As the party continued on into the night, the girl faithfully followed Sagan to the point of nearly cowering behind them as they descended further into the depths of the palace. Without Finnick by her side, she was vulnerable to the touches and offers of the partygoers, Sagan clueless to the fact that one might be made uncomfortable by this type of behavior; they meant well but ultimately, they were one of them.
She had seen the first glimpses of Finnick acting like himself when he had snuck away, finding something more important than her safety, than her to occupy his night. The idea of heading back home and never having to see him in more than a passing glance and mentor-related events was becoming more and more appealing. What had he really done for her anyway? She had been the one to impress the judges during training, to get in with the career pack and to fight her way out of that arena. Even with the unfortunate implications that had come from her interviews, she had clearly made an impression in the Capitol given she received a sponsor in her biggest time of need. If anything, Finnick’s presence in her life only made things far more complicated than they needed to be.
“Is the party almost over?” She asked Sagan as they pulled her along hand in hand, “Finnick’s gone and I just want to go home.”
“Over? Darling, it’s barely begun,” Sagan gasped. “You’re the star here. If you go now…well, I suppose it will continue on but at least stay for the fireworks!”
“Fireworks?”
“Exactly! You simply must see them.” As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she was intrigued. At the very least, she had heard rumblings of the President’s speech and the grand presentation being imminent so it wouldn’t be an impossible task to wait a bit longer.
They were mingling for a little while longer when out of the corner of her eye, the girl saw a peacekeeper approach Sagan. She excused herself from the conversation she was in, in favor of finding a larger crowd to hide amongst. It was no use however, as her escort and the armed guard were by her side in minutes. When a leather gloved hand wrapped around her upper arm, she tried to escape the bruising grip but Sagan stepped in before she could start an altercation.
“It seems you’re a very lucky girl tonight. A private audience with President Snow awaits you!” Sagan said the words pointedly, knowing the girl well enough to urge her to calm herself before things escalated. “Go on now. I’ll be right here waiting to hear all about it!”
She eased in the guard’s grasp as he led her towards the other man from his post. With the two of them behind her, they corralled her up the grand staircase to the top floor. The dark wooded hallway loomed around her, seeming to go on for miles with different doors. The guards led her to one at the end of the hall, marked in its importance by a wide set of double doors. The two of them took their new position, one on each wall as she looked at them for some indication as to what she should do but their masked faces revealed nothing. She stepped up to the door and before she could reach out a hand to knock, it opened, revealing a familiar face.
“Finnick, what’s going on?”
Her eyes darted from Finnick’s wide blown ones to Snow’s narrow gaze.
“Ah, and here’s our victor now,” Snow announced with a gesture of presentation, the room eerily silent beyond those words. Finnick’s mouth was agape as he stared at her, failing to form any sound. His eyes glanced between her and the door as if he was thinking of making an escape. The President cleared his throat. “Please have a seat, my dear. I’ll formally extend my congratulations in a moment but first, Finnick has something he wanted to say. Don’t you, Finnick?”
She took the finely upholstered seat in front of the President’s desk, sitting awkwardly stiff. It was impossible not to feel as if she had walked in on something she wasn’t supposed to be a part of, the air in the room cold and tense. She was angled towards Finnick, eyes moving from the President to her mentor as he practically shook in his stance.
In a moment there was a burst of words from Finnick, rushing out of his mouth where there were none before, “You have to understand I didn’t mean for this to happen this way, there was nothing I could–”
The frantic quality of his expulsion and no doubt the volume caused the peacekeepers to step towards him, hands on their weapons but Snow must have anticipated the reaction for he stopped all three of the men with a tut.
“There’s no need for that, my boy,” The President sighed, turning to her to add, “He’s simply overexcited. Of course, Mr. Odair has taken a special interest in you and as a gift for him, I’ve approved your arrangements.” With the frigid air in the room, she was breaking into a cold sweat, a pit in her stomach growing larger by the minute.
“Arrangements?”
“Finnick, would you like to try that again?” Snow ‘asked’ though it was clear from the look on Finnick’s face that he had no choice. He pulled something out from behind his back that she couldn’t make out but if he wasn’t careful, his shaking hands would surely drop it. With his head pointed down towards the floor, he inched closer to her. His hand made to present the item in his possession to her but the President interrupted before she could catch a glimpse. “Now, now, be a gentleman and do it properly.”
Stinging hot tears sprang to her eyes as she watched Finnick get down on one knee, shaking her head before he revealed the piece of jewelry in his hand. In his palm sat a pearl ring, glittering stones around it forming the shape of a seashell. Finnick’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, the lines of his frown mirroring the anguish that she too felt. Her vision was blurred by unfallen tears as she looked to Snow who nodded with a ‘go on’ gesture. There was no refusing, no running or fighting to be had; this was inevitable, it was this or death.
She nodded along in time with Snow, turning back to Finnick as silent tears traveled down her face. Grabbing her hand with his own, she flinched at Finnick’s touch briefly before relinquishing, allowing him to slide the ring onto her finger.
Finnick stood up, using her hand as leverage before she yanked her hand out of his. They turned to Snow expectantly, their next move unclear, the rest of their lives essentially up to the man in front of them. She felt the years slip through her fingers, her life already carved in stone. A cold dread traveled her entire body.
Snow cleared his throat and stood to attention, “I believe it’s time for my speech. Join me, would you?” She could feel Finnick’s gaze on her but she didn’t dare turn to him, resolving to deal with him later. If it weren’t for the President, for the armed guards, she might’ve thought it in her best interest to fight her way out. Though, her instinct for self preservation was dwindling by the minute.
The peacekeepers led the three of them out onto the balcony, her and Finnick flanking the President on either side. The room having been void of life had not prepared her for the thousands of eyes on her in an instant. Seeming to go on for miles, the estate stood in its entirety in front of them, the Capitols citizens cheering as a spotlight fell onto her and the two men. She attempted to shield her eyes from the light as Snow began to speak.
“Greetings, everyone,” The president’s voice boomed from next to her, echoing across the courtyard, “I know many of you have been anticipating the return of a fine young victor to our Capitol and tonight, I would like to formally introduce you to our very own Pearl, our 70th victor of the annual Hunger Games!” The crowd roared appropriately, a sound she had come accustomed to. Snow raised a single hand with a rehearsed grandeur and not an ounce of force, yet still the audience was immediately silenced.
“But it seems good fortune has fallen upon us. On this, the last day of her tour, I am most honored to announce the engagement of our newest victor to none other than our very own, Finnick Odair.”
No interview, speech or appearance had prepared her for the uproarious response of the Capitol citizens. People were cheering, hugging, crying. They had not cared so much for her safe return home, for her very life and yet they stood beneath her as though this was the greatest news they had ever heard: the end of her freedom.
Out of the corner of her eye she could see Finnick smiling and waving as though they were truly some happy couple, as though he weren’t essentially her captor. The lights around her were blurring together as she became dizzy with anger. She imagined joylessly the reality in which she could tell the truth, cry out for help, the reality in which one of these people would notice even a piece of the corruption that their lives were built on.
An explosion of both sound and light painted the sky above sending her into a panic. She looked around wildly for the source until on her other side, the process repeated, this time a cerulean shadow cast itself over the crowd. Before she could understand what she was seeing, Snow was making his closing remarks and the peacekeepers were leading them back inside.
