I DONT GO HERE

To our beloved @serpent-sortia-ao3

To celebrate your big day, we put our heads together to organise something matrimonially relevant. The "Something Borrowed" collection is exactly that---we've borrowed something from you. And in this case, it's your Ao3 tags! We've all borrowed one of your tags, and written a wedding-themed fic to help you come down smoothly from so much organising and excitement. I told everyone to aim for short and sweet, and about half of us were able to follow instructions. Some of us…. not so much (self-shame). We are so happy for you, and we love you so much!

🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻 Read on Ao3 here 🪻🪻🪻🪻🪻

Huge thank you to achromatics  for these gorgeous graphics, and for the private sneak peek "Save the Date" video that Sortia received in her DMs on Friday to let her know we were thinking about her on her big day and that something was coming for her. Thank you as well to thornedhuntress for your help in setting up the collection so that it wasn't super duper obvious what we were doing, to wanderingfair for help with the theme, the organisation, and the invite pointing, and of course, to everyone who jumped at the chance to make our lovely girl feel special on her big day!

Congratulations beautiful!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!

At the Beach, In Every Life by AutumnWeen

Chapter 1 is live on AO3

Beautiful cover art by @anca.sketches on IG

I’ve been yapping about this fic for weeks and the first chapter is finally life.

I desperately wanted to read Jean and Mikasa’s love story and since I couldn’t find it, I wrote it myself.

This is my trying to make sense of the ending and everything that comes after is a way that it’s satisfying to me and I’m sharing it with any other JeanKasa fans who are craving the same 🫶🏽

Thank you to @slytheravenffics for beta reading this 🩷 you’re help was and is invaluable

Seen a bunch of them around and confused as to how everyone is really good at drawing/graphic design, or have just never thought about it and don't know where to start?

DON'T USE AI!

Generating one image through AI can use between 5 and 50 litres of water depending on complexity. (Edit: I would be remiss to not mention the impact that this has on artists too. AI models are trained on the stolen works of artists on the wider internet. If you're financially able, support your favourite artist by commissioning them to make you a profile pic!) So I wanted to offer some alternatives for those who may not know how else to create a cute, customised image to use as their fandom pfp. Thank you to my friends noxternal, neilistic, maidenrevenge and hwaetwegardena for sharing your links as well.

Here are SIXTEEN OPTIONS for cute profile pics that you can use instead.

NOTES

For consistency, I tried recreating my existing pfp except wearing a blue jumper, jeans, and socks. (Existing pfp made with #5). Where a blue jumper wasn't available, I used black.

Many of these have the option for plus size, male characters, a wide range of skin tones/black hairstyles, medical aids, and the option to cover hair/wear a hijab. Some don't. I've indicated one below that was great for diverse colours and styles, but I can't speak for what is 'good' because I don't know what will represent you. You may need to click through to check and see.
