Una fecha que invita a reflexionar sobre las artes escénicas y la oportunidad de convertirlas en una herramienta de expresión, empatía y cambio, en la que renueva el compromiso de seguir formando a artistas investigadores que inspiren, cuestionen y den voz a las realidades que nos rodean: que las tablas sigan siendo nuestro escenario de libertad y creatividad.👪🤩🎉🥳

Hi Dhaaruni, I unfortunately got covid and now I have to spend the next ten days in my room while my roommates bring me food and tea. Any movie/tv/book recommendations to help pass the time? 🥰🥰
Oh nooo, I'm sorry!! Let me try and help you out.
Hacks on HBO Max is really good and it's one 10-episode season of 30-minute episodes so you'll definitely be able to get through it quickly.
All the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings movies are also on HBO Max so that's always fun too
Scenes from a Marriage (also on HBO MAx) is out, and that's the movie Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain were promoting on that viral gif, I haven't seen it yet but I heard their chemistry is great.
Friday Night Lights is on Netflix and yes, I could fix Tim Riggins
Coupling is one of my favorite sitcoms and it's extremely mean and British and on HBO Max and Amazon Prime iirc, I totally recommend it
The Mask of Zorro is on Prime and Catherine Zeta-Jones is #goals in that movie to the max
What Happened by Hillary Rodham Clinton, which made me cry but in a not awful way (pair it with The Destruction of Hillary Clinton by Susan Bordo)
The Maiden Lane series by Elizabeth Hoyt is generally very good (minus books 7-10, which are markedly worse than the rest of them) and they're like amazingly sexy romantic thrillers, like huge fan tbh.
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez like if you want to be angry at the world, this is your book
And His Lovely Wife: A Memoir from the Woman Beside the Man by Connie Schultz, like Connie and her husband (aka Senator Sherrod Brown) are #TrueLove and I'm so glad they're representing Ohio
Women & Power by Mary Beard, which is an excellent manifesto of sorts
Open Book by Jessica Simpson like if you thought Taylor Swift was lying about John Mayer being a dick, here's another million examples of why that man should never be allowed around any woman ever, #JusticeForJessica tbh like she's so much smarter and cooler than anybody ever gave her credit for.

Movie Night (Javier x Reader) {MTMF}
Title: Movie Night Rating: PG-13  Length: 2900 Warnings: Slight voyeurism, light smut (teasing in public).  Notes: You can find everything about Maybe Today, Maybe Forever here. Set January 1999. Two days without MTMF, did you miss me? I’ve been working on this over the past two days, trying to get my desire to write back after the unpleasantness.  Summary: Family movie night is always an event.

After the girls had gotten their fill of watching Mulan for the dozenth time, you and Steve helped them set up a pillow fort in the middle of the family room floor, while Javier, Monica, and Nadia ran a relay team on bringing popcorn and Capri Sun out to keep them occupied while the six of you tried to enjoy The Mask of Zorro. 
“I wanted sweet popcorn.” Josie huffed a little, but shoveled a handful of popcorn into her mouth, before retreating back into the pillow fort with Olivia and a full bowl of popcorn. 
“Please don’t let Sofía eat any.” You warned.
Olivia poked her head out, “Sofía is sleeping.” She told you as she shushed you. 
“Hey, no.” Steve shook his head. 
“It’s fine,” You assured him before turning towards Javier as he returned with two glasses of wine and a bottle tucked under his arm. “Classy.”
He winked at you, “Figured we could do something different for movie night.”
You took your glass from him and took a sip, “You read my mind.” You took the bottle from him, sitting it down on the coffee table beside your glass of wine. “Girls, do you have everything you need?”
“Yes!” They called back.
“I finally got the movie rewound,” Connie announced as she flopped down onto the opposite side of the sofa, beckoning Steve to her. 
“Has no one ever heard ‘be kind, rewind’?” Steve chuckled as he sank down beside her and stretched his legs out to rest his feet on the coffee table. 
“I don’t get why Blockbuster doesn’t just check every VHS,” Nadia pointed as she joined Monica on the armchair, “I kinda hope one day there’s an easier way to watch a movie.” 
Monica popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth, “You mean like your crazy idea for being able to watch movies at home with the touch of a button?”
“It’s not that crazy,” Nadia protested, nodding her head towards Javier. “He agreed with me.”
“Yeah,” Javier said as he sat down beside you. “Picture it — any movie you want, right on your TV.” He draped his arm around you.
You grabbed the blanket off the back of the sofa, pulling it over your lap and curling up beneath it and leaning into Javier’s side.
“I dunno, Peña.” Steve hummed thoughtfully. “Seems like it might require a lot of storage.” 
“It could work.” Javier picked up the edge of the blanket, situating it so it was over both of your laps. “You know,” He said to you. “I realized why you wanted to see this movie.”
“Oh?” You smirked at him, pulling your arm out from beneath the blanket to play your fingers through his hair. 
“Antonio.” He arched a brow at you.
