Sexy Puppet Tournament Round 1 SKEKSIS vs TONY THE TALKING CLOCK
Skeksis (entire species, The Dark Crystal)
Gluttonous, nasty, cruel, the Skeksis represent all the worst impulses of humanity. Their spindly, reptilian forms hide surprising power and capability, and an odd sort of beauty lurks in their haunting features. A monster-fucker's dream? Or are they far too ugly to have a chance?

Tony the Talking Clock (Don't Hug Me I'm Scared)
Tony seems to be a perfect archetype of a Tumblr sexyman, and is in fact one of the originals: villainous, theatrical, put-together, with limbs like overcooked noodles. He inspired hundreds of humanizations and a plethora of ship art, a shockingly low percentage of which involved moustaches. Well, it's 2024, and staches are back in fashion. Can Tony return to his former sexy glory?

Propaganda
Maylia Fong (Singapore, To the Ends of the Earth)—I’m so so so into her brand of old Hollywood glamor Idk where even to Begin to describe ittttt
Elsa Lanchester (The Bride of Frankenstein, Bell Book & Candle)—we love cleft chin rep for women! gorgeous but in a way that made her stand out, and she should have been a leading lady much more than she ended up being. her turn in bride of frankenstein is iconic
This is round 2 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Maylia Fong:
Tumblr media
Elsa Lanchester:
Tumblr media
The ultimate vintage weird girl crush!! Her performance in Bride of Frankenstein is captivating and iconic and mostly done with eyes (although she doubles as Mary Shelley at the start, which is also very sexy of her). Also she’s in a film where she tries to assassinate Hitler (it’s not great but she’s great in it, and that’s frankly iconic). Also the first few sentences of the ‘early life’ section of her Wikipedia are fascinating: Her parents were bohemian socialists who rejected traditional Edwardian marriage, and her brother owned a puppet company. Coming from that of course she was gonna be an icon.

“I found it rather glamorous to be a bastard.” -Elsa Lanchester
She is just so pretty??? Her eyes and face structure is both very beautiful, but also lends to her expressions
Tumblr media

Controversial Character Tournament Round 2: Elias Bouchard / Jonah Magnus from The Magnus Archives vs France from Hetalia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(remember that these characters are fictional and your fellow tumblr users are real. i will block you if you harass others in the notes, please consider sending your unhinged harassment to my inbox instead)
Propaganda under the cut, may contain spoilers:
Elias Bouchard / Jonah Magnus:
HATE: - "i hate him so much with a burning passion he's the worst but people thirst over him so idk" - "Bitchass crustyfuckin manager lookin Victorian bastard man" - "bastard." - "WHY do people keep insisting that Elias is sexy??? He's not sexy. He's creepy. He's not even creepy in a sexy way. He's not a suave queer-coded Disney villain, he's a power-tripping Reddit mod who THINKS he's a mastermind but really just loves bullying the weak. He's a middle manager who, faced with his own ultimate lack of control, comforts himself by making his employees' lives hell and going "At least I'm not as pathetic as THEM." His plan ONLY worked because he was being used, like a really shitty puppet, by evil forces much smarter and more powerful than himself. Because the truth is, he's powerless, even as an Avatar; he has no way to defend himself against real threats and has to weasel his way out with blackmail and lies and contracts, because even Beholding doesn't really like him. There is nothing sexy about Elias Bouchard." - "He's the wooooorst. Asshole manipulative boss arranges for his employee to get kidnapped multiple times to bring about the end of the world. Also he's smarmy and that's the biggest dealbreaker tbh" BOTH: - "He's an asshole. This is an immortal (ish) man who's over 200 years old, has Dread Powers that feed on Fear, and decided that he REALLY wanted to bring about the end of the world, so he went ahead and started a institute just to gather power and more information on the Dread Powers of Fear... but then he thought "well, I think I can't do this without dying, so I'll make someone ELSE become my linchpin, that's nice" and so proceeded to hire someone with no knowledge of the Dread Powers, made sure 14 different Dread Powers would almost kill him, and then when he was satisfied, controlled him into starting the end of the world. He's SUCH an asshole, however, that he was also incredibly possessive and caring about his linchpin. Sure, he was trying to get him half-killed, and played with him the entire time, but he also made sure he didn't DIE-die, and always made sure he had enough Fear to eat. And that he would have A Lot Of Power in the end of the world itself! He doesn't want his acolyte to DIE after all! He wants him to enjoy his new Powers!"