Her eyes struggled to adjust to the sudden darkness and a hot putrid breath was on her ear, “We’ll be seeing each other soon, my dear. We’ve things yet to be discussed.” The doors were shut behind her without another word, leaving her alone with her fraudulent fiance. Finnick was already walking down the hall, not checking behind him to see if she would even follow but follow she did. When they made it to the stairs, he was running his hand through his hair, the other hand flailing as he spouted excuses.
“Listen, I’m going to get us–”
She didn’t take any time to listen, the object of her rage before her. With a strangled shout and all her strength, she shoved him. Despite her attempt to fully disarm him, she watched as he stumbled down about half the steps before regaining his composure.
“Hey! Listen to me-” She ignored him, stomping down the steps and trying to attack him again. She couldn’t think, her vision completely red and filled with the man who stole her future.
“This is all your fault!” She screamed, still shoving at his chest. In their struggle, they had unknowingly found themselves at the bottom of the stairs from which she could now hear onlookers whispering around them. She made to hit him still, unbothered by the crowd for she had nothing to lose but he stopped her, grabbing her forearms with bruising strength as she grappled against him.
“We can’t do this, not here,” Finnick hissed through his teeth for only her to hear. She was inconsolable, her only objective being to make him feel her pain. Though she held her own, he was undoubtedly stronger, years of training behind him and he stood, hoisting her up along the way. Her arms now free, she made for another strike but he had already snaked an arm around her waist, throwing her over his shoulder before she could make another move. She pounded his back with her fists but he did not relent.
As always, Finnick performed for his audience, leaving the room with a charming explanation and wink.
“She’s just so eager to get home and celebrate!”
・・・Ψ・・・
Finnick was splayed across the cushioned bench of an unmoving train, contemplating the life he had not even months before and the life that was unfolding in front of him like some child’s picture book though rather than a fairytale, it was the kind of story parents used to scare their kids into good behavior. It wasn’t as though he had any big plans for himself–he always knew his life belonged to the President–but at the very least he had hoped for the comfort of routine, some semblance of peace. Now he was responsible for another person’s life, another person who could be used as leverage against him and if she had anyone in her life, that also traced back to him; it was wave after wave, distending until they would inevitably drown him.
On top of that, he knew the girl would not make any transition easy, having shown him exactly how she felt the night before when she had attacked him with a bloodlust he hadn’t even seen her break out in the arena. Still, he held out hope that she would come to understand that though unfair, this was the safest option for both of them. If he was being honest, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief at being free from having to give up his body to strangers, to put on a mask that was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish from himself; he had spared her from that and surely that was something to be grateful for.
“Any word on your…fiancee’s arrival?” Sagan asked gingerly, sneaking glances at the window above him. They had been despondent since the party, he figured for feeling scorned having not heard about their ‘engagement’ before the rest of the Capitol. “The conductor is getting antsy.”
“She’s on the President’s time. She’ll be back when he sees fit,” Finnick sighed, an arm slung over his eyes. Peeking over his elbow, he could see Sagan scoff before stomping off, their heels only making a dramatic thud on the carpeted floor of the traincar. He wanted her back more than anyone, he wanted to get home more than anyone but of course, Snow came first.
The anticipation was killing him, worsened by the fact that he was not there to refute or explain away Snow’s words. Whatever the President was telling her, he was sure it painted him in a bad light and life would be easier for all of them if he could for once find himself in her good graces. He cursed the day they had laid eyes on eachother, wishing Mags had been there to guide her through, the distaste the girl likely still would have had for him only leaving him more determined for the next year.
The sun had nearly set when the doors to the main car slid open, Finnick’s heavy lidded eyes opening with a snap. He bolted upright, smoothing the wrinkles from his clothes as she stepped in. Once she laid slitted eyes on him, she purposefully made her way towards the next car but on unsteady legs he dashed after her, stopping her with an arm wrapped around her middle.
“We can’t not talk about this,” He grunted, “It’s not just going to go away if we ignore it.” She slipped out of his relaxed grasp with ease but he had already whirled around, putting himself between her and the doors.
“Get the fuck away from me,” She seethed. He swallowed the anger that she so specially drew out from him, shaking his head with a deep breath.
“What did he say? If I could just explain–”
“Oh, he explained everything. You’re disgusting,” She hissed lowly, regarding him as if she couldn’t stand to be in his presence. He reeled back as though she had hit him and Finnick considered that he might have preferred that to such blatant contempt. Couldn't she understand that it wasn’t his choice?
“Everything?”
“Everything.”
Finnick felt a deep shame well within him. Maybe in another life he would still sleep around but it wasn’t that part, the promiscuity, that bothered him, it was the lack of control over his own body that made him feel ill, feel disgusting. He had never uttered to another person the truth of his situation, the sale of him as a commodity by their own President, their valiant leader. This was just another thing that Snow had taken from him: the ownership of his own truth.
“Snow went on about how he ‘owed you for your…loyalty.’” Her face was twisted in genuine disdain. The implications of what his loyalty entailed made his face flush in humiliation. A long silence fell between them as he tried to regain his composure. It was broken, however, when a gasp rang out from the other side of the room.
“There you are!” Sagan gushed, rushing over to the pair. “Well, now that the two of you are here let me just say congratulations! Snow’s announcement last night was quite…sudden. I certainly never would have expected it.” A smile was plastered on their face so widely it looked as though it might crack. At that, his girl groaned and used the distraction to slip away. Finnick shot Sagan a ‘what can you do’ kind of grin and followed after her.
“Hey,” Finnick called after her, taking quick strides to follow her through the cars. He managed to grab her upper arm and her attention with a firm, “Hey.”
She whipped her head back to look at him, her jaw clenched. He took a quick scan of the surroundings and pulled her into a spare bedroom, shutting the door after them.
“Listen,” Finnick began, “I’m sorry, okay? But this–” he gestured vaguely between them, unwilling to put it to words, “this is the reality now. I would take this all back if I could but if he really told you everything, then you know this is for the best.”
“What do you know-”
“Enough. I am speaking now.” She didn’t cower in front of him, nothing even close, but she dignified him with her silence, her head tipped back. “Snow doesn’t take things like this lightly. If we don’t play along–and we’re going to play along–he won’t hesitate to get rid of us the same way he gets rid of everyone but he’ll break you down first, make you wish for it. He’ll start with the ones you love.”
She laughed cruelly, “I don’t have anyone that I love.”
“Well, I do,” Finnick bit back, “So whatever Snow’s idea of a happy couple is, that’s what we’re going to be. End of story.” Her bottom lip trembled but she kept that sardonic grin that made his blood boil.
“You’re a sick man, Finnick Odair,” She scorned.
“Maybe so,” He offered with a grin that mirrored her venom, “but we’re in the real games now and I won’t lose.”

Chronological Horror Watch Rankings from 2023
Life continues to be busy, and Sci-Fi Saturdays are basically on hold until I have the time and mental bandwidth to engage in unpaid cinema musing. (Especially because I want to write stuff that's actually thoughtful and interesting.)
However, if you follow me on Twitter or BlueSky, then you know I have been commenting on the horror films I have been watching to mark Spooky Season.
I watch and read about horror all year long, but Halloween is an excuse to mainline them. Last year I sk/tweeted my way through a chronological watch of Pre-Code/1930s horror cinema.
Here's how I ranked the 25 films I watched, from worst to best, with my sk/tweet commentary:
25. Murders in the Zoo (Dir. A. Edward Sutherland, 1933): The premise is good, but the film is either a delight or dud, depending on how funny you find Charles Ruggles' character, and how much you know about eating patterns of large reptiles.
