Milestone Monday

March 25th is Tolkien Reading Day, a day to honor the literary prowess of J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) author of acclaimed high fantasy novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien has shared that the seeds of inspiration for his novels came from his childhood fascination and experimentation with constructed language and a 1911 Summer holiday hiking through Switzerland. Roughly fourteen years after his Swiss adventure, Tolkien would write The Hobbit and the first two volumes of Lord of the Rings while teaching in Oxford.

Stepping slightly away from Tolkien’s novels, today we’re digging into our broadside collection and sharing Bilbo’s Last Song (At Grey Havens), a poem about leaving Middle-Earth. It first appeared, as seen here, as a poster published in 1974 by George Allen & Unwin Ltd., the original English publisher of his famous novels, with illustrations by Pauline Baynes (1922-2008), who illustrated many of Tolkien's publications. Chronologically, the poem takes place at the end of the last volume of Lord of the Rings, however it was never included in the series.

Ranger's Apprentice Charcters at an annual family gathering

(yes, they are all a family now)

Will and Gilan: The cousins that pretend to not have seen each other for a year. In reality, they see each other at least twice a week. They greet each other extremely loud and hit each other on the backs in a way that leaves marks. After that, they run around, do impressions of other family members, or get up to other shenanigans.

Horace: Without fail, he's somewhere near the cake buffet. He talks with everyone near him, gives ratings on the different cakes, and after his latest victim left, he turns to Sandra and Pauline and asks how he is related with that person

Pauline and Sandra: They chat the whole time and agree on pretty much every topic. They also do the passive-aggressive children comparing (i.e. 'My son just graduated and started a business. What's your kid up to?') They always say they should meet up and chat more, but never do so.

David, Arald, and Duncan: As soon as the evening comes around, they're the dads that go BBQing outside. With a beer in hand, they will chat while making actually pretty decent food. Also, they will BBQ every year without exceptions. They don't care if there's a blizzard. It's just some cold water after all, that can't stop them. Also, Gilan and Will occasionally try to sabotage them, which always ends up being entertainment for all. The three also insult each other heavily, but brush it off like it is nothing.

Cassie and Alyss: From afar, they just look like two friends getting along splendidly, chatting away about their hobbies. In reality, they are not talking about their hobbies. Stories about local murders, rape, and breakup gossip get shared like they are conversations about the weather. If you don't need a therapist when walking away from their conversation, you are incredibly lucky.

George: He does not want to be there, he just has so much work to do. He just sits in a corner and is on his phone.

Crowley: He's that uncle with the mission to talk with everyone. He's always cheerful, can merge into any conversation (even Cassie and Alyss') and shares the gossip within the family. He also organises the family gatherings each year.

Halt: He 'hates' the family gatherings with a burning passion. He secretly does enjoy them, but he's got a reputation to live up to. Pauline knows of this, so she 'drags' him along to every meeting. Once they arrive, Crowley immediately starts talking to him and making him join him on his mission. On some occasions, Halt tries to stop Gil&Will's shenanigans, on other occasions, he helps them with them. Their suspicion towards him is one of his joys at this event.

Jenny: She brought the food. Afterwards she just kind of wanders through the room doing everything and nothing at the same time. Once the dads start to BBQ, she sometimes joins them, bringing them spices and such to improve their food. They don't really use them, saying that the way they've always been making the meat is just fine. Jenny is always a little disappointed by that.

Malcolm: Due to his work, he's only rarely at a family gathering. But when he is, he stations himself at one table and does not stand up until the whole event is over. In ways unknown to the rest of the family, he manages every single time to get to Will abandon his jokes, and sit down with him and listen patiently. Some family members (Halt) have been trying to find out how Malcolm does it for years now, but to no avail.

Erak: He's not part of the family, yet he shows up every year. For a very long time, most didn't even know his name, or what made him show up for the first time at the gathering. After 7 years, Arald randomly says in a conversation that he was the one that made Erak join them. When asked why or from where they knew each other, he responded with: 'From nowhere. He just walked by while Duncan, David, and I were outside at the BBQ. I saw him, offered him a beer, and he joined us. Got no idea where the fella exactly came from, but he's a cool guy, in'he?'

Into the Halloween spirit! Time for some Rangers Apprentice Modern AU Halloween Headcanons:

Gilan: Really wanted to go trick or treating. At first Halt wouldn't let him go but then Gilan annoyed and pissed him off so much by asking over and over again and whining that Halt basically begged him to go trick or treating in the end just so he would leave the house. Gilan knows all the best houses and the best techniques to getting the most treats somehow always had the best costumes. Nobody knows where he gets them from. He just shows up wearing them. Brings a pillow case.

Will: Will also asked Halt if he could go trick or treating. After remembering how annoying Gilan could be Halt gave up pretty quickly and just let Will go. When he got "too old to go trick or treating" he kept trying to go with other little kids, pretending to be a baby sitter/supervisor, but in reality he just wanted to have fun.

