if The Jetsons live action movie was made in the 90's, Paul Reiser, Bob Saget, Scott Bakula or Mark Harmon would make a good George Jetson, Bonnie Hunt, Linda Purl or Deidre Hall for Jane Jetson, Jonathan Lipnicki or Liam Aiken for Elroy Jetson, Michelle Williams or Beverley Mitchell for Jane Jetson, Danny DeVito of course would be Cosmo Spacely, Leslie Nielsen as Henry Orbit, Ed O'Neill as Mr. Cogswell, Rosie O'Donnell as Rosey, Daniel Stern as M.A.C.C. and this one i think will be good, Dave Coulier as Atsro.

@kat.mcnamara “The Expected One” by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller meets “The Walker” by @aikenweiss . There’s been a lot of conversation about this painted time traveler this week and I couldn’t help but make the parallel as I’m also living between the two times and worlds. ᪥❦𖣔
Very cool! I love how they Kat and Larry like comparing WIndy to art.

Starklings from 1997
Based on @sabedile-asoiaf 's post: What if ASOIAF was adapted when it was originally published?
(Disclaimer: all of these are hella American and mostly from stuff I watched as a kid in the 90s so I can't speak as to how realistic this would actually have been)
Edward Furlong as Jon Snow (age 20)
Tumblr media
(you'll remember him as the kid from Terminator 2)
Ian Bohen as Robb Stark (age 21)
Tumblr media
(anyone who recognizes this shot wins the 90s)
Leelee Sobieski as Sansa Stark (age 14)
Tumblr media
Thora Birch as Arya Stark (age 11)
Tumblr media
(I'm not sure if she is quite 11 here since she wasn't actually in anything famous in 1997, but it's around that time and was too deliciously in-character for Arya to pass up)
Liam Aiken as Bran Stark (age 7)
Tumblr media
(People at the time wanted him to be Harry Potter and frankly, I can't argue)
Here he is a few years later with red hair:
Tumblr media
And a random kiddie from 1997 as Rickon Stark (yes, it's from George of the Jungle and no, i don't care)
Tumblr media
Bonus: Hans Matheson as Theon Greyjoy (age 24)
Tumblr media
BONUS bonus (drumroll please...)
Sienna Guillory (22) as 1997 Daenerys Targaryen!!
Okay, I'm cheating a little bit because all the following shots are from Helen of Troy which came out in 2003, but she still looks like a perfect Dany at 28, and she was acting in the 90s but didn't get any major parts. She would totally have been 1997's Big Breakout as Dany!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Here is a shot of her from the 90s for comparative purposes)
Tumblr media
(By the way, anyone wanting to do this for the 70s so we can have Sissy Spacek Dany?? Or is it just me)

Aquatint of well-heeled bad boys Tom & Bob "Catching a Charley Napping" from Real Life in London; or, the Rambles of Bob Tallyho, Esq. and his Cousin the Hon. Tom Dashall &c. through the Metropolis; Exhibiting a Living Picture of Fashionable Characters, Manners, and Amusements in High and Low Life by an Amateur, illustrated by by Messrs Heath, Aiken, Dighton, Brooke, Rowlandson, &c.
This was a knockoff publication plagiarizing characters from the hugely popular Life in London; or, The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis by Pierce Egan, illustrated by George and Robert Cruikshank, 1821.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See above the frontispiece from the 1823 edition of Egan's Life in London and the corresponding Finish to the Adventures of Tom, Jerry, and Logic, 1871 edition (originally published 1829). And check out the cheery row of dancing grim reaper charleys—night watchmen—at the bottom, having got the last laugh after all.
I could not find Life in London available to read online, but Gutenberg has Real Life in London (1905 edition, confusingly attributed to both Egan and the wonderfully named John Badcock—though Gutenberg notes that the actual authorship is uncertain).
Tumblr media
I leave you with "Jerry's admiration of Tom in an 'Assault' with Mr. O'Shaunessy, at the Rooms in St James's St."

4 historic gas lamps in Covent Garden, London, have been listed! 🎉
Street lighting fuelled by gas began in London. By 1823, public spaces across the country were lit by gas. There are now around 1,300 working gas lamps in London, with around 270 in Westminster. Of these 270, about half are currently listed.
The 4 lampposts along Russell Street are part of a collection installed around Covent Garden in 1910 to mark the beginning of King George V's reign.
They have been listed at Grade II as a result of a pilot project by us to help inform ongoing discussions about the management of gas lamps in Westminster and beyond.
The listings have been welcomed by Nickie Aiken MP,  The London Gasketeers and The Victorian Society who have requested the protection of the capital’s early streetlighting. We'll work with City of Westminster on their maintenance.
📍 Covent Garden, London | Grade II listed.

