Love That Burns ~ 12

LOVE THAT BURNS MASTERLIST

< previous chapter

Word Count: 1,680ish

Summary: Rogue is taken by Magneto. Charles is injured. You and Logan finally talk a little.

Warnings: injuries, death, angst, some fluff

Notes: This one is a little bit shorter again, but I couldn't help myself. PLEASE share reactions!

Reminder: I DO NOT do taglists. Please don’t ask. Please follow and interact! I appreciate any reblogs, likes, comments, and asks! (I'm now including this as its own section because people keep not reading it in the notes.)

All hell had broken loose at the station, leading you all to find out that Magneto was going after Rogue and not Logan. He had successfully taken Rogue despite efforts to stop him. Logan was furious upon he return to the mansion and you couldn’t blame him. You and Charles found yourself in Logan’s room while he cleaned up after the fight. 

“You said he wanted me,” Logan said, turning around and slipping his leather jacket back on.

“I made a terrible mistake,” Charles admitted. “I couldn’t see what he was after until it was too late.”

Logan headed for the door.

“Where are you going?” You asked.

“I’m gonna find her,” he responded.

“How?” Charles wondered.

“The traditional way: look.” He left the room but you followed after him.

“Logan, you can’t do this alone,” you said.

“Who’ll help me? You?” Logan continued down the stairs. “So far, you’ve all done a bang-up job.”

“Then help us. Fight with us.”

He turned to face you. You were a few steps up from him while he was at the bottom of the stairs. “I don’t even know if you can fight. What is your ability? Secrets? Besides, fighting with you? Joining the team? Be an X-Man? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re a mutant. The world is full of people that hate and fear you and you’re wasting your time trying to protect ‘em? I’ve got better things to do.”

Logan’s response took you back a little, adding to the list of things that had changed about him since you had last been with him.

“Logan—“

“You know, Magneto’s right. There’s a war coming. Are you sure you’re on the right side?”

“At least I’ve chosen a side.”

Logan clenched his jaw at your response before opening the door. On the doorstep, stood a man, looking worse for wear and panting.

“I’m looking for Dr. Jean Grey,” he rasped, before stumbling forward into Logan.

“Jean!” You shouted, knowing that she would hear you somehow. “Meet us in the lab! Come on,” you ushered Logan, with the man in his arms, down to the lab.

You quickly got the man situated before Charles and Jean joined you. Charles rolled up to the man’s side, seeming to already know who he was.

“Senator Kelly,” Charles greeted. “I’m Professor Charles Xavier.”

“I was afraid if I went to the hospital,” the Senator said through pants, “they would…”

“Treat you like a mutant? We’re not what you think. Not all of us.”

“Tell it to the ones who did this to me.”

Charles furrowed his brows in concern before wheeling around to be at the Senator’s head. “Senator… I want you to try and relax. I’m not going to hurt you.” 

Charles placed his hands on either side of the Senator’s head and closed his eyes. You nibbled your lip nervously as Charles flittered through the Senator’s thoughts. Your hand went to your chest to try and hold your dog tags, only to realize the weren’t there. Logan noticed your movement and felt guilty for still having your dog tags. But he didn’t make a move to give them back, hoping that having them would convince you to tell him what you knew.

“Upstairs, now,” Charles said as he pulled away from the Senator. Once in his office, Charles began to explain what he saw. “The machine emits radiation that triggers mutation in ordinary human beings.” 

“But the mutation is unnatural,” Jean said. “Kelly’s body is rejecting it. His cells began to break down almost immediately.”

“What effect does the radiation have on mutants?” Scott asked.

“There appears to be none,” Charles answered. “But I fear it will harm any normal person exposed to it.”

“So what does Magneto want with Rogue?” Logan asked.

“I don’t know.”

Logan clearly wasn’t happy with that answer, throwing his leather jacket down.

“Wait a second,” Scott said. “You said this machine draws its power from Magneto, and that it weakened him.”

