Campaign to make The God of Arepo an award winning work and win a literal brick as a trophy for the authors and for Tumblr community as a whole (SUCCEEDED!!!! Update below)
As the artist for one of The God of Arepo comics, my version is up for consideration for the Ignatz Awards for Outstanding Online Comic.
For those of you who don’t know the Ignatz is one of the highest industry awards that “recognize outstanding achievements in comics and cartooning by small press creators or creator-owned projects published by larger publishers”.
The thing is, winning the award means winning an actual literal brick. Because the mascot is a brick-throwing mouse. So they have to make a bit where the trophy is a brick. Like. Look.
For a long time I thought it was just plain bricks they were handing out, but my friend who won a couple of bricks two years ago had theirs stamped (I saw the bricks in person at their house). So now I am obsessed with the idea of The God of Arepo winning an Ignatz trophy. It will have the honours stamped. On a freaking brick. That’s the most Tumblr level meme trophy this comic/story could win (which is also a legit high honour industry award on its own btw don’t get me wrong).
But wilder than that, the brick allows me to do something. It allows me to smash that break into 5 pieces and ship one of each to the authors plus myself. Writing Prompts, sadoeuphemist, ciiriianan, stu-pot and me will get a piece of clay in recognition for our work with the farmer who built a temple out of stone. The full circle moment.Imagine the value of this win to the lore of this Tumblr sacred text/folklore. This brick will be smashed and given to the creators, but as a collective folklore, it’s also dedicated to all of us on this hellsite too. AWARD WINNING. If The God of Arepo wins I will document the entire process of smashing that brick here.
But we have to make this happen. We need to gather our collective energy and make this campaign work.
Please help make The God of Arepo an award-winning story and vote for it in the Outstanding Online Comic category (link). You will need to request a ballot, then submit your vote. I recommend checking out the other nominated comics too. The Ignatz really shortlists good stuff.OO!!
The voting closes September 8 2023 .
LET’S GET THE GOD OF AREPO A BRICK FOR HIS TEMPLE!! LET’S GO!!!! REBLOGS HELP TTHE GOD OF AREPO IS NOW AN AWARD-WINNING TUMBLR FOLKLORE!!!!!
WE GOT THE BRICK! WE ARE GETTING ARCHIVED INTO THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS!!! Hell yeah!! Making Tumblr history!!
I have a pretty strong idea now for how I want to smash up the brick and divide between us creators: the TL;DR is that I’m going to use the smallest pieces to build a cairn inside a pseudo-terrarium award stand. (x5)
Follow me if you want to witness the brick smashing and terrarium constructing.
But omg thank you everyone!! I had no idea if this campaign would work. I’m so honoured to be able to contribute this opportunity for everyone. :,)
hey there!! i wouldn’t ask if i wasn’t desperate, but im kind of new to using crochet patterns and this one has me completely stumped on round 4. i tried a multitude of keywords to find a tutorial but i just cant find anything :( i was wondering if u could help me puzzle it out because ive seen granny squares of similar complexity on your blog before. no worries if not tho!!
I will do my best to help!!
I know this is a one color square but for the purpose of clarity- I did a color change
…
After fastening off at the end of row 3, it wants you to join at one of the triple crochets that separates the chain spaces
“working *behind* the third row”
(I would just flip it around)
“chain 5, slip stitch in next triple crochet. Repeat 8 times ending with a slip stitch at the beginning of the row”
(Slip stitch the ch 5s to each Triple Crochet)
You should have a row of loops on the *wrong side* of the square, parallel to the petals
I hope this helps!! 🙏

why is academia,,,,, like that
hot take: if the only people who can understand your writing are a select few pretentious jerkoffs like yourself, maybe the problem isn’t that you’re just too fucking smart to communicate to the uneducated masses. maybe you’re like. a bad writer lol
like uhhh not be controversial but if the point of academic writing is to share information and 75% of your readers have no fucking clue what you’re saying around that thesaurus you’re deepthroating then uhhh maybe you’re a shit academic and also a lot less intelligent than you think you are. just a concept
