Sunshine 2022: Prompt Three

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2022 challenge posts. Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!

If you are inspired to answer with art, vid, or other media, we’d love for you to share what you created. If you create any fanworks, feel free to add them to our AO3 Collection.



Prompt 3: Moonstone
Prized for its blue to white adularescence—a billowy, moonlight-like sheen—Moonstone has been closely associated with the Moon. The ancient Romans believed it was frozen moonlight, a gift from the goddess, Luna. Therefore, some consider it an alternative birthstone for those born on Monday, the “Moon’s day”. Due to this lunar association, as well as its calming influence, this gem is considered an excellent aid for those with trouble sleeping. Moonstone is a stone of inner growth and strength; it soothes emotional instability and stress and stabilizes the emotions, providing calmness. Because of all this, Moonstone is often associated with wisdom and dreams.



Bonus Prompt: Garnet


Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a novel or podfic that reminds you of the Moonstone theme.

Let's see if I can post a link correctly this time!

[scientistsinistral]

Giving myself an easier time than writing yet another fic because I know there's no deadline but I still haven't finished the ones I started for prompts 1 and 2, so instead I'veby linking to a fic I wrote a month ago for the film Dunkirk, which features a ship called The Moonstone. Just so happens that my last fic was set on and discussed that very boat!

[smallhobbit]

My response is a double drabble, featuring my favourite werewolf (who is basically adorable) here

I made another moodboard and shared an ASMR video of moonstone hunting on the beach.

=^..^=~

[silveradept]

Some loose lunar associations, and a quick discussion about Steven Universe's Garnet. Not necessarily quite so focused on the stones themselves.

Done!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Moonstone: "Pebbles from the River of the Moon"
Garnet: "Of Courage and Heroism"

[shadowhive]

Here’s my little thing

[enemytosleep]

I'm intrigued by moonstone hunting on the beach! Though I suppose rational thought would dictate that moonstone is a rock and therefore findable in nature. xD

[enemytosleep]

We love tangential thoughts here (especially when they lead to interesting conversations). Thanks for sharing!
