Sunshine 2020: Prompt Seven

[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 7: Violet
Violet is a cheerful color that is associated with a variety of things including: originality, self-esteem, insight, poetry, discernment, understanding, creativity, music, perception, inhibition, and health.

Creativity doesn't wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones. — Bruce Garrabrandt

Insight, understanding, and creativity are some wonderful qualities to concentrate on for our final 2020 prompt. Here we ask you: what things are you able to offer others to bring a little sunshine into their lives?

If you are able, we encourage you to share the things you could offer as gifts. Maybe you can offer to make icons, fanmixes, sketches, or drabbles? Or to leave a kind word on someone’s fanwork? Maybe you are fond of gathering photos from the web or can share favorite recipes?

Don’t take on more than you can handle, but if you are able to share one nice thing for another participant, that would be great! If taking requests is not feasible, please do answer the prompt as you are inspired to. We’d love to see what you’re able to share. ♥

Once you’ve finished responding, 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. We encourage everyone here to aim to comment on two new journals if they are able (of course, you are welcome to do more!). ♥

I've had a Roger Miller quote stuck in my head all week:

Roses are red
   and violets are purple
Sugar is sweet
   and so is maple surple
-Roger Miller, "Dang Me"

I included the video of him singing "Dang Me" on my post as well as a few violet (and Violet) icons with my standing offer to make an icon for anyone who wants one.


The interesting thing about the vid is that he has to be lip-syncing (there's no visible microphone and I swear that is note-for-note the studio recording I listened to over and over again on a cassette tape as a kid), but he performs with enough spirit that if you didn't know better you might think it was live.

Re: 💜

[autobotscoutriella]

Those icons are so pretty! I love the Violet Parr one.

[lightbird]

I went with violet and purple on this one.

Videos and more "Avatar: The Last Airbender".

Excellent choices!

Beautiful poetry! Thanks for joining us!

[ex_flameandsong751]

I posted my poem directly to A03. Sorry it fits the color but not quite the theme.

[autobotscoutriella]

Nothing wrong with that! It's a lovely poem. Thanks for joining us!
