HELL YEAHHHHHH
so excited hehe
Hello! It’s here, for the fourth year in a row:
2025’s Wxwood Week will actually be two weeks: May 18th to May 31st!
But this time, we decided to do things slightly differently. Instead of a just a few people selecting the themes, we let our lovely community over on Discord suggest and pick the themes for this year's event, as well as voting to have a double week! (By the way, if you wish to see more Wxwood year-round, go check out our server! 👀)
Speaking of themes... Here they are!
How this works:
If you decide to do all 7 main prompts in the suggested order, you could spend two days on each prompt pair! And you could choose one of the two themes, or combine the two themes, or do a separate piece for each theme. Fanart and fanfiction are both welcome.
However, don’t feel pressured to do all the prompts, or in this specific order! Additionally, you can take more than two weeks, if that’s best for you. Wxwood week submissions will still be reblogged to this sideblog until the end of June; the only difference is that this might take longer to be done than in May.
Also, here are some bonus prompt pairs, an idea inspired by @starving-mimi’s Maxwil week. (This has been done with their consent, of course!) The bonus prompts can be done instead of any main prompts that you might be stumped on or less inspired for! Or, if you really want to, you could even do all 11 pairs-
To participate, you can either post here on Tumblr, or in our Wxwood discord server, or both!
If you post on Tumblr, be sure to either @ this blog, or tag your work #wxwood week 2025
If you post on Discord, you can do so in wxwood-art-channel (for visual art), or fanfiction-masterpost (for writing), or the events channel (for either) with a mention of which theme/s you used!
As for NSFW content:
No one’s stopping you from doing it, but it probably won’t be reblogged to here, unless it’s just mildly suggestive. Gore and some other intense content is allowed on both this sideblog and the discord, as long as it isn’t bigoted or otherwise extreme. Please include trigger warnings! Also, on tumblr, you should use content labels (or put the work under a read more), while on discord, you should spoiler the work. Overly suggestive content isn’t allowed in the server.
We'd like to see if this format works for you, and if it does, we'll repeat doing it from this year forward! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in this sideblog’s messages, or in this post’s comments section, or on discord!
We look forward to seeing what you’ll all come up with!

Wdhfje aeweaeag

i am now compelled to make my account useful again. So have some apocalypse bitches that I love so goddamn much.
*SHARP INHALE*
Starting with:
VANQUISH they/them
° the most responsible of the crew, but also the snobbiest.
° arrogant af! Talk shit, get hit. (With an execution axe)
° judgmental (fitting for a corrupt judge)
° they run a little kangaroo court, where they see the jury and the prosecutors as little marionettes they can play with for their little sick, twisted, and unfair puppet show.
ILLNESS he/him
°feeshy 💚💜💚
°likes to sing, uses it to lure ppl in.
°plays the role of an "angel of mercy" (for those who don't know, that's a type of serial killer who kills people under their care who are very ill and are suffering from their illness, even if they can still be healed) except here, he's not actually sympathetic for you at all :)
° the tallest of the harebringers, and the most plump.
°makes his own special plagues himself. The one he's carrying rn doesn't have a name just yet, but it's his favorite by far.
°DON'T let those droopy eyes and soft voice fool you, he can lose his temper at the drop of a hat.
°Can and will cry. Like, a lot.
°has his own diseases himself,but he's pretty immune.
°has pollen allergies.
HATRED she/it
°ANT LADY
°likes spreading rumors about ppl she finds "problamatic"

°don't say shit bout her shit plzdontyouwilldiehorriblypleasedon-
WILT he/him
°can sap any energy from plants and crops for himself, yet he is unable to gain weight... Especially with how much he takes. (Daym)
°his ragdoll look is supposed to be some sort of irony, he's a toy himself, yet he sees the people around him as toys for himself.
°speaking of, he uses his ragdoll appearance to manipulate children into thinking he's a doll their parents secretly threw away years ago. (He usually does this to 4-9 year olds)
°he also manipulates authority figures and law makers into raising the prices of food and bevrages.
°like the others, his short tempered side comes to light when things don't go his way, but out of all of them, his tantrums are the most destructive.
°he's a bit insecure about his lazy right eye. (His right)
DECAY she/her
°gives souls who died in the hands of the others a little comfort before spiriting them away.
°LOVES animals! Especially cats and crows.
°Despite her being all sweet n cute n stuff, she also has a reputation of goading people into suicide at times.
°illness and hatred are VERY protective over her (they aren't her parents, they all treat each other like siblings) make her cry, see what happens. :)
°she complains about headaches alot. But she refuses to remove the knife from her head, she calls it her "good luck charm"
° can turn into a crow herself.
WORMWOOD he/them
°leader of the harbringers

° HAHAHA HOW ARW YOU THAT SHORT-
° he's kinda scary despite his tiny stature...
°heard some of yall like those stained glass angel wings, SAY NO MORE!

