WIP Ask Game

Rules: post the names of all the files in your wip folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it!

I wasn't tagged for this I'm just procrastinating, and it's been a while since I did this one so New! Filenames! Appear! I left out my main AU WIP and also a couple that got asked about in previous editions of this meme. These are all Loki show/MCU fics because apparently that is my Thing at the moment:

Propaganda

Isabel Jeans (Gigi)—gigi is not a good film but I think she’s absolutely stunning as the courtesan aunt! i want her entire wardrobe and then i want her to tell me how to sniff cigars and determine which diamonds are the good ones :3

Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style, Houseboat)—Major Italian star, first actress to win an Oscar for a performance not in English (for Two Women (1960)) and later when Roberto Benigni won an Oscar in 1999 he jumped over the chairs towards the stage going "Sophia Sophia!!" because he was running towards Sophia Loren and said he cared more about her than the Oscar, that's the effect she had on people. She was big in the 60s already even though she gained a lot more notoriety after that. And I mean. Can we take a moment and just.

This is round 1 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.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

Isabel Jeans:

Sophia Loren:

im submitting her in honor of my dad bc she was the first celebrity crush of his he ever admitted to me and my sister :) and he was right. shes so pretty

She has maxed out all her stats: beauty, elegance, sensuality, she's got it all. her mesmerizing eyes, her sensual mouth, her sharp face shape, her everything is so striking and unlike any other beauty in films. she was also voted the world most beautiful woman when she was freaking 65

OSCAR WINNER. Worked with some of the hottest leading men in Hollywood but remained faithful to her husband whom she had a loving marriage with till he died (even though Cary Grant almost tempted her once, it's complicated)

One of the most well-known sex symbols of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and unlike some unfortunate others, she seems to have been pretty well at peace with occupying that status. She made assertiveness and a tempestuous temper seem glamorous, and although she's famous for side-eying Jayne Manisfield's cleavage, honestly? She's one to talk.

Absolutely, drop-dead sexy, also a hard working, extraordinarily talented actress who didn't shy away from the less glamorous roles to gift us some gritty, memorable performances

JUST LOOK AT HER Y'ALL

Submitting this on behalf of my dad, who knows nothing of tumblr or this blog, but I remember being a kid watching Houseboat while my mom thirsted after Cary Grant, dad thirsted after Sophia Loren, and I was excited that they lived on a boat. Anyway, she's extremely beautiful and was an international star, doing a ton of movies in Italy before being recognized in the US.

Global superstar and my late grandfather's long time movie star crush and for a man as quiet as he was, and as hopelessly devoted to his wife as he was, the fact that I know that means she was EXCEPTIONAL.

Very smart and beautiful, the characters that she played (I mean those in the movies that I put in the previous question) are as strong and determined as her which I think adds to her hotness.

Big in the chest, snatched in the waist, pretty in the face 😳

Her performance in "Man of La Mancha" is just so very captivating. Dubbed as "the Italian Marilyn Monroe", she looks beautiful in any movie and at any age.

Sexy, beautiful, deep. A real star.

Forget the exotic sexpot of her Hollywood films and go back to her Italian career: sparking with Marcello Mastroianni as the woman who drives him mad and outwits all his fumbling attempts at macho posturing in their early films, and showing a tender side in their 1970s films. Sophia isn’t self-conscious about who she is or her beautiful body: she enjoys being herself and she wants us all to enjoy ourselves too.

She starred in films as a sexually emancipated persona and was one of the best known sex symbols of the time. She is a great cook and her filmography is immense.

On the misattributed quote that Sophia owed everything to spaghetti: 'Did you actually say the quote frequently attributed to you, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti"?' "Non è vero! It's not true! It's such a silly thing. I owe it to spaghetti, no, no. Completely made up."

MOVIE MUSICAL DIVAS TOURNAMENT

Clang clang clang went the trolley. Hello, and welcome to the Movie Musical Divas tournament. We've just come off a riveting bracket-style tournament dedicated to my beloved Broadway Divas from the 1980s to present day, and have graduated to movie musicals of the 20th century. Submissions for movie musical Divas are now closed, but additional propaganda for competing Divas is welcome.

Round 1 will begin July 1st, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. EST. This tournament will not be bracket-style to free up some of the rigidity of pairings I'd boxed myself into with the Broadway Divas. A sublime 100 Divas will compete for the crown of best movie musical actress.

A full roster (and propaganda checklist) can be found here.

Tags used: #moviemusicaldivas; #moviemusicaltournamentpolls; #mmround["X"]; #poll winners; #[actress names]. Suggest any tags you think will make this a more user-friendly experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:

"But what about [movie musical Diva who stared in one musical in the late 1990s as a 20-something]?" We're playing fast and loose with my guidelines and rules here, but I've made the executive decision to exclude movie musical divas who began late in the timeframe as very young women. We love and respect MILFs in this house.

"But what about [my favorite Diva who didn't make the list]?" All but one submission made it into the tournament unscathed. If she's not on our list, she wasn't submitted.

"That actress was only in [insert show here] so she shouldn't count." Because movie musicals are a niche genre, and many major movie musical stars only ever did one or two in their careers, I've been more lenient on some single-show credits as submissions have gone on.

"Please, please, please, can I submit [Diva] even though it's past deadline?" No, unfortunately the submission window has closed, and I'm rather partial to this neat and tidy hundred. That being said...if you submit her in the next two or three days, and I personally am deeply in love with her, I might allow it. Might.

"What happens if there's a tie?" Great question. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

Propaganda Rules, Guidelines, and Questions:

“I have additional propaganda for a Diva.”  Excellent, I love to see it. Send me an ask, DM me, or reblog the poll and add your propaganda to it. If you see a separate post that relates to your Diva, tag @broadwaydivastournament and I will add it to the queue. I may not reblog your post if said Diva is already swimming in propaganda and her opponent is left high and dry, for the sake of fairness.

"Can I submit propaganda even if it's from a movie musical outside the timeframe?" No post-20th century propaganda will be allowed. For example: I will gleefully reblog anything Angela Lansbury from pre-2000s movie musicals, but will not reblog posts that focus on her post-2000s roles like the Balloon Lady in Mary Poppins Returns. Additionally, as much as it pains me as a self-proclaimed Broadway Baby, I will not be accepting stage performances UNLESS the musical in question has been filmed in full and released as a proshot. Concert performances or television appearances will also be rejected, unless by some fluke, the tv appearance is one of those feature-length special episodes. And even then, it'll be a case-by-case basis.

I am a hater at heart, and so I actually do post/reblog negative propaganda, but it cannot be gratuitous or overtly cruel. Propaganda of this nature should remain respectful, constructive, and reasonable. Acceptable examples include: thoughtful critique of a performance; whether the Diva was miscast in roles; why the Diva is less worthy of votes compared to her competitor based on the films and roles specifically. Personal assassination of a Diva's private life will not be allowed. The isn't the ethics and morality committee.

