Honda HP-X, 1984, by Pininfarina. The concept car that inspired the Honda NS-X has been restored 40 years on from its presentation at the Turin Motor Show. Honda will exhibit the rebuilt HP-X at the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance later in August. Though the concept was a static prototype Honda envisioned the concept with a mid-mounted naturally-aspirated 2.0-litre 24-valve V6 from Honda’s Formula 2 program

No skeletons or constructs of any kind on the Mithraeum which leads me to wonder what kind of unholy chore wheel they're operating under. We know everyone cooks (more or less) but who is doing dishes. Who is dusting the ossuaries. How many decades of accumulated grime have to build up before Gideon, Saint of Duty, pulls on the marigolds and gets to work.

#tlt #the locked tomb #gtn #i choose to believe that mercy's own rooms are absolutely spotless and tidy #but she would rather die than pick up after anyone else on principle #augustine will put an empty glass down in a room and then simply not use that room until it's been restored to order #john tries to clean once every three hundred years in a fit of mania and does a really piss poor job at it

Inside the shop L'Art del Vitrall in Sabadell (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit, Catalonia), where the artisan stained glass maker Joan Serra i Renom (born 1952) works.

In the photos above, Joan is restoring some stained glass from the Euterpe theatre-cinema, built in Sabadell in 1893 and demolished in 2006. Joan works with stained glass in historical buildings that are still standing, but has also saved and restored stained glass from demolished buildings from the 1800s and 1900s.

restoration is good (TO ME) because after 12 years we finally get to see carolina gather the clarity to understanding tex. just as carolina was beaten down, when we don't have sarge or wash to guide us, it happens.

tex saves us. the woman who failed defies fate and saves the day.

#tex's whole story was about not being her own person and she was forgotten as if that was true #but it's not true. i think caboose being the one to choose tex over church. to remember tex as her own person #to have cared enough about her. to remind us that tex was never just church's ex or just a freelancer or just a bamf #but that she was someone who was cared about. who was loved. she cared so much only to be abandoned #and yet. and yet. the reds and blues didn't see it that way. she was a part of them. despite it all they were her friends #and i'm so happy that we got to see the show itself be reminded of that. that tex was her own person.#she was valued and she was loved. i think carolina seeing tex return made her understand this.#carolina got to see the tex she never allowed herself to see: a tex who cared about her friends.#a tex whose strength was those around her. the allies she made. carolina sees herself in tex.#and it finally allows her to let tex go. carolina says goodbye for the first time and it's to tex.#the last remnant of her mother and she lets her go.#idkidkdikddidkddk carolina and tex make me wanna chew on glass or something i cannot believe burnie burns came in clutch at the last second #to give carolina and tex that closure. to give tex an ending on her own terms. that's why restoration is GOATed it's flawed but it's earnes #like....BURNIE BURNS??? of all people??? giving us closure on carolina AND tex at the same time??? BURNIE BURNS??? it sounds made up andyet

when an obsessed orufrey person plays ace attorney for the first time in a while

#witch hat tag #orufrey #you know those times when the defendant is still in shambles at the end of a case because it was not a clear-cut thing #but you get to present one Special Sentimental piece of evidence that proves not all is lost #qifrey's breakdown would be like... he turns up calm and pleasant like dahlia kristoph gant etc but very quickly:#well first he's hiding his scar so you have to use the bracelet and also you find out about the seal on his hat using that.#eventually he is throwing water that comes out of nowhere like that coffee prosecutor guy. and his cape starts billowing #the more he breaks down his neck thingies start coming undone btw. To represent his descent into guilt and his LIES becoming undone.#course as the player i have already used my magatama and seen his 35894 psychelocks. but theyre those BLACK psychelocks #representing his repressed memories taken by the brimhats. also his glasses shatter out of nowhere when you keep presenting evidence #and tartah's testimony etc. and the player is like UHH this guy is A PUPPET MASTER but coco's heartfelt testimony commands the tone #and of course he's someone who has been twisted and damaged by trauma like adrian andrews. the mastermind is of course the brimhats #only me with my magatama knows that... only i can do it. It has to be me.....#just like how as the reader i can see everything about qifrey and i can hold him dear as much as i judge him #whereas if i were oru things would not be ok unless memories can be restored and mentally ill decisions can be illuminated #WELL ANYWAY !!!!! what i appreciate about ace attorney is its ability to mix silliness with seriousness #i cant usually make jokes about serious heavy heartbreaking stuff in witch hat because it is all very intense emotions for me #but i appreciate ace attorney's mix of sincerity and psychological pain and the inherent silliness to being a character in a situation #so.....Get Iguin on the stand. Now. BAILIFF.. TAKE OFF THE MASK #i would most love to be able to prove qifrey's eyesight is failing. hed be like I have no reason to pursue the brimhats (smiles pleasantly)#and it would be like You're lowering your gaze.. proof that the court lighting is too harsh for you..!#his glasses would crack at that moment btw. I used apollo's bracelet and saw the glyphs on the glass.#I know all about u. and i will save u

part of the process of learning to take responsibility for your actions is learning what things you can't take responsibility for. not just to protect you (e.g., from your own feelings of guilt; from people taking advantage of your willingness to take responsibility by attributing blame to you unfairly), but because to take responsibility is not just to say "it was my fault and i'm sorry" but to actually do things (to make amends and to mitigate and prevent future harm), and if you don't understand what to take responsibility for, you aren't going to understand how to take responsibility.

