O bispo de Olinda pregando depois da bênção da imagem de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, no Morro da Conceição, no dia 8 de dezembro de 1904.

Na manhã do dia 8, Dom Luiz Britto chegou acompanhado da comissão responsável pelos festejos, do monsenhor Marcolino do Amaral, vigário geral do bispado, dr. Coelho Ramalho, major Peregrino de Faria, acadêmico Raul Moraes, representando, respectivamente, o General Comandante do distrito, o Governador do estado e o Prefeito da cidade do Recife. Também faziam parte do séquito Frei Gaudioso, o monsenhor Oliveira Lopes, monsenhor Fabrício, cônego Freitas, os vigários Cavalcanti, Velloso e Francisco Silva. As bandas do Colégio Salesiano, Charanga do Recife e a banda musical da Sociedade 15 de junho do Arraial também estiveram presentes na ocasião. Após retirar o pano vermelho que envolvia a imagem, Dom Luiz deu a benção e em seguida foi executado pelas bandas o Hino Nacional e foram lançados vários fogos (A PROVINCIA, 1904c,p.1). As companhias de trem realizaram viagens extras para tentar suprir a demanda, mas ainda assim os vagões circularam cheios. Houve destacamento de 20 praças de cavalaria e 80 de infantaria para realizar o policiamento no local por conta no número de pessoas esperado (MOURA; LOPES NETO, 483). A celebração foi finalizada com os presentes entoando o Te Deum Laudamus.

120 Miles of Russian Forest Couldn’t Keep These Two Tigers Apart. (New York Times)

Amur tigers Boris and Svetlaya, observed by a trail camera in 2018.Credit...ANO WCS

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

When Russian scientists released a pair of orphaned Amur tiger cubs into the wild in a remote corner of Russia’s far east in 2014, they were trying to save a species. While the tigers, sometimes called Siberian tigers and the world’s largest big cat, remain endangered, the scientists created something else: an unlikely love story.

The cubs, Boris and Svetlaya, had been rescued from the wild as unrelated 3- to 5-month-old cubs in the Sikhote-Alin mountains, the animal’s main stronghold. They grew up in captivity and were released at 18 months old. The cats were separated by more than 100 miles with the goal of expanding the distribution of released tigers as much as possible in the Pri-Amur region along Russia’s border with China.

The scientists tracked the cubs until, more than a year after their release, something strange happened: Boris walked over 120 miles, almost in a straight line, to where Svetlaya had made a home.

Six months later, Svetlaya gave birth to a litter of cubs.

While the strategy of releasing rescued cats raised in captivity to restore populations in the wild had proved successful with the Iberian lynx in Spain, it had never been tried with big cats.

Hi =] 

It's worth mentioning that the twins did have a pretty solid understanding of what they were signing up for

That good to know! I think I’m just very used to arceus offering people a deal and then Not Explaining the Consequences (very… fae coded I suppose lol). It’s very sweet that despite all this they still agreed. Ingo wants to help people!! Of course he does. Every time I look into their in game quotes I’m always taken aback at how supportive and kind they both are. Like. Ingo is Nothing but encouraging and so so happy to see people succeed and grow. It makes sense that that sort of care would carry over to protecting the people he cares about (and even those he might not know!). Emmet is very similar- while he may be more to the point and use less words, he’s still super encouraging and kind! Even when he wins he still encourages you to come back and try again and again- he loves winning more than anything but even when he loses he’s still super happy! 

I think that’s sort of character for them has faded in and out over time, and it’s super nice to see it. In the end, both the twins are fundamentally kind people that want others to grow. 

… I forgot where I was going with that! Something something you are doing a fantastic job representing that with this story and how they act/ the decisions they make.

he has to made more of an effort to be kind and understanding and patient and gracious than he fucking wants to.

Customer service attitude sneaks up on him even without running a subway /silly 

There is. So much here I could gush over (how much emmet cares for ingo, how much he respects his brother and his want for others to understand and acknowledge him as well)  but the. They love encourager so much and want to help each other and although they struggle to find ways to do so, and cannot use the methods they used to, they still find ways to support and help each other though this. They still have eachother’s backs no matter what- even after such a huge shift in tracks. 

There is something verrry sweet about that. (A real “would you love me if I was a worm over 120 ft mechanical bearing bond comprehension / a magical mechanic that can make metal float?”) 

It’s funny to imagine Emmet being at the end of his rope talking with someone, and ingo just. Walking up to them and the other person hurrying away. (Well. It’s funny if you don’t think about it to much) 

That trust IS earned, that kindness is repaid.