° birch tree, worm, get it??? Ha! Haha, ha... I'm not funny :(
°BE AFRAID!
Height comparison!
congratulations on getting thus far! Have some lore as a reward!
So basically, wormwood was always very lonely, so he made these guys out of calamity energy, he also bosses them around quite a bit, so sometimes, they sneak off and do their own thing. (Usually ends in them getting in trouble) wormwood was feeling generous one day, and decides to conquer an island for his harebringers to rule over their own piece of land and make it to their liking! The harebringers had a fuckin field day with this, and used this as an advantage to leech off the residents' sufferings. So now, it's up to Elpis to save the residents and end wormwood's schemes once again. (I'll give y'all Elpis later tho, I'm still working on her)
That's everything, thanks for listening to me ramble about my children.🩷
TL;DR art of the 5 harebringers in my version along side wormwood! Including vanquish, illness, hatred, wilt and decay.
If Only She Knew
Pairing: Cedric the Sorcerer X Wormwood! Reader
Word Count: Roughly 1,516 words
Warnings: None; just yearning and fluff
Notes: Gif, photo, poem, and characters are not mine; only the story is mine! The poem is “If only She Knew” by Kiara Wilson and, honestly, I think it fit pretty well for the story :) The idea was one I found on @merlins-mushrooms blog that focused on the reader being Cedric’s familiar instead of Wormwood and them being able to switch between their animal and human form. I had a little bit of time and wanted to write, so I decided why not? It seems more like headcanons than a story but what can you do lmao. Hope you guys enjoy, feedback is always appreciated!
Growing up as an animal-based shape shifter, life had been both difficult and easy going for you. The magical gift you had to change into any animal at will provided you with opportunities and freedom not many people ever got to possess. Especially when it came to sneaking around and getting away with things
What made it difficult though, is that you had immense difficulty finding a job that suited you. Although you had attended Hexley Hall to learn to control and gain your magical abilities, it ended up being something you just didn't want the responsibility of doing.
Something that you did like about attending there though, was someone who had grown to be quite dear to you over the years: Cedric.
Cedric and you had started off pretty rocky, given you different backgrounds and his stifling parents, but you eventually learned to create a happy medium. After the whole fiasco with his older sister and his falling out with Roland, Cedric ended up not having many people to fully rely on. In fact, he had no one to rely on. That is, until he met you.
You two would work on spells together, duel against each other, rant about your problems to one another, and even began providing physical affection to each other. One form of which, was when you would shift into a stark black cat and curl up in his arms underneath you guys’ favorite tree outside the school grounds.
For Cedric though, his favorite form for you was the raven you would transform into when wanting some alone time or freedom. After all, one of the few things that you adored above all things was your independence. He thought you looked adorable and, after an embarrassing incident that you have sworn him into secrecy about, he dubbed your new nickname “Wormwood.”
When you both began to creep closer to your graduation date though, your time together became thinner and more tense. When your studies started to wrap up, it became clear that you both had to pick your career soon. To Cedric, that choice was easy. His father had been Roland I’s Royal Sorcerer, and it was only natural that he took his place when the king retired. For you though, choosing a career that would define the rest if your life caused you so much stress that even Greylock had noticed. Which said a lot lmao But, like always, Cedric was there to ease your troubles. Since you both wanted to stay together, but there was no need for a second royal sorcerer, Cedric offered the idea that you become his familiar.
Which…..wasn't actually a bad idea. In fact, it offered every bit of freedom, fun, and intellectual interest that you had desired in a would-be dream job.
After crushing Cedric in a bone shattering hug, you quickly made your way to the school’s office and began the preparation of registering as a familiar. lmao, we’re just gonna act like it works that way cause I have no idea what else to do
--------------------------------------------
Moving to the castle had been an easier transition than you had anticipated, but you assumed that was more your doing than Cedric’s given the fact that people seemed to greet him with more suspicion than warmth.
An unexpected advancement though, was when you were told that you both had to share sleeping quarters. Not that it really mattered that much; you and Cedric had slept near each other before when bunking and traveling at Hexley Hall, and this time would be no different.
At least....to you it would. The fact that you had grown up to be rather beautiful made you sleeping in the same quarters rather awkward for Cedric. And though he could hide his affection relatively well, he still slipped up here and there and was caught throwing you yearning glances throughout the day.
