#but it still counts I guess

[eri-pl]

OK, so maaaybe I am slightly capable of writing those dual poem things. It does not rhyme or have a rhythm but at least it does a thing? I guess?

Let's see if I can post it in a more accessible format… Is this readable? Edit: I made it small so that the lines fit better on a phone.

Manwë | Melkor Born to be brothers | I was better without thee So merry was our meeting | I remember it still Why hast thou wasted this? | Why could it not stay as it was? Too fierce and fiery | The Flame should have been mine Thou warpedst the world | I'm wailing over what could have been And yet again hope rose high | How canst thou not see it? Long have I loved thee  | I longed to see thee Even fearsome and fallen | Frightened, hopeless and broken Yet now it is over | Away is torn the light And I may mourn | But my pain remains I will miss thine melodies | In the silence (Though I may be mistaken) | I'm forever alone

I have to admit, I have no idea what is the rule for how it should read combined. I went with "makes a reasonably coherent poem + has vibes".

Feedback welcome, includding grammar (and English ig) corrections, I'm not a native speaker and "thou" is hard. Improvement suggestions also welcome.

“Takeminakata describes himself to be an acting World Representative while defending Takamagahara from Amaterasu's invasion.”

So he was essentially a World Rep for about two-three days at best then.

It's essential to teach them color theory when they're young so they understand how to mix colors. How else will you get art that's good enough for the fridge?

So I've been thinking about Dick's canonical skydiving hobby and also about his many flying friends, and now I can't get this image out of my head:

Whenever Dick is in a workaholic funk or particularly stressed, one of the Titans with the ability to fly yoinks him and flies him to the sky and then just lets him go. It's for enrichment. It's like air jail so he'll take a break he can't opt out of, but actually fun for him. (They catch him at the end because they're usually too spontaneous to grab him a parachute)

love how Solar Opposites started out as a sitcom about two aliens who can't stand each other, stuck with their teenage clones (whom they also can't stand) & a toddler antichrist (whom they view as a sort of self-sufficient free-roaming hamster?) on a stupid planet they can't stand

and 4 seasons later it's a sitcom about a family of genderqueer aliens, headed by a gay couple in a happy & horny open marriage (with a graphic off-screen sex life, despite their canonical lack of genitalia?) teaching themselves to be okay parents to their 3 kids (whose Sci-Fi Antics now slightly-less-frequently revolve around wreaking havoc on human bystanders, and slightly-more-frequently revolve around alien-clone-sibling-bonding*), to the point that the central plot point becomes "We need to provide our toddler antichrist with a stable home environment."

(also the grumpy alien husband is too busy ingratiating his family with their suburban neighbors to even remember whom or what he dislikes. what is this show)

Kira has a nightmare, one night when she's staying at the O'Brien's. Miles and Keiko, sleeping in the other room, don't hear her get up - but Molly does.

And Molly, being clever and kind, knows exactly what to do when someone has a nightmare. (Or, at least, she knows what her parents always do for her.) So she sits Kira down and brings her a glass of warm milk, and sits by her side as she drinks it.

Then, she takes Kira by the hand and leads her - to her parents bedroom. "I always sleep with mommy and daddy after a nightmare," she explains, when Kira stops outside the door. "It helps! Mommy chases the scary things away. And Daddy is warm."

"Molly," Kira says quietly, a little embarrassed, "I don't think your parents want me in their bed. Even if I did have a nightmare."

"No, they won't mind!" Molly assures.

Then, of course, Miles wakes up.

"Molly?" he asks, voice rough with sleep. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"No, but Miss Kira did!"

And now Keiko's awake, too, sitting up and saying, "Nerys? Are you alright?"

Mortified, Kira says, "Yes, I'm fine, I was just - on my way back to bed. Molly brought me here. I'm - sorry for waking you. I'll just be-"

"You can stay, if you want," Miles offers.

Kira doesn't quite think she heard him right. "What?"

"You can sleep here, if you think it might help," Keiko says.

"Or even if you don't!" Miles adds.

Kira opens her mouth, then closes it again. "I, uh-"

Keiko gets up, and takes Kira, gently, by the hand. Her palm is soft, Kira can't help but notice.

"Brr, it's freezing out here!" Keiko says, tugging Kira along. "You'd better get in before you catch your death of cold. Miles is practically a furnace, so you'll be nice and warm with us."

"And, Molly, you'd best go back to bed, too. You've got school in the morning," Miles says, as Keiko bundles Kira into the bed between them.

As Molly makes her way out, Keiko swings a lazy arm over Kira's back. "Sleep," she hums. "We'll be here in the morning."

Kira, feeling warm and cared for and more than a little overwhelmed, does.

FazEnt Marketing Team: "Kids like memes right?"

Day 5 of DCA Promptober - artistic license redraw of the "You wouldn't download a car" meme

Since I had to shrink and trim the original art really small to make the gif fit tumblr's maximum upload size, here are the images in non-crunchy form.

The way the two images are laid out above is actually the way they were going to be posted before my 11th hour "Hey! Let's try animating it!" moment. Also, I had zero experience doing any sort of digital animation before this simple one. I'm not sure what the protocol is for using meme templates so I approximated the original text for use in this piece just to be on the safe side. I also redrew the daycare logo itself and changed aspects of it for some reason. Also also, I used the noise brush for the first time to made tv static instead of just finding and using a royalty free image of some sort because it is essential I make things more difficult than they need to be.
