#MY FAVORITE SCRUNGLE MAN!!!

[spaceguylewis]

Horizon: Zero Dawn (6/ꝏ) "That man — he doesn't look Nora. Is that a corpse next to him?"

[lostozian]

Oh, I am LOSING MY SHIT ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!! God, Little Shop is such a wonderful tragedy to apply to Maruki. Seymour probably only spends 15 minutes thinking he’s making the world a better place, but HIS world becomes a hugely better place the more he feeds this little plant. He starts off giving it his blood (lots of his blood, too much of his blood) until he realizes he can feed it Evil People(tm)... and then he loses track of whether the plant is eating Evil People(tm) or just... inconvenient people... like the people telling him he’s wrong... >:3

They say the meek shall inherit You know the book doesn't lie It's not a question of merit It's not demand and supply They say the meek gonna get it And you're a meek little guy You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to 'em By and by...

[P5R Spoilers!]

🌱Shingaling, what a creepy thing to be happening!🌱

I've a little P5R X Little Shop of Horrors sitting on the back of my mind (guess who's Orin in this au!)

[hotvintagepoll]

Buddy Hackett (The Love Bug, The Music Man)—i like a guy who can sing a funny little song called 'shipoopi' and act like that is normal (music man fans rise up)

Louis de Funès (Hibernatus, La Grande Vadrouille)—He is THE French scrungly icon, everyone knows him and either loves him for his scrungliness or fucking hates it and there's no in between. He is The Scrungly. He is Little. He is amazing. His facial expressions, his little noises, his everything - he's freaking hilarious. Also he's not afraid to crossdress in his movies and he looks fucking AMAZING in drag just saying Old men fuckers, this is your call 💪

This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Buddy Hackett

Other than playing Harold Hill’s best pal in The Music Man, he also voiced Scuttle the seagull in The Little Mermaid :)

Louis de Funès:

He is a small old comedy man, what else can I say? My mom loves him and even was disappointed that such a charismatic man wasn't in the hot contest.

Well... Look at him! He started as a jazz pianist, but he became super famous for his roles of angry little guys, or grumpy little guys, or very, very fractious little guys. A comedy, and in particular physical comedy, legend! And in all of them, he is scowling, contorting himself, seething, spitting words and incoherent with rage, making the funniest faces and noises and... he's like a very, very angry wet cat. Angry Wet Cat is, in fact, the best description I can come up with!!!! He was #ScrungleLifestyle #BornScrungly #Scrungle4Life

[editor's note: I don't speak French so let me know if anything in these clips is offensive. The first two clips are mostly physical comedy and a good introduction to Louis de Funès' physical humor.]

he is so silly!!!! little old man with crazy energy and facial expressions like you wouldn't believe!! the scrungliest!! he makes the most insane characters seem lovable due to his comedian skill and his scrungly quality :D my favorite actor of all times

[quinloki]

Hi Quin! I just saw your qna list and thought I'd show you this hideous monstrosity.

This is my cat, Griswold. He is ugly as hell, but I thought you'd appreciate him. He's not even three years old and he just has that embodiment of "scrungly old man" energy.

I hope you're having an excellent day, love. I will give the Knight of Scrungle some affection on your behalf.

Noooooo, he's so cute T-T I'mma cry!

Griswold, bebe, I just wanna pet all that semi-curly fluffy hair and smoosh your widdle face and give you kisses on your teeny weeny widdle nose! T-T You're so adorable!

I bet you do that really deep, almost hard to hear purr and flex your little biddy paws and leave puncture marks in the flesh of your favorite humans.

He needs a little old man fishing hat.

I love him, thank you so much for sharing <3

[gothhabiba]

Hey, my name's Kevin! I'm a neurodivergent cis bi man. I post about Scringle Scrungle, The Black Arts of Harriet McDoodle, and my continually evolving list of favorite pasta shapes. Mutuals please reblog so I can find new followers!

remember when people used to make posts begging for new followers

[kakashihasibs]

Mr. Hatake Kakashi for the character ask! Yes, I went with the obvious one!

