Austin Healey I restored a couple years ago. Lots of metal work very happy with how this one turned out.

GODFUCKING DAMMIT IT GOT ME AGAIN

[halcyon-autumn]

I read the wheel of time books in middle school and was deeply, deeply obsessed with them, so now I’m incapable of thinking critically about the show at all. Every time one of my faves (read: any character) is on the screen I’m just like “THATS MY BEST FRIEND FROM WHEN I WAS THIRTEEN”

Reading this book about myth and this really explains a lot about why some fans think the show is doing the characters dirty but other fans think the show is adapting them well. Cause we all experience/latch onto different traits of our favorite characters and perceive them differently. This really explained this to me better in literary terms:

One of the things that enabled myths to create and sustain belief in their characters was the fact that the gods and heroes were plurimedial. That is, the characters were represented through a variety of different media-epic poems, tragedies, songs sung at weddings, vase paintings, sculptures, and so on. When a character is plurimedial, the people who experience that character draw, usually unconsciously, on all the different representations that they have seen and heard in order to create their own, personal versions of that character. We do this all the time today. Those of us who enjoy Sherlock Holmes, for example, are likely to have unconsciously built our own personal vision of who Holmes is out of bits and pieces of what we particularly like about Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayals, for instance, plus traits that stick in our minds from reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, details from book illustrations that show Holmes in a deerstalker hat, and so on. "My" Sherlock Holmes is unlikely to be exactly the same as "your" personal Sherlock Holmes even if we have seen the same television shows and films and read the same books, because each of us remembers, and values, a different mixture of things from each of those portrayals.

-Sarah Iles Johnston, Gods and Mortals: Ancient Greek Myths for Modern Readers

Like for example, "My" Rand is entirely different than somebody else's Rand cause different people value different aspects of his character

Spin the wheel of S-classes characters and pick an option:

you may reroll if you don't recognise your result at all since there isn't a good character-list I know of, but otherwise you will have to live with your luck. Or kill them.

🇬🇧 Embark on a journey through the illustrious lineage of the Aston Martin Lagonda, spanning from 1976 to 1990, a testament to automotive luxury and innovation!

👑 Founded in 1913, Aston Martin has become synonymous with luxury, English elegance, and high-performance automobiles. In the early 1970s, it continued to push the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.

🚘 The Aston Martin Lagonda lineup of the late 1970s and 1980s exemplified the pinnacle of luxury automobiles, featuring sleek and sophisticated designs that set new standards for elegance and refinement.

🛞 Beneath their refined exteriors, the Lagonda boasted powerful V8 engines, delivering exhilarating performance and effortless cruising. Their spacious and sumptuously appointed interiors were outfitted with the latest amenities, including plush leather upholstery and polished wood trim.

💡 The Lagonda was known for its innovative use of electronic systems, including digital dashboard displays, onboard computers, and advanced climate control systems, setting new benchmarks for automotive technology and innovation.

💔 Despite critical acclaim and a loyal following, production of the Aston Martin Lagonda ultimately ceased in 1990. One of the key factors contributing to the discontinuation of the Lagonda series was the high cost of production and limited demand in the luxury car market.

An exciting hebrew thing is that I personally quantify how 'good' I am at a language based on if I don't need to auto-translate it into english just to understand whatever I'm hearing or reading

My spanish, for instance, is very decent at simple sentences, but my hebrew is starting to get to the point where super-simple sentences are just... I don't need to go into english brain mode!!! I'm developing a hebrew brain! And it's so much less exhausting because I know what is said without going "hebrew > vocabulary > english> hebrew"

I found that someone had transcribed the Old Tongue lyrics for “Nynaeve al’Meara,” but I haven’t found a translation yet. So I took a stab at it!

I’ll post the Old Tongue lyrics, then my attempt at a translation. Words or lines in bold are ones I had to guess at using context. It’s not an exact one-to-one translation, but more of what I think it’s trying to say.

Afterward, I will list out the words and their meanings. (?) means I couldn’t find that exact word, and where possible I breakdown how I determined a likely meaning. Bold words are ones I could not find a meaning for.

With the definitions I will link to my translation sources and at the top the original site with the transcription. Enjoy!
