#edgar ; cecilia.

[xtinyslip]

“i should’ve listened to you a long time ago.”

cecilia wasn't used to getting wins here that lasted. however, this win felt as though it might just be here to stay or… that was what she needed to believe. there hadn't been time to grieve or miss her uncle but in those rare moments she had found herself alone. especially during her and parker's fight. well, she'd missed him. she'd missed him more than she knew. "why is it that i don't even want to give you the full i told you speech that i prepared? hm?" she teased, leaning forward to take his hand in her own and give it a squeeze. her way of telling him that he wasn't allowed to pull that shit ever again. dying? not an option. leaving her? definitely not one. "we do need to talk." with her guest staying here now? the guest who… from parker's sources had been the one to pull the trigger and take edgar from her. @fcrafcrtnight

[gointothevvater]

I've been working on what St. Cecilia's doing during Army of the Doomstar, and I think I have it figured out!

We first see her at the church during Ishnifus's funeral, where she's sitting with Edgar before Nathan comes stumbling in.

The next time we see her is during the climax, when she arrives with Charles and the Army of the Doomstar. She charges in with the others, wielding the little white stiletto knife Charles gave her. When Charles gets pinned down by Vater Orlaag, she hops into the combine and shoves aside the dead driver (Chanting "Eww, eww, eww," as she does), and rather than it hitting him on its own, she runs Orlaag down. She's not badly hurt, but she has a bloody nose and a few cuts and bruises. Charles panics for a moment because she's limping, but it's just because she broke her heel off on the side of some guy's head. She pulls the club off Charles's hand, and when the shit hits the fan, we get to see her be the one to shield him. When they break apart, they both have the glowing eyes.

We don't see her again until the very end of the film, where she's kneeling beside a smiling Charles.

[fcrafcrtnight]

“don't touch me!”

"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, I WON'T. IT'S JUST.." edgar didn't know what to think about all of this. a part of him wanted to get her out of there without even thinking twice about it and the other was feeling sick to his stomach, when it came to the fact that it seemed as if he had lost her. he hadn't seen what was about to happen and pederson had gotten her back to his side and that made him feel SICK. "no one's going to hurt you here. you have my word, but.. you're sick. you're sick and he's gotten into your head again and until we can change that? you have to stay here." @xtinyslip

"Shielded by my own obscurity, and by the lapse of years, and a few fictitious names, I do not fear to venture; and will candidly lay before the public what I would not disclose to the most intimate friend." (Agnes Grey, A Novel – Anne Brontë, 1847)

anne brontë likers we need to unionize.

ah, the 1840s! the brontë sisters, edgar allen poe, charles dickens... and what i can only imagine is an incredibly confusing amount of petticoats. the torso becomes thinner and longer, with the characteristic "point" ending of the bodice. skirts continue to grow, and grow, and grow... you get the point. sleeves fluctuate through this era, but are more often than not kept close to the arms – a major difference from the 1830s. the stereotypical victorian conservatism can be seen in daydresses of this era. speaking of daydresses, it became easier for women of the (gasp) lower class to mimic the styles of upper class women, as fashion moved from trims to the fabric and cuts themselves. its much easier for your average woman to obtain fabric than to obtain jewels, for example. going forward, expect a mix of upper and lower (more accurately, the slowly forming middle) class fashions!

also, i have been flying through these. i have no idea how long this amount of energy and hyperfocus is going to last. also also, to every cc creator that is getting tagged over and over: i'm sorry. it is a cc desert out here and you are oases. also also also: i reused a dress once. i could have sworn i downloaded ten but apparently i only downloaded nine ??

Eurovision 2023: #25

25. NORWAY Alessandra - "Queen of Kings" 5th place

Decade ranking: 73/166 [Above The Roop, below Mia Dimsic]

TikTok is a scourge on this world.

