#French sounds like a dying cat

[lagomoz]

Proseka headcanons

-as rui’s childhood friend, nene has extensive fire safety knowledge

-shizuku is adopted, hence why she looks so different from shiho. she was adopted shortly before the moon rabbit event and it contributed to her clinginess

-shiho forgets this fact sometimes. she’ll casually mention something like shizuku got all mom’s good genes so unfair and ichika has to be. um. shiho

-kanade is mildly nearsighted/myopic but spends so much time at her computer she hasn’t noticed

-emu is buff. she climbs multiple stories without breaking a sweat and is canonically part of the swimming, handball and rhythmic gymnastic clubs, you can’t tell me she doesn’t have some muscle

-saki helps out as a human notepad for tsukasa, reminding of him things he would otherwise forget within 5 minutes

-the vocaloids also help. at first it was unnerving to have hatsune miku be an extension of his psyche that knows his darkest secret (stole saki’s candy when he was 6) but now his phone has a more reliable catgirl themed reminder system

-you know that classic nightmare of leaving the house without pants? tsukasa has legitimately done that as a kid. he forgor. (saki will never let him live it down)

-in the kamiyama student council/hall monitor room, an has put up at sign saying “_ days since last kamishiro incident”

-the shinonome siblings both figured out the other one was gay before they figured it out about themselves

-airi’s great at trivia from her time as a variety show star. she still can’t beat minori at idol trivia, though

-ena keeps a diary with fort knox level security. try to read it and you’ll lose a finger

-saki learned to crochet from the old ladies in the hospital

-shiho’s most treasured phenny is a somewhat lumpy crocheted phenny holding a very lumpy crocheted bass guitar

-tsukasa snores. he falls asleep in 10 seconds and sounds like a dying lawnmower

-mizuki has learned a small bit of french from their sister and uses it exclusively to teach rui and an how to swear in french

-emu still celebrates her grandfather’s birthday, even if he’s not there to celebrate with her

-ena is allergic to dogs, the middle point to airi’s cat allergy and akito’s dog phobia

-rui has various small scars from his experiments over the years, but nobody ever believes the real causes (rocket launcher, robot bite, exploding balloon animal, etc.) so he just makes up a new cause every time someone asks

-mmj! has had repeated incidents of minori and airi’s little siblings walking into frame when streaming at their houses. shiho understands the concept of a livestream but has still been caught failing at creeping past like that one new broadcast of the guy crawling along the floor

-kanade has pots & eds, this one I have a reason for look at her symptoms. chronic exhaustion, heat and cold intolerance, comorbid sleep issues and depression, dizziness when standing up, fainting after standing up, very pale skin, family history of medical issues, pain at normal physical activities, exercise intolerance, vertigo at mild exertion, she just fucking dies during the entire baseball event, I could go on. she canonically gets pain in her hands from opening a jar girl that is not just being out of shape that is physical disability. this one I will go conspiracy board on listen to me I’m right

-kohane ate bugs as a kid. an is horrified, toya is confused, akito is impressed

-ena and airi got in trouble in middle school because they’d keep starting fist fights in defense of the others honor. if they saw the other in a fight they’d jump in guns blazing no hesitation no questions ask ready to throw the fuck down

-vbs!rin and len were given a skateboard by an and then promptly had the skateboard confiscated by meiko for property destruction

-haruka is horrible with slang. she asks the stream chat what poggers means and immediately uses it completely wrong, killing all viewers on impact

-minori is torn between thinking it’s cute and wanting to die

-toya has been banned from arcades before because he made them lose too much money/they suspected he was cheating

-ena brought kanade over for girls night and nearly scared akito half to death because he went down to get a late night snack and there was some Ghastly Creature looming in his kitchen

-kohane's parents stick out like a sore thumb when going to her live shows. it mortifies her that everyone on vivid street can recognize them as the only milquetoast middle aged couple dressed in normal clothes loudly going YOU'RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE that don't know the first thing about music

-minori knows basic programming. she mostly uses it for forums, blogs, html, other web design things usually related to idols as a hobby, but she's become the groups designated anti-shizuku tech support

-mafuyu has always been able to see ghosts but after adults figured she was just playing pretend as a kid so she shrugged and figured it was normal and not worth bringing up again

-honami has one of those massive extended families and somehow keeps track of them all. at any given time cousin #57 can crawl out of the woodwork and she remembers their new job, favorite food, past three romantic relationships and list of allergic reactions

-mizuki does doll customizing as a hobby. they prefer making human sized clothes, but it's fun to make them miniature too. they've introduced shizuku to it and she loves it, but doesn't have the heart to do anything that would hurt the doll (sawing limbs off, dunking them in boiling water, shoving wires in them, etc.)

FRENCH AS IN...?

— gojo satoru x afab!reader, mutual pining, academic rivalish friends?, suggestive, collage au!

the evening found satoru and her lounging side by side in his apartment, having just wrapped up a grueling assignment.

the soft strains of françoise hardy's music filled the room, emanating from her phone, while he was engrossed in an intense online chess match.

as the song played on, she suddenly broke the silence. “hey, satoru, do you know french?”

he paused, momentarily confused. his attention had been so absorbed in the game that he hadn’t registered the music’s language, he was completely out of context. assuming she meant something different, he interpreted her question in a more... personal way.

what now, after insulting him non-stop and annoying him by saying no one will ever put up with his narcissistic, egoistic, insufferable, stupid character and how he'll probably die alone with his cat snow; she was suddenly interested in his personal life?

after a brief hesitation, he turned to face her, a confused look on his face. “uh, why do you ask?”

she shrugged, her gaze a little annoyed. she has always been jelaous of how well-rounded he was. he was not only the star player of the soccer team but the way he pulled off every single electric guitar solo she swooned over, the way he competed against her in one of the only fields she was assertive in, playing the piano. as if all these weren't enough, he still managed to keep her on her toes, threatening the academic throne she worked so hard to keep to herself.

“well, since there’s nothing you can’t do well and nothing you don’t know about, i just wondered if you know it too.” she admitted begrudgingly, the playful roll of her eyes made him question the whole ordeal even further.

but still assuming she was referring to something more intimate, he gave her a nonchalant shrug. “yeah, i know it.” he wasn’t quite sure why she was asking, but he figured he might as well answer.

her eyes lit up with excitement, and she leaned in closer. “really? could you tutor me? i’ve been dying to learn french! there were a couple of times i tried to finally give it a go but it always scared me off a little, you know?”

wow, okay.

satoru’s mind went blank. her request for a “french tutor” threw him off completely. he was momentarily distracted as his chess match ended with his opponent’s victory. shaking off his confusion, he turned back to her, processing the situation. “you want me to... teach you?”

she nodded, oblivious to the misunderstanding. “yeah! i’ve always wanted to learn. why do you look so surprised?” she let out a nervous chuckle.

satoru slowly leaned in closer, his heart racing. “are you sure about this?” she was taken aback by the sudden proximity, her cheeks flushing. “yes...?” she managed to reply. though, through her voice it was obvious she was slightly confused.

