3/3

J'espère pouvoir t'annoncer une bonne nouvelle sous peu, et qui sais, peut-être que cela te fera plaisir car tu ne pense pas (comme Antoine), que j'ai en quelques sortes gâché ma vie. J'ai été surprise, car de tous mes proches, c'est sans doute lui qui l'a pris le plus mal. Papa a estimé que j'étais un peu jeune pour déjà me marier, mais il n'a pas insisté quand je lui ai dit que c'était mon souhait.

J'ai heureusement pu rencontrer mes petites soeurs ! Elles sont adorables, surtout Julienne, et elles se ressemblent autant que Cléo et moi. C'est vraiment étrange de les voir et de constater que mes propres enfants auront sensiblement le même âge.

Je voulais conclure en revenant sur ce que tu mentionnais à propos de vos problèmes financiers. Par expérience, je sais que ce n'est pas facile à admettre comme genre de problème. Je suis flattée que tu te confies à moi et je veux que tu saches qu'en cas de besoin, je peux y pourvoir. Je ne pense pas me vanter ou être impudente en affirmant que les affaires familiales vont assez bien pour entretenir le nouveau foyer de mes parents à Alexandrie, les chambres d'Antoine et Cléo à Paris, le pensionnat de Jean-François ou encore les besoins de Sélène (en tous cas jusqu'à son mariage). Sache que tu n'as qu'à demander.

Je te souhaites le meilleur,

Ta cousine, la nouvellement nommée Arsinoé Le Bris de Chastel

P.S. Vois-tu, je porte une particule désormais ! Je pense que si notre ancêtre commun en était témoin, il ne le croirait pas.

Transcription :

Arsinoé « Antoine. Je comprends tes inquiétudes. Mais tu n’étais pas là. Il fallait que je réagisse rapidement. »

Marc-Antoine « Pourquoi tu ne m’a pas appelé ? Nous aurions trouvé une solution tous les deux… Tu sais que je suis là, que tu peux me demander ce que tu veux et que j’aurais fait n’importe quoi... »

Arsinoé « Tu n’aurais rien pu faire. Il faut que tu acceptes que cette fois-ci, tu ne pouvais rien pour moi. Tu ne m’as ni trahie, ni laissée tomber. Sans compter que la situation aurais pu être pire. Cette solution est idéale, même si elle ne te convient pas. »

Marc-Antoine « C’est juste que voir Grand-Mère jubiler à ce point, ça m’a mis tellement en colère. »

Arsinoé « Mais pourquoi ? »

Marc-Antoine « Je… ça ne semblait pas bien. C’est ta vie, pas la sienne. »

Arsinoé « Antoine… Accepte qu’il n’y avait pas d’autre solution. Tu sais, nous avons discuté avec Ange. Longuement. De toute ce qui allait se passer, de ce que nous voulions tous les deux. Nous sommes satisfaits. »

Marc-Antoine « Alors… C’est vraiment ce que tu veux ? »

Arsinoé « Oui, vraiment. Mais de toute façon, ce serait un peu tard pour renoncer. J’aurais pu te le dire si tu m’avais parlé avant plutôt que de bouder comme un enfant jusqu’à la cérémonie. »

Marc-Antoine « Pardon... »

Marc-Antoine « Et maintenant ? »

Arsinoé « Maintenant ? Je vais retourner à mon travail jusqu’à ce que je sois trop fatiguée, puis je prendrai de longues semaines de repos dans le jardin d’hiver jusqu’à la naissance. Et après, je commencerai ma vie de mère. Et toi alors ? »

Marc-Antoine « Et bien… Je vais retourner à Paris terminer l’école. Puis je reviendrai ici le plus tôt possible. Pour Aurore bien sur, mais aussi parce que Kleber et Raoul veulent créer une liste communiste pour la mairie et que je pense saisir ma chance. Avec mes connaissances à Paris, je vais gagner une vraie légitimité. »

Arsinoé « Avec un tel programme, tu seras député avant trente ans. »

