5 Reasons to Read the Ember of Night Series by Molly E Lee

⭐ 5 Reasons to Read the Ember of Night Series by Molly E Lee⭐ #seriesrec #bookrec #paranormalseries

I am trying to spend this year catching up on series I own that are completed that I haven’t started and a lot of them are from the early 2010s. So expect to see quite a few of these series flashback posts this year. I feel like its character trait for me to be late to the game. But also some new ones I have recently discovered and couldn’t put down. Overall this is one of my new favorite series!…

[kanene-yaaay]

Okay okay before I even start rambling about the MAGNIFICENT and GREATNESS that is this fic lemme tell you that I just CAN'T! I CAN'T get over the image of Sylvie and Giovanni being full engaged in a tickle fight (more like attack-Sylvie-so-he-stops-denying-his-smile fight but u know what I mean hwgfwffwfuah) and she looking at them both and IMMEDIATELY ignoring the ruckus to watch the movie BWGFSTFWGWFWFGA

Queen 💛

Now back to my rambling:

This scenario is soooo cute!! I loved Giovanni and Sylvie poking fun and teasing each other w their usual banther and !!! The part where Giovanni was all "I SAW U SMILING" and Sylvi pretending he had no idea what he was talking about is actually so good I really liked it >w<

And the tickling! So light-hearted and fun!! Molly jumping right in to save her friend even knowing very well that was going to be the next victim was so cute and fun. They are ♡♡♡♡ precious ♡♡♡♡

Movie night

Warning: None, I think? Three friends just having a good time together ^^

Fandom: Epithet Erased

Description: Just a friendly movie night the Museum Trio with third-rate comedies

(Approximate) size: around 11k characters, actually?

