King George VI & Queen Elizabeth traveling in NJ and NY, 1939
Queen Elizabeth and King George VI wave from the Canadian Pavilion at the New York World's Fair in 1939. Here's a little about their journey on that jam-packed day:
On June 10, 1939, the King & Queen arrived in Red Bank, NJ via special train. From there they traveled a few miles by open car to Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook, where they boarded the US destroyer Warrington for the trip across the harbor to Battery Park in lower Manhattan. (This is video of Warrington crossing the harbor. You can see how hazy it was that day.)
Bertie & Elizabeth were excited to see the New York skyline come into view, and when the ship passed the Statue of Liberty, they stood up from their deck chairs to get a better look.
These places are well known to me, and I always get a little bit of a fangirl thrill knowing I could be walking in Bertie's footsteps. 😊
The Sandy Hook ferry terminal today - most likely this was area where Warrington embarked from back in the day.
Fort Hancock is defunct now, but much of the old buildings and fortifications remain through preservation efforts, like these Officers' Quarters, which always make interesting pictures.
At the start of this very long day, the King & Queen first arrived at the train station in Red Bank, NJ, traveling from Washington DC. Here, they are disembarking the Royal Train and meeting with dignitaries. (photos from NPS and some fun first-hand recollections.)
The Red Bank train station today.
USS Warrington arriving at its ultimate destination - Battery Park in NYC. An enormous crowd awaited the royal couple, greeting them with thunderous cheers. Then they were whisked away again in cars for a high speed journey up the West Side Highway to visit the World's Fair in Queens.
Battery Park isn't the easiest spot to photograph right now because there is a lot of construction in the area. But this is opposite side view of the Pier One building where they would have docked. (you can see just the edge of it all the way on the right in the gif above of the ship arriving.) I'm standing at about the point where they would have gotten onto the West Side Highway.
Adding this last bit for fun, though I've shared it before. This is the breathless commentary of reporters and police dispatchers leading the royal entourage as they progressed from the USS Warrington to Pier One at the Battery, onto the West Side Highway and Grand Central Parkway, all the way to the 1939 World's Fair.
It was very unique reportage because this was the first time something like this was attempted on scene; going live to different reporters dispersed throughout the route, in cooperation with the NYPD and using their radios. It was considered a very challenging undertaking and cutting edge for it's day.
The recording is rather long (dispersed with regal marches when they had nothing to talk about!) but it is a very fun listen if you are interested in this sort of historical thing; especially when the crusty New-York-accented reporters get swept away with Royal Fever - "oh he's handsome!" and "oh she's lovely!" 😂

HMMMMM bakugou being just. the absolute picture of sin.
he works overnight and comes home early in the morning, around 3 or 4 am or so, and you greet him and give him a kissy and ask how it all went. and even though it's still dark outside and he's been working for twelve hours—he's still coming off patrol, right ? so he's still got some energy left, and he eats something and takes a shower and winds down as you fall back to sleep.
and it's not until much later in the day that he wakes up, early afternoon, and you're kind of tiptoeing around so that he can get his much-needed rest. you slip into the closet of your bedroom for something and you think you're gonna get in and out without a sound, but his hearing is so attuned to just about anything and everything at this point.
so rough and raspy, he grunts out, "what're y'lookin' for?" and you whip around real fast and he's just—
half sitting up in bed, bare back leaning against the headboard. an arm behind his head, so that his bicep is tense and round and stone-solid. stretched like that, his obliques are more prominent, taut and rippling up the side of his ribcage. he must have gotten hot while passed out, as he usually does, because the comforter is all askew; one of his legs is bent, the fine hair a dark gold in the waning day; the other is hanging off the bed, lightly swinging as he watches you, and the blanket has come down enough that you can see the bulge of his thigh muscles beneath his stupid tiny black boxer briefs.
and he's just so. man. in every single way.
(his hair is flat on one side, too, and his eyes are still a little puffy from sleep—but you think that adds to it, all in all)
#i have to get this image out of my head you don't understand#please take this from me i'm PLAUGED by him#he's so WAAAAHHH#like. he's always handsome. always. at all times.#but sometimes he opens his big fat mouth enough that you forget just HOW handsome#and then suddenly he's sitting there looking so cozy in your bed and softly blinking at you while looking like THE MOST ENTICING GUY#ON THE PLANET#and you're like............................oh my god.............#please take this image from meeeeeee GET IT OUT I'M SICK#✿ theme: domestic bakugou#✿ thoughts: bakugou#i've been back less than twenty-four hours and already i've had so much to say LMAOO

color coded affection
#thru my experience chronologically the blue one actually goes after the yellow one; but development wise it looks better like this prolly#this is harvest moon like hearts where the color changes as affection level goes higher#twisted wonderland#twst#sebek zigvolt#twst yuu#twst mc#fanart#yea i can't believe once i didn't put any speck of attention to him i am not even looking?????#but now i look intently at him and be like isn't he kinda handsome???????????#OH nooooooo#how life steers itself to the unexpectedly funny road#yuu thought she is finally normal about him#but that's exactly where it starts#god i need to finish my homework

went down a rabbit hole of this subject.
Filippo Lippi, painter and carmelitan friar, and Lucrezia Buti, a nun, meet and fall in love while she poses as model for an altarpiece. Classic.
#dont be fooled by the canon of dynamic that seemed to get more artists going. she was absolutely into it#they eventually eloped together and gained the blessing of cosimo de medici to abandon their vows. they even had kids#also the painting thats in the first 2 is a famous of his but i cant find that its actually supposed to be lucrezia#the altar piece was another one. but he did draw her in other things after too. one time as salomè too#<- so jealous its unreal#art#oh but also dont be fooled by these paintings romantic approach he was not this handsome and also she was 20 and he was way older

shouto accidentally gets drunk while out with you and some other friends and he's sitting there in the heat of the bar, watching you smile bright and laugh wholeheartedly with your hair a little messy and your eyeliner smudged a bit—and he gets suddenly and completely overwhelmed with the desire to kiss you.
which is exactly what he does when you manage to get him home. it's kind of awkward because he doesn't kiss many people and he's also drunk and gangly and looming over you, but you let him crowd you against his front door until the both of you nearly run out of breath.
and you push him away gently with a quiet laugh, telling him, "okay, slow your roll, loverboy. how about we do this when you're sober, huh?" because you're not sure if he means it and you don't want to get your hopes up for something he won't even remember tomorrow.
but he absolutely does remember it, and now he can't look at you without feeling that unfamiliar white-hot strike of desire lighting up his body.
#oh woof.#like. shouto's whole life flashes before his eyes LOL#i have this thought that he doesnt realize he's into you until he's INTO you#and then all of a sudden he is and it's everywhere#he's like. oh wow what is this feeling i think i need to swallow you whole.#LMAOOOO#DONT MIND ME BEING SO PREDICTABLE AND WRITING HANDSOME AWKWARD MAN WHO IS A CLUMSY KISSER#my bread and butter tbh !!!!!!#turns out i just had todoroki thoughts in general while i was out LOL#not strictly about touya LOL#✿ willow writes#✿ thoughts: shouto
