Relive a day in the childhood of your character that fundamentally shaped or changed the way they thought and lived that you've yet to write about. It could be something as innocuous as the first time they ate a particular food and hated/loved it, to the day they fell down a shaft into an abandoned mine and found a pretty statue. Creativity and intrigue is the goal here.

(06:13:32) Ebivoulya: I'd like to see more vignette prompts that impose unusual constraints, like write without using names, or about your character only from the perspective of other characters.
(06:14:19) Ebivoulya: Or describe your character's emotions without using the words (anger, guilt, grief, etc.)
(06:14:45) Ebivoulya: Maybe all three, make it interesting.
(06:15:34) Ebivoulya: Something to shake people out of their usual styles.
This.

It's 1996, the glorious Age of Sitcoms, and your character has the lead role in their own 'family-friendly' show. Write a quintessential scene from one episode that best shows off how they've adapted the cast and what type of TV show it is (bonus points for including the show's name/episode title).
Write your character having a job interview.
The job itself does not matter; can be as practical or fantastical as you wish.
Your character is on a game show. Which game show is up to you.
Your characters alignment has flipped completely. Hood characters are now evil, lawful characters are chaotic etc
There is a darkness in you. In all of us, probably. Beasts we keep chained. Ordinary men have to keep the chains strong, for if we let the beast loose then society will turn upon us with fiery vengeance. Kings though...well, who is there to turn upon them? So the chains are made of straw. It is the curse of kings, Helikaon, that they can become monsters. And they invariably do.

Hood characters
Your character has to adjust to life in the inner city. Write a short post about how they adapt to their changing surroundings
Write your character at your dream level 21. How powerful are they now? How do they use their power?

Songs of Felicity.
Fewicity Smash!
Use three-ish songs as inspiration. Shouldn't be restrictive at all, doesn't have to follow the obvious narrative or super secret meaning of the songs. It can if you want though. Just be inspired by them. The only restriction should be that you use some lyrics from the songs as dialogue. Modifying them slightly should be okay, but they shouldn't be butchered beyond recognition.
Since the new year has begun, I would like to suggest an appropriate vignette prompt:
Your character encounters an old assumption in a new light, and must work through this contradiction to either redefine their assumption, or reaffirm it.
Examples would include a racist character who learns to work with people he used to hate, or a character who doesn't trust nobles, is swayed by a noble into helping, then gets betrayed and learns that lesson over again.
