Merlin Scar Diagram because everyone’s convinced the reason we never see Merlin shirtless after the first episode is because he has too many scars for a “family show.”
***Update! Due to popular vote, we'll be pushing back the dates by a week! Please reblog/refer to this post for the new, correct dates. :)****
We’re excited to announce that Player Appreciation Week is returning for 2026! This year’s theme is “Online Friendships” in honor of Player’s mostly remote/virtual relationships in the show, and it will run from March 23rd to March 29th.
The daily prompts can be found in the graphic below. Text version and guidelines are under the cut.
Text version:
Day 1: Technical Difficulties
Day 2: Long Distance Celebrations
Day 3: Unread Messages
Day 4: Usernames
Day 5: “Wish you could be here”
Day 6: Timezone Differences
Day 7: First In-Person Meetup
Alternate 1: Pet Pictures/Meme Spam
Alternate 2: Radio Silence/AFK (Away From Keyboard)
Alternate 3: Virtual Hugs
Alternative prompts can be used in place of any day, and you can fill as many or few prompts as you want/have time for. The prompts themselves can be used as loosely or literally as you’d like. Prompts can be filled in any number of ways, including but not limited to: Fic, Art, Edits, Memes, Poetry, Analysis/Essay, Video, etc. If it’s fannish and you created it, it counts!
If you can’t post your work on the associated day, you are welcome to post it any time between March 23rd & March 29th. For anyone who needs just a little extra time to submit, we’ll continue to reblog works for the following week as a grace period.
As far as actual posting goes, create a post on your own tumblr blog and @playerappreciationweek , as well as tag #playerappreciationweek2026. If you write a fic, we encourage you to add it to the ao3 collection, Player Appreciation Week 2026. You can then make a tumblr post with the link to your work. We will reblog the posts for everyone to find.
Leading up to the event, if you would like to send a short teaser for your work, please submit it as an ask to this blog with the prompt and day it is for. Once it gets closer to posting week, we’ll post it as an advertisement to help us all get hyped!
Established in 2007, Summergen is a summer gift exchange for gen SPN fanworks. Gifts are posted anonymously, and the event closes with a Big Reveal at the end of the challenge, where everyone gets to find out who made what!
Hi, I absolutely adore your art!! I saw you've been taking requests and didn't see a post saying they were closed (so sorry if I missed something somewhere!!). Would you be willing to do something with Hunter being protective of Willow? No exaggeration, your art of Hunter being a human shield for Willow is possibly my favorite art piece across all of my fandoms. Lives in my head rent free and I think about it all the time. Your expressions are just so good!! *sobs*
aaaaaa thank you!!!!! i love that art its a favorite of mine i drew hvfdhb

Tentatively spanning between Sunday October 29th and Saturday November 4th, "Snake Boi" Callum Week (for lack of a better term) is a week dedicated to our baby boy's 'dark side' so to speak. Do you enjoy Callum's temper, his fiercely protective nature, his obsessive tendencies with magic, or the potential dark path stretching out ahead of him? Do you want to explore his increasingly angsty interiority, or want him to angrily punch more people in the face? Then this is the week for you!
Side note: since one of the core components (usually) of this kind of focus is an emphasis on Callum's selective loyalty to Ezran and Rayla above anyone else, Rayllum and the Broyals are the expected most likely dynamics to focus on. However, 'outsider' pov or examination of Callum's bonds with other characters is more than welcome, as is whump or anything else (so long as it is properly tagged/rated).
Sunday October 29th: Choices / Consequences
Monday October 30th: Power / Politics
Tuesday October 31st: Mirrors (literal or metaphorical) / Magic
Wednesday November 1st: However Dangerous, However Vile / I Would Do anything For You
Thursday November 2nd: Temper / Ruthlessness
Friday November 3rd: More than anyone or anything / Inner circle
Saturday November 4th: Destiny / Chains
As always prompts are just suggestions / guidelines (feel free to do something indirectly inspired or not inspired at all from these), all forms of creation - fic, meta, playlists, etc., - are readily encouraged, and there's no limit on when 'late' things are 'accepted'. We're here, unlike our boy, to have a good time, tag your stuff accordingly (especially if it veers into possibly triggering territory imagery or content wise) and have fun with all the angst and/or hurt-comfort your heart can ask for! Just remember:
timelapse/speedpaint of my fur rendering process in more detail to match with my other tutorial :) i have most fun with this specific texture because i can just completely shut my brain off for it!! i use this texture for grass/plantlife, general fibres and like..human hair not just fur too, but the principals of like. blocking in shapes and refining them is pretty generally applicable! i have uhhhh a scale and a wing tutorial on my list to do but feel free to request others! trying to teach is a form of learning in its own right so its good for me
