"You'll Like This..."

change the color used to highlight text on your laptop

move the pictures on your wall

stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all

slightly vary your commute, even just by one street

change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed

drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real

shower with the lights off, without music

buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room

start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing

wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night

The other day I was feeling miserable, so I hopped on a bus and rode it all the way back to where I’d started, and my brain, which had finally had some proper stimulation via new environments, was suddenly ready to go again!

Thanks to @interfaceleader for submitting some prompts this year and asking if we’d be running the event.

Turks. The Investigation Sector of the General Affairs Department. The Department of Administrative Research. Whatever you call them, they know who you are, and what you’re doing there. You don’t want to be on their bad side, and unless they’re working for you, you don’t want them following you, not that you’d notice them unless they wanted you to. They’re an interesting bunch, full of secrets, their own and others.

Below we have the list of prompts. Feel free to be as creative with those as you want to, and take your time working on your entries, but please don’t forget to post them on the right date if you can. (But remember, late is better than never!) Don’t like the prompts, or need MOAR PROMPTS? Make up your own! Or pull from a previous year!

Mar 24 - Day 1. Contingency Plan / "We blew past Plan B a while ago..."

Mar 25 - Day 2. Dual Action / "Double the Turks, double the fun"

Mar 26 - Day 3. Exfiltration / "Getting in isn't the problem, it's getting out."

Mar 27- Day 4. Midnight Cheer / "When restless souls roam"

Mar 28 - Day 5. Wardrobe Malfunction / “Hey that’s my shirt!” “I’m not changing, you change!” “Where’s my clothes?” “I’m not wearing that!”

Mar 29 - Day 6. Training Day / “How do I do this again?” “Did you read the instructions?” “We’ll just wing it.” “I lied on my resume.”

Mar 30 - Day 7. Break Room / Free Day (What goes on in the break room in the Turks part of the ShinRa Tower? Or take this as a free day for your own prompt.)

Please remember to include the week’s tag (ffviiturkweek) within the first 5 tags or else we might be unable to find your work! We will NOT accept/reblog anything containing Character/Ship Hate, so avoid including those in your entries. Also don’t repost anyone else’s work as your own! You are welcome to reblog other’s posts, but credit where credit is due. (Please message Asylos directly on tumblr or Mirintala on Discord if your post missed being reblogged.)

You can submit your works on AO3 to the event collection at https://archiveofourown.org/collections/TurkWeek

And if you have any questions, don’t be afraid of sending an ask, or messaging the mod (link in the menu sidebar).

It’s that time of year again! My fandom trumps hate auction listing is live!
