The base of a telephone pole, with a cement cylinder beside it like some anchor. A small maple tree is starting to grow up against it. Partially obscuring the message scrawled on the cement part, it reads 'you matter' in blue marker.
An eight section black wall unit on its side, with a video game console in each section. There are even some doubled up. The top has more consols, including handhelds. There is a controller tower on the top. The cables behind the unit look like a bag of snakes. Please don't judge me.
Three red hens and a peacock taking pieces of bread from my hand. They are overexcited about it and do little hops to try to get it faster. The hens steal a piece meant for the peacock.
A game disk for the original PlayStation. It is for Breath of Fire 4. The disk is a very attractive shade of blue.
Three screenshots from Star Trek TOS, one stacked on top of the other. The first one shows a man in a robe and a woman in a really implausible bra-like top. The cation reads "I've never before met a Vulcan, sir." The second shot is of Spock and Kirk standing side by side, looking like their usual professional selves. The caption this time reads "Nor I a work of art, madam." The third shot is almost the same as the last one. No captions this time. But now Kirk is turned to his best buddy and first officer Spock like he doesn't even recognize the man anymore.
A very zoomed in, blurry hamster selfie, from that really unflattering below angle. You know the one. When you accidentally turn on your front facing camera when you weren't expecting it, and you become momentarily startled by the hobo staring back at you from your screen. Closed caption reads "it's already today?? What's next? Tomorrow? I can't do this anymore."
Character art. There are five figures. From left to right; a tall, dark skinned older man with long ears, wearing a yellow and orange wrap. Next, a slightly shorter brown skinned man with white hair in a sandy colored robe, standing barefoot. Next, a short, pale skinned man with a man-bun, dressed in a grey, white and red military outfit is adjusting his glasses. Next is another dark skinned man with long ears and short ears. He's tall and lanky. He's wearing a tight sleeveless dark shirt and grey military pants, with a rifle slung over his shoulder. Lastly is a tall woman in the same military colors with a long grey coat. She has a buzz cut and she's reaching for a gun at her hip.
A mostly white cat with some tabby splotches curled up and asleep in the crook of an arm.
A cream and white chow chow, in all his fluffy glory. His eyes are barely visible through all his fluff. He's as if some kid in art class made a dog out of cotton balls, stuck some little felt ears and a button nose on it, and then it came to life.
A white and tabby cat absolutely passed out in my lap as I lie on the couch. Kicked out of my reach by the elderly lady cat in question is my laptop, now too far away to get any work done. It rests, open and in sleep mode, somewhere by my feet. There are zero of the cat's fucks to be found at the lack of productivity in this scene. Bonus; my brown dog is also asleep further down on the same couch. But at least he isn't being a deliberate hindrance.
A calico cat on her back, white belly showing, slowly and serenely making biscuits in the air
A collection of gaming systems all hooked up to the tv. There are 8 cubbies in the wall unit, each with a console, plus two of the cubbies are split in two. More gaming stuff is on the top, including two more consoles, some gaming-related ornaments, controllers and hand helds. An absolute tangle of cables can be seen behind everything. The screen on the tv is showing the main map for Starfox 64.
A beige chow chow coming up a tall flight of stairs. He kinda hops each one, making him appear spring loaded. And it makes all his fluffy fur bounce along with him. Boing, boing, boing.
A manilla envelope with the word 'confidential' scrawled across it
Screenshot from tumblr, I think. The first user, Super-sootica, writes 'pros and cons of making things. Pro: Thing. Con: Make. A second user, alphagodith, replies 'you summed up the struggle of all creators ever so nicely
A black ikea kallax shelving unit, 4x2 shelving, on its side. It's being used as a shrine and set up to my videogames. Cable management is somewhat organized chaos. There are many consoles, including sega, nintendo, x box and PlayStation, from retro to modern, along with some handhelds and various controllers. Above is my sad little tv, BUT on it is my current game of Starfox 64
A grainy image from the cartoon Scooby Doo, like it's being seen on an old tv. Velma is in some kind of blue hallway, dressed in her usual orange sweater and red skirt. She has no glasses on is crawling on the ground on her hands and knees in the classic gag where she has lost her specs. The caption reads 'my subtitles! i can't hear without my subtitles!' In the corner is the place where the original image is from- ifunny.co
A very large long furred German shepherd, mostly black with tan legs. He's grabbing my pant leg and trying to drag me into his enclosure with him (in a friendly way)
The cover a wii game. In black and white, there is an ominous young girl holding a stuffed cat, and the name of the game is on top in blue and reads Calling. Both letter Ls and the letter I are slightly taller than each letter before, cleverly designed to look like cell phone signal bars.
A cropped photo of the cast of Star Trek The Next Generation. There are parts of other characters and autographs visible in the image, but front and center is Captain Picard. Written on his forehead in black sharpie is the letter Q. Across his chest is written 'Picard deserves it', and underneath that is the signature of John de Lancie.
