    "Yo, I’m the king of the Arctic, top of the frost,

    While you’re waddling lost on some South Pole rocks.

    I’m the beast of the north, with teeth like knives,

    While you slip ‘n’ slide, barely keepin’ alive.

    I’m six feet tall, got the muscle and the brawn,

    You’re a pint-sized bird, can’t even fly, come on.

    They call me the apex, the top of the line,

    You’re snack-sized, flappin’—couldn’t handle my grind.

    I’m the white ghost, huntin’ seals at night,

    While you shiver in groups, tryna huddle tight.

    I roam solo, 'cause I run the ice,

    You’re just fish food waddlin’—not worth the price."

      The penguin slides up and hits back with some smooth lines:

      "Hold up, big bear, you’re lookin’ pretty cold, All that muscle, but your moves are old. I may be snack-sized, but I got the speed, While you trudge on slow, yeah, I’m built for speed.

      South Pole rockin’, with my squad in black-tie, We got style and chill, I don’t even gotta try. Sure, you’re big, got the teeth and the claws, But I slide on ice like I’m breakin’ laws.

      You’re the king of frost, but I’m the duke of dive, Graceful underwater, yeah, I thrive. I got the waddle, got the groove, got the scene, While you’re out there solo, tryna act mean.

      Snack-sized? Yeah, but I got the flavor, A penguin’s chill vibe, something to savor. So back up, Ice King, take a bow and freeze, 'Cause this bird’s got heat—you’re out in the breeze!"

    Prompt: 2000s TV talk show, versus, an orc and an elf sitting across from each other, in a tv talk show studio, the orc is wearing crude metal armor, the elf is wearing flowing white robes, the headline “Opposing views” is writting in bold font at the bottom of the screen, the subtitle “Hobbits, tasty or not?” is written in the bottom left, HD-TV screen shot --ar 91:51 --v 6.1

    I actually managed to get the proper subtitle, but I liked this one better. Like Gollum managed to sneak in a quick edit before airing :)

      this is confusing

      if angel represents good, it’s opposite isn’t the angel of death or the grim reaper but a demon or satan

      if we have grim reaper to left, and let’s consider for a moment life and death as opposites, what would represent life on the other side?

        I liked it because of the ambivalence.

        Death is not looking at the child, He stares at the angel of life as if he is waiting.

        You could interpret it this way:

        The angel of Life is protecting the child or, in a bigger view, every person from death. If the angel of life abandons us, we enter the domain of death.

        I was not trying to go towards a biblical intepretation and i do not see death as evil. Maybe the choice of an angel for “life” was not the best choice.

        Edit after a night of Sleep: It is interesting how hard wired religious themes are in ones subconcious. I wonder how i would have depicted life and death with another cultural background.

    Nightmare VS Day dreaming

    Prompt : A portrait split down the middle: the left side of the face is asleep and scared, with nightmarish shadows, terrifying imagery and eerie creatures in the background. The right side of the face is awake and calm, with colorful symbols of peace and creativity like floating flowers, soft clouds, and bright abstract shapes forming a dreamlike, idealistic scene. The two sides blend subtly in the center, showing harmony between fear and peace.