(Cedric was just glad that you had separate beds, cause he knew he wouldn’t be able to handle it if you slept less than ten feet away from him.)
Dynamic wise, you both worked together with so much ease it seemed as though you shared a collective mind. Which, in a way, you did. The only downside to knowing each other so well though, was the fact that you were adopting one another’s personality traits. Cedric, of course, had little downsides, but you were finding yourself becoming a tad more awkward then you remember originally being. But that just made you even more cuter in Cedric’s eyes. Which didn’t help his repressed love for you that he had harbored for the last fifteenish years he had known you.
--------------------------------------------
It wasn't until Sofia joined the castle and started to warm up to Cedric that he let it slip that he had the most embarrassing crush on you though. Sofia, of course, thought that this was the most adorable thing in the whole world and made it her life’s mission to help you both get together before it was too late.
--------------------------------------------
After sending you away on ‘work-related’ jobs, Cedric and Sofia began to brainstorm the best possible ways to reveal his feelings and have them reciprocated. This ended with Cedric bringing up the idea of doing it through one of your more favorable interests: Poetry.
When you guys were still young and spent most of your time underneath the great Elm tree at Hexley Hall, you two had jokingly picked up the hobby of writing mushy and cringe inducing poetry. Which meant that his admission of feelings would be even more meaningful and heartfelt. That would definitely aid him in his and Sofia’s plans.
--------------------------------------------
While he began writing his love poem to you, Sofia began to set up the location in which he would proclaim his love. With the help of a few animal companions, Sofia had successfully set up a romantic setting in a secluded area of the palace gardens when she saw Cedric leading you down the pathway towards a singular bench.
You were wearing a deep purple pantsuit and, for a minute, Sofia realized that you complemented eachother surprisingly well.
After quickly hiding behind a bush, she got as close as she could without being found.
Grasping both of your hands in his as he stood in front of your seated form, Cedric began the start of confession speech.
“(y/n), to say that you’ve had a tremendous impact on my life would be a tragically large misconception. Unlike everyone else in my life, you have stuck in my corner through thick and thin and have remained, through it all, my closest companion and friend.”
At this point, he began to nervously shift around and cast his eyes down to his polished black shoes.
“The thing is though, that my feelings as of late have changed. And, to help convey them….I sort of….w-wrote you a poem.”
You let out a snort to this, but looked at him tenderly as if to say “continue.”
Coughing into his fist, Cedric pointed his chin upwards as he sat to face you and started to recite his hastily written poem.
“She has her own special way
Of turning around my terrible day.
She makes all the bad things go away
The second that she says hey.
And when I look into her eyes,
I see pure beauty with no disguise.
Just a glance at her makes my heartbeat rise.
I know for a fact that these feelings aren't lies.
If only she knew
How much my love for her grew,
Maybe, just maybe, we could start something new,
And then I'd never feel blue.
And if beauty were inches, she'd go on for miles.
I'd better catch her before I go out of style.
I'm going to let my heart be my dial
So I can tell her what I've been feeling for a while.”
After finishing, Cedric nervously looked up at you to see what reaction you would show to what he had just revealed. Gazing at your eyes, he finally noticed the rim of tears that surrounded the lower part of your eyes and began to panic.
“Oh no, was that too much? Did...did I just ruin everything? Merlin’s Mushrooms! This always happens,” his tender look deflated into one of distress as he put his head in his hands and quickly turned away from you. It wasn’t until he heard what, at first, sounded like crying that he hesitantly gazed up at you. Analyzing your facial features, he noticed that your face was not scrunched up in disgust, but rather into one of joy and laughter. You let out an airy giggle and reached to cradle his cheeks in your palms.
“Oh Ceddy, that was the mushiest and most cringe inducing poem you’ve written yet,” you said with a smile.
“I’m just glad that this one is about me.”
“Does that mea-”
It was at that point that you connected both of your lips and started to slowly initiate a deep and affectionate kiss. Sofia could be heard squealing behind one of the bushes across from you guys’ bench and that only made you giggle softly against Cedric’s slightly chapped lips. Which made the bumbling sorcerer swoon and lightly bring you into a hug,
Needless to say, that situation led to you both getting real familiar with each other. Only, this time, it lead to one of the most fulfilling chapters of both of your lives.
I swear that today I will upload a drawing
