RECENSIONE 4x10

[evermorehqs]

CATCHING MY BREATH, STARING OUT AN OPEN WINDOW

Jesús 'Soos' Ramirez is based on Soos from Gravity Falls. He is a 35 year old human, gift shop handyman, and uses he/him pronouns. He has no powers. Soos is portrayed by Roberto Urbina and he is open.

CATCHING MY DEATH, AND I COULDN’T BE SURE

Soos had a bit of a rough upbringing, but you would know it given the kind of person he is. His mother worked many hours at the Gravity Falls diner, doing everything she could to provide for her son. His father, on the other hand, disappeared as soon as he was born and ran away to New Orleans. Soos never got angry with his father for leaving. He would constantly send postcards telling him about his adventures, and always promised he would come visit soon. Soos held at hope that one day he would see his father again, until his twelfth birthday when his dad sent one final post card — informing Soos he would never be coming home. Even after all these years, Soos has never been able to get over his father abandoning him and even refuses to celebrate his birthday…. though, that day did put him in a position to get a job at the Mystery Shack, where he would work for Stanford Pines over a decade. Soos became one of Stan’s most loyal employees. He never missed a day of work, willing to do anything and everything Stan asked no matter how strange or unimportant it might have seemed. He cared deeply about the business and the Pines family. Soos became incredibly skilled in the art of fixing things, despite his clumsy and goofy nature, and never batted an eye when the Pines twins started coming for the summer and request his assistance on their adventures. He always wanted to be where the action was, and even though he wasn’t book smart, per se, Soos was one of the only ones to believe them about the weird things in town. He was a skeptic with an inquisitive and child-like nature, but it’s what made him such a good sidekick. His unwavering loyalty to the business in the family landed him Evermore when he agreed to accompany Stan when the twins went missing. He immediately settled right in alongside Stan, once again working for him at his new shop that Soos did most of the work repairing. Like he was in Gravity Falls, he is hyper aware of all the strange occurrences and happenings in Evermore… and he isn’t afraid to make sure everyone else in town also knows how weird everything is.

I HAD A FEELING SO PECULIAR

❀ Felix Mendez: Soos admires Felix a lot, and he absolutely loves comparing tools with him, getting his input on what kind of wood is best, talking about fixing things. Soos developed a passion for repair and handywork, and what better friend to have than a fellow fixer? ❀ Benjamin Fuller: Ben is a bit on the quieter side, but Soos doesn’t really mind. He likes showing off all his weird knick-knacks and interests to him and even when the other man doesn’t say much in response, which was often, Soos always liked to know that at least someone was listening. ❀ Paul Mbappe: There is nothing more that Soos loves more than kicking back and housing a pizza with Pumba. There is never any shame between the two of them in inhaling a whole pie, even though Pumba likes to order some… questionable toppings.

THAT THIS PAIN WOULD BE FOR EVERMORE

𝕞𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕠 𝕟𝕒𝕧𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕠

he was born forty-five years ago, is a witch and lives in acacia heights as a physician/alchemist, and is in aquelarre del cuervo coven. he looks an awful lot like roberto urbina.

“Life isn’t easy, no matter where you are. You’ll make choices you think are right, and then suffer for them.”

tw: cult mention, drugs, substance abuse 

For centuries the Navarro family name–in addition to a reputation as founding members of the infamous coven, Aquelarre del Cuervo–has been synonymous in occult circles with one unique discipline: Alchemy.  Attempted by many yet mastered by few, their specialized techniques are closely guarded secrets and have been passed down for generations through the Navarro line.  Though advancements in science have propelled human capabilities into the realm of what once might have been considered ‘magic’, there is still no better means by which to transmute or alter the very building blocks of matter or magic than via the talents of a Navarro Alchemist.  The secret to the Navarro family’s alchemical prodigiousness is the use of enhanced opiates, which serve as magical conductors; amplifying arcane energy far beyond what a single caster might otherwise command.  Patriarch Ramon Navarro realized this, and decided to position his family ahead of the accelerating curve; an adaptive strategy for a changing world.  Pivoting his arcane mercantile into a pharmaceutical company, Cuervo International, he pioneered the modern day fusion of magic and medicine, using alchemical techniques to develop groundbreaking and remarkably effective treatments for an array of mundane human maladies.  The endeavor’s success propelled the Navarro fortune into orbit. 

