RULES:

All fictional women from a category will be randomized, and put into polls

Whoever gets 50 votes automatically proceeds into the next round. There won't be only one winner for each poll!

We will do one category at the time. We'll start with books.

We'll decide on a winner of each category, and then whoever had the most votes, will proceed into the Final 10.

I'll calculate how many votes each woman got, so that at the end of the voting, you can see how many other women also adored your favourite ones :)

This also means that once you vote, if there's someone else you also want to see in the finals, you can reblog and let your followers know who already has enough votes, and who needs more in order to proceed. I'll also sometimes reblog polls announcing that a certain character has made the cut, and now others need your attention. We're trying to see which ones are loved and adored enough to actually get a lot of votes, even with competition. The voting starts at the end of nominations!

Seriously though, while Batman shouldn’t be in MAWS, I feel a better way is to make a spin-off for Batman in the MAWS universe. Maybe even build up to a World’s Finest and Trinity Special.

Also Antony Starr (Homelander) should voice Bruce in contrast to Jack Quaid voicing Clark while Karen Fukuhara voices Diana.

So I had a random Batfam AU thought, but I don't recall if it has been established that there is or is not any other Trinity legacy counter parts other than Izuku as part of his generation of hero trainees in Japan. If it would work for that but hasn't been established, might I propose one of 2 options for someone being of Kryptonian ancestry:

Yuga Aoyama could have Karen Starr/Power Girl has his mother.

The Yaoyorozu family, after having issues producing an heir, take a page out of Cadmus and Lex Luthor's play book and produce Momo. She has no clue about this and just assumes she stockpiles solar energy to produce her creations rather than the lipids that other members of her family have needed.

I had not mentioned any potential trinity counterparts other than Midoriya

[mariacallous]

I've never been a fan of Trinity, not even in season 9, and I hated her Satan character for Snatch Game because it was such a lazy choice. The challenge of the entire concept of Snatch Game is to be quick and funny while impersonating someone--there is no established characterization of Satan! Anyone can make up any personality for Satan and no one can say "nope, that's not how Satan acts" lol. The same applies too Yvie Oddly's Boogeyman too tbh. They weren't as painful to watch as other Snatch Games (Asia O'Hara's Beyonce...The Vixen's Blue Ivy...Utica's Bob Ross...almost the entirety of s14's choices...) but still // @sprinkledsalt

okay but let's get into this! I'm about to go on a tangential rant about Snatch Game because it is probably my all-time favorite of the challenges and components of Drag Race.

Snatch Game is one of Thee Iconique challenges on Drag Race, a fucking institution of the show, and the one that everyone looks forward to and everyone fears. It separates the queens from the princesses and the all-stars from the call-for-your-cars.

It's about EMBODYING AND COMMITTING to the character WITHOUT focusing on JUST the look! So many goddamn competitors on the show focus on nailing the look and they completely miss the personality and attempting the voice and sound of the impression they're doing.

And you motherfucking need to KNOW about the person you're impersonating! You need to be able to integrate references into your comments (and ideally your answers) and you need to know how your impression would potentially respond and react.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE FUNNY. YOUR IMPRESSION NEEDS TO BE FUNNY, AND NOT JUST IN A "OH THIS IS BAD AND I'M LAUGHING AT HOW BAD IT IS" WAY.

I think one of the biggest things that hurts the queens is that they choose someone famous but who isn't a big personality or super distinctive and which can't be funny - it's why doing Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, etc. are not the way to go, because you can do the looks, but personality-wise they just aren't really big enough or distinctive enough as an impression, if that makes sense. There's a reason why Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Joan Crawford (although really more Faye Dunaway doing Joan Crawford, which is what most Joan Crawford impressions are at this point let us be real) etc. are impression staples (both drag and otherwise) - it's because they're BIG personalities and distinctive and can be funny (without making them the total butt of the joke!)

And don't fucking do a youtuber or instagram influencer either.

I also have an issue with trying to humorize or do impressions (both drag and otherwise) certain celebrities or notable people because there are some circumstances which just shouldn't be exaggerated or attempted to make comedic (how the fuck are you going to do both Ike *and* Tina Turner?! or Gypsy Rose Blanchard?!) Doing someone like Jeffree Starr or Caitlyn Jenner (another reason I'm not a Trinity fan!) is really kinda just poor taste and boring, at the very least.

