I’m So Normal About Lucien I Don’t Constantly Think About His Flaming Red Hair Or His Snark Or His

you're Black and they've got a handful of Black characters in star wars and none of them are written with love and care like they deserve. every Black character that looks remotely Black is either a "near human" alien species or villainized.

you're Polynesian and youve technically got a whole bunch of really prominent characters with a range of morals but people keep thinking/pretending/making them white and then the majority of those guys' voices and stories are ignored in favor of white jedi who should know better than to be slave owners. ppl deny your existence in this story and claim it for white people.

you're eastern/southern asian and like 99% of this fucking franchise wouldn't be here without your people and your culture(s) but good fucking luck finding prominent characters that share your face. they had one lady in a sequel trilogy nobody asked for and by the time they make another movie with her they manage to give white/alien sides more lines than her.

or you're SWANA and star wars is basically a carbon copy of your people and your culture and is also, ironically, a carbon copy of the same shit you have to deal with irl--being made a terrorist, being called backwards, stereotyped, etc etc, made out to be "hostile" in the same way white folks do irl. and there's white fans who have the nerve to tell you this is a compliment.

youre jewish and every time there's a character with a hooked nose they're also evil. if there's a character thats working with money they've got a hooked nose and they're also evil. a greedy character will have a New York Jewish accent and also be a lizard. the alien that hapenns to be the slave owner to White Space Jesus is a mess of stereotypes of your people and culture.

"Star Wars is for everyone"

twitter changing their logo to doge really solidified how much of a garbage fire of a website it has become.

star wars is so fucking stupid, I love it

wait i kind of understand why Kaz renamed the Emerald Palace into the Silver Six now (i saw @randomfandom-3's screenshot and)

SIX FOR GOLD. FIVE FOR SILVER. THERE ARE FIVE CROWS ALIVE. COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT

vanserra thought of the day:

eris is the son beron respects the most but likes the least

the weather is getting hot here so fair warning that i’m entering my insufferable hater season ✌️ peace and love tho

Rules

Eris Week supports all mediums of creativity (art, fics, moodboards, playlists, incorrect quotes, head canons, drabbles, theories, etc)

You can ship Eris with anyone and everyone. This blog is ship neutral and will support all works. Eris x OCs are welcome too! 

There is no restriction on content. You're welcome to post NSFW as long as you tag appropriately.

Be as wild as you like! We’ve included two prompts per day. Feel free to pick one, both or neither. If you need a little extra guidance, click on the prompt day to see a post with some guiding questions to get the gears turning. [This will be happening over the next 3 weeks]. 

We do not tolerate hate. Please do not argue or spread negativity on other creators content during this week. We are here to support one another and celebrate one of our favorite characters! If you are not a fan of Eris, you are welcome to block this blog! Your peace of mind is important as is that of our creators.

We will not reblog or interact with any AI art. 

We will have a Collection (ErisWeek2023) on AO3! Do some double duty and post your masterpiece there too!

FAQ

How do I participate in Eris Week?

During Eris week please post your content on tumblr. Tag this blog in the main body of your post (@erisweek2023) and tag your post with #erisweek2023. If you are posting on AO3, make sure to add your work to the Eris Week AO3 Collection and post your link here on tumblr.  If we don’t reblog your post within 24 hours, feel free to send us a message with the link! We would never intentionally not reblog someone’s post. 

How can I see all the works posted during Eris Week? 

During Eris week, we will compile a list of all works created for that day and post the following morning, Eastern Time. So, Day 1 we will reblog all Day 1 content. Then we’ll start off Day 2 by posting the Day 1 masterlist and then start reblogging all Day 2 content. This is so we can try to account for multiple timezones. If we miss your post or the link is wrong etc, please reach out and we will fix ASAP.  At the end of the event we will have THE MASTERLIST to rule them all that will contain links to each day’s masterlist. 

If I’m not a creator, how can I support Eris Week?

Leading up to the event, reblog our posts and/ or let your favorite creators know this event is happening! Visibility is incredibly helpful!  Reblog and comment on Eris Vanserra works leading up to and during the event! Supporting work now will encourage creators for the event week itself!  During Eris Week, be sure to leave a nice comment on AO3 works as well! 

I want to participate, but I am nervous! Do you have any advice? 

Character event Weeks are an excellent way to practice your craft, take risks, and explore art in a low stakes environment. Here are some words of wisdom that have helped folks in the past:  When in doubt, start small! Write a drabble, write some bullet points, make a sketch. All of this is 100% accepted and supported during Eris week.  Don’t feel like you have to do something for every day! Pick one or two days that really resonate with you and make content for those days!  Don’t compare yourself with others! It’s hard, especially when well known folks are also participating. But remember, everyone is happy to get any content, especially Eris fans. We’re hungry for anything folks will give us! And one day, you may be that well-known creator ;)  Don’t aim for perfection! Post something with typos, get a canon detail wrong! People will ignore it and love what you’ve made anyways. I am sure that somewhere in these guidelines, there is a typo! Embrace the chaos!  If you’re looking for some reassurance, share your work with a friend ahead of time. Get their feedback! Sometimes a little encouragement can go a long way. Both of the Eris Week organizers are creators and are more than happy to chat with you about ideas, offer advice, or simply cheer you on. 

Wait, so who is in charge of Eris Week?

This blog and the event are being run by @bennylavasbuns and @secret-third-thing.

I have a question that isn’t here!

Feel free to send us asks, we’d love to hear from you all! You can send questions, headcanons, ideas, or anything else! If you have a question you’d like us to answer privately, be sure to let us know in the ask. Otherwise, all other asks will be published on our blog.
