🇺🇲 Step back in time and experience the roar of the iconic AMC Javelin, a true legend of American muscle cars! Introduced in 1967 by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Javelin was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured across two generations, spanning from 1968 through 1970 and then from 1971 through 1974 model years. It was designed to compete in the pony car market segment against rivals like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro.

🚗💨 The AMC Javelin burst onto the scene in 1968, showcasing a sleek design and powerful engines. Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin offered a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car variants to high-performance muscle car models. Its distinctive appearance, featuring a long hood and aggressive stance, turned heads on the streets and racetracks alike.

🏭 Besides being manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were also assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Australia, showcasing its global reach. American Motors even offered discounts to U.S. military personnel, leading to many Javelins being exported overseas.

🛞 Under the hood, the Javelin packed serious power. It was available with inline-six engines or potent V8s, delivering thrilling acceleration and speed. The AMX variant, equipped with a 6.4-liter V8, boasted over 300 horsepower!

🏆 The AMC Javelin wasn't just about looks—it excelled on the track too. It competed in Trans-Am racing, demonstrating its speed and agility. In fact, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency. Today, the Javelin's unique style and racing heritage make it a sought-after classic among collectors.

💔 By 1974, the automobile landscape had shifted. While other manufacturers downsized engines in response to changing market demands and fuel shortages, the Javelin's big engine option continued until production ceased in November 1974 amidst the Arab oil embargo and declining interest in high-performance vehicles.

🦅 The AMC Javelin embodies the spirit of American muscle cars, blending style, performance, and affordability. It's a timeless classic that continues to capture the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. Get ready to hit the road and experience the thrill of the AMC Javelin!

i am pretty excited to meet weirdo minnesotans in a few years that dont recognize the new flag because some other submission was better

#i will be one of them. submission F22 was better #a little cheesy but the river bank / lake shore symbolism is too good #moreover more foolproof. what if minnesota finally takes over wisconsin. then our borders are changed and our flag is made stupid

May i ask about your headcanons for states as kids, just whatever you want come up with, I'll share mine

I think a lot of the states had accents speaking English as kids

Florida would definitely just combine the weirdest food, if there's a weird food that every state is eating it's because Florida found a really good one and made it a trend

I personally imagine texas would sleep(or try to) in a pillow nest, his hair would also be very unkempt and his hat would be oversized

Gov has been overly professional forever and has made a fool of himself, i imagine the states were adults already and whenever they even slightly take him seriously they remember the ridiculous things he said as a kid and laugh

They all definitely commit violence upon each other, especially after Christmas with the bonk stick

YES YES, them as kids is such a fun thing to think about

States as kids

Mass and Penn were bitters, you get too close and you got 50 unknown viruses 

Jersey is a forest rat

York and Jersey would swim in the Hudson, no one knows how they are still alive

Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Oklahoma would go hunting together, yes they were about 8, what about it?

If Jersey talked too fast he would stutter or switch to either Dutch or Swedish, he wouldn’t notice the language switch until York told him

Florida and alligators, need I say more?

California was very food picky, most times Texas would cook something for him

York and Jersey would go between each others homes for dinner every weekend, York’s grandparents loved to introduce Jersey to different Italian foods, Jersey’s mothers would do the same to York but with Dutch and Swedish foods

Penn and Virginia would have other states watch Gov during the week, with Mass, Vermont, and Maine watching him on the weekends

Jersey and Del weren’t allowed alone, they would go onto boats and try to take them over, just two probably 7 year old's successfully taking over a British ship

Minnesota and Michigan would trick Wisconsin by swapping places, like the parent trap but with a fellow child and it’s just that child that would fall for it

Florida and Jersey would refuse to believe that English was a real language, when Louisiana came along, he too refused to believe it was real, Jersey was never able to convince Del that it wasn’t real but he was close

York and Jersey were inseparable when Jersey first met Mass and Penn, Jersey couldn’t really understood the English they spoke because accents so York acted as a sort of translator, translating English to different sounding English

