Tumblr girlies be like:

[jinxthejubilee]

Okay, Tumblr has officially infected me because I just remembered that this dude existed, and my first thought was that he looked more attractive without a face.

Sure, he looks like Slender Man's distant cousin, but I must officially nominate him as a Tumblr sexy man if he hasn't already.

Make it happen, people!

I see no difference

[gildasexywomancompetition]

So I decided to do the silly thing!

Upon being surprised at seeing how many people were submitting Gilda Dent in a few different iterations for the Batman sexywoman competition that is soon going to be hosted by @batman-heritageposts, I've decided to open my own sexywoman competition! But for just Gilda on her own as inspired by blogs like @riddlersexymancompetition and @twofacesexymancompetition among others.

I'm going to hold off on actually doing the polls until after batman-heritageposts' tournament is over, but until then, feel free to submit Gildas to participate!

Now, for the fun of it and because I can, I'm going to actually be pretty lenient with my definition of what a "Gilda" is for this particular competition. Gilda is a specific character within the DC universe, yes, but she also tends to be more known for the role she plays in other character's stories rather than for her own character. There are iterations of her which should clearly be in the tournament, but are not named "Gilda" for whatever reason. Therefore there are 3 different kinds of "Gilda"s that I am willing to accept.

DC/Batman characters who are direct iterations of Gilda Dent/Gilda Gold. (Examples: Gilda Gold from the 1940's comics, Gilda Gold from the current DC continuity, Gilda Dent from Gotham by Gaslight, Gilda Dent from the Flashpoint continuity, etc.)

Characters who are supposed to be Harvey Dent/Two-Face's spouse/love interest. (Examples: Grace Lamont from Batman: the Animated Series, Alice Dent from the Batman newspaper strips, Harvey Dent from the Flashpoint continuity.)

Characters who are supposed to be adaptations of the Holiday Killer. (Examples: Gilda Dent from The Long Halloween, Calendar Woman from Batman: the Animated Series.)

So yes. If people want me to put them in and you make a decent argument for it, under these specifications, I'm willing to put weird things in the bracket like Alberto Falcone (for being the Holiday Killer), or Telltale Catwoman (for being Harvey Dent's love interest) in addition to the expected Gildas to be running in this thing! Just be specific in your submission and give me a bit of an explanation why that character should be considered a Gilda!

But otherwise, please! Do just tell me what Gildas you want to see in this tournament! Feel free to leave them in the replies of this post, as a reblog, or to send me an ask!

The truth even Andrew Tate doesn't know.

Why does it take me this long and this post to realize that this man is one of Lana’s many boyfriends in smallvill 😭

Not be to the literal last person on earth to post about the ghost-maker catman dc pride appearance, but I’ve just read it and I have thoughts. 

So catman, Thomas Blake. A character my old old man of a father was familiar with, but I had never seen before in my life. This is probably because he’s made no significant appearances since like 2014(as far as I could tell). His list of accomplishments on Wikipedia is depressingly short(but does include being raked 9th on this list of comic sexymen) and his bisexuality was established...kinda(to be fair it was 2014 and I think the writer did her best) (this was in Secret Six vol 4 #1 btw)

Also he looked good back in 2014 wowza

So why him and ghost-maker? From a character perspective, Catman seems to have been in the game of pissing off batman(something I’m sure ghost-maker appreciates), and hes also got a level of skill and moral compass that are compatible with ghost-maker’s. From a writer’s perspective,,,ghost-maker wants to be Better Than Batman, anything batman has he has too. Batman has a vaguely villainous cat themed lover, so ghost-maker needs one also.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this short story, best of luck to these bisexual nerds. (We also get the first ever Khoa narration!!!)

Sidenote: can we apreciate this exchange

“you’re going to start purring aren’t you” <-Hilarious shit right there

(for the sake of not being a downer I’m not going to yell about the inconsistencies in having Catman know Khoa’s name I’m just gonna ignore it I am strong and so so normal haha)

Submit your hatter to the Mad Hatter sexyman competition!

[dc-tournaments]

I am absolutely begging you to reconsider the "no bats" in the Sexyman tournament 😭 2 of those are my boys, my hyperfixations, loves of my life, 2 of my dream boys, and I always see them getting excluding from tournaments and it's no fun if your favs are always being excluded for being "too popular" but never even get the chance to even be in one😭

I def don't think they are guaranteed to win, there are def other super popular and sexy dc characters that tumblr loves too.

Just please maybe reconsider? I truly just want to see how my favs match up against other dc sexymen. Like it's not a true dc sexyman tournament without the Bats:( 🥺🥺🥺💖💖💖

The no Bats addendum exists because there already WAS a DC sexyman tournament forever ago, the Bats completely stole the show, and Nightwing won, to no one's surprise. A non-Bat sexyman tournament is like. The control group.

The sort of men

When it comes to what many, if not most, Tumblr users find sexy in men there are those who prefer the more conventionally attractive men. But there are others whose tastes diverge significantly from the expected norms, when I mean by that they go after characters like Sans of Undertale or Alastair from Hazbin Hotel (or is it Alistair).

Even if there are women who do prefer the typical romance novel hero model, so much so this character shows up in slash fanart art and the like, there are others who go after a more unexpected model. I actually think this might be endemic to geek communities, where there is a line between sexy and geek sexy. Geek sexy would be David Bowie, not Marvin Gaye even though the latter was a real sex symbol to many other people.

A more recent example would be Adam Driver, a man who I’ll never find arousing in any way (I admit Morgan Nakhisa’s better looking than him). So are Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch, to the point where I get the nagging feeling the Geek Sexyman is practically the straight female equivalent of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl.

You know, quirky and appealing because she’s not like other girls. With the exception of Bruno and anime characters (since most of them are Japanese, regardless of how white they look), the average Tumblr sexyman is skinny, white and well-dressed. Or rather wears a suit, though for some reason despite getting skinnier not a single Jojo character’s made into a Sexyman.

Despite recently returning to Tumblr, I really don’t find these characters and people attractive in any way. But I suppose for some geeky women, they look for a man who isn’t like other men but still benefits from white privilege in a way that’s denied to men of colour. I guess it’s being nonthreatening whilst being malicious.

Sans probably got really popular not so much that he’s sexy (not even deliberately sexy as with Mettaton), but he’s quite cute and some straight women do respond well to cute characters. Though my theory doesn’t work, since he got sexualised big time. Even then, there are other factors that make him a sexyman.

Perhaps this gets stranger when you realise that Dick Grayson, despite being a major sex symbol in DC Comics, isn’t a Tumblr Sexyman most probably because he’s too conventionally attractive. Probably the same with so many Arrowverse male characters, the Arrowverse really doesn’t have its own Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch.

I still think there’s a difference between sexy and geek sexy, conventionally sexy would mean the men who appear on the covers of romance novels. Geek sexy would be whatever man some geeky fangirls get horny over but still benefit from white privilege. This is probably the real reason why David Bowie has a Fanlore entry but not Marvin Gaye.

I guess this theory’s way too damning in some regards, even though Marvin Gaye was a legitimate sex symbol in a way Bowie wasn’t. Geek sexymen (since it’s not restricted to Tumblr) are unconventional, but only in a way that privileges white men. Men of colour, for most of the part, are only attractive if they fulfill stereotypes.

Even then, it seems on one hand some geek women are desperate to reject the sort of men they’re socialised to find attractive. On the other hand, they still cling onto white men for most of the part. Possibly why so many Tumblr Sexymen tend to be white.
