#Diego is da best

[trashbag-baby666]

Based on these headcanons welcome to the story of Clegan and Webgott parent best friends!

•Taking place in sunny San Diego, John is splitting his time. Hes embraced being a stay at home dad when he’s not on base. He had done two and a half tours in Iraq, when he got back home he didn’t want to give it up. Hell, he himself had gone to Top Gun. Now he was just Naval aviation instructor at the base, teaching young pilots how to fly and in-formation, some basic dog fighting. Nothing special like Top Gun though, is what he always says, when people ask.

•Gale is the Navy wife, San Diego? Cheyanne? Manitowoc? He didn’t care where they were he just wanted to be with John. But they had made their home here now. He’s a library director at the county library, he bakes, and he’s a full time mom and Bucky wrangler.

•Lieb, similar to John, had a career in the military. He did two tours in the 101st, essentially coming to an end when he messed up his knee after a helicopter crash. He had lost part of his unit and had to pull his Major out of the wreckage. When he got back San Francisco just didn’t feel right. Nothing did, he couldn’t adjust and everything felt threatening. Bingers he went until he met Web at a bar. They hit it off and something in him flipped. The more he went on dates with this guy and spent time with him he could distract himself from the intense feelings. It then gave him a purpose to really seek out help. After he got sober and him and Web got serious. They decided maybe a change of scenery is what they needed.

•Perfect timing and a job opened up researching marine life at San Diego State uni. Web applied and interviewed the two of them holding their hands tight as Web awaited the news. They were really holding out for the news he got the job. They had found the perfect loft apartment and everything. Come Monday when he got the call he had gotten the job they started packing.

•John and Gale have been married since 2014. they have an adopted daughter named Louisa but they call her Lou. She’s their entire world, Johns got her convinced to become a pilot someday. When Lou gets to go to work Gale if he has a meeting, she’ll spend the entire time looking at books about planes. She knows where all of them in the library are located.

•Gales favorite mental image is of John and Lou sitting on the floor of the library. Book in John’s lap, Lou next to him peering over. John’s telling Lou about all the different kinds of military aviation devices there is.

•John, although thousands of miles from Americas dairyland. Will not forget his Wisconsin dad mannerisms. Him and Lieb stand in the driveway together and drink and talk multiple times a week. John’s usually grilling something, they have the garage fridge that’s stocked full of bud light and diet come. (And some juice pouches for the girls.). He still has his midwestern accent, “you tell ya folks I says hi.” “bAg.” “Go packers and fuck da bears.” Gale is cringing everytime the accent comes out and plays. Gale ALSO hates the Midwest goodbyes, John’s a life long pro at them.

• “John let’s go you’ve said bye four times now.”

• “Wait a minute! Chick is fetching me his mom’s bread recipe!”

•This is how John gets his call sign Badger.

•He tells them that his call sign should just be Bucky. But Curt and the other guys have other thoughts. So, they start calling him Badger, well like, Bucky Badger. The states mascot. So, it stuck.

•Curt was John’s wingman until during their third tour Curt crashed. He lost his leg, lost his other best friend and back seater Dicky. Curt lore to come later!

•Web and Lieb have their daughter, Thalia through surrogacy from one of Joes sisters. Thalia is a lot like Lieb, hot headed, doesn’t think before she does, and has that Liebgott sass. She’s gotten herself into trouble a few time, as we know now, using that attitude. But she does carry some Webster in her, other than her Carmel curls just like Webs, she also loved books, She really likes writing stories in her journal.

•When Thalia was younger Lieb broke out his old guitar and tuned it. He would play and sing for her all the time. It would calm her down and he would sing her to sleep sometimes. Although he’d never admit that he sings.

•Curt and Lieb go to the same veterans support group at the VA together. Curt’s quickly became Thalias uncle too. Everyone loves Uncle Curt and his cool stories.

•Web and Lieb are just so happy together :)) even when Lieb is being a little shit and poking fun at him. Or when Web goes out on that damn boat that he knows Lieb hates. At the end of the day Web lets Lieb wrestle him for kisses in bed.

You know what I need to see more of? "Pet is my best friend/family" trope. Seriously.

Give me characters showing each other photos of their partners, kids, best friends etc and that one character who pulls out their phone saying "That's my Diego, the best friend and best family I have" and ta-da! their Diego is a rat.

Give me a character and their pet who are inseparable. "You go, I go". "You stay, I stay".

