And that's the last day, I'll miss [community profile] sunshine_challenge. ♡ (I'm this late because I only found out that it was happening 17-ish days in. xD) As always, one not self-rec and one self-rec. :)

Summary:

Ciri’s knees almost buckle, the blood draining from her face and her scent going sour with pain and fear. He catches her by the arm reflexively, startled when she staggers, but that appears to make it worse. Geralt whips around to look at her when she can’t quite smother the pained sound in the back of her throat, but she instantly stands up straighter when she meets his gaze. She doesn’t pull out of Lambert’s grasp, though, just stands there, gritting her teeth and shaking.

Lambert lets go of her arm, takes a step back. “Does that hurt?” he asks, because he hadn’t even hit her that hard, what the fuck?

Ciri blinks at him, looking a little dazed on top of being ashen. “Isn’t… that why you did it?”

Rather abruptly, Lambert stops feeling anything at all.

 

(Lambert somehow became everyone he ever hated as a child.)

Prompt: “Does that hurt?”

facethestrange: (the witcher: ciri can do it)


Prompt 5: Goldenrod
Historically, Goldenrod has been used as a symbol of good fortune, growth, and encouragement. Because of its ability to survive in diverse, harsh environments, Goldenrod represents good luck and a pioneering spirit (pretty fitting given its origins in the meadows and pastures of North America).

One not self-rec and one self-rec again. :)

These sunny springtime blooms have several positive meanings. The meaning of a daisy flower can be purity, innocence, new beginnings, joy and cheerfulness. In the Victorian Era, daisies symbolized innocence, loyalty and an ability to keep things secret.

One not self-rec and one self-rec, as usual. :) (And yep, they were both created for the same exchange, and they both happen to be Star Trek fanworks that feature berries and an adult & kid friendship, which was really fun to discover after reveals. :D ♡)

In the language of flowers, the bluebell is a symbol of humility, constancy, gratitude and everlasting love. It is said that if you turn a bluebell flower inside-out without tearing it, you will win the one you love, and if you wear a wreath of bluebells, you will only be able to speak the truth.

[community profile] sunshine_challenge has been going on for like 17 days before I found out about it, lol, and now I'm finally doing it. :D



Prompt 1: Iris
They can represent faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration. Specific flower colors attach further meanings to the pretty blooms. Purple iris brings a message of wisdom and compliments, while a bouquet of blue iris blossoms speak of hope and faith.

I'm going to be reccing two fanworks that make me think of the prompt - one not self-rec and one self-rec.

Day 10: Reserved for one or two questions from Day 3! (Part 2)

What piece of fanfiction would you like to see turned into canon? BONUS: If you're a writer or artist, what work of YOURS would you like to see canon?

I'm not choosing from other people's stories (there are simply too many to choose from, and tbh if I loved a fic there's at least 90% chance that I want it to be canon xD), so I'm doing the bonus. Writing-wise, I would love New (Yellowjackets) to be canon because there are never enough time travel fix-its as far as I'm concerned, especially the Peggy Sue type. :D Drawing-wise I'm possibly cheating because a crossover can't actually be canon in most cases. xD But I'm still choosing Quentin from The Magicians and Grace from Skins and their Escape from the Underworld - not only it's a fix-it for both of their stories but also I'd LOVE to see these characters interact, they can have a very similar energy/vibe. :D
facethestrange: (higurashi: ni-paa!)


Day 8: Tell me something about the last fandom thing you wrote. Or the last thing you read. Or the last thing you recced. Or all of them.

I'm only a very occasional writer, so the last thing I wrote was in January - New, a Yellowjackets drabble. I always gravitate towards the Peggy Sue trope (a type of time travel fix-it) as a reader, and this is the first time I've written it myself. :D

On the other hand, I draw a lot more than I write. xD The last thing I drew was my [community profile] intoabar entry, Far More Interesting (Rika Furude from Higurashi meets Julia Wicker from The Magicians). It's my first Higurashi drawing, which is exciting. :D Funnily enough I had written Higurashi (well, gave it literally one line in a crackfic) before I drew anything, which has only ever happened with a tiny handful of fandoms. :)

The last (fandom) thing I read is still Unfun Detour by withthekeyisking - a Magicians fic that was the last exchange gift I got before going on vacation, and was also a highlight of my day when I got it. ♡♡♡

The last thing I recced was this piece of The Witcher fanart by craftgamerzz over at [community profile] fanart_recs - an absolutely adorable comic about Jaskier, Geralt and baby griffins. :D
facethestrange: (stock: beach: seagull)
➽ I'm baaaaack! ♡ I legit missed every single one of y'all and I can't wait to see what you've all been up to. :D I'll be sharing random photos and stories for the next few days (or, more likely, weeks). :D

➽ It was my birthday yesterday, for which I got myself a pin saying "It's My Birthday". :D The highlight of it - the 10-hour bus ride back. :D (No, really, I absolutely unironically love long bus rides, and train rides even more so! ♡) The highlight of that - lip-syncing to I Will Always Love You and other songs the driver was playing. xD Also clouds! ♡

➽ Two creator reveals happened while I was gone, so have some of my art. :D
