I will never forget that, at a 2024 election rally, djt said something like, “Vote for me this one last time and you’ll never have to vote again.” I think about that statement often, especially when he makes additional statements such as this about an “October Surprise” for the mid-terms.

A tiny posy of October garden flowers in a cobalt blue Victorian ink bottle. There are small spots of dopamine-inducing floral colour out there if you search for it...🌿

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks at Green as Green arrives, wearing an outrageous outfit featuring a big fluffy pink jacket, ridiculous pink sunglasses, and a big golden pendant necklace.
Blue: How was the thrift shop?
Green: Splendid.

Green pushes the sunglasses onto his forehead as he turns to look at himself.
Green: I have no idea if I'll ever wear any of this, but I had to get them.

Blue and Green look at each other.
Blue: You can always donate them back if you won't.
Green: Good point. Back into the beautiful cycle of secondhand impulse purchases.

A dragon came to the royal castle and requested an audience with the king. "I hear," the dragon said, "that you have no princess." "So?" "So I propose you adopt me." "You're a girl?" "I could be." "Sorry. But wouldn't that bring more dragons?" The dragon fluttered her eyelashes. "I hope so."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting around, facing away from each other. Stealthily, Green turns around to look at Blue, who is oblivious to being watched.

Sneakily Green stretches himself out, landing a kiss on the back of Blue's head. Blue is mildly startled. As he turns around to look at Green, Green has already turned back the way he had been, acting oblivious.

"Can I help you?" the magic shop proprietor asked. "What swords do you have?" "Only one, today. This is 'Hyvla', the sharpest sword ever made." "Any conditions on it?" "Before sheathing, the blade must be quenched in porridge or it will dull." "That's inconvenient." "I also have this pot..."

"Are you lost, mortal?" a voice whispered. "I just haven't been here before." "You are in the Forest of Perpetual Gloom." "These are oaks." "Er... Their dense canopy-" "It's autumn. The leaves are falling." "But the days grow shorter, so..." "Perpetual gloom except around lunchtime?" "Yes."

The shame is not yours, if that is what you are thinking. He made his own choices all along the way. He did not have to choose to be what he has become. The shame is his.

A comic of three colourful foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green, and the third one is little blue, big blue's little brother. In this one, the shading is slightly sharper and brighter than in normal reality, as Blue, Green, and Blue's brother are playing a videogame.
Green: Just to warn you too, I have never played a videogame in my life.
Baby Blue: Yeah, I know.

Both Blue and his brother freeze in horror as Green turns around to look at a cute little purple potato on the ground. The potato has eyes, and is looking right back at Green. A health bar has appeared above Green, and another one beneath the little potato. The potato's health bar is significantly larger than Green's.
Green: A "healthbar" means it's aggressive, right?

Blue and his brother watch in horror as Green runs off.
Blue: Stop running into more of them!
Green: I'm trying to run away!

Blue and his brother watch in mild disappointment as something unseen but clearly unsavoury happens to Green outside of the panel's view. A text appears above them, saying "<Green_Fox has died of making bad choices>"

The reason the fanbase reacts to this story is the similarity in top level detail to the Clay Bennett/Supersonics-Thunder situation. The NBA has yet to replace the Sonics. Hopefully this explains why the fanbase is wired about this situation.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is walking around and encounters an unexpected persimmon on the floor. As he goes on, he passes a larger pile of the fruit, and then arrives at a persimmon pile that's twice the size of a fox. On the centre of it is Green, serenely basking in the presence of ripe persimmon with his eyes closed.
Blue: It's persimmon season?
Green: It's persimmon season.

The dragon watched the girl climb up to its mountain lair. She stopped to catch her breath, then shouted: "Oi! I've got some questions." "Ask." "Princesses, why?" "They're educated and smell nice." "No noble blood?" "All humans are humans." "Yes! The revolution is go! Cheers!" "Good luck."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who listens intently.
Green: I haven't been spending enough time with you.

Green sits down opposite of Blue.
Green: How about we take the afternoon to do things together? You choose.

Blue looks visibly excited, and Green leans in towards him.
Blue: Anything?
Green: Anything you like.

Blue rushes off in delight, while Green remains sitting, watching him go with an unreadable expression on his face.
Blue: Let's set up your controller, we're going to play that game you promised to try.

