Ok, now I’m over with travel pics. Thanks for who support my over sharing haha I loved travel to Buenos Aires, I kind discovered a new way of enjoying life and I’m excited to get back already, because I felt kind a connection with this city ( like, a lot of libraries and cafeterias and a vintage architecture? This is for me!)

The knowledge needed to be a bellringer has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. What chimes are played for each holiday, to tell the time, when someone has died, for a wedding, for a baptism, for each mass, what would be played to alert a danger, how to take care of the bells...
The 21st century is seeing many traditional jobs get lost. But not the job of the bellringer. Though the bells that tell the time have been automatized, other chimes are still done manually. Many towns have a strong tradition of bellringing and have been passing down their knowledge, but to ensure that no town is left behind, the Guild of Bell And Carillon Ringers of Catalonia is starting the Joanetes School of Bellringers.
Starting in autumn 2023, every Saturday for a year the aspiring bellringers will attend class in the village of Joanetes (pictured above, in Comarques Gironines, Catalonia) and will be able to practise with the village's Medieval church's bell tower.

For reasons that have everything and nothing to do with the most recent chapters of I&S, I've been thinking a lot about a time travel AU that I will absolutely never write.
Specifically, I want a time travel AU where little-kid!Zuko (age 9-10) travels forward in time and meets angry-teen!Zuko (we're talking like... the Book 1 egghead version of angry-teen!Zuko here). I know that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen, but the way I envision this playing out is:
Teen!Zuko and kid!Zuko meet, and after a healthy amount of confusion, figure out that they're two different versions of the same person. Kid!Zuko is... not thrilled to be stuck on a rickety old ship with a much grumpier version of himself, but hey! Uncle Iroh is here, and he's got lots of board games and even more free time, so it could be worse. Teen!Zuko, meanwhile, is having a bit of a crisis as he gets slapped in the face with several realizations all at once.
Realization #1: A warship is not a good place for a 9-10 year old boy to live, but there's literally nowhere else in the world where kid!Zuko will be safe. For as long as kid!Zuko is stuck in this timeline, teen!Zuko has to look after him.
Realization #2: Oh, shit. No one has seriously fucked up kid!Zuko yet. His life obviously hasn't been perfect, but this is pretty much the peak of kid!Zuko's sweet-and-innocent phase.
Realization #3: ... as fucked up as teen!Zuko's life has been, he desperately doesn't want to be the person who fucks up kid!Zuko's life.
Cue teen!Zuko scrambling to get his shit together so that he can be a reasonably healthy and stable guardian/big brother figure for his younger self. He starts working on his temper and trying to take Iroh's advice more seriously, and while things don't always go smoothly (kid!Zuko definitely picks up some vigilante tendencies from teen!Zuko. There may or may not be sightings of a tiny Blue Spirit causing trouble up and down the Earth Kingdom coast), teen!Zuko eventually figures out what he's doing. He puts in the work to become a decent role model, he deals with some of his own shit (and his outlook on life improves), he grows to see kid!Zuko as the little brother he never had, and he generally doesn't fuck anything up too badly.
Basically, looking after kid!Zuko teaches teen!Zuko self love (but with extra steps! I don't think grumpy-teen!Zuko could ever learn anything the simple way 😂)
All of that growth makes it harder and harder for teen!Zuko to ever envision himself returning to the Fire Nation. After all, if he wouldn't put his younger self through the pain of going back there and dealing with Ozai, why should he put his present self through that? And on a related note, kid!Zuko definitely has questions about teen!Zuko's scar and banishment. When teen!Zuko reaches a point where he's able to think about the Agni Kai, he can't imagine anything that kid!Zuko could ever do to deserve that kind of treatment, which leads teen!Zuko to question whether he deserved it. And as teen!Zuko starts to come to grips with the fact that he's probably never going back home - certainly not if it would mean putting kid!Zuko through the same pain that teen!Zuko experienced there - he has to start considering what other options he has for the future.
Kid!Zuko may or may not accelerate teen!Zuko's redemption arc even more by befriending various members of the Gaang and dragging his 'big brother' along to meet his new friends/disappearing for a few hours with his new friends only to be 'rescued' by teen!Zuko who is... very surprised and very awkward about it when he realizes who kid!Zuko is hanging out with.
There are obviously lots of time travel AUs out there already, but apparently this one is just going to live in my brain for the forseeable future 😂 As much as I love the standard "post-redemption!Zuko meets Book 1 Zuko and mentors his younger self to accelerate his own redemption/drags himself kicking and screaming toward redemption" time travel AUs that I see around the fandom, I think I'm just hungry for a time travel AU where pre-redemption!Zuko doesn't know what his future could look like. To me, there's just something really appealing about the idea of a time travel AU where his redemption gets accelerated not because he knows his life will get better if he becomes a better person, but because he wants to be someone who his younger self can be proud of.