Yay! :D my favoritest scrungle

Favorite thing about them

U mean i have to pick one thing 🥺 hmm i like what a fucking bastard he is. Like yeah for the circumstances they're in he's a good person and kind but also he's just kind of a bastard. Like Gai saying he was weird out by how grateful Kakashi was when Gai saved him? Yeah that fits. It's not that Kakashi isn't grateful to Gai all the time but he's just a bastard about it 💖

Least favorite thing about them

Well i guess even tho he looks very comfortable in the hokage blanket, I'm not overly thrilled he became ninja president of a fascist military state. He at least makes it less of a fascist military state so i can forgive him i guess.

Favorite line

I dont really have an all time favorite line bc that would require me to have the ability to remember things but i liked

"If I'm still sane by the time I finish their training, it'll be a miracle."

Bc like oh hon you have a storm coming and it'll be full of personal growth and healing 💖

brOTP

Tsunade. She's like his weird wine aunt/sorta mom and i think they hang out and complain about annoying shit and drink once she become hokage and things settle down a little bit.

Like when she found out Kakashi died she shed a few tears in the middle of battle. That's how much she was affected. She loves him. You don't cry just bc you lose a coworker.

OTP

Kakayamagai. Omg the vibes of those three together are amazing. Everyone in the vicinity would either be transfixed or horrified (or both) but it would be impossible to remain neutral.

nOTP

Well yaknow the usual creepy ass shit but also like kakashi with literally any woman. I normally don't care or i actively prefer bi headcanons but not for kakashi that man has zero interest in women romantically or sexually

Random headcanon

He has a lot more moles then is shown with the stylized art of manga/anime. (And he's supposed to see a dermatologist once a year but who fucking does that lol)

Unpopular opinion

Probably that he isn't interested in women lol i read his sexuality as asexual gay or aroace (and qpp with Gai and Yam)

Oh the other one is i do not ship kakairu. I just can't see it. Like at all. I think if u put kakashi and iruka together in a room theyd just grow to hate each other. Kakashi would drive Iruka insane. And kakashi would do it on purpose. I just think their personalities clash in a canNOT spend a lot of time alone together without wanting to murder each other way.

Song i associate with them

Self Esteem by AJJ is Kakashi during his ANBU days.

Favorite picture of them

Weird and unhinged half drowned cat kakashi my beloved

I literally want to give him a bath, condition his hair, and finally blow-dry his hair

[basilpaste]

for the fandom ask game....

what about your OCs?

incoherent fandom ask game

oh god if youre asking for all the prompts uh.

blorbo (the one in brain Always): blorbo award goes to mr. parable 'perrie' shakes. he is my favoritist boy. i put him through so much pain. he started as a joke character, smashing sherlock holmes and shakespeare together, but he is so much more. hes such a fun character because he toes the line of 'selfless or just self sacrificing' hard. hes a healer who didnt plan to be a healer, but takes the role in stride! he likes being helpful! blorbo from my brain.

scrunkly (baby character, the one whom is baby): solstice fortunata. solstice. yep. mhm. my scrungle, my little guy. his abilities literally revolve around emotion, so hes kinda shaped by them! despite that? their joy is never faked and their smile is so sweet and their eyes are so bright. solstice can and will make it their job to cheer someone up. i adore he.

scrimblo bimblo (underrated fav): mouse murdock! howdy ho! okay. mouse is one of my favorite characters. i never properly use her for anything, but she is so special to me. theres something that can be personal about a little lady who is not an alien but is almost one.

glup shitto (lmao bg character): so. so i have this character. his name is ace. ace overwood. ace is like 14 years old, a cellist, and... his power is 'egg'. yeah his abilities are all egg puns. hes a snotnosed kid who plays cello though. ive. he has no substance as a character but god hes so fun he stinks so bad.

poor little meow meow (pathetic </3): parable downly. who is perrie in the worst case scenario. at his best, downly is the worst case of repressed autism turned emotional repression youve ever seen. he is a business boy and does nothing more than make snide remarks about the people hes forced to interact with. downly is incredibly intelligent, but he also learned from his father (who i will get to.) how to deal with others. which is! not well!! he sucks but also hes like literally a kid who never learned how to kid. pathetic little man </3

horse plinko (id maim you): IM GETTING TO THE FATHER. NATHANIEL FUCKING DOWNLY. so perrie, normal perrie. he takes his moms maiden name because his father is the fucking WORST. nathaniel is a shit father and uses his time to run a massive surveillance tech company called OWL Intelligence. so much time, in fact, that he left perrie alone to go fuck off and work. nathaniel is a bastard. his ability set is not one driven to fight, but instead one driven to react. for reference: one of these abilities makes it impossible for the person targeted to attack him (other than melee) for the rest of combat. unless they reveal a significant secret about themselves. slimy asshole. id bite him.

eeby deeby (straight to superhell): eliane aelius. now this isnt to say id send her to eeby deeby because i dislike her or because she sucks (although she is an ex-serial killer. how can one be an ex-serial killer? well theyre all alive now.), no, i just think shed enjoy it. the thrill of it, yknow? she is the girlboss turned wet paper towel of a woman. she used to kill people. now she knits and goes to roller derby practice on wednesdays.

