HAWKINSPROMPTS (ON HIATUS - LOOKING FOR MODS)

We're a fan-run source for fanfiction writers in the Stranger Things fandom. We post prompts Monday through Friday every week, each day having a different theme.

Mondays are Fluff Prompts Tuesdays are Angst Prompts Wednesdays are Smut Prompts Thursdays are Humor Prompts Fridays are Subject Prompts

Monday-Thursday's prompts will be intentionally vague ([A] and [B]) for you to insert any characters you'd like into the prompt. Friday's prompts will be the only prompts where we'll ever specify a pairing or character to go along with the prompt.

If you have a prompt suggestion, please feel free to send it to us via our ask box. Those posts will go out over the weekend when we're effectively 'off duty' and your blog will be tagged in the post.

If you end up using the prompt for a creative work, we'd really appreciate it if you mentioned the blog somewhere in your story notes and/or reblogged the prompt use. If you want us to share your story on this blog, please tag us so we can see it!

This blog is inclusive of all characters and pairings. Fandom discourse is not permitted beyond this point. Any and all negativity on this blog will result in an immediate block.

As always, let's keep this a positive creative space and a community resource first and foremost. Thank you for taking interest in our blog, and happy writing!

✏️ what no one tells you about how to journal 📒

i was sick of all the "how to journal" content out there recycling the same advice that sounds great but doesn't always work in the reality of daily life. you're welcome 😏 (also low-key a shitpost, but there are nuggets of wisdom in here, i promise 😇)

✍️ what to journal about ✍️

sure, you could journal about self development and treat your diary like your therapist, OR you could write about:

the pettiest grudge you're still holding onto from elementary school 😤

all the gossip about other people's lives that you have Strong Opinions™️ about, but you're a good person, so what goes in the journal, stays in the journal 🤫

all the witty comebacks you never say to people's faces because you're a sensible, non-confrontational person, but also you didn't think of it until later 🙃

the possibilities are endless, let your imagination run wild, and/or feel free to contact the blogger for more 🤭

🚫 when NOT to journal 🚫

this is just as, if not more, important as when to journal.

nothing to say — forget morning pages, i can barely string together a coherent greeting before lunch. also, a whole night's sleep is like a total memory wipe, so i have nothing to write about 🤷‍♀️ and don't listen to whoever says to just write "i have nothing to write about" because if you start enough entries with that, you're gonna begin to feel there's no point BUT THERE IS!! just not right now. and that's okay ☺️

too often — personally, i think it's important not to make journaling your one source of clarity 🔮 continue to think things through in your mind, confide in people you trust, and have moments (in nature, perhaps) that simply can't be transcribed to words 🌼

not feeling it — if you're too tired OR feel fulfilled and clear-headed enough about your day, don't make journaling a chore you have to do no matter what. if that means you don't journal everyday, then so be it 🌝

so when do you journal? in general, when doing so would add something to your day ☀️ whether that's peace, humor, gratitude, or something else.

🎁 materials 🎁

now for the fun part: let's go to the stationery store! 🛒

✒️ GET A PEN THAT WRITES SMOOTHLY! you are literally lowering the physical resistance that's keeping you from journaling, trust me it works. also pencils suck.

🔐 get a journal with a band, lock, clasp, button, etc. — just because it's fun, but it has the added benefit of securing your intellectual property(?)

have a separate journal for writing thoughts vs. schedules vs. todos vs. collections (TBR lists, recipes, etc.) — beats having to make and maintain a whole index to keep it all organized in just one (1) notebook 😵‍💫

🌸 stickers — are a pretty substitute for correction pens 😻 (in theory, but i have yet to use all the washi tape i bought 😅)

or just journal digitally, idgaf, do what works for you, okay? 😇

The blurred lines

Cross paths and hearts

Oh, how nothing could be more divine

How I only wish for a restart

To be with you once again

Oh, how I wish for that to be true

But it would only cause me pain

Because my head is full of thoughts of you

No matter how many times you read the poem you know he wouldn’t come back. It didn’t matter how many times you prayed because he wouldn’t come back. Was it your fault? No. No, maybe it was or maybe it wasn’t. You didn’t know. You would never know.

