Wereldkeuken Haarlem gaat verder op reis na een jaar onderkomen te hebben gehad bij Turquoise op het Beatrixplein in Haarlem. Beide stichtingen kijken terug op een mooie en intensieve periode waarin is onderzocht of en hoe ze kunnen samenwerken. Hieruit is gebleken dat het bewandelen van elk een eigen pad de beste optie is om de gewenste impact te kunnen maken. De unieke missies, doelen, werkwijzen en de kracht van gemeenschappen bieden kansen om afzonderlijk van elkaar verder te groeien en zich te ontwikkelen. Waar mogelijk blijven de stichtingen in de toekomst krachten bundelen. Wereldkeuken Haarlem hoopt rond de zomer een nieuwe locatie te hebben gevonden voor het restaurant en om haar sociale activiteiten te houden. Tot die tijd blijft het Beatrixplein de thuisbasis. Lilian Balit, coördinator Wereldkeuken Haarlem: “Onze catering gaat heel goed, de aanvragen groeien. Mensen genieten van het eten en onze werkwijze. Mensen sturen ons zelf dankbrieven. Een stimulans om hier nóg meer mee te doen. De locatie van ons restaurant is helaas minder optimaal gebleken. En een reden om verder op reis te gaan. We gaan op zoek naar een meer centraal gelegen plek. Een locatie die onze bezoekers goed kunnen vinden, waar we ze een warm welkom kunnen geven én waar we onze sociale activiteiten goed kunnen doen.” Jacky van den Bosch, coördinator Turquoise: “Door de komst van de Wereldkeuken, een begrip in Haarlem, en de sociale activiteiten die Lilian organiseert, is veel positieve reuring ontstaan. We kijken terug op een leuk en leerzaam jaar. Onze wegen gaan weliswaar scheiden, maar we blijven elkaar een warm hart toedragen én weten elkaar ook in de toekomst te vinden.” Over de Wereldkeuken Haarlem Mensen verbinden en hun talenten zichtbaar maken en ontplooien. Dat is wat Stichting Wereldkeuken sinds 2015 doet. De Wereldkeuken is sindsdien uitgegroeid tot een grote en actieve community in Haarlem. De Wereldkeuken is een thuisbasis voor nieuwe Haarlemmers om makkelijker een plek in hun eigen stad te vinden. ‘Nieuwe’ Haarlemmers met roots vanuit de hele wereld en ‘oude’ Haarlemmers tuinieren samen, koken met elkaar en ondernemen creatieve en educatieve activiteiten. Iedere donderdag en vrijdag bereiden de koks van de Wereldkeuken de favoriete gerechten uit hun vaderland. Als een ode aan waar zij vandaan komen, als een herinnering aan wat zij achterlieten en als invulling in het land waar zij nu leven en een bestaan opbouwen.

[catfever7]

Things have been very interesting in life lately.

Last week I went to Seattle for my McMenamins adventures, which was super fun, but then on the way back in Centralia, I ended up losing my passport (not my travel passport, my funn McMenamins passport) which at this point is kind of more important in all honesty.

Anyway, in some kind of miracle, some kind soul found it on Monday night, and I drove back to Centralia and picked it up on Tuesday after work. Like you seriously have no idea how heartbroken I was when I thought my passport might be gone forever :(

Anyway, now I have it back, and I'm so so close.. to it be complete, Bend, Oregon is my last official place to visit and get stamped and then I will become a Cosmic Tripster and get to go to the party at the Grand Lodge hotel in September!!!

My girlfriends Cara and Cher are going with my to Bend to help me celebrate my last stamp.

This weekend has also been McMenamins adventures, Friday night was Rock and Roll bingo at the Crystal Ballroom which was super funn, ran into a few friends and then Saturday was an alll day adventure with my goood friend John, we went to Lincoln City to the McMenamins the Brew Fest there, then we had to go hang out at the beach, because how can you not see the beach?

After that we were driving back and stopped in Wilsonville, because McMenamins Wilsonville was celebrating a birthday as well, so we collected a stamp there too.

Good times with a Good friend :)

Besides all this, McMenamins Stuff, my Nashville trip is pretty much set, hotel ✔️ Jack Daniel's Whiskey tour ✔️ Grand Ole Oprey Tour ✔️ Hop on Hop off Bus Ticket ✔️

I'm sure I'll come up with some other stuff to add to the agenda.

Naomi: headcanons & aesthetics

Mun Ari: A precious anon ask for this and since it was getting SO LONG (as always), I decided to make individual posts of Naomi and Sabine so I deliver their request! I hope you enjoy it!

