huge thanks to @mypocketsnug who sent #20-40
this is not at all intended to be some kind of definitive resource as ive literally read none of these yet save for the two i mention at the bottom and im compiling this for my personal use, im only publishing this bc an anon asked me to! feel free to reblog and also recommend me more but keep this disclaimer in mind
There's still time to add your suggestions to the vote, to find the top 100 females to goon to. Nominations must be well known, ie people would be aware of Googling this person to goon to etc to make them eligible to goon material. Your friend may be hot etc but no one will be able to goon to her if she can't be found. Other than that, anything else goes. Real or fictional, current era or from past era etc. Maybe later on we'll do a hot friend contest...
Here is a list of all current nominations put forward over the last 24 hours. If want other names to be entered, DM me @100-sexiest and I'll add them. And then come the new year, polls will open to find the most goonable goon fuel possible!
Riley ship opinions, pt. 1, M/F edition (m/m version here, polyship version here)
If I missed one you want to hear my opinion on, put it in the replies and I'll add onto this post in a reblog.
Buffy x Riley: Is canon. Is the ship this blog is supposedly "about". I like it. Not *super* fond of how it played out in canon, but they're real cute in S4 and have some very sweet moments, like in Hush and Goodbye Iowa. Wish there was more content for it, especially fixit, canon divergent, AU, etc.
Riley x Willow: Gonna be honest, when I started S4 I thought they were teasing this as a ship. They could be cute romantically, especially if they had like a nerd4nerd dynamic going. I think I like it a bit better platonic. I think a really sweet scenario is some sort of AU where Riley is also openly queer (I'm sorry but I'm never not gonna read that man as a repressed bisexual), and he and Willow are friends who support each other.
Riley x Darla: Ok they never met in canon but that never stopped me before. In a more canon sense, I feel like they could have a really fucked up thing where they'd both be obsessed with Angel (cause you know Riley was) and they end up sleeping together or something. I do think in an AU they could be sweet and wholesome but honestly that's most all the ships imo.
Riley x Drusilla: See above when it comes to not meeting in canon. Drusilla would keep him as a pet. Riley, as a psych student, would be fascinated by how her mind works. How... cute?
Riley x Maggie Walsh: "Hello, thank you for calling Mommy Issues Central, how may I direct your call?" But in all seriousness this would be fucked up in so many ways but also somewhat plausible and you know what? I am here for it.
Riley x Tara: Another one I'd prefer platonic. I'm not entirely opposed to Tara in het ships (I kinda like the reading of her character that she's more attracted to like... the person as opposed to gender?) but I usually prefer her in f/f ships. Also, I just don't think Tara and Riley had much chemistry romantically. I'd like them as friends in the same type of scenario as with Willow tho, that could be cute.
Riley x Anya: Not really my fav, honestly. Didn't see much chemistry between them, like with Tara. Not huge on them romantically or platonic.

Riley Hult is dating TJ Hughes, she's a cheerleader and very good friends with Carly Cehelskey, who is best friends with Maggie. They all hang with the hockey boys a lot.
Skylar and Luke may have made out at a party if I remember correctly but nothing came off it. She's around a lot of guys lol - UofM
i have an idea for a fanfic that takes place after the Supernova, but I have no idea if it's actually a good idea. AU where maybe, just maybee, the Supernova might've given a little girl named Riley some powers over life and death that she uses for her own personal gain. She may also have a vendetta against the Renegades, similar to Maggie...... and there's quite a few dead characters in the Renegades trilogy that would be able to make an appearance
is this like,,, interesting? I feel like it would be a neat/fun story to explore some characters undealt with trauma but I wanna know if it sounds dumb or not.
40 days and 40 nights! We’re inching closer to the premiere and all the beautiful pain and pleasure I’m sure it will serve. Only a few new crumbs in show news this week (oh S4 trailer, where art thou?), but we did get a little something from the entire cast this week.
Riley was featured in Station 19 this week as Capt. Farris the union leader as I’d shared in an earlier blog. I enjoyed his scene, look forward to more in the season finale as he shared on IG!
Speaking of the dads, Scott shared an early headshot - so adorable!
Meanwhile Leah’s mind was blown when she found out Elemental is closing out Cannes this year, while Kennedy admitted how much pain the final Aglaeca era episode caused (we feel you) in answer to Katie’s complaint about the crew’s amnesia about the fact that they all agreed willingly to call to the sea monster even when Nancy tried to convince them not to.
