PROMPT IDEAS
Day 6: sport
Who remembers 60s Riddler boxing Batman, the athleticism of 2004's goth version or how buff Harley Quinn's series got? To be fair, most of them aren't noted for being sporty but #riddlerweek could be a time to consider why some are and some aren't. Childhood trauma anyone?

The Egg Nebula from the Hubble Telescope

Hubble's Egg Nebula shows a dying Sun-like star. Its core is hidden by dense dust, but light beams escape through holes made by high-speed polar jets—a brief, mysterious phase in stellar evolution.

An image of Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. He is wearing a skintight green suit, with a large black question mark on the chest, and holds one hand aloft as an exclamation point. He is grinning ferally and has a light pink domino mask over his eyes.

60 years since the 60s series so let's double the exposure. Frank Gorshin is the Riddler people best remember and he certainly enlivened our screens. Exuberant and confident, he's great for #riddlerweek. Craft crazy conundrums or orchestrate audacious operations. Steal the spotlight with this rogue.

I will always stand with artists against moral panic and purity crusades.
Always.
It doesn’t matter that FOR NOW it doesn’t affect me because I draw pretty vanilla stuff.
I stand with them because it’s wrong to harass and shut them down.

Planet Parade over Sydney Opera House

This week, spot Mercury, Venus, Saturn, & Jupiter in a global planet parade after sunset. They appear in a line because all planets orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane, the ecliptic. Look west.

We all have default mediums to engage in fandom but why not experiment for #riddlerweek? That may mean different styles, 1st person instead of 3rd, or trying traditional art rather than digital. Maybe try your hand at a new skill. Do your first craft, animation or audio recording. We believe in you!

An image of the Riddler from the Young Justice series. The perspective is looking up at him against a clear blue sky. He has one fist raised to grasp victory. His expression is smug and he is wearing triangular green glasses, fingerless gloves and a green jacket with black shoulders emblazoned with a green question mark.

Young Justice Riddler was smarter than everyone believed and several steps ahead in the plan. A genius tactician, even if people didn't see it, this version could be a lot of fun for #riddlerweek. He operated outside Gotham, showed an ability for teamwork and frequently got the better of the heroes.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!

-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.

don’t even talk to me unless this is how you feel about sanitation workers

As someone who spent over 20 years in the IT field, this is the first quote about AI that actually makes sense to me. Going down the wrong fork in the road is always embarrassing in retrospect, but the earlier you turn off the smarter you'll look later.

B93: A Dark Interstellar Ghost

Barnard 93 (B93) is a dark nebula that blocks background starlight. Far from empty, its dense gas and dust, born from dead stars, will eventually condense to form brilliant new stars.
