#august poetry prompts

[bluedalahorse]

hiiii here my suggestions <3

August - The Hanged man (back-ups: Death, The Hierophant)

back-up characters:

Sara - Judgement (back-ups: The devil, the fool)

Felice - Weel of fortune (back-ups: Strength, Judgment)

Looking forward to your beautiful thoughts 💭

You sent the first ask! So you win your first choice and I wrote something about August and the Hanged Man. :)

I did some poetry inspired by the vocabulary of tragedy. Tumblr isn’t great with poetry so I’ll post screencaps first and then the actual text under the cut for people using screenreaders.

If anyone else wants to send me prompts, the original post is here.

Screencapped version of the poem:

Copied and pasted version of the poem below the cut!

Peripeteia

Before the sentence is read, 

August remembers 

his first year: 

literature lectures, 

scribbled Ancient Greek on a page.

His father’s fountain pen bled too much ink 

and smeared the paper

with his fingerprints. 

August shook his stained hand, 

ignored the throbbing protest 

in his knuckles. 

He resented this weaving 

of identity 

and definitions.

peripeteia: a reversal of fortune

Later in the gym, 

Erik quizzed him 

on the vocabulary of tragedy. 

August lay flat 

on the inversion table 

(the cold bottom plank 

of a poor man’s casket) 

and Erik, crowned eternal, 

urged just trust me 

before tilting August backward. 

Next came the blurred vision, 

the face hot with blood, 

the clicks of realignment: 

disc on top of 

disc on 

top of 

disc.

Perhaps 

soon enough 

August will understand 

what comes of a soul 

or a spine 

turned upside down.

He is still uncertain 

whether love 

was his hamartia 

or an anagnorisis.

Before the sentence is read 

(and it can only end 

in a full stop) 

August can choose to close his eyes, 

summon up the pressure 

of a phantom palm flat 

on his diaphragm, 

and breathe 

into the waiting.

Nosebleedclub 8/22 Prompt ii:

I’ve been thinking

I’ve been thinking I don’t write enough.

And I’ve been thinking something over nothing, even if fluff.

I’ve been thinking I used to do so much more

And I used to be someone I liked, maybe even adored.

I’ve been thinking ink is thin.

I’ve been thinking, blink and grin

Because I’ve been thinking there is quite a lot.

That someone thought I should be, but I am not.

[onewhosenamewaswritwithwater]

I have wondered of where Aiaia lies, false and ungrateful for its epics do not lie.

Where Ariadne dances in her timed and wicked circles, falling apart on broken bricks. 

A sweet yellow and a sickly gray shine to her at nightfall, undisturbed by her aunt's presence, undisturbed by all. 

The Golden Fleece she has parted and never dares to flee for it will never touch her borders or her time to see. 

Preparation, evening, tea. 

She thinks of her brother trapped so deep below with knives as teeth and hooves as feet.

She does not know he will outlive her in

Epics and their tales 

For he is Minos’ heir despite no plunging relational care. 

I think of Aiaia often for her great and honest despair which rocked each hero from his nest and settled him far away on cliff’s side and shadow’s bare

Its license of deserted land brings gifts of sweetest pain, excitement curdling brain leaks with sight of what is there.

Ariadne will steady our forgotten tale in time spent over tea, berries cure her inside thoughts and shake loose my mortal treaties.

“Text me when you’re home.”

“Have my olives (I hate them anyway)”

“Try this”

“I dreamt of you”

I accept that you will invariably hurt me; but you’re worth all the sunrises, shared sunsets. My best, my worst.

3

Invariable hurt

Worth all the

4

Total acceptance

5 Self Love in 20 words Or Less

Stop settling and giving chances to a boy that you mean nothing to. You deserve the world. Act like it.

[fruitfulodyssey]

It's fall

the wind blows gentle

embracing the skin

comforting the soul

lost in a maze of thought.

Confined to the past

reading every note

ever written

& every note

that never made a sound.

Digging a little deeper

to feel the lips that

voiced them intimately,

A sweet breath still

Lingers on the paper

Soaking in the fall

& yellow leaves.

"Comfort me"

Radiates from me as I read.

Sadly, these are just memories.

