Rosie ep 6 outfits collection

[zbsinbloom]

ZB1 reaction: you buy tickets to see Barbie

A/N: these are written to be you as their friend, but you could read it as their partner too. Big thanks to one of my besties Rosie for the idea 💖

Trigger warnings: food mentions (Matthew, Taerae & Gyuvin), 'Canada Oppa Agenda' slander

👠 Jiwoong

When you show him the tickets he goes "heh… okay" and you think he doesn't wanna go with you so you tell him it's okay, you can go with one of your friends

Boy has an internal struggle right there, cause of course he'll go with you but he doesn't wanna show it

He takes your hand and smiles at you, telling you if you wanna see it with him then he'll go just to see you happy

"Jiwoong are you crying?" "No what, I just have hayfever" "...inside?"

💄 Zhang Hao

Just accepts it. He wasn't planning on seeing it but he's not against the idea

"Do you think I should buy some new hairclips for this?" Will buy Barbie hairclips because why not?

People love them and ask him where he got them. Congrats he's an influencer now

Afterwards you're hanging out and he keeps acting out scenes from the movie. He wants you to join in with him and it gradually gets more and more dramatic until you burst out laughing

💅 Hanbin

If you think he would say no for even a second, you're wrong. You wanna go? With him? Okay

Makes you dress up to go with him. Will not take no for an answer. Even if people look at his Ken costume like "??" he does not care. He is Ken now

Makes you change his name in your contacts to Ken. You're either Barbie in his or "Other Ken"

He enjoyed it a lot more than you expected, but you decide not to question it at this point

🛍 Matthew

Sees the tickets and he is LIVING. Canada oppa who? Mattchu is here

Brings a pair of pink sunglasses even if it's not sunny outside just to get into the vibes, and literally doesn't care if anyone looks at him funny, he's having the time of his life

Afterwards you grab a bite to eat and talk about the movie, and he can't stop singing Barbie Girl by Aqua

Correction… neither of you can't stop singing

🎀 Taerae

Sure, why not. Like Hao, it wasn't on his to-watch list, but he doesn't mind watching it with you

Shows up at your house early because he wants fashion advice

??? First of all, Taerae, it's only the cinema, secondly ??? what is that outfit

Ends up eating all of your popcorn because he's just vibing honestly. Buys you a new one because he kinda feels bad. Makes sure it's the Barbie popcorn. It's only right

👠 Ricky

Boy is speechless. Can't decide if he should go along with it or if he should confess he already bought tickets to surprise you with

When he tells you, you find it hilarious but he's kinda disappointed he didn't get to surprise you (still finds it funny though)

Surprisingly kinda enjoys it?? Didn't think he would but he had a good time

You tease him about it later when you buy him a sparkly tiara and you see him regret his life decisions

💄 Gyuvin

"Hey, can we go and see Bar-" he sees you bought tickets already and gets so excited

Walks in and orders the Barbie popcorn (idk if they do this but ssh imagine) and is disappointed the popcorn isn't pink

Literally an unbothered king. Sits there like the icon he is

Good luck bestie, he's about to make this movie his entire personality. "Who's Gyuvin? My name is Barbie" whilst flipping his hair at you

💅 Gunwook

Can't decide how he feels about this. On one hand he feels embarrassed, but on the other he's so ready for this

Tempted to borrow Hao's hairclips but is too shy to actually wear them

Looks super serious whilst he's watching the movie, you'd think he's bored or something. Nope, he's just concentrating really hard on what's going on

10/10 ready to write a 3-page review on the movie afterwards giving his critique

🛍 Yujin

Boy is so shy like… what if his members see him there? He will literally never live this down

But he also doesn't want to upset you by trying to get out of it so he goes with you

Literally cannot look at the staff when he hands them the tickets and his cheeks are pink. Honestly they couldn't care less

Will never admit it but he didn't hate the movie. Please just don't tell Gyuvin…

Analyzing Alastor

I've been wanting to analyze our favorite radio deer demon Alastor for awhile. I want to discuss what makes him such a great character! First things first, what makes a good character. To me, a good character has to be entertaining and fit into the story/world setting in an organic way. I judge everything based on the 3 Ds (Insert dick joke here); Design, dialogue, and demeanor. It's easy to know what that means for a character, it gets more difficult with songs and episodes, but the actual analogy is the hardest to dissect since a character is the most vast. I will not be bringing up songs or episodes entirely for this analysis unless it is important to the character. Let's get to it. (Plz note that everything here is my opinion)

Alastor's design

A character's design is important. It has to be pleasant to look at and fit the character in a way that matches their personality, purpose, and who they are. Good character design should tell us at least 50% of who they are.

