Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939)
Tumblr media
Only one thing dates Mr. Smith Goes to Washington: the controversy that accompanied its release. Said controversy seems absurdly comical when looked at today. This 1939 film is eerily modern. Brilliantly acted and directed, memorable, emotional, funny and touching, it’s the kind of movie you’ve seen referenced and imitated many times - you just don't know it. This is one of the great ones, the kind of story that awakens something inside you.
Under pressure from the corrupt Jim Taylor (Edward Arnold), Governor Hubert Hopper (Guy Kibbee) must appoint a new U.S. senator to replace the recently deceased Sam Foley. They are looking for a stooge the crooked Senator Joseph Paine (Claude Rains) can keep in check. Taylor chooses Jefferson Smith (James Stewart), a wholesome idealist with no political experience.
If you’re familiar with any moment from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, it’s probably the climactic “filibuster scene”. If this is all you know, you have no idea what the film is really like. You might’ve guessed that it’s inspirational but Smith is more than an everyman, he’s the concept taken to another level. Once in Washington, he immediately walks away from his entourage and goes on a pilgrimage around the city, visiting monuments that take his breath away. As an audience member in the 21st century, you chuckle a little but it doesn’t take too long for you to understand what he’s seeing. Smith is not like us. He’s never seen the Statue of Abraham Lincoln; he’s only heard and read about it. Standing in the shadow of the marble titan, he cannot help but be overwhelmed by hope and inspiration. He knows he’s underqualified for the job given to him. Rather than be discouraged, he's determined to try even harder.
You sympathize and fall in love with the dreamer thanks to James Stewart’s performance. When he comes head-to-head with Taylor and his stooges, you realize the movie is about so much more than politics; it’s about standing up for what’s right no matter the odds. Taylor has all of the power. He can basically do whatever he wants unopposed. Even knowing this cannot prepare you for the overwhelming obstacles Smith faces. And what does our hero have to counterattack with? Little more than the backing of the people he’s won over legitimately - which is still not much compared to what money can buy. It’s a nerve-wracking battle, the kind that makes you sink into a pit of despair. You don’t know whether ultimately, this is a fight he can win. Maybe an unhappy ending is the reason the film was attacked as anti-American and pro-Communist for its portrayal of corruption in the government...
Democrat and Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley called the film “silly and stupid”, “a grotesque distortion” of the Senate, which is a shock to anyone who watches today. Part of what makes Mr. Smith Goes to Washington so good is its authenticity. Though Smith is an idealist, the story knows being in power doesn't mean you're a good person. There are a lot of crooked people in the story. Even the nice ones are passively complicit in the dark deals happening in Washington - but there’s also hope. It’s made clear that ultimately, Frank Capra believes one person CAN make a difference, that individuals ARE important.
All this makes the movie seem so dark and dire. It is, particularly during the last act but it’s also got a lot of humour throughout. Smith is such a fish out of water you can’t help but laugh at him when he arrives on the scene. You'll be in stitches every time he interacts with his appointed secretary, the cynical takes-no-guff-from-anyone Saunders (Jean Arthur, fantastic). The two of them are so good together that you could forget all of the business in the Senate and still have a great film.
Simply as a piece of cinema, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is a delight. A particular scene in which the camera focuses on Smith’s hat says so much with so little. You don’t see the performers’ faces at all but you know exactly what’s going on. There are many scenes like this. It’s simply fabulous, the kind of movie that has a little bit of everything: romance, humor, suspense, great performances, camerawork and writing. This is the kind of movie you see once and then never forget. (On Blu-ray, June 26, 2020)

“I want to be feminine in the way men are feminine” You want the ironic feeling that comes with doing the exact opposite of what your kibbe body type says to do with your fashion. And you’re right, it feels edgy and gorgeous, do the kibbe body type test so that you can do the exact opposite of the fashion advice it gives you. Right now

