Finally figured out my #FirstDraftFall project so I redid my Oct spread.
Collage with header "Happy Halloween", and cartoon pumpkins, bare trees, ghost, bats and buildings with lit windows.

The pictures in the collage, from top right to left, then down:
1. Akemi Homura from Madoka Magica episode 12 with the corrupted wings. Godoka is hugging her shoulders from behind.
2. #FirstDraftFall banner.
3. #TimeTravelAuthor prompts for October 2025.

It's worth reiterating that independent creators are getting debanked for the same content

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him
A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.

Some time during the Tang dynasty, 'penjing' (盆景), the Chinese tradition of creating miniature landscapes in a tray, arrived in Japan. Here the emphasis moved from creating entire scenes to focusing on individual trees, replicating full-grown specimens on a minute scale.

🌳📏BONSAI BONANZA✂️🤏

Kyōto hosts 2 major exhibitions of bonsai each year at the Miyako Messe: the 'Nihon Bonsai Taikanten' (日本盆栽大観展) in autumn, and the 'Gafūten Shōhin' (小品盆栽 雅風展) in January, which focuses on bonsai so small they can be held in the palm of your hand.

idk how to make this clear without getting screenshotted out of context but I really think you should be able to make fiction that unilaterally portrays [MOST DEPRAVED SUBJECT YOU COULD THINK OF] in a positive light and, if you want to, sell it for money

#TimeTravelAuthors Oct 15: Snippet with give.

From the glare of the sun, a barrage of energy arrows rained down to dispel the mist and give Homura a pretty good view of Dave's awestruck expression.

I’ve lost friends over masking or not masking and tbh it’s very baffling how mad people get about masking.
Masking in hospitals or clinics: why do you WANT other people’s germs?
Masking on mass transit: again, why do you want people’s germs?
