I'm working on a request for Code Lyoko atm, but meanwhile, here are some headcanons!
Headcanons - Code Lyoko
Aelita Schaeffer
I headcanon that Aelita's music and dj mixing skills are rooted in her dad playing the piano and teaching her about music.
It also gives her trauma and nightmares, as we've all seen in the canon episodes tho..
And though she's smart and brainy, I don't see her going to read literature books or novels. Idk if that's just me.
I think she finds comfort in information rather than fiction, so maybe she would prefer non-fiction genres.
I also think that Aelita would like butterscotch ice cream. It's cute.
There are days where she has hallucinations and nightmares because of X.A.N.A and Franz Hopper and her past, and she would like nothing more than to listen to music while cuddling with Mister Puck and having butterscotch ice cream.
Also, much like Nicholas, a lot of people find Aelita cute. Adding to her popularity that rose from her DJ skills, she's sure to have a lot of people having crushes on her. But of course, she's only got eyes for Jeremie.
Remember that lookalike of Aelita who got only one episode on the show? Taelia? I headcanon that people in Kadic call them twins, and they eventually become good friends. I think Jim would get very confused and would put Aelita and Taelia in different classes for the sake of his own sanity.
Elizabeth "Sissi" Delmas
Sissi is a child of divorce (I think that's also canon).
I headcanon that her parents had a slightly significant age difference, because Principal Delmas looks vv old. Sissi's mom was four years younger than him -- I headcanon her to be a fashion designer, she was very impulsive and liked to live in the moment, but eventually, the love they had for each other fizzled out and they divorced.
I also think that maybe her mom wasn't what you would call "maternal". She knows this too, and accepted it when Sissi's dad contested for her during the divorce. It doesn't mean that her mom loves her less, though. She's just aware that her father could care for her daughter better than she could, and chooses to love Sissi in her own way.
I think it was mentioned somewhere in the website wiki that Sissi goes on shopping sprees with her mom, so that could be their love language. I also think that Sissi digs her mother's fashion style and did a little tweaks of that to turn it into her own.
I think that, Ulrich was her best friend before, and they bonded over having turbulent family situations. It was natural for her to catch feelings for someone who understood her, and hence she liked Ulrich. When Ulrich rejected her (multiple times), she was put off, but just didn't know how to handle their friendship from that point onward.
Sissi knows how to bandage wounds professionally (canon) and I think it was mentioned that she wanted to become a nurse. I definitely see that as a career for her, once she's matured and grown into her own self.
She's definitely a writer on the side. She would write under the pen name Sissi for sure.
I love Sissi a lot. She's so much more than what's shown on screen. I'd have loved to see her grow into the person she's actually meant to become, after some maturity and heart-to-hearts with Ulrich and her parents, too.
Jeremie Belpois
Jeremie needs naps.
A lot of naps. Poor guy.
Jeremie has definitely read classics. I also headcanon Yumi to like classics and literature, so I think both of them would bond a lot over this.
I also headcanon Jeremie to be comfortable with certain colors only – like, he wears blues and browns and some beige tones – and you wouldn't find colors like pink or yellow in his wardrobe.
Jeremie's cousin is said to look like him, right? And that guy – Patrick, I think – was a brunette and wore black rock aesthetic clothing. I think that both of them actually looked similar when they were kids, and Patrick must've changed his look at some point to have that poofy hair instead. This probably annoyed Jeremie, but now that they're on good terms, he probably teases Patrick about it a lot (and also has baby pictures to prove his point).
I can see how I turned this into Patrick headcanons. Sorry.
Jeremie likes long walks during the night. When he's not working on Lyoko related stuff, and when he's not able to sleep, he walks around at night.
His prized possession(s) is the set of polaroids that he took with Aelita on one of her first nights on Earth. He has them in a safe (and yes, he definitely has a safe that he hasn't told anyone about. Except Aelita.).
