A copper postcard featuring Saguaro cacti from the Kopper Kard Co. in Salt Lake City, Utah. Unsent. Although the front is made of copper, it is wrapped around a paper card. A brief description on the back reads:
The Giant Cactus (Saguaro) is one of the many varieties of cacti found in the deserts of the southwest region of the United States. The Saguaro is the state flower of Arizona. New Mexico is often called the "Cactus State."

Postcards from Snagglepuss
California Ahoy!
ABOARD THE DIVER'S DELIGHT WITH PETER POTAMUS' MAGIC DIVERS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS AND LA JOLLA, CA: The lure of Santa Catalina Island--as in Avalon Bay, their annual Uncerwater Cleanup, even! What could seem even more irresistable, especially when you have some in the Catalina diving confraternity still recalling when Peter Potamus and Lippy the Lion unearthed from the sea bed of Avalon Harbour an old iron bed frame several years back during the Underwater Cleanup?
"And they're probably still wondering how it got into Avalon Bay, to begin with!" Lippy remarked when I brought up that pre-pandemic episode, adding "And it just seemed odd that me and Peter managed to so stumble upon it!"
Yet even then, the Diver's Delight's flight path from Charlotte Amalie, the Virgin Islands' capital city, to the Magic Divers' home base at a secluded cove near La Jolla, was bound to cross a decent part of northern Mexico, rather close to the border even ... which, once we crossed the Gulf of Mexico, seemed a little stunning. Especially when we managed to fly over Copper Canyon (Barranca del Cobre), said to be a serious rival to the Grand Canyon for sheer spectacle (and Huckleberry Hound was pointing out where he read somewhere that Copper Canyon was twice as deep as the Grand Canyon).
Before the flyover, Peter gave a little ginger talk of sorts to us explaining the significance of the return to Avalon Bay: "It's not quite in the Character Convocation vein, mind you, but I just thought we as make up the Magic Divers, and our guests (I assume you know who you are), might want to show the world something, as if the odd diving coach assignment at summer camps wasn't interesting enough an inducement!"
Whereupon Peter's mobile went off; it was Top Cat calling from Hollywood, and he was dropping word that he might be having his clowder over to Catalina over the Underwater Cleanup weekend.
"I assume the Catalina Diving Clowder will be welcoming you, as usual."
"Peter, Peter, who else?"
"The Hair Bear Bunch will be along as well."
"THEM?" (You could sense TC was incredulous.) "Now that'll be a rather interesting meeting, imagine, my own clowder--Benny, Chooch, Fancy-Fancy, Brain, Spook and, naturally, yours truly--crossing paths with Hair, Square and Bubi! And you wonder how cats and bears could get along, to begin with!"
(Off on the sidelines, Hair Bear couldn't resist sharing a few fantasy opportunities to imagine a shindig with TC and clowder, not to mention the Catalina Diving Clowder.)
"At any rate, TC, we'll see you on The Magic Isle--"
Before long, "Bubbles," the ever-effervescent leader of the Catalina Diving Clowder, sent a text message to Peter indicating that same would also be in on the Underwater Cleanup of Avalon Harbour. The which had Peter remarking "Now THAT's going to be an interesting underwater cleanup!"
Little did he sense that Copper Canyon was coming up and into overhead view.

