Sunshine Challenge Day 1



Prompt 1: Iris
They can represent faith, hope, courage, wisdom and admiration. Specific flower colors attach further meanings to the pretty blooms. Purple iris brings a message of wisdom and compliments, while a bouquet of blue iris blossoms speak of hope and faith.

First off, Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

Purple is my favourite color! I didn't think I would have anything to post today, but went through some bookmarks and found some purple-ish related things:

First a Steddyhands fic where Ed is under the influence of laudanum, didn't they used to call drugs the purple haze? Well I'm making it work for this prompt anyways. I really like this fic and how it shows how much Ed relied on Izzy, and Izzy 's torn feelings about Ed and their former relationship. Ed's walls being down with the drugs was interesting to see. I also felt the Stede and Izzy portion of the story felt quite natural, and it ends on a hopeful note:

Ache by xylodemon
Fandom: Our Flag Means Death
Word Count: 3582 words
Rating: T
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Izzy/Ed/Stede
Summary:Izzy tells Ed, "Lift up a bit," and slots the pillow under Ed's knee. As Ed settles, he glances at Bonnet. "When it gets like this, it hurts him less when it's bent."

This Interview with a Vampire vid set to Taylor Swift's Lavender Haze. It's well done, and I think it really highlights how Louie falls under Lestat's spell. (TW for blood, they are vampires afterall)



This fun vid about Gabriel from Good Omens, it will have you smiling, even when he's being an asshole. On a side note, I'm very interested to see how different Gabriel is going to be in season 2 (he looks very different in the trailer) and how much of the jerky Gabriel will shine through.



That's it for today, I hope you have a good one!

Gabriel, my beloathed ❤️🔪

I actually forgot how much of a little shit he is and how perfect Jon Hamm's facial expressions are, that video is the best way to remind me. Thanks for sharing!

I especially love the videos as I don't watch TV, so any context for these popular shows helps me know what friends are posting about. xD Thanks for sharing them!

Gabriel was one of my favorite parts of Good Omens, he had me laughing every time he popped up. Thanks for sharing the video!

Love the first vid! I was really impressed with how they updated the whole series.

I need to watch Good Omens. Listened to the full cast audiobook earlier this year and loved it. :D
