The first live debrief of the new year gave us several Shyan moments, including Ryan complimenting Shane's hands, singing to him, (lyrics include "I love you" btw) and both of them making (yet another) joke about how well-endowed Shane is.

Then MF gave us canon Shyan, when Shane dressed as Ryan on the show. Which led to some interesting bloopers the following week when Ryan offered to undress for Shane.

Standrew
Standrew's first video of the year had a couple restaurant owners questioning their marital status.
No telling where they would have gotten this idea from.

All weekend long from June 5th, 6th, and 7th 2026 creators can work on any rpf fanworks (new or old), hang-out and chat with other creators, and use our tools to make progress on their fanworks.
You need to join the new RPF Creators Discord to get access to all our tools and to get your custom role and badge once you finish the retreat!
DISCORD LINK
This event was inspired by similiar events from the ficwip community but this server and all events will be centered around making more RPF fanworks!
[faq below the cut]
What is a creator's retreat?
It's a multi-day event where you can write or create fanworks from wherever you are in the world with other creators. You can also choose to be as active as you want by participating in any or all of the days. Write for one day. Or draw all three days. The choice is yours!
Do I have to be writing to participate?
No, you can be drawing or editing videos or making other content too. However, some of the guides and prompts for the event will be geared towards writers specifically so some things might not apply to all.
Do I have to work on something new?
Not at all! Dig out any WIPs that you want to work on or need an extra push to finish.
Will the event be for w*tcher rpf only?
You are welcome to write for any rpf ships during the retreat but there will be lots of attention on Shyan, Standrew, etc. The server is open to all but it's starting with these as our main focus. We can make more categories and channels if they are requested.
What do I get for participating in the retreat?
Everyone who participates will get a custom server role and 2026 badge you can share! You'll also (hopefully) get to make progress on a new fanwork to post for everyone to enjoy!
I feel like all I ask for on here is fan fiction recs (ᵕ—ᴗ—)
It's not actually a road trip but it's easier to explain It as such. The trips will be minimum of 4 hours/week. But basically, usually any fic length is fine for me, but I've been craving long-form media for a while. Every time I finish a long fic, I'm on a high for approximately 5 minutes before I start mourning. And I know I can just reread them, but its not the same... So I figured the best decision was to read something that takes days to finish so I can be immersed in that world for as long as possible...
Anyway, here's a fandom + pairing list, please send me your fav long fic that applies:
(btw, to me, long is 10k+ words) (ratings: any, but I prefer Mature) (gen relationships ok) (applicable content warnings: major character death and graphic depictions of violence ok, the others are not my preference but allowed if they add depth to stories/are done respectfully)
RPF
Bandom - Ryan Ross/Brendon Urie, Gerard Way/Ray Toro/Frank Iero (+any pair combination), Mikey Way/Pete Wentz, Pete Wentz/Patrick Stump, Patrick Stump/Joe Trohman, Joe Trohman/Andy Hurley
Watcher Entertainment (Buzzfeed Unsolved) + Buzzfeed: Worth It - Ryan Bergara/Shane Madej, Andrew Ilnyckyj/Steven Lim
