Hi everyone! Mod Raccoon here!

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy Aromantic Awareness Week! I know we aren't doing anything as a team this year, so there are no prompts. But if y'all post anything Princess Tutu Aspec this week, I'll probably reblog it here.

I have my own Princess Tutu aromantic stuff in the works that I hope to get out this week, but no promises. I'll leave y'all with this reminder:

Not all stories about love are love stories!

[princesstutuaspecweek]

Today's Prompt is: Found Family & Healing

Today is the last day of Princess Tutu Aspec Week. I'm sad to see it end, but I am infinitely grateful to everyone who participated. You've all made this worth it, and I hope to do this next year as well!

PRINCESS TUTU ASPEC WEEK: QUEERPLATONIC & BONDS.

i think they should be weirder and more fucked up abt each other. feat a simpsons quote. what they have isnt romantic they have something much more sinister going on etc etc (its The Narrative)

[princesstutuaspecweek]

Today's Prompt is: Queerplatonic & Bonds

This is personally my favorite prompt of the week! I'm so excited to see my fav queerplatonic losers!

[nyanbinary-87]

Its Odette Time! this is a slightly late submission for the ptutu aspec week prompt ‘Courage’. its a redraw/reframing of one of my FAVORITE shots in the show, the s1 finale pas de deux lift, seen under the cut.

now, you may be wondering, "nyan, who the hell is odette?" and. well. thats on me i havent actually posted her to tumblr yet. partially bc odettes main design is made by my brother, partially bc im not sure the people will like her, shes on my artfight (nyanbinary87) if you have that, but if you dont, the TLDR is that shes mytho AND tutu. like, post-finale, if the "the pendant was a heart shard" was more literal and transgender.

but hold on, this is ASPEC week, not trans week! why is she here? well, its up to the mods if this is okayed as a submission, since odette is primarily a trans headcanon of mine. but, she is Also aspec, and this piece aims to emphasize that aspect of her. see, one of my favorite things about odette is how she completely reframes mytho and tutus relationship from a semi-romantic one to one of self love. theres something so beautiful in your true self putting together your false self because she only wants your happiness, even if it means her disappearance.

to emphasize that, this tutu takes on a form less like duck's tutu form. she borrows elements from my brothers odette design, which is basically siegfrieds design on a dress, as well as dropping elements from duck to favor the actual swan lake odette, particularly in the hair.

I FORGOT ABOUT TUTU ASPEC WEEK. TUTU ASPEC WEEK MY BELOVED. IM SO SILLY. heres smth for the prompt "loveless"!

[princesstutuaspecweek]

Today's Prompt is: Loveless & Courage

We haven't had any submissions yet, and I realized I haven't posted to the main tag recently so that might be it. I can't wait to see what y'all make. Remember you can make art or fanfictions or character analysis or honestly whatever you want!

[princesstutuaspecweek]

Curious how it will work if we want to help write image descriptions—would we be working with artists before the art is posted or just adding IDs to any undescribed art after the fact? And will there be any formalized pairing-up between artists and ID writers or will it be more of a loose thing? Sorry to bombard you with questions, I’ve just never participated in a fan event where this was an option. Thank you for making it one! :)

Hi! I pasted this question in from the google form, hope that's okay!

The idea is that artists who want help with their IDs can contact this blog and we'll match them with someone willing to help work on the ID. I'd like to have communication between the artist and ID writer if possible so things run as smoothly as possible. IDs should be written before the art is posted, so after the art is completed but before its posted.

Hope this clears things up! Please feel free to send in any more questions.

[princesstutuaspecweek]

Remember to write image descriptions before posting tomorrow! I don't think we have any ID writing volunteers yet, but I am able to write them if need be. I highly recommend people try to learn how to write IDs themselves. It is a great skill to have, and there are some great resources out there to learn.

Linked below is the post I used to learn how to write IDs!

How to Create Image Descriptions

So I’ve been creating image descriptions on tumblr for about a month, and I wanted to share some helpful guides I’ve found on how to create

Update

As some of you may have already seen, I (@raccoon-smiles) am now the head mod of this year's Princess Tutu Aspec Week due to extraneous situations with the other two mods. I hope to be able to run this show by myself with minimal support, but it will be little hard due to my job not allowing phones on shift. I ask that all people planning to participate this upcoming week refamiliarized themselves with the events rules to help this all go smoothly (the rules are linked in the pinned post on this account).

I can't wait to see all your amazing posts and hopefully make some of my own! Let's all work together to make this first time event go swimmingly!

[hope-less-aromantic]

shoutout to the aromantics who don't feel love at all. shoutout to the aromantics who feel love deeply but not in the way society wants us to. shoutout to the aromantics who are repulsed by romance. shoutout to the aromantics who are romance positive. shoutout to aromantics who have conflicting feeling about romance. shoutout to aromantics that are neutral about romance. shoutout to aromantics in qprs. shoutout to aromantics who aren't in qprs. shoutout to aromantics who are also asexual or aspec. shoutout to aromantics who are allosexual. shoutout to aromantics with conflicting identities. shoutout to aromantics who are questioning. shoutout to aromantics who are in relationships. shoutout to aromantics who are happy not in a relationship.

shoutout to every aromantic person reading this because you are valid and a welcome part of the queer community no matter who you are or what you identify as. you are so loved and appreciated <33

[queerfakir]

If anyone cares, my nearest and dearest headcanon is that duck is aro bi and fakir is bi ace and they’re queerplatonic best friends/partners. He has romantic feelings for her and she doesn’t return them. This isn’t to say Duck cares about him any less—she doesn’t feel that way about anyone (through their friendship she becomes comfortable enough to admit that). They’re both aware of this dynamic and happy with the relationship they have.

[raccoon-smiles]

If I told y'all Rue was aromantic, would you believe me? Would y'all listen when I say I've been where she is? Would y'all read a whole rant about it? I need to know!

[heronandcrow]

I also just conceptually love aroace Mytho because I think it's such an interesting lens through which to examine a character who has been made to perform romance both as a part of what would generally be expected of his storybook archetype and in canon whenever he was unable to give consent ( which involves being able to say no to people, which he could not do when Rue was making him act as her boyfriend pre-series and in early season 1. In addition to her shutting down his attempts to understand his own feelings towards Tutu, which the show suggests aren't really romantic but even then he deserved the chance to explore them without being stopped. And could still be fit into an aroace narrative. Mistaking non-romantic feelings for romantic ones because society is telling you that's how you're supposed to feel about it.) and through which to explore the idea of 'loving everyone and being loved by everyone' and what that even means.