Laura Gauthier
Laura made some poor choices in Evolution, but hey, Sissi made poor choices in the original show too! People can always improve, and change.
Laura was brought up in a very strict household, where only the very best was expected from her.
That's why she desperately wanted to show her dad the laboratory at the old factory and say, "See? I'm a part of something big."
Laura has closeted lesbian energy. Evolution kinda made a big rivalry between Aelita and Laura for Jeremie, to see who was his better equal and all, but I think Laura didn't care about that and just liked getting Aelita riled up. I think Laura is more into girls, romantically speaking.
I headcanon that Laura buys clothes from Sissi's mom's fashion brand.
I can see her being a fan of "ceilings" by Lizzy McAlpine.
I think Laura has the potential to be even smarter than Jeremie, even better than him, too. But she lacks some of his empathy. It's not necessarily a bad thing -- just shows how people who are similar are also different.
Adding on to this, Laura might not be very in touch with her emotions, and might come off as unempathetic. She's just misunderstood, but she's not helping her own case.
Like with Sissi, I think she could be so much more, if she matures and grows into her truest self.
Odd Della Robbia
BEFORE I START, LET ME JUST SAY THAT ODD DELLA ROBBIA IS THE BEST FICTIONAL CHARACTER TO EXIST.
I know it's said that Samantha Knight is the person Odd really really loves, but I headcanon Odd to be a no-commitments soul. He enjoys PDA and dates, but he's probably the most comfortable when he's by himself.
He's a top-tier bisexual.
I headcanon that Odd is allergic to cats. His family definitely seems like the type to have cats at home and he's hated it because all he's done is sneeze.
He's the family favourite. I think this is canon too, which is why he was allowed to get Kiwi as a pet. His sisters probably hated that smh.
This might be a personal wish-fulfilment headcanon, but I think Odd didn't learn how to ride a bicycle. He learned the skateboard, but not the bicycle.
He also feels like the kind of person to hate long car rides? He doesn't like sitting in one place for hours.
Odd is really good at remembering birthdays, anniversaries, and special days. Considering how he had to remind Ulrich that Yumi's birthday had passed, this is probably a canon thing.
Ulrich Stern
Ulrich's a rich kid. Canon. He's known Sissi for ages. Canon.
I headcanon that Ulrich and Sissi were on good terms before both of them hit puberty and Sissi kept forcing herself onto him.
Ulrich's best friend was probably Sissi before everything went downhill between them. Then, Odd and the Lyoko warriors happened.
Martial arts are Ulrich's way of communicating with his inner self. Penchaksilat, karate... he's very self-disciplined.
I think that's why he is so attracted to Yumi in the first place. Her being his equal in terms of martial arts would have been very appealing to him.
With reference to Aelita, Ulrich gives big brother energy and Odd gives little brother energy.
Ulrich is probably the most protective of Aelita out of them all. Of course, Jeremie worships her, but Ulrich has the means to fight anyone who messes with his lil sis.
He played with a lot of samurai toys when he was younger.
Ulrich seems to be the type of guy to like haunted houses.
William Dunbar
I LOVE WILLIAM WITH MY HEART AND SOUL, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND—
Well.
William is definitely king of reading classics and books. He gives Yumi a book on poetry in Evolution, right? He loves romance novels and crime thrillers, and probably reads for an hour a day.
When you think about it, William and Ulrich are very similar. Both of them are only childs with wealthy backgrounds, but the difference lies in the fact that William is loved by his parents, while Ulrich's relationship with his own are strained.
William's favorite fruit is orange.
Lyoko gave him a lot of PTSD, but he loves the thrill, and he's still a very honorable man. That's why he comes back.
William and Aelita have an unusual friendship, I think. They can relate to being haunted by X.A.N.A. It's very unfortunate that they have limited interactions in the show and in Evolution too.
I can definitely see William going into the military or the CIA. He gives me those vibes.
ALSO, I think William would probably end up with someone who's way younger than him (maybe 3 years younger) – someone with a lot of vitality and optimism — and probably blonde.
