monthly merleon prompts, challenges, themes, and exchanges.

welcome to merleon-monthly!

my name is allie (she/her) though i'll answer to most things. (a, faye, bray--hence my screenname--, alfie, albee, mom/mama, "hey you!", etc.) my main is @afayebray and you can find me on discord as fiercemamallama. i created this account for us to have a space for writing (and art!) prompts, challenges, exchanges, etc. for our favorite long-suffering and immortal lovers, merlin and leon.

the name is merleon-monthly but i'll likely post more frequently than that but we'll have at least one main theme (or challenge or exchange) per month.

if you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to submit them and i may use them for a future theme or challenge or share the prompt for others to use.

HAPPY DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH!!

Bringing back my disabled Leon because he deserves to be loved

Also for @merleon-monthlys disability prompt!!

[merleon-monthly]

The poll ended in a tie, so I'm going to do the one where you get to choose between the two (or do both) vs. another poll to vote since this way, no one loses out on a theme they might prefer over the other if it lost.

Please forgive my poor editing on these--the one where they're indoors especially as I had to break out the eraser to remove some of the flowers from Merlin and...I'm not the best at that.

Now, for the themes:

The first theme you have that you can choose from for July is Summer Vacation/Holiday Travel. I'm phrasing it like that basically because it's them getting some much deserved time off (potentially even taking place in canon era if you'd prefer) and they travel somewhere for that. It can be somewhere fairly mundane, visiting Hunith or Leon's family or even a camping trip with just the two of them. Or it can be more along the lines of what you envision for a typical summer holiday destination--tropical or possibly exploring the rest of Europe or other continents. Just as long as they have travel together to get there. Whether it goes smoothly and they're actually able to relax and enjoy it is up to you. 😎

The second theme is Disability. July is Disability Pride Month and we've already had some art as well as fic where Merlin or Leon (or both) is disabled. What their disability is would be entirely up to the artist/author.

I cannot wait to see which one everyone chooses and see what you all create. 💗💗

our first set of prompts (and the inspiration behind this account) is merleon bingo! i've made one board so far in two different styles (one plain to help with visibility/readability for anyone who may have trouble with the other) and will also include the list of prompts below for any who need the text version. if there's interest or anyone would like different prompts, i'll make a couple more. i cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with!