Notes: Yes, yes, I also write, it’s just that I most often feel reluctant to translate it. This fanfic was written a year or two ago, but I decided to translate it with support @kanene-yaaay, so, thanks for that! Without you, I wouldn't have dared to do this!

~~~

It was Friday evening. And also exactly six months, one week and three days since Molly moved in with Giovanni.

She herself could not believe that everything went so smoothly: her father didn't particularly notice her disappearance, so he didn't look for her. And he was not at all embarrassed by the "overnight at a friend's" stretching for six months. Giovanni's mother, or Mrs. Potage (actually Blyndeff was surprised that "Potage" was Giovanni's real last name), quickly accepted that:

"Molly is Grandpa Frank's maternal aunt's great niece."

Giovanni himself, for some reason, left the Banzai Blasters. Molly herself didn't know the reason, but did not dare to ask. But he continued to call the girl by the nickname given to her back in the museum. In response, she sometimes called him "Boss", as then.

Also about a month ago, Dr. Ashling turned up. According to him, he recovered much earlier (fortunately, he was lucky to meet a person with the epithet “Treatment”), but Sylvester had too much to do, and could not find the time to finally call. The girl was pleased that he still kept the card she gave him.

Although, according to Ashling, he was confused when he called the number indicated and someoneб, who turned out to be Molly's dad, directed him to Giovanni's house.

Everyone was surprised then: Sylvie, who was met at the door by the former captain of the Banzai Blasters; and Giovanni, not understanding why he needed Molly; and Molly herself, who simply went to the living room to get a forgotten book, and in addition met Sylvie again.

That day they discussed many things. After that, Sylvester looked in on them from time to time, and no one really objected.

So on this Friday evening, they decided to get together and watch some movies.

Sylvie had not yet arrived, but Giovanni and Molly were already getting ready for the evening. Potage was sorting through cassettes, the old TV set refused to accept anything other than them. Blyndeff, with a gleam in her eyes, watched how a pack of popcorn was spinning in the microwave. After all, watching a movie without snacks is a crime.

Looking out from the kitchen with a bowl in her hands, the girl asked:

"How is it, Boss?"

"Great, Bear Trap," a smile beamed across the boy's face, "found a good movie for us!"

"This is cool."

Molly carefully sat down on the couch next to Giovanni, leaving the bowl on the coffee table.

"You're sure to like it," Potage handed the cassette to the girl.

"The Rock City Express?" puzzled, she read the inscription on the cassette.

"Yep, the best action comedy in our house," Giovanni smiled proudly.

"First time I've heard," Molly continued to look at the cassette.

"Oh, have you seen a lot of movies?" The guy sighed in displeasure, leaning back on the back of the couch.

"Honestly, not very," admitted Blyndeff.

"Oh, you want to talk about..."

Giovanni was interrupted by the doorbell.

"Finally!"

Potage got up from the couch and walked slowly to the door. Behind this, of course, was Ashling.

"You're late, Doc," Giovanni said snidely.

"I’m not," the guest immediately objected. "I am never late, I arrived on time."

The psychologist looked at his watch, which showed exactly seven o'clock and two minutes.

"Your watch is thirteen minutes late," Potage remarked.

"What?!" asked Ashling, looking intently at his watch.

"Or ours is in a hurry," said Giovanni, grinning from ear to ear. "Come in."

"How witty," Sylvester replied with a perfectly stone face.

But still he went. The already familiar living room, the old TV, all this was familiar to the doctor. Molly waved her hand happily in greeting.

"Hey, Sylvie!"

"Hi," Sylvie replied with a slight hesitation and waved back modestly.

Giovanni sat imposingly in the corner of the couch, Ashling squatted neatly in the middle, and Molly settled herself comfortably on the other side.

"Giovanni, can you put the cassette in?" asked Blyndeff.

"Of course, of course, my faithful minion!"

Potage took the cassette from the girl and inserted it into the receiver. He hummed softly, letting you know that he was still working. Giovanni returned to his seat, taking the remote control with him.

Meanwhile, the doctor glanced at the cassette box.

"Wait, what the heck is that?!" Sylvester grabbed the box and looked at the cover.

"What?" Didn't understand Potage.

"What kind of third-rate comedy is that?" Ashling said irritably, waving the box around.

"Doc, you don't understand anything about movies!"

Giovanni snatched the box from the doctor's hands.

"This movie is the best comedy in this house! I know it!"

"I'm sorry that this garbage of cinema is the best movie in your house."

Sylvester folded his arms across his chest. Potage was about to answer him somehow, but Molly got into their conversation.

"The movie begin."

The girl carefully pulled the popcorn bowl closer to her.

"Now you will understand how wrong you are, Doc."

"Doc" just snorted in annoyance and stared at the screen.

