Q and Bond are undercover as Bake-Off contestants.

From this prompt from the 2023 prompt list: Q and Bond have to go undercover at the GBBO. And to fully complete the mission…one of them must win. Bonus points if they’re investigating Paul Hollywood. (#179)

And also for this prompt from the scavenger hunt: Find the Difference - Create an almost identical image and change a few things there (could be an edit or art). Tell us how many things have changed when you post it. (#28)

So find the differences! There are eight!

“The only Hebrew version of the perennially popular Arthurian legends was written in northern Italy in 1279. […] The 13th-century Italian Jewish translator’s literary methods are as fascinating as are the Arthurian stories in Hebrew dress. The scribe not only translates from Italian, [..] he also changed and Judaized the story. The scribe’s manner of Judaization is evident at the outset of the romance; the apology itself is filled with terms from a familiar Jewish world. Instrumental to the Judaization of the Arthurian romance are the scribe’s choice of plot (the seduction of Igerne by the king, with its parallels to the David-Bath-Sheba story), additions and omissions, use of language, and treatment of certain passages to stress Jewish ideas. For instance, the feast at which Uther meets Igerne is described in the Old French sources as a Christmas feast. In the Hebrew version, the statement “Then the king made a great feast for all the people and all the princes” (based on Esth. 2:18) conveys the aura of a Purim feast. Another example of such transference of concepts occurs when the translator takes the talmudic word tamḥui (“a charity bowl from which food was distributed to the needy”), with its uniquely Jewish associations, to describe the grail, an overtly Christian symbol. The constant use of well-known biblical phrases reminds the reader of religious literature and produces the effect of biblical scenes in the midst of the Arthurian narrative. In this fashion, then, the text and the language interact in polyphonic fashion.”

Hey, my apologies if someone has already done this but I wanted to add a link to both the original Hebrew pdf and the translation in Modern English by Curt Leviant. It’s a wonderful Arthurian text and one of the most  delightful versions of the last days of Camelot that I’ve read. I can’t recommend it enough for a quick and fun read.

@bethany-sensei youre an arthurian nerd (i think ?) so you will appreciate this (i hope?)

1. Want a tiny bront skeleton kit to make and put on my desk at work but the production facility was moving with no indication of when it would be making more bront skeletons
2. Go on Etsy and buy the pdf printouts that i then print and cut out and fold and spend weeks on to make a low-poly bront at half the original scale
3. Check on the tiny bront skeletons again because the paper craft one is like still way too big to put on my desk at work, and some of the parts are soo small that I can’t feasibly reduce the scale anymore even if I wanted to make it again, which i don’t! It was hard!
4. Buy a bront skeleton and it arrives last night. I end up taking a friend to Ikea during the time I had originally planned to make the skeleton and lo! What do I see‽
5. It’s this big bront! (with a kinda pathetic but still cute expression on its face!)