(My OC for William is blonde, but this isn't about me—)
MOVING ON
Yumi Ishiyama
Yumi was brought up in a very traditional household, as we know.
Yumi would be very into Asian literature and classics, as mentioned in Jeremie's section.
Yumi doesn't look like it to most people, but she's the most motherly out of all of them. She's a big sister, and she's had to raise Hiroki when her parents were fighting and they almost divorced and all.
I think Yumi's slightly spiritual too. Not to the extent where she fully believes in prayers and ancient rituals, but she understands the significance of her culture and respects them.
Yumi loves fireworks and shooting stars. I headcanon her as a bit of an astrology freak.
I also think that Yumi is bisexual? Or at least, she's always been curious about it.
I think she's had a curious phase about everything. But once she understands, she has the capacity to evaluate for herself and make right decisions.
A/N: These are just my personal headcanons. I can do more of these, and relationship headcanons or friendship headcanons too, if I get requests, or strokes of inspiration. I hope you like these!

BOOKS.
Alright so. Wow this is just gonna be books. There's everything i read in September, and everything i've read so far in October. i'm not putting all these in the tags. Suffer. ♡
Zhara (Guardians of Dawn #1) by S. Jae-Jones 4/5 - i adored this book, it was so good. It was so anime and i really loved that. Very excited for the next book!
The Vermilion Emporium by Jamie Pacton 1.5/5 - Just... didn't feel this one.
Crown of Moonlight (Court of Midnight and Deception #2) by K.M. Shea 4/5 - Doot doot KU UF? Yesss~
The Spirit Bares Its Teeth by Andrew Joseph White 5/5 (Probable BotY!!) - OH FUCK. This book saw me, saw right into my deep dark dirty secrets and ripped them out into the light and oh shit this was good. i love AJW, i really do, and i'm excited for more!
The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss 5/5 (reread) - Auri is love, Auri is life!
The Queen's Crown (Court of Midnight and Deception #3) by K.M. Shea 4/5 Yep yep yep. This is probably my favorite of the trilogies so far?
Hunted (Pack of Dawn and Destiny #1) by K.M. Shea 3/5 - Fun fun~
United (Pack of Dawn and Destiny #2) by K.M. Shea 3/5 - Book two of a cute grumpy romance~
Together We Rot by Skyla Arndt 2/5 - Argh i wanted so much more from this. >_>
Godkiller (Godkiller #1) by Hannah Kaner 4/5 - AHH! This was so good, i really enjoyed it and i really need the second one!
Monstrous by Jessica Lewis 3/5 - This was pretty decent. It kinda made me crave a second book, but i'm fine without.
What Stalks Among Us by Sarah Hollowell 4/5 - Eek, another book that ripped me open! This was so good, i love it!
Fated (Pack of Dawn and Destiny #3) by K.M. Shea 3/5 - Finish off this trilogy!
Starter Villain by John Scalzi 4.5/5 - The bloody madlad did it again. i love Scalzi, i really do, and this book was no different. It was so much fun and had me yelling multiple times. (And come on, the cover is a cat in a business suit, how do you not love that!)
A Gathering of Shadows (Shades of Magic #2) by V.E. Schwab 3/5 - The very slow progression of my reading of this series. It's aight. Am actually kinda intrigued as to what's coming up next.
Fireborne (The Aurelian Cycle #1) by Rosaria Munda 4/5 - THIS. This is what i wanted Fourth Wing to be!! Very good, very spicy.
I Feed Her to the Beast and the Beast Is Me by Jamison Shea 4/5 - Oh i do love a villain origin story. This was vicious and darkly thrilling and so so beautiful. It had light brushes of romance, strong platonic connections, a deep pool of mystery that reveled in horror and delighted in misdirection, the deep underbelly of ballet, and a young woman tearing her way through it all by teeth and claw and sheer force of will. And a little bit of eldritch horror-y magical machinations thrown in.
