A book cover for the novel Coming Home by Carol Wyatt. The foreground is dominated by a woman with long, wavy brown hair, looking downward. She is wearing a buttoned, heavy textured coat with a tall collar and black pants. She has her hands in the coat's pockets. The setting is a snowy, rural landscape during what appears to be either sunset or sunrise, suggested by the warm, vivid hues of orange and yellow blending into dark blues and purples in the sky above the distant, snow-covered mountains. The woman is standing near a wooden fence, possibly split rail, partially buried in the snow. Her path begins in the background, where a small white farmhouse with a dark roof is visible nestled among snow-dusted evergreen trees. Snowflakes are visibly falling across the entire scene. The title, "Coming Home," is written in a flowing, script-like font in white across the top of the cover. The author's name, "CAROL WYATT," is written in a solid, capitalised white font at the bottom.

A promotional poster for the anime series Kids on the Slope, with the Japanese title Sakamichi no Aporon in large black characters above the English title. The scene is set on a slightly curving, uphill street under bright sunlight, with strong shadows cast from the left. In the immediate foreground, a light-skinned male protagonist with short, light brown hair stands looking over his right shoulder toward the viewer, positioned centrally on the street. He is wearing a dark blue Japanese school uniform jacket open over a red and white horizontally striped shirt. He is wearing a white sailor cap, which he adjusts with his right hand, and a black backpack. He appears to be pausing or turning as he walks uphill. Just behind him and slightly to the right, a dark-haired female character in a dark school uniform is also walking uphill. To the far right, a dark-haired male character with round glasses and a dark school uniform is walking uphill, holding a dark book or binder under his arm. The street is lined on the left by a high, textured stone or concrete wall that creates a deep shadow along the road. On the right, a set of steps leads up a hillside. Numerous other students in dark school uniforms are seen further down the street and on the steps, indicating a scene near a school.The bright,warm lighting and strong shadows suggest a sunny afternoon setting.

A rectangular decorative sign mounted on a wooden surface. The sign's face is light-colored, possibly white or cream, and features two lines of bold, dark text. The text on the first line is larger and reads: "BE YOU". The text on the second line, centered beneath the first, is slightly smaller and reads: "THE WORLD WILL ADJUST". The sign is framed by a simple, dark, rectangular wooden border, which shows visible grain and a slightly distressed look. This framed sign is positioned centrally against a darker, vertically-grained wooden background. The grain of the background wood runs vertically, contrasting with the horizontal orientation of the framed sign. The lighting appears somewhat diffused, creating soft shadows within the frame's edges.

An illustrated book cover for "If It Makes You Happy" by Julie Olivia. The scene is set on a sunny autumn day in a quaint town square, with a gazebo on the right and small shops with apartments above them in the background. Orange, red, and yellow leaves blanket the trees, fall from the sky, and litter the ground, which is lined with pumpkins. In the foreground, a young man and woman walk arm-in-arm. The man is on the left, wearing a brown leather jacket, a blue button-down shirt, and jeans with work boots. He has dark, messy hair. The woman, with long, dark brown hair, is on the right, wearing a black sleeveless button-up mini dress, a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, and tall black boots. She is holding the leash of a black and white Border Collie dog walking beside her. The title, "If It Makes You Happy," is large and stylized in white, hand-written script across the upper half of the image. The author's name, "JULIE OLIVIA," is in smaller white capital letters near the bottom center. A quote on the right side reads, "Pure rom-com magic." -B.K. Borison, New York Times bestselling author of First-Time Caller.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
An image from the Harley Quinn television series features the characters Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy standing in an otherworldly, brightly colored forest environment. On the left is Harley Quinn, a pale-skinned woman with two blonde pigtails, each dyed at the ends—one pink, one light blue. She has wide, light blue eyes and a playful, slightly surprised expression, with her mouth open in a small smile. She is wearing a black choker and a skimpy, fitted top that is half black and half red, with a large black star prominently featured on the red half. Her midriff is exposed. She is looking slightly off-center to the right, toward Poison Ivy. On the right is Poison Ivy, a green-skinned woman with long, vibrant red hair. She is wearing a dark green, structured leather jacket over a lighter top, which features a subtle white diamond emblem on the chest. She has a gentle, warm smile and is looking toward the right edge of the frame, her right arm is slightly raised and extended. The background is a lush forest setting, highly saturated with colors. Bright green trees and foliage dominate the upper background, while various glowing, mushroom-like structures and purple and pink plants are visible around them, suggesting a fantastical, psychedelic environment. The lighting suggests a bright, perhaps early morning or late afternoon glow filtering through the trees, casting a gentle illumination on the two figures.

