Birds Free From Cages

A call went out for marginalia and I had a lot of fun with @draconym ’s beaft maker as inspiration

An old playermodel I found in a sven-coop model pack.

A MAN CANNOT BE "EEPY."

HE CAN BE FATIGUED.

HE CAN BE SLUMBEROUS.

HE CAN BE BATTLEWORN FROM THE DAY'S ORDEALS.

BUT NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER, MUST YOU EVER UTTER THAT WORD.

AND THE BED AND PILLOW WHICH YOU REST YOUR BODY ON?

MUST NEVER BE SO LARGE AS TO MAKE YOUR OWN FORM SEEM DIMINUTIVE IN COMPARISON. IT MUST BE ONLY LARGE ENOUGH TO FIT YOUR OWN BODY, LIKE A COFFIN.

AND YOU ARE ALLOWED BUT 1 PLUSH UPON IT.

What would you do if you showed up for a date with me, and instead of a guy like I said in my dating profile, I was a small injured deer?

And you asked me why I didn't say I was a small injured deer in my profile, and I said I was worried you would hate me for being so small and injured?

And then I got a salad and slowly nibbled on it, flapping my ears while you told me about warhammer 40 thousand. And then when it came time to split the bill, I told you I had no money because I'm a creature of a forest, but that I would pay you for my portion in song?

And so I sat up on my hind legs, and sang the most beautiful sonata you've ever heard in your life. I sang of the valleys and the rivers. In the first part of the song, you could hear my voice waver from the pain of my injury. But then it crescendoed with fire and determination, as if in the middle of that very song I decided that I must keep living no matter what happens, and that you must keep living too?

Then, when you came back to your senses from being entranced by the beauty of the song, there were tears streaming down your face? I was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only a single autumn leaf on the table? You looked down at your hands, and in your hands was a small note with your childhood dream you had long forgotten on it, written by your own hand?

What would you do?

I was out this this cute girl and I think we were really hitting it off, then she asked what kind of comics I make. I told her, and then as she looked at them on her phone, recognition came over her face.

Her: "oh...OH MY GOD... ARE YOU THE BIKE CUCK GUY???"

Me: "Y-yeah..."

Her: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Her: "WAIT, HOLD ON, I GOTTA SHOW MY FRIENDS THIS."

She asked the people at the table behind us if she could borrow one of their phones for a second to pull up something on the browser. Then she held their phone somewhat in front of hers and took a photo of me along with it.

I never asked for the photo so here is my approximate recreation of what I think it looked like:

She was busy texting seemingly all of her friends as we finished our meals and stood up, when I decided to pipe up again.

Me: "Um, y-you know wh-what would make the happiness in the world increase..."

She looked up from her phone with a sly smile.

Her: "What?"

Me: "I-if...if we k-- um, kissed..."

Her amused smile slowly descended into an absolutely indiscernible neutral expression.

then, after a pause

it rose again into a smile

Her: "You... are so cute. Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

I closed my eyes tight, and gently puckered my lips, bracing for a kiss.

I need inspiration for writing and I need silly little date ideas for characters so give me ideas so I can write please Mr. Fish

ok I got you.

both people go to the dollar store with a budget of $25. they build nests for each other out of the products they buy and present them to one another like birds

2. both people do a script reading of Pixar's Cars, reenacting the scene where Mater tells Lightning McQueen that he's his best friend, one person plays Mater the other person plays Lightning. if the night is young and you have time just do the whole movie

3. while walking in the street pick up a pigeon. just grab one off the sidewalk it's possible to do and very easy because the pigeon isn't usually prepared for that. adopt that pigeon together, decide on a name, raise the pigeon
