Perihelion Day Bingo 2026

Event in progress! Get your bingo cards from pinned post and play! (Rules and FAQ in pinned.)

[peridaybingo2026]

Welcome to Perihelion Day Bingo event!

What is Perihelion Day Bingo? It's an event celebrating our favourite transport bot blorbo, Perihelion (the Asshole Research Transport as Murderbot affectionately calls it)! The goal is to create fanworks: whether it's fics or art focusing on Peri and its unique experiences and perspective as machine intelligence. If you're a fan of ART or just The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells you're welcome to participate!

This blog will be collecting and archiving works made during the event.

If you're looking for place to share your bingo card and discuss your ideas feel free to join Murderserver discord where we have a dedicated thread for bingo event! (How to play, rules and FAQ under the cut.)

FAQ:

How to play? Get your bingo card here and save the link! Everyone's layout of prompts will be a little different. If you're an artist and the prompts are a bit too abstract, you can choose the visual edition of the prompt card from here. How long does this event last? It lasts from January 3rd (Perihelion Day) for 2 weeks until 17th of January. The ao3 collection will be open for a bit later, until 31st of January, for those who work a little slower. After that time it will be closed and no new works can be added. The same will happen on tumblr: we will be reblogging new works until January 31st, after that the blog will stay up as an archive. How to get a bingo? To win you have two methods. Short form method: you either need to write 5 drabbles or draw 5 sketches that will get you a bingo line. Long form method: you need to write a longer work or draw a comic/full illustration that includes 5 prompts from your bingo card that line up. Which method you will choose is up to you! What do I win? Self satisfaction that you created something for ART, the ultimate transport blorbo. If you join Murderserver, you will also get a commemorative role with a unique color you could use. And a community of people who love the same character as you do! Where should I post finished works? You can post your fics or art on ao3 (we have a collection here) or on tumblr. Or post your work on both platforms! Make sure to tag tumblr posts with PerihelionDayBingo2026 tag so we can find your works and reblog them.

RULES:

1) To get a bingo win you need to create a work or multiple works that includes prompts that line up horizontally, vertically or diagonally. 2) You may create 5 smaller works (5 drabbles or 5 sketches) or 1 bigger work (longer fic, full illustration, comic). 3) Include the tags you're fulfilling in the tags or description or chapter names of your work. 4) Include the link or image of your bingo card in your work/works. 5) Your works should center Perihelion (Asshole Reaserch Transport). Additional characters are allowed but they should be secondary and used to highlight qualities of our fav asshole transport bot. 6) As long as the focus of your works is on Perihelion (Asshole Reaserch Transport), shipping is okay. If you're uncomfortable with shipping, feel free to choose prompts that are ship free (which are the majority of them). If you want to make a shippy fic but your pair isn't on the bingo card, go ahead and tag it appropriately. 7) Posting multiple drabbles or sketches in the same work is encouraged but not required, as to not spam the Murderbot tag. 8) You may choose the main bingo card or the visual edition card. The visual edition card is aimed at artists, but feel free to use whichever you find more inspiring. Or you may mix and match the prompts from both cards! 9) Have fun!!

If you have any more questions after reading FAQ and Rules, either ask in the server or send us an ask here!

Perihelion Day Bingo entry 2 ✌️back 2 back 😎

This one for Wires and Family- and that makes bingo 😌💅

Card ⬇️

[redlightsignal]

these two are "someone will die" except that's the end of the statement

for the human!Art prompt for the perihelion day bingo ! imagine that ART is a heavily (neural) augmented human and is the pilot in a mech type way.

okay so. it has neural augments that run from its brain down its spine, integrated completely with its nervous system. to pilot the ship/interface completely, it has a little cubby thing where it plugs in and now it is effectively the ship. no I haven't thought abt logistics.

there is no real reason for it to then have additional devices other than "I thought it looked cool" so yeah idk. it's cool.

it's still Seth and Martyns kid; I think PSUMNT introduced an experimental mech piloting program and ART signed up immediately and passed with flying colors. its technically a part of the crew but everyone understands it to be nearly synonymous with the ship. it likes to hang out as the ship in the feed bc its still a control freak. idk this was created to justify a human ART

“How did you know I was one of the Ganaka Pit units?” -Artificial Condition chapter 9

When the Perihelion arrives home early from its latest solo cargo run, it reaches out to its most-trusted human with a veritable barrage of urgent, yet cryptic, distress calls. Peri going off script isn't new or all that worrying to Iris, but the illegal stowaway in its hold certainly is.

I may be super late to this but I was filled with a ridiculous sense of glee that I generated a bingo board and the first prompt is therapy. ART needs therapy and the board knows it

[peridaybingo2026]

ART absolutely needs therapy, alas it wouldn't admit it. Tragic. Murderbot should bully it about it.

Thanks for sharing your bingo card and you're not late at all! The event runs until 17th of January and the works will be shared until 31st!

[hazeleks]

For "small", "drone", "artmb" prompts in the Peri Day Bingo! Even a smol ART drone has a big and demanding presence

[peridaybingo2026]

Perihelion Day? No, Perihelion Week. Perihelion Month even!

It's what ART deserves and that's how much time you have to participate in Perihelion Day Bingo 2026 that started on January 3rd (the day Earth was closest to the sun)!

Check how to play here!

For the prompts "small," "family," and "drone" on the murderserver's perihelion day bingo!

I like to think Seth and Martin tried to have semi equivalent milestones to Iris' development w ART so here's a First Drone Calibration/Baby steps. It was absolutely recorded, many pictures taken, and put in the family scrapbook next to pics of Iris' first steps
