The Extremely Serious and Scientific Legolas Fandom Hair Colour Poll:

What colour hair do you picture in your head for your personal mental image of Legolas of the Woodland Realm? (Not necessarily which one you think is more or less "canonical"; rather just what you see in your head when you're reading something.)

Ideally, you can also share when and how you were first exposed to Lord of the Rings in the tags or reblogs, and what you think most influenced your mental image.

No I'm not procrastinating from writing stuff, go away.

Hii, I just discovered your fics and am reading my way through them. Love, love, love the ones I’ve read so far.😊 I was just wondering what your favourite Draco is you’ve written, and what your fave Draco is in fics written by others? ☺️

ACK thank you!! what a question!! i've considered this v carefully and it turns out i have………a lot of thoughts. i will keep them under a cut so nobody is accosted with a full 700 words of my Draco Opinions 😂 so my quick answer is:

my fave draco i've written: the taste of țuică my fave draco ever: rookie moves by peu_a_peu

draco is an interesting one for me bc i don't really LIKE him? but i have sooo many feelings about him. really not sure i could summon the same fervour for harry, for example, who is my number one boy forever and always.

(i saw a thing once that said a pairing becomes ur otp when u relate to one of the characters and want to fuck the other one, and 🙈 i mean, i think you're supposed to relate to the gryffindor, aren't you. whoops.)

OKAY SO HERE'S THE UNHINGED DRACO MALFOY ESSAY BY FLUX W. EED.

listen. i love and respect people who are Refined Draco enjoyers. connoisseurs of redemption arcs. appreciators of majestic malfoy bone structure and ethereal grey eyes and soft windswept hair. fans of dracos who insult harry (with hidden affection) and who are a bit snobbish (in a rich, sexy way) but ultimately have realised the error of their teenage years and have become a better person. perhaps this draco has built a potions business and helps the aurors. perhaps he IS an auror. either way, he has a biting sense of humour, maybe, but he's a good guy.

unfortunately, the draco of my heart is a horrid mean little rat man.

i've never actually managed to write him the way i love him. i tried to aim for immoral bastardy in what's mine is yours but i got so caught up in trying to nail the feelsforbreakfast-style humour in the narrative that i ended up focusing much more on that and much less on writing genuine bastardhood.

i've written him as reserved and clever (in the four doors – this draco was written entirely for @jovialobservationanchor, who had a weak spot for closed-off academics with soft centres) and as a traumatised self-loathing mess (in two to lie and to some extent for lack of wanting and say no to this) and hopelessly sexually/emotionally horny for one harry james potter (in, um, most things) but i've never managed to capture the genuine cruel streak and flawed personality that is sooo so important to me.

WHICH IS WHY i picked țuică!draco for my favourite of the ones i've written. he's still a bit too emotionally intelligent to be Just Right, imo, but i think he's maybe the closest? he's unrepentantly rude to people. he's not attractive. and he has a streak of self-destructive fucked-upedness that is some form of wartime guilt, but certainly not a pretty one.

HOWEVER. rookie moves?? NAILED it. i adooored how genuinely fuckin MEAN he is, even tho he's an auror. i love love LOVED that he's kind of bad at his job in a way that's in complete opposition to how drarry!draco is often written these days:

The look on Malfoy’s face was not only troubling, Harry realized, but familiar. At once activated and dead behind the eyes, like an invasive species in an ecosystem that could not check it. It was the look of the meanest fucking teenager Harry had ever known, giving in to his urge to bully.

-

What Malfoy wasn’t good with was people. Despite his repeated insistences that his upbringing had equipped him with impeccable manners and a facility with society intrigue, the truth was that he rubbed almost everyone the wrong way. He was, undeniably, annoying. Witnesses were put off by his snide, dismissive tone, and he didn’t know how to coax out information with curiosity, warmth, or strategic silence.

that's not to say unrepentant cunt draco is the only one for me!! i DO enjoy the classic redeemed drarry draco!! i love a quirky draco, à la wwpwcs or maya's drop dead gorgeous. gallaplacidia's draco is sooo painful for me to read (complimentary) that even though i adore her fics, i still haven't read them all bc i have to space them out, for my health. and i'm sure there are dozens more dracos that i'm forgetting how much i like – basically, as long as he isn't super suave, absolutely gorgeous and/or obviously tom felton, i'm on board.

if relevant, in your tags/replies you can specify the version of what game you picked (example: chain of memories vs re:chain of memories).

this poll is ONLY about the plot/narrative! not how well you thought the gameplay was.

[dotheylookalikepoll]

Are there two people that you think look alike, but you’re a little faceblind and unsure if others would agree? Do you often get into discussions with your friends over whether two actors actually look similar or not?

