aroberuka | July Break Bingo!

I signed up for July Break Bingo – a nice, low pressure event over on Tumblr. Because I’m greedy and like having options, I asked for one of each kind of card and got the following:

5x5 card

[Prompts, from left to right and top to bottom: Thinking with their Head or Thinking with their Heart ◦ Scars / Hidden Scars / Birthmarks / Markings / Brandings / Scratches ◦ On a Mission or Gala / Press Event ◦ Waterfall ◦ Losing / Misplacing Something Irreplaceable / Heirlooms / Inheritance ◦ Feather ◦ Distant ◦ Secret Revealed or Secret Hidden ◦ Wish ◦ Compliments or Insults ◦ Stumbling / Staggering / Can’t Walk / Crutches / Bed Ridden / Comatose ◦ Knight in Shining Armor or Dragon ◦ FREE ◦ Pokémon AU ◦ Reading Outside or Gardening ◦ Giant ◦ Old Friends or New Friends ◦ Darkness ◦ Quarantine / Isolation / Taking a Break from the World / Off the Grid ◦ Chronic Pain or Chronic Illness ◦ Passionate ◦ Normal ◦ Surprise Royalty! or Meeting a long lost Twin ◦ 5+1 ◦ Dance]

3x3 card

[Prompts, from left to right and top to bottom: Torture ◦ Endings ◦ Reflection ◦ Shared Trauma or Chaotic Mess ◦ FREE ◦ Forced to Work Together / Locked in a Room / Snowed In / Caved-in ◦ Lost ◦ Abandon ◦ Hunger]

flash card

[Prompts, from left to right: Roses ◦ Treasure Hunting or Tomb Raiding ◦ FREE ◦ CPR ◦ First Words / Those Three Words / Parting Words / Last Words]

I really like them! though it is extremely funny to me that the 5x5 and flash cards are a fairly even mix of tones but the 3x3 bingo card is like, 'whump and angst, whump and angst, who wants some whump and angst!' xD that’s luck of the draw for you.

Anyway, part of the reason why I signed up is that the event seem really chill and ‘do whatever is fun for you and don’t sweat too much about the details’, which is good because I definitely intend to take some liberties with it – I’ll probably keep working on it all summer for one thing, and I also like the idea of using these prompts as inspiration for a variety of things outside of fanworks. Like, maybe I’ll tell you about 5+1 things I like, or read a book about giants, or find a cool feather to share. Maybe I’ll actually go read outside for a bit. I don’t know. Right now I’m just enjoying the rush of creativity from shiny new prompts °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
