tape, cardboard, and newspaper!!!
to go a bit more into detail on this - from what I understand, this was on display* in a house for a number of years. This particular piece comes from the home of the harbormaster (a lovely man), and was exposed to light and about 50+ years of cigarette smoke. The boat in the photo is an early ferry in my area, and the cardboard it is mounted on seems to be some sort of church(??) yard sign(???)
we are still deciding the best course of action for this piece, but in all honestly, as a smallish museum/historical society with a laundry list of pieces with urgent conservation needs, we don't have the manpower to do anything other than keep it in a dark and temperature controlled space.
There are a lot of things that make me sad when I see pieces like this, because its so easy to see how important it was to its former owner, and it hurts me that we can't pour all of our time and resources into every piece that needs help. There are pieces even in this intake (which I cannot show because they contain identifying information about my location) that will be prioritized as they demand more immediate conservation efforts. Time can be a cruel opponent - and all we can do is our best.
anywho!!! all this is to say Support your local historical society!!! they are trying their darndest to preserve your local history and can't do so without community support! (and support does not always mean money!!! genuinely just interacting with your local historical societies can mean so much)
*I am unsure the specifics of where/how long it was on display for

@_@ yeesh, some comments on other sites about how i made uzi's skin tone.
it's like ppl forget her dad's name is khan lmao.
even if it weren't his name, it's sad that ppl need an excuse or feel they HAVE to ask at all. only cause it's not what they consider the 'default'. ah well.

my hands will be bloody if garth is in that titans movie without his big purple lookers.
we should start smaller... like him being in the movie at all 😭😭😭
No but thats so real i NEED those purple eyes or else i know everything they could ever say about him will be wrong. Cause being a purple eyed freak is his thing. My hierarchy probably goes purple eyes > dark hair (titans show my detested) > curly hair (> freckles etc etc whatever else).

For any Canadian/East Coast peeps please remember to wear masks outside!! This air quality is WORSE than when Fort McMurray burned!!
Keep an eye on your children and grandparents and pets! They’re all especially prone to smoke inhalation!
If you get any nosebleeds you can put a tiny bit of petroleum jelly in your nose to keep things from drying out, and lip balm is a good idea too. Sunglasses won’t save your eyes completely but they do help if you have to go outside!
Any yard work or exercise can WAIT. Going for a run WILL hurt you. If your house is too smoky, turn on your air conditioning (if you have it) and go to a shopping centre for the day. I think they opened the cooling centres in Ottawa which is apparently getting hit super hard so you can also head there to get a break!
Please please be careful out there folks!

i feel like east blue polycule fic might be intimating to people who think writing 5 characters is a lot because thats how it was for me but i can personally assure you that at least in my case it is WAY easier to write them as a polycule than splitting them off.
dymanics flow much more naturally, and when i talk on this blog about east blue polycule content it comes down to not only does east blue polycule stuff accurately recreate canon but because of that, because these characters are meant to be digested as a group and almost all the character writing done for them is group writing, so its actively easier to write them as a group as opposed to having to account for the absence of other characters because youre not straying from the group character writing that takes up so much of one piece.