Steve/Bucky WWII era Masterlist
2005, 2012, And a Whole Lot of the 1900s In Between (ao3) - bashfulpenguin T, 10k
Summary: AU where Peggy Carter dies before Steve Rogers wakes up from the ice and her daughter, tells stories about how her mother was gay. Obviously, people ask if Steve knew and she explains that of course, he did. Now Steve wakes up in 2012 and has to deal with the world knowing he was gay and the threat of Hydra.
Collected Letters (1930-1943) (ao3) - brokentoy, triedunture T, 16k
Summary: The collected private correspondence—unedited, uncensored—of Steven Rogers, later known as Captain America, and his longtime companion, James B. Barnes, spanning the years from childhood to World War II.
dancing on my own (ao3) - biblionerd07 G, 1k
Summary: George Aiken's been a pub owner a long time--not much escapes him, not even the way that dark-haired soldier looks at his friend when he thinks no one's looking.
For the dead there is no story (ao3) - hansbekhart N/R, 24k
Summary: Twelve days ago, Captain America had landed in England, on a ten stop tour to cheer our boys in service, one of the first USO shows to ever brave the front. Seven days ago, Captain America had gone AWOL in Italy after learning that the 107th had been decimated, and many of its forces captured by the Nazis. Three days ago, he arrived back in the Allied camp, having crossed thirty miles of heavily fortified enemy territory with nearly two hundred POWs in tow, chief among them one Sgt James Barnes.
"Well that - that does rather sound like Steve," Mother says.
-
Or: the Barnes family, during the events of The First Avenger.
Orders came for sailing (ao3) - Ark E, 2k
Summary: Bucky drops into the trench. It’s pitchy black, and he’s good; there’s no warning save the displacement of air. Steve is wedged into a sentry stance beneath the earth, on guard and half-awake, when he feels Bucky come in like wind.
“What’s the secret password?” stage-whispers Steve.
“It’s ‘fuck off.’” Bucky displaces more air, wending Steve-wards. “Didn’t wanna startle you. Hoped you were gettin’ some sleep. You don’t sleep enough, Steve.”
“Whose fault is that?” Steve says, smiling under the ground in the dark. “C’mere.”
Pianissimo (ao3) - Odsbodkins E, 15k
Summary: Steve and Bucky from the 30s to 1945. Inspired by an Avengerkink prompt about Steve and Bucky hiding their relationship.
Sincerely, Your Pal (ao3) - lettered M, 65k
Summary: "[...] lesbians and gay men writing letters to their lovers and friends faced the special problem of wartime censorship. Military censors, of course, cut out all information that might aid the enemy, but this surveillance made it necessary for gay and lesbian correspondents to be careful not to expose their homosexuality. To get around this, gay men befriended sympathetic censors or tricked others by using campy phrases, signing a woman’s name (like Dixie or Daisy), or changing the gender of their friends. Sailors became WAVEs, boyfriends became WACs, Robert became Roberta. There must exist, hidden in closets and attics all over America, a huge literature of these World War II letters between lesbians and between gay men that would tell us even more about this important part of American history." - Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women In World War Two, by Allan Berube
Stars and Moons (ao3) - likeshipsonthesea G, 2k
Summary: “Where did Captain America learn to steal a car?” “Nazi Germany. And we’re borrowing. Take your feet off the dash.”
*~*~*
On a hot day in Germany during World War 2, the Howling Commandos, and more specifically Bucky, teach Steve how to steal a car.
Strangers in the Street (ao3) - crinklefries T, 15k
Summary: (Every five years, Bucky meets the same tall, blond stranger.)
Subjective Histories (ao3) - Odsbodkins M, 11k
Summary: Extracts from materials relating to the official biography of Steve Rogers (A Kid From Brooklyn, Yale University Press, 1999)
The More Things Change (ao3) - Skew T, 9k
Summary: As far as Bucky's concerned, neither Steve's transformation or the events of the war have changed the friendship between them. However, when a mission doesn't quite go to plan, he finds himself making a foolish decision that might change things forever. (NB: contains cartoonish violence, some use of period-appropriate offensive language.)
there's nothing left of you (ao3) - notallbees E, 22k
Summary: Bucky’s having a hard time reconciling Captain America with the friend he left behind in Brooklyn. It’s bad enough that every time he closes his eyes he sees the inside of a torture chamber. Now, every time he opens them again, he sees a stranger with Steve Rogers’ eyes and smile.
the secret circuit home (ao3) - ftmsteverogers E, 3k
Summary: In which Bucky escapes Azzano on his own with the other Howling Commandos, rough around the edges, but alive. He makes it back in time to watch Captain America's godawful performance, not knowing that it's his best friend up there in tights.
Then he hits on him after the show.
to memory now I can't recall (ao3) - Etharei E, 102k
Summary: While on a mission storming a HYDRA facility, James Buchanan Barnes touches one of the many strange alien devices collected by the Red Skull. He does this, in fact, twice— in the past, and in the future.
Next thing he knows, Bucky Barnes is opening his eyes in the 21st century, which is full of great gadgets and coffee, and at least includes his old pal Steve. (And, inexplicably, a different Stark.) Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier finds himself in the middle of World War Two, helping Captain America hunt down HYDRA (which is at least familiar), pretending to be Bucky Barnes (which is not), and figuring out the very noisy group of soldiers who call themselves the Howling Commandos.
You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To (ao3) - EmilianaDarling E, 26k
Summary: “What about you, Barnes?” asks Dugan. The sound of his voice brings Bucky back to the present, dredges him out of memories of a beat-up little apartment with sunlight streaming in through the windows. “Got yourself a girl waiting for you back home?”
There’s an answer on the tip of his tongue, one that he’ll deliver with a cocky grin and a half-laugh and a little shake of his head. But Bucky is exhausted and hungry and so sore it hurts to move, and one of the guys in their platoon fucking died yesterday. His mouth tastes like iodine water and his feet hurt and none of it’s going to get better any time soon, and all at once Bucky misses Steve so badly he can barely see straight.
“Yeah,” Bucky declares abruptly, the word escaping from his mouth before he fully realizes what he’s saying. “Yeah, I do.”
