I'll tell you what's jarring: watching wentworth seasons 5 to 8 in the space of a week, then going back to season 1 episode 1. Its SO different. I cannot continue with s1 right now, the atmosphere is so different, Liz is so young, Franky being a mean top dog - almost unrecognisable! Will was thinner and Vera was a different bloody person
and thats how Wentworth became all about Franky :) <3 but noooo we don’t want her in prison :(((( I guess there’s no storyline with no problems but </3
Where the fuck is everybody? I was promised a hugeass fucking fandom from all over the world! What the fuck is this shit? Why are the tags so dead? Is there a new tumblr type thing that everybody’s flocking to these days? {If yes, omg somebody please tell me! I wanna like shoelaces again!}
Seriously though, we need more activity here! The more stuff about the show is seen by an increasing number of people, the more they’ll get curious about it. How many things have you started watching/reading/listening to because what you saw on your dash intrigued you? I know it’s been a ton for me. So, yeah, I might be stirring shit here, but I don’t care. This show is way too fucking good to not be promoted by it’s own fandom, don’t you agree?
So THANK YOU to all of you who make stuff and make sure the tags have some sort of heartbeat at least. Keep up the awesome! \m/
And to all of the fandom, but especially those of us who would love to jump in too but just don’t know how… I figured nothing wrong with a little burst of inspiration and compiled this thing that absolutely everybody can participate in, regardless of where exactly your creativity comes to life.
Now, whether you wanna do all of these or just one or maybe two, above all else: have fun with this!!!
And please spread the word by reblogging/ linking to this post. Not everybody checks the tags. Also, facebook, twitter, etc… I have no idea what the situation over there is, but if you feel like sharing this with people outside of tumblr, go for it.
Rules, prompts & suggestions under the cut
Tags: This is me being super hopeful here, but counting on more than 3 actual responses to this, let’s throw em all into the same tag so they’ll be easy to find. So please tag any/all of your (public) responses to these prompts with [ wentworth frc ] to keep it simple and all that.
I was gonna say wentworth-challenge but hey, look, there’s one there already!
{How come no one’s doing that one anymore? Def throwing that on my to do list… practice what you preach and all. Cause while I might do some of these, since it’s mine, it doesn’t necessarily inspire me that much… in that weird way that makes you not hungry after you’ve been cooking for hours… so yeah, I’d prefer to be challenged to stuff by you guys. Hit me!}
Rules: 1. Read all the…
FUCK THE LABELS! - Montessori stye! This isn’t supposed to be a competition or anything like that. It’s meant to inspire and bring you joy by combining two things that you love: Wentworth and your creative outlet (whatever that is for you).
ANYTHING GOES! | Cook a dish that fits the prompt and post a picture of it… | get out that glue gun and dust off the crafts corner… | do something with flowers… | gifs | edits | manips | drawings | fanvids | fanfic | headcanons | roleplays | cosplays | write a song and perform it for us | write a poem | make a collage | knit some baby booties/a scarf/a holiday season sweater | doodle around on your notebook during class | go outside and pretend you’re on the run from the cops for a day! {Yeah, no, you prolly shouldn’t actually do that one… must remember… crime: bad!} Ignore previous suggestion! Stay in school! Don’t take candy from strangers! Don’t do drugs! Graffiti is vandalism! Call your mom! Eat your veggies! Wash your hands! {Yeah idk… aside from staying in school I hypothetically may have done all of that… so, grain of salt, people!} | hell, even if something inspires you - but for an entirely different fandom | JUST RUN WITH IT
Of course you’re welcome to do this as a daily/weekly/monthly/whatevery challenge, but you don’t have to! Do em in order, do em out of order… do em all, do em multiple times with different results, or make a baby with just one… do anything in between… combine several prompts into one response… you get the picture.
Should be obvious by now, but, of course: any and all characters/ships!!! The more diversity, the better!
As for the actual prompt: Go fornicate with signs depicting trademarks {NO! Reminder! crime: bad!} - completely up to you! - no restrictions or suggestions of any kind, just do your thing and share your love for the show! (Whether what you do/make relates to the phrase/scene is irrelevant! This is the Dealer’s Choice prompt.)
WELCOME TO PRISON! - What was Person X’s first day at Wentworth like? Either side of the bars. Can be your fav char from the show, can be one of the background extras that you have a headcanon about, can be an original character you created yourself, can be somebody from another fandom getting thrown in there, or can be you imagining yourself at Wentworth…
- OR: - go in a different direction, e.g., give reasons why somebody should watch Wentworth and use it to lure welcome more people to the fandom!
- OR: - fuck whatever I suggested… do anything else that makes you think ‘Welcome to prison!’ (same goes for all the prompts)
TEAL TUESDAY! - Do something that is teal-dominant in color and post it on a Tuesday (even if it’s a mandala or some other sort of (adult) coloring book thing!) - Favorite scene from the episode you last watched - What do you predict for the next episode? - Maybe do a liveblog etc for at least one of the eps this season? - How do you watch Wentworth? Show us your booze & snacks setup. - Throw a Teal Tuesday themed watch party and everybody has to be dressed appropriately... - Invent a drinking game! - The possibilities for this one are pretty much endless I think… BUT PLEASE REMEMBER TO TAG YOUR SPOILERS!
LOVE IS IN THE AIR! - ship all the ships!!! Just have fun gushing over your fav idiots!