he reached for the water bottle beside him. "why do you wanna learn it anyway?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. he kept eye contact as the water flowed down his throat, cooling his senses a bit. why would someone want to learn it and ask for it? you get the hang of it when you... just do it with someone you want to... kiss, right? that's not something to ask of your... well certainly not someone you can't even name your relation with.

she pondered for a second. "well... it is very useful in some areas and i kinda like the way it sounds."

he almost choked. coughing as she patted on his back worriedly. "h- hey! are you okay? god, you can't even drink water properly."

he composed himself, clearing his throat before taking a glance at her out the corner of his eye.

well, she was certainly not the type to bring up this kind of topic, especially with him. his gaze lingered on her for a few seconds, the way she looked at him with those both despising and amused eyes; her lips forming a slight smirk as her hand still rested on his back.

he's gotta be honest. he really wondered how it would be like to kiss her. always so aloof and teasing, enjoying to have the upper-hand, nagging at him and making fun of him every chance she gets. the desire to have her putty in his hands made the adrenalin surge through his veins. she doesn't seem like the type to melt in his arms as his lips moved against hers though. but since she wants to learn it, does this mean she's completely inexperienced?

the imagary of her with burning cheeks and laboured breath made something snap in him. having her arms wrapped around his neck as he felt her heart pounding against his chest, the way she would feel so desperate to have his flushed lips on hers again, minds hazy with the dance of their tongues seconds ago but she just can't seem to get enough of his addicting taste you know? oh and the way his hands would slide up her sh-

hey! get a grip, man!

he shut his eyes and rubbed his temples before turning to face her. they just sat in silence for a few moments before he sighed and leaned in. "you want to... you sure?"

her hands found their place on his chest to make him keep his distance. was he acting weird or was it her? she couldn't quite understand his strange behaviour but she let out a hesitant 'yes'.

with that confirmation, he closed the gap between them, capturing her lips in a sweet, gentle kiss. his large hands on both sides of her face, his thumb caressing her cheek bones.

he wasn't even sure what he was doing. his mind was spinning with both perplexity and desire. why was he doing this? he just momentarily craved her touch but kissing her was like they had crossed a boundary they hadn’t intended to.

the initial contact was tender, but as he deepened the kiss, it grew more passionate, his tongue lightly brushing against hers. her eyes widened in shock, and she pulled away, her face burning bright red. “what- what are you doing?” she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

satoru looked just as flustered, his own cheeks tinged pink. “well, didn’t you ask me to teach you french kissing?”

she was mortified, her mind racing as she realized the mix-up. “no, I meant french as in the language! i didn’t mean... that!” she hated how her stomach twisted and how something in her chest fluttered.

the room fell into a stunned silence. her gulps were audible though. neither of them could muster the words to comment on what had just happened. the unexpected kiss, combined with the misunderstanding, left them both too embarrassed to even tease each other.

satoru cleared his throat, his usual confident demeanor completely absent. “so, uh, we... we should probably just forget about this.”

she nodded quickly, still blushing furiously. “yes, definitely. i... i didn’t mean for any of that to happen.”

the air was thick with awkwardness, and despite the lingering embarrassment, there was a shared understanding that the situation was more than just a simple mix-up. and now, both were grappling with the newfound complexity of their feelings.

with a final awkward glance, they turned back to their respective tasks, the playful and teasing dynamic they once shared replaced with an uncertain, lingering tension. they had literally kissed, and the implications of that were far beyond their usual banter.

let me know if you want a steamier part two! ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧

[raapija]

Strollonso headcanons that haunt me:

They got together in 2018, Lance had just turned 20 and Fernando was 37.

Lance was the first person to settle Fernando down as he was previously known as a bit of a playboy.

They had to keep the relationship secret as both of them would be accused of corporate espionage. (especially not a good look on Fernando... remembering spygate) The rules were changed later in 2021 when Fernando signed with Alpine.

During Fernando's time off from F1, they came out and it was a bit of a scandalous affair. The media tried to drag Lance but Fernando went on a full-on campaign to support him so they moved on from it in a few weeks.

Fernando buys little gifts for him all the time and Lance pretends to be annoyed but actually loves it.

They mostly talk in English, but occasionally slip into French which sounds like complete nonsense to everyone else because of their accents. But they understand each other perfectly fine.

They got married in 2023 during the summer break. It was a small wedding with just family and some close friends. Lance's parents wanted a Jewish wedding, Fernando's family a Christian wedding. They ended up with a civil officiate to stop them from fighting.

They have two dogs; a shiba inu named Nyla and a golden retriever named Rósa. They treat them like their own kids and they often travel with them to the races.

Lance will tell you that they're polar opposites in their personality; he is quiet and more reserved, Nando is a chatterbox and slightly insane. Fernando thinks it's the other way around (delusion).

They would want to have a family but both of them are too stubborn to retire and become a home dad, so, it's on hold.

When Lance is around, Fernando is banned from practicing any kind of magic tricks as it makes Lance feel dumb for not figuring them out and Nando refuses to tell him how they work.

They have an ongoing bet on which one of them turns gray first. It's currently almost tied and Lance is worrying he's going to lose. (<- suspects Nando of cheating and dying his hair)

They mainly stay in Canada at Lance's or Switzerland at Fernando's house, but spend at least the minimum time in Monaco for taxes 💅 Also Spain. And thinking about Japan, bc Nando is obsessed with the country.

Every formal function they're invited to, Lance has to be dragged in like a cat refusing to go in a bathtub.

They've done Daytona 24h together, with Lando as their 3rd team mate.

Lance has a bad habit of forgetting jewellery everywhere and losing rings all the time which is why Fernando peppers him with pretty things. It also causes Fernando to wear both their wedding rings to keep Lance's safe. Lance would never forgive himself if he lost it.

Every time Fernando comes back from the karting school, he recites the whole day back to Lance and updates him on all the kids' progress. When they have small competitions, Lance helps as a race director.

Lance has a lot of hockey jerseys and Fernando wears them all the time. Lance is prohibited from touching Fernando's football shirts.

tuesday again 9/24/2024

you might be wondering “is my dear friend tumblr user girlfriendsofthegalaxy still unemployed?” the answer is yes. take this cat off my hands please i don’t think he’s causing the unemployment but he certainly isn’t helping

listening

via Wendy @dying-suffering-french-stalkers, Huoy Meas' ប្រគល់ក្ដីស្នេហ៍មកខ្ញុំវិញ. figuring out what this incredibly zippy Cambodian rock song is named and what it's about was really difficult bc spotify is a bane upon this earth and won't let you fucking copy-paste and OCR was not working on the Khmer script. i ended up listening to the first couple seconds of each of her songs on apple music, and finally figured out this roughly translates to Give Me Back My Love and is about begging a fuckboy for closure.

via the spotify discover weekly, Night Club's Pretty Girls Do Ugly Things. all Night Club's songs sound the same so if you like one, great news! i had this song on for a full gregorian hour bc, i am only a tiny bit ashamed to say, i was storyboarding a The Man With No Name fancam to this. i think it would go pretty hard.

Smoke you like a cigarette Choke you like a lariat Fatalistic tourniquet Do you want more?

reading

thank you mackintosh.

i did not Adore any of these comics from the library. i sort of enjoyed Night of the Ghoul, a one-volume TPB by Scott Snyder and Francesco Francavilla. i think ive blogged about this before but every once in a while i'll get a bee in my bonnet to read some horror comics even though i am a giant baby about horror movies.

