A tweet with a black background and white text, framed like a conversation. The post is from a user named "Page Turner" with the handle "@_Page_Turner", whose small circular profile picture shows a person with short dark hair and glasses smiling. The text reads: Someone: *trash talks their spouse* Me: Can't relate. My spouse is awesome. Them: For now. You just wait until you're out of the newlywed phase. Me: We've been together 12 years. Them: ???

A digitally created image featuring a quote in the centre against a solid background. The background is a flat, bright cyan or light blue colour. The text is rendered in large, stylised, bold, letters that appear three-dimensional due to an offset shadow effect. The main text colour is a vibrant pink, and the shadow or border colour is a slightly darker shade of pink or magenta. The text is warped into an upward-curving arch shape, giving it a playful, psychedelic, or retro aesthetic. The quote reads: "I'VE GOT 99 PROBLEMS AND 95 OF THEM ARE MADE UP SCENARIOS IN MY HEAD THAT I CATASTROPHIZE FOR NO REASON." Below the main quote, centred near the bottom, is a smaller, flat, one-dimensional text that says "@PHAEDRAPEER", which is the apparent credit or watermark for the creator. The overall composition is square and uses a limited, high-contrast colour palette.

A book cover for the romance novel "Ready or Not" by Melissa Brayden. The image is dominated by a central photograph of a young, attractive woman. She is fair-skinned with long, dark, slightly wavy hair that flows over her shoulders. She is looking directly at the viewer with an intense, captivating gaze. She is wearing a deep, wine-red, sleeveless dress or top with a plunging neckline, and she has both arms raised above her head, resting her hands lightly on her scalp, drawing attention to her shoulders and collarbones. On her left wrist, she wears several thin bracelets. The background is a blurred, warm wash of dark colours—blacks, deep reds, and oranges—suggesting an indoor, dimly lit, setting. Several circular, out-of-focus lights dot the upper right portion of the background, adding to the atmosphere. The author's name, "MELISSA BRAYDEN," is positioned across the top in a large, light-blue, serif typeface with a slight shadow effect. The title, "READY OR NOT," is stacked in the lower portion of the image in very large, stylized, capital letters with a thick, red outline and a white fill. The word "OR" is noticeably smaller than "READY" and "NOT" and is enclosed within a white circle that is integrated into the first 'O' of "NOT." Below the title, centred at the very bottom, is the series tagline in small, red, capital letters: "A SOHO LOFT ROMANCE."

A brightly coloured, retro pop art style illustration features a woman holding a cupcake and making a shushing gesture, with text overlaid that reads "i baked you some shuttethefucupcakes". The artwork is framed by a textured, light brown border that resembles aged paper or hessian cloth. The central image is set against a vibrant, solid pink background. The woman, drawn in a comic book or pin-up style, has striking, wide blue eyes and a playful, slightly mischievous expression. Her skin tone is a warm, medium orange-brown. She has voluminous, wavy hair, styled with a small clip or bow near the crown, that is an unnatural, bright lime green colour. She is dressed in a puff-sleeved garment that has a pinkish-mauve shade on the top and a darker lavender-purple shade on the lower visible portion, featuring ruffles at the bustline. The woman is holding a small chocolate cupcake topped with white frosting and a single red strawberry with her left hand, which is positioned close to her face. Simultaneously, her right index finger is placed vertically over her lips in a universal sign for silence. The artist's handle, "@PhaedraPeer", is subtly written in a small white font near the lower right shoulder of the woman's dress. The overall mood is cheeky, humorous, and bold, resembling the aesthetic of 1950s or 1960s American comic art.

A photograph featuring Kermit the Frog riding a bicycle outdoors on a dirt or gravel path. Kermit is positioned slightly right of centre and is looking forward with a cheerful expression. He is wearing cape or scarf that is orange and red. The bicycle is a light blue or teal colour with silver spokes and handlebars. The setting is a somewhat dreary, autumnal landscape, with blurred, bare trees and brown, dry brush in the background. In the upper left quadrant, a small brown bird is flying away from the viewer. Overlaid on the image in a large, slightly pixelated, bright yellow-green font is the following text: "When life shuts a door. Open it again. It's a door. That's how they work." The image has a low-resolution, vintage or meme quality to it. The background is muted and unfocused, drawing the eye to the central figure of Kermit on the bike and the superimposed text.

