THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

FIRST ROUND: 34th Tilt

George, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) VS. Kíli, The Hobbit Trilogy (2012-2014)

Propaganda

George, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) Portrayed by: Alan Rickman Defeated Opponents: - William Wallace [Mel Gibson], Braveheart (1995)

“Robin who? The Sheriff is *obviously* the star of this movie, stealing every scene as the funnest, most sneeringly evil villain you could imagine, with a luxuriant mane, a fabulous goth wardrobe, and a voice that'll send shivers down your spine.”

Kíli, The Hobbit Trilogy (2012-2014) Portrayed by: Aiden Turner Defeated Opponents: - Daario Naharis [Michel Huisman], Game of Thrones (2011-2019)

“He's just so cute. Like a scruffy little puppy. I love him.”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For The Sheriff:

“The Sheriff of Nottingham was the highlight of this subpar retelling of the adventures of Robin Hood. The film almost flopped before he entered the scene."

“He single-handedly saved that film - he oozes bad boy sex appeal”

“No, the character was not hot in personality but apparently they gave Alan Rickman total freedom with his portrayal & let him improvise & he was fucking hilarious & stole the show”

How Alan Rickman Rescued Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with a trip to Pizza Express

For Kíli:

“He is charming, A DWARF ARCHER, and calls Bilbo ‘Mr. Boggins,”

inspired by the manchester anon haha but do you have any tips and suggestions for visiting leeds? 🩷

I've lived here for 2 years now (!!!) but somehow I still don't really know my way around and just go to the same 5 places and use google maps to get anywhere else. it's sad. but here's some shit I love:

Grindhouse - cheap drinks, loads and loads of seats, never too full, music a reasonable volume, and they project 80s movies on the back wall. we once sat in here for 2 hours cos Stand By Me was on. one time we watched the bar staff earnestly tell a group of women on a hen do that the bar was closed and they weren't serving any more drinks, at 7:45pm. 10/10.

Rudy's - only 9 cities* in this fair nation have a Rudy's, so I'm going to keep reccing it for everyone else. perfect Neapolitan pizza. *Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Nottingham, Durham, London, York, Liverpool - if you live in one of these places and haven't been to Rudy's yet, sort it out.

Neon Cactus - go here on a Wednesday and order wings, and you'll get half price margs. lots of great Mexican scran. don't take anyone too picky or over 50, because the price for the great food and vibes is that at least one thing you order will be incorrect. but roll with it. half price margs, man.

Empire Cafe - book in advance if you want to sample the delights of Empire Cafe, cos there's like 6 tables max. everything is seasonal, changes on the daily, and is insanely delicious. if you want to experience heaven, order the steak and chips with salsa verde. there is NOTHING like it.

Stuzzi - another seasonal, small plate sort of place, but Italian. amazing food and a gorgeous restaurant. go with a big group and order one of everything.

Eat Your Greens - ANOTHER seasonal restaurant! this one is farm-to-fork and organic. I can’t speak to the quality as I haven’t actually been, but I am a frequenter of their GREENGROCER, which is MEGA. last time I think I left with natty wine, pâté, some insane tinned fish, a jar of harissa and a bag of sunset potatoes. if you like food, go here.

SARTO - fresh, handmade pasta and picky bits. another great place to go with a group and order all the starters. I had a celeriac pasta there last year that I think about on a fairly regular basis; I picked it cos it was the weirdest sounding thing on the menu and it was fucking mouthwatering. good quality and good people! and it's next door to The Wardrobe, so perfect for a pre-gig tea.

Santiago Bar - like Grindhouse (alternative, casual) but the music is louder and you'll find yourself doing tequila shots at 1am and screaming along to, like, Don Broco. it's the best.

Blue Collar Boys - as a rule I hate 'vintage' clothes shops (overpriced, ugly, everything is XXS), but this place seems to specialise solely in American t-shirts and sweatshirts from the 90s in exactly my size, and everything is £10. this is amazing and a huge bargain if you find something like vintage Wranglers and a Playboy bomber jacket (£20, my wife) but not so amazing or a bargain if you find 3 t-shirts with holes in (£30, me). we've never been without finding shit we love. they only open on random weekends, and they always seem to have more stuff than they could possibly ever sell. it's a freaky vintage alternate universe.

