(I came up with this in about 30 seconds in response to a different song joke and figured you know what, this is a good first original post on here.)

TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RACCOON CITY WHERE THE GIRLS ARE THIEVES AND THE TRASH IS NIFTY

A grey rock that has a beautiful fossil trilobite. The rock is rough, but the trilobite sections are smooth. One of the main features is a compound eye, made of of many lenses.

The beautiful preservstion of trilobite compound eyes will never cease to amaze me. On this little 400ish million year old Phacops you can see all the little lenses - each one a rigid calcite mineral crystal! Together they had excellent 360° vision, perfect for finding lunch on the seafloor.

An American Woodcock standing on a pebbled concrete ledge, with some green ivy leaves along the left of frame. This bird is varying shades of buff and brown with a very long light-pink beak, large dark eyes, and a body shaped like a potato. They are turned a little more than 3/4 toward the camera.

Look at this guy 🥔🪶

I dubbed this ship "kingstrike" and it's great to find someone else on this visionary journey

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.
