I just love Dead Ringers ok. No I'm not normal about it at all
Monochromatic red painted portrait of Beverly and Elliot Mantle, main characters of the horror movie Dead Ringers (1988). Beverly sits in front, an unusual finger like sharp instrument cutting his neck. Elliot sits behind him, their heads resting on their shoulders. A scarf is loosely draped around both their necks. Beverly is wearing a simple pale shirt and medium darkness pants, while Elliot's suit is almost completely black and in shadow. The portraits and instruments are mirrored and inverted, stacked on top of each other. the text "Dead Ringers" is in front. Two finger like instruments from the movie Dead Ringers (1988) arranged mirrored and inverted from each other with the title Dead Ringers in front of them Beverly and Elliot Mantle, twins played by Jeremy Irons in the movie Dead Ringers (1988), smoking cigarettes. They are unusually close, and Beverly is lighting his cigarette from Elliot's already lit cigarette. Beverly is wearing red scrubs, contrasted with Elliot's business suit. Beverly is gripping the lapel of Elliot's suit jacket while Elliot holds a lit match between their faces, matchbox in his other hand.

I don't know if I'm using this descriptive alt text correctly, but I'll try: In this picture, I am on the left and my son on the right. We are greeting people after ceremony. We are wearing our ceremonial robes, depicting some of our crest prerogatives. I am wearing an eagle on my robe, my son a beaver. I am wearing a cedar bark-woven hat, my son is wearing a Raven's Tail headband. I am holding a drum. We are both ceremonial singers. We belong to the Kay'ahl Laanas / Ts'aahl clan from Haida Gwaii. We have the right to wear Eagle, Beaver and several other crests. I am standing (left) with two of my clan sisters at our 2022 pole raising at Xaayna, Haida Gwaii. I am wearing a fancy woven cedar bark hat by Marlene Liddle, holding my gaawjaaw (drum) designed and painted by my brother Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. The design on the drum is one of our crests, the maamats'iigaay (dragonfly). This is a photo of my daughter dancing at a recent potlatch on Haida Gwaii. She is wearing a ceremonial robe featuring our clan's principal crest, K'aagwaay (Five-finned Seamonster). The design is by my brother, Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. It is the principal crest of our clan. When people see K'aagwaay, they know they are looking at a Kay'ahl Laanas Haida. I made the blanket, hand-cut out and machine-appliquéd the design. My daughters' aunties sewed on abalone buttons. She was presented this robe at her high-school graduation to mark this passage in her life. She is wearing a fancy cedar bark-woven hat by Marlene Liddle. *Jeff Gibbs photo. This is a photo of a a person becoming a Gaagiixid (Wild person of the woods) mask by my brother Iljuuwaas Tyson Brown. Wood-carved, painted, horse hair, abalone shell eyes, operculum shell teeth. We dance Gaagiixid often to capture the attention of the audience before performing ceremony, but there is much more to the gaagiixid.

"Kahless himself used it to skin the serpent of Xol, to harvest his father's field, to carve a statue of his own beloved. It's a SWORD! But Worf doesn't know what to do with it, except bow before front of it and then hand it over to his precious Emperor." #StarTrek
Illustration of a Klingon male (Kahless, the Unforgettable) holding a bat'leth in battle against the "serpent of Xol". Close up of Kahless and the serpent's faces

Chasing the mermaid
A digital illustration of two young boys in a small playroom. The playroom appears to be underwater, in a kelp forest. The walls and windows are covered in childlike drawings and maps of a mermaid swimming around the outside of their house. They are both looking studiously at their maps and drawings. The mermaid swims through the kelp out a window behind them. The boys run down a hallway. Outside the large windows, a mermaid hangs on the tail of a hammerhead shark. The colors are blue, with a pop of orange through their doorway. The boys rave across a landing. Out the window is a pod of orcas. The mermaid swims ahead. The colors are blue.

Hanasei are a semiaquatic species that originated from mangroves, but expanded into river forests and riverbanks. They have keratin "helmets" with horns and gills that can produce any sound out of water. They produce water Aether.