Tim's home in San Francisco
Based on his address, seen here:
Tumblr media
Neighborhood:
20th Street is located in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. It is "serenely nestled in the middle of the Mission District". It is on the eastern side of San Francisco.
During the 1960s, Potrero Hill became a hub for many artists and members of the LGBT community. It was desirable for its location and affordable rent at the time. It was a thirteen minute bike ride from 20th Street to Castro-Mission Health Center.
Also, just some fun information: 20th Street is also a six minute car ride to San Francisco General Hospital. By foot, it's eighteen minutes. By bike, it's five minutes. I'll bet Jerome let Hawk borrow a bike so he could get there as fast as possible.
Congressional Districts:
From February 18, 1964 to January 3, 1975, his congressional district was the 5th district.
Then, due to redistricting in 1975, from January 3, 1975 to January 3, 1993, his congressional district was the 6th district.
During the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, his congressmen were brothers Phillip and John Burton. From 1983 and onward, his congresswoman was Barbara Boxer. All three of them were democrats.
State Senatorial Districts:
From January 2, 1967 to November 30, 1976, his senatorial district was the 9th district.
Due to redistricting in 1976, from December 6, 1976 to November 30, 1984, his senatorial district was the 5th district.
Due to redistricting again in 1984, from December 3, 1984 to November 30, 1996, his senatorial district was the 3rd district. His state senator was Milton Marks, who served as both a republican and democrat.

The front entrance doors of San Benedetto in Catania are made from wood panels carved with scenes from the life of St Benedict. They were made in the early 18th century.

Oh ok so just illustrated a story about the sudden careless way people just. Die. After fighting and surviving abd being so many things and touching these lives in ways youd never thought you'd see. And now he's dead. Its ok. Its ok. Its ok its ok its ok its ok its o
i think this is a tams ask bc of when you sent it (PLEASE correct me if im wrong oh god) but yeahhhh. yeah like it was really important to me with yuze that his death was very... uneventful. like here is this old man who has lived a long, cruel life full of bombs and blood, and in the end the cold got him. there wasn't anything for him to fight and nothing for him to protect himself. and unfortunately that is the reality for a lot of people in his situation

yeah I mean he probably isn’t bothered and does expect it but it’s kinda annoying that it’s expected in the first place I guess. I know that’s the celebrity way but honestly the way some people act around famous people sometimes is so weird to me (just speaking in general, not calling those girls out or anything it seemed pretty chill and nbd but yeah)
yeah I get what you mean. I mean I'm gonna be honest I can't imagine dan from bastille gets stopped a ton lol.
idk I have loads of opinions about fan/celeb interactions and I think the main issue is when people genuinely feeling like a celeb is their friend or that they're kind of in on fandom jokes etc. like its always gonna be a weird dynamic when person a thinks they know person b really well and to them person a is a literal stranger, but i think as long as people respect boundaries and are brief and polite then it is what it is ig
