Hi! Any plan on making another Peterpatter’s week later? Maybe with more specific themes (halloween, holidays, school, AU's week...) or something?
we’d love to!! there aren’t any specific plans yet since we’re still recovering from the amazing week we’ve had with all of you, buuuut let’s just say we HAVE been talking about a fall special as well as a christmas special. stay tuned ✨
for @peterpatter-fest day 4: marks
Luke noticed the way Reggie was always littered with marks
How fresh bruises always seemed to find their way to the mountains of his ribcage or the plains of his shoulder
Even as he tried to conceal them behind layers of flannel and leather
Hiding his face from those who were keen enough to notice anyway
Luke’s heart burned with anger as he thought of Reggie’s parents
Knowing they were the ones imprinting his friend’s skin with purple, green, and red
How could they hurt their own child so
How could they bear to strike him when he was so kind and good and a million other positive adjectives scattered across the floor of Luke’s brain?
Luke wished to leave marks of his own too
Replacing the fading contusions of hate with blooming bruises of love
He wondered how his mouth would mould to Reggie’s skin
How he would taste and what he would sound like underneath Luke’s tongue and fingertips
Maybe he could change the meaning of blotched skin with just a little more time
Luke noticed the invisible marks as well
How Reggie built a protective shell around his soul with his dorky persona
How he gave and never took
How he shook with silent sobs in the pitch black of the studio
How he was never convinced that he was loved
How he ached with it all
Luke wished to mend those marks too, he wished to sew the jagged rips in Reggie’s heart shut with a thread of letters, strung together into a song.
He wished to sooth the scrapes on his soul with a salve of a tender touch, affection flowing into his fingerprints
He wished to love his boy until the contusions on his countenance faded away into the lights of the stage and the thump of the bass and the strum of the guitar, until Reggie was whole again.
He could only hope that the marks of Reggie’s parents would be temporary, and that his would be permanent, forever captured in the Polaroid photos in their wallets and the space between their lips as they sang and the knowledge that they would always have one another, no matter what.

Happy Peterpatter week from your mods 🖤
"I'm taking a little break from writing." I said.
"I don't wanna burn out." I said.
Proceeds to write a drabble for the first day of @peterpatter-fest and might do more for the rest of the week...
Depending on where you live, Peterpatter Fest has either already begun or is only hours away! All of us are still waiting for the clock to chime 12, so that we can start.
We are so freaking excited. We have been hyped up by all of your posts, informing us you’re working just as feverishly on your works as we are. It has done wonders to our own creativity and it has been so inspiring!
Now we want to take this opportunity to remind you of a few things again, so we can make sure the following week will run as smoothly as possible:
We can’t wait to see what you’re all doing! We’re desperate for new content and we’re sure, so are you! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop them into our ask box!
Only one more week to go until the first Peterpatter Fest starts! Mark it in your calendars ladies, gents and nonbinary folks. (May 31st - June 6th) Are you as excited as we are? Working day in and day out so you can let your creativity and imagination run wild? We can finally share all our works that everyone’s creating and cherish and applaud all the amazing talent in this fandom!
You forgot the prompts or want to check out the original announcement? You can find it here.
Follow us on @peterpatter_fest if you're not doing it yet for more fun with our favourite chaos boys!
Don't forget to tag us when you start posting, so we can share your amazing work!
Also for everyone who’s planning on posting to ao3, don’t forget to drop your work into our collection. Just type in: Peterpatter_Fest_2021 under Post to Collections / Challenges.
What we wanna know is: What day are you most excited about? Which day sparked an idea that needed to be immediately worked on? What are you working on right now? What are you planning to post? Give us a one word tease if you want.
Let’s hype each other up until the day is finally here!
I just wanted to say that I found this while reading a fanfic that had this account/post linked. I've been struggling with writer's block for months. But I just wrote a drabble for this and I actually finished it! I just have to edit it now.
