Rules, Guidelines, (pretty much anything you need to know) for Roku Week 2026!
Prompts ✦ AO3 Collection ✦ Asks/FAQ
As Roku Week comes closer and closer, here are some rules, guidelines, and everything you need to know for this event!
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, comments, or concerns that may not be addressed under the cut!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
Just create something about Roku! Whether it's fanart, fanfic, edits, headcanons, meta, poetry, analysis, gifs (gifsets if you're feeling fancy) - anything and everything you can think of is welcome! Following the prompts is encouraged, but if you're really inspired by something outside of the prompt list, that's cool too!
Please use the tags #rokuweek and #rokuweek2025, as they will be tracked! You can also mention this tumblr, rokuweek, in your submissions if you want to be extra sure it gets reblogged!
All submissions will be reblogged here by the end of the day. While the tags above won’t be as closely monitored as they will during Roku Week, late submissions are allowed and encouraged! :)
You can also add your submission to the Roku Week 2025 Collection on AO3!
RULES & GUIDELINES:
1. Follow general fandom etiquette. The principles of being kind and respectful of others' works and don't like, don't read apply (for the latter, where applicable). Ship/character bashing will not be tolerated, and most importantly: tag your work properly!
2. Works that have been plagiarized or generated using generative AI will not be allowed.
3. NSFW works will be allowed - provided that any characters involved are consenting adults, and you follow Tumblr's guidelines regarding explicit content. Worst case scenario, you can post your submission elsewhere and just link it here so it can be shared :)
4. Whitewashing, racism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, sexism and any other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated. However, works that explore these themes (i.e, internalized homophobia) will be accepted, provided they are tagged with the appropriate warnings.
5. All works should primarily be about Roku, but other characters and relationships from the ATLA-verse that may not be from his era are welcome.
6. When posting a work with either visual or audio media, please try to include a description of said work in the post itself or in the ALT text. If you're not sure how to do that, here is a helpful guide all about image descriptions!
7. Have fun! This is supposed to be a fun event celebrating Avatar Roku.
[Image ID: A young Roku is walking through the spirit world. He is shown from the waist up and looking over his shoulder to the left. There is a strong shadow being cast on the right side of his body. Behind him is an older Avatar Roku standing back on to the viewer. His colours are partially see-through and line art is blurry. Over top of everything are white and yellow swirling line that have faded sketches of both Roku's and Aang's life inside of it. /End ID]

Now... does this fit the prompt... maybe. But I enjoy when characters gets visions or dreams about their futures, whether they realize it or not.
