You're such a great writer! Could you share your writing history with us? Like what got you started, what kind of writers or stories inspired your "writing voice", the little things you enjoy writing, the things you struggle with, maybe what inspired you to do writing prompts/asks? GIVE US THE DEETS, FRIENDO. YOU'RE COOL.

Thank you so much! It means so much to me that you like my writing! With what got me started, I don't really know to be honest, I remember loving reading fanfic and just deciding to try my hand out at it and it turned out to be something that I actually really enjoyed doing!

My writing voice comes from my own inner monologue. So many of the fics I write, whenever I plan them, I think about how I would react or act in that kind of situation and kind of let it go from there and hope that it turns out well.

I love writing the cute fluffy moments and the moments when the characters get to say something really meaningful because I feel so proud that my little brain managed to think of it! I guess the things I struggle with are probably smutty fics (which I still absolutely love writing) I just get in my head a little bit with it that all of my smut fics end up sounding the same so I think they're the one's I'm always the most nervous about posting.

I decided to start taking requests because I love requesting things myself and I know how happy it makes me when I see a fic that I requested get posted and I wanted to be able to do that for people! It's also really nice to share my love of different characters/actors (especially Austin and all of his characters!) with people that love him in the same way! For me, writing fics is such a fulfilling way of relaxing for me because I can just immerse myself in the fic I'm creating.

I hope that was the kind of thing that you were looking for and thank you so so much for asking! It's been really nice to sit and actually think about why I do this :)

Week ending: 13th April

Back to a more manageable number of songs this week, thank goodness - and it's two returning artists, including one we really haven't heard from for quite some time. Will Elvis have lost his edge? Or will he have come back from the army with a new sound locked and loaded? I guess we'll find out, after this first song...

Do You Mind? - Anthony Newley (peaked at Number 1)

Anthony's a fairly recent chart fixture, but we've had quite a few of his songs, and he's got a definite vibe laready - he does rock and roll, but with a really distinctive, careful-sounding voice, and a kind of reserve. And you've got all that in bucketfuls here, as Anthony asks you oh-so-politely if I say I love you / Do you mind? / Make an idol of you / Do you mind? He really wants to lavish affection on you, but only if you don't mind. If you do mind, just let him know, and he'll stop. It's the sort of thing that could come off as a bit flippant, but there's a feeling of earnest sincerity to Anthony's voice here. You really do get the feel that if you minded, he probably would back off. It's sweet.

There are also all these little vocal touches that I quite like, here, from the slightly unsteady wobbles on longer notes, to the cute little if I say I love yah bit, to the way his voice his voice creaks slightly on the sweet nothings line. They're small things, hard to pin down, but they all give a sort of vulnerability and authenticity to it all. Anthony's no showboating honey-voiced idol, he's got a voice that sounds "real". And all that's complemented by a relatively minimal accompaniment that's mostly just a steady finger-snapping and some little guitar touches, all mixed fairly quietly in the background, the better to let Anthony's voice stand out above it.

The whole thing was written by one Lionel Bart, whose name seemed familiar to me - and indeed, after a bit of research, it turns out that he was the songwriter behind the musical Oliver, and also behind some less glorious songs that we've already, such as Little White Bull (yikes) and Living Doll (also yikes). But yeah, he was mostly a writer for musicals, and yes, if you squint I reckon there is something rather musical theatre-lite about Anthony's style, with its emphasis on character and emotion, and little clever lyrical turns, like "kisses" rhyming with "this is".

Stuck on You - Elvis Presley (3)

And then, the return of the King - after two years of military service, and only one or two new songs, Elvis is back, and he's back with a bang, with a goofy romp that's got everything you'd expect from an Elvis record. You've got a chugging, bluesy piano and guitar beat, you've got Elvis' classic uh-huh-huh ad libs, you've got lyrics about just being head-over heels in love, all of it wrapped up in a metaphor about how I'm gonna stick like glue / Because I'm stuck on you. The rhythm and the little pause Elvis does on the title lyric are more than a little reminiscent of All Shook Up. And of course, you've got lots of little folksy similes illustrating it all, moments where Elvis promises to squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear, or compares splitting him and his love up to trying to take a tiger from his daddy's side - simply not possible, if the tiger isn't willing. So yes, this is a very typical Elvis record, and it's fine. Good fun, even.

