fortysomething years ago, a man named godwin enfield decided, in a show of breathtaking ego, to adopt a bunch of children and train them to be ruthless killers. it did not work out well; while enfield's physical training was exceptional, he did not care for the emotional and developmental needs of his adoptive children, and they turned out... not so well. this was in part the cause of a few deaths, and more than a few catastrophic fights. only three enfields remain in contact today: andromeda, beatrice, and dimitri, the last of which took it upon himself to continue his father's legacy with a new batch of children. although he's certainly trying to be better than his father was, dimitri's kids haven't exactly grown up to be very stable themselves. at least he didn't insist they all take his last name.

muses

dimitri enfield, 45, he/him, hugh dancy the only remaining enfield sibling interested in continuing his father's legacy. a significant leg injury when he was 25 rendered him basically useless in fights; he's still a crack shot, though. a decent father figure, but not responsible enough to handle the messes he creates.

andromeda vidal enfield, 37, she/her, caroline dhavernas / rebecca ferguson possibly the most well-adjusted enfield sibling. after she left her father's estate, she joined the service; now she's off active duty and remains a handler at quantico. married, then divorced, a man she worked with. she doesn't approve of dimitri's project, but still harbours a lot of affection for him, and enjoys spending time with his kids.

beatrice enfield, 43, she/her, morena baccarin unstable kinda evil wine aunt. nobody really knows what it is she does and she's quick to shut down any attempts to find out. she probably likes dimitri and his kids, but she also thinks throwing unexpected knives to test their reflexes is fun, so it's anyone's guess.

rohan ojha, 30, he/him, dev patel one of dimitri's first children. he sees himself as the older brother who should look after his siblings, but is beginning to realise the limits of his father's ability, and by extension his own. the model grumpy protective assassin old man enfield would have loved. does not get on well with his brother ash.

ash dizon, 31, he/him, manny jacinto one of dimitri's first children. tough to train as a kid; the trouble he caused nearly led dimitri to shut the programme down before it got off the ground. quit to be a boxer. has a soft spot for the younger ones, and loves to push rohan's buttons.

isa yousry, 32, she/her, may calamawy successful graduate of dimitri's programme. something of a passionate bleeding heart but very aggressive about her cause too. lawyer by day, vigilante by night. she is clearly their father's favourite, and her brothers do not begrudge her this role.

kyrie pierce, 26, she/her & emerson pierce, 26, she/he/they, maika monroe twins who absolutely do not get along. emerson is older, callous and dismissive. he ran away to join a criminal gang at 18, returning after 3 years. kyrie is charismatic and calculative, and often acts as her siblings' lure; she always cries while cleaning up the blood.

mitzi morino, 21, she/her, devyn nekoda their guy in the chair. she knows the ins and outs of any place with a working digital system, and enjoys delivering a running commentary in her siblings' ears as she watches them go about their job through the cameras. not even one of dimitri's kids; she figured their situation out and hunted the enfields down when she was 13.

river mccourt, 27, he/him, barry keoghan / paul mescal the other guy in the chair. he likes analysing fight styles and coming up with strategies, not that anyone ever takes his advice. wanted to be out in the field too, but he gets too stuck in his own head to be a good fighter.

sadie almira, 22, they/she, lizeth selene deeply awkward with expressing genuine emotions, but mean comments come easy to them. a great actor, though; they're always the one sent in for infiltration and reconnaissance. an amazing baker.

writer's notes

yeah so this is my umbrella academy take. second generation for more trauma babey! i didn't wanna mess with superpowers this time so i worked with assassins; equally lethal, less supernatural, less ethically inclined. was this incredibly ambitious? yes! was it also fun to do? absolutely.

i made this verse in a way that leaves space for a lot of other characters of either generation, and i would LOVE to have affiliates with it! (mutuals only please)

some fcs i would really like to see in this verse: jacob anderson, charlie cox, emma d'arcy, courtney eaton, colin farrell, gong yoo, kathryn hahn, boyd holbrook, oscar isaac, devery jacobs, lee dong-wook, matilda lutz, cristin milioti, murakami nijiro, keke palmer, rosamund pike, sebastian stan, dan stevens, aaron taylor-johnson, umbrella academy faces, hannibal faces

i'm playing fast and loose with ages here. the older kids probably see dimitri less as a dad and more of an older brother; he did legally have custody of them at some point (except mitzi) so he's technically dad to everyone

i just KNOW beatrice calls him mimi to press his buttons

isa is clearly the favourite but rohan and ash have some sort of a complex going on between them when it comes to dimitri. he sees rohan as compensation for his own failings to his father, while all ash can see are dimitri's failures as a parent. yes rohan does fight big and heavy and ash fights fast and wiry. why do you ask?