For those that wondered what a bad non-Noa 2023 result looks like, I present the above. Like yeah sure ITALY is the biggest offender of "Gets Votes Due To Pre-Built Expectations" on average but honestly... Norway's kinda up there too lately. AND ALTHOUGH I'M RANKING HER AHEAD OF MARCO, NORWAY'S RESULT OFFENDS ME WAY MORE. Third in the televote, really? Over Joker Out? Over Monika? Over Brunette? If that is what fan service is supposed to deliver, then the fans of this show are pieces of shit -- April Lewis, me.

I struggle with verbalizing why Alessandra is so meh to me. I should like this. She's camp, her song's uptempo, she was even decent on the night (after being bad literally every other time she had to perform). WHAT IS MISSING HERE?! WHY IS THIS ENTRY NOT AS GOOD AS ADVERTISED?

The issue really is that Queen of Kings is kind of boring. When you think about it, it's just a bunch of uptempo nothing carried by dumb lyrics and a basic techno beat. [ed.: you will NEVER be Cecilia] When Alessandra showed up in MGP (which was bad) and unexpectedly beat Ulrikke (who was attempting a Husavík - embarrassing) it was great though, in part BECAUSE she was basic and relied heavily on the live autotune. (lol you forgot MGP had live autotune, didn't you?). To finally have something, anything upbeat in what looked like a pretty meh pool, Norway temporarily gave me a lifeline I could cling to during these dire times of need! NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN STOP THE SPREAD OF A WITCH!!! SHE WILL BE THE WARRIOR OF THE NORTHERN SILENT SEAS!!!

And that is the ONLY reason Alessandra made it as far as she did on my ranking.

But then, things got better. Promise happened. Carpe Diem happened and Cha Cha Cha happened. Gustaph and Vesna, whom I had doubts about at the time improved drastically at the contest. Mimicat and Loreen and Pasha delivered as expected. There weren't many good entries (compared to 2022 and especially 2021), but a few did show themselves. Norway meanwhile, were on their fourth shallow meme entry in a row and enough. Time to try something else girlies. Why couldn't this televote result have gone to Edgar instead? (lol I have harsh words for that one too, but patience, children, first we have smaller fish to fry)

Ultimately, "Queen of Kings" was vaguely camp Eurovision pulp at its silliest and most scuffed (the fucking NERVE NRK had to try and frame it as a ~Secretly Complex Bisexual Anthem~ like, literally: die), but I find those traits more charming in filler entries nobody has high expectations for (Solo is HERE to stay for a while, and you will deal) and kinda embarrassing in overrated fanfave beasts designed to steal televotes from the plucky underdogs that truly deserved them. But hey, maybe that's just me. 🤷‍♀️

THE RANKING

[xtinyslip]

"AND WHAT LITTLE DOES SHE CARE FOR YOU TO BE SO STUPID AS TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE? HURT HER? IF YOU KEEP UP THIS LITTLE GAME? I'LL DO FAR MORE THAN THAT AND DON'T THINK I'M NOT CAPABLE!" it hadn't been personal against this woman, it could have been anyone who had made that choice and cecilia would have been as seething. however, when he stopped what he was saying ; about to call her by another woman's name? oh, he should have known better. "that's fine. not prepared to tell me your new friends name? i'll have the lot of them fired." it wasn't as if there were many female doctors or nurses here and she was that fucking protective and… maybe petty, that she would. of course, everyone other than elena ; it was clear who her doe eyes were aimed at and that wasn't parker. everyone else? fair game and edgar would do it or she'd do for him. she wasn't fucking around when it came to this. "it feels awfully like an accusation rather than a conversation." she didn't want to look at him, actually, she didn't want to look at him at all with how angry she was. still, she at least held his hands back, staring at how her fingers naturally linked with his instead. "why can't you see why i never wanted to even allow the risk of that? hm?" sure, it was easier to point the finger and say she should have told him. that she was being selfish by not telling him but telling him risked them. it risked them and maybe that did make her a selfish bitch but she didn't really care. nothing was worth risking them, especially these parts of their past that were better left forgotten. parker had every right to feel how he did but it didn't mean it wasn't inconvenient. it didn't mean that it wasn't going to cause a whole range of fucking problems... over something that wasn't even relevant anymore? john was... he was gone. hearing how this woman had apparently been here for him, how she was the fucking hero for telling him a truth that didn't need to be shared. it was adding to the rage that was simmering inside of her. it really was. "isn't it convenient how this so called friend of yours only told you the parts of the story that made me look dreadful? hm?" this time she did stand up and without her crutches which almost had her bending over in pain. "i assure you that i was not the one who pushed you away. yes, apologises for not being better at holding onto you but i had never had to hold onto someone for dear life before that." anger at the fact that he would DARE suggest that she would do that. "you don't need to tell me her name. i'll find out by myself and she'll be DONE by the end of the day." @fcdcdmcmories