“Yes,” replied Charles. “In fact, it nearly killed him.”

“He’s going to transfer his power to Rogue and use her to power the machine,” Logan said, Magneto’s plan finally clicking.

“Cyclops, you and Storm ready the jet. I’m gonna find Rogue. Y/N, get Logan a uniform.”

“Whoa, wait a minute,” Scott stood up, pointing at Logan. “He’s not coming with us, is he?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry, Professor, but he’ll endanger the mission and—“

“Hey, I wasn’t the one who gave the station a new sunroof, pal,” Logan interrupted.

“No, you were the one who stabbed Rogue in the chest.”

“Why don’t you take your little mission and stick it up—“

“Senator Kelly is dead,” Ororo ran in and announced.

“I’m going to find Rogue,” Charles stated. “Settle this. Quickly.”

~~~

Logan followed you down to the lower levels, where you found him a suit.

“Thanks,” he muttered, taking it from you. You nodded, suddenly tensing as you heard something. “What is it?”

“Something’s wrong.” You rushed out of the room to see Cerebro’s doors open down the hall. Charles was laying on the ground, out of his chair. “Charles!”

You and Logan ran into Cerebro. You checked for a pulse, revealed when you felt one.

“I got him,” Logan said, lifting Charles up.

“In the lab,” you told him, though Logan was already heading there.

Jean, Scott, and Ororo came running down the hall. Jean had felt something and knew it was the Professor. Logan set Charles down and Jean quickly got to work. You couldn’t bare to see Charles lying on the table like that so you left, heading out to the garden. Logan noticed and went after you. You could feel him behind you as you came to a stop, thankful that he kept his distance. You could smell the cigar as Logan retrieved it from his pocket and quickly lit it for him as he put it to his lips. Logan’s eyes widened is brief surprise but quickly realized that you were the one who lit the cigar.

“I’m older than Charles,” you suddenly told Logan. “You wouldn’t guess because of my healing factor, it slows my aging, just like yours. Though, you have the better healing since mine still leaves scars.”

Logan took a few steps closer to you. “I’m sorry about the Professor.”

You nodded, trying to reign in the tears. “Me too…”

“I, uh, I’ve been seeing flashes of you… brief images in my mind.” You gasped as his admission. “Especially since Jean entered it. It’s like she unlocked something. Well, more like barely cracked it open. When I see you, there’s usually a red, orange, or yellow tint to it.”

“I can control fire. It’s probably why those colors tint your memories.”

Logan nodded. “Makes sense.” He stepped closer. “Who were you to me?”

“We—“ Your voice cracked, letting Logan hear the emotions you were trying so hard to push down. “We were in love.”

Logan looked down at his chest, looking at the ring. “We were engaged.”

“Mhm,” you nodded. “It was our last good day.”

“It’s your ring that’s been with my dog tags.”

“You took it when I died…”

“What?”

“I was killed to trick you. I honestly don’t fully know what they wanted to trick you into, but I assume your adamantium skeleton has something to do with it.”

“They used you?”

“Yes.”

Overbearing silence fell between the two of you. There was so much unsaid, so much unknown. It’s like the universe didn’t know what to do with it either. Logan’s mind was running a hundred miles per minute. He had just found out that the two of you had been engaged and that the people who experimented on him had killed you to get to him.

“I’m sorry,” Logan whispered. “I should have protected you.”

You spun around. “You did protect me. They were going to turn me into Weapon XII and you got me out of there.” You fell silent, thinking about that day. “I’m the one who failed you… I should have stayed with you, but I thought you were dead.” You turned back around, feeling guilty for having left him though Charles had been the one to force you away.

“I’m sure it’s not your fault… You were smart to leave. You found this place. A home.”

“It’s not the same… I’ve only felt at home with you.”

“Y/N… I’m not the same man you knew.”

“I know. I’ve seen the looks you’ve given Jean… you used to look at me that way.”

“I’m sorry.”

You sighed. “I know you are.” Silence fell between you both for another moment. “Can you… can you do something for me?”