A quote from the book The Swing of Things by Linda Keir, displayed in black serif font on a plain white background, formatted as a kindlequote. The text reads: "if he was really honest with himself, what he lusted after most was the feeling of falling in love. His memories of the early days of marriage included sex so relentless they fell asleep in the act, then woke up hours later and started right where they left off. But that kind of sex was triggered by emotional urgency. He missed the way Jayne used to look at him. Bridget looked at him like that, and it was intoxicating. Too much so. When he flirted with the moms on the playground, it wasn't to get into their pants—though that was pleasant to imagine—but to recapture a feeling that had grown all but extinct." Below the main quote, centered, is the author's name: "Linda Keir" and the book title: The Swing of Things At the very bottom, centered, is the hashtag: #kindlequotes

A close-up vertical photograph shows a piece of paper affixed to a weathered wooden utility pole. The pole itself is dark brown and covered in cracks and natural imperfections, secured by what appears to be clear packing tape horizontally wrapped around the poster at the top and bottom. The poster features a centered image of the pole's trunk, heavily textured and studded with numerous protruding metal tacks, nails, and staples from years of previous postings. The pole in the image appears lighter in tone, possibly due to lighting or processing, and has a background of blurred blue sky and green foliage. Surrounding the central image, large black text is printed on the white paper: Above the image, the text reads: I AM THIS POLE Below the image, the text continues: I USED TO BE A PERSON BUT NOW I AM THIS POLE THIS IS MY BODY NOW DON'T HELP ME, I LIKE THIS The scene is set outdoors under bright daylight, with a blurred residential street visible in the background, including a sidewalk and the partial view of a low, light-colored building or fence on the right.

A meme about the confusing nature of English pronunciation. The top section contains text and the bottom features four panels of an increasingly confused skeleton. The text reads: "if you ever think English is not a shit language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme, but read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead." The four panels below show a white, skeletal face with glowing red eyes, which appears to be a sequence from a comic book. • Panel 1: The skeleton's face is shown in profile looking forward with an intense, aggressive expression. • Panel 2: The skeleton turns slightly to the right, raising a bony finger to its chin in a pose of contemplation or deep thought. The expression is still intense. • Panel 3: The skeleton has turned slightly further right and is now pressing the bony finger more firmly against its temple, the expression suggesting intense concentration or confusion. • Panel 4: The skeleton's face is shown looking directly at the viewer, with a look of severe frustration and confusion, pressing the fingers of its right hand hard against its forehead. Above its head, a sound effect reads: "SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SK." The yellow background color suggests the skeleton is thinking extremely hard, as the sound effect appears to represent the sound of intense mental strain.

A single-panel comic strip by Chuck Ingwersen featuring a large, fluffy, reddish-brown yak sitting in a white bathtub filled with water. The yak is facing forward, looking slightly out of the panel, and takes up most of the tub. It has short, upward-curving horns, a dark muzzle, and a small, pointed dark beard. Its thick, shaggy fur is rendered with a textured, slightly messy appearance. The bathroom walls behind the tub are covered in light blue, square tiles, and a white showerhead and faucet handles are visible on the left wall. To the right, a bright turquoise shower curtain with a pattern of dark blue polka dots hangs partially drawn. Below the main image, a large yellow rectangular text box contains the following advice in dark brown capital letters: "If you plan to serve yak instead of turkey this Thanksgiving, be sure to put your yak in a tub of brine for at least 12 hours or until the yak says 'I'm quite moist.'" In the bottom left corner, small text reads "© CHUCK INGWERSEN, captainscratchy.com". In the bottom right corner, it says "Follow me on Instagram: @captainscratchy".

A dark-skinned Barbie-like doll sits on a bed in a pink-toned, slightly grainy, vintage-style photograph. The doll is wearing a textured, patterned dressing gown, cinched at the waist. She has bright, prominent white eyes, full lips painted a reddish-pink, and her dark hair is styled up. The lighting is low and moody, giving the image a soft-focus, cinematic feel, with noticeable film grain and light leaks contributing to the retro aesthetic. The doll is positioned centrally, gazing slightly down and to the left of the viewer, with her right hand resting on her knee. The background is indistinct but suggests a bedroom setting, with a wooden headboard partially visible behind her. Across the bottom of the image, the text "I GUESS TOMORROW IS REALLY STILL HAPPENING, HUH?" is overlaid in large, bold, white, capital letters.