Night of the Ghoul is about how you can't save your dad from PTSD but also about a lost horror film and also about the extremely dad behavior of tracking down every scrap of info about an auteur. there's also a monster.

the subtle art changes from present day to the remains of the film to the non-film flashbacks are well done, imo. the cover screams mignola but the inside pages are really fun pulp nonsense. i love a piece of genre writing that rolls around and delights in being a piece of genre writing.

im doing my level best not to get sucked into tiktok but i DO love watching this lady revive antique nail polish and look for dupes for shades from like the 20s. she found an almost exact dupe for a shade produced during wwii which is crazy insane to me!!!

watching

The Asphalt Jungle (1950, dir. Huston), it's a very painterly heist noir. i even like Sterling Hayden in one of the more prominent roles, even though i think he generally has the appeal of undercooked dough.

much like Fritz Lang's M, it presents the criminal element of the city as its own class with its own reputation and reference systems. it got in some trouble with the censors for having a VERY clearly laid out heist plan and execution. it's also got the babiest Marilyn Monroe in one of her earliest roles

this was such a gloriously messy movie. everyone is such a fucking mess. this woman only known as Doll is heartbreakingly, head over heels in love with Sterling Hayden's character. she's a little flighty and bumbling and silly, but determined! they're constantly orbiting the gravitational weight of her desire for this man and desire for a real life with this man. and that's just one subplot! she has maybe five minutes total screentime! she should have gotten a supporting actress oscar!!! everyone acted their fucking hearts out and it was so much fun to watch!

playing

monument valley is in the netflix games library this month (i don't actually know what their liscencing agreements would even look like, they and the studios they worked with were very tightlipped about that when they were rolling this out three years ago) but i assume it's going to be on the service for a while. i have never played this game, which makes me feel a little bit like a bad gamer. you can tell it's ten years old from some of the color and texture choices, but WOW did literally everyone take inspiration from this game.

this is the platonic ideal of a phone game. i get why everyone went insane about it and there was a brief boom of geometry-based puzzle mobile games. it is MUCH much harder now to get people to pay money to play a game that has a planned endpoint and planned number of levels, so netflix is a good home for it.

i was often frustrated but always delighted. the level below involves making something happening that made me genuinely gasp out loud in glee. well worth the annoyance of downloading the netflix app and scrolling through the poorly labeled and poorly sorted carousel of games.

great retrospective, a bit about how you need to have tiny teams go off and just kind of fuck around and bring weird stuff back, and a lot about how they actually designed the levels

The end result had a pixel-perfect axonometric aesthetic that not only went hard on its references to Dutch master artist and printmaker Maurits Cornelis Escher, but also dug deep into classic video game design, going right back to early arcade machines and 8-bit titles. Each of the ten levels is like a piece of fine furniture, built with invisible dovetail joints and inlaid with marquetry, stuffed with secret compartments and little design flourishes. Gray cites the world of theatre and stage design, as well as graphics, as important keystones in the way the levels were constructed. ‘Ken would always talk about flower arranging, and how you frame a silhouette of a level on the screen,’ he says.

making

update on the Phantom Menace fabric: pinked the raw edges and threw it in the laundry again with a very large quantity of vinegar. 50% poly was too high for it to really do anything, which is interesting. it didn’t lessen the seam edge effects either, which is a little annoying bc the seams were so gigantic and that’s a good chunk of fabric to lose. i am going to buy a camp shirt pattern at some point when i have money again but for now it goes in The Box

also! thrifted a pack of o-rings for jars for a dollar and finally put my grains etc in my pretty jars. they’re going to live in the pantry but today they live out on the countertop

[ldrfanatic]

Hiii! How are you?

Milk with slytherin boys please?

I apologize in advance this is my first time making a request so i hope its ok :)

Physically: i'm short 5'0, i have fair skin, rosy cheeks, i'm a little chubby, i have an hourglass body shape, a little tummy, thicc thighs, i have a small button nose, a heartshaped face, foggy green eyes, hooded lids, i have meduim size lips? If that makes sense. I have dyed copper hair, bangs, a long wolfcut type of haircut, my hair go down to the middle of my back. About me: i'm French,i can speak english, sign language and learning italian. i'm funny. I'm autistic, and i have general anxiety disorder, i have verbal tics, i often do 'pop' sounds with my mouth or reapete things out loud sometimes on a loop, (TW: I grew up in an abusing setting and i have scars, bad ones, especially on my back.) I'm insecure. My love language is giving the bigger half when i'm sharing, or giving anything really. The Way i liked to be loved is through words of affirmation and physical touch. I'm very forging, I like to make my own opinion on people, i'm the mom friends. I have a short temper when i'm stressed, i am very blunt, i'm not scared to speak my mind, of i like people i compare them to bugs or animals as they are my special intrests. If i had to describe my style it would be fairy grunge? Like long skirts, knitted sweaters (the soft kind not witchy cause few sensory issues), converses or sandales, golf jewlery i can also be dressed in full black, form fitting maxi dress with new rock or naked wolfe type of shoes. I love music, anything. And i mean it. Pop, alt, rock, metal, screamo, indie, country, rap. But mostly 2000s 2010s music for the nostalgia. My favorite s'ingère is Billie Eilish. I love doing crafts, i do crochet, i love reading books (dark romance/fantaisie/fiction) i'm a 'nerd', i love happy Potter, lord of the rings, the Hobbit, i love vampires, i love video games, such as animal crossing, SIMS unpacking, and cozy games but as the last of us, the walking dead, until dawn, the quart etc. I have a black cat. I'm a picky eater, potatos are my safe food though, i'm more of a sweet person than savory, brownies are my favorite desserts, I smell like vanilla. Roses and hydrangeas are my favorite flowers. I love trinkets, i collect pretty much any pretty thing i find, twigs, Shells, rocks, little lost things like beeds, crystals, sometimes little toys. I love plushies, i have a teddy bear and a white tiger. I'm a night owl. I love looking at the moon (i have a moon phase tattoo between my boobs. And sun tattoos around my nipples ) i also love taking pictures especially polaroid of people and animals :)

I hope that was enough, thank you for taking time out of your day to read, and thank you for writting.

Again, CONGRATS ON THE 1,000💕💃🏻

Much love ♡

Thank You Soooo Much @alygatorcow !!

1000 follower celebration my bookcase

This one took some thinking but I’m gonna pair you with our sweet Theodore Nott. I know what you might be thinking but hear me out.

Theo is a little tall but he lovesss having short girlfriends. (even if you were 5’7 tho he’d still adore you). Theo likes that you’re all cute and little and he can just hug you and you fit so easily in his arms. (I have a tall bf yall and he tells me all the time how cute and “widdle” I am).

He also adores your figure and won’t accept anything else for an answer. His mother always taught him that the most important thing in a woman is a good heart. really though, he just loves thick thighs and likes having something to hold onto.

Theo thinks that it’s really hot that you can speak French. He helps you learn italian and you try and help teach him french but he struggles enough sometimes with english so that endeavor was quickly put on hold.