Crowley: Will decorate everything spookily and has a wide variety of lollies to give out to the kids. Still keeps some for himself. Compliments all the younger kids on the costumes and says that they look "very scary". The entire neighbourhood loves him. He had the best decorations. Each year he had to buy more bags of lollies since everyone comes to him first and runs out very fast.

Halt: Doesn't do much. He only likes it for the scary stuff. He uses it as an excuse to watch horror movies with Crowley. And an excuse to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas. Once Crowley's done with all the kids he basically drags him into the lounge and watches It and other horror movies with him. Also Coraline because why not.

Alyss, Horace, Jenny and George: Go trick or treating with Will. Jenny makes treats and spooky biscuits for everyone. George suprisingly doesn't get that scared by horror and scary things and researches a lot of old horror stories to tell everyone while they are walking around the streets from house to house. Horace calls everyone weak for feeling sick from eating lollies. Alyss. She's just kinda there. I honestly don't know anything that she could do.

Arald: Throws one of the biggest Halloween parties for the adults, and any other kids who didn't go trick or treating. He plays songs like Monster Mash.

Pauline: Gives treats out as well but not as much. She's the type of person who only gives out one or two lollies to each kids, unlike Crowley who gives them like two handfuls. Sometimes raises her voice slightly so the kids won't overhear the screams and gore coming from whatever movie Halts watching.

Yea okay I’m gonna do the Dutch school niveau thingy

(If you don’t want the explanation, go to the green text. It starts there-)

Let’s start with what what means and Dutch people. Please help me with Mavo and vmbo. I rarely interact with them and don’t really know-

So, is dutch people normally go to a primary school for about 8 years. We’ll get tests and at the end a Cito toets. Then they give us an advice.

If it is a little in between (een twijfel geval) we get a mix. For example, I have Havo/vwo and a friend of mine has Havo/mavo.

We have different levels amd different kinds of names for those levels. (If I can’t explain it, I am sorry-)

Vwo- vwo is the highest you can get. This prepares you for the university. It lasts 6 years in total

Havo- Havo is, in my experience, a bit easier than vwo. You can also get onto university with this. This lasts 5 years

Mavo- im pretty sure you can also get into the university with mavo. This lasts 4 years

Vmbo- vmbo is the lowest and you mainly get physical lessons. Like baking, taking care of animals, ect. This also lasts 4 years

(listen, I don’t know shit about this vmbo and had to redo this post like 10 times already. I’m sorry😭-)

Also, these are just the things my school has, so if I missed any, PLEASE CORRECT ME

There are also a few special classes.

Tto- tto stand for ‘twee talig onderwijs’ or in English, bilingual education. Most of the lessons with this are in English and you sometimes travel to another country. There are also exchange programs. Sadly tto is only for Havo and vwo

Sport klas- sport klas is for sporty people. Sometimes the second years prepare sport days for the school. They also get to skip lessons some times to do the sport

Kunst breed- kunst breed is with art. In my school, every Friday the people who filled in the papers for this go to the ACD classroom and make art.

Now finally onto what I think the people would do:

Will: probably Havo or mavo/havo. He might do sport klas but I’m not sure

Horace: mavo sport klas. Listen, this man is pretty good at grammar and begrijpend lezen. He seems like a person to be very good in Dutch if he was dutch

Crowley: havo/vwo tto. If I can do it, this guy can do it too.

Halt: also havo/vwo tto. But I feel like he’d also do kubstbreed

Alyss: vwo tto. Do I even need to explain??

Pauline: vwo. Really liked languages

Arald: mavo and I feel like he and Rodney really liked medieval history. Because you know, knights and sword fights

Rodney: mavo sportklas

Jenny: Vmbo. She is really, really, REALLY good at the cooking and likes to do things with her hands

George: vwo tto. He’s good at languages. Really good. (Please give me your skills, George)

Gilan: he either has like havo/vwo or vmbo. I cannot decide. But of course he does sportklas

01 - Endeavour

Tomorrow would be a big day, [Will] knew. He knew it all too well, in fact. Tomorrow would be the biggest day in his life, because tomorrow was the Choosing Day and it would determine how he spent the rest of his life.

Ruins of Gorlan // Ch 1

it’s about the journey folks it’s about the journey ;-;;;

look at them, theyre just babies but oh boy they have so much potential, and their craftmasters saw that potential and said hey i will care and nuture you and your skills until you can become the best possible version of yourself 💖💖

1938 Peugeot 402 Darl'mat Special Sport Roadster.

In the 1930s, Emile Darl'mat was the largest Peugeot dealer in Paris. After Peugeot pulled out of racing he sought to carry on the legacy particularly at LeMans. Using the 302/402 chassis, he created his own sports car. He clothed it with an Art Deco body, coachbuilt by Marcel Pourtout, from a George Paulin design. The two-liter OHC inline-four made 70 horsepower in road trim and more in race trim. In 1938, three Special Sport Roadsters entered by Darl'mat were campaigned at the 24 Hueres du Mans and won the two-liter class. Customers got their choice of coupe, cabriolet or sport roadster bodies and just 105 were built. (x)