yeah isa is just daredevil. i'm being derivative

andromeda is recycled from an existing muse that wasn't really going anywhere

the first gen muses are probably more secondary but i wanted to have a glimpse into that world too, like, what would it be like to be incredibly talented but also deeply damaged from being parented purely to develop that talent? and how would one function as an adult?

while i was casting this i realised how i don't really like fcs that are only from sitcom-type shows / pure drama series because they don't have a range of motion and the framing is boring... lizeth selene is on thin ice for this but i really like their look

as usual assume all muses are queer unless stated otherwise. if anyone had to be straight it would probably be isa but that's boring.

Più interessato a porre domande che a trovare risposte, in Teoria Crip Robert McRuer sceglie una strada pericolosa, determinato a scuotere il sistema dalle fondamenta.

Analisi sulla disabilità e sulla queerness ormai sono al centro del dibattito in ogni società. Entrambi i campi di studio si occupano d’altra parte di corpi, piaceri e identità, eppure il modo in cui questi due ambiti disciplinari si intrecciano e si scambiano informazioni è ancora tutto da scoprire.

"If you want to study, I'm not going to stop you."

Marlene glanced over to Mary, flicking through a muggle magazine.

Marlene shrugged, "I guess I could take a break", she closed her book.

Mary smiled, patting a spot on the bed next to her. Marlene came over.

"How about this?" Mary pointed to a dress Marie Helvin was wearing.

"It's nice?"

Mary laughed, "Nice?"

"I don't know", Marlene huffed, "You'd look in anything."

"Oh yeah?" She quirked a brow.

"Yeah."

Mary smiled and closed the magazine, "I'll wait for Emmeline... why don't we do something else?"

"Like what?" Marlene inched slightly closer to her friend.

Mary winked, "Grab your book, I'll quiz you!"

"Oh."

"What you don't wanna study anymore?"

"No, no. It's fine. Let's do it", Marlene lifted herself off the bed and made her way over to the desk.

"Great", Mary clapped, "Oh, I'll just grab my quill, I left it in the common room."

As Mary shut the door behind her, Marlene sighed and jumped down onto her own bed.

The bathroom door opened and Lily came out, a towel wrapped around her, "What's up with you?"

"Mary."

"Ah", Lily nodded, knowingly, "Good luck with that."

Make me a poet: eat my heart

“In chapter III of Dante's Vita Nuova the poet returns to his home "overcome with ecstasy" at having been greeted, for the first time as an adult, by his beloved Beatrice. His joy is short-lived, however, since he is soon upset by a "marvelous vision" that appears to him in his sleep. A figure who identifies himself as Dante's "master" holds a woman, naked except for a crimson cloth, in his arms. The figure holds a "fiery object" in his hands, telling Dante, "Behold your heart." The figure then holds Dante's heart up to the woman, who proves to be Beatrice, and makes her eat it from his hands. After a short while the figure begins weeping bitterly, and weeping, he folds his arms over the woman and together they ascend towards the heavens. At this point Dante awakes, and is inspired to write a sonnet addressed to "all Love's faithful subjects" in which he requests help in interpreting his vision.

“Rossi traces the various responses Dante received from those who had read the poem. Cino da Pistoia saw the heart as representing Dante's love, and the act of eating the heart as representative of his beloved's growing awareness of his feelings. However, he ignored the sense of horror that the vision evoked in Dante, as well as the bitter sadness with which it ended. In the first part of his response, Guido Cavalcanti emphasized the state of Grace provoked in Dante by the ecstasy of his love. The bitter weeping, he believed, resulted from the fact that falling in love was, on the lady's part, a sorrowful event, or perhaps a prelude to her death. Later, Cavalcanti suggested perhaps that eating the heart could be an antidote against death (vv. 9-11):

Di voi lo core ne portò, veggendo

che vostra donna la morte chedea;

nodrilla de lo cor, di ciò temendo.