“Anything.” Logan hated how desperate that sounded.

“Can you hold me?”

Without a verbal answer, Logan came up behind you and slowly wrapped his arms around you. You leaned back into him as he pulled you closer. Your arms found themselves onto of Logan’s. A few tears slipped down your cheeks as you let yourself pretend that this Logan truly remembered you. 

Logan kept the cigar in his mouth as he held you close. It felt right, you in his arms. He tensed as a scene suddenly began playing in his head. You were crying, curled up in his lap as he comforted you on a couch. There was some smoke in the memory, like something had been on fire. He could only assume that was your doing.

“I’m sorry—“ You tried to pull away when you felt him tense. Your words pulled him from the memory.

“No,” he quickly stopped you, pulling you back into him. “Just a little longer.”

You nodded, leaning back further to be closer to Logan. You closed your eyes and let yourself be in the moment. Logan spit his cigar out and stomped on it, before allowing himself to rest his head against yours. Like it was out of habit, he pressed a light kiss to your head. And for the first time in twenty-two years, Logan felt like he had a home.

could you do a fluff/smutty fic with james hetfield where he takes the readers v card pls <33 preferably an established relationship and set in the early 90s but you take the reigns !!

I hope you like this anon! I thought this au was so cute! <3

𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍

Genre: Fluff and Smut

Setting: early 90s ; black album era

Warnings: piv, slight choking, mentions of alcohol and drinking. drugs involved (just cigarettes), unprotected. (wrap up)

Summary: Metallica was just about done with their world tour. Their last stops being in the states, selling out arenas and some stadiums they had booked. They were currently on break until it was time to tour North and South America. You guys were at a celebration party, celebrating a successful abroad tour. Though, James wanna celebrate in a different way, of course you couldn't say no to that.

"CHEERS TO A SUCCESSFUL AND SAFE...BLACK ALBUM TOUR. I WANNA THANK EVERYONE ON OUR TEAM FOR MAKING ANOTHER TOUR HAPPEN!" Lars said as he shot his red cup in the air that was filled with some type of alcohol.

Everyone said their cheers and cheered before taking a sip of their drink. "Another tour..another successful album to be quite frank." James raised his brow. You chuckled at his comment. You both were sitting on the couch playing a game of cards with Kirk and his girlfriend. The two couple across from you and nodded. "Dare I say we deserve something for it." Kirk said.

The band wasn't too focused on getting trophies but they highly appreciated the recognition they rightly deserved. You supported James and been with him since Kill em All. You really watched the band grow and become experienced with their sound and instruments. The fact you were able to witness everything in real time just gave you goosebumps.

Not only that, you couldn't stop thinking about how you two were about to celebrate 10 years of being together. 'A decade already?' You thought. Time was sure going fast and as the saying goes, 'Time goes by fast when you're having fun.' Rightfully so. You sure as hell was having the best time while dating James. There was never a dull moment in the 10 years you've been with him. You guys aren't perfect but you both matched each other perfectly.

It was getting late so you guys decided to head on home. You entered your shared apartment and you two were quick to just flop on your soft bed after being out all day. You two were exhausted and just needed some rest for a moment. A moment to relax for a bit.

"Home! god i miss this bed!" James said as his face was muffled in the pillow. He let out a guttural sigh that couldn't help but make you laugh. He turned his head to look at you with a smile.

"What?" You said curiously.

"Nothing...I just, you know..wanna celebrate my tour in a different way~ a quick blow? pleasee?" He asked politely. He knew that you were still a virgin but of course, you two managed to please each other when it came down to any of you being horny, so you wasn't entirely inexperienced.

"Don't you want more?"

"More?"

"Yeah?"

James looked at you confused as he sat up. "More what? I don't want nothing else.."

