Prompt 3: Bluebell
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.

I have to confess that I was at a bit of a loss of what to post for this day, so I decided to post some stuff about my favourite boys in blues Spones from Star Trek: TOS. Below are a couple of great spones vids:



This one's song choice is stellar for this pairing:



If you are looking for another Spones vid with a great song choice check out this vid rec list, it's the second vid.

Lastly if you still want some Spones feels, here is a playlist I made a few years back, I still like my song choices:

Purple is my favourite colour, although I usually prefer a darker purple than violet. Fandom wise I think of the Hawkeyes, Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, from Marvel Comics, purple is a colour heavily associated with them both, especially as a team. I love them, they are walking disasters (although probably Clint more than Kate), who are also superheroes with no superpowers. They love to roast each other, but, when the chips are down, they have each other's backs. They only graphics I've made are two of my icons:



I'm so far behind on the comics, my library didn't have any of the West Coast Avengers, then our provincial Interlibrary Loan Program experienced cutbacks, then when they finally came back Covid happened, but someday I will get to experience Clint and Kate again.

Today's other theme was what things are you able to offer others to bring a little sunshine into their lives? So I'm offering to make sunset portraits of people's fave characters, like the one I made for day one of the challenge. All I require is you provide a large, clear head and shoulders shot of the person, in the example below you will see the original photo I used to create the Castiel portrait:



I've only ever tired this technique with photographs of real life people, I'd be willing to try with animated characters, but there is no guarantee that it will work. Also, your finished image probably wouldn't have as nearly as many splatters, I went a little crazy with the splatters on Castiel's. I'm not sure how long it would take to make, I think can make one in less than half an hour, but real life happens, so be patient with me.

Next, is my last song rec of the challenge, "Best of You" by Andy Grammer, it is such an upbeat song about two people seeing the best in each other, which is such a nice note to end the challenge on.



Lastly, I made a spotify playlist of all the songs I recced for the Sunshine Challenge, it's a rather eclectic mix



This year's challenge wasn't as hard as I feared, when I first saw colour prompts I wanted to run screaming into the distance, but it all turned out alright in the end.

I realized today that I have never shared my fandom playlists here. So, all of these I created for either gift exchanges or fandom challenges
