Man, do I ever checked on MultiVersus’s YT Channel yesterday. I won’t getting too much hyped for this, but if you’re a DC Comics fan and Mark Hamill’s voice performance in cartoons; best my guest to freaking out. 😅🫤

There are so many great character details crammed into this one letter, but I feel like this is what gets me thinking the most no matter how many times I read it. Mina actively chose to write ‘lady journalists’ when just ‘journalists’ would serve the exact same purpose. She knows of other working women like herself, and has paid attention to them enough to copy their methods when doing something as simple as a personal journal. It’s a subtle but effective way to show that not only she acknowledges women that are probably career oriented - and does not phrase it in any way that implies derision or disapproval - but also admires them enough to find inspiration in the work they do.

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY TO PRINCESS CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH DIANA OF WALES -May 2nd 2024.

It is hard to believe this little girl (not so little now) is already 9. I remember the first time we saw her a few hours after her birth and how William and Catherine were so happy to have a daughter. A few months later, her proud dad even said she was “a little joy of heaven” and now calls her “Mignonette” because she's so cute. Charlotte is so kind, beautiful and sweet but she also has a strong character and is the boss with her brothers. Charlotte, it's a real pleasure to see you growing up and we all love you so much.

Introducing

Draw This In Your Style Month (for rc9gn)

Each week, I'll post a doodle with the tag #rc9gndtiys each week for the month of April and then you can show how you'd draw it.

More info under the cut

This is basically the solution for the poll I had posted a while back. I know I mentioned a Google Form, but impulsively decided to do this instead. If I decide to do this yearly(?), I'll add a feedback form for future prompts and what to do better.

This is going to be a very lax event. Compared to the daily prompts of Ninjavember (30 in total!!), this is going to be a total of 5, one per week. You don't need to complete each prompt or need to do it within a week. This is all just for fun!!

A very traumatized, very unwell, heavily grieving alter whose spouse went dormant laughed and smiled genuinely for the first time in nine months today! I’m so proud of him!

FAQ

Decided to answer any questions/address any complaints all in one post as we move into the next round:

BILLBOARD HOTTIES TOURNEY/MISS BILLBOARD TOURNEY:

How am I meant to vote in the tourney? The vote is supposed to be for the best-looking/hottest musician/singer/composer/etc, not for whose music you think is better. Looks should be based on pre-1980 looks, not anything after that.

How can I submit propaganda? What can I submit? You can submit photos, videos of performances/interviews, and even songs. Between rounds, the best way to submit propaganda to be used for the next poll post is through the asks or submission box. DMs are also accepted but not preferred. Submit as much propaganda for the post as you like; if it's got a direct link or you have the direct image, it'll work. During rounds, asks and submissions are still welcome, but DMs are not. Instead, tag billboard-hotties-tourney in posts to get them reblogged here. Please do not spam this blog with propaganda. One submission per nominee per day per person, PLEASE. If you submit more than one per day, it will be ignored. You are still welcome to reblog poll posts and add unlimited propaganda there. Any negative propaganda submitted to the inbox will be ignored. If you want someone to lose, find positive propaganda about their opponent.

Why did you use the pictures you did? Why did you use the songs you did? Since this poll was supposed to be for musicians pre-1980, I'm only using pre-1980 images for the polls and pre-1980 songs for the propaganda. It's why you didn't see the classic Tony Levin look, or any modern-day Geddy Lee images, for instance. You can always reblog with post-1980 pictures, but as for the original poll posts, there will only be pre-1980 images. As for the song selections, I tried to pick songs that are either a popular song of theirs, or songs that may be lesser-known but still highlight their musical ability.

TANTALIZING TUNES TOURNEY:

How am I meant to vote in the tourney? Your choice should be based on what the hotter/sexier song is, not necessarily which song you prefer. Choices should NOT be based upon the artist or how the artist looks when they perform it. Choices should also be based upon the version of the song in the running, not a different version of the song.

ALL TOURNEYS:

Where is ____? If you don't see a person/song, they either weren't submitted and not considered by me, or they were eliminated in a previous round. If they were here at some point, they have a tag.

Is it too late to submit ____? Yes.

Why are these two frontrunners paired against each other already? Every pairing is random; it's all down to the luck (or lack thereof) of the draw.

Where is the propaganda I submitted? Either it definitely didn't fall into the pre-1980 category (although if you see any that slipped past me, feel free to correct me,) the image wouldn't attach to the post, or the person's face was obscured to the point where it wouldn't have made sense to keep it. Please also do not send NSFW pictures, I don't want butt naked people on my posts.

Can I submit propaganda for a person/a song no longer in the running? No.

What happens in the event of a tie? Due to the previous rigging of a tie, the rules for what happens in the event of a tie have changed. If there is a tie for a poll, the two will no longer advance together, but instead, there will be a second poll that lasts 24 hours to determine the winner. If there is another tie after the second poll, neither will advance.

Thank you for your understanding here! Please let me know if you have any questions not answered here, and enjoy the rest of the tournament.