You scrunched up your nose, “Like you don’t love Catherine Zeta-Jones.” You teased, tugging at his hair before you leaned forward to grab your glass of wine, taking a sip. 
Monica arched a brow, “I can see that.”
“Right?” You laughed, settling back into Javier’s side, sliding your arm behind him. “Steve, who’s on your list?”
“My what?”
“Your freebie.” You laughed, enjoying the brief look of panic on his face as he looked towards Connie. “You know, who would you get a freebie with if the opportunity arose?”
“Uh,” Steve scratched behind his ear. “I don’t know—“
Connie interrupted her, “Mine is definitely Harrison Ford. Though, Bruce Willis has a certain appeal too.”
“Does everyone have a list?” Steve looked towards Monica and Nadia. 
Monica shrugged, “It would be a fight over Kate Winslet or Winona Ryder.” 
Nadia popped a handful of popcorn into her mouth, “Definitely Winona.”
Steve gave you a weary list, “What the f-u-c-k?”
You couldn’t help but laugh, “Sorry?”
He raked his hand over his face, sighing heavily as he looked towards Connie, “Michelle Pfeiffer, I guess.”
“Really?” She hummed thoughtfully. “I guess I can see that.” Connie looked towards you then, “I thought you had a thing for George Clooney?”
“I go through phases.”
Javier squeezed your thigh under the blanket, “Let’s not forget your Kevin Costner phase. I don’t know how many times we’ve watched Robin Hood.”
“I cannot tell a lie, my taste varies.” You leaned your head against his shoulder, pressing your thigh against his beneath the cover. “You also love what’s her face from Jurassic Park.”
“Who?” Steve questioned.
Monica perked up, “Laura Dern?”
“Yeah! Her.” You nodded, nudging Javier in the ribs.
Javier shrugged, “I came for the dinosaurs and stayed for Dr. Sattler.” 
“Now that we’ve gone down that path, how about we start the movie?” Connie suggested as she picked up the remote and hit play. 
“For the record,” You interjected. “Sam Neill could get it.”
“Yes!” Connie agreed with a laugh as she grinned at you. 
Steve and Javier exchanged looks and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes. 
You pulled the blanket up around your arms as you shifted beside him. Javier wrapped his arm around your shoulders, maneuvering you so your head was resting against his chest more comfortably. 
“You should grow your hair out again,” You told Javier as you tilted your head to look at him, before looking between him and the TV screen. 
“And look like a prisoner?” His brows rose upwards as he looked down at you, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. 
You reached up and brushed your fingers over the hair that fell against his forehead, “I like the unkempt look.” You ran your hand over his chest as you leaned in to kiss him. 
He brushed his nose against yours as he drew back from the kiss, “Summer isn’t too far away, baby.”
“It’s January.” You laughed softly, shaking your head as you dragged your fingers through his too-short hair. “I guess I’ll just have to get my fill of unkempt from Zorro.” You sighed dramatically before turning your gaze back to the screen — watching as Alejandro and Joaquin got out of their predicament. 
Javier’s hand idly stroked your bare leg beneath the blanket, his touch warming you far better than even the blanket had. 
Chewing on your bottom lip, you tilt your head just enough to catch Javier’s gaze. He canted his head to the left, a brow arching upwards curiously as his fingers trailed along your inner thigh, rising up to skim just beneath the bottom of your shorts. 
Oh.
You punctuated your nod with a quick kiss, before turning back to watch the TV, just in time to watch Joaquin meet his early demise. 
You shifted beneath the blanket, letting your legs part far enough to accommodate Javi’s wandering hand. His touches were teasing — his fingers skimmed up your inner thigh, barely brushing over the crotch of your underwear, before retreating back down your thigh. 
It made concentrating on the movie a little more difficult. 
And no one was aware. You glanced towards Monica and Nadia — both of whom were staring at the screen and eating popcorn. Steve and Connie were whispering to each other, their gaze fixed on the screen too. 
You leaned forward to pick up your wine glass and your own bowl of popcorn. You took a sip of wine, sitting the bowl down on the blanket where your leg was pressed against Javier’s. “You want your wine?” 
“Yeah, baby.” Javier pulled his hand out from under the blanket and dragged his fingers through his hair. 
You took another sip before sitting your glass back down and picking up his. Javier brushed his fingers against yours as he took the glass from you, a smirk playing over his lips as he met your eyes over the rim of the wine glass as he took a sip. 
Both of you managed to behave yourselves as the movie progressed — right up until the scene between Elena and Zorro in the confessional. 
Your hand slid back beneath the blanket, watching him out of the corner of your eye as your fingers ghosted over his cock through the heavy fabric of his jeans. 
His ring clinked against the side of the Corelle bowl holding the popcorn between your laps and you froze. No one else seemed to notice — too focused on the film, as Love pursued Zorro. If they had noticed, Javier played it off like he was sitting the popcorn aside on the arm of the sofa. 
He relaxed back against the cushion, exhaling slowly as he gave a short nod of his head. Neither of you were bold enough to do much more than grope each other — not when everyone and the children were right there, but the thrill was there nevertheless. 
