Sickos selection is back!

Over 900 pages and 100k words of filthy art, comics and fiction for $25. The last edition of this bundle raised $58k, all split equally by the artists with no publisher’s cut or middleman. Sale runs until June 5th – and then it’s gone! Past editions have covered people’s rent, medical bills, moving costs and other emergency expenses, and it's an incredible way to show direct support to adult creators in the face of deplatforming and deindexing.

Look at this LINEUP:

apologies for the delay in getting out the prompts formatted nicely, life was life'ing you know how it is, but theyre here! in a nice list and everything!

now, for the good part, last year we had a lot of people just doin' whatever, and to be frank yeah i really fucked with that energy even if it was a byproduct of the event being rushed. so that said, if forever reason you cannot follow the prompts due to limitations of media being used (drawing, analysis, crochet, graphical edits, video edits, poetry, moodboards, etc), just go for it! please make sure to tag us in the posts though even if they arent following the prompts, we do wanna get everything in one place!

the Ao3 collection is gonna be made tonight, so we'll probably edit this post to include the link or make a freshie post for it in itself

that said, happy creating! hope the preamble downtime to create beforehand is helpful, and i hope that everyone who wants to is able to make something for this event regardless of what it is!

plain text/image id under cut!

ladies, gents, and everyone in between or outside of those parameters, we are back again for 2026, this time kickin' off the announcement a little bit sooner. after last years outstanding support and excitement for this event, we've decided to run it again! the planning is just about all the same as last year too, no big surprises about it.

and, as always, a little bit about your host. hi! we're Mito/Rev, our pronouns are ve/1t, and technically we're the same guy running it as last year but with a sprinkling of turns out theres more than one of us. we're collectively aromantic with some variance in how the lot of us experience our non-ace aro'ness.

schedule

prompt submission: May 1st to May 10th prompt voting: May 11th to May 17th prompts posted: May 18th (probably won't have fancy formatting) downtime to pre-create: May 18th to May 31st posting week: June 1st to 7th

guidelines

1: anyone can participate! whether you're non-ace aro, aroace, alloace, or alloallo, you can participate! just keep the works focused on aromanticism without the asexuality, yeah?

2: please tag your works properly! nsfw and dead dove creations are allowed and welcomed, but it'd be nice if ya tagged 'em

3: don’t worry about posting “late”! i’ll be scrolling around for things posted late through all of June, aim for posting during the week but it’s okay if ya don’t. however, if you do post late please tag the blog* to ensure we see it!

4: any fandoms** and any “ships” are allowed! this is a multifandom event, and, truthfully, the more the merrier and all that jazz!

5: most importantly, have fun with it!

aaaaaaaand, yep, that brings this post to a close!

all in all, we continue to hope that this event brings the non-ace aro community a little closer together, raises awareness of non-ace aro experiences in fandom, and most importantly, that everyone has fun with this event

this post is inspired in part by this one by @cheshirepirouette and sponsored in part by convos w @asteriis and @indouscurse here’s to y’all!! this post also goes out to my brothers, who are pale as hell for reasons unbeknownst to all of us (this is a joke).

like any good headcanon, this started as a joke because i thought to myself: Ryland sounds like the type of name that somebody’s Black child would have and only use on church sundays. nobody actually has ever called him that in his whole entire life, except maybe his mama SOMETIMES and that’s why he doesn’t remember it right away. i feel like every Black person knows somebody who is called literally anything except their god given name. people call him lil r, lil grace, gracie, ry, ryry, riri, RG, lando, mr. grace, dr. grace, but nobody calls him Ryland, which is part of why he Can’t Remember for so long.

so of course i went back to the source material to see if he ever actually mentioned being white anywhere and unfortunately it is very much at the beginning of the book. so THEN i started to think about how i could get around that while remaining at least largely canon compliant (as a little treat for myself). what i came up with is what i have affectionately dubbed my “litebrite baby” headcanon.
