i went to the doctor and he told me my blood is green

[the-sonic-crew]

"SAY NO MORE SIR!"

*grabs my leather bag and pulls out a comically long chain of handkerchiefs tied together and a lamp*

"erm one sec it's here somewhere....."

*my hand inside the bag starts glowing and a kitty of light with the gigachad face is in my arms in the simba™ pose*

"alas. Sonic you must bow before the ultimate kitty because you arent ultimate sry chat..😿😞"

"AHA NOW KITH!"

(YAYAYYAAYYAYAYAYYAYAYAYYSAYATAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAAYATATATTAATATATTTATATTATATAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYY)

[shadow's inner monologue at that moment went something like this:

Ugh... the... kitty- NO, MUST RESIST- but... the kitty...- NO, SHADOW. IT'S NOT WORTH IT, YOU'LL DO SOMETHING YOU'LL REGRET WHEN YOU'RE OLDER. PEOPLE WILL COME UP TO YOU IN THE FUTURE, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL THEM THAT YOU AND SONIC AREN'T IN A RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY WON'T STOP BOTHERING YOU. IT'S NOT WORTH IT- but the kitty... it's... all of it... the ultimate kitty.... -that does sound pretty cool but you CAN'T SHADOW. REPULSED, REMEMBER? YOU'LL DO IT AND THEN YOU'LL FEEL THAT ANXIOUS FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH THAT GROWS AND GROWS AND YOU JUST FEEL SO OVERWHELMED AND UNCOMFORTABLE AND OH GOD-]

I... I- I- I-

[Sonic gets up from where he's been bowing, expression morphing from a playful flirt to a worried, faltering grin. His eyes train, briefly, on Shadow's chest; it's started to rise and fall at a quicker pace, faster than he's ever seen it- even during all of their races and petty fights.]

Hey, are- are you feeling alright?

[He steps closer to Shadow, but Shadow's expression only morphs further into something closely resembling horror before masking itself quickly with anger.]

GET AWAY FROM ME. I JUST- I just want- ARGH!

[He backs into a 'corner' of the space, curling into a ball.]

You're all the same. You'll force me to do such a thing... when I...

... I think maybe that was a boundary we shouldn't have crossed. Sorry guys, no kisses for Shadow in the near future. Or, uh, judging by that reaction, probably ever. Sooooooo if you don't mind, I'll justttttttt... yep that cat's ours now OK BYE

[EXPLANATION IN THE TAGS -💀]

[hotvintagepoll]

Peter Lorre (The Maltese Falcon, Arsenic and Old Lace, Casablanca)—to me he DEFINES scrungle hes the first person i think of every time the term comes up! i want to fold him up like a paper accordion and put him in my pocket. guy that spawned a million voice artists and impersonators. they made a ghost version of him for halloween cereal staple boo berry. bewitched by his nervous mania and tooth gap <3 (for the purposes of propaganda im linking a photo from his extremely short appearance in muscle beach party bc ive been obsessed w it for years and i couldnt find any video for it :/ anyway imagine youre frankie avalon spending the whole movie battling a bodybuilder faction thats taking over your beach and your girl and then you find out this fucking guy is their mastermind mystery leader and hes stronger than all the bodybuilders combined. like Huh. What.)

Elsa Lanchester (The Bride of Frankenstein, Witness for the Prosecution, Mary Poppins)—Surely somebody's already submitted Elsa Lanchester for this right? Right??? Because her scrungle levels are OFF THE CHARTS in literally everything. The way she's Katy Nanna straight-up refusing to spend another minute with Jane and Michael Banks because she has DIGNITY thank you very much. The way she's Mary Goddamn Shelley stuck listening to Lord Byron mansplaining literature like "ha ha maybe even YOUR little monster story will be published" and she shoots back "It *WILL* be published, *I* think!!!" in the most bright-as-nails fuck-you-Byron voice imaginable. The way she's a nurse herding her lawyer charge through a sordid love-triangle case and we gradually realize the real love story was between her and the lawyer all along. The way she's a clandestine witch casting hexes on telephones, the way she's a princess's PA and helps an old friend steal an invitation card, the way she's a cleaning lady who goes to Germany to personally assassinate Hitler, the way she's a posh village worthy trying to impress Danny Kaye, the way ERRGHH i could go on just look at her scrungle.

These are the the semifinals for the scrungly little guy contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you’re confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

[additional submitted propaganda + scrungly videos under the cut]

Peter Lorre:

he's pretty much the archetype of the scrungly little guy. the blueprint. the example by which all other scrungly little guys are judged

The entire point of his iconic role in Casablanca (apart from introducing the central plot mcguffin) was to be LITTLE and SCRUNGLY to make Bogie look even cooler. And Maggot in Corpse Bride - the littlest scrungliest guy in that film - was a parody of him.

Between his big eyes, wheezy laugh, short stature, and expressive faces, Peter Lorre achieved icon status as the scrungliest, littlest guy in Hollywood. His scrungly little guy energy was often contrasted with the more typical masculinity of the leading man, but whether this contrast was meant to make him seem especially sinister, comedic, or pathetic, it always left an unforgettable impression!

The perfect sniveling character actor, “scrungly” is the first word that comes to mind when I think of him.

I'm sure somebody else has already submitted him (if not then ???) but he's a cute kind of scrungly little guy. He's got a distinctive nasal voice with an accent that is instantly recognizable and often imitated. His later horror movies are so much fun, especially when he's playing off of Vincent Price. He's so good at being unhinged, creepy, or manic, but also pathetic and sympathetic.

Classic scrungly hollywood golden age little guy who was friends with Humphrey Bogart and still played some of the wettest most sniveling characters ever committed to celluloid (complimentary) there is a deep despair and darkness in many of his characters that enhances his scrungly

To be clear, I am one of those people who will argue that Lorre is one of the most underrated film actors, but the POINT is that he's also just a scrungly delight. A delightfully pocket-sized man. Somehow endearing even when he is being actively amoral (see esp. Casablanca. "I found myself much more reasonable!") The faces he makes while doing the Russian cossack dance with a butter knife between his teeth in Silk Stockings make me laugh just thinking about them.