You bit down on your bottom lip, your eyes fixed on the TV as you cupped him more intentionally, rubbing your thumb down the length of him. His jeans kept him confined, but you could still feel the way he hardened beneath your touch. 
Javier cleared his throat, using that as an excuse to unwind his arm from around you and tuck it under the blanket. He slid his arm beneath yours, his hand grabbing at your thigh possessively. 
“Can we pause real quick?” Monica interjected, “I need to use the restroom.”
“Yeah,” You sat up a little straighter then, “Connie do you still have the remote?”
“Yep!” Connie fumbled for it on the sofa, before hitting pause. 
Javier reached for the bowl of popcorn again, sitting it on his lap as he grabbed a few pieces and popped them into his mouth, giving you a sideways look. 
“I think I’m going to go put Sofía down,” You announced as you rose to your feet, stretching your arms above your head. 
You glanced back at Javier, watching the way he was watching you. You knelt down to peel Sofía out from the pillow fort, laughing at the mess the girls had managed to make with the popcorn — kernels and pieces of popcorn strewn across the floor.
Josie whispered to you, “We were feeding Bruno.” She pointed to her Beanie Baby. 
“You’re lucky I’m in a good mood,” You teased her, cradling Sofía to your chest as you stood back up. “Hey Javi, do you mind helping me with Sofía?”
You weren’t sure you had ever seen Javier move as swiftly as he did. He was up and off the sofa, following you down the hallway to the nursery. 
“I haven’t seen you move like that since 1987.” You taunted as you bounced Sofía in your arms, turning back to look at him as he lingered in the threshold. 
Javier snorted, “What can I say, baby? I’ve been incentivized.” He dragged his fingers through his hair as he leaned against the doorframe. 
You smirked, “We didn’t even make it to the kiss.” 
Javier rubbed at the side of his neck as he stepped further into the room. “It’s not like we don’t know what happens.” You pointed out as you settled your daughter into her crib. “We need to do another movie night. Just the two of us.” 
He nodded his head slowly, “That new Star Wars film is out in a couple months.” 
“May, right?” You questioned as you leaned down to kiss Sofia’s head, before walking away from the bed. “Is this a date, Javi?”
Javier clicked his tongue against his teeth, “I’ll never stop dating you, baby.” He told you as you approached him. 
“What a sap,” You scrunched up your nose and rolled your eyes as you reached out and draped your arms over his shoulders. “Have you always been this much of a sap?”
He rocked his jaw as he stared down at you, “Back in the 80s, I met someone who turned me into a sap.”
You snapped your fingers, “I bet it was that fucking Murphy character.” 
Javier chuckled, “Bingo.” He ran his hands along your waist as he leaned down to kiss you, a slow kiss that only served to stoke the fire you felt in your veins. 
A soft moan escaped you as your lips parted against his, your fingers winding through the hair at the nape of his neck. 
He squeezed your hip, “We should go back out there.”
You nodded, brushing your nose against his. “As soon as they’re gone…” Your brows rose upwards and you caught his bottom lip between your teeth. 
Javier pulled you towards him abruptly, your chests pressed together. “I’m counting the minutes, baby.” He assured you as he kissed you again, his tongue invading your mouth — winding you up, only to abandon you. 
You trailed after him down the hallway, grabbing his ass before you stepped around him and his scandalized expression, as you made your way back to the sofa. You grabbed your wine glass, finishing off the last of it. 
“Did she go down easily?” Connie questioned as she tucked her legs beneath her. 
“Surprisingly easy.” You nodded, rubbing your thumb over your bottom lip as you glanced over the back of the sofa at Javier. 
“Olivia had to go potty.” She explained, pulling your attention back to her. “Steve’s handling it.”
Javier settled back down on the sofa beside you, stretching his legs out and propping them up on the coffee table in front of him. “Should’ve known they’d need a potty break.” 
Monica laughed, “And here I thought you two were going to have your own bathroom break.” 
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” You rolled your eyes and flipped her off with a grin as you shifted so you were laying across his lap with your head propped up on the arm of the sofa. “We are capable of behaving. Shocking as it might be.”
“Barely,” Javier admitted, stroking his fingers over your hair as he looked down at you with a smirk before turning his attention back to Monica. “You enjoying the film?” 
Monica shrugged, “It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s enjoyable.”
You feigned offense, “Sacrilege. The Murphys are your parents now.”
“Rude!” She gave a look. “Did I criticize your taste in men? Because I could go there if you’d like me to.”
“Javier is sitting right here.” You laughed, turning to look up at him with a grin. 
“Exactly,” Monica shook her head. “I’m just saying, your taste is suspect. I respect it but…” 
You shrugged, “I didn’t choose to fall in love with a man who still dresses like it’s the seventies, but I’ve come to terms with that.”
“Baby… Shots fired.” Javier pursed his lips as he looked down at you. 
“Are we roasting, Javier?” Steve questioned as he returned to the family room, sending Olivia back into the blanket fortress. “Because there’s a grill out back we can roast him on.”
