Bronze-Plaque.com offers a convenient “Design Your Own” tool that’s integrated directly into their website, aiming to streamline the process of creating personalized bronze plaques.

Intuitive and User-Friendly Interface: The HTML5-based tool boasts a clean and straightforward interface. The layout is logical, with clear sections for text input, font selection, adding images/logos, choosing borders/backgrounds, selecting Bronze Emblems, and now, a wide variety of Motifs. Real-time Preview: A significant advantage is the instant visual feedback. As you make changes – typing text, selecting fonts, adjusting sizes, adding emblems, and incorporating motifs – the preview updates in real-time. This allows you to see exactly how your plaque will look, minimizing the chances of surprises upon receiving the final product. Extensive Variety of Customization Options: The tool provides a rich set of customization options to get you started. Text: Multiple text fields allow for different lines of text, each with independent control over font, size, alignment, and color. The availability of a font selection menu allows users to choose the typeface that best suits their message and aesthetic. Images and Logos: The ability to upload your own images and logos is crucial for personalization. The tool seems to handle common image formats well and, importantly, offers image cropping functionality for better control over the final appearance. Basic resizing and positioning are also available. Borders and Backgrounds: A selection of standard borders adds a finishing touch, and the option to choose background colors (though likely rendered as part of the bronze finish with different patinas) provides some visual variation. Layout Flexibility: While not a fully-fledged design program, the tool allows for basic arrangement of text, images, emblems, and motifs within the plaque area. Selection of Bronze Emblems: The inclusion of a library of pre-designed bronze emblems offers users an easy way to add symbolic or decorative elements to their plaques. This is particularly useful for memorial or commemorative plaques. Wide Range of Castable Motifs: The availability of a large selection of motifs, categorized by theme (e.g., Aquatic, Birds, Nature, Architectural), provides even greater flexibility in adding decorative elements directly cast into the bronze. This allows for more intricate and thematic designs. Clear Pricing Indication (Likely): Although not explicitly stated within the design tool itself, the integration with Bronze-Plaque.com‘s ordering process likely means that the tool provides or leads to a clear indication of pricing based on the chosen options (size, complexity, materials, emblems, motifs, etc.). This transparency is essential for budgeting. Seamless Integration with Ordering: The fact that the design tool is part of the main Bronze-Plaque.com website suggests a smooth transition from design to the ordering process. Your created design should be easily saved and added to your cart. Crucially, the ability to “Save Design”: This is a significant positive. Users can now save their progress and return to their designs later without having to immediately proceed to checkout. This allows for more flexibility in the design process and the ability to compare different options. Bronze-Plaque.com‘s “Design Your Own” tool is now a truly impressive offering, boasting a wide array of customization options, including Font Selection, “Save Design,” “Crop Image,” Bronze Emblems, and a substantial library of Motifs. This comprehensive set of features empowers users to create highly personalized bronze plaques directly through the website. The real-time preview and intuitive interface make the design process accessible to a broad audience.

When a fic of mine did not get much engagement in the days past, I used to feel soo self conscious and crestfallen about it, id literally sit there thinking...is it bad 🥺 did I fail 🥺 am I unworthy just like I thought I was? 😔🥺 whereas these days I have inadvertently adopted a jmw turner-esque approach to things? I will look at my 300 hits 3 kudos and negative 3 comments and think first of all this fic is fucking amazing so jesus christ get better taste i guess?? you (i.e. fandom at large) don't deserve to read my writing for free if you can't be bothered to engage with it, if we are honest, but unfortunately for both of us I am incapable of shutting up or keeping anything I have written to myself, so there we are, yet again. you are welcome I guess 🙄🤷‍♂️ is this entitlement any better? entirely unclear but it sure does feel better for me. maybe one day I will find a middle ground or something

there's some concert footage somewhere with a guy screaming out a request for canajoharie. I hadn't heard it then, but I completely get the passion by now lmao.

the way formative experiences in childhood that likely didn't end well with the comparison to a rocket ship crashing on the launch site shaped the song's narrator, and are illustrated through the metaphor of the evolution of mammals beginning to walk on land. memories which are only as potent to them and can't be adequately expressed to the person they seem to be trying to reminisce to, who wasn't there to share them. how they've since outgrown their past and can never get it back...

How'd Eva view the Puritans and the general chaos of the 1600s in England? How would she react if America was found/raised in the New England Puritan colonies or in the interim absorbed their more radical teachings?

I would say read Chapters 1-3 of my fic hoho (silly plug). She was suspicious at first, and by the 1660, she held nothing but contempt for them. She likes to have fun at this point in her life. She likes to dance, to drink, to go horse-riding and shooting (arrows or guns), to play cards, to eat lots of rich and fancy foods and sweets, to grow her weird herb garden and cook with them in her weird bubbling cauldron (not suspicious...) and she doesn't see anything morally wrong with any of it. Nothing gets her hackles up then people getting in her private sphere and telling her what to do.

Alfred was found and brought to England before Jamestown and got very sick, so when Jamestown was properly settled, he was sent back with Evelyn intermittently spending time out there with him, or bringing him back to England for small periods too. She keeps him in Virginia for as long as she can.

When her Civil War begins, she gets her brother to go over and move Alfred to Maryland, which was experimenting with religious toleration for Catholics. After the wars end and Charles II has his bum on the throne, Evelyn is with Alfred always. No more weeks where she is in England and he in the colonies. She is glued to his side until the 1690s. They go to Providence (a tolerant colony for Protestants this time) or Philadelphia (Quaker haven), with the occasional stint in Williamsburg back in Virginia after Jamestown is abandoned.

