apologies for the delay in getting out the prompts formatted nicely, life was life'ing you know how it is, but theyre here! in a nice list and everything!
now, for the good part, last year we had a lot of people just doin' whatever, and to be frank yeah i really fucked with that energy even if it was a byproduct of the event being rushed. so that said, if forever reason you cannot follow the prompts due to limitations of media being used (drawing, analysis, crochet, graphical edits, video edits, poetry, moodboards, etc), just go for it! please make sure to tag us in the posts though even if they arent following the prompts, we do wanna get everything in one place!
the Ao3 collection is gonna be made tonight, so we'll probably edit this post to include the link or make a freshie post for it in itself
that said, happy creating! hope the preamble downtime to create beforehand is helpful, and i hope that everyone who wants to is able to make something for this event regardless of what it is!
Ven was supposed to be cheering for Aqua, but at some point he’d stopped paying attention to the fight itself.
The heat rising in his stomach wasn’t from the sun overhead or the Fire spells cast between opponents, but from the sight of Riku’s very shirtless and very muscular body. Freckles and scars decorated his skin.
Ven couldn’t help himself. He stared.
“What’s got you so red?” Vanitas demanded.
Ven nearly jumped out of his skin. “W-what do you mean?”
“Your face looks like a tomato.”
Vanitas’s observation only increased the deep flush on Ven’s face. He shoved Vanitas away.
ladies, gents, and everyone in between or outside of those parameters, we are back again for 2026, this time kickin' off the announcement a little bit sooner. after last years outstanding support and excitement for this event, we've decided to run it again! the planning is just about all the same as last year too, no big surprises about it.
and, as always, a little bit about your host. hi! we're Mito/Rev, our pronouns are ve/1t, and technically we're the same guy running it as last year but with a sprinkling of turns out theres more than one of us. we're collectively aromantic with some variance in how the lot of us experience our non-ace aro'ness.
schedule
prompt submission: May 1st to May 10th
prompt voting: May 11th to May 17th
prompts posted: May 18th (probably won't have fancy formatting)
downtime to pre-create: May 18th to May 31st
posting week: June 1st to 7th
guidelines
1: anyone can participate! whether you're non-ace aro, aroace, alloace, or alloallo, you can participate! just keep the works focused on aromanticism without the asexuality, yeah?
2: please tag your works properly! nsfw and dead dove creations are allowed and welcomed, but it'd be nice if ya tagged 'em
3: don’t worry about posting “late”! i’ll be scrolling around for things posted late through all of June, aim for posting during the week but it’s okay if ya don’t. however, if you do post late please tag the blog* to ensure we see it!
4: any fandoms** and any “ships” are allowed! this is a multifandom event, and, truthfully, the more the merrier and all that jazz!
5: most importantly, have fun with it!
aaaaaaaand, yep, that brings this post to a close!
all in all, we continue to hope that this event brings the non-ace aro community a little closer together, raises awareness of non-ace aro experiences in fandom, and most importantly, that everyone has fun with this event

*last year there were issues with posts not showing up in the tag, so if you desperately want your post to be reblogged here we would suggest just tagging us to make sure we see it
**the one stipulation to this is works by jk rowling and neil gaiman, we cant stop you from making them, but we wont be reblogging them
haaa, sorry for posting this a bit late in the day. that said, prompt submission week has started! feel free to submit as many prompts as you like, and if you come up with more prompts later, submit those too!
note: last year we had a few anonymous asks with prompts, i really do encourage using the form, but if youre unable to do so then the askbox is open!
