[Image Description: Two Valentine’s Day themed drawings of the Unimabel and Frock pairings.

Image 1: Unikitty and Mabel are hugging, with Unikitty on the left and Mabel on the right. With her right paw, Unikitty is holding a raspberry heart-shaped box of chocolates that has a bright red ribbon tied into a bow. The box has a light gray tag on it that reads, “My love keeps growing!” There are trees on the card that are growing red hearts. Behind Mabel and to the right, there is an easel with a canvas on it. Unikitty has painted a picture of her and Mabel sharing an embrace, with the words “Mabel! I love you!” painted over them; the word Love is represented by a pink heart. There are several sparkles on the painting. Unikitty’s cheeks are in the shape of hearts, and she and Mabel are smiling widely. Behind them is a pink heart backdrop, with a lighter shade of pink in its middle.

Image 2: Master Frown and Brock are exchanging bouquets of bright roses with each other. Brock is on the right, and his bouquet has a light yellow wrap. He is smiling widely and handing the bouquet to Master Frown with both hands. Master Frown is on the left. He is reluctantly looking off to the side and frowning. His bouquet has a green wrap, and he is holding it behind his back with both hands. Behind them is a purplish-pink heart backdrop, with a lighter shade of purplish-pink in the middle.

Last year, I held a shipping event for the following five ships, and I hope to do it again soon!

First off, there's Unimabel, or as I'd like us to start calling them, Major Princess. It's an OC x Canon ship. As the princess of the Unikingdom gets older, she gets a taste of teenage love when she meets a maple tree set on becoming the greatest drum major Central Unikingdom High School has ever seen. I thought it would be a cute way to explore how Unikitty would navigate something that happens to many high school-aged kids, now that she's one.

Foxodile and Frock, the two Canon x Canon ships from the show, are obviously canon, of course. Master Frown and Brock are still boyfriends, and late into Big Bright World, they become fiancés and then husbands. As for Foxodile, I'm portraying them as an intimately platonic kind of ship. It's a ship where, even though you don't like your partner in a romantic sense, you still want to have a very special connection with them.

Spicella, aka Golden Sun, is an OC x OC ship in this AU, involving a pair of merfolk who swear to love each other and stand by each other no matter what. They love each other unconditionally with absolute abandon. Treymogen is another OC x OC ship that also involves teens exploring new and confusing feelings, plus a lot of cultural clashes. That's because someone from a diaspora is getting together with someone living in the nation their heritage comes from.

On we go into Day Three! Again, don’t worry if you couldn’t submit an entry for Foxodile and Frock on those days. You don’t need to be perfectly on time. You can post them anytime you’re ready to!

[Image Description: Unikitty and Mabel are at the beach together, wearing their swimsuits. Unikitty has a magenta one-piece sleeveless suit with yellow flowers with purple centers on it, and Mabel is wearing a two-piece light green suit. The middle is very light green, and the sleeves and skirt are lime green with darker green leaves patterned on them. On the left, Unikitty is playfully splashing Mabel with water, who is on the right lifting her forearms upward. The water is bright turquoise blue in the back, and it appears to be more lavender as it reaches the front. The sand is very sparkly, and there are multiple gems, a shell, and a starfish on it. In the very back, there are multiple clouds, a purple rock with an orange, pink and yellow top, distant magenta, yellow and pink rocks, a small island with two palm trees on it, and a winged pink dolphin jumping out of the water towards the left. /End ID.]

Now, this is where we start to delve into the fanon of Big Bright World. This is an OC x Canon pairing that deals with the excitement and newness of young teenage love, as Unikitty is getting older in this AU. It’s the ship between Unikitty and Mabel, or as I call them, Unimabel.

The prompt I decided on doing was A Perfect Sunny Day. The beach is a great place to spend such a day, especially with your special someone. The, quote-unquote, “perfect spot” in particular might have been claimed for the crabs, but that isn’t going to stop these two. They just need to keep away from where the crabs decided to sit.

/End IT.]

