I’m Living In The Now And One Day I Will Die

You are missed every year even more <3

this is that (loosely) arthropleura-inspired ptolemy i promised!! :D ended up being too fond of his fluffy worm look to go full arthropleura but i did add hard plates along the back inspired by it plus msak bc i had to pair them up... fuck these guys were fun to draw i guess i gotta draw them more now . @ ptolsak please don't explode in the meantime

oh yeah babyyy it's done at long last 😎

personal ramblings below the cut

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2026!

Can you believe this is the fourth year we've been doing this?! And still going strong! I can't wait to see all the cool stuff everyone makes this year!

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while we recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you’re keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept “PG-13” so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit’s day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. Keep an eye on the blog for our daily posts announcing the rollover! 4. Traced or stolen work is NOT welcome. If we discover you have posted traced or stolen work, you will be given one chance to delete it and apologize, or you will be blacklisted from the blog. AI-generated/assisted pieces are similarly unwelcome and will not be featured on the blog. 5. We are not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills, and will not be reblogging posts where this happens. We’re all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves. 6. Technically not a rule, but we strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text - it’s pretty easy!

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined last season! And because challenges are fun! And because we are AGAIN out here for a good cause: we’re running another fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring incentives from seven incredible artists! Learn more about our featured artists here.

WHO’S RUNNING THIS? Hi! My name is Luna! You can use ze/hir, she/her, he/him, or ro/ros/roseself pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal. I have three additional amazing mods helping me out this year as well: Sky ( @skyspersonalhell ), who uses any pronouns, Ducks ( @a-suspicious-number-of-ducks ), who uses she/her pronouns, and Rel ( @relgnira ), who also uses she/her pronouns!

I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY TO PAY YOUR FEATURED ARTISTS AND GET COOL RAFFLE ITEMS FOR FUTURE EVENTS. IS THERE A WAY I CAN DO THAT? MAYBE A WAY THAT INVOLVES GETTING COOL STICKERS OF THE HERMITS? Wow, what a specific and relevant question! You can buy sticker sheets here! All proceeds go toward the betterment of the event - and, if I may say so myself, our artists did a pretty good job on these stickers.
