It's Here! The Date And Prompts For NyxWeek2023!

It's here! The date and prompts for NyxWeek2023!

Thanks so much for everyone who voted and proposed prompts. We really appreciate your help. Thanks to you, we have a date - June 4-10, and a collection of great prompts. We've organized the highest-voted prompts so that each day has a theme, three prompts, and a color palette, except for the final day which is a free day.

The rules will be the same as last time: write, draw, etc using at least one prompt (or palette!) for the day, and try to post it on the day with the tags #NyxWeek2023, the appropriate day and the prompt, and we'll reblog or retweet as we can, with a summary post for each day and the whole week at the end. If you post late, that's perfectly fine. What we want is more context for Nyx, so whatever time we get it is great!

For easy reference, here are the prompts for each day:

Day 1 (June 4): Danger: Rescue, Captivity, Blades Day 2 (June 5): Power: Magic, Shapeshifter, Storm Day 3 (June 6): Duty: Right Thing, Royal AU, Ring Day 4 (June 7): Companionship: Comrades, Soulmate AU, Home Day 5 (June 8): Ends: Fear, Galahd, Sunset Day 6 (June 9): Hope: Comfort, Hero, Dreams Day 7 (June 10): Free Day. And the hex codes and color names (just for fun) under the cut:

Day 1

#FCF7A5 Calamansi (Yellow) #E3894A Jasper Orange #772037 Claret (Red) #1E257E St. Patrick’s Blue

Good luck to everyone! We look forward to seeing what you create!

Glauca finding his s/o on the battlefield and they try to stop him not knowing it’s Titus

Hi anonie! Thank you for being patient with me. Titus strikes me as a guy who will act differently if it's just not that serious (booty call if you want) or established relationship.

--

Y/S- your surname

Glauca/ Titus Drautos

It was a complete accident that you two met at the battlefield. You were scouting ahead when you stumbled on his "hiding" spot. "Do NOT engage with him! Retreat Y/S, I will send assault team your way." spoke up Luche from your communicator. You despide warning from Luche, prepared your kukris. Magic danced behind your eyes wildly, demanding to be unleashed. " But we don´t get better chance than now, I am going in!"

Not established relationship:

He will not be gentle with you, it was your own fault for enganging him without backup

you do hold your own against him but ... Glauca is feared rightfully for his reputation as you found out firsthand

He was suprised to see you there, engaging him on your own like some rookie ( " What a stupid move, little glaive. One that you will pay for!")

Glauca fight offensively and brutally. You almost don´t see his sword, when exchanging blows with him

You were severely bleeding when he got you on the ground, prepared to execute you (" What a shame. Thought you could do more than that, soldier.")

If it wasn´t for your comrades arrival, you would probably be dead

He did a number on you, Glauca didn´t hold back in slightest. (some broken bones, severe bleeding, probably some trauma) You were lucky that you survived

You´ve got a lecture from Titus regarding your safety. And two weeks at the gate, for disobeying an order

Established relationship:

well well well ... He doesn´t want to fight you, yet Titus can´t reveal himself and break his cover

he´s more on the defensive side, but don´t be mistaken. Glauca packs a punch when you´re not careful enough

subconsciously Titus tries to suppress Glauca, because he doesn´t want to kill you

Titus is trying to make you yield, or at least make you run away with his intimidation ( "I killed many of your comrades, glaive. What makes you think that you won´t end like them?")

You will get hurt, but those are just bruises that will heal in time (People are so suprised, you survived the encouter with him)

Oh boy, Titus will chew you for that stunt! He would grab you by your shoulders and shake you (" Why are you doing this to me?! God damnit, I could lose you today, love!!")

He tries to lie to himself that your injuries doesn't bother him, he was Glauca at the time ( It doesn´t work, btw)

Titus will be more tender with you. Will help you take care of your injuries in private of your shared home (he may even kiss them to make them feel better)

I am super happy to show you friends the book I've got a week ago. (It took me so long to find it in a bookstore)

It' the FFXV: Dawn of the Future!

And I want to share a little sneak peak of the concept art that's at the end.

Poll #3

Thank for indulging our worldbuilding question last week. We had fun hearing the variety of thoughts on our poor, inconsistent world of Eos. As always, a reminder that there is no wrong answers to these polls.

We should have a little throwback treat for you as well this weekend, but for now, here's poll #3, bringing it back to Nyx.
