Hey yall, I just saw brokeback mountain for the first time. I also just learned that it didnt win best picture but it was saved in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". I can see why. Besides being emotionally devastated by the film, I realize I've never seen a film that loved and grounded itself in the gorgeous world outside. I cant really explain it. Any shmuck can take a drone and fly it over a national park, but this movie capitalized on it like I've never seen before. I need more, got any recs? Any genre welcome.

For this challenge, we have three different prompt tables. Every table comes with 49 prompts. You will grab one of them when signing up.

General rules
Every Sunday, I will roll the die to appoint your weekly main prompt and the extra chance.
To participate, you must create something in response to the main prompt.

You can also use one/two neighbour prompts (all squares around your weekly main prompt) to create one work for each.

The extra chance comes with a request or offers a small benefit. The use is optional.

Example Post here.

:::

Every prompt can be used only once during the challenge period!

You are not allowed to combine the main prompt with a neighbor prompt.
Both neighbor prompts can be combined into one work.
The extra chance can be combined with every work.

Fandom works, original works, and real-person works are allowed. Crossover works are fine.

Icons and graphic works should be edited visibly.

You can only play one table at a time. If you want to change your table, you can use some tokens from your Joker card.

Joker Card
At the beginning of the challenge, everyone gets one Joker Card with 15 tokens.
You can use these tokens in different ways:
1. Missed week - use three tokens, and you can catch up with the week later.
2. Change your main prompt - use five tokens, and you can choose a different main prompt.
3. Change the card - use four tokens to choose a different card. Keep in mind, if you want to do more fills for your first card later, you will have to use four tokens again to go back!

Minimum and Points
1. Main Prompt
You get one main prompt every week. To participate, you must create one work for it.

Minimum
200 words
2 connected haiku
1 poem (ten lines)
3 icons
1 animated graphic (150x300 pxl)
1 graphic (300x500 pxl)

You will earn 3 points for filling the prompt.

2. Neighbor Prompts (optional)
You can choose one/two neighbor prompts every week.

Minimum
100 words
1 haiku
1 poem (five lines)
1 icon
1 graphic (150x300 pxl)

You will earn 1 point for every filled prompt.

3. Extra Chance (optional)
Every week offers an extra chance. Combine the extra chance with one, two, or all of your weekly prompts. Rewards can be extra points for following a request or small benefits.

Team Challenge
Again we will have a team challenge for even more extra points. Check it out here..

Questions
If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask here.

Participation in the team challenge is optional. If you don't want to participate, no one will blame you. But keep in mind that in this case, you will miss the chance to earn more points.

In this team challenge we will have two teams but only one card, which will get filled with all participants together.

Important Links (will get added when the challenge starts)
Team Alpha
Team Omega

The Rules
Both teams will play on the same card.
There are 36 squares = prompts.
Every square can be filled multiple times by different participants.

Every participant can fill one square every week.
All worktypes are allowed.
Minimum graphics: 1 icon
Minimum writing: 1 haiku / 1 drabble

Points
Every filled prompt will bring one point for your team / one individual point.

The Dice
Once a week, I will roll the dice. One square of each line will get a double chance; one square of the card will get a triple chance.
If a chance square is filled, the team points and the individual points for this fill will count 2x / 3x.
The chance squares will get reallocated every Sunday.

Completing the card will bring 5 extra points for the finishing team.

When a card is completed, there will be a new card!


Posting
Post your work at [community profile] fandom_empire_workplace.
Use a cut for works bigger than three icons / one haiku.
Make a note in the subject line = week x and team, and tag the work with your team tag (and any other appropriate tag).

Idk if I missed something or if it's cos I'm not from around the US to understand the geopolitical context behind that hostility, but why was the cop so rude to Rambo in this movie in the opening few minutes?

He was simply just walking, and the cop rolled in and verbally harassed him like he was a terrorist of some sort.

He said stuff like "wearing that flag on that jacket, looking the way you do, asking for trouble around here".

That was an American flag on his chest; he was walking on American lands. And that jacket was an army jacket, I think? I'm not sure.... He also kept talking about how he's worried that his place would be filled with "people like him" if he treat Rambo well and let him go and all that.

And after a while, he came back to Rambo while he was simply walking and tried to arrest him for no reason whatsoever. Arrested for "vagrancy", he said. It didn't make sense to me.

Why exactly did the cop talk like that? Why did he hate him?

What are your planned crowdfunding projects for May? What did you accomplish during April?

Release: April 29

Widow’s Bay is a quaint island town 40-miles off the New England coast, where struggling Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) hopes to save his community by turning it into a tourist destination. Dismissed by the superstitious locals as soft and cowardly, Loftis finally succeeds in attracting visitors — just as the island’s old demons begin to awaken. Blending genuine horror with character-driven comedy, the series also stars Kate O’Flynn, Stephen Root, Kingston Rumi Southwick, Kevin Carroll, and Dale Dickey.

This year during Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I'm writing about reading as a way of becoming an expert in a given subject. Read Part 1: Introduction to Becoming an Expert, Part 2: Architecture, Part 3: Dance, Part 4: Music, Part 5: Painting, Part 6: Poetry.


Sculpture is a tactile art of shaping three-dimensional figures. Popular media include bone, bronze, clay, marble, and polymer clay. Soft sculpture is a fibercraft using materials like wool or cotton. Sculpture may also be mixed media using typical materials or found objects. All known human cultures make art, leading to great variety in sculpture. Here on Dreamwidth, see [community profile] crafty, [community profile] creativity, [community profile] everykindofcraft, [community profile] get_knitted, [community profile] justcreate, or [community profile] nacramamo. There are more Crafts communities too.

So, I'm out seeing Hokum on opening night which by the way, great movie and go see it. But, I get my ticket and sit down and the movie starts pretty much when I walk in the theater. So I'm the only one in there at that point, then 10 minutes later, this woman walks in and I kid you not, stood for like 20 seconds right in front of me looking for her seat, and keep in mind, there's the entire theater available. Hilariously enough, she lands on taking the seat exactly behind me. Then, her boyfriend walks in and I could just tell they were gonna be hard to focus around because they began talking and making a bunch of noise directly behind me, as well as their phones are not on silent and I can hear all of their notifications. So I decided to move to the back of the theater and finish watching there. But it astounds me that people are so blind that they have no etiquette or morals for going to a movie theater. This goes for everyone going to the theater: shut your mouth, turn your phone off, and enjoy the movie quietly.
