my rapture outfit
john de lancie as “q” from “star trek: the next generation” in the outfit from the first and last episode of the series, a crimson judge’s robe with a black balaclava rising up to a severe black hat shaped almost like a crown, with an elaborate and gaudy gold necklace with red jewels, his face whitened, and crimson leather gloves that match his robe. behind him, we see the eyes of captain jean-luc picard staring at us almost god-like. at the bottom of the picture are the words, “star trek, the next generation, all good things” - the title of the series finale.

slappy the squirrel from “animaniacs”, an elderly cis female squirrel wearing a jaunty green bowler with a yellow band and a yellow daisy 🌼, purple eye shadow, stands with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face that seems to say, “well, that was pointless”.

post a random picture, or else everything will go bad in september (it won’t, but it’s a fun idea)
a picture from my kitchen of an empty rocks glass with a squeezed lemon slice and a small rubber man hanging on the rim wearing nothing but a bright orange speedo with the name, “josh” on his derrière. a white bottle cap lies next to it to the left and a paring knife to the right. to the left of the bottle is a bottle of olive oil labeled, “nazareth, organic extra virgin olive oil, secret blend, made in palestine, 2023”, there are digital watermelons across the label. a wooden cutting board is leaning against the wall to the right of the glass.

post an unusual sign if you feel like it
a poster in the style of a needlepoint with flowers framing the top and bottom of the sign; text reads, “PLEASE DON’T DO COCAINE IN THE BATHROOM”, with smaller text underneath in parentheses “we have a living room for that”. the sign is posted over the commode in a spotless white bathroom with subway tiling.

if you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh:
gif of susie from “rugrats”, a black child wearing a yellow dress with purple flowers, stands with hands on hips in a threatening stance. text at the bottom of the screen reads, “you can stay and get your ass beat or you can stay and get your fucking ass beat”

chia-hui liu as pai mei from “kill bill: vol. 2”, a cis japanese male with long white beard and mustache, large white eyebrows and long white sideburns, strokes his beard to the side and nods approvingly.

my second favorite pic of #BeaArthur is from this event:
bea arthur, a cis white middle aged woman with salt and pepper hair in an up bouffant style, wears a black lace formal gown with a black neckband accented with a large fake red rose, large pearl and diamond earrings, is smoking a cigarette and appears slightly dewy. the words “stephaniejblock” appear in the lower right corner with an instagram repost symbol.

a claw vending machine filled with stuffed toys, including a minion from “despicable me”, a blue football with brown eyes and a smile, a doe eyed white tiger, a fuchsia cyclops with lower fangs, an orange wolfman, a yellow haired beetlejuice, and (inexplicably) a freddy kreuger “doll”. slappy the squirrel from “animaniacs”, a cis female squirrel with her arms crossed wearing a green hat with a jaunty yellow flower, wears a scowl on her face that seems to say, “well, that was pointless!” bea arthur, a cis white woman in her sixties with a salt and pepper bouffant and heavy pink rouge, is slightly sweaty and smoking a cigarette, wearing a black lace formal dress with large pearl and diamond earrings and a black neck band adorned with a giant fake red rose, in the bottom right corner appears an instagram repost symbol and the name stephaniejblock roger the alien from “american dad” as his genevieve vivance charachter, a satirical version of tabloid journalism, wears a tight purple sweater and blonde wig, cocks an automatic pistol and looks at the camera with a deadpan expression

age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.
cover art for “he-man and the masters of the universe” cartoon - a line of very muscular men and shapely women stand under the title of the show as lightening appears to be drawn to a sword lifted in the air by the center character, he-man, a muscular cis white male wearing nothing but a silver harness with a red cross in the center, a fur loincloth and fur boots.

you see this, post a vampire and pass it on. 🧛‍♂️
james marsters as william “spike” pratt from buffy the vampire slayer (1997), a cis white male who appears to be approximately early to mid-20s in age, and bears a striking resemblance to billy idol (especially the white blond hair), sits tied up in a bright orange chair, and has his right arm raised at the elbow holding his pointer and middle fingers in a “v” position towards the person they’re looking towards, his left eyebrow arched.

jennifer saunders as edina and joanna lumley as patsy from “absolutely fabulous” - two middle aged cis white women in loud, obnoxious fashion, one is smoking a cigarette, the other has a cocktail in her hand.