At first, the noises you make are very foreign to Theodore, but once he understands them and you, he comes to appreciate them as just a part of who you are and he loves you for it.

Growing up with his father, who used to hit him and his mother, Theo also has scars. He doesn’t like to talk about them but he will with you if you want him to. More than anything, Theo tries to comfort you. He knows what it’s like to have that sort of background and when people get angry, he knows that it comes from a place of care but also he realizes that he always finds it more helpful when people are just there for him rather than when they get angry. So that’s what he does for you.

Finally, Theo loves your tattoos and your style. He really has a thing for your long skirts he thinks they make you look very fairy like and ethereal. He’s not a night owl I wouldn’t say, but it’s very cute when he tries to stay up as late as possible with you. His eyes will get all droopy and his accent will get a little thicker. He will however, do really sweet romantic gestures for you that are very personal like creating or buying you a display case that you can put all the stuff you collect and he will listen to you talk about all of it for hours on end.

theo’s nicknames for you include:

- love bug

- piccola fata (little fairy)

- sunflower (given to you after a particularly cute little date to a sunflower field)

tysm for this request!!! tysm for being a follower and let me know if I got anything wrong. I tried to include as much information as possible without making it like a book for you to read 😅💚

The half language is Schroedinger's language: I don't know it at all if I don't see it written down. And that's French.) *(The new book series is actually the Spy x Family manga series, which I'm so happy I started!!)

Hello Hello Hello-ween! 👻

This is Episode 2 (can't believ I'm doing this again) of

Oddly Specific Asks🗿✨️

where you will get oddly specific questions and choices that will tingle your pringle. Looks like you enjoyed round one, so let's go again!

1) State your opinion on Huan's banana statue in LoK as if you were an art critic.

2) What's the lesser evil: spiders sized the way they are not so they can easily get into your house or spiders the size of cats. They cannot get into the house easily but OH BOY once they're inside...

3) QUICK ROUND! Jasmin tea or ginseng tea? (Shoutout to the Jasmin Dragon)

4) What is the best french fry shape and why?

5) If you were to wake up as a character in the last anime you have watched, how cooked are you?

That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this round as much as the first one. Let me know if you want more 👀 Maybe you can guess at one point who I am, extra kudos if you can. I might add some hints in further rounds. 🤭

For now, have a good day and good luck answering what my pea brain has come up with!

Off I go,

an avid binge reader of yours <3

HELLO LOVELY I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU DID IT AGAIN TOO BUT I REALIZED I NEEDED TO SIT DOWN WITH THIS ONE

1) Sublime. Incredible. Never been done before. (Literally, who's doing it like Huan? No but actually this made me cackle and art critics just sigh and make faces. Imagine I'm making a grimace like I have to sneeze with those few words.)

2) Absolutely spiders that are spider-sized. I don't mind them coming into my house (they take care of rando bugs! they're neat!) but a cat-sized spider sounds like the scariest freaking thing in the world omg.

3) Oh god I am so sorry Levi Ackerman I'VE NEVER HAD EITHER OF THEM. But I think Ginseng sounds lovely, from what I read up on how it tastes?

4) CURLY CURLY CURLY because I am from New Jersey and nothing beats a good curly fry with old bay spice some cheese whiz. (I'm not talking about crab fries totally not absolutely lmfao)

5) I just watched the My Hero Academia movie, so I think I'd be pretty screwed seeing as I'm quirkless but I like to believe I would be safe with the UA squad. (Toshinori, call me.)

6) Jean Kirstein's mullet in season 4 is the undisputed best hair glow-up to me in Attack on Titan and yes I even mean beyond Armin's coconut bob. IT'S A WORK. OF. ART.

7) Off-key husky angry that it's still an hour away from dinner.

8) slooOOW IT DOWN, MAKE IT BOUNCY (honorary mention: i am the best by 2ne1 bc i actually do know that dance but it's tough lol)

9) third option never touch the pickle bc pickles are gross

10) I feel so bad because I would love to do another challenge prompt but I had to ask a few who Anya was! 😭 Forgive me, I lose this episode of oddly specific asks.

Invisible String Part 7 - Chapter 4: His Mate, Supreme

link to next part

TW: non-graphic descriptions of Grell attempting self-exit because for some reason that was a characteristic of Grell. They/them for Grell until she stops the butler shtick. I love Elizabeth so much, you have no idea. I would die for that girl.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

It was a peaceful day at the Phantomhive estate, despite them being host to the inept butler that was Grell Sutcliff. Adelaide could not put her finger on it, but she did not trust the bespeckled butler. Something about them seemed off. 

At the moment, Bardroy was lounging in the estate's garden, listening to the strange butler prattle on about the success of the Funtom company. Adelaide sat a distance away, preparing French lessons with the help of Luca. The two strawberry blonds discussed what the earl needed to learn in order to succeed in imports and exports from France. The strange butler was trimming hedges with a large set of shears. 

Suddenly, Tanaka appeared behind Grell, in a lucid and dignified state, and explained the origin of the Phantomhive manor’s current state. The servants all smiled and celebrated Tanaka being in his more dignified state. 

As Tanaka discussed the fall of the old Phantomhive manor, Adelaide could not help but notice the similarities between the Phantomhive manor’s destruction and her own family’s demise. A great fire, a miraculous survivor… it was all eerily similar to that night all that time ago. 

As Tanaka deflated, Adelaide looked up from her work to notice Grell’s handiwork on the shrubbery. “Excuse-moi…” she started. “But why is all the foliage shaped like skulls?” 

This question sent the servants and Grell spiraling. Grell dramatically flung themselves at a tree, attempting to hang themselves from one of the branches. The servants worked to get him down as Adelaide stood from her seat and dusted her gown off. 

Suddenly, a pale, small hand with a bright orange bell sleeve reached up and pulled the steps out from under Grell.

-

As the doors of the mansion opened, the servants all came out in droves, flocking to their master and his butler. Stalling behind them was Adelaide, walking slowly and seemingly unbothered by the state of the manor house. 

The servants were all dressed in absurd garments. The chef had a bonnet on his head and a bib around his neck, the gardener had bunny ears and limbs, Luca had bear ears and paws on, and Adelaide had cat ears and a tail. She pretended to be unbothered, but in truth her current state of dress was embarrassing her. 

As the servants sobbed on the butler, he stared at Adelaide, causing her to pause in her steps. He took in the sight of his fated mate, still in her normal gown but her pinkish-hued hair was adorned in a fuzzy black headband with cat ears pointing out of it. Around her waist was a ribbon holding a fuzzy black tail. Her neck was additionally ornamented with a black lace choker with a jingling bell on it. Adelaide moved her arms up to her chest to cover herself in shyness, a faint blush coated her pale cheeks. 

“Can you not look at me like that? C'est gênant…” Adelaide trailed off. 

“Why on earth are all of you dressed like this?” Sebastian asked, looking at Bardroy who was clutching his collar. 

“She’s crazy!” Bard shouted, pointing down the hall. 