"Oh so you don't wanna take my virginity then?"

You can see when his heart skipped a beat and had butterflies in his stomach. "Wait- I-"

You just nodded as James obviously didn't have no words to say.

"Are you sure?" He asked. He slowly moved closer towards you. "Mmhm..I'm sure. 100%. I love you so so much and I'm ready." After your words, he kissed your cheek then moved towards your lips pecking them. "I will go easy on you baby. Just let me know when it hurts or you want me to slow down- or even stop ok?" He whispered in between each peck. Eventually, you guys were in a much needed kiss.

His tongue going against yours; exploring your familiar mouth. James had you stripped down in mere seconds. He was taking his time on you and didn't wanna rush a moment like this. He kissed down your stomach and kissed the waistband of your panties. He slowly slid them off exposing your wet cunt.

He loves going down on you ever since the first time you guys did it back in 83. You could definitely tell the difference between 20 year old James with no experience and a 30 year old James, with experience and knows all your rights spots from memory.

He was now at your entrance. He first rummaged through the bed side drawers to take out an unopened box of condoms. James also had a box; just in case for moments like these when you were feeling up for it.

"No-" You said grabbing his wrist. "Don't put it on..." James was taken aback and looked at you for a moment indeed of reassurance. You nodded and he just put the box back. "Damn so i technically bought those for nothing?" He shook his head as you giggled. He was a pretty good size in length and girth. Your heart was pounding and it was way too late to back down now. He slowly pushed himself into, feeling your tight walls around him. "Fuck-" He cursed under his breath. You groaned at the slight pain and even winced a bit. The pain was sharp and uncomfortable and it had you breathing heavily.

"Calm down, breath. I don't want you to pass out." James said as he caressed his cheek. He was now fully inside of you. He kept this position for a minute until you were comfortable and ready. He began moving slowly, his thrust was manageable but it was still highly uncomfortable for you. You soon relaxed your body more and kept breathing. Eventually you got the hand of his movements and his size. The moment you felt comfortable is the moment your body wanted more. James being a gentleman that he is, he still kept going slow.

His low groans and grunts filled the room and it turned you on. "Go a little faster..." You told him in a whisper. "You sure baby doll?"

You nodded.

You didn't have to tell James twice. He increased his thrust speed to a medium. That unfamiliar uncomfortable feeling was finally long gone and out of your hair. You officially lost your virginity to the man you love and,, you didn't mind him using you like some toy.

Once you had a feel to him, James had you in all different positions. Different positions you never thought you could even do. He wasn't going soft and sweet but more rough and sloppy like he hadn't fucked in ages...technically he hasn't but he's willing to wait. You guys were both back to missionary and he moved his hand down to your throat, softly squeezing it; filling your choking kink you always had.

His eyes were dark and his voice was deep and raspy. "Gonna come now baby...fuck-" He moaned out. Your moans were the only sounds being heard throughout the room besides the harsh smacking of skin to skin contact. He was thrusting hard and deep in your cunt. "Yeah..i think- i feel it-" You whined. He subconsciously went even more faster and rougher. You thought he was gonna break the bed but you didn't care. In the heat of the moment you, just wanted to come; and you came.

He quickly pulled out, jerking himself off as he released himself onto your stomach, causing a sticky mess. "Fuck- fucck-" He huffed and took a deep breath. He looked down at you, your face was red and tired from the activity. He grabbed a few tissues and cleaned up your stomach. "Thats my girl...thats.my.girl." He said before landing two kisses on your cheeks. You smiled and watched him lay on his side of the bed catching his breath.

"You know were locked in now...like this." He said putting his crossed fingers. "Im happy to be your first, and I'm willing to be your first in anything else."