The comedy, although it was really third-rate, didn’t stop Giovanni from laughing out loud at every joke. From Molly, too, chuckles and giggles were heard from time to time. Ashling, on the other hand, was staring at the screen with an indifferent expression. He thought he was too intelligent to laugh at such bad humor.

“Personally, clowns don’t seem funny to me at all.” Heard from the TV. “To tell you the truth, I'm afraid of them. I don't even know when it began. Probably when I was taken to the circus as a child and a clown killed my father.”

Sylvester covered his grin with his hand. This joke wasn't so bad.

"What's the matter, Doc?" Potage asked, smiling, noticing the change on his friend's face.

"Hah?"

The smirk was quickly replaced by a bored face.

"Nothing."

"Oka-ay," drawled Giovanni, but the smile was still on his face.

With a dramatic roll of his eyes, the doctor continued to watch. Unless, after a couple of scenes, another phrase slipped through that caused Ashling to grin.

"HA!"

Potage shouted smugly, pointing his finger at Sylvie.

"Smiling! So not such a third-rate movie!"

Giovanni folded his arms across his chest and lifted his head proudly, still looking at his friend. Sylvie returned the bored face and said:

"It must have seemed to you. Because I didn't smile."

"You can't fool me."

Giovanni approached the doctor, looking him straight in the eye. And immediately pulled away:

"And Bear Trap saw everything, right?"

Molly looked up from the movie.

"Huh? I guess?"

"Yeah, she didn't see anything," Ashling drawled.

"So it means that there was something to see!" Potage announced triumphantly.

"Ah... Um..." Sylvester did not immediately find something to answer this. "She didn't see anything because there was nothing to see!"

"You're making excuses! Everyone who has done something is making excuses!" Potage argued.

"Those who did nothing also make excuses, by the way!"

"Yeah-yeah, but I've seen you smile and it's useless to hide it, Doc."

Giovanni nudged the doctor lightly in the side with his elbow. And, of course, a stifled squeak from this same doctor didn’t pass by his ears. Potage glanced at Sylvie with concern.

"Is everything okay? Do you have a bruise or something?"

He poked at the same place again, testing his theory. Which caused a traitorous chuckle from Ashling. Giovanni stared at the doctor in bewilderment, but, having thought of something, narrowed his eyes cunningly, still looking at Sylvie.

"And what was it?"

"N-nothing?" Ashling smiled uncertainty and looked away.

"Oh," Potage began conspiratorially, "I don't think so, Doc."

Sylvester slowly moved away from the guy until he crashed into Molly. The girl again was distracted from the film and looked at her friend with incomprehension.

"Something's wrong?"

To be on the safe side, she put the bowl of popcorn back on the table.

"Nothing," Giovanni repeated the doctor's words. "I just found out something new about our Sylvie."

Having said this, Potage abruptly jerked forward at Ashling, raising his hands. With cries, Sylvie and Giovanni fell on the couch. Molly stared at this picture, literally unfolding under her nose, in bewilderment.

"Get off me!" the doctor immediately yelled, pushing his friend away with his hands.

"Nope," Potage said contentedly, wiggling his fingers. "Until I check it out!"

"Check the wha…"

Giovanni didn't wait for Sylvie to finish, and began to run his fingers rapidly along his sides. At the same moment Ashling stopped short and covered his mouth with his hands. But even such efforts were not successful. Here and there a chuckle slipped through; It was amusing to Potage to watch these futile attempts.

Molly, looking at this, thought for a couple of moments and decided to continue watching the movie. Sylvie, at that moment lying at her side and trying to hide her laughter, did not bother the girl at all.

"Cut. It. OUT!" Ashling snarled through his teeth (and, obviously, through his hands).

He tried with all his might to restrain himself, to endure and wait until Giovanni simply got bored with this business.

"No way!"

But he doesn't seem to get bored of it.

Potage accepted this peculiar challenge and smiled confidently, continuing his attack. But deciding that if he continues in the same spirit, he will not see anything new, Giovanni changed his place, raising his hands higher.

At this point Ashling's defenses collapsed. Quickly dropping his hands in an attempt to hide at least something from Potage's attack, the doctor burst into laughter. It was different from his "sinister" laugh and was more... childish.

"S-stop!"

"I knew it!"

Giovanni smiled triumphantly. He had no intention of stopping any time soon.

"Bear Trap, just look!"

"Eh?" Molly looked up from the movie again. "Oh."

"Help," Ashling pleaded piteously through laughter.

Blyndeff looked at the guys. Well, for some time the Boss wasn't tickling her. And it even looked cute from the outside. But perhaps you need help...

The girl reached out for Giovanni's arms, as he declared:

"You'll get yours too, Bear Trap," a playful, sinister grin appeared on his face.

Molly jerked her hand away in fright. She didn't really want to be in Sylvie's place right now. But when she looked at them again, she sighed, preparing for the worst. Blyndeff knew what she would get at the end.

