Awe-gust 2025 Prompt List! 💥🎸⛅️🐉🐶💕

(I’m sharing this prompt list in advance so that folks have time to prepare)

So, I actually kind of had this idea last year, but didn’t know how to follow through with it (and I wouldn’t be surprised if this post just disappears into the tumblr abyss due to my lack of a full plan…).

Anyway, this is Awe-gust, which can be more associated with Awesome August than with @awegust, just to clear up any confusion.

So, the general objective of this is, starting on the first day of August, to create for each day something that is awesome, awful, awe-inspiring, or adorable, based on the prompts listed below. Bonus if you combine them with prompts related to Smaugust and/or Doggust! Your results can be visual art like sketches and paintings, literary art like short stories and poetry, something that combines the mediums like a comic, or even something related to the performing arts like a dance routine or a song (whether it be cover or original).

Even if you don’t manage to do all of them, I hope you have an awesome time coming up with ideas for them and I look forward to seeing what you do for this!

Awe-Gust 2025 | Day 1 | Seed

[Photo ID: The fully capitalized word “AWEGUST” on a dusty rose to navy gradient rectangle, the background full of multicoloured sparkles. End ID.]

I’ve been wanting to do a writeblr/artblr event for awhile to try to bring more activity to the communities, and over the past week or so I’ve been brainstorming up a month of weekly prompts along with a BINGO card to fill out! Obviously this is partially inspired by the brilliance that is @writeblrsummerfest​, but with more of a focus on appreciating and celebrating our fellow artists and writers! (It’s also a far smaller event. ^^)

So what is this “Awegust”?

Aside from a terribly non-creative name, this is a month-long event where I’m going to be posting up prompts weekly over on a blog named @awegust to encourage artblrs and writeblrs to reblog posts from, tag, send asks to, and make things for their favourite creators!

There will also be a BINGO card that you can attempt to complete four or more of the prompts to get a straight line, or to maybe even to fill out the whole card!

All posts that are tagged with #awegust will be reblogged to this blog as well!

Below this, in the same colours with smaller and slightly lighter text, twenty five squares arranged in a giant square each have prompts written in them. These are shown below! End ID.]

AWEGUST BINGO CARD

Throughout the month of Awegust (an August event to celebrate and appreciate our fellow creators on Tumblr!) you can attempt to achieve a “BINGO” on this BINGO card!

That means, whether you want to try and do it all at once, or accomplish pieces throughout the month, you can aim to complete five prompts (or four, if including the FREE SPACE slot) in a line! For a lot of bonus points, you can even try to fill the entire card and do every prompt!

At the end of the month, post up your filled out BINGO card and there may even be prizes for the winners!

And yes, one action can fulfill multiple prompts at once! MAKE SURE YOU TAG THEM #awegust, so I can see them!

PROMPTS

These are listed below the cut, from left to right, top to bottom as they appear on the card, with further information for clarification:

Hey besties, welcome to lilahswriting, or welcome back. This blog has been through a major overhaul and I have too, personally speaking. My name is Delilah and I’m a writer. I try to say that with as much conviction as possible and hope that it will inspire me to actually write every now and then. I hope to share some of that writing with you on this blog.

G E T T O K N O W  dee (or lilah)

I think the best way to really get to know me is to stay tuned because the only thing I can accurately promise you about myself is that I’m not what anyone expects of me, myself included. That said though, here are the basics:

my friends and family either call me Lilah or Dee, both of which you are free to call me as well.

she/her and 21

still a gemini sun / virgo moon / libra rising — that hasn’t changed since my last intro post so make of that what you will

occasional poet

i procrastinate a lot and write very little but i’m trying to change that ratio

my multifandom sideblog can be found here for all sorts of chaos

other than writeblr stuff, you can expect me to reblog poetry and information about stuff that’s important to me

W O R K S  in progress

The Enigma Club [still a working title] — a contemporary fantasy novel that follows Aphea King, a newly-of-age witch who turns out to be the first Curse Bearer in centuries, as she unearths the consequences of great power and the Dark history of her ancestors.

[Untitled HP Fanfic] — all I will say about this is that it is coming very soon and its not about who you think its about. 

I also have a few one shots in progress for different fandoms so keep an eye on this blog and my ao3 (also lilahswriting) to see if you find something you like. 

If you would like to be included on any tag lists, feel free to send me an ask (off anon) and I’ll add you to it.

T A G G I N G  index

potentials triggers will always be tagged in the format [trigger] tw

all shitposts, etc. will be tagged as little talks

anything pertaining to my wips will be tagged with its title

all original writing content will be tagged *lilahswriting

Hi there, I’m Peggy! I write YA urban and contemporary fantasy, but I’m open to reading all sorts of genres! Some of my favorite tropes include found family, deconstructions of the hero/villain paradigm, magic systems that toe the line between fantasy and horror, religious imagery/symbolism, and did I mention found family?

Some writers I adore who deserve all the love:

@dycefic is easily one of the most talented writers I have ever met and never fails to wow me with the most breathtaking, thought-provoking, stubbornly hopeful stories I have ever read in my life.

@keen2meecha is one of the sweetest, kindest writers who is gifted ;) with the ability to juggle an enormous cast of diverse, charming, and fun characters with ease.

@angelolytle‘s writing features incredible LGBTQ+ casts, beautiful worldbuilding, and thoughtfully-executed elements of horror that never fail to draw me in.