Marc-Antoine « N’exagère rien ! Mais je pense qu’il faut faire une différence, se battre pour ses convictions. Et t’épauler bien sur. Il ne sera jamais dit que je laisse tomber ma grand-sœur, jamais ! C’est ce que Grand-Père Maximilien a toujours fait, veiller sur sa famille, et je vais prendre le relai. »

Arsinoé « Alors c’est formidable ! Tous les enfants Le Bris vont suivre leur rêve. Oh, ne me regardes pas comme ça, je m’incluais dans le lot ! »

My latest post on AO3 is not a fic but an overview of labor statistics for Call the Midwife Series 1-12. You can get a quick look at the mums, birth locations, if it was on screen, nurses/doctors present, baby number and gender, and any other medical notes. I was doing this for my own fic writing but thought I would share for any others who might find it helpful.

Sr MC: What was it Julian of Norwich wrote..? Not the thing about ‘all shall be well’. Not that. Because I can't believe that any more.

Sr J: She wrote, "God did not say thou shalt not be tempested, thou shalt not be travailed…thou shalt not be diseased…”

Sr MJ: "But he said, thou shall not be overcome."

Round 1, Match 27

Shotgun Mary (Warrior Nun) vs Sister Julienne (Call the Midwife)

Shotgun Mary is a Demon-Fighting Catholic Nun. She is a member of the Order of the Cruciform Sword.

Sister Julienne is an Anglican nun of the Order of St. Raymond Nonnatus and is Sister-in-Charge at Nonnatus house. She is a midwife and hospice caregiver.

Shotgun Mary

You don't see many American catholic nuns. But when there is a secret army of demon fighting ladies within the Church, if there is a gun there is bound to be an American. especially when the gun is a shot-gun. She might be more of an loner in her group, but she is key to the functionality of the team.

Sister Julienne

She runs Nonnatus House and fulfills the duties of being a member. Time and again when things looked over for the nuns, she managed to find a way to stick around for her community. She is an experienced midwife and fights for all those in her care--including keeping sister Monica Joan in Popular instead of sending her "into the country" where retired nuns usually go

[fixomnia-scribble]

I am on cold medication at the moment, so the concept of Call The Old Guard Midwife not only hit my brain HARD just now, but makes perfect sense.

More-or-less deathless social justice crusaders find a way to do their thing in broad daylight while being a beloved and integral part of the community? Yep.

"No, that's not Sister Elizabeth, that's Sister Helen. Sister Elizabeth passed away twenty years ago, remember? But Sister Helen has come to us with many of the same skills. We are fortunate indeed."

[sisterjulienne]

So rarely does anyone take care of Sister Julienne and provide the support she so freely gives out. One exception being Shelagh, who provides non-judgemental support. Arguably, she is a good ‘all-rounder’ in regards to support - because she can provide spiritual, emotional and practical support so she pretty much has it covered, as long as she can spot its needed. Sister Julienne rarely asks for help though.

And we also see Sister Monica Joan who often provides spiritual insight and wisdom when she’s able to.

I think if Sister Mary Cynthia had been able to stick around then they would have had a beautiful and solid connection and friendship.

I want to wrap Sister Julienne in a blanket, give her all the cuddles and hide her from all the bad in the world😭 Why can’t my precious angel be left alone💔

Starmania 1979

The French singer, author and composer Michel Berger one day heard about a surprising news item . Patricia Campbell Hearst, the daughter of a billionaire, kidnapped by terrorists ended up joining their movement out of love for one of her kidnappers !

This true story will fascinate him, to the point of starting an album inspired by this story :

This will be the “Angelina Dumas” project .

Ultimately the album never saw the light of day and only one song that remained of Berger's work remained that he recorded as a duet with his wife France Gall :

Frustrated by what he considers to be a failure, Michel will not let go of what he thinks (rightly) is a good artistic vein

thanks to his wife who will make him meet the Canadian singer Diane Dufresne, Michel will work with his lyricist Luc Plamondon with whom he created the most famous rock opera in France :

The story takes place in an undated future (despite a now outdated reference to the year 2000 and the 80s) Humans now live in underground galleries redeveloped into a huge city called Monopolis. The only mirage of happiness for ordinary citizens is the number 1 television show "Starmania" where everyone can become a star for one night .

