October Showers bring November Flowers October 13, 2017 8:55 PM Subscribe
What we plant, we sow. The flowers we have during the summer* can be of our choosing. How about we take from whenever this is posted until November 1 to create as many simply happy, joyous, silly, or positive posts as possible to The Blue?
Animal videos that are happy! "News Of The Weird" as long as the weird is wonderful! World Events News posts that bring a smile! We can use it right now! More explanation points!
I mean, really, I'm looking at the front page right now, and it's not a happy place overall. Let's pull the nose up on this negativity train.
*Yes, it's spring in the Southern hemisphere.
Cue torrent of negativity from the Southern hemisphere...

We can do it again in October! I don't think the world will run out of positivity and happiness in a way we can't do it again! Half a month, twice a year! Yay! *flailing Kermit arms*

Ehh, not everyone's into Three Stooges-style slapstick humor.

Yes, please!
To the posts, though, not necessarily the picking of noses that might go along with them
a+ three stooges routine btw, 10/10 would enjoy again

We're just gonna clash forever aren't we, hippybear? FPPs at twenty paces!
But point taken. I think everyone is Mementoing the fuck out of Mori right now, so happy posts it is for the duration.

Honestly, I wasn't planning on clashing. I'd set a calendar reminder for myself and I basically edited my post from April and posted it here for southern hemisphere folks. Also a reminder that the globe works differently than we assume. Also, grumble bah grar. Can we hug it out?

This is really a cynical attempt to psychologically stimulate the more cynical MeFites to produce more cynical posts isn't it?

In fact I'm going to blow an FPP for everyone by reporting this story about the police sending out the Hogwarts Express to rescue stranded hikers. Stick that in your cheery pipe.

My fursona is a wolf. Are you okay with wolf hugs?

What am I saying? You're all "dog dog dog this that and the other" all the time. You'll be fine with wolf hugs.

I hadn't read this thread last night when I posted two melancholy short stories, but I've tried to make up for it with a Buzzfeed humor piece.

OK, I guess so, but in November all the cute animal pic posts have to be about tapeworms.

Waitaminute. You don't really pull up the nose on a train.

You could if it was Thomas the Tank Engine. But on the other hand, Thomas would likely never be negative in the first place.
