#vss365 #prompt #wings Just 1 more day until you have to fold away your faery wings & return to human life. But fear not, your next host @bowengreenwood is here to take you on a new adventure. Thanks for joining in, & do come visit. No pranks, I promise… 😇 XOX Pixie

#vss365 #prompt #rainbow Rainbow travel is how pixies zip long distances quickly - a wild, helter-skelter ride I sometimes take Gabe on. Don’t tell him – giggle – but I add extra pixie dust to make his hair stand on end & fill his feathers with static. What rainbows will you find today?

#vss365 #prompt #laugh ‘Gabe, you do make me laugh! Why would I empty the washer? It’s full of your clothes… Yes, technically they’re only dirty because of my fish guts prank. But everyone laughed… Ugh, fine! Keep your halo on. I’ll do it.’ Have fun spreading laughter today.

#vss365 #prompt #prank It wasn’t my fault. Honest. It was just meant to be a harmless prank. But when the dragon sniffed the troll fart, it sneezed fire. And well, the rest is history… as is Gabe’s house. He’ll understand. Maybe… Be careful where pranks lead you today.

#vss365 #prompt #brownie Sweet, gooey, crumbly, treats – fresh from the oven. Just one bite? Gabe will never notice. Or another. And another. Until… uh-oh. The last brownie. I should save it for Gabe. Munch. Oops. Well… I’ve left him a crumb. Your turn to bake up some fun.

#vss365 #prompt #angel Today’s your chance to channel your inner Gabe. He may have glowy wings, but he snores like a thundercloud, grumbles constantly, and fights me for the last brownie. So… make of angel what you will.

#vss365 #prompt #charm Gabe scoffs at my pixie charms – calls them fairground tricks. So I charm him neon pink wings & make him talk in rhymes. What’s that Gabe? “You win, you win, I’ve lost the fight! I’ve rhymed all day and half the night!” Have fun charming up a story today.

#vss365 #prompt #scowl Life wouldn’t be the same without Gabe’s favourite expression. His scowl sends faeries scurrying under the nearest toadstool. But I’m on a mission to raise a smile, using glitter shampoo, brownies, a well-aimed custard pie. Where will the prompt take you today?

It’s nearly time. Pixie dust incoming. I’m your #vss365 host from Aug 1-15, dropping mischief, mayhem and daily prompts at 7am GMT. Big thanks to @jamilynewriter.bsky.social for steering the last weeks so fabulously. Secure your snacks. It begins tomorrow… XOX Pixie
