What do you have to do to participate? Just make art with the prompts?
hi! we'll have a longer post about this coming soon, but for now: pretty much! make art, write fic, slap some clay on a wheel and spin a space-themed mug...anything goes! any form of astronomy-focused creativity counts for this event. you could write an expository essay on the hypothetical geography of erid if that's what floats your boat, or practice your astrophotography, or make a stained glass mosaic, or, or, or. if you're inspired to make it, it counts for this event!
the next thing to do will be to tag us here @augustellar so that we can see, like, and reblog your work. we will have more info about this in the aforementioned post. anything posted on Tumblr will be liked/reblogged through here, plus there will be an Ao3 collection for written works. our Discord link is here as well:
https://discord.gg/jXxt9ujzn
that all being said, the challenge of this event is to participate all 31 days of August! while the general goal is to create anything—one piece of art is better than no pieces of art!—the targeted goal is to challenge yourself to practice your creative hobby/hobbies every day for an entire month. it's very common for creative people to feel discouraged by their lack of routine, how sporadically they create art, how they never feel inspired. here at Augustellar the goal is to use our prompt list and the love of space/astronomy as a springboard to show yourself that your artistic talents are worth practicing every day!
Now Launching: The Augustellar Official Prompt List of 8/1-8/31!
Drumroll please...
We're so excited to share our official calendar for 31 Days of Augustellar, and we thank everyone who submitted prompts! Choosing only 31 was a difficult task, but we hope the final collection inspires some great ideas for our upcoming event. The above image is a condensed version of the prompts that were chosen; all prompts will be listed in their originally submitted format below the cut, AND for each daily prompt post throughout August. Look under the cut for a full write-up!
Please Take Note!
Augustellar will be running from August 1st to August 31st. We're sharing the Official Prompt List now so that all participants have some time for ideas to percolate or to start one some basic artistic groundwork, but the goal of this event is to create art every day for 31 days. That means no blasting off early!
Keep an eye out for our upcoming posts about how Augustellar will work, our rules and guidelines, and the prize polls! Amaze amaze amaze!

