Cars characters' birthdays (Human AU)

Some characters share birthdates with their actors, but not the year for obvious reasons. Also, I've de-aged a lot of characters, particularly Doc, cause I don't want anyone dying in my AU just yet. As a result, Doc raced in the early 60s rather than the 50s.

I also might change some of these later depending on how my AU timeline goes.

Lightning: July 27th, 1984

Doc: January 26th, 1940

Sally: June 13th, 1982

Mater: January 12th, 1971 (kept the date but changed the year for obvious reasons)

Fillmore: May 28th, 1948 (combo of George Carlin & Lloyd Sherr’s birthdays)

Sarge: July 4th, 1949

Ramone: August 13th, 1958

Flo: January 25th, 1957 (only instance I use the actor’s birth year as well as date)

Luigi: March 10th, 1965

Guido: September 18th, 1967

Lizzie: February 14th, 1925

Red: October 30th, 1975

Sheriff: November 14th, 1944

Mack: May 14th, 1972

Strip: July 2nd, 1946

Lynda: April 23rd, 1947

Chick: February 12th, 1953

Cruz: January 6th, 1991

Cal: June 2nd, 1983

Bobby: December 10th, 1984

Pleased To Meet You

The Birthdays HC edition!

🧡 Happy Birthday, PTMY Gabrielle 🧡

My girl was born on March 19th 🥳

And her name is Gabrielle. Gabrielle Tourneur.

(👆🏻from the movie I Walked with a Zombie (1943), directed by Jacques Tourneur)

@dreamymyrrh asked me why I picked this name, and here's why: it's a French name I've always been fascinated by (certainly with a little bit of envy).

For some reason, to me, it sounds both mysterious and sexy, with a hint of sadness, but full of promises. The hard consonant at the beginning asserts her inner strength, and the "elle" sound at the end ("elle" means "she" in French) is very feminine.

(@nicolethered I still can't believe you named her Elle before you even knew it was part of her name. I immediately HC that it's how Will calls her. Ilysm it hurts, seriously)

And well, Gabrielle feels neither mysterious nor sexy. But mysterious she is, to Benny, who doesn't really understand her, even if he loves her blindly. And sexy she is to Frankie, especially. But not mysterious, because he's a part of her, and she's a part of him. A safe, soothing part of themselves. The one they know best. The one they need most.

Jacques Tourneur (1904-1977) is one of my favourite directors, and his I Walked With A Zombie (1943) one of my favourite movies (check it out if you've never seen it). With her (necessary) penchant for dissociation, Gabrielle might have been living most of her life outside of herself, or rather, buried deep inside... So I thought the nod was very fitting.

But that last name will play a part in the epilogue, so I should be quiet now, but not until I've thanked you all who have welcomed her and who give me your support, which I appreciate more than words can say 🧡

Bonus:

All the PTMY/TF birthdays!

Frankie b. 1975 (March 31st)

Isolda “Izzy” b. 1971 (May 4th)

Francisco Morales Sr b. 1938 (Nov. 26th)

Eva Morales b. 1940 (May 11th)

Gabrielle b. 1979 (March 19th)

Rosie Muñoz b. 1979 (June 7th)

Dolores Muñoz b. 1962 (December 20th)

Ben Miller b. 1982 (Sept. 29th)

Will Miller b. 1976 (April 13th)

Auto-Train

This is a shot of the original Auto-Train, albeit the short-lived Louisville extension; as we see above, it’s teamed up with Amtrak. The location is somewhere just south of Louisville, Kentucky, along the Louisville & Nashville Railroad.

By the time of this photo, six or seven years in, Auto-Train was under some duress, while Amtrak’s Floridian was struggling as well. During a brief period then, the southbound Floridian would combine itself with the Louisville version of the Auto-Train for the trip to Florida. I believe this occurred beginning November 1st 1976 until September of 1977 when Auto-Train stopped service to Louisville. The Floridian itself was discontinued in October of 1979.

Auto-Train used some interesting locomotives along with the legacy equipment bought from railroads (which were able to drop passenger service in 1971). The power for the upstart road were new GE U36Bs delivered with Blomberg trucks. Not sure if they had steam generators, but I think not: heat was supplied by a generator in a modified heavyweight car in the consist.