“If you bring up the fucking burnt burgers—“
“Daddy!” Josie popped her head out. “You said a naughty word.”
“JoJo, not now.”
“Mommy, he said a bad word!”
You started laughing and quickly it spiraled out of control to the point that you were laughing so hard you ended up crying. 
“You better believe I’m going to bring up burnt burgers,” Steve continued. “How the hell-“
“Daddy!” Olivia popped her head out of the fort beside Josie. 
“Stephen.” Connie scolded him. 
You started laughing even harder, sitting up and coughing as you tried to catch your breath. “I’m wheezing.”
“Baby, it’s not that funny.” Javier complained, but that barely deterred him. “You’ve got a lot of balls bringing that up Murphy… Or, actually not, come to think of it.”
“Ouch, Peña.” Steve huffed. “That’s a below the belt jab.”
Javier rolled a shoulder, “Bringing up one grilling mistake for the rest of my life sure seems like a below the belt jab.” His brows rose upwards warningly. “At least I don’t still go duck hunting.”
“Says the man who enjoys going skeet shooting.” Steve shot back. 
“I enjoy skeet when the company’s not being a jackass.”
“Javier!” You slapped his thigh.
Josie seemed to have the answer for stopping the two grown children from fighting. She emerged from the blanket fort, hands on her hips and glared at Javier. 
“Fuck!”
Everyone stopped at that. 
“Josie!” You snapped. 
“Joséfina Selina Peña.” Javier hissed out.
“Finally some peas and quiet.” Josie sighed dramatically and retreated back into the fort. 
“Our daddies are such gophers.” Olivia said as she pulled the blanket entrance shut. 
“Gophers.” Monica parroted, which sent all of you back into a spiral of laughter. 
“More like whack-a-mole.” You pointed out with a snort as you grabbed for the remote. “We’ve got half a movie left to watch and one of the best kiss scenes in modern film. Less bickering, gentlemen.”
“We’re not bickering.” Javier insisted as he sank back down onto the sofa, dragging his fingers through his hair. “But you’re right about the kiss.”
“Thank you.” You winked at him. “Who doesn’t love a sexy sword fight followed by a different kind of sword fight.”
You hit the play button, tossing the remote aside as you settled in against Javier. “Doesn’t beat our kisses, though.” You assured him as you pressed a kiss to his cheek. 
He turned to grin at you, “Not even close.” Javier rested his hand on your thigh, rubbing his thumb against your skin. “I love you.” He whispered. 
You grinned to yourself. “I love you too.” You told him curling your arm around behind him as you settled your cheek against his shoulder.

„Noch mehr Abenteuer mit Ratte Prinz und Rapunzel“ Annette Paul
Tumblr media
Illustriert von Krisi Sz.-Pöhls Eine adelige Ratte und ein pfiffiges Mädchen Annette Paul und Krisi Sz.-Pöhls (ist für die Illustration zuständig) haben mir während unseres Umzugs mit diesem Rezensionsexemplar "Noch mehr Abenteuer von Ratte Prinz und Rapunzel" eine große Freude gemacht. Wer schon einmal umgezogen ist, weiß wie viel sich, wenn man zwanzig Jahre in einer Wohnung gelebt, geheiratet hat und aus zwei Haushalten einer wurde, wie viel „Krempel“ sich angesammelt hat. Da hat man abends keinen Nerv einen anspruchsvoll langen Roman zu lesen. Aber da werde ich gerne wieder zum Kind und lese die Abenteuergeschichten von Rapunzel und ihrem Prinzen. Als Erstes kommt Luises Buchvorstellung für die Kinder Nicht, dass es vergessen wird, möchte ich gleich noch einmal darauf hinweisen, dass Prinz einem alten Adelsgeschlecht der Ratten entspringt und etwas ganz Besonderes ist. Es ist mir eine große Ehre, ihn schon interviewt zu haben! Ihr wollt das Interview lesen? Hier entlang: In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich euch auch Luise vorstellen, meine Co-Moderatorin für die Kinder- und Jugendbücher. Luise ist das jüngste Mitglied unseres Haushalts. Sie liest sehr gerne und ist auch kritisch, wie ein klitzekleines Büchernörgeli. Lasst uns alle Luise willkommen heißen! Die Abenteuer von Ratte Prinz und Rapunzel sind unsere erste gemeinsame Buchvorstellung. Manche von euch kennen vielleicht schon andere Bücher über Ratte Prinz und Rapunzel. Wenn nicht, ich stelle euch das Buch, "Ratte Prinz im Weihnachtsbaum" vor. Und das Interview ist auch ganz wichtig. Ist er nicht ein ganz süßer und hübscher Prinz? Das Interview Connie ist übrigens vom Alter her schon eine Großmutter, aber im Herzen immer noch ein Kind, das Kinderbücher liebt. Und als Hilfe hat sie ja mich, die Luise. Worum geht es? Es geht um eine Familie mit sechs Kindern und Ratte Prinz. Stellt dir vor, du hast eine adelige Ratte, die du fast immer dabeihast! Dann kannst du dir vielleicht vorstellen, dass die Zwei ganz schöne Abenteuer erleben. „Winnetou, Zorro, Rosenrot, Schneeweißchen und Cäsar sind Rapunzels Geschwister. Nachtigall und Picasso sind ihre Eltern. In dieser verrückten Großfamilie Reimers haben alle komische Spitznamen.