24. Thirteen Women (Dir. George Archainbaud, 1932): I want to like this Bechdel Test passing tale of a mixed-race woman killing off the white women who bullied her as a child, but the yellow face, Orientalism and racism present disgusts me too much.
23. Murders in the Rue Morgue (Dir. Robert Florey, 1932): Bela Lugosi's screen presence and Karl Freund's cinematography keep this Edgar Allen Poe adaptation from true mediocrity. For a better 1930s movie with a killer ape watch "King Kong."
22. Svengali (Dir. Archie Mayo, 1931): Is this truly a horror movie? Film scholar William K. Everson thought so. Svengali is a hypnotic, abuser of young women, like Dracula. The actual horror is that manipulative abusers are so prevalent in real life.
21. Werewolf of London (Dir. Stuart Walker, 1935): Werewolf of London plays like a variant on The Invisible Man minus James Whale's artistry. The seed of a good concept is in this film, however, and would eventually inspire better werewolf films.
20. The Invisible Ray (Dir. Lambert Hillyer, 1936): Boris Karloff's antisocial scientist pursues Radium "X" research to the point of self destruction, but makes the mess he made of his reputation and relationships everyone else's problem.
19. Dracula's Daughter (Dir. Lambert Hillyer, 1936): For happening moments after Dracula ends, it's odd that the Sewards are never mentioned in Dracula's Daughter. At least Countess Zakeska being outright bisexual diverts from this plothole.
18. Dracula (Dir. Tod Browning, 1931): Is it a good adaptation of the source novel? Not really. Did Tod Browning really leave most of the direction to cinematographer Karl Freund? Probably. Is Bela Lugosi nevertheless charismatic and iconic as Dracula? YES!
17. Freaks (Dir. Tod Browning, 1932): Given how some of the performers were exploited, I feel a bit guilty for how much I enjoy Freaks. I love stories of outsiders creating found family (as well as revenge narratives), so I keep coming back to this unique film.
16. Drácula (Dir. George Medford, 1931): A Spanish language version of Dracula exists because reshooting the main scenes in a different language was easier than dubbing or subtitling films in 1930. The resulting film is overall better than Tod Browning's.
15. White Zombie (Dir. Victor Halperin, 1932): Part of the "Bela Lugosi Has Weird Makeup" and "A Woman Being Hypnotized is A Man's Problem Actually" Pre-Code subgenres. Of greater note, this film says a lot more about colonialism than probably intended.
14. The Black Cat (Dir. Edgar G. Ulmer, 1934): The Black Cat is a film where aesthetics and shock value are the attraction over story. Bela Lugosi gets to be handsome, Boris Karloff gets to be stylishly sinister, and the two pair well together.
13. The Raven (Dir. Louis Friedlander, 1935): Bela Lugosi's Edgar Allen Poe obsessed neurosurgeon seems to be taking revenge on Boris Karloff for his character's sins against Lugosi's in The Black Cat. Granted, his character is also a sadist.
12. The Most Dangerous Game (Dir. Irving Pichel and Earnest B. Schoedsack, 1932): Shot on many of the same sets as King Kong (1933) and featuring 2 of its stars, The Most Dangerous Game looks like an adventure story and plays out as suspenseful horror.
11. Island of Lost Souls (Dir. Erle C. Kenton, 1932): The compulsion to include love interests in adaptations of literary sci-fi/horror like Island of Lost Souls, adds interesting dimension to their themes, even as they remain narratives centering men.
10. The Mummy (Dir. Karl Freund, 1932) The plot is mostly a rehash of Dracula (1931), but its heroine has more agency. Jack Pierce's makeup and Boris Karloff's performance are equal to, if not better than, their work in Frankenstein.
9. Doctor X (Dir. Michael Curtiz, 1932): Shot in expressive two-color Technicolor and featuring pre-Code scream queen Fay Wray, Doctor X packs an amazing amount of horror, sci-fi, comedy, and mystery elements into 76 minutes.
8. The Bride of Frankenstein (Dir. James Whale, 1935): Despite being made after the Production Code went into effect, the body count is higher in this film than Frankenstein. The Bride herself, meanwhile, only appears on screen for less than 5 minutes.
7. Mystery of the Wax Museum (Dir. Michael Curtiz, 1933): Michael Curtiz, Lionel Atwill, Fay Wray and Technicolor teamed up a second time for Mystery of the Wax Museum. But it's fast talking, reporter Glenda Farrell who keeps the plot moving and together.
6. Mad Love (Dir. Karl Freund, 1935): Maybe it's the presence of fellow expatriate Karl Freund behind the camera, but Peter Lorre's performance in Mad Love is nuanced, captivating, and one of his best. The film is otherwise middle of the road for the era.
5. The Old Dark House (Dir. James Whale, 1932): Need a Gothic meditation on the Lost Generation but with black humor and queerness? James Whale is your director! The film is a fairly accurate adaptation of its source novel, Benighted by J.B. Priestley, too.
4. The Invisible Man (Dir. James Whale, 1933): James Whale's horror films, including The Invisible Man, have more character than their contemporaries. Claude Rains' manic, darkly comic performance is as strong as the visual effects.
3. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Dir. Rouben Mamoulian, 1931): Karl Struss' dynamic, creative cinematography makes this adaptation of the oft filmed Robert Louis Stevenson novella stand out. Unfortunately, Hyde's abuse of Ivy is trigger warning warranting disturbing.
2. Vampyr (Dir. Carl Th. Dreyer, 1932, France/Germany) It's not a Hollywood film, so Vampyr probably shouldn't be on this list, but this trippy, technically sound but aesthetically silent, art film fits the timeline, so I used that as an excuse to watch it.
1. Frankenstein (Dir. James Whale, 1931): Like Dracula, Frankenstein is a loose adaptation of its source novel, but has defined the iconography of its central monster. It's also a damn great film, period. Its influence on horror and sci-fi is justified.

A/N: Here’s some Bela/Henriksen nobody asked for, cheers.
Arthur Ketch was an absolute bastard. Which is, Bela suspects as she furiously contemplates her second drink, actually the entire fucking point.
Of course their boss had picked Ketch for promotion over her, because said boss was also a bastard. Not to mention a twat, not to mention a wanker, not to mention just about every other insult Bela’s thoroughly done with this rubbish mind can come up with as she sulks at the bar of the second-rate drinking establishment she somehow got roped into entering as part of the general office celebration of Arthur Ketch, new Vice President of Global Affairs at Shurley & Sons, Inc. Never mind that Bela has been with the company longer and knows the role better; apparently, she needs to ‘smile more’ and ‘work on her people skills’ and other misogynistic bullcrap she’s one hundred percent certain no manager has ever said to a man.
God forbid a woman have ambition.
As she tips back her glass, Bela’s gaze catches Ketch high-fiving coworkers over by the jukebox as he cues up what will undoubtedly be another god-awful song partying it up in proper tool fashion. How’s about I ‘work on my people’ skills by smashing this glass over his stupid fucking head? she thinks, savoring the burn of liquor on her tongue. I’ll even smile…
“Damn,” comes an amused voice from her left, and Bela turns to see her coworker, Victor Henriksen, sliding onto the stool next to her. “Why do I feel like I’m about to witness first-degree murder?”
Bela scoffs. “Please,” she says, flashing him a conspiratorial smile. “If I were going to kill him, I’d do it when there were no witnesses. They’d never even find the body.”
Henriksen considers her, looking not so much horrified as impressed. “I believe it.” He raises a hand to get the bartender's attention. “Can I refill your drink?”