Auto-Train as a corporation lasted only ten or eleven years and succumbed to financial difficulties—due to this extension (beyond the original east coast run) and more than one derailment. Amtrak revived the idea in October of 1983, and it’s still popular to this day. I have another post on this interesting train, from the spring of 1976.

One image by Richard Koenig; taken March 26th 1977.

Happy 75th Birthday the Scottish writer. Poet and Playwright Liz Lochhead

Born Elizabeth Anne Lochhead in Motherwell, Lanarkshire on 26th December 1947; her parents , John Lochhead and Margaret Forrest, had both served in the army during the war and married in 1944. Her father was a local government clerk. In 1952 the family moved into a new council house in the mining village of Newarthill, where her sister was born in 1957.

The primary school in Newarthill is vividly conjured in Lochhead’s poem ‘A Protestant Girlhood’. She moved on to Dalziel High School in Motherwell, and by the time she was 15 had decided to go to art school, although teachers were encouraging her to study English at university.

She wrote her first poem, ‘The Visit’, after she entered the Glasgow School of Art in 1965, and attended an informal creative writing group there run by Stephen Mulrine. After graduating from GSA in 1970, she went a few times to the extra-mural writers’ workshop run by Philip Hobsbaum, who had a gift for identifying and encouraging talent. In 1971 she won a Radio Scotland poetry competition, in 1972 she read with Norman MacCaig at a poetry festival in Edinburgh, and her first collection, Memo for Spring, was published in 1972 by Gordon Wright. She met Alasdair Gray, Jim Kelman and Tom Leonard in this period, and later in the decade Tom McGrath and Alan Spence; in this group of talented young Scottish writers, she stands out as a rare female presence and this has been enabling and inspiring for the generation that followed.

Lochhead earned her living at this time by teaching art in secondary schools in Bristol, Glasgow and Cumbernauld. In 1978 her second collection, Islands, was published and she wrote and performed in Sugar and Spite at the Traverse, Edinburgh. She was awarded the first Scottish/Canadian Writers’ Exchange Fellowship the same year, and went to Toronto, then lived in the USA after the fellowship ended, and over the next couple of years returned to New York for lengthy periods.

The 1980s was an immensely productive decade in both work for the theatre and poetry; Lochhead also married the architect Tom Logan in 1986, and they made their home in Glasgow. Notable successes included her adaptation of Molière’s Tartuffe for the Lyceum and Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off, performed by Communicado. These two plays derive much of their energy from the way Lochhead uses Scots, admiringly characterised by Robert Crawford in Identifying Poets as ‘a diction of kaleidoscopic pace and liveliness, a Scots which manages to bring Tartuffe in touch with Holy Willie while preserving an alertness to the polyphonies of [her] contemporary Scottish homeland’ .

The elements of voice and performance are vital to both genres, but Lochhead considers them to be quite different, and marked this visually by publishing Dreaming Frankenstein & Collected Poems (1984) with a white cover, while her monologues and performance pieces True Confessions and New Clichés (1985) had a black cover. While she allowed, in a 1992 interview for Verse, that ‘certain speeches in, say, Mary Queen of Scots…, felt like writing poems to me while I was doing them’, there was nevertheless a basic distinction to be made:

A play is something that doesn’t exist when you have written it. It only exists when it begins to be performed. Whereas a poem is something that even before you’ve tightened it up properly, once you’ve got it finished, even if it’s lying under the bed, there it is: it’s a thing. So I think that’s what satisfies me the most about poetry, that it is not for anything whatsoever and that you don’t really do it to order.

This was before her laureateships, which inevitably involve poems commissioned for occasions, but the distinction probably stands as such poems often involve a degree of performance.

Lochhead’s sixth collection, The Colour of Black and White – poems 1984-2003, includes ‘Kidspoem/Bairnsang’, which has become one of her signature poems and a touchstone for the decade. It is cleverly but also appealingly bilingual, perfect for illustrating to those who don’t know Scots how the language marches beside English; and for those who do know Scots, it serves as a reminder of its riches and legitimacy in the public sphere. Many generations had Scots bred out of them at school, and that this is changing is in no small part driven by Scotland’s writers. Moreover, Lochhead articulates more than her generation’s worth of weary anger over the literature accepted into the canon: ‘the way it had to be said / was as if you were posh, grown-up, male, English and dead.’

