She/Her, #auspol (Australian) Creative, artistic, theatrey, engaged in the world people are my tribe. Reformed analyst. Love and solidarity to you all (to quote Mona Eltahawy - it's her line, but the sentiment can be shared)

Mark Lenard as Sarek (Spock's father). It's a close up of his face as if he were in the process of speaking. His brow is furrowed. His hair is short, curly and scruplously combed into submission. The ears are flat against his head and large, point. The nose is prominent, and defining.
Captain Pike, from the Original Star Trek Series. Seated, leaning forward, mid-shot. Yellow velour looking track suit top (star trek uniform), the traditional 'A' shaped communications badge. Serious mouth set. Bright blue eyes gaze off scren to our right. Eyebrows are crinkled; he is thinking, or perturbed by something.
Black Labrador x great dane. Close up on face. Dog is looking slightly upward toward camera with her big brown eyes, the whites showing underneath the brown irises; there is a reflection of light in the iris. Definitely gives her a slightly melancholy look. She has a little white dusting under her nose/upper lip and you can see a fraction of her white chest. But otherwise, she is a pure black. Her fur has that lovely soft brushed look and I can confirm that when you run your hand along it, the fur feels smooth, soft and silky.
Tan and white beaglier snuggles up to a grey and white tom cat.
Three children walk along a fallen tree, their backs to us. The grass around the tree is littered with flowers.
Lion face etched against a wood wall background. Lights edges the panels of wood that delineate the face and mane, so that it glows. A girl in a silvery dress with faint green vines and pink flowers stands, hands clasped together in front of her. She is wearing a pale pink cardigan, has shoulder length wavy hair and looks off to the left to someone out of shot.
Marley, the tan and white beaglier has his tongue out. Beneath him are some little ragdoll kittens still in their almost totally white stage (super cute and fluffy) and is intent on grooming them. All are lying on a soft pink patterned doona cover.
Hand painted image of a woman wearing glasses wearing a Togruta headress (like the aliens in Star Wars; Ahsoka Tano was a Togruta, and never a jedi, but way cooler than a jedi *smiles*). The picture is very smiley and happy.
Publicity photograph from The Borgias. Jeremy Irons as Rodrigo Borias (pope); François Arnaud (as Cesare Borgias, a study by Machiavelli); Holliday Grainger as Lucrezia Borgia. A fabulously sexy and stylish cast.
A tuxedo cat rests her front white sock paws, with visible claws, on a plush dressing gown clad knee.
Black and white cat, very thin, stands on a burgundy chair leaning toward the person holding the phone (me!). Her whiskers are very long and white and stand out from her eyebrowns as well as her muzzle/nose. The eyes are a pale green. Her little white toe socks rest at the front of the chair, right near the hole she has clawed into its fabric (over many days, not just today). Her tail is standing straight up. She looks like a miniature panther at this angle.
A beautiful ragdoll cat sits atop a pile of clothes. Her brow is drawn down and her very blue eyes are half closed. The light forms a rippled 'v' shape on her brow. She looks straight at camera from half closed lids, with her mouth drawn down as if about to say 'tut, tut'. The pile of clothes does not matter at all, but includes a fuschia and silver jacket (which she is lying on), and a fluffy dressing gown. Behind her is a view onto a green lawn and some rocks, enclosed by a red brick wall.
A fluffy white dog (maremma) with soulful brown eyes and a big, wet black nose, looks up at the camera. She is standing on cracked cemeent which is not nearly so white as she is. Her eyes look like they have been painted with thick black eyeliner. Her fur is soft and fluffy looking.
A tan and white beaglier (*three quarters cavalier king charles spaniel and one quarter beagle) sniffs the grass and ground cover near a red brick wall. His tail is a blur because he is, as always, wagging it.
A black and white cat sits on top of a bright red squishmallow octopus which seems many times her size. She is curled in a neat circle on top of the circular squishmallow octopus head. She looks straight at camera and the flash has made her eyes super green. The squishmallow has big black cartoon eyes and is looking slightly to the side of the camera.