I have many thoughts of the twins being kind no matter what. Even with nearly every odd turned against them and forever changed, they are kind. And, eventually, that kindness is returned. Love that message- it’s a hard one to internalize but it’s so worth spreading. 

… you are giving me fic ideas. (Not necessarily related to this au but)

No one else has heard him speak since the change, but Emmet listens, and Emmet is thrilled at every opportunity he has to hear him.

( ╥ ᴗ ╥)

I swear I had more to say here. This is just very sweet and I want to gesture at it with strong emotion (love listening to people talk. It’s so nice to hear them just speak. I’m sure for emmet and ingo it’s. So much.) 

they'd also be able to train and grow and continue to push eachother to greater heights, even if one of them is warden and the other isn't.

“You grow stronger by matching yourself against a strong opponent. Please do your best and run toward the destination, an even higher state."

“Winning against us is a milestone in your life. You can rack up more and more. Please move on toward an even greater goal!"

 “it was very fun! You want to win, and I don't want to lose. That's real. When we clash in battles, I feel very excited!"

“We won, but I am not really satisfied. I can tell that you won't give up. Because you will be much, much stronger. That's why we are waiting for you to come back!"

Yeah I think so too. 

I can just imagine how they would encourage each other to keep getting stronger- even when far away from one another. Better combinations! New strategies! Just for the next time the other visits. 

no special interest in trains (yet,)

I know the focus had been mostly on the getting used to everything in huisi but I would Love to hear about adventures in the future. I will. Ask specific questions in another ask! But feel free to ramble about anything so I can ping some ideas around =] 

Emmet can solve nearly every problem… monster or a tragedy or a weapon.

Not quoting that entires sections here as it’s rather long- but ough. I Know I keep going back to “the relationship they have is so sweet” but you are Killing me here. Emmet knowing he can take care of ingo… finding his new form buetiful thanks to the gifts he was given… being there and letting his brother rapid fire informations and rambles and thoughts��� ingo being able to make his brother feel safe, being able to feel and sense him in ways that he never had before…

Seeing the other hurting and wishing with all their heart to comfort the other. Just doing their best to make sure the other knows that they are there for them, no matter what. 

they made me realize I have autism.

Yeah. Yup. I have the braking suspicion that a Lot of people had that realization (I! Also had that realization.) 

Ingo does mention that he thinks he recalls him and emmet used to “battle and discuss Pokémon, I think” so it makes sense they would do the same here! Even if ingo himself is the “Pokemon” lol. 

The most successful way Ingo finds to help Emmet sleep is actually by giving him his own room aboard.

(This is a link to a drawing- You can totally post it on your answer tho!) 

Just a sketch- fighting the combination of executive distinction + other ideas in my head + wanting to keep some of the other stuff a surprise 

I know! I skipped a lot of details (trust me I am chewing on All of them- I just may not have known what to add / not had anything to comment about it) but man I. Am shaking this around like a chew toy. 

Hiii :DD Hi welcome back!

I think I’m just very used to arceus offering people a deal and then Not Explaining the Consequences

Mhhhhm. That's a common fandom trope, and one that I'm frankly not very fond of. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about how Arceus is handled in fandom and I don't want to get into all of them right now, but broadly in all my AUs where Arceus is involved, I try to write it sort of like a benign background grand master. It orchestrates these events and conclusions, but tries to avoid getting directly involved where possible. In my AUs, Arceus is actively avoiding being malicious whenever it is present and everything is done for a reason.

So in the case of Mecha AU, where it is directly getting involved in a drastic way, I want to actually give it a chance to have a character in the story than just being a 'deus ex machina.' (HAH. double pun) Most of that is through nuance, which is why I've been quick clarify that Ingo and Emmet knew what would happen and why I made Arceus' blessing so specific. It comes back as an key character later in their story, although that's a tale for a different time. Mainly, it's just really important to me that Arceus actually gets to Be a character instead of a plot point. It has motivations, goals, and a personality.

Every time I look into their in game quotes I’m always taken aback at how supportive and kind they both are. [...] Something something you are doing a fantastic job representing that with this story and how they act/ the decisions they make.

🥺 That actually means more than I can say. I've noticed that this particular trait does often get either overlooked (especially in?? Emmet's case??? for some reason??) or otherwise written in a way that doesn't quite feel right to me. I'm glad that this specific trait comes across in my work because i care about it a lot and it's the thing I focus on most when attempting to create anything about the twins.

