After some encouragement from the Community Discord, I went ahead and came up with an idea for a possible prompt event for this upcoming December that focuses on Inscryption! I don't think I'll want to change the prompts every year, but still, this post is for the first one: 2021!
Hopefully, this can help stretch people's creative skills and let them practice more! It should also be noted that doing every day is far from a requirement. Hell, you can just do one day, or none at all! Like I said before, this is a fandom event, not something that someone has to do.
Any art medium is welcome: drawings and fanfictions are the most common, but hey, if you can make it, I consider it art! Sketches and very short fanfiction is certainly welcome as well! I'll try to lurk around in the main Inscryption tag as well as the Inscryptember 2021 tag for any creations, and I'll be happy to reblog!
That all being said, the rules and descriptions of the prompts are below. Please read the rules especially! But I hope everyone has a great season, and stay safe <3
Rules:
1. Don't pester others over continuing. If someone doesn't want or can't continue with the prompts, please don't force them. It's rude, and it should be the decision of the creator in question to decide if they would want to continue or not.
2. Please no NSFW content! I don't mind if you yourself make NSFW creations, but please be safe-for-work concerning these prompts. Be courteous of minors!
3. Be kind and have fun! Okay, this isn't a rule persay, but again, don't feel forced to do any prompts you don't like or feel tired to do. It's an event, not work! And being kind should be common standard, of course!
4. No terfs/radfems, nazis, trump supporters, none of that shit. Period.

Prompts:
1.) Snowfall
- For something simple to start out with, what would the characters do when experiencing snow? Would they make snowmen/snow angels, try to lick a pole? Or just stay inside? (lmao)
2.) Ugly Sweaters
- Ugly sweaters are perfect for the winter season; how would your chosen characters react to being put in said sweater?
3.) Mistletoe
- A classic; choose two characters to be under the mistletoe! It doesn't have to be romantic either.
4.) Stocking
- Hey, what's that hiding in the stocking? Is it Lonely Wizard? A miniature version of a Scrybe? You decide!
5.) Limited Color Palette
- For this one, draw any scene of your choosing, but it must be white, red, or/and green!
6.) Sleigh-Ride
- Let's say some characters of your choosing has to go down some slope with a sleigh. Who will be the one with the reins? Who will be the (likely unfortunate) person along for the ride? Is the character both?
7.) Sleeping
- In winter, because of the weather, you might feel more drowsier than usual. How would your character(s) look like snoozing away while it snows outside?
8.) Decoration
- It's getting closer to the holidays, so quick! Show your characters of choosing decorating for the holiday in question!
9.) Fireside
- It's getting chillier by the day; toast your characters up near a fireplace!
10.) Alternate Look
- Oh, it seems like your character(s) are dressing up for the season! What would a variation of them look like if they were based on the winter season?
11.) Watching a Movie
- The Scrybes (plus any other characters) is together for a movie night! Let's see how they're doing!
12.) Naughty or Nice
- Something a bit more abstract! Draw any character of your choosing doing something nice, or doing something considered naughty!
13.) Out in the Cold
- It's getting late out, and the snow is still falling. How would the characters look or feel like being outside when it's like this, at night?
14.) Helping an Animal
- Oh no! A character(s) found an animal out in the biting cold! Show or write them helping the animal in question out!
15.) Snowstorm
- Uh oh, a bad storm blew in and now the character(s) are locked inside their house. What would they do when it's like this?
16.) Gingerbread Cookies
- A staple of the holidays, especially X-mas, is a gingerbread cookie. Draw or write any character(s) making gingerbread cookies, or if they themselves are a cookie!
17.) Snowball Fight
- Things are getting heated! Choose two or more characters participating in a snowball fight (including any on the sidelines or in-range of fire!)
18.) Music
- Music plays a large part in bringing up a festive atmosphere, so how about one or more characters dancing/listening to a song they like (or are fed up with, lol)
19.) Angst/Hurt
- Sometimes, the bitterness isn't just from the cold. Feel free to depict a heartbreaking or angsty scene of your liking.
20.) A Christmas Carol
- Most know by now about the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and how he was visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. So, if you can, depict any of the characters in these roles.
21.) Pajamas
- Something more silly to lighten the mood; what would the character/characters look like if they wore pajamas? After all, like I mentioned before, winter weather can make you more gloomy!
22.) Gifts
- Mostly everyone likes gifts! So, show/depict a character giving to another a present for them. Bonus points if their present is shown!
23.) Not Even a Mouse
- Oh dear, any character(s) of your choosing has transformed into/reverted back to an Beast Card! What would they look/be like?
24.) Celebration
- We're doing this prompt a day early; it's finally Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or any other winter holiday for the Inscryption gang! How are they doing today, and how are they celebrating (if they're celebrating at all.)
25.) Give and Share!
- Today is something special. Give a gift to a friend or person you admire as a present! It can be art, a short fic, or even just some kind words! As mushy as I sound, spread peace and love on planet Earth lmao
26.) Sick
- The festivities yesterday must've went too hard, because now your character(s) is down with an illness, whether that be the flu, cold, frostbite, anything. Show or write them being taken care of/taking care of themselves!
27.) Let's Get Creepy
- While this time of year is usually for joy and happiness, there are some aspects that can be creepy, unsettling, or downright terrifying. Show off/write a scene that can be considered scary or jarring!
28.) Happiest Moment
- For this prompt, depict a moment in a character/multiple characters that they felt the most happiest, comforted, or cherished in their life so far.
29.) Human/Scrybed
- Time for something a little more different! A wish/spell backfired, and now the Scrybes/characters inside Inscryption are fully human, while Luke and other human characters are turned into strange and definitely, well, not-human creatures. Let's see how they would react and/or look like!
30.) Swapped
- Following the previous prompt's general style, how would the characters act or look like if they were swapped with another character?
31.) Finally Over
- December has finally passed, and so soon will be winter. What will the character(s) of your choosing be doing when the sun and green finally comes out?
i'm kinda busy this month, but i've been wanting to participate in my own event so! here's some quick sketches for the first and second days of Inscryptember 2021!
If Magnificus wasn’t meant to be decorated, why is he tree-shaped? Maybe it wasn’t a favorite look but he’s considering its merit!
(Hello, I am writing this on the 5th! I drew it last night since I kept thinking it was funny and I wanted to join in the Christmas tree Magnificus fun. If everything works out, this should be queued for the 8th day of Inscryptember. It was fun to work on!)