Thank you so much for all that you do! I've found so many good fics from your recommendations ♥️
Do you know of any that involve Crowley being homeless or otherwise seriously struggling financially? Thank you!
I have read one with this theme, Divine Restorations and Repairs, so I'd love to rec that too! It's fantastic.
We have some fics in which Crowley is struggling financially here. And I've got a few more in which Crowley has problems with money/housing...
Copper and gold by Joseph_Amadeus (M)
Aziraphale doesn't pick up hitchhikers but he can't help himself when he sees Crowley getting steadily wetter in the rain one night.
Be Still My Soul: The Romance by MirjamOmens (E)
It’s the summer of 1917 in the Grand Duchy of Finland. The Great War rages over Europe, and the empire of Russia, of which Finland is still part, has suffered a revolution.
For Azirafel Fjäll, a minor landowner and a shop runner, all these things are only mildly annoying inconveniences. His dear friend, Anton J. Crowley, is not as fortunate. The working-class people struggle to make a living in a world where there's a constant shortage of food, fuel and work.
Despite their class differences, Azirafel and Anton have been friends since childhood--and both secretly yearn for more. Can their two hearts find each other as their country heads from one crisis to another? Or will the ever widening gap between their worlds keep them apart?
Sharp Objects by ElderlySardine (M)
Back in the mid-nineties, Aziraphale and Crowley had it all. They were friends, lovers, soulmates. Life was hard, but as long as they were together it didn't matter. Then in one catastrophic fight caused by Aziraphale's cruel, coercive brother Gabriel, the whole thing came crashing down. The boys parted company for good.
Now it's 2021. Life has spun Crowley and Aziraphale in very different directions before throwing them back together at their lowest ebb. Can they manage to hide their history from their new friends? Can they forgive each other, and themselves? Could there possibly still be something there between them?
And with Gabriel still lurking on the horizon, will they be strong enough to do anything about it?
The Ghost of Husbands Past by A_N_D (E)
Az always knew that he’d be thrown out the moment his father found out he was gay. He hadn’t expected to be declared dead though - or for his husband to believe it!
But their marriage had been a foolish teenage impulse (not to mention invalid in America), so when Az moved to a small town far upstate New York to start his new life, he moved alone. The kindest thing he could do was let Crowley mourn and move on, not be shackled for life to a now disabled partner.
Tony Crowley never recovered from losing his best friend, his childhood sweetheart, his better half. He’d been drifting ever since; no plans, no hope, no money - and now, just before Thanksgiving, no job either.
Given the stark choice of freezing to death or accepting his sister’s invitation to join her upstate, Tony reluctantly lives out the Hallmark cliche of Recently Unemployed Person Moves to Small Town for Christmas.
It’s a time of hope, love, and family.
It’s time for Az and Tony to find each other again.
Magpie by southdownsraph (E)
Ezra has just been hired as a bartender at an underground LGBT nightclub to help supplement his income while he studies for his master’s, and he can’t help but become infatuated with one of the performers, an exotic dancer who goes by the name AJ.
And the one you mentioned...
Divine Restorations & Repairs by skimmingthesurface, SylWritesStuff (E)
While it's unfortunate for one’s car to break down in the middle of the countryside, the pretty-as-a-postcard Tadfield could hardly be considered the worst place Anthony J. Crowley has ever been. Of course, it doesn’t help that it looks like it hasn’t yet seen the turn of the millennia, let alone this decade, but perhaps that’s just what he needs as he crawls his way out of the Hell he’s endured for the past fifteen years. Maybe the last thirty, if he's honest with himself.
Though he could do without the rain.
When Aziraphale Fell happens upon him and offers him shelter from the storm in his little family-run antique repair shop, neither are expecting it to change everything. The angel with his white umbrella and his tartan bowtie doesn’t expect this mysterious stranger to be able to fill the timely vacancy in his shop or the quiet of his life, but they’ve both had experience in restoring once-beloved items back to their full glory.
Perhaps Crowley hasn’t fallen quite so far that he wouldn’t fit in with the rest of Aziraphale’s ragtag team of eccentric restoration experts. And perhaps they may be able to turn that talent on themselves and each other, and seal the cracks in their own hearts.

