Zexal Month 2018, day 6
(Prompt: Table for two)
Yuma wants to show Astral what other food tastes like and decides to treat him to some dinner in Zexal III fusion. They kind of got their ramen noodles tangled up and are now having a Lady and the Tramp moment.
Astral has no clue what he is doing (or does he?) and Yuma is a deer in the headlights. He seems to be happy enough about the outcome, though... X3
For the second year Zexal Month will be hosted by only myself ( @wendymoto ). @yaminoamber has a big big work commitment IN FRANCE CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. Our lovely Amber will be ascended into French territory and won’t be back until December. She’ll have bits and pieces of internet, but work comes first! So please send Amber your wishes and luck. <3
Before I start the information, I would just like to mention that with each week, I will be holding a ‘Content Creator’s Showcase’. Information on how this works and how to ‘enter’ will be posted separately from this information post. Stay tuned!
For the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the ZEXAL MONTH INFORMATION.
This year I wanted to do things a bit differently to allow a lot more creative subjects. and because of this, weeks might look messy. Nevertheless I will learn from it if things don’t go as planned or if anyone has any concerns or ideas for next year, feel free to message me.
How you choose to contribute is entirely up to you.
For example, you could gif, draw, write, edit etc. The options are endless. Participating every day is not required!
Rules:
DO NOT REPOST ART FROM OTHER SITES WITHOUT PERMISSION. This includes artists on tumblr. Do not take their work without permission. These include sites that most reposted art are found. (E.g Paintbucket and sites like it, pinterest, instagram etc.)
Respect everyone’s work, headcanon etc.
Please respect any OC’s, fan characters, self inserts etc. Even if you don’t like them, they would mean the world to the creators. I’ll be tagging as ‘zexal oc’s’ if you would like to blacklist that.
Please tag ‘nsfw’ things as they are. Or triggers if you feel the need too.
ALL INFORMATION UNDER THE CUT
Tuesday 1st - Sunday 6th
Tuesday:
Design a new outfit DAY!
This is self explanatory. Pick characters and draw any and all outfits you like. Put them in some of your clothes if you want! Be as fashionable or as ridiculous as you like (This day was inspired by Yuuma in episode 9!)
Wednesday:
Different Characters who were not Barians or Astral beings as Barians or Astral beings E.g. Draw/write their past or a scene with other Barians/Astral beings.
Anyone who has thought of other characters as the Barian/Astral race, it’s your time to shine! You can use your imagination to experiment with design ideas, backstories, duels, scenes, headcanons and more.
Thursday:
ZEXAL imagines. (From the tumblr blogs)
Pick one of the examples from the 100+ imagines blogs and go with it. You don’t have to use these blogs, they are just examples. Please link to the post from the imagines that you choose.
As we know, many characters died in the last arc of Zexal. Today is a day to re-do their deaths in perhaps a more meaningful/impactful/traumatic way. Or if you prefer, plan the death of a character who didn’t actually die at all. How would that go? Let us know on Death Day!
Sat/Sun: Catch up/Preparing weekend.
Monday 7th - Sunday 13th
Monday:
YGO/YGO ZEXAL crossover Day! (Any Yu-Gi-Oh! series crossed with ZEXAL.)
This one is as simple as anything. Only rule is you’re combining Yugioh and Yugioh: whether it’s one of the other series, from Season 0 to VRAINS, or with one of the many YGO movies, anything goes!
Tuesday:
Card game crossovers Day. E.g. Vanguard, Magic of the Gather or even UNO.
Any other card game crossovers with ZEXAL that you would love to show off. This day is for you!
For extra convenience, I have found a Magical Card Anime and Manga list and a mass list of Card Games.
Wednesday:
Take your new/current fandom and ZEXAL and squish ‘em together!
FANDOM’S EVERYWHERE. Fandom’s that you’re in now crossed with ZEXAL. Squish ‘em together in one huge pile and display it for the world! Due to the fact that we already had days for them, other YGOs and Card Game Anime are excluded: pick another fandom for this day!
Thursday:
Question time! Any ZEXAL mysteries that weren’t solved that you wished were solved?
List, describe or show your headcanons for those mysteries if you have any.
Friday:
Free Crossover Day.
