Curiosity, kindness, passion, and whimsy. That’s it that’s the whole point.

We see Goldie Hawn's character, Helen Sharp, in the 1992 film "Death Becomes Her," angry from being shot through the stomach with a 12-gauge and dressed in a red shirt. There's a large hole in her stomach from the shotgun blast, through which we can see the background. The Oracle logo has been clumsily photoshopped around the hole.
In-game note found near a dozen bloody chickens: “You call this a cell? No, no, no. It is a window into another world, into truth, into a place that grows and twists beyond the laws of God. It speaks a language I cannot understand, but I hear. O, how I hear. Hairy legs, clicking and flies, smothered in silk. Listen? Can you hear it too? Can you? Can you hear the wicked whispers of the spider, those spindly, bristly spiders whose wild webs tell me things…

“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing. “And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-” She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.” After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”

A screenshot of the iMDB trivia page with misinformation inserted on purpose for a joke that reads "In the “Pie-O-My” episode, Tony doesn’t actually throw his horse into the incerator at the racetrack creamatorium after his horse disappoints him. That was movie magic. Also, there is no real business at any New Jersey racetrack called “Glob-a-Glue.”

Otto the bus driver from The Simpsons with half of a speech bubble to make it look like he’s saying the post above.
a popup screen from a financial website indicating you have been logged out that says "You're busy, we've got your back." The illustration is of a lanky person in a yellow sweater and blue pants riding a skateboard with their left foot while their right drags behind them. The sun shines above over a nondescript city. The person's focus is completely on the laptop screen they hold with their left hand--again while skateboarding--and we see a coffee cup in their right hand, because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, this person is busy.

When you finally admit you're struggling and ask for help. Below that, a row of three images, each with a caption below it in quotes. The first image on the left, a baking cookbook with "Remember, it's ok to put yourself first sometimes!" The middle image, a mise en place countertop with various baking ingredients with "Sorry friend. Let me know if you need anything." The right image, a glorious chocolate layer cake on a pedestal with "Dude I get it. Here's what I'm going to take of for you right now."

Cover of author Sarah Gailey’s novella “Taste of Marrow.” The text is a mix of serifs and sans and block, maroon in color on a mostly amber cover depicting an illustration of Adelia (with baby Ysabel slung on her side) and Hero squaring off with bandits in the swamp. All knives are bared.)
