Propaganda

Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I'm sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn't enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don't you?

Marilyn Monroe (How to Marry a Millionaire, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot)— Ngl I thought you all were lying about sexual attraction until I saw Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

This is round 6 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.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Hedy Lamarr:

The only person you can find both on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and in the Inventor's Hall of Fame--her radio-frequency-hopping technology forms the basis for cordless phones, wi-fi, and a dozen other aspects of modern life. She was also passionate in her efforts to aid the Allies in WWII (unsurprising for a Jewish-Austrian Emigree to America), and her name served as the backbone for one of the best running jokes in what is possibly Mel Brooks' best movie. Look, Louis B. Mayer apparently believed he could plausibly promote her as "The world's most beautiful woman". Is an entire website full of people going to be less audacious than one Louis B. Mayer? I didn't think so!

Described as "Hedy has the most incredible personal sophistication. She knows the peculiarly European art of being womanly; she knows what men want in a beautiful woman, what attracts them, and she forces herself to be these things. She has magnetism with warmth, something that neither Dietrich nor Garbo has managed to achieve" by Howard Sharpe, she managed to escape her controlling husband (and Nazi Germany) by a) Disguising as her maid and fleeing to Paris or b) Convincing the husband to let her wear all of her jewelry to a dinner, only to disappear afterwards. Also she was particularly clever and helped develop Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (I can't really explain it but anyway...)

Her depiction of Delilah and Samson and Delilah just lives rent free in my head. The woman was gorgeous.

One of the most beautiful women ever in film, spoken by many critics and fans. Beautiful shapely figure, deeper seductive voice, and often played femme fatale roles. She was also brilliant and an inventor. Mainly self-taught, she invested her spare time, including on set between takes, in designing and drafting inventions, which included an improved traffic stoplight and a tablet that would dissolve in water to create a flavored carbonated drink, and much more.

Gorgeous and brilliant pioneer of modern technology and the middle part.

Marilyn Monroe:

She's amazing!!! A classic bombshell, as well as a strong women who overcame so many obstacles. She also advocated for others, like Ella Fitzgerald.

That fucking saxophone that cuts in whenever she appears on screen in Some Like it Hot

I mean, it's Marilyn Monroe. She's adorable. She's gorgeous. She funny. She's the total package

She's the original American sex symbol, an iconic beautiful woman with eyes you could get lost in, legs for days, gorgeous hair, and a cute tummy. Her voice! Just listen to her voice!!!!!

She is considered one of THE sex symbols of the 1960s and one of the greatest actresses of all time! She HAS to be on this list!

no vintage movie woman is more iconically hot

People are most familiar with pictures of her in the white dress or the Happy Birthday Mr President one, but imo she is at her most beautiful and looks most comfortable when she is photographed by women like Eve Arnold

It’s Marilyn Monroe. If Aphrodite was an actual person, she’d be Marilyn. Do I really need to say more?

What can I say that hasn't been said? Marilyn's legacy is so much bigger than she was in life. She's a defining symbol of 50s and 60s Hollywood sex and it's obvious why. She was absolutely stunning and the camera loved her.

HELLO!!! Maybe in the second part there's some drama 🫣 Maybe a dating scandal with another person and Joost is heartbroken but Y/n is like No, I only like Joost!! And Y/n reaches out to him first and apologizes for all the drama and he asks her to come to one of his concerts??

LET ME THINK...

pairing . Joost Klein x fem-celeb! reader

content . fluff, reader is an actress, you are addressed as 'reader', reader is the same age as joost, fake social media screenshots,

summary . you announce that you are a huge fan of Joost Klein in an interview... and he sees it! He just so happens to be a huge fan as well.

word count . 1,9k words, 10,8k characters, 3 screenshots

author's note . guys i did it, i wrote part two. there will be a part 3 (maybe a part 4!!). the part 3 will include the dating drama...!!! ALSO ME AND KÄÄRIJÄ HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY, LETSGO

You honestly couldn't believe it. That your celebrity crush just said you were cute. That he's too shy to talk to you??? You found this out when you were in a Café.

Finn decided to take you out to a nice, but little Café. A nice outing with his “older sister”, he said.

You and Finn were chatting about recent drama you both recalled when your famous friend, Ella Purnell, suddenly FaceTimed you. As you answered, she said her quick hello and mentioned something about Joost responding to your interview. However, her words were muffled by background noise, and you only caught Joost's name. "What are you talking about?" you asked, a sense of panic rising within you, hoping it might just be a prank call.

Meanwhile Ella, between her hair and makeup session with her crew, urged you to check Twitter. "He responded to you... you'll be pretty happy to hear what he said," she exclaimed. With a mixture of dread and curiosity, you glanced at Finn before hurriedly opening Twitter to investigate. As you navigated to the trending section, your heart sank as you read the top headline: "JOOST REPLIED."

“Ah, shit.” Finn checks Twitter as well. His jaw slightly drops, probably an inch down. “He saw it?” Ella hums at Finn's question, “He probably saw the interview right as it dropped.” Finn nodded.

