Sunshine 2020: Prompt Four

[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 4: Green
Green is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: awakening, growth, renewal, productivity, intelligence, exuberance, prosperity, money, luck, envy, greed, survival, nature, spring, and birth.

Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises. —Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Green can be the fresh growth of spring plants after a long winter. Green can be the good fortune waiting for you around each corner. What green things have you enjoyed this year?

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: share with us some books or fanworks that remind you of the color green or its related themes.

Mostly GIFs from Game of Thrones and Moana here. Visitors always welcome!

[autobotscoutriella]

Those are lovely GIFs! Thanks for joining us!

[ex_flameandsong751]

I posted a fic about the Ring of Barahir (set with emeralds) over on A03, and have a corresponding post with a link to the fic and appropriate warnings on my DW. The DW post also shares the song that inspired the title.

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us! I enjoyed the song.

[specter_rot]

I did the thing and I really hate that this is what green made me think of.

[autobotscoutriella]

I didn't even make that connection until I saw your post - though now green will definitely have that association for me again!

Thanks for joining us!

Hi! Multi fandom Icons and some talk of Narnia.
Visitors are welcome!

[enemytosleep]

Tons of great icons, and some beautiful photos as well! Thanks for sharing.

[pauraque]

Done! I shared an old video of questing for green fire in World of Warcraft, and a bonus green-shirted selfie. :)

[enemytosleep]

Both are good shares!

[lilly_c]

This way for a mixed bag, visitors welcome :)

[enemytosleep]

You always have interesting shares!

[silveradept]

Green, with a lot of different meanings, but ultimately I settled onto worldbuilding about the color (or rather, its lack) in the Dragonriders of Pern.

Visitors-ready.

💚

[oldtoadwoman]

Very interesting.

Done!

[lebateleur]

I was really excited about answering this one.

Re: Done!

[oldtoadwoman]

There's something satisfying about a pretty notebook and pretty ink.

[arias_hollow]

Here's my piece for this one!

[enemytosleep]

Another lovely drabble, as well as some good musings on green!

Green!

[writedragon]

I did the thing! Good Omens fan art, garden pix, and links to photos of my art journal, plus bonus Kermit the Frog. https://writedragon.dreamwidth.org/12143.html

Re: Green!

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for sharing!

[paulamcg]

My post is here: just welcoming, and offering two fics that the colour green made me think of.

[enemytosleep]

Some meaty HP fanfic for those in the fandom. Thanks for sharing!

[goddess47]

Okay, I squeezed a green reference into my Teen Wolf fic... at least I'm writing!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25286731

[autobotscoutriella]

Yay! Writing is definitely an accomplishment.

Teen Wolf isn't my usual fandom, but I'll check out your fic! Thanks for joining us!

[cornerofmadness]

You can find all sorts of greenery here.

[enemytosleep]

Oh I feel like this will be a good one from you.

[stellar_dust]

My post has spoilers for shitpostsampler.

[impala_chick]

I've never heard of the tumblr you referenced, but I really like that mix of colors! Plus, you can never have too much soup :)

Green

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I posted my progress on the July Mystery Stitch Along [cross stitch] from Shitpost Sampler. And a Good Omens poem about lockdown.

My post is here. And I'm caught up! Yea!

Re: Green

[stellar_dust]

Yay, someone else doing the stitch-along!

[alaterdate]

More Dragon Age associations lol. Picture links, fanart by me, and a fic rec -> Here

[enemytosleep]

*Dragon Age curiosity intensifies*

[zorealis]

I started out thinking of the nauseous emoji, but quickly ended up reminiscing about final fantasy.

[enemytosleep]

*chocobo music plays as I click over to read*

[isabellerecs]

It is done with only hours to spare ;). https://isabellerecs.dreamwidth.org/254720.html

[enemytosleep]

Haha technically we have no deadlines, but I totally get wanting to be current!

[autobotscoutriella]

In which I ramble about a Transformers rarepair and share a picture of my green-eyed cat.

💚

[oldtoadwoman]

kitty!

[bemused_writer]

A little late, but I got my challenge filled out over here! I talk about a book I'm reading on leprechauns along with some other childhood favorites, The Wizard of Oz and Sleeping Beauty, a song suggestion, and the natural world.

💚

[oldtoadwoman]

You mentioned grasshoppers and it made me think of these cookies called "Grasshoppers" that I used to eat when I was a kid (do they still make them?) so now I'm craving mint cookies for no actual reason.

[tellshannon815]

Green and the idea of Home Base.

[bemused_writer]

Very interesting entry. I enjoyed reading it.

[runpunkrun]

I went out in the yard to find something green and came back with a photo of a maidenhair fern!

💚

[oldtoadwoman]

Thanks for sharing your pretty pictures. (I think the yellow sunflower is still my favorite.)
