I see you! Lighting up my likes and reblogs.
<3 your artwork. Who are some of your favourite artists here? I would love to look them up.
Take care and enjoy your day. w
Ohhhh I have put this off for so long because naming favourite artists feels like such a big responsibility!! But I will name some I've been especially fond of lately, at the very least! Here's a selection of just twenty amazing artists/creators that I've been admiring in just the last few weeks:
@90snoe 💖 @cherrrysthings 💖 @thetriangletattoo 💖 @369sec 💖@cerulou 💖 @wendersfive 💖 @specklelouis 💖 @bi-80-s 💖 @lebesyej 💖 @bluewinnerangel 💖 @moon-sun-thyme 💖 @harrysmaison 💖@evenasyoungastheyare 💖 @handgf 💖 @harryshandbag 💖 @pridesobright 💖 @swimmingleo 💖 @ladychlo 💖 @whatagreatproblemtohave 💖
And the thing is, is I could also easily draw up whole paragraphs of why I love each of these artists, but then I get very worried that I am going to make it look like I love some artists more than others, and then I get very stressed so I'm not going to do that, at least not this time around.
Also please know that I could easily name another thirty that I love at least. There are so many great artists in this fandom and my terrible short term memory gave me these names first! But my fanart, edit, manip, and fan comic tags are full of them! Also twitter is very very scary but my twitter is almost exclusively retweeted fanart. ALSO also everyone in my following tab on my instagram are or have been at some point 1D fanartists!

When it comes to breeding and selling - idk how breeders do it, cause I've already fallen in love with this lil cutie and she isn't even mine 😭❤️ she's definitely the yard favourite tho (sorry tinkerbelle) so whoever ends up buying her is gonna be one super lucky person
Tumblr media
Ngl, if on the off chance she doesn't sell in the next 2-3 years 👀 I might consider branching away from my luso-owning dream and snatch her up for myself cause she's utterly perfect 🥰 she's definitely bred to do either dressage or even eventing/jumping with being a totilas x regardez moi x God has spoken (blackfriars) cross, and I'd reckon she'd give working eq a pretty good crack too

I hope Zak Brown (🤢) gets booed loudly and constantly this weekend.
I hope Australian fans are getting together as we speak to plan anti-McLaren chants.
I hope he’s nervous to go to Australia.

TV Week / TV Times cover gallery.
Tumblr media
TV Times was and TV Week is (it’s still going) two popular TV publications that competed against each other in the 1960s and 1970s in Australia. Local and international celebrities adorned the covers
Tumblr media
Above: Belinda Montgomery from Bewitched and an autographed David (Man from Uncle) McCallum cover.
Below: They may have been television guides but when Beatlemania exploded they knew that putting the mop tops on the front cover could dramatically increase sales. This issue features the lyrics to 10 Beatles tunes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Above: I think this is promoting the NEW Phil Silvers Show that came about in the 1960s.
Below: British actress Hayley Mills.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Above: Mod Squad was popular in Australia and Peggy Lipton was invited to The Logies as a special guest. The Logies or Logie Awards (named after TV pioneer inventor John Logie Baird) are an annual awards show for the best in Australian TV. Michael Cole also attended the awards a few years later and caused a minor scandal when he got drunk and swore on stage.
Tumblr media
Above: Ann-Margaret
Below: Get Smart was phenomenally popular in Australia. Episodes were repeated endlessly into the 1970s and 80s
Tumblr media
Below: Skippy the Bush Kangaroo was a Children’s series that became iconic and gained international appeal.
Tumblr media
Below: TV Wrestling was also hugely popular in Australia and featured local and international names. Look at those faces. Mario Milano was a local legend.

