Over on the bad place, I started a pinned thread inspired by hitting my 65K issue milestone in my comics collection. Now at 85K, I've decided to rescue that thread and bring it over here.

Here are some highlights of my collection:

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Seriously, ladies. I will NOT slide into your DMs. Do not send “me” money or lewds. I’ve reported, but multiple reports can’t hurt.

Illustration of Critical Role’s Caduceus Clay and Mollymauk Tealeaf with art nouveau influences.

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.

An illustration of my original character, Bhargavi. She is standing in the middle of a pond with a brown wall and two pillars behind, with some greenery around. She has brown skin and long red hair with glowing orange/golden ends. She is wearing a golden armour around her neck and golden vambraces on each arm. She is wearing a sleeveless red top that reveals her smotach and long red pants. She is looking down and has one foot out of the water, while holding on to some of the longer shinier layers of her pants that have appeared to be drenched as they’ve soaked up too much water. There is a strong golden light shining down on her from above.

A fanart illustration of Clair Obscur. There is a giant frame with Verso looking at and reaching out to Alicia from his side, while Alicia, is looking at him and reaching to Verso, standing outside of the frame. With sunlight shining down only on Alicia and a bit on Verso. The top half of Alicia, where the sunlight is shining down on her, depicts her with white hair, while in the shadows, her hair is drawn closer to red. Red and white petals surround the scene.

A portrait illustration of my original character, Megaera, showcases her distinctive features. She has brown skin, striking amber eyes, and white hair with black highlights. Her ears are slightly pointed, and she bears a scar on her right nose, jaw, and neck. The illustration presents two versions: one with her hair flowing down past her shoulders and the other with her hair neatly tied up in a high ponytail. The background is just a plain white with a small chibi of her winking in the bottom right corner.

An illustration of my original character, Aleron. He is an elf with long dark blue hair with glowing cyan ends tied up in a high ponytail. He has fair skin, green (left) and blue (right) eyes and is wearing a blue long-sleeved robe with silver armour and vambraces. He is looking down at the viewer with a solemn expression and is holding a large silver shield in this left hand. Golden sunlight is shining down on this face and behind him are large metal spikes indicating he's in a battlefield.

Painterly bust portrait of a kindly earth genasi woman. She has a soft, sweet smile. Her skin is warm grey with a pearlescent sheen where the light hits. Her hair is dark brown, curly and arranged in a messy low bun. She wears a purple cloak with a thin gold border over a simple cloth tunic in an orange shade. Her jewellery is gold: sunburst earrings and a pendant of the Church of Lathander. The background is a pastel sunrise sky.

Blackbeard tarot card painting from OFMD. A kraken tentacle emerges from the sea and has begun circling him. A rapier pierces his heart, where he holds a swatch of red cloth. The sword points to a distant lighthouse on the horizon

A stylised portrait of David Tennant as The Doctor and Catherine Tate as Donna. They are clinched close, both looking alarmed towards something offscreen to the right of the image. The background is a starry sky.

Illustration of a drow standing in front of a large white snake with wings. The drow has long white hair and dark green clothing with copper accents. He holds a dagger above his head with blue magic arcing between the blade and his hand. They are in the Underdark, with blue spores and mushrooms surrounding them.

Illustration of the fellowship from the Fourth Age actual play. They are at a high altitude looking down into a valley with a river. From left: Theodas (bald elf, many scars, dark beard, golden interlocking armor, dull blue cape); Iairen (elf, medium brown skin, kinky brown hair with undercut and half up style, blue robes, holding a blue palantir); Mistiel (elf with dark brown skin, copper cape, long white box braids half up, golden armour); Eona (human, dark brown long hair with golden scales woven through, leathers and cape, holding a sword); Chicory (hobbit-elfish, lilac dress, pale skin, brown hair in loose waves, holding a wooden staff that crooks over and holds a glowing white stone); Aerlind (elf, dark hair, blue fine outfit, tanned skin, east asian features, holds an astrolabe in one hand).

Illustration from first person view, showing a hand holding up an opalescent stone with a hole in the center. The stone has brass filigree, and through the hole is a view of a mountain sheep. The background is a mountainous landscape. There are slight magical effects showing that the view through the stone is a zoomed in view of the background.

An alabaster gargoyle and a feminine figure dressed in black robes with their faces shadowed by hoods. The pair are within a gothic styled church, standing before an altar on a dais, preaching to spectators behind the POV. Candles cast plenty of light in the room despite the flames being purple, and all the decorations and the architecture is gothic in design. They look as though they are in the middle of performing a sermon in unison