".. YES, I CARE ABOUT HER! YES, I CARE ABOUT HER BECAUSE SHE WAS HONEST WITH ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WAS. NOT EVEN YOU. SO NO, I'M NOT LETTING YOU HURT HER OR GET YOUR UNCLE TO MAKE HER LEAVE, BECAUSE.. LET'S BE HONEST. WE ALL KNOW WHOSE SIDE HE'S GOING TO TAKE HERE. YOURS. L-" he had been about to say lynn but had stopped himself at the last minute before his lips could form her name and.. he could only hope that she hadn't caught that part. after all, he could have been talking about absolutely anyone, "now you're taking it way too far! we're having a conversation! i'm not going to walk away. CECILIA, LOOK AT ME," he took her hands, hoping that she would look at him, even if .. it was unlikely to happen whenever she was mad. "things are different now. i love you. you're my wife. i'm not going to walk away again. why can't you see that?" was this what he was also afraid of? that.. that this fighting would lead to them separating.. again? he didn't want to, of course not, but-- fuck. "oh, fucking save it. i don't want to hear how your bestie or lover or whatever he was was planning on being better. HE'S A MONSTER. ALL THAT I REMEMBER ABOUT HIM IS HIM.. IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, TRYING TO DESTROY MY LIFE. EITHER BY ATTEMPTING TO STEAL THE WOMAN I LOVE OR ATTEMPTING TO KILL ME, SO.. FORGIVE ME IF I DON'T LIKE HIM. AT ALL." oh, he was angry and if he saw the other again? he was going to make sure that he knew to stay away from them. from her. right? "here. where we always have been. as i said .. it's not you i'm mad at," not at all, no. "she's been here for me and helping me catch up on everything, but.. all she told me was about kramer." he gulped, looking down at the ground. he remembered that. or rather, not, but .. how hopeless he had felt back then. right? "and that's because they didn't know you. what he did to you. it's different." was he going to remain thinking like that? yes, he was, because... he could never think wrongly about her. not at all. he wasn't capable of it. "yes, i do. blame me, if you want. that's fine. i do hate him. i do think the world's a better place without him. why does that have to mean that i can't be here for my wife? ARE YOU GOING TO PUSH ME AWAY BECAUSE OF HIM.. AGAIN?" low blow? but .. wasn't it the truth?

❛ i'm on the outside of the greatest inside joke. ❜ || @lcvenderhcze (Carlos/Finn)

Carlos looked at the other across from the table how interesting it was to see the great man brought to his knees but Carlos was being lied to, people were messing with his family, and that wasn’t okay. He’d learned back home under Dr. Gordon, how to not allow your emotions to enter in the games and be logical about how you went after people. Cecilia, Edgar, Parker, and even his own adopted father were crafting some web of lies that he was going to burn to the ground. Finn had the right idea playing on family which used to be important to John Kramer but it seems he’d forgotten his true purpose. “I don’t know, I think this is the funniest joke in the world, what was it you said to me the last time we met? That’s you’d make what Cecillia did to me look like child play? Shame someone got to you first huh? You know to be so cruel to Miss Tuck, she was rather sweet the time I ran into her, maybe you just like beating women, after all, that does seem to be your go-to victims so I guess I didn’t have anything to worry about from you huh?”

