Epidermal Macabre by Theodore Roethke

Indelicate is he who loathes The aspect of his fleshy clothes, — The flying fabric stitched on bone, The vesture of the skeleton, The garment neither fur nor hair, The cloak of evil and despair, The veil long violated by Caresses of the hand and eye. Yet such is my unseemliness: I hate my epidermal dress, The savage blood’s obscenity, The rags of my anatomy, And willingly would I dispense With false accouterments of sense, To sleep immodestly, a most Incarnadine and carnal ghost.

Someone wrote “humble hope” about this song and I think it's beautifull, although it contradicts what I believe is one of the principle of hope: unmeasuredment. Is a beautiful song too...

I'm glad that My Adventures with Superman is having fun and gave us a magical girl-esk transformation sequence.

But it does make me think of the nearly 30 second transformation sequence we got with Green lantern in Green Lantern: First Flight (2009) That was just was just not magical girl-esk, but full magical girl transformation.

Somebody just made me realise Green Lantern is literally a magical girl.

First his power comes from a ring, a classic magical girl thing to have an accessory that transforms you.

He has a main colour theme as any other magical girl has.

He has a costume that subtly GLOWS

AND HE HAS AN OATH!!! What’s more magical girl than an oath/catchphrase!?

Just remembered about the Vortex's lil guy au and decided to write a lil about it.

***

When the Justice League arrived to stop a newly risen villain's scheme, which involved taking holding an entire city hostage with the use of a machine that could control the weather, which also involved expanded after successfully taking over the city.

When they achieved victory, they did not expect a child to be powering the machine.

Shazam, surprisingly, was the first one to react. "Danny!?" He said as he flew over to the boy, gently picking him from the confines of the machine (after they it had been deactivated) and into his arms. "Danny...?" He said a moment later, unsure of himself as his voice wavered a bit.

He shook the boy a bit, not too hard though, so as not to do any accidental harm. Blearily, the boy blinked opened his eyes, staring up at Shazam's worried face. "Shazam?" He murmured, voice rough and scratchy, as if it wasn't used often.

Either this boy-Danny-didn't speak much beforehand, or he was trapped in that machine so long that his voice became like this from a long period of disuse.

Shazam seemed to have thought so as well, and by his expression, it seemed to be more of the later as he floated down beside the rest of the League.

Danny blinked slowly before looking around the area, eyes glancing over every member present, then his surroundings and then finally back to Shazam and, with a curious tilt of his head he simply asked. "Did I get possessed again?"

A wave of concern washed over the group at the way the boy so casually asked such a question. As if it happened often enough that he grew used to it and, if the 'again' was any indication, it might just be the case.

"No." Shazam shook his head, readjusting his hold on the boy as he started to try and wiggle himself out of his arms. "Are you okay?"

"Yep." Said Danny, not even taking a moment to consider the question. As if he didn't just come out of a machine that feed upon his powers for who knew how long. Shazam's eyes narrowed in a glare that could almost give the Bat's a run for his money.

"Danny." The Champion of Magic chided, and the boy's eyes glazed over for a moment as Shazam simply readjusted his hold again. A moment later the boy blinked, a small purse to his lips and the vaguest amounts of concern slipping onto his face. "Oh," The boy said, no longer trying to wiggle himself from Shazam's hold. "My magic is acting weird, that's not good."

"Well yea since you, you know, had your powers drained and all?" Green Lantern said, the end of his question dipping into a question as the boy turned his head in his direction with too empty eyes that, for some reason, unsettled him.

"Who're you?" He asked with passing interest.

Whatever unsettlement Green Latern felt, it was immediately replaced with the vaguest amount of offence as the boy's words somehow wounded his ego more than such a simple question should have once it registered.

Who then immediately proceeded to ignore him.

The boy then blinked again, turning to Batman and giving the man a small wave. "Hello again, Batman." The Dark Knight simply grunted in his direction and nodded. Then pointed to each and every member present and slowly called out their names.

"Wonder Woman, Superman, Martian Manhunter, " Both of the aliens names were whispered with an underlying awe. "The Flash and Aquaman." His finger than landed on Green Lantern, and the boy furrowed his brows. "So who're you?"

"How do you know spooky but not me?!" Green Lantern ignored the Bat's glare in his direction at the use of the nickname, wounded pride and genuine bafflement allowing him to do such a thing.

"We met before." Danny state simply, as if that was the answer to all questions. "You?" He asked again.

This could not get worse. Green Lantern thought.

It could get worse. Green Lantern realized a few moments later after trying-and failing-to get the boy to recognize him as the members present were snickering at his plight.

Even Wonder Woman was trying to hold down a smile.

His eyes accidentally wandered in Batman's direction to see his reaction and he let out a quiet sigh of relief to see the man unmoved with only the slightest amount of disappointment that he didn't crack. Though it was wildly overshadowed by his ego being salvaged-

Batman's lips quirked up into a smirk before falling so fast that he had trouble believing if it was even there in the first place.

Green Lantern's jaw dropped as he stared at the Bat incredulously, who simply stared back. Unmoved, like a stone. As if he didn't just smile at him.

🍬🌽Pumpkin Drake (candycorn morph)🌽🍬

Happy Halloween, goblinfam! Hope all of you are having a wonderful time 🎃🍂

Some lore:

With their long bodies, stubby legs, and more or less vestigial wings, Pumpkin Drakes are here to claim people's jack o' lanterns as their own!

Domestication and breeding has led to wonderful and curious-looking morphs in this species which are not observed in their wild counterparts. The candycorn morph is a fairly new colouration, but has proven to be extremely popular amongst younger magic users.

Pumpkin Drakes are a rambunctious species. Even in places where there are an abundance of pumpkins, they can often be seen in scuffles with others of their kind for what they consider to be the best pumpkin to nest in for the next few days. Pet Pumpkin Drakes can be housed in pumpkin-shaped receptacles, but it is recommended to give them access to a real pumpkin at least once a month.

When a pumpkin has been obtained, these small dragons will proceed to hollow it out, eating the flesh and seeds in the process (they are omnivores). With jack o' lanterns, the work of emptying out the pumpkin has already been done for them, so it's no wonder more and more wild Pumpkin Drakes have been seen in neighbourhoods during the Halloween season!

Wild Pumpkin Drakes are rarely phased by interaction (when treated with respect), so be sure to be on the look out for one (or more) on your porch, or wherever you have jack o' lanterns! 🎃🐉