The Corn Exchange - a big gorgeous ol' building full of little businesses. vintage, handmade, tattoos, coffee, jewellery, independent brands, yarn, shoes, a barbers, a bookshop, they've got it all. very easy to spend £100 and 6 hours. every so often they have a market on the bottom floor. perfect tiny representation of Leeds: quirky, independent, delicious, cool.

Silver's Deli - this is a 9-minute train ride away in Bramley (my ends!) but has become THEE buzzy foodie spot recently. go on a sunny saturday morning (cos you will probably have to sit outside) and order the everything sandwich. thank me later. if they have scotch eggs or sausage rolls on, I beseech you, order both. and if you want the sunday special prepare to get there at 11 and fight.

Against the Grain - if you've come to Bramley for Silver's, you may as well trundle 10 minutes up the road and visit the best bar in Leeds. cosy, casual, full of locals, hidden in Swinnow Mills. it's a sit-around-and-chat-to-people sort of place, with bonus charcuterie boards AND a pizza van on weekends. we are here A LOT, because Gray's Salon and Rose and Thorn Tattoo are both in the Mill, and we give them all our money. oh! and dog friendly. sooo many dogs.

Project House/Galleria - if you've gotten the train out to Bramley for Silver's and ATG, jump on the 72 back to town and get off at Project House to eat MORE food. Galleria is a great place to get breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Project House has EVERYTHING (depending on the day). yoga! gigs! vintage fairs! a bi-annual tattoo convention meets makers market with food vendors called Hand of Glory! check what's on and head on down to support local!

Kirkstall Bridge Inn - another one local(ish) to me, but worth travelling out of town for; a PROPER pub (i.e. no tv, no sports, no shite) that does roasts upstairs and lets dogs in downstairs. outdoor seating right by the canal, and every so often they put something on and the car park turns into a tiny festival. Kirkstallpalooza is a highlight. great place to finish a nice canal walk (who am I?!).

tl;dr sorry that this is obnoxiously long, I love Leeds

Why Did I Trust You?

Masterlist of fan fiction

Fandom: Robin Hood

Pairings: Guy of Gisborne x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Sadness, angst, betrayal (sort of!), depression mention, fluff

Comments/Notes: Requested by @puggledy-huggledy-is-not-a-pig who is the biggest Guy fan that I know. From the prompt "They told me not to trust you but I didn't listen."

I hope you like the fic. As always, like, reblog and comment if you enjoy. If you wish to be added to any of my tag lists, let me know.

Everyone kept telling you how Guy had always been taken with Marian, and that his heart still belonged to her. No one could get over lost love that easy. She had disappeared into Sherwood Forest with her lover, Robin Hood. Leaving Guy to pick up the pieces of a shattered heart. You had never met this Marian woman, but had heard plenty about her from the locals. 

You had travelled to Nottingham in high hopes of better income, and thankfully, you had been given a roof over your head, alongside the work, for all for your trouble. Guy had sorted that out for you. After all, he knew your father, who worked as a fellow tax collector in the next town over and often visited Nottingham to report to the Sheriff. 

Being a newcomer also meant that everyone was suspicious of you. And you had become aware of the rumours that people were spinning behind your back, despite being polite to your face. Snakes, all of them. Most days when you walked through the courtyard of the castle, heading in for your day of work, you’d see people gently shoulder each other. You’d see this action out of the corner of your eye, but as soon as they saw you’d noticed them, they would smile. Vipers! 

By the time you had been there six months, you knew it was time to move on. Nottingham was not quite the charming place that you had been told by your old townsfolk. Maybe the stories had been spun from those assuming that due to Nottingham being a central stronghold for finances, that the streets were paved with gold. That couldn’t have been any further from the truth. Only the Sheriff’s personal chambers were lined with gold; everywhere else was run down and full of squalor.

The last arrangements were in place, and the following day, you were ready to return home. It would take you about a day to walk to your meeting point with your father, who was coming by horse and cart to collect you. Messenger pigeons had been flying between you and your father for the last month, as your depression had gotten deeper and beckoned you home. 

The only good thing about the place was Guy. In fact, he was the only friend you had in this horrible place. The thought of leaving him was hitting you hard, and as you cleaned the larger chambers of the castle, you kept Guy’s until last. 

Upon stepping inside the room, you saw the seat that you sat in most evenings, where you would share dinner with him. You would watch the candlelight dance across his pointed features, highlighting the sadness in his ice blue eyes. Was the sadness remnants of an unrequited love? 

