A 3-Day Fanworks Event celebrating our favorite sparkly queen of Bright Moon!
November 30th to December 2nd, 2021
(Glimmer's canon birthday is December 1st)
Fanart, fanfic, drabbles, edits, AMVs, memes, headcanons, playlists, cosplay, TikToks or whatever else you want to make to celebrate her majesty are welcome.
Every year our girl's birthday ends up forgotten because it's sandwiched between the big autumn and winter holidays. This year, let's make sure we give Glimmer a little extra love with a mini-three day fanworks event! The idea is just to add a more Glimmer-centric content to the world so all ships and secondary characters are welcome!
Who is this event for? Are ships included?
Anyone and everyone is welcome to participate! Fanworks can include any ships or secondary characters you wish, so long as Glimmer is the main focus.
How do I participate?
Make something about Glimmer! Anything! We've provided some prompts above as a starting point that you can interpret any way you wish but feel free to ignore them and just do whatever! (And it doesn't have to be anything big, even something as small as a 100 word drabble or a silly meme would be welcome!) Canon-compliant, modern setting, alternate universe... whatever you feel like making, we'd love to see it!
When you post your content on Tumblr, such as fanart or links to fics hosted externally, just include the tag Happy Birthday Glimmer along with your other fandom or ship tags so people can find it. For Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc, use #HappyBirthdayGlimmer all as one word.
What are the prompts?
Nov 30 - Fist to Face Sparkles
Dec 1 - The Queen Card
Dec 2 - Crippling Self-Doubt / Overwhelming Hubris
Interpret these any way you want! Or ignore them entirely and do your own thing, we're just providing them as a starting point! Do one of the days or all three, it's completely up to you!
Are there any content limits?
Nope! Though, as a courtesy, please tag Explicit and Violent content appropriately and put adult content under the jump or linked externally whenever possible so people can choose to interact with your content as desired.
How can I see what people have made for this event?
Once the event begins, search the tag Happy Birthday Glimmer on Tumblr or #HappyBirthdayGlimmer on other social networks to see what's been posted so far.
Sound fun! Can I help spread the word about this event?
Yes! Please do! Feel free to reblog or repost the image above as needed on your blog or other social media sites to help get the word out.
Questions? Feel free to DM me or send me an ask! I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
Rules: itās time to love yourselves! choose your 5 (ish) favorite works you created in the past year (fics, art, edits, etc.) and post or link them below to reflect on the amazing things you brought into the world in 2020. tag as many writers/artists/etc. as you want (fan or original) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works!
I was tagged by @caramelaire and @tippenfunkaport haha thank you for the tag, friends!! This is days late and so it is now...basically the end of 2020 lol
This year was the year I started properly writing and publishing fanfic, which was scary and exciting in so many ways! Itās been fun trying out something new and just going with the flow, finding another outlet for my finnicky creative brain. And Iām eternally grateful that Iāve made some wonderful wonderful friends who I appreciate and love very much through this whole shebang.Ā

1: a love letter through the seasons
This is probably one of my personal top favourite things that Iāve written! Iām really really proud of this piece because I think the concept behind it is really cool hehe I remember I wrote this in a burst of inspiration so that was fun too, and thinking about all the things that Bow would love about Glimmer was really nice, because I love her so much and she definitely deserves to be appreciated!!!Ā
2: they tell me the story of you
This chapter of this fic is another one I really like, just because itās so softeā¢ and it was the first time I tried something slightly different. Also I can never get enough of Glimbow appreciating each other in any way possible ;~;
3: something starts to shift
I like this one because firstly it was written for Glimbow Week 2020 which was fun! And more importantly because I think this was the first time I really delved into Feelings and Emotional Confusion in the pining department haha which was very interesting to explore. It was also the first time I allowed myself to be honest about my own experiences and allowed them to influence some of my work so that was a really interesting experience as a writer! And I think it turned out great heheĀ
4: iāll carry you home tonight
Ooh this is another one I like and am very proud of because of similar reasons to #3, only I decided to take the angst up even higher just to see if I could. Itās got a sense of precariousness that I am personally very fond of, and the pain of Season 4 which intrigues me to no end, even as it hurts.Ā
5: shall we dance?
This is another fic in my Glimbow Week 2020 collection that I adore. It was the first time I tried writing something a little bit more ~~sexy~~ which was fun HAHAH also cheeky!glimmer lives in my head rent free so it was definitely great to be able to pen her downĀ
~
Given that itās the end of 2020, anyone who sees this and wants to do it still, just consider yourselves tagged! Hehe happy new year everyone!Ā
STOP THE CAT - because Catra is a complex character, but also a cat. This started as a single panel of Catra launching herself at a Christmas tree andā¦evolved. I have sunk way too many hours into this. MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I canāt help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I canāt help falling in love with you?

I really like this little bit from my recent she-ra animatic so I thought Iād make it into a little comic since Tumblr wonāt let me post more the 10 images at a time..