Bela gives him an indifferent shrug, barely holding back a cringe as LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” starts playing to raucous cheers from the general jukebox vicinity. Fucking Ketch. “Why not.”
As a general rule, Bela isn’t what she would call fond of any of her coworkers, but Henriksen’s all right. He’s been with the company nearly as long as she has, and he’s clever and highly competent at his job. If Bela were in a less petty place at the moment, she might have even gone so far as to say that she wouldn’t have minded overly much if Henriksen had got the VP position, because at least he, unlike Ketch, is actually qualified.
The bartender drops off their drinks (a dry martini for Henriksen, another gin and tonic for Bela), and Henriksen picks up his glass, raising it in Bela’s direction with a wry smile. “To plotting murder against thoroughly mediocre men. I won’t snitch if you won’t.”
Bela lets out a surprised laugh and clinks their glasses together. “Cheers.”
They drink, after which Henriksen leans back on his stool and gives her a knowing look. “Real talk, though: Shurley fucked up with the VP position. You, I could see, but Ketch?” He shakes his head. “Hell no. Guy probably won’t even last a quarter.”
Bela arches a brow. “Fifty dollars says he won’t last a single month.”
Henriksen raises a brow of his own. “You know something I don’t?”
“I know I’m sick of fighting fair against men who’ve never had to work for anything in their entire bloody lives. The kid gloves are coming off, darling.” She leans toward him, smiling serenely. “Come Monday, it’s all-out war.”
She doesn’t expect Henriksen to disapprove, but it’s still a surprise, albeit a pleasant one, when he smiles back, shifting to mirror her position. “Sounds devious; I’m in. Assuming, that is, that you’re recruiting.”
Oh yes, Bela thinks as she surveys her new-found accomplice with growing approval, Henriksen was definitely all right.

Jus In Bello- Part 5
Pairing: Dean x Reader
Word Count: 1,679
Warnings: Typical Supernatural violence, language, angst, blood, you know the usual
Author’s Note: I do not own anything from Supernatural. All credit goes to their respective owners. Any and all comments on these are appreciated. I really want to hear what you guys think about this one!
Feedback is the glue that holds my writing together.
Tags at the bottom
While Sam was working, you filled in everyone about what was going to go down. You handed a bag of salt to Phil and to Nancy.
“You guys can handle this?” You asked them.
“Yeah, we can,” Nancy said.
“Good. When you hear our yell, then you go and leave through the back. They won’t expect that.” They both nodded and left the room to get into position. Sam took that moment to walk back into the room.
“Get the equipment to work?” You asked him and he nodded.
“This is insane.” Sam sighed.
“You win understatement of the year.” Ruby sassed.
“Look, I get it, you think—” Dean started to say but Ruby cut him off.
“I don’t think… I know. It’s not gonna work,” Ruby glared as she stood up and started to leave. “So long, boys. Y/N.”
“So, you’re just gonna leave?” Sam asked in disbelief.
“Hey. I was gonna kill myself to help you win. I’m not gonna stand here and watch you lose. And I’m disappointed because I tried. I really did, but clearly, I bet on the wrong horse. Do you mind letting me out?” Ruby asked when she got to the door without stepping into the Devil’s Trap. Sam stared at her before sighing. He walked over to her and scratched the edge of the trap and broke the salt line which allowed her to leave the building. She opened the door and left the building.
“Okay, we need to get into position because it’s not long before they come through the front door.” You said and stayed in the main building with Sam as Dean and Victor left the main room to cover the back exits.
“All set?” Dean yelled so everyone could hear them. You knew Phil and Nancy would leave the building at this cue.
“Yeah!” Sam yelled for you and himself.
“Ready!” Victor pitched in.
“Let’s do this.” You muttered to Sam before breaking all the salt lines and the devil traps. You held your breath, waiting for them to start attacking but nothing was happening. You looked at Sam and was about to say something when two demons busted through the door, trying to intimidate you with their black eyes. They immediately attacked but you shot them where it would hurt. Although wounded, it didn’t keep them down. You kept shooting at them but more demons came in and you knew you had to get rid of the gun if you wanted to fight.
One demon charged at you and tackled you to the ground before giving you a nasty right hook. You spit out blood from inside your mouth but took out a flask of holy water and sprayed the demon, watching as it burned his skin. He let you go long enough for you to knee him in the groin before kicking him off you.
You quickly got up and grabbed your gun and shot at the same demon which brought him to the ground. You didn’t want to kill the people they were possessing so you aimed for the leg or the arm, somewhere not fatal.
“Go! Go! Go!” You heard Dean yell and you knew Victor was heading to the audio room where you needed him to be. You yelled out in pain as a female demon kicked you back and you fell into Nancy’s desk with a hard thump. You looked over at Sam and you knew he would need help but you were having difficulty helping him with a demon up your ass.
You flung holy water at the demons and cursed when your flask was empty. You grabbed your gun and used the butt of it to slam it into the demon coming at you. It connected with her face and knew the human in there would feel it in the morning.
You and Sam were backed into a corner and Jenna, the girl that Nancy recognized, climbed over the desk and stretched out her hand which sent you and Sam into opposite walls. You groaned in pain and saw Dean come into the main room.
“Henriksen, now!” Dean yelled but nothing happened. Before you lost hope about this whole plan, static began to fill the room and Sam’s voice filled the air. He was reciting the exorcism and all the demons stopped fighting and, as if all in sync, began yelling and tossing their heads back and forth. They ran to the doors to leave but just as Nancy and Phil were instructed, lined the doors and windows outside with salt so they couldn’t escape.
Demons all around screamed and tried to cover their ears but it was no use, the tape would keep playing. You looked at them try to escape from your place on the wall since you were still pinned to it. But you knew you wouldn’t be for long. Suddenly, black smoke began pouring out of the bodies and started to swirl around the ceiling. Suddenly, there came an explosion of light and the demons were gone and everything was still.
You slid down the wall and winced in pain when you connected with the hard floor. You shakily got to your feet and looked around at the fallen bodies. Victor walked out of the audio room and wiped some blood off his lip. Dean walked over to you to see if you were okay but you just nodded silently. The people who were possessed start to get up and the electricity flickered back on. The door opened and Nancy and Phil walked in with tired looks on their faces.
You sighed and leaned against Dean for support. This was all over and you won.
“We did it.” You smiled and looked at Dean who nodded back.
Later, as the survivors were being looked at by Phil and Nancy, you walked over to Victor who sighed, looking at his phone.
“I better call in. Hell of a story I won’t be telling.” Victor chuckled humorlessly.
“So, what are you gonna tell them?” You asked, meeting Sam and Dean by Victor.
“The least ridiculous lie I can come up within the next five minutes.”
“Good luck with that. Not to pressure you or anything, but what are you planning to do about us?” Dean wondered.
“I’m gonna kill you. Sam and Dean Winchester, along with Y/L Y/L/N were in the chopper when it caught on fire. Nothing left. Can’t even identify them with dental records,” he said and you smiled at him, silently thanking him. “Rest in peace, guys.” You reached out and shook Victor’s hand, Sam and Dean doing the same after you.
“Now get out of here.”
“Yeah…” Sam whispered before you three left the building without looking back.
“I’m ready to sleep for days.” You sighed as you slid into the backseat of the Impala.
“I violently agree with you on that,” Dean said before starting his beloved up.
When you got to the motel room you found, you showered immediately. Granted it was with Dean but only because he didn’t want to wait. After everyone has showered, you plopped on the bed and sighed, already feeling your muscles tense. Dean got next to you and you curled yourself in him. He pulled you into him and kissed the top of your head just as Sam got in his bed.
