#jeanuary

HOLY SHIT I just found this in my drafts!! I fully answered and never posted 🤦🏼‍♀️

1. Favorite episode:

An honestly to god toss up between 2x02 and 5x02. In 2x02 we get Lucien and Jean singing together and being confused for husband and wife and Jean DANCING while she cleans, and for 5x02, the writers just heaped blessings on us.

10. Is there anything you could ramble on about all day? If so, this is your space to do so.

So many things, but I suppose if I must pick only one, I’d drone about how much the season one dynamic in the Blake House was a treasure. Danny, while occasionally an annoying little shit, had such a genuine dynamic with Mattie. They were just two kids who thought they knew the world, but crumbled under the shattering of those illusions. That felt so real to me. And Lucien and Jean were learning more about themselves every day as they adjusted to living together and finding their new roles and UGH WOW I LOVE THIS LIL FAMILY!

15. What is your unpopular opinion?

Jeanuary Day 18! Jean’s Big Bang! Sunroom

Since Jean spends so much time in the sunroom, I wanted to paint it from the perspective of someone looking through the door. Maybe Lucien is looking for Jean...

For Jeanuary this year, we thought we’d add in something a little different. Time to celebrate Jean with a Bang! 

A quick rundown:

What is a Big Bang?

It’s a chance for all of us to make some art celebrating our favorite lady. Gifsets, fanart, fics - long fics, short fics, 100 word drabbles, anything you like - screencaps, poetry, anything goes! 

Aren't Big Bangs for smut??

Ok yes. I have borrowed the general format and the name but this isn't about smut (unless you want it to be!)

How does it work?

The schedule is below. For the week of Jean’s birthday, each day has been assigned a prompt. Pic a prompt you like, and make something! Pick two! Do all of them, if you’re feeling adventurous! Start working now, and then post your work on the day your prompt comes up.

But I’ve never made anything before!!

That’s ok! Now is a great time to try something new, and you have a few weeks to work on it. There’s no limits, and that means nothing is too small, too short, too big, anything you can make, we want to see. If you get stuck and need some help, reach out to me or anyone in the Blake fam, and we’ll help where we can.

Here’s the schedule:

You can interpret the prompts in any way you want, there is no right or wrong way to read them, or to make something out of them. 

I’ll continue to post reminders between now and the start of the Big Bang. You can post your work at any time on the day of your prompt. Post it here on tumblr, and make sure you tag it #Jeanuary so we can find it and share the love.