“ Auszug aus "Noch mehr Abenteuer mit Ratte Prinz und Rapunzel" Annette Paul Ihre Mutter wird Nachtigall genannt, weil sie Sängerin ist. Ihr Vater hat den Spitznamen Picasso, weil er Maler ist. Der älteste Bruder Winnetou will immer mit allen Frieden schließen. Zorro ist der Rächer aller Benachteiligten. Ihre Schwestern Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot sind Zwillinge und haben immer mit dem Bernhardiner der Großeltern gekuschelt. Der jüngste Bruder ist Cäsar, der immer alle herumkommandieren will. Rapunzel ist das Nesthäkchen und hat den Namen, seitdem sie Ratte Prinz gerettet hat. Falls ihr die Figuren der oben genannten Namen nicht kennt, lasst sie euch von den Eltern, Freunden oder Großeltern erzählen. Dann versteht ihr bestimmt, was die einzelnen Familienmitglieder mit den Figuren gemeinsam haben oder warum sie sich ähnlich sind. Prinz und Rapunzel erleben aufregende Abenteuer. Manche sind lustig, manche ärgern sie. Zum Beispiel der Besuch im Blumenladen hat die beiden sehr verärgert. Und die Halloweentour hat Prinz sogar ein bisschen wehgetan. Kurz und gut: Ich fand das Buch richtig spannend und habe mich auch ein wenig in Prinz verliebt. Das dürft ihr aber niemanden erzählen. Schneeweißchen und Rosenrot kannte ich noch nicht, aber Connie hat mir das Märchen dann erzählt. Und auch von dem großen Caesar.  Der war ein alter Römer und hat Latein gesprochen. Also, wenn ihr jemanden nicht kennt, fragt eure Freunde und Familie. Dann erfahrt ihr noch mehr Geschichten! So, das war es für heute! Wir sehen uns bald wieder mit einem neuen Kinderbuch! Ich gebe zurück zu Connie in das Studio! Ich wünsche allen schöne Weihnachten! Buchvorstellung für die erwachsenen Kinder Vielen Dank liebe Luise für die schöne Buchvorstellung! Und ich bin ganz einverstanden: Die Geschichten von der adeligen Ratte und dem pfiffigen Mädchen machen richtig Spaß. Annette Paul hat die einzelnen Geschichten so geschrieben, dass sie genau die richtige Länge haben, dass sie vor dem Schlafen gehen, vorgelesen werden können. Die Sprache ist kindgerecht! Auch für junge Leser schon geeignet. Es sind kleine Abenteuer, die Kinder verstehen und nachvollziehen können, weil sie zum Alltag gehören. Etwas ungewöhnlicher, aber sehr putzig ist die Geschichte einer Ratte, die Geld verdienen will! Und natürlich gehen alle in den Zoo. Und dann kommt noch die böse Zeit der Zeugnisse. Kann Prinz hier helfen? Und jedes Kind beneidet Rapunzel um die adelige Ratte Prinz. Wer hätte nicht gerne so eine Ratte? Ein Haustier, dem man alles anvertrauen kann und das alles versteht. Genau so jemand ist Ratte Prinz. Ich muss zugeben, auch ich bin ein wenig verliebt in Prinz. Krisi Sz.-Pöhls hat Prinz so liebevoll porträtiert und Annette Paul hat die Abenteuer von Prinz und Rapunzel spannend für uns aufgeschrieben. Lieben Dank für das Rezensionsexemplar. Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß beim Lesen! Links zum Buch Probeschmökern bei Annette Paul Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

And the stars look very different, today
Dicono che in Texas tutto sia più grande. Maximilian Lee ha scoperto che lo dicono perchè, effettivamente, in Texas è tutto più grande.
La base della Gifted Alliance di Houston non è nemmeno a Houston- è troppo grande per Houston. E’ fuori città, nascosta dietro pannelli riflettenti ad alta tecnologia e potentissimi jammer antilocalizzazione, in pieno deserto, come un’oasi. O come la fortezza di uno shah, più precisamente. Una piccola cittadella militare che si ingoierebbe la base di Philly in un paio di bocconi. A cielo aperto, con una sua microeconomia, alimentata a energia sostenibile.
Quando gli mostrano il suo ufficio, si rende conto che quello che aveva quando era Preside ci entrerebbe comodamente, messo accanto a quello che aspetta un suo ritorno a Philadelphia.
Quando gli mostrano i suoi alloggi, poi, inizia a chiedersi esattamente come facciano, a Houston, a passarsela così tanto meglio che a Philadelphia.
Si risolve ad osservare che, dopotutto, l’ha sempre detto che le dimensioni contano.
