Margharyta Liaŭčuk as Cunegonde in "Candide", Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre

To me, the most impressive part was "Glitter and Be Gay" - the performance left us in chills down our spines - and the lighting, the way she took those high notes! It could have been the perfect psychological horror movie scene. Unfortunately, I can't find the photos from it. Maybe I'll do some sketches.

Hello, do you have any marauders fic recs? I’m a big marauders fan but I’m so tired of reading fics where they feel completely out of character, and I feel like you might know something I don’t

Aw man I’m the wrong person to ask for this, I don’t really read fics very often lol. I’ll try to enlist the help of some people whose Marauders opinions I trust and who might have better recs than me (tbh I’m also curious to hear), but I’ll share the few that I’ve come across, too. Apologies if you've already read them.

I think my most relevant rec is The Night Will Always Win by betweenfactandbreakfast, which is a canon-compliant Marauders era fic from 1975-1981. Admittedly I haven’t finished it – tbh I liked it so much that I had to stop reading it, which sounds so incredibly dumb now that I wrote it out, but I was legitimately getting pissed off that I had to do things in real life instead of reading it lmao. Time to take a step back...! Either way, I’ve really enjoyed it so far. And I’ve seen @seriousbrat's inbox turn into a battleground of endless Snape vs. Marauders discourse, so I know their feelings on the characters are pretty similar to mine lol (and hiii I know you have been in this fandom for much longer than I have, so maybe you have some good recommendations?). Basically this is a good fic if you want everyone to be a terrible person <3

The other fic I can rec is Have Your Cake and Eat It by cunegonde, aka my favorite fic of all time (that I could scream about literally foreverrrr but I’ll try to reel myself in!). This is a good fic if you want everyone to be a good person. Also this fic has time travel in it, so it’s like, kind of Marauders era, but not quite? Even though it’s kind of cliche, it’s also incredibly earnest and thoughtfully done, and it has interesting (and imo, realistic!) characterizations of each of the Marauders. Tbf I’m definitely biased toward this author’s work because they basically only write Snupin (my personal fave pairing), but reading their stuff is like, genuinely why are you writing Harry Potter fanfiction and not a full-length original novel, because holy fuck I think you could actually pull that off. Like, I loved this fic so much that I (person who doesn't read fanfic) immediately read everything else they wrote and finished it all in two days... Also this fic made me cry for literally an hour straight (probably the strongest emotional reaction I’ve had to any piece of media ever lol) – even though I knew what was coming. It was just that good.

Unfortunately that’s literally all I got lol. I’m going to tag some people who I think have similar takes on the Marauders as I do – @seriousbrat @remus-poopin @big-scary-bird @saintsenara – hiii, add on if you’d like. And anyone else who has recommendations of Marauders fics with good characterization, feel free to chime in!

I see that you’re a snupin fan. What would you say are your top snupin fic reccs? And are there any particular tropes/scenarios/aus that you enjoy for this pairing?

i actually think you could propose to me and i would be less excited than i am right now HELLO 🤭🤭🤭

okay these two they aren't centric in but have povs and are so so so good: lily's boy - SomewheresSword and The Heir to The House of Prince - elph13 (this is a nottpott one but i'd say it's a solid 60/40 split between them and snupin)

SNUPIN CENTRICCCC HOWEVER !!! two of my faves:

we'll keep the king - BlueSundayCake + Have Your Cake and Eat It - cunegonde

TROPES UGH !!! enemies to lovers but they aren't actually enemies !! they're so similar personality wise and their backgrounds are so so so similar that when they actually get to know each other, they aren't enemies at all, they've just chosen different ways to cope with it all. secret relationship !!!! bonus points if it's secret from even snape lmao and he doesn't know that that's what this is BUT sneaking around behind the marauder's backs? jealous sirius as he tries to figyre out where remus has gone? YUP

scenarios my fav will always be post prank OR post war (obvs they both live), also a biggg fan of harry getting sent to snape's instead of the dursley's and remus being assigned the task of keeping an eye on them. mmmm ya

and i haven't read many aus of them, i feel like i've just stuck to canon divergent but i would eat up a snupin sick fic. i would eat up, for example, remus sick and always in the hospital but none of the treatment is working?? nothing seems to be working for him so he GIVES UP!! meanwhile, snape has this file with a number on it and no name and he's looking over results and yk, potions master!! he can come up with something. so then he deduces this new treatment plan, goes to the address listed to be like "you can't give up, look i have a plan" and BOOM

remus lupin, his "enemy" from school.

are we seeing it guys. are we SEEING IT

Sondheim getting embarrassed and flustered over realizing he made women sing what sounds like "penis" is dbfjdbdbghdbgd

transcript under the cut:

MH: In Candide, in "Life Is Happiness Indeed," was it your joke that the women just song "-piness...-piness." [Sondheim shakes his head no.] Do you know what I'm talking about? [See example 10.6]

SS: No. Oh, I'm so embarrassed. "Penis?!" Oh, I'm sorry, no. Completely unconscious. Or, not even unconscious, I think it's another Horowitzean--

MH: It's the vocal arrangement. The women, Paqueete and Cunegonde, only sing the last two syllables. The men sing "Hap-" and they go "-piness"...And I just thought it was probably your joke.

