Another lovely summer is upon us, and that means it's time to celebrate with yet another xiv event!!
Since the plan is to stretch it throughout summer, I’m doing a longer “deadline” for each prompt + an opening and closing day. This way, we can star/end together but still have our own pace in betweens <3
MAKE SURE TO USE: #XIV HEATWAVE FESTIVAL
As always with my prompts: you will get a theme + a specific prompt + a quote. This time, since it's weekly prompts, you can use any of the 3 prompts any time during that week. Be it just one or multiple posts per week, mix and match some of them, skip others entirely - you do you!
— GUIDELINES:
this list is intended for every medium! I once again made sure to add quote prompts to make it easier for writers, but feel free to pick and choose whatever you want: gpose, art, gifs, writing, anything goes!
none of the prompts are mandatory, specially not this time. you have 3 prompts every week to use them as you please!
NSFT works are welcome. You know me by now and know some of those are purposefully suggestive, but feel free to go crazy with any of them! just remember to tag and label them accordingly to those who don't wish to see this type of content.
It starts in JULY, so we have a month to prepare + during the weeks.
Still, if you can't make it on those dates, trust me, there's no real deadline. This is intended for all summer but if you ever feel like following it later, feel free to join!!
Make sure to use and lurk the hashtag: #XIV HEATWAVE FESTIVAL to support your fellow creators and DRINK WATER!

FAQ
Is this only for people who never use mods?
No, not at all! This is open to everyone to use only vanilla, even if you normally enjoy using other tools
Do I have to do all the prompts?
No, you can do those you want to!
Why a whole month?
I suck at doing challenges that are one day/prompt, so this is for me and any fellow slowpokes
Can I use any post processing tools, such as photoshop?
I think this goes against the spirit of the challenge, which is to highlight the built in tools
Can I enhance my gposes with AI?
NOPE
Can I post this challenge on bluesky, twitter, pillowfort, etc
Sure! I will not be tracking anything there but feel free to post it there if you want