We simultaneously follow the lives and actions of several characters :

Johnny Rockfort : A young anarchist leader of the terrorist group " les étoiles noires " ( the black stars )

Sadia : A transvestite student co-creator of " les étoiles noires "

Marie Jeanne : The depressed waitress who works at the " Underground café "

Ziggy : A mythomaniac and ambitious homosexual record store owner

Cristal : The host of Starmania

Stella Spotlight : A sex symbol on the decline

Zéro Janvier : An extremist politician running for became president

Gourou Marabout : An extremist politician also competing in the presidential election

Roger-Roger : the TV presenter

Brilliantly the duo Berger / Plamondon went out of their way to organize the broadcast of a special television program in 1978 in order to present the songs to as many people as possible :

The show was performed for a short month for 33 performances at the Palais des Congrès , but it is considered one of the greatest French musicals

DISTRIBUTION :

Daniel Balavoine : Johnny Rockfort

France Gall : Cristal

Fabienne Thibeault : Marie-Jeanne

Étienne Chicot : Zéro Janvier

Diane Dufresne : Stella Spotlight

Grégory Ken : Ziggy

Nanette Workman : Sadia

Roddy Julienne : le Gourou

René Joly : Roger-Roger

Due to his short presence on stage, the show did not have the right to a complete recording (it is today considered a highly sought after lost media) but fortunately the audio of the show has available in its entirety !

To get an idea of ​​the visual identity of the show I had to dig into the TV archives :

The repetitions :

Full live audio of the show :

Single :

Monopolis / Quand on arrive en ville / Le blues du business man / La complainte de la serveuse automate / Ziggy / Le monde est stone

But the most memorable song is " SOS d'un terrien en détresse "

A song renowned for its difficulty and which launched the career of Daniel Balavoine then, years later, that of Star Academy 2004 winner Grégory Lemarchal :

ANECDOTES :

The original album contains two songs missing from the final show :

Petite Musique terrienne Part 2

L'air de l'extraterrestre

This extraterrestrial is a deleted character who only appeared physically in two production ( Francis Martin in 1980 and Marc Gabriel in 1986 , in this last version we discovered that Roger-Roger was in reality an alien ) the song, or rather its theme, will be recycled in several subsequent versions .

The show also contains several unreleased and missing songs from the album that will never be reused !!

La serveuse et les clients

Jingle de Stella

Sex shops , cinéma porno

Les parents de Cristal

Le tango de l'amour et de la mort

...

Claude Dubois (the original voice of Zéro Janvier) is the only one of the singers present on the album who did not reprise the role on stage, unfortunately it was because of his drug addiction, he took his revenge in 1989 when he replaced Richard Groulx on stage ( thanks to miss-starmania for the archive picture and additional information )

...

Michel Berger abandons his role of Grand Gourou to Roddy Julienne without any explanation ?!

...

In this version, in addition to randomly attacking wealthy people in the street, scratching their cars and raping girls in parking lots, les étoiles noires of 79 are a bit more extreme than in the other versions … Roger Roger specifies that the terrorists deliberately disconnected the oxygen ventilation of an entire neighborhood, killing all the residents ! This free murder will be deleted from other versions

...

The name Johnnie Rockfort (a complicated pun to translate which can mean "strong rock'n'roll " or just the cheese of the same name ? ) is perhaps not a coincidence , the producer of the show Roland Hubert, not being convinced by Balavoine, completely unknown at the time, he fought (in vain) with Berger so that the role was offered to the rocker Johnny Halliday

...

According to the memories of France Gall, during one of the performances a disgruntled spectator had fun whistling throughout the show exhausting Daniel Balavoine who patiently waited for the curtain call to jump into the audience to beat him up while he was still wearing his bulky costume ( the one below )

...