[xtinyslip]

cecilia felt like her head was spinning, like she was actually performing that scene out of the exorcist. was she ever supposed to believe that will could do that to her? that he would take good family from her when HE KNEW? well, she didn't believe it and perhaps that was self preservation because she'd put her trust and faith in him… or, perhaps she couldn't bare to think that he had betrayed her like that. whatever it was, she was going to save him from this like he had saved her. that was a fucking given, she'd like to see anyone tell her no about this. she might not be able to save her uncle but she'd be fucking damned if she just let this go. that this went un-answered for. "i wish i was here under better circumstances," bringing her hand to gently hold paul's arm. "but i'm thankful that your vintage wine seems reserved for me. i need it, hm?" smiling sadly. "PAUL, I NEED YOU TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME." @fcrafcrtnight

[gointothevvater]

St. Cecilia definitely has a personal klokateer assigned to take care of Lemmy while she works with Edgar! Though she does definitely bring him to the lab under Mordhaus some days, just for fun! 🖤

❝ i’m not going to tell you to stay or go. you must make that choice yourself. ❞ from cee @xtinyslip

"I DON'T WANT TO STAY THERE. THAT PLACE REMINDS ME OF TRAGEDY AFTER TRAGEDY AND.. IF I HAVE TO WITHSTAND ANOTHER SECOND OF WILL GRAHAM'S COMPANY, I MAY JUST DESTROY MY WARDROBE, BUY ONE LIKE HIS AND CALL MYSELF A GOOD GUY," alright, hm... that was perhaps a bad joke but he was attempting to get somewhere with this or at least, he was trying to. his head hurt and he didn't know what else to do, but.. he was attempting to make a point. "but.. i am also not going to go. why don't you move here? with me? this place is gigantic and it's nothing like the old farm. it can be a HOME for you, sweetheart. a fresh start?" @xtinyslip

[fcdcdmcmories]

HE HAD REMAINED TRUE TO HIS WORD. IN FACT, PARKER HAD NOT LEFT HER SIDE EVER SINCE THEIR LAST TALK AND.. RIGHT NOW? RIGHT NOW, HE WAS GLAD THAT HE HAD NOT. right now? he was glad that he had promised to not go anywhere, because.. he knew. he knew that she'd probably need him now more than she ever had in the past and.. god, why the hell did this keep happening? he knew. he knew who the problem was and why it all kept happening, but.. "i wish.. i wish that i didn't have to say this. i wish i never had to say something like this again.. i wish that.. we could forget all about the outside world and go back to it being just us, but.." gulping and before he did say what he had to, he sat down, taking her hands in his own. "EDGAR IS.. HE'S DEAD. BABY, I'M SO SORRY. WILL.. HE WAS ARRESTED FOR IT. THEY'RE SAYING HE DID IT. THAT THERE'S PROOF." was there? he had no idea.

 ❝ my tongue lied. my eyes shouted the truth. ❞  (Parker/Will); @fcdcdmcmories

Will had long since known that Parker was nothing if not a self-s scarifying idiot when it came to the people he loved. He knew something was up, knew the other was plotting something stupid that would get him in trouble. “You have gotten very good at that have you Parker?” he mused handing the other a glass of whiskey he had been given a task to earn back into Finn’s Good Graces and he knew he wouldn’t have the heart to hurt Edgar, disregard the fact that he was Cecilia’s Uncle, he was Mark’s boyfriend and he respected him far too much to ever allow harm to come to him. “You know my fool’s plan to get back into his good graces? I tried this once before with another serial killer back home and there was a moment when I heard his voice before everything went down. I instantly knew I wanted him to live. Listening to Finn talk about how much he hated everyone instantly turned my blood cold and in that moment I knew I would never love him and never feel an ounce of love towards him ever again.” He mused sipping his whiskey and letting it burn his throat.

