I was actually updating the whole If Tumblr Went Old Hollywood post to make some bits clearer where I failed and shit (do feel free to reblog with additions of your own! It’s a free-for-all), but I got thinking that I missed one major meme.

Namely, if fandom went OH overnight, who’d take Nic Cage’s place as the guy whose face gets pasted everywhere for lols? I’m crowdsourcing this, because I can’t really think of who the Golden Age equivalent of him would be. Any ideas?

#nicolas cage #old hollywood #memes #meme #lols #and things #i also feel iffy about trying to explain jokes but i guess that whole hogwarts houses thing fell flat :(#so i tried to just make it clearer now because...#i feel pretty pathetic about trying to be funny rn #it's lame when you've got the impetus and the ideas and the spirit for memes/porn/fanfic etc.#but those things don't really exist in OH fandom since it's full of so many strait-laced people #but it's odd because there *is* an overlap with that kind of fandom at large #ah well i guess the area just needs stubborn nutcases treating OH like any other fandom #i've seen some memey things made by other OH fans as well and they've been super funny #but they never get reblogged and i find that's so infuriating!#the amount of slashy lols in so many of those movies and/or the meme potential and and #and then you've got some jokey memey things but they're run by hopelessly prudish people #where are all the bawdy slash fangirl types?#if anything an area dominated by prudishness requires some shaking up #but i guess unless it's a huge fandom everyone prefers to just be more and more navel-gazey these days #i have a ramble on that topic specifically with regards to the whole oc phenomenon... but later #but again old hollywood was crazier and pervier than current hollywood it seems #so you'd *think* fandom would latch onto it but i guess it's just the gay guys who are all the pervs there #and they don't really do the same kinds of things fangirls do which is a shame #BASICALLY I WANT MORE OH MEMES WITH ACTUAL OBNOXIOUS PERV JOKES #is that too much to ask #p.s. re: cage--am now imagining shots of basil rathbone in son of frankenstein #bc he makes so many ridic faces in the promos for that film #but i have already shown too much bias towards my favs in that meme #so i am legit trying to aim for a balance
