Brimstone Winter
This page is a gem.
Brimstone Winter is an event lasting through January on soyjak.party, where 'teens try to create as many new soyjak variants as possible in the hopes that a gemmy variant is created. It is characterized by people spamming their variant:unknown jaks, usually brimstone, to see whether or not they stick. This jaks are lovingly referred to as brimjaks. Even though most Soyteens do not have the ability to create a variant above iron, it lets newGods get their OC shilling out of their system and encourage Soyteens to practice their jakking and editing skills. During Brimstone Winter, soyteens will often use their Brimjaks during raids.
Origins
In December of 2022, the sharty was still experiencing an influx of new users which subsequently lead to a constant flow of newjaks, most of which were coal. At this time there was also a movement of older users who lamented over how there has been almost no new variants that became established as gems over the past year. This all culminated in the "Brimstone Winter" at the start of the new year. The goal of this movement was to pump out as many jaks as possible in hopes that a gem would be made. Brimstone winter caused rage in users who did not understand what was going on, making it very controversial.[1]
Brimstone Winter 2023
Unfortunately, much of the brimstone winter generals have been lost in the in log warehouse due to many of the threads in January and February being improperly archived. On the booru, these jaks can be found under the "varaint:unknown" tag making up posts within the late 20000s and early 30000s.
2chan Raid
On January 2nd, 2023, brimjakers decided to raid 2chan. Ironically, the users of 2chan seemed to react more positively towards to brimjaks than most soyteens did at the time. They even made some edits of the brimjaks being posted on 2chan. No one knew what they were saying for certain due to the language barrier. [2]
Brimjaks of 2023
Soylady
Main article: Soylady
Soylady is considered the first brimjak, being one of the few to predate 2023. It depicts an obese woman holding a bottle of Soylent. While NAS, many people enjoyed having a femjak to use.
SusJak

Susjak is based off a Jerma985 meme. Susjak acted as the flagship for the movement and to this day there is a rouge SusJak every so often on the catalog of /soy/. There was also a color version sometime called "variant:unknown"
FairyJak
Absolute brimstone that caused massive seethe, which encapsulates the movement.
DrossJak
Oh my god she so attractive!
PeakyJak
Another olderjak associated with brimstone winter.
KliksJak
This jak predates the brimstone winter movement but was heavily used during the event.

A well-known Jak to come out of the tail end of the movement. Probably the only true success story to come out of brimstone winter.

Ending
After the long most of jakking and spamming, Brimjakers agreed to end the event on the last day of January and allow any successful brimjak to survive if worthy of being a gem rather than being forced.
Brimstone Winter 2024:

Brimstone Winter 2024 began with the goal off pumping out as many jaks and edits as possible in order to create a gem. After the Soypocalypse, a large number of the members involved in Brimstone 2023 were no longer around, however there were a still many 'teens looking forward to Brimstone 2024 and posting threads in preparation. Most of the variants and edits to come out of Brimstone 2024 fall between Booru posts 60100 - 61600. Unfortunately, this event was not recorded very well at its happening, and expert soientists and archeologists are conducted research to uncover the whole truth.
Anticipation
It was initially believed that Poopson would release around this time, however due to unforeseen circumstances it released early in the form of Brojak.
Slow Start
Due to site turbulence and a lower number of OC producing 'teens, Brimstone Winter 2024 did not have the explosive start it had in 2023 and did not reach the same heights. Despite this, plenty of brimjakers got to test their stuff and cook up brimeralds just as dusty (gemmy) as last year.
Raids
While not to the same scale as Brimstone Winter 2023, there were still several notable brimraids. This includes raids on 2chan, 4chan, crystal.cafe, and a few other altchans. Unfortunately like in 2023, there are not many screenshots of the raids.
BrimJaks of 2024
SherkJak
A jak created to be used during Brimstone Winter 2024, and nothing else. It was based off of Sherk from the Sherk animated movies.
Npestajak
Npestajak was commonly spammed during Brimstone Winter 2024.
ParrotJak
ParrotJak had many split opinions on it with some claiming it to be a gem but most other claiming it was Brimstone. It fell out of use in about 2 months. It was traced from a parrotfish.
Meximutt
Meximutt while being propelled by the variant shilling trend of Brimstone Winter was also a response to the creation of Euromutt a few months earlier. While many soientists argue its relevancy to Brimstone winter, claiming it to be purely a construct of Booru race warring, its proximity to the event and its use in Brimstone Winter 2024 gives it a strong claim to being one of the brimjaks. As of mid 2024, it is the most relevant variant to come out of Brimstone Winter 2024.
Other Brimjaks (YOU) will do research on and find
Clapjak, two soyjaks gaping, and biscuitjak. Minus8son
BrimFairy Bait
One of the largest trends during Brimstone Winter 2024 was BrimFairy Bait. Starting the prior Brimstone Winter, BrimFairies are created by flipping a jak upside-down, putting an anime face on it, and turning it into a fairy. Because of their brimstone qualities, posting them would almost guarantee replies. They were also heavily used in soyquoting at the time because no one want to be depicted as a BrimFairy.
