Prompt – “Yokai” Neko no Odoriba: A dancing cat spirit that wears stolen napkins as party dresses. I suspect @pearlsquirrel might have one or two in her lineage, as she is a delightful dancer and is partial to napkin theft. Tonight’s viewing is Doctor Odyssey- an odd contemporary take on love boat. #doodle #mdwc24 #mdwc24d12 #yokai #nekonoodoriba https://www.instagram.com/p/DBC296JMpXZ/?igsh=MXAweXZ2aDNobzRkeg==

Prompt- “Reaper” Tempus Fugit, as it were. We accomplished a lot this morning. I went to the farmers market and got lots of good vegetables and baked goods. Then we went to Jamison’s, but they were too busy marking up the cost of mums to check us out, so we decided to get the butter at good ol’ 7-Eleven. Added treats were a coffee drink for her and a zero-calorie Oreo Coke Slurpee for me. It tastes a little like a cherry Coke mixed with cotton candy soda, with that not-really-chocolate Oreo aftertaste. #doodle #mdwc24 #mdwcd12 #reaper #tempusfugit https://www.instagram.com/p/DBB4My1xMOd/?igsh=MXA5M3JiZmVscTNpbQ==

Prompt – “black lagoon” Some images have a lot more time spent on them than others. I think I like the one with purple (#5) or the one with day-glo green (#8) the most, but the blurry one makes for a more underwater vibe. I don’t know, but I know that I don’t like coloring in the lips, and the mouth is a bit less “kissy” than classic Creech. I am a huge fan of all the Universal Monsters, and even though it is a late one and likely considered the last of them, I will always confess a soft spot in my heart for the amphibious fish-man monster. Aside from smoothing, some of these filters are the most fun to play around with.

Prompt is “Siren” We answered the siren call of breakfast pastries and went to grab those Ghostbusters Halloween donuts from Krispy Kreme. The slime ones (lemon-filled) have the best horrid green color! Step up your game, Dunkin’! My favorite is probably the cookies and cream, but they are all delicious sugar and grease. I gave the sirens some trident / forks for easy sailor snacking.

Day 20,339
Prompt was “Grimm” I look forward to tracking the hashtag to see who else did Ben Grimm, Aunt Petunia’s favorite blue-eyed Thing for a nephew? My version of Ben is maybe a little derpy… I guess the Thing ring failed to do its thing. At least he seems happy for the moment. Tried to capture the Aurora tonight but didn’t have much luck, but I guess that Galen’s photobomb was worth it.

Yet, I see no mention of “up your butt, in a hazelnut”.
“In a new paper that’s bound to raise eyebrows in the scientific community, a team of researchers from Harvard and Montana Technological University speculates that sightings of “Unidentified Anomalous Phemonemona” (UAP) — bureaucracy-speak for UFOs, basically — “may reflect activities of intelligent beings concealed in stealth here on Earth (e.g., underground), and/or its near environs (e.g., the Moon), and/or even ‘walking among us’ (e.g., passing as humans).””

Day 20,338 b
Prompt: “Goblin” Speaking of goblins, we gobbled up the last of the challah bread and potato-leek soup, along with a hearty slab of pumpkin spice cake. Relaxing on the couch watching “The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” as we have finished “Nobody Wants This.” Tomorrow, if i can get myself out of bed before having to go to PT, we are going to make a run for those Ghostbusters doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

Prompt – “bones” I considered a dinosaur, or a skeleton dressed as Dr. McCoy. But, I just went with the good ol’ dance squad. I imagine they sing a nice little quartet, using ribcage xylophone accompaniment. As of this writing, Hurricane Milton is heading to Tampa, fluctuating between Category 4 or 5, and will likely make landfall later today, shortly after Helene just tore up Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Please be careful and help your neighbors where you can.

Day 20,336
Prompt “if i were a shape-shifter” Honestly, it’s hard to choose one shape. I love owls, I love bears, I love all sorts of critters, plants, and other stuff too. I went with an owlbear, just because the idea of a giant owl with a bear’s build is hilarious and not even a little bit scary to me, even though if it existed in reality, it would be frightening as all get-out. Remember, that’s me on the left, pre-transform at 2 meters tall.

Prompt – “witch” We had chili last night, cooked up by the most amazing couldron/ crock pot cooker I know. Chili again tonight, this time on baked potato. (Last night, it was chili taco salad!)

Prompt- “vampire” He’s just taking a little walk and getting annoyed with all the people who tell him, “If only he grew a mustache, he would look like E. A. Poe.” He thought the comparisons would end when Poe passed, but 174 years later… 175 years in a week. Watching the first episode of Battlestar Galactica (’78), and having a reading break on the couch on a fine Friday night. So different in high def, you can see Lorne Green’s toupee line.

Day 20,323
Prompt- “Faun” Feeling more halloweeny today, but back is still being a beast. Hot shower and maybe some more movement will help. This faun gets human knees, because I don’t know how faun legs work.

Day 20,322
Prompt- “Frankenstein “
Raining today, and so many folks are still without power, thanks to Helene. I suspect that Adam here would have a hard time getting a charge because, despite the wet, there hasn’t been very much lightning in these parts. My heart goes out to those displaced, dealing with any ill effects of the storm.
