My muse wears bunny ears. I saw A New Hope in '77 so I'm old enough.

A young white boy holding an open bird identification book. On the edge of one page is perched a small black, white, and brown bird. The page shows an image of the same kind of bird.

If you see this, post a knight.
A blond white man in a marshy landscape. He has decisive eyebrows and a vaguely cherubic face. He’s wearing a reddish tunic with golden accents and an elaborate golden cross on the front.

My screen did the thing again.
A screenshot of part of the thread above, showing the initial post without the quote and ending with Offwhitewarden and Kingfisher & Wombat’s comments.

Zombie bodyguards?
A wrinkled green plastic package with cream-colored printing that seems to read “extra–large protective undeads”.

Oooh, Bramblefoot would like to compete.
An orange and white cat sleeping in a rather disorganized fashion on the dark blue surface. Pause everywhere, and tail sticking up.

Comfy.
A plumpish calico cat stretched out asleep on a light blue fleece pad. She appears to be napping on the center console of a car. A gray-clothed human leg is serving as her backrest.

A rather plump orange and white cat sitting on a dirty windowsill that is covered with chicken wire. She is looking somewhat dubious. Next to her is a clear wine bottle filled with little blue lights.

By John M. Ford
All over the redeemed City they are working joy-blind, Shaping pots, baking bread, sewing fabrics and wounds, Making with their hands the ultimate prayer Of those who endure in the hope of the truth of the world: Please, you gods and fellow mortals, Let us do it right, Let us do it right, this time.

This is the first Lego set I have completed on my own since the early ‘80s. I’m very proud of myself. 😆
The Lego fireworks set, completed, against a shiny silver background. Two Lego firework explosions, a small stand holding rockets and a star wand, and two figures; a girl with a star wand and a boy with a camera.

Two Lumps (twolumps.net/comic/200404...)
Hand-drawn comic, panel 1: two grey cats looking out a window at a bird on a tree branch outside. Ebenezer: Snooch, are you stuck on repeat play or something? Snooch: Bird. Bird. Bird. Bird. Bird. Bird. Bird. Bird. Ebenezer: Yes, it's a bird. They're everywhere out there. Panel 2: Outside view of the window. Snooch, eyes huge, looks up at the bird while Ebenezer glares at him. Bird: Maybe you should smack him a little. Snooch: Bird. Bird. Ebenezer: I do. It doesn't help. Snooch: Bird.Bird.Bird.Bird.BirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBirdBird Ebenezer: Snooch, what would you even DO with a bird if you caught it? Panel 3: Snooch thinks and the bird preens. Panel 4: The bird looks up. Snooch: I would lick it for hours. Ebenezer, off panel: That's revolting. @2004 James L. Grant in lower corner. Alt text largely taken from OhNoRobot.com transcription.

An image in the classic British “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster style, light text on a red background. It reads “FORGET CALM JUST RUN SCREAMING”.

If you see this (and are so inclined), post a cat.

This is Bramblefoot, who refused the indoor life but does enjoy a good ear rub.
An orange and white cat with impressive whiskers sitting in front of a Honda steering wheel and having her ears scratched. Her eyes are closed and there is a look of bliss on her face.

Please admire my new dragon from CADventures3d on Etsy.
A rainbow-colored, 3-D printed, spiky dragon, sitting on a light-colored surface. It is iridescent, wingless, and snaky. The same dragon, sitting in the bottom half of a matching hollow egg,. It is leaning over the edge to rest its paw and chin on the top half of the egg, which is sitting next to the bottom.

A brown tabby cat with a dark-ringed tail sitting on asphalt and sharing an opinion, mouth open. He has green eyes and impressive whiskers. The same cat seen from above, in the act of standing up. He is about to rub against the leg next to him.

A church steeple against a very blue sky. There is scaffolding wrapped around it and treetops and rooftops below.

Yep.
A small black and white tuxedo cat with green eyes and luxurious whiskers lying on a black mouse pad. She is looking up at the camera sideways. The cat and mouse pad are on a battered wooden desk, with a keyboard and monitor in view; there are stacks of books in the background.

"You‘ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?"

Odds are I'll be just fine! The Rocinante has Enterprise-level plot armor.
A promo photo for the show "The Expanse". Four women and four men clustered in a group against a background of stars and spaceships. One of the men is holding a very large gun.

A fluffy orange cat sitting on his backside like a human, hind feet sticking up and front paws wrapped around the hand of the person he's sitting on. She is holding an ice cream bar and the cat is licking it, eyes closed in bliss.

The cover of Lois McMaster Bujold's "The Curse of Chalion". A painting of a medieval-style castle with several towers, with a cloudy sky overhead; the picture is mostly amber in color, with a blue line on the right side.

The Michael Whelan cover of Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonflight". An enormous gold dragon with a blue eye, sharp teeth, ridges down its back, and six limbs, with a dark-haired white woman riding on its shoulders with her arm upraised. The background is green, with barren mountains, and a gold and orange planet in the sky.
