HeyManatee Writes

Remember that one post where I was talking about a Curt/ Val (& Peter) choking fic?

It's not really working out, but here's a little of what I've got so far...

CW: tentacles, deep deep throating, mentions of struggling to breathe,

(18+) NSFT below the cut (18+)

CW: afterglow, voyeurism

(18+) NSFT below the cut (18+)

Days, weeks, whatever later, they're cuddling on the couch and his mind is clearly on what he watched that night, because he blurts those words out and Curt eventually goes "well, I did promise you could watch next time..."

(just some sketchy notes, so there's no real CW here... uh, tentacles, mostly, tongues in places they usually aren't, and some dubcon, I guess? More lack of clear communication than dubcon, honestly)

(18+) NSFT below the cut (18+)

The way it'd take him a little time to adjust before he can smoothly match Val's movements.

The knowledge that it's a sheath for him, but a full tentacle that continues to reach deeper than he can for Curt.

The overwhelming look of absolute pity Curt gave him immediately made Eddie want to crawl into a hole and bury himself alive.

"I know," Curt said in his infinitely gentle tone. "And that's generous of you, Eddie, but I would rather have you present with me in those moments than enjoy them on my own."

And that was the problem, wasn't it? Eddie didn't want to be present -- he didn't want to have to think about what was happening or how it made him feel or worry what it meant if when he liked it...

Sometimes, shit happened. Hell, it happened all the time for so many different reasons. People were tired, they made mistakes, they were confused, it was an accident, mixed signals; whatever. It was easier to accept that and ride it out until it was over, than be a part of it. If something happened to him, well, that was one thing... he could excuse it all away if it ever came to light, blame it on his drinking...

But being complicit?

It has 30 prompts for November but feel free to write and post whenever, but please add the tag #No one nuts November or #NoonenutsNovember wherever you post. You do not have to @ or credit this blog if you use any of these prompts.

(Text version under the cut)

Thank you for everyone's patience, I hope everyone who wanted to join found the new blog! It's time to share this year's prompts!

(Drumroll, please!)

On this blog, we won't reblog submissions, only use it to post prompts, tags, useful info and of course to answer any questions you might have.

We will post the tag for each day, and we ask that you use two tags when filling prompts this year so that others may find your creations easily: 

Tag 1 —> #wij26day__ (Fill in the blank with the appropriate day number for the prompt you are filling! For example, if you are doing the prompt for day 21, make sure to tag your post with #wij26day21.)

Tag 2 —> #whumpmasinjuly2026

Be sure to also tag @whumpmasinjuly-archive if you would like your posts reblogged to our official archive account! Of course, feel free to use any other relevant tags too!

You can also find a banner that you can use in your posts (if you want, not required) under the #wijbanner tag.

The prompts are divided into three categories: community (white boxes), question (red boxes), and creation (green boxes). Everyone is free to participate as much or as little as they want–there’s no completionist requirement!

This calendar provides a preview of the prompts, but on each day a more detailed post will be released with more context and additional suggestions for each day’s task. Similar to previous years, all prompts and other important information will be found on @whumpmasinjuly under the #infowhumpmasinjuly tag for ease of access, or here under #wij26day0.

This blog will also use the tags #wijquestion , #wijcommunity , and #wijcreation respectively for each post so that you can filter and find the type of prompts you’d like to do. 

Below the cut you can read the whole list of the prompts for this event:

[ID: Text in the center says Polyam Shipping Day, 14th of every month, July 2026 - Desert. Below Polyam Shipping, and to the left of Day, is a red infinity sign that finishes in a heart on top. Surrounding the text are rows of stylized hearts in the colors of both versions of the polyam pride flag (black, red, bright blue, light green, dark green, light blue, navy). /end ID]

July 14th 2026 is our 57th Polyam Shipping Day!

For this month, our optional prompt is ☀️Desert 🏜️

Desert could be a location, for adventure, on a quest, of exile or a home, and they aren't just sandy terrain, they can be tundra or polar deserts too. This could be someone stranded on a desert island or talking about it theoretically, what would they do to survive on one or what (or who?) to take with them like on Desert Island Discs. Desert could also be about being deserted by someone whether briefly or permanently, or deserting from a role, like in a war.

As per usual, you’re welcome to create for any of our previous prompts as well!

–

We’ll be tracking #PolyamShippingDay, and keeping an eye out for any @polyamships mentions too. We will reblog any polyam-positive fanworks featuring polyamorous ships of any configuration/type from any fandom. All ratings are welcome but anything nsfw/triggery should be warned for and behind a read more, as should very long tumblr fic.

You can also submit works directly to the blog or send us asks to let us know to check your blog for a post. If you’re posting on AO3, our collection name is ‘PolyamShippingDay‘ and you can post to the collection here. Only fanworks submitted/@ us on tumblr or in the official AO3 collection, or fanworks posted to our Dreamwidth community, are guaranteed to be included in our roundup. Please also let us know what prompt you created for, if any - people are always welcome to create for past prompts instead.

We have a Discord - invite here - if you want a place to chat about your ships or what you’re creating for them. We also have a Bluesky account if you would like to post any works there (although we cannot guarantee they’ll be on the tumblr roundup, we’ll definitely share them on the Bluesky account.)

For the fourth year in a row now, it's time for Small Fandom Summer! Join me for Small Fandom Summer! It's real easy to play:

Make a fanwork for something that has fewer than 1000 English-language works on AO3

Post it to AO3

And then you've done it! You've made a thing and you've diversified the fandom ecosystem! You're basically a hero.

Q: The fandom I want to create for has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but the specific pairing I want to write for has fewer than that. Does that count? A: Yes! Q: What if it has more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but, like, just barely? A: Okay! Q: What if it actually has a lot more than 1000 English-language works on AO3, but it still feels small? A: Sure! Q: What if I don't want to post it to AO3? What if I don't even have an AO3 account? Can I post it somewhere else? A: Wherever! Q: What if-- A: Just do a thing, friend. Make a thing. Share the thing. This is not meant to be restrictive; this is meant to be inspirational. Create the fanworks you want to see in the world. Make a stranger happy by appealing to their niche interests. Bring joy.

And if you want to give yourself some silly little Steam-like achievement badges to commemorate your accomplishments, well, you're in luck! I've made a bunch of them right here! You can grab the ones that apply to your work and paste them wherever you like and feel good about what you've done. Here's a few of my favorites:

So you see? This is meant to be silly and fun.

There's nowhere to sign up. There's nothing to commit to. There's zero pressure. You just do it if you do it, and don't if you don't. But if you do want to play (yay!), tag your stuff with #small fandom summer so we can all swoop in and appreciate everyone else's efforts.