I don't feel like I get it right all the time either, to be honest, but I do try my best. The way they're written canonically is so compelling to me but gamefreak please..... they have so few lines.... there is so little to work with. God knows I'm going to stretch it as far as I can but pokemon is just kind of Like This (vague gestures towards stories with a young target audience and casts way too large to thoroughly develop each arbitrary character)

In the end, both the twins are fundamentally kind people that want others to grow. 

(To summarize: This ^)

[Jericho-Typical ramble below:]

Customer service attitude sneaks up on him even without running a subway /silly 

It does!!!! It does and he HATES it!!! I think they should be nice to him and give him a break. I also think Emmet should get to go to a rage room as a treat.

They still have eachother’s backs no matter what- even after such a huge shift in tracks. [...] There is something verrry sweet about that.

THEY DO!!! THEY DO and it's SO important to me.

They would still love eachother if the other was a wurmple. If Emmet was a wurmple he could live in Ingo's lungs with the rest of the wild wurmple colony (JOKE) (But not entirely. because. Ingo does have a couple of stowaway bugs in his vents now and then. He's so big that if he sits very, very, very still, they'll climb on him like he's any other mountain or building. Emmet keeps having to remove them from the premises so their webs and nests don't block the airways, but Ingo keeps letting them back in when Emmet isn't looking) <- He can get away with this because bug types are known to have fewer brain cells (intensely affectionate) so they don't immediately clock him as giant living threat

[Doodle from a few years ago]

It’s funny to imagine Emmet being at the end of his rope talking with someone, and ingo just. Walking up to them and the other person hurrying away. (Well. It’s funny if you don’t think about it to much) 

Actually, since Emmet tends to stay nearby him and Ingo can reach very far, MY funny visual is Emmet just. TOTALLY pissed at somebody. and Ingo reaches over with his claw to drag Emmet away by the collar of his coat. This is not realistic. He probably just lets Emmet climb onto the inside edge of his claw and carries him off, but the first option is a lot funnier to imagine.

I have many thoughts of the twins being kind no matter what. Even with nearly every odd turned against them and forever changed, they are kind. And, eventually, that kindness is returned. Love that message- it’s a hard one to internalize but it’s so worth spreading. 

I feel a sappy kind of complicated feeling that I'm not quite sure how to put into words other than, y eah 🥺

The one thing that has never failed me is being kind. If nothing else succeeds, I am a firm believer that being kind cannot be completely overlooked, even in the face of fear, uncertainty, and anger. Kindness heals a lot more than people realize, even if you're directing it at other people. So, in stories I write, I also find it hard to write characters who are genuinely kind and caring in conflict with the people around them ksjdhgsg Call it a flaw, it probably is one, but man im a sap for kindness as a universal mediator.

… you are giving me fic ideas. (Not necessarily related to this au but)

:D!!! I'm thrilled to hear it!! If you ever write anything do let me know!! I love when my work can inspire other people to create things of their own, genuinely makes me so happy.

( ╥ ᴗ ╥) love listening to people talk. It’s so nice to hear them just speak. I’m sure for emmet and ingo it’s. So much.

I didn't have a lot specific to add to this but it reminded me of one of the first drawings I did of the Engineer and Mecha Ingo (This is from 2022) and I guess today is art day because I really wanna share some of the doodles I've made over the years of these two

Emmet IS in this drawing he's just very very small.

This makes me want to draw something new between the two of them. A quiet conversation or something with Ingo talking while Emmet listens. I'm not sure if/when I'll have time but it would be really nice 🥺

I know the focus had been mostly on the getting used to everything in huisi but I would Love to hear about adventures in the future. I will. Ask specific questions in another ask! But feel free to ramble about anything so I can ping some ideas around =] 

Ohhhhohohohh......... This is not a good topic to let me ramble about anything. We've been mostly talking about Hisui so far, but the majority of my time with this AU until the last year or so was spent hyperfixated on Post-Hisui. I would say that just as much of the story takes place after Hisui as it does in Hisui, and I think the most important note about their "adventures in the future" is that, getting to that future is the hard part.

The Engineer, as previously mentioned in the main masterlist, falls into a coma not long after Ingo sinks into the ocean. Ingo... Does not. or, not right away. Emmet's sleep is very... different. And specific. It's unnatural. Forced. And, if you'll recall from that same initial post, Emmet will not die as long as Ingo is still alive. He's functionally immortal.

But that means that Ingo is still there, at the bottom of the ocean. He has internal oxygen stores. He has onboard water and power. He doesn't need to "eat food," necessarily. He can last for a long time without any external help, in large part because he can't move. (Half buried in the sand, the weight of the ocean is too great.) He's not using up the normally vast amount of energy he requires to function.

