For an image subreddit with fewer restrictions, check out /r/misc!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

Here's my attempt at at photoshop pure B&W extraction.

[–]LolerCoaster 10 points11 points ago

I love the fact that she's blushing, really lends emotional gravitas to the Glasgow-Edinburgh area.

[–]CatAstrophy11 5 points6 points ago

Gravitas

[–]Carnivorism 130 points131 points ago

between 4 and 5

[–]Poobslag 32 points33 points ago

This looks like a series of artists all contributing to the same idea, with someone crudely pointing out "This could be a hat" and then someone else quickly inking out the shapes, and finally someone else doing a full-out detailed sketch

Just wanted to clarify for anybody who thought it was a step-by-step instruction or something...

[–]Jiggit 22 points23 points ago

I remember seeing this a couple years back and I think it came from a 2chan thread where some guy said "Does the UK look kind of like a girl modest about the size of her breasts?" and a load of posters tried making it out until some badass came along and made that last one.

[–]zling 2 points3 points ago

i saw a thread on 4chan a few years ago with these and more like it. they also said that that was the origin.

[–]ShredDurst 72 points73 points ago

Baka Ireland! It's.... it's not l-l-like I like you or anything!

[–]SpringInJapan 15 points16 points ago

Ireland is mai waifu.

[–]DivinePotatoe 3 points4 points ago

So is like, Canada the imouto or is that Australia?

[–]spankratchet 8 points9 points ago

Hmm, I can put a hat here, and a skirt there and... Northern Ireland? WTF?

[–]ILikeFluffyThings 2 points3 points ago

4, Northern Ireland is just being a dick.

[–]BCP27 -2 points-1 points ago

WHEN DID THIS SPREAD TO REDDIT!?

I expect it on 4chan, but here?

[–]CoyoteStark -1 points0 points ago

Stop being tsundere Ireland-chan.

[–]SophieH 20 points21 points ago

I figured "you drew my country, so I'll draw yours!" but it turns out this is A LOT harder than it looks O__O http://i.imgur.com/iGOvE.jpg

[–]themysteriousx 2 points3 points ago

I'm not sure which is more terrifying, the wizard or the amount of neck that person must have!

[–]catagris 16 points17 points ago

Here is the complete thread. HERE

[–]HigherFive 0 points1 point ago

I fucking love imageboards.

[–]trackofalljades 28 points29 points ago

Brace yourselves...

...the Hetalia fans are coming. ;)

[–]Keiokochan 10 points11 points ago

I'm genuinely amazed they haven't arrived yet.

[–]trackofalljades 2 points3 points ago

I'm sure someone industrious could remedy that in a hot second, there have to be forums someplace where they hang out right? ;)

[–]generationH 1 point2 points ago

We're ashamed of being Hetalia fans.

[–]Keiokochan 3 points4 points ago

Hey, it's an entertaining show, and can be pretty funny. Shipping countries does kinda weird me out, though.

[–]Turious 8 points9 points ago

Another fandom/community that exists almost solely to ship the characters.

[–]trackofalljades 4 points5 points ago

...and cosplay, don't forget cosplay. Personally, I can't wait to see the inevitable crossover of Hetalia cosplay and Gangnam Style at the cons next year. :P

[–]Turious 1 point2 points ago

That is an excellent point. I love some of the cosplay that comes out of that community.

But I find it weird that despite it's huge fan base, I know next to nothing about the series. Just that there are countries and they like each other sometimes and don't like each other other times.

Ninja edit: And by like, I mean make out.

[–]generationH 3 points4 points ago

I like the shipping. It's rest of the fandom I don't like, that and genderswaps.

[–]DrAEnigmatic 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, personification of countries and shipping them is okay. But genderswaps are going too far. (/sarcasm)

[–]generationH 0 points1 point ago

I never said my opinion made sense

[–]Dumwheel 10 points11 points ago

For anyone curious about the Japanese in the first picture, it says, from top-right to bottom-left: Hat (boushi), face (kao), chest (mune), hand (te), arm (ude), skirt (skaato). I can't figure out what the first character is in the second picture, but the rest means "to be seen" (mieru) Edit: fixed the typo; thanks, Shin-LaC

[–]Shin-LaC 4 points5 points ago

Arm is ude. The second picture says こう見える (it looks like this).