The Incredible Adventures of Cinnamon Girl
Tumblr media
Melissa Keil
🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎(10/10) (leave me be, its one of my favourite books, I’m very biased)
PG/13+ (some swearing and references to things – it’s a country town high school)
So, as established, I am exceptionally biased when it comes to this book. It is one of my absolute favourites, and one of my top 5 comfort books ever. The fact that it’s Australian is an added bonus (although probably not an un-influential factor on it being such a comfort book. (Do people from other countries get the same ‘oh I forgot this could be included’ vibes when reading books or watching movies from their own countries? As opposed to the permanently US based major media? Because that’s a BIG thing with Australian media).
This book is the story of Alba, who on top of all the anxieties about ‘what do you do after school’, and ‘I don’t know how I feel about leaving the only town that I’ve ever known’, has to deal with the fact that half the world thinks the apocalypse is coming, and so is not in her town, and maybe life is changing a little faster than she expected.
“I thought I had more time!” “But what if you don’t?” is definitely the main theme of the book. But, not in the way that it would sound. This is actually not an apocalypse book. This is a small town Australian reality fiction book. Trust me, it makes sense when you read it.
Favourite character:
As much as I love Alba, Grady might just be my favourite character. Only slightly though, I love them both pretty equally! Also I love Daniel, but I feel like that’s marginally more a plot thing than a character thing, he annoys me but I do still love it at the end. So yes. Grady-and-Alba but marginally more towards Grady. Also I have an exceptional soft spot for Eddie. But we are getting off topic.
Favourite quote: 
This is so hard, I love so many lines in this!  So, in no particular order:
“Since I am, as I have mentioned, rubbish at storytelling, I may have telegraphed the above from a bazillion miles away. But honestly – at the time – who could have seen him coming?”
“Daniel giggles, an ancient, maniacal sound of his that I remember way too well.”
“Mum takes one look at me as I hurtle into the kitchen, and she grimaces. “Uh-oh. Them’s fighting clothes.”” (I love the ‘them’s fighting clothes’ so much ok)
“I want to make plans. But I just don’t know how to make myself jump on this arbitrary schedule the universe keeps trying to set for me.”
“Visions of my fabulous adult life usually involved sharing a light-filled artists lift with Ramona Fradon, or building my own Iron Man suit. I guess its easy to dream about things that are abstract, or impossible.”
Also honourable mention – the “do you need tea” scenario kills me ever time.

Never met a horse who likes their jaw/the branches of their jaw scratched and stroked as much as this 'lil' 3yro wb filly of my coach's (she's nameless currently but I really like D'vali/Dvali or Dvalin - and yes, that name is from genshin lmao, I love that fucking dragon)
She's so funny, but so deeply suspicious of everything 😔 we're trying to make friends with the flyveil, but unknown to me, it's actually a facehugger who will clearly kill her the second it comes into contact with her face 🙄
*wow, tumblr really nuked the quality of that video 😬*

the more well-known the agency confronting you is, the less trouble you're usually in. like if it's the cops at your door, it could just be a noise complaint. FBI might just be there for tweets. obviously, still bad, but... here, a comparison. if you have a run in with the CIA you're probably in trouble, but if you have a run in with the Office of Naval Intelligence then you've definitely fucked up. did you know the USPS has its own investigative force? and you might be thinking like, oh, as in some dudes in baby blue button-ups who search for missing mail - but no, these are uniformed, armed federal agents with all the authority that entails. they've got squad cars and such. and, like, these guys are serious. back in the late '80s to the early '90s, when electronic mail sorting first started to be rolled out, there were consistent issues with the machines having trouble scanning letters. it wasn't a super common problem, but it happened a lot, in multiple states. anyway, the USPS eventually realised two things - first, that the problems persisted even after the machines themselves were replaced (at great expense); and second, that they were really limited to michigan and some surrounding states, with only rare occurrences elsewhere which might be unrelated. anyway, that was enough to get the United States Postal Inspection Service to take interest. if somebody was sending dangerous materials though the mail which were messing with the scanning machines, it was probably endangering postal workers too. this was pre-9/11, so the idea it was terrorism wasn't taken too seriously, and the investigation didn't get much support. anyway, it takes months of waiting for machines to break down, cataloguing the mail they'd been handling, cross-referencing it, etc, to narrow down the source of the mail to somewhere south of detroit. kinda goes cold for a while, since the mail's scanned in big batches and finding the common link takes a *lot* of data and work. anyway it's like october '91 now and they think they've finally got it. they've found a specific batch that's tripping the machines up, and they're going over it with a fine-tooth comb when an agent's pager starts freaking out. after experimenting, they realise that whatever's fucked with the scanning machines has also fucked with the pager, and they realise it might be putting out radiation. biiig 'oh shit' moment. they isolate the whole batch and get a big medical checkup, but they're alright. geiger counter picks up nothing. what they *do* find, however, is that there are like 60 letters in there that are each putting out small amounts of non-ionising EM radiation. so, basically safe to handle, but together they're enough to flip some bits in the janky '80s tech they've got and cause occasional scanning errors. and, get this, they're all from the same address. they track this place down, and it's this guy running a sort of bird sanctuary in his backyard. he's australian, and sells like, courses for avoiding getting attacked by birds - and he spends a lot of time hanging around these birds, right? so they take the guy in for questioning, and they literally can't even have recording equipment on the table with him without it glitching, he's almost cooking popcorn here. they question him, and he tells them about his business, how he like, teaches people specific hand gestures to scare away birds and whatever, and they start grilling him on whether he's been exposed to any chemicals or anything, because of the letters. and the guy, when he hears about the letters, suddenly goes like 'ohhh', and explains. cus he gives people grades on their performance and sends them a handmade certificate after they complete the course, right? so they're like 'why the fuck are your letters irradiated' and he just tells them 'Thats My Crow Wave Gradiation'
