omg! i wanna do a few:
top 5 dc characters!
top 5 comic series!
top 5 animals!
OMG hi ella!!! 🫶 OH THESE ARE HARD
Top 5 dc characters (omg I feel bad ranking them)
Duke Thomas - who’s surprised 😭 no but he’s without a doubt my fave bat. i think there are just so many inspiring things about him, and he represents the aspect of comics I love most - stepping up and doing what’s right even when all odds are against you
Carol Ferris - I used to talk about her 24/7 when I was heavy in my GL phase, but I never stopped loving her. I love that she’s deeply flawed and angry and passionate, and she gets to be messy. Also she influenced me to be more comfortable expressing myself femininely which was hard as a brown girl ngl anyways carol <333
Ollie Queen - LMAO idk why but I feel so cliche putting him, but he’s my favorite Arrow and he always has been. I relate to him a lot. He’s really introverted, in his own head despite being is outspoken, he loves nature, cares deeply, and he isolates when he’s sad. I also like his very black-and-white thinking, esp when it gets challenged. live laugh love ollie queen
Talia Al Ghul - I won’t say much about her lmao bc talia stans are like sharks here, but she is also very important to me. Like you ever get that character that just seizes your heart???? Yeah that’s Talia for me 🥺 i don’t post abt her often either, but i love her sm
Khalid Nassour - it’s hell being his fan, but i’ll do it anyways 😭 so Khalid is rlly interesting bc i read his “cool” appearances first then read Dr Fate 2015 where he was more of an annoying 22 yr old. And it was so satisfying watching him grow from someone who was more narrow-minded and whitewashed to an intelligent, capable, and enlightened person. I really enjoy his character’s spin on what fate means in regards to one’s identity, heritage, lifestyle, and faith.
Top 5 comic series (THIS IS ALSO HARD OMG)
Day of Vengeance - this is the one currently living rent free in my head rn bc it’s so FUNNY and random, but also a really interesting storyline in regards to magic in the DCU. It’s just so enjoyable watching this group of mystics handle the hugest threat ever and barely get along, and they’re all weird, and then Lori joins and she’s like the group teenager and it’s so funny
We Are Robin - I honestly wish it was longer ngl but I really wanted to see more of the group together and their stories, especially Izzy and Dre. The premise and duration of this story is SO dear to me bc ofc Duke, but also I love watching kids band together against authorities bc they love their city sm.
Batman: Son of the Demon - as a Talia and sometimes Brutalia fan, how can I not 😭 It’s so sad and actually heartwrenching how happiness was so close to them but taken away, and how much Bruce and Talia sacrificed for each other because they are both loving people, they just love in the wrong way
Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters - perfect Ollie. Perfect depiction of his mind. Really good storytelling. SHADOOOOO she served cunt and dc didn’t like that so they ruined her. Her initial appearance was so charming i literally made it my header. I like ethical dilemmas and the one in this story is so good. Also shoutout to Eddie fr
Green Lantern: Blackest Night - OKAY THIS IS THE ONE I WAS AFRAID OF SHARING 😭 I’m SORRY i love this for so many reasons, nostalgia mostly bc I re-read it over and over again at the peak of my hal obsession era idk why, I like the giant white entity, I like when all the Corps leaders have to team up and they’re all side-eyeing each other sm, and I also love when random heroes get involved and help save the day like Mera, Ray, Barry, Diana, Grant, watching them all try to survive it while battling grief in front of them. It is NOT THE BEST GL COMIC EVER but it’s one of my faves.
Top 5 animals (I love this question!!!!)
CATS 🫶 I used to have a cat when I lived in the states!! his name was austin, he was 8 years old, and he was the cutest thing ever. we had to give him away when we moved 😭 i still hate that my mom did that sm
SEALS!!!!!!! 🦭
Orcas 🐋🐋🐋 I like them a lot, they’re so adorable
Otters!!! 🦦
Flamingos 🦩 (hehe my username for a reason) they’re pink and i like all things pink also they’re so pretty

Ask Game!