The views expressed in (most of) the propaganda are not my own. Nearly all submissions were done anonymously and will be credited as such. Any propaganda I personally submit will be done through my personal blog. If you've been here, you probably already know it. If you're new, I'm sure it will be very obvious soon enough. I will not be editing or condensing any propaganda submitted beyond a cursory spell-check, no matter how disdainful I personally am of this whole no capitalization business. I also do not have time to review all videos in full, so if you would like any videos appropriately tagged for sensitive topics, please let me know.

“Where are the hot movie musical men?”  I welcome someone else to start up a hot movie musical man tournament, but it will not be me. I am a lesbian and thoroughly unqualified to oversee a tournament of men. Despite my extensive movie musical knowledge, I have no confidence that I'd be able to name more than five movie musical actors off the top of my head this very minute. (Robert Preston, Yul Bryner, Christopher Plummer- yeah, that's it. That's all I got without thinking about it too hard.)

“I think you forgot to add my propaganda?”  It most likely has to do with broken links. Most Divas have a fairly reasonable amount of propaganda, and so I won't be excluding based on quantity, at least to start. That may change down the line as more comes in.

For any additional questions, please send me an ask or private DM.

[kipperlillycopperkettle]

hiiihiiii i feel like i know less than i want to about your spyreverse thg au but i'm fascinated (and so glad i've inspired you to ask for questions about it-- its been so fun to get q's in about np <3) but !!! what is the moment/pov/section/idea you are proudest of for your au !!!! either smth you've written or smth you're excited about !! also also im so interested in who all this fic is centric on? i know you've referred to it as the bad kids thg au before but your tag is spyreverse specific? are the Seven in this also (fingers crossed?) other npcs or characters from pirol ??? idk how povs are working in your au- whether it's multi pov or just one/two but either way: how did you choose how to write pov/s for this fic !! if just one, why did you pic the person you chose; if multiple, how do u choose how to write which pov/s when ??!! xoxoxoxxoox and congrats on fellow huge long involved au <3333

this* fic is bad kids centric BUT because i am a menace, i have slotted a LARGE majority of the characters from fantasy high/the seven/pirates of leviathan into this universe! i went back and forth for a while on whether or not to make the seven tributes (which i didn't like because i wanted kristen and antiope to both be from district two and etc) or to make them have won the year before (which i didn't like because then i didn't have enough npcs to fill out the whole hunger games bracket, and then what do i do with characters like penelope who thematically would be fun to play with in either games, etc) and so i ended up splitting the difference and making it a quarter quell where the twist is that it's double the tributes (like haymitch's games in canon); though the games in the FIC are 75. because i felt like it lol.

so yes! the seven are here! the seven are actually up against the bad kids in the arena (sam is one of fabian's district partners! antiope is one of kristen's!) and there are SOOOOO many npcs in this fic <3 (i had to start a google doc with a quick summary of who was doing what in this au to keep them all straight which i may release as an npc guide after the fic is published!) unless i have made the active decision to not have a character in the au (chungedown bim is not here. because i simply do not want him to be) they're probably in the au! including npcs no one else cares about like tulwar from pirates of leviathan (he's one of the d4 mentors and also his dynamic with cathilda is SO important to me in this fic) and also talcidimir tallbreeze from the seven is the caesar flickerman esque figure <3

the pov thing is fun, actually, because i wanted to do a hunger games au. but i couldn't decide who won so i was just like. i will write all of the bad kids winning in slightly diverging timelines and each of the sections where they win will be from their pov (and somehow i thought this fic would only end up about 60k lol). i am also trying to write a few scenes from different povs during each larger section for a look at what's happening outside of the arena. so like midway through the adaine section, aelwyn (who is her mentor in this au) gets a scene and then a little bit later on, arianwen gets a pov.

i don't really pick per se; basically each of the bad kids has a section, which, aside from those two little out of arena povs midway through, follows them from the first important event in canon (eg: for some of them, it's the reaping for the seventy-fifth games, for fig, it's her first reaping, etc etc) until their arc wraps up (some point AFTER they win the games). for the out of arena povs that's a BIT more complicated, but usually it's just whoever's pov i feel like will be most significant/add the most to the story — so adaine has aelwyn and arianwen, but fabian has cathilda and halliariel (cathilda being, in this au, not his mentor but bill seacaster's).

*i say this fic because i DO have two prior to canon spinoff fics rotating in the back of my mind and also hanging out in my google docs that are a few thousand words each for sandra lynn and cathilda. i don't think either of those will get finished before the main fic but! they're fun and i like writing them! i think sandra lynn's is largely going to be about her thing with the adventuring party (a capitolite and his gamemaker wife in this au) and also her early romance with gilear and also her dynamic with her mentor, who is a signifcant figure in fig's section as well. cathilda's is both about her relationship with tulwar and also about her losing all of her children to the games. both of those spinoffs kind of spawned after writing their povs in the main fic and going, oh i want to explore more of [x character] in this au, so that's how i chose the povs for those two!

i'm pretty sure i switched to calling it the spyreverse thg au after i started the sandra lynn spinoff fic! bc the MAIN fic is the bad kids thg fic but the au is more encompassing y'know?

for how i choose to write which pov when: i just write whoever i feel like when i have inspiration! i write out of order so if i have a good scene idea for adaine, i'll write that one day, and then i might write a fabian scene the next day, and a riz one after that, and so on and so forth.

there's a lot i'm really excited about in this au: one of my favorite things about this au is getting to write dynamics that don't exist at all in canon (fig and max durden, who is one of her district partners; antiope and kristen; corsica and kristen, tulwar and cathilda), i love the fact that i got to take all of the listed canon names for aguefort teachers and turn them into interesting characters with fun dynamics (ellen fleetfoot the survival teacher my best friend), i love getting to write victor dynamics and this fic provides ample oppurtunity to write differing victor dynamics, but if i had to pick ONE scene/moment i'm proudest of, there's a scene after adaine wins where it finally hits her why aelwyn is the way she is that i just think is really striking. it was also one of the first scenes i wrote so it's just very dear to me <3

send me an ask about the spyreverse thg au!

> the 'ship' of theseus theory

I'm sure people have already talked about this concept a million times over, and I won't be new to the party, but the name I came up with on a whim is funny. I needed to share it somehow. So, I'm here!

It's scribbled on a post-it note on my corkboard: if you change one core aspect of a character with every chapter that you write, at the end of the fic - is it still the same character? Or is it just a glorified OC? Is it still the same ship? Not a crazy premise, of course. But it's something that I find myself thinking about a lot when I read various AUs online. It can definitely be hard to write a good AU without changing a single aspect of a character - and honestly, it's usually necessary to change stuff because oftentimes backstories changing means that personal values change - but I feel like there's a moment where your 'ship' stops being the same thing you started out with. Just like the original paradox, I don't think it's possible to know when you've gone too far until you've already placed yourself firmly in "I've mischaracterized them! Gotta add #OOC to the tags" territory. However, this doesn't stop me from wanting to be able to pinpoint that moment. Is there a way to figure it out? Can there be a formula made, or is it something that you need to figure out on a case-by-case basis? What parts of this ship can you replace without changing who the ship is, fundamentally? It's a hard idea to figure out! I don't think there's a solution, really, but I like the brain workout it gives me.

