Say hello to one of my OC's!

Name: Grace Miller

Date of birth: October 29, 1998

Everyday style:80s rock style

Origin/Past:

She was born in New York into a wealthy family. Parents emphasized their situation very much, which Grace did not like very much and led her to frequent rebellions such as shaving her hair, tattoos, sneaking out of the house, etc. She has a lot of hobbies such as drawing, playing the guitar, writing songs, etc. However, she found passion for racing, which she began to train regularly until she became one of the most famous racers, which had both good and bad sides (e.g. many other racers thought she was too childish and frivolous, so she had no friends there. Not even her cousin Rochelle she tried to avoid her) At World (something something) she met Dusty who was the only one who appreciated her character and they quickly found a common language. After the race, she decided to move to Propwash Junction to end the snobbery and start living a laid-back country life without the luxuries she used to have.

Personality:

Early in her career, Grace dreamed of making new friends among racers. She always tried to fit in among them, but no one accepted her passions, which were considered frivolous and unnecessary. This made the woman secretive and lock herself in the world inside her head. After Propwash Junction moved, it became more open. She started smiling more often and even started fooling around. He likes black and slightly perverted humor. She also likes to joke in inappropriate moments, as she wants her sense of humor to lighten the atmosphere. Her confidence and self-esteem improved significantly.

Grace loves going out with her friends, especially Dusty, Chug and Dottie who have welcomed her as a new sister. She surrounds them with care and understanding.

However, she still "flys away", imagining new goals, dreams, etc., which gives life to her artistic side.

Shows interest in an infinite number of things. From games, movies, etc. to history or automotive.

Trivia:

- dreams of releasing an album with Kira Crow (my other OC),

-she is bisexual. She discovered this after one relationship with a man and two relationships with women (failed),

- As children, Rochelle and she were inseparable, but after the girls were 12 years old, their contact deteriorated,

-sometimes sings and plays guitar at the Propwash Junction bar (with Connie McCallise, other OC),

- loves lasagna,

-despite being an adult, she loves Halloween and loves to dress up,

- tries to maintain a good relationship with everyone in the city (she even befriended the firefighters from Piston Peak National Park when they came to visit Dusty in his hometown [she started simping to Dynamite] and she had a big fun with them),

-on Discord he has contact with Mater,

Navigating the Numbers: A Guide to Toyota VINs

In the intricate world of automotive identification, a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is more than just a string of characters. It's a unique identifier, akin to a car's DNA, that holds vital information about a vehicle's origin, characteristics, and history. Toyota, a brand known for its reliability and innovation, embeds a wealth of information within these 17 characters. For Toyota owners and enthusiasts, understanding the VIN is crucial, and resources like VIN Decoding Made Easy are invaluable in this pursuit.

From the first character, which signifies the country of manufacture, to the tenth, indicating the model year, each element of the VIN offers insights into the vehicle's specifications and origins. This knowledge is not just for trivia; it's crucial for proper vehicle maintenance and part replacements.

Classic Car Chevy: The History, Facts and Fun Stuff Chevy is one of the most iconic American brands, and their cars have left an enduring legacy in automotive history. In this blog post, we will explore the history, facts and fun stuff about Chevy cars. We'll discuss everything from their early years to their latest models and show you just why they're so popular. So sit back, relax and let us take you on a ride down memory lane with some classic Chevy car trivia. Classic Car Dealers Tampa Chevy Classic Cars Chevy Classic Cars The Chevy classic car is one of the best-selling cars in the world, and for good reason. The design is iconic, the engineering is top-notch, and there’s something timeless about these cars that makes them popular with drivers and collectors alike. Here are some interesting facts about Chevy classic cars: 1. The first Chevy classic car was introduced in 1937 as a six-cylinder model. 2. Chevrolet became a major player in the muscle car market in the 1960s with models like the Camaro and Corvette. 3. Production of classic Chevys ended in 1985 but they continued to be sold through specialty dealers until 2002. 4. Many famous drivers have owned or driven a Chevy classic car including Steve McQueen, Richard Petty and Dan Gurney. The 1960s Chevy Bel Air The 1960s Chevy Bel Air was America's dream car. It epitomized everything that was cool and stylish during that decade. This magnificent machine was big, bold and beautiful. It had a powerful engine and luxurious features such as an automatic transmission and air conditioning. The Chevrolet Bel Air was first introduced in 1953 as the sporty coupe version of the Chevrolet Impala. The Bel Air name debuted on the 1957 model year car and it quickly became one of Chevrolet's most popular models. The 1959 model year saw a new option for the Bel Air - a convertible body style. Over its lifespan, the Chevy Bel Air underwent several design changes to keep up with changing trends. The 1960s saw an increase in popularity for muscle cars, so the Bel Air got bigger and badder. It also received new options such as a power sunroof and leather interior seating. Overall, the Chevy Bel Air was a very popular car during the 1960s. It appealed to people of all ages because it embodied all the things that were trendy at that time - style, luxury and performance. Thanks to its timeless appeal, the Chevy Bel Air remains one of Chevrolet's most iconic models today! 1970s Chevy Chevelle The 1970s were a time of change for Chevrolet. After several years of product stagnation, the company was looking to recapture its former glory. One way to do this was by introducing new models and design ideas into their lineup. One such model was the Chevelle. Introduced in February 1970, it marked a departure from the traditional Chevy design language. Gone were the blunt lines and round shapes that had characterized earlier cars. The Chevelle was sleek and modern, with angular lines and a sharply pointed nose. Its exterior was only part of the story; under the hood lurked a powerful engine that would make it one of Chevrolet's most popular models ever. Available in both coupe and convertible form, the Chevelle offered drivers excellent performance and style in equal measure. In addition to its looks, the Chevelle also had plenty of features that made it stand out from other cars on the market at the time. For example, it featured an electronic stability control system (ESC) which helped keep drivers safe during high-speed collisions. And because it was built on a sturdy platform, the Chevelle could take a lot of punishment without breaking down – making it perfect for those who loved driving fast but didn't want to worry about their car's reliability whatsoever.

