FEBUWHUMP 2025 PROMPT LIST

this year’s prompts were chosen through an open suggestion poll (in which we received over 4,000 prompts) and a subsequent vote, where 5,019 votes were submitted. the top 28 make up the core prompts, and the febuwhump mod’s favourites that remain have become the alternates. the first prompt in the 28, “vocal chords”, was our number one prompt of the vote, with 1,625 total votes.

i am so insanely excited to see what you all create with these prompts, and i hope they’re inspiring enough to trigger a whole month’s worth of creativity for you!

as an extra added challenge, some creators will be undertaking another, smaller goal, of including apples in each of their prompt fills as an ode to the wildly popular prompt suggestion of “apples” that didn’t make it through to the poll. this is totally optional, but is a good extra challenge if you’d like to take part in it!

if you have any questions, please check out the faq before sending an ask, or skim the blog’s previously asked questions to see if your question has already been answered.

please note: notifying the blog of completionist status will happen through a google form released towards the end of febuwhump, and if you are interested in joining the febuwhmp discord server, the link will be available to do so for one week towards the end of january.

I have game proposal, the USA states but as TMA horrors. I say Louisiana would be Corruption because isth I’ve never had to deal with so much ants and wasps and bees and just, bugs in general in the walls and all over until I moved here.

Im not sure about the other states because I’ve never visited them personally but according to google Atlanta has the most person to cctv ratio so i would say Georgia is Eye coded…. Would the state with the most wide open empty spaces be The Vast or the one with mountains?

Go off in the tags, i think it would be fun?

This may actually be the coolest thing I’ve ever made

Summary:

Jon barely manages to convince the paramedics and the ECDC not to keep him in the hospital overnight, by proving that he can stand and walk and the blood transfusion they gave him isn’t having any adverse effects. Tim is grateful that they finally, reluctantly let Jon go. No one wants to spend any more time in the hospital after their too-long period in quarantine. And Tim can’t just leave without Jon. He refuses to let Jon — or either of the others — out of his sight.

Everything happened while he wasn’t here. It’s foolish of him to think that his being present will somehow prevent it happening again: not least because there is no ‘again’. The ordeal is over. Prentiss is dead and her body is being burned as they speak. But instinct is a funny thing.

People tend to forget Betas have them too. Instincts, that is. Most Beta urges are focused towards pack. Betas are the balancing force in any pack dynamic. The mediators. Tim has never occupied that role well. He was always atypically Alpha-like, prone to posturing and braggadocio. And, when all his jokes and silly little bits are stripped away by a serious moment like this one, he can be… intense . Frustration, sadness, worry, fear — he tends to skip over those emotions and go straight to a burning, jaw-clenching, low, snarling sort of anger. It’s the easier thing to feel, and to express.

Trauma will do that to a person.

my problem with getting a grip on elias’s characterization is that I always forget the fact that he’s sillay. like sure he’s evil and sadistic and manipulative and britain’s next top victim blamer but also he says things like “yes, if you die, I’m afraid you probably won’t be able to claim your expenses.” he gets punched in the stomach while being arrested and doubles over in pain and wheezes “ah. I see :)”

The “Sometimes I’m eating” is gold. That and in ep 102 “I am still here, you know.”

He loves scheduling. He LOVES to schedule. He enjoys bureaucracy. He doesn’t hire an assistant like Lucas did. I bet he formatted those expense reports himself just so he could approve them. He loves a good email. He’s a fucking NERD.

Boy what are you DOING you’ll get salmonella

forgetyoursingalongsandlullabies:

I’m kind of obsessed with the Jonmartin timeline and how Jon slowly fell in love with Martin, mostly off tape over seasons 2 and 3. I wrote a little bit of an essay trying to pinpoint the shifts and moments when we can tell something has changed. I love fanfics but I am just so interested in trying to figure out what happened in canon as close as possible. Of course this does involve speculation of emotions that we have no way of actually knowing because Jon Sims does not talk about his feelings.

Anyway it’s long-ish.

Jon fell in love with Martin over season 2 but didn’t start to realize it until late season 3 just before The Unknowing.

The three-ring binder is the apex of book technology, by the way. All the advantages of a codex, plus you can add, remove, and reorder pages at will - pages which you can furthermore protect from damage in transparent sleeves, and store commentaries, notes, and other paratextual addenda behind them without obscuring the primary content. Truly the queen of codices. Reblog if you love the three-ring binder.

Need to reblog this at some point with a stupid art of Jonathan sims saying this into a speech bubble.

Occulus, the weird cat that belongs to the Archives acting as it’s ever watchful guardian. It’s a very normal cat, we swear. (With @nopaintjustpain~~)

Oculus: *doing a threat display @ Elias*

Elias speaking in Baby voice: aww are you gonna pluck my eyes out?? Who’s the big scary predator? You are!! Why yes you are!! Look at you so poofy! What’s got you all worked up, huh sweetheart?

(It’s fine, he knows Oculus is just playing.)

(Lore under the cut)

Elias has a huge soft spot for this Creature after enjoying its companionship for 200 years. It’s traditionally the companion of the Archivist and has been since the time of Alexandria, but the thing is fond of him too. It gets lonely, losing its Archivist every couple decades, and Elias is its longest lived friend. Also, Gertrude spent the last 50 years rejecting it :( She kicked it out of the Archives and refused to have anything to do with it, so it sulked in Elias’s office for a couple decades.

Elias got used to having it around. Then Jon came along and suddenly Elias is yesterday’s news. Elias can understand the appeal for Oculus — finally, an Archivist that loves it back after being chased away from its Archives for 50 years, and Jon is so primed and ready and perfect to be Beholding’s next avatar, so of course this Creature which is a pure manifestation of Beholding would be interested in Jon — but he MISSES HIS CAT GODDAMNIT. They’re about to get into an UGLY custody battle.