You freeze as you click on the button, two tweets on your screening both saying that Joost Klein responded to Reader Lastname. You clicked on the clip attached to one of the tweets. It was Joost in his iconic blue spiked-shouldered suit. Appie and Stunje are barely on screen.

The video starts on by Joost speaking, "well, I am honestly very flattered that someone beautiful as her would be interested in me."

He continues, "When I saw the interview, I froze! She is one of my favorite actresses. Reader is amazing at her job!" The interviewer chuckled, "Oh! Well maybe you should message her!"

"No, no! I am too embarrassed to make the first move...

“But she is very pretty.”

You were in a state of frenzy, alternating between giggling uncontrollably and wiping your sweat that was on your forehead. You were also kicking Finn's legs in excitement. "Will you stop doing that?" Finn chuckled, clearly amused by your reaction. The video repeated, indicating that you watched the whole clip.

Both Ella and Finn witnessed your surprised expression. “Amazing, right? That means you have a chance!” Ella shouted, trying to make herself more audible over the commotion behind her. “I think I'm going to faint.”

Finn placed his hand on his own forehead, looking at the video one more time. Never before had you felt so embarrassed and dizzy in your life. “You should text him.” Finn smiles at his friend, placing his phone down on the table, lifting his fork. “You know what,”

You take a moment to think about it. Maybe you should make the first move. Well, you kind of had to, since Joost quote-ly wasn't.

“Alright, I'll text him-!” Ella and Finn cheered you on, “Atta girl!”

As you reached for your phone to check your contacts, a sudden realization washed over you.

"I don't have his number," you muttered, a sense of disappointment creeping in. Finn and Ella, who had been cheering you on moments before slowly, gradually fell silent. "Well, shit," Ella exclaimed, her tone reflecting a mix of frustration and disappointment.

She glanced away from her camera phone, redirecting her gaze to the mirror in front of her.

“You can't DM him on Instagram, he doesn't have them on.” You don't question how she knows that. Okay, maybe she might have tried to message him about you when the interview first dropped, but she couldn't.

“How am I going to contact him?” Finn raises his cup of coffee to his lips, “We have connections…?” Finn suggested a solution but you weren't listening because he explained it too fast, or maybe because it wasn't that good… Ella sighs fidgeting with her baby hairs, “We should ask around. To see if anyone is close to him.” Ella's suggestion was the best one out of the two.

She picked up her phone, you can hear Ella start typing, in search of finding friends that know friends that know friends that know Joost.

Finn unlocking his phone on his way to mass message all his contacts.

…

How long has it been?

It felt like an eternity, but in reality, only about twenty minutes had passed. All you wanted to do is talk to (maybe) your future boyfriend.

You got a message back from someone in your contacts.

The three of you have tons of connections that you just asked around if anyone had his number, and after what seems to feel like hours...

YOU GOT IT!

You got Joost Klein's number from mutual friends. Your old co-star is friends with a Greece singer who is also friends with this Finnish rapper named Käärijä.

And Käärijä is really close with Joost...!!!

You got Joost's number from Käärijä, “What should I say?” You asked Ella and Finn. Your palms were very sweaty, emphasis on very.

“A simple hi would be good.” Ella said smiling, you couldn't tell if she was making fun of you or not. “What if he finds it weird that I got his number through his friend?”

“How else would you get it? He's ‘too shy’ to make a move. You had to get it somehow.”

Finn finished taking the last sip of his coffee before saying that. He lifted his eyebrows indicating that you should agree with him. “You know he's right. His friend probably already told him that you have his number. What if he's waiting for you?” Ella teasing you to hit the send button of your text.

...

And she was right. Joost was pacing around his room as he got the news from Käärijä. That the most beautiful woman, Joost's words, is going to text him any minute now. “I don't think I'm ready.” He admitted aloud, the weight of anticipation and nerves settling heavily on his shoulders.

Joost has loved your movies and shows since your career started. You were a great actress and had an even greater personality from what he has seen online.

Also, when you revealed that you knew some Dutch in an interview… he loved you even more. “What!? Why… Do you not like her?”

Joost sighs and backtracks, “I do! I'm just nervous. How would I reply to her message?” Käärijä lets out an airy laugh. “I'm not sure… But you'll figure it out!!”

He was no help, thought Joost. He sighed when he heard Käärijä's advice. The two of you were a nervous wreck.

Käärijä spoke again after hearing Joost's depressed sigh, "I'll help you think of a response when she does text you."

“What if I mess this chance up with her?”

/

"What if he thinks I’m weird?"

The air was filled with worry. “I don’t know…” Finn rolled his eyes, telling you that if you don’t bag him now, someone else will.

You knew he was right, so you swallowed all your embarrassment.

“Maybe a simple explanation?” You ask your two friends before sending your text. “Yeah, whatever, just send it!” Ella couldn't wait anymore, rushing you to send the message already.

“Alright, alright!”