“Who?” Ciel asked before he was distracted by the sound of gurgling coming from the next room. Butler and master stuck their heads into the room to find Grell hanging by his neck from the ceiling. The servants of the house followed after them, hiding behind them. Luca and Finny could be seen hiding behind Bard while Adelaide hid behind Sebastian, instinctively and subconsciously gripping his tailcoat. The small action pleased the demon, knowing that his bond with his mate was growing. 

“What the blazes are you doing now?!” Ciel shouted at Grell. 

“I believe I am in the process of dying, currently, my lord,” Grell responded. 

As Sebastian strolled over to take the strange butler down from the ceiling, a squealing blur streaked across the room towards Ciel. As the curly haired, blonde girl clung onto the lord of the house, the servants, including Adelaide, shrank away in fright. Luca continued to cling to Finnian and Adelaide took residence behind Bard now that the demon butler was not at her side. Adelaide turning towards Bard caused the demon butler to glower at the man. 

The blonde girl clinging to Ciel rubbed her cheek against him and blabbered about how much she missed him. 

“Oh Elizabeth what a surprise!” Ciel said awkwardly. The blonde girl pulled back at that with a beaming smile. 

“Oh how many times must I tell you to call me Lizzie!” she said. She scooped him back into her arms “Oh you truly are just the cutest thing ever aren’t you? You darling boy I could just eat you right up!” 

Sebastian did his best to mask his dislike of the young lady clinging to his prey as he drug Grell with him over to his master. “Lady Elizabeth,” he said, drawing the girl’s attention away from Ciel. Once the lady was drawn away from Ciel to greet the butler, Ciel turned away, exhausted by the affections of the blonde. 

“Aww you took him down?” Elizabeth, Lizzie, said about Grell. 

“Yes, I’m afraid he was detracting from the beauty of the room,” Sebastian said, attempting to placate the young lady. 

The lady gasped in offense, “But I had made such a lovely decoration out of him!” she said. 

Adelaide furrowed her brow from behind the chef. “A decoration?” she asked in shock. “What a morbid idea for a decoration…” 

Lizzie beamed. “Yes! Look at it all! Isn’t the salon so cute now?” she gestured to the glittering and frilly decor she had put all over the salon. Stuffed animals, bows, glitter, tinsel, and pink paint littered the salon. Ciel frowned at the sight. 

“My mansion is so pink now…” he said. 

“From now on only the cutest things belong in the Phantomhive manor!” Lizzie declared. “Don’t you agree, Antoinette?” All eyes moved to Tanaka, whose head had been covered in a curly blond wig. Sebastian’s eyes showed the slightest bit of sympathy for Tanaka as he observed him. “Oh and I have a present for you too!” Elizabeth beamed as she threw a pink flowery bonnet on the butler’s head. “You’re always dressed in black so I thought this would be a nice change! What do you think?” 

Adelaide and the servants had to fully turn around to hide their laughter. Adelaide stared at the butler over her shoulder, thinking about how endearing it was to see him be kind to the young lady. She saw the butler glaring over at the servants, trying to mask the harshness in his eyes when looking at Adelaide and just sending her a weary look. The servants all straightened up and stood at attention. 

Sebastian smiled and bowed to the young lady “I am deeply honored that you would go to such length for a humble servant, Lady Elizabeth. Your generosity is overwhelming,” he said with a plastered-on smile. 

As Ciel questioned the lady about how she came to be at the manor, Adelaide approached Sebastian. The bell around her neck jingled as she approached, causing her to groan in exasperation. 

“Monsieur Sebastian,” she began, gesturing for him to bend down so she could whisper in his ear. The butler fought the blush that rose to his cheeks at seeing her in the cat accessories and bent to her level.  “Who is the young lady? All the servants and I have been going along with her antics, but we haven’t the faintest who she is to the master.” 

Sebastian smirked at the opportunity that presented itself. He whispered in her ear “She is the master’s fiancee. By the way, I absolutely adore cats.” The seductive tone in his voice combined with the heat of his breath caused Adelaide to flush pink up to her ears and back away. 

“So what is the young lady’s name?” she asked, trying to put the conversation back on track. 

“Ah, she is the daughter of the Marquess of Scotney, Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford of Scotney, the master’s fiancee,” Sebastian said, straightening his tie. 

All the servants popped up in shock. “The master is marrying her?” Bardroy growled out. 

“Is that a problem?” Sebastian asked. “Nobles marry other nobles.”

Elizabeth spun around in her dress. “I know! Now that the manor is so prettily decorated, we should hold a ball tonight!” She strutted over to Ciel, despite his apparent displeasure and protests. “You can be my escort and we can dance around all evening,” she spun the earl around before hugging him. “You’ll wear the clothes I selected for you right? Pretty please? You’ll look so dashing, I promise!” Ciel began to protest before the lady turned away, “And of course I’ll be dressed up too!” the lady ran up to Adelaide and grabbed her arm. “And you come with me! I want to make you even cuter than you already are!” 

“Pardon? Ah!” Adelaide protested before she was pulled away by the curly haired blonde, Sebastian trying to suppress the snarl that was forming in his chest at his mate being taken away from him. 

-

In one of the guest suites, Elizabeth had Adelaide sat in front of her as she brushed her hair. 

“So tell me, miss governess, what brought you to the Phantomhive manor?” she asked. 

“Pardon? I don’t believe I understand…” Adelaide asked. “I simply work for the earl tutoring him in French and other subjects…” she tried to mask her discomfort and the probing questions she could feel coming. 

“I’m not as dense as I seem to be, you know?” Elizabeth said, holding some bows up to Adelaide’s hair to see how they would look. “No noble in their right mind would hire such a strange staff unless there were ulterior motives. I know Ciel’s business is difficult, the staff must be exceptional. So what makes you exceptional?” 

“I truly am not, my lady,” Adelaide said, tolerating the poofy white bows that Lizzie was putting on her cat ears. “Lord Phantomhive welcomed my brother and me in out of kindness, nothing more.” 

Lizzie hummed, putting some flowers in her hair. “If you insist, miss governess,” she said. “Now let’s get you dressed! Sebastian is most smitten with you, we must make you cute to draw his eye!” she declared while clapping her hands together. “Oh I believe you are mistaken, mademoiselle,” Adelaide said. “Sebastian is not interested in me in that way.” 

“With how pale your skin is white would wash you out,” Elizabeth said, ignoring Adelaide’s comments. “I think some green would look excellent on you and bring out your eyes. Oh, I just know Sebastian is going to fall for you!” 

Before she knew it, Adelaide was swept away by the girl and shoved into a frilly moss-green dress with ruffled sleeves and bows on the bodice. She could not escape the cat accessories either. Elizabeth insisted they made her “cuter”. She just knew that Sebastian would laugh at her that night. 

-

“I just know Ciel will look dashing when he appears,” Elizabeth prattled on to Mey-Rin and Adelaide. “Blue is his color, it brings out his eyes so well.” Lizzie was dressed in a crimson evening gown with pink accents and lace trimming. When Ciel appeared, telling her to leave the women alone, she dashed over to him, gushing about how adorable he looked. She spun the boy around in circles. When she ceased the spinning and gushing she developed a murderous look on her face. “Ciel… where is the ring I bought you?”

