If you'd be so inclined, could you link or embed an image of your Custom Shepard (Classic or MELE!), I really wanna draw people for warmups and I'd like to offer free art! :D
Drawings will be done traditionally & digitally if I have time! :D
Please everyone, grace me with a minute of your time and read what follows. I'm bringing to your notice @klayr-de-gall 's multifandom multiship art challenge.

8/3- Newton's First Law: Inertia
Submitted by: Anon
law of inertia but specifically about stratt and grace! "an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion." some sort of symbolism of how she stays stuck on earth, stuck as the scapegoat, and how he is always on the next thing on erid, and is now a savior for their worlds.
8/4- Newton's Second Law: Force
8/5- Newton's Third Law: Reciprocal Action
8/6- Pale Blue Dot
Submitted by: Anon
Would love to see a prompt for earth's new climate/ice age before the beatles make it back, and how eva + the phm team post-launch lives! Are they renegade scientists aboard that ship in the arctic? Was Stratt condemned by all of earth for her role in the phm mission and forced to escape imprisonment, or did she continue the mission afterwards with gov't approval? what do all our cities look like during an ice age? just ice age earth and eva + co. trying to save humanity while grace + rocky are out saving the stars!
8/7- In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
8/8- To Boldly Go
Submitted by: @hellomynameisalias
how about a Star Trek AU? Could go many ways. Maybe eridians are part of the federation, and Rocky and Grace are a chief engineer and chief science officer aboard a starship. Or maybe the eridians are more like the klingon (or the borg? ๐) hostile to anything Federation........ until a landing party gets attacked and Grace has to rely on the help of an also-marooned enemy! Or maybe erid has just broken the lightspeed travel barrier, and a first contact entourage is sent down to interview the genuis engineer who invented their first warp drive...
8/9- Many Universes
Submitted by: Anon
1)favorite quote/bit from favorite tv show, but redone as phm fanart, 2)seconding the crossover prompt <3
8/10- First Contact
Submitted by: @blue-gears
First contact -> Grace in the lab, naming and discovering Astrophage biology, or any other character or OC first learning about Astrophage or the Petrova Problem, or stuff about the ArcLight probe :)
8/11- Culture Exchange
8/12- Cosmic Mythos
Submitted by: @nebulae-astros-official
Graeco roman mythology or pjo crossover!! Bc yk astronomical objects are usually named after greek/roman mythology figures and ryland grace, son of apollo will not get out of my head ALSO grace and Rocky Orpheus and Eurydice parallels AND adrian and Rocky odypen parallels

Downtime
The Crew's All Here
Touched Starved
8/14- Radiation Damage
Submitted by: @specialagentartemis
Prompt submission: radiation damage. (Grace gets a โsunโburn during a beach day on Erid? Fic about the Patrova taskforce attempting to find other ways to kill astrophage closer to home? The bittersweetness of the Hail Mary quilt fading in the domeโs โsunโ over time? Rockyโs 46 Year Long Cosmic Horror Nightmare? yes)
8/15- Laser

8/17- Xeno-Veterinarian
Submitted by: @fan-stuff-and-things
Grace's Eridian doctors are large animal veterinarians. There are some awkward adjustment periods.
8/18- Rainbow
Submitted by: @j-atticus
Prompt submission: rainbows!
Another: red string of fate
8/19- Extra-Spectral Colors
Submitted by: Anon
Grace describes something as magneta and rocky is confused as to why the light-to-texture device reads it as green. (Middle rough)
Cue Grace having to explain that magenta happens when the average wavelength of an item falls into the green section but the item itself actually reflects exclusively red and blue light so our brain interprets it as magenta instead of green.
Rocky baffled that the human brain just straight up invented a color that doesn't really exist.
Submitted by: @delyth88
Prompt suggestion: Grace has spent nearly a decade on the Hail Mary by the time he gets to Erid. Like him its survived far longer than was ever intended and is looking a bit worn around the edges.
How does he feel leaving the ship? Is it a relief, or does he miss it? Is he sad to go? Scared about leaving its safety even though it's cramped? Or is it falling apart when he gets to Erid and no longer a safe haven?
And what does Rocky think about all of this?
8/22- Recovery
Submitted by: Anon
i feel like not a lot of people talk about grace's starvation near the End of the trip to erid and I think that it should be more delved into with more impact such as the obvious more medical reasons such as unable to gain weight or muscle ect ect, but I would like to see more ED rep, especially because personally I head cannon grace as on the spectrum, and I, who is on the spectrum, suffer from mild arfid. so its something I'd like to see :D
Submitted by: Anon
i want more of grace gaining weight on erid! i want him recovering from starvation (and if you so choose, an eating disorder) and gaining weight and being happy!!
also! physical disabilities. maybe grace has to use a cane or a wheelchair or crutches or compression clothes. maybe rocky has chronic pain or joint issues or chronic fatigue. (we should make the rock disabled too)
8/23- Celestial Divinity
Submitted by: @volswaidkman
So i saw an au where Grace is just an angel sent down to earth to help humans save their universe and i liked it but i dont remember the og creator s uh....
Angel Grace AU as a prompt?