I just wanted to say thank you! I'm super excited for PeterPatter week and can't wait to post my works for it!
that makes us so happy to hear! we were on a voice call together when i found your message and we were all screaming a little bit because THIS is our goal. inspiring people to create and share and just have a good, positive time together.
thank you for letting us know and for participating! we can’t wait to read/see your works ✨
Just for clarification, can we choose one prompt from each day? Or do they have to be combined?
you can either choose one or combine them, however you like! we wanted to keep the rules pretty loose this first time so people can explore the themes and prompts in whatever way they like! so go wild ✨
When we post do you want us to @ you too or just tag peterpatter
i know you asked me this on @sunsetcurveofficial as well and i already answered, but to have to here too:
both is fine! please use the tag #peterpatterfest so we have everything collected it one place, and if you want to, you can tag the account as well, of course! other than that, feel free to use whatever tags you like to share your work with as many people as possible!!
Hi! There is a quote from my day 6 (for the sharing) ~ "But right now, he can’t. And Luke probably won’t come. Maybe they’ll get worried for him. He kind of hopes so. Maybe they’ll think he’s gone for good. Maybe they’ll forget about him." I can't wait!
ooohh my god, the angst - we’re in pain, but we also can’t wait to read the rest of it.
thank you so much for sharing and happy creating! ✨
Only two weeks left until our first ever Peterpatter week starts! (May 31st - June 6th) We’re already working feverishly on our fics and graphics/creations for each day, and we hope you are, too! If not, don’t fret. You still got 2 whole weeks left.We can’t wait to see what you all come up with to celebrate our two favorite dorks.
You can find the official announcement and all the prompts here!
Follow us on Instagram @peterpatter_fest for more quality content.
We’re curious:
If you’re writing, send us the last line you wrote for any of your fest fics! Alternatively, send us your favorite Peterpatter fics so we can share them with everyone else. Let’s give all the amazing creators and these two boys some more love.
hey! i'm thinking of getting involved, and have a question. are you expecting content for the fest to be romance based relationships between reggie and luke, or could it be friendship based?
hi anon! we’re happy to hear that you’re thinking of getting involved. to answer your question, we don’t expect the content to be romance based! it can be, and i suspect a lot of it will be, but there are loads of ways to enjoy a ship and it doesn’t necessarily have to be romance. if you want to create friendship based content for these two dorks, we’re very much looking forward to seeing/reading it!
happy creating 🖤
Hi! Will it be okay to share art that's been already posted but goes perfectly with the prompts?
hi anon! the goal is definitely to get as many new creations as possible, but if you have one for a prompt that really fits perfectly, then it would be okay to re-share it on that day. that way you also get new exposure to the art you put a lot of work into.
we do hope to see mostly new creative works that haven’t been posted yet, though!
✨ Welcome to the first ever Peterpatter Fest ✨
From May 31st to June 6th 2021, we’re holding our first Peterpatter week! It’s brought to you by some of your favorite (I’m sure) Peterpatter writers (@sunsetcurveofficial, @daintyduck99, @tiriansjewel, @psyduckappears, and @nuandia) - so if you have any questions, wishes, etc. just hit us up here on the blog or shoot us a dm. Now, let’s get right into it.
First off, can we just appreciate how absolutely beautiful and adorable the art is that @illgetmerope blessed us with? Lots of love your way. Now.
Who can participate?
Everyone! The goal is to share as many creative works together as we can during this fest. No matter what you’re good at or passionate about, it’s all welcome. Art, gifs, graphics, fics, playlists, moodboards, videos, podfics - we’re looking forward to all of it, and hope a lot of you join us to celebrate our two favorite dumbasses.
How does it work?
We got three prompts for each day that you can either choose from to create whatever you wish to create, or you can combine them, too. Really, you can go totally wild with them! If you write fic, you could also write a multi-chapter using each day’s prompt in your new chapters. Or you write drabbles. Or one shots. Anything is allowed and welcome. Just make sure to tag us, so we can share your work. #peterpatterfest
If you post your fics to AO3, there will also be a collection available that you can add to. We will share more info on that as we get closer to the fest.
You can also find us on Instagram @peterpatter_fest!
What are the prompts?
Ah yes, the most important question. We picked three for each day, to make this fest as accessible to all kinds of art as possible. One of the prompts is more specific, while the others are more open - feel free to interpret them in whatever way you like! We’re just asking you to tag accordingly.
