sunshine_challenge | Sunshine 2022: Prompt Four

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 4: Kyanite
Kyanite typically ranges from light to dark blue (which gives it its name, from the Greek kyanos) and usually appears in sprays of bladed crystals. It is usually associated with calming, grounding energy, and sometimes linked to clarity and logic as well. It's a lesser-known gemstone that you won't often see in jewelry stores, but can be a beautiful, steadying presence among flashier stones.

Bonus Prompt: Hematite

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 song or fanvideo that reminds you of the Kyanite theme.

I'll come to kyanite later (since I certainly have blue graphics)! First, though, I've got a set of background tiles in black, white, and grey, using the prompts of moonstone and hematite.

From:

enemytosleep

I love how you've been combing certain prompts (and I could see possibly kyanite and amethyst going together ... curious to see what comes next).

From:

Kyanite: "Dividing the Paths"
Hematite: "Justice and Blood"

From:

Those shards made me think of the Fortress of Solitude, so here's some icons from Smallville and Superman and Lois:

Those are beautiful icons! The kyanite shards made me think of the Fortress of Solitude, too.