Looking at Alastor. What would you say his defining features are? To me, it's the ears, antlers, monocle, suit, and that yellow smile (I'm sure there's more but as of writing this I just got home from my first day of school so I don't want to spend an hour writing, sorryyy). What does this tell us about him.

First thing's first. Alastor is very obviously based off of a Wendigo. A Wendigo is a mythological creature originating from Native American folklore. They're most usually described as a cannibalistic beast that eats humans or possesses humans into eating other people. A lot of the times, they're presented as a deer. Hmmm who does that sound like? Alastor. In fact sometimes we can hear a wendigo sound when he's transforming to his demonic form. Anyway, anybody who digs into the past of Viv's creations would know Alastor was Vivienne's first creation that ended up in Hazbin Hotel. He was always a red cannibalistic deer. Though I do believe this is significant to his character still and am very glad these traits remained.

Alastor's monocle and suit seem more of a stylized choice. They make him look more at his time. More gentlemanly. Which was a very nice touch. It matches him.

(Look at him. Look at him and tell me he has a soul (Technically he doesn't own his)) One of the most iconic details about Alastor is his smile. The only times you'll see him frown is in single lucky paused frames. Design choices to the mouth like this can be touchy because if you do it wrong your character can look stiff and unexpressive. But I think the artists did a great job fixing this. Alastor isn't that expressive of a character, but it works.. Because that's the point. He's meant to be hard to read but at the same time when the show wants you to know how he feels you know. You feel his distress in the Finale, you feel his annoyance listening to the Egg Bois, you feel his pompousness in Stayed Gone. It's hard to judge how he feels in Hell's Greatest Dad however. It's hard to judge if he's genuinely happy around Niffty or Rosie. It's hard to judge how he feels when Husk is confronting him. This is good character design.

So I've spoken quite positively about Alastor's design. But it's not perfect. Let me say that if I had a choice I'd change one thing... I want to put it out there that I personally hate the whole "There's too much red!" argument... But I can't bring myself to argue about it when it comes to Alastor. And there's one reason why. I believe there was a missed opportunity with Alastor and it bugs me. Due to Alastor's old fashioned natrue I feel there was a missed opportunity to give Alastor a greyscale. Like old timey TV. I know he's not a TV but you guys know what I mean right? Or a browner color palette instead of red at the very least. That's honestly the only thing I'd change.

In conclusion, Alastor's design is honestly one of the best in the series. You look at this man and you both know exactly what he's about and nothing at the same time. You know Alastor is a sly lil guy just by looking at that constant smile. It's not exactly perfect as I can see how people would say, find that hairstyle a little goofy however. I personally think it fits him but yeah.

I give Alastor's design an 8/10

Before I move on I will briefly say that I personally prefer Alastor's new design. It just looks smoother and better. But I appreciate that this old design feels older and more vintage.

Ok, so I was about to put my full analysis in this post but its been two weeks since I announced I'm reviewing the show and I haven't posted anything related to that. So, I'm just going to split each into 3 and post this while I work on the rest of my review. Part 2 coming out soon! Next I will analyze Alastor's dialogue.

I apologize for this being so long, I just love talking about this show, it's so good! :3

Lord of the Rings Characters as Youtubers

Aragorn: Vlogs like once every other month, always out in the wild, maybe does a Q&A once, always shows his horse, has cinematic footage of mountains from a drone, philosophical voiceover, gets over 1 million views every time he posts

Legolas: Makes fun of Aragorn's vlogs, finds him in the middle of the woods, acts like Steve Irwin finding an animal in the wild, Gimli appears every once in a while, making weird comments and joining in making fun of Aragorn, Legolas also tries 5 Minute Crafts life hacks and tests them out with Gimli

Gimli: See "Legolas"

Frodo: Reviews books, teaches English language arts, also teaches other languages for free, talks about publishing his own book, very calm

Sam: Cooking channel, does a taste test every once in a while featuring Rosie, Frodo, Merry, and Pippin. Merry and Pippin weren't supposed to be there the first time they did it, but then they crashed the taste test and the viewers loved them so much that they had to be there for the rest of the time

Merry and Pippin: Commentary channel, they make fun of everything and crack the worst jokes, sometimes they do pranks just to make fun of the prank channels but Pippin enjoys them far too much, the weirdest editing, constantly reference Vine, they also make really stupid music videos about the weirdest subjects

Eowyn: Tests out weapons of all kinds, also rants about everything in her life, enters into Renaissance Faire duels and battles and films them, talks about what formal wear you can pair with a nice sword, weird editing, uses memes a lot

Faramir: Cozy vlogs with Eowyn, talks about meaningful subjects, talks about old poetry and goes into the deeper meanings of them

Boromir: Vlogs with Merry and Pippin, makes workout videos, constantly advertises Faramir's channel and links it in the description, very fun

Eomer: His videos are a lot like Boromir's videos, but with more horses, essentially a cowboy, does a lot of horseback riding and includes Eowyn a lot

Arwen: Fashion expert, models her clothes, makes her own, does a lot of Q&As and gets to know her fans with live videos

Gandalf: Posted exactly one (1) video and it was a blurry video of Pippin trying to ride a little Barbie car over a fence and crashing it and Gandalf being like, "Fool of a Took."