You can make a very barebones solution to this problem, I've found, by watching the second Spiderverse movie. Specifically, I'm talking about 'canon events'; things that need to happen in order for Spiderman to become Spiderman. Thinking about a character and their personality as a chain of events instead of one giant incomprehensible web of traits can help make the ship easier to navigate. Peter Parker's uncle must die in order to create Spiderman; [insert character's name here] must do [insert event here] to become who they are in the present. Everything else that happens is merely additional. I'll reiterate, it's a very barebones way of fixing things. But if you're confused, or new to the writing game, or just not very good at figuring some of this shit out, it's not a bad starting point, I don't think. And, much like in the movie, you can break this rule, if you think you want to do your own thing. (I think I'm clever.)

This isn't just for individuals, of course. I didn't call it the ship of Theseus for no reason :). If you have a ship that has, for example, the very best dynamic - #rivals_to_lovers - and you change it to #childhood_friends_to_lovers, for an AU you've thought up ... how far can you take changing the genre before you've ended up with a completely different pair of characters? When an author understands how to change the dynamic and really toe that line, I find that those fics tend to be some of the best pieces of writing I've ever read. It's about being able to fix that ship to fit your needs in that moment; to make it a galleon or a schooner or a yacht or a battleship, without changing the name painted onto the hull. (I would give examples of fics that have done this beautifully, but unfortunately my ao3 subscriptions stay between me and god.) The ship doesn't even have to be people, in all actuality. This little thought experiment of mine extends to be as general as just the concept of AUs themselves. It does get a tad convoluted at that scale - I'm thinking about that joke about how the darkest franchises have the most fluffy fanart - but it's still a track that can be followed. When you change a setting, you don't just change what background you've dropped the characters on, but rather you've changed the very heart of the story itself. If you were born in a different planet, or country, or tax bracket, you wouldn't be who you've grown up to become. Same concept, even if they are fictional. (In that line of thinking, any #yume or #Xreader fics could play around with that idea. I think it would be fun to ask yourself how you would act differently if you were raised in a different universe. Imagine yourself as a ship!) I like to think about changing settings as a form of translation, specifically translating songs; sure, you can translate the lyrics directly from one language to another, completely literally, but that'll just end up sounding clunky. Talented translators know how to bend and shape the words and phrases into the next language to sound just as good as the original lyrics. Good authors can change the setting while still maintaining the character as the character. Change a pirate into a college student, but keep their sense of (perhaps criminal) adventure, or whatever your situation might be.

You can read all of this and completely disagree, it's all welcomed. I'm not trying to say that this is the only way to create good media, because it isn't. Art is subjective, and this is an idea that came to me while eating breakfast, so it has no horse in this race. But, if you're like me, and you want to make something that follows the rules of canon without needing to actually follow the rules of canon - maybe it will also help you, to think about it as a boat. Or maybe you're tired of the nautical references. My ship passes you in the night, and we're both good because we're still floating.

Jacqueline, Enigmas and Shows of Force.

Analysis written by Chris:

These last few days have been a bit odd all things considered. Those following our progress will know of Jacqueline Verity, and how she's the last of our main opponents in the middle bracket of the WCS Ultra Rank. However, there's actually very little info available for her. We know that she's Sinnohan, but there are only foreign gym badges (Kantonian ones, specifically), and no conference records, just a Hall of Fame placement from 2022. We don't even know how she got her pokemon, which, given it includes two considered to be Legendaries, is pretty surprising.

Strangely this also isn't the first time we've seen an 'enigma contestant' with multiple legendaries come out of the Sinnoh Circuit. In 2009 there was a trainer named Tobias, who appeared for the July Lily-of-the-Valley conference with a similar absence of records, swept it with Darkrai and Latios, and wasn't ever seen again.

Jacqueline has been a strangely similar case, we didn't see her at all until recently, and her conduct has been strange. I've well documented the flyby incident which you can find on my Chatter (@acetrainerchris), at the same time her apology and subsequent 'peace offering' team showcase was almost a choreographed and performative show of force, designed to offer an impression of power, without actually giving away what any of her tactics or specialties are.

Despite that, we were able to walk away with a few insights on how her team operates.

To get straight to the point: The team is quite centralized on the two legendary members, with the rest mainly playing support, so those are the ones i'm going to talk about here

The first of these is a Shaymin.

I do happen to be somewhat familiar with Shaymin, its a Grass-Type species found across Sinnoh's northern islands, given a Mythical status for its elusiveness. They have a symbiotic relationship with flowers called Gracideas. When the flowers bloom they release an energy signature that the Shaymin use to transform from their default Land form (left) to their Sky form (right). Which in the wild they use to migrate to tropical environments for the winter.

Despite its small size and meek appearance, kilogram for kilogram these pokemon are stronger than the likes of Tyranitar and Dragonite. Land form is surprisingly quick and durable, and Sky form is extremely agile in flight. Both forms also have access to a signature move called Seed Flare, which involves the pokemon absorbing airborne pollutants, 'burning' them to create energy and water, and releasing that energy explosively. Depending on the environment and the strength of the Shaymin, a use of seed flare can be like the move Explosion but reusable.

In sky form, they also have the ability Serene Grace, which improves the knock on effects of many of their moves, especially the concussive and stunning potential of Air Slash, which adds an extra element of danger in a similar way to fighting a Togekiss.

Shaymin's biggest weakness is cold, successfully tagging them with an ice type move can sometimes cause them to revert forms, which leaves them very vulnerable.

I have my guesses on what tactics Jacqueline will employ with Shaymin and how she'll cover this weakness, but after the incident I'm not going to disclose most of them.

However I will note that during her demonstration she demonstrated the use of a cut Gracidea bloom to change Shaymin's form midfight.

Her second and seemingly most dangerous legendary, is a Latias.

Latias I have less experience with, the first I had seen one was actually on the flight to Unova for the WCS a few months ago, but they're common enough worldwide that there's a decent bit of information on them. Latias (alongside Latios, its male counterpart, its a single highly dimorphic species typically referred to as Eon pokemon, which is what i'll be using) is basically a living fighter jet with psychic abilities.

Given time to accelerate, an Eon can reach flight speeds of mach 2, but this speed doesn't sacrifice durability or power. Eons are reportedly also capable of utilizing illusions, not to the same extent of something like Zoroark, but sufficient to turn themselves invisible or otherwise disguise themselves. There is a known report of a woman from Alto-Mare, Hoenn whom a local Latias mimicked so perfectly that her own friends were fooled.

