3 Heart-Pumping Romantasy Writing Prompts for WritersErik Patterson
A professional kitchen with a close up a chef's tattooed hands sprinkling something on top of a plate of fresh greens, crispy skin salmon, and an orange sauce. There are knives in the foreground, and the chef is wearing a black apron and white chef's coat.
Secret IngredientMoriah Richard
A close up of a tan teddy bear with his head cocked, brown eyes looking off into the distance off-screen.
Guardian of the SmallMoriah Richard
A vending machine lit up to display sodas, waters, and various candy bars. Everything around the machine is totally black, giving it a mystical glow.
Mystical Vending MachineMoriah Richard
The foreground is filled with hands being raised, and in the background above the hands on a stage is an out-of-focus person with both fists held up in the air.
The Opposite of Stage FrightMoriah Richard
An illustration of a parrot's head, facing left in profile, against a plain, light background. The parrot has vibrant red feathers on its head, with some white and light grey plumage around its eye and lower face. It has a large, curved, dark grey beak with a lighter, almost bone-colored upper mandible. Its eye is orange with a dark pupil. The feathers appear textured with individual brushstrokes.
The IllustratorMoriah Richard
An old, severely rusted and weathered Jeep-like vehicle sits abandoned in a dense forest. The vehicle is a mix of faded red and peeling white paint, with visible rust covering much of its body. It has a single yellow light on its roof and round headlights on the front. Tall, slender green trees with sparse foliage fill the background, suggesting a misty or damp environment, and the ground is covered in lush green ferns and undergrowth.
The Abandoned TruckMoriah Richard
A silhouette of a deer stands in a field of tall grass, backlit by a vibrant golden sunset. The sun's intense light creates a strong orange glow across the entire scene, especially illuminating the grasses in the foreground and background. Bare tree branches are visible as dark silhouettes on the sides of the frame.
A Defining MomentMoriah Richard
A large cluster of colorful foil balloons shaped like various cartoon characters and animals. Notable balloons include a light blue whale or dolphin, a yellow duck, a pink owl, a blue balloon with Peppa Pig, and several other light blue balloons with faces, some featuring transparent sections with smaller balloons inside. The balloons are tied together with numerous thin strings and are shown outdoors on what appears to be a wooden deck or boardwalk, with blurry figures in the background.
