We're officially one week out from the start of the famed Midsummer Masquerade! In case you've missed it, here's a reminder of what we've shared so far...
Here are our rules and prompts: remember that this is solely an 18+ event, and to tag all of your posts accordingly!
Here are some free-to-use banners made by our mods for you to add something extra to your posts!
And here is our "guest list" with ideas for you to share your OCs (if they plan to attend), what they're going to wear, and who they might be going with (or hope to see!).
We can't wait to see any and all contributions to this event!
Kassius will be visiting the Vesuvian Palace during this year's Midsummer Masquerade. He will be arriving behind a certain Consul that has been employing him for the last many years, although the two would deny any sort of association beyond that of a strictly professional relationship.
Kassius's outfit and accessories he'll be wearing to the event can be found under the cut
Celene will of course be in attendance to this year's Midsummer Masquerade at the Vesuvian Palace. She has received a personal, hand-delivered invitation from Count Lucio himself. Whether or not she agrees to his terms once she's there, well...that's another matter entirely.

Ruth Darmire will be in attendance at this year's Midsummer Masquerade. She will technically be attending alone, although she knows her lover, Julian, also received an invitation, so she would not be surprised if they found their way to one another during the main event...

realizing a headcanon of yours happens to make an element of canon even more heartbreaking when you hadn't even considered it from that angle previously

The Midsummer Masquerade is Vesuvia's worst kept secret - yet only a handpicked selection will receive an invitation to the most indulgent and decedent event of the year. Your OCs have managed to secure an invitation... and for good reason. Perhaps they'll be willing to share a taste of what's to come...
This is an 18+ only event. Minors DNI
We may still be two weeks away from the official start of our event, but we wanted to have a bit of early pre-show fun! We would like to call all willing participants to please introduce any and all OCs before submitting your official event content!
You can introduce your OCs with as much or as little information as you'd like to share, and in any medium, fic, art, moodboard, etc.. But please keep it event-focused, and remember that this event takes place in a nebulous, non-canon timeline, so don't feel locked into the events of the game or even your OCs backstory!
To make your Introductory post, you can either—
reblog directly from this post or
create your own post - but remember to tag us!
We will be reblogging all MM OC intro posts over the next two weeks to this blog so everyone will get a chance to learn more about the OCs that will be in attendance and featured during the event. Please tag us @midsummer-masquerade and use the hashtag #avesuvianmasquerade to be featured. Remember: Day 1 of the event starts June 21st!
We cannot wait to meet our guests and see what you have in store for us~
Not sure how to introduce your OCs or what to include? Why not try—
Sharing art of them. It could be your own art, commissioned work, or even a picrew!
Make a moodboard. We love a good moodboard around here! Especially ones tailored around a particular theme.
Write an event bio. Since this event is all about the decadence of what goes on after dark, why not tell us about how they'll be showing up to the event? You can answer things like:
What will they be wearing? Or, more like, what won't they be wearing to an event such as this? Did they bring just one costume? Did they bring an entire wardrobe with them? Describe it to us, post art, or post some photos of what they'll be showing up in~
Will they be arriving in attendance with someone? Someones? Or will they come alone?
Are they bringing any accessories with them? Or are they looking forward to what the palace has to offer instead?
Remember, these are just examples to give you an idea if you need some inspiration. This is certainly not an exhaustive list of what you have to post!
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
