Day 11 Theme - Senses

[cmk418]

Sight, Sound, Touch, Smell, Taste. Time to have your favorite female character go on a sensory journey.

Here are some ideas to get you started: What brings up a sense memory for her? What is most likely to cause sensory overload for them? What do they find sensual? What about other senses- intuition, sense of direction, sense of danger (aka the “spidey” sense)? Is she proud of her “fashion sense”? Are her senses limited in some capacity, and if so, how does she compensate? Someone could also “come to their senses.”

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 11 - Senses - Book Rec

[lightbird]

I come with another book rec for this prompt.

The prompt made me think of Gina Chung's novel Sea Change. The novel is sad, but it's also hopeful and beautifully written. The descriptions of sights and sounds and touch are visceral, particularly the descriptions of Dolores, a giant octopus that Ro, the protagonist, takes care of and bonds with. Dolores changes colors based on different moods and Ro has learned to read them somewhat. Ro is also able to touch Dolores.

Ro is depressed and in a rut after several changes that have occurred in her life (her boyfriend left her to embark on a mission to Mars, she and her best friend from childhood -- who works at the same aquarium -- have been drifting apart, etc.), and she drinks a lot. The story goes back and forth between past and present, and we're given insight into Ro's family history, including the dynamics between her parents and the disappearance of her father, a marine biologist, and how it has all affected her in the present. Ro finds solace in communing with Dolores, and the fact that Dolores was found by her father and brought to the aquarium from an expedition in the place where he is believed to have disappeared is an additional pull for her.

Sea Change is sad in many moments (and in the very beginning of the book we learn that a wealthy investor has decided to buy Dolores, which devastates Ro), but it does end on a hopeful note (and Ro does 'come to her senses' and work through things) and it's really quite a lovely read.

Fandom: Andor, Rogue One, Skywalker Saga
Fanwork type: vid

Rating and/or Content Warnings:
Links: Her Ex-Lover is Dead by PoliticalPadmé(magnetgirl)
Summary: When there's nothing left to burn, you have to set yourself on fire.

Reccer's Notes: This vid captures Mon Mothma's 'velvet hammer' approach to the rebellion. In this vid, I can feel it as she senses the Imperial grip tightening and it illuminates how she rebels with grace and eloquence and a lot of personal sacrifice.

Day 10: seasons, Yellowjackets, Natalie

[tellshannon815]

Title: One Year Gone
Fandom: Yellowjackets
Characters: Natalie
Rating: PG
Warnings: Spoilers all through S2
Summary: Summer's come around again, which logically should be easier, yet it brings the realisation that they've been stranded for a year.

Logically, they should be happier now that the long winter has passed and summer is here; for one thing, that should make it easier for Natalie to hunt animals again.

Yet at the same time, summer also brings with it the realisation that they’ve been stranded for a year now, something that’s caused them to lose hope in a way nothing else has quite succeeded in doing. By now, they’re probably a five minute segment on the news about the one year anniversary of the plane crash; active search parties are bound to have stopped long since. Travis was talking the other day about how it was a year since he’d lost his father, that even though they hadn’t always had the best relationship, the guy was still his father, he still had some good memories of him, and he needed time to process the anniversary. Natalie hadn’t been sure quite how to respond to that; when her own father’s anniversary had come up, not that long before they boarded the plane, she’d just got hammered with Kevyn to blot it out, passing out and waking up on the Tans’ bathroom floor the next morning. There hadn’t been any good memories that she had wanted to remember.

He'd talked about how he wished he could talk to Javi about it, and Natalie hadn’t known what to say about that either, because it had been her own actions in winter that had meant Travis could never talk to Javi again, something Travis still didn’t know the whole story behind.

They’re all finding it harder now the anniversary has come round; Akilah was in tears yesterday about the amount of her nephew’s life she had missed, Shauna was upset over Jackie’s birthday, and Misty’s been struggling since the thawing of the snow led to Crystal’s body being uncovered.

Natalie won’t give up hope; she’ll continue leading the survivors, hunting with Travis, finding some way to get them rescued if at all possible. Maybe summer will be the season that will bring them all home again.
