POB's Internal Recruitment Competition

So I most often post about Russian ballet companies--because there's always something going on over there--but I tune in more to the Paris Opera during their Internal and External Competitions and Promotion Competitions.

Today was the Internal Recruitment Competition for Paris Opera Ballet School 1st course students trying to get a permanent contract at the POB. On July 4th, there will be the external competition, where anyone can try to earn a contract, including POB students who didn't earn one during the Internal Competition, supernumeraries of the company, and dancers from all over that have passed the preliminary stage already.

This year there were ten open positions available to be filled during these competitions. Four of them have been given out during the Internal Competition, leaving six potential spots open for the External Competition, more than usual.

The students who are now quadrilles of the theatre are:

Lisa Petit

Tosca Auba

Lilas Parra

Paul Mayeras

Lisa Petit especially is a strong up-and-comer to watch after performing beautifully as Raymonda in the POB School graduation. The Prix de Lausanne Prize Winner Luciana Sagioro was likely not able to compete in this competition as she had only been at the school for a year. Hopefully, she earns a spot on the 5th or will be offered a supernumerary position.

I will post more on the external competition in a few days!

MARSEILLE DO SOMETHING

[winterrinpariss]

metz vs marseille 2-2

2nd half thoughts (didnt catch the first half😪)

this was really good i’ll be real. ligue 1 haters are missing out!!

metz go down to 10 men and start playing better going up 2-1 in less than 10 minutes, and marseille respond with the equalizer right before full time????? guys the drama is what i live for

both teams walk away with 1 point, which isnt the best result for marseille, but yk what; a point is a point🤷🏽‍♀️

all in all marseille are a very promising team and more importantly, i think psg are going down!!🥳🥳

MEANT TO BEE 🐝

here's Serhou on vacation in maybe 2018 wearing our shirt that he got from a jersey swap (probably from Auba but he wasn't 100% sure when they asked him about it)

[sumerianlanguage]

hey! i was wondering if you'd be able to translate 'tide' into Sumerian? I'd like to name a character after something in relation to the moon, without directly naming them moon. thanks!! :)

Hello! Unfortunately, as with many other oceanic words, none of my regular sources have an exact word for "tide" as a concept. The Sumerians were a riverine people more than an oceanic one, so there's also paltry evidence of vocabulary around coasts, beaches, etc.

The closest match I can find is aeshtub, which means "April high tide flooding", a time when the high tide would bring salt water to the brackish marshes near the mouth of the Tigris/Euphrates river complex, and fish would enter the marshes to spawn. This phrase literally means "carp (eshtub) water (a)" and is often translated as "carp-flood" in texts like Nanna-Suen's Journey to Nibru and Enki and the World Order. Aeshtub is written 𒀀𒄞 or 𒀀𒄞𒄩 in cuneiform.

The only other word I know is au 𒀀𒅇, which means "high water" as in the high point of a river's seasonal flooding. It appears most often in the set verb phrase auba ngal "to be at its high water". This proverb is A ziggagin pesh hedahul, Idigna auba ngalagin Enlil hedahul, which the ETCSL translates as "The riverbank should rejoice as though there were a flood. Enlil should rejoice as though the Tigris (Idigna) were at high water." I can't find an example in literature of it meaning "high tide" as in an oceanic or moon-induced tide, though.

I hope one of these works for your purposes! If not, do check out this post for other moon-related vocabulary.

[longeyelashedtragedy]

send me a character and i’ll list:

Mikel!

oooh, this is an interesting one

i once told a friend, i forget who, that Mikel is what an AI would spit out if i gave it a bunch of traits i find desirable in a man. and fitting for an AI, mikel isn't actually someone i want in that way, if that makes sense? he's kind of...uncanny valley. off-putting. not quite "inscrutable," but, hmmm. sort of like his life partner granit, he's unlike anyone else out there, but in a very different way than granit is.

favorite thing about them: the passion, the stubbornness, the slight insanity, the toothy-grinned charisma. i think he'd be a great politician, which is a compliment in a sense that i love politicians in an academic sort of way (hate them in practice, with very few exceptions). the behind the scenes machinations re: auba's departure in all or nothing were kind of terrifying and fascinating at once. also, what he did for granit literally brings me to tears. it's the disney love story that disney love stories want to be. oh, also his ass. what the fuck kind of workouts is he doing

also random fun fact: his older sister is a bougie artist who lives in mallorca year-round

least favorite thing about them: a) what he's doing to aaron ramsdale. b) that he's a native speaker of euskera but he's NEVER spoken it anywhere. it is a beautiful language and i'd love to hear him speak it. mikel, your less hot counterpart xabi has spoken it in interviews, get on it

favorite line:

brotp: xabi alonso! i don't really ship them romantically, but i do love that they've known each other for so long and their lives periodically intertwine, like right now with granit.

notp: kloppteta (i don't really ship kloppo with anyone, sry guys!)

otp: runners up: pepteta, & mikel and tim cahill back in everton (they...TRULY were a force of nature in those olde interviews)

The winner...

XHAKARTETA

maybe, in some ways, The Best OTP Of All Time (*aside from rakidrić). it's everything, everything.

i write about it a lot on here from the perspective of what Xhakarteta did for granit, and will do that again in my granit ask. i think it wasn't as obvious specifically what it did for mikel until granit left and mikel really seems to have lost his marbles a little. i have the feeling that mikel doesn't fully respect that many people, or trust that many people, and i think his utter and complete respect/trust for granit was a relief to him, and having granit around as his true equal did more for his stability than he knew.

plus they're gorgeous together physically. imagine their kids! like. damn. they'd also speak some of the coolest languages on the planet.

xhakarteta is weird because i bash on my own writing a lot, but i'm really satisfied with how i write and interpret them. i give them that little exciting something extra 😈

random headcanon: mikel probably has the most basic milquetoast liberal politics on the planet

unpopular opinion: he looked better with the Rangers-era long hair and he needs his earring back! i don't know how unpopular that is on tumblr, but i think it's unpopular with him lol

song i associate with them: i have a couple, but as with most footballers my song associations are kind of on superficial levels (franko and my movren mix being the exceptions)

bulería by david bisbal - wrong part of spain, but this song goes harder than any song should be going, and i love the DRAMA, and also that line -- "quiero ser tu calma y tu tempestad" -- i want to be your calm and your storm -- That's Xhakarteta !!!

favorite picture of them: ok, i'm sure at least one person will predict what i'm going to choose:

-2004, glasgow. so many photos i could have picked, but at the same time like...yeah!