And he waits. and waits... and... ...The worst part is, Ingo doesn't have any point of reference for what is going on outside. He doesn't know what the people of Hisui are doing, he doesn't know where Emmet is. He doesn't know that Emmet falls into an unshakeable sleep right on cue alongside his own internal systems shifting to a power-saving hibernation.

Ingo is alone under the water for a very, very long time.

That's all I'll say for now. I'm very ill about it and I don't want to ramble too long when you've mentioned sending a different ask about it another time. Ingo's time under the ocean is, a lot, and none of it is happy.

Seeing the other hurting and wishing with all their heart to comfort the other. Just doing their best to make sure the other knows that they are there for them, no matter what. 

No matter what happens now or in the future, this is what their relationship is based on. As much as that love and care is the thing that fuels them, it's also one of the things that hurts the most. They care SO much, more than anything, yet sometimes they care so much that it aches. their whole story is like this unfortunately and I uhhmmm,,,,,,, i havent found a way to, fix that. so I'm working on that part.

I can't quote that whole section either because it really is so much, but I keep rereading it too. It does give a very good perspective into how both of them feel and the experiences they're having. In a way, I think it does a better job than most of my other explanations.

[The most successful way Ingo finds to help Emmet sleep is actually by giving him his own room aboard.] https://imgur.com/a/7wKhc3Q This is a link to a drawing- You can totally post it on your answer tho!

[Drawn by Hammer Anon]

DUUUUUDE!!!! THIS IS SO CUTE OH MY GOSHHH 😭😭🥺 I've been staring at this all evening. This is so lovely and sweet and peaceful... I especially love how you've personalized Emmet's space here. He looks so comfortable in the hammock

The way you've drawn his core is extremely fascinating to me but does make sense based on my extremely limited description. Mentally noting this down for later I didn't give a good description of Ingo's core, but this is what it was ""supposed"" to look like:

I put ""supposed"" in quotations because while this was my first idea from years ago, it also feels extremely lackluster, so I've been wanting to redesign completely it for a while. But also holy shit please if anyone knows what that ^ shape is called I spent SO long trying to look it up with no results and I really don't want to just call it the Fruit Gusher Shape because surely there's an actual word for this kind of twelve sided shape (ignoring the bottom side-view drawing don't worry about that one)

Anyway

The funny thing is, I HAVE tried to draw Emmet's room several times, but your sketch is actually closer to how it looks in my head than any of the drawings I've made. This is because. All fictional locations in my brain operate on dream logic and generally have incomprehensible non-Euclidian structures. So genuinely this is exactly how I envision it when I talk about it.

The room is rectangular (longer than it is wide) in my head but this ^ was for a school project with specific requirements. Again, really don't like how Ingo's core looks here so I'm thinking of redoing it entirely/almost entirely. I like the closer/more cramped/more homey vibe of the sketch more than the digital one.

The way you drew it actually makes me really happy, and I'm thinking maybe I should push aside how I think it's "supposed" to look in order to actually mess around with how it Really looks in my head. You got the computer terminal basically perfect, and I love the addition of the pearl clan banner + the little gliscor plush/toy. Super lovely 🥺

I know! I skipped a lot of details (trust me I am chewing on All of them- I just may not have known what to add / not had anything to comment about it) but man I. Am shaking this around like a chew toy. 

All good! 🤝 I definitely do the same when I'm not sure what to add. Rest assured I have been regularly coming back just to reread everything and hrhghthhh. Yeah. Good. I fully understand. I wouldn't call your ask chew toys because those aren't my thing but like, if AUs are songs then your asks are like the Audio Visualizers that play in my brain whenever I think about them. Does that comparison make any sense? Maybe not. Point being: metaphor for a sensory stimuli I like

A distância não nos permite enxergar melhor, mas achamos que em cima daquele dragão está LIATRIS ASHGLEAM, uma cavaleira de 25 ANOS, que atualmente cursa A QUARTA SÉRIE e faz parte dos CAVALEIROS. Dizem que é DESINIBIDA, mas também IMPACIENTE. Podemos confirmar quando ela descer, não é?

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ✦ㅤ 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕. ㅤ✦ㅤ 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒌𝒔.

Before the fire.

A única conexão que Liatris tem com seus pais biológicos é o próprio nome, registrado numa pequena tornozeleira de couro no idioma feérico. Foi abandonada nas ruas do Baixo Império quando ainda era um bebê de colo, e embora não tenha conhecimento até hoje de quem eram seus pais, é bem evidente que possui uma ascendência feérica muito próxima, provavelmente filha de um outro changeling e uma elfa – ainda bebê, era possível observar o início do crescimento de um pequeno par de chifres na cabeça, orelhas pontudas bem acentuadas, olhos prateados e pele cor de oliva.