[–]ChollaIsNotDildo 25 points26 points ago

They put Manchester in the right place.

[–]re_dditt_er 6 points7 points ago

"Hmm, Manchester: the crotch of the UK?"

[next draft]

"Hmm, no... not a good idea...."

[–]jethro_troll 1 point2 points ago

Tap that Manchester.....amiright?

[–]Sunny_McJoyride 1 point2 points ago

Not really, Manchester is where Leeds should be, which makes no-one happy.

[–]CharlieDancey 2 points3 points ago

I came here to say something like that.

[–]StoneDeaf 33 points34 points ago

Please don't do the nordic countries!

[–]theowest 7 points8 points ago

You forgot Norway.

[–]Bumtown 14 points15 points ago

Norway is not a part of the EU (and uses it's own currency), so it's not on the Euro.

[–]the2ndflyingfoetus 10 points11 points ago

Having its own currency isn't a factor- 12 of the 27 member states of the EU have their own currency and are on the Euro coin. It's simply EU membership.

[–]Bumtown 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, i was unsure if that was relevant or not, but I added it as an afterthought.

[–]ed1989 2 points3 points ago

Actually it is. Look at any recent € coin and you will see that they do have Norway and the rest of Europe, even the parts that are not in the EU.

proof

[–]Bumtown 3 points4 points ago

I wonder if that call was made to avoid having a geo-dong on the coin.

[–]theowest 0 points1 point ago

I know, but it's still a Nordic country.

[–]Pootytang001 3 points4 points ago

Forget Norway!

[–]aengelpxl 2 points3 points ago

Kenya!

[–]Platypuskeeper 9 points10 points ago

Here's Finland.

[–]comadorcrack 8 points9 points ago

I wanna bang Finland now

[–]HirviMoose 1 point2 points ago

Here's even more Finland. Gotta love that "special award" winner.

[–]StoneDeaf -1 points0 points ago

Now I love Suomi even more! I have to show this to my finish drinking friends!

Now do Ruotsi!

[–]ExtraterrestrialDuck 2 points3 points ago

Us Northern-ers are dicks on a national scale!

[–]Rohan21166 0 points1 point ago

Nordic.

[–]scottyr16 11 points12 points ago

Manchester's dot should be Leeds

[–]The_Deacon 17 points18 points ago

I made this just for you: Animated gif illustrating your point

[–]scottyr16 0 points1 point ago

Wow thanks, i feel most privileged!

[–]SG_Dave 1 point2 points ago

Thank you, I also thought Manchester was a little too East in the pic, but couldn't work out what it has replaced. I was thinking Sheffield at first.

[–]scottyr16 0 points1 point ago

Yeah i was thinking of Bradford too. All pretty close.

[–]KrazyEyezKilla 2 points3 points ago

Nobody wants to go to Leeds, it's the dark side.

Manchester is full of beautiful people.

[–]scottyr16 0 points1 point ago

Ha, i lived in Leeds for a good 7 years, enjoyed it for the most part. I did go to a couple of Leeds Utd matches and boy were there some interesting people.

[–]Jucoy 4 points5 points ago

[–]matthewtheninja 5 points6 points ago

Man, number five is just gorgeous. I love anime style.

[–]kmauig 3 points4 points ago

Manchester, the UK's vagina

[–]spankratchet 5 points6 points ago

Of all the places to name on the south coast, why choose Bournemouth?

[–]Jaccington 10 points11 points ago

Hey fuck you. We never get to be on maps.

[–]Vivalayeo 0 points1 point ago

I guess Belfast isn't worth mentioning?

[–]deltarob 3 points4 points ago

If you look at it like my dad showed me it's santa riding a pig

[–]Bobius 2 points3 points ago

Woo, I'm some hair curls.

[–]cionn 4 points5 points ago

Whats northern Ireland supposed to be?

