The fact that I asked "whose that red head that's always around Nightwing and Red Hood" last week and almost all of you replied with some variation of "which one".... Iconic

out of curiousity, have you ever read d.gray man? Not really a recc or anything cuz it has a lot of flaws even if it has really compelling stuff esp late game, but if you had i'm kind of curious what you would think about it

I read it in middle school and I think I really liked levi (?) (the redhead guy) and then he disappeared forever and I fell off. that’s all I remember

I was randomly going through Reddit, not even ACOTAR related, and saw a comment that said: “Red heads were kissed by fire, I'm into that shit.” 😂💀

Elain 🤝 Azriel 🤝 Jurian = having sexy redheads as lovers

SO. FUCKING. TRUE.

why anyone would want them to not be with a redhead is beyond me. like they're wild and will make their lives exciting and their sex lives so thrilling they'd never want anyone else. i will die on this hill

In the event of a Muppets spin off series, which Muppets would you give the roles for for the cast of Villain Coded? (+which one would be the token human?)

I think the funniest answer is the whole trio as the token humans having to deal with being surrounded by muppets. trying to pull off a heist and these guys keep blowing past them and causing Horrific Shenanigans. if it must be a sole token human, first thing that came to mind was token human Minnie with bunsen & beaker as davey and buck respectively

What is Cinderella's hair color?

This is totally up to interpretation! Ilene Woods was pretty much the basis of everything when they were creating Cinderella, from her temperament to her facial structure to her coloring to her sayings to her eye placement when she smiled, and even Ilene's hair color is hard to read. She was definitely objectively blonde- she was referred to as such on radio shows and even in the press announcement that was released when she was cast as Cinderella. But in a lot of photographs, her hair appears brunette on camera- and there's a few reasons for this. First and foremost, the relatively primitive nature of cameras from that time period really couldn't capture nuances in natural tones- so unless your hair was platinum white or bleached, it would probably read brunette, and everything else would register as darker, inevitably. Plus, we're used to seeing people with bleached/colored hair these days, so what is truly considered a natural blonde- albeit dirty or a darker or just a more "natural" toned blonde- many contemporary people refer to, on a superficial lens- as brunette. So, I think Ilene was a dirty blonde, even though I've seen pictures of her later in life where she looks like a neutral blonde that is neither very light or very dark.

When it comes to Cinderella's intended/official hair color, that's also a can of worms. So, people are quick to discredit the platinum blonde Cinderella has appeared with in the 80s/90s/2000s/2010s merch and say she's a 'strawberry' blonde. They claim this is because of how she looks in the 'original' movie, but they're using the 2013 blu ray/2005 dvd master to go off of, which is even influencing current artwork of Cinderella in the Disney Princess franchise, and that master- beyond scrubbing all the linework out of the film (see screenshot below- look at how even the 1988 VHS maintains the lines in the bedding better than the 2005 and 2013 rubbery effect) also had inaccurate representations of the color relationships between elements in the film, which- again- means that you're not going to see what was intended.

The team that worked on remastering the current 4K edition of Cinderella that came out this year (which I love btw! I'm still not super pleased with certain changes BUT it's a MASSIVE, MASSIVE improvement over the 2005/2012 master that had been done in 2003 and is far more pleasing to look at and, generally, my favorite restoration Disney has officially done) said that they referenced the original cel artwork, as well as promotional materials like lobby cards to better understand what the artistic intent was...and that's tricky. Because, while they interpreted it better than remasters of the 2000s/2010s which sought to LITERALLY make the film look exactly like the raw cel art, these movies were not meant to be viewed as, I do think they still stuck too close to the cel colors. Due to the nature of technicolor, a lot of color tests had to be done so that the artists could see what the finished product would look like after it had gone through the process of being printed on film- because it was always apt to differ greatly from the artwork on cel. A good example of this is the fact that blonde hair didn't read so the artists had to color it with a green tint on the original cels (see first screenshot below) so that it'd appear blonde on camera. However, again, I think the team looked too deeply into this and now we've ended up with a master, a gorgeous one, but a faulty one that depicts Cinderella's hair as almost green in 2023 (see right screencap from 4K remaster)

When it comes to lobby cards, they're not going to be accurate either. I've seen lobby cards that were released in 1959 that depict Aurora as a brunette, blonde, and redhead, and they even change the color of her peasant dress to green, blue, pink- anything you can think of. And Cinderella's hair differs greatly in the lobby cards from the 50s themselves

The funny thing is, it really seems to be decade dependent. I actually have access to a 1973 print and I think that's what the basis for the 2005/2013 master was, because the colors are very similar to that strawberry blonde and even the hues of the hallway in the chateau look nearly identical to the 2005/2013, and we never seen those colors again outside of those two masters. It's so odd it premiered in the 70s, that specific master, because in that decade, and in the 60s, they marketed Cinderella more as a brunette and gave Aurora the blonde title (which was reversed in the 2000s, where they almost made Aurora a light brunette and made Cinderella platinum beyond belief):

You can even see Disney's confusion at what her hair is supposed to be; in the sequel, they gave Cinderella the platinum hair of the marketing at the time, but in the third movie, they tried to be more 'faithful' and cinematic and went off of the current, faulty, master of the time...which resulted in an unappealing turnout, imo? Like her skin and hair shouldn't be that close, color relationship wise, on film? (again, merch is always a different color)

Also in House of Mouse, which is generally accurate with a lot, they make Pete put a red wig on when he's in Cinderella garb, indicating they thought that was the color of her hair at that point:

Also, I feel like she's not supposed to be a true redhead or lean as close to strawberry blonde or people say she is? Again, cels shouldn't be viewed strictly for the color themselves, but if we observe the color relationship between her hair and that of Anastasia's- who is a true redhead- there's a huge difference:

There are also a few production notes that we do have that can help a little. We know Cinderella's Prince was made to have much darker hair to contrast hers, so they could be visually striking with one another, again leading us to the conclusion that she does have light hair (which kinda dodges the 60s/70s artwork where she's a dusty brunette). We also know that Disney tried to make the Prince in Snow White sandyhaired, but it came across on camera as dark brown and didn't provide that much of a contrast to Snow White, which they were able to capture more successfully in books of that era, all through even the 80s/90s. I, personally, really love this book especially and I find the colors of everything- the interiors, Cinderella, her dress, etc- ring true to me, personally:

And this color can be seen anywhere as brunette to some, to sandy, to blonde, to dirty blonde, to slightly red- and that's how I think Cinderella's hair is. I think she's a warm level 7, if we're going by a professional hair chart, and it's like a russet blonde color? Hints of red that could make someone see her as a redhead, or just a blonde, or to some who view blondes as solely being platinum, she'd almost even appear as a brunette. That being said, Aurora is definitely a blonde and in the current master we have, her skin appears pink/red and her hair looks greenish, so if anyone who's working on the future 4K master of Sleeping Beauty could fix that, it would be greatly appreciated!!

JJ Carey and Phillippa!

hehehehehe I JUST THINK THEYRE NEAT :3

They've been friends since childhood; the two of them were briefly penpals during Voyager's time in the Delta Quadrant while the ship was in contact with Starfleet. They've sporadically kept up the habit of writing letters to each other into their adult years. Ummmm JJ loves ship models and enjoys showing Philippa what he's working on, Philippa thinks it's cute in a corny nerd way. :) I've been humoring the idea of MAYBE shipping them but for now they're just good mostly long distance friends. JJ's had a crush on Philippa for a while tho.

DO YU SHIP STEVE WITH TREVOR…

tbh sounds silly I <3 rarepairs AAUDJSKFJG

ITS SILLY IK, i just like.. how they act to each other[?] LIKE, THE SXUAL TENSION BETWEEN TREV N HEINZ IS, ya know.. goofy

Anyways thanks 4 ask anon 🗣️💋

[coldtomyflash]

The sheer EXCITEMENT at that response! I will be there at every single update as soon as I can if you do end up going back to it!! Seriously. Oh my gosh. I mostly sent that ask in on a whim (I’m not much on tumblr. I just created this one a couple months ago to ask a different user permission to bind their fic that basically got me through chemo lmao and I didn’t want that publicly posted so account creation was the only option) when I randomly thought about coldflash for the first time in ages and THEN went to reread my favorite coldflash fic (Tumbling Together followed by These Violent Delights actually haha) which instead made me reread that one chapter of Mighty Fine Predicament before coming here (and now I’m back to the first thing I wanted to do - reread Tumbling Together)

Also though - You write supernatural fic? On AO3? I didn’t know this! I want to read your supernatural fics if you’re ok with sharing that handle!

Tumbling Together and These Violent Delights seems like an absolutely wonderful and whiplash-inducing combo to read back to back haha.

thank you for this lovely message <3 i can't make any promises about finishing Mighty Fine Predicament, but i'm glad it's in the realm of possibility now. i'm also hope your health situation is improved or going okay <3

and yeah i've been writing wincest fics since 2019 when i got back into supernatural (after several years away) as it was starting its final season. i engage differently with that fandom and with my audience in that space compared to how i engage(d) with coldflash. overall i write different (often heavier) themes for spn and do so a bit more unapologetically, and i tag a lot less, and don't (to the best of my ability) have such long-winded author's notes. if any of that sounds up your alley, my pseud for that fandom is Dyed_Red, and if you want to ask me about supernatural or engage with me in that space, please direct it over to @dyed-red or to my main @phynali. i try to keep this blog focused on dc/arrowverse content :)

[daenystheedreamer]

oversharing era was funny tho, go gurl obliterate that twink

unfortunately it was extremely funny 😭 im back to thinking hey it would be REALLY funny to date him. also so i have access to his white suburban mother so i have someone to talk about pride and prejudice with. i just have to keep reminding myself that it's 'fucked up' and 'kinda autistic' to view your life as a series of episodes you script and make your friends have character arcs cos you feel like they need character development. he IS a twink too and bisexual but i think hes just going through a phase ngl :/ i think he just wants to get pegged

[gwyns]

There’s something about a redhead with angsty dark haired boys. I always knew that Azriel was destined to end up with a redhead.🔥🤍

you and me both, anon! before acosf i was out here shipping az with vassa, and i even had her referring to him simply as "shadowsinger" in the couple of short fics i wrote for myself. oh! and before that i made an acotar oc that was an autumn court fae with red hair and had relations to the vanserra family lol

so i like to joke that i manifested gwyn with all that

[helpersofindie]

Brittany looks like ginger

wait who is ginger?

[housewifebuck]

Speaking of hair, do we know what his actual hair color is? I’ve seen pics of Oliver floatin around where he has super dark hair. But his hair is mostly like a weird blonde/brown color except season 4 or 5 I think? Where his hair is significantly darker than any other season? I’ve spent days thinking about it

Uhhhhhhh i am the wrong person to ask I haven’t rly seen a lot of pictures of him not in character. I thought he was like a strawberry blond 😩 and sometimes lighter colored hair can be lightened by the sun a bit so I’m sure it fluctuates somewhat

[spookyboywhump]

*nicholas, shaking cain* how on EARTH did you do it???? why was he so GOOD??

Nicholas is losing his mind because he knew cain wasn’t the most competent owner but he still needs to know what magic he worked to get Wren to be so GOOD
