#anyway good luck anon!

[hotvintagepoll]

i found this blog by accident (i think the tumblr recommendations code or whatever figured out i have a polls addiction) and have had zero interest and experience in this topic but now. now i am so here. but i was wondering where i could go to watch movies with all these actors?? like i’m sure prime video or smthg might have a few classics hanging around but is there a service/website (of any legality) that specialises in vintage films and stuff? or is it really just physical media to get a lot of them? sry if this throws off your askbox, i didn’t know where else to ask! tyia <3

Hi!! I love this ask. Thanks for being here!

I don't know of any service that specializes in old movies, though HBO had a deal with TCM for a while that meant they had several classics on Max—I don't know if that's still a thing. In the meantime, though, the following websites all have "classic" channels that will be filled with great vintage movies to try:

Tubi—free streaming service that includes:

The Manchurian Candidate (Frank Sinatra, James Edwards)

The Philadelphia Story (James Stewart, Cary Grant)

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Dick Van Dyke)

On The Town (Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra)

House on Haunted Hill (Vincent Price)

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone)

A Streetcar Named Desire (Marlon Brando)

The Maltese Falcon (Humphrey Bogart)

Hoopla—free through many libraries:

The Court Jester (Danny Kaye, Basil Rathbone)

War and Peace (Jeremy Brett)

Barefoot in the Park (Robert Redford)

Cabin in the Sky (Rex Ingram)

Wings (Gary Cooper)

Kanopy—free through many libraries:

The General (Buster Keaton)

Flower Drum Song (James Shigeta)

Roman Holiday (Gregory Peck)

Seven Samurai (Toshiro Mifune)

His Girl Friday (Cary Grant)

Wuthering Heights (Laurence Olivier)

Sabrina (Humphrey Bogart)

Paris Blues (Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman)

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Conrad Veidt)

Youtube also has TONS of movies that have slipped through copyright or "accidentally" ended up there:

Charade (Cary Grant)

The Gay Divorcee (Fred Astaire)

Lying Lips (Carman Newsome, Robert Earl Jones, Oscar Micheaux)

Stormy Weather (Harold Nicholas)

Rebecca (Laurence Olivier)

The Cheat (Sessue Hayakawa)

The Lady Vanishes (Michael Redgrave)

Jungle Book (Sabu Dastagir)

To Sir, With Love (Sidney Poitier)

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Peter Falk)

What a Way to Go! (Dick Van Dyke, Gene Kelly, Paul Newman)

And of course there are methods of other legality if you want to go searching for titles by hand :)

I haven't seen all of the movies I list here—this is just a sampling of some famous ones, and a few of my secret faves—so be careful if you have trigger warnings and things. Hope you find some great movies!

fake fic meme:

Shixiong Knows Best, AFAB jc, the world never asks for jc's opinion, canon-typical respect for boundaries

Jiang Cheng is a boy and has always been a boy, or so his mother tells him. Most importantly, he's the heir to the Yunmeng Jiang, and that's why he has to follow so many rules and always make sure to be properly dressed. But Wei Wuxian isn't good at following rules, and Wei Wuxian says it's fine to go skinny-dipping, and when he notices that he and Jiang Cheng are a little different under their clothes, Wei Wuxian says it's fine if he takes a closer look, it's OK, it doesn't count between two boys—

the one for all band saves on smoke effects but the lead singers keep yelling at en for doing it at eye-level (en: have YOU ever tried expelling smoke from your ankles?? no?? THEN SHUT UP)

[soldrawss]

I have no idea if this was all from the same anon or not, but if it was, hope you're doing better anon, thank you for the apology. Im sorry you felt the need to vent this way, so maybe taking a step back from social media might be good. Wish you the best anon.

keep your trash mouth shut you pussy ass bitch and we wont call the police

Strangegodsloki

hahahahaha finally found the alphabet did you? how many days did it take you to work up the courage to send this stroke of eloquence?