Face of a black labrador x great dane. The beautiful black dog looks up at the camera wistfully. Her fur is glossy, shiny and feels exactly that lovely to touch. Her nose is wet and the top lip is frosted with the beginning of a little grey. Definitely not a puppy, but the plaintive expression says "love me". Just visible under her jowl is a bone name tag. The name is not visible but it is Bonnie!
A woman holds a Venetian full face mask in front of her face. The painted lips of the mask are burgundy, as is the fascinator which is part of the mask.
Tom Hardy as Max, in Mad Max: Fury Road. A rugged man, covered in grime and dust, sits in a vehicle of some kind. His brow is crinkled, and he squints slightly as he looks off to the right. He is wearing leather, shaped into some kind of armour, all of it covered in dust. The stubble on his face is a little more than 3 day growth, and also uneven. There is a smudge above one brow which looks like it's old blood. The feeling is post-apocalyptic sunburn and disillusionment, contained with stoicism alone. His mouth is the only thing which isn't dusty, and it's eminently kissable.
A tiny beaglier puppy - tan and white - leans his little face, eyes closed, against someone's shoulder. Fingers (a had bigger than the puppy's head) scratch at the back of its neck, just behind the ear.
Black and white, high contrast photograph. A young woman sits in a field of grass; the grass is very faded in the photograph and can barely be made out. The sun is shining in her hair which is blonde and cut fairly sharply and straight a below the shoulders. She wears a black velvet jacket, which is extremely black in the photograph. She is smiling, but her lips are closed. She looks straight at the camera, though her body is turned to her right. She looks relaxed. And happy.
The shape is a red octagon like a stop sign. The word isn't "STOP" though; it's "Love". This sign is by Alan James.
4 young epople stand facing a mirror sculpture which distorts the images reflected back. The two girls on the left are wearing pale blue dresses and have long Alice in Wonderland hair. The third girl wears a t-shirt over leggings; her hair is shorter and tied back. Hers is the one face you can see in the reflected mirror. The young man to the right of the photoraph is wearing a suit and white shirt. All four young people are reaching to the mirror and have their hand pressed against it.
Old rust bucket car - white paint where the paint has not been rusted off, broken windows; back rear door open wiht shattered glass, looks like it is falling apart.
Cotton looks to our left. Her "flock" (a teenaged young woman) is dressed in a lilac formal dress; white corsage to the wrist. They sit in front of a red brick wall. The young woman is laughing, eyes almost closed, as she scratches Cotton under the chin.
Cate Blanchett is wearing a tuxedo, sitting at an outdoor setting - with a wire table and chair. Her jacket is undone and an undone bow tie dangles at the lapels where her jacket meets the white shirt. Her hair is cut very short and swept back to one side. She looks off to (our) left, almost over her shoulder. Legs are splayed and she is wearing stiletto heels in black.
Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun in Farscape. The leather jacket is a long brown hunting jacket with a 'pirate' 'privateer' kind of flavour.
The word I got when I screenshot the Merriam-Webster GIF is INSPIRING. It was written in lower case letters but I think ALL CAPS showcases how awesome that is. Also, it might indicate how desperate I am for 2026 to be better than 2025...
Katharine Hepburn (playing 'Rose') leans in toward Humphrey Bogart (playing 'Charlie') in a row boat with 'African Queen' written on its side. Both are smiling and obviously happy, though their faces are covered in grime suggeting hardship.
The cast of Stranger Things from publicity material as shown in a 'review' banner. It's like badly rendered AI artwork trying to look like a 1980s movie poster because... that's the schtick we love with 'Stranger Things'... apparently...
A tan and white beaglier in the background snuggles up with a black and white tuxedo cat.
Gif from Game of Thrones. The big guy with red hair who looks like a viking is trying to climb the impossible ice wall with only a little ice pick and a whole lot of will power, and it all seems very grim - and hopeless, really, though he remains angry and determined.