If so, this blog is a place where you can submit two people to be put into a poll, so the general public can vote on whether they actually look alike, and you can get some sort of outside opinion on the matter.

Not sure if there's much of an audience for this, so maybe there won't be that many posts, but I somewhat regularly see people discuss with each other about this sort of thing, so I thought it might be an interesting topic to utilize tumblr polls for.

(please fully read the Rules HERE (link) before submitting anything!!)

(Also if a poll blog with this premise already exists, please let me know! I tried searching everywhere I could think of, every blog title that seemed relevant, and couldn't find anything, so hopefully it's okay )

350 Followers Sim Dump Poll!!

Hi everyone! Recently the blog reached the 350 follower milestone (yay!!)!! Thank you so much it really brings me so much joy to make posts and I love getting to be a part of this community. I sincerely appreciate everyone who likes, comments, reblogs, and just generally engages with my blog. You've all made me happier than I can even put into words. 😊🥰

That being said that means... It's time for a celebratory sim dump! 😁

I love doing a cc free sim dump as a milestone celebration so I wanted to experiment with doing a poll to pick the theme! 🥳

Sorry there are a lot of options but I tried to combine any that I could (and I may do another poll to narrow down options depending on what wins, but I don't want to be annoying so I might chicken out hopefully not 😅).

P.S. this poll will be relogged a lot for the next week (sorry in advance)! 😉

Hey, no guarantee I'll actually do this anytime soon, but I'm flirting with the idea of running a big vnc-related poll bracket, and I'd like y'all's thoughts on some of the variables.

First of all, I'm undecided on theme. I've posted before about the idea of a "who's most likely to die first" poll, but I also like the idea of doing a sequel to my mxtx bugpoll from my other sideblog and making the theme "which character do you most want to study like a little bug?"

If I do the bugpoll, that also opens me up to doing a broader mochijun poll and including pandora hearts (and maybe crimson-shell??) characters as well. But! If I do that, then it's no longer entirely tailored to this blog, so I'd have to decide whether to host it here or put it somewhere else so vnc only fans can avoid.

Anyway, that's a lot of variables, but please tell me which version of this idea appeals to y'all most.

[tlozypaka-tina]

I was tagged by @fiannalover to do this, so! here I go wahooo, but boy, it's hard to choose favs that don't overlap franchises....weh

Prompt: post a poll with five of your favorite characters and let your followers choose their favorite!

Pictures:

If you see this, you are tagged >:3

[vampiricsheep]

so since I may be free this summer after all, would anyone be interested in an RP event that's a potluck? I've been wanting to do it for ages but there's never any interest compared to other themes

for a discord rp, I would make a separate server explicitly for this purpose so you don't have to be in any guilds or anything! I would also delete the server (or at least channel, if people would like an event-planning server long-term) after a week - enough time for people to read over their stuff but not preserved forever and ever.

[kenobihater]

these aren't the only fandoms i posted abt during these periods, but they were the ones i was most active in. also, just bc a fandom isn't currently listed doesn't mean i'll never post abt it! i love all of these fandoms and apparently have the ability to get hyperfixated on ones that i got entirely burnt out on and even fed up with, like star wars

[jacobglaser]

My mum just watched Eddie Begins and thought for sure he was gonna die, she's a nervous wreck lmao. I couldn't watch it with her but without a doubt I will be there for the sniper and lightning and I can't wait to watch her reaction. The next ones I've told her I have to be there for are 4x04-06 cos buck begins is thee episode, and I just wanna watch Jinx again because bitchy eddie is my life.

Bit late now but I think separating classic who and new who would have been a good idea and a bit fairer.

well yeah, but also that would have been kinda less interesting, i've loved watching certain classic companions narrowly gain victories from what i thought would have been obvious nuwho sweeps (thinking especially about the ian/clara match) and also seeing which classic characters have ended up being winning and iconic (hi ian). tbh if there was one thing i'd change going back to the start, it would be not putting four characters from any category through, because that's what made it possible for there to (technically only potentially but probably certainly) be an rtd-only semifinal and final, although that's also in part a problem of assuming equality across nuwho eras and classic who eras as two broad categories, and then splitting every group across the four corners of the bracket rather than, say, putting two rtd characters into two of the semifinal feeders. idk, there's lots of ways it could have been done differently, but the "unfair" results are also part of the interesting bits for me

[haveyouheardthispodcast]

I know "poll propaganda" doesn't really apply here, but I'd love to gush about podcasts. I've already submitted like 3 audio dramas, and now I wanna relisten to them all

A big part of the reason for starting this blog was to get some podcast recs going around, so please feel free to gush! I'll reblog any propaganda posts to try to get more people to listen!
