[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Delta V, 1970. A project by German rubber and plastics manufacturer Metzler to create a targa-roof kit-car based on the VW Beetle. The prototype was presented in the US where Beetle-based kit-cars were big business but the Delta V appears to have gone no further, perhaps because of the complexity of the kit which had an estimated 10-week build time

Hispanic Heritage Month + Band of Brothers

For the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 - Oct. 15), I rolled up my sleeves to do some research on Latinos who served in Easy Company.

Here's who I found…

Antonio C. "Tony" Garcia

Here's the bio & gif set I made for him:

Ynez M. "Tito" Mendoza

Ynez was born September 22, 1925 in California. His parents, Jose and Carlota, were both born in Mexico and had immigrated to the U.S.

He enlisted in Los Angeles in January 1944, and joined Easy Company as a replacement. In October 1944, he was wounded in the lower leg by artillery, but returned to the line December 1944.

After the war, he married and had 3 children. He died on June 30, 2011 at the age of 85.

Wiliam S. "Guillermo" Metzler

William was born and raised in Naco, Arizona. His parents, Francisco and Julia, were born in Hermosillo, in the Mexican state of Sonora. They married, and later immigrated with their first two sons to Arizona, where William and his other siblings were later born.

He was living in Los Angeles when he volunteered for the U.S. Army in August 1942. He was one of the original members of Easy Company and trained at Toccoa.

He was killed in action in Normandy on June 24, 1944, at the age of 22.

Sergio G. Moya

Sergio was born on February 24, 1921, in San Francisco, California.

In February 1943, he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He was one of the original members of Easy Company and trained at Toccoa.

He was on the C-47 plane with Lt. Meehan that was shot down over Normandy by German anti-aircraft fire on June 6th, 1944 (D-Day). He died at the age of 23.

Joseph "Joe" Ramirez

Here's the bio & gif set I made for him:

Cousin Chronicles Line Up

I am not working on the story rn 😔 but I did finally give Bailey and Winter full body designs, and I tweaked everyone's designs a wee bit I do think they all look better now, and Echo is supposed to be Hella badass and I think she looks more badass than before. But I am focusing more on ADIOS rn unfortunately, I may work on CC a bit, idk yet.

If you care this is the original line up (Minus Bailey and Winter)

[weaponizedmoth]

Sketchy redraw of a drawing I made a year or so ago. They're my ocs, Hayden Metzler (who's not awake atm) and Anthony Lamonica who is sort of an insect God destined to eat other Gods that threaten the very fabric of reality.

They're in love <3

The original is under the thing blah blah

Maid (2021)

Eine amerikanische Netflix-Miniserie, die auf Stephanie Lands Roman ,, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive" aus dem Jahr 2019 basiert. Alexs Leben ist nie einfach gewesen, da die Ehe ihrer Eltern von Gewalt geprägt worden ist. Alexs Mutter gerät nach ihrer Scheidung in eine Lebenskrise. Sie vermacht ihrem eigentümlichen Freund ihr Haus, während sie nun in einem Van am Rande der Stadt lebt und sich nun voll und ganz ihrer Kunst und ihrem Drogenkonsum widmet. Alex Vater lebt mit seiner neuen Familie fernab von seiner ältesten Tochter. Alex gerät früh in eine Beziehung, die der Ehe ihrer Eltern sehr nahe kommt. Alexs Freund Sean terrorisiert seine Freundin und ihre gemeinsame Tochter Maddy auf täglicher Basis mit seinen spontanen Wutausbrüchen und seinem Alkoholkonsum.

Eines Nachts beschließt sie, ihrem Elend zu entkommen: Sie packt ihre Sachen, nimmt ihre Tochter und verlässt Sean, während er noch schläft. Was nun beginnt, ist ein ewiges Pendeln zwischen zeitweiligen Unterkünften in Frauenhäusern und bei Freunden, Putzjobs und Seans bösartigen Versuchen, sie und Maddy mithilfe seiner Anwälten zurückzugewinnen. Das Putzen sichert ihren Lebensunterhalt und ist ein gefundenes Futter für ihren seelischen Zusammenbruch, sei es durch ihre schwierigen Kunden oder die körperliche Belastung.

Ihrer Tochter zuliebe gibt Alex nie auf und macht wieder, egal, wie aussichtslos die Situation scheint, in der sie sich befindet. (7/10)

'One False Move' – searing neo-noir on Prime Video

From the brutality of the cold-blooded robbery that leaves a Los Angeles apartment stacked deep with dead bodies that opens the film to the sun-blasted climax in rural Arkansas, the lean, gritty crime drama One False Move (1992) startled and entranced audiences who didn’t know what to expect from this low-budget independent production. A then-unknown Billy Bob Thornton, who also wrote the…
