I take it from the emoji we can parody any holiday?

Short answer? Ignorance... more complicated answer? Wildfire (they had it at least since Aegon IV - maybe before that since the Pyromancers kept it a closely guarded secret)

SO I just watched the new XG mv.... the world of K-pop (and maybe even just pop in general) has now fundamentally shifted. Bravo XG and all the creatives at that company. WOW!

@torey.bsky.social Hi! Sorry to bother you, but I'm in need of vocal talent for a WoT Idol Holiday special promotion? (We're on a hard deadline for this Sunday) Any chance you could lend your talents to a 30 second song? (Totally understood if other things have priority right now of course)

#WoTtober is approaching!
To all those curious, here is what it is all about!

An info card about WoTtober with white and light grey text on a black background. The title reads WoTtober. Below that is a frame with the following text:

"INFO & INSTRUCTIONS

This is for all The Wheel of Time loving content creators, be they artists of any kind, tiktokers, memers, photographers, musicians, videographers, roleplayers, podcasters, Shadowspawn, or anything in between and whatever your craft or outlet.

Join us in creating prompted WoT content for the month of October. To have fun and share our love for the books, the show and the fandom!

Rules are simple! Post something related to the day’s prompt (e.g. “Blight” on October 7th) and use the #WoTtober tag. (More info further in the thread)

October is a long month and there are a lot of prompts. If you know you won’t be able to do them all, no worries!

You can choose to only post every other day, once a week or just do one day of your choice! Your schedule is yours and the point is to keep it fun.

Every type of participation counts and is welcome!

If you’re up for the challenge, try doing all 31 days (+ the extra prompt)."

Below the frame are grey logos of Instagram and Bluesky, floating ober the text "#WoTtober". Next to it to the right are the organizers' socials: Instagram handles "Zuconart" and "Uno_aka_Cat", and bluesky handles "Zucon" and "UnoNomesta".

A similar info card about WoTtober with white and light grey text on a black background. The title reads WoTtober. Below that is a frame with the following text:

"PARTICIPATION & REPOSTING

In order to take part in this challenge, you need to create and post something related to the day’s prompt (e.g. “Blight” on October 7th) and use the #WoTtober tag in its description (double T!).

We will be following the tag in Instagram snd Bluesky, and sharing you creations.

Make sure to follow us on both platforms so you don't miss anything!

-But what if there are SPOILERS?

Everybody is free to create whatever they want for WoTtober. However, if your creation contains spoilers, please, use the #wotspoilers tag in addition to the #WoTtober tag. Those who do not wish to see potential spoilers, can mute the tag.

- What about time differences?

Everybody may tweet/post at their own time in their own timezone. We'll share your creations when we see them, so you might see different prompts being shared at the same time. This won't affect the challenge or your participation in it.

- What if I'm doing a different prompt challenge, e.g. Inktober?

There are many different types of prompt challenges for October, WoTtober being one of them. We will stick to our own and only share creations that are part of the WoTtober challenge.

- My creation wasn't shared by you!

We apologize in advance if this happens. We will try to keep up with the tag, but if we missed your creation and you'd like to have it shared by us, feel free to contact us about it or tag our account in a comment."