10 Types of Aesthetics If You Want to Switch up Your Wardrobe ~Vibes~

1. E-girl

Borrowing its looks from anime, "e-girls" typically have dyed hair (mostly concentrated to the two front sections like Dua Lipa here) and hyper-stylized makeup that exaggerates their eyes and cheeks. Many even draw on tiny hearts or freckles on their faces and pile on the blush to give their cheeks an extra-rosy hue, although there are also those who opt for no or minimal makeup. Hair clips, mesh clothing, choker necklaces, and silver jewelry are some key items to pull off the extremely online vibe, and while gaming culture is part of it, you don't necessarily have to be on World of Warcraft to partake.

2. AngelCore

Angelcore is a contemporary aesthetic inspired by imagery and depictions of angels, and is adjacent to devilcore. The aesthetic is designed to emulate the same unearthly beauty that European angels are described and depicted with, though it can also include non-European angel aesthetics.

3. Soft Girls

It fully leans into bright hair barrettes and pastel colors. The outfits look ultra-romantic and often include pinks and purples, pleated skirts, florals, sweater vests, and cardigans. Some iterations, however, also incorporate edgy contrasting items like chunky boots, black baguette bags, or statement sunglasses, but it can still be "soft" because it's about the overall ~aura~ you're giving off. Click for some soft girl outfit ideas for even more examples.

4. Grunge

Think back to the late '80s and early '90s when bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam reigned and flannels were *the* fashion staple. Marc Jacobs also released a now-iconic grunge collection for Perry Ellis in 1992 that was inspired by the burgeoning music scene coming out of the Pacific Northwest. The fashion result of the aesthetic is loads of mesh, plaid, mixed prints, combat boots, and layered choker necklaces. A guitar or two in the background of a photo doesn't hurt either, like singer beabadoobee here.

5. Cottagecore

Imagine wearing a prairie dress or a breezy nightgown and living in a cute tiny cottage surrounded by a garden you tend to everyday. Sounds like pure bliss, right? The cottage and garden might be a stretch, but at least you can attain the illusion that you own both by wearing a floral or eyelet number reminiscent of The Little House on the Prairie. Brands like Christy Dawn, DÔEN, and Hill House Home (with its viral "Nap Dress") can help you in this department.

6. Art Hoe

This movement originated on Tumblr with the Black and LGBTQ+ community expressing themselves through art and collages.

While the term "hoe" can be controversial, the gender-fluid co-creator of the aesthetic, Mars, explained to The Guardian: “‘Art hoe’ or ‘art ho’ is a term used by me and my co-founder Jam to empower and uplift participants of color in this movement... it's normally a derogatory way to refer to women–especially Black women–as being promiscuous, within the male gaze. Using the term in an arbitrary way diminishes its harmful origin in light of something better.”

The color yellow is often affiliated with this aesthetic as is a vintage-looking outfit that channels nature or art, like this adorable House of Sunny cardigan above.

7. Baddie

This is that look that is made for the IG grid. A tight-fitting dress, full makeup, and designer pieces are giveaways for this aesthetic. Beauty bloggers and the Kardashian/Jenner clan are pros at channeling the vibe, as well as Lori Harvey here with her full Dior ensemble. Like, WOW.

8. Dark Academia

Tweed blazers, sweater vests, and anything that reminds you of prep school or a fancy (and much-too-expensive) East Coast university are staples for this aesthetic. The "dark" wording though simply means the tones of your outfit skew on the darker side and typically include browns and blacks.

9. Light Academia

The same but lighter colors! A very simple explanation, I know. Whites, creams, and beiges are the tones you should wear to get in on this vibe.

10. Fairycore

The beauty of fairycore is that there is no recipe: Each item looks individually crafted because the aesthetic embraces the uniqueness of the wearer, even if there are staple pieces to complete the fairy look. For example, elements of fairycore can be traced back to recent history, long before it hit the internet mainstream (and our social media feeds) in 2021. From young women wearing flower crowns at music festivals to even little girls wearing tutus to school, the spirit of fairycore has always been within us. It’s just seeing a massive resurgence now, especially with fairy-adjacent media like Winx Club.

