I chickened out of posting because I am going through a period of hating everything I paint. But, in the spirit of my snowbird life, here is a small (12cm by 8cm) sketch of a beach I am going to swim at later today.



It's usually very peaceful, but right now there are lots of waves because of the cyclone that just passed us.

Here is the prompt of the week (Hopefully it amuses)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/36794107/chapters/93138976

Tehta,
It looks so peaceful.  I like it. I would love to be on that beach.  Especially if I do not have to share it with anyone!!.  Thank you.

Tehta, that is lovely! I’m glad all you got from the storm was some white water!

Dmeck, those are great. And yes, he is the stuff dreams are made of!

Dmeck, now I get what you meant by cliches. (I bet the napalm one just wrote itself.) And maybe I'll have a go at some.

And thank you both for your kind words on my painting.

Yeah I had that tickling the back of my mind for a bit.

You wanted clichés? Here are some!







And some more! (I may have sliiiightly overdone it)

Spoiler: show



































































Making these I was reminded how utterly toxic many of the so called inspirational quotes are. Especially the fitness ones!

But after all, let's not forget to enjoy the simple things in life! Just like happy forest creatures do!

Oh wow Jitter, what a great idea!

After looking through them all, I have decided that Reynir is a great model for sensible quotes. While the Hotakainens are generally terrible. (I do love your take on 'no pain no gain', but Lalli is not a great role model in this instance.)

I am too obsessed with current world events to focus, but here, have just two cliches:

"You want the truth?" Mikkel signed. "You can't handle the truth, Emil. Trust me on this."

“I can! You know I can! I am a grown man who has looked giants in the eye and lived. I am not afraid of anything my father might say or do! I am just… curious… as to why the two of you are corresponding.”

“All right, then. If you insist.” Mikkel took a deep breath. “I met your mother while working in Sweden, as an underage apprentice tree surgeon. Our company did quite a lot of pruning on your parents’ estate, and she was always so welcoming, offering us lemonade, and, well… It would appear that the rest of your family recently found out.”

“Found out what?”

"Look." Mikkel handed Emil the letter. "I am your father."


(Cliches come from 'A Few Good Men' and 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I wanted to work in 'Casablanca's Here's looking at you, kid, too, but I ran out of inspiration.)

... I take it, then, that the Västerström family lost their wealth to bribe the entire Madsen family to keep mum about this ... >:D

Hahaa, I’m glad you liked them :) I spent a lot longer than warranted on this, because when I was looking for good images to include everyone, I kept coming across more and more that I just had to use. And as you know, there is NO dearth of the so called inspirationa quotes, when you go looking.

I wasn’t consciously trying to make all of the workout ones on trolls, but mow I notice I have, with the exception of No pain, no gain. That and the Home is where the heart is were the ones I thought of first, and then it escalated just a little,

Snerk!!

Yeah current events are really scary.

Thank you all for putting some humor in a dreary time.  I have to say I really like everyone's response to this weeks prompt

Tehta, I knew what was coming at the ”I met your mother” 😆

Should I crosspost the inspirational quotes to the memes and edits thread?

YES - I was going to suggest that. These are perfect and I so appreciate you making them.
While I agree that some of these quotes are toxic, I grant you 'rule of funny'.  I lost it at 'Champions train, losers complain', I really did. 
'Be the Change...' was actually really pertinent, not just funny, as was Kaunoinen.
