Day 3 Theme - Blood, Sweat, and Tears

[cmk418]

Ah, the sweet bodily fluids of life! Or what we feel we've given after a hard day at work or just a hard workout.

Here are some ideas to get you started: On the battlefield, getting sweaty with a lover, laughing so hard she cried, childbirth. Or tell us about or show us footage of a female athlete that you find inspiring.

Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.

Day 2: Change — BtVS / Fanart — The Power Within

[veronyxk84]

Title: The Power Within
Artist: veronyxk84
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Characters: Darla, Drusilla, Anya, Willow, Buffy, Harmony
Warning: some vampire and demon faces displayed. If you're familiar with BtVS / AtS you know which ones from the character list.

Content: 1 panel (500x450)
Made for: halfamoon
Theme: Day 2: Change

Meta:
Change happens in many ways, for everyone. Sometimes we seek that change, sometimes circumstances force us to make a change, sometimes there are changes in our environment that affect us (in)directly. Sometimes we might feel the need to change our appearance or our attitude or both.
Life is change.
The fanart I present today is about supernatural ladies, so their changes are not exactly relatable, but the way they changed followed the same rules: some of them decided they wanted to change, some had the change forced on them, some were driven by the circumstances.
All of them found a new power within.
Some used it to do good, some to do evil, some were lingering in a grey area between the two.
Sometimes change is for the better, sometimes it’s for the worse... either way, we must power through.

Day 3: Blood, Sweat, & Tears - Buffy, the Vampire Slayer

[luvbarryfefe]

This prompt screamed Buffy to me. She literally poured all her blood, sweat, and tears into her job of saving the world from the forces of darkness and was vastly underappreciated for it too. She was a heroine who deserves all the love and understanding.

I made a banner of Buffy for the challenge which you can find HERE on my journal, but I also want to share a flashback clip of one of my favorite scenes from the show. It's the scene where Buffy tells her mom Joyce about being the slayer. It's such a powerful moment. The acting! The writing! The emotion! It's everything. They really don't make TV shows like this anymore.

Summary:

Unable to contain herself, she wailed, her cries creating an eerie almost harmonizing effect with the screams of the girl in front of her. She wanted Nat. She hadn’t seen her since the rescue, but she’d never wanted Nat more in her life. The vision in front of her changed. In front of her was someone’s dead body – she couldn’t tell who it was. Someone had taken a bite out of their body, and the second that Lottie noticed, she was hit with a wave of nausea. She could taste the meat, smell the burning flesh.

And then, her door opened. She whipped her head around, her face wet with tears. Her eyes widened when she saw Nat standing in the open doorway. Still crying, she took her thumb out of her mouth, reaching for Nat with grabby hands. Behind Nat, she could see shadows of monsters that were there for her. That had come to take her away, for doing bad things in The Wilderness.

Day 3: Blood, Sweat, and Tears, the first female shogun of an alternate historical Japan

[kiestan]

I watched Ooku: The Inner Chambers, an anime series on Netflix, last year. It chronicled an alternative history of feudal Japan where men were often afflicted with a fatal disease, resulting in a majority-women nation and a matriarchal society. The anime follows how the first female shogun and her harem of men who could never leave the palace’s inner chambers — the Ooku — came to be.

This shogun, Tokugawa Chie, and her story really stayed with me. And she definitely shed blood, sweat and tears. Lots of it.

( Why Chie and this story are awesome (as spoilerless as possible) )

tldr: Chie’s character blew me away, and this anime and the original manga deserve some pimping! Highly recommended if you like intensely entertaining shows or if you like stories set in the Edo period! Netflix trailer here.

Admins, may I have a Ooku: The Inner Chambers tag please? :)
