Non-Rec: In the Manner of Violets

 

Prompt 7: Violet

Violet is a cheerful color that is associated with a variety of things including: originality, self-esteem, insight, poetry, discernment, understanding, creativity, music, perception, inhibition, and health.

 

Insight, understanding, and creativity are some wonderful qualities to concentrate on for our final 2020 prompt. Here we ask you: what things are you able to offer others to bring a little sunshine into their lives?

 

Don’t take on more than you can handle, but if you are able to share one nice thing for another participant, that would be great! If taking requests is not feasible, please do answer the prompt as you are inspired to. We’d love to see what you’re able to share. ♥

~~~~~~

So while I know that violet and purple are two distinct colors for the purposes of this prompt I am going to use them interchangeably. Purple is often associated with royalty largely because of the historical expense of purple dyes (as well as laws enacted to keep it a royal color). Today's recs feature a selection of royals who may or may not have worn purple robes but fit the bill as monarchs in their respective realms.

Non-Rec: In the Pink of Health

 

Bonus: Magenta/Pink
So, I've said before that I was expecting the last two prompts to be purple/violet and magenta/pink but as it has not turned out that way I've decided to go ahead and do a magenta/pink entry anyway because ~~LESBIANS~~. For better or worse, pink has become inextricably linked to women and femininity and thus, I could not resist making up a list just for the ladies.

Summary: Jim experiences a sudden insight- he is in love with Spock. Fortunately, Spock Prime foresaw this eventuality and has ensured that Jim will have access to the knowledge that he needs to seduce his t'hy'la.

Recommendation: Jim seduces Spock, but with the Hints Menu activated. I love that Jim is so patient, he never tries to skip ahead each step is given it's due because he so obviously wants to do this right.