New Written Review from Mike Crowley on You’ll Probably Agree: 10 Reasons Why ‘Blade Runner 2049’ is better than ‘Blade Runner’

If you haven’t’ seen the movie, see it then read this. No intro, let’s jump right in.

1. K is a replicant

The reveal of K’s genetic code, or lack thereof, flips everything we assume the movie will be on its head. We are learning along with K what it means to exist. Do we as humans, live like replicants? Do we obey a society that treats us like trash but breath anyways out of the fear of death? Where we viewed “Blade Runner” mostly through Deckard’s eyes who didn’t have much of a personality, K’s lack of a character is his entire purpose for existing. For K to emote is to face death.

Where Harrison Ford’s Deckard entire arc was us questioning if he’s human or not (despite what Ridley Scott unequivocally says), there’s nothing much of substance to Officer Deckard. He gets drunk, retires replicants, that’s it. Name one thing that makes Deckard standout? I’ll wait. Ryan Gosling’s Officer K goes from a machine that is dying spiritually on the inside to someone wanting to have a purpose in life. All while maintaining his composure, if perhaps too much poise for the film. Anything with a conscious can feel. Whether or not how it was made is as relevant as where you were born or what skin color you are. The importance is that you’re here.

K doesn’t seek gratitude nor affirmation. He doesn’t suffer from a narcissistic personality. All he wants is not just to be another useless piece of metal.

2. Deckard has depth this time

Being a daddy changes you a lot. Rick isn’t just a slouchy drunk who likes to shoot robots out of legal obligation. He’s a man who’s principles and love for forbidden things cost him his life. What kind of soul did Deckard have in the first film? Who did he care for? Please don’t say, Rachel, we all know why he was attracted to Rachel. Like Winston in 1984, Deckard rejects Big Brother for a life of pain to gain a glimmer of happiness. 

3. It’s horrifyingly relevant

Denis Villeneuve based the imagery in 2049 on a planet that has become degraded with pollution. The buildings are extrapolating enormous amounts of water into the atmosphere, the sea wall at the end of the picture will be our new Mount Rushmore, the orange Vegas is happening now. Denis Villeneuve didn’t predict the earth looking like this, but his production team was still spot on. A picture that transcends its very style, developing a look that will be discussed on its merits separate from the ubiquitous original, is a stunning achievement.

Everything isn’t dystopian because that’s the way it was in the book. It’s what will happen to us in real life, why we’d look for colonies to live on if we had the technology or funding towards NASA to do so. God help us all.

4. The love story questions the essence of relationships

The story between K and Joi further examines the meaning of love, sex, and mortality, with the two being different versions of artificiality. When the default sexed-up version of a naked Joy pops up on the screen, we are emotionally mortified. Some of us may be repulsed to observe a character we care for utilized like a thirsty Godzilla.

The towering ad tries to seduce K tempting him to buy it, rendering everything Joi said to K throughout the picture questionable. Its manipulation solidifies his final decision in life to help another man. We’re not sure if she loved him or said what it thought it wanted him to hear throughout the narrative. Possibly Joi herself didn’t know her intentions. An unusual amount of nuance and uncertainty rests in the love story. Who do we love? Why do we love? Do we love by the heart or the heart of our designers whom we don’t know?

Meanwhile, Deckard was just drunk and horny when he bashed Rachel up against the wall. Sorry, that really was all there was to their passion despite what Wallace says.

5. The movie was an honest commentary about how the world views woman

Here’s a controversial one. A lot of women were disgusted by the way they were depicted in the film. Outwardly watching the movie, I can’t blame them. I’ll let Mr. Villeneuve speak for himself. “I am very sensitive to how I portray women in movies. This is my ninth feature film and six of them have women in the lead role. The first Blade Runner was quite rough on the women, something about the film noir aesthetic. But I tried to bring depth to all the characters. For Joi, the holographic character, you see how she evolves. It’s interesting, I think. What is cinema? Cinema is a mirror on society. Blade Runner is not about tomorrow; it’s about today. And I’m sorry, but the world is not kind on women.”

Villeneuve is right. Women today are still sexualized. Even with the Me Too movement, women are continually seen as sex objects or subservient slaves in a male-dominated society. Villeneuve isn’t interested in painting a rosy picture that Hollywood does for female roles to make the audiences feel comfortable. It’s an honest reflection on who we are. What we see is what we don’t want to see, but that’s part of the honesty of cinema.

6. The score is mesmerizing

Another point in which I may face some contention. Yes, Vangelis’ score is iconic, but it only works for the era it was composed in. Much of its mixture of bleeps, blops, and wind chimes are a product of its time. A lot of emotion is missing from the score other than the opening theme and “Tears In Rain.” Hearing much of the soundtrack while on the road, I sometimes thought I was listening to something from a porno. Take a listen to “Wait For Me” in the soundtrack and tell me otherwise. Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Walfisch’s score is timeless while also paying respect to Vangelis’ synthetic use in the original. It dives into the character’s mind providing a replication of something more human than what Vangelis composed.

7. It thematically ties more directly to “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” than “Blade Runner” does.

“Blade Runner” got the overall gist of Phillip K Dick’s novel. Replicants are scared, trying to find a way to survive as Deckard hunts them down. However, the Andies in the movie almost deserve to die. In their quest for more life, they torture and kill multiple civilians. What did the guy making the eyes do to deserve being frozen to death? What about J.R. Sebastian? He was nothing but pleasant to Roy and Pris. Did Roy eye gauge him when he was done with Tyrell?

Aside from Luv (Sylvia Hoeks), our replicants are fully rounded people. Sapper Morton is a watchful protector who was meant to be a NEXUS 8 combat medic; Joi’s true intentions come into question for herself and us. K’s inner conflict is the central core of the story. All of this revolves around the meaning of existence within a world that has forgotten about you. The introduction of Robo procreation is an evolution of Dick’s ideas, widening his notion of why life exists in the first place.

8. It doesn’t get lost in the scale

Many sequels love scope over characters. Remember “The Matrix”? Remember how they talked about Zion and all these other things we didn’t see? When the sequels brought in Zion, the focus got lost in the spectacle. “The Matrix Reloaded” was a bumbling CGI mess of Agent Smith Clones and cave orgies. “The Matrix Revolutions” was a glorified “Space Invaders” game. Shoot as many sentinels as you can before becoming overwhelmed. Amidst the sequels bumbling chaos, I missed the smaller scale of the Nebuchadnezzar crew.

The story of “2049” could have focused on the replicant uprising with thousands of robots slamming into humans. We could have gone off-world to finally see what all these other colonies we’ve heard about are like. Some have argued that the movie could have borrowed some of its source material from the later novels about replicants creating humans, so on and so forth. All of that sounds incredible in theory. In execution, you would likely get “The Matrix” sequels.

A movie that overreaches in scope, attempting to please fans by showing everything. What we got was an incredibly meaningful story that further explores the themes of the original while building upon its world without going too far. We see what’s beyond L.A. on the dilapidated west coast. The answer is not much. The film aims at minimalism over extravaganza.

9. We’re still talking about it

After being MIA for decades, “Blade Runner 2049” isn’t forgotten. I can’t say the same for “Superman Returns,” “Monsters University,” “The Incredibles 2,” “Live Free or Die Hard,” and “Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull.” In fairness, people do talk about Indy 4, but not in a positive fashion. “Blade Runner 2049” returned to the limelight with disastrous box office results yet high accolades, even gaining the Academy’s attention. Ironically it seemed destined to live the life of its predecessor.

“2049” may have tanked because it was a multimillion-dollar art film that respected its audience’s intelligence. Maybe “Blade Runner” was too far gone amongst the public to gain an interest geared almost entirely towards comic books and Disney. I think the trailers after the reveal teaser looked too generic for my own two cents, turning me off from the film for a short while.

Here we are with Honest Trailers in 2020, making a video about a film that came out in 2017. Bloodsoaked orange skies from the headlines mention the atmosphere of this film. Somewhere, about 100 other people are writing their analysis of “Blade Runner 2049” as I type right now. Seven years from now, we’ll be talking about why the world is still like “Blade Runner 2049.” Villeneuve made a timeless sequel to be remembered.

10. It’s better than the first film and one of the best films in the last ten years

Here’s why you’ll probably agree with this one when you put your pitchfork down. Remove your nostalgia goggles. I know it’s hard to do, please, trust me. Look at the points I made above. Think about how ironic the love story is to our lives. The layers of meaning behind K’s existence is lightyears beyond the featureless Rick Deckard. The picture isn’t flawless. Niander Wallace is spectacularly corny in his scenery-chewing grim monologues. Dr. Eldon Tyrell had some ambiguity regarding the morale of his intentions. For that, I’ll give the original the benefit of my doubt. I understand Ryan Gosling was cast to be intentionally deadpan, but it’s okay to emote once. His distant stare in all of his other performances made it difficult for me to discern myself from the actor’s rather dull persona.