"My first husband??"

"Now don't spoil our future...but yeah...your first husband." He turned to wink at you causing your heart to skip a beat.

a/n: I hope you like this fic anon and and anyone else that read it.

Unbeta'd ramblings

Masterlist

Relationship: Bucky x Reader

Word Count: Approx 700

CW: None - it's Fluff

“So, if you really want to compare the Mark 3 and the Mark 4, you gotta look at the injectors, because more efficient fuel transference means more horsepower…”

Your friend Rory was chatting to Bucky about his favourite subject. Cars. Bucky was trying not to let his eyes glaze over.

“Do you think we ought to rescue him?” You leant over, and stage-whispered into Kate’s ear. The dark-haired archer covered her giggle with her hand, but both of you caught Bucky’s slight side glance toward where you were both sitting, enjoying your cocktails. 

You’d decided to hold a cook-out for your birthday so there was a mix of all of your old friends, and all of the new friends you’d made through Bucky.

Growing up you’d had more male friends than female, a cabal of honorary brothers, so you’d always known that when you finally settled down your boys would have to at least partially haze your chosen partner, and then once accepted he would be absorbed into their group, whether he wanted to be or not.

‘Love me, love my bros.’

When you’d first introduced them to Bucky they’d been sceptical. You couldn’t blame them. Firstly, he was actually the only boyfriend you’d made ‘run the gauntlet’ so they knew you were serious. Secondly, it was James ‘Bucky’ Barnes. A man born in 1917, held hostage, tortured and brainwashed into committing heinous crimes for decades, before breaking free, becoming a fugitive, and then, finally being deprogrammed and pardoned. There was a lot to unpack there.

However, it seemed that he’d passed whatever test they’d put him through, because as soon as they’d arrived today, Rory, Jerome, Lee and the others stumbling out of an SUV, they’d practically kidnapped Bucky away from you and the rest of the Avengers.

And bless your guys, it was sweet. They wanted to include Bucky in all of their conversations about cars, computers, hockey and football. He could join in, obviously. He wasn’t completely clueless about those topics, but having grown up in the Great Depression, those sorts of things hadn’t been the focus of his youth. A different time, a different place.

“I saw a flying car once.”

“Bro! Really?” Rory stopped his rambling at Bucky’s statement and you felt the smile creep over your lips.

“Yeah, the 1944 World Expo. Howard Stark was showing off the car of the future. It was shiny and red. Oh I wanted a car like that, so bad, even if the prototype had a few bugs.  Still pissed when I found out that neither Howard or Tony had been able to make it a reality.”

“So this Expo was full of, like, futuristic shit?”

You watched them over your sunglasses, the boys all leaning in now, hanging on Bucky’s every word.

“Well, for 1944 it was definitely futuristic. But if you really want to talk futuristic, you gotta know about some of the tech they have in Wakanda.”

For emphasis, Bucky straightened out his left arm, wiggling his fingers and your friend’s mouths all dropped open as they watched the plates shift and heard the servos whir.

“You gotta tell us about Wakanda, man.” Jerome pushed himself slightly forward. “I can’t believe you’re tight with the royal family. Is Princess Shuri as hot in real life?”

Uh-oh. You winced internally. Bucky just raised an eyebrow, before speaking again.

“You know how you guys feel about Angel-face over there? About how if I’d disrespected her you’d all try to take me apart? Well that’s how I feel about Shuri. So you wanna ask me another question?”

Jerome had the good grace to look embarrassed and suddenly find a burning interest in his shoes. There was an awkward silence for a moment, before Lee leant forward.

“They’ve got some kind of Mag-lev trains haven’t they? Faster than the Japanese ones?”

You let out the breath you’d hadn’t even realised you’d been holding, as Bucky’s mouth broke into a broad grin. 

“Anyone got a pen and paper. I’m gonna need to do some visual aids for you chumps.”

They all broke out into peels of laughter and you turned back to Kate.

“Scratch that. I think he’s gonna be just fine.”