"Sudden attack!"

Molly screamed and jumped on Potage, falling off the couch with him. Without giving Giovanni time to realize what had happened, she herself, closing her eyes, began to tickle him.

"…It's not fair… …to use… …my attacks… …on me!" with difficulty keeping the connection between the words, the guy shouted, while not even really resisting.

"...To attack... ...without warning... ...is also not fair..."

The doctor tried to get his breath back. Well, he hadn't laughed like that in a long time. Ashling stared at his friends with blank eyes, thinking. While Sylvie digested what had happened, Giovanni turned the tables, and now he was taking revenge on the girl.

When Potage finally calmed down and helped Blyndeff to his feet, they finally took notice of the hovering doctor. Giovanni waved his hand in concern in Sylvie's face.

"Doc? Are you okay?"

Molly tapped Ashling gently on the shoulder. This brought him out of his trance and the doctor looked around absently.

"Eh? What?"

"You okay?" Potage repeated the question. "I hope I didn't go too far? Bring some water?"

Sylvester looked at his friend with his usual sarcastic gaze. The only thing with which Giovanni "went too far" is with feelings.

"I'm fine, not dying," Ashling declared, thus reassuring the others.

"I'm sorry," Potage scratched the back of his head guiltily as he sat down next to Sylvie. "But understand, I had to check it out."

Potage spread his hands, saying, "I couldn't do anything about it."

"I got what you mean."

Adjusting his glasses, the doctor moved closer to Molly and said irritably:

"Next time, let me breathe, you moron."

Potage nodded at first, not attaching much importance to Ashling's words. Then the meaning of what was said hit him.

"You mean 'next time'?" the guy drawled in puzzlement.

"And what is wrong?"

"I thought you were going to say something in your nutty way," Giovanni said, and mimicked that 'nutty way' by gesturing vigorously. " 'Don't touch me again or I'll strangle you!' "

"It's just that I know you're going to ignore it," the doctor snorted uncertainly.

"He wouldn't," Blyndeff broke in, "you know that."

Potage nodded again. Ashling involuntarily admitted that usually this guy really would not hurt someone. At least if asked. Accordingly, here Sylvester could simply ask not to interfere with him and, with a probability of sixty-seven percent, Giovanni would listen to him.

Then why didn't Sylvester do it?

"So you...don't mind, then?" A smile slowly spread over Potage's face.

"You know, I should probably go," Ashling said somewhere to the side, slowly getting up from the couch.

They didn't let him get up. The next moment, the doctor was enclosed in a general embrace, Molly stuck to his side, and on the other hand, Giovanni, like some kind of older brother, furiously ruffled his hair.

Only after a couple of minutes in this form, Blyndeff suddenly announced in an upset:

"Oh! I missed half the movie because of you!"

[tired-and-ticklish]

Please more hazbin hotel tk headcanons please, you can choose the character that you like (except Valentino please :)

Gotta go with my favorite spider then

Ler

He's got four-six arms depending on what he's doing

Angel is actually very gentle for a ler, due to knowing how bad it can be when people go too far.

He'd get into tickle-fights with his twin sister Molly when they were alive

His favorite 'victims' are Charlie, Husk, and Cherri

He especially loves to tease Husk in Italian

"Aww, chi è un gattino carino e solletico~?" ("who's a cute, ticklish kitty~?")

Angel also loves to do the 'itsy bitsy spider' song while tickling someone's ribs or sides.

Loves to give raspberries too, either on the neck (with Husk) or stomachs. Or nibbles (calls them 'spider bites')

The only one besides Niffty and Husk brave/dumb enough to tickle Alastor, despite knowing he'll regret it later.

Besides Charlie, Angel is the second instigator of the hotel tickle fights.

Always makes sure there's a safeword and respects it

Won't restrain with anything other than his arms

Not opposed to using tools, but prefers more hands on methods

Lee

His worst spots are any of his underarms, his thighs, his back and his ribs

You know how he'll do the 'itsy bitsy spider' thing to you? He'll absolutely die if someone does it to him

"C-Come on, we can t-talk about this, right?"

How he found out he was still ticklish even in death is that, during one of the times Velvette was measuring him for an outfit, she scratched his side by accident and he snorted.

Velvette couldn't keep her mouth shut, so that's how the other Vees found out.

Cherri was the one who showed him tickling doesn't have to be intense or awful like how Val does it.

Too feather ticklish, will crumple like a wet tissue if feathers are used on him.

Husk likes to tickle Angel with his wings due to this fact

While his feet are ticklish, they're not a worst spot and he hates having his feet touched.

Seriously he will kick you in the face if you try.

Doesn't like being restrained, he likes to be able to flail or cover his face.

Raspberries also kill him

Can't handle back massages

