❓ What is a Big Bang?

A Big Bang is a fandom event where:

📝 Writers create longer fics (10k+ words) 🎨 Artists are matched to those fics and create art, edits, videos, playlists, or visuals 🎉 Everything gets posted in a big celebratory bang!

It’s all about celebrating Gelphie as a fandom.

Check out the full(er) FAQ list HERE.

✨ How Can I Join?

Sign up form here. | Sign up Post here

There are five main ways to participate:

🖋️ As a Writer – Sign up to write a fic (10k+), submit a rough draft by the deadline, and polish it for the final posting.

🖌️ As an Artist – Get matched with a fic and create something inspired by it: art, videos, moodboards, edits, gifsets, anything visual!

Yes, you can sign up as both!

📝As a Beta Reader – Get matched with a fic writer that's requested help from an editor for their fic.

📣As a Cheerleader – Get matched with a fic writer or artist that needs some support during their creativity. Cheerleaders can also be promoters that shout from the western skies all about the amazing work the contributors put into their works.

As an Admin - May seem a bit boring, but every Fandom Event needs a dedicated group of people willing to make sure everything goes off without a hitch in the background.

I hope Barbie is so good and successful it makes every executive that’s turned everything bright and fun made for young girls into edgy boring teen dramas for the last ten years spontaneously combust into flames

to say my piece: firstly, fuck iskall.

secondly, its very easy to tell by the outpouring of hate comments on many of the hermits' recent videos (after his response) that he reached a target of young, impressionable fans. not only that, but also a darker side of the hermitcraft fandom that i like to ignore.

as much as i love hermitcraft, its "golden" status that its gotten from remaining "unpolitical" and "drama-free" has perpetuated a very ugly-hearted group of fans who cant find solace in the more openly left-wing smp communities. so they turn to hermitcraft, where they can hide a little more easily. and this has been a group of people slowly cultivating numbers for years now, and there's enough of them that docm77's gay beacon, or the number of pride mcc participants (and queer hermits) can't ward off.

these people have always been the ones brushing concerns in the community under the rug, the "this isn't the place for politics," and "i watch hermitcraft to get AWAY from that stuff." types. they are never going to believe the women that were harassed over the male creator they've latched onto as someone who's "for them" and "un-cancelable." these people have been waiting for this opportunity. and you'll see them say "hermitcraft is over," and "they can't come back from this," but none of that is true. they're the only ones who believe that.

and as awful as all of this is, the hate and the VERY thinly veiled misogyny-- there is a bright-side in weeding those people out. "i don't think i'll be able to watch hermitcraft after this" good fucking riddance.

iskall knew what he was doing by bringing his shit response video to his youtube audience. instead of the reddit, instead of twitter, but to a space that HE moderates. the space with the highest concentration of people who he know will defend him.

my only hope is that the hermits double down on this, and that they have the backbone to make it clear that these people are not welcome in the community. and neither is iskall. and that the larger chunk of us continue to support the victims, and uplift what they have to say. i can't imagine how this must feel for them.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day!

Sorry that I haven’t been able to stream much this month as well and raise money for the charities I’ve put down, so I’ll add a couple more for the month than usual when I’m back! If you have any good ones let me know!!!

Snifferish: The range of like, Christmas sweaters to like, skimpy Santa in these skins, I’m – look at Scar’s skin!

Phil: [silently losing it] That doesn’t leave much to the imagination king.
