The Uncivil War
When Britain slides into civil war, and it is 'when' rather than 'if',
The early years will pass, a shadow play, an unnoticed rift.
On city streets where darkness cloaks, unseen, the war will tread,
Each morning brings commuters' gaze on ruins that spread.
A phoney war will linger long, its players veiled in night,
Normalcy a brittle shell in the soft, deceiving light.
Elections held as rituals, their alien nature grows,
Till Britain’s face in parliament no longer British shows.
And then the penny drops, a slow and creeping dread,
Amongst the liberal middle class, awakening unsaid.
The working class, forsaking ties, their parties old betray,
United by their common cause, a new and stern array.
Ethno-nationalism, once forlorn, now rises from the grave,
As parliament, a foreign court, becomes the new enclave.
Islamists will outnumber those who once held nation dear,
While left-wing hands in crimson gloves, the jihad’s call they cheer.
Community defence will rise, where politics once stood,
White British officers will turn, in this, their brotherhood.
The violence then will escalate, its flames consume the night,
Whites against the myriad shades, in an unyielding fight.
Normal life will fracture, the cities now a cage,
Like 28 Days Later scenes, with fear upon each page.
Offices on lockdown, the streets a battleground,
Public transport, cars abandoned, no safety to be found.
The army sent to seal the streets, but soldiers' hearts may sway,
Under strongman’s banner, or a coup to seize the day.
Civilians pressed to militias, their lives in chaos spun,
The exodus of immigrants, and more with arms will come.
Ferries cease their crossings, but small boats ply the waves,
White flight to rural bastions, tent cities rise in graves.
Yet civil war we name it not, though chaos reigns supreme,
No shelling, no airstrikes, just madness in a dream.
The grid will fail, the power fades, dark nights will conquer all,
Food crises loom as shelves are bare, and raiders breach each wall.
I cannot see the end of this, if slaughter marks our path,
As Europe too may tumble down, consumed in civil wrath.
War with Russia, or the brink, the threads of fate entwine,
Britain's plight, a tragic tale, in this dark, dreadful time.
For now, we march towards the storm, with eyes that see yet blind,
And know that in our lifetime, despair is what we’ll find.

I'm personally still stuck in this half-milisecond of Aziraphale thinking lovingly of Crowley in front of jimmified Gabriel, at this point not even sure what's happened to him and if he really remembers nothing, and yet his face slips, all by itself, into this enamored expression as he thinks of his one person that makes everything better when he's with them

my second pass at a sonadow fankid. this time, it's a little more serious than the looney tune that is dawn lol.
this is 3. he was created by tails in an effort to develop the "ultimate defense system."
basically, tails was thinking back on how, during the forces war, eggman was able to conquer the world when sonic and shadow weren't around. and, well, he got a little worked up remembering that! he got mad! yeah--real mad!
so, tails did what all great minds do when they get mad, and he conducted some... let's say... unethical science experiments.

now here's the thing. if mychael had mind reading powers, would he still help the mc? and if yes, what would he do when they woke up and weren't afraid?
For context! See, if we follow the original events of the game, I don't think MR!Mychael would save the MC after they fall victim to the mushrooms. He might feel bad, but he's been burnt too many times to take that risk. He'd gladly let you keep sleeping.
For you to meet MR!Mychael would have to be under completely different circumstances.

I went to a screening for the wild robot and it’s such a sweet film :’) so visually stunning too, I couldn’t take my eyes off the foliage and plant life! Also had the whole theatre tearing up at at least one point lol. Super funny and heartfelt movie, with a baller soundtrack and stellar animation.
I've seen a lot of people turned off on it from the trailers, but it's honestly a beautiful film and I genuinely think people should give it a chance if they're on the fence about it!
