## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Animate the word [TEXT] as gooey candy metaballs. Start with two dozen glossy, opaque blobs in bubblegum pink, tangerine, lemon, mint, sky blue and lilac bouncing around a pale pastel backdrop; whenever two get close they stretch into sticky gooey bridges, fuse, and pinch apart again. Then the blobs are pulled into the letter shapes and melt together into [TEXT] in a chunky rounded font, the colors swirling where they blend. Hold for a few seconds while a few small droplets orbit the word, dock onto it with syrupy bridges and tear away. Finally the word pinches into blobs that scatter, and loop. Shading: puffy, glossy, hard white highlight from the top left, soft drop shadow.
```

## Visual DNA

- Blobs fuse with smooth, sticky bridges and pinch apart like syrup
- Opaque candy palette: bubblegum pink, tangerine, lemon, mint, sky and lilac
- Colors blend where blobs merge, like swirled candy
- Puffy glossy shading with a hard white specular and soft drop shadow
- Pastel backdrop; satellite droplets keep docking onto the letters
