4/7~ calm before the storm edition

once upon a time there was a young snowflake named roger. born in the magical kingdom nimbus, roger loved to mess around with his fellow snowflake friends dancing and doing general things that beings made entirely of frozen water would do. idk man. anyway, roger had a dream of one day falling from the sky, glittering in his epic descent. maybe he could become a snowcreature or join an a capella group? every day he would awaken and check with his overlords to see when he would finally be part of a blizzard or even a tiny snow drizzle. and every day they would say, “maybe tomorrow roger”. until one day there was a glitch in the system! it was april 8. in mayhem, all of the snowflakes had no idea what would occur or who would precipitate! they all panicked, expanding the walls of the kingdom nimbus until every snowflake fell out, ruining a perfectly nice spring weather pattern. thanks a lot roger. snow doesn’t belong in april.