You typed out your message: “hey joost, it's reader! I got your number from a friend of yours. wanted to say hey and if you're down to talk ^^”

“Is that good? Oh god, maybe I should just say ‘hey’.” Ella rolls her eyes, slightly annoyed from your overthinking, “It's great. Don't overthink it,” Ella chuckles at a thought that popped in her head, “He's already getting you stressed out and you guys aren't even together yet.” Yet. That word made your stomach twist into several knots. You and Joost haven't had a proper conversation yet.

There were a lot of “yet”s in your thoughts. Finn snapped you out of them, saying, “Listen even if you mess this up, there are other fish in the sea, right? You don't even know him that well enough to be stressing this much.”

Was that advice the best? It was decent but he was also somewhat right!

“What great advice, Finn, be my therapist!” Ella makes a mockery at him just for a good laugh. She was successful on making you laugh quietly while staring at the now empty plate in front of you.

“Whatever, I'm always right.” Finn scoffs, tilting his head to the side. “If you don't want to text him you don't have to.” You look directly into his eyes, you weren't quite sure what to say. “Yeah but…

“I want to.”

You straighten your posture and click the send button. Your three letter message is sent within five seconds of you pressing the send button. “Did she actually do it!?”

Ella asks Finn, nodding yet she couldn't see, “Holy shit, she did it!” Finn cheered quietly for you. “You did it, Reader!” Ella claps her hands together, bringing her tied hands in front of where her heart would be.

“I feel better.” Ella smiles at your comment, “I'm glad you took the first step. I have to get going now! But text me when he responds! Cheers!” Ella quickly ends the call after you and Finn say your goodbye to her.

You smile at Finn, the knots in your stomach going away. “Want me to take a photo of you?” Finn asked as he unlocked his phone to go to the camera app. He swooped some of his hair, that was once in front of his forehead, behind his ears.

“Duh!" When he finished taking a photo of you in the green Café, you snapped a picture of him as well.

It was later in the day, around six pm from where you were currently located at, the nice cool air breezing through you and Finn. When you first sent your text to Joost, it was around ten am, making it seven pm in the Netherlands. It took him around ten minutes to respond to your first text. It was him reassuring you that he was down to chat.

The conversation lasted for a couple of hours, getting to know each other well enough within the four hours he had. The talk ended due to Joost having to go to bed, him being nine hours ahead of you was sure frustrating, you wanted to talk for a few more minutes but respected his goodbye. The rest of the day was traveling around with Finn.

You were in Finn's car, in a random semi-empty parking lot. A little takeout box on your lap. You were staring at the sky, having thoughts, little ones that weren't going to stick for a while.

Finn placed down his tiny bow on his lap as well. "What are you think about?" He snapped you out of your thoughts. "I think you know who I'm thinking about..." He smiled at you, nodding his head slowly as he looked away. "Should've known."

Finn sighed, "Just spit it out already!" He could tell something was bothering you, something that may involve a certain Dutch man. You shake your head. "It's nothing bad." You take a moment to yourself. "Just feel nervous."

You shifted in your seat, facing Finn that was in the driver's seat. "He's really nice, sweet, and just overall understanding! I know we only talked for, what- four hours? But he's pretty decent from what I had."

Finn looked away, knowing you were right. "I like him more than the others." Finn smirked at you, with cheekiness, "I did some research."

You sigh, you slightly open your mouth, the tip of your tongue touching your inner cheek. "Of course you did!"

[magicalella]

Hi all!! For those of you who don’t know me, My name is Ella Griffin, I’m a 24 year old trans woman based in south florida. For the last four years, I’ve been working on a super special project that I’m beyond thrilled to share with you all: my debut novel, The White Liar. As a big fan of fantasy books, I’ve felt for a long time that there’s a serious lack of authentic trans representation in the genre. For years, I yearned for even just one iconic transfem hero in a high fantasy setting. The White Liar is my attempt to fill that gap in the literary canon.

As a bit of background, I am a massive fan of hard fantasy books with an epic scope and in-depth magic systems; such as Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere books or Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea series. I’m also a big fan of gothic literature and character-driven classics like Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables and Anna Karenina, all of which have played an influence on this book. The White Liar’s setting is heavily inspired by celtic folklore, mythology and history with a feminist twist.

It’s a world where fae creatures range from tiny glowing insectoids to massive flying mounts and even humanoid beings. Yet, even the tiniest of these has the potential to unlock unfathomable magical potential through the art of Serimancy! Serimancy, the primary magic system of the book, gives users the ability to transmute or ‘spin’ the silk made by fae creatures into supernatural strength, telekinetic threads, and twelve other distinctive powers. Think Rumplestiltskin spinning straw into gold, but more vaporwave.

Without giving too much away, the book features a diverse cast of characters from all different backgrounds, including transfem, transmasc, nonbinary, aspec and disabled characters, although those aspects don’t always define their motives or character arcs. Mainly, The White Liar is a book about the nature of truth and identity; the ways in which our environment affects how we perceive those things, and the friction that creates with our own perception.