Safran partners with the Egyptian Air Force to improve the performance of the Rafale fleet

A memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed at Egypt Defense Expo 2023 sets the stage for the implementation of EngineLife services.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/12/2023 - 16:00 in Military

Safran Aircraft Engines and the Egyptian Air Force solidified their partnership at Egypt Defense Expo 2023 by signing a memorandum of understanding for EngineLife services, tailored for the Dassault Aviation Rafale with M88 engine.

This agreement focuses on lifetime support (TLS) for Egypt's 24 Rafale fleet, introducing an hourly support model with guaranteed availability levels.

The hourly support model comes with availability levels, aiming to maximize engine uptime and minimize cost of ownership.

Egypt placed an initial order for 24 Rafale aircraft in 2015 for an original value of $5.2 to 6 billion. The agreement initially included the sale of eight variants of Rafale-EM and 16 variants of Rafale-DM.

In 2019, Dassault had completed the delivery of 24 Rafale fighters and, in May 2021, Egypt signed a subsequent order to purchase 30 additional Rafale aircraft, bringing the total number of Rafale fuselages ordered to 54 fuselages. The subsequent new order for 30 additional Rafale fuselages is expected to cost $8.7 billion and will be delivered by 2026.

EngineLife offers a set of services tailored to each customer, including the deployment of personnel to support on-site mechanics, optimization of maintenance operations, team technical support to maximize engine potential and logistics management between Safran Aircraft Engines and the customer.

Christophe Bruneau, vice president of military engines at Safran Aircraft Engines, expressed his honor in signing the MoU with the Egyptian Air Force: “We are honored to sign this MoU with the Egyptian Air Force as part of the launch of our new EngineLife offer. After the successful entry into service of the M88 in Egypt's Rafale fleet, we are now intensifying our support agreements to ensure that our customer has the highest levels of engine availability for their flight operations."

This collaborative service approach involves sharing maintenance tasks between Safran and the Egyptian Air Force, allowing local mechanics at the base to benefit from Safran's experience in TLS. The goal is to strengthen the skills of local personnel, optimize fleet availability and exercise better control over operating costs for M88 operators.

Egyptian Air Force Marshal Mahmoud Fouad Abdel-Gawad said: “Safran Aircraft Engines has been an important partner in supporting the success of the Egyptian Air Force for many years. We are very pleased to strengthen our long-term partnership with the company through this memorandum of understanding and hope to see the benefits of EngineLife for the availability of our fleet."

With the acquisition of Rafale combat aircraft, the Egyptian Air Force is expected to gain a capacity advantage in the region against its immediate neighbors, such as Sudan, with whom it has territorial and water disputes.

We're about a month away from the release of WISH...

Walt Disney Animation Studios, and by extension the whole dang company built on this cartoon bedrock, celebrated their 100th year yesterday... ABC aired ENCANTO, in addition to the world premiere of the short film ONCE UPON A STUDIO (which apparently has now been chopped off of WISH and will debut elsewhere), and an edited version of the WISH trailer... Nothing pertaining to the future was unveiled...

(By the by, I don't have cable, so... I didn't get to see ONCE UPON A STUDIO. Sadface.)

You'd think, for the company's 100th anniversary... That there'd be *some* word on what was coming up next from Walt Disney Animation Studios?

Their new movie is in theaters next month, and we don't know what the November 27, 2024 release from them is...

By now, we usually know what's next... For example:

WISH was first unveiled in September 2022 at the D23 Expo, which was a little over a year before the movie's target release date.

STRANGE WORLD, by contrast, was announced a little under a year before its release. That film was revealed to the public via the trades and Disney themselves on their socials.