France:
LOVE: - "Were you there when the deep magic was written? Were you in the Hetalia trenches of the 2010s? His impact was undeniable. A brooding romantic or the villain in your fanfic, the king of controversy himself, Francis Bonnefoy."

Welcome to the Eurovision Song Bracket!
This will be a fairly large bracket, consisting of two "teams" of 68 songs for a total of 136 competitors!
The first team has been preselected, and will consist of all previous winners or popular vote winners if applicable.
This means that if your favorite song won, you do not need to submit them (a couple of exceptions apply, see list at the bottom/read more for details)
Submissions are closed!
Rules!
- Entries must have been a part of the main competition of Eurovision of any year (I might do a MGP mini bracket if the people want that)
- Once again, you do not need to submit winners, they are (mostly) automatically in. Again, see bottom for details and explanations.
- You may submit multiple songs, but please don't send the same song over and over.
- Propaganda is highly encouraged! There is a spot for it in the submission form, and adding it on to the poll itself or sending an ask is also allowed. You may send a DM, but I'll probably be slow to respond that way.
How it Works!
- There will be multiple brackets of 34 songs
- Each of the preselected winners will be randomly against one of the submitted songs. Pairings will be decided through number assignment and a random number generator.
- Vote for your favorite! I will include links to the songs in the poll so you can listen to both before voting. The winner will move onto the next round until we find the winner of that bracket.
- Once all brackets are complete, the winners of their individual brackets will go onto the finals to determine the (unofficial) Ultimate Eurovision Song Winner!
- There will be a preliminary around, as 1969 (hehe nice) had a four way tie, so we will need to determine which of those four will represent that year!
Tagging some other brackets to get the word out
@animalcrossingshowdown @ultimate-soup-showdown @least-sexy-man-competition @soulmatebracket @irlcats-bracket @little-cat-showdown @bestvegetablepoll @baby-brawl-bracket @died-but-not-dead-tournament @unusannusbracket
Click the read more for the list of songs that are automatically in the bracket!

Are you okay and confortable with writing for Baelor Breakspear? I read the Hedge Knight comic yesterday and OMG Baelor is so 😩😩😩😩😩 and he is sitting like he knows he is fine 😭
Sun dragon prince of goodness and duty
Tumblr media
Baelor Targaryen (son of Daeron the II) x fem!reader
warning : kissing, injury/comfort, mention of brutality during a tournament, alcohol
Summary : The heir to the throne of the realm finds himself at a tournament at Ashford Meadow not only to set things right and fulfill his duty, but also to reunite with a certain innkeeper and puppeteer whose paths had crossed on a few occasions for reasons of devotion and duty.
info : Ahhh i am so happy about the request dear anon ( not only more for the Targaryen Tuesday) also so happy and yes Baelor is one of the few really sincerely good ,,sexy" knights and men in asoiaf. So have fun here and all the others as well ;)
masterlist
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The year two hundred and nine after Aeon's conquest, a year in which the empire once seemed peaceful. Peaceful for King Daeron the Second and his heir to the throne, his first son Baelor, named after his great grandfather's cousin.
Even if he had nothing in common with him, except perhaps the name and his goodness, they were all the more different in appearance. The blood of the dragon mingled with the sun and the strong spear of Dorne. A sun dragon.
A prince with the blood of two strong houses, former enemies and yet there were always whispers of enemies. A Targaryen without Targaryen appearances could ever be an heir to the throne.
There were always whispers but the realm loved its heir a man of middle age handsome to the ladies of the realm, a man of honor to the lords, kind to those who needed help and the common people and with duties and honors he took seriously.
Like the dragon himself, he was dangerous to those who threatened his family but gentle to his friends and his people. But in this year after the conquest a tournament of the house Ashford took place a tournament to celebrate not only the birthday the thirteenth name day of the daughter of Lord Ashford and also to crown the queen of love and beauty.
The tournament was attended by candidates from other high and lesser houses as well as the princes of the realm. In black armor, dragons resembled mementos of their house symbol and the creatures they had once mounted to make the skies theirs. But the highborn princes Targaryen came riding into the tournament on horseback.
The dark eyes of the Targaryen, only a few years older, lay with joy on the people as they arrived, raising his hand to wave to his friends, the Houses and the people. ,,Everyone seems to be looking forward to the games," he said to his companions.
His lord and house heir friends who rode behind him agreed, friends from childhood and tournament participants with whom he had shared wine and bread.
