Rorschach Inkblot Test – Avalanche
July 11, 2008 44 Comments
We haven’t done a Rorschach Inkblot Test activity in a while, primarily because we breezed our way through the majority of the Halo 3 Global Heatmaps we were using for our images. I feel like changing things up a bit this week though so I am temporarily interrupting our regularly scheduled Friday Caption Fun to bring back an old favorite.
The last time we did this interpretive activity we used the rather intriguing image of Blackout. The striking similarity to female reproductive organs was first noted by pwkwsfi and then quickly seconded by -S-, Kyle, Dan, and Azrylle.
There are certainly some parallel characteristics between the images. I guess a few people were paying attention to the Human Reproduction chapter in Science, eh? This week in an effort to delve deep into your psyche (that was probably the wrong phrase to use after referring to the female reproductive system), I present you with another map to interpret, this time being Avalanche. So tell me, what do you see? And as always, extra nonexistent points for originality!
This is probably the lamest idea ever….but if you turn it upside down, it looks like a Winner’s Wreath.
It also looks like a Tuxedo Shirt.
Whoa – it’s The Butterfly and the Snake!
(What is the Butterfly and the Snake, you ask? Hush.)
I reckon it looks like the Mjolnir armour.
Here I quickly drew up a crappy example gif. (Sorry about some of the crappy proportions)

Oh and Louis, I believe the reason the left-handside has more deaths there is due to the fact the right hand side is elevated, making it harder(and costing more time) for combatants on foot to get up top and kill those above.
Where as the one on the left-handside is lower to the ground and is easier access.
It almost looks like a life vest, but the red in the middle does have a striking resemblance to a bow tie, in which case mendicantbias00′s tuxedo shit suggestion is plausible.
What I first thought of when I saw it was Wiliam Blake’s painting, The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun.
lol Tuxedo Shit???
Thanks AusQB, I tried to find one that had ruffles under the bow tie, but no luck.
Oh, damn. Lol.
*Cleanup in comment 6*
Definetly Minnie the Mouse… I mean, there’s a striking resemblance…
… is it just me, or does anyone else see a bra in the middle?
Alien Rabbit from Donnie Darko? 0.o
yup, the bra was the first thing i saw too. lol.
Ooh, I was just asking my friend about this yesterday.
I personally think it looks like a lyre, an ancient instrument.

including everything, that’s what it looks like to me.
The red part in the middle looks like the human lungs, and the red part down low could be the digestive area…either that or just a big horseshoe lol
Maybe its just me…but if you turn it upside down…I totally see Weird Al.
Anyone? anyone?
I see a very angry grandpa, spewing fire from his mouth, yelling “Get off my lawn, you damn kids!”
I’m curious if you’re getting sick of nether-regions ideas yet…
It looks like a Pelvis-bone to me. But that’s just me. o_o
The other thing I see is also a head- due to the cave part. The top red section is the uvula, and the bottom is a tongue; the darkness is the inside of the mouth. The rest is just the face of the person.
mendicantbias was right, it DOES look like weird al… lol!
ooh – it’s a plethora of inkblots ideas…
I believe it looks like the epic pokemon, Crobat without wings. http://www.pokemondungeon.com/pokedex/images/crobat.jpg
A pelvis.
Its a dissected frog!!

Two things I saw right away:
1. The central red blot is in the shape of the Thyroid Gland (or a butterfly)
2. The entire bit looks sort of like a PET scan (or similar chemical scan) of a deep slice of a (damaged) brain.
I see a moose head and a snake.
It’s the devil or someone:

I definitely see a bra.
I also see a dragon. The top two red horns, the eyes in the middle, and the tongue sticking out at the bottom.
I see an owl… though it would help if owls had arms and hands so that they could shake their fists in the air… cuz if they could, that’s totally what this would look like. XD
Venom from Spiderman? The two big red spots near the middle are his eyes, then the swirly red at the bottom is his tongue. *shrugs* All I can think of.
I think it kinda looks like an Oni. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni_(Japanese_folklore) The japanese demons.
If you were about the size of a tennis ball, and able to see right thru people with your x-ray glasses…. AND got swallowed, so you’re sitting right at the base of someone’s lungs..
If you looked straight down, you’d see exactly this picture
Complete with the open hips of the pelvic bone (at the top of the picture), and a nice red “curly” tailbone at the bottom of the picture..
Essentially, it’s the same as the last one, only from a different angle, and a different kind of x-ray specs. :)
.
I see a butterfly that has just done a poo
someone has to say it from last week, come on its a penis!
penis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Slimer ftw!!!!!!!!!!!
To the people who said penis.
I don’t know about you guys, but my penis sure as hell does not look like anything on that image.
It looks like a bord, flying down to snatch a fish leaping out of the water. The blue on the side is the splashes of water from the fish, and the red on the top and bottom are the bird and the fish respectively.
I can do an image, if you’d like.
Ooh! Ooh! Bob Marley!
You’re all wrong! It’s Santa Claus!
Seriously? Bra and panties…
I saw a giant horseshoe. As to why there are more deaths on the left? Its probably because that side’s defense in one goal games.
It’s totally this guy…