8/26- Astronomical Arts & Crafts
Submitted by: Anon
almost all of Grace's clothes are falling apart. he also needs a new hyperfixation. so he gets really really into fiber arts and makes so many clothes that the eridians get genuinely concerned.
8/27- Planetary Surface
Submitted by: Anon
prompt: surface of Adrian!!
8/28- Eridian Biome
Submitted by: Anon
Eridian biomes? I know they're under a ton of atmospheric pressure, but what about at different altitudes of the planet? Or how about Eridian civilization, like do they have villages or cities, what do their space elevators look like? Landscape prompt?
8/29- Eridian Exploration
Submitted by: @psychicdelusionblizzard

8/31- In Memoriam
Submitted by: @strangledbabyduck
another: monuments/fanart back on earth in memoriam of the PHM crew
Hello all! @phmbigbang was hosting a opposite day reverse mini bang so I got to write something for the lovely @mostlyvoid-partiallyturtles art! Go check it out if you can ^^b
If so, come join the third round of the Destiel AU Reverse Big Bang!! We have 70 (yes, 70!) artists working on absolutely incredible AU ideas that will need writers (that's you!) who want to write a fic about them.
You might say...
But I've never done a reverse bang before and I don't know how it works.
No problem! You won't be the only newbie, so questions are expected and welcomed. The basic idea of a reverse bang is that writers claim art from an anonymous gallery to write a fic about. It's a great way to make friends. Still have questions about the format? Take a look at the rules!
But I don't know if I'll have time.
We have a very generous schedule to give you plenty of time to write and brainstorm with your artist about the world you're creating together. Check out the schedule here.
But what if my writing isn't good enough?
We're beating you over the head with a newspaper until the impostor syndrome gremlins go away.
But what if I change my mind about participating?
There's no obligation for you to claim an art piece if you happen to look at the gallery of works by our 70 (70!!) artists and see nothing that inspires your muse. In the meantime, you get to hang out on our event server, which we like to think is one of the most fun places in fandom. We have group reads of fics, unhinged SPN finale rants, channels for writing advice and sprints, and, best of all, a bracket-style tournament where we pit AU Deans and AU Cas's against each other to decide once and for all whether Muppet Cas is superior to Alpha Cas. (Yes, we're a very serious bunch.)
Still have questions?
Feel free to contact your friendly mods, @hawkland, @friendofcarlotta, @valdelion, @wanderingcas and @faren, or send an ask on this blog!
So I saw metrilogyweek going on and wanted to participate, and saw a few folks doing mass effect oc sheets and so I did one :) This is all my current ME trilogy ocs! :D I hope you enjoy them and happy trilogy week!!!

Summary:
Dean Winchester is special, in the most frustrating way possible.
While every member of his entire family โ of his entire village even โ has developed magical abilities throughout their childhood, Dean has remained powerless.
At the ripe age of 43, he has accepted his fate and arranged himself in his life. Though it hurts, every day anew. His whole life he has felt as if something is missing.
When catastrophe hits, and everything โ everyone โ he cares for is trapped in an ice dome, Dean is the only one leftโฆ Until a stranger appears.
A stranger without powers.
Excerpt:
โLook, Uncle Dean! I can be you.โ
Harry beamed at him, and sneezed.
Where the youngest member of Deanโs family had just been standing - barely reaching Deanโs hips - now stood a perfect replica of Dean himself, facing him at eye level.
Although Dean couldnโt be happier for the kid, it hurt to witness the developments of othersโ powers time and again. As he smiled at his nephew, the gaping hole inside him threatened to swallow him, and pulled him into a bad mood once again.
He had thought one day the pain would fade, but it never did. It kept gnawing at his insides, creating an abyss that threatened to swallow him. All his life, he had been the bystander when his family and friends discovered and revealed their special abilities.
Dean had smiled at them. He had been genuinely happy for each of them and celebrated their special day. After all, it was a turning point in life; a highlight that eventually changed everyone.
Everyone Dean knew, actuallyโฆ except for himself.
Super excited to unveil my @infinitecakes collab with @seidenapfel! They were super sweet through the whole process, and we were both super excited to finally get to work together! Their story is a super sweet, and we really hope you enjoy it!