France Gall speaks with emotion about the show :

CTM

I have recently started watching Call The Midwife. Yes 15 years behind! I quite enjoy it. Half way through season 4. I know a little bit of things to happen, I call them baby sized spoiler, but I am trying hard to full details on how things develop.

I will say I do find it strange Jenny is still the narrator.

I don't have a favorite character nor a character I hate. Which to me is the a good thing; they all have qualities I enjoy and get excited but also there are times I want to punch them. If I had to pick a favorite it's either Sister Julienne or Cynthia, though now its Sister Mary Cynthia (I know from a baby spoiler that doesn't last) and least favorite ... crap I don't know! Perhaps the overly racist and ignorant resistances? But I know that doesn't count.

Tumblr seems obsessed with The Turners, I know the most about what's to come with LOL. I must confess I too very much enjoyed them but they are slowly getting a bit much? I am hoping as the show develops (for me) and these things I know are coming for them doesn't overtake the show as them as the main focus. I don't know if that makes sense.

Oh at any point do they (especially medical personal) ever stop smoking? It's so disgusting and just makes me want to scream why?! I know the why is because back then it was normal and they are being accurate, just curious at any point do they learn it's not acceptable?

Also I know the show is still on despite me making it seem like it's been wrapped. However the very little I know; I am avoiding later season spoilers the most, I don't know how much longer it should last...

[museaway]

Some things I've enjoyed in the past month! If I react positively to something, I generally like it whether or not it has flaws. I'll just mention what I appreciate!

read

The Housekeeper and the Professor, Yoko Ogawa. I adore this author. This book was gentle and a little heartbreaking, and really lovely. I cried over the love reveal.

The Secret Talker, Geling Yan. I won't spoil it, but while the premise is kind of absurd, the book was a wild ride. I couldn't put it down. (check warnings on this one)

my storygraph

watched

The Best Offer, 2013, starring Geoffrey Rush. A famed auctioneer becomes entangled with a young heiress who won't leave her house. The twist in this hurts. I think about it a lot.

Safe, 1995, directed by Todd Haynes. Brilliant lead performance by Julienne Moore. Disturbing look at how society treats disease. The 90s sexism rang loudly. I've admired Todd since Velvet Goldmine and don't know how I missed this one.

Ammonite, 2020, starring Kate Winslet in a fantastic performance. Watched via Kanopy (ty, library!). Melancholy love story between two women and exactly my speed. A+ on the intimacy but has an ambiguous ending. Loosely based on paleontologist Mary Anning, who is also featured in Tracy Chevalier's novel Remarkable Creatures (probably my favorite of hers).

on repeat

Jade by X JAPAN. This song goes hard. The rock opening shifts into a power ballad. I didn't think I'd heard of this band until last year, only to discover that one of my college J-rock favorites (Crucify My Love) is also theirs. Small world etc.

Aftermath by Muse. I've been looping this song for a couple of months. Something about it just goes right for my heart. Haven't been able to get enough of Neutron Star Collision either.

Call the Midwife (with mum) 9x05

The plight of a harried matriarch profoundly affects Sister Julienne and Sister Frances, while Sister Hilda helps a nervous expectant father.

Fun fact: I once saw Karl Davies (the supportive new dad) going up the escalator to Top Man in my local shopping mall. It was around the time he was in Emmerdale.

Derry Girls (rw with mum) 3x05 The Reunion

Ma Mary and Aunt Sarah are in preparation for the highly anticipated reunion class of 1977.

Still so impressed by the young mammies casting. It was beyond delightful that they got their own episode. And what a cracker it was!

Summer Strike (with mum) Ep 9 There Is an End to Everything

Yeo-reum learns a startling secret after dealing with an intruder. Dae-beom tries to put a controversy to rest. Bom's friend comes to town.

A nice chill romcom ending with a crime thriller murder plot???