Shadow Coven (The Witchery #2) by S. Isabelle 2/5 - This one is sad. i really loved the first one, but oh no this one… had so much bouncing around. So many PoV's so many different places so much happening - it was so hard to keep track of anything. i kinda don't really know what all went on. Overwhelming. But what i could keep track of, i did enjoy quite a bit.
What Became of Magic by Paige Crutcher 3/5 - i have a love/dislike relationship with Paige Crutcher. The Orphan Witch i absolutely adored, it was such a good book, it really hit me in a lot of heart places, i absolutely adore a found family chaos adventure! Then came The Lost Witch which was… bland. Convoluted. Lackluster. Sad. And now we have What Became of Magic. It lands kind of in the middle between the two. Often enough, it hit, and oh did it hit good. But otherwise it was… i found myself skimming to get to the next 'hit'. It was kinda disappointing. Maybe next time, Paige!
Cage of Dreams (City of Nightmares #2) by Rebecca Schaeffer 4/5 - WHAT A GOOD BOOK ahhh what a good duology what a good ending. That ending! How dare. i want more. i crave more. Gimmie!
Hex of the Witch (The Other Witch #1) by Heather G. Harris 4/5 - i love Harris' The Other Realm books, and this one is fantastic. AmberxBastion is my OTP! Can't wait for book 2 next month.
Dire Straits (The Austin Wolves #3) by C.P. Rider 3/5 - i really love this UF KU series, the whole extended universe. It's very good.
Gray Days (Black Hat Bureau #9) by Hailey Edwards 4/5 - i have read and will continue to read everything Hailey Edwards has put out. This book -- THE ENDING uuughhhh how dare, so cruel, so evil! So excited for more!
What i've read through October thus far! - The King's Captive (Gates of Myth and Power #1) by K.M. Shea 3/5 - Book 1 of a pretty good trilogy.
The King's Shadow (Gates of Myth and Power #2) by K.M. Shea 3/5 Doot doot KU UF gogo!
The King's Queen (Gates of Myth and Power #3) by K.M. Shea 3/5 - Alright and now we start the wait for More Magiford Gogo!
Flamefall (The Aurelian Cycle, #2) by Rosaria Munda 2.75/5 - i really struggled with the first, oh, 3/4 of this one. i understand the stakes, but oof, gritty abuse for abuse sake is a lot. i can't wait for Ixion's death, i hope it comes soon into book 3, what a pos i'm very interested to see where book 3 takes me!
Furysong (The Aurelian Cycle, #3) by Rosaria Munda 4/5 - HELL YES! That is how you fuckin' end it, i'm SO thrilled!
Beholder by Ryan La Sala 4.5/5 - This is going to be like, top 3 of the year, imo, this was so so so good, another one that ripped me open. So good. Whew. Loved it.

Time to grab a cup of cocoa and find yourself a spot by the fire, because Schitt’s Creek has frozen over! According to the forecast, the freeze will last for the next 8 days, so get yourself ready for 8 days of delightful winter-themed fanworks!
Want to track what you’ve read? We have a Google Sheet for you. We’ll add each day’s reveals to it. Feel free to use the “make a copy” function to copy the spreadsheet to your own Google Drive (or download it if you want to use different spreadsheet software), and come back each day to copy the new fics into your personal copy.
We'll also be releasing a charity bingo card on the final day of reveals, and will be sharing more information about how that will work as the days go on!
*
DAY 1 REVEALS
Weathering the Storm
[David/Patrick - E - 22,111]
David is... less than pleased to learn the team building retreat is mandatory.
He's even more annoyed when the bus that shows up to take them there looks like it should have been decommissioned in the 70s.
When he learns his roommate for the trip is the accountant who's been bothering him since he joined the company? He doesn't know how he's going to get through this.
Why couldn't Stevie have just faked a broken leg?