ENCANTO was revealed in December 2020 during the company's Investors Day event, that less than a year before it came out.

RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON was another D23 reveal, the August 2019 one to be exact. At the time, RAYA was set to be a Thanksgiving 2020 release until COVID-19 complications pushed it to March 2021.

This, of course, does not count the rumors and scoops. Sometimes, various sites get news on Disney animated movies before Disney themselves say anything. For example, long before Disney announced RAYA in August 2019 to the public, scooper sites were revealing info like "WDAS' next movie is DRAGON EMPIRE". I sometimes heard stuff from the trenches, which was always fun. I remember little snips of what ENCANTO was going to be maybe a year or two before announcement? STRANGE WORLD is interesting because not only were scoopers saying a movie called "Searcher Clade" was coming, but the Venture - the airship the Clade family and the explorers use to reach Avalonia's insides - was Easter Egged in the ENCANTO credits. ENCANTO debuted just a few weeks before the announcement, not even...

So yeah, I thought I'd look at the patterns of their recent releases. We're definitely well beyond the days where you'd hear about things 2-3 years in advance. Remember how ZOOTOPIA, a March 2016 release, was first unveiled at the 2013 D23 Expo? Fun times.

I'm guessing we'll hear about this new WDAS movie, reportedly an original fantasy story set in the Middle East (is this Suzi Yoonessi's film?), either right before WISH comes out... Or maybe a little after. Maybe current world events pertaining to the setting would make an imminent announcement seem a little insensitive?

After this movie, all we know about on the horizon are undated FROZEN and ZOOTOPIA sequels, with next to no info on who's attached.

There's also still the Disney+ shows that are in the works. We got none this year, despite earlier reports indicating otherwise. IWAJU, MOANA: The Series, and TIANA remain without firm release dates, but are all aiming for next year. IWAJU's absence is especially unusual, it's pretty far long as far as I know. Last year's D23, again - in September, gave us an image. Maybe it's been pulled back? Retooled? Maybe because it was outsourced to Cinesite and kinda resembles a Disney Junior show... Maybe it's been dropped as a WDAS project and is now a Disney TV Animation production? It's only speculation on my end, because that show is a collaboration with upstart Nigerian house Kugali, and that would be a partnership squandered if WDAS passed on the show.

Anyways, with Pixar... We got WIN OR LOSE around the corner, and next year ELIO and INSIDE OUT 2 have firm release dates. Both of those, by the way, officially revealed at the September 2022 D23 Expo. Pixar usually rolls 'em well before release, WDAS cuts it a lot closer these days for some reason. Like, are we gonna know what the summer 2025 Pixar movie is *before* the fall 2024 WDAS movie? (I'm being facetious here, haha.)

I'll keep trying to be patient, but I'm like burning to know... What is *this* movie?

Worth noting that a while back, Disney Animation CCO Jennifer Lee stated that Suzi Yoonessi, Josie Trinidad, and Marc Smith had movies in the works. At the time, Carlos Lopez Estrada had a movie in the works as well, but then he was pulled off of it (reportedly called FOSTER) to take over RAYA... and then he left Disney altogether not too long after RAYA came out. He was also set to direct a live-action/CGI ROBIN HOOD remake for the enterprise... So that leaves Yoonessi (whose Instagram bio still says "Director - Disney Animation"), Trinidad (who recently directed episodes of ZOOTOPIA+), and Smith (who was recently revealed to have come up with the idea for FROZEN III, he's probably directing that if Chris Buck is unavailable).

So yeah... This information, along with two sequels...

I said it before, but I don't think either ZOOTOPIA 2 or FROZEN III are next year's movie. If they were, I think we'd know who is directing/writing/etc. FROZEN III, given that Marc Smith came up with the idea, might be closer to us than ZOOTOPIA 2 is. Or not. FROZEN II came out 4 years ago, ZOOTOPIA is over 7 years old, one would think ZOOTOPIA 2 comes first. They're just very mum on who is involved. I'd like to think ZOOTOPIA 2 isn't being directed by Byron Howard, who is likely pursuing another original movie after ENCANTO, but maybe not? ZOOTOPIA 2 might reincorporate the whole movies' worth of ideas that were thrown out during its development (I particularly like that more James Bond-like story set on an island that it could've been), or maybe it'll go for an all-new story and idea. I have no idea where FROZEN III could go, I'm not as invested in those movies.

