What's with the background
Make it grow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Outside of the innuendo, I suppose the Rascals would work.
🎶 Let it snow🎶

🎵 Le tits now🎵
- My mom has some holiday decoration blocks that spell "Let it snow". It has become a tradition of mine to rearrange them into "le tits now" and see how long til she notices. Good times.
Americans have no idea how to pronounce van Gogh. Literally none of the phonemes in Gogh are pronounced similar to the phonemes in “go”.
- You mainly get "van go," but also the occasional "van goth."
  
  At least that last one gets the “o” sound right (but nothing else).
  
  “G” is a velar fricative, “o” is the short o as in “top”, and “gh” is the hardest, raspiest fricative you can muster.
Make it flow should have been an image of Patrick Stewart in Dune
Make some pho.

Make it crow.

Make it tow.

Fake Bonobo.
- Careful, the mispronunciation police will tag you for your use of pho.
  
  It was actually Gogh that made me ok with it. We are obviously flying a little loose.
  
  Hate to say it, but "Gogh" is not pronounced "Go." It's more like "hah."
How does 'Make it Gogh' even fit?
- Americans tend to pronounce his name like Van Go, not the fancy Dutch way.
  
  Aaaah! Now I get it!
  
  Sorry I'm German, so our pronunciation is closer to the Dutch, so it didn't make sense to me
Vincent van Gogh definitely does not fit in there, unless you butcher his name.
Make it low (decibel or height)

Make it dough (money or bread)

Make it disco

Make it glow

Make it tallow

Make it mow

Make it velcro

[On mobile, my single spacing is on furlough]
Who's the faux character?
- Shinzon, a clone of Picard.
- Shinzon of Star Trek Nemesis
Pakled Clumpship inbound
Make it cow
Make it caw
Make it no
Make it now
Make it warp-O
Make it engage
Man I say that last phrase to myself multiple times a day. I have a bad case of "put something down, lose it forever" thanks to adhd. Where are my keys/phone/shoes? I look for things to make me go.
I love the Ardra cameo at lower left. First space scammer they encountered, love that ep.
- Surely Vash would have been the better choice... Or perhaps that lady who was a gift between world then the ferengi tried to steal her... And she imprinted on Picard...
  
  ...Or maybe the daughter of the fifth house of Betazed and the holder of the sacred chalice of Rixx?