Give me a character in a burning house shouting to firefighters "No! My cat is there! I WON'T GO WITHOUT HER!!! Help me find her. Please, save her! She's everything I have. If she's dead, I wanna die here with her!".

Give me a drowning dog and their human bestie crying and shouting "Hold on, buddy! Don't give up, don't give up! I'm coming! I will save you. I promise! Just hold on!".

Give me a character and his animal both injured and suffering after some accident/natural disaster and this character begging paramedics "My friend needs your help more than I. Take him first, HIM FIRST... please!".

Give me character A trying to hurt an animal and character B growling "You mess with them, you mess with me".

Give me a character taking care of their sick pet. Giving all money (or looking for it) and time to keep them alive. Show me characters and their disabled animal friends.

Give me characters risking/being ready to sacrifice their lives for their animal friends. Give me characters who will do everything for their pets. Give me characters who truly see their animals as best friends or (only) family etc. Chosen/found friends. Characters who are not ashamed of that.

And show me other characters being serious and 'oh' and 'I understand' about it. No "hahaha", no mocking, no "you're such a weirdo". Just "they're your friend, your family, I get it, I feel you".

Also: give me animals saving their human friends. Be it a rescue or helping their human to heal (kind of therapy) or being the reason why human friend still finds this world worth living in.

Favorite movie from 01?

[Give me a year and I'll give you my favourite films / recommendations]

Perhaps "favourite" isn't the best word, perhaps the best word is "biggest obsession", but I have to go with Mulholland Drive. David Lynch is a very special case, you're either into him or you ain't, and arguments either way are of little use. I just want to note 2 things, about Lynch in general and Mulholland in particular:

Contrary to all appearances, it actually makes sense. It may be a weird sense, a dream sense (literally a dream, for like half of this movie), but it's not random.

It doesn't need to make sense to you to be enjoyable. It's perfectly cool to treat it like a trip, and just get lost in the highway sauce. You can revisit it later, and think about it and look up what others have made of it, but it's optional.

Now, these 4 are my favourite 2001 films:

Spirited Away needs no introduction, it's widely thought as the best Ghibli film, and I love it to bits.

I'm a complete sucker for Moulin Rouge! and for truth! beauty! freedom! love!, and will accept no criticism at this time.

El espinazo del diablo (The Devil's Backbone) is early Guillermo del Toro, and a sort of prelude to Pan's Labyrinth: it's horror, it's set during the Spanish Civil War, and it takes a stance, along with its own supernatural elements.

And I simply adore Hedwig and the Angry Inch (second musical lol). Does that need an introduction, on 2024 tumblr?

Also of interest:

Monster's Ball is the best from the rest, an incredible drama with Halle Berry's best performance. Very disturbing from start to finish. "Billy Bob Thornton plays a prison guard who begins a relationship with a woman (Halle Berry), unaware that she is the widow of a man (Sean Combs) he assisted in executing."

Ocean's Eleven is the fully on-brand film, it pretty much defined what modern American heist films should be like. No small feat!

Das Experiment: so the Stanford experiment inspired some notoriously bad takes, not least by Zimbardo himself. It also inspired this amazing film. Please don't bother with the pointless American remake. (I owe tumblr a serious post about the Stanford experiment btw, but this is not the place.)

The Brotherhood of the Wolf is surely the wackiest AND darkest action / horror / period / swashbukcling / wuxia / monster film out there. We're in 18th century France, there's the legendary beast of Gévaudan, and cults, and spies, and all of the above.

Il mestiere delle armi (The Profession of Arms) is a shoutout to @wearemercs, it's a realistic war film with landsknechts and condottieri in 16th century Italy, we don't see that every day.

@feyariel I remember that Metropolis was wonderful and I loved it, but not much else about it. Sorry, it's been a while and I have shit for memory!

Monsters, Inc.: not best Pixar, but good Pixar

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: can't leave this one out!

The Man Who Wasn't There: excellent neo-noir by the Cohens

Gosford Park: a whodunit set at an English country house, and the polar opposite of Downton Abbey (which goes at great lengths to convince us that masters deserve their servants' loyalty), ironically written by the same person

Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie): here begin the films that were adored back then, especially by the artsy/festival crowd, but I haven't seen them since and I've no idea how they've aged

Ghost World: based on the comic book by Daniel Clowes

Waking Life: Linklater, philosophy, rotoscope, Ethan Hawke's there, oh my!