I would also characterize the book as a gaslamp fantasy like the Mistborn series or the video game Lies of P, with a baroque/art nouveau-meets-Bridgerton 19th century aesthetic. I’m a 100% independent author with a summary $0 budget publishing through kindle direct, and flat broke, so I would highly appreciate any and all support with this project, be it word of mouth or otherwise. The cover art is a digital painting created entirely by me and is canon to the book!

Thank you so, so much for giving me your time and attention. This book is my love letter to the queer community and I truly hope someone somewhere finds it hopeful or inspiring like I’ve found with the works that inspire me.

The White Liar is available now on E-book here:

Rainbow High Littles: Indigo Bailey, Pt. 1

All right y'all, I said we'd do this so let's go. I was originally going to make this all one entry, but I decided to break off the hair discussion as a separate post, since this one was already way too long before I even got to that point XD Will link Pt. 2 once it's published.

Krystal Jr.: What the heck are we doing all the way over here? Krystal Sr.: We need to collect a delivery to take back to Rainbow Heights--a sister! KJ: I thought I was your sister? KS: No, you're a younger version of me from an alternate point in our shared timeline. We just say you're my sister so it's less confusing for everyone else. KJ: If I'm you from the past and we're both in the same place, shouldn't that create some sort of temporal paradox where you cease to exist? KS: The normal laws of physics don't apply in the doll universe, dear. It's best not to think on it too much. KJ: Okaaaaaaaaaay. But this one is NOT us, right? KS: …Probably not? Indigo: ((Maybe stop talking and let me out, please?))

Sooooooooo yeah, Indigo. Where to begin? For starters, I think the vitriol that's being dumped on these poor Littles is completely out of proportion to what they actually are--tiny dolls meant for small hands to play with. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I can see how they would be less appealing to adult collectors used to a more sophisticated product from this brand, but I personally will do my best to judge her by her own merits.

First impressions: I think she's cute! I pulled a few of her braids back with a rubber band to make her face more visible, but otherwise straight out of the box she's good to go.

Krystal Jr.: Are we a family? Are we clones? Honestly folks, it's anyone's guess. Indigo: Is she always this snarky? Krystal Sr.: Don't worry sweetie, it's just her being a tween, we grow out of it eventually. I: We? KS: It's complicated.

More detailed discussion of clothes & accessories under the cut--

Let's talk about the dress and that reviled plastic bodice. Honestly? I don't mind it! I can't speak for the rest of the line, but in Indigo's case at least it's clear there was some effort put into her overall design. I was especially delighted by the skirt portion of her dress, which is made of a lovely little textured woven fabric featuring a butterfly design, with a coordinating tulle ruffle trim. There's even an underskirt made from a plasticy fine-weave fabric. Both the main skirt and underskirt are sewn (that's right, not glued--there are STITCHES) to the base of the plastic top portion of the dress.

Ok so, no one loves plastic doll clothes. I get it. Not a fan myself. But for what this is, considering it's all one piece, I'm impressed by the amount of detail, and how well it reads as 'normal' clothing. The midsection has a sculpted raised texture that closely mirrors the design of the skirt fabric. The collar section is painted a lighter contrasting shade of purple that compliments her shoes (all the adult collectors who whine about lack of painted detail on molded plastic pieces, here you go), and the ruffle around the armholes compliments the trim on the skirt. Everything is held together neatly at the back with a piece of velcro at the top of the skirt.

Given how difficult it can be to sew fabric doll clothing in this scale that actually looks good, I think the plastic top is a fair compromise to increase ease of use for smaller hands.

The shoes! I was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail on these. The butterfly motif from the dress is carried on here, with sculpted decoration all the way around the tops and even on the soles. This was absolutely unnecessary, but I'm so happy they did it.

Indigo's official height is listed as 5.5 inches, which lands her somewhere between an old school Kelly doll and the closest MGA equivalent in my collection, a Dream Ella Extra Iconic Mini. I believe Magic Mixies Pixlings are also of a similar size, but I don't have one to include in this comparison.

Indigo's pet is...a thing that exists. Her product description says it's a 'magical fox'. Sure.

Ok folks, that's it for pt. 1. We're going to take a closer look at those braids in pt.2

~ Intro post ~

Hello! You can call me Jaimiee! (Previously Ella but the name Jaimiee gives me sm euphoria :3)

I am officially the OG Florean Fortescue fan (I think). I am on a mission, together with my crazy Tumblr crew, to share the Florean Fortescue lore with the world and make him a popular character in the Marauders fandom! He really deserves it ^^

Together, we have made an OC named August Ronan Ollivander. He is Florean’s boyfriend, a tall, white blond dude who always drops sarcastic remarks and who loves Florean dearly. Another ship I’ve seen going on here is Florean Fortescue x Xeno Lovegood!

So far, it’s a bit unclear if August is an only child and is he’s the wandmaker’s son or grandson (timelines, yk), but I have a feeling that something is in the making!

Florean is Italian, loves ice-cream (and his boyfriend 😉), and is in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw. There are a bunch of hcs already for both him and August, but feel free to do whatever with these characters!