While WDAS usually does one-a-year, always settling for Thanksgiving, it'd be cool if they take a year where Pixar doesn't have two new movies, and release two movies that year. If they FEASIBLY CAN, that is. We don't want CRUNCH, now... But in the scenario that they could... Pixar has two for 2024, and two for 2026... Who's to say... WDAS can't slot in, maybe, ZOOTOPIA 2 in the spring of 2025, and have an original out for Thanksgiving? Just spitballing, here. ZOOTOPIA and MOANA both came out in 2016, so why the heck not?

Anyways, hope to know more soon about what's up with the studio that's literally why this whole damn company even exists in the first place.

SMART CITY Prefeito Hildon Chaves apresenta Porto Velho para empresários catalães, em evento em Barcelona

Missão internacional é promovida pela Frente Nacional de Prefeitos (FNP) O prefeito de Porto Velho, Hildon Chaves, apresenta as potencialidades do município para empresários catalães, durante a missão internacional promovida pela Frente Nacional de Prefeitos (FNP), que inclui a programação do Smart City Expo World Congress, maior evento sobre cidades inteligentes do mundo, realizado em Barcelona (Espanha), entre os dias 6 e 9 de novembro. "É um momento muito importante para a nossa cidade, que passa por um processo de urbanização e de desenvolvimento. Vamos mostrar nossas potencialidades e debater com outros prefeitos modelos de gestão e troca de experiências administrativas, o que sempre contribui para o aprimoramento do trabalho, sempre levando-se em conta as peculiaridades e a realidade de nosso município", destacou o prefeito, que é vice-presidente de Relações com o Judiciário da FNP. Diversos municípios brasileiros estarão apresentando suas potencialidades, numa parceria com a Câmara de Comércio Brasil Cataluñia. Estão presentes os seguintes prefeitos brasileiros: Cinthia Ribeiro (Palmas-TO), Rafael Greca (Curitiba-PR), Arthur Henrique (Boa Vista-RR), Duarte Nogueira (Ribeirão Preto-SP), Paulo Serra (Santo André-SP), Gustavo Henric Costa (Guarulhos-SP), Anderson Farias (São José dos Campos-SP), Elizabeth Schmidt (Ponta Grossa-PR), Victor Coelho (Cachoeiro de Itapemirim-ES), Pitágoras Ibiapina (Candeias-BA), Josué Ramos (Vargem Grande Paulista-SP), Luis Eduardo Falcão (Patos de Minas-MG), entre outros. Em seu discurso, o prefeito Hildon Chaves destacou as características principais de Porto Velho, sua capacidade produtiva, sua localização privilegiada junto à Amazônia e as dificuldades de se administrar uma cidade com território maior que alguns estados brasileiros. Falou também sobre o trabalho constante de melhorias para à população, a exemplo do transporte coletivo, com a mais nova frota do país, sua potência no agronegócio, e a transformação do parque de iluminação pública. "Porto Velho está concluindo, hoje, praticamente toda cidade com fibra ótica, e em paralelo substituindo nosso parque de iluminação. Antes, eram cerca de 20 mil pontos de luz, e hoje, depois de 7 anos de trabalho, são mais de 70 mil, sendo 40 mil já com lâmpadas de LED”, disse. Smart City Expo World Congress Hildon Chaves, junto de Fabricio Jurado, secretário Geral de Governo, e a comitiva de prefeitos devem conhecer experiências inovadoras de Barcelona, além de visitar a prefeitura da cidade e serem recebidos pelo prefeito Jaume Collboni, que também irá palestrar no evento Smart City Expo World Congress, que terá reuniões bilaterais com importantes empresas que oferecem soluções urbanas, encontros políticos e de negócios, diálogos com empresários catalães e reuniões com instituições internacionais. Com um programa de três dias e um público estimado em mais de 20 mil pessoas e mil expositores, o SCEWC é o principal evento internacional de cidades inteligentes. Em 2023, o conteúdo do Congresso se dividirá em 8 tópicos: Mobilidades, tecnologias habilitantes, energia e meio ambiente, governança, vida e inclusão, infraestrutura e construção, economia e proteção e segurança.
