Propaganda

Diana Rigg (On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The Assassination Bureau, A Midsummer Night’s Dream)—Though she may be most famous across the pond for her Game of Thrones-era career, here on her native soil she is an icon of the 60s and female empowerment! Arguably best known for slaying as Emma Peel in The Avengers, her biggest pop culture legacy is definitely playing the only woman Bond truly loved - Tracy di Vincenzo - and absolutely stealing the movie (OHMSS) from under George Lazenby’s nose. The Assassination Bureau is also an extremely fun and underrated period adventure film where her boundless energy and wit is better matched by Oliver Reed. She excelled at playing alluring women with a sense of humour and darker complications underneath. Undoubtedly one of England’s most lovable, intelligent, funny, sexy and unforgettable actresses of all time, I entreat you VOTE PRINCESS DI !!

Barbra Streisand (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly)—I love her smile!! I love her nose!! I love her Brooklyn accent!! She's hilarious and gorgeous and real!!! I love her sense of humor! I love her voice!

This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

Diana Rigg:

"She lived with a director/partner/boyfriend for eight years in the 60s and told the tabloid press '[I have no desire] to be respectable'"

Barbra Streisand propaganda:

"If you want to know why I’m submitting her, you’ll just have to read her 900 page memoir My Name is Barbra. It’ll explain everything!"

Lovely, smart, funny and a GORGEOUS VOICE

have you seen her? she could sing and dance and i love her so much in funny girl

Her most famous movie line is telling herself “Hello Gorgeous,” what else can I say lol. One of the most famous Hollywood divas of our time, who’s still alive and going strong. All of her outfits in Funny Girl are also soooo pretty. Plus she got to act alongside Omar Sharif, who was in the Vintage Men Poll.

She IS the greatest star! Her voice! Her eyes! She has one of the most stunning profiles I've ever seen. Talent in SPADES! (And honestly, as a wlw it's disingenuous to ignore it - a truly beautiful cleavage)

Hear me out-

A Muppet’s Midsummer Night’s Dream

Theseus, Hippolyta, Lysander, Hermia, Helena and Demetrius are all esteemed Shakespearean actors who keep to the original script, whilst all the fairies and some of the mechanicals are muppets muppeting about with the occasional soliloquy.

I present to you my vision:

Gonzo as Oberon

Believe me when I tell you Gonzo has RANGE. I think his background as an alien will help him embody the more mystical elements of Oberon and we know from his performance as the narrator in a Muppets Christmas Carol he’s a natural leading man.

Rizzo as Puck

Name a more iconic duo than Gonzo and Rizzo the rat? You can’t- of course you fucking can’t. Their chemistry is off the charts, celestial dare I say, platonic soulmates the like of which us mere mortals cannot comprehend. On top of the incredible back and forth they’ll bring to Oberon and Puck, Rizzo has a sense of mischief and is just the right amount of a whimsy can’t do nothing right boy to bring a really endearing vision of Puck to the stage.

Miss Piggy as Titania

Is it controversial to pair up Miss Piggy with someone who’s not her usual leading man? Sure, but bear with me I have a vision. Oberon and Titania are at odds for most of the play and I can definitely see a world in which Miss Piggy beats his ass in front of all the other fairies. Also the role of a glamorous ethereal queen? Are you kidding? Miss Piggy is going to body this role heart and soul.

Kermit as Bottom

Remember when I told you to bear with me? I would never break up a duo like Kermit and his beloved Miss Piggy, are you mad? Bottom and Titania spend the whole play smooching and mucking about with the fairies, not only do these two have the chemistry but it also gives Miss Piggy a chance to serenade her beloved Kermie. The casting also works on a meta level with Kermit playing an over ambitious actor somewhat hemmed in by an eccentric troupe. The only question is with the iconic transformation scene, do we cast a human actor who turns into Kermit, or do we just have regular ole Kermit with some donkey ears? I need the thoughts of the public desperately.

The Mechanicals:

Fozzie Bear as Snug

Waka, waka

Beaker as Francis Flute

Literally his worst nightmare is playing Thisbe.

Pepe the Prawn as Robin Starveling

Just a weird lil guy pretending to be moonlight

Bunsen as Tom Snout

Tom Snouts a tinker- plus he can do Pyramus and Thisbe’s special effects

Scooter as Peter Quince

Typical theatre manager energy.

The Fairies:

The Chickens as Titania’s Attendants

To be honest I can see the Henson company making a lot of cool original puppets for the fairies but you can’t have the muppets without some dancing chickens.

Janice and Animal should also get special cameos as Peaseblossom and Mustardseed respectively and naturally Waldorf and Statler show up to heckle Pyramus and Thisbe at the end.

Disney- make it happen

[winternymphaea]

nymphaea's film recs ✧˖°.

a midsummer night's dream (1999) a film full of ethereal whimsy and beautiful actors covered in body glitter. what more is there to say? ♡

picnic at hanging rock (1975) a hauntingly beautiful film that I watched as a child, it always stuck with me and I never heard those pan flutes the same, without feeling some chill rush up my spine. the film is about a group of girls who go missing on a valentine's day school trip.

daisies (1966) an experimental, surrealist journey of being a teenage girl.

rusalochka (1976) a dreamy, soviet fantasy film based off the little mermaid fairytale by hans christian anderson.

the love witch (2016) an iconic film that feels like it's been around for decades, about a witch with a desire for love. very lana del rey coded. a must-watch, in my opinion!

ophelia (2018) a retelling of hamlet told through ophelia's eyes, with beautiful costumes and a beautiful soundtrack!

pride & prejudice (2005) a forever classic in my heart. just the perfect period romance film! ♡

Which of the 16 character archetypes is your OC? + Outfit

Tagged by @raresvtm @cloudofbutterflies92 for both and by @valyrra for outfits (i tag you for the archtype quiz)

The trickster

No legends will be written about you, but you deserve a place in them anyway. Although most think of the hero, villain, or mentor archetypes, you may be even more iconic or liked. Before storytellers were repeating tales of Beowulf and King Arthur, they were gathering around the fire listening to stories about Coyote, Raven, and the spider god Anansi. You don't classify as necessarily good nor evil, you follow your own agenda and do whatever you need to accomplish that free of black/white morals. You probably stan antiheroes and antivillains. You are in the company of Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Loki from Norse mythology.

Which of the 16 Main Archetypes is your OC?

Browsing uquiz and decided to take this quiz for my boys and start a tag chain!

The Outlaw

You're fiercely independent with a sense of self that keeps you from bending to societal constraints. Okay, so you don't make a lot of friends, but the ones you do have are loyal and have similar values. Other characters do resent you, but they have a secret jealously of your freedom and absolute disregard for their hierarchies. For example, the Sheriff of Nottingham (from Robin Hood) expresses his hidden envy of a life that he could never have. Other outlaws in literature are Roux from Chocolat by Joanne Harris, and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin.

The Damsel

You don't necessarily have to be female to get this result. You are one of the rarer types on this website, representing innocence, naivety, inexperience, and trust. You know there's bad in the world. but you've never given up on the good and cling to this even when bad things around you threaten to rip it away. Your positivity is unstoppable and you know there is always hope and wonder to be found in the world. You are in the company of Alice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Tiny Tim from Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

The Trickster

No legends will be written about you, but you deserve a place in them anyway. Although most think of the hero, villain, or mentor archetypes, you may be even more iconic or liked. Before storytellers were repeating tales of Beowulf and King Arthur, they were gathering around the fire listening to stories about Coyote, Raven, and the spider god Anansi. You don't classify as necessarily good nor evil, you follow your own agenda and do whatever you need to accomplish that free of black/white morals. You probably stan antiheroes and antivillains. You are in the company of Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Loki from Norse mythology.

