JUSTICE FOR ACE !!!!! people are so mad on Twitter, I still remember how pissed off I was at the liminal space episode, it cemented completely that no one cares about ace and they literally did a redux only so much worse bc a day ago they were calling each other love of their lives and now she's making heart eyes all episode at this rando while not giving a rats ass about ace? It's just so weird. And lmfao I love that this fandom is very positive and close with the writers/cast but wow some people are really up their asses like this is not good writing, it wasn't good writing in s3 and it certainly isn't now, you can say that you don't have to act like these writers are perfect bc they're messing up big time, like you said they knew this was the final season even before the notice bc the cw was imploding? They could've focused on the curse or at this point just given us non romance things. I just really want to know why they are so obsessed with having her with every single man that breathes her way, especially with the timeline it gets even more absurd all this in a year??? That's psychotic, I honestly don't know how they could make it up unless there's some plot twist or something.
Yeah that has been one of my main issues with the show, I get the idea of wanting a sexually liberated free young woman and I’m not opposed to that at all but it’s the execution of it, which makes it less than desirable. Personally for me it cheapens what she says and does in relation to her romantic feeling because she can and will just get another love interest. And yeah no I love this show I do but the writing is not that great half the episodes are exposition dumps and nonsensical magical fixits and that can be fun but when you couple that with unnecessary romantic drama especially it can just feel like a lot and not in a good way. I would’ve loved for the season to have been a celebration of the series and characters giving Nancy a win in the sense that she finally gets to be in love something that she’s wanted for so long and for Ace to feel like he’s somebody’s first choice instead of the endless back and forth. And sure a nace endgame is almost all but guaranteed but if the journey to get there is sour will the destination feel sweet?

We never talked enough about how George in S4, was ready to punch Bess in her face whenever she is cheering/ supporting Nancy and Tristan.
And Nick, on the other side, was soo ready to smack Ace's a** whenever he doubted about his love for Nancy.
And also, How Bess, was Nace NON-SUPPORTER, never supported Ace when he needed her the most, and abandoned him. (best guess she was jealous that Nancy will take her place in Ace's life, so she decided to not support them but support her with a death marked beast named Tristan. 😐) What a great Platanchor she was to Ace in S4. 🙄🙄🙄😑

The song Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me) by The Temptations being chosen as the song Tristan and Nancy dance to in 4x06 is interesting because if you look at the lyrics it’s about believing in an idea that’s not really occurring, conjuring up images of what could be but not necessarily looking at what really is.
It brings up a few possibilities for why the song was chosen:
Ace looking on at a scene of Nancy and Tristan dancing and assuming what’s happening - but that’s not at all where Nancy’s heart lies
Nancy dancing with Tristan earlier at the prom and him divulging that story about why he likes to sail/fish - possibly clueing the audience that what he’s saying is false or contrived
Tristan, as a character in general, someone the audience should think twice about believing
The dismissal of what Nancy hears in the familiar sound of the car engine by Tristan as nothing when it’s actually the one thing she should be paying attention to
Anyways, just an interesting choice of song and some pondering thoughts I had about it…

i dont talk about nancy drew here a lot bc im a fan of the og books and most people on here are all about the later books/pc games (which is cool and valid!!! i’m not condescending just saying that’s why i dont talk about it as much on here) but as the op of the “nancy and helen are gfs” post that went viral a few years back (as it should), can i say. i really don’t like that the cw show specifically gave nancy a new (white) boyfriend to run around with the SECOND they made ned nickerson black

Nancy and Ace killing one of their love interests of color and erasing any trace of her prior existence together is actually the perfect encapsulation of the show and particularly their relationship as a whole

soooooo do we think any gaps in memory/reality start in episode 9 after nancy had her sin eaten? or might it be a retroactive thing where its impact is in earlier episodes and we just don't know??

Ryan was let off the hook for dating a literal minor a little to easy. We’ve just established it’s only been a year since in the Nancy Drew universe since Tiffany died. I think because his character acts childish a lot people tend to forget or act like that’s the same as being an actual child but it’s not. He’s a grown man that was dating a teenager. They talked about a little bit in the show but not enough time has passed for them to be cool with him like that. I get he’s Nancy Bio father. I fall into the category of forgetting a bit, because he’s scenes do be funny, but not funny enough to be cool with him. Like who even knows if George was the only minor he dated. Like it’s wild. They really made this child predator a main character.

