    Prompt

    A baby dressed in a nightgown lays in the center of the image in a crib. The baby is sleeping On the left side stands death incarnate, a skeleton in a black robe holding a scythe. On the right side of the picture stands a beautiful female angel representing life incarnate. She makes a praying gesture. she has a glowing halo around her head. the room is a beautiful kids room.

      this is confusing

      if angel represents good, it’s opposite isn’t the angel of death or the grim reaper but a demon or satan

      if we have grim reaper to left, and let’s consider for a moment life and death as opposites, what would represent life on the other side?

        I liked it because of the ambivalence.

        Death is not looking at the child, He stares at the angel of life as if he is waiting.

        You could interpret it this way:

        The angel of Life is protecting the child or, in a bigger view, every person from death. If the angel of life abandons us, we enter the domain of death.

        I was not trying to go towards a biblical intepretation and i do not see death as evil. Maybe the choice of an angel for “life” was not the best choice.

      The penguin slides up and hits back with some smooth lines:

      "Hold up, big bear, you’re lookin’ pretty cold, All that muscle, but your moves are old. I may be snack-sized, but I got the speed, While you trudge on slow, yeah, I’m built for speed.

      South Pole rockin’, with my squad in black-tie, We got style and chill, I don’t even gotta try. Sure, you’re big, got the teeth and the claws, But I slide on ice like I’m breakin’ laws.

      You’re the king of frost, but I’m the duke of dive, Graceful underwater, yeah, I thrive. I got the waddle, got the groove, got the scene, While you’re out there solo, tryna act mean.

      Snack-sized? Yeah, but I got the flavor, A penguin’s chill vibe, something to savor. So back up, Ice King, take a bow and freeze, 'Cause this bird’s got heat—you’re out in the breeze!"
