Sunshine Challenge Day 6 & 7



Prompt 6: Hyacinth
Hyacinths symbolize jealousy, a desire for forgiveness, joy, and sincerity, depending on the flower color. Yellow hyacinths are linked to jealousy, purple flowers mean you're seeking forgiveness, and blue hyacinths are tied to sincere care.

I'm a little late with this one, I wasn't sure what to say at first, but over the past week I have been binge watching the first two seasons of Succession, and that show fits the jealousy prompt to a tee. The siblings are jealous of each other, and there is so much conniving and back stabbing, everyone is backstabbing everyone else. All the characters are terrible people to a degree, I wouldn't want to meet any of them, but my goodness they are compelling to watch. I'm trying to space myself out a bit, but it is so hard, I just want to see what is going to happen next.


Prompt 7: Zinnia
While Zinnia has many different meanings, it is usually associated with friendship, endurance, daily remembrance, goodness, and lasting affection. The Victorian meaning of Zinnia are thoughts of an absent friend or a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Since this is the last day I thought I would self promote my own stuff, I'm kingstoken at AO3, I write for a lot of different fandoms, but my recent obsessions are OFMD and Good Omens, and that will probably increase after Season 2, but I also have a lot of stories for Supernatural, Star Trek: TOS, among others. The cover art I've made for big bangs and my vids are over there as well. My tumblr is where I post my moodboards, banners, etc.

I am also a social media volunteer for Fanlore, if you're interested you can find us on Tumblr or the Dreamwidth feed [syndicated profile] fanlore_tumblr_feed, we work really hard on those posts so it would be nice if more people saw them.

I also moderate [community profile] fandomtrees, a yearly holiday gifting fest, so follow that community if think you might like to join us this year.

To kind of fit in with the prompt, if anyone wants to add me as a Dreamwidth friend feel free to do so. Outside of challenges, like Snowflake and Sunshine, I don't post a lot, maybe one a month, and I usually post about books I've read, TV and films I've watched, as well as the occasional fandom related stuff.

I had fun this year, and I hope you all have a great rest of your summer (if it's summer where you are). To leave you with something fun, here is a vid I made for this past year's Star Trek Holidays Exchange:

Thank you for all of the reccs! And the fanvid was really fun. I haven't seen TOS since I was a kid and the videos you shared this year are giving me some nostalgia feels. ♥