With this said, “Blade Runner 2049” understands cinema. Its atmosphere is why we venture into a dark room that takes us to a different place. Denis Villeneuve’s masterful follow up is one of the most orgasmic cinematic experiences I have witnessed in the last ten years that demands a re-screening in 2022 when theatres reopen at an entirely safe capacity. The style doesn’t overshadow its substance, which is far richer in detail than the original without grasping at blatant metaphors. “Blade Runner 2049” is slow cinema at its finest, letting us into the character’s heads, knowing when to be quiet and when to be loud.

Like “The Empire Strikes Back,” not everyone appreciated the movie at first. Time has been incredibly kind to it, though. I wish the Academy recognized “Blade Runner 2049” beyond its technical marvels in 2018. I suppose it wasn’t the type of picture that catches Oscar voter’s eyes. But it has acquired the audience’s to this day. Now, if you could just look up and to the left for me?

My Top 10 Favorite TV Halloween Costumes

Mysterylover123

#10. Daphne Moon as Elton John

Frasier 906 10/30/2001

This ep had everyone dress up as their personal heroes, and Daphne, ever the style icon of the cast, picks Sir Elton John. I wish I’d found more ‘guys as girls’ and ‘girls as guys’ costumes for this list, but this’ll do for Daph. 

#9. Barney Stinson as America

Barney was always the best dressed of all the HIMYM cast, but definitely on Halloween, he pulled out all the stops in each of the eps. While I must give a nod to Top Gun, Karate Kid and Devil, this one is Peak hilarity Barney, and leads to the American Barney vs Canadian Barney fight. A definite Winner!

#8. Phoebe Buffay as Supergirl

These next two are both characters as Comic Book Heroes. Friends picked only from DC ladies, and Phoebe definitely nailed Supergirl. Monica’s Catwoman is pretty good too, but is a little dull compared to Michelle Pfeiffer’s look from the 92 film. Phoebe away!

#7. Stan Kyle Kenny and Cartman as The Avengers

And now the Marvel entry. Or rather the South Park boys as the Earth’s mightiest heroes. Even with Stan only present as Cap on an iphone, they still pretty much nailed it (If only they’d had Wendy to play Black Widow, it’d be complete!). I like how they all kinda picked the right one: Cartman as the Hulk, the cool and troubled Kenny as Iron Man, the stoic and nice  Stan as Cap, etc. 

#6. Mary Jane Watson as a Vampire

From characters dressing as Marvel to Marvel dressing as  characters! I wish there were more Marvel shows with Halloween eps to draw from, but SSM will have to do. MJ as always is a fashion icon and her vampire costume is my favorite “sexy” costume for a girl on TV - because it makes sense for MJ’s character to wear something demonstrative. 

#4. Clark Kent as Zorro

And now for DC Halloween costumes! Smallville’s Halloween ep is silly as f but it is fun to see Clark dressed as Batman’s favorite character. I guarantee you that’s why they did this.

#4. Ochako Uraraka as a Witch

Not sure where these costumes came from, but as usual Uraraka is the winner for best fashion sense of all the BNHA girls. She really likes dressing up as a witch, doesn’t she? Must be because she’s always DEFYING GRAVITY.

#3. Anya as a Bunny

Anya had by far the best Halloween costumes of anyone on Buffy, but this one definitely wins. In an episode all about confronting your worst fears, what could be better than to dress as your worst fear of all, BUNNIES?

2 Kyoya, Tamaki and Todoroki as sexy vampires

So what is the dude  equivalent of the Sexy Lady costumes that pervade on Halloween? Well, if anime is anything to go by, it’s the Vampire Look. I picked from 2 different anime here, but Bishonen anime boys in Vampire getups are definitely a sexy pick-me-up for the ladies. 

1 Leslie Knope as Rosie & Buttercup

Couldn’t decide between Leslie’s two big killer Halloween costumes so I picked both! Leslie’s definitely the Style Queen of Halloween. Rosie the Riveter and Princess Buttercup, a nice mix of red and blue colors. I hope I’m still this great at costuming in my late 30s. #LeslieKnopeisLifegoals

The Canucks are Attractive 101

by @markstrom, @feistyteee, @tomiath, @nhlmarkstrom, @huttsybobuttsy, @pyatts, @baercheese

This is the ultimate guide for anyone who ever said the Canucks are not attractive. Say goodbye to the world as you know it. 

First of all: Swedes. We all know it, Sweden somehow produces the best looking people on this planet and the Canucks have some of them. 