A logo featuring a stylised, triangular icon resembling a tent, mountain, or abstract shape above the text “BOREDWALK” and "LOS ANGELES" is visible in the top left corner. The body of the text reads: “Ladies, don't be a replacement for his mother. Be a replacement for the thing under his bed that he was afraid of as a child — mysterious, elusive, and probably from a hell dimension.”

A two-panel, side-by-side reaction image meme featuring actor Giancarlo Esposito, overlaid with text. On the left panel, the text reads: "ME MAKING FUN OF ROMANCE NOVELS THROUGH MEMES". Beneath the text, a photograph shows Giancarlo Esposito smiling broadly and laughing heartily, his mouth wide open. He is wearing a white suit jacket over a bright red shirt and tie. The lighting is bright, making him appear vibrant and jovial. On the right panel, the text reads: "ME LISTENING TO A STRANGER MAKE FUN OF ROMANCE NOVELS". Beneath this text, a photograph of the same actor shows a dramatically different expression. His eyes are wide open, staring straight ahead with an intense, shocked, and serious gaze. His lips are slightly parted in a look of dismay or sudden seriousness. The lighting is much darker and more dramatic, casting deep shadows across his face and accentuating his sharp features, suggesting he is immediately on guard or deeply offended. A subtle watermark with the text "@romantically_inclined" is visible over his right shoulder.

A three-panel horizontal comic strip titled "READ" features two simplified, finger-like, anthropomorphic characters with minimal facial features (just a horizontal line for a mouth). The background is a solid blue. Panel 1: A pink character is facing an orange character. The orange character is holding a small, open book, labeled "BOOK" on the cover, in their hands and is looking at the pink character. The pink character has a yellow speech bubble that says, "I have read that book". Panel 2: The two characters are still facing each other. The orange character has put down the book and is now holding it closed in one hand, looking expectantly at the pink character. The orange character has a light green speech bubble that asks, "what was your favourite part?". Panel 3: The characters are in the same position, both looking at each other. The pink character has a speech bubble that says, "I have absolutely no memory of what happens in it". The orange character, still holding the book, has a smaller, overlapping, light green speech bubble that says, "oh no".

A four-panel comic strip titled "Relationships." Panel 1: A woman with long brown hair, wearing an orange top and yellow trousers, is sitting on a sofa with her legs extended, resting her feet on an ottoman. She is looking toward a man with short, grey-tinged hair, wearing a blue shirt and jeans, sitting next to her on the same sofa, also with his legs extended, resting his feet on an ottoman. The man is holding a bright yellow bag of chips with red and black lettering in his lap. Both have neutral expressions. Panel 2: The woman extends her right arm out toward the man. The man is now eating a chip from the bag in his lap, looking slightly away from the woman. Panel 3: The woman and the man are now holding hands, with the woman's right hand holding the man's left hand. The man is smiling and looks happy, saying, "Aww, you want to hold hands?" Panel 4: The woman maintains her neutral expression but her eyes are directed at the chip bag. She is pulling the man's hand toward her and says, "I want the chips." The man now looks slightly surprised or annoyed. The bag of chips remains on his lap. The corner of the panel includes the text "Hedger Humor."