While the blurb for this collection quotes The Scotsman as saying ‘Her pulse [is] the racing, faltering pulse of a nation obsessed with identity and self-analysis. For 25 years, Lochhead has been the distinctive female voice of Scotland. Gallus, inquisitive, accusing and playful. Angry and tender by turns’ – this description is of limited truth. Her voice is not always that of a woman, or always that of a Scot. Following her friend Edwin Morgan, first as Poet Laureate of Glasgow (2005) and then as Scots Makar (2011-16), she strove to be confined by neither her gender nor her nationality, and went on to be awarded the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 2015.

Nevertheless, the female voices that Lochhead has deployed in her monologues and many of her poems undoubtedly draw on a Scottish oral tradition that is subverted by the music-hall, and takes pleasure in a distinctive West of Scotland tradition of gossipy storytelling and humour. If the latter has been – on stage at least – a predominantly male preserve, she has been instrumental in making space for women. Lochhead has spoken of the difficulty for female poets in particular of the long shadow cast by Hugh MacDiarmid, and of the liberation provided by American examples – again typical of many West of Scotland writers’ experience. In Lochhead’s case, this was not only the lure of William Carlos Williams and Robert Creeley, but also of the sophisticated lyrics of Broadway, to which she pays affectionate homage in ‘Ira and George’. The poem is dedicated to her friend and co-performer Michael Marra, and reminds us that Lochhead’s love of music and the visual arts is an essential part of her work.

The radio as much as the theatre has been an impetus to creation for Lochhead, and it is her ability to speak with conversational intimacy within a public space that is one of the hallmarks of her work. The sound of her own voice is immediately engaging. Her relish of a whole variety of language registers and rhythms, her sensuality and humour, her loving descriptions – ‘the decency of good coats roundshouldered’ – and her outspokenness have made Lochhead an enormously popular poet.

Down on her hands and knees at ten at night on Hogmanay, my mother still giving it elbowgrease jiffywaxing the vinolay. (This is too ordinary to be nostalgia.) On the kitchen table a newly opened tin of sockeye salmon. Though we do not expect anyone, the slab of black bun, petticoat-tails fanned out on bone china. ‘Last year it was very quiet…’

Mum’s got her rollers in with waveset and her well-pressed good dress slack across the candlewick upstairs. Nearly half-ten already and her not shifted! If we’re to even hope to prosper this midnight must find us how we would like to be. A new view of Scotland with a dangling calendar is propped under last year’s, ready to take its place.

Darling, it’s thirty years since anybody was able to trick me, December thirty-first, into ‘looking into a mirror to see a lassie wi as minny heids as days in the year’ – and two already since, familiar strangers at a party, we did not know that we were the happiness we wished each other when the Bells went, did we?

All over the city off-licenses pull down their shutters, people make for where they want to be to bring the new year in. In highrises and tenements sunburst clocks tick on dusted mantelshelves. Everyone puts on their best spread of plenty (for to even hope to prosper this midnight must find us how we would like to be). So there’s a bottle of sickly liqueur among the booze in the alcove, golden crusts on steak pies like quilts on a double bed. And this is where we live. There is no time like the present for a kiss.

I did write all of the characters birthday on their profile, but it's been a while and I haven't made a profile for everyone so here's a list in chronological order of those who I gave a canon birthday.