As she was pretty much indisposed for the entirety of the Civil War and a good chunk of the Interregnum, she loses control over his wellbeing. Because the vast majority of the American colonies had declared for Charles II over Parliament save New England, and because she was locked up for a few years, Cromwell moved Alfred up to Boston. Alfred went willingly because the men who came to him said his mum had sent them, and at this time Alfred's only like five or six. He misses his mum, he'll and will do pretty much anything if he thinks it will make her happy or come home. He was away from her between 1639 and 1655. Over fifteen years without his mother. That's not good for a little one to not have a steady caretaker with them. I think it really messed him up, even more so cause he's stuck with puritans (worse - American puritans, the ones who thought Cromwell was being too tolerant).

Moving from St. Mary's to Boston would have been a shock to his system, but Alfred thought it was what his mum wanted, so he listened and tried to learn. It's why he's so confused by the end of the century because he thought she was the one who had ordered him to Massachusetts. Meanwhile, the thing that actually made her get up and fight her way out of gaol was being told Alfred had been moved.

Like, imagine being a parent and thinking, even though you miss your child, you know they're safe, maybe even with a family you trust, only to be told, no, actually, they're with the very people who you were trying to shield them from. Like she really did not give two shits that she had been whipped to death the previous week, she did care of the thought of Alfred being stripped of everything that made him warm and sweet and loving and made to carry a guilt of just being alive and sins that were not his.

She took that rusted nail, stabbed her guard, jumped in the moat and through to the river, stole a horse and rode down to Cornwall before the day was out. She books it to Falmouth, has a rough ride over the Atlantic, maybe falls overboard because docking is taking too long, and washes up on shore to get to Alfred. He runs right into her sopping wet arms and does not let go for days. She probably immediately keels over and dies for five minutes from exhaustion but shh don't tell Alfred that she's just napping.

Eva immediately punts them down to Providence and then it's let's never talk about that again. I think it takes a long time for Alfred to properly digest those years.

Evelyn does not like Puritans. She does not like Calvinism or her brother's Presbyterianism. She will not be hauled up in front of a congregation and lectured for playing cards and walking unaccompanied through town unmarried, nor will she listen to anything which states that her people are damned regardless of their actions and that any form of redemption is a fool's errand (projecting). She's too vain, and is a big believer in being left the fuck alone. What she does is between her and God. No middle man - Saint or Elder - required. So, she's certainly not Catholic anymore either.

She likes Quakers, does not mind Lutherans or Methodists, and is indifferent to Catholicism so long as she isn't made to be one, enough to let Matthew practice how he wants in private, and she herself is - rather reluctantly and mainly out of habit rather than genuine belief - High Church Anglican. She'd never admit it, but she likes the idolatry and superstition that reformers railed over. Makes it rather fun. From my understanding, I think most American churches, the dozens of splinter baptist/reformed/evangelical churches etc. tend to be low church? Or is that an oversimplification maybe. Probably. But I can see how, even to the modern day where maybe Alfred and Evelyn themselves aren't like particularly religious in their day to day lives, the impact of that split is still felt.

Nations and religiosity is an interesting topic, but I really only know so much about Anglo-Scottish religious development to comment on nationhood as a whole, and the world is so much bigger than two thirds of a damp island 🫡😅

The 'problem' with the English Reformation compared to many German states or across the border in Scotland is that it was so deeply led from the top down by a 'secular' monarch and nobility and not particularly by the actual clergy. Thomas Cranmer was put in place by those in power because he promised to get a task done for Henry (marriage annulment) and used the opportunity for his own ends. Meanwhile John Knox across the border was running around converting the Scottish nobility onside with one notable exception (the monarch, but to be fair she was like 14 and in France and we all know how well it went when she came back), if that distinction makes sense.

And I think, because the English Reformation was done for such selfish reasons primarily, then ecclesiastical ones second, things like the dissolution of the monasteries, the suppression of Cornish as a language, the taking over of the Common Land all spiral out from it. From Cornwall to Oxfordshire to Yorkshire to Norfolk to the Lake District, the people on the ground were protesting this hard only to be slaughtered by the thousands.

I think Evelyn would have exited her reformation incredibly jaded. Like of course the Catholic Church was (is) broken. What spilled out of it in England was equally so. I think Evelyn wanted to protect Alfred from that, but in many ways he was impacted by those splinters just as much as she was. It's just another one of her poisons which leaked out its container. English conflicts never have the courtesy to stay in England, it always has to be someone else's problem too. So guilt, mostly, to answer your question. She would blame others, of course, but also blame herself a lot. If she was just a better person, Alfred wouldn't have suffered needlessly.

Plaque hunting should absolutely be a thing. I do it and I love it. Go someplace new? Hunt for plaques and learn a little local history! Walking down the same street you walk every day and have for years? Reread the plaques! Take photos, share ‘em! I love plaques so much! Not monuments or statues or anything like that. Just little epitaphs on pieces of metal or rock pinned to places that once held a great deal of significance to a small community.

Yeah, if you take the VIP tour you get to see a lot of cool shit up close.

They let you into the original Houston Mission Control Center, which has been restored as closely as possible to what it was like during the Apollo 11 moon landing:
