    You couldn’t say the G word in the ‘70’s…

    A vibrant illustration featuring Changeling, a green humanoid figure with wings and yellow eyes, leading a lively crowd in singing a playful parody of “YMCA.” Changeling is mid-gesture, radiating energy and excitement, while the diverse crowd behind them joyfully joins in. Above them, the lyrics “It’s fun to stay at the Y, M, C, A. Because you now know this song is not” are displayed in bold, colorful text. The phrase is humorously followed by a censoring symbol and a visualized “bleep!” effect. The scene is set against a festive background with colorful lights, confetti, and a celebratory atmosphere.

    🧞🐲 I always wanted !to make a Saturday morning cartoon!

    “Changeling relaxes in a cozy rocking chair, eating a bowl of cereal shaped like miniature Changelings, while watching a vibrant Saturday morning cartoon featuring another Changeling on the TV. A speech bubble declares, ‘Media representation is a proud sponsor of this nutritious breakfast! MMMM!’ The scene exudes a playful, meta vibe, blending nostalgia, self-awareness, and layers of representation.”

    See, I could only post something like this here because our dear Stephen King doesn’t fediverse. He must never know.🤫
