We’re thrilled to announce MadaTobi Week 2024 will take place November 9-16! Each day will have two unrelated prompts. You may use either or both for each day, and there is a free day if none of the prompts are to your taste.
This event is about having fun and celebrating the MadaTobi ship! The rules are simple and straightforward– make sure your works are new for the event, and that any content warnings are tagged appropriately. We’ll be open for late submissions for one week after the event ends.
If you have any questions, please refer to our links for General FAQ and Rules. Our ask box is also open for any additional questions!
Please note that there will be no buttons/physical merch this year. We’re very excited to see all the content everyone comes up with!
Our AO3 Collection is here, and will open when the event week starts.
This year, we will have a Day 0 dedicated to making recommendations!

We’re only finding out recently that a lot of animals have colors and patterns that we cannot see because they’re outside of our visual range. It calls to attention how much of the world we can’t experience because our senses are limited. When we shine UV lights on them, they glow pink or blue, but these are the colors that we CAN see…. they could be a bunch of different colors, which we SEE as all pink. It’s also interesting to consider that most of these animals are not aware of having glowing patches on their bodies…. isn’t it also possible that we have skin or hair patterns that were not aware of? . . (There is actually some research out there to support the idea that our own skin fluoresces as well and that there are gender differences in the pattern and glow.)

Hey runners (and walkers)! Thought this might be helpful :)
"Oh, please.. 'killing me'? that's so two years ago.."
Person: My life has felt so empty after that series ended
Me:
Friendly reminder that you’re allowed to like a thing without knowing every single fact about the thing
You’re allowed to like a movie without having to know every crew member’s name
You’re allowed to like a book without having to memorize every page
You’re allowed to like a video game without having to know all the Easter eggs and cheat codes
You’re allowed to like things and not be an expert on things
Liking things isn’t supposed to be stressful
Daily reminder, because this shit is so ingrained in global culture it makes me want to SCREAM, that vaginal sex is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PAINFUL EVER. It is not supposed to bleed! No, not even when it's your "first time". That's not how it works and WHY WOULD IT BE? The vagina is a very cool dude that does this really cool thing: when sexually aroused, the tissue surrounding the vaginal opening as well as the muscle of the canal expands in width & length and lubricates. YES, EVEN "VIRGINS". You've probably heard something along the lines that "it hurts at first but it gets better" – NOPE. The vagina does not magically start functioning after a penis tears it open.
Painful sex is generally due to (other than ignorant partners):
- Minimal or no sexual arousal
- No additional lubrication (vaginal lubrication is great! it is also not always sufficient)
- Low oestrogen or unbalanced hormones (due to young age, health conditions, HRT, stages of menopause)
- Incompatible partners (yes, penises/strap ons can be TOO BIG, don't just pick up the biggest one you can find. look up how long the average aroused vagina is, seriously, then take into account your own anatomy and the position of your cervix at rest & when your vagina is mostly or fully aroused)
- Congenital conditions or a cervix that hangs lower than average
It is so important for people with vaginas to learn their body before having penetrative sex with a partner. PLEASE EXPLORE AND EDUCATE YOURSELF FIRST. Find what works for you. Do NOT put your health and safety in the hands of some idiot.
P.S. Sometimes it just doesn't work and that's okay. Vaginal sex is NOT the height of human experience. There are dozens of other mutually pleasurable sexual experiences to be had!
My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s