Y tu mamá también: Alfonso Cuarón, road trips, sex, young Diego Luna, young Gael García Bernal, oh my!

Ichi the Killer: by Takashi Miike, based on Hideo Yamamoto's manga. do not watch this if you're not completely sure you wanna watch this lol

[doyoueverstopandthink]

umbrella academy characters as music on my playlist of my favorite classical pieces

luther: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 “Pastoral”: II. Szene am Bach: (Andante molto mosso) - Ludwig Van Beethoven (performed by Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique with John Eliot Gardiner as the conductor) 

fits season three luther the best

this is the lightest movement of the symphony, which i think fits in with him falling in love with sloane and working on growing through his childhood trauma

the last phrase of the piece is viewed as two birds taking flight. that’s literally him and sloane. 

diego: Träumerei (Kinderderszenen, Op. 15) - Gemafrei - Robert Schumann (performed by Ronny Matthes)

also fits season three diego best

this is from a collection of schumann writing pieces that highlight his life (this one is from his dreaming during childhood)

he now has a child (in stan and in his and lila’s biological child) and is essentially dreaming of all the ways he’s going to do better at raising his kid than his dad did for him

allison: Piano Sonata No. 3 in A Minor, Op. 28 - Sergei Prokofiev (performed by Matti Raekallio)

this is a piano sonata that doesn’t have actual movements separating it into chunks, just a vibe difference throughout different parts of it

the most technically demanding of prokofiev piano sonatas and he said it was “pretty, interesting, and practical” (which fits allison pretty well) 

klaus: Otello, Act 4: “Ave Maria” (Desdemona) - Guiseppe Verdi (performed by Cristina Gallardo-Domas, Maurizio Barbacini, and Das Münchner Rundfunkorchester)

desdemona’s last moments on stage before getting murdered by her husband, and she’s essentially saying “i love this man with my whole heart and i need to prove that to him before something drastic happens” 

klaus is very much so the same due to his whole “i love dave with my whole heart and i need to prove that to him before he dies in a war that uselessly killed a shit ton of people” 

they’re also both characters that are unapologetically in love

five: String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110: 1. Largo - Dmitri Shostakovich (performed by the Borodin Quartet)

if the second movement is five in seasons one and two, the first movement is five in season three

he’s pissed off with the world around him, yet he’s stuck with this bone deep tiredness that he can’t get rid of

he just wants all the difficulties in his life to fade away so he can go back to living as close to a normal life as he can

ben: Act 3: LII. Juliet’s Death - Sergei Prokofiev (performed by the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra with Vasily Petrenko as the conductor)

ben is dead in season one and two, but the audience knows that he’s still capable of interacting with others due to klaus’s powers, and the audience knows juliet isn’t actually dead, but romeo thinks she is

this movement is one of the most heart-wrenching in all of classical music 

the movement that follows is juliet’s actual death, ending on an even sadder note that this movement began with (similar to ben fucking dying again)

viktor: Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36: I. Andante sostenuto - Moderato con anima - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (performed by San Francisco Orchestra with Michael Tilson Thomas as the conductor)

it’s believed that tchaikovsky composed this when he was pissed off at the world for his inability to be openly queer and he just ended up being tired of everything

follows viktor’s storyline of coming into your true identity and trying to find a sense of confidence with it

lila: Piano Trio in G Major, L. 5: III. Andante espressivo - Claude Debussy (performed by Bertrand Chamayou)

very little is known about the history of the piece (which fits lila)

there’s a lot of emotion present with a lot of vibrato present in the stringed instruments, giving an additional sense of longing

the climax of the piece is very accented, giving it a sense of almost sadness and keeping that longing present

[scotianostra]

Happy Birthday actor Tommy Flanagan who turns 58 today.

Flanagan was born in Eaterhouse, Glasgow on July 3rd 1965, the former painter and decorator got into acting after a stint DJ'ing and a violent episode which left him with his distinctive scars, he was randomly attacked outside a Glasgow bar, slashed horribly and robbed.

His friend Robert Carlyle then persuaded him to join him with his theatre company, Raindog Theatre, but it was not an overnight success for either of them as Flannagan admitted in an interview neither of them ha “a pot to piss in” he remembers “touring the Highlands in this old blue Transit van, but it had a broken window. It was so freezing inside, one of us had to hold a piece of cardboard up to stop the wind coming in.”

