All works must focus on Tamlin! This is a week about celebrating him, after all. He should be the central character and the focus of submissions.

We accept any types of submissions such as fanfiction, fanart, memes, edits, playlists, headcanons, moodboards, poetry and anything else!

AI is not permitted and will not be reblogged.

All ships welcome, as long as Tamlin is at the forefront. We encourage general and platonic works too.

Please tag your works appropriately. This includes NSFW, Mature, Explicit, potential triggers, etc. Please follow the rules of each platform. For example, on Tumblr, there are guidelines for NSFW images and on AO3, this requires the appropriate tags and ratings. That said, NSFW/Mature content is allowed.

New works must be created for the event. Chapter updates for existing works is acceptable too, as long as they're created/posted during the event. We already do our best to reblog existing works on this blog throughout the year, so we ask you to make something new for Tamlin Week!

Ship whatever you want—that’s what fandom is for.

But not all ships are built on the same narrative foundation.

When one dynamic is consistently developed on-page and another relies mostly on hypothetical future potential, treating them as equal isn’t really analysis—it’s preference.

And that’s fine. Preference is allowed.

But if you’re dismissing what’s clearly being set up in the text while insisting your version is just as supported, you’re no longer engaging with the story—you’re reshaping it.

A lot of the arguments for certain ships start with “I feel like they’d be better together” or “they have good banter” or “they balance each other.”

Banter exists between plenty of characters who are never romantic.

“Sunshine” dynamics get projected all the time.

And saying someone is “better” for a character doesn’t mean the story is building toward that.

But those are interpretations—not actual setup.

At that point, it might be worth stepping back from debates with people who are enjoying the text as written and speculating from what’s actually there.

Fandom was always meant to be fun—shipping included.

For @tamlinweek Day 4: Powers / Hair

This is about the power of healing. (definitely not me trying to find an excuse to post this today lmao I'm impatient) And I feel like it works well for the Hair prompt because I am so proud of Tamlin's fur eeeeeeee!

I loveee the idea of Elain going to Spring to help the court gardens and she finds Tamlin alone in his beast form. The flower growing between them is the echinacea flower, which symbolizes strength, health, and healing, as well as resilience and the ability to overcome challenges. Tamlin deserves a beautiful healing arc and I hope he finds people who can help him through one, including Elain and definitely his old friend Lucien ❤️‍🩹

Below the cut are some closeups!

Delicate and beautiful.

But being in the night court, she's withering away. Flowers can't thrive in the dark, they need a source that will help them bloom, grow, and survive.

Out of the four seasons, which are flowers associated with? The season of spring; the season that represents renewal, rebirth, new beginnings, growth, joy and hope, and life and goodness triumphing of death and evil.

And who rules over the Spring Court? Tamlin. And he's in a similar situation like Elain.

What they both need is sunlight. They need the sun to help them out of that darkness. And that's why I think Lucien, Elain, and Tamlin are becoming a dynamic trio.

Think about it: High Lord of Spring, future High Lord of Day, and future High Lady of Day. Trust, Prythian is getting ready to handle them. And I need Tamlin to ban the inner circle from stepping foot in his court because why hasn't he done it already? I NEED the three to shit talk. (Below is a picture I made last year)