Edward Everett Horton (Holiday, Top Hat, Arsenic and Old Lace)—Edward Everett Horton was a character actor who appeared in over 100 films between 1923 and 1971 who excelled at playing nervous, tightly-wound characters encountering mishaps or otherwise out of the element. You only have to watch his world-famous double take to see why people kept hiring him as the nervous best friend of the main character, a put-upon suitor to a leading lady, or the person in charge of making sure the show was a big success. A 1940 article in Time Magazine stated that “In all his contracts, Horton includes an unwritten clause that he shall not be compelled to play a married man, kiss a woman, have any children.” This does not reflect the roles Horton actually played, either before or after 1940, but it does sum up his vibe pretty well, his vibe being “gay and anxious.” It’s a wonder he’s not already tumblr’s favorite character actor! In another article about a Broadway run of Springtime for Henry (a show that Horton toured around the country, to the tune of more than 3,000 performances in his lifetime) he’s described as having a “persimmon face, crow beak nose and scissor lips” which feels pretty “scrungly” even if, at six foot two inches, Horton doesn’t really fit the definition of “little.” He steals just about every scene he’s in, thanks to his excellent expressions and impeccable comedic timing, managing to be funny and believable. Or as Horton himself said “The reason people think I’m funny is because I remind them of someone they know. Somebody who probably annoys them considerably, but for whom they really have an affection”.

Lotte Lenya (From Russia With Love)—She's a Russian assassin who tries to kill James Bond with her shoe! What a legend! And is immortalized in the song Mac the Knife.

Edward Everett Horton:

He was just perpetually anxious, and being around Fred Astaire trying to woo Ginger Rogers, or whatever Cary Grant was doing would make you anxious. I just feel delighted every time he graces my screen

i know he's already in but he's the funniest character actor who ever existed so have some additional propaganda for the most perpetually startled and put-upon and woe-betide-me crumpled napkin of a man to ever sigh beleagueredly on the silver screen. master of the double take, the triple take, maybe even the quadruple take. he's in SO many movies and he bumbles and scrungles his way exquisitely about all of them with the deft precision of his comic timing and the minute flicker of every facial expression. he's the odd little man i'm always happiest to see pop up anywhere. tends to play a charmingly ineffectual fussy bachelor in need of a tums who things are always happening to.

Lotte Lenya:

[hotvintagepoll]

Ann Dvorak (Scarface)—i had never heard of her before the ladies tournament but her fucked up little dance has never, spiritually, left me

Peter Cook (Alice in Wonderland)—alice in wonderland 1966 is one of my favorite films and he might be my favorite part, he gives a take that feels totally different from every other mad hatter i have ever seen, truly peak casting for me of this peak weirding man.

Robert Helpmann (The Red Shoes, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang)—an extremely enticing combination of graceful and balletic and scrungly weirdo who looks kind of like if you put fred astaire and young boris karloff circa the black cat into the splicer machine from the fly. a literal actual ballet dancer, choreographer, shakespeare actor, and theater director, who left a mark on the psyches of many children as the terrifying child catcher in chitty chitty bang bang. undeniably scrungly but elegant and spidery in his scrungliness. in powell and pressburger's opera film tales of hoffmann he can be seen playing four different characters!

Jack Haley (The Wizard of Oz)—Whenever i see him out of the tin man costume, I think, what's that jazzy little fella side-eying everybody through fifty tons of eyeliner? And then I realize it's Jack Haley. He did not really have much opportunities to scrungle inside the tin man costume, but I do think any man who hears the previous guy nearly died on the job due to the aluminum makeup then decides to do it anyway in a .....hambone sort of style should be considered scrungly

Robert Helpmann:

In the interests of honesty i will say that I have only seen Robert Helpmann in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , but honestly does it get weirder, scrunglier or more delightfully creepy than the Child Catcher? REALLY. He is so gracefully off-putting (and thereby utterly captivating). One of my very favourite aspects in one of my favorite chilhood movies. And ASIDE from the child catcher, just LOOK AT HIM!!!