Two years later, he, and almost every other actor in Scotland, appeared in Braveheart. But Flanagan stood out. Mel Gibson told him to come to America. A year later, the Scot did, but the journey west was more about being with his then wife Rachel, an American film producer. Rachel, was from San Diego and he followed her home.

Of course Tommy had appeared in a couple of things beforehand, the obligatory Taggart being the standout, but it was after the William Wallace romp that he got noticed, Rab C Nesbit, A Mugs Game and The Saint followed that, of The Saint, he confirms something I assumed for a few years "Val Kilmer is a prick”.

Tommy got roles in Face Off , The Game and Plunkett & Macleane before the excellent Ratcatcher, set in 1970’s Glasgow and written and directed by fellow Glaswegian Lynne Ramsay, Flanagan plays the main part’s Da, George Gillespie, if you haven’t seen it do so, it’s a great film. One person who agrees with me about Ratcatcher is actress Drew Barrymore, who had seen Tommy in the film and called him up and offered him a part, of the film Tommy admits “You get to have your ass kicked by Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. What’s bad about that?” Who gave you the best ass-kicking? “That’d be Lucy.”

Among Tommy’s other films are Trauma, Smoking Aces and Sin City, he was making a steady living in Hollywood but it wasn’t until the part of Filip ‘Chibs’ Telford in Sons of Anarchy in 2008 that people started recognising him for his acting, rather than the glesga guy in the films with scar, he is also an occasional face in the spin off Mayans MC.

The series was an international hit. But Flanagan had mixed feelings about the role. His character was called Chibs, for a start. Flanagan didn’t miss the irony; he’d gone to Hollywood to forget the worst memories of Glasgow life and was playing the sort of creature who’d attacked him.

Flanagan admits to previously playing up to the hard man characters he portrays, but his wild days have been behind him since meeting Dina his second wife, they have been married for 12 years now and they have a daughter together.

Tommy has recently appeared in the TV series’, Westworld and Wu Assassins which are on Sky Atlantic and Netflix respectively. We also seen him in the movie There Are No Saints, teaming up with SOA co-star Ron Perlman and fellow Scot Brian Cox, I wasn’t impressed with the film, but if you like action and gore you might want to give it a go.

I have been more impressed with Tommy in the latest instalments of the Power Book series, where protagonist Tommy Egan heads for Chicago and pits his wits against Walter Flynn, played by Flanagan. The series can be viewed as a stand alone, or you can go back and watch the beginnings in Power, which ran from 2014 to 2020.

Tommy will be back with season two of the gangster saga which is premiering on September 1st. Tommy has two movie projects set for next year, Road Movie Casey and Mary and Sleeping Dogs.

Iron Butterfly is an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1966. They are best known for the 1968 hit "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida", providing a dramatic sound that led the way towards the development of hard rock and heavy metal music. Although their heyday was the late 1960s, the band has been reincarnated with various members with varying levels of success with no new recordings since 1975. Their second album, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (1968), remains a best-seller, and Iron Butterfly was the first group to receive an In-House platinum album award from Atlantic Records. Their music has found a significant impact on the international rock scenes, influencing numerous acts such as Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Rush, Alice Cooper, Mountain, Uriah Heep, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Slayer, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, and Queens of the Stone Age.

The band had been booked to play at Woodstock in August 1969 but got stuck at New York City's LaGuardia Airport. They explained their situation to the concert promoters and asked for patience. Their manager, however, sent a telegram demanding that Iron Butterfly be flown in by helicopter, whereupon they would "immediately" take the stage. After their set, they would be paid and flown back to the airport. According to drummer Bushy, "We went down to the Port Authority three times and waited for the helicopter, but it never showed up". Woodstock production coordinator John Morris claims he sent the manager a telegram reading: "For reasons I can't go into / Until you are here / Clarifying your situation / Knowing you are having problems / You will have to find / Other transportation / Unless you plan not to come." The acrostic formed by the first letter of each line in the telegram (FUCK YOU), made it clear that the band was not welcome.

There are a lot of stories about bands that almost made it to Woodstock but for various reasons failed or declined invites, but of all the acts that were invited and accepted the offer, none came closer than Iron Butterfly. They were only a helicopter ride away, but alas that helicopter 🚁 never came.

The Best Artists in History

Throughout history, there have been some truly remarkable artists who have created works of art that stand the test of time. From painters and sculptors to photographers and musicians, these iconic figures have left an indelible mark on society.

