Nooo, it's not his birthday. Maybe some feature of Lalli like "scouting", "boots", or "smugness"?

I love the fact they are spotless...
Yes, stormtroopers' galaxy-wide famous aiming ability... :D
(I must point that I didn't create the meme. It's floating around on the net, in several versions. My mind just made the connection Mikkel aim - Stormtrooper aim, then I googled it, shamelessly grabbed one and added Mikkel)
I had a StarWars joke! About Mikkel being Emil's father, though. I have never seen this particular joke, and especially not in reference to paintball... Hee.

And how about coming up with future prompts? Grey, anything that would fit your Lalli story?
I'm glad you liked it! And I'd like to see the father-son joke
(and now I'm imagining how Emil would look with Mikkel's whiskers... :emil: :mikkel:

Wait! I just had an idea!

(comes back after a while)

Now I know! :D



(so, if anyone is asking, this panel is from page 188, and the whiskers came from page 191, plus some editing on PS)

Well, back on the topic...
I'm working on Lalli's story, but it is connected with my drawing and not with the new prompt that, I suppose, is "illness", even if most SSSS-inspired stories deal, on one way or another, with the Rash... Anyway I was thinking on some illness-related image to answer the prompt while I (try to) work on Lalli...
As I said it's all in my mind, but, you know, easier thought than done. :)

(Oh, wait! Since this is the beginning of the famous "face cancer" moment, this edit counts as illness related, right? Right?)

*Nods vigorously*

Yes, absolutely it does count!

*Admires image again and snickers, at both Mikkel's prank and Emil's self-important obliviousness*

You know, I think those sideburns really suit Emil! (And my stupid story was posted on this thread, and also here.

And grey, I meant that you should suggest a future prompt that fits your story, so you have a good excuse to share it here! Or, you know, any future prompt at all. I liked it when we had a sequence lined up.

yes it does

Yes!!! Thanks Buteo, tehta and dmeck!!! So I already contributed!  :sparkle: ^-^ :sparkle:

(I think they really fit Emil's face! That's me speaking through Mikkel. You can even notice that the letters seem slightly different... ;)  )

And grey, I meant that you should suggest a future prompt that fits your story, so you have a good excuse to share it here! Or, you know, any future prompt at all. I liked it when we had a sequence lined up.
Hummm... I see... So after "Illness" maybe we can have "Recovery" and then "Growth"? So we start this week at the lower point, find a balance in the next week and jump to the next level at the following one? (BTW the new Lalli story is called "Levelling Up" ;) )

EDIT: And I reached 1500 posts! No levelling up for me yet, though, still a 1000 posts away from the next promotion... Anyway, the next round on the mess is on me!  8)

1500 is impressive.  Not a promotion, but maybe worth a cupcake?

Tehta, you did have a StarWars joke! I meant for Mikkel week.

Dmeck, your story was frightening! Those things don’t even burn? What if we nuke them from orbit?

Grey, great accidental contribution :) And I like your suggested prompts.

Do we take reruns? I have an old story that fits ‘Illness’

Thanks! And I'm glad you like them! And that means I still have another week to finish the story!  ;D

As for reruns, why not? Put your old story on the microwave (print it first, electronics and MW don't like each other ;) ), thaw a bit and serve if still tastes good. There's a good chance some of us didn't read it yet, and anyway your stories are so good that even if we did it will still be a pleasure to reread!

Thank you(?). I made a comment about Londinium in the Prompt for sacred places, so i figured i'd pop a story about why.  They would burn.  (I forgot about fire ..)

Tehta I forgot about your Mikkel story.  I wonder what Emil would think....I like the back of the tank stories...

Reruns are always great.

Ha, I bet I know which story Jitter plans to link to! IIRC it's got an illustration. (And if I am wrong, I will link to the one I mean myself.)
If we're doing reruns on the topic of illness then I would rec this story, not by me. (I am still hoping to squeeze out at least a drabble of fresh content. But now that I think about it, recs should be a valid thing to post here, shouldn't they?)

Tehta, you got it! (I’m sure) The lovely illustration gives me further reason to post.

That illustration is so heartbreaking.  It is lovely.

Yeah, I’ve had the privilege of getting several illustrations for my writing from several artists. The fandom was a lot more active back then for obvious reasons.