If you get a particularly good spot, he makes spider chirps

[thebest-medicine]

Can I request either 12 or 14 (dealers choice) for critical role?? lee!caleb and ler!mollymauk if you would be ever so kind :D

P.S. I'm literally in love with your writing it's SO GOOD I read e erything you write, including stuff in fandoms I'm not I'm which I don't normally do <3

Prompt 12 - "So, what's this I hear about you being deathly ticklish?"

Prompt 14 - "Well, well, well... Look what we have here."

A/N: thank you so much you're so sweet!!!!! this is such a high compliment! I appreciate you! and yes yes yes of course you may, and in fact, I’ll do both! (also.. it’s my half birthday today.. six months left of my twenties…. dang!) - longish so under a rm

…

“So, what’s this I hear about you being deathly ticklish?”

Caleb balks. “You- you heard what? From- from who?!”

Mollymauk grins, fixing him with his gaze. “That sounds a lit-tle too frantic for it not to be true..”

“Nein- Mollymauk..” Caleb gets up, taking a few steps back in retreat. “There’s no need for you to do such foolish- no no no get away from mehehe!” He starts to giggle as Molly pursues him with a saunter and a smirk.

“Sorry dear, but this is one of those threads I just have to tug.” The tiefling offers in a consoling tone, gaining on him. Caleb takes off into a full on sprint off to his room. Molly chirps excitedly, surprised by the voracity with which the wizard is trying to escape. Must be quite ticklish indeed. He jogs off after him, still determined.

Caleb slams the door to his tower room behind him. What was he thinking? Was Molly still following him? How was this going to end? Did he have a chance of getting out of it? Who told him? Was he on his way here now? If he is, what’s he going to do? If he is stopped now, when is he going to bring it up again? Surely this won’t be the end of it, will it? Caleb’s mind swirls with questions. He shuffles over to the bed, not bothering to lock the door, and waits.

Less than a minute passes and there’s an animated knock on the door. “Oh Caleb!” The familiar voices of Mollymauk greets him from the other side. “Open up, we weren’t done talking earlier.”

Molly tries the handle and is surprised to find it opens. He peeks into the room, still smiling. “Well, well, well, look what we have here. No magical locks, I see.. or any for that matter?” Molly opens the door a little wider, straightening up. “Why’d you run off so quickly? We have much to discuss, you see.” He steps into the room when he sees no sign of Caleb stopping him or shouting at him to leave.

Caleb’s cheeks are red as he draws his legs up to his chest, wrapping his arms around his knees defensively. “I’d- I’d be happy to sit and talk with you about anything else.” Caleb offers.

“No, no, see, I’m rather curious about that reaction you had back there.” Molly grins. “And well, what can I say, you’ve rubbed off on me.” He winks at the wizard, approaching the end of the bed and wiggling his fingers menacingly. “And you know how you get when you’re curious.”

Caleb gulps, backing himself against the headboard with a poorly hidden smile. Whoever his source, Mollymauk was right, unfortunately. Caleb was indeed deathly ticklish. And it doesn’t look like he’s getting out of this unscathed.

Caleb balls up, clenching his arms to his sides in a giddy wave of fear. “Waitwaitwaitwait-”

Molly climbs across the bed, looms over him. They’re close in stature, but right now, the tiefling seems to eclipse him. “No more waiting.” He lilts, and brings his hands forward to gently ‘crack an egg’ on each kneecap.

“Nnn- ahhh!” Caleb’s breath catches as he wiggles to readjust and tries to move his knees away from Molly. But, there’s not really anywhere to go now. His legs shift to his right side and there’s a sudden hand on his left flank. He shouts, biting his cheek to hold in a laugh. “Molll-eeeehe, bitte! Please!”

“This is absolutely delightful. Can’t stop just yet.” Molly sounds practically reverent as he leans in closer, inspecting Caleb’s smile and scrunched eyes. Caleb blushes further. Hands creep along to his stomach, and he kicks out on instinct. Molly catches one leg, then the other. He shuffles about, forcing them flat so that he can sit over Caleb’s lap, making Caleb’s face turn an unhealthy shade of red.

“Now, now, I’ll be gentle. Relax, ticklish.” Molly teases in a dismissive tone.

Caleb feels so embarrassed and giddy and stupid that he thinks perhaps his head might explode. He doesn’t even have time to plead as Molly starts tickling up and down his sides, starting low at his hips and working his way up. Caleb’s slapping, flailing hands do little to nothing to deter him, except maybe entertain him with their pathetic dance. He can’t hold it in anymore, he knows, especially when Mollymauk makes it to the base of his ribs and starts tickling up, up, up. Caleb bursts, cackling laughter falling from his lips as he falls to the side of his bed, making a grab for a pillow to muffle himself in.

“Your laugh!” Mollymauk coos. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you laugh proper. It’s lovely. I’d love to hear it more.” He laughs himself, then. “I suppose I can make that happen, now.”