I have been tagged a bunch of times for this game (@caroll-in @shealwaysreads @swymsuyt @lou-isfake thanks buddies!!) so I figured it was time to give it a go lol 🥰
1. why did you choose your url?
it was October when I was setting up my digital art instagram, and Kate Bush's perfect song Babooshka was stuck in my head on repeat. It seemed to fit (also I'm living that grandmacore life amiright)
2. sideblogs?
This is a sideblog lol. I've got another one that I forget about constantly, and that has a bunch of articles and references on it.
3. how long have you been on tumblr?

4. do you have a queue tag?

I wanted to post my HP art! Esp bc my spouse had just published The Ordeal of Being Known, and I wanted to fangirl about them lol.
6. why did you choose your icon?
It's the first bit of Drarry art I did when I got my iPad in September 2020!
7. why did you choose your header?
it fits the color theme of my blog, and who doesn't want to look at super muscled Harry Potter?
8. post with most notes?
this one! 🎉which is kind of funny because i made that post just because I had done three different portraits, and really liked the eyes on them. I think that post is the only one on this blog that I made completely as a silly little nothing, and somehow it's the most popular lol.

Day 2 Dart: ’68 Dart GTS Full Day-Two Restoration
In previous decades, getting your driver’s license, like buying your first car, was a rite-of-passage into adulthood. It represented freedom, and in many ways became extensions of who we were. It was especially nice when your elders embraced that rite and encouraged it. That was the kind of environment that Pennsylvanian Ron Merkel was raised in, so in 1980 when he hit the ripe age of 16, he notes, “My dad suggested that I needed to buy a car, and my response was that it would have to either be a ’69 Road Runner or a ’68 Dart GTS.” While Ronald Sr. was agreeable to a point, he did say, “No big-block.” That wasn’t a deal-breaker because Ron had a soft spot for Darts in general and the ’68 GTS model in particular. “ There is just something about those side marker lights, those body lines, and that car that enamored me, he explains.” It didn’t take long for him to track down what he was looking for, and back in the cyber-free days that meant looking in the local paper and combing through the car ads. Two weeks and 900 bucks later, he had found the Dart of his desires not far from where he lived. It was a ’68 Dart GTS decked out in Bright Blue with a black interior and backed by a 340 small-block and a TorqueFlite transmission.
The Dart was daily transportation for the guy selling it. It had suffered the usual indignities that happened back then, like air shocks, aluminum slots, and side pipes — otherwise it was bone stock. The paint was starting to show some signs of age and the habitual rust spots in the lower rear quarters were there as well. At that point Ronald Sr. stepped up to the plate and told Ron that he’d have the car repainted by a friend who owned a paint shop, so it didn’t make the trip home the day it was put in his name. It was taken to a friend’s shop for a repaint. A few weeks later the Dart was wearing a fresh coat of blue — not exactly Bright Blue, but a generic shade that was close enough. It was at that point that it became his daily driver, which was around the middle of 1980. A big win for Ron right after getting the Dart on the road was that he was finally going to be able to use it to take his new girlfriend Brenda on their first date to the local Burger King — which later became one of the defining moments in his life.
In December of 1981 Ron backed the Dart into the family farm as a new chapter in his life began when he entered into active duty in the military. His dad didn’t think that driving it across the country was a good idea. That meant buying another car, so he kept it in the Pentastar family with the purchase of a ’75 Road Runner for use while he was stationed in Colorado. After a stint in Germany with the military, he returned home to another Mopar. His dad was using the Road Runner, so he bought the ’74 Cuda his sister was selling, and that became the daily driver while he was in school. After the E-Body, there were a number of other Mopars in his stable over the years while the Dart sat dormant in the barn. Ron freely admits, “I always just assumed that I would come home, fire it up, and drive it around town. There was nothing wrong with it beyond just being dirty.” As is the case with many cars that get parked, the responsibilities of life take precedence and they get put on the backburner indefinitely. In his case that span would last 31 years.