Since I have five big ships going on in my AU, I thought it would be a fun idea to dedicate a week-long event to them. This, folks, is Big Bright Ship Week.

If you guys would like to participate, but you need more time to prepare, I can move this event to November 13-19.

Foxodile and Frock are canon ships, Unimabel is an OC x Canon ship, and Spicella and Treymogen are OC x OC ships.

You don’t have to be a longtime follower of Big Bright World, or have my OCs’ entire lore memorized to participate. You can use their fake wiki pages as references:

Mabel

Spike

Marcella

Imogen

Trey

You also don’t have to do all three of the prompts I listed for each ship. Those prompts are just to help give you inspiration; they’re possible ideas that you can do. You don’t even need to do any of those- you can come up with your own ideas.

The last two days are both free spaces. On those days, you can do anything else you want with the five ships listed above, or you can draw any of your other Unikitty ships (like Eaglecreeper, for instance). Or, you can show me which of the other characters in Big Bright World you ship, if anyone. I’d love to see your headcanons for them!

You can submit anything you’d like. If you’re drawing something, you can use whatever style you’d like, whether it’s the show’s style or your own.

There are, of course, a couple of don’t’s…

No NSFW. That won’t go over well.

No pedophilia, incest, or ships with large age gaps.

No ships that glorify or romanticize abuse or non-con.

No shipping Swanna, Celina (Spike’s mom) or Pepper with anyone. Swanna and Celina are both aspec, and Pepper wants to stay single.

Tag your posts with #bigbrightshipweek so that I can see them!

[Image Description: A drawing of Mabel and Unikitty. They are in Mabel’s room, which has brown wallpaper with a triangular pattern near the floor, light yellow carpeting, and a dark reddish-brown chair that Mabel sits at to practice. It has a purple sheet music stand in front of it, and her light purple clarinet case with pink zippers next to it. Unikitty and Mabel are in front of Mabel’s practice chair laughing together. Unikitty’s arms are wrapped around her stomach while Mabel’s palm is on her forehead. Unikitty’s sparkle matter consists of suns with smiling faces, hearts, stars, tiny sparkles, butterflies and light blue music notes. Mabel’s sparkle matter is made up of light bluish-green music notes, hearts, sparkles, white flowers and bees. On the bottom, “Fluffuary- Laughing Together” is written. /End ID.]

I don’t think I’ve ever described what my characters’ Sparkle Matter looks like… I should do that at some point…

[Image Description: A drawing of Imogen and Trey. They are sitting together on the roof of a house in Charm Valley and looking up at the sky, which is beautifully illuminated with stars. Trey is sitting with his legs crossed, and Imogen has her hands on where her knees would be. Both of them are blushing and smiling, and a magenta heart is popping up right above their heads. The background is a forest, and the pointy trees are darker shades of green the further away they are. In the very back, there’s a cluster of hills in shadow. On the bottom, “Fluffuary- Night Out” is written. /End ID.]

Imogen’s favorite things include cloud watching, flying kites and stargazing. She’s gonna meet an elf who loves doing that last thing.

[Image Description: A drawing of Dr. Fox and Hawkodile. They are baking cookies together in the kitchen of Unikitty’s castle. There is a hot pink heart between them. On the counter in front of them, there is an open can of magenta frosting, a jar of sprinkles, a tray of finished cookies, a whisk, a bowl of cookie batter, and an egg carton. On the right, Dr. Fox is holding a spoon with batter on it in one hand and a cookie from the tray in another. On the left, Hawkodile is holding a frosting spreader with frosting on it in one hand and another cookie from the tray in the other. He’s taken a bite out of his cookie; there are frosting and sprinkles around his mouth. On the top, “Fluffuary- Cooking Together/Sharing Food” is written. /End ID.]

