Some notes:

1) Posting will occur between August 7th and August 9th!

2) If you want your piece to be queued earlier than that, send it to me via the ask box! I recommend that you keep your descriptions short and simple, that way we can focus on your hard work!

3) If you want your work to be front and center (instead of constricted to my asks, completely valid), you can always post it yourself and then just send it to me/tag me! If you still want your piece to queued, then I ask that you at least wait until the week of the event, and then send it so I can queue it.

4) if you want to write a story! That's fine! Same rules apply- ideally, put it under a readmore, or give us a link and a summary. You know, let the story entice us some lmao.

5) yes, any form of art counts (gifs, yarn items, dolls, whatever) as long as the character involved is 1) Black, Black-coded, or a Black edit and 2) it's respectfully done. That's all!

Also, I’m imagining a scene:

Tenna art by @9Aaaalt29 on twt

“Recency bias” tenna’s chapter came out last year (pretty sure since i read and watched dunmeshi in January 2025 and i played tenna’s chapter in the summer of that year) , dr grace’s movie came out this year I think and dungeon meshi s1 finished around June 2024. In addition deltarune had a new chapter like June or July, so that applies even more “recency bias” to Tenna. If it’s because of the s2 announcement— no more dungeon meshi for another 440 days and I have been in the fandom the whole time and the announcement doesn’t seem to have awakened it much. I’m surprised with how quiet the fandom has been for a while that senshi is doing so well haha

So…. Yeah, recency bias would apply more to tenna and dr grace than senshi. Vote senshi

Below is the tags I was responding to lol

A lot of Zelda today, what can I say, I love her.

Ah yes, my favorite Deltarune character, Senshi

I think the Sexyman polls have had much larger impact than initially thought XD

And with that amazing segue,

GO VOTE SENSHI IN THE TUMBLR SEXYMAN FINALS!!!

Listen, guys. This man can cook. He'll make you bread. He genuinely cares about your wellbeing and will make dang sure you take care of yourself. Plus he might've eaten a guy once. Dunno if that's important, but he did.

Anyway, VOTE SENSHI AND GO WATCH DUNGEON MESHI