[–]schampanes 14 points15 points ago

uuh... a bouquet, maybe? why, what does it look like to you?

[–]cionn 5 points6 points ago

a very pimpley Ulster

[–]ILikeFluffyThings 1 point2 points ago

Look closely at the fourth pic.

[–]Sajerman -1 points0 points ago

Northern Ireland has always been out of place and awkward.

[–]EJ88 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah just give it back, give it back now.

[–]schwepski 0 points1 point ago

Fart cloud?

[–]lyrelad93 1 point2 points ago

Northern Ireland being as awkward as ever

[–]wmossom 0 points1 point ago

Its a cool idea but what's going on with Cumbria?

[–]Bumgill 0 points1 point ago

Makes more sense than most things that have been transformed into anime characters.

[–]willyolio 0 points1 point ago

so that's what a young brittania looks like.

[–]ArgonGryphon 1 point2 points ago

I don't wanna see the US...

[–]jsstaedtler 1 point2 points ago

Why, Florida? Why?

[–]JiangWei23 1 point2 points ago

Wait, so she's at a wedding and tried catching the bouquet, missed, wrapping her arms around herself in the process as the bouquet flies by her?

Now I'm sad. :(

[–]TandoriChicken 0 points1 point ago

Mmm, I'd like to take a stop at her Newcastle before settling in her Manchester.

[–]Baked_Charmander 1 point2 points ago

I live in her Newcastle. Believe me, it isn't as great as boobs would have you believe.

[–]ThisBandSucks 0 points1 point ago

I always see a witch riding a pig when I look at our map.

[–]LittlePieceOfMe 1 point2 points ago

Fuck. Now I can't unsee it. If I look at a world map now, I see this anime character in the UK, pedobear in the Netherlands, and the frycook holding the chicken drumstick in Kentucky and surrounding states.

:(

[–]1Lamb1Rice 0 points1 point ago

Well that escalated quickly.

[–]redblueyoung 0 points1 point ago

United-Tan

[–]ARS_ 1 point2 points ago

I read the title as "United Kingdom transformed into animal cracker" I was then disappointed.

[–]CRUMSON 0 points1 point ago

I drew Italy

[–]Longbear 0 points1 point ago

[–]jessew666 0 points1 point ago

now do canada

[–]IveGotDippingSticks 0 points1 point ago

In number 4 north ireland looks like a chode

[–]simmejanne 0 points1 point ago

Can't unsee

[–]Baked_Charmander 0 points1 point ago

TIL I live in a giant anime boob.

[–]greatgolobo 0 points1 point ago

whyd they leave out half the country

[–]Wingser 0 points1 point ago

This is inspiring. Especially from the person that posted the whole thread a little bit ago where they did multiple countries.

Nice upload, OP. =) Makes me want to get out my own wacom tablet and sketch. Stupid house-work! /shakes fist at house-work

[–]TheNewSam 1 point2 points ago

That escalated to AWESOME quickly.

[–]stereotypeless 1 point2 points ago

A bit of the Final Fantasy/Metal Gear Solid kind of art

[–]Verteros 1 point2 points ago

Well that escalated quickly from blob to art.

[–]WisconsinPlatt 1 point2 points ago

Dat Manchester

[–]Judatheist 0 points1 point ago

There are other ways to transform Great Britain into an anime character.

[–]bearfucker 0 points1 point ago

I can confirm that Manchester is just cunts.

[–]RaccoNooB -2 points-1 points ago

Wat

[–]AWKWARD_HANDS_GUY 0 points1 point ago

Manchester is the crotch of the UK. Good to know.

[–]richdev 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of that scene from Frasier ... Daphne: I had a mole removed. Niles: Where? Daphne: Just south of Manchester. Niles: I meant where on your body? Daphne: So did I!

[–]mooncity16 -1 points0 points ago

Ahh Manchester, the vagina of the United Kingdom.

[–]Cronax -1 points0 points ago

And here I was expecting this.

[–]thegreatfapsession -5 points-4 points ago

Just like a typical education drawing book
