Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally.

Also finally found one of the scanned copies from the photoshoot my mother had me do when I was 21 [while I was homeless!] so here's what I looked like for about an hour half my life ago.
21 year old Frac leaning on her hand looking at the camera. Hiding my freckles & making my hair look this well-behaved was a herculean effort unlikely to ever be repeated even with the aid of paid professionals.

What it's like online today.
A screenshot from Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion looking west from Skingrad Castle bridge past the chapel and the high city walls over the forested hills to Kvatch as the light begins to shift toward sunset. There is no way to tell what horrors will come with the night.

This is where I post from.
A screenshot of the Shrine of Sithis in the Vile Lair DLC of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. Humanoid forms reach from the very walls as if living stone. Not victims but supplicants calling for His eternal mercy. His form embracing all of existence which shall return to Him always.

Rule 34? No. Rule 3.
A screenshot of an open book in Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion. 3. "Fusozay Var Var": "Enjoy Life" Life is short. If you have not made love recently, please, put down this book, and take care of that with all haste. Find a wanton lass or frisky lad, or several, in whatever combination your wise loins direct, and do not under any circumstances play hard to get. Our struggle against the colossal forces of oppression can wait. Good. Welcome back. We Renrijra Krin live and fight together, and know that Leyawiin and the Empire will not give way very soon, likely not in our lifetimes. In the time we have, we do not want our closest comrades to be dour, dull, colorless, sober, and virginal. If we did, we would have joined the Emperor's Blades. Do not begrudge us our lewd jokes, our bawdy, drunken nights, our moon sugar. They are the pleasures that Leyawiin denies us, and so we take our good humour very seriously.

Went looking for an image for the this is where I post from thing & stumbled on this pic of me. Godsdamn do I wish I was posting from 2009.
Frac on a dancefloor, caught in the process of moving her damn hair out of her damn face by the resident photographer of a no longer extant cellar bar.

The Declaration Of Principles Of The Interstellar Alliance: The universe speaks in many languages but only one voice. The language is not Narn or Human or Centauri or Gaim or Minbari It speaks in the language of hope It speaks in the language of trust It speaks in the language of strength and the language of compassion It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul But always it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors speaking through us And the voice of our inheritors waiting to be born. It is the small still voice that says We are one. No matter the blood, No matter the skin, No matter the world, No matter the star: We are one. No matter the pain, No matter the darkness, No matter the loss, No matter the fear: We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause, we agree to recognize this singular truth and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another. Because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.

I feel the same about this pic of me taken by my dad. I am 8 years old & just a couple of months in to being allowed to grow my hair for the first time [mum kept it "boy short" so she didn't have to care for it]. I also didn't grow into my forehead but I *will not* have bangs again.
8 year-old Frac on a miniature railway leaning happily on the edge of the car to watch the world go by, wearing a mint and white anorak with a rain-cloud and umbrella pattern, her hair an unruly mess of baby waves.

Sorry, Space Marine 2, there's only one oversized relic of unending war I love. [made, painted & photographed by Damascus Crowe]
Atlas, a sub-marine mining unit based on a Warhammer 40k Imperial Knight kit. A hulking bipedal walker with a beetle-like carapace. He wields a massive two-handed drill, longer than he is tall. His bright yellow armour evokes construction machinery and his bronze skeleton is reminiscent of a Victorian deep sea diving suit. His head is a spherical diving helm lit from within by a baleful red glow. Centuries of toil have left him worn and weathered. Atlas photographed from a lower angle to better appreciate his enormous bulk and the sheer size of the drill he holds in his massive yellow hands. The remains of some red wreckage, iron beams many times taller than a man, crumple like paper straws under his immense four-toed right foot on the soft golden silt of the sea bed. Atlas photographed from behind to show off his unarmoured skeleton at the rear with its complicated array of bronze steampunk ball-joints and pistons. The hydraulics that propel his legs are like those from an enormous bulldozer. Prominent on the back just at the base of his yellow carapace is the enormous cylindrical air tank for his pilot. A close up of Atlas's face showing the many rivets and indicator lights of his helmet. Once finely painted white scrollwork on his yellow breastplate shows his name just below his face. A shield-shaped panel to the left of his face shows his site unit number 83. The red and white striped domes of his running lights are visible on top of each shoulder. The heavily worn rungs of his pilot's access ladder on the right shoulder and the large dogged hatch to his pressurized chamber in the top centre of his yellow carapace are shown in more detail along with a worn Imperial insignia on the cowling above his head.