If you want to draw fanart or write fanfiction about them, feel free to do so but PLEASE share it with me 🙏

I have another sideblog, @earlyautumnflowermicrofics, dedicated to our two fav bois!

Tags I will be using: #florean fortescue, #august ronan ollivander, #autumnflower (ship name), #summerfall (also a ship name), #anti jkr (because anti jkr) and #dead gay wizards

my great grandmother was a magic weaver

My nanna used to love telling me she was born within the sound of the Bow Bells meaning she was a true Cockney, which is genuinely quite funny if you knew my nanna at all. This actually played no part in me being a West Ham fan, but I the idea of these threads that weave through our lives, joining us in ways that mean something beyond what the eye can see.

In fact, Nanna was ostensibly a Spurs fan, having been taken to White Hart Lane by her brother when she was younger. She'd tell me that standing in the terraces was like being caught up in a rough sea, at one point both her feet were off the ground as she was lifted up by the bodies squashed next to her. She never went again, but it didn't stop her fondly teasing me.

Nanna died 8 days ago, and I can't stop thinking about the newsletter Lorde wrote when her dog died.

I eat a grief sandwich

I wear a grief coat

I see a grief film

And isn't that what it's like. Except for me it's just I have a grief bath, I have a grief bath, I go for a grief walk, I have a grief bath. I keep buying yarn the colours of the sea and I knit a grief sock. Kasper told me he finds how life is cyclical sad but very beautiful and so maybe with the rest of the yarn I won't knit more grief socks, but I'll make a blanket for the little bundle of cells growing in Lucy's tummy. A life goes on and on and on and isn't that lovely blanket.

Ella lets me go over to her flat and lie on her bed and cry in her arms, Lindsay comes over and brings bread and cheese and sends flowers to my mum, Meg and Rach and Lucy and Emily check in every day. Victoria is so gentle with me, letting me tiptoe around the flat feeling so heavy with sadness. My school friends tell me how much they love Nanna, how she was an icon, a legend, a wonderful person. Everyone tells me they'll always think of her when they see Poldark.

Every day I put on either the heart locket bracelet she gave me, or the amber necklace with the spider trapped in that mum said I could keep. I wrap myself in the cardigan she made me when I was 11 or wear the soft navy blue cashmere jumper I slipped into my bag when we were sorting through her clothes last week. I just want to be surrounded by her, all the time. She was my favourite, I'll miss her forever and ever.

rating music pls dont hate me #30 | THE SHINEE WORLD - SHINEE

in every entry with issue number divisible by 5, i talk about significant albums in the past instead of the present. since 2nd gen won last friday's poll, today we are going to review THE SHINEE WORLD, a DEBUT album by no other than famous BOY GROUP SHINEE.

SHINEE is an icon of 2ND generation KPOP. they REVOLUTIONIZED new trends of MUSIC, DANCE, and FASHION in the KPOP industry. the FAMOUS boy group consist of ONEW, KEY, MINHO, TAEMIN, and LATE JONGHYUN. they debuted under SM ENTERTAINMENT, one of the big three entertainment companies of the KPOP industry, in 2008 and have made many big hits in their still active career.

their debut album, THE SHINEE WORLD, was released 3 months after their first mini album, REPLAY. in fact, the title track of the mini album REPLAY was featured in the album, along with a UNPLUGGED REMIX of IN MY ROOM. REPLAY also served as the leading track for their debut album.

1ST GEN KPOP music was more HIP-HOP or OLD-SCHOOL-RNB oriented in production. on the other hand, 2ND GEN KPOP music was more ELETRONIC than ACOUSTIC. SHINEE's discography lead this trend with the PEAKEST PEAK production i have ever seen in 2ND GENERATION KPOP music. in fact, i believed this is the most CREATIVE SM group based on PRODUCTION. THE SHINEE WORLD still has this new ELETRONIC production first introduced in this GEN but also has a little mix of TRADITIONAL RNB found in the 1ST GEN, but also feels more EXPERIMENTAL and NE-YO-coded, and i can tell you that NE-YO-coded songs are absolute BANGERS.

another thing i love about the album is the vocals, all of the member's shine their vocals in their own ways, specially mentioning ONEW and JONGHYUN. JONGHYUN's whole solo performance in Y SI FUERA ELLA wants me want to scream like fans when a song starts playing in a concert, the music key change gagged me so hard.

overall, SHINEE's debut THE SHINEE WORLD is, no doubt, a masterpiece, an icon for fans who are probably at the age to go to college, but i may be wrong of course. this was a promising beginning and will at least be their boldest work to date, if ODD (their 4th album) would be a bit worse than this (i haven't listened to it yet).

