Love Salesman

Everyone attends only their own family's dinner, everyone brings back leftovers, and together you create another Thanksgiving meal the next day by pooling this new resource.

Pros:

They don't have to meet your shitty family

You don't have to meet their shitty families

Still introduce your partner(s) to your favorite traditional dish (via leftovers)

Free dinner party with the whole polycule

Don't have to out yourself or dance around who you're dating if you don't bring anyone!

No partner is omitted! You're treating them all exactly the same

Cons:

in the rare case your family is actually amazing, this may not be the best plan for you and you may actually want your partner(s) to meet your family

The Polyamships discord server (invite here) is happy to invite you to Polyartober. Inspired by Inktober, but for polyamory, Polyartober brings you 31 daily prompts (+ 10 alt prompts) for October to get you in the creative flow to make more art.

Polyartober rules

1) Make a drawing* of your polyam ship (it doesn’t have to be in ink. Stick figures welcome. Not all characters have to be in the drawing, but the subject of the drawing must be polyam in nature) 2) Post it** 3) Hashtag it with #polyartober and #polyartober24. You can also mention us @polyamships to make sure we see it. 4) Repeat

*So you want to write instead of draw? We created this event focused on artists, but if you feel inspired, please go ahead and create something else: writing, gifs, moodboards, meta, etc. The most important rule is to make it polyam and have fun!

**Please post your work mentioning the fandom and characters somewhere in the post so we can tag it appropriately. Use the character’s name as it appears in canon (this may mean Lastname Firstname for some fandoms) - if they only have a 1 word name please put the fandom in brackets after it e.g. Parker (Leverage).

Feel free to combine this event with any other events that allow it such as whumptober, lyrical titles bingo, ficathons, etc. for an extra challenge.

Please note that since we’ll be running this month-long event, there won’t be a PolyamShippingDay prompt on the 14th October. We’ll be back in November with our regular PSD posting :)

Now we're also on X/Twitter @ polyamships

Tell our partner I love the way they look today for me @eliasdreamer 💙💖🖤 (and then tell yourself too, from me)

20 of my OG partners (11%) confirmed we're still dating 💙💖🖤 my beloveds 😍

2 of my OG partners (1%) broke up with me 😭😭😭What did I do??? Please, baby, give me another chance, I didn't mean it! 💔😞

3 people who were originally not dating me have started ❣️💌Hello, goregouses, welcome aboard!!!🥰 Glad you came to your senses 😉

5 of the people originally not dating me are still not dating me. I don't understand you people, because I'm perfect, but I respect you 🤝 Carry on

135 NEW people have started dating me!! 👋🥰 I got you all chocolates! 💝🍫 Does Monday work for our date?😚

32 NEW people aren't interested. Once again, I'm doing everything right, and you guys should get better taste. But also I'm just teasing, no disrespect. I'm glad we can still be tumblrinas together 🙂

This means that:

~88% of my original partners have not weighed in. Loves, where are you? Is everything okay? 🥺

Assuming no news is good news for those folks (I deserve at least a break up text!) 180-2+3+135=316

@ny-xbloom I tried my best.

I also can't think of a creative way to complete the back of the card hehe. I still hope you will enjoy it!