Every time I stumble across information about the CW Nancy Drew, I wonder when it will finally die and why they called it Nancy Drew in the fucking first place if they don’t give a shit about any of the books or games.

bittersweet ~ a yandere!John Wick x fem!reader sunshine/grump coffee shop AU... Part 7 all chapters
Tumblr media
I knew the pleasure of vexing and soothing him by turns; it was one I chiefly delighted in.
–Jane on Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
-It's no real mystery, why you dig out your beloved old copy of Jane Eyre. From the early 1900s, it had seen better days when you’d scored it in the local used book store, many years ago. You’d been a teenager then—and those days were long behind you. It seems you never outgrew your liking of a dark and broody anti-hero.
It’s safer to read about it though, than pursue the real thing.
Lately every time Mr. Wick comes into the shop you feel slightly agitated, as though you don’t quite fit into your own skin. You remember the sensation of his fingertips on yours, like a burn.
Mr. Wick sees you reading your tattered novel on your break, but doesn’t comment. You’ve seen him with old classics in hand and reckon he must be something of an aficionado.  
You put it away in your shoulder bag in the back after the break.
The next day, it’s gone.
You know you left it in your bag. Where the fuck could it have gone? Why would someone fucking steal it?
A couple of weeks later, it reappears on the counter by the register you favor.
You hardly recognize it at first, for it has received an encompassing makeover. It has new leather covers with gorgeous embossed gold lettering, and marbled end papers, and the tattered thread of the binding repaired. There are gilded arabesques on the spine and delicately drawn climbing flowers on the cover. You wouldn’t have even thought it the same book, if not for the intricately printed title page unique to your edition, with an old pencil mark in the corner you recognize.
Such a restoration would have cost a fortune.
You knew, because you’d looked into it.  
Further compounding the mystery, there is a beautiful jacquard embroidered ribbon bookmark inside. It’s on the page where Rochester has sat Jane down in the arbor, and is telling her that she has rejuvenated him from his unhappy existence without actually admitting anything, asking in the most roundabout way possible if it would be so very bad to take a second wife who would make him a new man, while his first is still living, the big idiot.
“Is the wandering and sinful, but now re-seeking and repentant, man justified in daring the world’s opinion, in order to attach to him for ever this gentle, gracious, genial stranger, thereby securing his own peace of mind and regeneration of life?”
Jane tells him, of course, that a man shouldn’t base his redemption on another person, but within himself. You are not sure you would have had the strength to speak so frankly to a man you secretly loved.
Well, maybe you would.
You are utterly mystified by the whole thing, to say the least.
But later, you are browsing the local book store, and the owner is reading Anna Karenina in what looks like freshly bound leather. The style looks familiar.
“Did you have that restored?” you ask, feeling like Nancy Drew hot on the trail of a fresh lead.
“Yeah, that new guy in town, John Wick did it for me. He says he’s just a hobbyist, but he does amazing work. Usually you have to send off to Florence for quality like this, seriously. It’s a dying art.”
Darren lets you look at the book, and you are impressed by the craftsmanship.
The spine decoration matches yours. There is a plate in the back that proclaims: Bound by John Wick.
The sneak.
You are touched to the tips of your toes, your heart filled with butterflies. Was the bookmark purposely left on that page, or just a random placement?
You hardly dare hope, and tell yourself it’s an invention of your own fancy. The gift of the book is magnificent enough. No need to further muddle things with secret communications that aren’t really there.
The next day you approach Mr. Wick’s table with hands on your hips, affecting annoyance. “You stole my book.”
He actually has the grace to look sheepish about it, casting those lovely dark eyes downwards.
“Yeah.”
“Thanks. I really love it.” It’s the understatement of the century.
Tumblr media
He looks up through his hair, the surprised sparkle in his eyes taking your breath away. Suddenly, he looks ten years younger.  
“Yeah?”
The corners of your mouth twitch. This man speaks like he’s paying five cents per word, you swear. “Yeah. Why didn’t you tell me you bind books?”
He just shrugs, and you cannot help but laugh.
“I’ve never owned anything so fine. Thank you, truly.”
 He nods again, and you sense that you’re maybe making him uncomfortable with your gratitude. You suspect it’s not why he did it at all.
“Will you show me sometime? How you do it?”
There is a flash of something dark in his eyes before he turns his attention back down to his own book. It feels like dismissal, but you have no idea what he’s hiding underneath it all.
Still waters run deep.
“Anytime you want,” he offers as you turn to go.  
You smile at him over your shoulder as you go back to your station, a secret lightness fluttering in your heart. On your break you flip through your refurbished book once more, taking even more pleasure in it knowing that John poured over every detail of it. You don’t know much about bookbinding or leather work, but you suspect he freehanded the little flowers on the front, and that moves you to your toes.
You flip to one of your favorite scenes because you find it so funny, when Jane puts out the fire that nearly burned Rochester up in his sleep, because undoubtedly he’d drank too much earlier to easily rouse, the lovesick scoundrel. Afterwards he doesn’t want her to leave but can’t outright keep her in his room without behaving an absolute blackguard.
“Strange energy was in his voice, strange fire in his look.”
You cannot help but glance up at your tall dark bookworm in the corner, an aching warmth spreading in your heart for the sight of his furrowed brow, his concentration (you think) focused on the tome in his hands.
You know you are a ridiculous thing.

