For day 2 of Kakairu Valentine's Week 2026! Prompt is 'Forbidden Love' @kakairu-rocks

They're here! Just in time for Sakura's birthday, our lovely mod @artofmintea has provided us with graphics to announce the prompts for Sapphic Sakura Week 2026!

Rules below the cut:

『Itachi Week 2026 - Prompts』

Unlike last year, Itachi Week 2026 will be using a prompt bingo! Like always, our prompts merely serve to inspire, and you are free to reimagine, combine or ignore them, should your creativity take you down a different road entirely. If you do use our prompts, however, it'd be appreciated if you could mention them somewhere in your post.

Once the week is in progress, you can use this post to look for submissions pertaining to specific prompts. Please be aware that some tags will also give results from previous Itachi weeks.

Brotherhood Edo Tensei Eyes Warring States AU Healing

Modern AU ANBU I Will Love You Always Akatsuki Sweet Tooth

Sickness Prodigy Itachi's Birthday Nerd

Death Itachi Lives AU Suffering Blindness Homesick

Time Travel Captured Uchiha Clan Farewell Comfort

Prompts have been released into the wild and creation time starts now!

Posting will be between 19 - 26 July.

As a reminder, pretty much everything goes, so long as it's not Al-generated. Fics, Art, gif sets, headcanons, oneshots, blurbs, feel free to do whatever your heart desires!

There's an alt image description with the written version of the prompts, but I will also include them in the cut below.

As always, any questions please drop us a message!

Happy Kisa creating ✨

my love to all nonbinary people who are also intersex and have a mix of sexual characteristics that actually affirms their gender and therefore are 'non-transitioning' (in the eyes of exorsexists who don't understand the concept of social transition or nonbinary/genderfluid-specific transition) but are still very much subject to all The Horrors of being visibly intersex/nonbinary

I'm sorry some people apparently think being 'non-transitioning' (as in: not pursuing medical transition, which is perceived by bigots within the community as the only REAL transition) protects you from hatred and dysphoria, and don't make space for extremely vulnerable people like you in their theorising.

my love to all nonbinary people. period.

Pay attention to what's on the first page of their website.

Are you immediately welcomed as a writer?

That's not always a good sign.

It might be that the press is new and still building its list of authors, so it has more to say about submissions than about the books it's published. That's not awful, but not awesome either (you may prefer to wait and let them make their beginner's mistakes on someone else's book. If the publisher finds its footing, you can always submit to them in a year or two!). Or maybe they just recently opened a new call to submissions and have that prominently announced. That's fine, but also look at when and where they post about new book releases.

A publisher should have a website that appeals to readers - with descriptions of the kinds of books they do or will publish, and ways for readers to connect like a newsletter signup option and social media links. If they have already published books: how easily can readers buy them? What do the covers look like? Do the book descriptions have any obvious typos? Do multiple books or pages on the website have errors?

No matter how proud a publisher is of how they serve authors, the main job of a publisher is to get books into reader's hands. That shouldn't be an afterthought on the website. If it takes you a few clicks to find submission guidelines, that may be a good sign. If, along the way, you spot several books to add to your to-read list, that's a great sign.

If the website seems to be downright screaming "Please let us publish you!" watch out for a catch. They might not be a vanity press, but they could be. Search "[Publisher name] scam" or "[Publisher name] legitimate" or "[Publisher name] vanity" and see what comes up. Or the business might be completely legit, just with a poorly organized website. Suggesting they're not great at selling books. Still not a good sign.

Always check the Amazon listing (and other listings) of the books from a publisher you're considering. What do the reviews say? What are the sales ranks like? What formats are the books offered in, and at what price point? Do you like the covers? Do you like how the sample is formatted, and can you spot any errors in the editing or formatting?

Boyfriend: So does being an ant person

Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants

Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing….

Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!

Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.

Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)

Boyfriend: So these ant-people—

Drained water from places suffering from drought for absolute pennies.

Made African mothers dependent on their milk formula, which they gave for free, until their milk dried up. Then they required them to purchase it, mothers could not afford it, mixed in too little to fulfill nutrient needs, and mixed it with polluted water. Children died.

Used slavery to produce their cocoa.

Pushed for water to be considered a “want” not a “need” and is at the forefront of arguments that water is not a human right.

Poisoned Chinese infants with melamine in their milk formula.

Demanded Ethiopia pay a debt owed to Nestle, during a FAMINE.

Price-fixed food items.

Contributed to deforestation for their cocoa farming.

The worst thing is, Nestle owns TONS of other brands, making it difficult to avoid for certain products.
