A post that will be edited at not nearly 4AM:

Because I like estate sale shopping on and offline I sometimes find ball jointed dolls that, if genuine, are a hell of a find.

However; without paperwork I cannot prove they’re legit. So I begin to research! I’ve spent hours looking for reference photos for diff dolls— inside the joints and parts, heads, markings that aren’t shown in company photos— just to turn up with very little. I will be posting my dolls and their various bits and bobs for cataloging purposes. Hopefully, the photos here will help YOU, stranger, in your own “hold up is this legit? What company made this?” Quests.

As time goes on and I (maybe?) discover more about the dolls I’ve found, I will update this blog with info. :)

WHAT ABOUT RECASTS??

I do not go out of my way to purchase any recast dolls— I study the doll or doll photos as throughly as I can and check for obvious signs of recasting BEFORE purchasing. Because I’m aware the doll will likely be without its papers, as such I will never sell it unless I can prove its legitimacy. Throughly. All dolls proven to be recasts will live with me forever and suffer my modification practice.

WHY NOT BUY A NEW ONE?

You paying for it?

Jk jkjkjk. I own newer dolls, if I buy a new doll it’s always legit. I’ll post them for reference pics too, probably once a week with a title like “PEDIGREE DOLLIES WEDNESDAY” or something. I dunno it’s 4AM.

TLDR: Unless states otherwise, all dolls here are second hand lucky finds. I don’t (purposely) buy recasts but seeing as these dolls are second hand, I might end up with one. I’ll keep its photos up and weird details listed here as a comparison tool. Message me if you got leads on any DOLLIE MYSTERIES I have.

Pre-Owned – Albion Museum Collection Hallmark Series – The Ljubljana Sword

Blade: Minor cosmetic blemishing (scuffs, scratches)

Hilt: Moderate cosmetic blemishing – scuffs, small scratches, light pitting

Construction: All components are still sturdily affixed

Original wooden Box is included – the box has some open / loose seams

This sword is a recreation based on the exhaustive analysis of a 15th century original example by Peter Johnsson. The original sword is a master-crafted work which is today preserved in the National Museum of Slovenia. Johnssons analysis of the sword demonstrated that its designer made extensive use of geometric principles to establish the dimensions and proportions of the sword in an all-around geometrically harmonic form. This was a practical way of establishing sound design principles in an age that pre-dated standardized measurements. A sword from Albions Museum Collection, this replica meticulously recreates the form, properties and handling of the original in every dimension. It has a blade of 6150 high carbon steel and its crossguard and pommel are cast steel and the wooden grip is skillfully bound in leather. A leather rain guard fitted at the guard completes the sword. Inlaid design has been carefully set into the blade. The last photo shows Johnsson in the act of documenting the original.

The sword N4516 is an unusually fine example of the sword smiths craft. It is masterfully made and an ingenious work of design in the Gothic tradition.

A versatile long sword like the N4516 was effective in cuts against unarmoured targets and excelled in thrusting. Its sturdy blade is well suited for half-sword techniques and the massive pommel may be used as a club. The angle of sharpening is some 30 degrees, making for an edge that is both acute and resilient.

Even with a rather hefty weight of 1650 grams, the N4516 is an supremely agile and responsive weapon as a result of a well adjusted distribution of mass.

The markings on the blade – a dagger shape and one often described as a unicorn – have also been found on other examples from the very late 14th century and early 15th century – notably swords XXa.1 and XVa.2 from Oakeshott’s Records of the Medieval Sword.

You can tell it was made by some of the best craftsmen of its day. There is an economy in form and expression that does not take away anything of its power of presence. Rather it makes its character come out even stronger. The shape is stark and graceful with something very essential about it. It is close to the ideal idea of what a sword of this kind should be. – Peter Johnsson

a letter to the first owner

I just love buying used books, but especially I love my pre-loved literature anthologies. I have a little friend in my corner, leaving notes and underlining passages that they thought were so important, and now I, too, think it's important.

I'll never know your name, but whenever I'm having a hard time on a particularly nuanced poem your insight helps me through. You're so smart. If I'm reading a passage you weren't assigned, I miss you and I'm sad that I won't get to share my discoveries with you like you shared yours with me. You're so far away.

I wish there was a return address on this treasure you gave me, I wish I could tell you how much it meant to me that you were there for me my sophomore year in college. You're so wonderful.

Here's something you found interesting:

"With an eye made quiet by the power // of harmony, and the deep power of joy, // we see into the life of things" -William Wordsworth, "Tintern Abbey"

Explore the Best Pre-Owned Cars for Sale Near Atlanta: Your Comprehensive Guide

Atlanta, Georgia's vibrant capital, is celebrated for its rich history, dynamic culture, and thriving economy. As a central hub in the South, it’s a prime destination for car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. Whether you’re a longtime resident seeking a new vehicle or a newcomer searching for reliability, the Atlanta area offers a broad selection of pre-owned cars tailored to every need and budget. Here’s your go-to guide for finding the perfect pre-owned car near Atlanta.

Why Opt for a Pre-Owned Car?

Choosing a pre-owned car comes with numerous benefits:

Cost-Effectiveness: Pre-owned cars are typically more affordable than new ones. This means you can get more for your money, potentially affording a higher-end model or additional features.

Depreciation: New cars experience significant value loss in their initial years. By purchasing a pre-owned car, you avoid this steep depreciation, preserving more of your investment.

