#niloy november

Welcome to Niloy November 2023!
We’re glad you want to join the fun in our inaugural year! This is something I hope to generate every November for fans of Aloy x Nil, new and old.
What is it?
Above, you’ll find a table of one prompt per day of November, most of which contain special significance to the relationship between Aloy and Nil. For those participating, simply take the prompt and create something around it for that day.
What can I make?
Whatever you feel most comfortable creating!
If you’re a writer: a drabble, ficlet, even a poem! No word count minimum or maximum, but in the spirit of the event, I recommend no greater than 2500 words.
Artists can do sketches, doodles, fully rendered pieces, comic pages, whatever they are inspired (and have the time) to create.
Gif-makers, virtual photographers, and other types of visual media are also more than welcome to participate and we encourage it!
For prompts that limit gifs and virtual photography, alternates have been provided – though you are welcome to use the alternates for art and/or fic for the given dates, if they inspire you more.
In addition, you are not limited to one form of creation. If one prompt inspires art, another inspires writing, another has the perfect shot from in-game photography, feel free to mix it up!
The only ask is that whatever you create be new for the prompt. However the prompt inspires you, run with it! Some may feel “on the nose,” but those can be fun to explore metaphorically too!
What are the restrictions?
For fic submissions, please use the appropriate submission tags below the text box. All ratings are welcome provided they are properly labelled.
As per Tumblr guidelines, we cannot show any NSFW art or photomodes. If your submission contains NSFW material, please submit a suitable crop preview or censored version that can safely be displayed on Tumblr. The post will also, if possible, have a Mature community content label. This also applies for other types of Mature content.
Can I team up with someone for art or writing for a prompt?
Yes! Fics and art are welcome to inspire each other.
Where do I post?
Wherever you feel comfortable sharing. Fics should be posted on AO3 and you are welcome to share the link on your own social media or in a server. Mostly, I encourage you to submit it directly to the niloycentral tumblr.
If you have a Tumblr: You can submit it directly to niloycentral, or tag your post with either #niloynovember or #niloynovember23 – both will be tracked! You can also @niloycentral.
If you don’t have a Tumblr: You can submit the art or photomode itself directly, or link to your creation on other social media (Twitter, Instagram, AO3, wherever it is hosted) through our niloycentral submissions page using the following format:
Creator: your @(social media) or your alias
Prompt: what day/prompt you have submitted
Plus any applicable tags as per checkboxes below the submission area.
#niloynovember and #niloynovember23 will also be tracked on Twitter, but to make sure we see and catch everything, I encourage submissions to niloycentral Tumblr!
Do I have to do every prompt?
We don’t want anyone to get burnt out or frustrated. Some prompts will inspire more than others and we all have days where we just can’t. You definitely don’t have to do every prompt to be included! Your creation will be featured whether you do all 30, or 19, or 12, or if you even only do 1. You’re more than welcome to continue working on the prompts after November as well.
Do I have to do them in order?
No… but if you do submit to the blog for a prompt from later in the month, we will schedule your submission to post on the proper day (based on EST). Any submissions from previous-day prompts will be posted as usual.
Prompts are being released now, but we ask that you do not post until November 1.
Happy creating!

Niloy November Day 4: OT3
Since I posted Niloyakka for Smutober, have an excerpt of the WIP chapter of “equilibrium,” the Talanah/Aloy/Nil longfic I’m cocreating with @kittleskittle and @mythicaitt.
She sees Milu first and her stomach turns to stone.
And then the Sunhawk herself arrives, dressed in blue silks so dark they could be black, adorned with silver embroidery. There’s a band that crosses over her breasts and loops behind her neck, exposing her belly above a lacquered metal and silver belt and ankle-length pants the same style as her usual armour. A metal brooch sits in the middle of her chest, and her hair is in an elegant knot at the back of her head, rather than tied high.
She’s stunning. Aloy hasn’t ever seen her in dark clothes, and they only serve to flatter her beauty further.
She forces herself to look away and ducks behind chatty Marshals to not be seen.
With only moments to go before the ceremony begins, the sun creeping into position, he arrives with his group of riders – and Aloy gasps as he removes his mask.
His face is bare. Unpainted. His tattoos stand out against his skin as light filters into the clearing – and none of the Tenakth bat an eye. In fact, some pass by him and salute, a gesture he returns.
They know him, she realises. They know him and they don’t care that he’s from the Carja.
It takes her another moment to realise that his armour – and the face paints of the kids – has changed. It’s the same set, but the colours and patterns are different. Instead of the vibrant red and yellow spikes of the Desert Clan, his chest plate paint is deeper shades, and…
Chargers. Chargers and riders. Painted on, hardly realistic, but unmistakable, in deep shades of indigo and garnet.
It’s unfair that both of them look so lovely. Unfair that they’re so beautiful even when she wants nothing to do with either of them.
#SOME ANGST FOR SATURDAY#idk maybe i can pull a doodle out but maybe not#niloynovember#horizon forbidden west#hfw fanfic#talanah/aloy/nil#fic: equilibrium#niloy november#mine*writing#at least this chapter features the return of everyone’s favourite banuk himbo

Happy to see your “Niloy November” was a major flop! Probably because everyone knows “romance options” won’t happen, and ESPECIALLY neither will Niloy. Stay mad, bestie! 😘
(P.S. Stop putting your ugly gifs in the horizon forbidden west tag. No one wants to see them! Hope this helps!)
ok 👍
#woke up to this#really don’t want to turn off anon because on rare occasion i get nice words#and an anon’s analysis of a certain dlc that lives in my head rent-free#(i kept it in my inbox tbh)#but seriously. seriously.#the fuck is your problem#what exactly did you want me to say/do in response here?
