promotional image for auction house dance party micro-holiday in video game World of Warcraft. Three player characters in varied club/dance attire hang out in an auction house, where a disco ball has dropped from the sky, and the floor now features multicolored light panels.
cropped screenshot from video game Hearthstone. It's a daily quest, asking the player to play 3 games with Nozdormu the Eternal in their deck. He's not a great card, but if both players have him at the start of the game, turns are much shorter, for quicker games.
screenshot from video game Hearthstone, Darkmoon Faire gatcha feature result. This player got the Signature version of the Void Blast card! (this is not a great prize).
screenshot from video game Hearthstone, Darkmoon Faire gatcha feature. The featured prize is a Maiev skin, pictured in the center. Arrayed around it is the other prizes you can win if you spin. There's still a free spin left!
screenshot from the pre-Warlords of Draenor cinematic, featuring Garrosh Hellscream. Garrosh is a tan Orc, with a prominent nose ring and tusks, and a black-tattooed lower jaw. He is glistening with either sweat or water, and lit like a chiaroscuro painting.
key art from Voyage to the Sunken City Hearthstone expansion. A sea monster is attracted to a bunch of naga by some glowing sea creatures, and is glowing itself as it roars.
screenshot from video game Hearthstone, reward screen from Darkmoon Faire, featuring the card the person posting this got: Hijacked Securitybot.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Stormwind City zone. Many multicolored fireworks explode over the city.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, during Darkspear Dash miniholiday, end of June. In the middle of the barren red rocks of Durotar, a celebratory banner is between two poles, with flowers at the top. The banner is the livery of the Darkspear Trolls, but worked in rainbow, with a transparent rainbow arcing above it.
Father's Day graphic. A series of pictures of Magni Bronzebeard from World of Warcraft in various states of peril, but always made of diamond, framed as polaroid photos against a wrinkled blue paper background. Text at the top reads: "Happy Father's Day!" Text at the bottom, smaller, slightly askew reads, "Thank you for always being my rock!"
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, new zone Naigtal. Against a backdrop of skyscraper-sized mushrooms, some fungal NPCs hang out. One is a creature that looks like a brontosaurus, but with a mushroom head. It is royal blue, with a glowing electric pink underside and details.
meme, from How To Train Your Dragon 2. In the bottom frame, the viking king says tearfully, "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." In the upper frame is a screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, showing a group of flickering candles in exterior player housing. Exterior lighting was removed during beta, but is back in the game as of patch 12.0.7.
A Windows 3.1-style desktop computer interface from the game Desktop Explorer. A pop-up message reads "Things have been getting a bit creepy... You'll do great! Just... Ignore the feeling of being watched."
A pixelated Windows 3.1-style computer desktop from the game Desktop Explorer. A pop-up reads "Hello! Thank you for installing Desktop Explorer!"
Title card for video game Desktop Explorer, showcased at Summer Game Fest. A parody of a Windows 3.1-era desktop, including legally distinct versions of MS Paint and Clippy. All the windows have pink top toolbars. Text in a central window reads "Desktop Explorer," with the "explorer" in a skewed font with weird CMY distortion.
screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Frostfire zone (Draenor). A cute little puppy made out of fire, with 'spots' of a dark rocky texture, stands in a frosty wilderness.
Screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Founder's Point Alliance Player Housing zone. A waterfall tumbles down rocky cliffs. In the foreground is sparse, but lovely flora, including a spray of yellow flowers. A rainbow arcs from those flowers, up and away toward the cliffs.
A set of some of my favorite mounts. This is the Pearlescent Butterfly in Suramar City. A pink butterfly is ridden by a player character in the center of the screen. A palace rises behind, with teal embellishments and blue domes, with motifs featuring moons. There is a fountain in the middle, while citizens chat near the foreground, a huge pink flower close to camera.
Screenshot from video game World of Warcraft, Talador zone. Astalor Bloodsworn is manipulating bright red magic. There is an army of constructs he is animating with this magic, some of which also floats in an orb in front of him. Behind is a massive transparent pink magic dome over a building with blue spires are a pink dome at the top. The sky is a bright orange color.
A botanical-styled print of the Fjarnskaggl herbalism plant from World of Warcraft, Legion expansion. It is a plant with a twisting woody stem, small leaves, and orange fruits/seed pods with a webbed, papery covering similar to ground cherries. Each part of the plant is labelled with a number, and text below is an attempt at a phonetic pronunciation guide. The background is black, and the graphic is ringed with a thin orange circle.
Still image from cinematic trailer for the new Overwatch x Fortnite collab (no I did not make this up). Several Overwatch and Fortnite characters are ready to fight together. Overwatch character D.Va's outfit has a lot of pink accents.
A cutesy Mother's Day card. There are various purple flowers bordering the image, with a few green leaves, and some gold accent leaves. Behind that looms Lilith from Diablo 4, a horned demon with massive wings. Text reads: "Happy Mother's Day" then, smaller, "To the woman who would give us the world / Thank you for everything."
screenshot from video game Hearthstone, Darkmoon Faire promotion. Alexstrasza, a woman with big horns and impressive-looking gold, red, and white armor, stands in the middle. Arrayed around her are a set of the other, less desirable Darkmoon Faire offerings (card skins and such).