In some ways this is interesting, too, because Elvis has been out of the game for two years - and in the meantime, pop and rock and roll music has changed, with a rise in more consciously "teenage" songs and teen idols, plus an increased amount of softer, gentler pop songs. There are other smaller changes, too, including but not limited to the sort of guitar sounds you're hearing and an increase in Buddy Holly-style pizzicato strings. And yet, in the face of all of this, Elvis turns in a track that's basically "same old same old". And it works - this song goes to Number 3 in the UK and Number 1 in the US, and the excitement around Elvis' return more generally is such that his train from New Jersey, where he left the army, to Tennessee got mobbed by fans, and Elvis had to keep getting out to appear and appease the fans. So yeah, Elvis didn't need to do anything new or groundbreaking to sell records, it seemed - leave the innovation for other artists, Elvis has his niche, and it works, people are clearly going for it.

And yet, for all that it is well-made, I'm not personally so thrilled about this one. Partly that's just because it sounds like literally every other Elvis number. It's got energy, but not too much energy, Elvis is giving it welly, but not too much welly, it's fast, but not too fast, and the whole just things sounds a bit like an off-brand version of All Shook Up. I genuinely had to check this wasn't a repeat, that's how familiar it feels. There's nothing wrong with Stuck On You, but there's not much that makes it stand out from literally everything else Elvis did. Which is a shame, for Elvis' triumphant return from the army, but there you have it.

I didn't mind either of this week's songs, but I think the newcomer has to take it, over the returning veteran - I was charmed by Anthony's performance, and I liked how different he sounds to everyone else out there. Meanwhile, Elvis has come back to a world where everyone's already doing a pretty credible Elvis impression, and has decided to join the ranks with a mid-tempo, meh kind of song. It's not bad, but it's definitely the less interesting listen, this week. So...

Favourite song of the bunch: Do You Mind?

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.

How to Support People With Faceblindness/Prosopagnosia Online

This isn't super important. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only faceblind person whose response to not recognizing people was to stop caring about celebrities (and most live action). Unless it's an important political post, we're unlikely to NEED to recognize a random image on Tumblr. But if it you have the energy, this really helps:

Caption photos with the names of whoever is in them. Even if it's someone like Elvis Presley or Donald Trump, who EVERYONE recognizes.

I can't consistently recognize Marilyn Monroe. And I don't want reassurance that she looks just like someone else, so you understand. There will be someone you don't understand, and I still won't be able to recognize them. I'm bad at faces.¹

-

I notice that reaction images are especially hard for me. People LOVE seeing how much context they can remove while still leaving a reaction image recognizable. I have to guess that the zoomed-in eyes are probably still the Obama reaction image from years back. They're just eyes to me. Even normal reaction images are hard if they don't have distinct enough poses.

If you can mention the person's name in the alt text or a caption below your reaction image, it would help a lot.

-

This doesn't apply to people whose names aren't well known. If their identity isn't adding to the meaning, I don't care who it is.

For example:

With the 'then perish' Obama meme, part of the humour is that the then-president is the one telling us to die. So mentioning that it's him aids my understanding of the meme.

With 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat', mentioning that the actor is Michael Bluth, or that the scene is from Arrested Development, allows me to go find out the context if I want to know more. (Which might have stopped me from distributing misinformation to thousands of people about the meaning of the phrase!)

As far as I can tell, the fact that the 'snakes started manifesting' guy is named Uhrie Anthony is NOT particularly important to the meme. I don't need to recognize him from somewhere else to understand what's going on.

-

I don't struggle nearly as much with cartoon characters. Just live-action/real people. Not sure if there are faceblind people that will struggle that way. It's still nice to get context for where some anime character is from, but it doesn't affect me the same way as seeing a random blond woman on my dash, and trying to figure out if she's a singer, an actor, an activist, or something else completely.

-

¹ I'm not annoyed, just trying to support those who struggle with reading comprehension. This isn't about the individual people I'm mentioning. It's about my ability to recognize ANYONE.