FNAF: MICHAEL AFTON x M!READER
“ Getting Caught ,,
ubblemon-kibb • cobi
01/2024
Tumblr media
SUMMARY • Your boyfriend Michael and you have chosen to take the next step in your relationship. However, there was just a tad issue … it was the 1980s and William was a “grumpy old man” in Michael’s words.
DISCLAIMERS • fear of homophobia, coming out unintentionally, NSFW suggestions/action, illusion to sex, 1980 concepts and views, etc… You can in-vision movie Michael if you want, but it’s whatever - all up to you (personally I don’t see Josh like that 💀), unproofread.
Tumblr media
The sound of rumbling asphalt was deaf on your ears.
It had been nearly 6 months, sure a short time, but almost a year was a big deal.
He had asked you while the two of you trailed behind your group of friends. Michael and his goofy grin- his bright eyes and tan skin. It was that look that made your heart stop - that was the moment you knew your dynamic would change forever, and friendship would merely not be an option any longer.
In that moment, you quickly twisted your head away from him, face flushed and heart pounding.
Jacob, Anissa, Wilson - what about them?
What would they think?
Your hands clutched your jacket (it was really Michael’s, but the sudden drop in temperature had him lend it to you).
You remember seeing Michael’s smile drop, he looked away and his face twisted to one of nervousness.
The other three of your friends ran ahead of you guys, jumping and screaming about something.
He stopped.
You stopped.
You stood there together only a mere block from his house, you could see the warm lights peaking through the rooftops in front of it. Michael’s face grew warm, under the cold night sky, you didn’t think of it — not until he grabbed your hand and patted you shoulder with his other, a crooked forced smile on his face.
“..Michael?”
You remember being warmer than you ever were, more hyperaware of everything around than you had ever before. The night he asked you was the day your life changed forever - when you finally got the grab of notice and that feeling of satisfaction. Knowing, knowing one hundred percent, that he felt the same way.
That night you two met the others outside of his house, his father on the porch scolding your friends for being so loud. By that point Michael took his jacket back, not wanting William to see. Your flustered face was excused to be from the cold, and William offered for you boys to head inside for the night.
Truth be told, it was probably the most awkward sleep over you probably ever had or will have.
6 months is huge. An accomplishment of sorts. 6-months of hiding your relationship; kisses in privacy, discreet hand holding in the darkness of the movie theater, and stolen touches as time went on.
Everything was perfect — too perfect. It made you anxious, as if this was the honeymoon period and that one day this would all end, as if Michael was playing a trick on you - you knew of his mischievous ways and his bullying tendencies to those he and his friends deemed weaker, and while you weren’t one to condone it (and of course never participated), you never had it in you to hold it to him.
His room was full of games and comics. He even had a little arcade machine in there. His shelves were full of flashing game-boys, action figures and comics with possibly nude scenes or awesome action sequences. His door was plastered with posters and “do not enter” signs — he was the epitome of an edgy teen with a jock lifestyle.
Your favorite thing about his room, though, was its solitude. His younger siblings were on the first floor, his him and his father were on the top. So the two of you could be as flirty as you wished without worry of anyone being around.
As the moment, your anniversary gift laid forgotten on his desk, hand on your back drawing all of your attention.
His father wasn’t home, the driveway abandoned by any vehicle, and his siblings were still in your last hour of classes.
You solemn leaving soon.
Your fingers entangled themselves in his hair and his arms were wrapped around you.
Your lips molding together, the slow glide of your teeth together and the taste of his tongue drawing sighs from your mouth.
He groaned and pulled you closer while leaning back, you got on top of him, your hands still resting in his soft hair.
He removed his belt began to unzip his jeans, still pecking at your mouth as you remove his varsity jacket from your shoulders.
Your faces were hot and breathing became faster as you felt one of his hands on your hip, a single to take this further.
You bit your lip.
By this point you’ve only ever kissed or sloppy made out when the cost of clear.
But this..
This was uncharted territory.
You obliged and nervously rocked your hips into his, both of you quietly moaning at the sensation. The feeling of your jeans on his, grinding down on your clothed cock — it sent a light headedness feeling to you.
You could feel him wrap his arms around your waist as you hugged his neck, pressing you mouth onto his in slow long motions.
Your breath hitched for a moment and he took over the kissing.
Your legs straddled his lap as you put the same slow hard motions into your hips; grinding down deeper until you could feel the tents in both of your pants rub against each other.
You whined and he moved to your neck, his teeth nipping at the skin there, your hands pulled at the back of his shirt.
You closed your eyes felt a rumble, it was in your chest, had to be. Your heart of pounding and you breath became harder to keep up with, the feeling in your lower abdomen growing tighter.
Michael joined your motion, drawing out a guttural groan from the back of his throat as he closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of your hair.
Your sighs ended on high notes, the feeling of your burning cock against the confining fabric of your boxers drawing you out of your head.
You reached down and undid your belt and unbuttoned the fly of your pants. Michael saw and pulled his leaking cock through his own boxers. Doing the same, you could’ve nearly been done just by the feeling of springing free. The sight of his own and his breath on your face.
Whining, you began to hump your hips against hips again, him drawing you nearer until you both touched, skin to skin.
A needy whine left your mouth, he throbbed against you and your movements became sloppy. He sped up, his breath shaky and his hands gripping at your sides.
The hot pool in your gut was like it could seer through your stomach.
The sound of creaking coming from somewhere afar.
You were practically being bounced on his lap every couple of motions, both of you lost in the pleasure of the moment, grasping and panting into each other’s mouths.
“a-ah— hh..-“
He sucked in a breath and his hips faltered, he grabbed both of you cocks and began hastily pumping them. You loudly moaned and threw your head back - the rope in your gut snapping and strong ropes of white cum landing on his shirt and some on his face.
He kept going to chase is close release and you held your eyes shut, clenching your jaw shut, shaky moans stringing from your mouth at the continued friction.
Finally, with ending thrusts into own, he left out a breathy string of moans as his pencil shot hot into your own tank top and face.
Heavily panting, you swiped your hand across your shin and licked it off.
He shakily chuckled and kissed you. The tingling feeling of his lips on yours ending when the sudden sound of thudding ripped you from your moment.
Michael shot you a nervous look before doing up both of your pants and moving you aside. You leaned against the headboard and tried to catch your breath, having difficulty at the sight of Michael getting up to change his shirt and to clean his face.
“What was.. was that?” You asked quietly.
“I- I, uh, don’t know. ‘mma check it out.”
He hated being sent home early from work.
William dragged a hand over his face as he neared the front door — and after today, he would make a point to call before coming home.
Whatever chick Michael had over was none of his business…
William sighed and shook his head.

it’s fascinating how one of the most popular body type styling systems was made up by some guy in the 80s who wears suits with flip-flops and objectifies women and it has such vague contradictory parameters that it’s impossible for anyone to determine their type, only the guy who made it has that divine ability (if you book a private session he will even make you over with a horrible dated outfit 😍). And he has a private Facebook group where exclusive followers eagerly await new revelations about the system, conveyed via barely coherent posts, thinking surely THIS update will clarify how it works. But it never does. Because only the guy can have the sacred knowledge, otherwise how would he keep his cult going. Meanwhile aficionados are arguing on Reddit about what “curve” and “width” really mean because even though the system uses just a few basic terms it’s a shitty incomprehensible word salad. Aren’t you excited to find out whether your female body type is manly she-hulk, sensual curvy goddess, or little boy? And that’s kibbe

My inspirations for Yang and FemYang
Isabelle Ajdani
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just look at her beautiful classic face features. And guess what, the reference I used for La reine Wen-li was these. Tbh La reine Margot costume actually fit Yang like a glove, they suit him so much
Tumblr media
OVA Yang's face frame literally looks like her (yes, I edited it but it was minor)
Kat Dennings, Sydney Sweeney, Scarlett Johansson (Soft Naturals in Kibbe)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I always have "Yang was a Soft Natural" as my headcanon. Overall, Yang's look was average but he has a lot of interesting details: He looks fleshy rather than slender (I think he just looks slender compare to other officers and because he's not tall), and he was frame dominance. His arms and hands was chubby as well. And, he doesn't suit restricted and tailored uniform but rather comfy scarf, open neckline and comfy, casual top like oversize shirt, cardigan, sweater. Soft Natural's face features has similarities like defined nose, soft cheeks but high cheekbones, romantic sensual eyes and soft face. And guess what, Yang has all of them, especially the nose and the eyes. Btw he has romantic essence as well. And his overall description was "Soft" and "Average" (which could be think as "Natural")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He doesn't looks slender, just...an average guy.
Joy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Her essence/aura would be the most suitable for his overall. Average but cute and pretty features yet not too young like a highschooler or too old like a 30 yrs old. She's unverified but IMO she's also SN
And DNT Yang proportion looks kinda similar to her
Kieu Chinh
Tumblr media
Well, you understand. If her hair style was more unruly and softer, I would've mistaken her with Yang. Her face makes me remember Yang's when he was concentrate or serious

Have you always had this sense of style or did you develop it? I love ur style and aura so much, it's very captivating and effortless yet deep haha. I'm 20 now so I feel rushed to start dressing how I want but I've gotten so many mean comments about my body so I'm insecure & feel like my dream style won't suit me so well
Ah this is such a good question! I think I’ve always had a strong sense of what I like and dislike or simply my own sense of style, which gets influenced and evolves over time. But I had to learn and develop understand of clothes to work out the practical element of dressing, such as what fits well, what materials I like, how to wash/care for clothes, etc. I got told I dressed like shit by a “friend” once because he was annoyed I had joined in on the other guys in the band lightly teasing him about a coat he was wearing and it really hurt my feelings so I made a concentrated effort to look better after that. Which is a sad reason to do something tbh!
I would say don’t rush your style, and as you say you’re only 20? There is no “deadline” and your style is I’ll continue to evolve as you age and have new experiences. It’s not a static thing it’s as fluid as you are. But I think it does pay off to buy one really perfect item over 10 okay items. To achieve this do a lot of trying things on without buying to get used to how different clothes makes you feel when you wear them.
I’m so sorry people are cruel about your body - it’s something very hard to unlearn about how you feel about yourself and can complicate personal style. But I take the position that self expression is more important than focusing on what is “flattering” on a person! I know people love those kibbe body types and colour charts bhr some of us just aren’t wired that way to find it enjoyable being told what you can and can’t wear. Therefore I think your style will suit you inherently because it’s an expression of you. Any argument about what’s flattering or not in my view is tied to beauty standards that don’t work for everyone.

I've been watching this youtuber called Aly art and they give really solid fashion tips based on your kibbe type.
And I think that Diluc is definitely a Romantic body type. This is the vibe I'm getting from him.
(in the artwork, I think that most of the 3D models look like ass)
Tumblr media
- His face is soft, his hands are small.
-He looks petite and if I didn't know, I would've said his height is average for a guy.
- Romantics have a lot of ying energy and I can see that in Diluc.
- He has quite the gentle expression.
(though it's more of a distrustful look)
Tumblr media

Tumblr media
I know that people are into buff Diluc but I've always liked that he's a petite male character. And just because he's a Claymore users doesn't mean he can't be petite. What about the other female claymore characters?
In my eyes, Diluc will always be petite but that's because his muscles are lean due to running often.

i am obsessed with this specific artwork of a dnd cultist by satoshi kamanaka...
i first saw it on the kibbe circlejerk subreddit and i had to see more of it so i reverse image searched it and got this.
on it there was the quote "you don't believe in my god? that's okay, he believes in you". i'd like to believe it's kind and well-meaning, but it also could be threatening. i don't know much about dungeons and dragons, but i'd love to meet and befriend/fall in love with one of these guys (yes i know they're evil)...

Back on the Kibbe Soapbox- Twice Jihyo
Hi guys, I actually needed help from one of my more experienced kibbe friends on this one because Jihyo was very puzzling. In case you don't know, Kibbe is a body type system made by stylist David Kibbe that takes into consideration your bone structure, flesh, and muscle.
I'm pretty new to kibbe, but if there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that Jihyo is a romantic. Romantics are rounded- think Marilyn Monroe. Rounded, fleshy, and of course, utterly stunning. However, romantic clothes aren't currently in style, and I think often times romantics end up looking... over weight. The sharp lines dont blend with the roundness of romantic features, and honestly nothing quite blends well, natural, gamine, dramatic, classic lines all look pretty bad.
There's also been a long history of jyp accusing jihyo of not taking care of her body- aka calling her fat. Honestly, it's pretty infuriating in the first place, but looking at her in romantic lines it becomes clear just how thin she is.
First, let's take a look at her in some lines that don't suit her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First let's note: God Jihyo is gorgeous. Second note, these are all looks we are quite used to on her. But just let these soak in.
First one she looks a little wide, although it emphasizes her curves. Second she looks flat, flat hips, tubular waist, and her arms look super short. Third makes her look a bit disproportionate, like theres just her chest on a box.
Now her wearing her lines.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now notice how stunning she looks in these? I was actually shocked by the first photo. See how thin her arm looks? It actually looks too thin in comparison to the rest of her body.
Honestly I wish I could say more but I think it's obvious once you see it, and with the lack of romantic lines shes worn... all I can say is jyp disappoints me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, I'll be dreaming of jihyo in these outfits.

So, I've watched Patriot today. And I must say, Tavington is such a perfect villain. I don't know if anyone can portray such a repulsive butcher being a perfect eye-candy at the same time. It saddens me that such movies are so predictable and the good guy always wins. Like come on, in real life bad guys often win, why is it so hard to make at least one flick true to life? Let the villain win, just once, if just for a change! I mean, Tavington has really won the battle with Martin and the latter survived just because he's played by Mel Gibson and coz good guys win in the end by some miracle. It's not fair. In real life Tavington would have killed everyone and got all the glory and land 😄
And also... well, the hair. Jason Isaacs looks so stunning with longer hair and short haircut does not do credit to his soft features (hello to Kibbe types, God bless his soul). Short haircuts are good on those with angular, sharp features and guys with soft, gentle ones only lose. I'm not saying that Mr Isaacs looks half bad with short hair but it does not complement him, while longer hair gives him character.

The NCIS Summer Bingo Challenge ends in the next day or so and I was feeling bummed about not being able to get to everyone's requests so @the-last-rat-standing had a great idea!
How about a Leftovers Bingo Challenge?! I have moved the remaining challenges to this card, including the double Slibbs request that I had. I also gave myself a Free Space and an Author's Choice so that I can cheat should I have an idea that doesn't fit well anywhere.
There are four corners for pairing requests from the four mutuals (@the-last-rat-standing @tangocharliekilo @thenicecheese @hoffnungswolke) I trust most with my fics before I post them. These guys are the best beta readers or prompt givers in the fandom!!
That leaves seven blocks that can still be claimed by request. Once again, feel free to Anon or message your request. You do not have to stick to these three pairings. If there is another pairing we have discussed or I have reblogged, I can give it a try.
I will keep doing my best to get to everyone's requests! I'm still chugging along! 🤣😂

If you're like me you've spent some time at some point looking into Kibbe types trying to figure yours out and I just thought to myself you never see men talking about theirs.
Just once I want to see a guy go "Bro, I just found out I'm an Ingenue" lol