Update:

I have been contacted by @strangegodsloki off anon (so unless they have been hacked, it is verifiably them this time) and they claim not to be the real author of this ask. As I just wrote in my response, I am inclined to believe this is the case if only because of the sheer incompetence one would need in order to take advantage of the anon function to send abusive messages, only to sign one's name at the end of said messages. It's... fishy, to say the least.

To SDL, I again deeply apologise for any distress, confusion or other ills my publishing of this ask has led to. Honestly, I felt iffy about publishing it to begin with for the aforementioned reason (using anon but then signing it being sus, that is). I should have gone with my first instinct there, and I did not. For that, I am genuinely sorry.

I also want to make this unequivocally clear: I do not ever, under any circumstances, condone or encourage people to send hateful asks to anyone for any reason—including as retaliation for that same behaviour. I do not send them myself, nor do I fuck with people who do so. It is entirely unacceptable, be it in my defence or anyone else's. Defending oneself on one's own blog when one is being harassed is one thing, but chasing people down on their blogs and flooding their inbox with abusive language, threats, suicide bait and the like is 1000% indefensible. Full stop. If you engage in this sort of behaviour, you are pathetic and I feel sorry for you. Grow the fuck up.

What do you think the types of drunk would the murder trio be? Im pretty sure ask dusttale already answered this question about dust but i have to ask the mtt expert

see now askdusttale DID answer the question. but they didn't ANSWER the question when asked what dust is like drunk. they just said that dust is the type to drink himself blackout drunk. so that mean i have total freedom on deciding what the mtt are like drunk hehehe (rubs hands together in a villanous way that you would imagine nightmare doing or something idk)

i already have an absolutely hilarious idea for horror and it might just because i'm on the guilt section of his character analysis but i could TOTALLY imagine him being an emotional drunk. like he CRIES. horror sans man known for being incredibly guarded and private with what he feels bawling his eye out. he gets mad he gets sad he does not get happy because horror doesn't have the right to be happy. he is too upset over the fact that he fucking DOOMED all of horrortale because of his selfishness and nothing can stop him from being incredibly vocal about that fact so much so that killer had to tape his mouth shut because he wouldn't stop crying so loud. and then he just silently cries until he passes out from exhaustion. the alcohol has an incredibly strong effect on him because i dont think he would drink regularly plus he definitely hasnt drinken anything in those 7 years of starvation. it hits like a fucking plane crashing into him. or like getting his eye taken out again. either one!

another funny idea i had for killer would be like the alcohol affecting him but he SWEARS that he's still sober. he is very confused when he starts stumbling because wtf he doesnt FEEL drunk??? why is he bumping into walls and tables HELP WHY DOES HE SOUND FUCKING STUPID???? the alcohol is definitely effecting him but he swears he swears he doesn't feel drunk. hes not drunk its just the damn body doing this stupid bullshit!!!! he's still very aware of what's going on and is basically the same as sober but just like. he's wiggly he's wobbly and oh shit he just fell head face first into a tv whoops. he'd also have a high tolerance because just because. he can drink without feeling like shit until he just blacks out mid conversation with someone because his body couldn't take the toll of all the beer or whatever. hilarious idea triglycercule thank you triglycercule i know

dust in the context that we already know that he drinks AND he can fight against the human while like partially drunk.... i feel it would be kinda like a giggly drunk situation. except dust doesn't laugh at anything that's funny he only laughs when someone gets hurt or something. SADISTIC giggly drunk. because i can already imagine a half drunk dust laughing his ass off after killing the human and its a beautiful sight to me.

anyways imagine how it goes when you pair this sadistic giggly drunk with another that wont stop going through the 5 stages of grief and another that keeps on fucking falling over for no reason in his eyes. dream blunt rotation but the blunt is a bottle of vodka. i can already imagine it in my head and its fucking HILARIOUS. horror going on about how he caused the deaths of others and manipulated and tricked papyrus while killer is just trying his best to keep his eyes open because for some reason they won't stop trying to close. he is surprisingly getting frustated. dust has long since lost his voice laughing at this and he's just silent wheezing at everything. also phantom papyrus is only making the laughter worse because he keeps on making rude comments towards horror and killer and only he can hear him and its guffaw inducing. mtt amazing friend group you dont get shit like this anywhere else

Hey, this isn’t related to the story but I was curious how you got started with twine? Your story inspired me and I want to learn the program so I can make my own. I wanted to see if you had any advice or reference points. Perfectly fine if not, much love regardless!