Marco Navarro was born in Mexico City; the only child of Ramon Navarro’s eldest son, José, and his human wife, Julia.  The two doted upon their son and his upbringing was undeniably privileged, though not without exposure to the realities of the world.  Renown socialites and philanthropists, Marco’s parents often included him in their humanitarian efforts; pouring resources into medical research charities and outreach.  It was through these experiences that Marco discovered his own passion for building a better world, and saw his best path to do so was not as a pharmaceutical executive like his father, but as a doctor.

In conjunction with his family’s arcane instruction, Marco received a world-class traditional education; eventually attending Harvard Medical School in Boston where he pursued internal medicine with a focus in hematology, later returning to Mexico to complete his residency and undertake a research fellowship at his family’s institution.  Enabled by his combined arcane and scientific training, Marco’s vision delved into uncharted territory.  Treading into the gray zone of what constitutes sanctioned practice, he turned his sights away from the alchemical standards of substances and chemicals used to treat illness and disease, and instead onto the potential for alchemy as a more direct vehicle for altering a patient’s physiological state of being: blood magic, in the most literal sense of the term.  Practicing such a taboo discipline has not come without personal cost.  Some on the coven’s high council, and within his own family, have spoken out in disapproval of Marco’s work citing its dangerous implications.  Others are more supportive, and see his refinement of such techniques as a the natural evolution of medicine.  Proponents within the coven further note the applications beyond human healthcare, suggesting possibilities such as superior synthetic blood for vampire consumption, or lunar shift blockers for lycanthropes; perhaps even cures for their conditions.  Detractors consider the value to other species a liability; one which might threaten the Navarro family’s proprietary techniques or the security of the coven at large.  Debate has been fierce, and Marco has been caught in the crossfire; at times pulled at the seams by dangerous, conflicting orders he is not at liberty to disobey.  Aquelarre del Cuervo is as much a cult as a coven, many say, and strict adherence to the council’s edicts is demanded of its members.    

Compelled by his coven’s council to wed the daughter of another wealthy and powerful family in a match chosen for political purposes, Marco spent his youth trapped in a decades long loveless marriage with someone who wanted very different things from life.  Although their union did yield one child–a daughter whom Marco adores and dotes upon endlessly–it was clear that duty and obedience were the only mutual sentiments shared between husband and wife.  Mounting stress both in his professional and personal life at times drove Marco to seek respite through abuse of alchemical opiates; a grim facet of the Navarro legacy.  This further exacerbated the already untenable state of his marriage, and Marco continued to spiral.  On Christmas Day, 2022 he suffered a very public overdose.  It was a family scandal, an international embarrassment for Cuervo International, and the excuse his wife had been long awaiting.  Divorce papers were served while he still lay in a hospital bed recovering.  Under growing pressure from his coven to abandon his research entirely, and with nowhere in Mexico City safe from his family’s judgement and influence, Marco decided he was overdue for a change of scenery.

Embarking on an extended sabbatical from his research fellowship with Cuervo International, Doctor Marco Navarro has relocated to the sleepy Colorado town of Greywood, intent upon re-centering himself and continuing his work in a less politically fraught environment…one where the supernatural is not so veiled in secrecy, nor his personal life so scrutinized.  He purchased an obscene luxury home just on the secluded outskirts of acacia heights in town with a view worth the price tag, where he lives with his familiar; a crow named Magdalena.  There is a separate wing of the house reserved for his daughter, when she can be convinced to come and stay for a while.  Marco is quickly learning that life is very different from what he had been accustomed to here in his new community.  With intentions to get back to basics, he has accepted a position at Greywood General Hospital as an Attending Physician.     

