do you have any art of Goddard? Btw, love your art!! ❤️

AAH thank you so much! 🫶

And a few, yes! He is also such an interesting character and I enjoy drawing the design I made for him! I have a few scythe memes I would like to draw including him so I hope to get those done some time in the near future ✨💙

Wait what's that bit about Goddard? I live in Roswell and he's a Big Deal here, high school named after him, statue, etc. Did he steal Malina's glory???

So what I would say about this is that Goddard didn't specifically set out to steal Malina's glory himself. Goddard was a talented engineer and rocketeer in his own right. The main issue came from the government of the day. For the American government at the time, having Frank Malina and people like Jack Parsons (oh god) be associated with rocketry when they were suspected communists and deviants was a bad look. Goddard gets a lot of the credit for the early days of American rocketry because he was reasonably squeaky clean, and fit with the social narrative the government wanted at the time - ie. All American hero creates brave new technology and you can be just like him. Goddard's rockets did also fly to heights of 2.5km above sea level - he did have successes. The main issue here is that, in reality, Malina was just incredibly talented and his WAC Corporal rocket worked first time, launching an object to 73km above sea level - and he was Goddard's contemporary. Had he, and many of the talents at the JPL, not been accosted by the FBI America may very well have led the Soviets from the very start of the space race. Unfortunately it's very hard to teach little Timmy 1950s American values when the cool rocket man who put America into space is a communist who is friends with a kinky sex magik cultist. It's a shame really - given that attitude just perpetuates the same mistakes.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

Goddard was, he would later tell people, pruning a cherry tree when a reverie came over him; he imagined a rocket ship ready for Mars on the meadow beyond the garden.†

† When the beloved tree was brought down by a storm in 1938, Goddard noted sadly in his diary that he would "have to go on alone".

Life is capricious, you realize.

It does not always allow us to be reasonable.

[hotvintagepoll]

Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard (Modern Times, The Great Dictator)—hollywood royalty and real life married, these two convey a real chumminess when they're onscreen together so you believe they're not just shippable, they're pals <3

Paul Newman and Robert Redford (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting)—My god, their chemistry. It's iconic. And very very sexy. They're kind of canonically in a throuple in the first one, so that's kind of like playing an actual romance. But also, they're the central relationships of both films and their inexplicable devotion to each other is a key driving force in them. Those blue eyed bastards. I love them.

This is round 1 of a mini Christmas tournament. Each poll lasts for three days. If you'd like to send additional propaganda supporting your favorite hot couple, you can reblog this post with your propaganda added, send it to my asks, or tag me in it. To vote in all the polls, click here. Happy holidays!

[additional sexy propaganda under the cut]

no additional propaganda submitted for Chaplin and Goddard

Redford and Newman:

The following propanda was submitted by the anon who lives in my vents:

[drags self out of the vents reeking of stale gasoline] SO ABOUT THAT NEW MINI POLL.......may i suggest: ROBERT REDFORD and PAUL NEWMAN in BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. MY REASONING:

thagt was some of tha gayest shit i've ever seen in my entire life and i'm only 23

but for realsies, that movie was literally a love story between butch n sundance. every single thing they did, they did together

THEY'RE EVEN PERFECT OPPOSITES IN PERSONALITY—butch is the optimistic guy who never shuts up and is less intimidating than he looks; sundance is the pessimistic brooder who looks harmless because he's pretty, but is the most dangerous guy you'll ever meet

AND THEN,,,,,, EVEN WHEN THEY (SPOILERS) HAD THAT THROUPLEY THING GOING ON WITH ETTA IN BOLIVIA, AND ETTA EVENTUALLY WANTED TO LEAVE, SUNDANCE STILL CHOSE TO STAY WITH BUTCH AND DIE RATHER THAN LIVE A SEMI-SAFE LIFE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!!! LIKE!!!!!! GIRL WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE FINAL SCENE I—i need to stare at a WALL—

plus the fact that paul newman and robert redford were actually besties irl meant that their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. even when i was A VERY STUPID LITTLE KID and i watched that movie for the first time, i was like ".......so um... are they, like, in love with each other and that lady?"

PLUS THE FACT THAT THE MOVIE WAS DIRECTED BY THE SAME GUY WHO WOULD LATER DIRECT THE STING AND THAT MOVIE WAS JUST AS, IF NOT MORE GAY, I—

O-|-< (← me lying dead on the ground)

THE TRUST, THE INTIMACY, THE BANTER, THE LOYALTY, THE INHERENT HOMOEROTICISM OF DYING SIDE BY SIDE—

they're gay, your honour.

ergo, dear mod, i humbly ask that you consider two of my blorbos for the mini poll bracket <3 if you need more information, literally just dm me or tag me, i'll be hangin' out in the vents 😎🤙🏼 as usual (unless my house explodes into bats)

[aortashit]

be

here's a hard pill to swallow: you will NEVER become what you want, you will only become what you ARE

why? bec you never actually desired a material thing, u desired being the self who has it & thro becoming the one who has it, u will feel such experience

u don't want the money cus even if u got the money as ur current self, it wouldn't last bec u don't identify with being rich

what u actually desire is becoming the self who has it & no worries cus self can be changed thro acceptance

accept that you are know rich & the feeling (knowing, conviction, relief,...) will follow, & even if that feeling lasts for a split of a second, that's fine that feeling can be accessed again thro acceptance of the new self

so will u ever be (not get) what you want? only if who you want to be is who you are right now

the choice is urs to make
