PROMPT CHALLENGE: FAIRYTALES

[froodle]

They were the earliest stories many of us ever heard, and sometimes you didn't realise 'til later how incredibly horrific a lot of them were. It's the 21st of the month, so it's time to think about the type of fairytales the people of Eerie tell their children? This month's theme is:

Catching Water in a Sieve

Winter Solstice

It's the longest night of the year; how does Eerie make it through the hours of darkness?

31 Days of Krampus

Inspired by eviinsanemonkey's amazing Christmas poem, "Pick Your Battles", I thought it would be fun to share some Krampus-themed goodies. Here he is in a fiery colourway from ToyNK:

Feedback Friday!

It's Friday, Eerie fans, and it's a great time to look back on all the sweet fanworks you've created over the years. Why not revisit some sweet artwork, admire someone's crafting efforts or leave an appreciative comment on an uploaded video?

SCAM OR WORTH IT: Is Tupperwaring grandma into a "protective" casket really going to keep worms and decay away?https://t.co/lle6YqAjdb pic.twitter.com/zC7l2zUN28

Well in the first episode of Eerie, Indiana people slept in Tupperware to stay young, so I think it's legit. pic.twitter.com/15Nay1cqdc

Eerie, Indiana drabble and a half: Gift Wrap

[froodle]

The Christmas tree lights reflected off looped garlands of tinsel, sending tiny spots of colour skittering across the uncleared breakfast table, the bookcase groaning with arcane artefacts, and the thin layer of glitter spread across the fraying carpet.

"Pixie invasion, leprechaun war or message from the Ladies?" asked Marshall, setting down a double armful of brown paper grocery bags and unbuttoning his heavy winter coat.

Simon looked up. Twists of mangled sellotape littered the floor around him.

"None of the above," he said. He picked up a slim roll of wrapping paper, red and green and decorated with smiling cartoon reindeer, and shook it. A wave of silver drifted down, settling across his lap and gilding his feet in their mismatched socks.

"Wow," said Marshall. "That is Sky Monsters-level quality control."

Simon nodded.

"On the upside," he said, "Tod's going to be psyched for his Secret Santa gift this year."