*
Mrs Schaeffer's Stationery & Paper Crafts
[David/Patrick - T - 9,405]
David shares a happy memory of winter in New York and Patrick plots to transplant it to Schitt's Creek.
*
On This Winter’s Night With You
[David/Patrick, Stevie & David - T - 6,618]
Stevie corrals David into Somme vulgar, drunken caroling they land at Patrick’s house. That’s all you get. :)
*
something in the way she comes gliding (makes me need to fix up my hair)
[Alexis/Twyla - T - 6,399]
Twyla’s fierce love for competitive hockey only extends to watching and rooting for the Canadiens. As a player, she’ll try hard, sure, but there’s no one in town she really wants to crush in the annual winter league.
Maybe, just maybe, she’d be willing to admit that this year is a little different.
Title borrowed from the appropriately wintry, cold, and Canadian “My Boots” by Lights.
*
Knits by Twyla
[Stevie/Twyla - T - 4,732]
"Did you ever think of selling this stuff?" She nods to the knitting in Twyla's hands instead of ordering anything.
"Oh, I don't think so," Twyla says easily with a shrug, attention still on her project. The needles in her fingers are quick with the stitches and it looks effortless. As Stevie watches, it becomes clear she is knitting a scarf with some kind of plaid pattern. She's reminded of the many scarves Twyla knit during Cabaret rehearsals and wonders if she gives them out to all the underdressed Schitt's Creeks denizens.
--
Twyla keeps gifting Stevie hand-knit winter wear.
*
I Just Want You For My Own
[Alexis/Twyla - T - 4,578]
In an extremely embarrassing turn of events, Alexis tunelessly sings "All I Want for Christmas is You" to Twyla at karaoke, and means it.
*
I'd rather cuddle you than die! That's a compliment!
[David/Patrick - M - 4,064]
Patrick opens his mouth a sliver, but his brain comes up with nothing. David’s hands rest on his biceps, dark eyes gazing intently at him. Patrick swears he saw David’s eyes flick down to his lips and back up, but before he can even consider acting on it, there’s a horrifying crack from outside and the room goes dark.
“Patrick?” David’s voice shakes, his grip like a vice where he still grasps Patrick’s arms.
“I’m here, David. We’re going to be okay. We just lost power."
-----
Two employees of Christmas World (who are totally, definitely not pining for each other) end up trapped together at the store on a snowy Christmas Eve.
*
If I Could Melt Your Heart
[David/Patrick - T - 2,357]
David had just completed the combination spin Ronnie had wanted him to work on, when he registered a low whistle from across the rink. He wobbled for a moment looking around to try to find where the unwelcome interruption had come from. David narrowed his eyes when he spotted someone at the far entrance.
*
Care (package) For Me
[David/Patrick - NR - 2,122]
He couldn't believe that Marcy, that dear kind wonderful mother-in-law of David's, had sent along a winter care package only a few days after David had been complaining to her on the phone about feeling the chill and how he disliked the winter.
*
[podfic] Frozen Fingers
[David/Patrick, Alexis & David - G - 48 min]
Forever cold, David Rose can control winter at the palm of his hands. But can the boy with the sun in his eyes melt David's frozen heart?
*
CREATORS: If your works were released today, please don't forget to update your posting date!

my 5 favorite fics that i’ve written (for fic writer appreciation day)
Thanks for the tag @hippolotamus! 🦛💕
This was actually really easy for a newbie because it’s not like I have so many to choose from 🤔 In chronological order...
An Evolving Palate >> Stevie/OFC (rated M)
Stevie goes to Jake’s for a whisky or whatever, but ends up wine-tasting instead.
Stevie watched David get a little softer when Patrick came into his life. She saw the sharpest edges of his armor smoothed out to make room for someone else to break through them. She secretly admires that he was brave enough to make that leap, and despite how similar they are, she’s wondered before if she could ever do that.