[Freya's note: I expect that if Jacqueline's latias tries to spy on us or something in the future against her trainer's wishes, it'll be with this invisibility.]

Eons are also known to be capable of Mega Evolution, but given Jacqueline appears not to have a keystone, I don't expect that to be a factor during the fight.

Latias lacks glaring species specific weaknesses aside from basic type matchups, but there are a few things I think we can exploit.

First off, eons' method of propulsion is by telekinetically pushing on the air and ground (thanks @outdoor_delcatgirl for this insight), this is very precise and offers a high thrust to weight ratio, but becomes less effective when already flying forward at speed. This factor, combined with Eons (especially Latias, due to eggbearing adaptations) being very robust pokemon, means that although their top speed is very high, Latias will be slower to accelerate and turn compared to something like Eiglay the Dragapult. (this is also affected by their aerodynamics, Dragapult are aerodynamically unstable, increasing turn speed, Eons are not).

Second, is that unlike something like phantom force, Eons' illusion based invisibility is only in the visible and near infrared spectra, meaning that other forms of detection should still work. Might be able to take a few pages out of Hugh's book to keep her in our sights.

Once again, I expect Jacqueline to be aware of these and have mitigation measures planned.

After the loss against Hugh, a win here is required in order to advance to the top bracket of Ultra rank, and we'll be doing our best in order to make that happen. Quasi-Telepathy update will happen in another blog, as this is already quite long.

Until next time.

[dont-talk-back-to-heapass]

Alright I made the Picrew checklist. I tried to simplify it as much as I could but like

SO MANY IDEAS

This is very long so buckle up. (Circular brackets for examples) [square brackets for my own thoughts]

Picrew checklist:

- many different skin colour options (both realistic and "neon")

- vitiligo options [maybe with different colours?]

- other skin options (face/body freckles, acne, scars, blush, etc. Preferably multiple tabs [3?] to be able to choose more than one)

- different options for ears (human, pointy, animal, etc)

- different nose shapes

- different mouth options

- eye types

- separate tab for each eye (for characters with heterochromia)

- eye colours

- iris options

- sclera colours

- eyebrow options (thin, bushy, eyebrow slit for right/left)

- multiple tabs for hair, separate colour choices (base hair, front hair, sideburns, ponytails. Also, options for bald and shaved)

- non- human features (horns, wings, tails, halos, different number of eyes, etc)

- multiple layers of clothing (undershirt, normal shirt, top layer (hoodie/jacket/uniform))

- head/hair accessories (masks, plasters, flower crowns, etc)

- hand gesture options

- different genders

- different body types? [might be difficult to do]

- pride pins [more than one tab?]

- piercings (ear, nose, lip, brow, etc)

- jewelry (necklace/choker, rings?, bracelets?)

- background options (solid colour, image, that emote thing?, etc) [multiple tabs]

- watermark (preferably a few options for where to put it, so it doesn't cover up the of too much)

Specific for captainsonas:

- options for helmets (colours, types, cracked or not) [separate tab?]

- options for hats (types, colours) [separate tab?]

- options for hands: with/without gloves, with/without crystal, with scar from crystal

- [this one is just something my captainsona has so you don't have to include it, but something like "infection" because of the crystal? Like lines of glowing blue from crystal going up arm to neck. Maybe different levels of it? Idk just being self indulgent here haha]

.

Alright that's all for now, but I have so many more ideas. If you have any questions for anything I wrote down, just ask!

-💻🌌

aaaa!!! okay!! this is a lot (/pos) but im gonna go through each one, so be warned yall this is a long post. (i added the taglist here because there's a lot of useful info and so that yall don't repeat suggestions too often lol. also, there is a general announcement about the picrew in bold. you can skip to that if you want.)

skin colors: done, i already have eight human and eight rainbow skin tones lol

vitiligo options: i'm adding skin markings after the basic features, so it will come later (not sure if i'll add them before or after the wip releases tho, we'll see) but different colors is a great idea!

other skin options: see above. i like the tabs idea, will definitely do that

different ears: i do have different pointy and finned ears, but i was planning on making animal ears seperate. now that you say it tho, it might make more sense to put them with the rest of the ears. will add that to my non-basic list though because i'll probaby put them in a seperate tab

different noses: i'll actually be drawing those next! my normal art style basically only draws the shadow under the nose, but i do want to have diversity, so i'll have to do some research on that. animal noses are happening too for sure :)

different mouths: god. im. let's just say i have done that. (/lh) there's thirteen different expressions with six tooth styles and two tongue styles each. that's not even including the creepy ones, so don't worry, i've got that covered.

eye types: i assume you mean expressions/shapes? i'm planning on adding those

seperate tab for each eye: good idea, somehow i didn't even think about that

eye colors/sclera colors: yup, i've already got a suggestion for sclera colors, and i'm definitely adding eye colors

iris options: i assume this is the shape of the pupil- i'll definitely have that, but i need to figure out how to make sure they all fit in the different eye shapes lol (if anyone knows please help lol)

eyebrow options: done! except the slit, i think, but i will add that later

multiple tabs for hair/seperate color choices/shaved and bald options: yup, already planning on those!

multiple layers of clothing: also planning to do this already!

head/hair accessories: this also would be a non-basic thing, but i will add them

hand gesture options: unfortunately, i've decided won't be adding hands to this picrew anytime soon. i've talked to someone else about this too, and basically it's a whole new element with too much work. maybe, in the distant future, after i've already added the non-basic options, i'll add them, but i don't see myself doing that before then. i know it's a big part of the captain's image, with the gloves and warp crystal, and it would definitely be super cool, but it's simply too time-consuming and difficult. sorry, but i'll add plenty of other cool features to make up for it!

different genders: the picrew cuts off just below the armpits, so you can't really tell if the chest is there or not.

different body types: it's definitely doable, but it's gonna be in the non-basic list unfortunately. the body itself should be fairly easy, but head shapes i might struggle with- don't get me wrong, i'm not making excuses, my face shape doesn't match the current option either lol.

pride pins: ooh good idea, i hadn't thought of that somehow. again, will be non-basic though.

piercings and jewelry: already planning to do them! i will have to shove most of that FAR into the non-basic list though because i could spend DAYS making up different piercings and jewelry.

background options: i forgot about those somehow, lol. i'll definitely have them, but might start with just solid colors for the basic features.

watermark: i keep forgetting to make that!!!! i always remember it when im in the middle of doing something else and then forget by the time i finish. i did make a cool signature years ago, but i'd have to go find it bc i made it before i used krita. i'll add the different locations though, once i finally add it lol

helmets: yep, definitely adding those! i've already had a suggestion for the cracked helmet, too, so i'll do that- maybe have an option that's partially transparent so you can make a face inside it? idk, but that's definitely on the list

hats: also have gotten a suggestion for that! i'll definitely add the beret and the fedora, and maybe some other options if i have time.

hands: see above, sorry :/

crystal infection thingy: that! is! so! cool!!! i'll definitely put that on the list with the skin markings

okay that's it, i am sorry to everyone on the taglist that did not sign up for this super long post. taglist below.