SS: All I can say is, that's either Lenny's idea or Paul Gemignani's idea; it ain't mine. Oh, my goodness gracious. Oh, I would not do that!

Ben Vautier = L'art est pas art

Catalogo a cura di Monica Fornaciari

Lattuada Studio, Milano 2012, 48 pagine, 23,7x30,3cm

euro 35,00

email if you want to buy booksinprogressmilano@yahoo.it

Mostra a cura di Flavio Lattuada in collaborazione con Roberto Guffanti Gennaio - Febbraio 2012. L'esposizione raccoglie una trentina di opere dagli anni '70 ad oggi e una accurata selezione di documenti e manoscritti che introducono e spiegano la poetica dell'artista e la sua evoluzione.

Nasce a Napoli nel 1935. Ancora giovane, si trasferisce a Nizza, dove continua a lavorare, dopo aver vissuto in Turchia, Egitto e Svizzera. Nel 1954 apre un negozio di dischi usati che, nel 1959, trasforma in un luogo di incontro per persone che desiderano esporre e indagare oggetti nuovi. Negli anni cinquanta inizia la sua produzione pittorica segnata dall'astrattismo, poi nel decennio successivo si avvicina agli ambienti del Nouveau¬Rèalisme, soprattutto a Arman e a Spoerri. Nel 1962 conosce e inizia a frequentare George Maciunas, figura di spicco del gruppo Fluxes, di ispirazione neo-Dada, di cui Vautier diviene membro e sostenitore, condividendo quella filosofia e quella poetica che identifica con l'equazione arte e vita. Negli anni ottanta, passata l'ondata concettuale, inventa per la nuova tendenza pittorica emergente in Francia il termine "Figuration Libre" e introduce nei suoi lavori una componente figurativa ironico-grottesca. In quest'arco di tempo la sua attività non si ferma e prosegue senza soste: vive quindici giorni nella vetrina della One Gallery di Londra, organizza il Festiva] Fluxus, fonda il Théatre Total, tiene performances come Public (in cui la sua azione consiste appunto nel fissare il pubblico), espone una portinaia alla Galerie Zunini di Parigi, gira un film che lo riprende nell'atto d'insultare gli spettatori, pubblica riviste, scrive un volume di interventi teorici, apre una galleria intitolata ai suoi figli , "Malabar et Cunegonde".

Celestial Electronic | Donato Dozzy - ‘Magda’

Rating: 9/10 - EXCELLENT EP FEELS: like you’re being taken to a distant, warm, beautiful planet in the multiverse SOUNDS: celestial, other-worldly Donato Dozzy's EP 'Magda', released in January 2024, is a captivating blend of techno, ambient, and downtempo genres. The album, which is Dozzy's first full-length release since 2019, comprises six tracks that are described as soothing, celestial electronic at its most human. This work is deeply personal, paying homage to his family and the Adriatic Sea. Tracks like “Magda” and “Le Chaser” are particularly noted for their blissful, serene qualities, conveying a sense of deep contentment and familial love, rather than the euphoria typically associated with club music. The album is characterized by glowing chords and cascading arpeggios, creating an intimate and emotionally resonant listening experience. Other tracks, such as “Franca” and “Velluto”, create warm yet metallic soundscapes, reminiscent of Dozzy's 2012 album “Voices From The Lake”. “Santa Cunegond”', a ten-minute track, is highlighted for its epic narrative quality, starting with a stark, lunar-like landscape and transitioning into a mist of celestial pads and shakers. The album overall is seen as an exercise in beauty and serenity, reflecting Dozzy's skill in crafting music that is more akin to a zen ritual than mere auditory entertainment. The second half of the album takes a different approach, using audio to induce a trance-like state. The tracks employ synthesized atmospherics and steady percussion to immerse the listener into an underwater world, with 'Franca' and 'Santa Cunegonda' being particularly noted for this quality. The final track,”Lucrezia”, stands out for its lush pads, rubbery drums, and a vibrating bassline that creates an intoxicating effect. The album as a whole is seen as a continuation of Dozzy's exploration of psychedelic and trance-inducing music, drawing parallels with the 1960s Summer of Love and a deep connection with nature.

Have Your Cake And Eat It by Cunegonde

Another one of my beloved Snupin fanfics that holds a special place in my heart! I highly recommend this fanfic to those who would like to try reading Snupin for the first time. The ending truly struck a chord with me. I vividly remember how it left me devastated for an entire day. I really wish I could turn back time and experience this fanfic for the first time once again ❤

Front cover (my cat photobombed my first shot 😼)

Back cover & spine

Back and front flaps

By the way, if anyone is interested in bookbinding, I would recommend using a font size of 10pt. I made the mistake of using 11pt for my own project, and it turned out to be too large for my personal preference.

Art cover by wiistef, go check them out! Working with them has been an absolute pleasure, and I must say they are one of the most talented artists I've had the privilege to collaborate with. What impressed me even more was the fact that they had never watched Harry Potter before, yet they took the time to do some research and included Severus and Remus' patronuses in the back and front flaps of the art cover without me asking 🥺

You can read this fanfic online here.