The Hero

You think you're strong. Well, you have to be strong. You're some flavor of goodness, you're a defender and an avenger and an attacker all at once. The world isn't a kind place and some part of you cries at that. The others don't. You're tested, every day, every week, and you keep picking the morally right choices, yet it feels like you never get rewarded for that. People think you're flawless, but you don't think you are. You have too many regrets, and you always think you could've done more. You are in the company of Wonder Woman, Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, and many more heroes.

Helena - A Midsummer Night's Dream, 1999

[besttropeveershowdown]

The SECOND Best Trope Ever Showdown: Round 1, Side C, Poll 5

Show Within A Show

A fictional work has another fictional work within it.

Propaganda:

HEAR ME OUT PEOPLE: "Show Within a Show" is usually the moment where I go batshit insane. Life imitates art, and art imitates life, and the show within a show is USUALLY where the author sticks in a very nice metaphor or symbol or another instance of a motif that from a literary analysis perspective is Awesome. Plot-wise, it can also be very fun. Think of anime protagonists putting on a play for their school festival! That counts! Think of Hamlet putting on "The Murder of Gonzago" to trigger his Uncle into basically confessing his guilt! Think of literally the entirety of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead! Show Within a Show is where you get to do some serious digging, some serious analysis, or you just get to watch performers performing performance. It also adds depth and new dimensions to characters that can just seem...tired. The "Itchy and Scratchy Show" and everything about Krusty the Klown from the Simpsons fits into this category. Krusty is a fucking MESS but you need the show within a show to explain why; otherwise, he's just a boring sad clown. Sometimes it's integral to the plot; sometimes it's just fun. It's a jack-of-all-trades kind of trope. Other examples of a Show Within a Show: The Goes Wrong Show, with its entire premise being that it is a show within a show. Pyramus and Thisbe from Midsummer Night's Dream. Singing in the Rain. Cabaret. Galaxy Quest. I Saw The TV Glow. I could name more examples, but I think I've proved my point.

Courtroom Episode

A (usually standalone) episode (or issue/chapter/quest etc depending on the medium) that features a court case, based in a piece of media that isn't otherwise focused on such things

Propaganda:

I love a good legal drama (or comedy, or thriller) and it's fun seeing other media genre-shift temporarily to take one on. For TV specifically, there's some really iconic standalone courtroom episodes out there, too, and generally it makes for a good one-off episode format for more episodic series that do themed episodes

Kicking off the quarterfinals, two of the most iconic comedies go head-to-head! Who will emerge victorious, the whimsical fairy tale nature of Midsummer or the more down-to-earth antics of Much Ado? Remember to keep any debate in the notes kind and civil, and may the best play win!

Random shit about Snow!! (again)

Getting tagged by @cloudofbutterflies92 💖💖💖 (Thank you so much!! 🥺)

This is how Snow looked during her day off hehehe. (she somehow always wear too much layers-)

Also there's Snow and Me (my family always say I have gloomy vibe-)

the silence of the moon, and all those who pray to it

there is peace among the wreck. the universe is vast and unending, with so much love hidden in its crevices. you are the secret in the darkness, waiting to bring a sense of calm to those who find you. you are selfless, listening with patience, a place of safety despite the chaos. you are the connection between strangers, all wishing for something better.

let me assign you a bullshit aesthetic

You Get One Count of Arson Before You're Dubbed as a Pyromaniac (or something along those lines).

Nothing on this Earth will stop me from picking at the skin on my lips, I like it when they split. You might not be murderers but you reckon you could be. Love is held in teeth and skin and tongues and blood. Concrete mattresses and storms that won't end for months. Cigarettes that look like they've been rolled by a fucking five year old. Fingerless gloves look hot as shit but they don't keep your fingers warm and that kinda sucks. Red box dye and black nail polish. Maybe a new, cheap jacket would fix your problems. Time doesn't exist and you sleep through the days. Everything is filthy clean when the witching hour hits.

(This one kinda accurate because Snow always wear fingerless gloves and she has black nails polish)
