Happy Thursday lovely people, here are some tantalizing spoilers without context for tomorrow’s episode!
An image of a cartoon louse but it has the head of Tom Cruise Alison Bechdel’s comic strip outline the rules of the Bechdel test but it has been edited so it’s about people not talking about planes. A playbill for the concept “Hamlet: The Musical.” It features a zoomed in illustration of a skull and a gold font. It has the classic Broadway playbill image at the top. An image of the Minoan Dolphin Fresco at Knossos but there’s a large red circle with a line through it imposed on top, symbolizing “no” or “not allowed” to the dolphin fresco. The fresco dates between 1700-1400 BC and depicts blue and white dolphins swimming between blue, yellow and orange fish on a cream colored background.

Ficlets, we're kicking off 2025 as usual with Brenna's birthday episode! And it's coming out early! Join us tomorrow evening (PST) for some great discussions on the following:
Seamless edit of Arthur Pendragon's face positioned atop the body of Harrowhark Nonagesimus on the cover of Harrow the Ninth. The word "Harrow" in the title has been plastered over by the word "Arthur", and the book cover now reads Arthur the Ninth. Screencap of a tweet by @ghostwurld AKA "soapy" from August 2020 that reads: i literally get embarrassed doing anything. i wear sunglasses when it's sunny and i'm like this is so humiliating. Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg posing in a promotional photo for Dimoldenberg's "Chicken Shop Dates" series. He is gazing at her adoringly while she smizes at the camera and delicately bites a chicken wing. They're both in stylish outfits sitting across from each other at a chicken shop table. Edit of Peter Burke from white collar atop a video game screencap. The screencap is black with white text. The text reads It's dangerous to go alone! Take this. Beneath the text are two pixelated flames and an old wizard in robes. The implication is that it's dangerous to go alone so you should take Peter Burke from White Collar with you.