I feel like not that many people watched The Outsider? it's still on HBO,

the reason I want people to see it is so that I can talk about it

I want to talk about how much Cynthia Erivo as Holly Gibney intrigued and delighted me - I liked how it was obvious that Holly's supernormal powers don't include driving: she taught herself. You can see this in the way Holly carefully visually checks her extremities and surroundings when she gets behind the wheel (it's subtle but she does it a lot in the show) and the mental checklist she goes through (people who have them will certainly see them) - even when she's panicking

she drives because she's aviophobic; there's a whole story there in silent imagining: how hard it was for her to learn to drive, but how important also, because she needs to be free.

I also wanted to mention about how she exercises her powers for simple pleasure - I bet a lot of us know all about that. We first see Holly idly staring out a window naming the make & model of passing cars, adding a note of trivia to each one. She's not doing it for anything except to pass the time (and forcing the viewing audience to wonder briefly why an automotive trivia specialist is needed for this case)

Hi! I know it's been a while since you wrote it, but I recently re-read in Flanders Fields, and I needed you to know how much I love it. It's maybe my favourite piece of fanftiction ever, and it has a very special place in my heart. I read it first when it was still being published, and it's been living in my mind rent free ever since. I was wondering if there was anything you left out of it that you wanted to talk abt? Dw if you don't wanna respond to this, it's mostly to let you know how much I loved this fic (and also to try get myself some extra content ;p )

Thank you so much! That’s-- ah, this means a lot to hear. It’s fucking wild that IFF went up less than a calendar year ago, huh? The aesthetic choice to have Neil not wearing a mask in surgery did not age well  One of the things that I really enjoy about writing fanfiction is that you’re working with a reader base who already has a body of information about the characters, relationships, etc., and whatever you change, or don’t change, you can still imply things or have background interactions that don’t requrie as much in-text explanation, because it’s reasonable to assume your audience will pick up what you’re putting down based on what they already know. (It’s why, for example, in BAST from the year before, I was skimpy on the details of Nathan and Lola’s violence, and on Andrew’s abuse. The readers already had the relevant basics, and I tried to toss out enough details about what changed so that, hopefully, y’all’d get the picture.) That said, the reference to Kevin’s tattoo in the chapter with the wine cellar has never sat quite comfortably with me. The scene itself I kept in not just for the trivia (that’s based on a real event, one that I doubt was isolated, of soldiers being ordered to blow an alcohol cache and drinking themselves silly instead), but because I wanted to keep up with the narrative of Andrew protecting Kevin, and also how he protects “his” other people with Kevin as an example. The tattoo was an easter egg to myself, and to the readers, to indicate to us why Kevin was upset, though Andrew didn’t know the specifics. (More after the cut)

But I wish I had put a bit more buildup to that, a bit more backstory. In the fic as a whole I feel it sticks out as a random detail, and I’d have liked to either remove it and find something else to reference, or seed more of Kevin’s backstory earlier, so the tattoo, and Kevin touching it when remembering shit that upset him, wasn’t so-- weird? Incongruous? Because I didn’t include the backstory in the story proper, I had only a vague outline of what Kevin’s life had been like pre-Andrew’s Squad. Therefore this isn’t going to hold up to the level of fact-checking and forehead-creasing-late-night-museum-website searching that I tried and sometimes almost succeeded in applying over the rest of the fic. That said, what was in MY head while writing, was: Like in canon, the Moriyamas set Kayleigh up to be killed in an accident (likely horse-drawn-carriage, though there WERE some automotive vehicles around pre Model-T-Ford), and took Kevin to be, well, Riko’s. Instead of Exy, Kevin was raised to be Riko’s retainer, second, bodyguard...whatever Riko needed. Or wanted. I’ve shunted Riko and Kevin, at least, to England for this, because the US did fuckall in WWI. Kevin endured canon-typical abuse from Riko, including the paired face tattoos, but also excelled in the training and tasks the Moriyamas set him; he was in particular a very skilled shot. Riko did not break his hand (that big ol’ rock from the shell blast did that, whoop), but after a particularly ugly altercation on the eve of war Kevin made his defiant stand by running away and enlisting in the Irish army, not the English, out of loyalty to the mother he barely remembered. It took Wymack a while to track Kevin down after Kayleigh’s death. Once he did, he spent the following years attempting get Kevin away from the Moriyamas. Unfortunately-- though to his credit-- this garnered their attention. As a Filipino man in Britain, he already had difficulty finding work; as a Filipino man who had made himself a nusiance to a powerful crime family, it became impossible. He joined the army to keep from starving on the street, and found to his surprise that he was good at it. He gained a reputation among the enlisted men for being impossible to kill-- for being lucky-- something that provided him with a great deal of dark amusement. Despite continued trying, he did not manage to meet Kevin until Kevin wound up under Whittier’s command. By then he knew Kevin was his child; I haven’t decided how, or when, he found out.
