Charles’s Angel(s)

Ch.23

Charles Leclerc x Reader

Author’s Note: Shit is starting to get a little warm in this little hotel room…

You get in bed and Charles joins you shortly. “You never told me you spoke another language at home”, he says after getting situated. 

“It never came up”, you shrug.

“What language was that? It sounded so sweet.”

Warm pride for your mother tongue spreads through you. “That was Bengali, or as we call it, Bangla.”

“Will you teach me some?”, he asks.

Nodding, you set your phone on the nightstand and pull the covers up.

After recounting the days events, you both drift off to dreamland, basking in each other’s warmth.

…

Charles is on the phone the next morning, rapidly exchanging frustrated words in french. You decide to stay in bed to not interrupt. 

He cuts the call and set the phone down with a sigh. “So what’s got you so upset this morning?”, you ask. He flinches and turns. 

“Ah, mon ange, you are awake. Did I disturb your sleep?”

“No, I just woke up, didn’t even hear what you were saying on the phone.”

He sighs and sits at the edge of the bed, head in his hands. Concerned, you crawl out of the covers and wrap your arms around him, head resting between his shoulder blades. 

“I have a race in LA in a couple of weeks, which means I’ll have to be there for the next two weeks after that for press and media. I told them that I won’t stay the extra week unless they allow you to travel with me.”

You sit up now, touched by his consideration. Grabbing his face in both hands and straddling his lap, you gaze into his eyes. 

“You did that… for me?”, you whisper.

His arms come up to brush your hair from your eyes, eyes crinkling into the crows feet that make him all the more handsome. “Of course, amour. I told you when this began that I’d try to be wherever you are, but it works both ways, no? And now that I’ve had a taste of life with you… I can’t imagine going anywhere without you.”

Unable to contain your emotions, you pull his face to yours, kissing him passionately, conveying your expressions through your lips. He pulls you closer into him, hands in your hair, your thighs, your waist, gosh he was everywhere.

You pull away briefly. “You make me crazy”, you murmur against his soft lips.

“You make me insane”. He brings your hand up to where his heart lies. You feel the quick pulsing tempo of the organ. “This heart of mine, is beating for you now, mon coeur.”

You blush. “I bet you’ve said that to all your girlfriends”. And then you’re being rolled over, his weight on top of you, lips crushed on yours. Unable to resist, you retaliate with the same passion. 

And then, you feel his hand creep up to your throat, wrapped around it ever so slightly, his thumb running over the skin. You moan, and he takes it as a sign to apply the gentlest pressure. You whimper into his mouth, arching up into his body. 

Charles grins against your mouth. “Do you like being choked, ange?” When he feels you clench your thighs around his waist, he get his answer. Leaning and brushing your lips with his, teasing you, leaving you to chase his lips, he whispers, “I see that you’re not so innocent after all.”

You whine into his mouth, craving the warmth again, and he decides to tke pity and finally give you what you want. Eagerly, you take what his gives you, molding your lips against his, lips against lips, teeth against teeth, hearts beating as one. 

He pulls apart, leaving you to catch your breathe. “I don’t want you to ever think you are one bit comparable to my past partners. Understand?”

Nodding, you curl up into him. “Do you want to travel up to my hometown while we’re in California? It’s an 8 hour drive from LA and I can get us there.”

“I’ll have to check with my manager, but it should be fine.”

“I’m so excited to give you a tour of the state.”

Basking in the moment for a bit, you zone out, until Charles is tapping your hip. “Alright, up you go to work now, Missy. You’ve had enough time to laze around.”

Pouting you get up and freshen up.

