A screenshot of interview text, an exchange between an interviewer (O) and Pratchett (P). O asks why he writes fantasy, calling it a ghettoized genre. Pratchett answers that fantasy is the ur-literature, from Gilgamesh to Beowulf, ends by saying "That was a bloody good answer, though I say it myself." Six Lord of the Rings screenshots of Gimli and Legolas on a boat, captioned in turn: "I have taken my worst wound at this parting, having looked my last upon that which is fairest." "Haugh, henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift to me." Legolas: "What was it?" "I asked her for one hair from her golden head." "She gave me three." Legolas smiles. Below is a long text post explaining the Silmarils,… Hand-lettered header: "9 CONVERSATIONAL TRICKS TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE COOL AND ELROND". A long-haired figure in a brown elven robe and cloak stands beside a two-column chart. Columns: "INSTEAD OF SAYING THIS" and "SAY THIS COOL THING".

A huge, faint, tentacled winged creature resembling Cthulhu is drawn in the sky above the hills, with the sun glowing beneath it. A few cars travel the road. A watermark in the corner reads "Andrey Nazarov". Three-panel hand-drawn comic with red frames on gray. Panel 1: a head with a tangled red scribble above a frowning face, next to a smiling friend. Caption: "problem big!" Panel 2: the scribble becomes a small bubble drifting to the friend. Caption: "tell friend problem" Panel 3: the friend listens with an open mouth and the other head smiles. Caption: "problem has to get small to fit in ear, feel better"