Before you could bask in the afterglow of the hunt, there was a knock on the door and Ruby walked in. Immediately you and the brothers were on alert. You sat up and she walked right to the TV.
“Turn on the news.” She said without a trace of a warm welcome. Sam sat up and did as she asked. A reporter was talking about the fire that happened at the police station.
“The community is still reeling from the tragedy that happened just a few hours ago. Authorities believe a gas main ruptured, causing the massive explosion that ripped apart the police station and claimed the lives of everyone inside. Among the deceased, at least six police officers and staff, including sheriff Melvin Dodd, deputy Phil Amici, and secretary Nancy Fitzgerald as well as three FBI agents, identified as Steven Groves, Calvin Reidy, and Victor Henriksen.” As she was talking, pictures of the discarded popped up.
“What? No…” you muttered, feeling guilty suddenly.
“Three fugitives in custody were also killed. We’ll continue to follow the story here at the scene, but for now, back to you, Jim.” She finished, letting another reporter take over. Ruby turned off the TV and turned to you, giving you the evil eye.
“Must have happened right after we left,” Sam said, tense.
“Poor Nancy…” you trailed off. You felt bad for all of them, of course, but Nancy was only a kid, or at least, she looked like a really young adult.
“Considering the size of the blast,” Ruby started to say and tossed you and the brothers a hex bag. “smart money’s on Lilith.”
“What’s in these?” Dean asked.
“Something that’ll protect you. Throw Lilith off your trail… for the time being, at least.”
“Thanks,” Sam said.
“Don’t thank me. Lilith killed everyone. She slaughtered your precious little virgin, plus a half a dozen other people. So, after your big speech about humanity and war, turns out your plan, was the one with the body count. Do you know how to run a battle? You strike fast and you don’t leave any survivors. So no one can go running to tell the boss. So, next time… we go with my plan.” Ruby glared before leaving the motel room to let you simmer in that.
“I killed them all.” You got tears, getting up and letting them fall.
“No, you didn’t. Lilith did.” Sam said and Dean got up to comfort you but you pushed him away.
“I was the genius that came up with the plan. I got them all killed.” You cried into your arms and this time, you accepted Dean’s hug and whispers of comfort words. This was all your fault.

SPN Rare Pair Bunker presents: SPN RarePairTober 2021
It’s a month-long, mixed media event celebrating rare ships of the CW's Supernatural
Similar to other October events that you might be familiar with, Rarepairtober will take place throughout the whole month of October. Below you'll find 31 double prompts to create your works for.
The challenge is open to everyone, whether you’re a part of our discord server or not (but you’re welcome to join us here :))

Double prompts consist of a rare ship prompt and a word/phrase prompt. Those can be used combined together, or separately—meaning you can create for the ship without including the word prompt or use the word prompt and create for any rare ship you like
We encourage experimenting with different ships, but if you'd rather write 31 fics for the same pairing, that's alright, too!
You can create for as many or as few prompts as you like. Even just one work is great
The prompts do not have to be filled in order
You can mix this event with other events as long as their rules allow it
Varied forms of creativity are allowed, such as fanfic, visual art, videos, playlists etc
When posting, mention @spnrarepairbunker in the post and tag #spnrarepairtober within the first five tags to make sure we can find your post
Content:
Works about Supernatural only
Must be centered on a rare pair (although romance doesn’t have to be the focus)
Ships considered rare are any ships except for destiel, wincest, and sabriel
There is no minimum or maximum word count for fics
All ratings are fine, but they must be appropriately tagged
No sexual content involving characters under 18
No RPF, reader-insert or ships with OCs
In the header/description, state: pairing, rating and common warnings/triggers, the prompt and its number
If you post to ao3, add your works to our collection: SPNRarePairTober2021

Palmeiras 2 x 0 Grêmio - Copa do Brasil Final - Tempo Real - Globo Esporte
Resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio - Copa Libertadores: Grêmio elimina Palmeiras no Pacaembu e vai à semifinal
Luiz Adriano rabiscou para cima de Kannemann, mas Paulo Victor fez a defesa! Quem avança? O meia Matheus Henrique e o goleiro Weverton foram os escolhidos para falarem resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio véspera desse Palmeiras e Grêmio decisivo da Libertadores!
O motivo? E a rede vai balançar? Live Blog. É noite de Libertadores na Goal! Weverton se estica e espalma! Começa o segundo tempo!! Intervalo no Pacaembu!! O segundo tempo promete!
Copa Libertadores: Grêmio elimina Palmeiras no Pacaembu e vai à semifinal
Paulo Victor sai mal e Willian perde outra chance! A bola é desviada e sobra para Willian. No segundo pau, ele pega de primeira reusltado acerta a trave!! O Corinthians tomou um sufoco em Itaquera! Agora é mata-mata. No segundo tempo, ele defendeu o pênalti cobrado por Mateus Vital, e no resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio, pegou novamente a bola chutada pelo meia.
Soube atacar o dono da casa e se defender. O gol do atacante Zé Roberto, no minuto final da primeira etapa, deixou os jogadores do time paulista nervosos. Na segunda etapa, o Corinthians melhorou e teve mais resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio de jogo, mas além do pênalti perdido, errou demais nas finalizações e nas jogadas individuais. Das 15 finalizações, apenas seis delas foram ao gol. Resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio, é ver o que Sylvinho conseguiu mudar em dois dias de trabalho.
O Atlético-GO vem jogando bem nessa temporada e pode aprontar de novo para cima do Corinthians. O caminho mais curto para o time alvinegro conquistar um título na temporada. Um alerta: os corintianos estavam pilhados em campo. O nervosismo afetou o time. Exagero tomar cinco cartões amarelos na estreia de um torneio.
Focar é preciso. Faltou liderança em lobertadores. Renato Augusto para substituir Gerson no Flamengo? Tema ganha as redes, e Eugênio Leal aprova: 'Gosto muito'. Mas o pior é ler quem autorizou esse absurdo em meio a uma pandemia que matou mais de mil brasileiros.
O mais triste e perigoso dessa história, é que o torneio saiu da Colômbia, por causa da onda de pГЎgina da Internet, e da Argentina pelo site aqui da pandemia. Isso é insano e de uma irresponsabilidade do tamanho do planeta bola! Ele faturou dois títulos importantes para o clube, a Conmebol Libertadores e a Copa do Brasil.
Abel recuperou jogadores, libertsdores experiência com os garotos da base. Hoje, tem um time sólido e prova isso com a segunda melhor campanha na fase de grupos da Libertadores. Busca sempre ser o resuktado e disputa títulos. O seu time fez um bom primeiro tempo resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio se perdeu no segundo.
Ele tentou a todo custo vencer o maior rival. Empate ou triunfo verde seria um resultado normal. Fica tranquilo Abel, entendemos, sim. Gol do Flamengo!
Copa do Brasil
Abel tem que aprender a digerir melhor o que ouve e o que lê. Ficar mais calmo à resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio de campo também ajuda.
Por outro lado, o Palmeiras tem aqui estГЈo as descobertas blindar o seu treinador.
Abel Ferreira foi um grande achado e merece total apoio. A primeira rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro para os quatro grandes paulistas foi péssima! Santos, Palmeiras e Corinthians foram derrotados. O Tricolor do Morumbi foi salvo pelo goleiro Volpi continue lendo defendeu um pênalti de Nenê. A pior derrota foi a do Santos, em Salvador. O Bahia precisou de apenas sete minutos para enfiar 3 a 0 no Peixe. Um desastre no começo do segundo tempo.
