🥲👍

Alrighty, it's been about a year since I've joined Tumblr and half of that year has been with this blog, so I guess I'll make an "introduction" post.

Hi! I'm Lizardwoman (or Becca if you're really brave) and I like things.

Film and TV history (I'm a film major in college and I'm really digging learning about the history of everything)

Discworld and all things Pratchett

Columbo

The Mysterious Benedict Society

Series of Unfortunate Events

Jeffrey Combs

Doctor Who

And about a billion things more. If somethings not listed, that doesn't mean I'm not a fan it just means I have a really sucky memory.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to interact in some fandoms more and overall just put myself out there and be more confident. (This will most likely include poorly drawn fanart, so this is your one and only warning.)

Overall though, all of my social media's are dedicated to messing with friends. This means if you see me bickering with two art blogs, don't fret.

Okay thanks 😘

Hey guys? You know that image of Rama and Larry holding each other in a bright area? You know, the one we haven't seen yet in the show? You know how Negative Spirit 1 just told Larry he was going to be a sun? Do you remember that both Larry and Rama are destabilizing and are going to blow up? Do you guys know how sun's are made? You don't think for the series finally they would... do you?

Once you get past the barriers you've put up in your mind, no crossover idea is too crazy to read.

Plotting something rn. Some might even say scheming.

So for one of my college finals we get to do a creative project. One of the options is to write a screenplay for a scene that could fit into one of the shows we watched this semester (basically fanfiction in my opinion) and I'm choosing to do Dawson's Creek.

So I'm looking up technologies and stuff from the late 90's that teens would have adopted as the were introduced and that got me thinking about videogames which got me thinking about Half Life.

Looking it up, evidently Half Life was Valve's first game? How can they have been founded in 1996 and then 2 years later dropped one of the most influential video games of all time and then continue to put out mostly wonderful stuff until their seeming partial retirement?

I know the vote is far from over but I'm not seeing any hope with this one. I know I'm partly responsible because I voted for Mifune as well, but if I had known what the percentage looked like before hand...

There will be sad days to come for James Stewart enthusiasts. 😔

Propaganda

James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life, The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)—the thing about Jimmy Stewart is that for a weird-enough looking guy, he is yet somehow SO hot and SO believable, ALWAYS. He always plays the same person—he's always, well, Jimmy Stewart—yet that person can be a murderer, a dark cynic, a naive idealist, the boy next door or an old man who knows better, and every one of those is hot. I would jump his bones in a heartbeat

Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.

This is round 4 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

James Stewart propaganda:

"Ough I saw him first in It's A Wonderful Life, where he is very charming as a suicidal family man being absolutely crushed by capitalism. But then. The Philadelphia Story, in my opinion, should get the same kind of press The Mummy does for being a bisexual dream. Now I'm not really bi (not into women) and it's honestly up for debate whether i'm attracted to men or not, but COME ON!! The movie stars James Stewart as well as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn (and Ruth Hussey). Stewart plays a common working man, a journalist, to contrast with Grant's character, who is mega-rich. He is scrappy and hates rich people. Hot! They have a whole scene together where he's super drunk and being really physical with his acting, which I love because he is kinda wet noodle shaped. Hot! He carries Hepburn in his arms while singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Hot! He gets punched in the face by Cary Grant. Hot!!! In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, we get to see him portray an alternative type of masculinity, opposite John Wayne doing John Wayne. He is even more wet noodle-y, to put emphasis on his incompatibility with the rugged masculinity of the cow-boy, he wears an apron for a lot of the film, again, to blur his masculinity, and he gets shot. Hot! Also he's older here, if that's your thing. Long story short: He's giving librarian chic and The Philadelphia Story made me want to be poly."

“Here he is next to Grant, in what I believe to be a promotional shot for The Philadelphia Story. Please don’t get distracted by Grant (or do, i’m submitting him next).”

“He’s a nice guy and a good guy and deserves all the happiness and joy ever! Classic boy next door/class president kid that everyone loves for real. Stand-up for the Little Guy vibes. With a charming fun side!!”

Toshiro Mifune propaganda:

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”

Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)

"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS."

"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."

he's such a whore i love him

This freak bit my nose about 2 weeks ago. Don't take this post lightly.

Y’know what fuck it.

*projects my desire to bite people onto another character*

My New Years resolutions that I keep adding to as the month goes on:

Be more organized. Make sure my desk and areas are clean and manageable.

Get out and interact with people more/go to more events and socialize around campus. Hopefully this will help with my increasing anxiety.

Watch more scary movies to build up my nerves.

Interact more with the fan bases I'm a part of (I think I mentioned this one in my introduction post.)

Finish the three fanfictions I started last year and then ghosted. There is no reason that I shouldn't be able to have them all done by the end of the year.

On a similar note, make sure I reply to every comment instead of doing the equivalent of cowering in the corner until they go away. They took the time to say how much they liked my poorly written work, so the least I can do is thank them for their time.

I'm writing this down so hopefully I can hold myself accountable when I eventually start to slip.