I'll be honest, I could probably make this list way way longer but I think this is long enough, might do another list to get more of these down

#welcome to the table #wttt #wttt new jersey #wttt new york #wttt california #wttt florida #wttt massachusetts #wttt michigan #wttt minnesota #wttt pennsylvania #wttt vermont #wttt maine #wttt texas #wttt alabama #wttt oklahoma #wttt mississippi #wttt delaware #wttt virginia #wttt louisiana #wttt wisconsin #wttt gov #that is a lot of tags #is it clear i like jersey? #cause i think i made it clear i like jersey #i wanna do more of these child headcanons #they are fun to think about #kyi requests

When you live away from your family but made too much of a thing you don’t drink

#it’s those two cups of Bacardi this ALWAYS HAPPENS #also I’m not trying to hate on college kids but #I live in Wisconsin #the jokes are true #I just think this is a BIT too much for a small family get together :’D #with any luck I can barter for jams… #for anyone curious it’s coquito #I made it once and now they ask me to make it every year which I don’t mind #I just don’t drink alcohol #a bit of the virgin ver. is nice in coco tho

Last year... or last last year I guess, when I voted in the midterm elections the line to vote was about an hour long. Snaked through two floors of the building it was in.

Our new polling place is in an old fire station? And it's small. I mean there was basically nobody there but the hallway where there would be a line had enough room for maybe 10 people tops. More than that and you're waiting outside.

Which means the presidential election in November is going to be a fucking nightmare if they do it in the same building.

I don't know what the hell they were thinking. My small corner of the city has about 12,000 people living in it. Obviously you don't have to vote at the closest polling place, but most people DO.

#bet the businesses on brady street are gonna love having the sidewalks blocked #but hey at least you can go get dinner and/or drunk after you vote #really want to know who made that call though #like god help everyone if the weather is bad but it'll be NOVEMBER in wisconsin so you know

[reverieaudios]

Are you planning on introducing any characters with other accents in the future? /genq /genuinely interested :)

Yep! There's going to be a character in Dion and Kane's storyline that's going to have a bit of an accent, but I'm still working out what he's going to sound like lol

I've kind of also wanted to do something slightly Slavic, and I wouldn't be surprised if I did another vaguely southern sounding one. But yeah! I imagine there'll probably be more in the future! I'm always open to suggestions too, if there's something people would be interested in hearing

#asks #reverie audios #I kinda wanna do a midwestern accent but like as a joke because when I do I just hear some family members with their thick wisconsin accents #and giggle #its not a bad accent but I just associate it with #“Oh fer sher fer sher you betcha bud that ranch dip'll knock yer socks off. Linda made it fer the packers game and it was a real riot” #“Jim fergot the brahts again and I swear Helen nearly cooked him fer supper lemme tell ya” #this just reminded me of how much midwestern slang I subconsciously use lmao #I havent lived there since I was a small child but it's left its mark

🇺🇲 The Rambler Six and Rambler V8, produced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1956 to 1960, revolutionized the automotive landscape with their groundbreaking advertisements.

💰 Despite a brief sales setback, the 1958 Rambler model witnessed an extraordinary resurgence, with sales soaring to 119,000 units. Building on this success, the 1959 lineup saw notable enhancements, including a redesigned grille, enhanced brakes for V8 models, fuel efficiency optimizations, and the introduction of electric overdrive and pushbutton automatic transmission.

🛞 Comprising 11 models with optional features such as air conditioning and adjustable seats, the Rambler lineup garnered acclaim for its affordability and craftsmanship, securing a commendable sixth position in the fiercely competitive U.S. market.

