resolved japanese (?) comic about a hired killer (??)
i saw an excerpt from this reposted on social media so i have no idea if it was a manga, or a webcomic, or something even shorter-form. it was originally in what i think i remember being japanese but had an official english translation. the main character was being paid to kill people & felt guilty about it but they always had some kind of a party afterwards and stopped feeling guilty (?) but what i most remember is a panel where they said "nope nope antelope!" and there was a little (non-diegetic) cartoon of an antelope behind them. in the original language they said "nope nope snail" (which rhymed) with a drawing of a snail, & the artist redrew it for the illustration
resolved Older Actress

resolved No it not Treasure planet nor Titan A.E
Maybe Unimportant/completely wrong detail that really doesn't narrows it down: •It's an animated movie with like a game graphics •Mc a boy teen/young adult ,theres side character a gal and a engineer of sum sort of space ship •It futuretic and it got flying spaceship ,and I think the setting is where planet explode •Theres an uncle involved •It animorfic where it human build but got tails/ears and such.
Key to the answer •They get suck into a black hole partly at the end but escape using scapes of ship ckuncks. •While writing this I think the movie is a ripoff/inspired of Treasure planet so maybe after treasure planet was released
Beginning •Mc is shown to be living in lower class(they live in chunk island), he don't got no parent(for now). •Mc goes to his crew and finds out they got a new/improve spaceship and then sum happened that involve him wanting to go to upperclassmen planet.
Middle/End •Mc find parent who are actually the ruler of upperclassmen planet. •The Mc parents are in prison
resolved male artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
resolved horror short story Literature
I've read this story somewhere on the internet. It's about a family who lives in a neighborhood where everything is normal, except during the night, everybody has to be inside their house and nobody is allowed to look outside. The main character is a kid and has a little sister. One day, their newly moved neighbor kid goes to play, and invites them disobey the rules and look at what's outside during the night. Despite the main character's efforts, the neighbor kid eventually looks outside the window at night and whatever he saw left him unable to speak. His family then moved again the next day.
resolved Video Game with a puzzle involving placing toy in a logical way
I used to play this game in about 2019-2015 (though the game is probably older than that). The only thing I remember about it now is there was a logic puzzle involving placing toy so that their position matches up with the riddle. One of the toy I remember be a rocking wooden horse, another a doll. The puzzle is only a very small part of the game.
I think it has a fantasy theme. Maybe an adventure game. Not sure if it was a Harry Potter game or not. Maybe even horror though I don't think it is since I wasn't scared playing it back then.
The visual is clear, typical for a PC game of that time (2000-2010).
I don't remember if it was first person or not.

