Carpe Diem: Monday

[kat_lair]

***

And so it begins! Welcome all to the first day of 'Carpe Diem: A Week of Creativity and Squee'! As a brief reminder: Each day you will find two prompts/tasks here, based loosely on the poem Monday's Child. One encourages you to create something new, another to squee about something in existence. Aim is to fulfil one or both within 24h of prompt posting but there is no official deadline, no need to sign-up, and you can pick, leave, or interpret the prompts as you please without any penalty or policing. The main aim is to get creating and squeeing and to have fun! Please feel free to a) leave a comment in this post with a link to your fills, and b) pimp the challenge far and wide. Somewhat longer explanation can be found in the Introduction Post, where you can also ask any further questions you have. 

 

And now, on with the first set of prompts/tasks, based on the first line of the poem.

Monday's child is fair of face

 

Create: Produce something that focuses on appearance (of a person, a thing, a place etc). Focus on describing and depicting the detail, or the overall impression. It doesn't have to be about beauty or attractiveness in any traditional sense, but whatever it is that is compelling, unique, impressive about the person, thing, place etc. Whilst this prompt is very visual, you can also focus on a non visual aspect of how someone/something appears, the first impression, the feeling, the atmosphere, the striking feature.

 

Squee: Share something beautiful, compelling, unique, impressive that everyone should see/experience. It could be a picspam of that drop dead gorgeous person, it could be your favourite painting, or a place you think everyone should have on their bucket list to visit before they die or something else entirely.

 

Have fun!

S'alright, I have no idea either. Like, why am I writing fic about a couple of teenagers in a 17 year old film? Why?