“The ring I already have is fine,” Ciel said, ignoring her. 

“But the ring I bought matches your outfit perfectly! This one isn’t cute at all! I just want everything to be perfect…” she trailed off. 

“That’s not it… Lizzie this ring is-” Ciel started before Elizabeth snatched the ring off his finger. 

“Hah! Fooled you! It’s mine now!” Lizzie declared. 

“My lady you should give that back…” Adelaide began. 

“Give it back Elizabeth,” Ciel snapped. “Now.” 

“Why is everyone so protective of this ring?” Elizabeth asked. “It’s far too big for you… You’re ruining our evening! Take it!” she threw the ring on the ground, shattering the stone and separating it from the band. 

Ciel was overcome with anger at the sight and dashed forward, arm raised to hit the young lady. Adelaide rushed forward and blocked the girl from getting struck while Sebastian grabbed the boy’s arm in an attempt to calm the situation. 

“Master,” Sebastian began, a stern look on his face. “You forgot your walking stick that we went to so much trouble to get today.” Ciel panted in anger, trying to ground himself as his fiancee trembled in front of him. Sebastian put the walking stick in the boy’s hand and approached his mate and the young lady she was guarding. Adelaide stuck her arm out to protect the sniffling girl. Sebastian put a hand on his heart before explaining the situation to Elizabeth. “Forgive my master, Lady Elizabeth, but that ring was a precious heirloom passed down to the head of the Phantomhive household. He has grown quite attached to it, so please try to understand why he was so upset.” 

Elizabeth gasped. “It was that important? And I destroyed it?” Ciel picked up the remnants of the ring and approached an open window in the ballroom. “Ciel please I didn’t know-” Lizzie began before gasping as he threw the ring out the window. Elizabeth dashed over to the window. “What are you doing?” she asked in shock. 

“It was nothing but an old ring after all,” Ciel said. “It does not change the fact that I am head of the household.” As Ciel declared this with pride, Sebastian smirked at the boy. Ciel turned to his sniveling fiancee “How long are you going to cry?” 

“I-I’m sorry-” Lizzie said, meeting his eyes. 

“Your face is a mess, completely unsuited for a lady,” Ciel said, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. “How can I ask a lady with tears in her eyes to dance?” 

The lady’s eyes widened in surprise. “To dance?” As she asked that, violin music began to play, courtesy of Grell. 

“So then we are in agreement to forget our worries and dance the night away?” Ciel asked his future wife. The lady beamed and nodded. 

As the two teens spun around the room, Sebastian approached Adelaide and bowed at the waist with an extended hand. “Lady DuPont, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?”

“Ah umm…” she started. “I am not a good dancer. I may have attended balls, but I did so for social climbing…” she explained. 

“Ah it is lucky for you then that I am one hell of a dance leader,” Sebastian said. “Please do me the honor of leading you on the dance floor.”

Adelaide sighed but took his hand. “Just this once,” she said. “It is humiliating enough to be forced into this garb.” 

“Yet you still look lovely,” Sebastian said as he began to lead her in a waltz. 

“Do not lie to me, demon, I know you mock me,” she said to him with a glare. 

“I do not lie, my lady,” the butler said. “I told you earlier, I do so love cats.” He took a hand off her waist to poke the bell on her neck, causing her to blush. “That is quite enough,” she said, eyeing Lizzie’s beaming expression as she watched the two of them. “You should use your powers to fix the ring.”

“I already planned on it, my lady,” he said. “My master cannot go without his status symbol.” 

Adelaide nodded. “Another thing,” she said. “Is Grell a bit... Peculiar to you? As if they are not… human?” 

Sebastian nodded. “I had noticed as well,” he said. “I will investigate it, do not worry. You are safe here. Which reminds me…” he reached into his breast pocket as the song ended. All eyes were glued on the pair as he brought out a gift box and opened it. He pulled out a black chain with a shining black feather pendant on it. “A gift,” he said, handing it to her. 

Adelaide could feel the sparkling eyes of the audience and began to think critically. She had questions, but could not ask in the silence. “Put it on for me?” she asked, turning her back to the demon. 

He placed the chain around her neck and she whispered in French, “À quoi ça sert?” 

“Cela te protégera quand je ne pourrai pas être là. Il est imprégné de mon énergie,” he responded in an equally hushed tone. 

Adelaide looked at the demon quizzically as he pulled away. “Merci beaucoup,” she said as Lizzie ran up to her and hugged her, gushing about how romantic the scenario was. 

All in all, it was a disastrous evening in the Phantomhive house.

Notes:

Translations: C'est gênant - it's embarrassing À quoi ça sert? - what is this for? Cela te protégera quand je ne pourrai pas être là. Il est imprégné de mon énergie - It will protect you when I can't be there. It is infused with my energy. I am almost fluent in French but I did not know the words "protect", "infused", or "energy" so I had to use Google Translate for the last sentence. Next chapters we finally enter the Jack the Ripper arc!

Fragments of fright (4)

From Edouard Brasey's "The Great Encyclopedia of the Marvelous"

Some French variations of the werewolf myth

Birette

In the Loire region, the birettes are women who, after a deal with the devil, obtained from him either a wolf's skin or a boar's skin. Upon wearing this skin, the women become possessed and are said to be "courir la birette" (to run the birette), that is to say they attack cattle in the night and frighten the humans they meet. Just like werewolves, of which they are a variant, they keep in their human shape the wounds and mutilations inflicted to them in their animal form.

The birette metamorphosis is a demonic heritage: it is transmitted inside the family, from generation to generation, usually passed to the elder child of the family, that said child wants it or not. The birette is very similar to another creature named the "galipote" - however the galipote's modus operanti has her climb onto trees, to jump on the back of those who travel late at night. She will cling to their back, forcing the traveller to be her mount and carry her around - all the while she will become heavier and heavier, until finally the victim is crushed under her weight.

Garache

The garache is a female werewolf of the Vendée and Poitou regions. Her transformation, which always occurs at night, is actually a punishment, caused by some crime the garache commited while in human form. There is a distinction between the "garaches à sauter" (jumping garaches), who jumped over hedges ; and the "garaches à percer" (piercing garaches) who went right through thorny bushes. Ismaël Mérindol noted in his "Traité de Faërie" a nursery rhyme that goes as such:

"La garache a sauté par-ci / La garache a sauté par-là / Hache, hache, hache / Gare à la garache!" ("The garache jumped here / The garache jumped there / Axe, axe, axe / Beware the garache!"

When a garache is wounded in her animal form, she immediately returns to her human shape but dies in the process. This goes against the myth of the male werewolves, who keep their animal wounds upon their human shape without dying of them.

Sometimes the garaches are ot werewolves, but rather witches that either gather during sabbaths, or take part in some wild hunts/demonic hunts. Other times, a garache can be a type of "White Lady" (Dame Blanche), ghostly, misty beings with cloud-like coats and that surround houses with their fogs.