That’s just how things are supposed to go and your fucked up life. You would never meet that special someone. You would never have the life you wanted for yourself. You would never make your parents proud of you. You would have nothing to bring you the happiness that you wanted in your life.

If this were a fairytale… You would get your happy ending. Or maybe not because fairytales were meant to be happy, meant to bring tears of joy, a smile to your face. But none of that has happened to you. It never would.

You would get nothing. Nothing but sorrow and heartache. Because that’s what you deserved. All you deserved was to sit here and wallow in your emotions, stay stuck here writing poems about him. Him who will never come back to you. Because you didn’t deserve him. You never did deserve it. And yet you still see it differently, don’t you?

Because you loved him. At least that’s what you say. You loved him and it wasn’t your fault that he left you. There was another reason things turned out the way they did. Another lover of his. Or was it all just in your head? Were you just imagining there was someone else because you couldn’t bear the thought of him leaving you?

Of him, turning his back on you? Of him… Not loving you anymore. You say everything that’s coming out of my mouth is a lie. You say that you loved him. You always loved him. And he loved you just as you did him. If you loved him then why are you sitting here in this room? Your hands cuffed, tears shrieking down your cheeks? Then why did you confess to doing what you did?

Why did you write your final poem to him written in his blood? Why did you do it? Why do you say you love him yet you harmed him in the most violent way? Answer me that.

You answered. Simply because you loved him. A loud chuckle erupted from you. Tears streamed down your cheeks as you laughed. It was dark with no source of actual humor. Your eyes locked with mine as you spoke, not a once of remorse behind those eyes….no words as you spoke them.

“I loved him….I really did love him

But he was going to leave me

So I hurt him…it sounds grim

But you don't understand I couldn't let him…free

He understands that now…

He knows I love him…I always will

At least I hope he does when we meet again somewhere…somehow

So yes, I was the one who killed.”

The words left your mouth so easily. No sign or hesitation to lie. It was all unsettling but the thing that sent shivers down the interviewer’s spine was the fact that it came out as a poem. You were rhyming and yet maintaining eye contact that sent a chill down their spine. You knew you did wrong. And that was what made this even scarier.

The interviewer gulped and looked over the papers that were given to them. This was a tough case and one of the most brutal ones. He took a deep breath and looked at the camera before looking back at you. The interviewer cleared his throat and looked through the questions.

The first one being what you did with the body. "What did you do with the body, miss (L/n)?"

"I left it by the sea...the body of him.

The man I loved and cherished

It's what he deserved...to rot and die

For he was a man who deserved to cry.”

The second question, which was the worst, was what happened during the act. "What did you do while performing the act of murder, miss (L/n)."

"I sang and cried

I didn't want to be alone

But he had to leave

He was going to go on his own

But I couldn't let him go

I didn't want to lose him

So I wrote my poems

And I did what I must do

And when it was all said and done

I did the right thing.”

"The right thing is killing the person who meant the most to you? Who loved and cared for you? That is not the right thing and you know that. So what drove you to do it? What made you snap?"

"I...he was...we weren't going to be together anymore"

"And that was a good enough reason for you to murder him?"

"Yes.” It was then the interviewer had enough of the interrogation and stood up from his chair. He turned his back on the camera and turned his attention towards the guard who stood in front of the door. "Get her out of here."

"Yes, sir" You watched the guard walk in and take a hold of you. You didn't struggle. There was no use. You just let the guard lead you out. There would be no struggle at least not for you anymore.

The next day you would be found dead. Suicide. At least that was what was assumed. In truth, no one really knew what happened to you. The last person who saw you was the interviewer who talked with you.

But if one were to look closely into your room, they would find a poem written in blood, your blood on the cell wall. A poem that would be read in the paper the following day.

“They say I killed him

Because that's what I said

But they're wrong...

I only wanted to set him free

So now I'll join him

In a world where there is no more pain

We'll be together again

Forever and ever...

I'll be with him.

Because I’m a poet of him.”

✦ Mal ou mau?

