#a winner crowned!

[hotvintagepoll]

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.

A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.

What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy the two weeks off, and send me some great propaganda.

Rachel's game is much more impressive than Sam's on paper but she was also so much more lucky than he was and was blindsided way more, so tbh I don't think either them is too much more deserving than the other (Although I do like Rachel a lot more than Sam and would prefer her to win)

“if not for izanagi, obito would be dead, so he lost”

if not for konan’s crucial knowledge of obito’s abilites, she’d be dead, so she lost.

if tenten was the nine tails, she’d be super powerful, so she’s the most powerful character.

“if x character didn’t have {insert important asset in their arsenal}, they’d be dead, so they’re weak.”

using this logic, we can discredit or uplift any character. literally what’s the point

i know the point of the fight between armand and louis in san francisco isn't about "who wins" but it's baffling to me that people think louis "won" that argument. armand's last words made louis want to kill himself 😭 that's the definition of winning a fight i think

<Grian> you won

Ja'Marr vs Tee

tee comes in at around 3:28:00 (as thequiet1ne in the black and white shirt guy with the football on top, 2k startsl labeling him with his full name at 3:36:00), and he rage-quits at around 4:12:00

the 3v3 battles really start at like 3:51:00 tho.

special shout-out to 3:57:43 when tee scored the game-winning point ("i don't care tee, you fucking suck for that") and 3:59:30 when ja'marr cooked tee (apparently tee was apparently begging on his stream).

WAIT WAIT WAIT

DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY

YOU HAVE HORSES?????

I HAVE HORSES TOO

I do have one! Her barn name is Mina and she's a 16hh off-track Thoroughbred I purchased from a kill buyer friendly auction a few years ago. She turns twenty-one in the spring and has survived being shot and having a broken leg all after a lengthy racing career. She's still so feisty and is a fantastic trail companion. <3

It's so cool that you have horses. I don't know very many people who do!

Holy shit, point and laugh

I don’t really go on Reddit anymore, deleted mine four years and have been healthier for it, but I was looking for a contact of anyone on the organising committee of the Welsh music prize, that landed me from Google to r/wales and then… whatever the fuck this is. I’m getting secondhand embarrassment reading even just the headline. Urgh. Also just ‘why does the UK sound more sophisticated than the pooey colonies’ *forgets that a lot of commonwealth colonial accents came from the native languages of colonised speakers…

But for realisies though, who is on the Welsh Music Prize organising committee and can I send them an email
