ZenYuki Week 2024 will be June 9th through June 15th! This year, we went with more of a flower theme, to which you may create things inspired off of the flower meanings or inspired in any way off the flowers for each day!
We also decided to do something new this year and add audience participation prompts! Anyone can participate with the audience participation prompts, even if you created something already for that day or are not creating something for any reason. It is just an added fun way you can participate! The bonus audience prompt is either for the day after the event or for answering any day of the event you would like to.
The prompts are down below, and the audience prompts are at the bottom of the post.
Day 1: Rose
Day 2: Lily
Day 3: Chrysanthemum
Day 4: Yura Shigure
Day 5: Phostyrias
Day 6: Wisteria
Day 7: Bouquet
.
Appreciation Prompts:
Day 1: Pick a flower and its meaning that you feel most represents ZenYuki.
Day 2: What is your most favorite ZenYuki moment?
Day 3: Show us a picture of flower(s) or garden that you'd think ZenYuki would have, or show a picture of one from an anime or manga.
Day 4: What makes them work as a couple?
Day 5: What are their strengths as a couple? What are their weaknesses as a couple?
Day 6: Is there anything you would add or change about their relationship?
Day 7: If Sorata-sensei had given you the power to choose one scene or moment ZenYuki could have in a future chapter, what would it be?
Bonus: Free Day! Share anything you'd like about ZenYuki!

Zenyuki Week 2024 Appreciation Post @zenyuki-festival
Day 1: Pick a flower and its meaning that you feel most represents ZenYuki.
Okay, so this is an impossible task - I simply can't pink only ONE flower that represents Zenyuki for me. So I'll make a bouquet! mind you all of these together is a mess but I love it nonetheless
Firstly, I would pick typical red carnations; literally meaning "My Heart Aches For You", admiration, deep romantic love, and passion. When I think of ZenYuki I automatically think of deep devotion and admiration from both sides so carnations are perfect for them. *also zenyuki owns every cheesy romantic line ever so*
Next, bluebells! Their meanings are loyalty, constancy, and humility. These are all traits I associate with ZenYuki both as a couple and as individuals. There's steadiness in Shirayuki and Zen, especially when they are together.
Another flower that just screams ZenYuki to me is the azalea. I like this one for them visually a lot - I think it matches their vibe a lot, there's this softness about ZenYuki and azaleas uknow. Azaleas mean "Take Care of Yourself for Me" and if that isn't the cutest thing ever idk what is. It plays nicely into their long-distance relationship.
Similar to bluebells, bellflowers are so ZenYuki coded. I like to imagine ZenYuki being all noble and castle-vibey but simple wild flowers suit them so much too! Bellflowers mean unwavering love and a constant heart - I will simply die it's so them AAAA DO YOU SEE MY VISION!!?? It naturally goes hand in hand with meaning of gratitude which I associate with Shirayuki's gratitude towards everyone she met in Clarines and Zen's gratitude towards his closest friends/found family (also his gratitude to being a prince as well??!! hes so grateful he can be of service to Clarines)
This is my ZenYuki bouquet that is all over the place! Loved picking these and ofc there are way more flowers I associate with ZenYuki but I couldn't fit them all here ://
also honorable mentions:
Daffodils (regard, "You're the Only One", "The Sun is Always Shining When I'm with You")
Dandelions (overcoming hardship; faithfulness)
Blue Violets (watchfulness, "I'll always be true")
Wisteria (im cheesy) (new beginnings, transformation, passage of time)