Tears kept threatening to fall down your cheeks as you cleaned the surfaces with a rag. At his bedside table, you moved the vase of flowers you had placed there three days ago, sweeping the dust beneath it. All you could feel was the painful, burning sensation of something lodged in your throat. 

Don’t you cry. Don’t you dare cry! 

As you made the bed and took one last sniff of his pillow, you realised that you had nothing of his. And you couldn’t leave Nottingham without at least one token from him, even if he had not given it you freely. 

There was a jewellery box which you knew Guy kept in his wardrobe, just behind his boots, on the floor. You could remember him telling you about it, where he explained that no one else knew of its existence, but you. 

Your hands were shaking as you approached the wardrobe, and slowly you opened the door, listening to it creak. The box was simple, with no inscription at all. It didn’t matter what it was that you took, as long as it was Guy’s; something to remember him by. Not that you could ever forget him in a hurry. 

Blood was thumping in your ears as you opened the box and looked upon two gold rings inside. That was all the box held, these two gold rings. The first one was a simple band, with no jewels or inscriptions. The other was gold, but had a simple green stone upon broad shoulders. You snatched the ring with the green stone and slipped it into your apron pocket. 

“What are you doing?” a deep voice came. 

You gasped, stepping back at the sight of Guy. When had he come into the room? “P…please, it’s not what it looks like.” 

“Oh, I know it was exactly what it looked like. You stealing one of my grandmother’s rings.” His eyes were so wide now, and you couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling a rod of ice shoot down your spine. Guy was terrifying when angry, a trait that many a person had seen who lived in Nottingham. This was your first time of seeing his anger directed at you. 

“I’m sorry,” you whimpered. You pulled the ring back out of your pocket and placed it down on the table next to you. “It really is not what it looks like.” 

Guy turned on his heel. “They told me not to trust you, but I didn’t listen.”

“Guy, please,” you pleaded, touching his shoulder. 

“Don’t touch me!” he growled. “I let you in. I offer my vulnerability to you, and I offer you so much, and this is how you value our relationship? By stealing from me?” 

Tears fell down your cheeks. Your heart thundered, shattering even more with each beat. “I wanted something of yours, to remember you by.” 

“Remember me by? What do you mean?” Guy asked, his voice less hostile now. Slowly, he turned back to face you. 

Tears had begun to form in his eyes. His gaze was intense, and locked on you. 

“I would never have betrayed your trust, Guy. Believe me. I value you more than you realise.” 

“Yet you still plan to leave?” 

Of course he knew what you had meant. “You have no idea how it’s pained me to complete my duties today, knowing it will be the last time we stand face to face.” 

“Am I not enough to stay for?” The words only just came out of his mouth, broken by the breath that was struggling to get out. “I’m never enough.” Those words were despaired whisper. 

“Guy, no!” you exclaimed. “Never think that.” 

“But you’re leaving!” His voice had re-gained its power, and he stared at you. “I’ve been beside you in everything since you came here. Why am I not enough?” 

You reached out and took Guy’s leather-clad hand. “You are enough. Why don’t you think you are? Is it because of Marian?”

Guy closed his eyes for a second and sighed. Then he focused his gaze back on you. “I see the townsfolk enjoy talking about me.” 

“Don’t blame them. You’ve mentioned her before, and I guessed she’s the woman you love.” 

“She isn’t. Not anymore. I did love her once and she left. Every woman I grow to love leaves me.” 

Did that mean…? Breath caught in your throat, but you tried not to get above yourself in your want of him. “So other women before her have left?” 

Guy smirked. “Don’t deny what’s right in front of you.” He whispered your name and came closer, his body so close to yours. He looked down from his taller height.

You placed both of your hands on his chest, wanting so much to feel his bare skin beneath the leather. Your gaze met his and you leaned up, placing a gentle kiss against his lips. 

Guy opened his eyes, seeing uncertainty in your face. And gathering his confidence and love, he wound his arms around your waist and kissed you. 

The kiss was full of love, passion and desperation. Your tongues met, and within a few more seconds, Guy’s lips were on your neck. He was panting, and you whimpering.

As you both slowed down, your breaths harsh, you embraced Guy. 

“Is this now enough to make you stay?” he asked. 

