"This week’s prompt is Cancer—and before your brain scuttles off in the wrong direction, let’s be clear: we’re talking stars, claws, and cosmic crustaceans. This is your cue to dive into the zodiac seas, where moody moon vibes meet pincers sharp enough to slice through even the densest art block. Think constellation charts, lunar tides, and that one crab at the beach who walks sideways like it’s a runway strut.
CANCER is all about duality: tough on the outside, soft watercolor feelings on the inside. A little guarded, a little nostalgic, and probably hoarding all your Micron pens under a rock somewhere. Whether you interpret it as the astrological sign, a celestial symbol, or a literal shell-dweller with trust issues, this is your invitation to get ink-deep in creativity.
So grab your pen. Your paper. And maybe a touch of moonlight. Whether your crab is magical, moody, monstrous, or magnificent—it’s time to let your lines wander sideways and your imagination click into high gear. Don’t be shy. Be crabby.
Happy inking!"