#now this number may seem way off or out of nowhere if youve kept up with this series or even if you see these prompts in passing #the reason why im posting a prompt that was intended for early august is because i noticed a discrepancy in the numbers #specifically i noticed that i was a day ahead #so i combed through these writing prompts on my blog and realised that this prompt was missing #its listed in my notes and on my google doc but i couldnt find it on tumblr anywhere #so my guess is that either i forgot to do this prompt #(likely because i had this prompt picked for day 222 for a few days in advance and my brain must have thought id posted it when i hadnt) #or tumblr ate it at some point either as a draft or as a post #tl;dr i am backlogging this writing prompt for august 10th cos it seems to have disappeared or not have existed in the first place #anyway this prompt is special to me cos both of my parents used to write poetry when they were younger #and years ago my dad showed me a poem of his about a 'crimson' knight and i loved it #i also use the word 'crimson' a lot in my writing (usually to refer to blood or passion) cos i just like the word but now more so for my da #so this prompt is kind of for my dad and for myself and for us both as 'writers' #thanks for reading #writing #writer #creative writing #writing prompt #writeblr #trying to be a writeblr at least

Oh, how must it feels like to be an artist's muse...

To be the reason they create masterpieces after masterpieces...

To be the reason they get the inspiration to do what they do

To be forever remembered.........

August 26th - September 1st, 2024

Monday, August 26th - Rescue // Doppelgänger // First Time

Tuesday, August 27th - Moving in Together // Multiverse // Sex Accidents

Wednesday, August 28th - Scars & Disabilities // Ex's // Aftercare

Thursday, August 29th - Double Date // Phobias // Secret Rendezvous

Friday, August 30th - Superfam & Flashfam // Fourth World // Control

Saturday, August 31st - Realizations & Confessions // Only Lovers Left Alive // Fuck Nasty

Sunday, September 1st - People of Manchester, Alabama & The Ravers // Nightmares // Accidental Kink Discovery

Purpose?

Continuing to celebrate the BartKon Renaissance in the modern era. Since the ship has historically been a rarepair since its conception in the 1990's, this fanweek acts as both a way to celebrate the BartKon narrative in DC Comics, as well as engage new fans in our small yet mighty collective.

Why should we participate in this?

Because you like BartKon. Because you saw fanfiction and fanart and shitposts, and decided you wanted to see what's poppin' in the BartKonosphere. All creators are welcome. Our romcom lovers, the darkfic connoisseurs, and of course, our smut specialists.

So how does it work?

The release date for fanworks is from Monday, the 26th of August through Sunday, the 1st of September, 2024. 

You have four months to write, draw, and create fanworks. On top of fanfiction and fanart, we also encourage meta, essays, ship manifestos, playlists, and poetry.

This is also an opportunity for new fans to engage with an old ship with a robust body of work, hence why this fanweek is dedicated only to BartKon depicted in DC Comics from 1994-2024. This is not a YJ-centric week, nor it is a BartKon+third week, nor is it a my-ship-is-better-than-your-ship week. Please be courteous and treat each other with respect when engaging with fanworks and their creators. If you misbehave, I will be cursing you with ten thousand years of bad luck on top of car/train/transportation trouble every day for the rest of your life.

BartKon of ANY comic book universe is acceptable. If you want to spend the entire fanweek exploring Luthor-El and Bart because you love horrific love, then be my guest! If you want a crazed version of Bart to kidnap Kon from Gemworld, go for it! Let that imagination run WILD!!!

Both safe and not-safe-for-tunglr dot hell tropes are welcome. Just make sure that you post any Mature content on a landing page that doesn't restrict Mature content (like AO3). I don’t want anyone getting their blog banned. We cannot defeat our capitalist overlords, but we can definitely work around them.

This fanweek will not have a dedicated blog. These prompts are free for anyone to use. Because it is a non-traditional, non-monetized, and free-to-opt-in casual event, there will be no mods but moi, no advertising of paid services, and no ratings or participant restrictions. I will open a collection on AO3 in August for anyone who wants their work collated for this event.

In order to ensure that both creators and the audience are making informed decisions about what they engage with, all creators are encouraged to include triggers and any other squick warnings. 

Please utilize the read-more function for fanworks that are longer than 250 words. We're tryna read yer stories, not get spammed with a wall of text. Please Be Courteous.