Wikipedia described his typical characters as "timidly devious", lots of weird little villains and evil sidekicks that are pretty horrifying but still manage to be sort of pathetic and the very definition of "poor little meow meow". His look and voice and mannerisms are so iconic they're still imitated

Cartoons for the next century have and will continue to include Peter Lorre-esque characters when needed to up the scrunge factor (see Bugs Bunny and so many more).

Youtube link for characters inspired by Lorre [editor's note: I'm not actually sure how many of these characters are directly, verifiably influenced by Peter Lorre, so take with a grain of salt. tw for suicide depiction.]

I think Arsenic and Old Lace is his quintessential "scrungly" performance. He's so put-upon and tired...all he wants is sleep and some schnapps! I love the way his shoulders fall slowly when he thinks he's caught (he looks like a sad puppy!), only to gleefully sprint out the door when he realizes how dumb those police officers are.

The Strawhats were in the previous post. Finally, the other flavors were revealed:

Kuma: "Chocolate Chip"

Bonnie: "Very Berry Strawberry"

Vegapunk: "Apple a la Mode"

Lilith: "Poppin' Cotton Candy"

Kaku: "Hojicha Brûlée"

Lucci: "Vanilla"

Borsalino: "Caramel Ribbon"

Law: "Tiger Tail"

Sabo: "Soda float, Cream Soda flavor with Rumune"

Hancock: "Love Potion"

Crocodile: "Camouflage"

Buggy: "Camouflage Blue"

Mihawk: "Camouflage Pink"

Shanks: "Vampire Kiss"

Teach: "Midnight Apple"

The names are translated. But when I said the names give clues, I mean that searching for them on google already tells you what they're made of.

For example, Law is "Tiger Tail" which according to BR is butter melting pancake, unlike the recipe which is with orange. And Sabo is "Soda Float, cream soda flavored with rumune", a flavor that I have never seen in my country, but searching it seems to be a variant of a popular soft drink in Japan. Sabo tastes like "summer sky", so cute ♡

I was too lazy to look them up one by one. Sorry.

[lycanthropicture]

i love that cas said smushed :) it got a little smushed :) i was carrying it in my coat but it got a little smushed :) i like it bc i think i always kind of. without thinking abt it too hard. assumed he could carry unlimited things in his trenchcoat like the way angels can summon angel blades from their sleeves. u know. a la mary poppins bag. a la tardis technology. like ichabod crane in sleepy hollow. i have more examples but my point is that he cant :) sometimes he carries delicate smushable things and they do indeed get a little smushed :)

[dcocca]

Hello everyone! Finally, I bring you the post in which you will find a complete list of the literary works I mention in my fic “Pages About You, Pages About Me”!

At the moment, it mentions ALL the book titles referenced from the beginning to the current chapter, and I will update it as we go.

Here you will find the books and comic books mentioned as they were introduced in the fic, following the chapter order. So, for example, if you’re currently on Chapter 8, you can go straight to the part of the list dedicated to that Chapter and see which works were mentioned, without spoiling yourself anything that could pop up on later chapters.

The list includes both works that are explicitly quoted and works that are only briefly mentioned, or are referenced as passing thoughts. Wherever an author is mentioned without any of their specific works being brought up, I will put a book title that might represent them or that I particularly love. If the same author is mentioned in more than one chapter, you will find them added more than once, in each chapter they appear on, but perhaps with a different book title mentioned (we like variety, don’t we?).

Books are blue, comics are red. The titles of Aziraphale and Crowley’s two-person book club, the ones that are the bone and marrow of the story, are also written in bold (and listed only in the chapter in which they make their first appearance).

[artist-issues]

now I'm kind of curious...

are there any stories/media that you think cover LGBT topics well? like accurately reflecting what it is, having the proper message about it, etc.

Oh gee. Ummmm…not really, unless you want to tilt your head and squint and count Dracula. But even with that, I don’t think Bram Stoker was intending to draw specific allusions to LGBTQ sexual desire. I think it was just “any bad perversion of purity.”

This is interesting: I think Downton Abbey unintentionally portrayed it well with their character Thomas in the first few seasons. Because he’s a selfish, self-preserving character. He puts what he wants in front of everything. And then he’s gay. So when you think of all sin as rooted in pride, wanting to be God, wanting to call the shots, and both sexual perversion AND trying to like, steal your coworker’s glory, as coming from that same place—then Thomas is a great example of that. He’s consistent with that, through and through.

Other than that, nothing springs readily to mind. I think there are a lot of stories that are anti-the-mindset-I-just-described-up-there. Which is great. Anti-you-get-to-be-god. Anti-getting-your-way-just-because-it’s-your-way.

Alice in Wonderland (Disney’s classic animated film) is the prime example of that. Weirdly, the first Tinker Bell movie. Mary Poppins. And then if you want to go this route, there are so many that are true-marriage and true-love, self-sacrificial-love, affirming. Too many to count. I think Beauty & the Beast is the best one, but also Twisters, Rebel Without a Cause (that’s not really the main point of that one but there are seeds in it) The Happiest Millionaire, Pride & Prejudice, Lord of the Rings, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, etc.

But in general, no, our world has always done one of two things:

Ignore the topic. Pretend it is not happening. (Like C.S. Lewis says in Surprised by Joy.)

Celebrate it as a good thing.

Very rarely is it the Not-Secret Third Thing, which is the correct thing: SHOW IT FOR WHAT IT IS. Not a super-sin, which is irredeemable and must be hushed up. Not a virtue. But a regular sin, as far as any sin can be regular—and totally overcomable and redeemable by the blood of Christ.

Fun fact. The startup studio I worked with started working on something that was kind of like this, so I think it can be done. (I don’t know if it’ll ever get finished at this point, but it’s possible to make a story like this)

[mo-the-gremlin-dandelion]

Minecraft Movie - I Have Opinions

Before I get crucified: I watched it with my friend who pirated it.

Also, if you enjoyed this movie, I'm happy for you. Genuinely.

This just me and my opinion. People are allowed to like what they like and are also allowed to not like things. I have some stupid movies I like too.

So first and foremost, I must admit my bias:

I have been playing Minecraft since it came out.