[Note: * means something I invented for my AU since there are many blank spaces in the DL verse]

Naomi Nakahara von Adler:

She's the heiress of the Eagle clan*

The Eagle clan remains neutral most of the time. They did participated in the big war, but now they want to be "on good terms" with the other clans. However, they won't hesitate to attack if they feel threatened or sees a great oportunity to invade.

Her mother is queen Kouyou Nakahara and his father is king Kouyosuke Nakahara*.

Naomi physically takes mostly after her father although she inherited her grandma's eye color, but in terms of personality she takes after her mother. They look a little like this:

It was an arranged mariage, but her parents always respected each other*. They were a great team in terms of ruling and raising their only daughter. Since they were very involved rasing Naomi, they decided for her to be an only child. However, Naomi always wanted to have siblings though.

Her eyes are almond shaped, long, curly, thick eyelashes and a beautiful hazel color with hints of green. Like this:

Her hair is a beautiful black with hints of dark brown when exposed to the sunlight. Is long (reaches her lower back) and straight and prefers to keep her forehead exposed, so no bangs.

She has sharp jawline, porcelain skin, but she adds some hints of color with a very simple makeup (a very natural-like aspect). She also has freckles, so she looks younger than her actual age. Ari one time described her as a porcelain doll with cute freckles, and since then Naomi doesn't hide them unless there are important events that she wants to look imposing and to be taken seriously.

Gorgeous body, attractive and generous chest, hourglass figure and a great sense of fashion. She dress with the "old-rich aesthetic" as she's quite conservative with her appearance as a member of the royal family. Something like this, but with freckles:

As a member of the Eagle clan and being an Eagle demon, she can transform into an eagle*. Since it is said that the Eagle clan is in the east of the Makai and mainly has beaches as their natural environment, I choose the Oprey Pandion haliaetus also known as Sea Hawk, River Hawk or Fish Hawk (image below). Her feather are super soft and repel water when she hunts (cause' she does and is a popular sport in the Eagle clan: fishing mixed with hunt in their animal form). Her familiars are hawks which are smaller in size (I thought about a Falco columbarius aka Merlin Hawk [second picture]).

She's around the same age as Reiji, but physically speaking she'll always look 3-4 years older than Ari. As a demon herself, she can control her appearance, so she'll make herself look older than Ari as years go by and Ari naturally gets older. [At some point, Ari turns in an inmortal being of course~].

Naomi is consider a beauty both in the human and demon world. Her demonic nature is behind it and attracts more attention in the human word due to this. This doesn't mean she likes it though.

Personality like: she's very serious, polite, with a sharp tongue, brutally honest, cold and hates being surrounded with interested people overe everything. She's also very intelligent and calculating, sassy and sarcastic. This is for everyone, BUT those she finds dear to her. She has this "big-sister energy", very affectionate, loyal, overprotective and sweet/softie. She appreciates honesty, uniqueness and kindness over all in people she chooses to love.

She finds humans very interesting, this love for everything human-related was born at a very young age. She spent various periods in the human world due to the constant tension between clans. She to had a human nanny/teacher and that marked her greatly.

The nanny's name was Sophia Trovar and was doting and loving with Naomi. She never hid the truth of the questions Naomi made no matter how hard/crude they could be. Even if she was weak, she protected Naomi and treated her as a loving aunt. As a human oblivious of her student's nature, she taught her how to be a human lady. With that her lessons moved around history, politics, art of the human world. Naomi fell in love and deep down wished she was a human herself.

Sadly, they had to part ways as Noami's decision when she "turned" 26. She managed to changed her appereance, but the lie she used was she had to live in another country and Sophia couldn't follow her due to her own family. As Naomi would never age unlike Sophia and so she was afraid she'll get scared of her. Sophia passed away from age and Naomi suffered deeply her loss. She went back to the demon world and took the decision to attend her royal rsponsabilities and study a human career at the same time (after all she had all the time of the world). She choose medicine and she specialized in gynecology.

Naomi as a ruler: she hasn't inherited the throne yet. She's still studying and learning to take the lead and reins of the Eagle Clan. As years go by, everyone will pressure her to marry someone that will help her rule. By that time, Naomi is already in a relationship with Yuri and was struggling between her sense of duty and heart. Yet, if she were to give up the throne, then the new king would be her cousin Austin.

