Sunshine 2023: Prompt Five

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2023 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: Goldenrod
Historically, Goldenrod has been used as a symbol of good fortune, growth, and encouragement. Because of its ability to survive in diverse, harsh environments, Goldenrod represents good luck and a pioneering spirit (pretty fitting given its origins in the meadows and pastures of North America).


Bonus Prompt: Orange Rose


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 Goldenrod 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 and let everyone know if 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. ♥

Read "Old Wounds That Refuse to Heal." Solidago Alejo rushes to the rescue, but things don't go as he expects.

I leaned into the “ability to survive harsh environments” part and set up a really simple fandom game of Would You Rather? for anyone who wants to play/answer!

[ysabetwordsmith]

This was so entertaining.

[kingstoken]

My post where I share a My Little Pony restoration video!

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I had fun watching this.

[dr_zook]

This time I cut the 'art' out of 'art history', but there is a Frenchman throwing well-equipped dogs out of hot-air balloons, in case you're interested. 🙄

*laugh*

[ysabetwordsmith]

So much fun.

[shipperslist]

Did the thing, sending encouraging thoughts and all the good luck for the protest march tomorrow.

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for taking part!

[silveradept]

A little bit about a crayon box, a little bit about imagined history, and a lot about fixed and growth mindsets and my personal experiences of life. Not as much about fandom this time. (Maybe I missed the brief.) Visitors are welcome, of course, all the same.

I did the prompt, however it's access-locked to friends only, so I shan't post it here.
(Tl;dr, it was about a personal religious holiday, capitalism, and hope for the future)
