Hey, Lunartics!

Sorry we’re a bit late to the party this year, but we’re very happy to announce the themes and dates for TLC Ship Weeks 2019! Buckle up, because we’ve got some fun ones this year!


TLCSW 2019 v07-1 by mf-islands TLCSW 2019 v07-2 by mf-islands

TLC Ship Weeks 2019 will be held from Sun, January 20 - Sat, February 9, and the themes will be as follows:

Winter x Jacin: Jan 20 - 23
Experiment – Sun, Jan 20
Still – Tues, Jan 22

Cress x Thorne: Jan 23 - 26
Ghost Hunting – Thurs, Jan 24
Enough – Sat, Jan 26

FREE WEEK: Jan 27 - Feb 2
Seasons – Mon, Jan 28
Victorian Era – Wed, Jan 30
University – Fri, Feb 1

Scarlet x Wolf: Feb 3 - 6
Burn – Sun, Feb 3
Wish – Tues, Feb 5

Cinder x Kai: Feb 6 - 9
Thieves – Thurs, Feb 7
Remember Me / Let Go – Sat, Feb 9

Note: In-between days are open to non-themed submissions. You may submit for WxJ and/or CxT on Jan 23 and for SxW and/or CxK on Feb 6.

But wait, what’s going on with the last Cinder x Kai theme? Why are there two phrases? That’s right, for this year, we decided to throw in a double theme: since the two phrases form a dichotomy, we thought it’d be interesting to see how you guys play with that juxtaposition! You can also just use one of the themes, if you’d prefer. It’s up to you!

Anyhow, have fun with this year’s themes! If you have any questions about dates, submissions, tagging, reblogging, etc, check out our ABOUT and FAQ pages, or leave a comment on this journal. 

Thanks, and we hope to see you there!


One final announcement before we go:

Unfortunately, there are no plans to hold a raffle this year. The admins fell a bit behind and never got around to organizing a raffle, so consequently, there will be no raffle and no spreadsheet. There is no longer a “late penalty,” but we hope that you’ll still try to submit on time!

TLC on dA Now Open to Other Marissa Meyer Books


Instead of making a new DeviantArt group for Marissa Meyer's new duology, Renegades, we've decided to collect deviations for all Marissa Meyer-related books into this TLC group, under folders dedicated to Heartless and Renegades. Ideally, we could change the name of the group, but unfortunately you can't do that without a subscription.

Our hope is that those of you who love TLC will also love future Marissa Meyer books, and that if you haven't read them yet, you can discover some new books through this group. :)

Looking for Volunteers


Most of our operations are over at Tumblr, but we welcome help on the DeviantArt side too! We're looking for volunteers who can help reblog, tag, post, and/or code themes (or do a bunch of other things. Like create graphics!)

We may need help getting TLC Ship Week submissions from places like dA and Pinterest over to Tumblr too.

If you're interested in helping out, please send a note to Sorcaron~

Edit: It appears that I accidentally submitted this as a journal/blog entry to the group too! Sorry about that. Well. In that case, let this be a reminder that

TLC Ship Weeks 2017 is underway!:iconlawooplz:Submit your fanart and fanfiction to this folder!



While I'm here, let's do a feature of the Ship Weeks pieces we've gotten on DeviantArt so far. :D :D
Home (Part One)

A/N: 
There is Portuguese in this fic. While Kai translates, he doesn’t do a thorough job. The real English translation is at the bottom.
    Kai was good at a lot of things. He could run a lab, write an essay, solve a math problem, row a boat, read a book, and even do taxes. He could not, however, make a cup of coffee for the life of him. Not from lack of trying.
He sat a table over from Cinder, the senior employee who had been teaching him that day. "Senior" had nothing to do with age; Kai was a year older than her. Yet, for the first time in his life, he felt severely inadequate.
He bit into a scone an employee gave him earlier. He imagined it had to do with his father being the CEO. Since the moment he stepped into Imperial Coffee that morning, the other employees were distant. When Cinder first greeted him, he had to make her call him Kai: Mr. Huang he reserved for teachers and business meetings with his

TLCSW 2017, Day 3: Satellite



Continuing the tradition of improvised piano for the too-lazy-to-draw-but-wait-video-editing-takes-such-a-long-time Sorcaron! :dummy:

I suppose the ship (as suggested by Porsheee) is Everyone x Their Loneliness lol. But anyways, I stole Porsheee's painting for this.
But basically you can listen to 10 minutes of me attempting to play piano (or not. Whichever you'd like.)




Previous Music:

TLC SW2 - Rainy DayThis is just piano. Put it in video form never again so that you can actually click through it in case you're bored?? I stole NightmareSiren's drawing for an image. Thanks, buddy.

Previous music: Daybreak (Winter x Jacin)

This is actually 4 separate recordings (well, 2 recordings. 4 sections.)
0:00 Rainy-1 I think this one sounds worse because it was recorded with my phone??
2:21 Rainy 2-1
4:10 Rainy 2-2
6:23 Rainy 2-3 (Stormy?) //I like this one because it feels a bit darker.