I'm an English major, so sorry if this sounds pretentious, but I am hard wired to find plot holes/issues. Blame my one professor.

I tried to be as unbiased as possible, but this movie made it hard.

-*-*-

Now, I don't usually critic movies or any type of media. I usually don't care at all in fact, but as I said in my first bias point: I have been playing Minecraft since it came out in 2011.

I love this game and the memories that come with it so much.

And ten year old me would be so disappointed.

It seems like they didn't do any actual research on how Minecraft works and just took the bare minimum information and ran with it.

Like they could've made it so good and there are so many stories they could've made. It's a sandbox game with a lot of lore they could've used to make a great story, but no.

Like we could've had movie about:

Characters defeating the End Dragon

Villagers vs Pillagers

The horror of the Deep Dark?! Hello!

And those are just a few, generalised ideas.

The terrain doesn't even look right. They could've generated a random world and based the movie off of it! Like take some screen shots and draw over it!

This movie was not made by people who love the game.

Like add to the world instead of taking away from it.

For example: The Hobbit movie trilogy and Lord of the Rings books + movie trilogy.

I have read most of the Tolkien books and I didn't mind that things were added or left out of the movies.

For obvious time constraints, not everything in the Lord of the Rings books could be added (RIP Tom Bombadil).

Also, when making a movie of a book, not everything is going to look the same because it's a fictional story and we do not have magic so you have to work with what you have 🤷‍♀️.

For The Hobbit, I didn't mind that they added to the story. I love the book, but in the end I did find the movies more enjoyable.

The Minecraft movie however, can't use any of these arguments due to:

It's an animated movie based off of a video game.

People weren't expecting them to use all of the source material because it's a sandbox game with a lot of lore, but that's not an excuse to use NONE of it.

-*-*-

This might just be my opinion, but the real people in an animated world was... meh. I just don't think it works.

Now, I like some films with a mix of real people and animated characters. Some examples are:

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Enchanted

Osmosis Jones

Mary Poppins (1964)

Bedknobs and Broomsticks

The Pagemaster (Scared the crap out of me.)

Rock-a-doodle

Looney Tunes: Back in Action

Space Jam (They played this once a week on TV, so I got annoyed with it and don't like it very much + don't like basketball. But a lot of people like this so I added it.)

I think what generally works is:

Real characters become animated and world becomes animated/go to animated world. (ex: Rock-a-doodle & Enchanted & The Pagemaster)

Real world and animated world are separate. (ex: Osmosis Jones & movies listed above in point 1)

Animated characters are in real world. (ex: Looney Tunes: Back in Action & Who Framed Roger Rabbit?)

Animated characters aren't drawn to be realistic. (ex: Mary Poppins (1964) & Bedknobs and Broomsticks)

So far, the only movie I've seen where the realistic animation works is in the Sonic movies. But that is due to them not being "animated characters". As in, they are real in that world.

So if you are going to make a movie with real characters going into an animated world/with animated characters (that are animated characters not real): DON'T MAKE THE ANIMATED ASPECTS LOOK TOO REALISTIC!! IT DEFEATS THE WHOLE PURPOSE!!

Like seriously, this sheep is awful.

Don't even get me started on the piglins. They look like clay. Like a old stop motion picture. Except if it was actual stop motion, it could've been better.

-*-*-

Now on to the biggest argument I have seen. The "iT wAs MaDe FoR kIdS, iT's SuPpOsEd To Be StUpId" argument.

Just because it's made for kids, does not mean it HAS to be stupid or poorly written.

Kids aren't stupid. There are far too many adults that treat them like they are or like accessories or think kids don't deserve nice things.

When I was a child, I actively got mad when people called me stupid or acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. How are kids supposed to learn things if we dumb everything down for them all the time? Obviously somethings need to be in order to understand and depending on the age, but not everything.

Life isn't easy, it's hard sometimes and it's important to learn how to deal with things we don't understand. It's important to learn how to figure out difficult things too.

Movies are a good way to teach kids difficult issues.

On the other hand, everything doesn't have to be "deep" or "edgy" either. The moral of the story can just be: "Friendship is good" or whatever.

A movie can be stupid/silly, but also well written.

It can have terrible animation/effects. It's expensive, they may have had to make do with what they had/could afford. It could also be an old movie and that's what they had at the time.

Something can also be funny because it has bad writing.

Like I enjoyed Minecraft: Story Mode when it came out. I thought it was fun. I didn't mind the bad writing. I thought the animation was alright. It also actually LOOKED LIKE Minecraft and built onto the lore.

This movie was made by Warner Bros. They could've done better.

-*-*-

Now again, if you enjoyed this movie, I'm happy for you. Genuinely.

This just me and my opinion. People are allowed to like what they like and are also allowed to not like things. I have some stupid movies I like too.

But don't hate on people that didn't like this movie because they like/love Minecraft and are upset with it.

And don't hate on the people that enjoyed this movie.

We can discuss different opinions on media while also not being assholes to each other.

[mintytealfox]

I love Nortalice and your posts about them so much!! But I'd like to share hehehe in defense of my wife (Alice), I feel like one of the reasons she asks questions on the mining incident is to gauge a reaction from Norton. Alice is a highly empathetic and analytical person, having firsthand experience of the horrors of poverty as the "daughter of misfortune" and rising up to become a social journalist. So, seeing Norton's body language filled with discomfort and avoidance, she can deduce a lot of things since actions speak louder than words. As much as I want an adorable Nortalice meet-cute, she has a job to do, and Norton has a boatload of prejudice towards her hahaha OH but on a more positive note! IDK IF YOU POSTED ABT IT BUT IVORY TOWER "TOUCHSTONE" (Norton) x NIGHTINGGALE (Alice) SOSOSO MUCH YEARNING ESP ON NORTON'S PART BECAUSE WHY eLSE WOULD YOU JOIN A CLUB THAT PLANS TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT WHERE ALICE DISAPPEARED HMMM????

