Thursday prompting frenzy!

Aloha, my darlings. Happy Thursday!

The lovely [personal profile] jakia  has suggested a twist on our traditional free-for-alls:

In a previous fandom I was in, we had Prompt-Fest days. Essentially, a mod or someone would post ten prompts that ranged from one word (miserable for example) to song lyrics to character situations (the last time Puck cries in Glee; Mike as a Cheerio; Kurt's mother's maiden name, ect.). Everyone who wanted to would then fill a prompt with whatever they want--a drabble, a full length fic, icons, banners, gifsets, sketches, fanart, whatever--but once they posted a fill of their own, they left three prompts of their own behind so someone else could fill it.

So today, we're going to give it a try. Behind a cut, we have ten prompts. Go ahead and do with them whatever you like, just remember to leave new prompts in return!



1. Karaoke

2. Applesauce, summertime, thunder

3. 'Something blue' at a wedding

4. And take extra care with strangers, even flowers have their dangers, and though scary is exciting, nice is different than good. (I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right)

5. Self-fulfilling prophecy

6. Murder-mystery dinner night

7. Candlelight, water, rust

8. 'It's not easy being green'

9. Disarm you with a smile, cut you like you want me to cut that little child, inside of me and such a part of you (what I choose is my choice)

10. Apocalypse

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Gay is the first thing anyone says about Kurt. If they're being kind, they might use different words--unique, maybe, or perhaps fabulous or effeminate. They mean the same thing, really: Kurt Hummel is gay, like the sky is blue or the grass is green.

Kurt was gay when he was eight and didn't know what the word meant. Kurt was gay when he was twelve and had access to google for the first time. Kurt was gay at fifteen and came out to the surprise of absolutely no one. Kurt was gay at seventeen, when he had a boyfriend that he loved for the first time in his life.

(Kurt is nineteen, and for the first time, not-so-gay, kissing Rachel Berry and marveling at the hot flush of desire rushing through his body. He wonders, for the first time, what his life might have been like, if the world hadn't told him he was queer from birth, and if he hadn't decided in turn that they were right.)

If it makes you happy

Then why the hell are you so sad?
