Sunshine 2021: Prompt Six

[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 6: Amphitrite
Amphitrite is the goddess of the sea, wife of Poseidon, and eldest of the fifty Nereides. She is the female personification of the ocean: the mother of fish, seals and dolphins. Poseidon chose Amphitrite from among her sisters as the Nereids performed a dance on the isle of Naxos. Refusing his offer of marriage, she fled to Atlas. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king. She also bred sea monsters, and her great waves crashed against the rocks, putting sailors at risk.



Bonus Prompt: Scylla & Charybdis


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 childhood memory or personal experience that reminds you of the Amphitrite 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. ♥

Water-themed art and fic self-recs here, some NSFW.

Oceans only was tricky. Some of the pictures are of sounds, but no lakes!

[impala_chick]

I'm excited to see your picture post!

Here's a Windows wallpaper that I absolutely adored when it turned up on my computer.

In the future, people will talk about in the same way they do Robert Graves, I fear. :p

[seleneheart]

I liked that fic a lot.

[shipperslist]

Turned out that I'm an inland fic writer.

[paulamcg]

Thank you for participating in this round, too, in any case! :)

In which I am caught up and talk about Florida, water, and how I am not fond of either of these things.

[paulamcg]

Thank you so much for taking part!

[kingstoken]

My post with three vid recs, two multifandom and one MCU, and three fic recs, one SPN, one GOT and one The 100. Everything is water related.

I admit I went a bit off the main theme, but I'd like to introduce you to Symbolist artist Carlos Schwabe here. :)

[tellshannon815]

If it's what the theme makes you think of, then it's good to share! Thanks for taking part

[pauraque]

For this I shared a Youtube video analyzing the connection between Debussy's orchestral composition 'La Mer' and Hokusai's print 'The Great Wave'.

[tellshannon815]

Thanks for sharing this with us!

[silveradept]

Defined By Your Relationship to Someone Else has some of the trope twists that I like and meta about the push and pull of being a fan in an increasingly fragmented media environment, and is ready for visitors.

[enemytosleep]

Thanks for taking part in this challenge. :D

[bleodswean]

I've wanted to do something with this Queen Conch for years! Thank you for the inspiration!

What news from the RIddemark?

I linked several of my favorite live cams from the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California to celebrate the ocean. Jellyfish, sea turtles and more!

Jellyfish are so cool to watch! Thanks for sharing :D

I've done it here: given links to those five fics by me (all HP) which are set at least partly at the seaside. The fourth fic is short. :)

[autobotscoutriella]

Wonderful! Thanks for joining us!

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I learned a little bit about the pigment ultramarine and so I did a moodboard and a villanelle about that. And there's a few sentences about places I've been swimming over the years.

https://stonepicnicking-okapi.dreamwidth.org/203037.html

[enemytosleep]

I am about to learn about ultramarine! Thanks for sharing. :D

[seleneheart]

I posted two piece of art: one new for this challenge that I just finished, and another that had never been posted before:
