HELLO ALL! welcome to another year of selfshiptober. i've noticed this is pretty much the 'official' selfship tober event now, which honestly warms my heart! i love seeing what this wonderful community does with my prompts :)
this year, i'm doing things a little differently. EACH DAY HAS TWO PROMPTS ASSIGNED TO IT. the first set is SHIPPY, while the second set is SPOOKY. you may either COMBINE THE TWO PROMPTS TOGETHER or CHOOSE ONE OF THE PROMPTS. the spooky prompts are a bit on the grittier side and probably won't appeal to most, so if you'd like to only use the first set of prompts and completely ignore the second, be my guest! on the other hand, if you prefer the gritter prompts, you can only use the second set of prompts, you can do that too! if you want an extra challenge, you can create a piece that incorporates both of the day's prompts. you can also change your approach depending on how you feel that day!
there are no hard rules for this. YOU CAN START WORKING ON THIS CHALLENGE EARLY, but i encourage you to wait until october to post anything. YOU CAN ALSO CONTINUING WORKING ON IT AFTER OCTOBER ENDS! you can drag this shit out into december for all i care. just DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF PLEASE.
without further ado, LET US PROCEED TO THE PROMPTS!

Little updates on my October Art Challengers!
Before deciding on this, I hadn't written in years. I immediately was able to write as much as I did before I got too exhausted to, which I was pleasantly surprised by! But that did make me get waaaay too ambitious with my goals. I don't have the energy levels nor the time to write two prompts, or even one prompt, every day. And that's not a failing on my part, that's just a fact.
So: what does it mean for the prompt lists I've started?
I'll finish writing out the prompts I have ideas and inspiration for over November. Simple as that!
From now on, I'll be testing another rhythm: having a database of prompts to pick from and trying to write one per week. If I post it: awesome! If I don't: still great! If I write more: yay me! if I don't: still good job me!
Overall less pressure for me to keep up with /pos
Trying so hard to remember that productivity isn't limited to high-spoon activities like writing or researching, but also includes self-care, more chill hobbies like gaming or coloring, things like regression, anything that makes you feel good, including resting and napping!
🍂 What I personally did for Samhain 🕯️
✪ Lit up my colored leds and fairy lights for a cosy atmosphere
✪ Cleaned up my altar
✪ Took a moment to reminisce about my passed loved ones
✪ End of year review
✪ Letter to the Universe: gratitude, what I'm leaving behind, and manifesting the the new year
✪ Renewing my money bowl offering to Lord Hades with a written prayer
I usually get too overwhelmed or straight up forget to celebrate the sabbats, so this is pretty much a first celebration outside of just my morning coffee brewing spell being adapted to the sabbat!

I don't think you can fully think like someone, so not really.
I'll give out an author whose thoughts make me think (/vpos) instead: Virginie Despentes. SHe's raw and true, and that can be shocking to some considering what she talks about, but I find it refreshing and necessary. It's honest, it's not sugarcoated, it's real.
Me: tries to catch up (and get some advance on) my two main October challenges before I get busy af again
My silly ass brain: What if yandere artist bf though?
Merry Christmas, Yule or whatever else you celebrate! (aka Happy Holidays!) ✨🩵

I finished playing Bear & Breakfast yesterday!
I loved the game!
Nice mix between management, decoration and adventuring! The tutorials are quite well done, the menus are intuitive, and the quests are easy to follow.
The art style is super super cute and lovely, and the options for decor are awesome!
The management aspect is really easy to understand while style being interesting.
Overall, the game isn't very difficult, but it's very relaxing and satisfying to go through!
The characters are so loveable and colorful, absolute banger!
Highly recommend it!
I'll give this a go!
Missing my black feathery wings, otherwise that's accurate!
Not too sure who to tag, but if you see this feel free to jump in after me! 💚