This night of surprises and revelations seems to be suggesting she and David have more in common than she ever realized. So maybe she can follow his lead and muster up a little faith in someone new. Maybe she can take one more risk tonight. Maybe she can chase the unexpected for once, and this woman pressing her against the wall and taking her apart with every grind and slide and squeeze will follow her.
Mrs Schaeffer's Stationery & Paper Crafts >> David/Patrick (rated T)
David shares a happy memory of winter in New York and Patrick plots to transplant it to Schitt's Creek.
David was staring off to the side and Patrick was completely enamored with the beautiful smile on his husband’s face as he recalled the memory. Most of David’s stories from New York weren’t nearly this wholesome or pleasant, so to hear about something that made David so clearly joyful did a lot to soothe the ache those stories had left on Patrick’s own heart.
I'll Kiss You in the Morning >> David/Patrick (rated M)
Patrick explains to David that "I Love You" means never having to say you're sorry for morning breath.
“I love you, too,” he whispers into David’s throat and feels the sharp gasp against his lips. “And I always want to kiss you, David. I’d never stop kissing you, if that was possible. Kissing you is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I want to do it for the rest of my life.”
I Can't Stand the Rain(e) >> David & Jake (rated T)
After beating Sebastien at his own game, David visits another former lover—but gets more than the simple distraction he was looking for.
“You can leave if you need to, but you came here for a reason, right?” Jake raises an eyebrow and David looks away, blushing. “I don’t think that's what you really need, though, and that’s not really my scene.” He continues stroking David’s arms, warming them and soothing the lingering frizzle of raw nerves just under the skin. “But I can still make you feel good, if you let me.”
David takes a deep breath and mentally shakes off his doubts and reservations. Jake isn’t the type of partner David could have built a long-term relationship with, and their fling may have ended awkwardly, but it was amicable and David doesn’t look back on their time together with any kind of regret or bitterness. Jake is a good guy. He can trust Jake with this.
And last but not least... #5 is the next one. Which actually is written, but I can't tell you anything about it because it's part of Passions & Pastimes! But I really like it and I hope everyone else does, too!

Code Lyoko: REvision
I just finished binge watching Code Lyoko on Netflix recently to relive my childhood & forgot how cool of a show it was! While it is an awesome story, some things couldn't stop bugging me that didn't line up. So I revised in a short format the entire series in a way that follows a proper timeline plus what I would've added for the show. I hope y'all like it!

Darrin Patrick, a megachurch pastor, author, and speaker, has died of an apparent “self-inflicted gunshot wound,” according to a statement from his church.
Tumblr media
He had a checkered past, says
Religion News Service (RNS):
In 2016, Patrick… was fired from The Journey [a six-location megachurch in St. Louis he co-founded, TF] for what church officials said was misconduct, including “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and a pattern of sinful conduct, including lying, abuse of power and lack of self-control.
Patrick went through 26 months of “restoration,” which included spiritual and marriage counseling, ultimately resuming his religious work in a new job as a teaching pastor at Seacoast Church, a megachurch in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
A friend of his, Bob Oesch, told RNS during an impromptu remembrance that
… Patrick would often ask people who “lived without God in their lives”: “How’s that working for you?” “And that was a great way of getting people to see the value of putting God in their lives,” Oesch said. “I still call it ‘the Darrin question.’”
“A great way of getting people to see the value of putting God in their lives.” Well, sorry, I beg to differ. The question, if that’s how Patrick phrased it, has an unmistakable edge of judgment and condescension to it. It’s what you might ask a habitual drug user or someone with a chronic anger problem (if you didn’t mind coming off as a bit disagreeable). It’s not nearly the same as the neutral “What made you choose that path?” or “Tell me about the pros and cons of that.” Instead, “How’s that working out for you” is a tidy little bouquet of mild aggression and superiority, with a top note of amusement.
It wouldn’t be couth or kind to posthumously ask the deceased pastor how being a fervent fan of God has worked out for him, so instead I’ll just point out that the scourge of clinical depression hangs heavily over America’s clergy.
