@freebooter4ever Okay, I tried to answer this a couple days ago but the electricity/internet has been very unreliable.

Anyway! Nobody was doing it like Lisa Frank! Who wouldn’t want to bare their soul inside a postage-stamp-size notebook with a rainbow spotted lion seal pub swimming in a rainbow coral reef on the cover?? She just GETS IT.

Technically I do have requests closed for the Pacific...but I love that song, and you, my friend, so I can make some Sledgefu happen! It’s short, but I hope you like it, and thank you for sending in a request for the song title request meme!!! 

Red Right Hand Holding Dress Blues is below the cut!

A little something, where Sledge and Snafu find themselves working to come to terms with one of the wider reaching effects of the war, their part in it, and what it means for them  as the future rises to meet them.

My love to all who read/like/reblog!

tldr, i spent two months using all my free time to write and putting off my own personal projects to write within the prompts and now you're saying my work doesnt count if it isnt finished by a certain date? I am seriously not impressed by this.

(since you’ve messaged me one on one about this, i feel like i don’t completely need to post this but i will for posterity and for other people who may be wondering. i haven’t edited my original message at all despite our conversation in my DMs)

hi!! thank you for sending us a message, and i’m sorry that some of the ways in which we chose to do this year’s ship week were frustrating -- this is how we’ve done things for the past couple years, and it’s worked so far, but sledgefu week continues to grow and it’s only the two of us, there’s really no way for us to know how to adjust for next year’s ship week until the current one is over! so thank you for your feedback. there’s always tweaks that need to be made for sure, and if it happens again next year the time zone thing is definitely something to look at. however, we did have a twenty-four hour window for everybody to submit stuff, which felt completely fair but maybe we need to have a better look at that for next year. it’s just lea and i running this week, and we’re both in a similar time zone so it’s really difficult to try and plan around every zone there is. that’s no excuse, just trying to be open about it!

in terms of the late submissions thing: i can completely see where you’re coming from. as i mentioned, sledgefu week grows each year and the guidelines we use have to change with it, so i see no harm in reblogging later submissions. i’m sorry that you’ve felt frustrated and that the way we’re doing things is unfair, i’d just really like to say that this is a small ship week for a small fandom, (or at least, it used to be very small, haha! this has been a really big sledgefu week this year) and we’re all still just muddling through trying to work out what’s best. we don’t do things to be cruel or unfair, there just have to be some rules to make it a special yearly event and to make it different to fanart or fic that’s posted for the rest of the year. part of the challenge and the fun of a ship week event is to see what you can do by the deadline! we never intended to make it feel like a stressful experience, it’s just simply the nature of a ship week. it also feels a little unfair to those who worked (just as you have! i know it’s not always feasible, of course, especially with everything going on in the world at the moment) to make the deadline if we’re reblogging things very very far down the line. we all worked hard, we all put off personal projects and used all our free time to write. there was a clear deadline from the very beginning, and one that even got pushed back by a month because lea and i were very aware of the pressures of both lockdown/quarantine and the protests that were happening at the time. i hope you can see where i’m coming from with this, just as i can see where you’re coming from too. 

thinking that an extra week for late submissions would be enough was my mistake, i didn’t think to take into account where others might be in their timeline -- i answered that ask last night before bed, and didn’t think it over, and i’m sorry for that! would the rest of august be a better stretch of time? 

Wait is this new hanzo or a copy character??????

the bottom one is the newest league of legends character, yone, in his past/pre-death human form, and it's a real strange situation where like... technically yasuo and yone existed way before overwatch and thus genji and hanzo in the lol lore, sharing very similar storylines --  except as I understand it yone didn’t have a canon visual design until pretty recently, after the release of overwatch. so I’ve seen some intense shouting back and forth between the fandoms about who, exactly, is ripping off who here and it’s very funny to watch hahaha