there is a lot that's outside of your control. people put a lot of emphasis on forgiveness in a way that i think is missing the point. being forgiven is not my priority. my priority is that i am doing what it is in my power to do. i can't control how that's received. i'd like it to be received well; i'm doing what i'm doing because i want to repair harm that i have caused to another person, so it matters to me if what i'm doing is actually achieving that goal or not. but there's only so much that i can do to achieve that goal, and if i'm doing it, and the harm is not repaired, that's okay. that's beyond my control. i have to make my peace with the fact that i've caused harm to another person that is not resolved, because i'm doing what i can and i have to continue living on this earth, and in continuing to live i'm going to be living with the fact of that unresolved harm. the most important thing at that point is for me to use my knowledge of the specific ways in which my actions harmed that person to change my behavior going forward to avoid causing that harm again, to the extent that that's within my power.

it doesn't do anyone - you or the people you have harmed - any good for you to assign responsibility to yourself for things that you can't control. if you're going to attempt the active work of repair and change you have to first identify what it's possible to repair and change. you can't actually repair a relationship all by yourself! you can only change your own behavior. you can only offer amends to the other person that they may or may not find sufficient. not to go all serenity prayer on you but guilt for the sake of guilt just makes you feel way more powerful than you actually are (because you think that everything happened because of you) and at the same time completely incapable of exercising your power (because you don't understand what your power actually is). to effect change you have to focus on the things you can actually change. focusing on the things you can't change is a problem not just because it's taking your focus away from the things you can change, but because it means you don't actually understand the sphere of your own influence. you're operating under what is essentially a self-centered worldview in which you could make everything better, you could prevent all harm, if only you were trying harder, if only you were a better person. who does that serve? it doesn't reflect reality. it makes you hate yourself and feel sorry for yourself at the same time, and it doesn't actually improve things for the people you harmed. it doesn't help keep you from harming people in the future, because you don't understand the territory and the limits of the causal relationship between your actions and other people's reactions to them.

you can only do what you can do. what you can't do, you can't do, and you can't take responsibility for doing, either in the past or present. after you realize that there is harm to repair the next step in the process of repair is to ask yourself what your responsibility is for the past and what your agency is going forward. everything else will follow from that. you simply cannot skip that step.

#this is so hard to think about and talk about because it's so nebulous. it's comforting to have some hard and fast rule instead #'take responsibility for the harm you have caused' sounds good but what does it actually mean?#you are responsible for your harmful actions. you can't be responsible for the actual feelings of other people #it obfuscates what you can actually do. which makes you think that you are both all-powerful and #powerless to make amends or change #but adding any nuance to the discussion just sounds like apologism. and could easily be used by bad actors (e.g. abusers)#to justify their completely insincere attempts to apologize and change #accountability #responsibility #restorative justice #guilt #learning and growing #apology #forgiveness #wow i have a lot of tags relevant to this haha #my posts #you can tell i gave up on sleeping and got out of bed because of the absence of typos which means i have my glasses on #fare thee well to my theoretical night of restful sleep. hello day before me that i have to navigate on three hours of sleep and #terrible head neck and shoulder pain :/

dollblr... today I struck gold.

I saw an ad for a booth at a local antique mall that had some Monster High dolls, and decided to go check it out.

Your eyes do not deceive; I found Clawdia Wolf, GiGi Grant, and Catrine De Mew. All for 25 bucks a pop.

As I went to leave, I stopped at a separate booth... and found..... her

28' inch, Frightfully Tall, Skelita Calaveras. 3 interchangeable eye colors, missing hands, no clothes or accessories, and slight nose damage.... I got her for 45 buckaroos. Most of these go for 70+ in the exact same condition.

(size comparison)

Best... Thrift trip... EVERRRRR

#monster high #monster high doll #monster high dolls #gigi grant #clawdia wolf #catrine demew #skelita calaveras #I obviously am going to take them to the Doll Spa and redo their hair like their originals.#One side of Catrine's glasses are gone #but I can sculpt a new one... probably...#Skelita will be my biggest challenge but god am I excited to try and restore her #Im gonna look for spare parts first to try and find her hands buuuut idk #Def gonna have to make her own clothes. Maybe replicate her OG dress n skirt? Or find something prettier to put her in. indecisive.

I've had something like that museum post I reblogged floating around my head for months now but I couldn't quite find the right words to get the idea across.

It was gonna be something about like, walking into a natural history museum to look at all the cool rocks on display, then going outside and looking at the Moon, and realizing that it too, is kind of "a cool rock on display". The parking lot tarmac is a cool rock on display. The dirt on your shoes is a cool rock on display. The Earth is a cool rock on display. Everything is on display, if you'd just look at it.

Something like that.

#spend enough time looking at all the exhibits and gets you thinking about the glass cases and the carpet and lighting and the brochures #all that stuff is part of the story too #i think more museum placards should be self-referential #this is neil armonstrongs boot from when he stepped on the moon #its spent fifty years in this glass case and been restored twice #this is the fourth glass case its been in #this placard has been revised twelve times since the boot went on display #you can find the previous eleven placards in the g wing #etc etc #my thoughts
