(Ewan Matchmaker Game)
After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has chosen your perfect boyfriend...
Julien Sorrel (Scarlet and Black)
You like men who are complex and rough around the edges. Someone that society judges based on their exterior but you desire to know fully. Whose motivations aren't easily understood as they're kept tucked away. Only revealing their true selves to you once they love and trust you. Julien Sorrel is all these things and more. He's a dreamer with lofty goals who is shackled by the box society has put him in. A sweetheart who means well but is often controlled by his emotions. He would be a loving boyfriend and write you beautiful letters everyday. He'd work tirelessly to provide you the life you deserve. The way to his heart is to invite him on a picnic and let him share his knowledge of the flora and fauna with you. If you show him that you're a person of knowledge as well, then he'll immediately fall head over heels in love.
Thanks for playing!
(sorry for the delay)
Ooooh, you know just how to tempt me: with a man from the 1800s 𫦠lmao. I havenāt seen Scarlet and Black yet, so I canāt say for sure, but he seems like a good fit! Youāve definitely hit the nail on the head with my thing for brooding intellectuals hahaha and I love getting a character with the long hair! Iām certain weād live a long, happy, and pretentious life together š
Thank you!
I'm not an artist (I wish) but this seems like great info to spread regardless.
Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on hereā- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! Thereās more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hairā-cause itās a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but Iāve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them hereššš¾ Iāll upload them all in parts!
Part 1: Long masc hairstyles + playing with fades
just wanna say your movie reviews are underrated. I love how you review ewans movies flawlessly and precisely šyour reviews are flawless.
Oh my god! I have no words! š„¹ Thank you so much, dear moot! I'm absolutely touched and encouraged that you enjoy my Ewan reviews! š„¹š«š«¶ Oh my gosh you've made my day š„°š
Hello!
I feel your sadness and agree. Luckily, I have some info that will hopefully brighten your spirits! Ewan actually did two more musicals after Moulin Rouge!
In 2005, he performed in the stage musical "Guys and Dolls." Unfortunately, I haven't come across a bootleg of the full play but here's a link to him singing "Luck be a Lady" https://youtu.be/yigcJ3OCa-s?si=I70lyYBb6H6ra1Gf
Then in 2017, he was in Disney's live action "Beauty and the Beast" as LumiĆØre. Now, he's a CGI candlestick for 99% of the movie, but he does sing twice that I can recall!
Finally, here's a list of Ewan movies after 2001 that aren't musicals but he does sing in for one reason or another:
Down with Love - 1 end credit song (absolutely gorge)
Miss Potter - 1 song (serenades the main character midway through the movie)
T2 Trainspotting - 1 song midway through the movie (not a serious song at all but still fun)
Bleeding Love - 2 songs (1st in the middle of the movie for fun and 2nd during the end credits as a duet with his daughter)
If you'd like a list of movies pre-Moulin Rouge I can do that too!
Sometimes I think about the fact that after Moulin Rogue, Ewan Mcgregor never did another musical and it makes me sad for the world.
As some of you may know, I was recently kicked out of my house. I'm okay, and I have a place to stay right now, but it is not going to be easy. This is a GoFundMe post, and although I would appreciate donations you DO NOT HAVE TO DONATE. I hold absolutely nothing against people who can't give me money, especially because I know a lot of y'all are teenagers lol. I don't expect to reach the donation goal at all, I just decided on a somewhat arbitrary number that would let me cover all my basic payments for a few months.
I've been watching Star Wars Attack of the Clones and got to the scene where Anakin and PadmƩ are in the meadow. Anakin asks her about her childhood crush or something and she says "Are you gonna use your Jedi mind trick on me?" For whatever reason, her asking that made me wonder if Force-play is a thing in the Star Wars universe and if PadmƩ was into it. Like, do you think Anakin ever DID try to mind trick her in the bedroom per her request? Do you think that being such a powerful and commanding figure for practically all her life would make her interested in submission? To be able to just turn her mind off and allow someone else, someone she trusts above all others, to control her body? Make decisions for her? It's a thought I found interesting.
Over this weekend, I've been thinking hard about the pros and cons of leaving Tumblr and what other options I have. Well, last night, I was reading old letters I wrote to myself from several years ago. A regular theme in these letters was loneliness. I didn't feel like I belonged anywhere and came to the conclusion that I never would. Reading these letters of my younger self made me realize that I can't leave this hellsite. I've spent so many years looking for the community that I finally found here and by god I'm not ready to give it up.
Unfortunately, I still don't know why what happened on Thursday happened, nor do I have reassurance that it won't happen again. I've accepted that my best course of action is to export my account and have another way to keep in touch with mutuals if I go dark again. I'm also going to keep @loycspotting-thee2 as a backup account. Other than that, I can only hope that incident never repeats itself. My dad always said that the experience of others is the best teacher so I beg you to please use my experience as a learning opportunity. I would never want anyone to go through what I did. Thank you everyone for your love, support, and patience throughout this ordeal. I love y'all and am so thankful to stay in community with you. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Last night, my account was terminated. I don't know why. I was in the middle of using the site when suddenly I was locked out. No warnings. No announcements. Nothing. I was an absolute wreck. I couldn't eat or sleep. There was no word from Tumblr's management team. I could only explain what happened and sit on my hands. I felt utterly helpless waiting and hoping for a miracle. I had a home here. I had friends who became family. People that I love. Fandom that was my absolute joy and honor to participate in. It was all ripped away for no reason at the drop of a hat. My work. My mutuals. My home. Gone. Just like that. I couldn't say goodbye. I didn't know if or how I'd be able to find my moots again. I was able to create a second account called @loycspotting-thee2 and wracked my brain trying to remember my friends' usernames while terrified that that account would disappear too. I couldn't focus on anything. I was completely distraught. Thankfully, a miracle did happen and my account was magically reactivated. Again, no warning. No one reached out and explained what happened. One moment it was here, gone the next, then here again. In all my years of being on social media, I've never feared that a platform would kick me off like that until last night. I stayed up reading story after story of people who have used Tumblr, some of them holding accounts for YEARS with thousands of followers, logging on just to find it wiped from existence on any random day. This is a serious and repetitive issue, but not apparently to Tumblr. I may not have been a Tumblr user for long, but this incident has irrevocably broken my trust. No amount of saving and cataloging and backing up my account will protect me from being a victim of this website's carelessness. I would always have to worry if I'd be the unlucky user of the day that got their account deleted with no guarantee that it would be reactivated. I cannot and will not live in fear that everything I've created and the home I've found will be taken from me again against my will. Therefore, I have decided that the best option for me is to deactivate my account and say goodbye on my own terms. I am absolutely heartbroken to come to this decision. This has been the most unreal online space. I loved it here! It was everything I've been looking for and I only regret not signing up the first time I heard about it all those years ago. I love being in the Ewan McGregor fandom! Where it's not just a fandom. It's a fanhome š. I found my voice here, as well as people who heard me. People who understood me. This was my absolute favorite place to be, bar NONE. I felt fulfilled writing and reviewing. There were so many more things I wanted to do and experience with you guys. It was you who encouraged me. You listened, reblogged, commented, and messaged. You accepted me. From the bottom of my heart I love my mutuals. Even if we don't follow each other, if we've talked or interacted with each other's posts I love you too. I love the passion and creativity flowing through this site. I don't know what will happen with the Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage project. I'm not ready to quit just yet. Maybe I'll start a Reddit or letterboxd account. Of course, for the writing, I can consider joining Ao3. If you want to keep in touch, then I implore you to message me so we can work something out. The friendships I made here are paramount to everything else. I'm going to leave this up for 9 days (or until I'm terminated again š) to give myself time to get things in order. On September 1st, I will say goodbye.
I'm scared. I'm fucking scared. Tornado
Just wanna say I love you. Thank you for your companionship and community.
love this clip so much. Can't believe I forgot about it :)
happy sunday :)