Essa é uma das maiores dúvidas da humanidade! Bem, talvez da humanidade não, mas foi uma dúvida minha por bastante tempo e acredito que de grande parte das pessoas que escrevem também.

Apesar da pronuncia igual e de ambos se referirem a algo ruim, mal e mau são diferentes em suas aplicações e o Desafiando vai tentar te explicar sobre isso e como identificar qual o uso correto em algumas situações. Bora lá?

⠀

Um ponto-chave para saber diferenciar essas palavras é o seguinte: mal, escrito com l, se refere ao modo como se faz algo, enquanto mau, com u, trata-se de uma característica. Ficou confuso? Vou exemplificar.

Quando falamos Ana canta mal, o "mal" se refere a como ela canta. Por sua vez, ao dizer Aquele homem é mau, "mau" é uma característica deste homem.

Isso é importante para entender aquele macete muito propagado que também ajuda muito na hora de escrever essas palavrinhas: a troca pelos opostos.

Mau é o contrário de bom. Mal é o contrário de bem. Para saber então qual deles usar, é só trocarmos as sentenças. Usando os exemplos de cima, teríamos: Ana canta bem e Aquele homem é bom.

Bem, assim como mal, se refere ao modo. Por sua vez, bom, assim como mau, é um adjetivo, atribui uma característica.

Porém, se você não quiser ter que lembrar disso tudo na hora de escrever, tem uma dica super legal também, que vai acompanhar a imagem de resumo desse post retirada do Instagram do jottaconcursos:

Percebe que conseguimos fazer uma ligação entre as últimas letrinhas? Fica muito mais fácil, não é?

Com tudo isso, você já consegue saber quando usar mau ou mal? Teste suas habilidades com as questões de complete a seguir:

Felipe toca esse instrumento ___.

Carlos está comendo ___.

Joana está de ___-humor hoje.

Tati fez um ___ trabalho.

⠀

Ficou ainda alguma dúvida? Tem alguma sugestão de post? Quer saber sobre o Desafiando? Manda uma mensagem pra gente! Será bom (o contrário de mau, hein? hahaha) ajudar!

Epa, epa! Não vai embora ainda não! Deixa seu coraçãozinho e aproveita para dar aquele reblog fofo, para que mais pessoas possam conhecer o Desafiando! Nosso primeiro desafio já está disponível! Clica aqui para conferir ;)

⠀

Send me a ✒️ and I'll pick a poem I think you'd like

Okay Jayden I'm going to be honest you were very difficult here. As I flipped through I didn't see any poems that really jumped out at me strongly, and the ones that did stick out more were pretty subtle (both in the poems themself and how much i thought they seemed like you) so there's a chance I'm way off base here. BUT for you I ended up picking "Grammar" by Tony Hoagland. This is a poem that almost didn't make it into my collection, but the unique metaphor used really hooked me in both how unrelated it seems and how it really works.

Other poems that vaguely stuck out were

"A Ghazal of Oranges" by Jan-Henry Gray

"My Dead Friends" by Marie Howe

"Tenebris Interlucentem" by James Elroy Flecker

"Snow" by David Berman

"This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams

Edit: also "When I Tell My Husband I Miss the Sun, He Knows" by Paige Lewis

I also maybe got a bit of a feeling that you would like some stuff by W. H. Auden? But none of his stuff I had seemed right at all and it can be a bit on the longer side of things (in relation to short/mid length poems) so I didn't include any. Some Auden poems I like are "Funeral Blues" "In Memory of W. B. Yeats", and "A Summer Night"* but none of those struck me as quite right while flipping through.

