Prompt 7: Zephyrus

Kingstoken's Vid Reccing Extravaganza
I'm going off prompt here, because it is the last day of the challenge, and reccing all the vids that that didn't fit a particular prompt. I may have recced a couple of these vids before, so please forgive me, but hopefully you find something you enjoy!
( all the vids! )

Yellow makes me think of sunshine, which isn't such a great thing where I'm living right now, because we are on day eight, I think, of consecutive days over 30°C, and today with the humidity is supposed to feel like 41°C, yikes!

Fandom wise I thought of Jorah Mormont's shirt from Game of Thrones, he wore that shirt by itself, or under his armour, for 6 seasons. I read somewhere that the actor, Ian Glenn, was sad to see it go, when it was "destroyed" after the greyscale, and called it something like this faithful yellow. I went through my old tumblr posts to see if I had ever created anything celebrating Jorah's favourite shirt, and alas I never did, but I rectified that today, by creating this graphic



I'm still learning how to make different lettering effects in photoshop, but I think this one turned out pretty good, for something done on fairly short notice. When I was going through my older stuff on tumblr I found a couple Jorah related gif sets, this one about House Mormont, and this angsty one featuring different GOT couples, fun fact, only one of these couples made it to the end of the series. There was a time in my life when I made a lot of angsty gif sets.

Since I'm talking about Jorah and GOT, my fic rec for today is

Title: A Midwinter’s Night Dream of Bear Island
Author: clarasimone
Fandom: Game of Thrones
Rating: E
Relationships: Jorah Mormont/Daenerys Targaryen
Summary: After surviving the Battle of Winterfell, Daenerys and Jorah visit Bear Island on a diplomatic mission, but things don't turn out as expected when the Queen comes to realize what Jorah means to her.

This fic was written for me as part of the Jorlessi Equinox Exchange, they went above and beyond not only writing a fic based on my prompts, but incorporating part of own fic into the story! They write dream imagery very well and it has a very sensual feel to it.

Lastly, I couldn't decide between two songs recs for today, so I just decided to share both. The first one is "Happy Ending" by Mika, which is such an upbeat song about a sad topic, it's about someone realizing that the relationship between themselves and the person they love is not meant to be. Also, today is the first time I ever watched the official video, and it's weird, but in a delightful way.



I remember seeing a really good multifandom fan vid, about couples who didn't last or never got together, with this song a few years ago. I tried searching for it this morning, but unfortunately the one I remember didn't come up in the search results, so sadly it may be lost to the sands of time.

My second song rec is "Summer Sound" by Romes, which is just a fun summer bop, that makes me want to dance.