1. Jacob Markstrom 

Our starting goalie is 6′6 and no one can look at him without melting away. His voice and his sweet Swedish accent is the cutest thing you’ll ever hear. Also: eyebrows. Also: eyes. The curved nose needs a shoutout cause it’s adorable. His face is just a masterpiece of art and anyone who doubts this has, well, no idea of art. We also love to mention his tattoos because damn. 

2. Anders Nilsson

Only a fool might think one Swedish goalie is enough. Meet Anders Nilsson, another 6′6 goalie from Sweden. He’s the absolute purest sweetheart, as you can spot a pride flag on both his masks. To represent his gay friends, he says. His hair/beard color combo is different but it works. So. Damn. Well. Plus: the freckles, we love them dearly. Our Swedish goalies support each other at all times, goalie controversy? We don’t know her.

3. Alexander Edler 

He looks like Alexander Skarsgård but on skates. Another sweet Swedish blondie who is also the sweetest dad. His hair always looks on point and he does indeed have a nice tan in his pic. Probably best dressed Canuck, his fashion is on fire. What a man. 

4. Loui Eriksson

A man also known as The Poodle. His fluffy and curly hair make you want to touch it. His look is sometimes very weird and intimidating and some people might think of Louis Vuitton when hearing his name but remember, this kind of fur is completely Canucks branded. 

5-6. Henrik and Daniel Sedin

These are our leading Swedish fish and they do look the same. Some people might say they aren’t really pretty, but hey if you’re into gingers, we got two identical ones for you. We aim to please. 

Next: the team dads (Disclaimer: this does not mean they actually have kids). We got plenty of them and they’re mostly cute and obviously good with kids – or still single.

7. Sam Gagner

Sam Gagner aka Gags is a really smiley. GAGNER WITH SCRUFF IS ICONIC. Also smirk smirk smirk. He likes to wear an all white mouthguard that makes his teeth look weird during the game but that’s okay because he needs to protect his perfect smile at all costs! Bonus: He looks so comforting like you can trust him with your life.

8. Brandon Sutter

His sarcasm is A+ comedy. He also looks like he could play the role of a guy everyone falls in love with on The Young and the Restless. He’s just very pretty, hair is soft, light scrub and eyebrows are 👏🏼. His eyes are pretty and they are very kind. Also that little smile/smirk is giving me all kinds of feelings ngl.

9. Christopher Tanev

He most definitely looks better with teeth than without. Tanev is the protective type of guy, he takes pucks to the face for you but mostly for Marky, literally. Long hair don’t care. The soft, dark brown of his eyes can tell that he couldn’t hurt a fly. Bet he takes the ladies out on good dates too.

10. Michael del Zotto

“Michael Del Zotto does wedding photoshoot, does not actually get married”

“New Vancouver Canucks defenceman Michael Del Zotto was named one of our nation's 25 Most Eligible Bachelors”

“Just showed up, plugged in his iPod without anybody asking, just plugged it in”

Michael del Zotto, more commonly known as DJ MDZ has Italian heritage as you might realize in his name. He’s got curls curls curls. Simple, overall goof who often thinks too highly of himself. Further he’s the absolute kind and friendly standard Canadian. 

11. Erik Gudbranson

YOU CANT TELL ME HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE GQ COVER!!! Certified male model Erik Gudbranson. God definitely was in a very good mood when he gave him his face. His nose is straight and thin, it just makes you want to tap on it. His smile is very comforting and so is his look. His eyebrows are a statement. This guy knows for sure what a hairstyle is. His sense of fashion is straight out of a fashion magazine. The scrub is just the whipped cream on top, his face is artwork. 

12. Markus Granlund

Looks quiet and serious but has a great sense of humor and arguably some of the best Instagram posts. He’s from Finland so if you want a Finnish player we have all ages. He’s got pretty green eyes.

13. Alex Biega

Alex Biega is a cute family man. Great with kids, nice, cute smile, rosy cheeks, nice nose. Con: he has no hair, but you don’t see that when he’s wearing a helmet.

Next up: our young guns! They are all handsome af and just overall lovable. They’re fast and speedy and some of them are thicc af. Save the best for last, our personal favorites.

14. Ben Hutton

1. If you’re ever feeling down, watch a hutton video, he’s happy 24/7 and knows how to have fun. 2. He’s always smiling and his smile can brighten a room. 3. Those dance moves tho. Who knew a “Barbie girl” lip sync could be so hot. 

15. Darren Archibald

He is a wall, he is badass and that makes him so ass. His skin looks very soft and his beard does actually look good, not like Guddys. HIS BEARD IS PERFECT. His eyebrows are straight up goals and look at the dark, kind brown of his eyes. Beautiful.