On the market day, the witch stopped by all the stalls. "Have a care," he told the tinsmith. "You're getting fuzzy." "What?" "Do you ponder other paths you could have taken?" "All the time." "Shadows of other yous hang on you, making you indistinct. Don't lose the you you are. You're real."

The princess took an earring off and held it out. The raven looked at it. "Whatever for?" "You are wise and clever. Many princesses have dragons, but none has a raven friend." The raven picked up the earring. "Say no more." "Friends?" she asked when it returned the next day. "Forevermore."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is calmly sitting on his computer when he is startled by noises that sound somewhere between coughing and choking. Alarmed, he rushes to investigate.
Blue: Green? Are you okay?

Blue finds Green on his back on the floor, evidently shaken up but otherwise unharmed.
Green: I somehow swallowed spittle wrong.

Her son carefully lifted his ochre-stained hand from the cave wall and studied the outline. "That's me. My hand." He looked at the other hands. "Do you know all?" "Some are older than me." "That old?" "Hush you," she laughed. "We don't make these to be seen tomorrow, but because today, we live."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

Blue: You can go ahead and go to that party. I'll just be here by my self, alone.

Green looks at Blue with a frustrated frown, as Blue sticks his tongue out while making a disgusted face.
Green: You could also come with me.
Blue: I don't like people.

Green raises an eyebrow.
Green: Don't I count as "people?"
Blue: Of course not. You're the love of my life.

Dr. Dastard pressed the button. Nothing happened. "I cut the wires," Captain Clever said, "you won't rain death and destruction on the world today." "What? My rockets were going to fetch ice asteroids to crash them into the moon." "Why?" "To make an ocean, to let the moon experience tides too."

Blue: What are you making?
Green: A concotion.
Blue: A what?
Green: I wanted to bake something, but I didn't have any of the ingredients so I improvised.
Blue: ...Is it good?
Green: No.

A spaceship landed in the park. A door dilated. An alien emerged with a chair, which they sat down on, backwards. "Look," they said, "we're not here, okay? You know why nobody contacts you? Because the write-up would be such a pain." They sighed. "Get your shit together, okay? We know you can."

Stranger: ...And five whole years later, our cleric was found within somebody's vacuum cleaner!

As the stranger continues chattering, Green leans subtly towards Blue, whispering to him.
Green: Do you have any idea who this is?
Blue: I thought you knew!
Green: I'm face blind! I have to bluff all the time!

When a wizard dies, their spells unravel. But the pattern lingers a while. When Fitzglob died, other wizards swarmed his tower, trying to find his time-stopper room, which you exited as soon as you entered, no matter how long you spent inside. "Here! This room!" "Why?" "It has a reading chair!"

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who is nestled comfortably within a large purple bean bag chair.
Green: How's the bean bag chair?
Blue: Comfy.

Blue watches in silent horror as Green jumps into the air, about to dive into the chair as well.
Green: Make way!

As Green dives in, Blue is launched into the air by the force of Green's landing.

Now cozied up in the bean bag chair, Green watches as Blue flies off in the distance, barely visible as a shred of colour on the sky.

I died. I expected that. What I did not expect was to be greeted by a friendly librarian holding a large book. "Hello," they said. "I'm here to answer your questions." "Uh... What is the One Piece?" They checked the index of the book and opened it. "Do you want to read, or should I summarise?"

The entity drifted dreamlessly through space, as it had for aeons. It woke when it neared a star. Scanned for planets, life, signs of technology. Having found all, it analyzed and decoded radio emissions, then composed a message to send. "My hovercraft is full of feels." It resumed dormancy.

Green: Migrating to the other side of your head to escape the nibbles.

Before the annual bonfire was lit, the witch checked it. Five fieldmice and one hedgehog were gently evacuated. Then there were the toxic things. Someone's hatred. Another's regrets. And pain. It was good they were discarded, but if you breathed the smoke... She drew them out, for safe disposal.

Green: Yep.

Blue looks down as they approach a puddle.
Blue: Be careful, it's hard to tell a puddle from a pothole.

Blue watches silently as Green calmly and confidently continues to walk towards the puddle.
Green: Don't worry, I know how to watch whe-

Blue says nothing as Green instantly sinks ears deep into the water. The puddle was a pothole after all.