LOL yea and that is the most likely answer as to why. I just like to give them both a hard time and poke at my favorite characters lol

Cause Alice wants the truth and knows how to get it for sure for sure 👀 The fact that she can even pick any locks is scary how devoted she is to the craft~ 👀🙏 Which makes me think that she doesn't really mind if she upsets the person who is her target but I did find it interesting that she was still willing to soften and change the subject in the 'just chat' dialogue with Norton being like "my fave food? well its this this and this" and all the other examples~ So it makes me wonder that the more she learned about him the more she empathized with him and asked him more chill questions and finding out that Norton is actually a yapper with those and she doesn't even have to pay for those chill questions that provide significantly more insight LOL NORTON PLS BRO LOL He is trying to be mysterious and keep his mouth shut but as soon as he hears 'whats your dream?' Norton: "THE SKY, FREEDOM, PEACE, AND QUIET, A GOOD BOOK ,AND SOME TEA ,OH aND A TEACHER SO I CAN CATCH UP ON ALL THE SCHOOLING I MISSED OUT ON AND OH DID I MENTION THE SUN NEEDS TO FILL THE HOME TOO???" LIKE BRO 😂 He doesn't know how to lie or control his reactions in this particular situation lol Cause he has never been acknowledged, listened too, or watched so closely by this seemingly nice blonde lady lol He is too honest in this situation and can't help himself it seems like

They both had bad moments while interacting and that is what makes them such good believable characters and I love them all the more for it~

Like I feel Alice tends to put her job first and foremost and legit Norton is similar 👀 But here I did find it interesting that they both ended up throwing each other bones and this further makes me think that Norton will be on Alice's side in the end and try to help her survive.

ALSO, Alice doesn't speak about her traumatic life while Norton dropping hints about his. So it makes me wonder how his views would shift as soon as he hears even a MOLOCULE of Alice's past 👀

-----

YOU ARE POPPIN OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFF WITH THE IVORY TOWER STUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFF 👀🙏🙏🙏 ABSOLUTELY HECK YES HECK YES HEECCKK YYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

YOU ARE SO RIIIIIIIIGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTT

He gotta find the nice blonnnndeee that he tells the 'a little sweetness' line TO!! GO SOLVE THAT THING BBYYYYYYYYYYYY

The voices in my Wish Rewrite

I haven’t talked much about it, but in my Wish rewrite some characters would be recasted. I wanted to make this post just to show which actors I’d replace… And it’s pretty much everyone except Magnifico, cause ya know, Chris Pine is Magnifico, and Magnifico is Chris Pine, it’s just how it is.

So let’s get this started!

Asha- Denée Benton

Im absolutely OBSESSED with this woman’s voice, she sounds like an angel and carries so much personality in her performance, she sounds pure, youthful, hopeful but also strong, everything I imagine Asha as. THIS is what I imagine the 100th anniversary Disney princess sounding like. Not that I didn’t like Ariana DeBose’s singing tho, but I just love Denee Benton more, and hey, it’s my rewrite, so I get to imagine Asha’s voice how I please. Also I can totally see Asha and Aster singing this song.

Aster- Jordan Fisher

Oooooh this man, I love him so much. His voice has the perfect energy for Aster, sounding youthful and melodic like a prince, it had to be a literally other worldly voice, and I think Jordan’s voice is PRETTY DANG other worldly, like, this example I found on Spotify doesn’t even do him justice, go listen to his other singing chops on YouTube.

If you look up Jordan Fisher you’ll see the guy is DEEPLY connected with Disney in his career, from singing the song “Happily Ever After” 6 years ago, which is the theme song for the Magic Kingdom, to now being the main singer of 4-town in the movie Turning Red. And of course this one time he made a cover of “You’re Welcome”, the guy just lives and breaths Disney so WHY NOT have him as a wishing star? It just makes sense. But besides working with Disney he also has experience in a musicals such as Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Sweeney Todd and more recently he became the new Orpheus in Hadestown… And by god I need a good quality audio of him singing “Wait For Me” more than I need air because that song fits Aster’s character SO WELL.

Magnifico- Chris Pine

Yeah no surprises here, you can’t have Magnifico without Chris Pine… But HIS SINGING VOICE IN THIS SONG THOUGH??? ITS SO GOOD!!! I listened to “Any Moment” ONCE and now I constantly go back to listen to it over and over and imagine young Magnus and Amaya meeting in the woods. I still haven’t posted about Amaya’s backstory BECAUSE IM TOO LAZY TO FINISH THE DRAFT I HAVE EXPLAINING IT- But let me just say her hesitating to start a relationship with him is VERY accurate to her character. And Magnus being like “May I kiss you” out of nowhere because he: 1- Sees himself as irresistible so he thinks she’d fall for him with just that and 2- he had 0 social skills before he met Amaya.

And then there’s the line “Life is often so unpleasant, you must know that as a peasant” ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! This is LITERALLY something my Magnifico would say, I’m so freakin lucky!

My point is, my rewrite’s Magnifico sounds like THIS when he sings, with a deep, smooth and honeyed voice that makes you want to trust him… Take that high pitched voice Chris Pine did in “This Is The Thanks I Get” and throw it out the window. Disney wasted the man’s talent. I’m so mad.

Amaya- Emily Blunt

Do you guys see my vision? Do I even have to say anything? Like really, go watch a scene of the Mary Poppins remake, any scene with her at all, that woman has a voice that DEMANDS respect, while also being motherly, it’s practically perfect in every way. I’m using “Open Up Your Eyes” here as an example though because… Well, it fits her backstory… Ya know, the backstory I’m stalling to talk about 👉👈… But it also just simply fits her personality in general!

And no disrespect for her voice in the movie, Angelique Cabral… BUT ITS EMILY BLUNT AS AN EVIL QUEEN!!! Come ooooon! It’s just meant to be!!!

Also side note, since we’re talking about Queen Amable, THIS design that came from an deleted scene is how I’ve imagined her the whole time:

Like, I could not STAND her hairstyle in the movie, it simply didn’t fit my vision for her character, see, Amaya is sophisticated but she’s also… Practical and likes to feel comfortable, hence why in my rewrite her dress has no sleeves, she values her own comfort more than conforming to the social norms… AND THAT HAIR LOOKING LIKE HEADPHONES WITH THAT CROWN THAT MADE HER FOREHEAD LOOK LIKE A SQUARE DROVE ME NUTS!

