A drawing of a white person with short curly black hair and dark brown eyes smirking. They are wearing a black turtle neck under a yellow sleeveless hoodie. They have multiple moles on their face and multiple ear piercings. The background is a pale blue sky with fluffy clouds. A young man with long curly black hair partially pulled back by a red tie looks to the side tiredly. His red eyes lack white sclera and have thin bags below them. Their slightly pointed ear is adorned by a long pointed earring. He is wearing a purple vest, a white shirt, and a red cravat. The background is a solid berry red. Around the illustration is a gold art nouveau style frame that features a bat wing motif. A drawing of a white girl with just-past shoulder length black curly hair and beauty marks below her eye and lower lip. She smiles showing red nail polish on the hand she holds up by her chin. She is wearing a red top under a black hoodie with wide white stripes on the sleeves. A red robotic figure stands gripping a the hilt of a sword with one hand, the other bracing the blade. Its body is made of several red oblong teardrop shaped parts connected by pairs of dark desaturated purple rails. Its chunky fingers, jaw, and feet are a matching dark purple. The sword it holds has a swooping red guard and a gray blade that ends in a curve. The figure stands on pale pavement in front of a grassy park with palm trees. Out of focus in the foreground is a bike with a basket and at the corners of the image are bits of other robotic figures.

A drawing of a white girl with long red hair and green eyes smiling and looking off to the side with the back of her hand almost raised to her chin coyly. She is wearing a white collared shirt under a light blue sweater with matching painted nails. The background is light green and a simple vine with leaves creates a circle behind her head. A young woman with red hair in a Gibson girl style bouffant up do and green eyes looks to the side smiling with her head titled up to the side. Dark markings travel from the corners of her eyes and brows into her hair line making a similar pattern as the black veins on the large orange butterfly wings at her back. She is wearing an 1890s inspired green dress with gold trim. The background is a pale yellow. Around the illustration is a gold art nouveau style frame that features a butterfly. A drawing of a white boy with red hair, fluffy parted bangs, and a soft smile. He is wearing a black t shirt with light accents and a denim jacket. A blue humanoid robotic figure leaps forward with one arm up, blocky fingers outstretched. It has large oblong holes through its forearms, lower legs, pelvis, and chest, the inner lining of each is a bright shining surface. Its head features two tones of blue and has a black panel on which two large round green eyes light up. It has short red antenna on the side of its head, matching the patches of red on its feet. Behind and through it can be seen a stretch of grass, palm trees, and a light blue sky. The figure casts an almost skeletal shadow on the pale pavement in front of itself. A yellow hand from another robotic figure is also in frame.

A brown-skinned Moroccan Boy who has pink curls resting on short, messy dark brown hair. He has a neutral expression and a flush all along the middle of his face. He has sparse facial hair and thick dark eyebrows. He is wearing a deep red suit jacket, a yellow button down shirt under that. The background is a chalkboard. A young man with short curly brown hair and brown feathers growing from their temples looks to the side with a lightly worried expression. He has feathered ears, a brown animal-like nose, brown spots on their cheeks, white eyelashes, golden eyes with yellow sclera, and thin beak-like lips. They sport a thin mustache and goatee. He is wearing a red vest, yellow shirt, red round rimmed glasses, and a red string tied around their neck. The background is a solid bole brown. Around the illustration is a gold art nouveau style frame that features the face of an owl. A drawing of a Moroccan girl with very long curly reddish brown hair pulled into a ponytail with pink highlights. They look over their shoulder to smile at the viewer. She is wearing a yellow hoodie with pink sleeves and accents. A large yellow robotic figure in the shape of a suit of armor stands, made of floating limbs and a torso connected by an invisible force. Its head is a large opaque glassy orb sitting atop a broad yellow chest with pink and gold ornate embellishments. It's large gauntlet-like hands and forearms are adorned with crescent shaped bright yellow shields, one of which is held vertical as if in anticipation. The background is a street in front of a strip green grass and palm trees. At the corners of the image are the tips of appendages from other brightly colored figures.

She is wearing a pale blue and pink blouse with lacing on the chest and long flowy sleeves. A pink humanoid robotic figure with a torso reminiscent of a rib cage, slender pink limbs with an extra pair of small arms wrapped around its waist, a light pink pointed head with a light blue beak-like visor, and a pair of light blue holographic bird-like wings with a matching light blue avian tail. It hovers midair with its more human-like pair of arms held delicately out and up, one hand beckoning with pointed fingers. The background is the tops of palm trees. Barely seen at the corners of the image are small glimpses of other robotic figures.

This is an album art by @ashteroids.bsky.social appreciation post! 💖
A drawing of a welcome to town sign that instead reads "Some Place to Be Season One: We Used to Be Friends". The sign is white with a wooden border and blue text. At the top of the sign is Some Place to Be's logo, a dark blue silhouette of buildings on a coast with a yellow sun setting behind them. Behind the sign is a marsh like those of the New England coast with trees off in the distance. An ornate window overseeing a pink hued sky and green landscape. There is text on the window that reads Some Place to Be Season 2: Butterfly Court. The window is on a green wall with gold decals reminiscent of large butterfly wings A drawing of semi-futuristic buildings in front of a silhouetted skyline. A sign on the side of the closest building reads SP2B Season 3: Burning Hearts Forever. The bright blue sky behind the skyline has abstract white orbital line and falling stars. Podcast album art that is a drawing of a VHS tape coming out of a sleeve. The labels read Some Place to Be, one shot collection, Final Bid: Laws Out 2. The sleeve has a silhouette drawing of a balancing rock and an American western town in all warm colors. The background of the image is dark blue with yellow and pink gradient lines, reminiscent of a "coming soon to own on video and DVD" preview screen.

Five colorful robotic figures spring into action in front of a grassy park with palm trees and a pale blue sky. In the middle stands a large yellow suit of armor like robot with shields on its forearms, to its left a blue robot with oblong holes through its limbs leaps forward, and above them a wiry purple robot with blades on its wrists is mid jump. Up to the right flies a pink robot with skeletal features and large light blue wings. On the ground to the right stands a red robot gripping a large sword.
