I've been giving that YouTube thing a try. Mostly video essays about video games lately, especially RPGs. Chronically logged out. https://www.youtube.com/@echobizarre

Thumbnail for my Zero Parades video, with Hershel in front of the Quest For It splash art with the text "A Replica About Replication." Ooh, wonder what that means

A screenshot from the TV show Black Sails of a book open to a page in which someone has scrawled "My truest love. Know no shame. T.H." No further elaboration in case of spoilers

A screenshot of Maui's song from Moana on the line "I see what's happening, yeah" but the "yeah" is replaced with Hornet's bark line (from Hollow Knight 1 but not in Silksong but whatever) "shaw" and Hornet's head is over Maui's face and Lace's head is over Moana's face

Screenshot from Disco Elysium. The text reads:

"You - What? No!
Limbic System - Oh yes, party boy. And it's *worse* than the one before! Just think of the shit you saw! Here it comes too, so soon already! A silent alarm goes off in your head, like clockwork, barely let you sleep at all... Time to get those clothes on, Harry! Time to go to work in the shit factory!"

MauLer promoting his 18 hour Star Wars Outlaws ramble or whatever it is on X the Everything App with a pastiche of End of Eva (though when I saw the video in my recommended it had a different thumbnail so either he's A/B testing or thought better of this thumbnail)

An image I made as a goof of the poster for End of Evangelion with the title edited to be "The End of The End of Evangelion" and the giant Rei face replaced with a smaller End of Eva poster turned on its side

Four comic panels.
Panel 1: wide shot of the Fantastic Four approaching their Fantasticar in the distance.
Human Torch: "You may call me hot-headed, leader man, but it seems to me that the government's made a big mistake here! We know Doc Doom a lot better than Henry the K does!"
Mr. Fantastic: "That may be, Johnny, but I'm sure Dr. Kissinger feels this is the best way to neutralize Doom's threat!"
The Thing: "Neutralize Doom? Har de har har!"

Panel 2: close up of Mr. Fantastic looking pissed off.
Mr. Fantastic: "Listen to you two! You talk like revolutionaries! If you don't like the way I'm running this team, you can always go it alone!"

Panel 3: Two-shot of Torch and Mr. Fantastic arguing.
Human Torch: "Maybe we just will, Reed! You talk about how Ben and I sound, but you sound like Neville Chamberlain before World War II! He said Hitler wasn't going to bother anybody-- and Doom's just a modern-day Hitler!

Panel 4: Torch is really mad, while Invisible Woman holds him back from behind.
Human Torch: "He's sitting up here in the middle of Europe with only one goal, the conquest of the world! And now that he's got Namor--"
Invisible Woman: "Johnny, please! Let's not fight among ourselves! It's Reed's decision to make!"

Three comic book panels.
Panel 1: Dr. Doom stands at the top of a staircase with the Fantastic Four below. A man stands in the shadows of a doorway up behind Doom.
The Thing: "It's Doom -- Waitin' for us!"
Dr. Doom: "I warn you, Fantastic Four: Leave my castle immediately!"
The Thing: "We'll leave, all right-- after we've fixed your little red wagon!"

Panel 2: the shadowed man is HENRY KISSINGER! He steps in front of Dr. Doom.
Kissinger: "No, Mr. Grimm-- you will do as Dr. Doom says-- for as your secretary of state, I have just concluded a non-aggression agreement with Latveria! From this moment on, no Americans may interfere in this nation's internal affairs! We need Latveria on our side-- to maintain our national security and world peace!"

Panel 3: Mr. Fantastic and the Thing are shocked and disturbed.
The Thing: "Wha-at? If you think--"
Mr. Fantastic: "Don't, Ben! We've never bucked the government before, and we can't start now-- no matter what our feelings! This is over our heads!"

Screenshot of Steins;Gate in-game Tips List showing the definition of "chuunibyou": "Chuunibyou, which is often abbreviated 'chuuni,' also refers to the fictional tropes that teenage males often enjoy, such as ancient conspiracies, superpowers (especially powers sealed in a character's eye or arm), Norse mythology, battles for the fate of the multiverse, etc. The consummate chuunibyou case will work such elements into his own personal 'backstory.' Okarin is a textbook example.

a recreation of the "Drake pointing" meme with the Detective from Disco Elysium in place of Drake, looking stern up top next to images of XXX Nightshift, Hopetown, and Project [C4] (announced successor projects) indicating disapproval and pointing with a smile on the bottom next to images of NORCO and Slay the Princess indicating approval