Can you tell this one was inspired by Perfect Moment? (I have a really bad habit of spelling things out…)

[Image Description: A drawing of Spike and Marcella. They are in the main hall of the Castle of Marevi. There are four arches behind them with sea flowers and grass growing out from some cracks. On the rightmost column, there is a sign pointing out directions to the library, steam hall and garden. The hall is illuminated with lovely purple and yellow lights, and there are some golden lights floating around Spike and Marcella. Spike is passionately kissing Marcella’s forehead; one of his arms is around her back, and one of her hands is on his shoulder. Marcella’s other hand is holding Spike’s while it’s cupping her cheek. There is a red heart over their heads. On the top, “Fluffuary- Forehead Kiss” is written. /End ID.]

Normally, it’s Marcella who initiates or gives a kiss. But Spike, being the romantic guy he is, WILL gladly start or give one whenever he’s feeling it.

[Image Description: A drawing of Master Frown and Brock. They are in a pit that looks like half of a gigantic geode. Above them is a bunch of pointy green trees poking out and a pretty sunset. On the right, Brock’s body is bent in a way that makes him look like he’s down on one knee. He is holding a blue ring box that has a blue ring with a green gem on it inside. On the left, Master Frown is surprised. His hand is almost covering his mouth, and tears of joy are swelling in his eyes. Lime green exclamation marks are above his head. There is a large red heart and two smaller hot pink hearts between Brock and Master Frown. On the bottom, “Fluffuary- You Changed My Life.” is written. /End ID.]

“Doing things with you is the greatest thing I’ve ever gotten to do. You’re one of the best people I know. And, I really want that to last the rest of our lives. So, uh… will you marry me, dude?”

[Image Description: Two colorless drawings of Unikitty and Mabel.

Image 1: Unikitty and Mabel are dressed up and at their prom together. Unikitty is wearing a dress with poofy sleeves and a skirt with multiple layers. Her tail is also braided. Mabel’s leaf-like hair is tied into two low, large ponytails, and she is wearing a suit and tie. She is also wearing heeled boots. She has three sparkles on each of her cheeks. Mabel, who is on the left, is holding both hands with Unikitty, who is on the right, as she is floating in the air. Above them, “It’s time to dance!” is written.

Image 2: Unikitty, who is on the left, is showing a drawing she made to Mabel, who is on the right. Unikitty is holding the drawing up with both paws, and her pencil is in her right paw. The drawing depicts Mabel in a marching band uniform, playing her piccolo. Mabel looks excited by this drawing. Her right hand is upward, and she is holding her clarinet case with her left hand.

Today is our first free space, so go ahead and steer the ship wherever you’d like! We can do more with the five ships we saw this week, or do something with our other canon ships- you know, the ones that involve characters from the show. We can also do ships involving other OCs seen in the Big Bright World AU! Is there anybody else you ship in BBW? Go on ahead and show me!

Personally, I decided to do more Unimabel stuff, and there aren’t any big digital drawings this time! I also decided to do the Prom Night prompt, and I chose to sprinkle in a reference to The Prom. I actually saw that show way back in March, right before my birthday! I also wanted to do something sweet with the Visual and Performing Arts prompt. We’ve seen Unikitty’s little doodles in the show, so she’s got one to let Mabel know how great she is on the marching field!

[Image Description: A drawing of Imogen and Trey by @askthechronoverse. They are holding hands, but aren’t looking at each other. Trey is on the left side, flusteredly looking off to the left and blushing. On the right side, Imogen is standing on a rock, flusteredly looking off to the right and blushing as well. /End ID.]

(I’m interpreting this as Imogen standing on a rock ‘cause she’s, like, half Trey’s height.)

[Image Description: A drawing of Spike and Marcella by @askthechronoverse. They are embracing with their cheeks pressed into each other. Spike, on the right side, is smiling with his eyebrows furrowed passionately. Marcella, on the left side, is blushing and smiling, gripping Spike’s forearm. /End ID.]

[Image Description: A drawing of Unikitty and Mabel by @askthechronoverse. They both have a cone of ice cream; Mabel has strawberry, and Unikitty has chocolate. Mabel is on the left side with her left arm around Unikitty, and Unikitty is on the right side with her right arm around Mabel. Unikitty’s front feet are cat paws, and her back feet are unicorn hooves. Mabel and Unikitty are looking at each other with little hearts in their eyes. /End ID.]