,,Wretched only here for the bread," he heard the murmur of his nephew, his brother's son, and unfortunately also the bad one of this Targaryen whose coin seemed to choose madness.
The madness was slowly spreading and he had already tried several times to show him the right way but his nephew well he was a different dragon he was a Targaryen with light hair and deep violet eyes a being not of this world.
He rode a little closer to his relative and said in a calm voice, ,,Surely the high-born ladies are looking at you in awe of your stately armor, nephew," and looked a little surprised at first before seeing the satisfied grin and the prince rode ahead a little faster with his hand raised in greeting.
Another simple problem solved, however much the coin fell Baelor could make it spin a little further. But even though he enjoyed taking part in tournaments, enjoying the festivities and drinking and eating with his new and old friends, there was one thing in particular that he would visit during the tournament.
Of course after he had taken care of Lord Ashford and presented his daughter with a jewel of the crown, ,,Such bright eyes need a stone to match them my lady" said the heir to the throne and knelt down around the smaller girl who had red cheeks and a grin on her lips.
Everyone wished to be her, each of the women and maybe even a few other noble men. Baelor gently took the girl's hand and slowly put the necklace on her before he gave a consolation to the king in the name of his father and everyone joined in, even the two pairs of eyes standing far behind…the prince would come to them sooner or later.
,,Forgive me my lord and lady, I would like to take care of the people, they also have plans that I am happy to follow" the prince apologized and left the table of the elder, his dark eyes already fixed on the two stands on his way across the large grassy and sandy earthy square.
He watched the tall woman with the black hair as she skillfully made the little wooden knight move with her fingers while her partner steered the flying red kite above the doll. Still so talented he thought and a smirk came to his lips as he saw her brief reciprocating look of love and then her nod towards the tent next to the puppet theater.
Thanking her with a coin that landed lightly in the bowl, he went into the larger tent next to it, an open tavern with fresh bread, roast meat, soup and some fish from the river.
As he sat down at one of the tables, the greetings from those around him were not yet too warm, most of them were already waiting in the stands, but some wanted something to eat. ,,Have a wonderful day, my Prince Baelor… I hope the roast tasted good?" he heard a voice and from behind a flap she emerged, the traveling companion and friend of Tanselle, a woman as young as the puppeteer, her eyes captivating him, a body he had often loved and her lovely fingers playing with the light strands in his hair.
,,You too my hostess I will pay you again and again for such a good piece of meat you must make more…you could come to the royal kitchen?" he suggested with a grin when he saw her feigned excitement and joy, ,,Oh indeed my lord!" she exclaimed happily before she came closer to him and sat down at the table and they exchanged glances.
She could lose herself in his handsome eyes over and over again. Even if he didn't look like a Targaryen, he was the best dragon there ever was. Before they got closer there was a brief hesitation to see if anyone was there but the rest was gone, his rough big hands on her neck pulling her closer to him and her delicate hands holding onto him before they lost themselves in a kiss.
The smell of leather, sword and fire always surrounded the prince while he found the exotic spices and various ingredients on her, a sign of their travels.
Journeys on which she had sailed and ridden across Westeros and Essos with her partner. She always came back with new recipes and little things to share and Baelor loved to listen, finding it engaging and completely enchanting how devoted she was to her cause.
The little emotions in her eyes always watching her hands telling the stories and her sweet voice trying to echo the sounds and voices was absolutely incredible to him. ,,My heart belongs to you for this," he murmured as he detached himself and stroked the small book on her belt in which she recorded new ideas and thoughts - thoughts that had already made the prince blush like a virgin several times.
Words of the heir to the throne that made her blush and let her fingers wander absently through his dark hair with the overlooked white strands here and there. ,,For your good heart I am yours Baelor…besides, Tanselle senses when someone is as good as you and she stands up for that too," she replied and continued to play with the prince's crisp dark hair while his deep eyes lay on her, his heart beating calmly in tune with her breathing.
Despite the world out there beyond the tent, the tournament, the brutality, fighting and death, whenever they were together he seemed to be not only dutiful but also completely devoted to someone other than the throne and his father.
But as much as she loved him, she had always loved him after he had saved her from Aerion, who had disagreed with the food and the dolls' entertainment, his blow had knocked her to the ground, the armor had made her cheek bleed, and Tanselle had found one of her dolls broken.