16. Bo Horvat

Bo’s face is chiseled like a god. He carries his dog because he doesn’t want to make him walk. He love to go to the beach with his dog but he doesn’t let him swim because he’s “more of a sinker”. His nose is very cute and his body is damn well trained you can just look at him forever. Bo has very soft short hair and he is often amused by Brock’s non-existant smile. 

17. Brendan Gaunce

Baby face Brendan Gaunce has the hairstyle of a guy from elementary school. His lips are so red at all times it’s inhuman. He looks very innocent but it feels like he’s not. He’s just kind of there, no one really knows how or why. Kind of looks like a little baby deer. 

18. Tyler Motte

Fact: There are no good pics of him in the inter webs. Tyler “Applesauce” Motte kinda looks like a college kid from a frat. He’s a very fast skater and his penalty killing is absolutely sexie. 

19. Nic Dowd

Dowdy is just overall an incredibly handsome guy. That hair line and the wavy fluff, can you see it? Beautiful. The cheek bones? Beautiful. He could work as a male model if he wanted but fortunately he plays hockey to bless us with his beautiful face. 

20. Troy Stecher

Stechy has straight up the most adorable dog on this planet. Let’s be real if anyone says Phoebe isn’t their favorite Canuck they’re lying. Kind of an underrated defence man so not a lot of people fully appreciate him. He’s like that rough and tough hockey player that’s also very adorable. His voice is simply great. 

21. Brendan Leipsic

Where do we start here? First of all he calls his dog his son and it’s very adorable. Also his curls. CURLS. They match his face so well and they are absolutely adorable. His lips have a perfect shape and look so soft. Generally his face looks just super soft and kind. Also, have you ever noticed his fashion sense? Definitely one of the best dressed guys on the team. He’s also very aggressive on the ice and he hustles and works very well with our favorite d-man Derrick Pouliot. His nickname is delicious country gravy because he works so well with the chicken strip.

22. Brock Boeser

Here we go, it’s time for Prince Charming! The hockey community on here already knows how great he is and look I even found a rare footage of his shiny smile. Whenever he smiles he helps the global warming because his smile melts icebergs. Awesome. He always chews on his mouthguard rather than use it and his mom doesn’t like that. Oh, he also went to prom with a girl who has down syndrome and that’s really the type of guy he is. His flow is legendary and often his hair look like actual gold. He leaked his hair routine and apparently he just uses Head and Shoulders shampoo. 

23. Nikolay Goldobin

Goldy is the most adorable Russian puppy you can find anywhere in the NHL. His hair are super fluffy and he doesn’t know how to wear a hat but that only makes him look even more adorable. His nose is so small and round it’s absolute gold! Don’t even get me started on his eyebrows because they are flawless! He got the most innocent and sweet smile out there, he always seems happy. You want to squeeze his cheeks and generally just hug him. It seems like he gives nice hugs. 

24. Sven Bärtschi

@baercheese is here to confess her love: “My cute little Swiss boy ♥ my forever favourite & definitely underrated in the looks department & as a hockey player. His nose might not be straight but it’s still cute (I will fight you if you disagree) and his hair is always slicked back to perfection👌🏻 If you haven’t heard him talk you need to because he has a sight accent and it’s my favourite thing in the entire world 😍 He’s also a known dog lover & has a dog named Bear (named after himself basically), what’s not to love?”

25. Derrick Pouliot

Derrick Pouliot, also commonly known as Poulet, chicken strip and super strip is our cutest chubby teddy defenseman and we all know it. He grew up in the middle of nowhere in Saskatchewan and not a lot of people got to appreciate his beauty so far. His hair are the pure fluff and make you just want to run your hands through it. His face looks so soft, his eyes are warm and you just want to squeeze his cheeks ngl. Listen to his voice once and you never want to listen to something else ever again. He is not really tall and his hockey gear looks kind of too big for him, the others love to pat his head. Sometimes his hair get a little curly and it’s just the cutest thing ever. Just by looking at him you can tell that he gives the best and softest hugs ever and he makes you feel comfortable at all times. He is really silent and not outgoing, he needs a lot of time to feel comfortable with new people but that’s totally okay. He’s super cute with kids and just overall totally lovely and kind. A real Canadian.

26. Jake Virtanen

Jake Virtanen is the ultimate snack. He’s half Canadian, half Finnish and 100% babe. The man can skate. Fast. Right into my heart. To quote the great philosopher of our time, Taylor Swift, he’s so gorgeous, it actually hurts. He has the cutest dance moves and the most precious smile. When he does that little slanted smile, I swoon, you swoon, we swoon. Bonus: When he works hard his face turns red and it’s adorable lmao.
