Wow, I love these!
I can see poor petulant Sointu, and the whole set-up, so well-imagined.  I love me some worldbuilding.
*watch me click the link ssoooo fast to sssee the pretty snakesss*

Oh, the spiderdog, nuuuu
(I wonder why we haven't seen much about sunlight and trolls in Adv. 2. This was one of the more inspiring snippets of worldbuilding surrounding the Rashed we got.)
I liked the 2nd drabble too, and it's totally in character.  Lanky Reynir could pull off a swishy dress, and would be game enough to stand in to be helpful.  Can Onni?  Hrm, hrm. 


*shuffles feet* I did a YoinkTober thing, too.  But... it definitely falls into the "thanks I hate it" category.  I was contemplating a redraw of a SSSS/Miraculous Ladybug mashup I did a couple of years ago (Emil transforms into Chat Noir), but I've had a hard working week.  I sat down and my mind travelled to a not-particularly-magical transformation we saw earlier this year. 
So, yeah.  Apologies, folks.

Once she turned 15, Lavender wilfully trashed her rating

b-b-bwahahaHAHAHA what a Mikkel!



My Day 2 choice is much less controversial.  For Change of Seasons, many of us mark the passing of seasons in the garden, using our tools to prepare plants, pots and beds.  (ink drawing of a trowel in front of crumpled dirty garden gloves)


(I may start making bundle posts with more than one day's offering.  We'll see.)

2.10.2021 Change of Season

A double drabble this time. As you see, I used the prompt as a... starting point, more than anything. Emilalli warning. Appropriate for general audiences, but horrible fluff. Ugh, I need a black coffee.

Here, have a cracker. I was going to post some autumn photos, but then this happened.

Change of Season

It was a disaster. None of the players had deemed it suitable for their dignity to appear in time. No, that was not right, there was someone standing at the edge of the stage, looking lost. “Um, am I in the right place? I think I was told to come here and…” his voice trailed away.
“And who the frack are you?”
“I, um, my name is Rowan and the agency lady told me to… I’m sorry. Can I help you with anything?”
”Stay put. Don’t touch anything. Or lick anything.  Anything!”
”Ah, um, ok, I’ll just wait here then?”

She stormed of, yelling at the top of her lungs “Lucky? Lucky!! Where are you?”
The writer appeared  “Yes?”
”Run the cast by me again. There’s a redhead at my stage!”
“Readhead? That must be the new leading lady then!”
“Well, didn’t look like a lady to me… Michael? Michael!”

Her personal assistant came running.
“Where is everyone? Where have you been?”
“I was merely making sure Lawrence gets dressed”
“It’s not a dress rehearsal! We are just getting started!“
“No, I mean they weren’t dressed at all. He and that stylist of his. But he’s coming now.”
She looked at her assistant quizzically, but he was perfectly deadpan. “I hope you mean he is arriving. Very soon.”

Returning to the stage she saw Owen had turned up. The noob Rowan was trying to greet him in a friendly way, but unsurprisingly Owen was merely glaring at him. What is it with these people? Why does a lovely singing voice always come in such a difficult package?

Finally everyone was on stage. A little later Emile the stylist had been removed from stage, and they could at long last start the first rehearsal of the season. Change of season was always nerve wracking. The singers were not prepared, the shoestring budget was enough to cover half of their needs, and the divas always hated the play at first.

But somehow she always got it to work in the end, with her most best director and producer skills. It would be great this year too. The new leading lady was a total noob, but she already saw Rowan and Owen had chemistry. But when Owen and Lawrence sang, it was like a dream. Almost like the stage had been transported to another world. It would be another successful season for the company.

Thanks Wave! The director is no one else than the most best Ms Victoria!

Response post time!

Jiiri: yes, a very clever interpretation! I guessed what was going on when I saw 'Rowan' and 'help' in the same sentence. Apart from the part about the singing that transports you to another world, I also liked the fact that Emile had to be removed from the stage. But that was very rude of Michael, to interrupt the styling session like that! I hear naked styling is all the rage in some circles.

Opaque: I have not played the game, but the poem is very evocative. At least, it evokes how I feel at the end of every winter. (And wait, it would work for both Changes in Seasons and, in a way, Mask, wouldn't it?)

Also, I agree that Emil could rock a shaved head! I am at an age where more and more of my male peers are shaving their heads, and it can be a very good look. I will have to see if any artists are willing to draw this.

Oh, and I just realized I forgot to reply to the comment on trolls and sunlight. You're right, Adventure Two barely (bearly?) talks about it, and we see plenty of activity during the day. I think there is a mention of overcast days being more dangerous?

Very evocative indeed, Opaque!
Ah, we all miss snarky Miss Tuuri, do we not?

I turned back to the Prologue for this next one - Masks.  It's an illustration of one of the first fanworks I ever wrote (under the spoiler). It features the woman who appeared on the Danish talk show, urging people to wear masks to help stop the spread of the new Rash illness.

Yay there´s so many awesome contributions already!!!

Since there´s such a lot I´ll only comment on the most recent ones, but I read and looked at them all, and I love them!

Opaque, I do know (and love) Majora´s Mask, and your poem captures the story beautifully! The ... giants? (I´m sorry, I only know what they were called in German ) seem to be those really calm creatures, and the same energy is in your writing! (Hehe, does that mean, LoZ-content is something that more people here are interested in? Now that is something you should have not told me )

tehta, this story really put a smile to my face as someone who also enjoys writing snarky banter between Tuuri and Emil! (I do miss her still, but don´t we all?)

Wave, what a sweet drawing! But man did that short story-part give me a feeling of dread... :')

As for bulk-posts, I´m afraid I have no real choice but to do them, due to my usual problem of "there´s less daylight than I would need for photographing my drawings". After all, I like using all 24 hours I´ve been given to do my daily work... :'D
So here come the first two (Wheather today is too bad to take good photos, so I´m afraid todays contribution must wait until tomorrow.):

I´m also kicking it of with a not Minna-work-related contribution, instead belonging to Disney´s "Amphibia":
1: magical (girl) transformation (under a spoiler due to heavy spoilers for Amphibia´s season 2 finale "True Colors")



2: change of season

Young Kitty has just finished making herself a comfy fall-style-bed, when she´s being surprised by winter. (Why young Kitty? Well, I found a really cute panel of her I wanted to use as a reference.)