Here a screenshot of the mobile app home screen. There’s a tab for Wrapped at the top of the screen.
A vertical mobile phone screen displaying the main navigation interface for Spotify, in a dark mode setting. The time in the top-left corner shows "6:41." The application's header features a profile icon, followed by navigation tabs: "All" (highlighted in green), "Wrapped" (highlighted with a rounded white border), "Music," and "Podcast." Below the header, the screen is organised into a grid of rectangular cover art tiles representing playlists and saved content. The first row includes: "24/7 Mix" and "2025" (featuring album art from multiple artists, including what appears to be a black-and-white image of a man in a white collared shirt). The second row features: "Your Top Songs 2024" (with a yellow and blue design) and "Liked Songs" (with a purple gradient heart icon). The third row shows: "Dirty Computer" (featuring Janelle Monáe) and "And So It Goes - Part One" (featuring album art for Billy Joel's Storm Front). The fourth row displays: "On Repeat" (with a pink/purple infinity loop logo) and "(second) Second Dinner" (featuring what appears to be an abstract image with dark-coloured lines). A large title section follows, stating "Explore more" and "Your 2025 Wrapped" with a small '2025' logo in the margin. This section contains two prominent black-and-white tiles with hand-drawn, scribbled lines. The left tile is titled "Your Stories" with the subtitle "Revisit your Wrapped." The right tile is titled "Your Feed" with the subtitle "Get more highlights." The bottom of the screen shows a horizontal banner for "New releases for you," featuring the track "GIRL U WANT - 2009 Remaster" by DEVO, with a red cover art showing four stylised figures. The very bottom navigation bar contains icons for "Home" (highlighted), "Search," "Your Library," and "Create." The overall design is clean, with the dark background contrasting against the white text and colourful cover art, presenting a tailored user experience focused on music discovery and annual listening summaries.

Meanwhile...
Image of a four-panel comic strip by TWONKS, set against a plain green background. The comic illustrates a humorous interaction between a male and a female character about their music tastes as revealed by a 'Wrapped' year-end summary, presumably from Spotify. Panel 1: A bald, pale-skinned male character wearing a blue shirt stands facing a pale-skinned female character with light brown hair wearing a red shirt. Both are holding black smartphones. The man has a small, simple smile and is looking at the woman. The woman has a simple smile and is looking at the man. A speech bubble extends from the man: "MY SPOTIFY WRAPPED IS HERE!" Panel 2: The same two characters are shown. The man is now looking down at his phone with a slightly wider smile, while the woman is looking directly at the phone screen with a neutral expression. A speech bubble extends from the woman: "LET ME SEE". Panel 3: The same two characters are shown again. The man is holding his phone toward the woman, who is looking intently at the screen. The man's smile is gone, replaced by a neutral expression. The woman's expression is now one of faint, subtle disapproval or mild shock, with her mouth slightly downturned. Panel 4: The same two characters are shown. The man is still holding his phone but is looking at the woman with a small, concerned frown and wide eyes. The woman is looking at the man with a definite frown and a disappointed expression. A speech bubble extends from the woman: "I THINK WE SHOULD SEE OTHER PEOPLE".

Spotify thinks I'm 21. I'll take it. 🤣
A screen capture from the Spotify mobile application displaying a personalised annual music summary. The screen has a light, off-white background with abstract, minimal black line art framing the top and bottom sections. At the top centre, the small, distinct Spotify logo—a circle with three curved lines inside—is visible. The title, rendered in a large, bold, black sans-serif typeface, reads: "Your listening age." The central and most prominent feature of the screen is the large number "21" displayed in a solid, bright lime-green colour, indicating the user's computed listening age. Below the large number, a message is centred in a smaller, black sans-serif font, explaining the result: "You were into music from the early 2020s. Your taste is trending." A prominent call-to-action button, a large, rounded rectangular shape in solid black, is positioned below this text, featuring the centred white text "Share this story." The bottom border of the screen includes a bold, abstract, graphic design composed of intersecting black and white diagonal stripes and segments, reminiscent of geometric optical art. The very top of the phone screen's status bar shows the time, 7:51, along with the network and battery icons.