A fluffy white maremma (large dog) and brown and tan beaglier occupy a bed. The maremma faces toward the camera and appears sleepy, her head down and eyes mostly closed. The beaglier faces away from her and is occupying a fluffy rose blanket. We cannot see his face. The bed looks like it has a pink fitted sheet on it, but this is no longer over the mattress properly. It is almost as if the dogs, between them, have successfully UNMADE the bed. However, they seem quite content with this.
A maremma (white floofy dog) looks at the camera. The photo is a close up covering her big brown eyes, black nose, floppy ears and fluffy chest fur only.
A painting made up of four panels, oil on canvas: Salt Lake by Sidney Nolan. The painting is a sepia wash with a sky in the background that suggests the northern lights - there is a glow of green and red in an otherwise foreboding sky with grey clouds breaking through a dust brown haze. Strokes on the canvas leading to the horizon line are rough and a vivid warm white.
Album cover for "Walking Wounded" by Everything But the Girl, released 1996.
Faded vintage photograph: a child lies in bed under tan/orange blankets with their head on a ruffled pillow. They are smiling. The sheet is turned down over the blanket top. Tucked under the sheet along with the child is a black stuffed toy dog. The toy dog's felt tongue is bright red and he looks like he is going to lick the child's face. Behind the child is a doll with long red hair wearing a pink bridal dress and a large panda (larger than the child you would think). The toy panda is tilted as if lying down as well, or leaning into the bride doll. Everything is very soft and pastel and gives the impression of being loved and happy.
Poster from Die Hard Movie with Alan Rickman as the in focus character. "Die Hard" in all caps, large red font. Directed by John McTiernan.
'Cotton' is a maremma. She is all white, with long, shaggy fur and ears that hang down with long wispy strands coming off them. She is lying on brown carpet looking straight at the camera. Big black nose and brown eyes that look out under her fur as if she's always slightly puzzled.
Edward Cohen, vampire in Twilight, is depicted. Brooding, hunky vampire vibes with perfect hair and sad face (perhaps a touch too much lip gloss). His skin is whiter than humanly possible and it is sparkling in the sun as if someone has dusted him with chunky glitter.
Red album cover titled 'Melissa Etheridge'. Melissa Etheridge stands with her head thrown up and back, messy, long hair shaggy behind her, fists in front of her, shoulder height.
Grace Tame, advocate for victims of sexual violence, stands to the side of then Prime Minister, Scott Morrison. Scott Morrison smiles at the camera, while Grace Tame looks at him out of the corner of her eyes. This the famous Grace Tame 'side eye' incident.
A tan and white beaglier lies on a rumpled pale pink sheet. A ragdoll cat lies on the same sheet, facing away from the beaglier, backs touching.
Iconic photograph of Rutger Hauer as Roy Batty in Blade Runner. The shot is a close up. Roy Batty looks to his left of the camera (our right) with wild eyes. Blood runs down his face, diluted by the rain. The background is light and blurred, also by the rain.
Klinger (M*A*S*H) sits next to orphans in the mess hall. There is a small candle in the foreground and red/green decorative elements to suggest that it is Christmas (which it is in the episode).
A black and white cat bats a red pen across an essay paper full of cursive script.
A tiny white figure stands in front of a series of every decreasing white boxes.
This is Marley, establishing that the bed is his. Marley is a white and tan beaglier dog. He is lying half on his back on an unmade bed (the doona has no cover on it). His eyes are rolled back. His paws are flopped in a begging position. The attitude is one of bliss.
The text on the image reads: "This one's from someone who just thinks she's a cop. It's my favourite of all my current bruises." The image is of Eliza Dushku who plays ambiguous, tough underdogs really, really well.
Long haired grey and white cat with pink nose sits in a red, white and black paper bag. He stares up at the person taking the photograph as if to say: What? I think this is perfectly comfy.
Buttercup, from the Power Puff girls (short statured comic character with oversized bobble head, black hair like a winged helmet, and huge green eyes and costume) stands glaring defiantly at the viewer. Her brows draw together in a super frown, her mouth is a grumpy, slanted line, and her arms are crossed. She is... not happy... and you get the feeling she holds you (or 2023) personally responsible.