Poucas pessoas ali estavam interessadas em tomar para si o problema de criar um filho alheio, diante do cenário tão desigual de Aldanrae. Teria sido deixada para morrer se a alma caridosa de Joleth Ashgleam, uma changeling que foi aposentada do exército antes sequer de concluir a sua formatura no quadrante da infantaria devido a um acidente no treinamento que resultou na perda total do seu movimento da cintura para baixo. Mesmo aos 120 anos e condicionada a uma cadeira de rodas rústica improvisada, o coração de Jo compadeceu pela pequena criança chorona, dividindo todo o pouco que tinha com ela até o fim de seus dias.

Somente por causa de sua "vovó Jo" a infância de Liatris não foi um completo show de horrores. As duas sobreviviam dos serviços de lavagem de roupas de famílias que tinham um pouco mais de recursos da região, morando num pequeno casebre improvisado no litoral de frente para Eldrathor, na periferia de Ânglia. Lia começou a lhe ajudar no que podia bem cedo, e aos seis anos já auxiliava trazendo as roupas sujas e levando as limpas de volta para os seus donos, tudo a pé, já que não tinham condições de investir num cavalo ou um burro de carga. Muito curiosa desde cedo, a pequena apreciava bastante as suas viagens, às vezes passando horas na praia observando os dragões sobrevoando o Wülfhere.

Quando estava bem perto de alcançar a idade da Captação, a saúde de Joleth parecia piorar exponencialmente a cada dia, tornando impossível que continuasse trabalhando ou sequer realizando tarefas básicas. Lia, ainda uma criança, dedicava todo o seu tempo para cuidar dela da melhor forma que podia, implorando por medicamentos nos vilarejos próximos, mas ninguém parecia querer ajudá-las. Apesar disso, Jo continuava insistindo que resistir à Captação era obsoleto e impossível, e ela não deveria tentar de forma alguma. A mais nova sabia, porém, que isso era praticamente uma sentença de morte para a enferma, então foi ter que ser levada da forma mais dramática e desagradável possível – se debatendo aos gritos, os olhos completamente embaçados pelas lágrimas enquanto via a única pessoa que se importara com ela na vida pela última vez.

Sua única figura materna de fato faleceu dois dias depois, algo que possivelmente teria acontecido mesmo que não tivesse sido levada ao instituto, mas que Liatris acreditou por muito tempo que teria conseguido reverter se não tivesse sido tirada de lá à força. Assim, seus primeiros anos estudando no Wülfhere foram uma enorme tortura, já que do seu ponto de vista infantil, aqueles eram os responsáveis pela morte da vovó Jo, então ela não colaboraria com nada enquanto pudesse lutar. Sua determinação para passar pelo Parapeito foi apenas a de sobreviver e voltar para casa, já que ela só descobriu a morte de Joleth duas semanas depois através de uma carta de um de seus vizinhos.

Fez o possível para tornar a vida da maioria de seus instrutores um inferno, detestando tudo o que dizia respeito àquele lugar. Um pequeno interesse ainda era evidenciado quando começaram a estudar os dragões, no entanto – eles eram o único tópico que fazia a expressão raivosa do seu rosto suavizar discretamente. A sensação de que estava completamente sozinha no mundo só começou a deixar o seu peito gradativamente alguns meses antes de sua colheita do ovo, quando começou a receber pequenos sinais em sonhos de que algo tentava lhe contatar.

Com o ovo de seu dragão em mãos, Lia tinha apenas um objetivo em mente durante a sua segunda série: que ele chocasse logo. Esperar até os dezoito anos parecia uma tortura infindável! A sua época mais dedicada aos livros foi justamente enquanto tentava descobrir métodos meio controversos de acelerar o amadurecimento de um ovo de dragão, alguns bem perigosos tanto para ela quanto para o ovo. Em seu âmago, no entanto, Liatris sentia que o dragão estava tão ansioso para eclodir quanto ela, incentivando as suas tentativas, mas infelizmente nenhuma foi bem sucedida. Só conheceu Mistvelyssar durante a Ceifa, conforme programado, uma dragão fêmea que quase ocasionou na perda de sua alma no Sonhār – ela precisava saber se Liatris estava apta a formar um vínculo com um dragão como ela, selvagem, orgulhosa, muito aventureira e, acima de tudo, livre.

