Ship week for Ash and Gou!!

So, today is the day that Satogou Week 2025 starts - Well, it might already be December 2nd for some of you, but never mind that!

However, I don't think it would be a good idea for me to make brand new prompts for this year. Last year I left it up to a poll, but even though it was decided that I'd make new ones, few people contributed.

So, this year, why don't we look back on Satogou Weeks past and work on some of the prompts that didn't get anything made for them? It'll probably be easier for everyone! And to make things extra convenient, I'm also officially extending the duration from a week to the entire month! (Considering I DID announce this pretty late...)

I'll list off all the prompts from the last two years, crossing out the ones that haven't been filled out yet (but hey, if you still want to make something for them this year, goh ahead!)

As always, we accept drawings, picture collages, fanfics, tribute videos, and anything else that reminds us of the boys! While you don't HAVE to follow the prompts, it's appreciated, I did work on hard on coming up with them after all! But whatever you make, remember to tag it with #SatogouMonth2025 and we'll reblog it here!

(Prompts in the rest of the post)

Ignore the embed image, Discord is having a problem with that :(

The Satogou Server completed its five-year anniversary earlier this month. I couldn't participate due to my mental state, but I will hopefully be active again soon

While I'm at it, I would like to share links to other servers you guys might enjoy:

Surprise, it's here! ...I know I said I'd get it done earlier than this, but executive dysfunction, and stuff...

Anyway, here are the prompts, with accompanying quotes for further inspiration. Remember, this is for December 1 to 7, but delaying is fine!

Day 1) Motion / "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." Day 2) Honor / "I promise to honor and respect you. To love you for who you are and the way you are." Day 3) Rivals / "No rival will steal away my sure love; that glory will be my gray hair." Day 4) Puzzle / "Pieces of a puzzle can be repositioned and moved, replaced and swapped out, but the puzzle will never be whole again." Day 5) Disaster / "Dread of disaster makes everybody act in the very way that increases the disaster." Day 6) Grief / "What is grief, if not love persevering?" Day 7) Eternity / "We are two odd, lonely children, reaching for eternity."

You are free to take inspiration from the prompts, the quotes, or... neither! Just be there! Make art or write, or edit something, anything goes!

Hey, you guys! Two months from now, Satogou Week is happening again, so now I have a question in my head... Should I just repost the prompts from last year so people can fill out the ones they missed? Or come up with completely new prompts? 2023 was the first time I ran Satogou Week, and due to my inexperience, there was little engagement. But I don't know if I want to sacrifice the prompts I made last year just because it's a new year! I was so proud of them!

So I leave it up to you - do you want to catch up with Satogou Week 2023's prompts this year? Or try to work on some new ones (to be decided later)?

Our friend VJuniorVasquez, of AO3 fame, made this short little Christmas fic and let me share it here to represent the Christmas prompt! :D

(Idk why the invite banner looks different from the actual server banner, it's supposed to look like this:)

Hello, everyone! The Satogou Week tumblr is back again this year!

As you know, Satogou Week runs from December 1 to December 7th... buuut, don't worry if you run out of time and post later in the month! What's important is having fun as a community!

Prompts:

Day 1) Letter / "more than kisses, letters mingle souls." Day 2) Ghost / "The ghosts you chase, you never catch." Day 3) Rainbow / "the greater your storm, the brighter your rainbow." Day 4) Birthday / "Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears." Day 5) Double date / "Here's to love and friendship, all on one date night." Day 6) Christmas / "The glitter and glow bring the memories of long ago." Day 7) Paldea / "There is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon."

Remember, these are just suggestions - feel free to do them in any order, or do only some, or combine them, or even make up some prompts of your own!

And if you do make something, please tag it as #satogouweek2023 so I can repost it here! Any contribution, from fanarts, fanfics to edits, is welcome! Ash and Goh are waiting for you!

Who would be interested in participating in a SatoGou Big Bang?

For those who are curious, big bangs (or bang for short) are fandom events where artists and writers collaborate to release a "big bang" of content all at once!

I'm currently hosting an interest check to see how may people want to participate as well as word count and technical stuff like that!
