Rehearsal!

My commission for @fandomtrumpshate was an adaptation of @primtheamazing's lovely fic "Rehearsal"!

At first, I was supposed to do only 5 pages or something, but then I remembered that I'm a fool who loves Prim's fics sooooo I just did the whole thing. Eke!

Please let me know if y'all like it, and go give Prim a nice comment under her fic <3

Forget the cares of the too-human heroes, for now. Lay aside heroism and villainy. This is love, transcending humanity.

Earlier this year @asidian bid on a comic page from me for the Fandom Trumps Hate event. It took me a while (it was a busy year) but I've finally finished it!

Where do I even start when it comes to this gorgeous art piece, created by the amazing @seanchaidh7? I've been following Ash's work for a while, and honestly, anything she makes is pretty much gold. When I saw she was offering art for this year's (2025) @fandomtrumpshate auction, I decided to throw my name in the hat, and here we are! Yay! 🎉 When we started going back and forth for art ideas, one concept that kept poking me was a Teen Wolf + Red, White & Royal Blue mash-up. I love RWRB, and yeah, I'm also still very much in my Sterek era. Also...what if? What if Stiles decided to go for a prince (who happens to be Derek)? And who could even draw the best of both worlds? (Spoiler: you're currently looking at art created by that person!) Add in the red room scenario, and yep, Ash pretty ran with this whole idea. I couldn't have asked for better artist to make this scene come to life. This is very much Ash's style, and look at the little details she's added in with the bouquet, the picture frame, and even the shadowed gradient of the red wall! Plus, that heated gaze between Stiles and Derek? Captured. Perfect. I love how simple this scene is, yet layered all at once, like something Big is about to happen in the next second. Love, love! Ash, thank you so much for your patience, and for making me an art piece I can't stop looking at! I especially appreciated the brainstorming and seeing your overall process (as a fellow artist would)! 98089808 kudos to you for being awesome! ❤️😍

I won @theonevoice in the FTH auction! I wanted to see Aziraphale and Crowley when they were angels, and happy together, floating in space in a loose embrace. The art I received is absolutely stunning.

TheOneVoice came up with the brilliant idea of showing Angel Crowley crafting a new star with great care and love, while Aziraphale looks at Crowley with love. Their expressions are SO beautiful. Here is a close-up:

I am amazed at the talent and effort that went into this gorgeous work of art, and so grateful to both TheOneVoice and FTH for making this happen. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!!! I am overwhelmed (and overjoyed!).

FTH 2025 Donation Totals

Friends, this has been an extraordinary year for the auction. We know how and why this happened: like in early 2017, everyone is scared and upset and looking for a way to do something meaningful.

And—just like in 2017, and every year since—hundreds of us have stepped up to support our most vulnerable neighbors and the organizations working to protect them.

Except this year, we did it on a scale we've never done before.

Last year, our donation total was an incredible $67,776.28

This year's donation total...

are you ready for it....

(you're not ready for it. we weren't.)

This year's donation total is:

Yes, you're reading that right. $127,204.11

We're flummoxed too—and deeply grateful to everyone who has poured their time and effort and money and love into participating in the auction this year, and into the fanworks that will come from it.

If you're curious about how those donations were distributed across the different organizations, here is the breakdown (this breakdown doesn't include employer match donations, which is why the total is a little lower):

Bellingcat: $2,636.19

Congo Leadership Initiative: $2,842

Crips for esims for Gaza: $4,762.60

Disability Law United: $3,835.39

Environmental Integrity Project: $3,712

Fight for the Future Education Fund: $3,108

Freedom to Read Foundation: $7,139.50

Global Project Against Hate and Extremism: $6,473

Hope for Ukraine: $12,613.93

In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda: $3,626

Middle East Children's Alliance: $13,572.43

National Network to End Domestic Violence: $4,999.95

Never Again Action: $4,555

NLP: $3,745.16

Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights: $10,072.56

Umbrella: organizations serving vulnerable LGBTQ people

Brave Space Alliance: $2,558

Kentucky Health Justice Network Inc: $2,636

Sherlock's Homes: $7,780.77

TransFamily Support: $5,387.01

TransQueerPueblo: $2,949

Other local LGBT organizations: $10,696.71 Yes, you're reading that right again. Three orgs AND the cumulative Other local LGBT orgs broke five figures.

We're especially delighted because, for the first time, the umbrella category worked the way we've always hoped it would! As you can see above, significant numbers of people used the umbrella category as a way to connect to an organization local to them.

As we learned through people's comments on the donation form, some people donated to organizations they were already familiar with (and in some cases had already donated to, or even volunteered at); others used this as a reason to learn more about their local organization and support them.

We'll share more about the "other umbrella" donations over the next few weeks—some more detailed stats, as well as the names of some of the local orgs that people donated to—and we'll invite those of you who connected up with local orgs to share your stories. We love that so many people took this chance to support groups working in their own community, and we hope that we can keep that going next year and beyond!

And speaking of the future!

Now is a great time to follow @fth2025fanworks. We'll use that blog to share any auction fanwork that gets posted to tumblr.

We urge you to keep up with the organizations you supported this year (and the others on our list!) Follow them on social media, subscribe to their newsletters, whatever works best for you. It will enable you to keep an eye on the good work you've helped support, and to find out quickly when these orgs need some extra support, financial or otherwise.

And if you're looking out at the world and feeling the itch to do more, here are some possibilities:

Follow @fthaction, the meatspace activism wing of FTH. We relaunched this project in the weeks between the end of signups and the beginning of browsing period, sharing some reading lists, an individualized activism bingo card, and an AMA with activist and organizer Kat Calvin. (We also did a test-flight AMA with ourselves, talking about the auction.) We'll probably need some time to recover from this year's auction, but we'll be back soon with more resources to share, more AMAs, and more tools for exploring all the different forms that meaningful activism can take and for figuring out which ones are right for you.

Organize your own auction! We've put together a detailed playbook that contains that contains as much information and as many resources as we can provide for getting an auction off the ground, including detailed guides. Almost everything in the playbook is fully public; there are a few forms that are access-locked because google has stupid ideas about sharing forms, but we're happy to give you access to those, too: just drop us an email.

Over here at FTH headquarters we are all in need of a long nap. But we'll be back in a couple of weeks, as promised, to share more about the umbrella orgs and to dig back into @fthaction to see what's possible.

Looking forward to a whole bunch of new fanworks! <3 your FTH mods

Thank you so much for this fantastic journey and for being the most patient human being on this planet! :)