🚘 Often hailed as the "Kenosha Cadillac," Rambler cars were predominantly manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Notably, one such vehicle belonged to Andy Anderson, the father of Louis Anderson, immortalized in the beloved animated series "Life with Louie" (1994 - 1998).

did you ever watch fargo? it has similar story beats to true detective, at least, season one (it’s another anthology type series, crime focused) there’s a dude in there who i think you’d get a kick out out of… very much quietly intensely batshit insane and Off™️ but somehow presents himself as the sanest one in the room. he’s rust cohle, in a way, but murderer, not detective

Thanks for the rec! Watched S1 over the past week or so. Was good but it frustrated me. Billy Bob Thornton Serial Killer was the highlight, you were right! He was very fun. What a weirdo.

I don't know if it was that I grew up in an area with accents like theirs so I was like, hyper aware They Are Doing An Accent, or that it was based on Coen Brother's work, but a lot of the characters felt... rather like caricatures? I don't know, something about it had a wall between me and it, where I wasn't immersed so they felt like We Are Actors On A Set Delivering Lines Really Well rather than I was in the moment, if that makes any sense. Maybe it was the monologues, Flannigan series can have the same affect to me.

Still, was a really good cast. I needed Martin Freeman to get his comeuppence like three episodes sooner, my god that man could just wiggle out of everything (SPOILER he sent his wife to get shot???? what the fuck is wrong with him. I was screaming SPOILER OVER). I always like it when Colin Hanks pops up in things. Allison Tolman and Billy Bob Thornton fucking carried the whole thing, they were the only two I didn't really get the I Am Delivering Lines With Emotion And This Thick Minnesotan Accent feeling.

Writing was generally tight, too. Good full circle moments and Chekov's guns, pieces came together in satisfying ways. Was fun to be rooting for Molly to catch her killers and for Billy Bob to fucking get Martin Freeman. I think it could have been one episode shorter, or skipped the time jump, to give the police a modicum more competence, they were killing me.

Idk if I'll watch the other seasons, I did enjoy it overall. Might check out the newest one because I'm a slut for Jon Hamm.

#i'm hit or miss on coen brothers so this feels fitting that i was both hit and miss on this #i wonder if i wasn't so familiar with the accent if i would have felt differently about the acting #because i think the accent pushed some slight overacting #and i just happen to be familiar with the subtleties and midwest niceness that lurks underneath those big nasally sounds #to feel like things weren't lining up quite right #that said i super enjoyed the accents lol #my wisconsin accent has calmed down over the years since i've been away but it's not *gone* #so i always enjoy a little dip back in - little wave back at my roots #anyway anon - thanks again for the rec! #sharkneto speaks #ask response #oh my god i almost forgot!! #the surprise kate walsh! #she came on and i was like ''i know you who are you'' #and then she gave a condescending laugh and it tripped my recognition for her ''you're kate walsh!!! :D'' she's always fun #i'm back to ramble more down here #i think my favorite Midwest Content is an episode of This American Life #where the entire episode is dedicated to the story of these two girls in tiny town wisconsin who got switched at birth #and on of the mothers knew and never said anything because she didn't want to Cause Problems or embarrass the doctor who made the mistake #i sent it to all my non-wisconsin friends like ''this right here is exactly what small town wisco is like this is what i grew up in'' lol

Guess who saw fall out boy. They almost didnt get to go on cause a thunderstorm rolled in literally as they were setting up the stage for fob and we all had to wait in our cars for 2 hours and didnt know the whole time if the show was even going to happen but it did. It did and i saw them and im so happy

#i fucking love fall out boy i DONT care about ANYTBING #Words cannot describe my joy when they announced the gates opened back up #we were literally getting ready to leave and the second they announced it the entire parking lot started cheering #the venue fucking sucked though whatever you do do NOT go to the amphitheater in somserset wisconsin #they were not prepared for a crowd that size and they made you feel like it was your fault. staff was not nice #we tried to ask for help cause none of the parking lots had any signage #everyone who seemed like they might know that we tried to ask was like GO THAT WAY. KEEP DRIVING. #like thanks but where is the parking lot. we paid $60 for premium parking but ended up in a random lot anyway