Ao longo dos anos, o desgosto de Lia pela Wülfhere não diminuiu, mas passou a dedicar a sua atenção às matérias que realmente considerava úteis (normalmente só aquelas relacionadas a dragões e tudo que pudesse lhe ajudar a se tornar uma melhor cavaleira e combatente). Não poderia se importar menos com as honrarias advindas de uma posição mais prestigiosa no exército, já que acredita que ninguém se importa verdadeiramente com aquelas coisas, usam apenas para manter as aparências e os changelings em seu "devido" lugar. Seu único objetivo é tornar-se forte o suficiente para sobreviver sozinha com Misty onde quer que seja, sonhando com terras distantes e uma vida que não seja dedicada à proteção de pessoas que mal poderiam esperar para vê-la morta em combate.

Mistvelyssar, the shadow.

Mistvelyssar, apelidada por sua cavaleira de Misty, é uma amphiptere excepcionalmente ágil e rápida, uma das mais velozes do quadrante. Ainda não atingiu a maturidade, mas tem um tamanho um pouco abaixo da média dos dragões de sua idade, já o suficiente para ser montada por alguém pequeno como Liatris. Quase toda a extensão de seu corpo esguio é coberta por escamas cinza-escuro, clareando nas extremidades, sendo a cauda e a cabeça quase brancas. Possui uma penugem prateada e cinza-escuro nas asas e na cauda, e pequenas estruturas pontudas nos polegares assemelhando-se a garras, usadas para auxiliar no transporte terrestre ou no apoio de superfícies montanhosas. Sua cabeça é alongada e estreita, com dois chifres escuros bem longos e uma crina prateada que se inicia do topo da cabeça e desce pelo pescoço até um pouco antes das asas.

My Aspec Manga List

This list will be continuously updated from time to time.

Everything on this list will be my personal recommendations for manga that either give off the aspec vibes, have a canon character or have an indirectly labeled character. I will admit a lot of these may be headcanons more than anything, but they aren't without their backing.

[sire-rizku]

Zde přináším kompletní list všeho, za co mi zákazníci vynadali za 2 a půl měsíce brigády.

Začínáme silně, celková existence Billa kartiček a slev pouze s Billa kartou - Nesnáším, vypadám jako někdo, kdo s tím může něco udělat? Ne. Ale když vím, že je v nákupu něco na billa kartu, nemám problém tam pípnout svojí. Pokud na mě teda nezačnou řvát jaká je to píčovina a že už sem nebudou chodit. Okay, tak nechoďte.

Dovolila jsem si zeptat se jich, jestli tu Billa kartičku mají

Jsem pomalá - aneb nálepka na mase byla roztrhnutá, skener ji nepřečetl, takže jsem musela vyťukat ten kód, u toho a spletla jsem číslo, takže jsem musela začít od začátku.

Jsem moc rychlá - Ženská měla velký nákup, přijela k pokladně jako první, takže když ona vykládala, já už jí skenovala nákup. Nákup byl načtený, jí zbývalo uklidit tak ještě polovinu zpátky do košíku, řekla, že bude platit kartou, já jí řekla, že může (jakože je zapnutá ta čtečka, protože zase když to neřeknu, tak čekají až jim to dovolím). Pak jsem si ještě dovolila pohnout tím oddělovačem, že do druhé přihrádky pošlu další nákup. Od tý doby radši taky sděluju, že vedle půjde další nákup.

Neznám cenu všeho z hlavy

Cena u pokladny je jiná než ta na cenovkách v obchodě - Dneska to byla smetana, měla být v akci. To byla, ale jiná značka než si vzala paní. Ale za to samozřejmě můžou všichni ostatní.

Zeptala jsem se kolik mají rohlíků - Prý si je mám spočítat, protože je to moje práce. Okay, spočítám, ale je mi jasný, že kdyby před tímhle chlapem stál týpek z večerky, co běžně kupuje třeba 120 rohlíku a řekl mi ať si je spočítám, tak se posere. (jen tak mimochodem, týpek z večerky je zlatíčko - všechno má spočítaný, peníze dává co nejpřesněji to jde, dokonce mi to nabízí i ve stovkách, protože těch mám vždycky málo a nechává dýško)

Sdělila jsem jim, že *libovolné zboží* má omezené kusy na 1 nákup - Pls, žádná velká věda, prostě to rozdělíme na víc nákupů. Není to tak dávno, co jsem to jednomu týpkovi dělila asi na 7 nákupů, protože cukr byl po 10 kusech. Ale někdo prostě musí udělat scénu.

Nemůžu jim jen tak dát peníze z kasy - chlápek prostě nedokázal pochopit, že když mi dá lístek vratných lahví, já potřebuju, aby mi nějaká stálá pokladní napsala kód, aby se otevřela kasa.

