An edit of the "January 1984" meme/newspaper cartoon. A woman sits at a table reading from her phone, with a speech bubble that contains an image showing the text "Ancient Egypt Out Now" over an image of pyramids. The man in the foreground tears off a calendar page that says "December 2020", revealing the one underneath to say "Ca. 3150 BC".

Actually, a literal coat of arms would be quite fashion. Very couture. Very vogue.

If you hurt someone by hitting them with a non-networked object (e.g., a rock), this is a major felony – not for the violence, but because due to a series of obscure legal precedents, using an object with no linked weapon subscription to cause measurable harm counts as circumventing copy protection.

absolutely not saying novels need images on every page - (some novels might benefit from having a page of just art, but not all!) but you need to use the page itself as a tool, not just write words and paragraphs that could arbitrarily go on any page beyond, like, chapter breaks.

RPG party who are all going to explode soon for unrelated reasons. One has a nuclear reactor for a heart. One has been exposed to the Slow Acting Poison That Makes You Explode. One is wearing a bomb collar. For the last one it's just their species' natural life cycle and exploding is how they fuck.