Welcome to the HOT AND VINTAGE MOVIE STARS poll blog! The Hot & Vintage Men Tournament and The Hot & Vintage Movie Women Tournament are now wrapped—congrats to Toshiro Mifune and Eartha Kitt! If you are here for the Dracula Daily polls, those will be posted regularly following the progress of the Substack newsletters.
All polls—including ongoing polls, previous rounds, old tournaments, the various shadow brackets, the Dracula Daily polls, and fun mini polls—can be found in the #hotvintagepoll tag.
FAQs:
"What is the next tournament?" We'll either do the scrungly little guys contest or the Ultimate Hotties tournament.
"When is the next tournament?" Sometime later this summer. I need to take a break, but then I'll be back.
"I want to find my favorite hottie!" Try a tag search for them (ie, use a hashtag in my search bar to find every post I've tagged them in). If you still haven't found your hottie, they either did not fit the criteria of being a movie star from 1910-1970 or they did not make it past the prelims.
“Can I start submitting for the future tournaments? I have guys! I have propaganda!” Please wait for me to post a submission form or otherwise formally announce a tournament before submitting anything.
The views expressed in the propaganda are not my own. I don’t submit my own propaganda, and I don’t change what’s submitted beyond fixing obvious spelling mistakes. If you hate a poll bio or a pic, let me know and send me something I can use instead.
I don’t post or boost negative propaganda about any of the hotties. If you really hate that someone is winning, send me positive propaganda for their hot opponent instead. A lot of these hotties were flawed or problematic in some way—or straight up garbage—but for reasons I go into here, I don't boost anti-propaganda.
If I see repetitive, trolling, and/or bigoted remarks in the comments, I may block you from this bracket. If you want to point out a competitor's problems in the replies, that's fine, but if I see consistent bad-faith trolling or targeted harassment of anyone, you will be blocked.
"Tel me again who won the major tournaments?" Eartha Kitt was crowned the hottest Hot & Vintage Movie Woman, and Toshiro Mifune won the Hot & Vintage Movie Man Tournament.
"Tell me more about this shadow realm?" There is too much lore.
“My FAQ isn’t on here :(” send me an ask! I love hearing from you guys—just please check these basics first.
Tournament schedule post-hiatus:
Ongoing: Dracula Daily casting polls
Possibly next: Scrungly Little Guys contest (gender neutral)
Possibly next: Ultimate Hottie Tournament (top brackets of the hot men & hot women competing together)
TBD: Horror Hotties (Frankensteins, Draculas, Brides, etc.)
TBD: Dandy Detectives (Marples, Sherlocks, Nancy Drews, etc.)
fun mini polls that pit sets of characters from the same movie together, like the Philadelphia Story or Seven Brides for Seven Brothers ones (these can be found in the #minis tag)
Thank you for being here! Enjoy the polls.

hey guys did you miss me i missed you
anyways rising clawing myself out of my grave to complain again because im reminded half of the st fandom is STUPID
i just saw someone say, fully and genuinely, that nancy constantly dismisses robin’s inputs, that that was ALL she did in the past seasons with steve and jonathan, and ultimately she just wants a ‘yes partner’
and honestly it’s kind of beyond me?? how someone can so drastically misinterpret a character and their relationships? how is one just so wrong?
obviously, they brought up ronance’s first meeting, and of course, the age old “she was so mean”, when. no she wasn’t. she was absolutely impatient, and even snappy, she didn’t have much patience for robin’s rambling, but there was never a point where she insulted her or demeaned her. matter of fact? that’s what ROBIN was doing.
of course she didn’t mean to! robin was just questioning her reasoning and rambling to someone who was exhausted, wanted to go alone in the first place, and has been consistently ignored and questioned for her reasoning the entire show.
can you see why, maybe, nancy wasn’t the most receptive to robin’s attempts at honest conversation? or attempts to clear the air? cause nancy genuinely doesn’t have any problems with robin beyond the fact that she’s distracting her from doing what she does best, and that she chose to come along only to call all of her ideas ‘a massive shot in the dark’
and you know, i’d FULLY get it if after this, nancy DIDN’T see the value that robin’s input had and just ignored her and didn’t listen to her, like you’re implying…, but then,… she actively chooses robin to break into a psychiatric ward with her…..? makes her a disguise and everything…??
now, considering robin’s very real tendency to ramble about things that are kinda personal, it makes sense that nancy is like “let me do the talking” and idk, if when robin started talking one of the first things she said to the person they’re trying to convince they’re academic scholars is “my BOOBS hurt” i would also! probably! be a little freaked!
and you know what? cause robin’s idea works…. nancy trusts robin more! learns more about her and her strengths! they high five afterwards did you miss that!!!!!
to the overall claim though that she wants a ‘yes partner’…. idk this is just so weird and tbh, so misogynistic😭 this ENTIRE show nancy has been doubted and questioned and ignored, half of the time she’s slowed down by people that are supposed to care about her because they just assume she’s boy crazy or she’s cheating or they just think she’s wrong!
and idk, it would be weird if nancy didn’t hate that? if at the first sign of someone who admits she’s a genius and sees the value in her input, it softens her?
wanting someone who doesn’t doubt you constantly is not wanting a ‘yes partner’. matter of fact, nancy DOESNT want a yes partner. if robin was a yes partner, nancy wouldn’t have found out half of the shit that she did, because robin provided new insight and handled situations in HER way. robin didn’t blindly agree with everything nancy did, and it only drew nancy closer to her
anti-ronancers i will never understand u fr