*conflicting feelings abt the last 2 stanzas here, pretty dated to when it was written in 1934

Anyways, thanks for the ask! (And humoring me about poetry!) I very much had a difficult time putting this guess together so don't be surprised if it's way off the mark. I was mostly running off of vague vibes and feelings here

#poetry tag #answered #threephantomrey #i think the really hard part for this one is that i didn’t have any idea of what themes i wanted to go for with you #like with anu before i had a little bit of an idea and sense of it but here it was pretty much nothing so it made it hard to get started #like it was like wandering around looking for something in the dark with only a candle to go off of #which was still very enjoyable dont get me wrong i love going through poems #but harder in a different way #ANYWAYS unless im wrong and something on this list here or the main pick is really spot on im doubtful that i have your poem or anything #close to it in my notebook. which is very interesting and makes me want to read more poetry right this instant #blah

I couldn’t remember what kind of pen to send for you to gush about OC’s, so have all the pen emojis 🖊🖋🔏✒️

Awww thank you friend!!! Hmmm let's see-- OOH I KNOW WHO TO GUSH ABOUT

Okay, he's not one I've talked about on Tumblr before. His name is Alec Lineran, and I love him very very much. His dad is a king, but he's kinda been disowned because of complicated reasons (for instance: his dad sucks) and is no longer in line for the throne. In my retellings, he's the prince in Rapunzel and GOSH I love him. He's got this ridiculous sense of humor and glasses and messy hair and this incredible friends to lovers slow burn arc that I'm so so so excited to start writing. Also his best friend is a pirate. And he has an Australian accent. And his face claim is young John Krasinski

OC ask game!

#thanks for the ask!!#alec lineran #alec is my DARLING #he's such a fun character who i haven't fully had the chance to write a lot about #but he and his love interest live RENT FREE in my head #my ocs #oc ask game

[A] may have fibbed on their resume a little. They really needed a job, okay? It seemed like a harmless white lie— that is, until their first day at work comes. What’s worse than embarassing yourself at work?

Embarassing yourself in front of your hot new coworker, that’s what.

Hello, narrator.

I have a few questions and things to say just because I need them off my chest.

One, worst thing Stanley has done?

Two, the most annoying ending?

Three, opinion on silly cats?

Alright, that's all for questions, and now I need to say.

Buddy, you got me through a ROUGH time in life, lots of very upsetting things happened recently, and I have to be honest I'm finally taking its toll, and recently ive started seeing you as some guidance figure. I'm glad I can find some sort of comfort in some way while I deal with life, and I just gotta say, THANK. YOU. SO. MUCH. You have made my life feel better every time I turn on my game, and I can say I definitely see you as some guidance figure of some sort, so thank you.

Oh also, I own like 5 buckets so beat that.

From, VOID

Oh would you look at that this is a long ask this should be fun.

The worst thing stanley has done… well to keep it vague not to upset my self and possibly others… there’s a reason I hate the color red.

Second the most annoying “ending” I can think of is one I didn’t intend to have. And simply it’s stanley jumping off of the cargo lift. At first it seemed stanley attempted to parkour horribly just for a closer peek at what may be down there. But of course it always ends in his demise. And though I’ve made it clear there is no safe way to get down there without his life coming to an end he still attempts it every now and again and it’s become increasingly annoying. At first it was a bit humorous but now? Now it’s just plain annoying.

Third question, I have always been particular to cats. I adore them. They are calm and warm. They have such beautiful eyes I just adore though there tendency’s to knock things down for no reason other then to be a duche is a high annoyance it’s easy to tolerate once you’ve gotten used to it. Though “silly cats” aren’t part of my preference. I do not hate them of course but if a cat is “to silly” it can and will mess up just about every thing in its premises for the sake of its own amusement.

And lastly dear reader I have read your words and I must say…

Thank you. Your words have moved me in a sense, it moves me to hear some one enjoys hearing me and that I bring some one much needed comfort. If only I heard such kind words before the “cookie9” incident…

Reader I just must give some words of guidance some words I think might help you along your own path in life.

It may feel as though the world is trying to sink you. It may feel like life is one big void sucking you in. as though it’s easier to let it swallow you up and let go but that isn’t the way. You dear reader are a bright flame and though it’s hard to fuel that flame with such negative winds blowing your way it’s not impossible to pass through. You are the narrator and hero of your own story. You light your own path and your own way. The road may be rough as there is ups and downs in any story but you will have your happy ending. Just never give up.

It may not feel like it now, but you are in control. And you will make it. I just know you will. You have to believe it to achieve it void.