Nemám na vrácení - Prostě, pokud si hodláte koupit 10 rohlíků, který vyjdou na 29 Kč, a zaplatit to dvoutisícovkou, protože potřebujete rozměnit, přijďte s tím aspoň až kolem 10 hodin, ne v 8:01. Já když ráno začínám, tak v kase nemám žádný tisícovky, tudíž to musím vrátit v pětistovkách. A když jsou tyhle nákupy třeba 3 za sebou... Pecka.

Posílám je na jinou pokladnu, protože mi končí směna - Nejlepší odpověď: "Ale mě snad ještě vezmete, ne?". Ne, nevezmu, sorry.

Moje "oblíbená" historka, nedá se vyjádřit jednou větou, je prostě moc specifická - Nakoupil u mě chlap. Za 20 vteřin byl zpátky, jak je možný, že když kupoval jen 6 věcí, má jich na účtence 7. Začal řvát na celej obchod, že tohle snad není možný, tohle se mu děje pokaždý když tady nakupuje. A děje se to jen tady. Proč má na účtence nějaký kuřecí, když kuřecí vůbec nekupoval, co jsem mu to tam dala... Slyšela ho vedoucí, která doplňovala zeleninu, přišla to se teda podívat, co se děje. Fun fact - i když vám v Bille dají lahůdky/salámy do jednoho pytlíku s jedním kódem, všechny ty salámy se načtou jednotlivě (takže na účtence nejsou lahůdky za 80 korun, ale kuřecí šunka za 35 a vepřová šunka za 45 apod.) Takže ano, kuřecí vážně kupoval, jen to očividně stihnul zapomenout než došel k pokladně. Nejvíc mě dostalo, když se pak omluvil vedoucí, že ji tahá od práce, ale mně už ne.

[kimhortons]

meron akong kabobohang nagawa. haha. nag tataka kasi ako last time may magkasunod na bawas ng 95 pesos sa online banking ko sa UB, tas parang araw araw siya nagbabawas ng ganung amount.

dun kasi pumapasok yung sahod ko, buti nakaugalian ko na pagka sahod, tinatransfer ko agad lahat sa seabank—dun kasi mas madali mag send ng money, charge free pa. tas nung last sahod, nag tira ako dun ng halos 4k, tas nung nagtransfer ako nagtaka ako kasi parang kulang na, so chineck ko yung transaction. then ayun, may magkasunod na araw na bawas ng 95 pesos. haha

nabother ako kasi magkasunod na araw, tas baka mag tuloy tuloy kaya kinuha ko na lahat ng laman. wala ako maalala nun kung saan ako ng subscribe using my card bukod sa Spotify.

tas last week lang, nag check ako nung budget tracker na napurchase ko sa Facebook last time (august 7), at that point di ko pa narerealize na ito yun haha. tas may link kasi dun ng tutorial sa Youtube kung paano gamitin yung sheet. tas nakita ko yung name ng user sa YouTube may dashify. e pagkakatanda ko nadisconnect ko naman na agad yung card ko sa meta pay, kaya takang taka ako paano nababawasan. tas late ko na 'to nakita:

hahahaha napamura ako e. so ngayon, parang need ko tuloy gumawa ng bagong account para mas safe. haha. or may alam ba kayong ibang way? ayaw ko naman din kasi irisk na okay na since di ko na binubukasan yung file, baka kasi biglang hindi lang 95 pesos yung makuha.

haha. imbes na maging on track sa finances, baka lalo pa mawalan hayp na yan. biruin mo, nafall ako sa 80 pesos haha. tas meron pa palang almost 120 from Facebook. tas ano, aaraw arawin ako bawasan hanggang sa malalaki na yung makuha. huhu shunga ko sa part na 'to haha.

never naman ako talaga gumagamit ng card sa online purchase laging gcash, ewan ko bat naisipan ko 'tong gamitin, kesyo maliit na halaga lang kasi. haha. nakaka dala. never na talaga ulit haha. siguro naman pag gumawa ako bagong account kahit nasa same device, safe naman ata ano? hehe. skl

“Travessia”

Óleo sobre tela, 120 x 60 cm, 2022.

[português]

Uma mulher adulta carrega uma menina na água. O corpo da figura adulta indica uma pessoa em processo de envelhecimento, com a pele flácida. Ela veste um maiô, peça que, no Brasil contemporâneo, costuma ser associada às mulheres mais velhas quando vão à praia, enquanto as mais jovens geralmente optam por biquínis. O maiô funciona como um símbolo do corpo que se esconde.