Thaciano fez dois gols, com assistências de Rossi, e Juninho completou o atropelo. Pedro marcou o gol da vitória por 1 a 0, com bela assistência de Bruno Henrique. Na estreia do técnico Sylvinho, resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio Corinthians teve um resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio para esquecer. Destaque para o goleiro Fernando Miguel que defendeu a cobrança da penalidade e, no rebote, evitou que bola a entrasse em novo chute de Vital. Fernando Miguel pega pênalti de Ee, que resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio finaliza na sobra e o goleiro salva de novo.
Resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio quinto representante do estado, do interior paulista, limpou a barra dos gigantes.
Na primeira bola, em que Bruno Henrique ganhou de Gabriel Menino na velocidade pelo lado esquerdo, o ;almeiras rolou para o matador Pedro fazer o gol da vitória.
O goleiro fez oito defesas importantes no jogo. O duelo dos melhores times do país foi de total respeito. Na primeira etapa, o Palmeiras teve menos posse de bola do que o Flamengo, mas foi melhor na busca pelo gol. O goleiro foi melhor jogador resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio confronto, com quatro defesas.
O Palmeiras deu trabalho e teve nove finalizações na partida. Rogério Ceni saiu feliz do confronto. O rubro-negro mostrou a sua força em busca do tri. O Palmeiras também vai dar trabalho.
Enquanto isso, o Palmeiras segue na freguesia do Flamengo. Uma invencibilidade de 11 jogos, com sete geemio e quatro empates no período. Foram 23 gols marcados e apenas sete sofridos. Oito jogos foram em casa, e três reshltado. No retrospecto geral do campeonato nacional, o Palmeiras leva vantagem sobre o Flamengo. Em jogos, foram 46 vitórias, 33 empates, 40 derrotas, gols marcados e gols sofridos.
Outra curiosidade do equilíbrio entre Palmeiras e Flamengo. Na capital carioca, em 32 duelos, o Flamengo conquistou 11 vitórias contra dez do Palmeiras e outros 11 empates. Os rivais jogaram no meio de semana pela Libertadores. Técnico: Rogério Ceni. Técnico: Abel Ferreira. Ainda mais, se o torneio for como o do ano passado. E agora, você arriscaria um palpite? Dos 20 clubes na disputa, oito nunca conquistaram resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio título do maior torneio nacional.
O Santos é o segundo com oito taças. Um de cada estado brasileiro. As equipes nunca se enfrentaram na história da Série A. No retrospecto geral, apenas dois jogos pela Série B, no ano passado.
Um empate e uma vitória do time de Mato Grosso. Em 50 jogos na Série A, o Peixe levou a melhor com 25 vitórias, contra 19 do Tricolor, e nove empates.
O ataque santista marcou 94 gols, contra 67 do time baiano. O Tricolor paulista leva vantagem com 31 triunfos, o carioca venceu vinte, com 16 empates. Duelo de difícil palpite. Foram apenas 10 jogos, com total equilíbrio: quatro vitórias para cada e dois empates.
O time mineiro anotou mais gols 22o Tricolor Foram 24 empates com 88 gols para cada clube. Outro duelo de difícil palpite. Em apenas 10 jogos no campeonato, foram resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio vitórias para o time paulista contra três do goiano, e três empates. O Corinthians marcou 13 gols e levou Chapecoense e Red Bull Bragantino travam o primeiro duelo da história na elite do futebol.
Na história, as duas equipes se enfrentaram duas vezes: uma resultado libertadores palmeiras e gremio do time de Bragança Paulista e um empate. O Bragantino fez dois gols e gremoi Chapecoense, um.

|Masterlist|
Again and again, she watched the shadow of a figure cast across the living room from the front window as they had for weeks now. She buried herself deeper in the blanket and tried to fall back into the mindless dirge of whatever was on the TV. From the other part of the house, she could hear Finnick and Mags puttering about and even with the faint movements she knew exactly what room they were in; the room that she hadn’t stepped foot in in weeks, the room whose door Finnick would shut if she even took a step towards. The figure passed by again, blocking the sunlight from bleeding through the window and despite her best interests, she thought she might just go outside. It’d been days since she’d felt fresh air and she’d be in and out before Finnick could say anything.
Her bare feet hit the polished wood floor, sending a shiver up her spine and she kept the blanket wrapped around her, the end of it trailing behind as she made her way towards the door. It took her eyes a minute to adjust to the sunlight but as they did, she could see the front porch was once again covered with vases of flowers and various ornate gift bags and boxes alike. She filled her arms with as much as she could take in one go, though caution didn’t matter much when every gift was an empty gesture…
“Hey, hey, no. You shouldn’t be lifting that.”
“It’s just a couple of vases. I think I can handle it.” Her protests went unheard as Finnick gathered the gifts in his arms leaving her with a ‘don’t you touch those’ about the rest. They’d hardly accepted the news themselves before it was Capitol official and it didn’t take long for the gifts to come flooding in; they already had a full nursery with enough for a family of ten. Any significant spares they received, like the surplus of bassinets, were donated first to their own District, then to the others.
Finnick had barely let his eyes off her since she told him she was pregnant and despite being terrified, as the gifts multiplied and the entire country buzzed her excitement began to grow. She never thought herself a mother, having decidedly condemned her future to one as a failed career before she met Finnick and then a captive in her own life after. Though now she supposed things had changed, her life, though not entirely hers, was made tolerable by Finnick and now, their child.
A small smile graced her face as she plucked a card from the bouquet of flowers. ‘Congratulations! We are so…’
‘...sorry to hear about your loss, our condolences–’ She was unable to finish reading the note before it was torn from between her fingers, the vase of calla lilies obstructed from her view.
“Finnick, please–”
“You don’t need to keep reading all of these,” His voice soothed, leaving the numerous gifts out on the porch as he closed the door, softly nudging her inside. “I’ll throw those out later.”
“I’m fine,” She tried to reassure him but her stomach clenched at his pained face. “You don’t need to be the one to do everything. I’m okay.” Despite her words, she didn’t expect the grief she felt when they lost the baby. She turned away from him, heading towards the kitchen where...
Their lunch was forgotten in her haze. The memories of intense pain and blood running down her thighs as she yelled for help had left her drained, and nearly unresponsive in bed. The only one around to help had been Mags, Finnick’s elderly mentor. The older woman had rubbed her back and helped her clean herself up before making her lie down in bed.
She must’ve done something; she couldn’t wrap her mind around how it could’ve happened. Maybe Finnick had been right and she should’ve been doing less than she was, maybe she ate something she shouldn't have, maybe she wasn’t meant to be a mother.
Her eyes pricked with tears, salt running down her cheeks at the revelation of what this would mean for her and Finnick. President Snow told them before they left for their honeymoon his expectations from them and not even three months since the official announcement of her pregnancy had she messed it up. She didn’t know how they would be punished but once again she’d dragged Finnick down with her. She was deep in her thoughts when a hand gently laid on her waist, startling her.
“Mags told me that…” She couldn’t bear to look at him when his voice choked up. “That you lost the baby?”
“I’m sorry.”
Finnick circled around the bed and crouched in front of her, his eyes red-rimmed and hair disheveled. “It’s not your fault,” He clutched her hand in both of his. “Not even a little bit.”