L’ordine che vige, è militare, nonostante il clima cameratesco. L’aria che si respira, la mentalità che si respira, è profondamente diversa da quella nei corridoi della base nel Desert Side: la Gifted Alliance di Houston è una macchina da guerra e nessuno si illude del contrario.
E a lui bastano un paio di boccate d’aria per trovarsi a proprio agio li.
Nel nuovo lavoro, ci si getta a capofitto. Come Comandante ad interim, dirigere la base e le operazioni della cellula è solo una parte delle sue mansioni- quella che svolge perchè non c’è nessun altro per farlo: la porzione più importante, è trovare qualcuno che lo faccia al posto suo. I giorni successivi all’arrivo passano in un caleidoscopio di facce e posti nuovi, incontri, conferenze, briefing e debriefing, inframezzati dall’occasionale videochiamata a Philadelphia, i volti familiari attraverso le telecamere ad alta definizione, la voce suadente di Iris Carter dall’abitacolo della Honda nel cortile della casa di Arthur e Mike in New Jersey.
Negli stivali ci calza come se ci fosse nato dentro- degli speroni non avrebbe bisogno ma toglierli è peccato, molto meglio imparare ad andare a cavallo. La stella dei Texas Rangers viene incisa a inchiostro, indelebile, sulla pelle poco dopo, il cappello segue quasi per inerzia- ci vuole un’opera di convincimento ad opera del buon senso della madre dei suoi figli per fare sparire invece il baffo.
Tumblr media
“Pensavo di non essere da solo nel crescerla.”
“Well, that's life for you, Connie.”
L’odore pungente del sigaro permea l’ufficio, nella bocca si è mischiato con il sapore del whiskey- lo stesso che gli è andato di traverso quando Connor gli ha annunciato di aver preso fuoco.
“E adesso non farmi il melodrammatico, non sei solo. Ma sei il solo padre che ha.”
“Si, certo, ma tu non sarai qui.”
Attraverso lo schermo gli viene difficile leggere gli sguardi, interpretare le espressioni, intuire gli stati d’animo. Improvvisamente, persone che sono sempre state libri aperti per lui da leggere diventano più lontane di quello che vorrebbe. Si affida all’istinto, li dove nemmeno l’audio di casse e microfoni di ultima generazione può mostrare tutti i colori del tono di una voce- ben consapevole del fatto che un’immagine su uno schermo non può sostituire un abbraccio, e nemmeno uno sguardo.
“Chi mi rimprovererà per le pappette sbagliate e tutto il resto?”
“Nessuno.”
“...”
“E forse è la cosa migliore. Perchè è ora che non ci sia più bisogno di farlo. I'll always be here, Connie. Just one call away. But you're ready to stand up by yourself.”
“Quindi... Non si scappa più. Neanche se le sfide diventano difficili da affrontare.”
“ Non si scappa più.”
“Che palle... Sei diventato fin troppo saggio per l'età che hai.”
“Yeah, ho deciso di passare dall'essere un eroe all'essere un allenatore di eroi, how does it suit me?”
Parlare con Connor lascia il sapore dolceamaro di un “arrivederci” nella bocca. Gli speroni tintinnano mentre infila il cappello sulla testa prima di sbucare nel sole rovente della piazza centrale della base, ringraziando con un cenno il Ribelle che gli passa il tablet con le ultime informazioni sui sondaggi tra la popolazione Superumana non registrata di Houston. Una schiera di Ribelli è in ordine preciso come aveva chiesto di farsi trovare, file ordinate sotto il sole cocente. Lui cerca per se un pezzo di ombra, prima di dare il via alla sessione di addestramento fisico, e spirituale. Gli hanno chiesto di trovare un nuovo Comandante.
Per farlo, lui ha deciso di costruire un esercito.
“Eastwood. Clint, Eastwood.”
“Amore, lo so che è un eroe ed un vero Americano ma... Non va bene. E no. Non va bene nemmeno solo Clint. No, nemmeno solo Eastwood.”
“...Lee Van Cleef?”
“Max...”
“What about... DJANGO?”
“Papà... Forse è ora che ti prendi una pausa.”
“Papà sta benissimo, Zoe. Lone Ranger?”
“Non puoi essere Lone Ranger, papa, non vuoi metterti la maschera.”
“Point taken, principessa Iris. Zorro?”
“No, nemmeno Zorro.”
“A me piace, Zorro...”
“James, non incoraggiarlo.”
“Papà, Holly non sa tenere su la testa ma altrimenti direbbe di no anche lei.”
“A me piace se papà fa Lone Ranger!”
“Johnny, tu sei stupido.”
“No, tu sei stupida!”
“Bambini...”
“Ha cominciato Iris, mamma!”
“Non è vero!”
“Si che è vero!”
“SHHHH! Ce l’ho. Trinità. La mano destra del Diavolo.”
“...”
“Maximilian... Lo sai, vero, che il primo pensiero di tutta la base se ti fai chiamare Trinity andrà a Matrix?”
“Sciocchezze.”
