🚨New Digimon Discovered!

Behold: SHADOWCHACKMON

Artwork by the saintlike & mega-talented reddit user Pidolidl — whose gifts I’ll never deserve.

ShadowChackmon

LEVEL: Hybrid; Adult

TYPE: Beast Man

ATTRIBUTE: Variable; Virus

FIELD: Deep Savers; Nightmare Soldiers

DESCRIPTION: A shadowed projection of the Human Spirit of Ice. This blizzard bear possesses all the same military skills and survivalist savvy as the original Chackmon, with the added threat of being an expert in espionage; this is most likely thanks to its ability to transform into patches of black ice, as it will sometimes hide silently in the shadows for days at a stretch, in order to surveil or surprise a foe. From its launcher (affectionately nicknamed “Tybalt ”) it fires shark-faced missiles containing black blizzards and black-ice storms.

Techniques:

Ice-Sickle Hahaha — Transforms itself into huge and treacherous displays of black ice, including boulders, stalagmites, and even larger-scale installations (like gallows and guillotines) if given enough time to construct them.

Blackout Bomber — Blindly fires bombs of black snow and ice out of its launcher, Tybalt.


Be on high alert around this sneaky mutant! You’ll learn more about him and his shady origins next month, in episode 4 of DIGIMON R.I.S.C. . . . Until then, keep it “prodigious.” ✊🏼

Love always,

Mister L.

My Mom Has Gifted Me:

My Mom Has Gifted Me:

My mom has gifted me:
this lovely life to live,
a heart that sees,
a brain that breathes
the blood she was
so kind to give.

Without Her saving blood,
I couldn’t speak,
I couldn’t love.
Before Her braving flesh,
my soul was little
more than nothingness:

a star no life could see,
but still she felt my plea,
“in your image, labor me,
delivered in your purity.”

Then from darkness I was torn,
to Her sacrificial kindness born.
Now I walk with Her upright,
share Her love and speak Her light.
* * *
So, thank your mother every day,
for freeing you from silence.
She gave you everything
you need to love,
and to forget that
does her violence.


I hope you don’t consider my capitalization blasphemous; it’s part of the scriptural imagery I employed in this poem to demonstrate the fact that childbirth–not just once, but for the creation of ALL human beings–has always been and will always be a miracle, not a punishment.

Love always,

your Mister