A vertical poster divided into two distinct sections: a gritty, realistic foreground and a vibrant, fantastical background, illustrating the text "Books" and "That is exactly how they work." In the foreground, a young, fair-haired child wearing a bright red shirt and dark trousers is standing precariously on a tall, unstable stack of old, worn books. The stack rises against a dark, rough brick wall covered in graffiti and what appears to be a discarded wooden crate or dumpster to the left. The child's back is facing the viewer as they lean over the top of the wall, looking outward. The pile of books is brown, red, and tan, appearing to be the only thing giving the child the necessary height to see over the barrier. The background, visible above the wall, contrasts sharply with the foreground's drab reality, presenting a fantastical, richly detailed landscape. Across a body of water, possibly a moat or bay, sits a sprawling medieval-style castle with dark green ramparts and towers, nestled upon a golden-brown, rolling hilltop. The sky above is a deep, dramatic blue with hints of teal and purple, dominated by a large, close-up planet or moon in the upper left corner. A faint, streaking object, resembling a rocket or meteor, is visible near the celestial body. In the center-right of the sky, a large, striped hot air balloon (red, yellow, and green) drifts toward the castle. Below the balloon, several large, colorful butterflies, predominantly red and yellow, flutter near the castle and the water's edge.

A shirtless , masculine torso with a somewhat rounded abdomen, standing against a plain white background. The man's arms are on his hips, and he is wearing faded blue jeans. His bare chest and abdomen are the focal point. Digitally superimposed over his stomach area is a detailed, vibrant underwater scene, making his midsection appear to be a functioning, brightly lit marine aquarium. The aquarium scene shows a large, blue tang fish swimming prominently among various corals, sea anemones, green and purple seaweed, and several other smaller, brightly colored tropical fish. On the man's right nipple is a pink, plastic-looking, five-petaled flower shape with a circular centre, resembling a knob or valve. On his left bicep is a bracelet-like cuff or bandage featuring a blue-toned collage of the same underwater scene. The text "Dear Diary," in large, bold, white, sans-serif letters, is centered at the top of the image. The text "tonight, I turned into an aquarium." is centered in the same font at the bottom. The entire composition is framed by a broad border that fades from a bright cyan/teal at the top to a darker, deep blue at the bottom.

An image serving as a promotional poster for the television series High Fidelity features Zoë Kravitz as the main character, Rob, sitting behind the counter of a cluttered record store. Rob is positioned in the lower two-thirds of the image, resting her forearms on a stack of vinyl records that form the counter in the foreground. She has long, dark, wavy hair, with loose dreadlocks, that falls over her shoulders. She is wearing a white t-shirt and a dark, possibly olive green, knitted vest. She looks directly at the camera with a neutral, slightly serious expression. Visible tattoos cover the skin on her forearms, including a large butterfly outline on her left forearm. The foreground is dominated by countless stacks of vinyl records piled high on the counter, with their spines or tops showing. Some records have colorful price tags or labels, but the specifics are obscured. The background is unfocused, showing wooden shelving units filled with more records and miscellaneous items, suggesting the depth and density of the store's inventory. The lighting is warm and somewhat dim, giving the scene a vintage or intimate feel. The title of the series, HIGH FIDELITY, appears in large, bold, orange-brown, all-caps serif font across the top center of the image. The text slightly overlays the dark background shelving. The overall composition is centered on Rob, framed by the records, reinforcing the setting and her role.