You looked up from his chest, and smiled. “What do you think?” 

“And maybe I have more reason.” Guy reached across to the ring you had placed on his table and held it to you. “I want you to have this…and be my wife.”

[universe-on-her-shoulders]

Prompt: Clara Oswald discovers her braided wig that she once wore back when she and 12 went to visit Robin Hood among a chest of drawers. She puts it on and shows the Doctor, who is utterly mesmerized and lovestruck by how the wig enhances her beauty.

"Think fast."

The Doctor had milliseconds to react, his hands coming up into a vaguely defensive position as he anticipated an attack of some kind, but instead he found himself snagging a tangle of brown hair from mid-air and frowning at it in consternation, attempting to work out if it was in some way dangerous.

"Why have you thrown your hair at me?" he asked Clara as she descended the steps from the upper level of the console room, grinning as she approached. "Why isn't it on your head? Did you get bored again? We've talked about that. No sharp objects when you're bored."

"You're not exactly in a position to talk. Remember the shaved head and the rocket fins?"

"Remember who therefore managed to smuggle a TARDIS key past Tasha Lem."

Clara grimaced, wrinkling her nose, and he knew he'd won; as he appraised her, he realised abruptly that her hair appeared to still be on her head, and that this was therefore some kind of wig. "Alright, you can have that one."

"Why am I holding your hair?"

"It's from when we met Robin Hood," she said, taking it from him and shaping it with her hands until it vaguely resembled the hairstyle he recalled from Nottingham. "I found it in the wardrobe."

"You were meant to be-"

"Finding an outfit for the coronation, I know. I got sidetracked."

"Clearly," he couldn't help but feel a lingering stab of discomfort at the memory of their time with Robin; he recalled with absolute clarity the terrible, agonising few moments in which he'd thought her dead.

"Don't be like that," Clara rolled her eyes, misinterpreting his silence. "Don't get all green-eyed."

"I'm not green-eyed," he assured her, mostly truthfully; perhaps some resentment lingered at her absolute giddiness around Robin. "Just remembering how it felt to watch you die."

There was a beat of silence, and then she wrapped her arms around him, and he let out a long breath, relaxing into her embrace.

"Sorry," she mumbled, as he extricated an arm and reciprocated the hug. "Should've thought. Not planning on dying any time soon though. Promise."

"I'll hold you to that."

"You can sue me if I do. Inflicting emotional distress."

"Deal."

Robin Hood (1973)

There's something to be said for brevity.

The Disney imagining of the Robin Hood tale cuts right to the chase, trimming fat with a blade even more accurate than our favorite charitable outlaw with a bow and arrow. Oh, Robin Hood and Marian need to get hitched by the end? Well, there’s nothing like a classic childhood crush background to fast-track that particular plot thread, and when in doubt a quick shot of them giving each other fuck-me eyes to rival those of Nala in The Lion King can help eliminate confusion. Know that there’s a famous contest where Robin Hood wins a golden arrow while in disguise? Let’s just skip to the good stuff. King Richard shows up at the end to set everything aright? If anything, this is the most honest adaptation in that it makes no bones about how arbitrary and ludicrous the ending is: one scene Robin Hood is bedraggled in a moat, the next we’re seeing his wanted poster being exonerated. King Bro shows up, kicks out John, and lets Robin Hood get hitched with Marian, bada bing, bada boom. Does it give big “oops we ran out of budget” type of energy? Sure. But it gets us through. Far more focus is lavished on sight gags and endless chases (which are recycled in the opening credits), but you know what? We’re here to see silly animals whack each other and possibly experience strange feelings about that rakishly handsome fox, so it’s all good here.

Little John pulling on bloomers while getting into drag for the opening fortune teller scam against King John somehow makes the movie’s Winnie the Pooh wardrobe situation all the more horrifying. When dealing with cartoon anthropomorphic animals, a certain degree of outfit ambiguity can be expected. But it’s when there are wild variations or deviations that that movie can give one pause. Some citizens of Nottingham go without trousers, others seem to favor an open-front concept. I suppose in a world where Sir Hiss can don a little capelet and nothing else and still be royal advisor, all bets are off. One thing’s for sure, though: the traveling minstrel Alan-A-Dale is definitely winning the Best Dressed contest, iconic tunic of our hero notwithstanding. Though aside from his opening ballad, he really ought to up his lyrical effort.

