It's a fun read and a very pretty book. I had the pleasure of doing the typesetting for the interior as well as the title treatment!
A book being held up by a wooden holder. The Cover shows two figures in a hug. The taller one is gently kissing the shorter one on the forehead. A large blood-red moon shines over them as waves and ocean spray surrounds them. Interior view of the book, featuring a chapter start.

Because I realized my current favorite didn't make it on that tray photo...

Please ignore how bad my handwriting is.

What's a poster you had up in your room growing up?

...it's still hung up in my room
Poser for the movie "The Crow". Mostly black with the rectangular strip in white down the middle and the titular character waling in with his arms down and held curved backward like the folder wings of a large bird.

I had to dig a bit. Criminal Minds was the most glaring that came to mind.

Counter exemple from 2008 if useful? Jules in Flashpoint is usually decked out in as much covering gear as the guys.

#ShowMeYourKnits I have made that same shirt with Kat's Riverside Studio (as a fade from Prism to Corrosion)

But the favorite thing I did was this Storm shawl with CreartLaine's "Écossaise" yarn. The dyer had to stop, which is a infinite sadness.
Salty Air tea, laid flat. The color fades from a pale blue-grey to a darker grey with rust and charcoal specks. Storm shawl (pattern by Joji) in CreartLaine's Écossaisse yarn, Aubergine color.

All done!
Pattern : Morning Dew Shawl by Melinda Measor
Yarn : Fizwizbiz by Biscotte Yarns, in lavande
Beads : Dyna-Mites™, glass, transparent rainbow inside color lilac, #6

I'm just sad my camera is refusing to capture the sparkle from the Stellina
A large triangular purple shawl handing in front of windows.. The silhouette of a suncatcher can be seen through the stockinette sections of the body. the bottom of the shawl is lace and the way it's hung makes the lace cascade over itself. A close-up of the lace, where small beads can be seen in groups of 5 forming small triangles. The lace is very open and forms a mesh of circles.

I did a splurge.

Needle organizer binder from www.threadandmaple.com. I swear the cable rolodex alone is the best thing I've bought myself all year.
A very large plus bear, normal sized plush bear and small anxious plush duck holding a keyboard are sitting on a surface. The smallest of the bear is leaning against a very large leather binder being held by a clip on its right edge. Picture from a cable rolodex page from Threads and maple. Red cables with steel tips are individually zipped in milky white plastic pockets. A label has been affixed on the pocket noting the brand, size, and length of the cable. Picture of a page from Threads and Maple. Knitting needles are held in place with elastic bands. One pair is missing allowing the see the impression of the size into the leather. The page also features a zippered pocket.

Part 2! As part of the 2024 MTH fandom charity fundraiser I got one of my fic turned into podfic. Links in comments
A man (identifiable as Bucky Barnes from the MCU because of his metal arm) is falling through murky water. Lives indicate waves, keltp, and tentacles and blend until it's hard to tell which is which. The title YOU MAKE SENSE OF THE DEVIL is interwined with his legs. The bottom part list the author (Hermit9), Podfic reader (ReformedTsundere) and artist (King Cael)

Movies you've watched more than six times using only gifs (with ALT text)
A gif from "Captain America : The Winter Solider" showing the titular Winter Solider walking down a car in a slow and determined pace, holding an assault riffle in his right hand. He has a mask hiding the bottom half of his face and various other weapons strapped to himself. His left arm is shiny silver metal and has a fingerless leather glove.
