Hello hello all!

I hope everyone has been having a good holiday season so far, and that you’re enjoying your time off from school or work and enjoying your F/Os in whatever capacity.

I wanna start off by saying thanks so much to everyone for being patient while I worked through my inbox. It’s not completely empty but now it is much more manageable so I feel good opening it again! I can’t wait to see new requests and be able to write more for everyone who enjoys them. It’s been super rewarding for me to see how happy my silly little blog makes everyone!

Now for the other announcement ૮ - ﻌ • ა𐂯 .ᐟ⸝⸝

Another part of why I had to close the letter requests was because I’ve been dealing with some irl stuff that’s become more urgent than I would like it to be. Long story short I have to move out from where I’m staying in a hurry, and I don’t really have the funds to do so nor do I have a place lined up atm. So after doing some thinking and talking with some friends, I figured it might be a good idea to open up some commissions on my Kofi!

The post will always be a free service, but if you want to contribute to my moving and getting a roof over my head, you can get a more personalized PDF of your letter request decorated and sent directly to you! This is going to be a $5 option, and if you want one I’ll be opening up some slots come January! You can see some of those examples here! which I'll be adding to as I do more.

I’ll work on getting that set up over the holiday weekend so it can go directly through Kofi.

I’ll also be offering Fic commissions, which I am definitely better at than graphic design. More details on those to come later, for now thank you all for supporting me so far, and I can’t wait to keep writing for you!

wanted to say that due to life circumstances and general burn out, i'm going on hiatus. i hope to come back, but my heart and mind aren't in it to try right now. i hope all of you continue to stay healthy and happy!

hellooooo everyone! tis i, tumblr user @vintricles, the operator of this blog. i am here to announce that i will no longer be posting or answering asks in character on this account, although the blog will remain up as an archive of sorts, and i’ll still be keeping an eye on things in case people have any questions or want to be friends :)

i’ve made this decision because. well. this is no longer compliant to my thoughts on settings, and i was kind of just winging it when i started it. so. like. yeah.

i’ll probably make a new settings/432 blog at some point, and when that happens, i’ll say so here! thanks everyone for a great time, it was lots of fun and i hope you’ll join me soon for another round of tomfoolery :)

I'm back from my summer break! You can expect a big batch of slimes on monday (10th of August)! The time is still unknown, but I'll update ya'll on it a few hours before posting.

The slimes will be first come first serve, as there's gonna be maaaaaany of them

Thank you all so much for your patience!

Now a little update about this blog:

I won't be able to sustain this forever. Most likely, I'll do a few more batches and then another big one as my last one. That won't be for a few months, but I will give an update on it later! (Yeaaahhh busy college year ahead, but my first 2 months are easier. After that I won't have time)

It's that time again, pokeshippers!

Last year, we announced that the format of Pokeshipping Week - one theme per day - was getting retired. We also said that we'd still put on a celebration of some kind going forward. Well, the time is here, and I'm happy to announce that we are planning a pokeshipping zine...next year!

If you'll forgive the bait-and-switch there, we have seriously talked about doing a zine, but time got away from us this summer. So, while we do hope to tackle that undertaking in 2025, for this year, we're planning what you might call an open Pokeshipping Week!

How does it work, you ask? Simple: over the years, you all have submitted a lot of potential themes for Pokeshipping Week. For every seven that got chosen each year, plenty were left behind. Well, now you can fill November 1 to 7 with art, fics, AMVs, GIFs, graphics, etc., all about our favorite Poke-couple, using any seven you'd like from the unused themes list.

Any and all contributions are welcome, and if they're tagged #pokeshipping week 2024, we'll reblog them here and on the main @pokeshipping blog. Besides Tumblr, we’ll keep our eyes out for the tag on Twitter and DeviantART for artwork, for fanfics on FF.Net and AO3, and for AMVs on YouTube (no NSFW, please).

The full list of unused themes (from years 2020 through 2023) is below the "Read More" break. Use, combine, and create as your heart desires, and we'll see you November 1!