So yeah, this is our Queen Amable, voiced by Emily Blunt, with a British accent, in all her glory, we’re moving on.

Valentino- Gregory Mann

This is just a bonus mention, since Valentino doesn’t even sing in my rewrite, he just speaks in like 3 scenes… And you guys have only seen one of them so far. But either way, let it be known he sounds like Gregory Mann, because Gregory Mann sounds adorable. That is all.

Thank You For Reading!

[hotvintagepoll]

Trying to get more into old movies because of this blog (I only know about half of these people and feel like a poser) do you have good recommendations on where to start or is it just a situation where you watch stuff and find what you like as you go?

you are not a poser <3 i myself am just here for the hotties.

here is my quick and dirty list of fun films to start with if you're new to old movies. and of course if you like one of these, do try to find more stuff as you go! there's no bad way to try out old movies.

(this list is not official and is SUPER quick. i'm tagging for content warnings where I can, but if I forgot something let me know.)

"I want to watch something SILLY!"

The Court Jester (Danny Kaye, Angela Lansbury, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone)—everyone in this movie is hot. everyone is in fancy medieval dress, which makes them hotter. everyone here is very silly. You can stream this on Hoopla, last time i checked, so you might be able to stream it through your library!

Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang (Dick Van Dyke, Sally Ann Howes, Lionel Jeffries, Gert Frobe)—some people hate this movie and to them I say What Is Wrong With You. dick van dyke is a hot absent minded inventor who lives in a windmill with his two adorable children, his gorgeous sheepdog, and a grandfather who is categorically useless. it feels like the two films mary poppins (1964) and willy wonka (1971) had a baby and that baby was born on roller skates singing an old broadway showtune. this one has been showing up in some odd places lately—I think you can catch it on Tubi or Hoopla? It's definitely around.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Jane Powell, Julie Newmar, Howard Keel, Russ Tamblyn)—my problematic fave. everytime i watch this i change my mind whether it's a sexist pile of garbage or a feminist paean, and fellas, today we're on the feminist paean bandwagon!! jane powell's millie is truly the star of the movie, she is the hero she drives the plot the narrative is on her side, and besides all that there are seven very hot men dancing next to her and six beautiful ladies making me bisexual. (on Tubi last I checked.)

The Duke Is Tops (Lena Horne, Laurence Criner)—I get a huge kick out of watching Laurence Criner and Ralph Cooper swindle everybody while also trying to put on a show; there's just something silly and sincere here, plus you get a ~musical extravaganza~ at the end when all is right as rain again. Free on YouTube I think?

"I want to watch something DRAMATIC that may make me FEEL SOMETHING."

Witness for the Prosecution (Marlene Dietrich, Tyrone Power, Elsa Lanchester)—I love a campy twisty turny mystery, don't you? :) I'm not going to talk about this one much because it's better to go in blind, but if you like Agatha Christie stories you'll probably like this.

To Be Or Not To Be (Carole Lombard, Jack Benny)—always relevant, always makes me laugh, also makes me cry. this takes place in poland during wwii so big tw for nazi imagery and mentions. (don't worry. this movie fucking hates nazis.)

Seven Samurai (Toshiro Mifune)—this one is Great Cinema™™™™™™™™™™™ for a goddamned reason

"I want to watch some stuff with the scrungles in it!"

Mr. Washington Goes to Town (Mantan Moreland)—I've been checking out more of Mantan Moreland's stuff because every time I see him in something I think he's delightful, and I really enjoyed this silly-spooky comedy. Does this story have a brain cell? No. Are the special effects and goofy slapstick fun? Yes. This is a fun example of an all-Black cast in a film that was made for Black audiences, and is a striking counterpoint to the stereotypical representation Black actors were given in white-targeted films, showing the enormous amount of talent and artistry the racist studios missed out on by excluding these actors. This is not A Great Film™ but it's still A Fun Time,™ with a goofy Laurel and Hardy type vibe. (It's free on Youtube.)

The Red Shoes (Robert Helpmann, Leonide Massine, Marius Goring)—hey kid, you wanna watch something fucked up? This movie is so fucked up. It's about ballet, it's about art, it's about technicolor, it's about dance and toxic relationships and making theatre and nightmares and ambition and death. A lot of these recs tend on the silly side (because I tend on the silly side) but this one is actually Serious Film and will definitely help you chat up Martin Scorsese should you ever meet him. Big content warning if you can't handle dark themes right now—this movie's pretty dark, not in the gore way but in the Haunting Creepy Image way. (it's also free on Tubi and Kanopy most of the time.)

The Invisible Man (Claude Rains)—my favorite of the vintage horror flicks and a great introduction to Most Dunked On Hot Vintage Man of All Time, Claude Rains. (it helps that you barely ever see him!) Very very silly but the special effects are just plain fun. (I think this is on Internet Archive in full?)

"Can I just get more hot people please?"

Flower Drum Song (James Shigeta, Nancy Kwan, Miyoshi Umeki, Jack Soo)—there are so many unbelievably hot people in this movie which is somehow very good (thanks to its cast) and also incredibly, horrifically bad (thanks to its white team of writers, directors, and producers). on the one hand, it's a mostly Asian cast in a big budget, beautifully designed MGM style musical! there's dream sequences, lots of fun dancing, crooning Rogers & Hammerstein cabaret moments, and just charm galore. it is also freighted with so. many orientalist assumptions and stereotypes, absolutely ridiculous shit that the writers ABSOLUTELY should have known better about in the 60s and nonetheless carried into this. this is a hard one to recommend because I loved this cast, and I loved seeing them in a context beyond the usual stereotypical bit parts so many of them frequently were limited to—yet the movie itself perpetuates so many stereotypes on its own it can be a hard one to watch, and I totally understand if it does not work for most people. tl;dr watch for Shigeta, Kwan, Umeki, and the others, but content warnings galore for one (really bad) case of yellowface casting, orientalist tropes, extremely stereotypical character types, etc. (On Tubi/Kanopy last I checked.)

Charade (Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, James Coburn)—this movie feels like a Hitchcock movie except I had a ton of fun watching it, which I can't always say for a Hitch film. (I told you my taste was bad.) This one is free on YouTube and thank god because Audrey wears a lot of Givenchy, Cary Grant wears spectacles and keeps almost dying, it's very exciting and thrilling and funny and sexy. I don't think there are any content warnings but it's been a minute since I watched it. (I should go watch it right now.)

