Introducing Halloweek

What is it? Halloweek is an alternative to inktober and trends of that style, where instead of a whole month of challenges, I complete one week that ends in a fundraiser and a giveaway!

Day 1

Blocktober 24th: Minecraft build in the theme of the top Minecraft comment thread on this post! (Please comment "__ in Minecraft" for clarity) You can vote by replying to different threads in the comments. Votes close at midnight the day of the theme.

Day 2

Fictober 25th: a short story set in the world of my fictional universe that will be canon forever in the theme of the top fiction comment thread on this post! (Please comment "__ in fiction" for clarity)

Day 3

Maketober 26th: a makeup look in the theme of the top makeup comment thread on this post! (Please comment "__ in makeup" for clarity)

Day 4

Inktober 27th: I will tattoo permanently on my body forever the top tattoo comment thread on this post! (Please comment "__ as a tattoo" for clarity) The tattoo will be 3" x 3", so any characters commented will be done in a chibi style.

Day 5

Linktober 28th: I post the link to my discord server where I'll be streaming a movie at 6 pm EST! Movie will be the top movie comment thread on this post! (Please comment "__ for movie" for clarity)

Day 6

Walktober 30th: for every dollar (1 USD) donated I will walk 100 steps up to 20,000 steps! Funds raised will be donated to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and proof will be posted.

Donations will be raised via the PRCF website, but if you don't have an account you can dm me and I'll give you my ko-fi, PayPal, et cetera, and that money will go to the total.

Donations can be made now through November 2nd, because that is the day I will be walking. My goal is $200 because I'm not a huge blog but I think this is attainable.

Hale's PCRF Fundraiser

Day 7

Rocktober 31st: reblog and like this post and follow @star-thief to be entered into a raffle, and the winner will be mailed a crystal! More details to come.

**must be over 18 and a North American resident**

Donation to PCRF is not mandatory for the giveaway

Anyone is encouraged to participate by creating their own art and tagging me in it or using #halloweek2024! This is meant to be a very laidback way I can participate in a content creation trend and get others excited while raising money!

Wanted to get back into video editing and I thought I would cut together some of my games on the PBE Server testing builds for Season 14 with Akali and Yasuo. Let me know what you think and thanks for watching!

League of Legends gameplay from the PBE server testing new item builds on Akali and Yasuo for fun. Season 14 looks like it is going to be fun!

Come along, My Friend

"I will always love you How I do Let go of a prayer for you Just a sweet word The Table is prepared for you" - Frank Ocean's "Godspeed" from the album blond

I did not do the laundry today your new dress has been dragged to the center of the bedroom Little slept upon it when she finally tired of chasing her brother I'll tell you about it later I worry about telling you about it And if the clouds are gray I did not find a job today there sits an empty bottle of my medication on my desk, next to a candy wrapper I decided I wanted the same tattoo as you The one we promised each other The one we spoke out loud for all to hear Please I would imprint you onto my soul if I could I would print money if I could I can do more I will clean my desk I thought of you today every day, without regret, or hesitation, with an earnest fleeting grace "Just a sweet word" I do We chose to brand our love beneath the flesh instead of on top You are my sunshine my only sunshine I saw you in my dreams I see you in my dreams I dreamt of you From that first night I've been chasing the sun Godspeed I chase the sun And if you see my reflection In the rain And if the clouds are gray Please Come along, my friend Even the night is blessed by the light of the sun Even mountains can crumble to the sea Just as long as you stand, stand by me You told me one day my lungs will be pink again Next month is Christmas I will find a way to make it a memorable one for you You always have for me You got my grandfather's guitar back And I have you What more could I want Icarus could have stretched upon the moon Could have danced beside the memory Could have sung under the light Could have started a religion and preached to the stars Icarus could have could have "The Table is prepared for you" Israel sung that somewhere Way up high Bluebirds fly I saw you there You came true And the dream that you dare to And I think it's gonna be a long, long time Why, oh why can't I? Three weeks now and I already breath better So I will capture you a trophy I will fly amongst the stars and pluck you a gift with ribbon and string And I think it's gonna be a long, long time But I can do better And I will, you know But when we do And I think it's gonna be a long, long time When we look upon the light of the golden hour Stand by me Hand in mine Come along, my friend Godspeed