Lorsque je saisis mon adresse mail sur iOS mon iPhone, il se passe quelque chose d'insupportable, le correcteur automatique remplace mon prénom en minuscule et sans accent par son équivalent avec la première lettre en majuscule et les accents qui vont bien (cunegonde se corrige alors en Cunégonde et il faut tout ressaisir)... Du coup, c'est long et douloureux... qui plus est, mon adresse mail comprend plus de 20 caractères ce qui est long à taper... La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'il existe une astuce toute simple pour gagner du temps lorsque vous tapez votre adresse mail sur iOS (sur votre iPhone ou votre iPad) en exploitant une fonctionnalité méconnue du système d'Apple, mais qui existe depuis pas mal de temps : le remplacement de texte. Un raccourci pour votre taper votre adresse mail sur iOS Il existe de nombreuses astuces pour rendre votre expérience iOS plus fluide. Cependant, le remplacement de texte est l'une des fonctionnalités les plus sous-estimées, car elle est polyvalente. Non seulement elle permet de corriger les coquilles typographiques courantes, mais elle offre également un moyen efficace de saisir des informations longues et répétitives. Perdu au fin fond des réglages de votre iPhone, le remplacement de texte va vous permettre de faire comprendre à iOS que lorsque vous tapez une abréviation ou une suite de caractères bien particuliers, celle-ci doit être remplacée par un mot ou une expression que vous avez défini. Vous aurez ainsi un raccourci pour saisir votre adresse email plus rapidement. Voici comment procéder et vous allez voir que c'est très simple ! Sur votre iPhone/iPad rendez-vous dans l'application Réglages Allez dans Général > Clavier > Remplacement Cliquez sur le petit "+" en haut à droite Dans Expression, saisissez votre adresse mail Dans Raccourci, saisissez un raccourci comme "@@" par exemple Appuyez sur Enregistrer et le tour est joué Pour le raccourci, faites bien attention de ne pas prendre un caractère unique ou un mot commun, car sinon il sera systématiquement remplacé par votre email et la bonne astuce risque de devenir un enfer. Par exemple si vous choisissez juste "@", à chaque fois que vous taperez "@", votre adresse email viendra s'imbriquer. C'est donc pour cela que j'ai choisi de doubler l'arobase afin de saisir mon adresse mail ! C'est probablement l'astuce que me sert le plus souvent au quotidien sur mon iPhone. Le remplacement de texte n'est pas seulement utile pour les adresses email. Vous pouvez également l'utiliser pour des phrases courantes, des salutations, des signatures, ou même des emojis spécifiques. Par exemple, si vous tapez souvent 'Cordialement, [Votre nom]', vous pourriez créer un raccourci 'cord++' qui se transformera automatiquement en cette salutation. Bref, au-delà de l'adresse email, le remplacement de texte va vous permettre de gagner du temps sur tous les mots ou textes que vous retapez régulièrement. Alors n'hésitez pas à utiliser de manière exhaustive cette fonctionnalité méconnue !

With the original Cunegonde out of the running, Madeline recognized a high-profile opportunity to jump-start her New York career, and she was determined to seize it. She and Michael Cohen coached her audition piece, Cunegonde’s “Glitter and Be Gay”. Both a direct descendant and a parody of Marguerite’s “Jewel Song” from Gounod’s Faust, the aria describes Cunegonde’s fall from aristocratic virgin to high-class courtesan, even as she takes solace in the jewels with which her sugar daddies have rewarded her. Wailing lamentations alternate with giddy laughter - staccati in alt. This coloratura tour-de-force has become both a calling card and a challenge for big-name sopranos such as June Anderson, Renee Fleming, Natalie Dessay, and Diana Damrau. Broadway’s Kristin Chenoweth sings it, too, drawing on her classical training. Yet Madeline’s rendition, heard on a pirate recording made during the concert in 1968, is possibly the greatest of them all, musically accurate and comically sublime.

...

The pirate recording remains a fascinating document of Madeline’s interpretive skills. For example, there’s the line “Bracelets! Lavaliers! Can they dry my tears?” Most Cunegondes wail the line melodramatically, but Madeline varies her reading and fairly growls the word “bracelets” in disgust - and the audience roars with laughter. Tellingly, perhaps, “Glitter and Be Gay” is the rare number with almost no glitches: Madeline’s singing is utterly secure, and the orchestra plays smoothly despite lack of rehearsal. Listening, one misses much of the comedy in her performance, Peress says. “She juggled her breasts! It was amazing. She was outrageous. Onstage, you’d just let her out of her cage.” The “topper,” he says, was the moment when Madeline put the last of her jewels, a big ruby, in her bellybutton.

From the biography of Madeline Kahn I’ve been reading.

Oiiii. Flip is a teenager in this film (an angry British teenager that is). And his name isn't Flip...it’s Cunegond? (What? Hmm)

Tubi coming in clutch with the live action Little Nemo film from 1984 (Dream One). Bless you Tubi, I love youuuu, you truly are the greatest streaming service.