Lackeys of King John shooting at children in cold blood aside, there lurk some shockingly metal moments at the heart of this otherwise lighthearted and charming affair. Upon our introduction to Marian and her handmaid, the women’s first act is to role-play fucking regicide with the random kids who showed up in their garden. I mean, don’t mince your words about how you feel about your uncle and all…

THE RULES

SIP

Someone says 'tax'.

Sir Hiss sustains what should probably be a fatal injury.

hi hi hi! this is @/cptainjones ! what is your real/fake au? 👀👀

Beloved new OUAT mutual HIIIIII~~~<3

SO fake/real is a ridiculous AU fic series that @naivesilver probably makes look a lot cooler and more fascinating than it probably is...

Sooooo way back in 2017 or whenever season 6 first aired, I watched the episodes that first introduced the idea of the Wish Realm. And, at the time, I felt so frustrated by two things: 1) that everyone in the Wish Realm was treated like they weren't real (and that they were treated this way by both the characters in canon AND by the show as a whole (until they decided to utilise the WR again in Season 7)). and 2) that Wish!Robin was brought back through the wardrobe and just...hated it immediately and was eventually sent back to the Wish Realm ANYWAY. So, I decided I wanted to write a fic dedicated to some of the (Season 6) Wish Realm characters.

The main concept of the fic was that Wish!Robin would stay behind in the Wish Realm, rather than leaving with Regina and Emma. It started off as a one shot that mostly involved WR!Pinocchio and Robin having a slightly awkward conversation with one another about being 'real' (or...fake) and the fic was originally supposed to end there. As a one shot.

Then Nottingham got involved...and it evolved into something longer. And then it evolved again...and again...and now it's a very long and bizarre AU set entirely in the Wish Realm.

Main characters include the Wish Realm versions of: Robin, Pinocchio, Lizard (from Wonderland), Lampwick (from Pinocchio), Henry and Rumple. Also Peter Pan.

It's a very self indulgent series that allows me to write some bizarre and intricate backstories for various pre-existing characters and a couple of OCs as they journey through the WR. Each chapter is structured as though it were an episode of the show, sometimes involving character flashbacks, sometimes not (although it's still written in regular prose and not in a script format or anything like that). It's a fic where I try and fix canon plot holes that irritated me (see: Why didn't Robin OR Nottingham age in the WR??), whilst simultaneously making brand new plot holes for myself <3

It's a fic kind of about a bunch of lonely bastards trying to find a bit of meaning in their life. Lots of action/adventure and angst. A little bit of comedy and romance here and there. Some betrayal. Sea monsters and mermaids. Captain Nemo is also here. Cruella de Vil shows up a little later. They all spend a lot of time on various boats (no Killian though, sorry! I didn't want to mess with his own timeline involving Alice and Season 7 plot). Warlord Bo Peep gets a mention. Technically Willy Wonka is also in this AU, although he's never mentioned by name, only alluded to briefly in book 2.

Truthfully, I always find fake/real a really hard thing to describe. It's a project very close to my heart but it is REALLY fucking niche and weird, I won't deny that :')

@blackarrcw // Elyssa & Relta — Private Verse

Crown Princess of Lunaruz, Princess Relta, was being shown to her chambers in Nottingham Castle by her fleet of ladies-in-waiting. She was there to marry Prince John, much as she loathed her father for forcing this union. She was disgusted by what she knew the Prince had done to England, and its people, and found him repugnant as a person.

Upon opening the door to her chambers, Relta’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw a beautiful brunette hanging up some of the “more English” dresses she’d been gifted by the Prince. “Hello,” she said after clearing her throat to announce her presence, giving a curtesy of respect to the woman as she respected those of all classes.

There was no denying who Relta was by how she held herself and dressed, so she didn’t introduce herself quite yet. It could be that this woman was in fact there to kill her or something else nefarious, but Relta didn’t get that inclination from the woman. She simply always had to be wary. Plus, her portrait had been sent to the castle — eliciting crude comments from Vaisey about her beauty and ‘innocent look’.

“May I help you with my wardrobe?” She offered, walking over to Elyssa and dismissing her other ladies-in-waiting. “The dresses look rather…heavy,” she observed, then noticed Elyssa’s slightly pointed ears. An elf! Or at least part elf. Elves had lived on Lunaruz in the past, but had left due to avoiding a war ancient Lunaruz had been roped into, so they were now things of legend.