There is no lack of statistics about pastors and depression, burnout, health, low pay, spirituality, relationships and longevity — and none of them are good. According to the Schaeffer Institute, 70 percent of pastors constantly fight depression, and 71 percent are burned out. Meanwhile, 72 percent of pastors say they only study the Bible when they are preparing for sermons; 80 percent believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families, and 70 percent say they don’t have a close friend.
The Schaeffer Institute also reports that 80 percent of seminary and Bible school graduates will leave the ministry within five years. It’s not clear how many commit suicide, but it is clear that pastors are not immune to it.
More here.
Our hearts go out to Pastor Patrick’s loved ones — and to all people, in any profession and from any background, who struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts.
If that’s you, you don’t have to go it alone. Help is available.

❄️ DAY 1 - CREATOR REVEALS ❄️
Weathering the Storm by iola17 (@beaiola)
[David/Patrick - E - 22,111]
David is... less than pleased to learn the team building retreat is mandatory.
He's even more annoyed when the bus that shows up to take them there looks like it should have been decommissioned in the 70s.
When he learns his roommate for the trip is the accountant who's been bothering him since he joined the company? He doesn't know how he's going to get through this.
Why couldn't Stevie have just faked a broken leg?

something in the way she comes gliding (makes me need to fix up my hair) by Yellow_Bird_On_Richland (@turningtimeinthetardis)
[Alexis/Twyla - T - 6,399]
Twyla’s fierce love for competitive hockey only extends to watching and rooting for the Canadiens. As a player, she’ll try hard, sure, but there’s no one in town she really wants to crush in the annual winter league.
Maybe, just maybe, she’d be willing to admit that this year is a little different.
Title borrowed from the appropriately wintry, cold, and Canadian “My Boots” by Lights.

Knits by Twyla by edriss (@pretendtofly)
[Stevie/Twyla - T - 4,732]
"Did you ever think of selling this stuff?" She nods to the knitting in Twyla's hands instead of ordering anything.
"Oh, I don't think so," Twyla says easily with a shrug, attention still on her project. The needles in her fingers are quick with the stitches and it looks effortless. As Stevie watches, it becomes clear she is knitting a scarf with some kind of plaid pattern. She's reminded of the many scarves Twyla knit during Cabaret rehearsals and wonders if she gives them out to all the underdressed Schitt's Creeks denizens.

Twyla keeps gifting Stevie hand-knit winter wear.

[David/Patrick - M - 4,064]
Patrick opens his mouth a sliver, but his brain comes up with nothing. David’s hands rest on his biceps, dark eyes gazing intently at him. Patrick swears he saw David’s eyes flick down to his lips and back up, but before he can even consider acting on it, there’s a horrifying crack from outside and the room goes dark.
“Patrick?” David’s voice shakes, his grip like a vice where he still grasps Patrick’s arms.
“I’m here, David. We’re going to be okay. We just lost power."

David had just completed the combination spin Ronnie had wanted him to work on, when he registered a low whistle from across the rink. He wobbled for a moment looking around to try to find where the unwelcome interruption had come from. David narrowed his eyes when he spotted someone at the far entrance.

World AIDS Day – FAM organizes a pletora of operations to raise awareness 
Monday, December 1, 2014, was World AIDS Day, an opportunity for people all over the world to unite in the fight against HIV. The date was designed in 1987 and is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning of those who have died of the disease. The focus this year is « Focus, Partner, Achieve: An AIDS free generation.»
On this occasion and celebrating the 10th anniversary of her association, HSH Princess Stephanie, Founder and President of Fight Aids Monaco (FAM) as well as UNAIDS International Goodwill Ambassador and her team, organized different communication and prevention operations, as well as their traditional fundraising event benefiting their association.