O cuidado é mútuo, cada uma com suas fragilidades e potencialidades: a pessoa idosa carrega a criança no colo, protegendo-a de se afogar, já que a criança é pequena e fisicamente frágil. Ao mesmo tempo, a criança olha atentamente para frente, como se guiasse a pessoa idosa.

Passamos por todas as travessias da vida com um corpo: de certa forma, o mesmo corpo do nascimento até a morte. No entanto, ele nunca é realmente o mesmo. Assim como tudo na vida, nosso corpo está sujeito a mudanças constantes. Nascemos com poucos quilos, incapazes de andar, correr ou pular. Sofremos transformações desde a concepção, em todos os aspectos do nosso corpo: desde o simples crescimento de um osso até as complexas alterações cerebrais, que nos permitem, como adultos, interpretar o mundo e a vida de uma forma completamente incompreensível para uma mente em seus primeiros anos de desenvolvimento.

Na pintura, vemos o contraste entre dois estágios do desenvolvimento humano: uma criança pequena, cujo corpo continuará a se desenvolver rapidamente até atingir a idade adulta, e uma mulher de cerca de 50 anos, cujo corpo perde mobilidade com o passar do tempo. Embora a criança tenha um corpo mais ágil, sua baixa estatura na água a torna especialmente frágil, e o colo que a sustenta torna o processo mais seguro. Juntas, abraçadas, ambas tornam a travessia da parceira mais segura.

[english][español]

[english]

An adult woman carries a girl in the water. The body of the adult figure suggests someone aging, with sagging skin. She wears a one-piece swimsuit, a garment that, in contemporary Brazil, is often associated with older women when they go to the beach, while younger women usually prefer bikinis. The swimsuit serves as a symbol of the body that hides itself.

Care is mutual, each with their own fragilities and potentials: the elderly person carries the child in her arms, protecting her from drowning, as the child is small and physically fragile. At the same time, the child looks attentively ahead, as if guiding the elderly person.

We go through all the crossings of life with a body: in a way, the same body from birth to death. Yet, it is never truly the same. Like everything in life, our body is subject to constant change. We are born weighing just a few pounds, unable to walk, run, or jump. We undergo transformations from conception, in every aspect of our body: from the simple growth of a bone to the complex brain changes that allow us, as adults, to interpret the world and life in a way completely incomprehensible to a mind in its early years of development.

In the painting, we see the contrast between two stages of human development: a small child, whose body will continue to develop rapidly until reaching adulthood, and a woman around 50 years old, whose body loses mobility with the passage of time. Although the child has a more agile body, her short stature in the water makes her especially fragile, and the arms that hold her make the process safer. Together, embraced, they make each other's crossing safer. [español]

Una mujer adulta carga a una niña en el agua. El cuerpo de la figura adulta sugiere una persona en proceso de envejecimiento, con la piel flácida. Ella viste un traje de baño entero, una prenda que, en el Brasil contemporáneo, suele asociarse con mujeres mayores cuando van a la playa, mientras que las más jóvenes generalmente prefieren los bikinis. El traje de baño funciona como un símbolo del cuerpo que se esconde.

El cuidado es mutuo, cada una con sus fragilidades y potencialidades: la persona mayor carga a la niña en sus brazos, protegiéndola de ahogarse, ya que la niña es pequeña y físicamente frágil. Al mismo tiempo, la niña mira atentamente hacia adelante, como si guiara a la persona mayor.

Atravesamos todas las travesías de la vida con un cuerpo: de cierta manera, el mismo cuerpo desde el nacimiento hasta la muerte. Sin embargo, nunca es realmente el mismo. Como todo en la vida, nuestro cuerpo está sujeto a cambios constantes. Nacemos con pocos kilos, incapaces de caminar, correr o saltar. Sufrimos transformaciones desde la concepción, en todos los aspectos de nuestro cuerpo: desde el simple crecimiento de un hueso hasta los complejos cambios cerebrales que nos permiten, como adultos, interpretar el mundo y la vida de una forma completamente incomprensible para una mente en sus primeros años de desarrollo.

En la pintura, vemos el contraste entre dos etapas del desarrollo humano: una niña pequeña, cuyo cuerpo continuará desarrollándose rápidamente hasta alcanzar la edad adulta, y una mujer de unos 50 años, cuyo cuerpo pierde movilidad con el paso del tiempo. Aunque la niña tiene un cuerpo más ágil, su baja estatura en el agua la hace especialmente frágil, y los brazos que la sostienen hacen el proceso más seguro. Juntas, abrazadas, ambas hacen que la travesía de la otra sea más segura.