Maddison is visiting England (but tried out an Irish accent with mixed results):
And regarding the men of the Drew Crew, we got another look at Tunji in Queen Charlotte (those curls!) with young Lady Danbury (premiers May 4), while Alex’s series High Desert got a trailer - it’s premiering May 17 with the first 3 episodes, while he will be in eps. 6-8. His gf also shared some more pics from her birthday weekend.
In show news, a few more featured actors popped up on IMDB. We have a second nurse and a new named character, Maggie Lake, in Episode 2, the comic episode featured in the M3gan trailer, and a new character named Keith in Episode 6, the Larry Teng special effects driven extravaganza that Kennedy told us had someone dying “a little”.
Shout out to all the Drewds still hanging in there, and especially folks that continue to make quality content to tide us over like NancyDrewGIFs on Twitter, @hucklebucket and @bethanyactually here on Tumblr, @isa on TikTok whose new edit has almost 76K 87K 140K (!) likes in 24 48hrs, and @pressdbtwnpages, @perfectpurls, and many other great fanfic writers on Ao3. There are many more creators on sm than I can list here, thank you to all!
Earlier this year we completed 6 videos for @panicatthedisco filmed over the course of 9(.5) days. This was a massive undertaking for our crew and cast and this entire team knocked it out of the park. I will never get over the intricacy and care of every aspect. Thank you to everyone who made these happen❗️

These aren't ranked but just off the top of my head.
Cristina Yang, as a young girl she was a reminder that women could and should be ambitious and she also made me question the need to have the cookie cutter married with kids life style.
Callie Torres, the moment she hit my screen I couldn't get over how sexy she was. When I finally reeled my crush in I really enjoyed her, she was done wrong by many of characters but I always liked her.
Maggie Pierce. I have no idea why so many people hate her character and maybe after a rewatch I may understand it but I still enjoy Maggie and I've always wanted to see what they do with her.
Lexie Grey, she was a sweetheart and wanted to be a good surgeon and she wanted to be happy and helpful and I'm still sad at the way she went out.
Arizona Robbins, Arizona before the crash was one of my favorite characters on the show. She was bubbly and sweet and her introduction was the reason we finally got some gayness on the show and we watched her go into an awesome new vocation and she was so sweet and those damn Heelys won me over.
Jackson Avery, he was the only I really liked when the hospital merged/takeover and I was happy he lived through the shooting that eradicated all of his other fellow residents. I loved his friendship/mentorship with Mark which carved out a new portion of the hospital. He made a lot of mistakes especially in his love life that I'm not a fan of but I still think overall he's one of the better characters on the show.
Andrew Deluca, he was bilingual, gorgeous, and most of all kind. RIP
Addison Montgomery. I am putting on my blinders and pretending Private Practice isn't a thing and just going to remember her as Grey's character who was complicated but real and I just enjoy her.
Lauren Riley, I know there is almost nothing on her but the little we got was great and my biggest annoyance is that we have gotten NIL since. BRING HER BACK!
Cormac Hayes. I know he was brought in as a potential love interest/eye candy even though he was basically none of those things but I still really liked him. He took over the spot that Karev had been for Meredith and I hate that the other characters BS is the reason he's not there anymore. I would trade him for Owen. I also really appreciated his relationship with Megan and I feel like he and Deluca had so much more to offer.
"com todo o respeito, sra. riley, acho que está errada sobre ela. maggie é inteligente. ela é muito inteligente, boa e se expressa muito bem, mesmo sem falar. ela diz tanta coisa que a senhora não consegue ouvir... sim, a mente dela está um pouco comprometida, mas é mais profunda que um oceano. ela enxerga as coisas de uma maneira diferente da maioria, mas por que isso tem que ser uma coisa ruim? e a senhora está errada sobre a música também. se a senhora acha, por um segundo que seja, que a música não pode curar as pessoas, então não está ouvindo com atenção." o silêncio das águas.
BUFFY: I didn't realize meditating was such hard work.
WILLOW: I'm healing. Growing new skin.
BUFFY: Wow. That's magic, right? I mean, when most people meditate, they don't get extra skin, right. 'Cause Clem should, like, cut back.
