![[the serpent under it cover art, which features the still art “pomegranate photography” by vlad loktev. in this piece, there is a pomegranate roughly split into thirds, crimson seeds spilling onto the newspaper beneath. the background is otherwise black. the description of this art piece says it is digital photorealism from 2017, but to me it’s sort of giving old school vanitas painting in terms of color and texture. over the background, there is a faint, dark green snakeskin pattern, with only the pomegranate visible above the texture. at the top, in scratchy all-caps handwriting, the text reads “the serpent under it.” and, beneath that, in a crisp sans serif font, “a voldemort wins au.” in the bottom right, in much smaller font, the text reads “by ninepiecesofcrait.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kpfs5bzft36aodtxo5joq73q/bafkreie7qxrnhxqocwxub7uuhmyel27cbti7m2t2w6pfo2ozaam6fv3vdq)

![[picture of a piece of red and white check gingham fabric that’s a little rumpled up, so there’s light and shadows. at the top, in a crisp, sans series, all caps font, the text reads: punch down, with the word “punch” bowing upwards and the word “down” bowing downwards. the effect is that the two of them are nestled together. under that, there is the actual swirly flourish from the gbbo logo, and then, at the bottom, in the paterson font: a great chandrilan bake off au by ninepiecesofcrait.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kpfs5bzft36aodtxo5joq73q/bafkreifxxgiepwpcp77yv4kul3lpwwfzsnhn6vtosggxhlptxx4ped5abm)
