Just went on an unfollowing spree getting rid of people I never exchanged a single word with. If you can still see this, congratulations, you get a catnip cookie.

@asongofstarkandtargaryen Me watching casually an advertaising on the TV of a new soap opera (I will not watch it because it will be very long and an episode airing daily almost every afternoon) then reading the plot and finding that the main pairing and their relationship is basically a Character swap AU of Julio and Alicia from Gran Hotel, but instead of 1905 it's 1913.

F(x)

F(-×)

Synopsis: "1913. The whole world is on the brink of the abyss, but there are havens of peace isolated from conflicts. Like the La Promesa Palace, in the Los Pedroches valley, owned by the Marquises of Luján, one of the largest landowners in the country.

The day the Palace is preparing to celebrate the wedding of the heir, Tomás (Jordi Coll), is interrupted by the appearance of an airplane that attracts everyone's attention. It is piloted by Manuel (Arturo Sancho, aka young Bernat in the first episodes of Los Herederos de la tierra), Tomás' younger brother. Suddenly, the device loses altitude until it crashes. Manuel is about to be consumed by the flames; but someone manages to save him: Jana (Ana Garcés).

The Marquis offers her a financial reward, but she only wants to work in the Palace and has a clear motive: to do justice to her mother, murdered fifteen years ago, and to investigate the whereabouts of her brother, kidnapped when he was a newborn. And the only clue that she has is related to the Marquises of Luján. The time has come for revenge. There is only one element that she had not counted on: Manuel, son of the Marquises... and the last person she would expect to fall in love with. Can love quench the thirst for revenge? Could you forget those who sank your life? To your mother's murderers? To those who made your brother disappear?".

Cast: Ana Garcés, Eva Martín, Arturo Sancho, Joaquín Climent, María Castro, Jordi Coll, Antonio Velázquez, Andrea del Río, Manuel Regueiro, Carmen Asecas, Alicia Bercán, Paula Losada, Carmen Flores, Teresa Quintero, Antonio Velázquez, Sara Molina and Enrique Fortún.

Jana, just like Julio, starts working as a servant for the rich family to investigate the disappearance of a sibling, and she meets and falls in love with Manuel, like Julio and Alicia fell in love with each other, and probably Manuel will eventually help Jana to solve the murder of her mother and to find her brother, in a similar way to Julio and Alicia figuring out the disappearance of Julio's sister.

In some kind of sense also La Promesa is something like Downton Abbey and Gran Hotel had a child together in a soap opera format😂 (Also Gran Hotel and La Promesa both are from Bambú Producciones)

(The series or films in which Bambú Producciones has been involved are Guante Blanco, Hispania: La leyenda, Gran Reserva, Gran Hotel, Marco, Imperium, Gran Reserva: El origen, El club de los incomprendidos, Velvet, Seis Hermanas, En tierras salvajes, Bajo Sospecha, La embajada, Las chicas del cable, Tiempos de guerra, Velvet Colección, Traición, Fariña, 45 revoluciones, A pesar de todo, Instinto, Alta Mar, Malasaña 32, Refugiados (The Refugees), El verano que vivimos, Jaguar, Un año, una noche, Un asunto privado, Dos Vidas, Now & then, La Promesa, 13 exorcismos, Nacho and Nosotros podemos. And some documentaries like Fraga y Fidel, sin embargo, American greyhounds, Lo que la verdad esconde: el caso Asunta, El crimen de Alcàsser, 800 metros, Bajo escucha: el acusado)

(This channel where I found the trailer has also some interesanting videos talking about some aspects of the historical context of La Promesa)

So, I huh. As you guys can see, this blog is empty for now. That's because I decided to revamp my character somewhat. I will be back to role playing very, very soon, though, I promise. If we were already writing together, I ask we start new threads instead of continuing with those we had going on. I'm deeply sorry for the inconvenience. I hope some of you might still want to stick around.

I could have made things easier for me by deciding Damián was a vampire or a werewolf and just throw him in a pre-existing city somewhere in México. But no, I just had to create a new species from scratch, as well as an island that isn't even real. Why am I like this?

[purrgatorial]

Today we celebrate Día de Muertos here in México and it's also Damián's birthday.

[purrgatorial]

I love how in some verses Damián works as a bodyguard/hitman for people who are often involved with the mafia. Not only that, but he still retains his skills as a taxidermist, so besides disposing of his boss' enemies in cold blood, he will turn their dead bodies into works of art. Like, here, have a necklace of vertebrae and a couple rings of teeth I made for you, and yes, that skeleton sitting by the fireplace drinking a cup of tea is real, and oh, you found the mummified hand that doubles as a paperweight in your office, hope you appreciate the gifts, Sir.

New icon

Damián will totally do your makeup, if you let him.

[purrgatorial]

I was going to write down a complete list of the things Damián enjoys in the bedroom, but then I thought, nah, you'll just have to fuck him to find out.

[purrgatorial]

Question for the ages; what design should Damián get tattooed and where?

[purrgatorial]

Should I write some open starters?

Behold, I present to you all my new banner <3

[purrgatorial]

New banner, maybe???

In just a little over three months I've had so many of you interact with my boy and I can't thank you enough for it. Honestly, when I made him I didn't think many people would be interested in the first place.

[purrgatorial]

I told myself I was not going to give Dae a tragic backstory and then, plot twist, I came up with some of the saddest shit imaginable.

Thinking of changing the url of this blog to something shorter and sweeter.