Baelor had slapped his nephew back and stood up for her, replacing the doll for Tanselle and paying for it. But his kindness was for the woman in front of him, his fingers running over the small scar on her cheek, her head in his hand and the contented sound.
He was always gentle with her, even when he had brought her to his tent, cleaned her cheek with a damp cloth and personally applied the healing tincture. Her stammering words had ended with a kiss and it was no different now. It was a bittersweet reunion of a sun dragon and a traveling lady who always found each other with their hearts in their hands.
,,If only it could always be tournaments like this and you here without injury," she murmured as the noise outside increased and Lord Ashford's speech of thanks was probably delivered.
A sentence that made him laugh sadly and yet he slowly rose with a sigh, his arms wrapped around her soft body and he held her close in an intimate embrace as he kissed the top of her head, ,,Don't worry my love I haven't lost a tournament I won't lose anything today I'll be back with you soon" he said his hand caressing her cheek one last time and the look of uselessness disappeared from her eyes with a slow nod.
,,And I will wait as always my Prince Baelor" she curtsied and waved to him as he walked out of the tent not knowing that in this year two hundred and nine after Aegon's conquest their love would be put to a test greater and harder than any tournament they had ever been to.

[Image Description: Three characters resembling younger feminine versions of three different characters deemed “Tumblr Sexymen”, from left to right based on Dr. Habit from Smile For Me, Ingo from Pokemon Black and White/Pokemon Legends Arceus, and Troupe Master Grimm from Hollow Knight.
The first character is a teenage girl loosely resembling Dr. Habit from Smile For Me. She has green skin, long curly red hair in a ponytail, and red eyes with orange sclera. She is wearing a blue coat with turquoise accents and a pink flowery collar, a turquoise belt with a silver buckle, a small dark blue hat, a yellow lily flower in her hair, dark blue tights, and blue high-heeled boots with turquoise accents. She is smiling, revealing a missing tooth. The text on the image is transcribed as a bulleted list after the “keep reading” break, along with a paragraph that is not featured in the image.
The second character is a teenage girl loosely resembling Ingo from both Pokemon Black and White and Pokemon Legends Arceus. She has light skin, short silver hair, and silver eyes. She is wearing a lavender sweater with the circular Pearl Clan insignia on the front, a grey conductor’s hat with a blue and white circular logo on the front, a grey jacket with brown stripes and silver accents resembling train tracks, a brown skirt with silver accents to match the train track design elements of the jacket, lavender leggings, lavender socks, and brown shoes with silver soles. Beside her is a Litwick, a small candle-like ghost Pokemon. It has a white waxy body, a blue flame on top of its head, and green eyes partially hidden by dripping wax resembling “emo” bangs. The text on the image is transcribed as a bulleted list after the “keep reading” break, along with a paragraph that is not featured in the image.
The third character is a teenager resembling a humanoid version of the Grimmchild from Hollow Knight. They have pale grey skin, long red nails, light red eyes with black sclera, and short black hair styled to resemble horns. They are wearing a red sleeveless puffy jacket-style top, a short black cape, a black ribbon accessory that trails down their back, black shorts with black leggings, and black slip-on shoes. On the collar of their cape is a pin resembling the final state of the Grimmchild charm. The text on the image is transcribed as a bulleted list after the “keep reading” break, along with a paragraph that is not featured in the image.

