#box's lockbox

today is the last official day of youson week 2025!! i wanna say, thank you guys so much for participating in this fun little challenge with me.

i've really seen some awesome work, both writing and art, and watching y'all interact with eachother and get to know eachother was such a blast. i'm glad this could bring y'all together!

this community truly has some of the kindest people i've met on this site - and for me, you guys make it so much easier to be myself.

a special thanks and shoutout to @previouslyalert for going out of their way to write and draw other peoples' ships, @unpopulargoose, who despite not selfshipping with wilson took this challenge as an opportunity to lift Wattson up, @roseate-science for doing two of every prompt (with waiteson and megawil respectively! y'all know how i feel about crossover ships >:3), everyone that knew where their limits were and dropped out early (THANK YOU for participating as long as you did!!!), and everyone who was patient enough to send me an ask saying i missed a post 😭 SORRY LMAO

uber eats stole 40 fucking dollars in fees from me when i tried to cancel an incorrect order, and i need the money to get rides to work until my tire replacement gets here.

i'm currently at 3.09, which is not great!

update!!! i am completely fine now, HOWEVER i'm thinking about keeping these kinds of comms around, so if you'd like one contact me :)

examples below - they can be colored but they will not be shaded! here's my $app and my ko-fi!

($app is preferred heavily because the money hits instantly, whereas ko-fi has about a week and a half turnaround)