Smapril Day 12: "Fuck me, coward."
(also spawned because of discussions on the friend server about Ferdie's/Hob's body shape and that he is no bodybuilder and in fact very similar to Tom in shape - a fact which I absolutely love)
Meeting with Hob Gadling after being late by thirty years does not go as Dream was expecting. The initial smile and casual acceptance vanish quickly as Hob becomes increasingly agitated over something Dream can't quite determine. Hob is fidgeting constantly, pulling his ear and biting his nails and he frowns a lot when Dream relays to him in simple but clear words where he has been the last century and why he could not make their appointment. Dream does not find these habits off-putting but they make him wonder what Hob is thinking. When Dream finally says that he got out on Tuesday, Hob suddenly hits his palm flat on the table and stands. His eyes are dark and he looks furious.
"On Tuesday. This week?"
Dream nods and frowns. Hob's anger does not make sense to him. Hob's nostrils flare. He turns from the table and says while already walking away, voice tense: "Will you come up to my flat, please?"
Dream, a bit confused but also intrigued, silently follows him up the stairs in the back of the Inn.
Hob's flat is…cozy, if Dream would have to choose a word. It is not overly clean but cluttered in a way that tells stories of the person living here and Dream appreciates that. He has missed much of Hob's life, not just in the last century. His eyes trail curiously over postcards, books and figurines, a mix and match of furniture from several centuries and finally land on Hob, standing in the living room, shedding his jacket. Underneath Hob is wearing only a white t-shirt and Dream feels his throat go dry at the sight. Has he ever seen this much of Hob's skin before? He can't recall. The shirt clings tightly to his frame and Dream cocks his head. Hob's waist. It is…far more slender than Dream thought. Hasn't Hob been more of a heavily set man? He searches his memory of their past encounters and comes up with too dim lighting and clothes with too many layers to discern anything definitive about his friend's body type. Intrigued, he takes a step closer.
Hob turns around and looks at him. He is still frowning but his anger seems to be infused with something like desperation or sadness as well now.
"Hob. What is the matter?" Dream asks while still cataloging every inch of newly revealed skin and body detail. This is not how he has imagined his friend when he has indulged in idle fantasy while he was captured. For one, Hob is less broad and heavy and for another, a lot more hairy than Dream thought. It makes him reconsider the configuration he has been fantasizing about. Alone in his prison he had dreamed of being taken care of, being loved and taken apart by gentle but strong hands. Now he wonders. Imagines himself clasping his hands firmly on Hob's trim form. Wonders if Hob will bend beneath him. If Hob will let him take care of him.
Dream wants to lay his hands on his waist and measure it, feel if Hob's ribs are discernible beneath his flesh, find out how far the bit of chest hair he can see peeking out at Hob's shirt collar spreads…
Tentatively he reaches out and touches his fingertips to his friend's naked forearm, not thicker than Dream's own. Hob shivers and takes a step back. He opens his mouth, closes it again, swallows. Then he finally says: "You got out a few days ago from being imprisoned for over a hundred years…and you come to me…to ME?"
He seems bewildered. Dream blinks at him, confused. "I was very late. I would not leave you waiting any longer than necessary."
Hob, curiously, shivers again and lets himself fall back on a maroon Chesterfield sofa that compliments the colours and the shape of Hob greatly (copper, bronze, amber, earth - hair, skin, eyes, even scent, all of it warm and comforting). Dream wonders if perhaps he is unwelcome. But none of Hob's behaviour has indicated that he doesn't want him here.
"Why does that make you angry?" he asks, because that is the question. Hob sighs and pushes his right hand through his hair. Dream follows the motion with his eyes. Hob's wrist looks like Dream can wrap his whole hand around it easily. Dream wants to grab it, feel the bones under his fingers, push until Hob is lying beneath him… The thought makes him flush and, feeling daring, he lets it rise to the surface of his skin. Hob doesn't look up and therefore doesn't see the way he is affecting Dream.
"I…I guess I think you should properly take care of yourself first? Like, talk to friends, confidants? A therapist?"
Dream slowly sinks down on the sofa beside him and Hob looks up. He flushes, startled at Dream's sudden proximity. Dream gently lays his hand on Hob's and traces the raised metacarpal bones when Hob tenses. The texture of the fine dark hairs on the back of Hob's hand is another thing he carefully commits to memory. The sharp disparity between Hob's masculine features and his almost delicate bone structure makes the heat in Dream's core grow by the minute. He wants.
Dream looks at Hob from under his eyelashes when he answers quietly:
"You are my friend. I came to you. I wanted. To see you."
Hob draws in a sharp breath and blushes. His right hand pulls at his earlobe again and his eyes dart away, to the window, back to where Dream's hand grips his left one, up again to meet Dream's eyes.
"Alright. I'm…very happy you did. It is…surprising, though. I still don't know your name." Hob chuckles helplessly and drops his gaze to their hands again, wiggling his under Dream's. Dream does not let go, instead he pushes his hand up Hob's forearm, leaving goosebumps in the wake of his touch, relishing the sensation of raised hairs. He touches his fingertips to the soft flesh of Hob's inner elbow, feeling for the soft thrum of his brachial artery underneath the delicate skin. Then he lets his hand slide back down and settles his fingers around Hob's wrist in a more firm grip. Hob's breathing has become quicker and when Dream tightens his fingers around his wrist he lets out a stifled moan. Dream looks up and catches Hob trying to hide his flushed face behind his other hand. When their eyes meet Hob swallows and then lifts his strong chin in defiance.
"Still won't tell me, huh? But you came. You're here. And I've seen you looking the last few minutes. I can see what you want."
Dream tilts his head in question and gives him a tiny smirk. Hob's eyes are burning, just like his cheeks, but he bares his teeth at Dream and says: "Fuck me, coward."
Dream freezes and gapes at him. Hob grins at him, a little wild and unhinged and Dream feels like looking at a daring young human in a smoky tavern in 1389. Should he have introduced himself back then? No. If only to have the pleasure of this moment.
Dream does not grin back but instead looks into his eyes with complete sincerity, as he quickly grabs Hob's other wrist as well and pushes his arms above his head, bearing him slowly down onto the sofa cushions. Hob doesn't fight him, he goes down willingly and arches beneath Dream with a groan. Dream puts his mouth to Hob's ear and purrs: "You may call me Dream…if you need a name to scream, my dear."
"Dream...Dream…yes, please!" Hob moans and arches his back beautifully again and Dream sets to exploring the still unknown shape of Hob Gadling with teeth and tongue and hands and all of himself.

