Sunshine 2020: Prompt Three

[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 3: Yellow
Yellow is a bright color that is associated with a variety of things including: joy, enlightenment, enthusiasm, alertness, danger, clarity, summer, expression, deceit, cowardice, confidence, satisfaction, and optimism.

All I feel is celestial desire
A distant joy is dancing all around me
All I see is yellow in the spring air
How beautifully the color worked itself in —CITIZEN, “Yellow Love”

Yellow can be a polarizing color, for some invoking the bright joy of optimism ... while serving as a symbol of duplicitous gutlessness for others. When has yellow been a prominent color in your life? Were you torn in two directions, or was its meaning clear?

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: tell us a story that reminds you of the color yellow or one of its listed qualities.

Ahh, so cute and bright!

[ysabetwordsmith]

I have written a poem about leaves turning yellow.

Re: Done!

[impala_chick]

So wonderful to see that the prompt inspired you to write a poem!

[olivermoss]

Pictures of yellow

Visitors welcome!

[impala_chick]

Thanks for sharing!

[lightbird]

Done. Sunflowers, Big Yellow Taxi, and Avatar: The Last Airbender (again).

[impala_chick]

Really fun images!

[greerwatson]

Done here.

Gold (as opposed to yellow proper) and S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders.

[impala_chick]

I love that this prompt made you think of gold - and gold definitely has a strong association with The Outsiders!

Thanks for joining us! Data came to mind for me for this challenge, too.

[shadowhive]

Here’s my yellow post and it’s open for visitors!

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us!

That puppy picture is adorable.

[sportivetricks]

Done: scrap yarn bag, Scamander love, and the joy of highlighting. Welcome to all.

Yellow seems like a good point to give kudos to the mods/organizers on the color theme of this challenge. Thank you for bringing a whole sunny rainbow into my indoors life, which was growing more than a bit gray. ♥

[autobotscoutriella]

I'm so glad you're enjoying the challenge! We are too. Thanks for joining us! :)

[kalloway]

Some rambling about yaoi manga in 2005...

(drabble with sibling incest at the bottom of the post)

[impala_chick]

Oh I learned something new! And I like that interpretation of yellow as "risk" when compared to green or red.

[yarnofariadne]

Done!

[impala_chick]

Hooray, another drabble! Great use of the prompt.

[shipperslist]

Did the thing. Yellow is a complicated color.

[impala_chick]

Interesting, I appreciated reading your thoughts. Yellow is pretty loud and I realized I don't wear it either.

[writedragon]

I did the thing. Yellow = sunflowers (feel free to stop by and say hi). https://writedragon.dreamwidth.org/11840.html

💛

[oldtoadwoman]

It's so pretty!

[deerna]

another small icon spam and a few words about yellow!

[impala_chick]

Really lovely bright icons!

[smallhobbit]

Three things plus some fanfics inspired by yellow objects, even if the colour isn't directly referenced. Here

[impala_chick]

What a lovely collection of things! I associate yellow with the sun too.

[mythicmistress]

Well, this resulted in another short, negative post for me... I'm in a bad headspace again, fair warning to anyone who stops by.

💛

[oldtoadwoman]

Forcing yourself to be fake-positive when you're not feeling it can just make you feel worse. I respect your honest reflections.

[kingstoken]

Find my yellow post over here, which includes a fic rec, song recs and the wonder that is Jorah Mormont's yellow shirt.

💛

[oldtoadwoman]

I also liked the gifsets you linked to.

(I've almost never done drabbles before, so that's why I'm experimenting with them for all these prompts lol)

💛

[oldtoadwoman]

I like that you are experimenting with the medium you aren't accustomed to.