Most who meet Marco Navarro will realize rather promptly that he is a wickedly intelligent man, and he knows it.  If a conversation turns toward an area he’s knowledgeable about, he’ll be sure to let everyone else know it, too.  Though not exactly prone to boasting, it is clear that he’s passionate about his work.  Despite what some might characterize as arrogance in this regard, Marco is a deeply caring and empathetic person. He would help his worst enemy if they needed it, without a moment’s hesitation.  Charismatic by nature, he’s been called a ray of sunshine; quickly warming to even the most unlikely of people.  While he is seldom intentionally impolite, he does tend to be exceedingly blunt and exhibits a decidedly oblivious bourgeois outlook.  Some find it charming, others abrasive.  Compared to the decadence with which he was raised, he now lives a fairly private, if not entirely modest lifestyle; though no one would accuse Marco of cheapness or frugality.  Navarro coffers run deep, and Marco’s doctor’s salary is a pittance compared to his trust fund.  If he wants something, he buys it with the effortless nonchalance of someone who has never had to wonder whether or not there is enough in his bank account to cover the expense.  Even so, he’s a generous sort and prone to altruism and philanthropy.  His background and workaholic tendencies have been isolating in a sense; he is a man of many acquaintances, but few close friends, and since his divorce he considers himself “chronically single” (self-diagnosed).  Those who have become dear to him are doted upon and can expect unwavering loyalty.  

“what power did he attain when settling in greywood?”

None.

Roberto Gerhard y su maestro

[Roberto Gerhard, Arnold Schoenberg y Anton Webern en las Ramblas de Barcelona (1932) / ARNOLD SCHÖNBERG CENTER]

Akal publica un libro con la correspondencia entre Arnold Schoenberg y su gran discípulo español

El 21 de octubre de 1923, Roberto Gerhard escribe desde Valls, en Tarragona, donde había nacido 27 años atrás, a Arnold Schoenberg, por entonces una de las más eximias (y polémicas) figuras de la música europea. En un estado de penoso bloqueo creativo, Gerhard confiesa su depresión anímica y pide al maestro austriaco le brinde la oportunidad de formar parte de su círculo vienés. Aquel fue el inicio de una relación que superaría el mero nexo entre maestro y alumno y que sólo terminaría con la muerte de Schoenberg en 1951.

Akal publica ahora, coincidiendo con el 150 aniversario del nacimiento del creador del dodecafonismo, la correspondencia entre ambos músicos en traducción y edición crítica de Paloma Ortiz-de-Urbina. Son en total 81 documentos (cartas, postales, telegramas), la mayoría en alemán, entre aquella primera de 1923, que el vienés conservaría toda su vida, y una última misiva fechada el 28 de junio de 1965 y dirigida a Gertrud, la viuda de Schoenberg, ya que el volumen recoge las cartas que el compositor español y su esposa vienesa (Leopoldine Feichtegger, Poldi) se cruzaron con Gertrud Schoenberg tras la muerte del esposo.

El material está organizado en cuatro partes. En la primera se recoge la correspondencia (breve, nueve documentos) que entre 1923 y 1924 acabó con Gerhard convirtiéndose en el discípulo español de Schoenberg. La segunda es la que marcó la relación entre ambas familias: por razones de salud, Schoenberg pide en 1930 a Gerhard, recién casado, le busque una casa para pasar una temporada en Barcelona, temporada que acabaría extendiéndose entre octubre de 1931 y mayo de 1932, un tiempo en el que, entre otras cosas, nacería en Barcelona Nuria Schoenberg, que con el tiempo sería la esposa de Luigi Nono. El tercer capítulo se inicia en 1934 con una primera carta de los Schoenberg, recién exiliados, desde Massachussets, y termina con la muerte del maestro vienés en Los Ángeles, cuando Gerhard llevaba ya también más de una década de exilio en Cambridge, donde acabaría nacionalizado británico y moriría. En ese tiempo ambos compositores no llegarían jamás a verse. La cuarta sección recoge la correspondencia de los Gerhard con Gertrud.