A close-up, square-cropped comic panel created in the classic romance comic book style, featuring two characters in an intimate embrace. The artwork uses thick black outlines and dots for shading and colouration across the faces and background. On the left is a woman with long, flowing, vibrant reddish-orange hair. Her eyes are closed, and she is leaning forward with her lips slightly parted in anticipation. She gently cups the face of the person on the right with her left hand, her index and middle fingers touching the cheek and jawline.The second person, whose hair is dark, perhaps black or deep blue, is partially obscured but is also leaning in with closed eyes.The image captures the tender, close proximity of their faces just before they make contact. Above their heads is a large, rectangular speech bubble with a jagged, white outline and a tan, textured background. The text inside the bubble is in bold, capital letters and reads: "NOT TO BRAG BUT, I'VE BEEN TOLD I'M 'VERY NICE' BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW ME THAT WELL." A faint, small, white watermark reading thisisnthappiness.com runs vertically along the right edge of the panel.

A cover for Eight Sizzling Nights by Jordan Lubov. The cover features a romantic and erotic photograph set against a dark, starry night sky above a dark tree line, suggesting a wilderness or forest setting. The title of the book, in a large, bold, red font, takes up the top center of the cover and reads "Eight Sizzling Nights." Above the title, in smaller white lettering, is the author's name, "Jordan Lubov." The central image is a shot of a man and a woman embracing. The man, on the right, is standing bare-chested, wearing only dark boxer-briefs, and has a beard and dark hair. He is holding the woman from behind, with his left hand gripping her neck, though this appears to be a gentle, suggestive gesture rather than aggressive, as his eyes are closed and his head is resting against hers. The woman, positioned slightly left and in front of the man, is wearing a black, lacy bra top and high-waisted, thigh-high black stockings with what appears to be a garter belt or high-cut briefs visible underneath. Her body is arched back, leaning into the man, with her eyes closed, suggesting deep passion or surrender. She has dark hair and a slim build. The lower portion of the cover, beneath the couple, includes the subtitle in small white capital letters: "A BDSM HANUKKAH." The overall impression is that of an adult romance novel, combining themes of intimacy, BDSM, and the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, all set under a vast, dark, night sky.

A book cover for the novel Coming Home by Carol Wyatt. The foreground is dominated by a woman with long, wavy brown hair, looking downward. She is wearing a buttoned, heavy textured coat with a tall collar and black pants. She has her hands in the coat's pockets. The setting is a snowy, rural landscape during what appears to be either sunset or sunrise, suggested by the warm, vivid hues of orange and yellow blending into dark blues and purples in the sky above the distant, snow-covered mountains. The woman is standing near a wooden fence, possibly split rail, partially buried in the snow. Her path begins in the background, where a small white farmhouse with a dark roof is visible nestled among snow-dusted evergreen trees. Snowflakes are visibly falling across the entire scene. The title, "Coming Home," is written in a flowing, script-like font in white across the top of the cover. The author's name, "CAROL WYATT," is written in a solid, capitalised white font at the bottom.

A promotional poster for the anime series Kids on the Slope, with the Japanese title Sakamichi no Aporon in large black characters above the English title. The scene is set on a slightly curving, uphill street under bright sunlight, with strong shadows cast from the left. In the immediate foreground, a light-skinned male protagonist with short, light brown hair stands looking over his right shoulder toward the viewer, positioned centrally on the street. He is wearing a dark blue Japanese school uniform jacket open over a red and white horizontally striped shirt. He is wearing a white sailor cap, which he adjusts with his right hand, and a black backpack. He appears to be pausing or turning as he walks uphill. Just behind him and slightly to the right, a dark-haired female character in a dark school uniform is also walking uphill. To the far right, a dark-haired male character with round glasses and a dark school uniform is walking uphill, holding a dark book or binder under his arm. The street is lined on the left by a high, textured stone or concrete wall that creates a deep shadow along the road. On the right, a set of steps leads up a hillside. Numerous other students in dark school uniforms are seen further down the street and on the steps, indicating a scene near a school.The bright,warm lighting and strong shadows suggest a sunny afternoon setting.