Disse Maximilian Ethan Lee, anche noto come Commander Trinity, senza sapere ancora di starsi tirando addosso il più alto tasso di battute dietro le spalle che un Comandante di Houston abbia mai avuto.
Anche a Houston fa caldo, la sera.
Nella loro nuova casa, lui ha disposto una veranda che somiglia molto a quella casa in riva al fiume dove Holly ha sfornato i suoi primi sorrisi ad una mamma ed un papà orgogliosissimi (ma più a papà). Sotto un cielo trapunto di stelle, più stelle di quante abbiano mai splenduto sul tetto di casa Lee, c’è il profumo della lavanda in fiore, delle rose di maggio e della salvia, il cigolio lieve delle molle di un dondolo,
“Cristo, Signol Li, non è un pollo!”
“Le cosce sono parti importanti di una donna.”
“Maximilian Lee, resta qui tra noi due e non andare a fare la portinaia. Te lo concedo solo con Iris, se proprio vuoi dare vento alla tua boccaccia troppo larga.“
“Honestly, Brendan, mi chiamo Matt Simmons per caso?”
L’ha già capito, ma stuzzicare un poco Brendan fa parte del gioco. E ancora prima che il successivo “Ti saluta Andrea.”, rassegnato, arrivi, lui si sente già il cuore più leggero. Il pensiero di non dover lasciare Brendan da solo, di avere qualcuno che veglia sul suo migliore amico, figlio, fratello, qualcuno di cui si fida, qualcuno di cui ha stima, è un macigno che improvvisamente permette di pensare al lungo termine. Non c’è fretta di tornare a casa. Everybody’s gonna be alright.
“Ha delle belle cosce. Belle davvero.“
“”Ricambia i saluti, le manderò un messaggio, poi.”
“Fai il bravo.”
“Comunque concordo: ha un gran bel paio di cosce.“
E per parte sua, a parte le cosce di Scout, gli augura ogni bene. Lo fa a modo suo, che sono due rottami e peggio di come stanno non può essere quindi le probabilità sono dalla loro, ma lo fa.
“Johnny mi ha chiesto di dirti che gli manchi. He said: "tell uncle Bren I miss him a very big much lot and I love him." And I will be missing you too, my boy”
“Digli che è lui il principino di casa e deve essere un bravo fratellone. I will miss him and I love him very much. Ogni tanto manderò qualche giocattolo alla truppa Sia mai sentano la mancanza del loro zio preferito. I will miss you too. Be good. Be brave.”
Quando hanno traslocato da Philadelphia, in nessuna delle loro tre macchine c’è stato spazio per la culla di Olympia. Quella culla che le ha messo insieme con tutto il proprio amore, una mezzaluna riempita di cristalli di luce, la culla dove Iphigenia Clark, che oggi piange a guardarla da una videochiamata, le ha fatto la prima visita, la culla del suo primo sonnellino, la culla dei suoi primi tre mesi. A Max sembra che manchi qualcosa ogni volta che guarda nella cameretta di legno di sua figlia che dorme, sempre sotto i cristalli della donna per la quale l’arcobaleno ha brillato per tre giorni, ma non nella sicurezza del giaciglio che suo padre ha costruito per lei.
Così si mette a lavoro. Impiega le ore libere di nascosto, facendosi insultare (e perdonare quando fanno l’amore) dalla fidanzata con il brillante all’anulare, graffiandosi le mani e consumandosele un po’. Fino a quando, dai ciocchi di legno modellati e levigati, non nasce una nuova culla, una culla per la bambina, che è anche culla per la madre, una sedia a dondolo lucida, con quella culla, dal sapore un po’ antico. La lascia dondolare li, sotto le pareti calde, alla luce del sole di inizio Settembre, col profumo del legno che si mischia a quello degli olii di camomilla.
E Houston che inizia davvero a sapere di casa.
Tumblr media
“Dad?”
“Yeah, Zoe?”
“Are we gonna stay here forever?”
“Forever is a very long time, my child.”
“I know that. You know what I mean.”
I capelli di Zoe sono del colore del fuoco nel tramonto sul deserto. Le gambe lunghe di muscoli nervosi della figlia sono arrampicate sulla stessa staccionata su cui siede lui, solo la prateria, la polvere, sabbia e rocce davanti, la vita brulicante della base dietro.
“I do.”
ll grosso cappello a falda larga bianco calza grande sulla testa di lei quando ce lo poggia- solo le onde arruffate dal vento della chioma fiammeggiante gli permettono di non caderle sul naso. Nasconde con quel gesto una carezza, incurante dei raggi arancioni che scottano sul viso rimasto esposto.
“So?”
“So one day, when you’re older, you’ll find yourself far less concerned with how long things are gonna last for. Things last for the exact amount of time they’re supposed to last for. Might that be a day or a week, or a year ot ten. Now, I know this does not answer your question...”
Prevede il sopracciglio che si alza, e quando guarda il viso di Zoe lo trova li, come preventivato, nella stessa piega identica degli sguardi di sufficienza che gli rivolge sua madre. Le labbra si piegano in un sorriso divertito, prima che gli occhi scuri si posino sull’orizzonte.