English translation of Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo/This world can't tear me down's opening song:

Seafarers who go

Wherever they want, but not here¹

To steal my job in this jungle

And crushing my dream, which was to

open a bangla²

A bangla

It's fine if you remain here

But come on, stop talking to me about dignity

We bury waste where flowers grow³

(You're paid) €1.50 an hour and then you die⁴

But (do it) outside

Go die out there, 'cause here you're

You're in a wonderful country

This is a wonderful country

Wonderful

Wonderful

Seafarers who go

Wherever they want, but not here

To steal my job in this jungle

And crushing my dream of opening a bangla

A bangla

It's fine if you remain here

If you're running from a war, sure, but it must be a truly major one⁵

Nobody gives a damn about your shitty degree

It's just that your skin tone's a little too dark⁶

Dark for this place, for you're

You're in a wonderful country

This is a wonderful country

Wonderful

Bridges collapse⁷, ships sink⁸

But come on, it's all wonderful, as long as it doesn't happen to you

Students die, ministers speak⁹

This flavour of evil, can't you taste it too?¹⁰

This flavour of evil, can't you taste it too?

Factories explode¹¹, houses collapse¹²

But come on, it's all wonderful, as long as it doesn't happen to you

Rights die, ministers applaud¹³

This flavour of evil, can't you taste it too?

This flavour of evil, can't you taste it too?

Can't you taste it too?

1: Reference to Umberto Tozzi and Raf's 1987 song Gente di Mare ("Seafarers"). Most "illegal" immigrants reach Italy by sea through boats or rafts

2: Slang term for a mini-market owned by south asian immigrants. Also, "they steal our jobs", opposition to immigration 101 all across the board

3: Illegal waste burial is a really common practice in Italy

4: Exploitation of immigrants and their labour

5: Although anti-refugees sentiment is still strong, undeniably ukrainian refugees are more easily "accepted" than others due to both racism and to how close the russo-ukranian war is to Italy itself

6: Although this happened too recently for it to have been the inspiration for this line (which nevertheless expresses a commonly held belief), it should be known that just last May three ghanaian collaborators of Lesley Lokko who were supposed to be with her for the Venice Biennale cultural exhibition were denied entry into Itay. While details weren't made public, Lokko was allegedly accused of trying to bring "non-essential young men" into the country

7: Reference to the collapse of the Morandi Bridge in 2018. 43 people lost their lives

8: Reference to the Costa Concordia disaster of 2012. 33 people lost their lives

9: Suicides are becoming ever more common for a number of reasons, especially among university students. Giuseppe Valditara, the current Minister of Education, maintains that humiliation is a "factor for growth"

10: Likely a reference to Gino Paoli's 1956 song Sapore di sale ("Flavour of salt / Salty flavour")

11: Possibly a reference to the explosion of the Thyssenkrupp steel mill in Turin, 2007. It may be a broader allusion to workplace accidents and death. 2022 alone saw 1090 victims

12: Illegal construction is extremely common. Just last November 12 people died in Ischia due to a landslide. Hydrogeological instability is overall high in all of Italy

13: Amongst its objectives, the draft bill Ddl Zan aimed to criminalise hate crimes specifically motivated by homotransphobia, misogyny, and ableism. The Senate "killed" it on 27/10/2021, with the cheering and clapping of its detractors

I saw your post about songs that fuck with your brain chemistry -- any recommendations...? 👀

Yes ill always recommend hindi and bangla songs 💥💥💥

Hindi —

literally anything by r.d. burman honestly, but i remember the main ones i absolutely loved when i was smaller (i had awesome taste in music. Trust) — kya hua tera vada, gulabi akhen (please please listen to this one please pleas eplease), tere bina zindagi se (this is meh but like. i was obsessed with it so.), chura liya hai tumne jo dil ko (also please please please listen to this i love this so much forveee), meri bheegi bheegi si, dilbar mere

I'm not sure if these are by rd burman as well but FUCK these are so good 💥💥💥 — salame-ishq meri jaan, o saathi re (i prefer asha's ver, but kishore kumar is awesome too), khaike paan banaras wala, pal pal dil ke pas (my brother liked this more than me), yeh dosti, dum maro dum, phulo ka taro, pairody song (specifically look up mr india pairody song literal banger im telling you), hawa hawaii