“But President Snow–”
“Fuck Snow. He doesn’t matter, you matter.” Finnick’s face was earnest…
…his eyes swirling with worry as he looked across the room at Mags who was already pulling out utensils to start making lunch. Although she found it tough to be taken care of, she knew the woman was happy to have someone to tend to again, especially when it came to Finnick who had l been bending over backward lately to be there for her every waking need.
He’d done everything he could to help her. Never-ending assurances and thoughtful words were thrown at her constantly, but she worried for him. All he had left was Mags and now her; a baby would’ve expanded his family and she knew he was crushed over it. Selfishly, she’d felt almost a bit relieved to have been released from the responsibility of taking care of a baby. She was eighteen and Finnick only a year older, they hadn’t grown up with much of any sort of role model and she felt ill-equipped to raise a child.
After what happened, they contacted The President before he could decide they were hiding something from him and she was quickly ushered to The Capitol and met by the best doctors in the country. Though, it was too late and they'd confirmed what she already knew: that she’d lost the baby.
“Hey, Mags, could you keep an eye on her while I take care of the rest of this stuff?” Finnick called out from behind her. Mags shook her head, gesturing first to herself and then towards the door, indicating that she’d take care of it and in turn leaving him no choice but to face her.
As soon as Mags was far enough away, she bit out, “I don’t need someone to babysit me.”
“Sweetheart, I didn’t–”
She was already walking with only one destination in mind and though she knew it wasn’t something that would be good for either of them, it was something she needed to do. Finnick’s footfalls were quick behind her on the stairs and she felt a pit in her stomach growing at the knowledge that he had already realized what she wanted.
When she reached the door, his hand was already on the handle holding it shut, his strength overwhelming her own. She smacked open palms and then fists against the door to no avail. Snapping her head to look at him, she stilled, letting the look on her face speak for itself as it met his own strained expression. His head fell, the unspoken exchange leaving him with no choice but to let go.
Turning the handle she opened the door…
…to see Finnick in deep concentration, trying to assemble the bassinet that they had been gifted from Sagan when they heard the news. Despite Sagan’s flare for the dramatics, the bassinet was sweet and simple, a classic cream color with a sea-themed mobile to accompany it.
She didn’t want to say anything as she leaned in the doorway, watching her husband hard at work. While it was hard to get used to the idea of being a mother, it didn’t take much to imagine Finnick as a doting father. She must’ve made some noise as she thought for Finnick jumped, the paper detailing the instructions falling out of his mouth and onto the floor.
“I, uh, I wanted to surprise you,” Finnick blushed as he stood. She couldn’t help but grin and she turned back for the door.
“Well, I’ll just pretend I didn’t see anything,” She called as she closed the door…
…and was met with Finnick’s grim face, her own likely mirroring his. Her heart was pounding at the sudden memory of a happier time and she felt sick. Their lives had been so strained recently that she worried for them.
She sighed walking past him towards their room. “I wish none of this had ever happened.”
A beat passed before Finnick spoke. “I’m sorry I did this to you.”

OBSOLESCÊNCIA
O “fim” absolutamente humano de Ozzy Osbourne
Eu posso dizer ter sido absolutamente acidental meu contato com Ozzy Osbourne há dois meses e umas semanas. Estava no YouTube, como quando estamos passando canais na televisão, e me deparei com um título “Ozzy Osbourne, impossível não amar” do Júlio Victor. Cliquei e, para minha surpresa, o vídeo era produzido por um canal que amo e respeito absolutamente, o Antídoto.
Algumas das coisas que pretendo descrever podem ser oriundas desse vídeo que mencionei acima ou de outros reviews gringos que acabei vendo acerca do álbum. No entanto, tentei manter a minha opinião o mais original possível, quando assim não o for, avisarei.
Fica como recomendação o tal vídeo do Júlio (feat. Antídoto), é realmente bom e foi a partir dele que fui pesquisar as novas músicas do Ozzy, ou melhor dizendo, do novo álbum, a começar por Straight to Hell… É aqui que começa esse texto sobre o Ordinary Man (lançado em 21 de fevereiro de 2020), somado às reflexões musicais e intervenções relativamente subjetivas.
O texto não dá conta de todas as informações acerca da produção, da banda, isto é, os músicos envolvidos, ou outras coisas que possam lhes interessar, por isso, sempre recomendo a pesquisa individual a partir dos vídeos que fiz menção. Mas algo já muito notável são alguns músicos que participam como Duff McKagan, Slash, Chad Smith, Tom Morello, entre outros de renome.
STRAIGHT TO HELL
Straight to Hell abre o álbum com o que se espera do dito Prince of Darkness… construindo o clima de assombro, com um coro anunciando o que está por vir, quase como uma tragédia, e logo se segue a guitarra, adequada ao gênero (comentarei sobre as guitarras adiante).
“Alright now!”
Ainda durante o riff principal, ouvimos pela primeira vez aquela voz familiar e que, em minha opinião, não canta bem. Em outro vídeo, o mencionado Júlio Victor fala sobre o fato de o Ozzy não possuir grandes habilidades vocais no início da carreira. Eu não poderia concordar mais. Inclusive, isso é algo que gosto muito, a suposta falta de técnica. Fico imaginando se perderíamos um Ozzy nesses programas vexatórios e horrendos como The Voice, X Factor, etc (fodam-se todos esses). Há algo de belo em “não cantar bem”, torna orgânico e próximo, quiçá humano. Aliás, é mais sobre o que é cantado, ou ao menos deveria ser.
Essa primeira sentença é uma referência clara à Sweet Leaf [Master of Reality (1971) - Black Sabbath]. Essa “intertextualidade” ou ainda “autotextualidade” é parte da premissa de Ordinary Man: a história de si.
Seguindo, estamos diante de um som agressivo (o vídeoclipe que reforça esse caráter) com uma letra simples e assustadora, terror típico de outras composições: “I will make you scream, I will make you defecate” ou o próprio refrão “We’re going straight to hell tonight”. Para primeira música do álbum, a volta de Ozzy em dez anos de hiato, não é nada mal. O tema e o próprio instrumental são familiares aos fãs e mesmo àqueles que só tinham algumas impressões do que esperavam ouvir.
Quanto ao instrumental, a guitarra principal vem de Slash e o baixo de Duff McKagan, ambos conhecidos de nós por conta de Guns N’ Roses. Penso que tal fato deixa a música menos heavy metal do que poderia. Com muito pouco esforço, reconhecemos o hard rock familiar a esses dois.
ALL MY LIFE
Nessa faixa, mais calma que a anterior, afirmo estar mais evidente aquela premissa, sendo os temas principais do álbum a história autoconsciente e a predição do fim. Ambas as coisas relacionadas à vida de Ozzy, mas gostaria de propor que pensássemos além, pois foram estes temas que me fizeram gostar tanto desse álbum. Cada vida é diferente, mas certas coisas são universais, que podem ocorrer em diferentes momentos da vida; e esse álbum conversa diretamente comigo (e apostaria que não só comigo) nesse momento.
Não bancarei o saudosista a todo momento aqui, outrossim condeno tal atitude, porém ressalto que o solo antes do último refrão lembra um pouco os timbres das músicas mais antigas [especialmente No More Tears (1991) e Ozzmosis (1995] e clássicas do nosso prestigiado.
Esse tom memorioso da música, como se remontando às origens (da carreira solo, não necessariamente com o Black Sabbath), é como alimentar o próprio espírito do rock e do heavy metal, alimentar isso em si é como ser jovem para sempre, uma vez que o gênero está velho e próximo da obsolescência (explico isso melhor em Under The Graveyard e It's a Raid).