That wasn't an option, since Austin has a more traditional ruling style: he leans more into a more sever and violent approach, so he would be willing to go to war at any moment. Naomi had built alliances over the years with the vampire, wolf and the raven clan and a good political relationship with the Vibora clan. On the other hand, Austin is against the idea of recognizing the Raven clan as an independent and free clan considers them lowly livings and thinks that the rest of the eagle citizens or other clans will make fun of them (something that somehow is the case). So giving up the throne is a dangerous move, after all her partner herself is a ghoul and she wants to help them plus she already supports Ari and Kino as the leaders.

AND you may wonder: how they solved this? Well, Naomi upfront ask her parents to allow her to marry Yuri otherwise she'll give up her title. Her parents allowed it, since they didn't like Austin's ruling style and problem solved. Naomi is "all or nothing" type.

Things with what Naomi struggles (in general): Naomi sometimes has a hard time to understand complex human emotions due to her demon nature. For her is easier to cut off people on her life is thanks to this and that also includes romantic relationships. She tried going out with humans, but it was very complicated. She didn't act nor feel as a normal woman and those males she went out with couldn't provide her with her specific demon needs. She did freaks out people that get to know her in terms of reactions or when she went through her demon cycles (she gets agressive, thirsty, impatient, cruel, sadistic, etc). She has made Ari afraid from time to time, but Ari isn't normal since she deals with Kino. That was an advantage for her friendship to work. That's why her relationship with Yuri works: he's a demon after all (plus Yuri is very chill and deals with Arino 24/7 lol).

Once they got close, Naomi won't allow Kino to do various things to Ari. In tems of power and strength: Kino is more powerful and stronger (after all he has KarlHeinz's genes and is a male vampire), but he allows her to continue living thanks to her rank and Ari does protect her on her own way. Besides, having her nearby is of huge advantage as an ally for the ghoul's cause.

Naomi's relationships:

Ari: she sees her a cute little sister (the one she always wanted). Ari's highest qualities are her kindness and honesty which are what Naomi appreciates the most. Also Ari's uniqueness and loving nature is what captured her the most. She's very protective and spoiling of her. She believes that Ari deserves better and she would have prefered she had a normal life with a human partner instead of Kino. Although she supports it since she has seen their relationship herself since it's mutual. If Ari asks for something, Naomi will likely agree and she's 100% on her side. Best friends forever…literally. Kino: yeah… no. I mean, they do get along… but it's all for Ari's sake. Kino sees her as a nuisance, but useful. He HATES she buts in in his/their bussiness, but she allows her to be around due to Ari's insistence and her status. He does respects her since she's very intelligent and (sassy) fun. They bicker constantly, but she is amusing after all. Impressed she fell for a ghoul and low-key had an eye on her for Yuri's sake lol. Yuri: he won her heart. If she was asked, what atracted her about him? She would answer his calmness, politeness, sense of responsability, his passion, loyalty, patience and the sound of his voice. Yuri's ability to handle Kino and Arino as a whole made the trick. Yuri brings balance to their relationship since Naomi is more passionate, intense and even noisy when looses it, Yuri can handle her just perfect. He's also very smooth and makes Naomi weak to her knees. Yep, a match made in the makai~.

Mun Ari: That's all I can think about(? Thank you for the ask! This help me a lot to develop Naomi or more like improve her! Many things were kept the same, but I did change some things! I hope you like it!

A recent video piece by the artist Rachel Maclean is a blood-splattered spy thriller called DUCK, which just finished its run at the 2024 International Film Festival Rotterdam. Viewers could catch the short at a programmed screening, or as part of a special installation, themed around a postwar private members’ club. DUCK stars multiple Marilyn Monroes, as well as every iteration of James Bond—from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. There’s also a UFO conspiracy, an explosive car crash, and a shootout scene worthy of Grand Theft Auto. As with all of Maclean’s work, the entire film has been shot on green screen, and that’s not the real Sean Connery, nor the real Monroe: in fact, the only actor is Maclean herself, playing every single part, cunningly disguised using deepfake technology.

In Mont Brison mag Franky 2,5 week verblijven als wij in Nederland zijn! Pierre en Josephine wachten ons op, op vrijdagmiddag 26 mei. 12 min voor aankomst, wanneer we kort stoppen om te tanken, wil Franky niet meer. En dat terwijl we helemaal vanuit Bourgneuf, in de Franse Alpen, onderweg zijn geweest met meerdere tussenstops. Gelukkig worden we gered door een lieve monteur, ook al is het voor hem bijna sluitingstijd en dus weekend. We hebben een prachtig weekend op het Franse platteland net voor we naar NL gaan.
