(1)🚨ALL EYES ON INDONESIA🚨
It's 0.41. A.M. Local time. First they cut off the power in Kwitang & Senen. Then the snipers came. And now they're using live bullets.
Just 3 days ago the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission silenced the journalists to not broadcast the protests.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written campaign.
#PosterPitQ #A #H #M #Posterpit

This is a horror movie-style poster for "DAD BODIES" with the tagline "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN." The design features a large D20 die (showing numbers 19, 1, 7 and 13) at the center top, surrounded by blood splatter effects against a dark background with a gothic manor silhouette.Six men are arranged around the bottom portion, each showing expressions of terror or shock with hands raised defensively. They're labeled with names: Vincent, Sam, Troy, Hank, Marv, and Dave. The poster includes several review quotes in decorative frames: "I had to stop eating" and "OMG" and "EW! Haha!!" all attributed to beta readers.The poster credits "Written and Directed by B. van Bodegom" at the top and includes a "BIG 5 INTEREST" badge. At the bottom is a movie rating-style disclaimer with "RESTRICTED" rating and warnings about strong language, violence, and adult content.

I’m obsessed 🤣 Especially with the weird cat at the end? Love it.

The Pole Position I’m referring to is an F1 novel by Rebecca J. Caffery!

Moodboard for KISS THE WALL: checkered flags on a bright blue sky, oil spilt rainbows, a packed NASCAR stadium, duct tape, road trips, sunsets, mlm, etc.