Any crossover with ZEXAL that you would like to make, plop them into a post and post it today!
Sat/Sun: Catch up/Preparing weekend.
Monday 14th - Sunday 20th
Monday:
OC/Fan Character Day!
Feel free to do anything with your OCs on this day! Show and explain them. Draw them in an outfit, tell us what they do, what decks they use or if they do not duel. Anything goes with OC’s today!
Tuesday:
Self Insert Day.
This day is mostly an experiment for Zexal Month. I’ve recently seen plenty of fandom’s do these kind of things, so if you like the idea of this day, post as much as you like. Make it successful and I shall bring it back in coming years
If you’re looking for examples, you could write yourself talking to your favourite character about a certain thing. Maybe about another show/anime. Maybe yourself geeking out with Astral over Esper Robin/The Sparrow. Or just a drawing of yourself with your fav character.
Wednesday:
Different Protag Day. What do you think would have happened if somehow Yuma’s protag status was switched to someone else?
Any minor characters you think would be great as a Yu-Gi-Oh! protagonist. Writing, drawing, gifs, headcanons, etc.
Thursday:
Since it is Tasuku Hatanaka’s birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TASUKU HATANAKA.), on this lovely Thursday will be a tribute to anything and everything Yuuma.
Possibilities are endless with this one. Yuuma is in everything, shipping, AUs etc. Go for it. Favourite moments, things Yuuma inspired you about, Yuuma videos, fanfics, art and AU’s. Or if you would like to share any in real life Kattobingu life moments. Nows your chance!
Also, here is the link to his twitter if any of you would like to give him a message or shower him with love.
Friday:
Wishes that you wanted to happen.
Things that you wish had happened that you would have loved that would have been great in canon.
A challenge is waiting for you all. I challenge you to not think about shipping and ships with this one. As much as the majority of you ship just about anything and the kitchen sink in ZEXAL, what things would be great in canon that doesn’t include shipping. For example, Yuuma’s parents being able to go back home and be with their family again.
Sat/Sun: Catch up/Preparing weekend.
Monday 21st - Sunday 27th
Monday:
One True Pairing (OTP) Day.
SPREAD YOUR OTPS ALL OVER THE PLACE. SHOW THE WORLD YOUR LOVE FOR PAIRINGS IN ZEXAL. SPREAD THEIR LEGS. (Stupid joke Wendy, stupid joke. But yet I still laughed at myself.)
Tuesday:
If a ship was canon, how would it go?
Create all of your headcanons, imaginations, feels, into posts for the fandom to see!
Disclaimer: Dub and Sub day are experimental days. If you like them, make them successful.
Wednesday:
ZEXAL DUB DAY (All dubs, English, German, Italian etc.)
For anyone who loves these dubs, feel free to gif or write anything to do with these dubs. I myself have posted some English dub gifs in the past.
Here is also Eli Jay’s twitter if you would like to send him a nice message about the English dub.
A challenge to anyone who doesn’t really like it, to write ONE or more things that they do like about it. Whether it be a certain voice, a few lines or the fact that they kept Yuuma’s full name.
Thursday:
SUB DAY: (Anything subtitled related.)
Today is more like an appreciation for the original ZEXAL subtitled. E.g. Redrawing a scene/cap into your style.
If you did not participate last year, or you don’t really know what to do for today, you can use the information from Week 1 last year and put them all in a post.
Friday:
Palette day’s. Today and Monday.
Use this palette I created to create any artwork that you would like to do. If you want, you can mix any of the days up with this palette, such as, using the sub day to create art of your favourite characters using the palette here. Or mix it up with the next day as well. I hope you guys like the colours I chose too. Also I would like to thank @metalgeartachyon for helping me with good palette colours. Love you miz miz. :)
Sat/Sun: Catch up/Preparing weekend.
Monday 28th - Thursday 31st
Monday:
Palette continued.
Tuesday and Wednesday:
Words Day’s.
Use any of these words to create any content that you wish. If you want, you can mix any of the days up with this as well. The choice is yours!
Thursday:
Fan’s day!
Send ZEXAL fans that you know and enjoy content from, send them a nice message. Or if you would like to list the content creators that you enjoyed from this month into a post, feel free to do that also. Send them some love. :)