Aunque resultan indudable los lazos de amistad que se generaron en Barcelona entre las familias, en la correspondencia se aprecia un grado notable de asimetría. Gerhard escribe siempre como el devoto discípulo y el amigo entregado y preocupado por todo, mientras que Schoenberg, más allá de las fórmulas de cortesía habituales, que, sin duda, traslucen también la buena sintonía entre ambos, recurre al amigo catalán tratando de resolver sus problemas: buscarle casas (con pistas de tenis cercanas), gestionar una prevista gira de conciertos por España en 1932-33 (al final frustrada), encontrar acomodo a su hijo Georg (hijo de su primer matrimonio, con Mathilde Zemlinsky), que sufre en Viena el antisemitismo, terciar con Casals para el estreno de su Concierto para violonchelo (arreglo de una obra de Monn, compositor del XVIII)...

Si bien los dos músicos apenas intercambian comentarios sobre cuestiones profesionales técnicas (con la excepción de una carta de Gerhard) ni tampoco son demasiado profundas las referencias políticas, la situación internacional se filtra en la correspondencia de los años 30, tanto como elementos de la vida musical barcelonesa (y española) de la época, afectada por la crisis económica mundial que llegó también al país. Finalmente, este volumen recoge una parte ínfima de las más de tres mil cartas que se atribuyen al vienés (una selección fue publicada ya en español por Turner hace décadas) y ayuda a conocer algunos hechos de la vida y el trabajo de ambos compositores y a entender claves de su relación con España.

AMC Picks Up "Snowpiercer" for Season 4

AMC has reportedly picked up the 4th season of the former TNT series “Snowpiercer!” The show's first three seasons will hit the AMC+ streaming service later this year, with season 4 due to bow in early 2025. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel and the 2013 film of the same name, "Snowpiercer" has captivated audiences with its gripping storyline, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. Set aboard a perpetually moving train that circles the globe after a cataclysmic event has frozen the Earth, the show explores issues of class struggle, social injustice, and survival in a harsh, dystopian world. “We’re so thrilled the train has finally found a home, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone at AMC and Tomorrow Studios for giving the fans of Snowpiercer a chance to enjoy season four with all the hard work this amazing cast and crew put into it,” showrunner Paul Zbyszewski said. The series was originally developed for TNN before TNT picked it up. Scott Derrickson, who directed “Doctor Strange” for Marvel Studios and 2021’s hit “The Black Phone,” was set to show run and direct before parting ways with the project. It’s been a bumpy track for the show, based on Bong Joon-ho‘s 2013 film, which was based on the graphic novel “Le Transperceneige” by Jacques Lob, Benjamin Legrand, and Jean-Marc Rochette. “Snowpiercer” the series stars Jennifer Connelly, Daveed Diggs, Sean Bean, Rowan Blanchard, Alison Wright, Mickey Sumner, Iddo Goldberg, Katie McGuinness, Lena Hall, Sam Otto, Chelsea Harris, Mike O’Malley, Roberto Urbina, and Sheila Vand. New cast members for season 4 include Clark Gregg and Michael Aronov. “Snowpiercer is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride with a loyal fanbase – similar to the passionate fandoms we serve across our biggest franchise series – and a welcome addition to AMC and AMC+,” Ben Davis, EVP of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, said. “We look forward to allowing viewers to binge the first three seasons later this year, in anticipation of the arrival of a remarkable fourth season helmed by Paul Zbyszewski and this stellar cast, which will premiere in 2025.”