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 145th Tilt

William Wallace, Braveheart (1995) VS. George, The Sherriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)

Propaganda

William Wallace, Braveheart (1995) Portrayed by: Mel Gibson

“Just look at this man's muscular body—standing still, charging across a battlefield, doesn't matter, it's hot. And then listen to his accent—I don't know if it's accurate but it sure is delightful and hot. We don't get to see him smiling or soft a lot, but whenever he does, he looks so charming.”

George, The Sherriff of Nottingham, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) Portrayed by: Alan Rickman

“Robin who? The Sheriff is *obviously* the star of this movie, stealing every scene as the funnest, most sneeringly evil villain you could imagine, with a luxuriant mane, a fabulous goth wardrobe, and a voice that'll send shivers down your spine.”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For William Wallace:

“He' has an absurdly huge sword and he's Scottish. Also blue face paint, for some reason”

For The Sheriff:

“The Sheriff of Nottingham was the highlight of this subpar retelling of the adventures of Robin Hood. The film almost flopped before he entered the scene.

“He single-handedly saved that film - he oozes bad boy sex appeal”

“No, the character was not hot in personality but apparently they gave Alan Rickman total freedom with his portrayal & let him improvise & he was fucking hilarious & stole the show”

quick favorites go!!

animal, scent, color, season, food, video game, book, place, weather, temperature, texture, alcoholic drink, soda, board game, tv show, music artist

this or that

lace/silk, cloudy/sunny, tea/coffee, korean food/thai food, cat/dog, pop music/rock music, leather jacket/denim jacket, rings/necklaces, pastel/neon, italian food/mexican food, candy/ice cream, loud/quiet, beach/mountain,

FAVORITES

animal: dragon (cat)

scent: Vanilla

color: Blue/purple (depends on the day)

season: Hmmmmm...tough call but I'm gonna say winter

food: Chili!

video game: current top spot is held by Metroid Dread.

book: as mentioned the other day...I think it has to be The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, TBQH

place: Lake [REDACTED] in Massachusetts.

weather: hehe thunderstorms...

temperature: a solid 55 degrees Farenheit

texture: honestly I think machined ultem has a really really pleasant texture to it, like seaglass, it's really nice, I have a kbone and a plank and a begleri set that all includes the stuff because it's so nice to fiddle with

alcoholic drink: Buffalo Trace bourbon. Maker's Mark and Eagle Rare are also nice (as is that one local lemon beer that I forget the name of, and the Montauk Brewery stuff), but Buffalo Trace has held that position for about six years now

soda: Cokey-Cola. Coke. The Refreshing Taste Of An Ice-Cold Cocal-Cola™.

board game: prolly Sheriff of Nottingham, if not Skull, but also Ticket to Ride, Hanamikoji, and Radlands get shout-outs as well for being that damn good.

tv show: Currently still held by The Expanse, although I did very much enjoy Reacher and Dungeon Meshi is currently not counted until it's over but it might just well take the spot from The Expanse.

music artist: Oooooh, this is tricky but given her latest EP release I'm gonna go with bad snacks, she's just...such a good producer, every release from her is just...*chef's kiss*

EITHER/OR

lace/silk: silk, silk is real nice, v smooth, nice on the hands, I have a few begleri sets strung up with it for this exact purpose (one of my favorites is machine ultem outer shells on silk cording with steel and titanium inserts for weight and polish, it's a set that cost me like $60 to put together but it's probably my second-favorite set I own)

cloudy/sunny: cloudy, but sunny *does* give me excuses to wear my sunglasses, so I can't complain about either, really

tea/coffee: Tea. Don't like coffee all that much outside of a few specific edge cases.

korean food/thai food: Korean.

cat/dog: Yes. But also cats.

pop music/rock music: Electronic music.

leather jacket/denim jacket: Leather (one day I will get myself one)

rings/necklaces: Yes. Add some bracelets to the set while you're at it.

pastel/neon: Yes.

italian food/mexican food: I think as a New Yorker I have to say Italian by law. But both are good.

candy/ice cream: Sweet cream ice cream pls

loud/quiet: Headphones, so I can control which one.

beach/mountain: mountain, easily, beaches have sand and Anakin Skywalker was right.