A rectangular decorative sign mounted on a wooden surface. The sign's face is light-colored, possibly white or cream, and features two lines of bold, dark text. The text on the first line is larger and reads: "BE YOU". The text on the second line, centered beneath the first, is slightly smaller and reads: "THE WORLD WILL ADJUST". The sign is framed by a simple, dark, rectangular wooden border, which shows visible grain and a slightly distressed look. This framed sign is positioned centrally against a darker, vertically-grained wooden background. The grain of the background wood runs vertically, contrasting with the horizontal orientation of the framed sign. The lighting appears somewhat diffused, creating soft shadows within the frame's edges.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
An image from the Harley Quinn television series features the characters Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy standing in an otherworldly, brightly colored forest environment. On the left is Harley Quinn, a pale-skinned woman with two blonde pigtails, each dyed at the ends—one pink, one light blue. She has wide, light blue eyes and a playful, slightly surprised expression, with her mouth open in a small smile. She is wearing a black choker and a skimpy, fitted top that is half black and half red, with a large black star prominently featured on the red half. Her midriff is exposed. She is looking slightly off-center to the right, toward Poison Ivy. On the right is Poison Ivy, a green-skinned woman with long, vibrant red hair. She is wearing a dark green, structured leather jacket over a lighter top, which features a subtle white diamond emblem on the chest. She has a gentle, warm smile and is looking toward the right edge of the frame, her right arm is slightly raised and extended. The background is a lush forest setting, highly saturated with colors. Bright green trees and foliage dominate the upper background, while various glowing, mushroom-like structures and purple and pink plants are visible around them, suggesting a fantastical, psychedelic environment. The lighting suggests a bright, perhaps early morning or late afternoon glow filtering through the trees, casting a gentle illumination on the two figures.

A quote from the book The Swing of Things by Linda Keir, displayed in black serif font on a plain white background, formatted as a kindlequote. The text reads: "if he was really honest with himself, what he lusted after most was the feeling of falling in love. His memories of the early days of marriage included sex so relentless they fell asleep in the act, then woke up hours later and started right where they left off. But that kind of sex was triggered by emotional urgency. He missed the way Jayne used to look at him. Bridget looked at him like that, and it was intoxicating. Too much so. When he flirted with the moms on the playground, it wasn't to get into their pants—though that was pleasant to imagine—but to recapture a feeling that had grown all but extinct."

A close-up vertical photograph shows a piece of paper affixed to a weathered wooden utility pole. The pole itself is dark brown and covered in cracks and natural imperfections, secured by what appears to be clear packing tape horizontally wrapped around the poster at the top and bottom. The poster features a centered image of the pole's trunk, heavily textured and studded with numerous protruding metal tacks, nails, and staples from years of previous postings. The pole in the image appears lighter in tone, possibly due to lighting or processing, and has a background of blurred blue sky and green foliage. Surrounding the central image, large black text is printed on the white paper: Above the image, the text reads: I AM THIS POLE Below the image, the text continues: I USED TO BE A PERSON BUT NOW I AM THIS POLE THIS IS MY BODY NOW DON'T HELP ME, I LIKE THIS The scene is set outdoors under bright daylight, with a blurred residential street visible in the background, including a sidewalk and the partial view of a low, light-colored building or fence on the right.

A meme about the confusing nature of English pronunciation. The top section contains text and the bottom features four panels of an increasingly confused skeleton. The text reads: "if you ever think English is not a shit language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme, but read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead." The four panels below show a white, skeletal face with glowing red eyes, which appears to be a sequence from a comic book. • Panel 1: The skeleton's face is shown in profile looking forward with an intense, aggressive expression. • Panel 2: The skeleton turns slightly to the right, raising a bony finger to its chin in a pose of contemplation or deep thought. The expression is still intense. • Panel 3: The skeleton has turned slightly further right and is now pressing the bony finger more firmly against its temple, the expression suggesting intense concentration or confusion. • Panel 4: The skeleton's face is shown looking directly at the viewer, with a look of severe frustration and confusion, pressing the fingers of its right hand hard against its forehead. Above its head, a sound effect reads: "SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SKRITCH SK." The yellow background color suggests the skeleton is thinking extremely hard, as the sound effect appears to represent the sound of intense mental strain.