I know we all know him from our childhood traumas from Chitty, but he was also an extremely talented dancer. you can see him here in the red shoes (he is the one who plays her lover).

Welcome to the HOT AND VINTAGE MOVIE STARS poll blog! We are currently processing submissions for the Scrungly Little Guy (gender neutral) contest. The Hot & Vintage Movie Men & Women Tournaments are now wrapped—congrats to Toshiro Mifune and Eartha Kitt! If you are here for the Dracula Daily polls, those will be posted regularly following the progress of the Substack newsletters.

All polls—including ongoing polls, previous rounds, old tournaments, the various shadow brackets, the Dracula Daily polls, and fun mini polls—can be found in the #hotvintagepoll tag.

FAQs:

“Who counts as a scrungly little guy?” I feel like you know a scrungly little guy when you see one. Feel the scrungle within your spirit. Picture them damp.

“What are the scrungly submission rules?” They're all in the link posted above! Here it is again. If I didn't cover something in those rules, send me an ask.

If you’re submitting propaganda for your scrungly little guy, I don’t accept propaganda that’s from beyond the end of 1970. I also don’t accept them performing in TV shows unless it's a cameo appearance where they're clearly playing themselves.

The views expressed in the propaganda are not my own. I don’t submit my own propaganda, and I don’t change what’s submitted beyond fixing obvious spelling mistakes. If you hate a poll bio or a pic, let me know and send me something I can use instead.

I don’t post or boost negative propaganda about any of the hotties. If you really hate that someone is winning, send me positive propaganda for their hot opponent instead. A lot of these hotties were flawed or problematic in some way—or straight up garbage—but for reasons I go into here, I don’t boost anti-propaganda.

If I see repetitive, trolling, and/or bigoted remarks in the comments, I may block you from this bracket. If you want to point out a competitor’s problems in the replies, that’s fine, but if I see consistent bad-faith trolling or targeted harassment of anyone, you will be blocked.

“Tel me again who won the major tournaments?” Eartha Kitt was crowned the hottest Hot & Vintage Movie Woman, and Toshiro Mifune won the Hot & Vintage Movie Man Tournament.

“Tell me more about this shadow realm?” There is too much lore.

“I want to find my favorite hottie from a past tournament!” Try a tag search for them (ie, use a hashtag in my search bar to find every post I’ve tagged them in). If you still haven’t found your hottie, they either did not fit the criteria of being a movie star from 1910-1970 or they did not make it past the prelims.

“My FAQ isn’t on here :(” send me an ask! I love hearing from you guys—just please check these basics first.

Tournament schedule post-hiatus:

Ongoing: Dracula Daily casting polls

Currently accepting submissions: Scrungly Little Guys contest (gender neutral)

After that: Ultimate Hottie Tournament (top brackets of the hot men & hot women competing together)

TBD: Horror Hotties (Frankensteins, Draculas, Brides, etc.)

TBD: Dandy Detectives (Marples, Sherlocks, Nancy Drews, etc.)

fun mini polls that pit sets of characters from the same movie together, like the Philadelphia Story or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ones (these can be found in the #minis tag)

Thank you for being here! Enjoy the polls.

[hotvintagepoll]

Una O'Connor (The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein)—One of my favorite character actresses! While many people know her as the shrieking innkeeper's wife in The Invisible Man, I've always loved when she played a character who was a little more grounded (though that scream of hers is pretty iconic.) Her character of Bess is warm and loving towards Marian, but also tough and takes no prisoners. When they are captured in the forest, she comes forward to protect Marian with so much ferocity that Sir Guy (the villain) moves out of the way so quickly because even he doesn't want to feel Bess' wrath. She could switch from hilariously over-the-top to gently and sweet in the blink of an eye and she deserves a little more recognition! Also her hats in Robin Hood are ridiculous and I love them.

Rod Steiger (Doctor Zhivago, On the Waterfront)—his wikipedia literally says "noted for his portrayal of offbeat, often volatile and crazed characters".
