#Duo Date

[eurovision-revisited]

2001 Copenhagen - Number 17 - Patrícia Colaço & Duo Demo - "Choro no fado"

This feels like another one of those lost opportunities. A proper fado that won its heat in Festival da Canção (50 songs this year!), then finished second in the final by only five points. This was in a year during which RTP took the Festival out and around Portugal, holding each heat in a different city and having a celebration of traditional Portuguese music in every location. Unfortunately the final was not broadcast live for the first time in history owing to the national tragedy surrounding the collapse of the bridge in the Entre-os-Rios disaster. There was no televote. It's not known which jury voted for which song or how this managed not to win.

Choro no fado (Crying in Fado) is another song to which I do not have the lyrics, in this case a terrible shame as this is one of those songs that really brings a national musical culture and endeavours to present it to the whole of Europe. It's a delicate song of loss and sadness. For what I'm unsure, but given this is fado, its possibly more about the feeling of passing and melancholy than it is about the loss itself. It is beautiful, delicate, and sung and performed wonderfully.

This is the only year that either Patrícia Colaço or any of the members of Duo Demo performed at FdC, and reading an interview with Zé Manuel Martins, one of them members of Duo Date, it's clear they felt that the controversy surrounding the live broadcast of the final affect the outcome. It's also clear what he felt about the song that won...

Since this final, Patrícia and the members have continued performing at traditional music festivals, touring and organising performances of fado all over Portugal, Europe and the wider lusophone world

if you told kageyama and hinata that they could improve their timing and strengthen their hitter/setter bond by kissing they would immediately start making out. even if they weren’t interested in the other like that at all before, those boys would do anything for volleyball

What if, instead of the Sorcerers' Society being just a small organization with a headquarters, it was instead a hidden city or capital where not only could sorcerers go to for assistance and to get their licenses, but could safely live and learn without having to put so much effort into hiding their magic from general human public? (Something similar to Witch Hat Atelier perhaps)

A hidden away capital with houses and apartments and magical shops selling everything a sorcerer would ever need. Where they can safely converse on the street and network and apprentices can talk to each other and swap tales of their lessons and masters.

Out in the expanse of the human world, it's hard to come by each other so having a place to live like that would be great.

But also it would make Solomon getting chased out by a dragon so much funnier (or sadder) since he and the mystery apprentice would have been the ones to found the Sorcerers' Society in the first place.

He would probably own his own house there and come back there whenever there was a meeting he had to attend or some urgent matter to discuss. Solomon wouldn't stay there longer than he usually had to and his property is usually empty.

But when sorcerers usually take in an apprentice, that apprentice lives with their master in order to make the most of learning opportunities and a lot of them tend to move back to the Sorcerers' Society for convenience.

If Solomon was able to convince MC to live with him for "educational purposes" completely separate from the brothers and Devildom, who's to say he wouldn't give living amongst his peers an honest try once more?

For your childhood friends au, how do you see the relationship between Jason and Danny??? Like do you see it as platonic, romantic, some secret third thing or some amalgamation of all of these that only makes sense to them???

oh definitely a bizarre amalgamation of all three of these things that only makes sense to them. They'd crawl under the other's skin if they could, if it meant never leaving the other's side ever again. Jason would climb into Danny's chest to listen to his heart, and vice versa. The secret third thing: so utterly devoted to one another that the lines blur. If you took a peek at their souls, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It's a gradient they've smudged together.

If somebody told Jason and Danny to "keep their dog on a leash", neither of them would who is which. They're based on the song "Wait For Me" from Hadestown (Both Versions). They are also the song "Far Away From Tulsa" and "Death's At My Door" from the Outsiders. Although I discovered those songs only over this summer.

If they were somehow transported into a universe with soulmates, they would not have matching marks, but they wouldn't have to. Danny or Jason would grab a pen and draw their own on each other. "Why should I share my soul with someone I don't know? I want to share it with you!"

Q: So who does the ship maintenance? F: Oh, we do. Since we built the thing, we can't really just send her off somewhere, you know? It's- It's a bit finicky but not super hard. Ren, though, seems to suffer every time we need to change the oil. R: Dude- Listen, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but every single time it's freaking- oilage. All over my face. I don't know how to do it! F: Well, you're gonna have to learn, you can’t expect me to be doing it for you ten years from now, don't you? Sloy, X. (3011, January 6, Common).

[Grian's wedding]

Pearl: When I was around eight, Grian and Taurtis went out to play paintball one day, and I love playing paintball, so when Taurtis came over and wanted to play, I asked if I could join. And they shot me down, like any older brother would do to any little sister.

Pearl: But like any other little sister, I ran upstairs, got my stuff anyway, and I was gonna follow whether they liked it or not!

Pearl: But when I got downstairs, they were gone. So I picked up a couple of Grian's paintballs and threw them against the neighbor's house.

Grian: WHAT? Are you serious?!

Pearl: So Grian assured the neighbors and our parents that it couldn't have been him or Taurtis because neither of their paintballs were that color.

Grian: I GOT IN SO MUCH TROUBLE FOR THAT!

Mrs. Grian: *dying of laughter*

Pearl: Neither the neighbors nor our parents believed him and made him clean it up, and I knew I'd have to tell eventually, but wow did I really want to watch TV that day.

Pearl: So I bring this up 19 years later as a wedding gift to him, for closure. I'm the one who threw those paintballs. So thank you for letting me watch TV that day.

I don't care how wishfulfilment-y and ooc it is but I like to think that after C! Wilbur moved to Utah, he kind of healed a bit and reflected on a lot of his actions and he's in some community service job because he feels like he's making amends for what he's done by doing it (and also he likes feeling important and like he's helping people). And maybe he's taken up a writing hobby, and he has a book in the works and he keeps rewriting his drafts but he is genuinely having fun for what feels like the first time in a long time. He still occasionally goes back to his old bad habits but he's in a better place now and he's made some new friends and connections. He still tries to keep contact with some of the people he knew though.

He's trying to give Tommy some space but also trying to keep in touch and he's been semi successful with it. He's given Fundy complete space and tries to respect his decision that he doesn't want him in his life anymore but he does try to leave the door open for if Fundy ever changes his mind even if he doesn't count on it. He's sent Tubbo a letter but hasn't gotten a response and doesn't think he will. He's tried getting closer to Niki and it hasn't exactly worked out but they're still in contact and send eachother letters at least once every 5 months (the letters take a while though because they both live far away). He did see her when he visited Philza once though. And even if they're not as close as they used to be, he's glad they're able to keep in touch after everything.

Him and Quackity surprisingly exchange letters quite oftenly. It started out with Wilbur sending him one to properly apologise since he never got the chance to and it had been on his mind and to his surprise, Quackity actually replied (with a snarky response but a response nonetheless). And then it kind of became a pattern for them to send eachother letters quite regularly since Utah and Las Nevadas aren't that far apart so it travels faster. Their letters range from playful stupid banter to insights about eachothers weeks to snarky remarks laced with genuine advice to occasional glimpses of sincerity and care. Despite everything they're actually on pretty decent terms and Quackity's actually visiting him in a week. Wilbur's quite excited and giddy about it even if he won't admit it

Overall he's in a better place now even if there's a still lot of things to work on and even if what he's done still haunts him some days, he's coming to terms with it. He hasn't healed completely nor is he really truly happy but he's getting there and maybe it will be okay