I saw you're reading legends and lattes which I haven't read yet, but I'd like too! So seeing as you seem like a big reader do you have any recommendations for Halloween reads? Traditional books or if?

I am a pretty big reader. But, even more than that, I'm a library associate so knowing a lot about books and providing recommendations is a core aspect of my job (a job that I adore) 😊

I have been recommending and will continue to recommend Legends and Lattes as a cozy, sweet, delightfully queer read. Definitely give it a go if you've been considering it.

I haven't been able to read much IF recently (so, honestly, I'd be very interested in any recommendations you all might have for good Halloween IF reads) but here are some traditional books (and graphic novels) that I'm happy to pass on. If you have a more specific genre you're interested in, let me know (like I said, this is what I do and I adore it). Many of these don't directly relate to Halloween, but for whatever reason, I think they fit the spooky season. I tried to present a wide range of titles and these are in no order whatsoever. Please enjoy.

My Adult Life

The radio station I listen to in the car, WYEP, has for the last few years collected listener's picks with each song entry gaining one vote. Then they crunch the numbers and order the favorite songs for a week long count down to the top ten.

It's the station's fiftieth year. I remember when the station began because I lived in the neighborhood where the studio was located. "Studio" is probably a bit grandiose, the space was a slightly converted two-car garage. The theme this year is : best songs of the last fifty years.

I'd be a terrible DJ. I'm not sure any of the twenty songs I've contributed to past countdowns ever made the list, which is saying something because the list of songs numbers over a thousand. I do admire the DJ craft. And I liked the notion of thinking about music of the last fifty year. It's the music of my adult life.

One thing about being old is knowing a lot about bad habits and ruts. Trying to avoid obvious habits, I decided to make a list of songs by women artist and order the songs according to decade. Then I picked fout songs from the five decades to make a list of twenty songs. I mixed up the songs to make the playlist as I used to do with mix tapes.

Here's the list (The link is to a YouTube playlist of the songs):

#5 Bears End NCAA's in 7th Place

Tatematsu, Fouillet Earn Top-20 Finishes

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Playing through windy conditions on the final day of the NCAA Regional, the California women's golf team moved up the leaderboard for the second straight round, ending in seventh place with a pair of top-20 individual finishes.

Senior Rina Tatematsu (73-74-71 – 218) made the Golden Bears' biggest climb of the day, jumping up 12 spots to earn a team-best 13th-place finish. She was one of just three golfers to shoot under par on Wednesday at Spanish Trail Country Club, tying for the round's second-lowest score with a 1-under-par 71. Tatematsu had a team-best five birdies on the day, while her 2-under tournament total on par 3s led the entire field.

Constance Fouillet (76-68-76 – 220) finished 4-over both for the day and the tournament, ending her first NCAA Regional in 18th place. She caps her stellar debut season with a 72.7 scoring average, breaking the program's previous freshman scoring record of 73.6 set by Katherine Zhu in 2018-19.

After missing the first round due to illness, sophomore Adora Liu (70-73) bounced back to post the team's second-lowest score in two straight rounds. Her 1-over 73 in round three was good for the seventh-best individual score.

Senior Cristina Ochoa (75-77-75 – 227) closed out her final regional in 41st place with a 3-over 75 and sophomore Olivia Lee (80-76-77 – 233) carded a 5-over 77.

Despite starting the day 11 strokes out of fifth place, the Bears remained confident knowing that they had saved their best score for the last round in seven of their previous eight tournaments. They finished six strokes shy of matching fifth-place Florida State (+14), which advanced to the NCAA Championships alongside UCLA (+12), Baylor (+8), Purdue (+4) and first-place Arkansas (E).

This was also the 23rd and final regional for Nancy McDaniel, who has served as Cal's founding head coach for the past 29 seasons. McDaniel – who recently announced that she will be retiring following the season – leaves behind an immense legacy that includes two Pac-10/12 and West Regional Coach of the Year awards, two Pac-10 championships, five top-five showings at NCAA Regionals, one NCAA Regional win, and three top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships.

"It's a unique day. You don't ever get this day until today, so you can't practice it," McDaniel said. "When you're in regionals, you're just thinking about regionals. But when you have former players texting you, and you see some really special alums show up in person, you understand the relationships that you've created together and the impact they've had on you. That's what it's all about."

In McDaniel's final season at the helm, the Bears tied or broke six program records, most of which were achieved during a blistering stretch in the fall when they won three straight competitions for the first time ever.