~Rest in piece JONGHYUN, you will always be my favorite lead vocal idol. The legacy you left is beautiful and influential. You did well.

underrated gem(s): LOVE'S WAY, ROMANTIC, ONE FOR ME, LAST GIRL (IN MY ROOM-PRELUDE), Y SI FUERA ELLA - why not.

tracks that i rec listening: THE SHINEE WORLD (DOO BOP), LOVE LIKE OXYGEN, GRAZE, BEST PLACE, IN MY ROOM - UNPLUGGED REMIX, REPLAY.

worst track: FOUR SEASONS - i emphasised positively about the album's production but it can get messy like this track.

overall score 9/10 - this is all opinion so pls no hate

Vengo pensando en esto desde la mañana:

Un hadcanon un poco equis donde Bakugou es fan del pop (llámese J-pop/K-Pop/Pop en ingles) pero nadie lo sabe, hasta que un grupo de K-pop ofrece un concierto en la ciudad.

Ochako ha conseguido dos entradas y le pregunta a Deku si quiere acompañarla:

Uraraka *quien piensa que a Izuku le puede gustar ese tipo de música*: Deku-kun, ¿Me acompañas al concierto de Twice el siguiente fin de semana?

Deku *quien no es muy fan del pop, pero tampoco sabe decir que no*: ¡Cl-claro!, ¡Será divertido!

Mientras tanto, alguien ha escuchado la conversación a lo lejos.

Llega el día del concierto, Uraraka a convencido a Deku de llevar una playera de dicho grupo junto a ella en un intento de match icons.

Uraraka habla emocionada mientras revisa (de nueva cuenta) que su "CandyBong" este cargada, no se fija por dónde va chocando con la espalda de alguien quien vestía un hoodie y gorra negra:

Uraraka: ¡Lo siento tanto! ¿Te encuentras bie...? Oh...

El hombre misterioso se ha dado vuelta, revelando su identidad poniendo incómodos a todos, especialmente a Izuku.

Deku: ¿¡KACHAN!?

Bakugou: ¡NINGUNA PALABRA DE ESTO A NADIE O ME LOS LLEVO DIRECTO AL INFIERNO!

Ambos chicos asienten, Katsuki se va molesto y cruzado de brazos. La hoodie del rubio tenía impresa la misma imagen que sus playeras; Deku lo mira alejarse a distancia...

Había cosas que Izuku sabía perfectamente de Katsuki, al final de día, habían crecido juntos pero, el tema de sus gustos musicales había pasado un poco desapercibido.

Al final, Izuku pensó que Katsuki escuchaba el mismo tipo de música que él (Rock, Punk y Heavy Metal).

A la mañana siguiente, específicamente en el desayuno, Ochako no ha dejado de hablar de lo increíble que ha sido el concierto; desde el tracklist, las coreografías, hasta los fans proyects.

Deku se sienta en una de las mesas a desayunar un poco de cereal.

Mina: Wuaaaa, me siento un poco mal de no haberte acompañado.

Uraraka *un poco ronca de gritar*: ¡Vayamos juntas la siguiente vez! Además, me encontré con alguien igual o más fan que yo...

Instintivamente, todas voltearon a ver al pelo verde quien, dentro de esas miradas, sintió una particularmente pesada. Trago saliva nervioso:

Deku: No, no... Yo no... Conocimos a alguien muy agradable dentro del recinto.

Comentó el chico sintiendo la mirada acusatoria de Bakugou a sus espaldas, pronto continúo:

Deku: Espero que en el siguiente concierto volvamos a coincidir.

Uraraka: ¡Si! Realmente fue agradable pasar tiempo con esa persona.

Agrego la chica percatandose del rubio que se mantenía medio escondido en un pilar.

Bakugou: ¡Tch!

Él no lo admitiría en voz alta, pero fue uno de los mejores días de su vida.

Izuku respiro aliviado una vez que Katsuki paso a su lado. Lo miro de reojo y pudo notar una leve sonrisa mientras Uraraka seguía comentando el concierto.

Resulta que los asientos de Uraraka y Deku estaban a lado del de Bakugou.

Al principio, fue un poco incomodo para los tres jóvenes, hasta que Uraraka decidio romper el hielo y conversar con Bakugou percatandose que tenían más en común de lo que siquiera pensaron.

Deku se sentía extrañado ante tal escena pero, le daba gusto escuchar a sus amigos conversar... o regañarlo (especialmente Bakugo) por no entender ciertos chistes locales entre fans.

Fue una noche increíble para los tres.

Twenty questions that he has to answer.

How is your sleep schedule like? Don't mess with Theodore's. I annoyed him for a year about it and finally he got it right. Tho I am sure he got it right because of someone else. (Aka you) 😏

What are your friends like? Explain in brief. Treat this like a three marks question.

What is your ideal way to spend weekends? Will you take Theodore to museums or not? Will you stay in and cancel your plans if Theodore doesn't feel like going? Without blaming him?

Do you know your love language? Do you know how to convey it? (You don't have to tell me what it is just say yes or no)

What's your favourite thing about dating my best friend? Treat this like a three marks question too.

What are some things you and him have in common?

Will you give all your chocolates to him if he asks?

What's your favourite movie?

Favourite way to relax?