Edited by Phoishyresolved Comic about a superhero employment agency Print Comic
There was a comic from the mid-90s or earlier about a organization that recruits superheroes and then sends them out on various missions; it was published in the early 90s (or earlier), featured a Sexy Secretary / Girl Friday named Nicole, and had a tone that varied between dramatic and humorous.
Edited by Luke_The_Greatresolved That one Sesame Street segment with the void face Live Action TV
I think there was one segment from the puppet show Sesame Street that was about a puppet consisting of a pair of white eyes and mouth talking into the camera. Their face looked kind of like my OC Elias
◊, except with no green star on their forehead. Does anybody remember the name of the character and what Sesame Street segment this was from? I can't quite recall it.
resolved Visual novel where you play as a princess with a lot of ways to die Videogame
it had an anime-esque art style and the death scenes had a chibi art style. i remember there was a video on youtube of somebody playing it and the thumbnail was one of the death scenes
resolved 2 manga Anime
As the title suggest I'm looking for 2 manga.
The first one is about an mc who is given control over the worst part of a kingdom/empire and just wants to live as comfortably as possible. Since he is worried about an uprising he uses his healing magic (which I think only nobles have) on the populace and ends up being mistaken as the chosen hero who will lead the commoners and overthrow the corrupt nobles despite another character actually fitting the ideal better
The other one is an isekai. 2 kids get sent to a different world where one of them ends up with incredibly strong fire powers by imagining gas exploding instead of the normal burning wood others think off when using fire magic
resolved Scene where eggs come out of woman's mouth Live Action TV
My parents and I all have memories from a scene of a probably-sitcom where a woman suddenly starts having eggs emerging from her mouth one after another with a surprised look on her face, but we can't remember who it was or what show it was from. Does anyone know the show/episode?
resolved PC game
A puzzle adventure game with good graphic (not sure about this part, but relatively good in comparison to most game I played that time). The only part I remember is a logic puzzle where you has to put toys in a specific order. Some of the toys are a doll, a stuffed animal, and maybe a robot and a rocking horse too.
resolved Several games
There are some mysterious games that I once played but I forgot the name. I can make many posts, but decided to make it one post only.
1. A horror escape adventure web game. A distinct feature is that you must take photo of paranormal activities that happen in the game (for example, cup and chairs that move by itself, mysterious bloody words on wall...). On the final part there is a candle lighting scene.
2. An old PC game that I played long ago. It was about a toy factory where you make toy. There are many different type of toys that are unlocked as you progress through the game, each of which has a different recipe/material needed.
3. A PC puzzle game, probably a classic one. This one I remember has a Chinese/Asian theme. One level has a Gong/Bell thing and the other level has a water measuring puzzle.
4. Another PC game. This one is a Mon series, but instead of Pokemon, they are all robots. It is real robots, not Digimon or Yokai Watch or Monster Rancher. Unlike Pokemon, the robot can't evolve (or maybe it can but I haven't find out how)
6. A puzzle adventure game with good graphic (not sure about this part, but relatively good in comparison to most game I played that time). The only part I remember is a logic puzzle where you has to put toys in a specific order. Some of the toys are a doll, a stuffed animal, and maybe a robot and a rocking horse too.
Edited by LucasdaKoolresolved death game comedy Anime
I'm looking for a comedic death game manga that features female lead (possibly with a butterfly motive) that hosts death games only for the same person a kid from a rich family to end involved with and win the game without anyone dying. One time he wins a game where the players have to pick a leader by promising to pay all the other contestants if they vote for him
resolved Single-word title Videogame
There was this semi-recent game that I'm trying to see again because I've all but forgotten about it, and the title completely eludes me.
The title of the game was some synonym for the word "hurting" or "suffering", I'm pretty sure it was a verb or noun of some sort that refers to pain and agony. You're in a world of fleshy suffering mutants and you control one of them, I think yours was a pair of heads with arms and nothing else. The game is a 2D platformer so you need to overcome various terrain and puzzles. One of the things you can encounter early on is a big "mole-like" mutant that charges at you, and you have to back off or it kills you. The first "boss" is a singing one that's also suffering, but you help them by destroying nearby pustules; once they're all gone, they smile in gratitude and open a path in the bottom allowing the player to progress. I think there was also a section involving rats.
resolved Picture Book About Coyote and the Moon Literature
It was a picture book about an Indigenous tale from the American Southwest, where the Moon became sad that, while the Sun got to rule over many beautiful creatures of the day, she only had ugly creatures— except for Coyote. Because he was her favorite, she gave him multiple gifts, including the ability to sing and a shining silver coat like her. However, because he glowed in the dark, he was no longer able to hunt food, and had to give his gifts back. The moon took all her gifts except for his ability to sing, and she appreciated Coyote as he was.
resolved Animated film about surealness Film
I'm looking for the title of an old animated movie from the 80's-90's. It's possibly European, maybe French. I remember most of it, but I missed the middle part.
The story is set in the far future in a kingdom with highly advanced technology like flying cars. The lead character is a brilliant, but lonely scientist with glasses. His research in the abstract has revolutionized the kingdom. He loves the princess, but she has no interest in him.
One night, he works on his computer and research the inner workings of love. Without warning, he is pulled into a surreal world where the abstract is absolute. Its leader says that the scientist is their worse enemy. Creatures in the surreal world flourish thanks to the abstract and the illogical. The scientist's discoveries has cause the creatures to fade and die. The scientist scoff at all this.
However, later in the story, he is horrified that his research in the abstract will eventually cause WWIII. He returns to the surreal world where he makes deal with the leader: he will destroy his research and in return, the leader will make the princess fall in love with him.
The scientist borrows a laser rifle from a guard and enters a chamber with a super computer. He destroys it and everything in it. He returns the rifle to the guard and have him swear to never reveal what he did to the king. The ending shows that the surreal creatures now coexist with the real world where everything is wacky, funny and completely defies any logic and physics. The scientist is now married with the princess.
Anyone knows the title? Please let me know! Thank you.

I remember watching this episode of a Final Fantasy Series, where one character somehow got turned into a frog and needed a kiss to turn back to normal and warn the others of the ship. He managed to turn back to normal after narrowly avoiding getting eaten by a lady who wanted to eat him as a frog.