This is a prime number made up of chaos & death primes. Perfectly me.
I would've been here about a million people sooner thanks to an invite from @johnnyrimes.bsky.social but none of my screen-names fit in the character limit. @docgarby.bsky.social is responsible for the one I went with in the end.

Here you go, just for you! He looks basically the same now except his beard is bigger & his hair even longer & the tiny spray of silver that is barely visible in the pic has spread like filigree in ebony.
My chap, a tall, round, rosy-cheeked man with long curling almost black tresses, beard & moustache, as he looked the first year we met. A quick candid pic from our first xmas where he performed his Crusader Knight for his young cousin. A top third portrait shot of him in his St George tabard over a normal short-sleeved pin-stripe shirt because his proper undershirt didn't dry in time. He smiles enigmatically, looking beatifically into the distance as his Aunt Sheila holds a plastic golden platter behind him like a halo, his hands resting on his sword just out of shot.

I hate to break it to you, my lovelies, but the bear seems to prefer a different woods.

Wait, there's more.
Pam Ferris as Laura Thyme and Felicity Kendall as Rosemary Boxer in Rosemary & Thyme, working a garden with large hand tools in matching lavender outfits while they smile to camera. Annette Badland as Fleur Perkins the pathologist in Midsomer Murders, holding a pitchfork and flirtily daring the viewer to test her patience. Amanda Burton as Sam Ryan returning for the 25th anniversary episode of Silent Witness. Helen Mirren as Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect with whisky glass in hand and high-heeled feet up on her desk Helen Mirren-ing as hard as ever.

Are we really having this conversation again?! The purpose of post-menopausal women is to solve crime, mostly that committed in rural settings, though there are exceptions.
Patricia Routledge as Hetty Wainthropp stood back to back, holding notebooks as if writing in them while looking to camera, with her sidekick Geoffrey played by a young Dominic Monaghan. Angela Lansbury as Jessica "J.B." Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote, looking coquettishly at the camera over her glasses from an overstuffed chair. Joan Hickson as my favourite Miss Marple staring out at the viewer like someone you believe can outthink Holmes. Brenda Blethyn as Vera. She can't be having with this.

My chap: Hey, I found a picture of you on the internet.
The picture of me on the internet:
A close up of part of the scene depicted on a Greek vase where two mostly naked men stand one playing music in front of the other who is dancing with his hands outstretched towards the other's bare arse. It is titled Me appreciating my significant other's butt.

Success! It was the Chelsea Arts Club Ball of 1919! There are several sketches from the period & some photographs of individual costumes. Camoupedia has an entry for it if anyone's interested.
A stylised cartoon of people dancing in black and white dazzle inspired costumes where the artist [uncredited] has left out the line detail on their clothes so only the disjointed shapes are seen. "Dazzle at the Chelsea Arts: I hear the most inviting accounts of the Chelsea Arts Club Ball. It is evidently to be a great 'flickograph' night, with our vision mocked and tantalised by 'dazzles' of lights and of costumes." - Daily Paper

I was the same after first seeing Man Riding Fish in person.
A close-up of a small detail on one of the panels that make up the Gundestrup Cauldron officially identified as Man Riding Fish. It is a side profile of a man riding a giant fish. It is impossible to discern how either feels about this.