okay guys i caved and joined in the sexyman descendants trend despite having never payed attention to the sexyman trend overall, i literally only know that two of the guys these kids are based on were on the poll and grimm has a sexypedia page that i only checked to confirm its mere existence and that + “fashion doll line” was all i was working on, yes i know other people have at least done kids based on habit and grimm but in my defense this has been sitting in my drafts for a while okay i was nervous and also too lazy to write up the text under the readmore for the longest time leave me alone /j
Lilya Habit (she/her), daughter of Dr. Boris Habit
always trying to make people smile
loves flowers and puppets, has a lookalike one called “Miss Habby”
has a passing interest in dentistry from other dad
big sis to Putunia
lost tooth in a model train incident
Of course I had to do one based on the teeth man, even if he apparently didn’t do nearly as well in the tournament as he did in last year’s and losing to someone who shouldn’t be considered a sexy-man at that, Nagito is a minor so if he has to be included it should be as a sexy-boy for the teens to latch onto, but I digress hehe. I realize I coulda gone with a Carla for this, but the joke is kinda to make these kids resemble their sexyman dads, so she’s Lilya instead! Even with a biological daughter in this weird universe I figured Boris and Kamal would still adopt Putunia, and she is the best big sister to the little hero, even if it leads to some punched shins sometimes. ...man, I realized I missed a fun opportunity there in not also drawing Miss Habby XD
Stacey Anville (she/her), daughter of Subway Boss/Warden Ingo
always seems bored
not nearly as loud as her dad and uncle
loves trains just as much tho
loves battling too
feels bad for Lilya’s tooth despite it being an accident
shiny Litwick was bred from Ingo’s Chandelure
Ingo wears black, Emmet wears white, so of course I’d go for grey for Ingo’s kid. Originally I was gonna name her “Donna” as in “downline”, but then I figured “Stacey” would be a better neutral-ish train pun hehe. And of course “Anville” comes from Anville Town, idk what sort of pun that is but iirc that’s one of the places connected to the trains hehe. As for her design, I wanted the outfit to combine both of Ingo’s “homes” so to speak, his original home of Unova and his new home of Hisui. And, of course, the daughter of one of the strongest trainers in both Unova and Hisui is going to have Pokemon of her own, hence the Litwick! I mostly picked Litwick because I like Chandelure most out of Ingo’s team, and because it could cause some silly shenanigans with the third descendent I’m sharing.
Nikki Grimm (they/them), child of Troupe Master Grimm
troublemaker
loves scaring people
sometimes can’t tell when they might be going overboard
tried to eat the flame on Stacey’s Litwick once
very acrobatic
caused Lilya’s “train incident” by sneaking up on Stacey at a bad moment
will hiss at people they don’t like
If you were thinking that this was basically just the Grimmchild (even without reading that image description up there), you’d be right! I figured if anyone was gonna make one of these based on Grimm, that’d be the best direction to go in since he already has a kid of sorts. The fandom generally refers to the Grimmchild as they/them or it/its, right? Someone please, correct me if I’m wrong, I haven’t been able to access the meat of the Grimm Troupe dlc yet in my own playthrough due to not having knowing I didn’t have to have the dream nail powered up enough quite yet. I mean, I might, but I haven’t gone back to the Resting Grounds since I got more essence in order to check. (see if you can guess why I named them “Nikki”, you guys are smart so you’ve got a real good shot at piecing my punnage together ;3 )
Soooo...yeah, that’s my offering to this nonsense, idk if it’s even still a Thing but whatever, sometimes an idea grabs you and you take forever to share the results. If I were drawing these three normally and not with the “fashion doll line” idea in mind, they’d prolly have more varied body shapes. I know Lilya would be much taller than the other two and Nikki prolly wouldn’t have anything resembling boob curvature, but I copy-pasted the body structure and posing to give this thing the exact amount of effort it deserved /j

Bloodsport (1988)
Tumblr media
I’ve been trying to give Jean-Claude Van Damme a chance but other than 1994's Street Fighter I've found none of his films entertaining. Even then, the video game-based movie is fun for all the wrong reasons. Only fans of the Belgian martial artist might enjoy 1988’s Bloodsport. They'll be able to convince themselves that this poorly acted, not particularly well choreographed and ambition-free martial arts film riddled with clichés provides any form of entertainment.
U.S. Army Captain Frank Dux (pronounced “Dukes”, played by Van Damme) decides to honor his mentor by participating in an illegal, underground martial arts tournament called “Kumite”. While avoiding American police officers (played by Forest Whitaker and Norman Burton) who want to return him to the States for a court-martial, he befriends fellow American competitor Ray Jackson (Donald Gibb) and a sexy reporter named Janice Kent (Leah Ayres). Things get serious when he meets the current Kumite champion, Chong Li (Bolo Yeung).
For the first 30 minutes, Bloodsport is one of the most unintentionally funny action films I’ve ever seen. Do you think Jean-Claude Van Damme is wooden? You haven’t seen anything yet. Everyone in this film is terrible. I'm saying laugh-out-loud awful. Then we get a flashback to Dux as a child and it blows your mind. I know the actor playing this part is young but he emotes like a wooden puppet who received his lines five minutes ago. All in a thick accent so bad you can’t believe director Newt Arnold isn't expecting you to laugh. This first half-hour also has a built-in drinking game. Take a drink every time you hear "Kumite", take two every time JCVD mispronounces it. You'll have a great time.