Diverse Choices: The pre-owned market features a wide range of makes and models, from recent releases to classic favorites. This diversity can be especially useful if you’re searching for specific features or styles that may be challenging to find new.

Where to Find Pre Owned Cars in Atlanta

Atlanta’s extensive metro area provides numerous avenues for purchasing a pre-owned vehicle. Here are some top options:

1. Local Dealerships

Many local dealerships specialize in pre-owned vehicles and offer certified pre-owned (CPO) programs. These programs often include extended warranties and rigorous inspections, adding an extra layer of reassurance. Notable dealerships in the Atlanta area include:

Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta: Renowned for its extensive collection of luxury pre-owned vehicles.

Jim Ellis Toyota of Atlanta: Offers a broad selection of certified pre-owned Toyotas and other brands.

Lexus of Marietta: Features a diverse inventory of pre-owned cars with exceptional customer service.

2. Online Marketplaces

The digital age has transformed car shopping. Websites like Autotrader, Cars.com, and CarGurus allow you to filter searches by location, price, make, and model. These platforms also offer user reviews and detailed vehicle history reports, making it easier to make an informed decision.

3. Car Auctions

For those seeking bargains, local car auctions can be a treasure trove. Auctions such as those conducted by Atlanta Auto Auction and Manheim Atlanta provide a wide variety of pre-owned vehicles. While auction buying can be less predictable, it can also offer significant savings.

4. Private Sellers

Purchasing directly from private sellers can sometimes result in better prices. Platforms like Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace feature listings from individuals in the Atlanta area. However, it’s crucial to have any vehicle purchased from a private seller inspected by a trusted mechanic to avoid potential issues.

What to Consider When Buying a Pre-Owned Car

Here are some key tips for shopping for a pre-owned vehicle:

Vehicle History Report: Always review the vehicle’s history using services like Carfax or AutoCheck to ensure it hasn’t been in major accidents or sustained significant damage.

Inspection: Have the car thoroughly inspected by a certified mechanic to uncover any potential issues before finalizing your purchase.

Test Drive: A test drive is essential to evaluate the car’s performance and comfort. Pay close attention to how the car handles, brakes, and accelerates.

Warranty: While pre-owned cars may not come with a manufacturer’s warranty, many dealerships offer extended warranties or service plans for added security.

Conclusion

Whether you’re in search of a dependable commuter, a spacious family SUV, or a sleek luxury vehicle, the Atlanta area is rich with pre-owned car options. By exploring local dealerships, online platforms, and car auctions, and by following best practices for purchasing, you can find a vehicle that meets your needs and fits your budget. Happy car hunting, and enjoy cruising through the vibrant streets of Atlanta!

gimme the Fenton Adoption™

[necrotic-nephilim]

as much as I love the common "Tim worships/stalks Jason" trope in TimJay fanfiction because it's Good and making Tim a weird little freak is Fun, I think the underutilized dynamic is where Jason is the one weirdly obsessed with Tim and makes it Tim's problem.

Like, the moment Jason is confronted with the information that a third Robin exists, the first thing he does is cover his wall with pictures of Tim so he can just obsess and torture himself over it. That is the behavior of a man who is Unwell over Tim's existence and I love it.

red hood: lost days #4

And as much as a shitshow as The Titans Tower Incident™ is characterization-wise (though I think it has far more merit in depicting Jason's character than people give it credit for but I digress-) there's something very fun about the fact that even after kicking his ass, Jason respects Tim and is impressed by him.

teen titans (2003) #29

And on top of that, Jason can't seem to stop trying to ask Jason to Tim to work with him in some capacity.

robin (1993) #177

batman: battle for the cowl #2

While Battle for the Cowl is an exceptionally bad comic, especially for its characterization of Jason and the "be my Robin" bit is taken deeply out of context, I do think it's interesting how obsessed Jason is with believing that Tim is extremely competent, only held back by being "brainwashed by Bruce". (hence him leaving Tim for dead later on in the comic.) Jason seeing a darker side of Tim and wanting to bring that out of Tim, wanting to see what Tim could be if he let go of his loyalty to Bruce is so fun to me, tbh.

And in Robin #177, Jason seems genuinely upset Tim doesn't want to work with him. Jason sees such a raw potential in Tim and is obsessed with it, constantly wanting Tim to work for him and see Tim be the type of person Jason is. And despite Tim rejecting him, Jason doesn't shoot to kill Tim. I just cannot get over the fanfic potential of Jason obsessing over Tim, tracking him and seeing what he's capable of and what he could be capable of. Wanting to make Tim see things the way he does. To Tim it's corruption, to Jason it's freedom. Tim trying to 'save' Jason is fun and all, but Jason trying to corrupt Tim? That's even more fun to me. Watching that power struggle between them, Tim unable to get Jason off his heels as Jason gets more and more possessive and bold with each attempt.

And when Jason sees Tim successfully get Gotham back under control after a gang war, he's impressed. He praises Tim, even. And then Tim just. Breaks him out of prison.

robin (1993) #182

The way they're constantly trying to see something in the other that isn't there, hoping the other will come around? That is the most fucked up hate/love dynamic ever. Jason keeps coming back to Tim, keeps trying to find ways to get Tim onto his side. They're always chasing each other. And I think Jason would be the one to confess love first, the one to do anything to make Tim his. And when you consider after all of this, Tim has his Red Robin arc and is at his lowest, getting the closest he ever gets to considering murder? I think it'd be so fun to see Jason take advantage of that and worm his way back into Tim's life and finally push Tim over the edge.