Which leads me into the Satan and Leslie Jordan impressions that Trinity did. They were ABSOLUTELY lazy choices for the exact reasons you specified for Satan and also because it's basically just more Trinity! Sassy snarky horny Southern gay! How Inventive and new for Trinity to perform that way and make those creative choices! What a show of talent and uniqueness and charisma!

With Yvie's Boogieman, at least it was genuinely creative and interesting, but I also agree with you otherwise (also her Rico Nasty was just kinda eh for me tbh).

Yor writing is -chef's kiss-! I thought I was the only one who thought Sandy was 16ish! ...Do u have SandyxEdgar thoughts? 👀

Many thanks! 🤭💙

And, oh man, do I!

They're dubbed Sleepy Scarf, by a friend and me. (@lumpy-veev :3 they draw really well, check them out if you haven't already!!)

I have a big story idea that features them heavily, and other AU ideas that includes them. But for the sake of spoilers and simplicity, I'll keep it tied to my mainverse. (Which also has spoilers, but I'm not too caught up in that.)

Also, this is them as a couple, not including the TDT.

-Basically, my hc of Sandy is that he's a being even more mysterious than Tara and Gene, because while they were both humans at one point long before joining Starr Park, he simply appeared one day in a very strong sandstorm.

-Nobody was sure what his origin was. A creation of Starr Park? A magic being wisked into existence? Even the Higher Ups of the Park said something along the lines of "Who cares? Just make him a Brawler." And so they did.

-Tara and Gene took it upon themselves to look after him, so he's a part of the Mystic Trinity.

-In his time in the Park, Sandy has observed how things are. Been told by Tara and Gene that a lot of folks here are trapped. How there have been many attempts to revolt, escape, overthrow the system, but it's ended in near-total failure each time. (Although, very few have managed to leave.)

-As a result of knowing so much and feeling like there's no true hope for most/all current Brawlers to escape safely, he decides to take a backseat to trying. After all, it's just not possible in this lifetime. So why bother. 😪

-...and this is where Edgar finally comes in!

-Edgar's an angry lad who's fueled by rage and determination. Honestly I feel like in any universe, Sandy is wowed by Edgar's seemingly endless energy. In this case, Edgar provides a real spark of hope of getting out of this place to Sandy. Since he knows more than his share fair of secrets around the park, he decides to help the edgy teen anyway he can.

-First and foremost, this means making sure Edgsr keeps a low profile and minimizing the damage he's already caused AND the attention he's garnered... He has to calm him down.

-Edgar has been claimed as one of the comfiest to lay on by Sandy. It's like Sandy has become attuned to every time Edgar lays down, because he magically appears and lays on him.

- Onto more light hearted headcanons and thoughts though 🥰

The best way to describe SS is that they're just two cats. One's an active black cat, ready to fight at a moment's notice and can usually be seen jumping across roof tops, and the other is a snoozing cat that enjoys the sunlight.

"You're a pillow and blanket all in one." Sandy mumbles happily.

"No I'm not, I'm just on break," Edgar 'complains' but Sandy is already snoozing, and Edgar just lays there. Until break is over... or some time after that. Colette will be fine...

When it comes down to it, Edgar is a hyped-up angry boy, and Sandy's the calm that can reel him in... to an extent. Conversely, Edgar is Sandy's motivation and has the sleepy boy's admiration.

'Prime Video series The Boys became a global success thanks to its subversive take on the superhero genre, which features so much moral complexity that it subtly referenced J. Robert Oppenheimer, foreshadowing Oppenheimer's dark meaning. Based on the comic series by Garth Ennis, the show doesn't depict superheroes as the idealistic, altruistic beings of Marvel and DC Comics. Instead, The Boys opts for much darker portrayals of its characters, all of whom act more like entitled influencers than benevolent saviors.

