Heartwarming monster-girl music! A lad plagued by bad dreams finds the nightmare-girl responsible for creating his dark dreamscapes and gets to know her ... intimately.

Nightmare Girl

Chillsynth song

(Give it a listen!)

Oh no

Dark fears rising

He was full of anxiety

Life bleak a lock without a key

Every night Douglas tossed and turned

Another unearned bad dream burned

Through the dark dreamscapes he would fight

Till he burst through dream walls one night

Found a girl half horse burning mane

Shadow skin yes she was his bane

You found me, cheers, I'm Melanie

Said she, "You must be gutsy

You would not fall to your knees

Despite your fears ... have tea with me"

Oh nightmare girl with haunted grace

I've found you in this hopeless place

In dreams I fight to feel your touch

Love in the clutch that means so much

Start of a deep relationship

Doug learned to give his terrors the slip

From walk to gallop speeding gait

That dream love became intimate

Felt glee when he kissed Melanie

Nightmare became fantasy

Before long she straddled his knees

Bucking together they'd play horsey

Oh nightmare girl with sexy grace

I've found you in this secret place

In dreams I fight to feel your touch

Love in the clutch that means so much

Doug's life improved eventually

Nightmares calmed no more anxiety

Found life's key but lost his horsey

In deep sleep couldn't see Melanie

One day he walked into a cafe

Saw a strange girl straight away

Flame mane dark skin she said, "Don't flee

You found me, cheers ... have tea with me"

Oh nightmare girl with loving grace

I've found you in this sunlit place

All day I fight to feel your touch

Love in the clutch that means so much

She dances on the edge of night

Her eyes like fire fierce and bright

With every step the fear subsides

In life where we find heart's delight

Oh yeah

Nightmares rising

"Mistletoe Spirit"

MP3 (Music by Suno)

Panel 1

Ohhh Maela

(Oh yeahhh)

Spirit found me one cold day

Leafy Maela smiled to say

She can calm my home, no fees

No more fights, by her decree

Calming brats may seem futile

But she'll make them canoodle

I accept, let magic fly

Make my lass and lad comply

True enough, their mood she flips

My boy and girl are locking lips

Ohhh~ Maela's demand

Yeah, they kiss at her command

With a wave of her green hand

Mistletoe magic takes control

They were broken, now they're whole

(They're in Maela's hold)

Now my loves get along great

But they're much too intimate

Spirit says she has more might

I tell her it's not quite right

Try to stop her, end her hex

She casts that kiss curse on me next

Yeah my boy's lips find my mouth

Kisses me, my girl goes south

Soon enough, he's on my nips

And between my thighs she dips

Ohhh~ Maela's demand

Yeah, they lust at her command

With a wave of her green hand

Mistletoe magic it compels

Uncontrolled desires now swell

(Under Maela's spell)

Oh my loves are licking me

From my lips to my weak knees

I obey, yeah, thighs spread wide

Tween my folds his hot shaft slides

Feel him inside, look in his eyes

Our taboos are rectified

Locked in his young manly grip

Old desires of mine eclipsed

Bucking, driving, with no brakes

Wrapped around his shaft, I quake

Ohhh~ Maela's demand

Oh we lust at her command

With a wave of her green hand

Mistletoe magic takes control

We were broken, now we're whole

(We're in Maela's hold)

Then my girl takes his hot drake

Now awake, savors that juicy stake

Watch my girl and boy fornicate

More than friends now sibling mates

Oh his batter in our stoves

We lay sighing full of love

Magic merging with our souls

Family love our greatest goal

Under Maela you'll agree

Mistletoe magic sets you free

Red One review

Rating: VERY GOOD. It's an enjoyable clash between some of the bright and dark characters of Christmas tradition, which bounces between the mundane world and more magical settings. The variety of creatures mingling in certain locations reminded me of Star Wars, and I'd like to see action figures of a lot of them. It's mildly comedic, but mostly an action fantasy.

Woke level: LOW to NONE. The character arcs counter Neo-Marxist misanthropy and misandry with more nuanced views of humanity and individuals. There's even a pro-fitness sub-theme.

Recommendation: SEE IT if you think you would enjoy folkloric fights and magitech action without too much Taika Waititi humor. I enjoyed it on the small screen, but I think that it's grand enough that it would have benefited from a big screen.

Wow, I was able to log into this account! O.O It may be for the last time though.

When I tried to upload my latest pic on New Year's Eve, NewGrounds blocked me from logging in and informed me that it doesn't allow users to use VPNs※. Although I want you to have a choice as to whether or not you protect yourself from tracking and surveillance, it's my opinion that as many people should be using VPNs as possible — obviously, I use one.

If NewGrounds is trying to suppress this very basic level of protection, then that means that the people behind the site really want to know where we live ... and that means that I really want to stop them from finding out.

So, if it's a matter of allowing NewGrounds to track me or avoiding the site, then I'll probably choose to avoid the site. This is a pity, because the site hosts some excellent artwork and many kind viewers.

However, I was able to log in to write this, so perhaps the problem was temporary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If this is my last message here, then I hope that you enjoyed the pics that I posted, and I appreciate all of you who let me know that you did. So long, and thanks for all the fish! ☺

※ A VPN is an inexpensive service that allows internet users to create a layer of protection between themselves and a) websites that want to trace visitors to their homes and b) internet providers who want to record the sites that their customers visit. VPNs are particularly important in communist countries and other dictatorships where governments block unapproved websites.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves review

Rating: EXCELLENT. A fun adventure with enjoyable characters that is solidly located in Forgotten Realms lore. Indeed, though some license is taken in the details (e.g. the druid wildshapes into a magical beast), there may be too much name-dropping for non-D&D fans ... but I quite enjoyed it.

The producers paid a lot of money to squeeze plenty of action, plot, characterization, and humor into one movie, and it is quite reverential toward the source material.

Woke level: LOW. As in much fiction since the late 20th century, there are female fighters who are stronger than their male counterparts, a male character or two is overly effeminate, every location is more multi-racial than a San Francisco slum, and there is one notable, Marxist race-swap of a canonical character. However, I did not detect ANY heterophobia, and there are no perfect characters of any race or sex.

Recommendation: SEE IT on the big screen, and let me know what you thought of it!

I drew Baraag's mascot, Linnea, as cupid for the site's anniversary, but it may offend NewGrounds policy, so I won't upload it here. However, you can find it on Baraag, Pixiv, and Obo.sh.

I've uploaded a new Jack and the Beanstalk image to other platforms (Pixiv, HF, & Baraag), but it may not adhere to NewGrounds' rules, so, unfortunately, you'll have to find it elsewhere.