Shrinking 2x02 I Love Pain

Paul and Jimmy disagree about Sean's treatment plan. Gaby's sister asks for her help. Liz has an idea for boosting business at the food truck.

Speaking of messy bitches... Does Gaby feel guilty because she was fucking Tia too? Me, rewinding, trying to see a hint of red undewear. 👀 Our doctors do indeed fuck ✅

[spocks-evil-godmother]

Rating Call the Midwife Characters because I have watched nine and a half seasons and I can

Jenny - girl you got us rolling but you were mediocre af 5/10

Trixie - somehow she is the best and worst of femininity at all times and is just like. Amazing and I love her and also god my eyes are broken from rolling them too hard 8/10

Chummy - truly one of the most perfect women of all time but she married a cop (alas) 8/10

Shelagh - do I forgive her for abandoning her vows and running off to be with the man she loves? No. But do I adore her anyways? Yes 7/10

Dr. Turner - here is the thing. I don't forgive him either. But also he's A GOOD MAN and I LIKE HIM A LOT. I feel like people think that the reason he's hot is because of his face but it's actually because in his decade of service he has never once talked down to or ignored the expertise of his midwife colleagues and listens to women so although he's not one of the girlies he can also have 7/10

While we're here, Tim - you were the most interesting when you had polio and aspirations of a mother sorry bud 4/10

Patsy - on the one hand she was a lesbian, which gives her high marks, but I don't remember, like, anything else about her so.... 6/10

Barbara - FUCKING BARBARA GHSKALAALFB I DON'T EVEN KNOW. But like I can't blame her for leaving the show when I love Ghosts even more. 6/10 despite everything.

Phyllis - nurse Crane my beloved. I respect her. She's very organized and practical and I do just feel like organized, practical women are great. Anyways no need to read into that at all 9/10

Valerie - VALERIE. Valerie. She was cool but I feel like she just... never got an arc. she got some trauma and some woes definitely but idk about an arc. 6/10

Lucille - she is SO NICE but she doesn't believe in SINNING which makes me sad but she's a sweetheart and is so kind during the bad times 7/10

Cyril - I have always loved that part where he's a pastor but only on the inside lol 6/10

Fred Buckle - truly a perfect man. No notes 10/10

Violet Buckle - I am so obsessed with Violet. I feel like the only reason she is nice is because she is married to Fred but if she was just introduced to the show, unattached, then she would be what we in showbiz call an Antagonist and yet she still lets it pop up sometimes 5/10

Reggie - I love him 7/10

Mrs. Higgins - desperately want to know what kind of lady this actress is irl because she is either absolutely hilarious or completely unhinged but as a character I don't care for her 3/10

Sister Julienne - um she's my mom and also she's your mom and maybe she's everyone's mom and ever since she went to see The Sound of Music by herself to showcase her crisis of faith I have just completely melted about her 15/10

Sister Evangelina - I JUST WANT TO BE A MEAN NUN WHEN I GROW UP BECAUSE OF HER SHE'S SO GOOD I LOVE HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR 50/10

Sister Mary Cynthia - she was SO GOOD and then..... god. 5/10 heartbreak emoji

Sister Winifred - 😬 ummm I just didn't care. Sorry 3/10

Sister Hilda - not even Sister Julienne's bff smh 4/10

Sister Frances - BABY NUN!!!! SHE IS THE BABY NUN WITH PCOS I LIKE HER A LOT!!! BABY NUN!!! 11/10

And yes I know you are all obviously waiting for the most important character of the whole show and who just lives on another level compared to every other character because she is

SISTER MONICA JOAN - MY HEART MY SOUL MY MIND MY STRENGTH I AM SITTING ON THE COUCH NEXT TO YOU AND WE ARE ARGUING ABOUT WHAT TO WATCH ON TV TOGETHER AND SHE GETS TO BE A HERETIC AS A LITTLE TREAT ALWAYS 1000/10 💖🙌🤩😘💕 SISTER MONICA JOAN WOOOOOOOOO