Lubins and lupins

The lubins (or lupins) are a type of corpse-eating wolves that haunt the cemeteries of Central France. It is said that they gnaw upon the bones of the dead, and have a stinking breath. Vaguely related to werewolves, the lupis can walk on their hindlegs like a man and wait in such a position before the walls of a cemetery, talking with each other in a bizarre language unknown to mankind. When someone passes by them without saluting them, the lubins will return to being on all fours, and will jump on the impolite person to devour them. Just like traditional werewolves, the lubins can only be destroyed by a bullet that has been blessed. In the Berry region the lubin, which is less dangerous than elsewhere, can be very easily destroyed, by simply being pointed out by someone's finger.

Voirloups

The voirloups are men or women who are possessed by the devil. At night, with the help of the demon that lives inside of them, they transform into animals to attack people. Usually they become wolves (their name has "loup", "wolf" in it), but sometimes they can turn into foxes, boars, male goats, or more rarely cats. From midnight until dawn, the voirloups wander the forest without making a sound. On top of their silence, they are invulnerable, and can see in the dark like in bright day - which makes them formidable opponents. The voirloups do not actually kill their victims - rather they drink their blood, in a way similar to vampires. Voirloups are also described as able to cause forest-fires with their glowing eyes. Once the sun rises up, their wolf-skin literaly bursts, and they regain their human shape.

To become a voirloup, one needs to be guilty of all of the seven deadly sins, and to have been noticed by the devil (who is always looking for the darkest souls). Once the devil selected you, he will give you a magical ointment that will, alongside a few diabolical prayers, turn you into a wolf or any other dangerous animal. The recipe for this ointment is known, and s terrifying. It has four ingredients: the saliva of the devil, human semen, the nuptial blood of a virgin girl, and the fat of a pig killed on the Good Friday. In order to not attract the voirloups, one must NOT talk about them or pronounce their name.

Season 1, Episode 9 the French connection caper for @csweekly

I am so late. The entire family has been sick.

But I am READY for the pain once again.

Dr. Bellum’s turn to make the slideshow. Her’s is very techy. Also, Chase I know he eats mints all the time, but for it to show up prominently in his profile that VILE created of you, that is something.

I’m sorry but i LOVE that Chase saved Zack’s cover I’m dying. This entire show remembers that not everyone knows everything and absolutely leans into it and it’s more fun than other shows that try this.

But they apparently don’t care about the cell phone she stole. They probably think she was talking to Chase the whole time which is actually a hilarious AU. Someone please write that.

“Carmen Sandiego isn’t working alone” *points to Player*

“Sounds like we have plan B as in bait” *AGGRESSIVELY points to Player*

The lucky cat coat my beloved. “It was on sale” truly one of the greatest lines ever.

You GO Julia. Gosh she’s such a good person. She tries to include Chase even after he’s been absolute trash to her. And she finally gets to let loose a bit. This argument is so good. Needed to be had for both of them. All season Julia has needed to get this out. And really it’s the first dose of reality towards Chase turning a new leaf. He’s not in charge like in Interpol. He may be an agent but hes been demoted down the food chain and having to come to terms with his attitude not jelling with ACME.

“Since you are Chief’s favorite” until Zack joins, apparently

Everyone is plotting something but it’s not what the person who says the line thinks. Chase thinks Carmen is plotting a caper when she’s actually at a loss for VILE leads and on vacation. Carmen thinks Shadowsan is plotting on how to get her back when he’s really planning to join her. Fantastic little exchange there.

Ivy predicts VILE’s next hq. The foreshadowing in this show.

I love the siblings in this scene. I have never seen any sequence of events so sibling in my life.

Also others have pointed it out but Carmen can’t relax. That is heartbreaking. Honestly her entire childhood simultaneously is filled with good memories and also is a complete nightmare. Get this girl a professional to talk to.

This scene where we find out how Coach Brunt feels did not properly fill me with absolute horror the first time. Now it does. It just makes me scream nooooo because Shadowsan had a clean getaway. And Chase might have been spared.

Okay. Yes. This scene. With the toothpaste. This is when I knew with absolute certainty that Chase was getting a redemption arc. Characters typically don’t get to be shown such self loathing and not turn it around in the end. And I developed a desperate desire to see him and Carmen work together (AND I GOT MY WISH).

Also vile brand toothpaste what the heck. Why does it exist lol

I’d pay money to know what was running through Player’s head when he read that note the first time, before he read it aloud to Carmen

Carmen no don’t smile this is not your average caper. For you to test your abilities.

The way we see that Chase has actual interrogation training when he chooses to use his head. A+ awful singing. He’s seen over half the Faculty now! That truth extractor is TERRIFYING. I use it in every fic.

Red Drone tapping on the window. Adorable. Simple. Effective.

OKaY casually BENDING METAL with her BARE HANDS

Aww red brings out Ivy's eyes but red is not Zack’s color lol! I would be terrified too Zack.

Love this scene. Chase is accusing Carmen of everything and she just sounds so kind as she rescues him. She knows it’s not true and she’s okay being the bad guy as long as others are safe.

Reminding the audience that Carmen has a taser.

First time seeing the pen! At this point I can’t help but see Carmen’s stress here and think she has to know that the status quo is changing. She looks like a deer in headlights. Already in way over her head.

Also he’s heavy lol. Carmen is very obviously strong and she struggles to pull Chase deadweight. I don’t blame her it’s hard to do. The fact that she makes headway is impressive.

The way Brunt finishes that sentence, “too late” I tell you I am never prepared for what is to come. This entire sequence is just *chefs kiss*. The absolute methodical way that Brunt corners Carmen, isolates her, strips her of all of her agency, makes her helpless. TEARS THE COAT IN HALF!!!!!! It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE. I know it’s already been pointed out but it’s such a parallel to her childhood but now Carmen sees the truth of it all.

And I just really love a good whump scene.

Also, friendly reminder that Player. Heard. EVERYTHING. Sign him up for therapy too.

The moment Carmen realizes what’s about to happen is the moment she can’t breathe.

Shadowsan didn’t even need to see Ivy to realize that Carmen was back at the warehouse. It still astounds me how fast he was. I also love how intense he is up until he can’t any longer. It’s like it’s so hard for him to drop this act that he’s played for so long.

Again. Player heard everything. The terror of hearing your best friend in a fight for her life and there’s literally nothing he can do.

Ahh and the gradual realization that Shadowsan’s not who he seeeeeems. The view of Carmen not dead. The broken lock. The way he visibly softens as he tells her to follow him. The way he gets uncomfortable under her questioning now that he can’t hide behind his gruffness. I am absolutely delighted every time I watch this I remember being SO shocked and thrilled the first time I watched this. It’s the joy of seeing everything fall into place plot wise. So satisfying.

“There is nothing more to tell” LIAR

Carmen’s joy when she gets confirmation the coat was empty!!! AND Shadowsan being GENUINELY proud of her instead of upset about it please. I know considering the circumstances in which he found her, that Shadowsan would consider himself far from her father figure. But it’s the role he was given in life. And he’s TRYING.

“You knew what they’d do to me when I said no” it’s only after the confrontation with Coach Brunt that Carmen can really understand why Shadowsan did what he did.

