Overview

Nice bundle of images. I'll try to update this post as long as I get ideas of each image you posted! 14

How about this... What if I tell you that its in fact a sci-fi picture? Or rather... A lil weird sci-fi themed idea came to my mind! Long green fingers were flipping through pages of a primitive paper book while the universal translator device scanned the printed writings on them. Researcher Katarau of the Oktanti Xeno-Exploration Institute spent several hours on scanning and cataloguing books that her crew found in that ruined building that seemingly served as a book storage. Or possibly a library? Nah, too disorganized... Unless “they” had different sorting and storage methods than the Oktanti, which is possible. According to the dates at the first page, this one was printed around the last century before the Extinction. A catastrophic planet-wide nuclear self-annihilation of a whole species who called themselves Homo Sapiens, Humans of Planet Earth. What happened? Oh, that is already known for sure from other sources. Males of this species rebelled, started an uprising to overthrow the dominating rulers - females of this species. Many last writings of these “rebels” were found in shape of unsent dead-man’s letters, manifestos and simply notes to each other. They claimed to be sick and tired of being pushed around, controlled and humiliated for being... Well, men. All their writings share the same idea - “the dark ages of misandry should come to an end”. Looks like that didn’t end well for anybody, considering how most of the planet is now a radioactive wasteland. And not a single Human around to tell the tale about it. Katarau stopped the book scanning process all of a sudden as her big red eyes saw that one of the pages did not have text in it, but a picture instead. This pulled the researcher out of her deep thinking and got her curious. With the help of her friendly AI and the ever-expanding database (she’s not the only researcher who does this!), Katarau managed to actually learn a bit more about the book she held in her hands. One of many examples of “rewritten fiction” - plenty of those from around the same years this book was published. This one in particular... Book of fairytales. A “new age” version of a human classic... “The sleeping beauty”. A reversed and highly altered version of the original. It’s the man who is locked in a magical eternal sleep. And it’s a strong, heroic woman who comes and saves him from it. Only to “adopt” him i to her harem of men, one among many under her heel and on a leash. And it’s not the only piece of fiction that was entirely flipped around during those years... Good thing the Oktanti researchers managed to find a barely intact primitive data storage with some human male’s work of comparing and preserving the originals - like if he predicted such devastating events and hoped for someone to actually learn the truth behind the disaster. Not to repeat the same mistakes. Not to give any one gender too much power over the other to a point of slavery, humiliation and abuse. I surely hope that it wont come to this in our real world, even though... there is a certain super-strong feministic trend in the last few years...

You know... The type of artworks that are often weird, sometimes trippy, usually quite silly, but... always colorful, "warm" and make my imagination go wild. Plus they bring memories and nostalgia about the action movies in the 90s. Like Judge Dredd, Demolition Man, Alien and many others like that. Those were the days when people knew how to just have fun in the movies, you know? And not only. Lots of sci-fi books that I've read too, mostly by Russian writers. And the old stuff, not what they are writing now, full of politics and other nonsense - same as any media content (movies, tv-shows, games, books) from the "West" as well. Anyway... I'll post several pictures here and will mark them with numbers. Tell me a story? I may write something myself too later on... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

Fairly simple idea that springs to mind: A mother who had a son who went to war. Unfortunately, he did not make it through and was deadly injured in battle. His body was afterwards brought home and according to tradition, his corpse was sent out to sea, to the afterlife.

Today, I come with this art from Rebecca Guay, artist that haves a lot of works, some of them to the Wizards of the Coast, that makes Magic The Gathering cards. This one is from a card called Path to Exile. But that's not what it really matters, what matters is: What story do your imagination think when you see that portrait?