“According to Rossi, the vision of Beatrice eating Dante's heart, confined as it is to the level of dream, serves to sanctify their love (even if Beatrice initially resists it) and to unite their hearts, consequently transforming Dante, the "amante gentile", into a poet. Dante goes beyond metaphor into the realm of the symbolic. The renunciation of earthy gratification, represented by Beatrice's ascent after having eaten his heart, is a necessary antecedent to his acquisition of the poetic word and the exemplary pilgrimage that was to result from it. The vision was, in Rossi's opinion, a stopping point on a more complete voyage towards the truth: "al di là dello speculum egli aspira infatti al rapporto facie ad faciem; al di là dell' 'essemplo' egli vuole arrivare a vedere la 'bellissima figura' del Cristo". Thus, for Dante the eaten heart motif is taken up to portray a symbolic sacrifice that anticipates his poetic initiation. The experience of a Reality beyond the senses, previously deemed impossible unless evoked through mystic inspiration, can now be realized, through the force of the intellect, in poetic language.”

Umineko - question arcs playthrough -> ep 1 - 7

last part - All parts and episodes - next part

If i continue like this i might en up needing to make a master list with all the links, cause apparently there's a limit to how many links and photos you can have in one post. Oh well, an issue for future me.

The witch! It's the witch! They're real and very witchy!! Death to non-believers!!

Ok but a non-witch theory, hmm it wouldn't be impossible for someone to fake all of these, at least for now it's pretty simple. And the butterflies could be just a trick of light. But eh, it's more fun to think that witches exist now, isn't it?

Betting on them discovering a body or something like that.

Dead dead DEAD D E A D.

The perfect stuck together with a body mystery, am I right? Can't get out of the island, no contact with the outside. Reminds me of that one Agatha Christie play (and i do know this is a very common theme in her works but this is the one i saw) The Mousetrap. Very fun.

Hell yeah, erasing the evidence. Gonna help the mystery for sure.

oooh la la, 2 with one stone, not like i am complaining! But unfortunately i do know that he will live so yeah. All else i know is that George, Jessica, Kanon and Sayo live at least until answers arc, Rosa at least until ch2 where she pulls out a gun(????) and Beatrice and Battler the entire game. yeah, that's kind of it.

ok wait a second let's think. This makes...5 people.

... so prob someone else is also missing which would make 6. Huh so this is...the start of the witch's epitath huh. And i assume the two who are close are Sayo and George. We also know at least 5 people will be left alive after the 3rd night. Interesting.

Natsuhi Entered Kinzo's study and he basically said she's an Ushiromya in her heart, and he's so right. She does everything for this damned family, while the siblings all try to tear it apart. You might be insane and probably evil Kinzo, but this one was right. Even a broken clock is right twice a day or something.

Still waiting for the toxic yuri + hate sex between these two. Bet it exists.

yep, knew it. Well there goes the 6th one. Now as I have mentioned, i know they aren't dead but i am curious over where they are and what will happen to them

wait huh did they find their bodies?? one body? someone's body, or at least someone gravely hurt??

I was about to say that I hope Maria doesn't join them. Good cause i doubt it will be a pleasant sight.

Ooook.... I don't know if i should say i expected this or not. Like on one hand i did, on another i didn't. So they'll come back but...how? I am sure they will, at least some of them but again...how??? Love Jessica's voice acting tho.

Back with the bold text, and yeaa... yea. Poor battler, i genuinely feel so bad for him. And i wonder how Maria will react, thank god she didn't come.

Also thought, but was Natsuhi supposed to be one of the victims, but because of the charm she was saved? And mayhap Gohda was taken instead of her? Just an idea. Also the tips represent how much their faces were fucked up, good to know. And also probably where they were originally stabbed, looking at the other red dots. Quite small tho...

Gosh this is so depressing... Poor George, poor Jessica, poor Battler, poor Maria POOR EVERYONE.

THAT'S THE KEY! The key that chose them! I think at least, because it seems like a pretty unimportant detail to press so much on, and especially draw like this.

So basically after this Kumasawa comes and cries about blood in the dining room, and after a bit of investigation they conclude that that must be the crime scene. They all leave with a bitter taste in their mouth. And after that the most unexpected thing happens (sarcastic)

yeppp....no one expected this.

I wonder if the typhoon will last longer, as for all of the days said in the epitaph to happen. I mean it would be a bit anticlimactic if the police just arrived and they're all escorted.

Anyways just realized i talked a lot here and i should've probably cut it up at the end of last chapter ooopsss. See you next post ;P

She retired from the stage early in 1957. She is certainly of those who should be classified as a dramatic soprano with agility.

