ROUND 1: POLL #20

ROUND 1 POLLS [HERE]

PROPAGANDA BELOW

Dave Strider/Karkat Vantas:

Karkat is Alien Jesus, and Dave is a repressed bisexual with a sword. they watch rom-coms together. Their combined childhood trauma would bring licensed therapists so far past the breaking point that the breaking point recedes and becomes just a distant happy memory. neither of them has ever been capable of shutting the fuck up. Look, sometimes you get stuck on a meteor for three years with a guy you barely know and at the end of it you would do anything for each other. their blood is the same color.

Julio Esteban "Ric" Richter/Shatterstar:

Have a lot of subtext in the 90s

Marvel's first romantic kiss between male superheroes (as I remember correctly)

[SPOILER]

[SPOILER]

They're a battle duo :]

Can you believe Rictor and Shatterstar’s relationship was made canon 15 years ago? Well, it’s true! So, what better way to commemorate this iconic moment than with all of us sharing our love for them with a whole week dedicated to them?

The RicStar Anniversary Week 2024 will be held June 21-27, 2024.

The purpose of this event is to celebrate 15 years since the first kiss between Rictor and Shatterstar which happened on the pages of X-Factor #45 on June 24, 2009, which not only was the first gay kiss between two superheroes in Marvel, but it also confirmed years of romantic subtext between the characters. It’s been 15 years of canon RicStar, a couple that paved the way for more couples and pre-established characters to come out in later years.

Prompts:

Subjects

DAY 1: Early years/ X-Force era       

DAY 2: Missing moments

DAY 3: Mexico road-trip/ Mojoworld

DAY 4: Free day (It’s the Anniversary day!)

DAY 5: Alternate Universe

DAY 6: Krakoa Era

DAY 7: Family/ Friends

Themes:

DAY 1: Neurodivergence

DAY 2: Sacrifice / Parallels

DAY 4: Soulmates

Rules:

There are two prompts per day – a subject and a theme, feel free to use only one or a combination of the prompts.

All kinds of fanwork are welcome, from fanfics, fanarts, fanedits, playlists, photography cosplay, and even baking! (I’ve made Ricstar cookies in the past), handcrafts or even if you just want to share your thoughts, headcanons, etc. that’s perfect too. Let’s all just share our love for this couple in whichever way we want and can.

Remember to use the #ricstarweek2024 hashtag so we can find your work. For Tumblr, you can also tag us @ricstarweek2024.

Please don't feel pressured to post something for every prompt or every day. The dates and prompts work just as a guide so if you can’t post the assigned day that’s fine, post it when you can.

Remember to tag any triggers. Additionally, for NSFW material on Tumblr, make sure to put it under the “read more” break and use the function of sensitive content warning for Twitter.

Let’s have an amazing week together!!

Rictor and Shatterstar in Marvel Unlimited X-Men #125

[mexicanricstar]

As the first post of my side account (I'm bc-leecomics) let me share my Rictor and Shatterstar commission done by Jarintzi Tarelo on Instagram which is heavily inspired by the iconography of Mexican folklore because Rictor is gay and Mexican so I've always wanted to see him not only dressed as a charro but in a "traditional" Mexican scene, a charro courting his love interest, and making it gay.

Here is a very short thread were I explain the context behind this image.

#pride month is not over yet so here more ricstar!! #rictor #shatterstar #julio richter #ricstar #xmen #commission
