    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush? Arm/shoulder is not the same as hand though.

    Yeah that's incorrect. In fact none of the words in that sentence are in the solution

    The bird in the tattoo is called "great tit" in English, which gives me a lot of ideas. All of which are probably wrong and best not expressed on a quality site such as TWC.

    No, wait!1!! It came to me while writing this message. It's "tit for tat"!

    Well done

    I'm afraid I have to appeal to Flinn for the rep.

    Thank you, Kongen! Here is the next one.

    Content warning! It features a non-graphic image of an accident scene, so I put it in spoiler tags in case someone is not in the mood to view one.

    I guess a hint is in order. This is a short biblical expression with nothing really left unrepresented in the pictures.

    God's love conquers death. I have been on love conquers death for a day but that isn't a real phrase and cheating is no fun.

    That is a profound thought, but I would never represent God with a picture of Gollum. This is a well-known King James bible quotation that has been referenced a lot in music particularly, but also in film and games.

    Hint time. In the first picture, what might Gollum be saying when he looks like that?

    Well, I thought about "precious" or something to do with that, but I still am nowhere. I mean, "A precious trophy overcomes death"? Nope. Maybe something like "My love triumphs over death itself"? If that's it, I think enoch gets a half point though, as his post above has basically that.

    You are closing in in a way and I am dying to give you another hint (it feels so good when someone finally gets it ), but it is perhaps fair to wait a while and see if someone connects the dots.

    Yeah 'precious' was an obvious interpretation of the first pic, but in terms of catchphrases it's complete dead end for me. I got to something along the lines of "count your blessings" or "carpe diem" but I can't find anything equivalent that fits the pics.

    Same here. I think a hint is in order, or I am going to just start rambling out random Bible quotes
