Lady Cassia for #character_week RT

Like I completely get it. I came up in fandoms where I saw why that norm was established. But idk man this feels like such a different context. If the entire cast of romanceables is attracted to every gender you can’t really say that’s thoughtfully representative writing, you know, without there being some eyebrow raising implications about what the writers think of other identities. I think it’s quite a bit less problematic and explicable for the justification to be “playsexual is most popular with our audience” than “suddenly, no one wants to write gay people or lesbians.”

Do you love Orin the Red? Then join us from the 9th - 15th November for Orin Week, a celebration of all things Orin! (And if you don't love Orin, get on that right now!)

Orin Week will run on both tumblr and bluesky and is an opportunity to make and share all kinds of Orin creations, be that fic, art, virtual photography, meta, headcanons or anything else. I'll be sharing a list of daily prompts in the weeks before the event, but don't feel you have to follow them - we want to celebrate any work focused on Orin!

Any kind of content is allowed - no dove is too dead for Orin the Red, (though please try to include warnings, use the cut, etc, if you think you're making particularly sensitive content). And conversely, if you want to make some tooth-rotting fluff of Orin abandoning murder to pet puppies, that's okay too! OCs are welcome - whether custom Dark Urges, Tavs, or anyone else you want Orin to interact with.

Please tag your creations with #OrinWeek so we're able to reblog them, here or on BlueSky (and please make allowances for the fact that your mod is only slowly learning how BlueSky actually works!) Many thanks to @meadowbone for making me an Orin Week feed over there, which you can find here:

I'll also be making a collection on AO3 that people are welcome to put their creations into there too!

Might make 'buff women wearing dresses and rage" a miniseries at this point, im having a lot of fun experimenting with this style :>

process under cut!
