Scott McCloud, Understanding Comics, p 38 1. The late, great Marshall McLuhan observed a similar form of non-visual awareness when people interact with inanimate objects. (McCloud holding up a iconic mask in front of his face gestures towads a screen displaying McLuhan) 2. When driving, for example, we experience much more than our five sense report. (POV of two hands on a steering wheel of a car) 3. The whole care--not just the parts we can see, feel, and hear-- is very much on our minds at all times. (Profile silhouette of the driver of the car. A cutaway of their head shows an iconic car inside it) 4. The vehicle becomes an extension of our body. It absorbs our sense of identity. We become the cat. (Same as previous, but the icon is now a more fully rendered car that expands beyond the head) 5. If one car hits another, the driver of the vehicle being struc is much more likely to say "Hey! He hit me!!" than "He hit my car!" or "His car hit my car!", for that matter. (The car being rear-ended by another car with a KLUNK) 6. Our identities and awareness are invested in many inanimate objects every day. Our clothes, for example, can trigger numerous transformations in the way others see us and in the way we see ourselves. (The same man three times in the same pose but different clothes, first in tails top,hat and cane, then in heart boxers with a towel, finally in jeans, a shirt with the #49 on it, and a baseball bat)
How Many X-es? Before starting play, the players and Director will discuss what level of content EVERYONE is going to be comfortable with in Love Scenes. Freely readdress this each session or even each scene to make sure EVERYONE remains comfortable. Maybe your group is feeling their oats this week and wants to go Hardcore Pornography, or thinks it would be funnier to play a session as Make Out Point when their baseline is Turgid Purple. Some suggested content levels. Tweak them or invent your own to best suit the needs of your table. Fade to Black: Simply fade out the scene when it starts getting spicy. The spiciness is the point of this game though so no judgment but maybe go play something else instead. Make Out Point: Time to neck, get to like second base, or do something really gross like getting all sappy and catching feelings. Train Entering Tunnel: The focus changes to aspects of the scene that are metaphorically suggestive- Flowers bloom and machines piston as the music swells. Turgid Purple: Bodices are ripped and manhoods throb. If it's not overly poetic and euphemistic, become even more flowery. Hardcore Pornography: Explicitly detailed yet physically improbable acts. Boobs will bounce breastily, cocks shall thrust onomatopoeically, and words like “moist” may be uttered.

A meme about the divergent evolution of Pakicetus and Indohyus into blue whales and deer, respectively. In the first panel Pakicetus says it must search for food in the waters and Indohyus says "You will regret this... the environment will force you to adapt." In the last 2 panels (35 million years later) Pakicetus is now a blue whale and makes whale song noises, and Indohyus, now a deer confronted by its distant whale cousin, says "WTF".

Alucard from Hellsing, a vampire in a red coat and hat with yellow lenses sunglasses, white gloves with sigils on them, a deranged look on his face and a crucifix between his fangs. Yup for sure Alucard is his only name and anyone saying different is a liar. He also kills a lot of Nazis so good for him
A forbidden cord, even more diabolical than one would imagine. A male/female plug with an additional female plug connected to it by a cord fortuitously just short enough to prohibit plugging it into itself, though an enterprising individual could easily find a workaround.

The Lamb Your possessions: A candelabra: Holds five candles, which is all you have. Keeps the darkness at bay. Ornate, heavy. What color are the candles? A book of matches: For when the candles go out. For when you run out of candles. It contains d6 matches. What is depicted on the cover? A nightgown or pajamas: Prone to catching on branches or talons. Are they chaste or risqué? Choose one of the following: A talisman: A symbol of your faith. A lucky charm. A ward against evil. What is it? A book: What you were reading when you heard something in the corridor. What is its title, and what is salacious about its contents? A letter opener or pen knife: The closest thing to a weapon you could lay your hands on. It is not sharp. What is its handle made of?