Here is a look at some of the greatest artists in history and their incredible contributions to art, culture, and humanity as a whole. Their lives were filled with creativity, passion, hard work and dedication which propelled them into lasting fame.

Through examining their biographical details such as where they lived and worked; their creative process; major achievements throughout their career; we can gain insight into how these talented individuals shaped our world today.

Introduce the concept of great artists in history and their lasting legacy

Throughout history, art has been a reflection of society and its culture. For hundreds of years, people have used art to express their feelings. The best artists are the ones whose work is still remembered and talked about long after they die.

These artists were creative and had new ideas. They also worked very hard to perfect their skills. In this article, we will explore the lives of some of these iconic figures whose influence still remains strong today.

Explore the biographical details of iconic figures such as where they lived, worked and their creative process

The lives and works of these great artists can be traced back to the places they lived and worked in.

For example, Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch painter who was born in Leiden, Netherlands in 1606. He later moved to Amsterdam, where he became one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age.

His creative process involved both careful planning and spontaneous improvisation. For example, he would carefully study light and shadow, and then use free-flowing brushwork to create outstanding works such as The Night Watch (1642). Another great example is Leonardo da Vinci who lived during the Italian Renaissance.

He was famous for being curious and creative. He studied different things like anatomy, engineering, mathematics, music and art. And he used all of those things to create amazing works of art like The Last Supper (1495-1497).

Examine major achievements throughout their careers

The greatest artists in history have left a lasting legacy with the works they created during their lifetimes. For instance, Michelangelo Buonarroti was renowned for his sculptures and paintings, such as the iconic David (1504), and Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes (1508-1512). He also designed architectural structures such as the Laurentian Library (1524) and St.

Peter’s Basilica (1546). Another great figure is Spanish painter, Diego Velazquez who is considered one of the most influential Baroque painters in history. His works such as Las Meninas (1656) are masterpieces that contain a wealth of symbolism and complexity.

My stuff

The Chrysopoeia of Victoria Harvey: My current work-in-progress. It's a comic following a few mage apprentice children growing up in hard times, getting tangled in the messes of the adults around them, without giving up the joys of being fascinated by weird stuff and making friends. Mirror. PT-BR Version.

Noturno em Sol Maior (my published novel - BR Portuguese only, sorry): Grumpy sickly teenage girl is investigating a death and a disappearance. Talkative vampire teenager can't stop teasing her instead of just handing over information. Things get serious when you least expect.

Bram & Vlad: Comic strip meant to make fun of vampire tropes, starring the descendants of the characters in the book Dracula. It's run is already finished, but there's plenty of extra material.

Bram's Vampire Hunter Handbook: About 30 chapters of DETAILED descriptions of vampire anatomy, powers, hunting behaviour, dating habits, as well as the best hunting weapons, tactics and team formations (and more!).

The Green Star: The first draft of a book that I'm now working to divide and two and expand. It's a collection of episodes in two very different timelines: 1) the first few decades of the life of Auguste Lavert, legendary vampire Encyclopaedist of the 18th century and 2) how Auguste and Cidinha das Mercês, a young and poor aspiring artist, met in the 80's and their ace sex-repulsed butts finally found someone they feel comfortable around.

It happens in the same universe as Noturno em Sol Maior. Auguste's daughter Helena is a secondary character in Noturno, and Diego's vampire mother is Alexander van Allen's wet nurse. You could say that Noturno in Sol Major and adjacent stories are the Next Gen spin-off/sequel of the main storyline with the Van Allens, Auguste and Charlie.

(Somewhen in the next few years, The Green Star will be expanded to portray more of Auguste's adventures while collecting data, being framed by an interview done by Cidinha, and the romance part [which was supposed to be the framing, but grew out of control] will become Sanguine and Ink, also featuring some extra scenes.)

But somehow,  Daniel Padilla, Alwyn Uytingco, Dominic Roco, Felix Roco, Rocco Nacino and Enchong Dee were from TV5 from 2005 until 2010. But eventually, They will renew a contract of TV5 from 2013 until 2015.

However, Daniel Padilla will sign a temporary contract from GMA in 2015 with Xian Lim.

The Christmas Station ID theme will be re-used in the 2011 Christmas Station ID from TV5 which is “Magpasaya ang Kapatid” but with minor changes and explosions. Somehow, The Christmas Station ID in 2011 will also feature Blue the Puppy from Disney’s Blues Clues saying “That’s a Spicy Meatball!”. But eventually, The line “That’s a Spicy Meatball!” will be re-used in the 2015 Summer Station ID of TV5 which is “Happy Ka Dito This Summer!”