Another paragraph break so it's easy for me — yeh mera dil yaar ka diwana, beqarar karke hamen yun na jaiye, mehbooba mehbooba (there's a new one but the SUCKS . Trust . Meh booba sholay, also by rd burman), bach ke rehna re baba, jhoomka gira re (theres a new version called kya jhumka and that sucks okay), kiki ki muskurahaton pe, jaane woh jaise log the, aa chal ke tujhe mei leke chalu

comparatively more recent — ik bagal, ranaji, azadi (im pretty sure there are many songs with this name, so specifically azadi gully boy 👍👍), namak, beedi, panga, mehboob mere, ghoomar, pinga, train song (also from gully boy), kab se kab tak, jahaan to chala, chikni chameli (this changed lives . Trust), nagada sang dhol baje, zoobi doobi

Also ANYTHING gulzar wrote, FUCKING banger

Bangla —

ANYTHING MANNA DEY SANG . ALSO SUMAN . Um i always thought it was suman chaterjee but apparently it's suman chattopadhyay . but also i have favourites so :))) — se amar choto bon, coffee houser sei addata aaj aar nei, hoyto tomari janya (most of these are my brother's recs because i listen to bangla songs less than he does), ghurche chaka, amader jonyo, pagol, haal chherona bondhu, petkati chandiyal, bose aanko

^ sent by my brother

ALSO EVERYTHING BY TAGORE . RABINDRANATH TAGORE . SO AWESOME — jodi tor daak shune keo na ashe (also called ekla cholo re), ami banglay gaan gai, hridmajhare rakhbo, fagunero mohonay, neel digante oi phuler agun, gram chara oi ranga matir poth, ore bhai phagun legeche bone bone, amra shobai raja, projapoti projapoti (this is a children's song but it's good and you will listen to it.), phagun hawaye hawaye,

not rabindrasangeet (what we call tagore's songs) — gouri elo dekhe jalo, majhi tor radio nai, not bengali (it's assamese) but SUCH a banger — kapili kapili

I have more songs but i forgor

For the ask game: how's your spice tolerance? I know we're both Bengalis but,,,,, bangalis just be eating more spice than ghotis 👁️👁️

(pls recreate fake ghoti-bangali drama with me life is so boring these days)

AHAHAHAH my spice tolerance varies tbh. Bangals eat more spice because you guys don't have taste buds <3333 😘😘😘 /j /lh

No because after saraswati puja one year my dida made gota chorchori (I don't know if that's a specifically ghoti thing or if bangals do it too) and I was eating it like anything, and my dida gave me a weird look like, how are you eating it this fast, and I was like ??? and then she told me she put six chillis in it

But just three days ago my mother made some curry (I think echor but not sure) and put One Spoon Of Kashmiri Mirch and I, like the baby that I am, just about died

(👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️ would love to recreate the drama, amar ei aar ek soptaho tarpor kichhu korar nei. Zee Bangla r porjaye niye jabo)

Village tour experience in Bangladesh:

Who does not like the quiet atmosphere of the village after the busy city life. Mud roads, green fields full of crops, mud houses add another dimension to the village look. Today's presentation is about the experience of visiting such a village

Village Tour Plan:

 I sometimes travel to different villages to taste a bit of freedom from this busy city life. Sometimes the village is part of the remote areas of Bangladesh and sometimes it is the different Pahari areas of Bangladesh.

As a result of traveling for so long, I have come to understand that, although the villages of each place have their own traditions, culture and lifestyle, villages are unique and unique in one respect. That is the uncomplicated mindset and the genuine kindness of nature. One thing to be noted is that like many other people of Dhaka, my family roots are rooted in the village.

 The mind was also very tired of the hustle and bustle of urban life. So, I decided to travel to that small village Tarutia during the last Eid holiday.

Sirajganj is not very far from Dhaka travel route. Soon after the train left Dhaka city, the scenery on both sides began to change gradually. Once the familiar urban signs gradually disappeared, the green nature caught the eye.

First Day at Village House:

As soon as I reached the village, I noticed that the scenery here is more beautiful. Fields of various crops are scattered here and there. And the dense forest can be seen from a distance. After enjoying the sweetness of nature, I reached my village home in no time. I really felt the pull of my soul with them in that absolute hospitality.

