[[Witching hour stream! Come and join!]]
((I’ll be drawing the conclusion to that event tomorrow. Have a happy Halloween, folks!))
the full images of my artwork for the halloween art collab
In June I made these, so these are pretty old! The collab was that we each made a room for a haunted house. For it I use my fruit squad oc’s for this because I thought it would be really cool to use them. I loved the idea of Orange and Strawberry alone together. Strawberry would totally hold Orange’s hand during most of it. Of course Apple went straight to the spooky library to check out the books. Cherry went with Apple so she wouldn’t be alone and she didn’t want to third wheel Orange and Strawberry’s date.
[[Okay, so it would seem things are slowly but surely returning to normal. @staff, could I ask what happened there?]]
[[You know what, just in case this IS Tumblr’s last colossal goof-up before the side collapses, you can find me on Discord. PM me for my number.
I may even revive http://leastvaluedplayer.deviantart.com if it comes to that…]]
[[Okay, so apparently some blogs are getting errors for some reason. Does anyone have more details on this or…?]]
[[Did @linking-the-generation-gap get an error?! @staff, do you know what’s going on?]]

[[Well, here it is! Hopefully, Tumblr doesn’t compress the Haunted House Collab too much… Anyway, this is meant to be more of a loose idea of what happens here than a more detailed look.
Thank you all for contributing, and I’ll add my two entries to it later.
[[I’m sorry, but with work and school and all that, I won’t be able to finish the Haunted House on time unless I cut out two entries.
The good news is, those two entries are mine, so maybe I’ll just slap them in after Halloween.]]
A Simple Solution
“…You want us to what?”
“Just pull ourselves separate.“
The Repairman pinched between his eyes.
“Look, we tried moving separately with Kit…”
“Exactly! We just need to be a bit more forceful!”
“…No…”
“Do you have a better idea?”
“…Well, how about using a knife to painstakingly get your paint and my ink separate, or maybe evaporate ourselves, or…?”
He sighed.
“Getting pulled apart it is.”

“Now, then, you’re clear on what we’re doing?”
The blended duo looked at the large tree that stood before them, and the absurdly huge wind-up elephant that the Repairman set up.
“Right…” Marie mused, “So one of us holds onto the tree, and the other one holds on to the elephant, until we’re finally split?”
“More or less. Now…” the Repairman began. It was still a challenge to admit his sister would be better in some respects, but he was trying. “…Y-you’re the stronger of us, so keep your grip firmly on that tree, okay?”
Marie nodded, and the blob got into position, with one arm wrapped several times around one of the massive roots, and the other winding the elephant up.
“Uh, Repairman?”
“Yeah?”
“Where…did you get a life-sized elephant toy?”
“Oh, that’s a funny story. It all started when–”
Too late. The elephant was moving, and the Repairman threw all of his energy into hanging on to its leg. Both blot and spatter felt themselves stretching. One half of the blob was becoming blacker. The other half was becoming bluer. Slowly but surely, it looked like the plan was working.
Then the Repairman’s grip began to slip. The two were seconds away from snapping back together.
“NO!” he grunted, pulling a huge horseshoe magnet from his hammerspace. This was not going to be his fault!
The stronger pull towards the metal toy, however, had other ideas. Marie’s grip never loosened, but the tree began to. As the Repairman focused on stretching them apart, Marie looked up in dread as the tree began to topple.
“TIMBER!” she screamed.
“Wha…?” the Repairman began, as the tree was about to land on them.
WHAM!