Best of Edvard Grieg - Classical Music Gems

"Quando respirar é sua única alternativa de sobrevivência, mas sua coluna e pulmão lhe acerta como um punhal, rasga sua alma, dilacera sua expiração e só lhe resta a inspiração." Edvard Hagerup Grieg

Grieg's grief ( O Pesar de Grieg)

Por: Fred Borges

Não é fácil falar sobre algo tão trágico como um aborto espontânea, principalmente quando esse doloroso momento envolve o sonho que muitas mulheres acalentam de serem mães, por essa razão em respeito a todas as essas mulheres que passaram por essa dor dilacerante,resolvi expressar pela arte esse momento, contextualizando duas obras.

Palavras-chave são: pesar( Grief), luto( Mourning),esperança( Hope) e fé ( Faith).

A artista plástica Frida Kahlo tinha um histórico médico obstétrico/ginecológico complicado. Ela sobreviveu a um acidente de trânsito catastrófico no qual sua pélvis foi quebrada e sua vagina foi perfurada por uma barra de metal.Ela tinha cicatrizes uterinas.Ela também apresentava sintomas pós-poliomielite; seu pai tinha epilepsia, que ela aparentemente temia que fosse uma característica genética transmitida aos filhos;ela sofria de dores crônicas nas costas e infecções diversas; e segundo todos os relatos ela queria desesperadamente ter um filho gerado por seu marido, o também artista plástico e muralista Diego Rivera.

Kahlo tinha 24 anos na época de sua gravidez no verão de 1932. Segundo a biógrafa de Kahlo, Hayden Herrera, em 26 de maio ela escreveu ao amigo e conselheiro Dr. Leo Eloesser que estava grávida de dois meses e havia ido ver o Dr. Na carta, ela detalhou suas dúvidas sobre sua capacidade de ter um filho saudável, desafios com sua agenda, sua falta de apoio familiar e a incapacidade de Rivera de ser pai.(Kahlo considerava Rivera uma espécie de criança,e o pintou como tal em pelo menos uma ocasião.) O Dr. Pratt deu a Kahlo óleo de rícino (um purgante conhecido por induzir contrações uterinas) e quinino. , que juntos eram uma fórmula para induzir o aborto espontâneo, ou seja, um aborto medicamentoso.Após aproximadamente seis dias de contrações leves, ela voltou ao Dr. Pratt. Ele disse que ela ainda estava grávida, que achava que ela poderia e deveria continuar grávida e que o parto cesáreo era possível e resolveria os problemas que ele previa para a gravidez. Kahlo escreveu ao Dr. Eloesser sobre sua ambivalência, buscando sua orientação sobre se deveria ou não realizar um aborto cirúrgico (presumivelmente dilatação e curetagem ou dilatação e evacuação). Mas depois de enviar a primeira carta, de acordo com Herrera, "Frida decidiu contra o aborto [cirúrgico], esperando contra todas as esperanças que o Dr. Pratt estivesse certo."

A artista Lucienne Bloch, que morava com Rivera e Kahlo em Detroit, relatou que, no final de junho, Kahlo estava com manchas (sangramento no início da gravidez), cólicas e náuseas, mas também se recusava a voltar ao Dr. Na noite de 4 de julho, Kahlo estava com fortes dores e sangrando muito. Rivera chamou uma ambulância na manhã de 5 de julho. Em seu diário, Bloch descreveu Kahlo como sendo levada pelo médico "nas agonias do nascimento... da poça de sangue que ela havia feito... dos enormes coágulos de sangue que ela continuava perdendo".

De acordo com outra carta de Kahlo para Eloesser, o feto "não tomou forma, pois saiu todo desintegrado". Esta linguagem sugere uma gravidez inviável e subsequente decomposição.Kahlo permaneceu no hospital até 17 de julho.Se a experiência retratada tanto no Hospital Henry Ford quanto em uma litografia sem título relacionada deve ser caracterizada como um aborto ou um aborto espontâneo permanece um tópico polêmico nos estudos de arte.

A segunda obra é uma escultura.

