you bet your ass Starscream was still a menace to society even before the civil war and Skyfire, owner of their only functioning megabyte, somehow kept finding himself with the same expanding criminal record as Starscream.

Well, it's bare, cold and a bit bleak outside, so we're bringing a bit of colour into play in today's 17 door, and it's green - even if the lady in question is still very young, she's still an eye-catcher. The Alexander von Humboldt II

Alexander von Humboldt II

A bit more about her and her predecessor:

The Alexander von Humboldt II is a german steel barque that was only built in Bremerhaven in 2011. Like her predecessor, she is clad in green and now serves as a youth and training ship.

Her predecessor, the Alexander von Humboldt, also known as "Alex" for short, is a steel German barque that was built in 1906 as a lightship under the name Reserve Sonderburg (she is of the same type as the Europa). She was decommissioned as a lightship in 1986, converted into a sailing ship and was used as a youth and training ship from 1988 until October 2011.

She attracted international attention as an advertising ship for "Beck's Bier". Today, the Alexander von Humboldt is used as a hotel and catering ship in Bremen.

[I’m being grumpy about knowing too much about the histories of various royal families again don’t mind me]

Seeing a whole post about the absurdity of Zuko being firelord that takes his being seventeen as the most absurd element and I’m just sitting here massaging my temples bc like listen. Look. I get that having a seventeen year old running a country is not actually a good idea. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t, historically, happened kind of a lot