Four panel comic. Panel 1: A black woman in yellow shirt and orange dress is being handed a bouquet of flowers by an unseen figure in a suit. "I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (ooo)" Panel 2: The figure is revealed to be four eels in a suit. "I am four eels" Panel 3: A younger black woman in a pink shirt and darker pink pants is crying. The same suited arm is seen reaching out to her, a speech bubble saying "Baby wait" - "Never meant to make your daughter cry" Panel 4: The eels have now collapsed into a wriggling pile, the suit laying empty. "I am several fish and not a guy"

Panel from The Invisibles Mr. Gelt, a heavy-set middle aged man in a black suit and sunglasses and a man in a labcoat with a syringe loom over Jack Frost, a dumbfuck teen in hospital clothes as he is backed against a wall full of jars containing bits of brain and whatnot. Mr. Gelt: "Two things we will make you; Smooth between the legs, smooth between the ears. And what we take from you, will feed the kings of this earth. Good..."

A bird chirps high in the trees, and his gaze rises skywards, seeking it out, eyes narrowing against the sun scything between the leaves. It is not a song he is familiar with, but soon it stills before he can glimpse its source, and his gaze drifts downwards back to the pond. His bow wrinkles in consternation. How long has he been standing here? The din of battle reverberates once through his mind, a pang like an old wound, then subsides and he is once more at peace, watching the light dance on the gentle ripples the breeze caresses into the surface of the water. Fire is obvious in its fascination, even brazen yet is incapable of the depths that a body of water can draw the mind into... how long has he been standing here? He is shocked from his revelry by a strange, rhythmic roar and his hands glide to his blades almost without a thought as a young woman rides into view across the pond on some sort of strange, metal device, its two narrow wheels turning though nothing draws it forward. The device rolls to a stop, and after its strange roar ceases the woman dismounts. She is foreign, her golden hair into a pair of tails with yellow ribbons. Her manner of dress is strange and unknown to him and is certainly immodest. She raises an arm to wipe the sweat from her brow, and then, turning to the pond and giving a quick glance around to see that no one is looking, begins to disrobe, garments rustling up an over and folded carefully as more and more curving flesh becomes revealed, bending down as she removes the last article. He watches as she does all this, as though it is in a dream. She lies only across the pond, but that distance seems to mark another world, another lifetime. He turns away, his thoughts drifting back once more to the battle. “She can not see me,” he thinks, as she wades into the water.
I samurai He had expected to die in the battle. Everywhere was the clash of steel on steel, screams of challenge, screams of dying, cannon roar and beneath it all that unheard murmur that rises wherever humanity gathers en masse. Everywhere until it was all gone, all gone save for the crackle of what fires still burned, choking the already crowded air with acrid smoke. He had expected to die in the battle yet here he still stood, exhausted, panting. Surrounded by the dead, he lurched forward, his odachi chipped and bloodied now put to the purpose of crutch. No one else stirred. No other survivors. No. A furious roar and his assailant was upon him, tumbling them to the ground, strong hands wrapping around his throat. A hateful sneer of rage becoming the whole of the world now, even the fires falling silent. Even the beat of his heart. Feebly, his hand drifts towards his wakizashi. * * * * *

A bright red snowplow parade float with FUCK ICE painted on its scoop pushing a bunch of ICE vehicles down the street as people also beat them with sticks. A band plays in the back of the float, and a giant whistle follows behind it. Behind the whistle is a giant loon float, beating it's wings and making loon noises.
Slay the Spire II screenshot of the Necrobinder about to be slain by a trio of Wigglers, horrible little clusters of writhing worms with toothy maws at the center. Her hand is full of Infection cards depicting writhing worms with a border treatment of worms that actually do writhe all over the edges of the card in game. Disgusting.

Screenshot of a CNN article on the WHCD shooting. Relevant text: Inside the jammed ballroom, guests had taken their seats and were picking away at burrata and cucumber salads when it became clear the evening had taken a frightening turn. Cracking sounds in quick succession from outside the ballroom doors caused the loud hum of conversation to quickly turn silent. And then there's an ad because of course there is.

The entire shot is "upside down" There are multiple other pictures as part of this post. You wouldn't know it to look
The Padme/Anakin meme but Frey's vacant face has been poorly photoshopped over Anakin's. In Padme's first panel she is smiling, and the subtitles read "By introducing policies to help people, right?" In Padme's second panel she is now longer smiling, yet the subtitled question remains the same.