And last but not least - if you are engaging with any of the fanworks, reblog, reblog, reblog! Share the work with your followers. Send all the love to the creators for crafting their masterpieces!!

What can I contribute?

Fanart (standalones, comic strips, etc.), fanfiction (one-shots, multichapter, etc.), fanmixes, gifsets, graphics, meme collections, fanvids, ship essays and meta, songifics, playlists, poetry, whatever your heart desires! Go wild!!!

Can I create/write not-safe-for-tunglr dot hell content?

Yes!!! All creators are encouraged to include triggers warnings, sub-genre specifications, and other warnings in their posts. I will not discourage you from writing your 16k Bart Goes Insane Over Kon fic, but please... Be Courteous and tag your fanworks appropriately so people can make an informed decision about what they're comfortable with engaging with.

What does (X) prompt mean?

Each day has three prompts!! You can either pick a prompt OR you can combine prompts in different ways. Although the prompts range from The Basics, to Things That Frighten The Barts and Kons, and end with They're Fucking Nasty in Cissie's Basement Because They Can't Afford a Motel, I challenge you to let your imagination take you where you want to go with each prompt!! If you want to explore all three in the same fanwork, then be my guest!! I will not stop you :'>

Mainstream Canon, Elsewords, and AU content is acceptable! Just make sure to stay within the comicsverse. We have SO MUCH BARTKON MADNESS IN THE COMICS, SO PLAY AROUND WITH OUR BEAUTIFUL CANON!!! Creativity is key! Have fun!!!

Can I crackship/multiship/harem/OT3/polyam the characters?

No. It's literally BartKon Week, Heart & Bones Edition. There's like six active fans left on this bitch of an earth. Don't do this to me :'<

Does this have a tag?

During release week, use the general “bartkon” and "konbart" tags to share your work with the wider BartKon fandom on tunglr. You can use whatever other tags you fancy. The best way to share, however, is to directly @ me so that I may reblog it.

I didn’t read a damn thing before this, Ava.

TL;DR: Nearly four months until the fanweek!!! For all fanwork creators out there, now’s the time to start thinking about what prompts you want to utilize for your creations. There are no creative restrictions, but I do ask that you follow these posting tips:

All fanfiction should be under a read-more.  

Not-safe-for-tunglr fanwork should be LINKED to whatever landing site the content is being hosted on (Twitter, AO3, etc). This includes both fanfiction and fanart. I don’t want your blog getting flagged bc tunglr hates gay people.

Provide content warnings for all triggers, squicks, and sub-genres. Unfortunately, in my ten odd years away from DC Comics, the fandom's seen a resurgence in puritanical behavior and tons of censorship and self-censorship. Please list content warnings on your work but do not be discouraged in sharing your work. If a fancop gets on your ass, block them. Please block as MANY as you can. They're like pests, they're always gonna be there, but their influence can be diminished by staunch blocking and reporting.

You can participate as much as you want!! Maybe you only wanna create for one day? Cool! Maybe you’re an overachieving corporate clown insomniac like myself, and wanna create for every day of the week? Go for it!!! 

The most important thing is to have fun :)

Closing Remarks

Like all my other events I host, this event, too, is entirely selfish. I've loved BartKon since I was a child when I was first introduced to it in the form of Bart/Clark on Smallville. Although I only recently came back to reading DC's mainline comics, BartKon still holds a special place in my heart even after all these years, and the few who still create and engage in their fanworks inspired me to host a little something-something for our small community.

Take your time, look through the prompts, and get your creative juices flowing! I will be sending out reminders until the go-live date.

For the people who showed interest during the initial interest check, I hope you're able to participate. To the people who hate me, your mom's a hoe. Thank you.

N.B.C. 8/22 prompt 5: Siren Song

I will to know waters still

I long for a heart steady, strong.

To sit on a hillside and watch as sun goes

Over the horizon to create colorful shows

To be able to stay, to rest

And not be buzzing, or humming, at best.

To breathe in and feel the same within and without

To exhale calmly and not feel a need to scream or shout.

If only I could close my eyes with a peace I know,

Maybe I could feel my heartbeat, and the life flow.

But always there is some worry, something somewhere wrong.

I think I’m learning, peace only fully finally comes in death,

And just might be my favorite siren song.