Copious amount of alcohol is what you'll need to get through the rest of the first. After the half-hour mark, Bloodsport becomes horrible, dreadful, dismal, apocalyptic. Boring! None of the characters have any personality. You can tell the bad guy is evil because he gives his vicious beatings with a smile. You know Frank Dux and Janice Kent are falling for each other because whenever she’s on-screen, so is he. The fighters are given quirks to make them distinct from each other but it’s only their physical appearance that makes them stand out. Once the Kumite begins, it’s mindless action as pairs clobber each other again and again. You don’t know who anyone is, and unless it’s Donald Gibb, Bolo Yeung, or Jean-Claude Van Damme on-screen, you don’t care either. Even in Gibb’s case, you know he stands no chance of winning. He’s just going to end up dramatically broken to “amp up” the stakes.
There’s no chemistry between the leads. The bad guy isn’t even fun to hate. The matches are slightly varied but they end up less enjoyable than the training montages. The romance is so atrocious you wish they would cut it out to give us anything else. How about some background on the big bad guy, or even the words “Kumite” repeated over and over to give us some laughs?
If you think the shortcoming are due to Bloodsport being "based on a true story", do a bit of research. Seems that Frank Dux’s exploits may be a little bit completely fabricated. The fights aren’t even that well choreographed, making Dux's veracity seem even more dubious. If you’re a fan of martial arts tournament films you won’t see anything new here. Unless you have a fetish for seeing JCVD do the splits, avoid Bloodsport at all costs. I was begging for the film to end so I could get off the couch and go to sleep. (On VHS, April 12, 2016)

My Femdom Harem in “Shinomas”
Tumblr media
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure someone (maybe? no?) has been curious what my life is like when I'm not here to blog about 2D femdom.
Well, wonder no more. It's time for me to discuss my secret relationship with a number of sexy and powerful teenage ninjas...
Sunshaded, Living the Dream
I currently live in a steel cage within a luxurious mansion with my wife-and-mistress Haruka-sama, two other mistresses Souji-sama and Ryoubi-sama, and their two maid-slaves Bashou and Ikaruga. Here's a photo I took of us when we went out for a stroll a few months back:
Tumblr media
The middle three from left to right are Ryoubi-sama, Haruka-sama, and Souji-sama. The one on the very left is Bashou, and the one on the very right is Ikaruga.
Out-Of-Character Note: This is a blog entry where I roleplay for fun based on the femdom fanservice in the mobile game "Shinobi Master: Senran Kagura: New Link" AKA "Shinomas". Click the jump for the rest of the entry and more pictures.
Haruka-sama and I started off as student and teacher. You see, young shinobi were recruited from a variety of factions to participate in a mysterious "Shinobi Master" tournament, and I was called in to instruct them (who knew I had this talent?? certainly not me). (OOC Note: This is the premise of Shinomas. The player is a self-insert with no face or lines, who the characters all call "sensei".)
Haruka-sama is actually totally fixated on another student called Hibari, so I never expected her to develop an interest in me. But hmm, maybe it's because she's a natural sadist and I'm inexplicably the only male in the whole school? She said "Won't everyone's lives go more smoothly if I capture you, sensei?" and used her chemical weapons to control my body, and quickly broke my will and treated me like her experimental subject and toy. Eventually, she mentioned that it'd be fun if I served her forever, and before I knew it, we were married. (OOC Note: That line I quoted is from the actual game.) Here's a photo she allowed me to take of her on the day she collared me:
Tumblr media
If you look closely, you'll notice that she has the same outfit on in the previous picture, too. What happened is that she liked this white bridal outfit so much that she ordered another more sturdy black version, which she wears often. Oh, and she altered her hair style.
Now let me talk about Haruka-sama's fellow dominatrixes Ryoubi-sama and Souji-sama. Unlike Haruka-sama who adopts a friendly demeanor but treats me as a human lab rat in the development of her chemical concoctions and puppets, those two have a more merciless and disciple-oriented style of domination. After they heard that I’d become Haruka-sama’s live-in slave/husband, they developed an interest in me too, and now the three of us all live in the same mansion. Souji-sama is a true artisan with her whip, and has a naturally authoritarian personality. Ryoubi-sama, on the other hand, is less skilled but more scary, since she has a real vicious streak that seems to stem from the frustration she has with her twin sister Ryouna. Every day is wonderfully exciting.