Since setting four program records at the Molly Invitational in September, the Bears have continued to make this a season to remember. They defeated No. 1 Stanford 4-3 in the Big Match and came from behind to win the Ron Moore Intercollegiate in October, sealing the program's run of victories. To just miss the championships by six strokes and place 7th out of 72 teams is a respectable accomplishment by any measure.

"I'm competitive. Cal is competitive. This is another step in the direction that we're striving towards," McDaniel said. "We know where we want to be. I'm going to support, help, and be in the background to see Cal golf go to that next level. I want them to have that."

In case you care 🫶 QX article about Gaygala.

ALLT OM QX GAYGALA

FOTO MARKOS AKATHIOTIS & JONAS NORÉN

QX Gaygala 2023 blev ett tjusigt 25-årsjubileum med stora känslor, överraskningar och uppträdanden som lyfte taket.

Det blev en fantastisk kväll när QX-galan fyllde 25 år i början av februari. Sissela Kyle ledde galan för 8:e gången, men det här var även hennes sista, Gaygalamormor har nämligen gått i pension nu sa hon från scenen. Årets QX-gala började stillsamt och vackert då Omar Rudberg sjöng ledmotivet från Young Royals tillsammans med en kör, samtliga iklädda Hillerskas skoluniformer. I slutet av låten delade sig kören och Edvin gjorde entré på scenen och gick fram till Omar. De kramade om varandra till publikens jubel och Edvin ropade ut ”Välkomna till Gaygalan 2023”. Och vi var igång!

Som vanligt blandas humor och allvar på galan, Sissela hade ett sylvasst manus som Edward af Sillén och Daniel Rehn skrivit och drog ner skratt på skratt från en heltänd publik. Hon slog sig ner i Christer Lindarws knä och undrade om de verkligen hade fått fast på den där kobran som rymt från Skansen och sjöng en ny text till Pärleporten till hbtq-nominerade Andreas Wijk, ”han har öppnat garderoben, så att du kan komma ut”.

Sissela berättade om svenska hjälten Julia som bor i Oslo med sin flickvän och som övermannade terroristen som sköt ihjäl två personer utanför en gayklubb i Oslo på midsommarafton. Julia välkomnades in på scenen och hyllades stort av en publik som gav henne kvällens längsta applåd.

På scenen fick vi även en artistkavalkad med bland andra Molly Hammar, som även vann pris för bästa låt, vi fick besök av Zara Larsson som började med att sjunga duett med sig själv i låten ”Uncover” från Gaygalan 2013 för att sedan framföra nya singeln ”Can’t tame her”. Sanna Nielsen gav oss melloklassikern ”I’m in love”, medan Medina fick taket att lyfta med sin ”In i dimman”. Men mest jubel av alla fick ändå damtrion Hanson, Carson, Malmqvist när de gjorde entré och framförde ”C’est la vie”.

Mian Lodalen tilldelades QX Hederspris och blev inte bara galans gladaste vinnare utan mest överraskade vinnare då vi inte meddelat henne i förväg, sekunderna när hon insåg att hon skulle få Hederspriset var magiska!

Sveriges nya dragmamma Robert Fux delade ut priset Årets Drag och sa bland annat ”Glitter är mod, glitter är kamp, och kampen är inte över på långa vägar”.

Petra ”September” Marklund gav oss ett sjukt snyggt hitsmedley som fick varenda kotte på fötter. ”Snickar-Björn” som kommit ut som Lee hyllades stort för sitt mod och delade ut Årets Tv-program till Young Royals medan Årets HBTQ delades ut av Benjamin Ingrosso och gick till Edvin Törnblom som tackade den äldre generationen gays för allt de gjort i kampen för hbtq-rättigheter.

Sedan stod hon bara där på scenen, Leila K, feat Jessica Folcker och framförde ikoniska ”Electric” och varenda gäst på Cirkus dansade sjöng och skrek i extas. En av många överraskningar vilket blivit lite av galans signum genom de 25 åren som den funnits.

Tack alla!

Mocky - Overtones for the Omniverse - from 2021, minimalism to psychedelic soul to neo-exotica, played by a small orchestra

Following up his score for the japanese Netflix Anime series “Carole & Tuesday”, Mocky returns to album mode with his new orchestral opus “Overtones For The Omniverse”. Just days before the first Covid lockdowns, Mocky brought a 16 person orchestra comprising of his usual who’s who of underground talent into LA’s Barefoot Studios (and into the same room where Stevie Wonder recorded “Songs in the Key of Life”) to record a pile of scores he had come up with during his previous year’s sabbatical in Portugal. The result is a stunning orchestral album recorded in 36 hours in one or two takes straight off the written page. Shunning the “possible perfection” of today's recording techniques, Mocky looked back as a way to find an alternate future. The album runs the gamut from Steve Reich infused minimalism overlaid with Dorothy Ashby style harp runs (“Overtures”) to atonal analogue synth sounds over Martin Denny style percussion (“Bora!”). There's a classic Mocky crooning number that gives a Jim Henson-esque take on the state of “Humans” and the album as a whole captures Mocky's skill of bringing together the joyful energy of a unique cast of LA collaborators.  Featuring: Randal Fisher / Flute, Vicky Farewell / Piano, Vocals, Harry Foster / Bass, Vibraphone, Tubular Bells, Vocals Joey Dosik / Organ and Glockenspiel, Vocals, Guillermo E.
