Sunshine 2020: Prompt Two

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2020 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 2: Orange
Orange is a warm color that is associated with a variety of things including: excitement, vitality, invincibility, speed, vigilance, dedication, loyalty, family, success, friendship, power, change, harvest, and warmth.

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over. — F. Scott Fitzgerald

Orange can be the warm sunrise after after the darkest night. It can be the bountiful harvest at the end of your hard work. When was a time where dedication and vigilance have reaped their rewards? What future harvests excite you?

Please feel free to answer in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it a memory you share or an artwork you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: paint or share a picture that evokes the theme of orange.

Woo, I have a lot for this one due to my love of warm color schemes. :P

Done here, featuring plenty of art, some slightly NSFW.

[impala_chick]

Those warm colors are pretty! I like the warm/comfy vibes in a lot of them.

Balthier, Anyone?

[enemytosleep]

Here is a post talking about Final Fantasy XII with some images as well.

Re: Balthier, Anyone?

[impala_chick]

It's really neat to see how certain colors remind people of certain fandoms. I appreciate the pictures!

[olivermoss]

Photos of Orange. Another challenge! Especially since I wouldn't let myself count browns as orange, even though my color theory book does count it.

Vistors welcome

[impala_chick]

These are really great! I like the variety and the composition.

[lightbird]

Done! In which I talk about "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and show some appreciation for orange kitties.

[impala_chick]

It's so cool to see how you linked the color to a fandom!

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

Okay, I've got two posts socializing and challenging Pick your preference, naturally both is an option too.

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us!

[bemused_writer]

I got mine posted here! I talk a bit about ATLA and some things found in nature. ^^

[autobotscoutriella]

I love your icon, it's so cute.

(Also, yay! Thanks for joining us!)

[lilly_c]

This way for an old art project and more new icons.

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us! That art piece is gorgeous.

[shipperslist]

Oh my, orange is such a lovely color.

[autobotscoutriella]

It is indeed! Thanks for joining us!

[cerulean_fish]

Here One photo and a link to a video.

[autobotscoutriella]

That's a lovely photo! Thanks for joining us!

[shadowhive]

Here is mine rambling about orange things and it’s very welcome for visitors!

[autobotscoutriella]

Awesome! Thanks for joining us!

Your icon makes me smile. BB-8 is definitely very much shaped like a friend.

[kingstoken]

You can find my orange post here, where I give you a song rec, a vid rec, and a rec for an A03 collection.

[enemytosleep]

There is a lot of lovely autumn content here!

[tippetariuswrites]

Got my orange post! Couldn't think of much to say, but at least it has a picture of Marlin and his son Nemo.

[enemytosleep]

Nemo is always a solid choice.

2020 ✹ Sunshine Challenge

[oldtoadwoman]

I've been pondering a post about Orange is the New Black as well, but I have so many conflicting feelings about it.

[isabellerecs]

Well this was harder than the last one, but it is done none the less. :D https://isabellerecs.dreamwidth.org/251936.html

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Yeah, red was probably the easiest one. Good job finding orange recs.

[writedragon]

Done! Come by and say hi if you like. My fannish association with "orange" involves Doctor Who. https://writedragon.dreamwidth.org/11557.html

2020 ✹ Sunshine Challenge

[oldtoadwoman]

Love it!

[sportivetricks]

Done! Ron Weasley/Burrow love + a sappy personal note

Welcome to all. :)

2020 ✹ Sunshine Challenge

[oldtoadwoman]

The Burrow is the best!

[walgesang]

Orange as the color of fire from the perspective of a former firefighter. Visitors welcome!

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Very cool pictures!

[ex_flameandsong751]

I posted a fluffy little fic here. I have my comments set to access-only for mental health reasons (though I'm tentatively open to new adds) but the fic is also over on A03.

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Yay for snuggling-by-the-fire fic!

[corvidology]

Federico García Lorca's The Song of the Barren Orange Tree

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

That's a very striking poem. Glad you shared it; I hadn't read it before.

Orange is for Weasley!

[alessnox]

https://alessnox.dreamwidth.org/43989.html
Did it!

Re: Orange is for Weasley!

[oldtoadwoman]

Very cool! Love the Weasleys 🧡

[thewriterinpink]

I didn't bother posting a link when I wrote for the Red prompt, so I'll do it here too:

Red post: https://thewriterinpink.dreamwidth.org/10582.html

Orange post: https://thewriterinpink.dreamwidth.org/10797.html

Anyone can come if they like, just know I'm very shy but open to communicate. ^^

❤️🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[silveradept]

Orange, for me, usually means animals, and that means Calvin and Hobbes and Ozy and Millie. With guest appearances from Aang and Rena Rouge. It's another ramble, but the last one went over all right, so maybe this one will, too.

Visitors definitely welcome!

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

I love Calvin and Hobbes!

[pauraque]

For this one I shared the song Orange Colored Sky and talked a little about what thoughts it evokes for me. Visitors welcome!

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Nat King Cole had an amazing voice. Excellent choice!

[muccamukk]

Ready for visitors.

I ended up talking about healing and change in the fandom community, and how that's altered the reception of self-insert power fantasy stories, and I don't know either?

[oldtoadwoman]

Thank you for sharing that. It was really thought-provoking.

[peasina]

Inspired by others sharing their orange works, I've posted three fanmixes featuring Mr. Orange (from Reservoir Dogs) here on my journal. One has a very orange cover! Visitors are welcome.

I'm still working on something for the red challenge, which is similarly only vaguely linked to the theme - I hope that's ok!

🧡

[oldtoadwoman]

Definitely ok. :-) There are no deadlines here and we're all for vaguely-linked-to-theme posts. The prompt is to post what the color makes you think of and sometimes our brains go on interesting tangents. (And I love being able to check out new music from people's playlists.)