Marilyn Monroe captured by photographer Bob Beerman in 1953 at her Doheny Drive apartment. This "Day in the Life" shoot for Modern Screen features the star in a candid moment, munching on a raw carrot while studying a script and enjoying a high-protein breakfast of raw eggs and milk.
Marilyn Monroe lounging in a messy bed, reading a script. The image is high contrast, with bright flash lighting creating distinct shadows on the plain light wall behind her. Marilyn is positioned in the center of the frame, leaning back against two white pillows. Her body is angled slightly toward the right, but her face is turned forward as she looks down at the papers she holds. She has short, light-colored, curly hair that is slightly tousled. Her expression is playful and concentrated; she holds a raw carrot in her mouth, biting down on the thick, light-colored root while dark, leafy carrot greens protrude from her mouth. A bed sheet is wrapped around her upper torso, leaving her shoulders and arms bare. Her left arm rests on the sheet, while her right hand holds the multi-page document open. Her legs are bent at the knees, one is visible on the left side of the frame. It is bare, and the lighting highlights the smooth texture of her skin against the darker, heavy blanket that covers the lower half of the bed. The blanket is rumpled. In the bottom right foreground, resting on the bed, is a breakfast tray. It holds a clear glass tumbler, a small round plate containing two whole raw eggs, and a glass milk bottle with vertical typography on its side. Another raw carrot is visible on the tray, reinforcing the health-food theme. The lighting casts a shadow of Marilyn onto the wall in the upper left quadrant. The textures vary from the crisp paper of the script and the smooth glass of the milk bottle to the soft, matte fabric of the pillows and the grainier texture of the woolen blanket.

A detailed illustration featuring two central characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: Alice and the Cheshire Cat. The scene is set outdoors, dominated by a large, gnarled tree with thick, winding branches that extend across the upper portion of the frame. The Cheshire Cat is positioned prominently on a thick, horizontal branch in the upper-center. It is a large, striped feline, characterized by its wide, unsettlingly broad grin, with visible teeth and a substantial pink tongue. Its body is composed of bands of pink and purple stripes. The cat is looking down towards Alice. A speech bubble, originating near the cat's head, contains the text: "We are all mad here." Alice stands on the grassy ground beneath the tree, slightly to the left of the center. She is depicted wearing a traditional blue dress with a white pinafore over it, a white headband, and dark shoes. She has shoulder-length light hair. Alice is looking up and slightly to the right, directing her attention towards the Cheshire Cat. Her posture suggests curiosity and a slight apprehension. A smaller speech bubble is near her head, containing the text: "At me?". The background is dense with foliage, suggesting a deep forest or woodland setting. Leaves are rendered in multiple shades of green and yellow, giving a sense of depth and slight shadow. The illustration style is rich and textured, suggesting a classic illustration aesthetic, possibly reminiscent of an old woodcut or engraving, though rendered in full color.

Post a GIF of your favourite childhood game.

The games of my childhood were in arcades. Despite being a classic I can't find Atari's Battlezone in a GIF search.
A screenshot from the vector graphics arcade game Battlezone (1980), rendered primarily in high-contrast neon green lines on a black background, simulating a first-person perspective from the cockpit of a tank. The display shows a sparse, flat, wire-frame landscape with distant geometric mountains on the horizon. In the center foreground, a large wire-frame enemy tank, recognizable by its turret and treads, is visible to the right. To the left of the enemy tank is a small, rectangular wire-frame box, which represents an obstacle or target. A horizontal line representing the ground/horizon runs across the middle of the screen. The player's targeting reticle is a large, glowing green crosshair centered on the screen, framing the central wire-frame objects. Above the action, across the top of the screen, are several informational overlays and indicators, all rendered in wire-frame graphics. In the upper-left corner, there is a red textual warning reading "ENEMY IN RANGE" and beneath it, "ENEMY TO RIGHT". Above this, a red wire-frame compass or radar display shows the relative position of objects, with a line indicating an enemy to the upper-right. In the upper-right quadrant, game statistics are displayed in white and red text: "SCORE" is followed by a value of "0000", and "HIGH SCORE" is followed by "5000". A small red wire-frame icon, possibly representing remaining lives or fuel, is positioned near the score display. The overall aesthetic is characteristic of early 1980s vector-display arcade cabinets, using minimal color to convey depth and movement.

Further down, there is a small white square with the social media handle "@BranterUk." The cover features a detailed illustration of a historical European street scene or town square. In the center is a pale stone building in a neoclassical style, featuring columns and a triangular pediment. This building is flanked by several others. The book itself is photographed standing upright on a shelf or surface, resting against a stack of other books whose spines are visible on the right. The spine of a dark blue book labeled "BRITISH" is partially visible along the bottom edge of the frame.

