What do the ROs notice first about the MC? And what was James thinking when he and Anna met for the first time?

Constantine: He noticed how different MC is from James. They're twins and both royals, but also their own people. After spending so much time with James, he thought MC would be a lot like James but he's surprised and intrigued to see that they aren't.

F: The first thing F noticed about MC when they first met during childhood was the way MC held themself. Despite being a royal, MC never made F or anyone else feel like "less." Of course, F is quite insecure and still felt this way but not because of the MC. F always felt seen by MC and that's something that stood out.

Felix: Since Felix was raising F at the time, he first noticed the way MC treated F, and other children in general, in a caring way. He'd had negative thoughts about royalty and nobility in general, but MC helped him realize that you shouldn't generalize a group of people.

Margaret: Part of Margaret's skillset is being able to read people and situations. She first noticed how the MC, despite being a royal and The Harbinger, was an outsider in their own castle. The distance and suspicion did not escape her. But it did intrigue her. A mystery she desperately wants to solve.

And what was James thinking when he and Anna met for the first time?

The first time James met Anna, he was jealous of her.

James frowned as he observed the girl that was standing with his sibling. And he observed the way his sibling smiled at the child. Without realizing it, he had crossed his arms. Am I being replaced? His eyes further scanned her. She's pretty and her smile is sweet. I wouldn't blame MC. But it still saddened him all the same.

SHŌGUN (2024–) Chapter Five: Broken to the Fist

[hotvintagepoll]

Propaganda

Ava Gardner (The Killers, The Barefoot Contessa)— She's so goddamn hot. Her and Frank Sinatra could've sandwiched me and I would've thanked them for the privilege

Anna May Wong (The Thief of Bagdad, Shanghai Express)—Wong was the first Chinese American movie star, arguably the first Asian woman to make it big in American films. Though the racism of the time often forced her into stereotypical roles, awarded Asian leading roles to white actors in yellowface, and prohibited on-screen romance between actors of different races, she delivered powerful and memorable performances. When Hollywood bigotry got to be too much, she made movies in Europe. Wong was intellectually curious, a fashion icon, and a strong advocate for authentic Asian representation in cinema. And, notably for the purposes of this tournament, absolutely gorgeous.

This is round 5 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.

Ava Gardner:

Ava Gardner is one of my favorite actresses of all time. Although a lot of her roles in movies are about her being beautiful and nothing else, there are some films where her acting truly shines.

HER FACE. LOOK AT IT. Also was a life long supporter of civil rights and a member of the NAACP, had lots of fun love affairs with other stars, bullfighters, married several times but was also happy in between to just have lovers and was unapologetically herself.

I literally gasp every time I see her.

Between 1942 and 1964, Ava Gardner was credited in no less 50 films, and is still considered by some to be the most beautiful actresses that ever graced the silver screen. Despite life-long insecurities regarding her talent as an actress, she weathered public scandal, industry hostility, and outright condemnation by the Catholic Church with fearless grace. She would later in life talk candidly about the reality and pain of living through two (studio approved!!) abortions during her short marriage to Frank Sinatra, and while the two of them could not make their relationship work, they remained in each other’s lives for nearly 30 years. She would forever describe herself as a small-town girl who just got lucky, but always felt like a beautiful outsider.

Really genuinely one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever seen. An autodidact. Had amazing chemistry with Gregory Peck to the point where I do think about watching On The Beach again sometimes because they're so good together even though that movie did destroy me. Was a great femme fatale in many movies.

Anna May Wong propaganda:

"She so so gorgeous!! Due to Hollywood racism she was pretty limited in the roles she got to play but even despite that she’s so captivating and deserves to be known as a leading lady in her own right!! When she’s on screen in Shanghai Express I can’t look away, which is saying something because Marlene Dietrich is also in that film."

"SHE IS ON THE BACK OF QUARTERS also she was very smart and able to speak multiple languages and is a fashion icon on top of the acting/singing"

"Paved the way for Asian American actresses AND TOTAL HOTTIE!!! She broke boundaries and made it her mission to smash stereotypes of Asian women in western film (at the time, they were either protrayed them as delicate and demure or scheming and evil). In 1951, she made history with her television show The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong, the first-ever U.S. television show starring an Asian-American series lead (paraphrased from Wikipedia). Also, never married and rumor has it that she had an affair with Marlene Dietrich. We love a Controversial Queen!"

"She's got that Silent Era smoulder™ that I think transcends the very stereotypical roles in which she was typically cast. Also looks very hot smouldering opposite Marlene Dietrich in "Shanghai Express"; there's kiss energy there."

"Hot as hell and chronically overlooked in her time, she's truly phenomenal and absolutely stunning"

"A story of stardom unavoidably marred by Hollywood racism; Wong's early-career hype was significantly derailed by the higher-up's reluctance to have an Asian lead, and things only got worse when the Hayes code came down and she suddenly *couldn't* be shown kissing a white man--even if that white man was in yellowface. After being shoved into the Dragon Lady role one too many times, she took her career to other continents for many years. Still, she came back to America eventually, being more selective in her roles, speaking out against Asian stereotypes, and in the midst of all of this finding the time to be awarded both the title of "World's Best Dressed Woman" by Mayfair Mannequin Society of New York and an honorary doctorate by Peking University."

"Incredible beauty, incredible actress, incredible story."

"-flapper fashion ICON. look up her fits please <3 -rumors of lesbianism due to her Close Friendships with marlene dietrich & cecil cunningham, among others -leveraged her star power to criticize the racist depictions of Chinese and Asian characters in Hollywood, as well as raise money and popular support for China & Chinese refugees in the 1930s and 40s. -face card REFUSED to decline"

Hello!

So I was wondering what was the reaction of the Ro when they learned that James abdicte and Mc will become the Harbinger? Maybe also the reaction of Anna and th queen?? Although Ithnk that the reaction of Castillon and the Queen maybe spoilerd so feel free to ignore.

Love

Hi there :) Here are the reactions:

Vivian: She was confused and annoyed by this news. It was not like James to be unpredictable. And it was even less like him to make such an important decision without counsel. She wondered if this was a response to fear. Does he fear assassination after what happened to Percival? And what of MC? They are not prepared for this.

Anna: Anna was concerned for both James and MC when she found out that he had abdicated. Will he be okay? Will MC? She also felt helpless. She knew MC needed support now more than ever. But she also knew James would need support because he'd made a decision that would change the course of Castelon.

Margaret: Margaret wasn't sure what to make of the announcement. She'd met the prince a couple of times when she was doing things for the Queen. But she didn't know MC. And that scared her because she doesn't like instability. The game has begun.

Constantine: Constantine was the first person to learn of James' plans. He was caught off guard when James told him his plans - but he was not surprised. He never wanted this. I've known that since the day I met him.

Felix: Felix wasn't sure what to make of it. Although he knew MC, but he's never been too close to James. But he was sure of one thing. Whatever comes will surely be interesting to watch.

F: F was already worried about MC because of the King's assassination. Now, they were worried about whether MC would be okay. Do they want this? And what if they don't? F wasn't sure what the future held but they knew they wanted to be someone MC could count on.

last night my sister’s new husband’s mom was walking around the living room and showing everyone pictures on her phone (one of which was a wedding photo of my sister and her husband, the other was an ADRINETTE DRAWING SHE FOUND ON MY INSTAGRAM) and kept telling everyone how similar they looked😭😭
