Sunshine Challenge Day 6

Prompt 6: Amethyst
In the ancient world, Amethysts were believed to hold the power to purify the body, especially from drunkenness. It was also thought that they could help cure disease, and so Amethysts were used to draw any illness out. They have been associated with royalty, nobility and spirituality because of their purple colour. In modern times, they’re used as popular semi-precious stones and are either cut into faceted gems or carved. Amethysts are also the birthstone for February.

First off, I didn't sleep well last night, so my brain is not optimal today, so this is just going to be a bit of randomness, that you will maybe enjoy. Purple is my favourite colour, in it's honour please enjoy this McSpirk vid where Kirk is trying to convince Spock to accept Bones as their third. It uses a sparkly purplely overlay:

Secondly, enjoy this cute and funny OFMD fic there the crew of The Revenge think Izzy has been turned into a vegetable!:

Summary: A single artichoke appears onboard the Revenge, and Izzy Hands is nowhere to be found. Naturally, the crew draws the most logical conclusion.

Lastly, a music rec, Alittle by Romes (tw: mentions depression and possibly suicidal thoughts):

That Trek video made me very happy. I love the sparkly filter!

[kingstoken]

I'm glad you liked it.

Haha, the video is awesome. I didn't remember Kirk being a flirty tease all the time IN CANON, but thank you, fanvid creator, for reminding me. The amount of sexy eye action is dazzling! XD

And I'm saving the OFMD fic for later, thank youuu! The premise/summary sounds FANTASTIC. ♥

I'm glad you enjoyed the vid, I hope you like the fic!

The fanvid was a treat. I had a bit of a purple obsession as a child, and it's still one of my favorites now.

I'm really digging this song and will investigate more of this discography. Thanks for the share!

(and honestly, I love some of the more random responses as it often has such a fun mix of things within)

I'm glad you enjoyed the vid and the song. Romes is definitely worth checking out, they have great songs, I used one of their songs for a fanvid last year.