Check out my rainbow of friends!

"So, yes, I made all these awesome friends, and I realized that I have a full rainbow! Obviously, that's really amazing and perfect and I just have to show it to anyone who cares!

Nisha - @chainxdancer - is just really cool! She's strong and can fight and she's... I forgot what exactly she is but she's not human and has a tail and horns and she doesn't mind sharing her money or food with me, and if things go as planned I might be able to join her on her adventures soon to earn my own money!

Moonshot - @warriorfortamaran - uh... look. I needed to fill the orange slot, and I do know him. He's a meanie though, typical tamaranean with a side of extra-grumpy. Best you avoid him.

Yuko - @rosecoloredmuses - was so very nice to me! Despite having quite clearly caught me attempting to steal from her, she offered me some of her candies, and oh are those great! Definitely worth our encounter! We didn't have that much time together, since she had to go soon enough, but, it was really cool to meet her and I do consider us friends after this - I mean, you don't give non-friends just free food, right? - and just, I love her sweets and am absolutely convinced that she's a great person to meet!

Sirise - @siriseen - and I met on some other planet. It was really nice to have company during that exploration, and she knows so much! She's also really good at medicine and these things, so like, definitely someone that I'm glad to know! Still not quite sure what that Starfleet is that she belongs to, but, yeah, it's been really fun with her and I do hope that we'll meet again!

Minato - @dxfiedfxte - actually is not dyeing his hair, as he told me! I never thought humans had such a variety in hair-color! It does seem to be a unique thing for him, too, so I probably thought right. It's very awesome to know someone else who has a rather unique hair-color of their species! He's also been really nice to me so far and it's fun to hang out with him!

Perrine - @flusenimkopf - has helped me before with giving that karrn'k Moonshot a bit of what he deserves, even before we got to know one another! She's also not human either, and I think she doesn't know all about where she's from just like how I don't! It's just really cool to hang out with her, and I'm glad we're having some things in common! I'm also very happy to have someone that I can complain about Moonshot to and do stuff to him together with, that's really something I needed.

So yeah, they are all really amazing and awesome to know, so I absolutely suggest that you consider enriching your life by knowing them, too!"

[[This all has been presented to you by Starlight, found on this blog, @rainbowoftamaran . Below the cut you can find some OOC-stuff like credits and the likes.]]

Hello! If you do reach the cut, thank you for checking the OOC blabber behind the post, too! I've been working on this thing for a little bit now. I'm not entirely happy with it, but content enough to post it, as some sort of promo I guess. Please feel no obligation to reblog this, whether you are in this or not, I just had to do something "for Starlight" upon realizing she had the full rainbow together. (Obviously, not saying that friends are something to collect, or anything ridiculous like that, but I'm hopeful that no one of you will understand this wrongly!)

Moonshot is my own blog, as is Starlight, you can find a link to my mainblog and to my other blogs on each of these blogs' pages.

I sorta-copied the rainbow-waterfall-thingie from a copyrighted picture on some of these websites. I didn't use and just erase the watermark, I only took it as example and created my own thing based on it. I do hope that I don't need to credit for that, then - though during my search I found on these pages also pics with watermarks of others so they probably are in no place to call me out for using their pic as base.

In the next paragraph you find info of the pictures, and a little message to each mun in smaller in brackets behind the stuff.

Nisha's pic is taken from here, which was a commission as you can read in the post I linked. (-- I would've liked to not cut her body off quite as early, but these pics were the first I found on your blog outside of that one in your about and liked for this thing, and since they weren't going any further than this I had to cut it there! I do hope you like my choice of picture here and aren't disappointed or something that I didn't show more of Nisha!) Moonshot's pic is an edit, like the 2 other pictures I have of him, of a picture from Touda from Shounen Onmyouji. Yuko's pic is taken from an official picture, as far as I know, simply made transparent. (-- I do hope the picture is one that you like to see of her!) Sirise's pic is an edit of a screenshot showing Poison Ivy from that recent Harley Quinn show. (-- I gotta add that I was like so lucky that you actually mentioned a FC for Sirise of all your muses when I asked you that "random" question! I really wanted to include her but kinda didn't really want to add one actor among anime/cartoon/drawn characters, and when you then mentioned Ivy and I found a fitting appearance, I was so happy to have found a way to include her without mixing RL and animated characters! This thing here is also the reason I made this edit in the first place, but it was cool that I could kinda ask for your opinion on it beforehand through our talks xD) Minato's pic is, as far as I know, from an official source, and again just made transparent so it worked for my thing. (-- I really really tried to find the pic you're having as background in your theme, it looks pretty cool and I was intending to use that, but I couldn't locate it anywhere! So I kept searching, I first had a different pic chosen where he's like, very light blue all over - not in skin or the likes but I mean hair and suit - but that was a little too one-color for me in the end so I chose this one even though I prefer a bit more color! I do hope it's a 'normal' outfit of his and that you like my choice!) Perrine's pic is from here, which is art of the mun of the blog. I wish I could draw so well! (-- Your art is amazing and I'm glad you were alright with someone using it for a thing as long as you still are mentioned!)

Starlight's pic too is an edit, of an official art thingie of Rika Jougasaki from iDOLM@STER (I hope I wrote that right). And yes, she's supposed to be sitting on that cloud.

So, yes, I think this is all I have to say to it! I'm very glad that y'all are interacting with my little rainbow here (and perhaps my other blogs too), you're very awesome and it's an honor and delight to be your mutual and interaction-partner! Thank you!

RANSOM X READER 

a/n : i know i write quite abit of angst but i couldn't help myself , even tho i try to write soft Ransom because i dont think he gets much love , but i just had to write him as the true arsehole he is .

You should know this day would come , why on earth did you fall form him ? ,Trust him ? Believe he would change for YOU !

This wasn't how today was meant to be , it was meant to be your anniversary , A year you have put up with  his shit but you did it anyway because you stupidly fell for him. You've dealt with it all his  shit show of a family ,his drinking , partying. Your voices which you should of listen to from the beginning . After all you should know to trust you gut felling , but your heart just over powered.

