Sunshine 2021: Prompt Five

[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 5: Pan
Part man and part goat, Pan is a nature god well known in many mythologies. Born in Arcadia to Hermes and a dryad, Pan was a precocious child whose goat’s feet and horned head delighted the gods, but startled the mortals he lived nearer to; Pan did not live on Mount Olympus, but rather in the forests and wilds of Arcadia. Pan famously invented a musical instrument: the syrinx, or pan pipes as they are more commonly known. He is known for his haunting melodies, and music was often a central part to his worship.




Bonus Prompt: Chimaera


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 tik tok, meme, or something similar that reminds you of the Pan theme.

But for the alternate prompt (Chimera). I can't say enough kind things about froodle who sews parts of different stuffed animals together at Cat's Chimerical Creations. If nothing else, check out Alligator Loki.

[lightbird]

Those are beautiful!

[enemytosleep]

Alligator Loki is ADORABLE.

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I know, right? They make some incredible critters.

[bemused_writer]

Excellent moodboard!

Alright, my post is here where I'm waffling a bit about Chimaera and I'm reccing a movie about a fantastic Australian artist worshipping Pan on stage and at home. Enjoy!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Thanks!

Got mine posted over here! I talk a little bit about The Last Unicorn, but mostly about Thief: Gold. I've included a spoilery review. It's in italics if anyone wants to skip.

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for sharing with us!

[enemytosleep]

OMG I love the Last Unicorn YAS

[autobotscoutriella]

I was going to do a whole list, but then I ran across one TikTok and couldn't stop laughing long enough to find other things, so...here's one. It's very funny.

[bemused_writer]

Excellent choice all around!

[cornerofmadness]

thanks

[enemytosleep]

I was hoping we'd get more tiktoks so YAY

here is mine.

I recommended 3 books, 1 YouTube vid, 1 audio clip, and 1 meme. I also made 2 picspams.

Fandom: Hozier, Peter Pan (2003), Barbarian Alien (Ice Planet Barbarians), Bridget's Bane (Icehome), Willa's Beast (Icehome), Hulk (2003)

The character of Peter Pan from Once Upon a Time wouldn't get out of my head, and he had a story close enough to the prompt that I decided to use him for a double drabble:
