Welcome aboard

Masterlist

It was nerve-wracking when the cryo pods with humans entered the ship, Inferno had to calm down Red Alert more than once and Magnus had to physically stop Rodimus from going to see the humans.

"It's a test", the red haired human femme, by the name of Anna Summers, was clear to state, "ten years in open space, we are going to see the effects to prolonged space radiation in the human body".

Megatron wasn't in the reunion back then, some things never change with humans, and Rodimus was busy trying to get a raise out of Thunderclash, and failing miserably, so it all landed in Minimus using his Ultra Magnus armor to get things clear with the cunning human femme before it got worse.

"You already had such test done back when your first astronauts were exposed to months and even years in orbit", it's clear what they want, how longer can a human really be next to them, maybe it isn't stated on the documents in front of him (what is it with humans and their necessity to make paper when trees are in the verge of extinction just to show their luxury products?).

"It's true but open, really far space is new for us".

"The quantum jump could kill the humans"

"Don't worry, as we're talking they're being put in cryostasis to survive the first jump", she had a strange energy around her, almost as pushing something to him but not saying it herself, "they all accepted the danger and are aware of their actions".

"I'm sorry if it's hard to believe when most of your selected crew barely reached the human accepted age of maturity", this seems strange no matter how you see it, most of the humans are barely 18 years old, some he is sure are younger but had their ages changed for some reason", Anna's smile doesn't waver.

"Believe me when I tell you that there is a better future aboard your starship that in earth for these people", she now seems moved, still putting a business smile on her, "just you know, I tried my best to get good people".

There was some desperation on her eyes, on her whole demeanor, but Minimus didn't ask her about it, he can only look at what humanity did to their own world and see that the cybertronian settlements on the planet are, probably, where the most fauna and flora are still alive and thriving.

So now here they are, humans waking up after the quantum jump and getting out of the pods, some empty their tanks and look sick overall, some that are specialized medics help their comrades while they wake up, Minimus looks around, some humans are hugging one another and he doesn't need to look at the group that is getting away from most cybertronians, he wasn't part in the war on Earth but it isn't that hard to decipher what Anna meant when she said that she tried her best when one human of that group looked at Toxin like he killed someone loved even when the mech had never put a ped on Earth.

It was obvious that hate would come one way or another.

But his attention was easily diverted to a strange sound and human words, some humans start to talk, no, sing: "There is so much on my mind".

Someone laughed after recognizing the song, "Oh my god, Eddie, that song is old as the cough!"

Many other also laughed while fighting back the nausea and overall cryo side effects, the song was bouncing around with their sing and Magnus could see Blaster almost dancing to the tune, "it's a nice song, Mags", used as his excuse to continue while many other humans, not the obviously hostile, tried to dance with him in strange euphoria, the one that put on the song stretched an open palm to him, a smile on his young face while most humans started to sing: "Just levitate, just levitate"

"Edgard Larsen, at your service, sir", Minimus took the hand of the human on his own.

Edgard had a nice and firm handshake, and a playlist full of rock and pop from hundreds of years ago.

[my-life-fm]

Die 14-jährige Holly (Flora Ofelia Hofmann Lindahl) schildert in einem Schulaufsatz Szenen häuslicher Gewalt. Alarmiert schaltet Hollys Lehrer das Jugendamt ein. Sozialarbeiter Lars (Bjarne Henriksen) hält Hollys Schilderung für wahr und bringt die Kinder in einer Pflegefamilie unter. Für die Mutter Dea (Christine Albeck Břrge) und ihren Mann Simon (Peter Plaugborg) beginnt damit ein Albtraum. Preisgekrönte Dramaserie in acht Teilen von der "Borgen"-Macherin Maja Jul Larsen. Sozialarbeiter Lars wird an eine Schule bestellt, wo den Lehrkräften das Verhalten eines jungen Mädchens aufgefallen ist. Als er dort ankommt und mit der 14-jährigen Holly spricht, wird schnell klar, dass dies kein ganz normaler Fall für ihn werden wird: Die ängstliche Teenagerin bestätigt seinen Verdacht, dass ihr Gewalt angetan wurde. Ihr Stiefvater Simon soll sie geschlagen haben - Szenen von Gewalt, die sie in einem Aufsatz festhält. Lars schaltet die Polizei ein und findet heraus, dass Simon schon in der Vergangenheit Probleme mit Gewaltausbrüchen hatte. Es gilt also, keine Zeit mehr zu verlieren. Holly und ihr Bruder Theo müssen unverzüglich in einer Notunterkunft untergebracht werden, um in Sicherheit vor Simon zu sein. Davon ist Lars überzeugt, weshalb er Dorte und Rasmus, die mit dem Jugendamt als Pflegefamilie zusammenarbeiten, darum bittet, die Kinder aufzunehmen. Lars' Kollegen sind allerdings skeptisch. Ist das schnelle Vorgehen wirklich gerechtfertigt? Auch Dea, die Mutter von Holly und Theo, ist erschüttert. Nicht nur, weil ihrem geliebten Mann Gewalt an ihren Kindern vorgeworfen wird, sondern auch, weil ihr die Kinder entzogen werden und kein Kontakt mehr mit ihnen möglich ist. Maja Jul Larsen, die schon mit "Borgen - Gefährliche Seilschaften" als Autorin Bekanntheit erlangte, gewann mit "Cry Wolf" in Göteborg den Preis des Nordisk Film & TV Fonds für das herausragende Drehbuch der Dramaserie. Die Rolle des Sozialarbeiters Lars spielt Bjarne Henriksen (Kommissarin Lund, "Borgen"). Die Rolle der Holly interpretiert die junge Flora Ofelia Hofmann Lindahl äußerst sensibel und authentisch. https://ogy.de/k5b2 https://ogy.de/hzd6

A traditional legacy of the Royal Copehagen

Many people adore the legacy of collectibles. A different theme tells a different story every year. Collectibles from Royal Copenhagen have chronicled stories of love, war, and amazing experiences over the years. Established about 250 years ago, Royal Copenhagen is the best and most renowned porcelain manufacturer in Denmark. They have developed a taste for wealthy families, royal families, noblemen, and a larger audience of Danish families and many visitors. Royal Copenhagen has maintained its recognizable style and superior quality throughout history. 

A brief History 

The elegant blue and white patterns used by Royal Copenhagen were established in 1775 by a pharmacist named Frantz Heinrich Muller in collaboration with the Dutch Royal Family. They are based on traditional Dutch services but have a fresh, contemporary touch. Every piece of Royal Copenhagen porcelain is instantly recognizable by the three blue waves on its underside. They stand for the Sound, the Great Belt, and the Little Belt—the three main waterways of Denmark. Queen Dowagerulian Marie proposed the three waves as a Royal Danish Porcelain Factory trademark in 1775. The intricate decoration of the hand-painted porcelain is comparable to the artist's signature, and like any other work of art, each piece of porcelain from Royal Copenhagen is signed by the expert blue painters.

​​The manufacturing facility was renamed the Royal Porcelain Factory when King Christian VII took over financial management in 1779. Until 1801, the Royal Copenhagen stayed in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The raw ingredients were sourced from Bordeaux, France. Cobalt blue was then used to embellish the porcelains, which were borrowed exclusively from the beautiful Chinese porcelains. The renowned cobalt blue was used to paint the original designs of Royal Copenhagen. The Flora Danica, which Johann Christoph Bayer designed in 1790 and used gold and many colored enamels to decorate, was another famous piece from the period.

Royal Copenhagen displayed its goods at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851. The Royal Porcelain Factory entered private ownership in 1868 as a result of the privatization of royal industries, but the "Royal" appellation was kept. Royal Copenhagen, which was acquired by the earthenware manufacturer Aluminia in 1883, was the first significant porcelain manufacturer to significantly alter its design aesthetics. Royal Copenhagen received global prominence in 1889 when it won the grand prize at the Exhibition Universelle in Paris.

The iconic Blue Fluted pattern, which is well-known, was first used on a coffee set in the early Royal Copenhagen collection. When designer Arnold Krog became the artistic director at Royal Copenhagen in 1885, he expanded the pattern into a complete set. The first pieces manufactured were for the royal family. 

He changed the factory's designs in the same direction as art pottery was going, hiring numerous painters to create new patterns. Over time, the company's collectible porcelains were distributed all over the world. It became well known among collectors of ornamental porcelain and hand-painted furniture miniatures. 

Royal Copenhagen Collectibles

Since 1908, Royal Copenhagen has produced Christmas plates, each with a distinctive design. Every Royal Copenhagen collectible has a distinct history that reveals a profound passion for the special legacy of fine craftsmanship. Hundreds of tiny grooves, carvings, and engravings precisely bring each theme to life; this requires the artist to be an absolute master of the medium.  collectorIt's the only way to make a compelling story come to life. 

The Blue Fluted pattern is still the same, but has a contemporary, fresh design. A young design student named Karen Kjaeldgard-Larsen offered Royal Copenhagen a daring concept at the turn of the millennium: to reimagine the traditional Blue Fluted pattern in a larger, more visual form. Immediately, the new line felt more current, and Blue Fluted Mega became a modern classic. Each piece of Blue Fluted Plain and Blue Fluted Mega is handpainted and bears the artist's signature. 

Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plates 2023

The Royal Copenhagen plates for this year have a flock of sheep strolling through a Danish forest as their motif. The shepherd pauses to observe an antique Viking monument while toting a weary lamb in his arms. Sculptor Allan Therkelsen, a longtime collaborator of Royal Copenhagen, developed the motif.

Royal Copenhagen Christmas Plaquette 2023

The Royal Christmas Plaquette, Copenhagen 2023, was created by Dag Samsund and is titled Holiday Baking. The mother and children are shown in the kitchen baking for Christmas in the 2023 Royal Copenhagen Christmas tiny plate's design. Over the table, the lights in the Advent wreath are on fire; a lit Christmas ornament in the window can also be seen.

Royal Copenhagen Christmas Ornament 2023

The decoration of the 2023 Royal Copenhagen Collectibles Ornament features a sweet little hedgehog wrapped up in a cluster of branches. The rich blue tones complement those of the Royal Copenhagen Annual Christmas Plate, as they do each year.

Christmas Angels 2023

The five Royal Copenhagen Christmas Angels were first shown in 1955 in pure white porcelain. The figurines are now being re-released by Royal Copenhagen with faded blue skirts and gold accents. The ornaments come with a string that may be used to hang them or stand them upright. Many people adore the tradition of the Royal Copenhagen Collections. The adorable Santa and Christmas tree figurines, along with the blue collectibles, have graced homes for years. Each year, a new motif conveys a story of Danish cultural heritage. conceived in 1908. This year, it's your turn to collect some. Visit our store https://www.empiregiftsandantiques.com/cat-18.htm to start collecting.

MINOR CHARACTER MARCH MADNESS

Get ready for a March Madness Tournament for all the kid characters who exist only in the background, or only once, or just not nearly enough times in South Park. Each poll will last a day, with multiple polls going every day (at least for the start). I tried my best to pick truly minor characters but if you think one isn't minor enough or are sad I forgot one... sorry I don't feel like rearranging the entire tournament at this point 😅

Each character has been sorted into seeds 1-16 based on how prevalent I think they still are in people's memories and then paired up just like regular March Madness (i.e. 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, etc) so apologies if some early match ups seem unfair. It'll hopefully make any upsets that much more exciting!
