from Peter Gabriel's Steam, a scene of him where he is a train. he is not about to be suplexed by Sabin, but it seems to be within the Relm of possibilities.

in honor of @duckvalentine.bsky.social defending the performances from a game that will allow you to speed up the VO, cloudvin chipstryfe. drawn on my phone, ca. 20 minutes

a hastily drawn chipmunk cloud strife, in the general ouvre of alvin and the chipmunks. he's standing in the conventional 90s concept art posture cloud is depicted in, wearing the same outfit, but he's a chipmunk.

just checking in on a movie i somehow actually haven't seen and, well, haha, i find I doubt this search result

the google ai has decided sleepaway camp (1983) is somehow associated with a smiling image of kenan thompson, who would have been five years of age when the film released. anyway, it certainly seems like sleepaway camp is a movie.

threading the three stooges with their actors here

Quill, our largest pug, who has a heart of purest gold. He's wearing a tiny knit hat and seated in front of a shelving situation of children's toys.

Patrick Warburton as The Tick, an articulate, optimistic, purehearted, yet foolhardy invulnerable lummox.

if you've never seen it and wish to spend some time celebrating tim curry, might i suggest one of his more disarmingly, charmingly nerdy roles: dr. thornton poole in oscar. obviously all of his roles have been great- the man was made of a strange kind of magic- but i never see people mention oscar.

a film poster in landscape for the movie Oscar, starting sylvester stallone in top billing as mafioso "snaps" provolone. it's a great movie and to say much at all about it would overplay my hand, you should just watch it.

I'll probably do alright, in the end. Probably. It's probably fine. Probably. It'll be okay. Probably. I think it'll probably work out. Probably.

when the AI is doing just fine

an ai overview of a search for "stop screaming" where the ai claims to be calm and gives me advice on how to calm down. this is obviously helpful advice if you're not looking for silly pictures.

a snip of Google's search ai responding with suicide and crisis hotlines to the search query 'stop hitting yourself', which honestly is actually a pretty reasonable and normal response to someone looking for silly pictures.

being a wretched hag who's been on the internet forever, i gotta say i find it extremely funny that the GÜNTHER shades and moustache look is in again.

GÜNTHER, a white male musician briefly popular for comedic reasons in the early oughts, posing and mugging for the camera in ombre shades with his thin moustache and fauxhawk, making an extreme duckface. he is so seductive. you are seduced by him.

@parkermj.bsky.social drew jimothy with the kids' markers and doesn't generally "do" social media but has given me permission to share

a drawing of jimothy raccoon, a delightful scamp with short spine syndrome giving it a suspicious yet playful cast to its stout round body and making its limbs appear unusually long. the drawing is in washable Crayola markers on printer paper, favouring crisp black lines and hatched grey fills to suggest jimothy's coat pattern. "JiMOTHY" is written against his left rear flank.

hair and wardrobe really made some magic happen either in this movie or outside this movie, not sure which. good for her (or us)

a snip of imdb showing jennifer garner erroneously using the portrait of david keith, the actor who played jack murdock, who is matt murdock's father by the way. i bet you didn't know that. Colin Farrell stands next to him as the image is cut off, glancing past him. at you. ben affleck is also present, as in the movie.

okay so i completely missed mystery inc. because it came out when i was deep in the art school hole, but uhhhh watching it now with my kids and i have a new favourite scooby gang adjunct character? she rules? she's the best?

Marcie Fleach, also known as Hot Dog Water, a skinny awkward kid who has a lot in common with Velma Dinkley. Her hair is messier, her yellow glasses sit lower and more awkwardly on her face, and she is generally disheveled. She is also big time gay for Velma (not portrayed in this image).

well, there is... this. which isn't that.

one of the covers of national lampoon's DOON, a dune parody where melange is replaced by beer and instead of sandworms there are giant pretzels. i haven't read it. i don't know if it's actually funny or good. i don't have a good relationship with national lampoon.

noticed my strawberry pop tarts are best if used by Mr. Saturn. including a mr. saturn line for context.

A strawberry pop tarts box where the best if used by date has become misaligned and misprinted into whimsical whirly swooshes and loops.

a screenshot from Earthbound in which Ness speaks to a Mr. Saturn, who says "i give you special thing" in the creatures' signature alphabet, which is all weird and loopy and swooshy.

「If not me, then who」
You are someone who keeps standing even while broken.
Your memories have lied to you—they always have—
yet the hand that grips the sword never wavers.
You learned long ago to carry pain alone,
to build walls so high that even you forgot what's behind them.
But something moves in you before thought can stop it:
when someone falls, you are already there.
That contradiction—the distance you keep, the fights you take—
is not emptiness. It is the shape of someone
who refuses to stop caring, no matter the cost.
The real battle was never against Sephiroth.
It was against the voice that said you were no one.
You are not no one.
You never were.

Your Hidden Inner Self
FINAL FANTASY VII
Sephiroth
Deep inside you carry a "rightness" that no one else understands. You go along outwardly, yet there are moments when you quietly believe you're the one who's right.

the leaves look kind of like the lefthand example for leaf structure in this buttercup illustration. stem looks a little thin but the flower seems right, too? I'm a dunce with plants but I'm learning lately.