“...But the thing is that I don’t know if we’re gonna stay here forever. This world, this Earth, it changes far too quickly for us to predict where will we be tomorrow, let alone in ten years from now. And the truth is... That it doesn’t really matter.”
“What do you mean “it doesn’t really matter”?”
“I mean that as long as you keep going, as long as you keep learning, as long as you keep sharing what you learned and filling your life with things that are worth living and fighting for, there will always be one more door to open and walk through, even if you live in one single spot all your life. After all, life itself is a road... Life is a journey. And I’m just glad that I can share the story of my journey with you kids, so that you can learn from it and, one day, be better men and better women than even your parents ever were.”
Tumblr media
“Dad?”
“Yes?”
“Is this the end of your story?”

Agnes Martí es una arqueóloga en paro que se ha mudado a Londres en busca de una oportunidad laboral. Una tarde, desanimada y triste por su poco éxito profesional, tropieza en el corazón del barrio del Temple con el pomo de una puerta en forma de pluma, el sonido de unas lúgubres campanillas y el hermoso rótulo azul de Moonlight Books. La librería, regentada con encantador ceño fruncido por Edward Livingstone, debe su nombre a un espectacular techo de cristal que permite contemplar la luna y las estrellas en las noches despejadas. Intrigada por la personalidad y el sentido del humor del señor Livingstone, Agnes decide aceptar la oferta de convertirse en ayudante del librero mientras continúa su búsqueda de trabajo. El té de la tarde en el rincón de los románticos, las visitas de Mr. Magoo, las conversaciones con la bella editora de Edward, las cenas junto a la chimenea del Darkness and Shadow y la buena lectura convencerán a Agnes de que la felicidad está en los pequeños detalles cotidianos. Pero aunque Moonlight Books podría parecer un oasis de paz en el acelerado Londres, las extrañas campanillas de su puerta daran paso a los sucesos más inesperados: una noche de tormenta, el inspector John Lockwood...Una comedia muy feelgood, con un toque Wodehouse irresistible. Un homenaje de la autora a sus libros y escritores favoritos."—¿Qué está leyendo? —Agnes le mostró la cubierta de "Por no mencionar al perro", de Connie Willis. —Primero habrá leído la novela de Jerome.—Tal y como usted me recomendó.—Buena chica —El señor Livingstone consultó su reloj de bolsillo y decidió dar la tarde por concluida—. Parece que hoy no vamos a vender más libros. Los londinenses creen en una leyenda no escrita que asegura que es mucho más divertido concentrar todas las compras en la hora anterior al cierre de la librería, el 24 de diciembre. ¿Por qué no aprovecha y va a esa exposición en la Tate, de Turner y sus malditas ruinas griegas, por la que suspiraba ayer?—¿No le importa que me marche antes? —se animó con la propuesta.El señor Livingstone miró significativamente su pipa y su precioso libro ilustrado y la observó por encima de las gafas sin montura.—Podré con el estrés.—¿Por qué no me acompaña?—Los ingleses no vamos a exposiciones de Turner, preferimos otras actividades más ennoblecedoras como la caza del zorro o el críquet —bromeó el librero—. Pero ahora que menciono al pintor, me recuerda que si quiere seguir sentándose en estos sillones y mantener intacto su honor, debe leer esto..."

RETURN OF THE BRACKET: ROUND 1 MATCH 8: Pearl vs Zorro
A sword collector with a song about risking your life, in battle with a sword, for the person you love... vs the vigilante hero who some consider the first superhero, who inspired a few other characters in this tournament!
Tumblr media
VS
Tumblr media
Summaries under the cut:
Pearl is the character who trained one of our other contestants, Connie, in swordsmanship, and she's very skilled with that sabre. She also collects swords as a hobby. She sees herself as a knight dedicated to fighting to protect the person she loves, and has a song about this obsessive level of dedication and how willing she is to risk her life in combat; the episode this song comes from is called "Sworn To The Sword" [incidentally, this is one of those phrases that seems designed to make you mispronounce one or the other word. Like Sean Bean.]. Her primary weapon in modern times is a spear, but she can shorten it and turn it into a sword, and in flashbacks she used the sabre and apparently dual-wields swords at one point but I couldn't find an image of that.
Zorro, meanwhile, has been an iconic swordsman for over 100 years through various different adaptations of the story. I'm using an image from the Tyrone Power film because Tyrone Power was the most skilled fencer to portray him (the first film with Douglas Fairbanks was very much stage fighting, fun though it can be), but all versions of Zorro count for this. Yes, including Antonio Banderas' version even though he's not playing the original Zorro but his successor. I mean, he has That swordfight with Catherine Zeta-Jones, it would be sabotage to not allow that in here (the original Wilkinson Sword couple?) His famous trademark of carving a Z in his opponents' cheek or their clothing shows impressive precision with a blade and he's even been shown to somehow pick a lock with the tip of his sword.