LGBTQ+ - Happy Pride! - rainbows! rainbows everywhere! - love is love! - lesbionics - yes, lesbians are awesome, but it says LGBTQ+ and not ‘hot bitches scissoring’, so I hope most of you will keep it general and/or also focus on the other letters of this alphabet soup! - What is Maxine up to these days? Did Will and Fletch ever have hatesex? There’s no way Smiles isn’t bi or pan, do you agree? Do Juice and her boys ever go drag kings? What if the Conquerors really were dykes on bikes? Did Erica ever explore the Velvet Curtain? Who do you think might be asexual/aromantic? Who’s the queerest of the queer? Who are your OT3s?
MORE DIVERSITY!!! - Because it NEEDS to be said! If this was a US show people would be screaming about how white it is… so for this one, show some love for the non-caucasian characters or introduce your own!
BAMF! - Bitches get shit done - badassery for the win! - Who/what makes you cheer ‘hells to the fuck yeah!’?
WHERE’S THE GEAR? - your favorite aspects of the show - what’s the stuff that got you hooked in the first place? - what do you keep coming back for? - how do you feed your addiction?
NEWBIES WELCOME! - Either get inspired by the latest additions to the cast, or use this prompt to introduce the show to people you think would enjoy it.
GONE, BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN! - Their characters might have died and/or left the show, but they’ll always be part of it and in our hearts! Prove it!
X-OVER! - Wentworth + fandom of your choice
WENTWORTH: THE MUSICAL - What do you think a musical episode would look like? Would you even want to see one for this show? - Put your iPod/playlist/etc on shuffle, pick your fav lyrics from the first song that comes up and create something including the lines or inspired by them - What are your favorite songs that have been featured on the show? - Make/finish a fanvid you’ve been thinking about - Make a playlist of songs that remind you of the show/your fav char/your fav ship - actually write a song / or cover/karaoke a somehow Wentworthy song and share your performance of it.
WENTWORTH GOES SCI-FI! - or fantasy or time travel adventure or supernatural abilities etc… crack welcome! Always! XD
MEDICAL EMERGENCY! - Could be something from the show, or another crossover type thing or Wentworth as a medical drama etc…
WENTWORTH + NOIR + CRIMSON - noir could be the genre or the roulette term or the color black (or black & white even)… crimson does not have to be the actual color… - angst! - darkness! - blood! - gore!
SCENERY PORN! - shots that either don’t have any people in them at all or the people aren’t the obvious focal point - props that caught your eye for some reason - whose cell decoration is your fav? - all the little details that don’t get talked about much but help make the show what it is...
PROJECT RUNWAY! - favorite outfits - show us how your uniform would look - design a new prison outfit for one of your fav chars - fav appearances in civvies - screw & inmate laundry switcheroo mishap - fashion show prison style - drag queens & kings - hair porn - hair/makeup/nails tutorial
MEANWHILE IN PRISON… - Wentworth + comedy - the funny scenes - Wentworth as a comedy/rom-com/etc - Wentworth + tumblr text posts or tfln or other captions etc - fun behind bars - just give us something for the lawlz
KITCHEN DUTY! - Wentworth + food
SLOTTED! - isolation - silence - punishment - being watched - the bare minimum - gray - boredom - hopelessness - negativity - what are the little things to make it through? - Do you think it’s possible to find love in a hopeless place? - How would you leave your mark in a place like that? Would you even want to? - How far would you go to get out again? - or how about a gif set of everybody we’ve seen get slotted?
MAIL CALL & VISITATIONS - Do something nice for one of your fellow fans - dedicate your creation to them - go say hi and start talking to somebody who keeps crossing your path - write a message to one of the inmates or officers - an internal memo that’s going around the prison personnel - a sarcastic comic strip circulating among the inmates - a letter thanking the cast and crew for giving us the show!
SHUT UP, GIDGET MADE ME DO IT! - Bridget Fucking Westfall! - she may be fictional, but she’s the best shrink I ever had - positivity! - stuff the show made you realize about yourself or about the world - Personally, I consider this thing as my response to that particular prompt. The whole ‘go forth and create’ thing and all… feels very sapphic psychologist to me… alas, I fully blame Tinkergidge for all of this! Now, go and do whatever currently excites your own inner Gidge! (Or inner muse, or angel/devil on your shoulder, or whatever you wanna call your source of stupid ideas creativity and inspiration.)
PAROLE! - What are you looking forward to in the upcoming episodes, what would you like to see at some point in the future? - What are you gonna do next, now that you’re done with this thing? - Have you learned anything here? If yes, what? - Do you even deserve parole? If the answer is no, go back and give these prompts another try. Or better yet, escape the madness and go ahead and give the fandom a challenge of your own! Or check out the other Wentworth challenge that I mentioned way up there.
Hey, y’all have the DVDs already, right? Or would anybody be interested in a list of the special features and whatnot? I don’t remember seeing that anywhere before I ordered em so I had no idea what to expect besides the eps.
Anyway, if there’s interest, I’ll be happy to make something, but if it’d be pointless cause everybody already knows anyway, I’m not gonna do anything that even remotely resembles work when there’s no point to it. I’m way too fucking lazy for that. So lemme know if there’s any takers or not. \m/
If you have a request for a fanfic in a specific scenario, whether that’s something between Bea and Allie, Franky and Bridget, or even Franky and Erica, or any of these characters (or even Kaz) and YOU as an IMAGINE fic, send them to my inbox! I will write it up for you and post the link on here, and inbox you once I have posted it :)
They can be as STEAMY as you like, I love to write them, and my archive of our own username is TeamFranky
PS I won’t write fics about Ferguson (for personal reasons)
