as prompted by tumblr anon... (apbta): the importance of emotion. without explicit content.

 okay, yeah, without porn, you guys are funny. ;)

Prompt:

Write something in which I can get a feel for the character's mood without you explicitly stating it. Like, say you are, for whatever crazy reason, writing about a tweenager going to a Justine Beaver concert. She is excited, but nowhere in the story do you write: "I'm so excited!" she exclaimed. "OMG JUSTINE BEAVER THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER." Nowhere do you write, "Mommmm thank you sooooo muchhhhhh how did you know i loved justine beaver gweeehehee!?"(I know this is a bad example, because an unsubtle tweenager is VERY OOC)Anyways. Subtle description that conveys mood.You are not allowed to describe sadness because that is easy.

as prompted by tumblr anon... (apbta): the importance of setting. without flashbacks.

so... yeah. this is gonna be hard.
prompt:

Pick a place. From your character's POV, describe it. The trick, though, is to show how important that place is to them using details. Avoid flashbacks.

my response first is what, how do you expect me to not use flashbacks. and then it's oh, you gave me a hint. here goes.
