This week’s #writephoto prompt is..
‘Er…’
‘What do you think, dude?’
‘Yellow?’
‘It’s called Midas Sunshine.’
‘It looks like you’ve got sepsis.’
‘You’re just jealous. Not every icon can carry off a change like this.’
‘Icon? You’re a legless horse.’
‘Oh that’s lovely, very ableist.’
‘Ableist? You’re an evolved acropod, designed to float.’
‘You made that up?’
‘Alright, but why change colour?’
‘And I don’t float, I surge.’
‘Sure you do. You’re like an aquatic dog, wagging your tail all the time.’
‘I…’
‘Why dye yourself yellow?’
‘It’s Mi…’
‘Yada yada. Stop avoiding the question.’
‘I wanted to make a statement.’
‘Really? Why? Everyone says your cute.’
‘Everyone says all sea horses are cute. That is the problem right there. We’re nature’s perfect men. We make both sexes swoon, we do the child rearing, we…’
‘You carry the eggs. In a pouch. You’d not expect any praise if you carried your girl’s lippy in your manbag, would you?
‘There’s a bit more to it than that.’
‘Really?’
‘It’s a real responsibility.’
‘So’s carrying your girl’s lippy.’
‘She doesn’t have lips so how…?’
‘You’re quibbling. Why yellow?’
‘Are you against yellow?’
‘No, it’s…’
‘It’s not masculine enough, for you, is it?’
‘It’s not that.’
‘I might be gay.’
‘Then you’d be a rainbow.’
‘Oh that’s just stereotyping, isn’t it? I like yellow. It suits my complexion.’
‘Your complexion? You don’t have a complexion.’
‘There you go again. Pigeonholing and stereotyping. You know what you are?’
‘No. What?’
‘You’re jaundiced against seahorses.’
‘I was going to say you’re the one who’s…’
‘Don’t. Just don’t…’

OMG, wokeness in the aquatic world! I did see a seahorse give birth once – literally hundreds of tiny little ones scattering here and there in the aquarium. Amazing!

Hi Geoff, I am glad to see that British seahorses are ‘woke’. A most entertaining piece.

Yep. Seahorses around here are socially aware, naturally inclusive and inclined to worship Petulance the goddess of annoying virtue signallers…