Nice story @Typical Blue Haired Dude, I really liked what I read ^^

Hey, who let the cat out of the bag? Now my ideas are gonna seem like garbage compared to hers! I might take a slightly different approach behind this. Perhaps the furious crowd consists of the elf woman's subjugates and are revolting because of some controversy she may have caused. Perhaps she took in refugees that escaped from an enemy kingdom, suspecting that they were spies taking advantage of her compassionate and somewhat naïve nature. Perhaps there was some slaughter or massacre, either within the kingdom or in the battlefield, due to her misguidance or terrible judgement calls. Maybe it was unpreventable and the crowd is looking for a scapegoat in order to find some explanation to the madness of it all. Regardless of reason or intention, the matter of the fact is that the people have turned on their own ruler. Although it isn't a full-on revolution, the anger of the civilians itself is enough to stir trouble, and there the ambitious few that try to add fuel to the fire in order to set up for a coup. Even with the onslaught of food against the queen, she orders her knights to stand by and refuses to let them fight back despite their direct assaults at the queen. The last thing she needs is for her own kingdom to fall apart through bloodshed. Her trusted personal guard shields her from the onslaught without hesitation, and she intimately leans into him for protection. All the other knights raise their shields and hold their weapons by their side, ready to defend themselves and fight if they need to. But until then, they allow their queen to walk down the pathways of the market in shame, as per her request, as the mob tries to pelt her with whatever they could find, including their own venomous words. But nothing fazes her, because she loves her kingdom and the people that make up said kingdom. As someone with a pure heart as hers, she cannot bring herself to even grow angry at them. She willingly risks her own safety for their sake, and will continue to serve the people until she is no longer needed or until she is no longer able to. Or the crowd is attacking the armored warrior for white knighting the e-girl and they're ridiculing him for being a simp. I know my idea is more straightforward (and probably more boring too) but there's still a conveying story that can come out of this perspective.

Nice one @ThatLewdCat, I would never be able to think in something like that!

The reason why I joined this club was rather dumb... I kinda realized that at this point, I'm having much more fun coming up with ideas (characters, worlds, scenes, stories, etc) than actually playing them. So... I'm thinking this: This is a Human kingdom who see themselves as "superior" to other races. Superior cities, superior level of life for every citizen, superior technology levels and as a result - superior weaponry and armor. No shorty gnomes, no barbaric orcs, not even the "softie, magic-loving" elves are a match for Humans, with a capital "H". This superiority is at the core of every Human in the kingdom that spans across most of the continent now, thanks to their successful militaristic expansion over the last few years. Minor tribal species eradicated, larger barbarians forced to submit... Even races that had at least some power on their hands could not stand a chance in the end. The latest victory was over the elven kind. After the majority of their lands was taken over, the Human forces surrounded the capital and forced the knife-eared king to submit. As an attempt to soften the pain of surrender and somehow sweeten the deal of having to live under "new management" from the Humans, the elven king offered one of his daughters (the one you see on the picture - she clearly has long ears) as a wife to the Human Prince. So naturally, she was brought to the capital and led through the main plaza in front of the royal palace, along with many other spoils of war - chests full of gold, some elven pieces of art, elven magical artifacts, etc. To put up a show in front of the loyal Human citizens - another victory, another submitted lesser species. The crowd isn't yet aware that this beautiful elven woman (despite their "inferiority" to Humans, elven women are still considered beautiful) will become the future wife of the Prince - it's not like this are modern days, with internet and everyone knowing everything instantly, yes? In their ecstatic state because of yet another victory, they start throwing rotten tomatoes and other things at a "foe" who was just forced into submission. Perhaps some think she's a representative or diplomat who is here to negotiate or something, so they show her what Humans think of them "long-eared freaks". But the royal guard is quite aware of the future fate of this elven woman, so naturally he has to protect her from the crowd. But hey, it's his job, you know? He may not like it, he might as well had been slaughtering many elf warriors just days ago and has no respect for his "enemy"... But he now protects this elf woman from the wrath of the crowd. Because it's his head that'll go off the shoulders if anything happens to her before she's delivered in front of the King and the Prince. I... think I went a little bit too far in some places, but meh. It is what it is.

Hello, fellow members, here is a image that I want to know which story do you think it haves within. This image is used as a meme for many things, but I have a certain love for it, the knight protecting his princess, what do you think it's happening? Why are their throwing rotten tomatoes at them? Why the knight is protecting her? Tell me your thoughts! I'm waiting for your thoughts!