Will you say sorry after an argument even if it wasn't exactly your fault? I believe that saying sorry doesn't mean that you are wrong it just means that you care enough to keep your ego aside and take accountability.

Do you like Spiderman/Percy Jackson? (Very important question)

Hobbies?

Any new hobbies you want to pick up?

Will you read a book just because it is Theodore's favourite?

Favourite poet, if any?

Will you get Theodore roses?

Will you help/ask whether you can help Theodore with his chores without him having to ask you?

Extroverted or introverted?

Most played song on your playlist?

If you could master any instrument than which one?

That's it. I guess. Hope you have a wonderful day, take care of yourself and him. Also, nice to meet you, I am Eleanor. Theodore is my best friend, I am his casual friend. I am from India. Eleanor is not my real name but that is what you can refer to me, for now. Any queries? Message me. Take care of my best friend for me. Give him hugs from my side. Time to time, lots of hugs. Theodore, give him a handshake from my side. Thank you.

passing the phone to him

Shalom!! Eleanor (can I call you Ellie?  Oo or even Elea ~pronounced Ella??~ if not that’s groovy too)

I’m very excited I’ve heard lots about you! All good don’t worry babes)

I try to sleep about seven hours a night but sometimes I sleep 8 but I couldn’t do anything less unless absolutely necessary I physically could not lose a day of beauty rest of it would ruin me

Friends….all pretty diverse actually and there are several different personalities.. I’ll give you my ride or dies so okay we All went to an alternative school not because we had disciplinary problems but because we had different problems that made normal schools challenging. Like I for example have dyslexia and ADD. Anyway my best friends and I sorta bonded over this and I’ve been friends with Elton since grade five and we still keep in touch even now but he decided to go to college and I did not he’s a literal fashion icon and the sweetest smartest cinnamon roll you could meet but if he’s not doing his work you need to get on him because he procrastinates like crazy. So now we only see each other on weekends. Kaleb on the other hand went overseas and we FaceTime every morning except Sundays because of church and she’s really into anime and I can’t tell you much about that stuff except the seven deadly sins is better than demon slayer and bleach is something Kaleb rewatchs every few weeks so you best expect that it’s going to be playing when you visit but my life really doesn’t have interesting drama thank goodness. (No offence starshine👀)

I love to spend my weekends exploring I used to hike a lot but Arc is not a fan of the outdoors though we’ve found he has a knack for gardening and does very good on the family farm he just really doesn’t see the point and I don’t really blame him I suppose it’s not for everyone and I know Arc is more of a moon person. Yes actually we do go to museums and no I wouldn’t ever get mad at him for that we all have our off days

Yes and yes but ours is not the same so it’s good to keep of communication in our relationship so we stay afloat. We really haven’t had any problems though as words of affirmation is something Arc is good at unknowingly because of his poetry addiction and I’ve always been a really touchy person

My favorite thing about dating Arc is his ability to express himself though body language for example we’re at a party I don’t have a ask in front of everyone if he’s tired from all the human interaction he just shows it with expressions or posture..or whatever he chooses to convey but I never have to ask. This can be a problem on the small occasion that I can’t see him because I cannot rely on him to tell me because I usually know.

We’re people pleasers and that’s one of things we sorta bonded over when we first met we feel horrible égéen if the thing wasn’t our problem or responsibility because it made whoever upset. We don’t have very good people skills I’m overbearing and him not enough which has lead a lot of people to sorta stay away unless of course you’re also like us. I’ve found that we both share an appreciation of art mine is more in fashion design and makeup while his is writing and visual sorta stuff

Without hesitation(I’m not a huge fan of chocolate)

Geek charming (I’m not sorry)

Meditation.

Yes because I will feel bad for making him upset though he’s probably right anyway as he’s more logical than me…but one cannot always choose mind over morals so maybe I might be right on the off occasion

Not really l…sorry..but I think wonder woman is cool if that’s the same fandom? 

Crocheting, sewing, working out, and I love to sing but I’m not very good at it despite what Arc says but I do want to get into photography 

I would if he asked me but I don’t really read them because he likes to tell me about them and I love hearing about them…he also probably wound be very happy at my reading for him because he knows reading is a struggle for me

Oh this is a good one! Probably the Edgar guy I like when Arc recites them especially Anabel Lee

No because he prefers Aster white aster to be exact..

Of course! Most our chores are mutual so we don’t have it set on who does what but if he’s doing something I’d definitely help him finish whatever it is

Extroverted

Teenage dirtbag by weetus I honestly have no Idea how I’m not tied of it yet and a close second is  in this shirt by the irrépressibles which I listen to while designing 

Definitely guitar it’s just so pretty but Theodore might get me into piano he plays like a dream

I do Hope your next three days go spectacularly well and this was really fun I definitely might consider this app or the website at the very least thank you.

Take all the time you need! You come first. So not to related but with all the music, what kind of music do you think they enjoyed when they were alive? I can see Angel Dust enjoying Sinatra being the icon Italian American crooner (unless I’m wrong and Sinatra only became a thing after the time of Angel’s death)

Just to add a little extra flare, I combined what they would have listened to when alive with what they would listen to now! Also, since we don't know if Vaggie was born an angel or not in the show's canon, I left her out of this.

