Volvo Amazon 122S Cabriolet, 1963, by Jacques Coune. The Volvo 120 series left the factory in 2 and 4 door saloon form and as a 5 door wagon. The Belgian coachbuilder began making open roof versions based on the 2 door saloon. His workforce was largely made up from Italian craftsmen who had left Italy during an economic downturn to seek work elsewhere in Europe. Coune had plans to make 5 cars per year but an improving Italian economy meant that only 4 cabriolets and 1 roadster were made before many of his workers returned to Italy and production ended

Things that sillily make me happy: the fact that in the official Buffy chess set they released, Buffy and Angel are queen and king chess pieces.
And, I mean, it just makes sense that they would do this, of course. As it looks like this set was based on early season two, as Spike and Drusilla are the king and queen pieces for black.
But Buffy and Angel being king and queen pieces works so well, since they're paired together, of course. And equal to each other... and a battle couple. And more than anything, this is great because the queen's the most powerful piece on the board and Buffy's the most powerful character in the series, of course. And her being more powerful than Angel just tracks. Because she canonically is. And this makes me think of the many times where she saved him and he was the damsel.
Anyway...
#buffy the vampire slayer#bangel#i was looking at this set on ebay again. in thinking about christmas gifts for people#also i found out that there are three buffy board games. four if you you want to count that the unmatched buffy set that doesn't fully coun#but meh#i had thought there were three when i was browsing lately but now i know for sure. there's also an ats one. so if you want to count that#and not see angel as its own thing there are actually four#still bummed. though. that the ats expansion of the one buffy game got canceled on account of covid:( it sounded so cool#i'm also not counting the buffy chess set as a game: i'm meaning board games here. if you want to count the buffy chess set then#there's even more#basically (not counting the chess set) it looks like there was this one buffy game and then that game did a spinoff angel game#then after that (i think) there was a legendary version of buffy (legendary is a game series oc)#then after that there was a new buffy game that got an expansion set and then was going to have one more expansion set in the form of ats#but covid sadly ruined that plan:(#and then there's a game called 'unmatched' and there's a set you can get of that that adds buffy characters to the game. but the game itsel#isn't a buffy game#though don't quote me on this... (because i have not played the game) if you only have the buffy unmatched set perhaps it would just be a#buffy game. but it's not set out to be a buffy game or anything like that#i do know two people who have played the buffy unmatched set and really enjoyed it#me myself i've played the third buffy game i listed here (the one with one expansion and was supposed to have an angel one) and it was fun:

Do you have a favourite season of Taskmaster?
It's series 6!! I'd say how can I choose, but I do, it's series 6!
Tumblr media
I love alice levine! I am SO CRAZY about tim vine's weirdness! Russel Howard has something wrong with him! There's plenty of great tasks. I love the spoons. I love the secret stationary shop one.
It's fun how everyone has a different fav season. I understand 6 isn't one of the top ones, but it is for me. I often start a rewatch binge there.

on the other hand, being anxious about (objectively stupid, irl things, that i know aren't important and are definitively just manifestations of my insecurities) meant that i did not have ANY religious/existential panic at church and actually was comforted by the motions and routines of it all which like....rarely happens anymore....so that was nice????

Baldurs gate 3 act 3 SPOILERS for Karlack and Gortash backstory😩😩👏🏼👏🏼
Kinda interesting how Gortash was sold as a kid
Then he grew up probably thinking «okay well guess people sre nothing more than a coins worth».
Sold Karlack cause thats okay for him. Yknow like trauma effect.
Kinda fitting Karlack considiering Soul Coins.
Conclusion: the typical money leads to power

Learned that Cassiel, the angel Castiel was based on, guards Saturn, so here are some headcanons that formed
-He and Agiel (the other seraph who guards Saturn) worked together to make it and its moons
-He’s also the guardian of one of the palaces of Heaven (unclear which one), so now in my headcanon each planet in the solar system has/is a gate to a subsection of Heaven.
-Castiel created the rings of Saturn by accident when he made a new moon too close to the planet and it got destroyed. Everyone thought they looked cool so they were allowed to stay
-The shepherd moons in the rings are like his zen garden
-He keeps making moons out of boredom and silent competition with whoever guards Jupiter. Moons Georg
-whatever the heck is going on with Janus and Epimetheus’ shared orbit was him putting them too close to each other and finding an unorthodox way of fixing it. The Virtues hate him for it. They draw straws whenever it’s time to make them turn around.
-His favourite moon is Enceladus and he likes to chill in the underground oceans when he wants alone time
-He hates Mimas because of the horrible screaming noise it makes. He and Dean watch Star Wars and when it gets to ‘that’s no moon’ he says ‘Ugh, why is Mimas in this’. Maybe it’s where they keep Zazel (demon of Saturn).
-Headcanon Agiel and Castiel are the angel equivalent of twins, but they have a yin-yang thing going on.
-Castiel is the goth one, being the angel of solitude and tears and also an angel of death.
-Agiel’s wings are different shades of silver
-As an intelligence angel, Agiel is a chatterbox and a major nerd. Unfortunately they also work for Naomi :(
-I am about to turn them into an OC

Volvo 122S Amazon Roadster, 1963, by Jacques Coune. In addition to four 4-seat cabriolets Coune made a single 2 seat roadster version of the 120 series for a friend. Alas the unique Volvo roadster was involved in an accident and destroyed
