Purple Pictures

Welcome to Ulka's small photo studio, Purple Pictures. Here she sells cameras and photo frames. :3

Just a little forewarning: the shop has been tweaked a few times while I've been playing. So don't be surprised if it looks a bit different each time. :D

A big thank you to @episims for the camera mod and @deedee-sims for the changeable photo frames. I also use a pet-friendly version I requested at gardenofshadows a long time ago. :3 (Thanks again Treehawk!!)

Writeblr Hunger Games Round 19

Yes, it’s official! There will be a new round of the Writeblr Hunger Games! Now is the time to submit your characters for a life or death match inside a deadly arena! I’ll probably keep the death rate lower to let the round go longer! Also, I ask for some patience, because school is stressful, so things might move a bit slower than normal. Also, there is a Discord for the WHG! It’s a big help for collaborating and discussing prompts! Please let me know if you would like to join!

Reminder of the Basics: writers submit their characters as potential candidates and then I put them in the Brant Steele Hunger Games Simulator and share the results. In the meantime, the writers can write and share stories (from giant text posts to just a couple of sentences) about their characters being in the Games!

Note: characters’ canonical powers, strengths, abilities, disabilities, and weaknesses will not be taken into account by the simulator. Every outcome is random and everyone has an equal chance for victory or disaster.

How we’ll do things this time: any writeblr who’d like to participate can submit up to 3 characters. Please submit by reblogging this post or messaging or asking me (@concealeddarkness13)! 

In your submissions, please include your characters’:

Name

Pronouns

Optional:

Any interesting facts

If you’d like them in a particular district or if you’d like them in the same district

The timeline will be as follows:

Today, January 23: Submissions open! Send me your characters’ info in a reblog, ask, or message!

Sunday, January 29: Submissions close! The initial Reaping will be posted. If you see any errors, please let me know! I’ll also start posting the pre-Games writing prompts if you would like to write something for the pre-Games!

Thursday, February 2: The Official Reaping is posted! Everything is set for the Games to begin!

Friday, February 3: The Games begin! I’ll try to post one day for every real day!

WHG 19 - Prompt 1

Since this is supposed to be my blog for actual writing, Imma put my written bits here but I'll be reblogging them to my main 😁

I might be a little slow, but I'm hoping to at least do a prompt for all three of my submissions, Jake, Hansel, and Lyra. Yay!

Jake settled himself on the edge of the waterfront. Flicked a bit of rock out and watched it hit the waves before going under.

Just like him.

Why he had been playing around with those damn portals, he’d no idea. He’d landed in this place where things seemed…similar to home, but not quite the same. He’d done his best to learn the history, keep his head down, find the others. But they’d landed in different districts, it looked like, and so he’d done his best to fall in line and plot how best to escape.

The best he’d come up with was either hijacking a boat or just jumping into the water and swimming until he hit somewhere else.

He adjusted the settings on his boots, the edges set with runic stones he’d made and powered himself with what he’d managed to pry out of the old dusty books of his library, half of which had been stolen from an old friend.

Well. Frenemy.

He adjusted his density to make him seem a little more solid, adjusted his gloves to do the same. He’d landed in some kind of fishing village or area or town or…oh, right. District. That’s what they were calling it. Seemed to be decently healthy and operating at a good pace economically. But he’d also found some of the younger kids using some of the larger fish as punching bags, set up in sheds and gutting rooms and places that wouldn’t normally be found. So preparing for these…’hunger games’ seemed to be against the rules, yet these kids managed to do it anyway.

He wondered what the other districts were like. If they were all like this.

Either way. He should have been okay, he reasoned. There was an age limit, and he seemed to be on the older end. He’d managed to make out that the older you were, the more times you had to put your name in for being a tribute…but seeing as how he was new here, he’d never actually had to put his name in at all.

He looked up as a roar began to be taken up closer to the central square. From what he could gather, he was supposed to get there before the actual ceremonies started.

He stood and brushed off his jacket, scratching at his chin as he walked. Hopefully the others could partake in the games and he could find them. Maybe work out a way to activate the portals wherever these games were and the three of them could get out. Get home.

But he knew better than to try and plan too far ahead. He’d learned early enough on that doing so only tempted fate in a way that she couldn’t resist.

He grumbled and worked out the magic in his head as he walked, trying to sort variables and make plans for his next steps. And only his next steps. Get called. Find the others. Escape.

An essence preserved through film, through art, through writing. An idea, a story, that endures, handed down from century to century. A life long lived, never ending, or redone. A boon or a curse. There are different ways to achieve immortality, elusive as eternity may be.

The theme for Lights on Park Ave Round 19 is immortality. Here are the prompts:

James Baldwin talking about how art helps you discover that people before you have experienced the same thing as you and you are not alone

Dr. Brand saying that love transcends time and space in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014)

Nadia and Alan meeting for the first time as they’re about to die and relive the same day again in Russian Doll

The loneliness of losing everyone by having a long life as expressed by Ten in Doctor Who

The doomed eternal time loop romance of Simon and Alisha from Misfits 

A quote by Edvard Munch about becoming eternal through the flowers that grow from his body after death

Nagai Kei recalling the traffic accident that killed him and triggered his immortality, making him one of the rare persecuted humans to possess the power, in Ajin

A collection of moments from Jay Russell’s Tuck Everlasting (2002)

A quote by Mary Wollstonecraft hoping for something that lasts inside the heart

Various scenes with Jack Harkness from Doctor Who

Aya telling Asou-kun to live on and live forever as she nears the end of her life in 1 Litre of Tears

An excerpt about the immortalization of the self through love from “Love of the Wolf” in Hélène Cixous’s Stigmata

A collection of scenes from the Black Mirror episode “San Junipero”

Naoko telling Toru to always remember her and remember that she existed in Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

Dom explaining to Ariadne that he uses the PASIV to dream as it’s the only way that he can be with his wife and children in Christopher Nolan’s Inception (2010)

Round 19 will end on March 31, 11:59 PM ET (what time is that for me?).

As always, you’re free to jump in whenever you’d like during the round, a wide variety of work types is accepted, and there are no minimum work requirements. Unfinished works and works for other fandom events are allowed. You can find more information about Lights on Park Ave and the participation guidelines here.
