Sunshine 2021: Prompt Four

[enemytosleep]

Check out the Master List to find links to all of the 2021 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: The Furies
The Furies, also known as the Erinyes, are a trio of vengeance deities whose immortal task is to hear complaints of insolence from mortals—and to punish those crimes by hounding the culprits relentlessly. They are said to focus on punishment for lying, killing, or sinning against the gods, but any lawbreaking was indeed punishable by them.

“Alecto was the oldest, unceasing in anger. Megaera was next, retaliator of jealousy, and Tisiphone, the last, regarded as the avenger of murder.”
― Elisabeth Naughton, Stolen Fury

Maybe you are inspired by Alecto (“the implacable one”, incites war), or perhaps Megaera (“the envious one”, vengeance) speaks to you, or maybe even Tisiphone (“avenger of murder”, guards the gates to Tartarus) – however you want to interpret the prompt, we’d love to hear from you!




Bonus Prompt: Typhon


Please feel free to respond in whichever way comes naturally to you, be it thoughts that you share or a work that you create. If you’d like a more specific idea to kick things off: share a song or music video that reminds you of the Furies theme.

More fanart and some anime HERE for anyone interested!

[peasina]

Woohoo, looks like I'm grabbing that bonus prompt again :-D

Typhon had me thinking snakes, serpents, and all things slippery and scaly. I podded a post-canon Harry Potter fic about Harry's parseltongue and his appreciation for snakes. My journal post about it is here!

[olivermoss]

Can I do murder vibes post using photos I've taken?

Challenge accepted

[emmatheslayer]

3 arts I colored

[greerwatson]

Another self-rec on my journal here. "The Siege of Hastings" is a Forever Knight story set during the Hundred Years War. It stars three vampires and there are three Furies: seems appropriate, no?

[shipperslist]

Rage and revenge, got it!

[sonofgodzilla]

I am compelled at every opportunity to draw lines between dots that really don't need connecting at all.

[bleodswean]

Oooooh - this is a GOOD prompt! I'm going to get it on the brain needles. In the meantime, have a salty fic I penned a few years back. Macbeth's Witches are often interpreted as The Furies.

My brief thoughts on the Furies here

[yarnofariadne]

I'm self-reccing here! ♥

[kingstoken]

My post where I do something a little different and rec songs by women artists.

[pensnest]

Here, with some self-recs, some musings and a glitterbomb.

[silveradept]

Euphemistically, The Gracious Ones invites you to consider both what words you use to avoid saying others in fandom and to be careful about the use of the power to incite and the power to disguise, because of the possible consequences that result. Ready for visitors, hopefully not furious ones.

[lightbird]

Done! I did another self-rec, in the Hey Arnold! fandom this time. :)

[pauraque]

For this prompt I wrote about that time I was in The Eumenides with Daveed Diggs. Enjoy!

[dr_zook]

I'm blathering about another 19th century painter *points at icon*, also about Orestes here. :)

[walgesang]

I wrote a drabble about young Alecto Carrow (HP Fandom) trying to steal her first wand at Ollivander's.

[liriaen]

I come bringing three 'Cesare'/Renaissance RPF drabbles, one for each Fury, and with a set of warnings for various triggers.

[shadowhive]

Here’s my brief one

[paulamcg]

Sunshine makes me try crazy things. I've painted a picture of Typhon and Harry Potter. (It's here in the AO3 collection.)

[aliensamba]
