[Jetko Week] Prompts List and Dates!
First of all, let us not forget that Rozin Week (in celebration of our dear Roku and Sozin) is going on RIGHT NOW! You can find out all about it here! It's being organized by foxysquid and there's some great stuff up for it already! :D
I have a lot of love for a lot of Avatar ships, but Jetko holds a special place in my heart. Few things on the internet make me as happy as when other folks post fanwork for it, and if the poll the other day is any indication, I am not alone in this affection! So, as promised: JETKO WEEK COMETH.

Below are prompts for every day of the week of August 17th-23rd! I'm posting them now so people have time to get started, as I know y'all are busy and have a lot of SHIP WEEK MADNESS to juggle!
On each day, post a piece of fanwork (art, fic, whatever!) inspired by the prompts for that day, either here, on DeviantArt, or to the Us Outcasts club on YGallery. That's it!
Ideally work should be posted on the correct day, but if you can't quite manage the timing that's okay, too -- as close as you can manage is fine!
There are two kinds of prompts for each day: word prompts and song prompts! You can use either, whatever most inspires you! Just make a note of what prompt you used on the fanwork itself!
Please feel free to pimp this around! THE MORE THE MERRIER, YES? YES. <3

Word: Insomnia
Song: Can't Stop - Maroon 5
All alone in my room, think of you at a rate that is truly alarming
I keep looping my memories of you in my head, I pretend that you want me
And I fall asleep and dream of alternate realities
And I put myself at ease by pretending that she still loves me
And I can't stop thinking about you
And I can't stop thinking about you
You never call, what do I do?
And I can't stop thinking about your love
Can't believe I could think that she would just follow me everywhere I go
I just wrestle with you in my dreams and wake up making love to a pillow
And I fall asleep and dream of alternate realities
And I put myself at ease by pretending that she still loves me
What I would give to have you look in my direction
And I'd give my life to somehow attract your attention
And I touch myself like it's somebody else
Thoughts of you are tattooed on my mind, let me show you

Word: Whiskey
Song: The Old Apartment - Barenaked Ladies
Broke into the old apartment
This is where we used to live
Broken glass, broke and hungry
broken hearts and broken bones
This is where we used to live
Why did you paint the walls?
Why did you clean the floor?
Why did you plaster over the hole I punched in the door?
This is where we used to live
Why did you keep the mousetrap?
Why did you keep the dishrack?
These things used to be mine
I guess they're still, I want them back
Broke into the old apartment
Forty-two stairs from the street
Crooked landing, crooked landlord
Narrow laneway filled with crooks.
This is where we used to live.
Why did they pave the lawn?
why did they change the locks?
Why did I have to break in, I only came here to talk
This is where we used to live
How is the neighbor downstairs?
How is her temper this year?
I turned up your TV and stomped on the floor just for fun
I know we don't live here anymore
We bought an old house on the Danforth
She loves me and her body keeps me warm
I am happy there
But this is where we used to live
Broke into the old apartment
Tore the phone out of the wall
Only memories, fading memories
Blending into dull tableaux
I want them back

Word: Scars
Song: Warning Sign - Coldplay
A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in,
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.
A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized,
That you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.
And I'm tired,
I should not have let you go.
So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.

[ Wednesday, August 20th ]
Word: Games
Song: Fragile - Jason Castro
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will see
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

Word: Momentum
Song: Falling Slowly - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

[ Friday, August 22nd ]
Word: Sneak
Song: Your Heart Is An Empty Room - Death Cab For Cutie
Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue
Home's face: how it ages when you're away
Spring blooms and you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago
And all you see is where else you could be When you're at home
And out on the street Are so many possibilities to not be alone
The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
But you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
Cause you knew you were finally free
Cause all you see is where else you could be, When you're at home
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone
And all you see is where else you could be,
When you're at home,
There on the street,
Are so many possibilities to not be alone

[ Saturday, August 23rd ]
Word: Tickle
Song: Twilight - Electric Light Orchestra
The visions dancing in my mind
The early dawn, the shades of time
Twilight crawling through my windowpane
Am I awake or do I dream?
The strangest pictures I have seen
Night is day and twilight's gone away
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
It's either real or it's a dream
There's nothing that is in between.
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile
Twilight, I gave you time to steal my mind
Away from me.
Across the night I saw your face
You disappeared without a trace
You brought me here, but can you take me back?
Inside the image of your light
That now is day and once was night
You lead me here and then you go away.
You brought me here, but can you take me back again?
With your head held high and your scarlet lies
You came down to me from the open skies
Twilight, I only meant to stay awhile

Have fun! Don't stress, and don't worry about doing anything complicated -- drabbles and doodles are as just fine, too! <3