O Túmulo de Maria Magdalena Langhans, de Johann August Nahl. Nahl foi hospedado pelo pastor e sua esposa Maria Magdalena, grávida de 28 anos, quando ela morreu durante o parto. Comovido com isso, ele decidiu, por si mesmo e sem ser incumbido de ninguém, fazer esta sepultura para ela. Tornou-se um grande local de peregrinação durante os 150 anos seguintes.

Esculpida a partir de um único bloco de arenito cinza, a obra (225 cm de comprimento e 118 cm de largura) representa um túmulo que se divide em três partes: 1. Vemos Maria Magdalena Langhans e seu filho por uma fresta do túmulo rachado, tentando sair do túmulo, olhando para o céu. A criança, nua, também levanta o braço em direção ao céu. A mãe está parcialmente velada com um pano. 2-Símbolos de morte e os brasões das famílias Langhans e Weber são visíveis no túmulo destruído, assim como diversas inscrições.

A inscrição central foi especialmente composta por Albrecht von Haller: “Ouça o toque da trombeta, ela ecoa pela sepultura / Desperta, meu filho da tristeza, deposite seus restos mortais / Apresse-se ao seu Redentor, sobre quem a morte e o tempo têm não há espera / E todo sofrimento desaparece na salvação eterna”, sendo publicado sob o título Auf das Grabmal einer Wöchnerin (“No Túmulo de uma Parturiente”) com pequenas variações nas obras do poeta. Lemos também no túmulo: “Senhor, aqui estou, eu e o filho que me deste!"

A própria gravura funerária diz: “Nesta esperança da ressurreição / Depositaram os ossos da mulher / Maria Magdalena Langhans / nascida Wäber / 8 de agosto de 1725 / morreu na véspera da Páscoa de 1751 / Seu marido enlutado / Georg Langhans / Pastor de Hindelbank.

Sem dúvidas, as dores do aborto espontâneo e o luto que segue só são superadas pela fé e esperança,tento imaginar, mas não consigo, a dor de um aborto provocado e como consequência por exemplo uma infecção generalizada ou mesmo uma esterilidade permanente, sinceramente sei que para o aborto espontânea que haverá a inspiração na vida que se renova a cada dia e que nada, nada mesmo, como um dia após o outro e quanto ao último é preciso muito mais bases ou fundamentações de todos envolvidos direta ou indiretamente nesse ato e nas suas consequências.

A cada amanhecer a Natureza ensina a natureza humana a se avaliar, se renovar,se modificar; folhas caem na terra, árvores "sangram" suas seivas,serras ou bisturis cortam e provocam "hemorragias", o bisturi elétrico cauteriza e a refaz adubada, fértil,a abundância vem da escassez,a inovação vem de renovação,o amadurecimento do corpo vem do rejuvenescimento da alma, o corpo da mulher se prepara, a família se molda, todos se apressam a preparar para o grande acontecimento, na natureza tudo também é assim, a terra, a água,, toda ela espera pela luz do sol, a única diferença é que a Natureza não se destrói deliberadamente, tudo tem um propósito ou uma razão.Que se faça sol para Fridas e Marias!

Para os demais, resguardando as devidas exceções, a responsabilidade e consequências de suas ações, mesmo com todos os métodos anticonceptivos ou antiabortivos,de planejamento familiar e políticas estruturais e estruturantes de saúde pública.

i think i have a right to express my honest opinion when it comes to my best friend. (@guiltymnd)

Foi tão rápido que ele nem teve tempo de computar o que estava fazendo. Kit passou o olhar pela bancada e pegou o que menos fazia peso. No caso, a chave de fenda entortada pelo último projeto. Arremessou sem grandes miras, só para interromper aquele falatório ousadíssimo. ⸤ 🔥 ⸣ ⸻ Claro que tem, Polenguinho. ， Começou fincando os cotovelos na mesa, mantendo o pergaminho aberto para o carvão assentar corretamente. Aqueles projetos eram tão secretos quanto o primeiro homem-de-ferro no filme da Marvel. ⸤ 🔥 ⸣ ⸻ Tem todo o direito do mundo de dar sua opinião desde que ela tenha sido pedida. Eu pedi? Não. Então quietinho porque ainda não terminei. Pelos deuses, logo essa agora! ， Resmungou por baixo do fôlego, balançando a cabeça em negação. ⸤ 🔥 ⸣ ⸻ E sem nem me trazer um café-da-manhã na cama, um suco de tangerina, sem me dar um beijo no rosto. Francamente, Diego, você não era assim não. Você piorou. ，