Here’s two more photos I took of Souji-sama and Ryoubi-sama respectively, which show off their majestically sexy auras:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bashou and Ikaruga were kidnapped by Souji-sama and Haruka-sama to work as constantly sexually harassed maids, but from the way they blush and moan, I'm actually pretty sure they enjoy the way they're treated... You may have noticed that in the earlier group photo with them, their maid uniforms were a bit torn up from a close encounter with Souji-sama's chain whip. Here's what they look like normally:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unlike the more timid Bashou who's accepted her place as a submissive maid-slave, Ikaruga still acts fairly defiant, with periodic escape attempts. Ikaruga is a zennin (a shinobi in the "good faction" that works under the government) while the other four are akunin (lawless shinobi) so she may feel a bit nervous around them?
And there you have it! Oh, before I conclude this report, let me share some more photos of my mistresses' sexy, badass, and cute poses:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Conclusion/Explanation
All of the pictures I’ve shown you (besides the first piece of Haruka femdom fan art) are screenshots I personally took of “Shinomas”. It’s an Android gacha game that's in Japanese (untranslated), which features characters from the famous Senran Kagura franchise. Personally, I played it with the aid of Nox emulator and QooApp (and my knowledge of Japanese).
As you can see, Shinomas features not only beautiful 2D art, but also animated 3D models for every character (and every outfit--which can be transferred to any other character, and repainted with 5 choices of colors). It also has voiced dialogue. The fanservice elements cover a variety of kinks, and femdom is just one of them.
As I actively collected cards in the game that featured femdom fanservice, and decorated my home screen with up to 5 of my designed favorite heroines, and dressed them freely, I found myself fantasizing a little about their relationship dynamic. And so, here you have this entry.
In any case, I wanted to show off how much femdom fanservice there is in Shinomas. There are even more dominatrix-themed cards (bakunyuusai Haruka, bakunyuusai Rin) that I didn't obtain. And of course, the Senran Kagura franchise itself has frequent femdom fanservice (check out this yuri BDSM scene between Haruka and Hibari). Haruka, Souji, and Ryoubi are all canonically sadists/dominant (although Ryoubi doesn’t feel quite like it, because she’s a tsundere who acts defensive about her small breasts) so my fantasies here aren’t as much of a reach as you’d imagine. There’s also an older Senran Kagura mobile game called “New Wave” that doesn’t have 3D models, but has kinky fanservice outfits that are even more revealing than what you’ll find in Shinomas, albeit not drawn as beautifully.
I had a lot more fun with Shinomas than I expected when I started, but I've mostly quit. Well, I do log in occasionally for “free roll” events, and I'm waiting for the next femdom fanservice card to appear, so I can use the "gacha rolls” I've accumulated to obtain it. That said, there are two points I'll mention before I recommend Shinomas to anyone. First, it lacks a lot of strategic depth to its combat, and no meaningful endgame (just "maximize your damage" and "collect more outfits that steadily come out") so it’s easy to run out of goals for yourself. Second, it's a gacha game, so it's founded upon microtransactions and gambling: consider yourself warned. If it still interests you, you can check out the QooApp page for more info.
Oh, and this post is informally dedicated to Harukaposter, a regular in the Senran Kagura General thread on 4chan’s /vg/ board who roleplays their devotion to "Mistress Haruka". Well, it's unlikely they'll ever see it! (And if they did, would they think I'm trying to NTR Haruka from them? You never know just how seriously a person like that takes their roleplay...)
Side Talk
Like I noticed in my last post, Tumblr has started forcing 500px width for all images, which is sad, because I’d like to be able to show this art in its best possible resolution.
Summer Comiket normally happens this time of year, but it was shifted backward to May because of the Tokyo Olympics, and then completely canceled because of the epidemic. It’s entirely likely winter Comiket will be canceled too. (I hope everyone has a vaccine before next summer’s postponed Tokyo Olympics...) Perhaps in part because of these shifts in society, it feels to me like femdom artists and creators are more active on the internet than ever.
I’ve been a bit disorganized lately. I haven’t taken the time to update my mainstream manga list, for example... or my links (I think I may add a Discord server section). doskoinpo just started a new Twitter account, and Escalation! just came out earlier today too.

For three years now I have dedicated myself to posting puppets on the Internet. And the ways people respond to some of these puppets fascinate me. They say things like “would”, “kind of a MILF”, “hear me out”, etc. They do not say these things about Miss Piggy, or Janice, or any other character with perfectly respectable sex appeal. They say them about the freakiest looking motherfuckers I can find.
I have collected the puppets which have garnered the highest number of these responses into the groundbreaking Sexy Puppet Mini-Tournament.
