Thank you to everyone who filled out the interest check! With your input, we have decided to run from May 26th through June 1st, incorporating some of the many wonderful prompt suggestions received via the form.
When the time comes, please tag all entries with [ # Vashwood Week ] and [ # Vashwood Week 2024 ] in order to be promoted. In addition to this, please @ MENTION THIS BLOG in all entries so that I can see and boost your work.
I will be putting a copy of our guidelines below the cut, but you can find those and more written up on our carrd so please check that out if you need a refresher.
If you're not going to stick around for those, thank you for your time! I will be posting about the week in the days leading up to it, so stay tuned for that and happy Vashwooding!
⟡ For the mod's own personal comfort, any works featuring topics of non-consent, incest, and pedophilia will not be promoted.
⟡ NSFW content will be allowed so long as it is tagged appropriately. Pieces without adequate tagging will not be promoted.
⟡ Additionally, NSFW entries should have SFW thumbnails or blurring in order to get promoted by the account.
⟡ At the risk of stating the obvious, NSFW entries created by anyone under the age of 18 will NOT be accepted and will NOT be promoted. Any minor who tries to submit NSFW will be blocked, for their own safety more than anything.
⟡ The focus of this event will be the celebration of Vash and Wolfwood's romantic relationship; as such, entries featuring them in romantic relationships with other members of the cast will not be promoted. Past relationship stuff is fine, but please keep the focus on Vashwood.
⟡ In accordance with the above bullet, the mod also will not be promoting content focusing on the platonic relationship between Vash and Wolfwood. However, queer-platonic content will be allowed and promoted.
⟡ All forms of contribution will be accepted, be that visual art, writing, edits, playlists, cosplay, etc. However, all work submitted MUST be your own. There will be a zero-tolerance policy for plagiarism and if it is found that you are passing off anyone's work as your own, you will be blocked by all affiliated accounts and disqualified from participating.
⟡ Works created with the use of AI will not be promoted.
⟡ Late entries will be accepted indefinitely, even after the week has ended, so feel free to use the prompts to their fullest extent even if you aren't able to participate during the week itself!
⟡ This event is meant to be fun! Please do not bully, harass, or disparage any of the other participants. If it is discovered that you are doing so, you will be blocked and disqualified from participating.
⟡ All kinds of queer and trans headcanons will be accepted for this event. All forms of bigotry are absolutely not allowed and if it is discovered that a participant is harassing others on the basis of LGBTQ+ headcanons... well, you know what goes here.
Regarding the last bullet, please keep in mind that the "T4T" prompt does not specify any specific kind of transness, meaning that works featuring transfem, intersex, nonbinary, etc headcanons may be featured or even prevalent in entries. I ask that we make a specific effort to prevent the normalisation of transmisogyny in fandoms and be supportive of all different headcanons.
Thank you again for the support and we look forward to seeing what you create!
I know I’m hella late and it’s kinda embarrassing to post it now but I didn’t want this challenge to be left unfinished. I enjoyed the week and the fact that you’ve had plenty of really good prompts to choose from(daily!) so it was super fun and nice. It was my first time participating in any fandom pairing week and I’m happy I did!
I’m reeeeallly happy with how this turned out!! They look so in love<3 Very proud that this is my first piece for pride!! Sorry it’s coming to ya June 2, instead of the 1st. But I think it was worth the extra time spent.
Ended up having way less time than i thought to do stuff for @vashwood-week but i got these sketches out of my system inspired by some of the prompts when i really needed to dig myself out of art block the other day
A little re-draw based of Kiss of Judas by Ludovico Carracci!! I had fun with the composition and coloring on this one!! I’m really happy with how it turned out!!

Summary:
Wolfwood had a feeling that Vash would be the death of him. He just never thought it would be like that. He stares at the single red petal in his hand. It blends in so well with the blood on his hands that it could easily be overlooked. It makes him wonder briefly if it is the first one or just the first one he noticed so far. Wolfwood grapples with the realization that after everything, he can still love deeply and unconditionally but the prize for it is his life.
Well a little late for day 7 of @vashwood-week even by samoa time lol. anyway, its for free space because it was too long for just the flower/blood prompt.

Summary:
The fight at the orphanage was over and won but Wolfwood knew the prize he would pay for it was his life. He accepted it even if he had many regrets, especially in regards of Vash. But in a strange twist of fate, Wolfwood avoids the couch but instead gets another tomorrow.
The final chapter! it is still the 31. in some places, right? XD for day 6 'forgivness' (very loosely because it ws never meant to be this long lol) of @vashwood-week
Re draw of “The Ecstasy of Saint Teressa” by Gian Lorenzo Bernini!
I really love inserting my favorite characters into classical art. This piece isn’t perfect, but it was what I was able to make for today, so I’m proud of it! Original statue is below the cut.
This piece is based around the idea of the beauty and naturality of trans bodies! The flowers here are being used not to censor but instead draw attention to the aspects of our bodies that we are taught are shameful. Rather than hide the true nature of our bodies we should celebrate them!-in art, in life, in everything!
The flower theming works together with them being animals here (because it’s self indulgent <3 ) to highlight the concept of what "natural" means. Since they’re in the natural state of nudeness, but also are in touch with aspects of nature themselves!
ALT version of the line art:
I also think I really popped off with my composition here! Anyway, erotic queer furry art will save the world. <3

Chapter two is up!
Listen, 'from dusk till dawn' and 'bleeding for you' were meant for day 3 and 4 of @vashwood-week respective but they are so long! And i hate 10k words pushed in one chapter... which is why bleeding for you now also needs two days so from dusk till dawn had to move up. so the promts fit kinda vaguely but i guess mercy still goes for that one.
Anyway enjoy some wolfwood angst before it gets better.
