Hi guys, I've kinda realized I've never really introduced myself on Tumblr because I just presume everyone knows me from Twitter, and I've been on here since I was 12 😭
I'm Poppy, 18. From England (and that's where that ends I don't want to dox myself)
My interests vary: on twitter it's simply fashion, movies and music but for Tumblr I'll go a little more in-depth💕
Fashion: mainly 60-70-80s, but I post about all eras, my favourite models (in no order) are Bebe Buell, Suki Potier, Uschi Obermaier, The Boyds and Shrimptons, Kim Kerrigan, Charlotte Martin, Susan Bottomly, Edie Sedgwick (the factory as a whole really), Talitha Pol, Donyale Luna, Renée Simonsen, Yasmin Le Bon, Gia Carangi, Laetitia Casta, Adriana Lima, Ruslana Korshunova, Gabbriette and Deva Cassel. But I post many more <3
Movies: Anything Italian, Giallos, Visconti (blame my Helmut Berger obsession) Silvana Mangano, Monica Vitti, Pasolini and I'm in! I adore actors like Ewa Aulin, Sharon Tate, Nastassja Kinski and Tina Aumont. I'm especially taken with the French New Wave scene, Truffaut, Varda and Demy. Most of my favourite actors come from this period, Jean-Pierre Lèaud, Claude Jade, Juliet Berto, Anna Karina, Anne Wiazemsky, Anouk Aimée, Romy Schneider, Françoise and Catherine, Isabelle Adjani and Huppert!
My favourite movies are: The Story of Adele h., withnail and I, Conversation piece, The Song Remains The Same, I Lived With You, Almost Famous and Rope (1948)
Music: anything Yeye! Françoise and Sylvie own my heart. I love Marianne Faithfull, she's one of my favourite singers of all time. And women like PJ Harvey and Stevie Nicks. I'm particularly into 80s music, Duran Duran, Japan, Wham and the Berlin scene: Die Haut, Gudrun Gut, Blixa Bargeld and Nebauten, Nick Cave but I also enjoy bands like Led Zeppelin, The libertines Manic Street Preachers. Aswell as, musicians like Joan Baez and Emmylou Harris.
Thank you! And I hope we can be moots, if you already follow me I'm sorry I took so long. This is just some of the things I post, expect anything from these periods though 😭

On May 25, 1965, Ann Miller received a telegram from Lucille Ball praising her performance on “The Hollywood Palace” on May 22, 1965. Miller was so surprised that she called Western Union to verify the telegram’s authenticity.
“The Hollywood Palace” was an hour-long television variety show that aired from 1964 to 1970. It was staged at the Hollywood Playhouse on Vine Street. Desi Arnaz Jr. appeared on the show with Dino, Desi & Billy in 1964 and 1968.
This episode was recorded on Friday, April 23, 1965.
This was Miller’s fourth appearance on the program. She performed “Trapped in a Web of Love” and “Won’t You Come Home Bill Bailey” with a leg injury, defying a doctor who told her she needed to stay in bed. She asked Bob Mackie to prepare a special set of tights that would help her dance on her injured leg.
The costume was auctioned off in 2009 fetching more than $1,200.
Miller had appeared with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in their 1939 film Too Many Girls.
Ball had several reasons to watch that evening’s episode of “Hollywood Palace”. In addition to Miller, the show was hosted by Tennessee Ernie Ford, who had appeared three times on “I Love Lucy” and would go on to make guest star appearances on “The Lucy Show” in 1967 and “Here’s Lucy” in 1969. In return, Ball also appeared on his television specials.
Guests included Edie Adams, who appeared on the very last episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” in April 1960. She went on to appear in a 1968 episode of “The Lucy Show.”
Comedian Jack Carter was the best man at Lucy’s wedding to Gary Morton in 1961. A few weeks later he married Paula Stewart, who played Lucy’s sister Janie in Broadway’s Wildcat. He acted in “Lucy Sues Mooney” (TLS S6;E12) and directed two episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”
A series of freeway car accidents leads to a catastrophic overpass collapse that endangers the lives of civilians and members of the 118 in the all-new "Pay It Forward" sixth season finale episode of 9-1-1 airing Monday, May 15 (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (NIN-618) (TV-14 D, L, S, V)

need the awakening kids to get more free to play friendly alts like demote owain or freebie yarne because why has it been literal YEARS since kjelle dropped and i still only have one copy of her. what is this.
-Why is Ann permitted to be on her own when they know she’s indoctrinated?
Leviathan could take control of her and force her to destroy the entire lab! Or herself!
Yes, so far it’s only occurred when an artifact is present, but they don’t know an artifact's required. It may just take more effort without one.
-Ann is yet another character with daddy issues. Does anyone in this series have a good relationship with their father?
-How did the Reapers validate years of Dr. Bryson’s work? Did he have a reason to suspect they existed?
-I still think having a piece of a Reaper in the middle of the Citadel is a very bad idea. It’s too dangerous for such a public location.
And I still want to know how they know the shielding works.
