Sunshine 2022: Prompt Five

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 5: Bloodstone
Typically dark green with red inclusions, Bloodstone is often used to increase one’s courage, motivation, and creative energy. It’s also beneficial for endurance and physical strength. The Ancient Greeks held the Bloodstone as a gem with glorious powers and referred to it as Heliotrope, which directly translates to Sunstone. If your birthday lies in the month of March (or if you are an Aries), you can count Bloodstone as one of your birthstones as a means of action and vitality.



Bonus Prompt: Peridot


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 tik tok, meme, or something similar that reminds you of the Bloodstone 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!"

I've selected a set of graphics in green (and also green/brown) in honour of peridot.

Part 5! Not quite sure about how this lands, but I can edit that a bit before I post the entire thing to AO3.

I read that Bloodstone's red spots can also symbolize the blood of Christ shed on the cross, and well my mind went first to the gutter, and then remembered this marvellous Lucifer/Jesus slash fic, haha. I'm not sure if I should take a bow, or make apologies. XD

Adding a small set of red-and-green graphics—though I tend to associate them with Christmas rather than gemstones.

Oh - you know, I kind of like the first two! The muted tones remind me of the bloodstone picture up there. But I really like the one on the left of the middle row of the final nine. Lovely!

The first two are certainly pleasant looking; but I had hopes (which I eventually fulfilled) of creating something brighter ... more Christmassy, basically.

That fancy one's a great favourite of mine, too!

Done!

A snippet from a work-in-progress for Galileo. The prompt worked well for events I'd just plotted in a longer story, following from events in a previous story. (Contains nightmare imagery in the form of death and gore.)