I saw a unique form of nature in rural Bengal. Everywhere you look in rural Bengal, there is an abundance of greenery. The winding roads of the village fascinate us deeply. The immense softness in rural Bengal makes us fall in love with the village. no So the people of the city rush to our village Bangla for some leisure time. It is not counted how many poets and literary writers have written poems impressed by this sweet form of rural Bengal.

Finally:

 I returned to my very familiar city life after spending several days in such a beautiful environment surrounded by free nature. I brought with me a whole lifetime of memories, and I left behind all the pride and hearty love of my urban life.

After returning, it was a bit uncomfortable to adapt to the busy life of the city for a few days. I decided to go back to my beloved village very soon to smell the earth near the bosom of nature. Until then, this experience of traveling to the village of Bangladesh will remain intact in my memory.

INDIES TOP 136 FILMS OF SOUTH ASIAN CINEMA’S 2 GREATEST ACTRESSES - MEENA KUMARI (77 FILMS) & SUCHITRA SEN (59 FILMS) !

A separate Indie playlist, to honour the 2 most popular, highest acclaimed, & widely regarded greatest of all actresses, of the entire Indian & South Asian diaspora – Meena Kumari & Suchitra Sen ! 2 very different actresses in style & school, yet that imbibed the same core depth & ability to penetrate audience imagination & leave them blessed with new vibrant spirit & higher ethos, & even greater admiration for the feminine energy in art. That combined with their eclectic body of work encompassing, one imagines an entire spectrum of female art & life in society at it’s very finest. And even where Hindi audiences at Indies may’ve had a fair taste of Meena jis’s work already, from the various decades lists on Indies Yt page, a great time to view it all in never-before singular artist-based perspective, as well as get enlightened on, in Indie reckoning, the 2nd greatest screen-pair of Indian cinema, Uttam Kumar & Suchitra Sen, the eternal royalty of Bangla cinema for no lesser than 3/4th century, a screen-pair that single-handedly redefined Bangla cinema & raised it to the highest respect & hysterical adulation back in 1950s & 1960s, amassing a veritable treasure house of ‘soul cinema’, a diamond era in Bengali motion art, that saw them competing for highest accolades with no lesser than Satyajit Ray’s brand of ‘life-defining movies’, a divine screen-pairing with Uttam that btw forms nearly 3/4th of Suchitra ji’s life work too. Watch the greatest, in their finest!

Inspo Photos

I know, I know. These are not taken by a seasoned photographer please excuse how hideous they look. Please, I urge you to forgive me but there is reasoning behind them.

These 4 photos, I chose to capture these moments because it shows slight contrast. Actually this contrast may be difficult to spot without knowing what you are looking for. The contrast is within each individual image itself, you must look at each image separately. For example, the vegetables in the pan. What I see is a mix of broccoli, carrots and cauliflower, it kind of made me giggle because I got used to seeing these three veggies together in nearly every 'white' dish ever and to just see it fried instead of boiled and with onions instead of a single piece of salt and pepper fish was humorous to me. By the way that was the only time I've eaten all the veggies on my plate, I never knew they tasted so good when they weren't just boiled with water and relied on two grains of salt to properly flavour them. I felt almost proud. The culture of my ancestors and family before me were blessed with the skill of cooking delicious flavourful food. Flavourful yet quite literally detrimental to my health. Actually it is common for South Asians to experience high cholesterol and it's all down to out oil consumption, so much oil is used in our dishes it's crazy. Anyway, besides the point, it was just the fact that these three vegetables that, to me at least, seem so British could be turned into such a dish. I don't know what it's called in English, but in Bangla these kind of dishes are called 'bazis', pronounced as ba-zees, it's like when vegetables are fried with onions and range of spices. It gave a new meaning to these vegetables. I liked the sort of collaboration between these 'British' veg and Asian style cooking, I was amused yet also quite enlightened possibly, as in like it's a perfect reflection of how I'm living, I've somehow made a collaboration of these two cultures and it even shows in the food I eat. This sort of unexpected and odd mix of cultures is something I wish to portray in my final outcome and I really hope this idea can be portrayed to the viewer as accurately as I can.