Despite all the times he would leave and you wouldnt hear from him for days , or his constant partying with his friends , knowing fine well theyd be girls all around much like it was before you , You trusted him , believed him . After all who are you to call the man you love , who says he love you and to trust him , who are you to call him a liar . 

but that was what he was . 

after all he is Ransom FUCKIN Drysdale . 

you had woken up by a soft pair of lip touch your cheek ,but it wasn't gental or sweet , it was rushed 

“y/n ! im leaving right , ill see ya soon “ Ransom husky morning voice echoed through out your room . Ransom may have said in a harsh tone , but you must of thought because it was so early in the morning and he probably didn't want to leave . After all today is you anniversary . But at least it was an improvement , in the past he would just get up and leave 

“okay “ you grumbled as you rubbed your eyes turning on your back , pulling the sheets with you as you opened your eyes to see Ransom pulling his brown coat over  his shoulder sorting out the collar . A small smile placed on your lips , as you were mesmerised by how lucky you were to have someone as hansom as him . “why dont you say ?” you said softly 

“i cant !” he snapped back , not in such a bitter tone , like he use with most , he has always been kinder to you but it was still enough for you to be slightly offend 

“umm okay “ you nervously said sitting up , “where you going ?“

he let out a deep sigh as his eyes slighted towards you in announce “out ! “ he snapped once again , until a small smug smile place on his lips “iv got something to take care of “ 

you nodded being as naive and in love ,you didn't dare question him further until a wide smile placed on your lips as you remembered what today is “im still seeing you later ya !” you  asked all giddy 

“uhhhh .. it depends on how today goes “ he let out a dry chuckle 

“oh okay “ you though maybe he was trying to wind you up he might have a surprise for you like you do for him , He does remember what today is doesn't he ?

ransom turned the door nob and opened the door , not even glancing at you . “see ya !” it was cold , nothing sweet about it. but before you could answer you heard him bounce down the stair , and soon after heard the front door open and close . 

You sighed , dragging your self out of bed , but still feeling good about the day . He was probably only winding you up . 

so you got up and got ready for the day , 

***************************************************************************************

some time had past , and you were becoming more anxious ,to know if Ransom was actual going to come , of course he would , but what kept him from  not spending the day with you again . Especial today of all days . 

you tried to ignore the little voice in your head doubting him , where could he be ? who is he with ? what is he doing ? did he forget ?

you hide those thoughts in the back of your head , as you reminded your self of the plans you had for him . But you still could not help the gut feeling that something was off . So as you made your way up the stair you rang Ransoms phone , it rang through and went to voicemal by the time you got to the top of the stairs , You decided to try one more time , and as you did you heard a ringing noise coming from your bedroom . You lifted your brow in confustion and headed into your bedroom , The ringing contuined , you quickely glanced around , to see what it was , It was then you saw Ransom phone , was laying on the floor , inbetween the door and your dresser . 

You let out a little giggle , at Ransom for being foolish leaving his phone . It must of feel out of his coat pocket . 

You shook your head picking it up from the ground , you chucked it on the bed , along with your phone and made  your way in to your wardrobe to get ready for  when ransom gets back 

It didnt take you long to get ready , as you had gotten dress , applied little makeup (gift above )

you frowned releasing the time , once again , but you sighed , trying to remain , calm , and have a good day . But as you turned to grab your phone , yu quickly remembered you have Ransoms

you titled your head in curiosity , maybe you could find out what he was doing , or maybe call one of his friend to see where he was . As you grabbed his phone , you suddenly felt uneasy , and no it wasnt your lunch . You suddenly felt guilty for going through his phone it felt like you were invading his  privacy . You nibbled on your bottom lip . Surely it would be fine , its not like he has anything to hide , right ?

so you opened up his phone , and went to unlock it , when you released you needed to enter a password , that you didnt know . You stranded there for a minted thinking with one hand on your hip covered by you silk black robe .Ransom was a very forgetfully person   clearly . So you had to think of something , he wouldn't forget , and it was then you tried his birthday . NOPE didnt work . And then you remembered four number that were more important to Ransom his card pin BINGO you were in . 

But your heart suddenly began to beat fast , now you were in his phone , what were you going to do now , its not like anyone know where he is . So you decided to go on to message and see who it was that last text him , maybe there needed him and thats where he went ? Maybe ? 

so as you pressed the little green bubble at the bottom of the screen , you were met with a string of conventions . Your brows raised , as you saw , random numbers , and anitionals  with little side notes in brackets . The top one was just labelled as J.S? (good when told  ) . You decide to click on it , as a wave  of anxiety  hit you  , 

you saw a short line of blue and white message back a forth  as your eyes bluurd one the words as your eyes become glossed over . while your chest tightend and you colsaped onto the bed . You heart sank , and torn all at once while your head become dizzy . You read through the text to make sure , your eye wernt tricking you 

J.S : Ransom , baby where are you ? you promised       

                          R.D : ill be there soon iv just got to finish up over here first 

J.S :kk ill be waiting 😉😘

                          R.D : oh i know you will be ! 

you  shaking lifted your hand , and click on another , and another conversation , that were just as similair some that had when on longer others that were shorter . Some were similar , a thank you and telling him to call them back . 

A small tear trippled down your cheek ,as you read through the message , you were even be able to find your own somewhere between a 11 digets number and a ALICE ? (decent) 

And you , You were simple save as y/n (err okay ?)

you felt anger rage through you , as you shot up from your bed . 

***********************************************************************************

And thats where you found your self now , just finished collecting all off Ransom cloths and things that he has left over . Watching them burn in the sink , turn to ash as you add to the glowing  flames as you pour the vodka you were currently sipping on , over the fire .  You turned facing away the kitchen isle as you lifted your arm as rubbed your eyes over your silk rob smuging your mascara . 

you looked down towards the cake that you had brought . You honestly dont know why tho .But you couldnt help but star at its delicate white piping around the edge and the swirls . It was kind of funny how you saw your self  in a cake . You was kind of like it before Ransom , sweet , and elegant  and now you were this A girl crying over an arsehole burning his cloths , after finding out he had been cheating . But you were surprisingly okay with that 

But the temptation was to much , you held to much rage with in . That you couldnt help but ick up a knive and stab through the cake  imagining Ransom face . With a harsh bang crumes where flying everway .You could help but laugh at your self , as you  took out your frustrations at on a cake . 

your anger , mixed with vodka made your turn into a fit of gigles that echoed through the kitchen . It was until you heard the openoing of the front door , you stopped , your face dropped as you griped the knive harder . 

“ha babe , i left my ... what the fuck !”

Things Happen For a Reason... Unless You Write For Voltron

There are tons of continuity errors and full on missing character arcs. So many, in fact, that I wonder if they didn't know how many seasons they were cleared for or how much time they had.

Has Lance Always Been Like That?

The Lance I met was a relatable character. Erratic, rash, defensive, but also empathetic, loyal and infectiously optimistic. Still, he's... The dumb one. That's his main title, the running joke, the flatness of his character.

So where did this suave, sweater wearing, humble nerd come from? He uses words that indicate a college reading level. He is capable of expressing his thoughts and emotions with beautiful fluency. It doesn't feel right.

This is a massive change from his fairly well developed character arc of him finding a place in the team, growing as a sharp shooter, being uplifting and learning selflessness. It also completely undermines his budding brotherhood with Keith to let him go have fun with Allura. Sure, we all like a well dressed Lance who uses big words and likes... Farming?