One The Boys season 2 scene sees Stan Edgar name-dropping Oppenheimer, alluding to the ethical dilemmas of science and power. Mentioning Oppenheimer, who is best known as "the father of the atomic bomb," adds a complex layer to The Boys. The reference to the real-life theoretical physicist mostly serves as a means of inserting Vought into real-life history. However, it may also be a deliberate way of highlighting the morally gray characters of The Boys, and it foreshadows the similar moral quandaries that come up in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

Stan Edgar's Reference To Oppenheimer In Season 2 Explained

In one of the most overlooked scenes of The Boys season 2, Giancarlo Esposito's Stan Edgar relays the long and dark history of Vought International to Homelander (Antony Starr). Homelander shows up at Stan Edgar's office without an appointment and voices his displeasure at the other man's choice to add Stormfront (Aya Cash) to The Seven without consulting him first. He then threatens to leave Vought by the end of the year, as his contract will be up.

After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, Edgar asks Homelander what he knows about Vought International's founder, Federick Vought. Vought received his doctorate from Munich and was ahead of his time in genetics. In The Boys' fictional timeline, Hitler appointed Vought as the chief physician of the Dachau concentration camp in Nazi Germany. Vought used imprisoned humans there as subjects to advance his genetic experiments. He switched allegiances in 1944, when he felt that Hitler was losing the war. However, Vought continued his experiments in the U.S. While recounting Vought's dark history, Edgar tells Homelander:

"Early in '44, he felt the winds change, got spirited away to the allies. When Oppenheimer was flailing with the bomb, Dr. Vought already had practical applications of Compound B tested in the field; heroes like soldier boy, killing Germans by the Dozen. So, Roosevelt pardoned him, and he became as Wonder Bread American as Disney and Edison."

The dialogue between Edgar and Homelander is a clever way of placing Vought into the timeline of World War II. Through Edgar's Oppenheimer reference, The Boys is able to blend its own fictional history with real-world events. And it's fitting the show uses Oppenheimer, as the man's own moral dilemma can be seen in the themes of the Prime Video series. One could even draw connections between the atomic bomb and Compound V, as both creations come at a high cost.

How The Oppenheimer Reference Subtly Strengthens The Boys' Message About Power & Science

The Boys season 2's Oppenheimer reference is a strong reminder of the nature of science, power, and the moral ambiguity that sometimes accompany both. Nolan's biography of Oppenheimer drives this home as well, with Gen. Leslie Groves Jr. appointing the physicist to develop the atomic bomb, a weapon so destructive that it can help win the war before millions more people die. When the physicist himself sees the result of his Trinity test, Oppenheimer quotes the Bhagavad Gita, saying, "Now I become am Death, the destroyer of worlds." He realizes his attempt to save people also caused massive destruction.

The Boys echoes that sentiment, with Vought's Compound V harming as many people as it helps. Through this substance, the company is able to create Supes. Theoretically, these Supes can help others — and some, like Starlight (Erin Moriarty), do. However, just as many use their abilities in ways that negatively impact the people around them. Through its experiments, Vought International puts itself in a moral predicament not unlike Oppenheimer's.

The Oppenheimer Movie & The Boys Both Deal With Unintended Consequences

The unintended consequences of Oppenheimer's invention are highlighted in the cinematic portrayal of his life. At the end of the movie, Oppenheimer remarks in a conversation with Einstein that he believes the invention of the atomic bomb is the beginning of the world's destruction. He suggests its creation may start a chain reaction of people creating more powerful and deadly weapons. What he created with the intention of preventing further war will, ultimately, start new cycles of violence.

The Boys also grapples with the unintended outcomes of human actions. While Vought International supposedly creates Compound V to help guard humanity and ensure peace, The Seven become the double face of justice and peace, as well as violence and hypocrisy. The company loses control of their creations, with Supes like Homelander wreaking the very havoc they should be stopping. Even the Supes who attempt to do the right thing are beaten down by the corrupt system, showcasing how quickly unchecked power can get out of hand.

Why Moral Grayness Makes The Boys & Oppenheimer Better

The Boys stands out against a market full of idealistic stories about crime-fighting superheroes, daring to look at these beings through a less black-and-white lens. The show raises questions about whether the end really justifies the means, and it digs into the consequences of unchecked power. By mentioning Oppenheimer, it draws a connection between him and the show's characters. Without meaning to, it also foreshadows the meaning of Nolan's Oppenheimer, which highlights the complexity of its lead.

In The Boys, moral ambiguity is a central theme of the characters' actions. Homelander genuinely believes he is a god who knows what is best for the people. Butcher's revenge-driven quest drives him to use Compound V on himself, becoming the very thing he fights against. And Stan Edgar's business focus has no regard for human lives, even if he claims to consider them. The compelling stories of these characters force viewers to examine the relationship between power and morality. Like the atomic bomb, the existence of Compound V also raises difficult questions about the ethical limits of scientific advancement.

By incorporating complex historical figures like Oppenheimer into its narrative, however briefly, The Boys draws parallels between these real-life people and its characters. It highlights the moral dilemmas and challenges faced in The Boys — whether it's by the Supes or Butcher's group of vigilantes — and leaves the audience to reflect on broader questions about who controls those in power, whether the end ever justifies the means, and whether humans have unrealistic views of heroism.'

I know every few months I come on here and I’m like “I THINK I’M ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKTHROUGH” but actually for real this might be a breakthrough on something I’ve been trying to figure out for a while.

I was browsing on cousin matches as per usual but decided to try chipping away at one family that’s been bugging me for YEARS because the only thing I had to go off of was our cousin’s ex wife saying “we suspect that [ancestors] were sisters” but because there is no paper documentation that could prove it, all we have to go off of were the DNA matches and also the fact that both these families were neighbors. TONIGHT though I’m circling around again and found a photo where a researcher was saying this:

“ These five women are all part of an extended Native American Family. Standing are Clara Lou Moseley, Lulu Donnelly and her unnamed sister. Sitting are Anne Roberts and Dorcas Marshall McDonald, with her son Billy. “

Stay with me, we’re gonna get funky. Donnelly is the family name that our cousin is related to, and McDonald is mine. What caught my attention here specifically was ALL PART OF AN EXTENDED NATIVE AMERICAN FAMILY which brings me closer to confirming that Mary Norris (Donnelly) and Kate McDonald are related. So, with the name Dorcas, I looked her up and saw that she was Hoffman before McDonald and her husband was Ernest Jr. The funky part is that Ernest Sr has two people listed as his parents: Tracey Charlie and Annie Starr. A few trees do list James McDonald as his dad and there’s a census that confirms Ernest Sr as the stepson.

Annie Starr was born around 1875. One of my grand uncles James McDonald was born in 1867. Okay, not far off. Ernest SR was born in 1890.

Now, my James was married approximately 1900 (1910 census lists him as 10 years married to his wife that we know). I think that the biological dad for Ernest SR is my relative. This makes the most sense to me timeline wise that fits the description of the photo.

Another note, but this one is incredibly tragic: while trying to look into this I noticed that Dorcas, her husband, and their son all died the same day in 1945. On the child’s findagrave profile it indicates that they perished in an automobile accident in Trinity River. Their son would have been very close in age to my own grandmother. The photo of everyone in that extended family together was taken in 1944.

#family ancestry #if i hear back from this other researcher abt how she knows james is involved #then i can tentatively conclude that mary and kate were sisters #that's kind of the angle i'm working from here

So I'm sure all of you have seen this by now, and I'd like to point something out to all you sheep. So the supposed release is 7/11, Tyler's old channel was slushie guys, where do you get slushies? 7/11. 7 + 11 is 18, 3 x 6 is 18, and there are 3 6's in 666. Coincidence? I think not. Now what is TØP's gifs recently. Eyes. You know what else has one eye? That's right. Mike Wizowsky. Mike Wizowsky has 2 horns, and 4 limbs. Do you know what else has 2 horns and 4 limbs? Goat. What color eyes do goats sometimes have? That's right, yellow. You know who else is yellow with one eye? Bill cipher. And what does he represent? That's right, children's tv. Who else was on children's tv? MCR, who did a song for Yo Gabba Gabba. MCR is part of the so called 'emo trinity', containing FOB, P!ATD, and MCR of course. TØP is said to be the fourth member and formed the new emo quartet. You know what other group has 4 members? The 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. What else had 4 members? The beetles. What did the beetles have? A drummer. What is josh dun? A drummer. What other member did they have? A singer, and what is Tyler Joseph? That's right, a singer. Is this all a coincidence? I think not. Wake up America, Tyler and josh are actually ringo Starr and Paul McCartney. How could we have missed something so obvious in front of us?