TGCF Special International Edition (Simplified Chinese) Set
I decided to get this set as I was already ordering Silent Reading and so I wanted to share some pics of what all the set includes :3c
I love the art and theme-ing of each volume as one of the three realms and while I can't read it (who knows maybe this'll inspire me to learn another new language) I am still quite pleased with this set.
So the part that wraps around the books has a little magnet to keep it shut but you can unfold it and see inside!
The book marked "above" for the heavenly realm -- and is the first volume of the set.
the book marked "middle / in between" for the mortal realm and is the second volume in the set.
finally the book marked "below" for the underworld / hell and is the third / final volume of the set.
the painted edges of the pages are outstandingly gorgeous. this cute little pouch had all the extra goodies in it.
teeny stickers and these cool holographic ... I'm not sure if they're bookmarks? the paper is rather thick and firm so I'm not sure if they would be good to use for that or not.
postcards! they're all pretty but I do wonder how they chose which ones to print and which size to print them. Like why not have ALL the covers and box set cover as postcards instead of just two of them?
I adore these and they are closer to what I would think of as a bookmark thickness. However with the diecut edges I'd be worried the little bits would get smushed or bent if not careful when using.
more pretty little art prints! I especially like the ones with a copper colored foil on them. The paper texture for all but the two shadowy hualian prints are a nice textured paper as well.
more stickers and some papercrafts
there's this long foldout poster that's quite lovely and the back of it has the same lineart in a different composition for a landscape orientation.
I like the art in this set so much it's really very tempting to get a lot of it framed. Like the dust jackets especially are just *flails hands around because I don't have the words*

Thanks for the postcard, @ask-coppertop!
Here's the higher res drawing I did of Coppertop too!
Image IDs below the cut.
Ask Coppertop says: Postcard for Wayport Museum "Come and visit the lovely museum of Wayport Town today!"
Image 1: Spirit Light, a light blue unicorn with clouded eyes stands holding a postcard in her mouth looking excited. Ghostfire, a green unicorn looks at her curiously and asks "Whatcha got there?" Spirit Light answers "A pieff of paper!" the postcard muffling her words a little. Ghostfire replies "Don't get cute with me sister. Let me see."
Image 2: The postcard as described in the ask. Coppertop, a copper-colored android pony beckons the viewer to come to the museum saying "Come and visit the lovely museum of Wayport Town today!"
Image 3: Ghostfire is now levitating the postcard in front of her using her unicorn magic to read it, squinting and looking skeptical. Ghostfire says "It's a postcard for a museum in some town called Wayport..." Spirit Light, excitedly leaning over her shoulder and grinning exclaims "Oh a museum! I love museums. Can we go?" Ghostfire answers doubtfully "I dunno... I've never heard of this Wayport place..." to which Spirit Light says "Maybe it's a haunted museum!" Ghostfire reluctantly gives in and replies "Oh alright. Twist my hoof about it why don'tcha."

国指定史跡小田原城跡
二の丸東堀
指定 昭和13年8月8日
小田原城は、江戸幕府の三代将軍家光の乳母、春日局の子稲葉正勝が寛永9年(1632)城主になると、大規模な工事が行われ、石垣を備える近世城郭として整備されました。
二の丸東堀は、本丸・二の丸を守る堀の中でもっとも大きなもので、幅は最大で約40mあり、現在よりもさらに北に約60m先まで続いてしました。また、西は常磐木橋、南は南曲輪の前までつながっていました。
現在の石垣は、大正12年(1923)の関東大震災で崩れたものを昭和初期に復旧したものですが、石の写真のとおり、江戸時代の石垣は今のものよりも高く、二の丸の石垣として威厳のある姿を見せていました。
なお、震災直後、一時この堀を埋め立てる計画がありましたが、小田原保勝会が中心となって保存運動を起こし、その結果二の丸東堀は、今日までその姿を残すことができました。

馬出門
馬出門は、三の丸から二の丸に向かう大手筋(正規登城ルート)に位置する門です。寛文12年(1672)に枡形形式に改修され、江戸時代末期まで存続しました。
石垣と土塀で四角く囲んだ枡形と、本柱と控柱を備えた高麗門形式の馬出門・内冠木門の二つの門から成ります。
銅門
銅門は、大手筋に位置する二の丸主部への表門で、寛永10年(1633)には完成していたものと考えられています。
入母屋造瓦葺の渡櫓門で、銅門は大扉を銅鋲で飾ったことに由来します。[勢溜]と呼ばれる広場の前には、突出部が設けられて住吉橋の橋会が造られ、住吉門が据えられています。
