Waking up on Saturday after having Thursday and Friday off be like
The image shows Merry and Pippin from the Lord of the Rings movies, standing next to each other in a snowy forest-type setting. One looks confused, the other mildly displeased. Text on the top and bottom reads "We've had one, yes, but what about second weekend?"

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.
From the video game Persona 5 Royal, a black van with a yellow stripe across it drives through the desert. The van is an alternate form of Morgana, a being who might or might not be a cat.

I love fake-sounding facts. Here's one of my favorites:

I've long believed that art should be self-indulgent. (I've seen some stuff that got *too* self-indulgent, to the detriment of the story, but that's not important.)

I feel like a Venn diagram of what people find sexy/attractive/whatever would probably look something like this.

A multicolored diagram with at least seven different areas of different shapes and colors, all of them overlapping to varying degrees. There are labels, but they're unimportant for what I'm trying to say in my post.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
The cover of Garbage's self-titled first album. The picture is a mass of pink feathers with a stylized stenciled capital G in the center, and the band's name in the upper right in a similar font.

Name a film made between 2000 and 2010.

Iron Man (2008). The movie that started the MCU, that got the whole world excited about the comics I loved, and surprised the heck out of a lot of people who thought they had no reason to care about Tony Stark.
An early poster for the first "IRON MAN" movie, featuring Robert Downey Jr. posing in front of the titular suit, with the movie's other actors appearing around him.

Two women - an escaped slave and a street thief, both bonded to ancient draconic artifacts - must flee the grip of a powerful noble who wants their magic for himself, and escape the city where the sun never rises.

Two desperate women fleeing imprisonment.
Two draconic artifacts bonded to them.
A group of thieves who'll help them escape.
A powerful noble who'll do anything to get them back.
A secret that could ruin them.
A bond that could save them.
In a city where the sun never rises.

To quote "Space Opera" by Catherynne Valente:
A quote from "Space Opera" by Catherynne Valente, which reads: And Mira Wondeful Star had nuzzled down cozily between them like a big lanky cat, content for probably the last time in her life, and sighed out: "When the aliens come, there'll be one queue to fight them and one queue to fuck them, and the second one'll be longer by light-years."

Two men and a small child are standing by a traffic signal on an island in the middle of the road. All three are wearing shirts with DC Comics character logos. Both men look impatient; one is looking at his watch. A sign on the traffic signal reads "Wait here for green arrow."

Screenshot of a Twitter post from @caseyyrose: Someone who drowns in 7 feet of water is just as dead as someone who drowns in 20 feet of water. Stop comparing traumas, stop belittling your or anyone else's trauma because it wasn't "as bad" as someone else's. This isn't a competition, we all deserve support and recovery.

I bought this very cool squid from The Broken Circle last week and I love it. 🙂 Please take a look at their shop if you can.

An image in the older "motivational poster" style of meme. The picture shows Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar: the Last Airbender, laughing in an evil fashion with his eyes closed. Text below the picture reads "MARK HAMILL: Playing an evil father who attacks his son after finding out that he will be using his powers for good. If irony were strawberries, we'd all be drinking smoothies."