Tumblr media
(This is going to be a short, low-commitment tournament, so many puppets had to be left out, and propaganda will not be collected. Sorry!)

Propaganda
Elsa Lanchester (The Bride of Frankenstein, Bell Book & Candle)—we love cleft chin rep for women! gorgeous but in a way that made her stand out, and she should have been a leading lady much more than she ended up being. her turn in bride of frankenstein is iconic
Madge Evans (The Mayor of Hell, Lovers Courageous)— Because she's typically seen as "the nice girl" I think people tend to overlook her, but when I first saw her in The Mayor of Hell (1933) and thought she brought a lot of depth than that to her character. She plays a nurse who repeatedly stands up to the corrupt, bullying warden of a reform school. She's fierce, determined, and outspoken, even though she risks losing her job. While her character is essentially powerless to change things and turns to an outsider for aid, I could never think of her as weak or useless. Because really it's only because she's a woman that she doesn't get to be the hero of the piece (not for lack of trying, as it were).
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Elsa Lanchester:
Tumblr media
The ultimate vintage weird girl crush!! Her performance in Bride of Frankenstein is captivating and iconic and mostly done with eyes (although she doubles as Mary Shelley at the start, which is also very sexy of her). Also she’s in a film where she tries to assassinate Hitler (it’s not great but she’s great in it, and that’s frankly iconic). Also the first few sentences of the ‘early life’ section of her Wikipedia are fascinating: Her parents were bohemian socialists who rejected traditional Edwardian marriage, and her brother owned a puppet company. Coming from that of course she was gonna be an icon.
Tumblr media
“I found it rather glamorous to be a bastard.” -Elsa Lanchester
She is just so pretty??? Her eyes and face structure is both very beautiful, but also lends to her expressions
Tumblr media
she's always so delightful and funny in every role she turns up in <3 I love her in witness for the prosecution, I love her in the inspector general, i love her in bride of frankenstein! funny astute adept always! (and neil gaiman's personal hot woman crush)

It’s got a groove, it’s got a meaning…and it’s still a cultural phenomenon 40 years after its original release.  The iconic celebration of high school life in the 1950s, Grease is the way you’ll be feeling with a new 40th Anniversary Edition on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and Digital out now from Paramount Home Media Distribution.
Featuring an explosion of song and dance, as well as star-making performances from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, Grease made an indelible impact on popular culture.  40 years later, the film remains an enduring favorite as legions of new fans discover the memorable moments, sensational soundtrack and classic love story.  Boasting unforgettable songs including “Greased Lightnin,” “Look At Me, I’m Sandra Dee,” “Summer Nights,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Beauty School Drop Out” and, of course, “Grease,” the film is a timeless feel-good celebration.
WATCH:
youtube
Paramount worked with director Randal Kleiser to restore Grease to its original vibrancy with the highest quality sound, picture resolution and color.  The original negative was scanned and received extensive clean up and color correction using previously unavailable digital restoration tools such as high dynamic range technology.  In addition, the audio was enhanced from a six-track mix created for an original 70mm release, giving the music more clarity.  The resulting picture and sound create an exceptional home viewing experience.
The Grease 40th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs include the fully restored version of the film plus an all-new, in-depth exploration of the little-known origins of what would become a Broadway play and then a feature film and worldwide phenomenon.  “Grease: A Chicago Story” features new interviews with writer Jim Jacobs and original cast members of the Chicago show.  In addition, the discs include the original song the title sequence was animated to and an alternate ending salvaged from the original black & white 16mm work print discovered by director Randal Kleiser.

Paramount worked with director Randal Kleiser to restore Grease to its original vibrancy with the highest quality sound, picture resolution and color.  The original negative was scanned and received extensive clean up and color correction using previously unavailable digital restoration tools such as high dynamic range technology.  In addition, the audio was enhanced from a six-track mix created for an original 70mm release, giving the music more clarity.  The resulting picture and sound create an exceptional home viewing experience.
The Grease 40th Anniversary Edition 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray Combo Packs include the fully restored version of the film plus an all-new, in-depth exploration of the little-known origins of what would become a Broadway play and then a feature film and worldwide phenomenon.  “Grease: A Chicago Story” features new interviews with writer Jim Jacobs and original cast members of the Chicago show.  In addition, the discs include the original song the title sequence was animated to and an alternate ending salvaged from the original black & white 16mm work print discovered by director Randal Kleiser.