Saren had an entire lab devoted to studying indoctrination in an attempt to protect himself, but Dr. Bryson found a method in just a few years?
And if it works for the piece of the Reaper, why can’t it be expanded to protect organics? Why can’t it be used to safely research the destroyed Reapers on Tuchanka and Rannoch?
-Hmm. I suppose if Garneau knew how the shielding around the piece of the Reaper worked he could have developed something similar for the artifact. That justifies why he could develop shielding for it so quickly.
It also explains why Ann was so confident that the artifacts could be shielded.
-On a similar note, why is the husk head out in the open? And why isn’t it shielded?
The base game emphasizes that any contact with Reapers results in indoctrination. Alive, dead, their technology…
Leviathan is far more casual about it.
-Why are Shepard and James near the artifact when the shield is dropped?
It risks them becoming indoctrinated.
It’d be far safer to have Edi turn the shield on/off.
-The subtitles switch to Leviathan again when they speak through Ann.
-James can be ruthless when necessary, but he’s more paragon aligned. He’s pretty angry at Shepard for the danger they put Ann in if they go renegade.
-If you go paragon, Shepard and Ann both refer to Leviathan as “it”.
I think that time Shepard used “he” must have been an exception.
Despoina
-I suppose we can assume the crashed ships are recentish, since the M-55 Argus 1 you can find on the ship is a current weapon.
At least that explains why Shepard can read the datapads.
-The datapads tell a rather harrowing story.
Notably, the skeletons are in the various tents.
The Leviathans caused them to just lie down and wait for death… Terrifying.
At least the Leviathans made them not feel hungry.
-According to the datapads, there aren’t any fish.
So what are the Leviathans eating?
-Why does a deep diving mech have the same weapons capabilities as as a Cerberus Atlas?
I think this is gameplay convenience. In game, it probably has tools that can be used as weapons if needed.
-Well, Shepard’s undeniably indoctrinated in the Leviathan DLC. By the Leviathan, but still indoctrinated.
Maybe that prevents or Reaper indoctrination?
-Why is it still treated as a given that the Leviathans are the ones that killed the Leviathan of Dis?
When was this proven?
I suppose we’re supposed to assume Dr. Bryson proved it offscreen and that’s what led him to the artifacts.
I had assumed he stumbled over the artifacts in his search, but that the two were not directly related. Or that researchers indoctrinated by the Leviathans created the weapon that took the Reaper out.
I still feel Shepard is making a leap here.
-Do the Leviathans remind anyone else of the turians?
“Lesser races”, thrall races = client species, the lesser races are cared for…
-Leviathan: “Tribute does not flow from a dead race.”
I think we all know the Leviathans real concern with the “lesser species” being exterminated by their machines.
-How did the star child destroy the Leviathans, anyway?
The first Reaper was created from the Leviathans, so it’s not like it was superior firepower and more advanced technology like it would in future cycles.
Yes, it built pawns to perform the research it needed to perform the task the Leviathans gave it. But how did these pawns have enough strength to take out the Leviathans?
I will assume the star-child somehow also seized control of the Leviathan’s existing infrastructure and turned it against them.
-Even billions of years later, the Leviathans can’t own that they fucked up.
The star-child wasn’t a mistake. It’s still serving its purpose!
So the part where it turned against the Leviathans and destroyed them is what, a minor flaw?
-If I understand correctly, in the early cycles the Leviathans took thralls. When the Reapers came they used the thralls to destroy any evidence the Leviathans existed.
So the paintings may come from that period.
Later they switched to using the artifacts to observe and direct without leaving their safe places.
-They refer to the artifacts as fragments.
Fragments of what?
-We all agree that the Leviathans exist on other worlds, right?
They’re just not telling Shepard that for security.
-Shepard should have the bends from returning to the surface so fast.
Let’s attribute their lack the Leviathans.
-Leviathan: “Today, they pay their tribute in blood”.
A very badass line.
-The Leviathans can override Reaper indoctrination. Still no evidence if the vice versa is true or not.
-Ironically, the star-child turning organics into Reapers might have helped lead to their downfall.
The Leviathans presumably could not take control of whatever machines the star-child used to wipe them out.
They can take control of Reapers.
-After meeting Leviathan, Shepard still refers to Leviathan as “it”.
-Ann’s indoctrinated. Isn’t having her work on the Crucible risky? It gives the Leviathan a direct line to it.
-The Reapers know the Leviathans are on Despoina. Why don’t they just chuck an asteroid at it to eliminate them? They could do that without getting into indoctrination range.
The Leviathans would not be able to indoctrinate a chunk of rock. Even if they have defense systems in place, if the Reapers threw enough asteroids at once I doubt the Leviathans could stop them all.
I'm finally doing it! A list of Adult (20s+) Nonbinary/Genderqueer/Transneutral and Trans men rep in SFF books(no romantasy). This will only be limited to main or major characters.
I've not read everything on this list, so some information could be inaccurate or missing e.g I might not know that a character is actually a POC or 40s+. I will also advise to check content warnings because some of the books listed here can get pretty gnarly.
Will occasional be updated
