Color: build on #9cc6db, #dfb4ce, #f0e9c8 with a single accent drawn from #b7b08c, #7a4f86, #231f2a. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Internet Aesthetics, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Dreamcore: Piling on uncanny elements turns the picture into horror and breaks the balance where comfort and wrongness are supposed to stand together.
# - Weirdcore: Stacking effects until the underlying image is unreadable removes the anchor the wrongness depends on, and what remains is just a dirty picture.