Giuseppe Paradisi: September 3rd 1898

Gwenaelle "Gwenn" Lorgnez: August 9th 1904

Tamara Schumacher: July 7th 1971

Yamuna Chintal: December 12th 1971

Raphael "Ralf" Montag: August 1st 1973

Charlie Yi: February 5th 1984

Kino Gurafee: September 22nd 1993

Peneloppe "Paisley" Cox: October 18th 1993

Lilah Silvercloud: February 21st 1994

Antoinette "Toni" Crosdale: June 9th 1994

Audrey Newberry: October 26th 1995

Dawud Sahan: March 21st 1996

Rudder "Rudi" Marron: January 14th 1997

Marisa Magallanes: March 11th 1997

Matteo Rossini: November 25th 1997

Daniele Rossini: June 7th 1998

June Crosdale: November 27th 1998

Akvamareen "Akva" Singh: May 18th 1999

Athena Ramdeen: August 24th 1999

Adem Zaoui: January 9th 2001

Saraswati "Sara" Cox: November 1st 2019

Joseph Gurafee-Silvercloud: April 15th 2021

Bonus: It's been said in a chapter that Ulrikke, Rudi's younger sister, shares a birthday with Tamara. She was also turning 18 that years in 2021, meaning she was born in 2003. Daniele also said the Tenerife airport disaster was on his mother 10th birthday. This plane crash happened on March 27th 1977, therefore we can deduce his mom was born on March 27th 1967. I don't really have a specific birthday for the other character's relatives though some of them have at least an age that has been mentionned in canon. Like Akva said her parents had her at 20 for example. This is because I am a freak and I need my timeline to be super specific and on point even though nobody cares except me.

Dawud is also the only one to have celebrated his birthday in a chapter, twice in fact. This is a clever reference to him being the main character of the story.

Gorilla Babies Wrestle, Sister Defends Brother by SloggerVlogger Gorilla Babies Juni and Hasani have a wrestling match, that's until Ayana comes running and defends her brother Juni, but watch closely as an adult hand appears and she gets pushed away. I think it's Kera, Hasani's Surrogate Mum. Hasani is the one that sits by the door frame. This video was filmed in January 2021. If you've been following the gorillas you might know that they are still in the closed Bristol Zoo. They are getting a new enclose built in 2024 and that's when they will be moved to the new Bristol Zoo just outside the city centre. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to visit another gorilla troop as I concentrated on Twycross Zoo with Gorilla Lope leaving this year. If you would like to know the Bristol Zoo gorilla Family more, check out this introduction video: https://youtu.be/I5IejS2QY4w and some more info here: The first Gorilla arrived at Bristol Zoo on 8th September 1930 named Alfred. The Zoo itself opened on July 11th 1836! The first gorilla birth was on March 6th 1971. Currently, there are 8 gorillas at the Bristol Zoo. Starting off with Jock the Silverback. He was born on May 31st 1983 at Zoo La Palmyre. He got moved to the Bristol Zoo on the 25.June 2003. His offspring are Namoki, Komale, Kukena, Afia, Ayana, Hasani and Juni. Kera was born on August 26th 2004 at the Parc Zoológic de Barcelona. She moved to the Bristol Zoo on the 08.September.2008. Her offspring is Afia. Afia was born by emergency cesarean section at Bristol Zoo on the 12th of February 2016 after her mother, Kera, showed symptoms of potentially life-threatening pre-eclampsia. She had to be hand-raised. Gorilla Romina took an interest in Afia when the keepers walked past her with Afia in their arms. So Afia was slowly introduced to Romina and in October started bonding with her surrogate mother. Kera did recover after being ill for a while but didn't recognize Afia as her daughter. Romina took over to raise her, but sadly they had to put her to sleep in Aug 2018 because she had an advanced large cancerous mass in her abdomen. Afia by then was part of the group and Dad Jock and the other females looked after her. Touni was born on the 12th of December 2007 at the La Vallée des Singes and moved to the Bristol Zoo on the 28.September 2015. Her daughter is Ayana who was born on the 22nd of April 2017. On 22 December 2020, Touni gave birth to the second baby gorilla for Bristol Zoo that year during covid lockdown and he has named a combination of his Mother’s and Father's name, Juni. Kala was born on the 11th of December 2010 in Hannover. She's the newest member of the group as she joined on the 16.October 2018. She was pregnant in Sep 2019 but sadly lost the baby. The cause of death is unknown. On August 19th 2020 Kala gave birth to baby Hasani. Unfortunately, she couldn’t feed him properly and is being hand-raised by Bristol Zoo staff members. In May 2021 Kera showed interest in Hasani and became the new surrogate mother of the little boy. The Bristol Zoo has closed its doors for good. As an inner-city zoo, it didn't have a place to expand. That's why they are relocating some of the animals like this gorilla family to the outside of Bristol to a place called Wildlife Place Project, now Bristol Zoo Project. They stated that they are going to start building in 2024. So it will still be a while until they have moved. If you would like to see more of the Wildlife place they are moving to, you can watch this hyper-lapse I have done on my travel channel: https://youtu.be/PUZ1F2dwhEE All the Bristol Zoo Gorilla videos: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXC1aShJSBiWo8RsysJA97AlOfKJCcYte Stay connected and never miss a moment!
