The Fullfelt Alchemist

Laura's first appearance in any media was on August 2, 2003, in Season 3 of X-Men: Evolution.

This year marks the 23rd anniversary of her debut and therefore the 23rd anniversary of her existence in our lives.

Even though we all know she has long since rejected the name X-23 and would probably hate the idea of celebrating her birthday, the opportunity is simply too good to pass up.

To properly celebrate this incredible character, I'd like to organize a week dedicated to her, running from July 27 to August 2, 2026.

I've prepared seven prompts inspired by Laura, one for each day of the week.

On the corresponding day, simply share your creations. Fanart, Fanfiction, Edits, Playlists, you can use any way you'd like to express your love for Laura!

Be sure to tag your posts with #23YearsOfX23 or #23YearsOfLauraKinney so everyone can find and enjoy them! All participants works will be reblogged on this Tumblr throughout the event.

Monday, July 27: Blood

Tuesday, July 28: Evolution

Wednesday, July 29: Scent

Thursday, July 30: Daughter

Friday, July 31: Hero

Saturday, August 1: Quiet

Sunday, August 2: Name

Alternate Prompts (free to switch with any other prompt):

Alt 1 : Birthday

Alt 2 : Experiment

Alt 3 : Relationship

The rules :

i've been asked where/how to find early-mid 20th century images of black people to reference when drawing/writing/whatever, so i figured i'd link to my own personal resource anyone is welcome to utilize! :)

with over 900 pins and counting, this pinterest board focuses entirely on black style from the 1800s - 1970s. it’s been harder than ever to research historical fashion without running into AI, misinformation, and flat out mislabeling of different eras, so i’ve done my best to represent each period as accurately as i can.

i’ve included sections for non-caricatured art and illustration, print media, music, entertainment, styling tools, and ads. there are also sections for period pieces and more modern takes on vintage style. i did not add the 80s and 90s because there's already a wealth of imagery and information about those decades, but maybe one day :)

This is the world capitalists want to return to.

Happy Pride month again!! Here is another butch4butch romy doodle 💖💗

I feel like I barely had a chance to participate in Romy Con this year but the little bit I did was super fun! Already looking forward to the 2027 Romy Con!

One of the events I did get a chance to join in on was the quick challenge where participants had a few days to draw or write something based on the given prompt. This year the theme was "I love you too much to die twice."

I couldn't resist such a perfect angst prompt. I drew a quick drawing on the first day but I didn't love it. So the next morning I started on the drawing I really wanted to do but feared I wouldn't have time for (of course a stained glass piece). Somehow everything fell into place and I really enjoyed taking the time to fine-tune it (so thankful for amazing friends and my sister for giving me feedback/fresh perspective!). I love it in all its angsty glory.

I tried to leave it slightly open for interpretation. I would be really curious to hear people's thoughts on the "story" behind the drawing if anyone feels like sharing.

Thanks for the fun challenge Romy Con ( @punkerduckiememes ). It's such fun to see what everyone comes up with. Similar to Rogue Gambit Week it forces me to create within the confines of a prompt.
