rei: you've misunderstood from the start. you simply assumed without asking. shinji: nobody wants me. so, everybody just die. rei: then, what are those hands for? shinji: nobody cares whether I exist or not... nothing will change. so, everybody just die. rei: then, what is that heart for? shinji: it'd be better if I wasn't here either. so I should just die, too. rei: then, why are you here? (shinji as a child, crying with a large trave) bag next to him) shinji: is it okay for me to be here? (screen text: "Silence" - fades out)

selfie of a redheaded trans woman wearing a bright orange high vis vest over a blue shirt. she has round wireframe glasses and a septum piercing, appears to be buckled into a vehicle, and looks at the camera with an air of haughty insouciance.
a red fox curls up affectionately on the outstretched leg of the person taking the photo as they're seated at their desk with a laptop open to an email client. the fox looks beyond content with a sleepy, passive gaze, and appears to be looking directly at the viewer.
a green anole (Anolis carolinensis, a small lizard native to the southeastern US) perches on the trunk of a young American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana, an understory tree native to the eastern US). the anole is squinting at the camera as though suspicious and ready to flee. its tail is so long that it wraps around the small trunk and disappears out of sight.

a transparent background sports three stylized figures of increasing size. the smallest is a slate gray drone hovering, apparently, from the use of a pair of jewel-green wings. it resembles a very large moth or butterfly, and is the size of a large predatory bird. the next figure is an anthro deer woman with tan-brown fur whose ends are dyed lavender in a punk undercut hairstyle. she wears a green jacket over a white flight suit and a grey harness that supports a sidearm at one hip, an officer's sabre at the other, and a rifle strapped across her back. she is drawn to look stylized and simplified, with no visible mouth and only a small horizontal line to represent one eye. the final figure is a large, organic-looking mech, specifically a Balor-pattern from the tabletop RPG Lancer. unlike the typical Balor, this one is quadrupedal, and resembles nothing so much as a luna moth-like dragon. it has a striking pair of large, jewel-green wings with burgundy accents like those of a luna moth; these wings appear segmented and somewhat ethereal, as though made of some otherworldly substance—in this case, nanites. it also has a segmented body of white sections with pairs of small gaps shining bright green running up the torso and neck, resembling many pairs of eyes. it stands on four burgundy legs which appear somewhat avian and sport sharp talons with bright green accents. emerging above its hind legs is a large, slate gray tail in multiple segments that seem suspended in midair and glimmer with emerald sheen at the base of each spiky section; this tail is ferrofluid supported by nanites. its head is again slate gray, with a strong jaw forming an underbite where it meets the sharp teeth-filled maw of the upper cranium. finally, its head bears a long, slender horn of jewel green, which comes to a very fine point and seems a wicked weapon for skewering its enemies. the style of all three figures is at once intricate and simplistic, making excellent use of a limited color p…
