You like spaghetti, George? I like spaghetti. I like board games. I like grabbing a trifecta with that long shot on top... that ozone smell you get from air purifiers... and I like knowing the space between my ears is immeasurable... Mahler's first, Bernstein conducting. You've got to think about all the things you like and decide whether they're worth sticking around for. And if they are, you'll find a way to do this. And what if I don't? Then you go away, and you don't get to like anything anymore.

I’m V aimmyarrowshigh, she/her/hers, 37. The fandoms I currently post the most about are the MCU (especially Captain America and Wanda) and Star Wars, but I post extremely varied content – I do tag everything, so your blacklist should work with the basic name(s) of whatever you don’t want to see. You’re probably here for…
If you’re not here for drabbles, you may be looking for my graphics tag, my askbox, or my fanfiction tag. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, send me an ask and I’ll point you at the thing if I can. :)
Im not keeping great track of the schedule/tide wave of the first four rounds so I randomly have the panicky fear that Eartha Kitt is Not Doing Well and have to scramble thru the tags to find her poll and reassure myself that I voted.
She’s doing just fine but that does nothing to alleviate my concerns.
Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, Ziegfeld Girl)—Look. I’m sure someone has already submitted Hedy Lamarr because she was spectacularly beautiful, and a very strong lady too: she fled both an abusive marriage AND nazi persecution at a very young age and rebuilt a life for herself pursuing her love for acting all on her own!! Her career as an actress was stellar; while she began acting outside of Hollywood (her very first movie, Ecstasy, won a prize at the Venice Film Festival), she conquered American hearts very quickly with her first movie in the US, Algiers, and then just kept getting better and better. If all this isn’t enough, she was also an inventor: her invention of the frequency-hopping spread spectrum radio transmission technique forms the base of bluetooth and has a lot of applications in all kinds of communication technologies. I think that deserves a prize, don’t you?
Grace Kelly (Rear Window, High Society, Dial M for Murder)—The literal princess of Hollywood (she retired at 26 to become princess of Monaco), her name said everything about why she was so hot. She carried herself with a grace and elegance you just don’t see anymore. Her voice was sultry without being overbearing, and she had the ability to be sweet but suggest a deep sensuality at all times.
This is round 5 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.
we can finally take the chance to hang-out, just the two of us.

Cindy is standing behind Felicia and resting a hand on her shoulder as she holds her mic in her other hand. Felicia’s face is turned towards Cindy as she smiles with closed eyes and holds her mic with two hands. There are various white and pink sparkles and circles over the background, /end id]
I was tagged by @elismor! I’m going to do six, because I have been VAGUELY noodling with an old WIP that I’m projecting to finish in approximately 2047, but. Still. Noodling. Anyway, these are in order of when I’m hoping to get to them…
Short disabled guy does math to find a feral torture victim.
History’s deadliest child assassin and daughter of Manhattan’s worst Karen see the world’s largest ball of twine.
Local witch deals with trauma by fucking superheroes. It’s healthy for everyone.
Remember your favorite secondary characters from that movie where rich people’s hubris is defeated by an ice cube?
Four insanely geriatric queers and a Millennial finally die. Ted Danson is there.
Energy that permeates the Galaxy won’t fucking leave grieving, widowed flyboy alone.

My favorite of these is the tennis one, because in context “cringe” MUST mean “cringe with envy,” but it’s so much more obnoxiously fun to imagine the narrator celebrating all the other looks but randomly throwing in “Oh and by the way don’t wear this to tennis, you’ll only embarrass yourself”
did I ever tell yall I used to think charlie chaplin was a drag king. for like three years straight
we watched modern times in seventh grade n I saw this shot n just took it face value that he was a twinky butch. for three years
I only found out he wasn’t because in tenth grade the topic of old hollywood leading ladies came up w my friends n I went “I think it’s so cool how charlie chaplin did all those drag roles. she was cute too haha” n they all looked at me like I’d said something just truly fucking insane. which for the record I had
no the butch you want is Dorothy Arzner, one of the only women directors from the silent era to continue directing after the transition to sound
she directed a multitude of films about atypical domestic relationships and has two entries in the criterion collection. you should absolutely read about her life, because wow. fascinating figure
