This piece is one of my favorites in the entire museum; ‘Dream Cloud’ is carved from one piece of boulder opal mined in Australia.  It’s an impressive piece, large enough to fill the palm of your hand.

“Now, pretend you don’t know me. Stay out of my way. The less you know, the better. I’ll explain it all later. Go and sing with the otters.”

“I hate you.”

“That’s fine. That’s a perfectly normal reaction.”

Nest of Pikachu by Diane Özdamar

Ok ok so a continuation of my post a while back about Simcoe and Harry Lee. Well the reason why Simcoe and his men pretended to be Harry Lee and his men specifically was because they shared similar green uniforms. But at the same time, Simcoe and Harry respected each other and at one point, Harry actually sent him a letter with an exclamation mark in it which I think is a big deal.

Anyway, Simcoe and his men got a kick out of pretending to be Americans and when people were like “so why are those guys in your unit dressed in red?” they were like “oh, yeah those are our French officers” AND THESE CIVILIANS DIDN’T KNOW ANY BETTER SO THEY ACCEPTED IT.

My personal favorite was when these two guys approached Simcoe who was posing as Harry Lee and the one guy was like “oh yeah, my son is in your unit!” and gossiped about the American movements. Then when they were like “so, what do you think Clinton will do?”, Simcoe’s dramatic ass replied something along the lines of “you may ask him yourself, for we are the British”. LIKE GOD, I LOVE THIS MAN.

// I want everyone to know that one of Simcoe’s best officers was named Stair Agnew. Yes, you read that right.

// The past two days, I have been drowning in Simcoe facts. I love my son. My beautiful son who, when mistaken for a Continental soldier/officer, he was like “oh yeah, I’m *giggle* Major Harry Lee and *giggle* these are my troops”. Not once, but twice. Then he wrote to Harry Lee in regards to Andre’s capture. Someone is in love.

Бедная Настя (2003)

It’ s actually 1800s,but well - I love that scene so much XDD

“Mother, I’ve got a bride. Will you please hear me out?”

This. Aand that’s why i love the scene of Simcoe and Arnold talk in “The course of human events” -btw, it could easily fit into TURN, well, almost, yes (the book itself is older that the series, and stll seems like it was a source of inspiration errrr, a bit, but still) (and it is so short and unfortunatry brief, but contains a bunch of interesting thngs and bits that are dear for my shipper heart) (Anyway, highly recomend it).

It’s the anniversary of Major Andre’s execution (uh the other day) aND I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS. It’s known that Andre and Simcoe crossed paths and worked together numerous times. (I like to imagine that Andre, de Lancey, Simcoe, Tarleton, and Montresor were a clique…) Their military talents were different, Simcoe worked primarily as a ranger while Andre had a bit of a cozy job in Philadelphia and then Manhattan. Their methods were different but they were both talented and ambitious men. 

Though they were familiar with death on the battlefield and there were plenty of people close to them who had died in war, but I can’t imagine Simcoe would have been able to brush off Andre’s death so easily. Sure he was tough and his methods a bit violent, but he still had feelings.

Not only did he have to deal with Andre being executed but he then had to work with Benedict Arnold who caused Andre’s death. Imagine having to work with a giant man child who got your friend killed. IMAGINE HOW MUCH THAT WOULD FUCKING SUCK. A lot of British soldiers held Arnold responsible for Andre’s death and some soldiers refused to serve under him. (To insult him even further, it’s also possible that Arnold was ranked higher than Simcoe.)

Just some food for thought…

A Bit of Help.

So, for the past three days I’ve been in “hello”, so to speak. Depressed, stressed, sad… I’ll be brief has it is quite difficult for me to talk about it let alone repeat it…again. :( But one bro was drinking and driving, which ended as you’d expect. The other was…diagnosed with cancer. To have to go through that again… It was just like what happened to my mom…

Anyway, my two bros and I just spent our money on bills, rent, and utilities. Payday has passed. Fate decided to worsen things by having our water heater break. Heh. At the worst of times…

So, if you can help me reach my goal of $120, I’d appreciate it. I have till Monday (Mtn. Time). :/ Been scouring for ways o to get to that goal with no luck, and I have no transportation. So that doesn’t help.