The Big Sleep (Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall)—they're so hot askjdljhjghladkghjksahkhgslkahgshskjhgsalhgsahgjh. i like this one a lot :)

[this is NOT A FULL LIST of all the hot vintage movies to start with but it might give you some starting places! i banged this out as quick as I could at 2 am, so apologies that it's sloppy and not perfect.]

-ˋˏ ძ᥆kі ძ᥆kі ˎˊ-

┆Poppin' Party! gf headcanons

-ˋˏWarnings┆none!ˎˊ-

-------------------

Reader is very heavily implied to be fem but no pronouns are mentioned! Ft. Kasumi, Rimi, Saya, Arisa, and Tae respectively! There will be multiple parts for this for each band so stay tuned for your pookie bears! Definitely OOC. . .

Not proofread cuz I suck :c

-♯ kᥲsᥙmі 𝗍᥆ᥡᥲmᥲ

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She definitely drops by your house sometime after school to talk and practice a cheesy love song for you <3

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ The type of girl to have 16 different pet names for you, whether they're the basic "darling, honey, love, babe" or something entirely unique like "My shooting star" for example

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She most definitely sneaks you into her bands concerts for free but will always ask before hand ofc!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ You guys probably don't have too much alone time together so you have to get along with the band

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ I think PDA (on her side at least) is an absolute need for her because of the last hc. She needs to express her affection whether it's around others or not :(

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She definitely puts some of her hair clips in your hair or if not, she clips them onto your clothes ^^

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Sort of related to the last, she likes to give you little ears similar to hers (Once again, if possible :>)

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ I don't have many ideas for Kasumi but I just know she absolutely refuses to keep you a secret and always ends up telling the crowd at one of her concerts that the song is for you or just straight up tells you she loves you. She will, however, stop doing it if you tell her.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ The 'clothes stealing' type of girlfriend. She wears your a lot of your shirts out casually, like at practice or just as pajamas you're never getting those shirts back.

-♯ rіmі ᥙsһіg᥆mᥱ

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Always shares her chocolate cornets with you and by that I mean she gives you a lot of them/the bigger piece. It's like her special way of saying she loves hou without actually saying it <3

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ On that last note, if you can't have chocolate cornets for whatever reason, she will always remember to get you a ton of your personal favorite snacks instead!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She loves trying to teach you how to play her bass if possible. She'll also probably let you stick a few, small stickers on it if you ask very very nicely ^^

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Begs you to add small lines in a song of theirs if the other members allow it. Whether it's adding a lyric or adding your voice in there yourself.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Not too big on PDA. It makes her feel anxious to kiss you because she feels like someone is staring. She'll hold hands you for most definitely but anything further might make her uncomfortable.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ If you're good at making patches, stitching, sewing, anything like that she'll definitely ask for help with some of her stage outfits if there's ever trouble but also asks in the smallest voice if you can add something in there of your own so she'll always have you around corny ik 😞.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ If you dabble in baking, she'll definitely ask you if you can make her chocolate cornets. She'll also try all of your creations and gives you the most sugar coated criticism ever. Never trust her to tell you how she genuinely feels about your baking because she will never tell you the full truth.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Probably not the biggest gift giver. I can assure you she gets you stuff on Valentine's day, don't get me wrong, but other than soecial days and occasions like that, she probably won't get you a lot other than food.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ If you're good at makeup at all she'll definitely ask you to help her when getting ready for a concert. She trusts you very much to help her look her best for concerts and- once again- asks you to add something unique so everyone knows she got her makeup done by you. On that note, the other members probably ask you to do their makeup at some point and she gets just a tad bit jealous everytime.

-♯ sᥲᥡᥲ ᥡᥲmᥲᑲᥙkі

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She makes a special bread for you everytime you come to the shop. She doesn't give it anyone else + it contains all of your favorite ingredients <3

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ I genuinely can't see her calling her s/o anything other than babe or hun. I don't honestly feel like she's that kind of person that has a bunch or cheesy pet names Kasumi.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ I think she's pretty neutral with PDA. She doesnt exactly hate it but she'll never initiate it on her own. She just gives off that 'I need to keep thing's professional' vibe.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Like 50% of your dates are just baking and trying out new recipes together. You're almost always the taste tester but if you ask, she'll teach you something simple if you don't have a lot of experience.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She's definitely a gift giver but not in the 'buys you tons of things' way. More in the 'makes you tons of things' way. This is related to her making you bread and what not but she makes crafts for you too!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Her hugs are way tighter than they look. She make look like she's a gentle hugger but when it comes to you, she's got the grip of a gorilla. She clings to you like she's trying to stop you from running away.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Unsurprisingly, not a very jealous person. She knows you and she trusts you a lot. She knows you wouldn't hurt her in anyway <3

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She may not get jealous but she doesn't like it when people touch you in a way that's more or less romantic. It doesn't matter if the person is just being polite, they have absolutely no write to kiss your hand.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ You guys definitely work on making food together. If you can cook dinner, she can cook desert. If you're not good at cooking, she'll help! Either way you guys definitely both do a lot in the kitchen together.

-♯ ᥲrіsᥲ іᥴһіgᥲᥡᥲ

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Arisa, as we all know, is the kind of girl to push you away when she likes you. To put it bluntly, in a word I hate using, she's a tsundere. So it probably took her confessing alone quite a while.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Arisa definitely drops the act after you two get together. It'd be ridiculous to bully your own s/o, right?!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She's oddly affectionate. Much like Kasumi, she loves PDA. It isn't necessarily a must but she does enjoy it and will do it unless you explicitly tell her not to.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ I can see her letting you plaster stickers all over her keyboard. She doesn't mind! She loves it actually, to have stickers from her loved one right on the front of her keyboard where she can always see them and think of you while she's at practice or during a concert!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She loves it when you play with her hair!! It's so comforting to her. She'll probably do yours but she enjoys it much more when you do it on her! Decorate her hair, braid it, brush it, massage her scalp, whatever it is! It's always calming to her, especially right before bed or while you guys cuddle.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Buys you so. many. things. during Valentine's day. It's not even funny how many thing's she gets you. She'll get you your favorite chocolates, your favorite flowers, a plushie, more of your favorite Candy's, please stop her she will literally go broke for you!!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Another jealous one. . . She surprisingly doesnt get mad. She's the type of jealous girlfriend that just gets quiet and sad. It's definitely noticeable because she won't be yapping as much with you as she normally does.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Really concerned about your health, weirdly enough. She'll get worried if you start coughing, sniffling, even just a small sneeze scares her. She won't rush you to the ER for a cold, don't get me wrong, but she definitely starts preparing a bunch of cough medicine at the slightest sign.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Overall, she's just an absolute sweetheart and I think she'd be a moderately clingy kind of girlfriend. She won't follow you everywhere you go or check your location every ten seconds but she definitely loves holding onto you in some form.