Angel Dust

→ When he was alive, Angel was a TOTAL SIMP for Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. Now? He'll still listen to them, sure, especially when he wants to feel nostalgic and closer to home, but he's a TOTAL Kesha and Lana Del Rey fan.

Husk

→ When he was alive, Husk probably would have been a fan of Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles and Creedence Clearwater Revival. He isn't the biggest fan of modern music, but every now and then he'll find something that suits his fancy; he's taken a liking to Hozier specifically as of late.

Alastor

→ When he was alive, Alastor was a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong (ONE thing he has in common with Husk). While he states he despises modern music, Angel exposed him to Adele, and now you can catch him listening to her on occasion (he also becomes a pretty big fan of Michael Bublé).

Nifty

→ When she was alive, Nifty was ABSOLUTELY an Elvis Presley girl, okay? And when she gets introduced to MODERN music, you can bet she will latch onto any boy band she can get her hands on. I can also see her being a fan of Melanie Martinez.

Sir Pentious

→ When he was alive, there weren't really bands or singers to obsess over, so Pentious likely just listened to classical music. Mozart, Beethoven, stuff like that. At first, he would have been staunchly opposed to listening to any of that "modern noise" as he calls it, but only one Celine Dion song later the man is OBSESSED.

[imanopossum]

you met the cast?? That's so cool! What did you guys talked about?

yes!!!

when i talked with louis we were mostly talking about how misunderstood he is. “henry needs a hug!” “he DOES doesn’t he!” we were really agreeing on everything, that he wasn’t inherently evil but his environment aka mistreatment from virginia, brenner, the lab as well as the mind flayer contributed to why he is the way he is. comparison to anakin of course because of how similar their stories are, and lucifer, fallen angel trope. you could tell he really cares about henry and invests a lot of effort into portraying him accurately, and that he appreciated someone seeing eye to eye and nerding out with him about henry. also i showed him my scar on my hand bc henry has a scar on his hand too and he held my hand to look at it “matching!”, and before we left we hugged, he was literally the sweetest

patrick was absolutely hilarious, we mostly talked about how he played brenner and what it was like playing such a heartless villain. it was so jarring seeing him so cruel and creepy on stage and then in real life he has such a sense of humor 😭😭

i talked with ella and told her that patty was one of my new favorite characters, she was so appreciative and sweet! i asked her if she had any clue if patty might come back in season five but she either didn’t know or couldn’t say she knew! we also talked about how important she really was with being the only thing that kept henry grounded and sane, and them being separated absolutely contributed to his downfall. she was the only one who made him feel normal, and was the first person to understand him and love him despite him thinking he was such a bad person. we both thought if she does come back in s5 it could definitely be for the cipher journal he gave her which might be important? or as a redemption of some kind, to snap him out of the mind flayers control like she did when she told him she loved him, because their love was the only thing that was able to conquer the mind flayer

isabella was really genuine and humble, (they all were tho!) she remembered me because we actually bumped into eachother on the street before the show and we had a good laugh about that! (also people were saying we looked alike 😭) my mom loves joyce so they talked a lot about how cool it felt for isabella to play a beloved iconic character from the show

chris was also super funny!! he was almost like bob personality-wise himself! same thing with my mom loving bob and talking to him about that😭

i didn’t get to meet oscar who plays hopper, we had an understudy that night and i don’t think he came out to greet fans!

overall the cast is some of the nicest people i’ve ever met, and i think that if you were to meet them again they would remember you, they’re the kind of actors who love their fans and connect with them because we all love the characters they play so dearly.

ROUND 3B, MATCH 3 OUT OF 4!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Ella:

Listen, is the book good? No. Does the idea of a trans Cinderella slap? Yes.

Sam:

Best of the early 2000s modern Cinderellas. Not even Disney?! Hillary Duff and Chad Micheal Murray do the whole Cinderella story in High School! Everyone in it is amazing. Sam can wear roller skates and go to a masquerade ball in the same night! And she is exposed as Cinderella which is different from the typical story line where the stepfamily tries to keep her identity hidden. And she makes it rain! In a drought!

So the love interest in this is the worst but Hilary Duff is pretty iconic. The moment that she came out to the dance in the dress and the 2000s pop song is playing… it made my childhood.

She's a classic. She's Hilary Duff. She got a kiss in the rain during drought.

Because she still has the stepmother (and dead father) and step-sisters who treat her horribly and the charming "prince"/football star, but she actually saves herself! As far as I remember, there is no shoe fitting scene, Austin finds out in another way - from emails that Sam's sisters find and spread around school. But Sam stands up to her stepmother after finding a letter (and will) from her father and sorts her life off before getting the guy.

And, to be terribly honest, I've never been a fan of Cinderella stuff, but I did like this film. Probably because of the change to the story and Hilary Duff. And Sam's best friend Carter.