An eye-level, medium shot captures five young Muslim women, who make up the punk band Lady Parts, posing for a promotional image against a bright, graffiti-style background dominated by neon green and black text. The central figure, the lead guitarist, is seated slightly forward on a black speaker cabinet, gripping a vibrant red electric guitar with a black pickguard and neck. She has short, dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer with a strong, determined expression. She wears a white t-shirt covered in tattoos visible on her arms, ripped light blue jeans, and a red and black plaid flannel shirt worn open over the t-shirt. The guitar is adorned with small, colorful stickers. Standing to her left (viewer's right) is the drummer, wearing a deep blue hijab and black clothing, holding drumsticks and maintaining a serious gaze. To the far right stands the vocalist, looking intensely at the viewer, dressed in teal-green overalls layered over a patterned blouse, with a blue and black patterned headscarf. On the guitarist's right (viewer's left), two other band members stand. The woman closest to the center is the bassist, with her face mostly obscured by a black niqab and a silvery, textured headscarf, lending her an air of mystery. The woman on the far left, the band manager, wears an orange-brown hijab, a pale, textured top cinched at the waist with drawstrings, and a long, light blue denim skirt. She is looking thoughtfully to the side, with her hand held up to her chin. Dominating the bottom third of the image in large, jagged, neon pink capital letters, outlined in black, are the words: "WE ARE LADY PARTS". The overall aesthetic is bold, rebellious, and energetic, conveying the show's punk rock theme mixed with contemporary Muslim identity. The vibrant colors and bold typography emphasize the show's title and themes.

A vintage-style black and white photograph captures a chic woman in a domestic setting, likely a kitchen. She is positioned slightly to the right, looking down and to her right with a dismissive or slightly irritated expression. Her hair is styled in an elegant 1950s or 1960s updo. She is wearing a dark, high-necked garment, possibly a sweater or dress, and accessorized with a multi-strand pearl choker necklace and stud earrings. She holds a small, ornate teacup with a handle in her right hand, bringing it close to her chest. Behind her, out of focus, a traditional stovetop kettle or pot is visible on a surface to the left. The lighting is moody and dramatic. Across the bottom of the image, two lines of white text are overlaid in a bold, serif font: "I wanted to give a fuck today" on the top line, and "but it clashes with my outfit" on the bottom line.

A highly detailed black and white illustration resembling a conceptual or philosophical poster titled: "FROM BIRTH, WE ARE TOLD WHAT IS BIG AND WHAT IS SMALL. BUT WHAT IS THE REAL SIZE OF THINGS????". The artwork explores the relative scale of objects, ranging from the subatomic to the cosmic. The central question is presented in large, bold text: "PHYSICISTS WON'T GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER TO THE SIMPLE QUESTION: HOW BIG AM I? IS NOTHING BIG? IS EVERYTHING?". Various images are scattered across the poster, representing different scales: • vCosmic/Large Scale: On the left, a large outline of the Earth shows three small ants walking off the bottom edge, suggesting the vastness of the planet relative to the ants. On the upper right, a detailed, grainy image of a nebula or galaxy represents the largest scale. • Human/Everyday Scale: A silhouetted figure of a man in a suit holding a briefcase stands near the ants. A small silhouetted person sits cross-legged, playing a flute or pipe, in the upper center. In the lower left, a figure is seated, head in hands, symbolizing human contemplation or insignificance. A large, stippled illustration of an elephant, drawn with a blocky, pixelated appearance, represents a large animal. • Microscopic/Small Scale: In the upper center, a simplified diagram of a Bohr model atom (nucleus and orbiting electrons) is overlaid on the illustration. In the center-right, an image of a detailed, circular radiolarian or similar microorganism is shown with spines. • Conceptual Imagery: • A cartoon apple with a face and stick arms is jumping for joy in the upper left corner. • A small sign with text in a speech bubble style box in the upper center reads: "YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE!" with a pointing hand. • In the lower right, a detailed illustration of a human hand is held palm up, and a small, shaggy dog sits on the palm, with the text "PALM DOG????" pointing to it, questioning the scale of companionship.

The wall behind it is made of dark, distressed wooden planks.

The woman on the right has shoulder-length blonde hair and wears a long, deep crimson red coat with a fluffy white fur collar and cuffs, a white knit hat with a red pom-pom, jeans, and tall black boots. They are standing under a small cluster of green mistletoe with red berries hanging above them. To the left of the women is a tall, dark green Christmas tree decorated with yellow lights and topped with a prominent golden star, radiating light. The ground is covered in white snow, indicating a festive, cold, outdoor setting. The illustration style is bright and cheerful, evoking a cozy holiday atmosphere.
