Sunshine 2020: Prompt Six

[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 6: Indigo
Indigo is a rich color that is associated with a variety of things including: magic, experience, truth, dignity, virtue, dreams, profanity, inferiority, imagination, luxury, wisdom, spirit, destiny, elegance, intuition.

The world is full of magic things,
patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper —W.B. Yeats

What magic have you experienced in your life? Have you come to appreciate it differently as you grow older? What experiences have brought you wisdom?

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: write a letter to your younger self about things you’ve learned that relate to the indigo theme (can also be a character writing to their younger self).

It's honest and we all need to talk about the darker parts now and again. There's nothing wrong with that. ♥

[corvidology]

Mood Indigo because Duke Ellington. All other arguments are invalid.

[enemytosleep]

Hahaha can't argue with that now can I?

[ex_flameandsong751]

My poem for the challenge is in this DW post and also x-posted to A03.

[shipperslist]

So, now I want to cry and hug you and sit and stare at the wall at the same time. This was beautiful and the rhyming made it sound old-fashioned in a good way. Loved it!

[silveradept]

I went full on with the concept of magic, in a few different permutations of how it happens.

Visitors certainly welcome.

[enemytosleep]

Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences. ♥

[enemytosleep]

Oh man, Rainbow Brite is a callback.

Indigo

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

A picture and an old fic, both Sherlock Holmes related because indigo reminds me of Sherlock Holmes's dressing gown. Here is my post.

A little about magic

My brain just gave me a mashup of "Do you Believe in Magic?" and Cher's "Believe" and there is no explanation for it.