A Stork Beneath London Bridge

A Stork Beneath London Bridge https://ift.tt/czNMAEF by MarvelMerlin Henry was supposed to be enjoying his first fully American Thanksgiving, filled with first hand witnessing of the Turkey Horrors and strangely sweet vegetable dishes. But in a single whispered phrase the world turns immaterial, Alex is his only anchoring point, and the black suit carefully packed over every single trip is being laid out on the pretty pink bedspread.

☆ 𝑮𝒖𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆:

Beatrice Hawke, fata di rara bellezza e potere, proviene dal pianeta di Eros, dove amore e lusso dominano la vita. Cresciuta nell'eleganza e nel fascino, ha sempre ottenuto ciò che voleva senza fatica, sfruttando il suo aspetto e il suo carisma. Ma quando capisce che la sua bellezza non basta per diventare una delle fate più potenti, decide di studiare seriamente magia ad Alphea, l'accademia per fate straordinarie. Qui abbandona la superficialità, ma non rinuncia ai suoi vizi. Determinata a essere ricordata per la sua grandezza, la sua avventura è appena cominciata.

𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆:

Beatrice Nerissa Hawke, nata su Eros, un pianeta dove l’amore regna sovrano, è figlia della famiglia reale di Eros, famosa per il suo potere dell'amore e il dominio della moda. E' la discendente di Anne, ex-regina di Eros. Cresciuta nel lusso, circondata da abiti e gioielli, Beatrice non si accontenta della fama ereditata, ma sogna di costruire un nome tutto suo. Con il suo carisma naturale e talento nella moda, diventa una delle influencer più seguite di Eros, fondendo eleganza e audacia. Le sue collaborazioni con altre magiche celebrità e la sua presenza sui social sono leggendarie. Dietro l’immagine perfetta, però, Beatrice nasconde un sogno più grande: unire la bellezza esteriore e il potere interiore per cambiare il mondo. Con la sua carriera da influencer e il marchio della sua famiglia, Hawke Couture, è ormai un simbolo di lusso e magia, mentre continua a ispirare milioni, dimostrando che l’amore può davvero trasformare tutto.

𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚:

Beatrice ha una personalità complessa, che mescola simpatia e ambiguità. Inizialmente, può sembrare superficiale, frivola e ossessionata dall'apparenza, famosa per la sua bellezza, il suo stile di vita lussuoso e il suo atteggiamento spensierato. Con un ottimismo contagioso e una propensione a fare battute per attirare l'attenzione, è una ragazza vivace, ammirata o odiata a seconda di chi la guarda. Ma dietro questa facciata, Beatrice nasconde una mente acuta. Nonostante la sua inclinazione per il facile e il conveniente, sa come usare il suo fascino e carisma per ottenere ciò che desidera, dimostrando una profondità che pochi vedono.

𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔:

La sua sessualità segreta Beatrice ha sempre mantenuto la sua sessualità un segreto, celato nel profondo del suo cuore. È omosessuale, ma ha paura di dichiararlo apertamente, rivelandolo solo alla sua migliore amica, Jasmine.

Il sogno proibito di diventare una cantante Sin da piccola, Beatrice ha coltivato una passione segreta per la musica, sognando di diventare cantante. Oltre alla moda, ha imparato a suonare il pianoforte e la sua voce è potente e melodiosa.

Una collezione segreta di lettere d'amore Beatrice nasconde un segreto intimo: una collezione di lettere d'amore. Non solo quelle scritte alla sua crush secolare o ricevute da ammiratori, ma anche lettere anonime trovate per caso – in caffè, mercatini o inviate da sconosciuti.

𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒔: La sua magia è incentrata sul potere dell’amore, un incanto che abbraccia ogni forma di affetto e desiderio. I suoi poteri sono radicati nella capacità di influenzare le emozioni, di evocare la bellezza dell'amore in tutte le sue sfaccettature, dalla passione travolgente alla dolcezza dell’amicizia. Il suo scettro di luce rosa, uno strumento di grande potere, rappresenta la fusione perfetta tra grazia e forza, bellezza e potenza. Lo scettro di Beatrice, le è stato regalato dalla nonna, forgiato con una luce eterea e potente, simile a una lunga bacchetta dorata con una gemma rosa brillante in cima.