-♯ 𝗍ᥲᥱ һᥲᥒᥲz᥆ᥒ᥆

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Really random but if you have sensory issues, she tries her best to note and avoid certain textures/sounds/smells for you but will always attempt to get you to try something new.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Probably dresses you up in a bunny suit. No, not the freaky one. She dresses you up in a literal bunny suit. She never makes you wear it outside though, probably just gave you the suit as a onesie.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ If she senses even the smallest thing is off about your behavior, she's immediately on it. She's not pushy of course but she's very thorough in making sure your okay <3

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Oddly clingy! She holds you by the waist as if you'd fade into nonexistence if she let go. She doesn't need PDA either but she definitely enjoys it!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Probably the most romantic out of the bunch. She'd buy you roses once every week, celebrate your anniversary with a cozy date at home, buy you plushies/snacks/cards, thing's like that! She also makes sure to tell you she loves you at least 5 times everyday, it's basically a part of her schedule.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ If you can style hair, she'd probably ask you to make her bunny ears if possible. It's all mostly just an excuse to get you to show off your talents!

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Cutie patootie jumpscare but she definitely has little doodles of you and her in her notes for class. Just little chibis resembling you guys with a heart in between in the corner of the page! ^^

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ Kisses on the cheek are her absolute favorite thing. She loves kissing you or being kissed by you on the cheek, it's just a weirdly comforting feeling.

⋆ ˚🪻 ⁀➴ ꒰ She doesn't like PDA at school. She feels weird about it and doesn't want to risk possibly getting caught and embarrassed buy a teacher. Don't get her wrong, it's not that she's embarrassed by you! She just doesn't want to get in trouble and she always reminds you that <3

omg

[Verse 1]

Dear Adonis

I'm sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest

It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive

I look at him and wish your grandpa woulda wore a condom

I'm sorry that you gotta grow up and then stand behind him

Life is hard, I know, the challenge is always gon' beat us home

Sometimes our parents make mistakes that affect us until we grown

And you're a good kid that need good leadership

Let me be your mentor since your daddy don't teach you shit

Never let a man piss on your leg, son

Either you die right there or pop that man in the head, son

Never fall in the escort business, that's bad religion

Please remember, you could be a bitch even if you got bitches

Never code-switch, whether right or wrong, you a Black man

Even if it don't benefit your goals, do some push-ups, get some discipline

Don't cut them corners like your daddy did, fuck what Ozempic did

Don't pay to play with them Brazilians, get a gym membership

Understand, no throwin' rocks and hidin' hands, that's law

Don't be ashamed 'bout who you wit', that's how he treat your moms

Don't have a kid to hide a kid to hide again, be sure

Five percent will comprehend, but ninety-five is lost

Be proud of who you are, your strength come from within

Lotta superstars that's real, but your daddy ain't one of them

And you nothing like him, you'll carry yourself as king

Can't understand me right now? Just play this when you eighteen

[Verse 2]

Dear Sandra

Your son got some habits, I hope you don't undermine them

Especially with all the girls that's hurt inside this climate

You a woman, so you know how it feels to be in alignment

With emotion, hopin' a man can see you and not be blinded

Dear Dennis, you gave birth to a master manipulator

Even usin' you to prove who he is is a huge favor

I think you should ask for more paper, and more paper

And more, uh, more paper

I'm blamin' you for all his gamblin' addictions

Psychopath intuition, the man that like to play victim

You raised a horrible fuckin' person, the nerve of you, Dennis

Sandra, sit down, what I'm about to say is heavy, now listen

Mm-mm, your son's a sick man with sick thoughts, I think niggas like him should die

Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest they life

He hates Black women, hypersexualizes 'em with kinks of a nympho fetish

Grew facial hair because he understood bein' a beard just fit him better

He got sex offenders on ho-VO that he keep on a monthly allowance

A child should never be compromised and he keepin' his child around them

And we gotta raise our daughters knowin' there's predators like him lurkin'

Fuck a rap battle, he should die so all of these women can live with a purpose

I been in this industry twelve years, I'ma tell y'all one lil' secret

It's some weird shit goin' on and some of these artists be here to police it

They be streamlinin' victims all inside of they home and callin' 'em Tinder

Then leak videos of themselves to further push their agendas

To any woman that be playin' his music, know that you're playin' your sister

Or better, you're sellin' your niece, to the weirdos, not the good ones

Katt Williams said, "Get you the truth," so I'ma get mines

The Embassy 'bout to get raided, too, it's only a matter of time

Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away, hey, Curry, keep the family away

To anybody that embody the love for they kids, keep the family away

They lookin' at you too if you standin' by him, keep the family away

I'm lookin' to shoot through any pervert that lives, keep the family safe

[Verse 3]

Dear baby girl

I'm sorry that your father not active inside your world

He don't commit to much but his music, yeah, that's for sure

He a narcissist, misogynist, livin' inside his songs

Try destroy families rather than takin' care of his own

Should be teachin' you time tables or watchin' Frozen with you

Or at your eleventh birthday, singin' poems with you

Instead, he be in Turks, payin' for sex and poppin' Percs, examples that you don't deserve

I wanna tell you that you're loved, you're brave, you're kind

You got a gift to change the world, and could change your father's mind

'Cause our children is the future, but he lives inside confusion

Money's always been illusion, but that's the life he's used to

His father prolly didn't claim him neither

History do repeats itself, sometimes it don't need a reason

But I would like to say it's not your fault that he's hidin' another child

Give him grace, this the reason I made Mr. Morale

So our babies like you can cope later

Give you some confidence to go through somethin', it's hope later

I never wanna hear you chase a man 'cause his failed behavior

Sittin' in the club with sugar daddies for validation

You need to know that love is eternity and trumps all pain

I'll tell you who your father is, just play this song when it rains

Yes, he's a hitmaker, songwriter, superstar, right

And a fuckin' deadbeat that should never say "more life"

Meet the Grahams

[Verse 4]

Dear Aubrey

I know you probably thinkin' I wanted to crash your party

But truthfully, I don't have a hatin' bone in my body

This supposed to be a good exhibition within the game

But you fucked up the moment you called out my family's name

Why you had to stoop so low to discredit some decent people?