Signe- wait- WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH FIVE BUCKETS?! THE POWER OF TWO TOGETHER IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN EXPLOSION-

ARE YOU TRYING TO SET THIS BLOG A BLAZE? I MAY HAVE SAID KEEP YOUR FIRE BURNING BUT I MEANT THAT METAPHORICALLY NOT PHYSICALLY!

✒️SINCERELY THE NARRATOR-

BUT SERIOUSLY NO MORE BUCKETS

EVELYNE BROCHU back in Quebec for CHOUCHOU

✒️ Vincent Marcelin / La Presse

Evelyne Brochu is officially back in the country after living in France for several months. On the occasion of the shooting of Chouchou, a series expected on Novoo in the fall, the actress told La Presse about her joy to find the warm atmosphere of Quebec.

Evelyne Brochu is not the type to laze around. Earlier this year, while she was shooting the sequel to Paris Police 1900 in France, she was preparing the shooting of Chouchou, a series written by Simon Boulerice. “I’ve been doing the in and out since January," says the Quebec actress, who has been seen in Trop.

Her stay in Paris allowed her to open up to new perspectives. “When we travel, we try to break our reference points, to break the routine, to renew our view of the world,” she explains. “To learn, to be turned upside down, to experience something else and therefore be different, because we are in another context and that reveals something else about us.”

For this second season produced by Canal+, aptly titled Paris Police 1905, Evelyne Brochu reprised her role as Marguerite Steinheil, this courtesan reconverted to espionage during what is known as the Belle Époque.

LIKE A RETURN TO THE ROOTS

After this new experience abroad, returning to Quebec was an obvious choice for Evelyne Brochu.

“There is a real pleasure in being in a kind of family feeling: the referents are common, the sense of humor is already embodied, because it is the same since our childhood.”

— Evelyne Brochu

Evelyne Brochu has therefore launched this new challenge, which she approached by a preparation provided before the shooting. “I still had a month here to make meetings, fittings. We had a lot of discussions, so we felt in familiar territory.”

In Chouchou, the actress plays Chanelle, a French teacher consumed by an illicit passion for one of her students. She shares the stage with a prestigious trio made up of Lévi Doré (Sandrick, the student in question), Steve Laplante (Jeff, Chanelle’s partner) and Sophie Cadieux (Sandrick’s mother).

The 39-year-old actress is pleased to have formed a bond of affection with the production team of Chouchou. “On set, there's a kind of familiarity, like when you go home and say, ‘This is our home.’” “Caring,” “tender” and “magical” are the three words she remembers to describe her co-workers.

A climate of trust that puts her in the best conditions for the rest of the shoot. "I feel so protected, welcomed and supported, I feel that we want to protect, love and cherish each other. It gives the feeling that everything is cushioned, that we just have to go for it," explains the actress.

A NECESSARY MATURITY

Directed by Marie-Claude Blouin and Félix Tétreault, the series written by Simon Boulerice tackles difficult themes such as adultery, poverty and drug addiction. “I think it was great that there was this sense of security and comfort, because there were going to be sensitive and uncomfortable things to talk about,” says Evelyne Brochu.

The role of Chanelle, which involves “challenges from an emotional and physical commitment standpoint,” led the actress to enter a phase of introspection.

“There are certain characters where it's best to get away from that. My big job for this role was to get as close to myself as possible. Of my fragility, of my vulnerability.”

— Evelyne Brochu

More than her sense of interpretation, her life experiences helped her embody her character. “Having more life experience sometimes prepares you for a role without having to intellectualize it. Evelyne Brochu cites the birth of her two twins in November 2021, which helped her better understand her character's fears about the consequences of her adultery.

“When Chanelle feels the danger of losing her family, it’s an emotion I can imagine,” she emphasizes. The 39-year-old actress is also looking forward to the projects that await her, especially in the cinema. She mentions a romantic comedy with a “cool American actor”, which will begin shooting in August.

“It’s very exciting. And I think it will be good to change universe after this great dive for Chouchou”, she concludes with a smile.

Your writing is spectacular to me. It's so beautifully written and so immersive. RP'ing with you is a joy! I also love your humor and creativity with how you fleshed out Mohg's character. I can't wait to see more from you."