The spark to get the Dart moving again is a testament to Ron’s supportive family as it was his mother, Carol, who planted the seed in Dennis Kohr’s ear to nudge Ron to bring the car in. Dennis is the owner of Kohr’s Kustoms in Myerstown, Pennsylvania, and at his shop the only language spoken is Mopar, so that was the right place for it to go. Also stepping up on the motivational pulpit was his wife Brenda — yes, the same Brenda. She encouraged him to “do it right” with a no-expense-spared attitude. With that blessing in place, in 2012, Ron pulled the trigger and sent the Dart off to Dennis for the rotisserie restoration he felt was overdue. The goal, however, wasn’t to bring it back to the day it rolled off the assembly line. He was looking for a tasteful period-correct Day-Two mix that’ reflect his tastes as a teenager.
Once Dennis started ripping into the Dart it became clear that all those years spent in hibernation gave the car a lifeline. As the paint was peeled back and the bare body exposed, all that original sheetmetal proved to be in exceptionally nice condition with very little rust — a rare occurrence on an A-Body. As the months passed and the body came together on the rotisserie, Dennis eventually took it into the spray booth to lay down the two-stage basecoat/clearcoat QQ1 Bright Blue PPG paint. After that it was a slow process in putting the car back together. For the interior the plan was to keep it stock so he cracked open the Legendary Auto Interiors catalog and ordered a fresh set of seat upholstery, door panels, and a headliner, while Auto Custom carpets supplied the carpet. The only deviation on the stock theme was the installation of the obligatory column mounted Sun Super Pro tach.
Day-Two carried over to the 340 as well when it was torn down for a full rebuild. It was all original right down to the late 1967 date-coded bearings. For the rebuild on the 340 mill Ron had Hammaker Enterprises in Grantville, Pennsylvania, lined up to do all the machine work. Since the vision was Day-Two, that meant that some changes would be taking place. Once they had block ready for the rebuild, the plan involved utilizing the stock forged crank and stock rods with a .030-overbore to make sure everything was round and true, along with the installation a set of Speed-Pro 10.35: 1 forged pistons. The camshaft would also deviate from stock with a healthier COMP Cams unit spec’d at .488-inch lift, 274/286 duration. Moving to the upper end of the engine, the X heads were resurfaced and given a new set of Ferrea 6000 series valves and COMP Cams springs. Those heads use a 2.02-inch intake valve and a 1.60-inch exhaust. A vintage Edelbrock LD340 intake manifold sits atop those X heads and a 600cfm Edelbrock Performer carb distributes the fuel, while the Mickey Thompson valve covers are vintage pieces that Ron had stashed away decades ago. The exhaust side of the rebuild saw the stock manifolds give way to a set of TTI headers running back to 2.5-inch TTI H-pipes and Flowmaster mufflers with YearOne repro tips. Keeping it close to home, Allen Kohr did the rebuild on the original TorqueFlite with the addition of a 12-inch torque converter with a 1,800-stall speed. The same attention to detail carried over to the suspension. It was given a full rebuild but was kept bone stock right down to the drum brakes at all four corners. One change that was made was the replacement of the 3.23:1 open-end rear with 3.55:1 posi.
As the pieces for the car came together, most of the exterior trim was restored and used, however, the front and rear bumpers, along with the front grille didn’t make the grade, so new quality replacements from AMD were sourced. Visually, one of the defining elements on the ’68 Dart GTS is the Bumble Bee stripe, so that was also reapplied, but it wouldn’t be a proper Day-Two restoration without the right set of vintage-looking wheels and tires. For that correct look and improved performance, Ron chose Cragar SS wheels and BFGoodrich Redline radial tires. The front wheels measure 14×6 and wear P215/70R14 rubber. At the rear, 14×7 wheels run on P225/70R14 tires.
Bringing his Dart back to life took almost three years to complete, and he was finally able to drive it home again in October of 2015, however, it was hidden until July of 2016 when it was unveiled at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. “The Dart is an old friend,” Ron explains. “It represents my youth, my commitment to my wife, family, and job. It has defined me for nearly four decades.” It’s no longer a barn resident, and it has also made a return trip back to Burger King.