8/3- Newton's First Law: Inertia
Submitted by: Anon law of inertia but specifically about stratt and grace! "an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion." some sort of symbolism of how she stays stuck on earth, stuck as the scapegoat, and how he is always on the next thing on erid, and is now a savior for their worlds.
8/4- Newton's Second Law: Force
8/5- Newton's Third Law: Reciprocal Action
8/6- Pale Blue Dot
Submitted by: Anon Would love to see a prompt for earth's new climate/ice age before the beatles make it back, and how eva + the phm team post-launch lives! Are they renegade scientists aboard that ship in the arctic? Was Stratt condemned by all of earth for her role in the phm mission and forced to escape imprisonment, or did she continue the mission afterwards with gov't approval? what do all our cities look like during an ice age? just ice age earth and eva + co. trying to save humanity while grace + rocky are out saving the stars!
8/7- In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
8/8- To Boldly Go
Submitted by: @hellomynameisalias how about a Star Trek AU? Could go many ways. Maybe eridians are part of the federation, and Rocky and Grace are a chief engineer and chief science officer aboard a starship. Or maybe the eridians are more like the klingon (or the borg? 👀) hostile to anything Federation........ until a landing party gets attacked and Grace has to rely on the help of an also-marooned enemy! Or maybe erid has just broken the lightspeed travel barrier, and a first contact entourage is sent down to interview the genuis engineer who invented their first warp drive...
8/9- Many Universes
Submitted by: Anon 1)favorite quote/bit from favorite tv show, but redone as phm fanart, 2)seconding the crossover prompt <3
8/10- First Contact
Submitted by: @blue-gearsFirst contact -> Grace in the lab, naming and discovering Astrophage biology, or any other character or OC first learning about Astrophage or the Petrova Problem, or stuff about the ArcLight probe :)
8/11- Culture Exchange
8/12- Cosmic Mythos
Submitted by: @nebulae-astros-official Graeco roman mythology or pjo crossover!! Bc yk astronomical objects are usually named after greek/roman mythology figures and ryland grace, son of apollo will not get out of my head ALSO grace and Rocky Orpheus and Eurydice parallels AND adrian and Rocky odypen parallels
8/13- Homesick/Earthsick
Submitted by: @doodlesthedragonHomesick Downtime The Crew's All Here Touched Starved
8/14- Radiation Damage
Submitted by: @specialagentartemis Prompt submission: radiation damage. (Grace gets a ‘sun’burn during a beach day on Erid? Fic about the Petrova taskforce attempting to find other ways to kill astrophage closer to home? The bittersweetness of the Hail Mary quilt fading in the dome’s “sun” over time? Rocky’s 46 Year Long Cosmic Horror Nightmare? yes)
8/15- Laser
Submitted by: @rocky-core port.. prom.. pomt.. Thingy: Grace is playing with a Lazer pointer as rocky is trying to catch it
8/16- Petrova
Submitted by: @starinthegarden i love the petrova lines so much they’re so pretty… there’s also the petrova taskforce, irina petrova, the petrova frequency.. there’s a lot of things lolol
8/17- Xeno-Veterinarian
Submitted by: @fan-stuff-and-things Grace's Eridian doctors are large animal veterinarians. There are some awkward adjustment periods.
8/18- Rainbow
Submitted by: @j-atticus Prompt submission: rainbows! Another: red string of fate
8/19- Extra-Spectral Colors
Submitted by: @beetledragon Grace describes something as magneta and rocky is confused as to why the light-to-texture device reads it as green. (Middle rough) Cue Grace having to explain that magenta happens when the average wavelength of an item falls into the green section but the item itself actually reflects exclusively red and blue light so our brain interprets it as magenta instead of green. Rocky baffled that the human brain just straight up invented a color that doesn't really exist.
Submitted by: @delyth88 Prompt suggestion: Grace has spent nearly a decade on the Hail Mary by the time he gets to Erid. Like him its survived far longer than was ever intended and is looking a bit worn around the edges. How does he feel leaving the ship? Is it a relief, or does he miss it? Is he sad to go? Scared about leaving its safety even though it's cramped? Or is it falling apart when he gets to Erid and no longer a safe haven? And what does Rocky think about all of this?
8/22- Recovery
Submitted by: Anon i feel like not a lot of people talk about grace's starvation near the End of the trip to erid and I think that it should be more delved into with more impact such as the obvious more medical reasons such as unable to gain weight or muscle ect ect, but I would like to see more ED rep, especially because personally I head cannon grace as on the spectrum, and I, who is on the spectrum, suffer from mild arfid. so its something I'd like to see :D Submitted by: Anon i want more of grace gaining weight on erid! i want him recovering from starvation (and if you so choose, an eating disorder) and gaining weight and being happy!! also! physical disabilities. maybe grace has to use a cane or a wheelchair or crutches or compression clothes. maybe rocky has chronic pain or joint issues or chronic fatigue. (we should make the rock disabled too)
8/23- Celestial Divinity
Submitted by: @volswaidkman So i saw an au where Grace is just an angel sent down to earth to help humans save their universe and i liked it but i dont remember the og creator s uh.... Angel Grace AU as a prompt?

8/26- Astronomical Arts & Crafts

Submitted by: Anon prompt: surface of Adrian!!
8/28- Eridian Biome
Submitted by: Anon Eridian biomes? I know they're under a ton of atmospheric pressure, but what about at different altitudes of the planet? Or how about Eridian civilization, like do they have villages or cities, what do their space elevators look like? Landscape prompt?
8/29- Eridian Exploration
Submitted by: @psychicdelusionblizzard Prompt submission! Grace leaving the biodome and exploring the dark surface of Erid, and the cities developed to operate in the pitch black. Now, Rocky's the one guiding a be-hamster-balled Grace through a foreign world.