The way skeptical Player still apologizes to Carmen in empathy that Shadowsan leaves. (Lol Player is so unapologetically on Carmen’s side to call Shadowsan the worst even after all of that. Considering the nightmare scene in the lucky cat caper there have been Talks and this is just what best friends do gosh I wish we had a scene where Player grills him but also he respects that’s Carmen’s agency so urghhhh) (also also it’s cute Player calls Chase a detective rather than agent in a nice homage to the older CS iterations) And we see the gift of a new hard drive. It’s. This is SUCH a perfect season finale. Enough answers to respectably tie off many s1 plot points but with the hard drive and Shadowsan’s dodgy answers leaves plenty of promise for the next season.

Movies I watched this Week #139 (Year 3/Week 35):

2 more back-to-back re-watches of Ron Fricke’s sublime non-narrative Head trip Samsara (“Impermanence”). Spiritual poetry, gorgeous visuals, breathtaking scope. A perfect film to watch while mushrooming. 10/10. (Photo Above).

🍿

First watch (no idea why I waited all these years) of William Friedkin’s Sorcerer, his ill-fated adaptation of Clouzot's 'The wages of fear'. Roy Scheider is a desperado transporting nitroglycerin in the Dominican jungle, together with 3 other unfortunate misfits.

🍿

A enchanting, classic 1974 French drama, Vincent, François, Paul and the Others, my second by Claude Sautet (after ‘The heart at winter’). A group of middle class 40-something friends, lovers, husbands and wives face a series of midlife crises. Among them Yves Montand, Michel Piccoli, Gérard Depardieu and Stéphane Audran. The camaraderie reminded me of the friendship in ‘Goodfellas’ (without the crimes, violence, and immorality). 7/10.

🍿

The big clock, my first Corporate Noir by John Farrow (father to Mia, husband to Maureen O'Sullivan). Ray Millard acts and sounds exactly like Cary Grant-Lite in this less-known thriller.

A curious visual: There's a very stylish shot at an empty executive boardroom with a giant conference table, and the only items on it are oversized personal ashtrays next to each chair.

🍿

Val Lawton X 2:

🍿 The best movie of the week, the documentary Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows. Produced and narrated by Martin Scorsese. A terrific biography and assessment of this melancholic producer who had the potential to become one of the biggest auteurs, but who is now barely-remembered for a series of 1940's low-budget, B-movies from RKO studio. I previously only saw his 'I walked with a Zombie', but I'm going to watch as many of the others as I can.

🍿 "...My Goodness, ain't nobody likes chicken Gumbo?..."

Lewton's first project, after he was installed as head of RKO low-budget horror department, was Cat People. "A disturbed woman", a Serbian fashion illustrator [Not too many of those] turns into a ferocious panther, after she's shown at her very first scene, littering repeatedly by throwing her discarded drawings in the streets.

🍿

Our friend, my second film by Gabriela Cowperthwaite (After ‘Blackfish’). A sad, non-linear tearjerker, based on a real story. Dakota Johnson is dying of cancer, with her husband, two daughters, and their best friend, who selflessly stays by their side. The first film when I liked the role Casey Affleck plays. 7/10.

/ female /

🍿

The new gonzo documentary Telemarketers reminded me of a chapter from my own life that I'm not proud of. For about 3 years in the mid-90's I sold bogus investments, gold futures, and fake ostrich options (!) over the phones in exactly the same way as the conmen in this sleazy, seedy, funny, cynical story. Except that over in Jersey they sold $35 donations and got paid $10 an hour, while we in Costa Mesa, CA got a $3,500 commission for every time we fleeced $40,000 from someone, which happened very often. So much money, and so many regrets later!

🍿

4 more I can watch over and over again:

🍿 My 10th-15th rewatch of Edgar Wright’s brilliant Hot Fuzz.

1. If you know nothing about it beforehand, and watch it for the first time while stoned, it’s impossible to know what it’s really about until the end; the story changes style, intention, musical cue and genre from scene to scene.

2. Is the violent shoot-them-up climax, cartoonishly exaggerated, (where still, nobody dies) the most cliché-filled action scene ever?

3. The subtle musical score underlining every scene is sublime; I am going to listen/watch it again - without the pictures, just the sound!

4. Actually, the whole editing, visuals, sound editing, borrowing from dozens of prior movies, is extraordinary.

5. Every part of the dialogue - every single line - is highly quotable!

10/10.

And as always, How to do visual comedy, from ‘Every frame a picture’.

🍿 I just saw the trailer for The big Lebowski for the first time; It really ties the movie together pretty well. So I "had to" watch the movie itself again. A masterpiece on every level. Even the IMDb synopsis encapsulates it correctly: "Jeff 'The Dude' Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it."

I also like Wikipedia's chapter on its 'Use as social and political analysis'. With a magnificent score (which includes Dylan's 'The man in me', Gypsy Kings cover of 'Hotel California', Yma Sumac's Ataypura) and with Asia Carrera as Sherry, the porn actress.

The last sentence in it is 'Say, friend, you got any more of that good sarsaparilla?' Always 10/10.

🍿 Once again, Ali Wong’s first stand-up Baby Cobra. Funny, filthy, hardcore vulgar, very sexy; "Best pregnant comic".

🍿 Top banana, S1E2 episode from ‘Arrested Development’. From Vanity Fair’s ‘List of 25 perfect TV episodes’.

🍿

The source, another banal documentary about a spectacular human being, ultramarathoner Courtney Dauwalter, who just cemented her status as the greatest ultrarunner of all time by the unprecedented triple crown wins of the ‘Western States 100’, the ‘Hardrock 100’, and UTMB in the same summer. Emotionally inspirational.

🍿

The midnight gospel, an adult animated series, my first by Pendleton Ward. I saw the first episode yesterday, and I already can’t remember a single goddam thing from it.

🍿

From Dane Sitagi’s The ballerina project: Basia Rhoden dances in the city of Chicago.

🍿

Throw-back to the "Art project”:  

Ballerina Adora.

15 Questions Tag

Why? Because I'm bored

Are you named after anyone?

I'm named after a biblical city near Jerusalem and my middle name is named after my grandmother and Anne of Green Gables :) (sadly not with an e, but that might change when I'm 18)

When was the last time you cried?

I think on Wednesday during my psychology appointment. We were talking about things.

Do you have kids?

No but I want them. When I'm older, obviously. I know I sound crazy because raising kids is hard (I know, my sister who has a baby lives with me) but there's something so wholesome and precious about them that makes me want to be a mother. I love children.

Do you use sarcasm?

Me? Use sarcasm? Now when would I use that.

I'm Australian, of course I use sarcasm, that is a key cornerstone in Australian humour.

What's the first thing you notice about people?

I think their faces or how they interact with people. I can generally judge whether or not I'll get along with someone by how they interact with other people.

What's your eye colour?

They used to be a really dark brown when I was little and now they're a grassy forest emerald green?

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings. Or bittersweet endings where maybe it hasn't gone right but they still move on and begin to heal.

Any special talents?

I'm weirdly good at accents?

Where were you born?

Sydneyyyyyy

What are your hobbies?

Reading, writing, dancing to jazz in the kitchen only to turn around and see my sister laughing at me, music, procrastinating and thinking.

I do a lot of thinking.

Two cats

I do ballet and I like to run. I did some mountain bike riding too before my dad decidedly get rid of my bike because it was old and dying