I've messed with Twine on and off for a while now, so I'm not sure when I actually got into it? It was probably when I originally got into IFs back in like 2015 lol

I use Twine Sugarcube specifically, and I pretty much just watched/read through these:

Twine or Treat: a youtube playlist where a guy shows you how to make a game. Focuses more on making an exploration/puzzle game in Twine, but still has some useful/relevant info

Introduction to Twine: another video playlist, although again, I really only watched what I needed

The Twine Grimoire: there's 3, with each one going through more complicated concepts each volume, includes Harlowe as well as Sugarcube

Sugarcube (and Harlowe) also have their own documentation, but it's so Long and Daunting that I honestly just ignored it when I first started LOL. It's obviously useful to have and reference, but I always need to watch people doing the thing first. I really struggle with just reading through things personally. I'm comfortable enough with Twine now that it isn't overwhelming though lol

Also I'd argue you really only need to learn how to set variables to get started with IFs. Once you know how passages work and how variables work, you're almost set to make an IF.

I'd also recommend learning the very basics HTML and CSS just in case. There's plenty of Twine templates available for free on itch.io, but if you want to adjust them in any way, it's helpful to know CSS/HTML. Also just have fun and mess around! From visual novels to this IF, my learning process has honestly just been 'fuck around and find out' and it's been useful so far! I also think it helps with the inherent anxiety of trying something new too

But yeah, hopefully some of this is helpful/useful to you!

hellooo!!! may i ask about your cards to reach lesson 48? 👀 like what kind of cards do you have in terms of rarity and at which level are they??

Hi there, anon!

I will tell you the quick answer to this question, but I feel the need to preface by saying that I pay for the VIP subscription and occasional additional devil points (this is rare, the sub is usually enough for me to get what I want lol).

Fast answer: For demon cards, I have three UR+ cards for each sin, all of which are somewhere between level 90 and 105. For memory cards, I have three UR cards for each sin, levels between 80 and 90. I unlock as much of the devil's tree as I can, but if I only have two skill levels, then I only do that much.

This allows me to skip the lesson battles if I use the strongest version of Ruri's shovel thing. I can't remember what it's called at the moment adklfjf but you know, it's the little shovel item? If I use one of those, I can clear the battle at rank A which means I can skip. I think this is a VIP thing, too, but I don't remember for sure.

That means I'm not entirely sure exactly how high the levels of your cards need to be to pass in general. Because I spent so much time between lessons in OG trying to level everything up enough to pass battles, I have been meticulously building my cards ever since NB was released. I just didn't want to have to wait MONTHS between lessons lol.

That being said, my lovely mutual created an amazing tool to help you level up your cards! You can find it here! I highly recommend using it, especially if you're an f2p player!

I know getting through the levels can be difficult if you're not spending money on the app. And even though I try to spend as little as I can, I'm still using real money which gives me extra resources to get all those cards and level them up. I just happen to be lucky enough to have a little extra to use on silly things like this.

I hope this helps a little, but if you (or anyone else!) have any other questions, please feel free to ask me!

The group photos in dating apps make me so mad I can’t even explain it. Why do men think that’s a good idea ???? 😭😭 why are men so….men (I fear I still love them 🤭)

I really don’t know, the worst is when they exclusively have group pics because how do I know he’s not the ugliest one? I wonder if they get anyy matches lol. I have one group pic on my profile too but I’ve covered my friends faces like it’s my profile 😭 (I fear still love them too🤭😭)
