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.

Once you’ve finished, 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. ♥

More fanart and some tiktoks HERE for folks interested.

[autobotscoutriella]

Ooh, I'm going to have to check out those tiktoks!

[olivermoss]

I did my usual, photos of mine that fit the theme

Bees, moss, flowers, urban nature, nature taking things back, etc.

[paulamcg]

Ooh, thank you for sharing more of your fabulous photos!

[smallhobbit]

A few music inspired ficlets, plus one featuring Pan, and my love of musicals and dance: here

[impala_chick]

Excellent contribution to the theme, thanks for sharing!

[impala_chick]

Really gorgeous art, thanks for sharing!

[shipperslist]

Did it! This was sort of difficult because if I included fics inspired by music, I could just link my AO3. Basically ALL my fic are inspired by music. So I limited it a bit.

[impala_chick]

I'm excited to check out your list, thanks for sharing! Music does provide a lot of fic writing inspiration for me too.

[pauraque]

Here's my offering: Recently taken pictures of birds and other nature.

[impala_chick]

Beautiful photo round up, thanks for sharing!

[kingstoken]

My post, where I give one vid rec and lots of fic recs, from a variety of fandoms, most of which are Supernatural. Marvel Comics, Good Omens and Trek.

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for sharing! I've been particularly fond of the video recs this month. :D

[sonofgodzilla]

This is my attempt at being playful! Ah, your mileage may vary. :p

[liriaen]

THAT is fantastic, if you don't mind me saying so. The flashes of backstory are currently exploding my eyes <3

[lightbird]

I recommended some numbers from the musical Pippin.

[kate]

Oooh, great take on the prompt! Thanks for joining us!

[bleodswean]

Tried to sketch - with words - a quick modern dress of the river scene.

https://bleodswean.dreamwidth.org/372366.html

And posted a fic on AO3 in which The Great Horned God ruminates on the goat-footed devil.

[kate]

Oh, those were both lovely! Thank you for such a wonderful use of the prompt!

[silveradept]

Listen To the Melody of Now is ready for visitors, where I try to make a brag and talk about how fandom's roots in the heart and feelings make it different than a lot of the world I see around me.

[kate]

Nice - that was a great read, and made me think, too. I was raised in one of those households where it was just understood that you don't brag about yourself, and I've always found it hard to do so - or even accept compliments gracefully. Took a while to learn, but I feel like I'm getting there.

Thanks for that, and congrats on all your own brags - those are all impressive in their own right!

[yarnofariadne]

As is my wont, I have yet again made everything about Dionysus.

[enemytosleep]

haha, and you are so valid! Thanks for sharing with us!

[pensnest]

Self-recs on the subject of Masturbation!

[enemytosleep]

THANK YOU (I rarely get to use my tongue-in-cheek Greed icon anymore)! I will check the actual recs later, just saw the notif on my phone and had to swoop in ♥

[sodium_amytal]

Posted a bunch of my playlists, ranging from fic mixes to character/ship-inspired mixes here.

[autobotscoutriella]

Wonderful! Thanks for joining us!

[mossy_bench]

Talked a bit about camping: https://mossy-bench.dreamwidth.org/8742.html

[bemused_writer]

It sounds nice to me; thanks for sharing!

[seleneheart]

I talk about Pan appearing in a classic children's book (not that one) and created a play list of pan pipes: https://seleneheart.dreamwidth.org/1273973.html

[autobotscoutriella]

Thanks for joining us!

[walgesang]

I was struck by a silly drabble idea: what if Pan was Luna Lovegood's childhood imaginary friend?

AO3 link here
post here

Also celebrating my 100th work posted to AO3! :D

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for sharing with us!

[paulamcg]

I've done it here: shared some excerpts from my old, chaptered HP fanfic featuring original faun and half-faun characters. :)

[tellshannon815]

Thanks for sharing these,loved them!

[cornerofmadness]

I have an ode to Pan right here.

[tellshannon815]

Loved those, thanks for participating!

[liriaen]

Hello, I come bearing two drabbles for Bibleslash and Borgia RPF/"Cesare" (Souryo Fuyumi), both rated G, no pain, no drama: this way.

[tellshannon815]

Thanks for joining us!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Just a moodboard for Pan.

https://stonepicnicking-okapi.dreamwidth.org/202385.html

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.

[enemytosleep]

Alligator Loki is ADORABLE.

[dr_zook]

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!

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for sharing with us!

[bemused_writer]

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]

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!

[aliensamba]

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)

[enemytosleep]

I have no idea what Ice Planet Barbarians are, but I'm VERY INTERESTED to learn about it now.
