Alright.

I did Lucille, Kyle, Mimi, Cody, Maxie and Vic I think that my artfight profile is good enough for right now. I might add more characters later (I really want to have Magnus on there) but we'll see! :D

Here is my artfight profile. (You have to have an account to view)

Here is my Top 10 Aardman Villains List:

*10. Lord Nooth from Early Man (2018) - He is maybe the hilarious Aardman villain, But He is not my forte, Because He is too cowardly for my taste. *9. Anthony Trumper from Shaun The Sheep Movie (2015) - He is maybe more dangerous than Lord Nooth, But He is too boisterous for my taste. *8. Piella Bakewell from Wallace and Gromit: A Matter Of Loaf and Death (2008) - Because She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing and a serial killer. *7. Victor Quartermaine from Wallace and Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit (2005) - Because He is an arrogant hunter, who wants to hunt the rabbits for sport and wants to marry Lady Campanula Tottington for money. *6. Preston from Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave (1995) - Because he is a canine equivalent to The Terminator. *5. The Toad from Flushed Away (2006) - Because He was originally the royal pet amphibian of the young King Charles III, But He was replaced by the pet rodent that made him very angry and upset, then He was flushed down the toilet and sent to the London Sewers. *4. Agent Red from A Shaun The Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (2019) - She maybe has a cold exterior, but She has a tragic backstory that made her feel very misunderstood and sympathetic. But thankfully, she redeemed herself in the end by giving Lu-La’s parents a hug. *3. Queen Victoria from The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists! (2012) - She is maybe the Queen Of England from the 19th Century, But She is a pirate-hating, katana-wielding ninja warrior. *2. Mrs. Melisha Tweedy from Chicken Run (2000) and Chicken Run: Dawn Of The Nugget (2023) - Because She is the most threatening out of the human Aardman villains and She is armed with an axe, She married two husbands, chicken meat products businesses and different outfits from the different decades, The First Movie’s case is wearing Burgundy tweed dress and black wellies, When she was with Willard Tweedy and doing the chicken pie business in the 1950’s. While for the sequel’s case is wearing the Pink Penelope Pitstop-Styled Go-Go Boots, black leggings, dark red gloves and plum-purple sleeved dress, When she is now with Dr. Marcus Fry and doing the chicken nugget business in the 1960’s. She is the first Aardman villain is returning for her revenge against her arch-enemies. *1. Feathers McGraw from Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers (1993) and Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) - Because He is the most iconic Wallace and Gromit villain, as well as his silent, but deadly nature. He is a diamond thief of the penguin, Who is disguised as a chicken and he is armed with a pistol. He is using Wallace’s technology and inventions for his evil purposes/intentions, For The Wrong Trousers (1993)’s case is the techno trousers. While for Vengeance Most Fowl (2024)’s case is the smart gnomes. Like Melisha Tweedy, Feathers McGraw is the second Aardman villain is returning for his revenge against his arch-enemies.

I’ve been rewatching “Victor/Victoria” the 1982 film written and directed by Blake Edwards. It stars Julie Andrew (his wife) in the lead role, with Robert Preston as her GBFF, and James Garner as her straight love interest.

The movie is ground breaking it is acceptance of gay characters, and for a moment Garner’s Uber masculine character questions his own sexuality.

I like Andrews in her role, although I think she could have been just a little bit of camp in her songs - the character was performing on stage and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a drag performer who wasn’t at least a little campy.

Robert Preston was terrific as Toddy. He was so convincing that I had to double check on the web. Preston was married for 47 years. (Although marrying a woman doesn’t preclude being gay. After all, Rock Hudson and Tony Perkins were gay.)

The story had another nice twist. When Garner’s body guard (played by former football player Alex Karris) catches him in bed with Victor, he comes out as gay himself to his boss.

But of course, in the Hollywood ending, Julie decides to give up her cross-dressing career and settle down with Garner as man and wife!

I discovered that the movie was based on an early (pre-Nazi) German film “Viktor und Viktoria” (1933). A year later “Georges et Georgette” a French version was made.

I found the German film online and watch some for curiosity. The first 10 minutes or so was its version of Toddy auditioning for Shakespeare. It wasn’t funny so I gave up.

🖊🖊💬💬

🖊 Factoid about Charlie: he was my first shapeshifter and I created him for a roleplay and actually originally named him Vincent but I forgot the name and I just think that Charlie fits his personality better so even after I remembered/discovered the name was Vincent originally, I kept Charlie instead of going back.

🖊 Factoid about Victoria: depending on the universe we talk about, she was either a ballerina or a prostitute/stripper before she met her husband, Max. She loved her job as a dancer, she adores dancing, and in some universes, she uses this talent to her advantage at her new job as basically an assassin for a vampiric mob/gang.

i knew victor/victoria was about a gay robert preston teaching julie andrews how to be a drag queen in 1930s paris, but i wasn't prepared for james garner to show up as a chicago gangster who falls in love with victor

then when they get together they have to both act like they're a gay couple so as not to blow victor's cover as a woman impersonating a man impersonating a woman, so he goes around for like a month as a closeted straight man

and then his bodyguard confesses to him that he's gay, too, and james garner coming out has given him the courage to come out, too, and so he starts dating robert preston

and THEN his ex rats him out to the rest of the mob that owns half of his chicago nightclub, and they show up to kick him out of the mob for being gay

it's a lot, is what i'm saying