Test in the City
On Monday, November 24, 2014, the operation “Test in the City” marked its 5th year in the Principality in partnership with the Princess Grace Hospital, its Emergency Service, as well as the Monegasque Red Cross. It is an anonymous screening test, free of charge and fast, with results within 10 minutes. In French the kit is known as TROD (Test Depistage rapide a Orientation Diagnostique), equivalent to Rapid HIV Testing in English, and enables to detect anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 antibodies by a simple finger prick, than can easily be carried out by non-medical people who are nevertheless trained in this procedure.
The main objective of this screening is to keep people informed of the latest scientific advances, learn how to protect oneself and others, and most importantly put an end to stigma and discrimination.
Jungle Fight
Radio Monaco hosted a new episode of Jungle Fight on Thursday, November 27, from 17:00 to 19:00hs, with the live participation of Princess Stephanie and Malher. It is the only monthly radio program dedicated to the fight against AIDS that has been running for over 5 years. The broadcast was an excellent opportunity to review the research and campaigns carried out in the fight against AIDS, and help end up discrimination and false ideas about the disease.
AIDS Memorial Quilt
The 4th edition of the AIDS Memory Quilt (Courtepointes in French), is a work of art on canvas, both individual and collective that honors AIDS victims. In 1987 the “Names Project Aids Memorial Quilt” foundation came up with this initiative to illustrate the devastation caused by the disease. Each quilt is made of 8 canvas sewn to each other, over a surface of 4m x 4m, all bearing the name of a victim and they were all produced by people of Fight Aids Monaco, most of them living with HIV. These quilts were exposed in the entrance of the Oceanographic Museum on Friday, November 28. It is a way of saying that victims will never be forgotten.

FAM Charity Auction
With the generous support of Barclays Monaco a new edition of the FAM Charity Auction took place at the Meridien Beach Plaza Hotel on Monday, December 1, 2014 in the presence of HSH Princess Stephanie accompanied by her brother HSH Prince Albert II. Dame Shirley Bassy, Dmitry Rybolovlev (president AS Monaco), and Kenzo Takada were among the many distinguished guests.
Kenzo Takada
Dame Shirley Bassey
There were 58 works of art (sculptures, paintings, photographs, lithographs) generously donated by the artists or collectors, auctioned under the expert hammer of Maitre Francois Tajan from Artcurial. More than Eur 380,000 were raised in this traditional art auction that will enable the association to continue their actions. The truth is that HIV has not been eradicated yet and there is still a vital need to raise money, increase awareness, fight prejudice and improve education.
My husband and I had the pleasure to be seating with our friend Michel Merket and Patrick Schaeffer, Treasurer of FAM, and both men were constantly outbidding each other in acquiring beautiful art pieces, but their main objective was to increase the amount collected that evening. Generosity at its best!

Key HIV Facts from WHO
HIV continues to be a major global public health issue, having claimed more than 39 million lives so far. In 2013, 1.5 [1.4–1.7] million people died from HIV-related causes globally.
There were approximately 35.0 [33.2–37.2] million people living with HIV at the end of 2013 with 2.1 [1.9–2.4] million people becoming newly infected with HIV in 2013 globally.
Sub-Saharan Africa is the most affected region, with 24.7 [23.5–26.1] million people living with HIV in 2013. Also sub-Saharan Africa accounts for almost 70% of the global total of new HIV infections.
HIV infection is usually diagnosed through blood tests detecting the presence or absence of HIV antibodies.
There is no cure for HIV infection. However, effective treatment with antiretroviral (ARV) drugs can control the virus so that people with HIV can enjoy healthy and productive lives.
In 2013, 12.9 million people living with HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) globally, of which 11.7 million were receiving ART in low- and middle-income countries. The 11.7 million people on ART represent 36% [34–38%] of the 32.6 [30.8–34.7] million people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries.
Pediatric coverage is still lagging in low- and middle-income countries. In 2013 less than 1 in 4 children living with HIV had access to ART, compared to over 1 in 3 adults.
We are winning the battle, but it is not over yet! Napoleon well said: “Victory belongs to the most persevering”