(Elias refuses to even call the cat Oculus because he thinks the name Jon gave it is very silly. It’s a timeless ageless aspect of fear?? It doesn’t need a name?? It pisses him off SO bad that “”Oculus””answers to the name. Him hissing under his breath at it like ‘this is beneath you!!’ while Oculus gets belly rubs and treats because Yes I Am A Normal Cat Thank You Please Love On Me

You know who else is loves that thing? Michael 👀

Oculus’s preferred method of feeding, besides fetching the Archivist fresh Statements of course, is to stalk and Watch someone until they start to question their own sanity. Surely that can’t be the same stray cat watching you at both home and work. You’re on vacation in Mexico, that is NOT the same cat. It’s totally normal that that cat is watching you, right? Like, completely unblinkingly. You never see it move but one minute it’s watching you from somebody’s garden wall and then when you pass out of sight and round the corner now it’s watching you from someone’s porch and when did it get past you?? Also the owl perched on the tree outside your window at night can’t be the same as that cat but maybe they’re in cahoots (pun intended) because you SWEAR it has the same eyes and the damn thing won’t just LOOK AWAY FOR TWO SECONDS. You’re changing clothes in your room with the curtains drawn and you swear you can feel its eyes on you. Then you turn around and there’s a cat on your bed and you DON’T HAVE A CAT. But it’s watching you, purring lazily, and there’s a door in your room that you don’t remember being there, which the cat entered through. Surely you just forgot that you got a cat. Yes, that must be it. You lay down for bed and the cat — a sweet, cuddly thing — drapes itself on your chest, purring the entire time, and GOD it’s heavy, so heavy you can barely expand your chest to breathe under its weight, and it won’t stop staring at you. You’ve never seen it blink. Surely you’re losing your mind.

(Michael and Oculus take turns with the victims depending on what the person ends up most afraid of: the so-called “”cat”” itself, or the certainty that they’re losing their mind. Sometimes Oculus plucks their eyes out and eats them, then sucks the dreams from their head like marrow from a bone. Other times Oculus tempts them into Michael’s door with the most adorable little meows. Michael is always polite and drops his little friend back off in the Magnus Institute with a careful scratch behind the ears.)

Michael Shelley remembers that cat. He never pet it when he was Gertrude’s assistant, Gertrude barred everyone from interacting with it and some quiet primal instinct told him to listen to her. But he left out tuna for it and he never chased it away. And now that he’s the Distortion he gives the GOOD scritches. Plus, the little guy has quite the impish sense of humor! Whenever it wants to go somewhere it can’t easily fly to, it’ll meow plaintively at a blank stretch of wall until a door appears to take it to an ideal ambush site from which to prank its next victim (or Elias or the archival staff). It’s a symbiotic Eye & Spiral relationship!

Meanwhile the Archival staff do Not understand why Jon is so unconcerned by the “”cat””. They’ve seen the shapes its body makes when it’s half in shadow, out the corner of their eye. Felt the Weight of its gaze. They don’t like its strange eyes. Don’t like the way it follows Jon around. But he’s so smitten with the thing, and it acts so Normal around him like it’s trying not to scare him away.

blackberreh-art:

Being Known and Understood is so painful to Michael - it’s a sickening, thrilling, delightful kind of pain that does Not Make Sense, and it should hate it. It DOES hate it - and yet, and yet, and yet…

Michael leaned closer, a shudder wracking its frame. Like basking in a clarifying light that highlighted all that was wrong with it, and it was wrong and yet-

It didnt make sense. This … want.

But when does anything make sense with the Distortion?

Elias should Not Be Able to Touch Michael. Michael should not be tangible unless it wished it. And yet that is very much pressure against its arm, a very real and human heat sinking into its body, and Michael finds itself still. Caught. Held prisoner by the vile green glow of the Watcher as he was Seen. The hand pressed so gently against the sharp planes of Michael’s own felt like a burning manacle.

Thrilled, disgusted, elated, Michael let out an echoing laugh that bordered on hysterical. Elias flinched in pain at the sound, but his grin widened, and his Gaze held steady. He was afraid, but then again, so was Michael - and wasn’t that just terrible?

“Are you sure you want to play this game, Michael?” Elias’ words shivered with a faint rasp.

“Oh yes, yes Watcher, Now? Now I definitely do~”

jon is such a suitor. he’s such a guy who patiently stands outside a row house in the chill night wearing his good jacket waiting for his prospective companion to finish getting ready so they may attend a showing at the local cinema. he’s a respectable and earnest young lad who will finish a night of courting at 11pm exactly.

They really were on another plane of existence when they made Martin Blackwood. Truly the character of all time

He’s queer. He’s fat. He writes bad poetry. He has no degree and lies his way into a job he has no qualifications for. He manages to succeed at said job for 7 years with no one noticing anything. He has a crush on his boss who wishes he would die on a daily basis. He makes said boss fall in love with him AND elope with him to another country. He will openly tell you any emotion he is feeling at any time and you will never learn a single thing about his personal life. He watches his boyfriend kill someone and goes “huh, that was hot” and then encourages him to do it again. He had mommy issues. He has daddy issues. His suggestions for improvements of his workplace include “less murder” and “fire.” His first instinct at encountering the guy who woke his boyfriend up from a coma is to kill him. He has no middle name. His one unambiguous description is that he’s “not cool.” He regularly fantasizes about murdering his other boss and making out with his boyfriend over his corpse. How does anyone else ever compare
