Plymouth XNR Concept, 1960. Designed by Virgil M. Exner and built by Carrozzeria Ghia, the XNR made its first public appearance at the New York Auto Show.  It used the chassis and Slant-6 engine from the Valiant, both of which were new for the 1960 model year.

forgot how agitated arthur was by merlin's general existance in valient lmao he was clearly too nervous and merlin wouldn't shut up. i love how that becomes their own private ritual later. they exist in that bubble before every fight or war or anything dangerous they have to do. how arthur learns how to gauge merlin's mood during from those moments and just know what merlin's thinking. how merlin always choses to voice his opinion then. how if they were in a fight that's when they probably make up. i missed them so much.

You smiled and it was the most beautiful thing that I'd ever seen And you apologized Then you covered your mouth 'Cause you're insecure about your crooked teeth But can I just say this? I'm kinda glad that you never got braces 'Cause I like your smile just the way it is

Valiant and Orchidthorn are my everything @forgotten-elegy @scoutfire

just thinking about the valiant again, i think it just shows the simm!master’s very need for the doctor: his attention. he needs him to see what he’s doing, he needs his audience, he had shown the whole thing on tv but the whole human race seeing it wasn’t enough, he needed him. he could’ve easily killed him before or locked him underground when he couldn’t see but no, he kept him there right where he brought his plan to action, he made him see every torture he inflected on the human race, he made him witness him turning his friend’s family into slaves, he made him watch his friend get tortured. he danced with him, he hurt him, he carried him around, he showed him to his wife like a precious trophy, i just know they had so many conversations that always ended in the same way “it’s not over yet” “i’ll kill them all and then you”.

what must have thought lucy about this? the faithful wife that never went against her husband’s wishes, even when he was defeated, watching him treat this alien in the exact same way he did with her, with love, with torture, with callous hands and attentive reverence? what did martha and jack think when they saw the man they considered their saviour, their friend, their equal, lulling the dead body of their capturer in his arms? did that ever change their conception of the doctor? them, that were both in love with him and knew it wasn’t reciprocated, did they realise that this was how the doctor loved? unconditional affection, painful adoration, obsessive needs of control, loyalty to a cause over his very heart. did they appreciate that despite his feelings, he still put the the human race over the master? did they loath him for that? what even happened between them? they’ll never know, he won’t talk about it.

i just need like a whole new spin off for the valiant, it is one of the main reasons i love tensimm so much, they’re both insane and everyone can see it.

It's been (I think) 24 hours since I did a thing and extended the shrine to TWO shelves

It was too crowded on 1 shelf and I had 4 more books to fit on so I had to extend it 😅