Para seguirmos em frente, destaco os versos da ponte entre os refrões: Heaven can take me / But no one can save me from Hell again / You'll never erase me / I'm back on the road again
Ele voltou, consciente de sua história e é isso que ele se propõe a (re)apresentar a todas e todos.
GOODBYE
A introdução, ao meus ouvidos, remonta ao seu clássico Iron Man, certo? No mais, a música me cativa pouquissimamente, contudo de modo algum quer dizer que seja ruim. Pode soar monótona a princípio, contudo é de se surpreender sua progressão e suas variações… Ela continua o tema da memória e acrescenta a solidão, ou melhor, a autonomia forçada. No fim, são vocês por vocês, minhas caras e meus caros.
Além é claro do tom de despedida natural que há na vida... No céu tem chá?
ORDINARY MAN
A faixa que dá nome ao álbum… Tentarei ser breve, porque essa composição é incrível. O som é uma balada, a marca clara da parceria com Elton John, que somada ao rock de Ozzy, torna-se épica e monumental, digna de ser eleita o título de toda obra.
Com um tema tão presente e consistente (há aqueles que julgarão até enjoativo e entediante a repetição), essa música bastaria para sintetizar a ideia das duas anteriores, acerca da história e da carreira. Apesar disso, prefiro pensar que ela encerra esse arco de três músicas belissimamente, o piano de Elton John é mais do que adequado para a letra desta música, atribuindo-lhe o tom intimista e reflexivo.
"Many times I lost the control / And try to kill my rock and roll", momento em que a voz do Rocketman (não assisti ao filme, mas sei de modo raso do que se trata) aparece; além desse, outros versos tem um caráter profundamente humano da composição, aqui conhecemos as "entranhas" de sujeitos melancólicos a partir da retrospectiva da própria vida. O vídeo mais recente também é bom para entendermos isso.
O fato é que, com tal obra, é impossível morrer como um homem comum.
UNDER THE GRAVEYARD
Aqui, encontramos o momento de maior aproximação com a morte e o fim. Como tocamos no assunto de humanização na música anterior, essa que se segue é o ponto máximo de tal. Com uma letra profunda e mórbida, somos postos diante de senten��as (quase no sentido original da palavra, sententiae, proposições intelectuais simples e marcantes) em versos, que nos fazem refletir sobre o ocaso da vida.
Nada é tão humano quanto a morte, podemos ser diferentes de muitos modos e maneiras, mas o término do caminho é o mesmo.
Uma vez que trata da morte, retomo o que comecei sobre a obsolescência (ver acima): Grandes nomes do heavy metal e seus gêneros relacionados ou derivados estão envelhecendo, cada vez mais próximos do fim natural. Isso em partes será levado com eles, depende muito de quem vai ficar aqui e dar continuidade aos legados. Contudo, acredito que não deva ser de forma nostálgica, deve-se inovar, tomando-os como modelo. O rock precisa disso para não ser esquecido após sua morte. Ozzy sabe disso e passou a mensagem.
Por fim, duas coisas: o videoclipe (link no título) retrata um dos momentos mais dramáticos e frágeis da vida do artista, fragilidade essa que com respectivas particularidades, torna mais próxima a identificação, papel essencial da arte; e, à parte o vocal, musicalmente, infelizmente, a faixa comove pouco. Não há muito que dizer mesmo sobre.
EAT ME
Voltando para animar o álbum, Eat Me vem com outra energia, um pouco mais despretensiosa e descontraída (não tanto como se verá adiante). O baixo é evidente, bom e ousado, mas pouco independente, seguindo a mesma linha das guitarras - vale o destaque ainda assim.
No entanto, antes de seguirmos, gostaria de propor uma outra interpretação: quase como um desafio de um vaso ruim que não quebrou: lembremos de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas ou outros momentos da literatura em que estão tratados os vermes que comerão o cadáver (a carne dada aos vermes, segundo uma etimologia interessantíssima, mas não verdadeira). Ozzy lança uma última provocação audaciosa a eles (talvez nós…), como se quisesse dizer “É isso aí, morri, foda-se, terão de me engolir!”.
TODAY IS THE END
A descrição de um cenário apocalíptico em The sun is black / The sky is red … The kids are running / As fast as they can / And it feels like today is the end com o instrumental e o vocal melódicos podem significar duas coisas: primeiro, uma falha e incoerência de fato; ou, por outro lado, a serenidade de quem já esteve diante do inferno (como boa parte das músicas anteriores reforça) e está vendo só mais um.
Considero o tema do fim próximo já estava muito bem encerrada em Under the Graveyard, sinto que essa música é como um filler. Sublinho, apesar disso, que é uma música interessante e bem “moderna”. A melodia é bela e fica na memória, algo realmente mais pop (talvez o maior sinal da parceria com Andrew Watt, que já produziu com Justin Bieber, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, etc. e que o próprio Metal Madman afirmou que adoraria fazer um outro novo trabalho).
A partir desse termo “moderno” lanço mão de uma outra tese acerca desse álbum, a saber, a de que ele é uma aposta para chamar a atenção de pessoas mais jovens, que só ouviram falar de Ozzy Osbourne pelos por parentes ou amigos mais velhos. Com esse som mais leve e melódico, Ozzy não está excluindo ninguém do seu raio. Desenvolvo isso, porém, adiante.
SCARY LITTLE GREEN MEN
“O que essa música está fazendo aqui?”. São palavras da minha cara amiga Larissa Souza - anjo com quem já escrevi um outro texto, dessa vez sobre Depeche Mode. Se Eat Me não foi descontraída o suficiente, Scary Little Green Men veio para tal função. Vejam por vocês mesmos… A letra é ainda assim interessante, mas não sei…
HOLY FOR TONIGHT
O Carpe Diem que um bom poeta deve ter, ou nesse caso, algo como um carpe noctem. A música não é longa, mas a repetição do refrão, que já é repetitivo, passam essa sensação de uma extensão enfadonha… E isso me parece ruim.
IT’S A RAID
Fiquem em casa! Trancados por sete dias (ou mais)...
Essa faixa “encerra” o álbum de maneira ótima, como começou: enérgico e agressivo. Uma verdadeira ring composition. O álbum se salva aqui depois de uma sequência difícil de lidar.
Além de tudo isso, ela traz uma novidade para todos: a parceria com Post Malone. Não me deterei em explicar quem é o tal, mas são nomes que não esperávamos ver juntos. Apesar disso, It’s a Raid não é a primeira parceria de ambos os cantores. Ela data desde o Hollywood’s Bleeding (2019), álbum do rapper americano, na música Take What You Want.
A questão toda dessa faixa é que o Ozzy está se divertindo aqui, como apontado num outro review. Aquela energia, como na primeira música, como em seus clássicos Crazy Train ou Bark at the Moon, nos mostra como o cantor gostaria de se despedir efetivamente após ter relembrado a vida, a carreira e a morte vindoura, fica o recado para que nos lembremos dele enquanto o enérgico pioneiro do heavy metal.
Como já dito (a ideia é da mencionada Larissa), alimentar o espírito ‘rosqueiro’ de alguém é mantê-lo jovem para sempre, Ozzy Osbourne veio se reapresentar para aqueles que já o conhecem e o acompanharam, aqueles que conhecem todas as seis décadas e fases da sua carreira, mas tão importante quanto, veio se apresentar àqueles que não o conhecem e passar adiante tal espírito.
Fuck you all! (ops)... “I love you all” - Ozzy Osbourne
por Gabriel Aquino