Guess integrity is lost when the metaphors doesn't reach you

And I like to understand 'cause your house was never a home

Thirty-seven, but you showin' up as a seven-year-old

You got gamblin' problems, drinkin' problems, pill-poppin' and spendin' problems

Bad with money, whorehouse

Solicitin' women problems, therapy's a lovely start

But I suggest some ayahuasca, strip the ego from the bottom

I try to empathize with you 'cause I know that you ain't been through nothin'

Crave entitlement, but wanna be liked so bad that it's puzzlin'

No dominance, let's recap moments when you didn't fit in

No secret handshakes with your friend

No cultural cachet to binge, just disrespectin' your mother

Identity's on the fence, don't know which family will love ya

The skin that you livin' in is compromised in personas

Can't channel your masculine even when standin' next to a woman

You a body shamer, you gon' hide them baby mamas, ain't ya?

You embarrassed of 'em, that's not right, that ain't how mama raised us

Take that mask off, I wanna see what's under them achievements

Why believe you? You never gave us nothin' to believe in

'Cause you lied about religious views, you lied about your surgery

You lied about your accent and your past tense, all is perjury

You lied about your ghostwriters, you lied about your crew members

They all pussy, you lied on 'em, I know they all got you in 'em

You lied about your son, you lied about your daughter, huh

You lied about them other kids that's out there hopin' that you come

You lied about the only artist that can offer you some help

Fuck a rap battle, this a long life battle with yourself

Yeah Drake is done ATP just hang it up dude you’re better off doing mainstream pop rap or something

[heretherebedork]

Ok, thinking about the wild BL robot cinematic universe ™️….

For the sake of fun (doesn’t have to be feasible or realistic), what types of EVER models would you like to see a spinoff of. For example, what about a professor EVER? A policeman? The possibilities are endless 🤣

Sidebar- As hilarious as Eternal Butler is, I’m actually loving the connection between 4 and 9. I’ve always been drawn to stories that question AI and sentience (I am an anthropologist)

Best 💜

I would really love, and I do admit this, but to see a specifically sex bot fall in love. I would love to see the complexities that go into buying something specifically for pleasure and nothing more and developing so much more and fighting against it because you never wanted that but still finding it anyway.

I would also really like a true nurse one, not Ever 9 taking care of a minor issue but one that worked in a hospital and loved a doctor or something like that, an android designed specifically to help with long surgeries or something similar.

I would also deeply love an android that was much more rebellious, maybe one sent to someone specifically to try to get them to stop rebelling without erasing them because they want to keep them intact for some reason and that would be amazing and fun.

Or, because I'm me, I'd love an android designed to care for child falling in love with a single dad. Give me HIStory 2 but with an android! Or something like that, a loving dad who just needs an extra hand after losing his wife and ends up falling in love with the android he buys for that purpose. Or, heck, a neglectful rich dad who learns to love his son and his android nanny, like Mary Poppins but gay and romantic.

I do also think that all the androids need to be friends. Their friendship is fantastic and so meaningful because it really is a study into the idea of sentience and being friends with each other adds to that. Love it.

[broareweabouttoviberightnow]

txt makes music that gay people (using as an umbrella term) (myself included) love, so I'm gonna list all the times I can remember their music and music videos being queer-coded off the top of my head.

disclaimer: this is not me assuming anyone's sexualities!! when discussing music videos and using member names, I am referring to the characters they play in the video and not the members themselves.

the 0x1=lovesong music video. holy shit. show this to a queer closeted teenager and they will go absolutely feral. I saw a twitter thread once (when Twitter wasn't locked to people without accounts) about all the queer-coding and it made me lose my mind. I don't have access to Twitter anymore, but from what I can remember, there were a lot of references to Leslie Cheung films. The one example I can remember is the scene for the bridge where Yeonjun dances in front of the other members. also the lyrics??? "I'm not going to get into heaven" oh my god. also again with the bridge, literally everything about the pair dance (and then saying 'girl' as if that would somehow make it seem less gay lmao).

2. the loser = lover mv. Literally everything about Beomgyu's storyline. Gender non-conforming teenager and the only member without a (moa self-insert) girlfriend (but with daddy issues lmao). Also "with you even a fall is beautiful" what if I Cried.

3. poppin star. granted, this is more of a meme than anything else, but if you've ever seen the "txt songs gay as hell so they've got to add a little gendered term to spice things up, because why are the lyrics like "we must keep this a secret our love is illegal in 56 countries- GIRL" tweet, this song is what the tweet was referencing. literally one of the lyrics is "isn't this perhaps something that the country has allowed/something that we have hidden/alright, it's something that's not allowed for just anyone/try popping a whole mouthful" like WHAT? I still have no idea what that means.

4. devil by the window. uhhhhh they're getting tempted by a devil with male pronouns. really the whole temptation album is kind of gay if you look at it through this lens.

5. sugar rush ride. I don't even have any specific examples tbh. everything about the lyrics.

6. crown. a song about feeling like a monster, but meeting someone who's the same as you and learning to accept yourself. shout out to the lyrics "would there be forgiveness?/even for the devils?" and "nobody can understand/but it's you/your life changed my world like magic"

this is all I remember for now, but I'll edit this post or make a new post if I remember more. feel free to add your own in the replies or reblogs!