Love is the starting point and the end of the narrative of Dante’s journey to the afterlife. It is love which moves Beatrice to intervene and ask Virgil to come to his rescue when he is lost in the dark wood at the beginning of the poem (amor mi mosse, she tells him, Inf. ii 72: “love moved me”). Dante appeals to Virgil in the name of ’l lungo studio e ’l grande amore (“the long study and the great love”) he has devoted to Virgil’s work. Near the end of the poem, as Dante draws closer to his goal, a famous image describes the whole of creation as the scattered pages and gatherings of a book. Dante finally sees those pages legato con amor in un volume (“bound with love in one volume”). The multifariousness and fragmentariness of the created world and human experience makes sense as a single artifact, intelligible and meaningful. It is love that binds the book, love that holds everything together. In the final lines of the poem, when he is absorbed in the beatific vision, Dante’s desire and will are attuned to and move in harmony with those of his maker.

"'WHY CONDEMN INNOCENT BOY?' MOTHER ASKS," Toronto Star. November 10, 1933. Page 1 & 2. --- Howard Every Removed From His Home to Children's Shelter ---- GOING TO ORILLIA ---- 85 Children in Toronto Reported in Need of Institutional Care ---- Late yesterday afternoon, immediately after a conference between Robert E. Mills, director of the Toronto Children's Aid Society, and James W. McFadden, crown attorney, Mrs. Helen Lawrence, investigator for the society, called at the home of Howard Every and took possession of the seven-year-old boy who figured in the death of "Bunty" Hillier. He is now in the quarters of the Toronto society, awaiting transfer to the government hospital at Orillia, as soon as it can be arranged.

"Neither Howard nor his mother raised any fuss," Mrs. Lawrence stated. "Mrs. Every said a few things against the people who were taking Howard from her, but she did not refuse to let us have him."

Beatrice Every, 14-year-old sister, went with Howard to the society's shelter for a few days, until he gets used to his new surroundings.

Howard's mother was disconsolate last night.

"Why do they condemn an innocent little boy of seven?" she demanded, between sobs.

Howard never touched the Smith baby at Port Perry. He would have been drowned himself if he had carried the baby into the water. There's no beach there. The ground drops right into deep water."

With a rueful shake of his head, the Every boy's father said he would take no legal action to oppose the transfer of Howard to Orillia. "What's the use?" he asked hopelessly. "The Children's Aid Society has the power to put him there and will use it. Our only hope is to show the evidence against Howard is false."

"Rather than put them in an institution, we have been trying other methods of dealing with these cases, of which there are a great number in the province," said Hon. Dr. J. M. Robb, discussing to-day the report that there are 85 children in Toronto in need of institutional care. "We are adopting the system of prevention rather than cure. Our medical officers of health have established clinics where they are being studied carefully and the information handed on to the parents. In this way we have kept 500 children in the province out of institutions."

Dr. Robb agreed that a child who was a menace should be sent to an institution.

"We have accommodated between 500 and 600 in the last few years," said the minister, "and we can always take some, but not 85 at once."

Seems Happy In Shelter Howard Every seems happy in his surroundings at the Children's Aid Shelter, officials said to-day. Howard, who was taken there yesterday, was accompanied by his 14-year-old sister Beatrice, at the suggestion of the shelter officials.

"Did he cry at all for his mother?" The Star asked. "No, not at all. But he appeared to be a bit restless when it was time to go ta bed. But 'Betty' was there to talk to him and he quieted down all right." The sister will probably stay with him three or four days. She and Howard were playing happily in the shelter yard to-day.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Every, parents of the child, had left home shortly after 9 a.m., according to Alan Every, their 17-year-old son, to visit Howard and Beatrice, they had not arrived at the shelter by noon.

Beatrice Botticini Bianchi e Giovanni Careccia in residenza a Longiano con With love

15 Aprile 2024 - 29 Aprile 2024 

A Longiano è iniziata la residenza creativa per la ricerca e la composizione del nuovo spettacolo di Beatrice Botticini Bianchi e Giovanni Careccia.

Gli autori, spinti dalla necessità di indagare il tema del conflitto all’interno delle relazioni umane, hanno ideato un dispositivo poliedrico, versatile e multidisciplinare. With love è una ricerca composta da laboratori e atti performativi. Ogni incontro prevede l’analisi e lo sviluppo di materiali connessi alla tematica, che vengono poi integrati in una performance in continuo divenire, malleabile e plasmata dagli avvenimenti contemporanei e dai contenuti espressi dal pubblico, in un’ottica di creazione co-partecipata.

Vorrei fare con te quello che la primavera fa con i ciliegi #1
