PROMPT 03

LATE NIGHTS

Create a playlist of songs your characters listen to late at night. You may create an accompanying edit for the playlist, but it isn't necessary. If you do create an edit, please remember to tag the graphics blog (@arst-graphics). Additionally, what are they usually doing during this time? You may answer this headcanon question either in the form of a short self-para / story, or answer the question as is (ex: "They are usually roaming around at night while listening to music..." etc). No minimum word count, answer as lengthily or as briefly as you want! You may also answer in bullet-point format.

PROMPT 01

CHARACTER EDIT 

The first specialized prompt task is to create an edit of your character(s). There’s no theme - be creative! You may complete this task at any time, and this will count towards activity (for the specific character it’s for).  As always, this prompt is optional. Please remember to link back to this post before posting your completed task!

Questioning Minds meme

For muses who notice & ask questions about it. some of these are statements more than questions - but they’re still asking about something, so they are on the list. have fun! (SOURCE)

“How long have you had this?” “Have you ever thought maybe you didn’t want to…?” “What do you like about it?” “You don’t ask for a lot.” “Did you ever…?” “What is it about that [item/place]?” “You’re not surprised.” “Where did you get that scar?” “You know more about this than I do.” “Are you afraid of it?” “Can I help?” “What made you do it?” “What were you thinking?” “They have a much different impression of you than I do.” “Why are you here?” “What was your mother/father/childhood like?” “This isn’t the first time this has happened.” “When you had [experience]… what was that like for you?” “What was your first impression of me?” “Did you ever think we’d end up like this?” “How’s your breathing?” “Are you thinking of doing [x] again?” “Do you need me to come home?” “I love you.” (oh boy, when this is a question, not a statement.) “Did you ever speak to someone about it?”

[arst-prompts]

Let’s play the ‘word association game’! Send my muse a word, any word, and they’ll respond with the first word that comes into their head.

PROMPTS

Please do not reblog / post prompts that weren’t chosen and posted from this blog to avoid overwhelming everyone and the dash. Meme nights are on every Fridays, and specialized prompts are posted every two weeks. All are optional, and may be completed any time.

HOW THIS WORKS

- All ask memes / prompts and specialized prompts count for activity. Posts that would normally not be counted as activity such as edits and playlists will be counted as activity. 

- To not overwhelm the dash with reblogs on meme nights, you may make a post on your blog, linking to prompts / memes posted here that you’d like your characters to participate in and for others to send in. 

- For specialized prompts, please link back to the prompt’s original post when completing them.
