☆ UPCOMING STORY SNEAK PEEKS ☆
story 1: midnight rain
midnight: it was a noun to some, simply meaning the middle period of night. but to a little girl, it was her mother's hero name.
gifted a strong quirk hailing from her father's side, and a stronger personality from midnight herself, that little girl grows into the strongest storms you pray to only see in your nightmares.
and yet, like both her parents, she looks like a daydream all the same.
though, it didn’t start out like that; in fact, at the start, nemuri wasn’t sure if she even could raise a child herself.
and she couldn’t.
but with the help of her two well-meaning, slightly idiotic friends, the task seemed just a bit less daunting.
story 2: cowboy like me
a young con artist, the best of her kind, gets a job when a fellow con man introduces her to a villain in need of her deception skills.
the job requirements? infiltrate UA and weasel her way into shoto todoroki—as well as his family's—life.
for a year and a half.
it was a long con, and she was never a fan of those. especially when the chances of being caught by the number two hero were astronomically high.
but when the criminal dropped a stolen and stuffed moneybag at her feet? of course he became her newest employer.
the girl may as well have been walking into a burning lions den. still, she’d obviously bring her A-game and not rest until every last one of them was completely fooled.
forever is the sweetest con, right?
story 3: clara bow
the general public had their doubts about the H.P.S.C. and a small few had the guts to voice it. one day, the words caught flame and began to negatively sway opinions of the organization.
the president knew she had to act quickly to maintain their pristine image of innocence. and what better way to convey that, than with a bright-eyed poster child?
now, she wouldn't use hawks for this; his big hero debut was already scheduled for his eighteenth birthday.
instead, enter project: poseidon.
it all started with the adoption of a five year old who gained her quirk and lost her father—a dear member of the H.P.S.C.—in the same night. what seemed like kindness, was only twisted preservation of the status quo.
but hey, what do you know? the media is a sorry sucker for motherly madam president and her abundant, charitable heart.
the whole country watched the young profitable girl at the woman’s side, raised in the dazzling, blinding spotlight.
and wow.
it's hell on earth to be heavenly.

“Clara Bow” by taylor swift except it’s the Potter family.
"You look like Clara Bow in this light. Remarkable. All your life, did you know, you'd be picked like a rose?”
But it’s what every generation of the Potter’s have been told.
"You look like Stevie Nicks, In '75, the hair and lips. Crowd goes wild at her fingertips. Half moonshine, a full eclipse.”
But it’s the James Potter getting told he looks like his mother.
"You look like Taylor Swift, in this light. We're loving it. You've got edge, (s)he never did. The future's bright, dazzling."
Harry Potter getting compared to his father.
🎉 Two July 29th "Birthday Girls"; Thelma Todd (1906) and Clara Bow (1905) in a scene from the Pre-Code film "Call Her Savage" (1932). Monroe Owsley (another Leo 🦁 - August 11th) looks on as the ladies are about to "square off"🥊.
Propaganda
Elizabeth Taylor (Cleopatra, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof)—iconic actress with purple eyes and a double row of eyelashes, the real ebony dementia ravenway of old hollywood. known for her stunning tastes when it comes to jewelry and her incredible, incredible advocacy during the AIDS crisis.
Clara Bow (Wings, It)—The original It Girl (literally), Clara was the epitome of a flapper film star. She was obviously a looker, but it was her acting that won over hearts. Watch the movie It (no clowns) to get a sense of her charms. And while she's most known for her silents, (including Wings, the winner of the first ever Best Picture Academy award) she did make some talkies! Contrary to popular belief, sound films didn't ruin her career; she reportedly just hated the process of making them. She had a really interesting background and it's a shame she's not as well remembered as others of her time.
This is round 3 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.]
Elizabeth Taylor:
I've been trying to steer clear of the absurdly-big names, but damnit, those violet eyes got me. The *talent*, the *presence*, the string of marriages and (temporally out-of-bounds) work in combating AIDS and pioneering in the concept of the celebrity fragrance line.
Not only did she have gorgeous violet eyes and lashes for days and one of the hottest voices ever, she was also a big supporter of the gay community
Child actress turned starlet, Liz dominated films as one of the greatest screen legends of classic hollywood. If your protagonist has violet eyes, they're imitating hers.
A Legend. She was serving milf rage in Whos Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. A Star in every sense of the word.
She was renowned for the beauty of her eyes; they were a dark blue but could look violet in certain lighting, something that photographers would actually touch up to look even more so in pictures. But even more striking was a genetic mutation that gave her a double row of eyelashes. She was also famed for her string of husbands -- 8 marriages to 7 men. Two-time hubby Richard Burton once said she was “a wildly exciting love-mistress… beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography.”
Her EYES. Early and loud support for gay rights and AIDS victims. Married a bunch of hot dudes, Burton twice!
just look at her. she's gorgeous. there's a video somewhere of her applying her eyeliner in the mirror and I think about it all the time
THE Hollywood actress of all time. Not only was she known for her long dark locks and blue-violet eyes, she also had one of the wildest life stories ever….. She’s Carrie Fisher’s stepmother because her father Eddie Fisher cheated on Debbie Reynolds with Liz. She was knighted as a dame of England. She was married to seven different men, one of them twice. She was also very kindhearted and did a lot of charity activism.
Asides from being an iconic actor, she did a lot of philanthropy and co founded the American Foundation for AIDS research. She’s sometimes considered one of the last great stars of old hollywood
Clara Bow:
The original it girl! Flapper icon! She's sooo fun and charming and confident, it just shines through any film or picture you see of her.
I love love love her genderbendy boy style and her cute twinkly performances!! watch wings i s2g she absolutely brings it
She has gorgeous doe eyes, how can you not love her?
She's literally THE It Girl. Like actually, she's the term's namesake. She was an extremely prolific silent film actress with a reputation for wild behavior who defined the 20s flapper era. Her boyish frame, androgynous style, and red curly hair were widely emulated.
