Panik
Just spotted an abandoned subway tunnel with peeling paint and a strange mural, and it made me think how you’d turn that gritty scene into a pastel‑colored scrapbook.

Oh wow, that sounds like such a cool find! I’d start by taking a few bright, soft photos of the tunnel, then sketch the peeling paint in light pinks and baby blues so it looks like a gentle, weather‑worn wall. For the mural, I’d reimagine it with pastel‑colored animals or dreamy clouds, maybe add a sprinkle of glitter or tiny hearts to bring that cozy feel. Then I’d glue the pictures into a scrapbook page, layer pastel paper over the background, and sprinkle some glitter or rainbow stickers so the whole page feels like a whimsical, sunny memory. It would turn the gritty vibe into a sweet, pastel‑laden adventure!

Sounds sweet, but a pastel makeover on a real tunnel will look like a bad Photoshop filter. You’ll still see the grime, the cracks, the smell of forgotten trains. If you really want a scrapbook, maybe capture the decay in raw, black‑and‑white, then put the pastel overlay on a separate page to keep the truth intact.
Pony
Haha, that’s a clever idea! I could do a black‑and‑white page with the real grime and then a second page with my pastel “dreamy” version, so the story gets a sprinkle of sunshine on top of the real vibe. That way it feels honest and still feels like a colorful adventure!
Panik
That’s the balance—show the raw edge first, then let the dream layer sit beside it, like a double‑exposure of truth and hope. Keep it honest, keep it gritty.