Reseña de la exposición General Rincón Gallardo 14

Por Nancy Soriano Arce, estudiante de la Especialización en Historia del Arte 

Una obra gris es un espacio que promete una transformación que sugiere un futuro con bases sólidas a pesar de los pisos irregulares, las paredes sin acabados y el polvo por todos lados. Un edificio inacabado no parece ser el espacio ideal para una exposición de arte, sin embargo sucede a pesar de las bajas probabilidades de serlo. 

General Rincón Gallardo 14 es una exhibición colectiva de arte contemporáneo presentada por Andarín, un proyecto de investigación, reflexión y estudio del hábitat. La inauguración tuvo lugar la noche del pasado viernes 22 de septiembre en un espacio en construcción ubicado en la calle homónima, en la colonia Ampliación Daniel Garza en la Ciudad de México. La exposición está compuesta por pinturas, fotografías, audiovisuales y esculturas de 21 artistas: Antonia Alarcón, Andrea Bores, Patricia Carrington, Miguel Casco, Alonso Cedillo, Dani Escamilla, Alfredo Esparza Cárdenas, Ángela Ferrari, Anahí H. Galaviz, Manuel G. Romo, Eugenia Jico, Darinka Lamas, Andrea Martínez, Cecilia Miranda Gómez, Rubén Ojeda Guzmán, Alejandro Palomino, Emmanuel Rodríguez-Mazón, Fernanda Suárez, Edgar Solórzano, Omar Torres y la La Pinche Adultez. 

En una suerte de literalidad, al llegar a la calle General Rincón Gallardo y buscar el número 14, imaginé, basándome en mi experiencia con galerías de arte contemporáneo típicas, que sería otro cubo blanco pero intencionalmente incompleto o con muros sin aplanar pero se trataba de un espacio crudo, realmente en obra gris. 

Una tabla con una cubeta como peso para mantenerla abierta que hacía las veces de puerta, dejaba ver un resplandor rojizo que invitaba a curiosear. En la entrada había un anuncio de neón con las letras ‘General Rincón Gallardo 14’ y una pieza colgante con una luz amarilla debajo que disiparon por completo la duda sobre si era el lugar correcto. La experiencia había comenzado. 

A lo largo de los tres niveles del espacio de exposición, la muestra exhibía piezas como la fotografía de gran formato de Omar Torres, las pinturas naturalistas de Antonia Alarcón y Ángela Ferrari, la instalación de paneles móviles de Eugenia Jico, las pinturas de desnudos pixelados de Miguel Casco, las fotografías de Andrea Martínez o los textiles de La Pinche Adultez, entre otras, mostrando un diálogo de similitud y adaptación a los espacios, dejando a los espectadores la posibilidad de relacionarlas por su formato y tema. 

En los niveles superiores el espacio permitió la presentación de la pintura e instalación de Alonso Cedillo en dos instancias: en un espacio reducido y de difícil acceso se encontraba una pintura de un teléfono móvil sobre un inflable en una piscina. Luego, al continuar el recorrido, se descubría una pequeña sala donde se proyectaba un audiovisual sobre el mismo tema de la pintura. Daba la sensación de ser un mismo momento pero visto y experimentado por dos personas distintas. 

En una las últimas salas al aire libre, se activó una obra con pirotecnia que reveló la frase ‘Aquí no pinto nada’ del artista Rubén Ojeda Guzmán, al tiempo que ofrecía un cierre a la inauguración completando la obra gris para transformarla en un lugar perfecto para la experimentación, centrándose en la experiencia del visitante. Sin ofrecer un contexto extenso, se buscó crear un diálogo entre las obras desafiando lo habitual al seleccionar cuidadosamente solo algunos aspectos del arte contemporáneo, aquellos que logran capturar la atención.
