My trusty steed Sbubby (my outback) is geared up and ready for our 9+ hour drive tomorrow! I'm saving listening to the album for the car. Took me three days to fucking get my brain together but once I'm in the car I'll be fine!

Have these trash cans lost some weight? Slim-style cans were spotted outside the Westward Ho Trading Company shop in Disneyland's Frontierland. Unlike other slim cans spotted at WDW and Disneyland's Main Street, these aren't tampered at the top. // Disneyland Resort, Disneyland, Frontierland, Westward Ho Trading Company, 2022 [Source: Disneyland_On_Film.

Have some more Beren-Lúthien-Finrod from @allthatglittersisnotgoldrush! I decided to finally get my design ideas for Beren and Lúthien down, and I ended up including Finrod too, just to complete the trio of portraits loll XDD

I tried to keep Beren’s clothing simple; it’s very loosely inspired by the Pacific Northwest tribes, and I also looked at a bunch of vintage photo portraits of Indigenous peoples to get a general feel for that time. And I couldn’t help but include Beren’s braids again ^^;; I imagine the first painting is after he’s grown his hair out, so Finrod offers to braid it for him (whereas the second painting is during his time in Doriath)!

For Lúthien’s Spanish-inspired dress, I remembered this line from Tolkien: “He peered between the hemlock leaves / And saw in wonder flowers of gold / Upon her mantle and her sleeves ...” So I figured that either Melian or Lúthien could’ve sewn the flowers on! One of these days I’ll give Lúthien a more Chinese-inspired design with some lovely gold flower patterns <333

Last is Finrod! I actually don’t have much to say about him loll But his vest is from Pharmakós, and his frock coat is just one for travelling that I imagine he wore on the way to Doriath XDD

Narated by Fess Parker who was a Disney Favorate, who portrayed Davy Crocket and Jeff York who was Mike Fink in Davy Crocket and Joe Crain in Andy Bernett. The Cast also included Iron Eyes Cody, who was later famous as the Indian with the tear in his eye, Iron Eyes made a career of portraying Indians, claiming to be a Cherokee when he was actually an Italian American actor. As is common they make the Pawnee Indians the Bad Guys, as was also done in Dances With Wolves, and Little Big Man, while in reality the Pawnee were so prayed upon by larger tribes like the Lakota and Cheyanne that they allied with the white settlers and often came to their rescue driving off attacks by the hostile Lakota. I remember seeing the film when i was a boy back in the 1950s. Back in thoes days TV and movies taught kids to be proud of their history and heritage.

Westward Ho! Sunset

I didn’t have any phojo this morning to go out and make pictures so instead I took a look through the archive to clear up some of the old junk. Imagine my surprise when I came across this little gem from 2020 that I had completely ignored up until now. Just a tiny bit of editing to remove a dust spot and brighten the whites and it’s come up nicely. I really like the hint of pebbles in the…

Lost Word Of The Day (13)

to gnathonise - to toady or flatter #lostwords #obscurewords #logophilia

How much has the English language lost as a result in the decline in the familiarity with the classical literature of Ancient Greece and Rome? I began musing on this when I came across the verb gathonise which was used particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries to describe the actions a toady or someone who excels in the art of flattery. Gnatho was the name of a character in Eunuchus, a play…

Ji Ho's Therapy Game It starts -> here

It's a two day ride to the east from the Castle to Goldshire and the Princess took her time to get to know her future subjects. The Royals need the good publicity after the righful Heir had to leave. And the folks liked her a lot. Like Ji Ho in real life, the mermaid princess radiates sunshine and gives everyone around her the feeling of being welcomed and accepted and loved. It just feels so good to be near her. The word had spread that Princess Jihovere would visit Goldshire and so the Mayor and the dwellers already awaited her eagerly. (Well not exactly everyone, given Martha's face ^^' Is she jealous?)

Vendor: "The Princess is here!" Stefan: "She's even more beautiful than on Social Bunny!" Sara: "Aouwww I love her outfit! I bet the Queen chose it!" Mayor: "Welcome your Highness! We are delightfully at your service!" Martha: "Tch!"

After they greeted each other, the Princess showed the photo of the statue around and asked if anyone had seen this man. She didn't tell them who he was, though, to not turn them against her (should they still believe the hate posts about the reightful Heir's descent are justified) and to not start unnecessary rumors about her supposed marriage with Prince Caleb. One step at a time. The Mayor told the Princess that, a while ago, a handsome stranger visited Goldshire who looked alike the statue. He had no money and made a secret about his status so they quickly sent him westwards to the Castle so the Queen could verify his status. Mayor: "I hope he didn't cause any trouble at court? We would be devastated if." Princess Jihovere: "No. Not at all. He is a dear friend who went missing." Mayor: "Oh. We should have treated him better then. I apologize. To be honest, he acted like a criminal and he insisted to work for the sculptor! No one works for the sculptor." Princess Jihovere: "Don't worry. You did nothing wrong." And since Vlad found his ingame version molded in stone, they still need to know what happened to NPC Vlad after Vlad left Goldhire and logged out - so she also asked about him, but everyone claimed there hadn't been another stranger around lately... weird.

Meanwhile Stefan cared for Yang Mal. Which is also weird, the Princess expected Lou to. But he wasn't around and his shop was closed...

The dwellers prepared their most famous vegan dishes for the Princess and they had a delicious meal together. Sara interrogated Princess Jihovere about the latest fashion trends at Court. Gia laughed: "Let her breathe ^^' " But the Princess didn't mind. (Martha in the background still sulking ^^')

When the Princess asked about Jack, the mood turned gloomy. Everyone here likes him and they hope he will return back to Lou soon. They are so sweet together 💞 But no one had a clue why Jack ran away.

Suddenly an upset rooster interrupted them and shooed them loudly cackling over to the Sculptor's shop.

Where the bat was! But the shop was closed too and Sara told Princess Jihovere that the Sculptor left Goldshire to visit his partner in Bacalao Bay. She also spilled that many here think the Sculptor is acting suspicious. He is a witcher and it is said he keeps company with the underworld - demons and stuff. Hence anyone in their right mind refuses to model for him ö.Ö'

Sara sent the route to Bacalao Bay to the Princess' phone. It isn't far away.

It wasn't that late and Princess Jihovere said goodbye to reach Bacalao Bay before dusk. It sounds too promising to lose any more time! Maybe the sculptor knows how to find the demon that stole Jack's heart! After the Princess left, the village folk met in the pub to discuss the Royal Visit. (No photo of Martha and the Princess ^^')

They posted their selfies with the Princess on Social Bunny and got lots of likes and reblogs for their sweet pics🐇👑💖 And (almost) everyone agreed that the kind and beautiful Princess was the, by far, best choice to marry their future King. (Whoever it may be o.o)

And the radio in the Lion's Pride Inn was playing:

'When I'm lonely, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you And when I'm dreamin', well, I know I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you When I go out, well, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you And when I come home, yes, I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you I'm gonna be the man who's comin' home with you But I would walk five hundred miles And I would walk five hundred more Just to be the man who walked a thousand Miles to fall down at your door'

Let's hope the Princess comes home with her King 💕

I'm gonna be (500 miles) - The Proclaimers What a coincidence, again a MV with Johnny Depp. This song was the title track of 'Benny and Joon' in which he played Sam. (This is also the song that played in a loop in Marshall Eriksen's car in How I Met Your Mother. And: the song that played in a loop in Rita's truck when the Boys went on their first weekend trip to Henford! ^^')