Yeah, so nothing about Lance's love for piloting persisted past Voltron I guess. His extreme passion for being in a team, his clear ability to shoot and his love of flying and exploring must have diminished the second he touched Earth and transformed into a completely different and unrelated field of work. I understand that, I promise, but it doesn't seem like Lance, who spent years overcoming his intrinsic dumbness to be a pilot at the garrison. We see him struggle for this! He wanted it.

He loved it.

And Speaking of Love

Guess what, this isn't going where you think it is!

That's right! Friend love!

These guys are best friends. They hang out, they know each other, they spend excruciating amounts of time stuck with each other at the Garrison on ships. So why does that all nearly disintegrate come Voltron? Lance and Hunk almost never exchange memories of their time at the Garrison. Anyone who has moved knows how fast those memories of their old life flow. And Pidge completely isolates herself. If you didn't know it you would never guess the three had been a lovely little friend group.

No wonder Lance had such a crisis when Keith showed him up as a pilot. Hunk and Pidge are immediately emotionally distant, his hero Shiro thinks he's a dumbass and he has to live on a crazy space castle with the usually angry and creepy closeted emo kid (adored by Shiro, who don't forget is Lance's #1 role model) who is somehow also clearly better than him.

Their friendship has been reduced to filler episodes.

Was That Shiro Cowering in a Corner or am I Imagining Things?

Nope. There it is.

Wow. Well. If I'm not mistaken this man has a rocket arm that delivers swift and capable punches. Now, that is clearly not as important to the show as his arm wrestling capability but if the writers wanted Shiro to have true, consistent and well written PTSD I would have accepted that as an explanation for his sudden inability to fight. But seeing as Shiro's nothing but traumatizing past (torture, losing his arm, being made to fight for his life in a space Colosseum while grappling with the existence of fully developed alien life that is trying to end earth, losing Sam and Matt, being trapped in a Lion, suffering the loss of Adam) has had almost no effect on his life past serving to provide minor exposition or to give Keith a chance to do something.

To further this point, here is a list of every time Shiro (not Kuron) got into a fight before and after Keith became black paladin. Here, a fight is if Shiro was outside of Voltron and engaged in any hand to hand combat or was injured by a malevolent being that was targeting him.

Ep 3 S1

Ep 4 S1

Ep 8 S1

Ep 9 S1

Ep 12 S1

Ep 13 S1

Ep 1 S2

Ep 3 S2 (in flashbacks)

Ep 4 S2

Ep 6 S2

Ep 7 S2 (in the astral plane)

Ep 10 S2

Now let's skip ahead.... 4 seasons... Oh man

Ep 12 S7

that's it

Ah. Hm. I think the data speaks for itself, don't you?

So what in the world happened to Shiro, gladiator and protectorate who would die for his team? When the enemy infiltrates his ship and attacks his friends, he is transformed into an inexplicably incapable soldier.

Shiro Actually Married "Adam", if You're Hard of Hearing

Have you happen to have heard the video guide for the ending of the last episode?

I'm a little skeptical of the source so let me know if this is incorrect. If it's real audio then I'm just disappointed.

Full Metal Paladin, Brotherhood

Sorry for forcing the title but it's the best thing that came to mind.

Keith and Shiro are close. Since they met, Shiro has been gently guiding Keith to his best path. Their bond is undeniable.

Out of all of the paladins, Keith should understand Shiro the best. So why in the world does Keith never bother to check in with Shiro? Strange migraines, not feeling like himself, making unnatural decisions? I doubt that anyone would see this as a warning sign for "clone," but anyone who has claimed a close friendship with someone will be concerned when they begin acting erratically. When Shiro mentions how terrible he's feeling-

(here is where I used up my image allowance so just imagine what I put in brackets)

He gets no response, and even Keith ignores his joyous outburst of "I feel so much better!". There's an appropriate "friend" response to that that Shiro does not receive from anyone. Keith, above all other paladins, is likely to know just how much Adam meant to Shiro, but Keith doesn't supply a shoulder to lean on at any moment. The writers want us to know that Keith loves Shiro. In what exact way I care not to delve into, though I would personally argue in a brotherly way. So why does Keith let Shiro's heart waste away like this?

[Shiro being sad which happens a lot actually]

Me too, Shiro. Me too.

The Allura of Power is Too Great

Why did the white lion choose Allura if not because of her intrinsic incorruptible self? And what changed in her heart or the story to make her seek dark power? She got infected with S1 Lance disease I suppose, because all of a sudden she's being dangerous and thoughtless.

[Allura opening up the stupid case and letting that thing out]

In s8, the situation is pretty dire. But it was dire before. She already learned not to trust Lotor, but then you know, he shows up and looks like Lance a little bit and that's enough for her to open up her arms and give dark alchemy a great big hug.

The white lion chose her over Lotor because she was bright and accepted her fate for the future of everything she held dear. What became of her, and why did we only see this change truly take form with less than an hour of the entire series left?

[White Lion jumping around with Allura]

Thanks for Making it Through This Post

There are hundreds of other things that I could mention, and feel free to add on to this with your own opinions! I know this isn't exactly plot continuity but characterization continuity. I hope that is okay! If you want me to focus more on plot next time, let me know 😊

[yashirosukes]

i can't believe you added nalu-natic to your stupid ass hall of shame tag. all she did was headcanon natsu as demi because she is demisexual. She didn't say anything remotely "acephobic" nor supported any acephobic posts. The only problematic behavior is your kiss ass anons reading her UNTAGGED posts and gossiping to you. And yes I am on your blog because some things need to be said. i have interest coming on here otherwise. Fuck off and your anons.

i can’t believe you added nalu-natic to your stupid ass hall of shame tag. all she did was headcanon natsu as demi because she is demisexual. She didn’t say anything remotely “acephobic” nor supported any acephobic posts.

i never said she had acephobic posts, that was a jab at the nalu fandom as a whole because another user DID go into a frenzy trying to debunk ace!natsu (i literally linked the post and added screenshots and it wasnt even on her blog so uh) while dehumanizing us and the notes they got for their “rebuttal” were abundant. thats also why i went on to say “they’re [the nalu fandom/i rly shouldnt need to add this in a bracket] ok with a demi head canon bc it emphasizes nalu’s strong bond and doesnt remove nalu sex or natsu’s sexual attraction to lucy from the equation but will write paragraphs about how its impossible for natsu to be asexual cause mashima makes his characters “healthy and normal” (i.e. throwing ace ppl under the bus)  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” so thats that. what i did say about this user specifically was this:

they could head canon natsu as a pangender autochorissexual and i wouldnt bat an eye. now, if in the process of explaining why they see natsu as such they end up referencing something that isnt actually pangender or autochorissexual, that is when you look sketchy af. even more so when someone who actually knows about those IDs tells you you have the wrong idea and you bash them. you pretty much give away the fact you dont actually give a fuck about those IDs or representation and are only interested in propping your ship up.

my problem aint their head canon dear anon, it’s the fact that when they elaborated on it they ended up describing demiromantic instead of demisexual (just as i mentioned in the post where i respond to their ginormous tantrum) and they refuse to correct themselves. it’s pretty obvious they dont actually care about demisexual or demiromantic representation, or any aspec identities. they just want to use demisexual as fodder for nalu without respect for what it actually means to be demisexual vs being demiromantic.

now’s not the time to act like you cant read. i used bold and italics and even made the font bigger to emphasize key points.

The only problematic behavior is your kiss ass anons reading her UNTAGGED posts and gossiping to you.

isnt that what her followers are doing as well? i’ve just now looked at this person’s blog and my name does not come up anywhere so how would anyone even know who she is talking about or what i’ve said without already being a stalker? how did YOU know where to go without having already stalked my blog and seen my posts? my anti nalu tag on my posts is no excuse (i didnt even tag anti nalu on the post archived in the hall of shame). for one you shouldnt be in the anti tag, and secondly i’ve made numerous posts tagged anti nalu so even if it showed up in the search you should’ve blocked me long ago unless you’re actually interested in what i post next. if you are her friend or mutual, then shame on you for sending anon hate in her name. i’m pleased to say my “problematic” anons have not sent any hate her way, at least not to my knowledge. and its not like nalu fans havent been gossiping about my posts since the beginning whether i talk about someone specific or not. after all, the most well known nali/anti nalu fan on this site is me. so almost every pro post “schooling” antis, or ask about “antis/nali fan said this”, or anything trying to debunk nali is ultimately something they’ve heard from me whether yall wanna admit it or not. the others have for the most part recycled my rhetoric. hell, yall are still trying to debunk my arguments (while shading me and the nali fandom as a whole) about nali being the original endgame (no longer relevant btw) and nalu being fanservice. its not like its a common anti argument thats always been around, thats something i said that other people agreed with. that said, are you saying your side is just as problematic?

And yes I am on your blog because some things need to be said. i have interest coming on here otherwise.

how did YOU know where to go without having already stalked my blog and seen my posts? my anti nalu tag on my posts is no excuse. for one you shouldnt be in the anti tag, and secondly i’ve made numerous posts tagged anti nalu so even if it showed up in the search you should’ve blocked me long ago unless you’re actually interested in what i post next. if you are her friend or mutual, then shame on you for sending anon hate in her name.  you also just said you HAVE interest coming on here otherwise, so….

Fuck off and your anons.

i will do as i please and people can “gossip” to me about whatever since yall have been doing that with me ever since i became active.

also @nalu-natic (your name has been off my blog until someone ratted you out) sorry to disappoint but fictional ships are not enough to unsettle me while looking at a blog (unless it’s like incest or abuse or smth), i dont lose my cool as easily as you do despite being 5 years younger. i close with 16 isnt an insult nor an argument, its ad hominem, and post all the nalu fluff or smut you want because i dont care. i already follow people who ship nalu.

Propaganda

Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style, Houseboat)—Major Italian star, first actress to win an Oscar for a performance not in English (for Two Women (1960)) and later when Roberto Benigni won an Oscar in 1999 he jumped over the chairs towards the stage going "Sophia Sophia!!" because he was running towards Sophia Loren and said he cared more about her than the Oscar, that's the effect she had on people. She was big in the 60s already even though she gained a lot more notoriety after that. And I mean. Can we take a moment and just.

Reiko Sato (Flower Drum Song)— ok so I might be unaware of her other movies but I watched flower drum song and she was soooo pretty!!!! and she’s like. amazing??? at dancing???? the swinging and stuff like what!!!! and the gauzy shawl thing at the beginning of love look away and actually the entire love look away is sooo cool [video below the cut]

This is round 3 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.

Sophia Loren:

im submitting her in honor of my dad bc she was the first celebrity crush of his he ever admitted to me and my sister :) and he was right. shes so pretty

She has maxed out all her stats: beauty, elegance, sensuality, she's got it all. her mesmerizing eyes, her sensual mouth, her sharp face shape, her everything is so striking and unlike any other beauty in films. she was also voted the world most beautiful woman when she was freaking 65

OSCAR WINNER. Worked with some of the hottest leading men in Hollywood but remained faithful to her husband whom she had a loving marriage with till he died (even though Cary Grant almost tempted her once, it's complicated)

One of the most well-known sex symbols of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and unlike some unfortunate others, she seems to have been pretty well at peace with occupying that status. She made assertiveness and a tempestuous temper seem glamorous, and although she's famous for side-eying Jayne Manisfield's cleavage, honestly? She's one to talk.

Absolutely, drop-dead sexy, also a hard working, extraordinarily talented actress who didn't shy away from the less glamorous roles to gift us some gritty, memorable performances

JUST LOOK AT HER Y'ALL

Submitting this on behalf of my dad, who knows nothing of tumblr or this blog, but I remember being a kid watching Houseboat while my mom thirsted after Cary Grant, dad thirsted after Sophia Loren, and I was excited that they lived on a boat. Anyway, she's extremely beautiful and was an international star, doing a ton of movies in Italy before being recognized in the US.

Big in the chest, snatched in the waist, pretty in the face 😳

Very smart and beautiful, the characters that she played (I mean those in the movies that I put in the previous question) are as strong and determined as her which I think adds to her hotness.

Global superstar and my late grandfather's long time movie star crush and for a man as quiet as he was, and as hopelessly devoted to his wife as he was, the fact that I know that means she was EXCEPTIONAL.

Sexy, beautiful, deep. A real star.

Her performance in "Man of La Mancha" is just so very captivating. Dubbed as "the Italian Marilyn Monroe", she looks beautiful in any movie and at any age.

Forget the exotic sexpot of her Hollywood films and go back to her Italian career: sparking with Marcello Mastroianni as the woman who drives him mad and outwits all his fumbling attempts at macho posturing in their early films, and showing a tender side in their 1970s films. Sophia isn’t self-conscious about who she is or her beautiful body: she enjoys being herself and she wants us all to enjoy ourselves too.

She starred in films as a sexually emancipated persona and was one of the best known sex symbols of the time. She is a great cook and her filmography is immense.

On the misattributed quote that Sophia owed everything to spaghetti: 'Did you actually say the quote frequently attributed to you, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti"?' "Non è vero! It's not true! It's such a silly thing. I owe it to spaghetti, no, no. Completely made up."

Propaganda

Kyōko Kagawa (Tokyo Story, Sansho the Bailiff)— She's just so charming and talented and pretty what else could you want

Sophia Loren (Marriage Italian Style, Houseboat)—Major Italian star, first actress to win an Oscar for a performance not in English (for Two Women (1960)) and later when Roberto Benigni won an Oscar in 1999 he jumped over the chairs towards the stage going "Sophia Sophia!!" because he was running towards Sophia Loren and said he cared more about her than the Oscar, that's the effect she had on people. She was big in the 60s already even though she gained a lot more notoriety after that. And I mean. Can we take a moment and just.

This is round 2 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.
