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.

Once you’ve finished, leave a comment to this post saying you’ve done it! Include a link to your pages if you feel comfortable doing so to let everyone know you are "Ready for visitors!" Most importantly, please check through the comments and go visit new journals, comment on their shiny posts, and maybe make a new friend or two. ♥

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.

A meditation on dualism and especially the mind-body duality. Contains philosophy, religion, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, and Vulcans. Have fun!

Done. A small blurb and a bit of a stretch, but I managed to stick with my theme. :)
