Buon venerdì 17 gente

Oh so this Friday is gonna be Friday the 17th, which for Italians equals Friday the 13th in the US. It seems we connect bad luck with number 17 cause of the Genesis' Book in the Bible (The Great Flood started on the 17th of the 2nd month during the 600 year of Noah). The combination Friday + 17 may refer to the fact that Jesus died on a Friday.

Let's see other historical facts that talk about the number 17 as a sign of bad luck: - in the Ancient Greece: 17 was referred to as an imperfect number. It is in fact located between numbers 16 and 18, both considered perfect by Phytagoreans (they both represent quadrilaterals). - in the Ancient Rome (Roman Empire): in a battle of Teutoburgo, Romans lost their legions number 17, 18 and 19 against the Germans (all these numbers are considered sign of bad luck for some). - on graves, Romans used to write VIXI (from Latin = "I lived", as to say "I'm d3ad"), which is also the anagram of XVII (= how Romans used to write number 17: X=10+V=5+I=1+I=1). In the Medieval Era, because of the high levels of illiteracy, people confused VIXI with XVII a lot. - also in the famous "smorfia napoletana" number 17 brings bad luck.

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

Mickey17 was so good I'm still thinking about it. I went with two friends, and for one it was her first Bong Joon-ho movies and she got so hyped by how communist it was lol, I hope they watch more of his films.

Putting my original post on hold I looked up where the dash goes in his name and learned that Bong Joon-ho and i have the same birthday LET'S fucking go

Back on track, I really enjoyed the Jekyll and Hyde nature of Mickey's 17 and 18. At the end of the day, they are the same person but driven by different parts of their base desires, Pattinson did a really good portraying this and overall was stellar in his role. Naomi Ackie was also amazing, I loved her character, Nasha, and her relationship with Mickey, it was really sweet (and so cool that she just stayed badass throughout the film and never shrank herself for a man they just loved each other as equals). That being said, her final position in the film was...interesting, a kind of wish fulfillment that checks and balances and justice actually Work in any type of capitalist society.

Also, the creature design was fun, had a great time with the Creepers, I wish they had. A different name.

The B-17E was the first version of the Fortress to be produced in large numbers. It was originally designed to correct some of the deficiencies in the earlier Fortresses that had been brought to light as a result of combat reports coming in from Europe. The modifications which resulted in the B-17E were destined to turn an airplane which had been a relative failure into an outstanding success. A Bendix electrically-powered turret containing two 0.50-inch machine guns was installed on the upper fuselage immediately behind the flight deck. This turret was usually operated by the flight engineer. A power-operated belly turret replaced the ventral "bathtub" housing of the B-17D. This turret was remotely-controlled by a system of mirror periscopic sights from a Plexiglas bubble below the waist hatches. In order to achieve better stability during the bomb run, the span of the horizontal tailplane was increased, the vertical tail was greatly increased in area, and a long dorsal fin was fitted in front of the tail. The first B-17E flew on September 5, 1941. It immediately superseded the B-17D on the production line, and as fast as they could leave the production line, they were issued to operational units.

Italian guide on how you can fight "friday 17th bad luck": an English summary for all the supertitious folks

We believe Friday 17th brings bad luck because on Holy Friday, according to Bible, Jesus died and becaus ethe number/date 17 generally has a bad reputation in the West of the world (check the prev post).

The Greek word Eptacaidecafobia translates as "fear of number 17" and it has, it seems, Greek origins (all explained in the prev post too).

To fight this day and bad luck in general you can:

search and find a red ladybug with 7 black dots (easy, right?) carry a red corn (cornetto napoletano) find and carry and four leaves clover keep an horseshoe with you, opening towards the sky

Friday 17th

Oggi è venerdì 17, dell’anno 2017… almeno non è un anno bisestile! 

La superstizione che porta gli italiani a considerare venerdì 17 come “giornata porta sfortuna per eccellenza”, a differenza degli anglosassoni che ritengono sia venerdì 13, ha origini molto antiche.

Il giorno, venerdì, deriva dalla tradizione cristiana, che collega tale giorno alla morte di Gesù (avvenuta il Venerdì Santo), mentre la data, il 17, ha generalmente una connotazione negativa nella storia del mondo occidentale.

In greco, Eptacaidecafobia significa “paura del numero 17″, e la sua identificazione con qualcosa di negativo deriverebbe proprio dalla Civiltà Greca. Per i seguaci di Pitagora, era un numero da evitare in quanto era compreso tra il 16 e il 18, considerati perfetti. Nell’Antico Testamento, poi, il Diluvio Universale iniziò proprio il 17. Durante la battaglia di Teutoburgo, combattuta nel 9 D.C. tra Impero Romano ed Impero Germanico, le legioni 17,18, e 19 furono completamente distrutte. Da quel momento, nella tradizione romana, quei numeri furono considerati sinonimo di sventura. Sulle tombe dei defunti, spesso si poteva trovare la scritta VIXI (che in latino significa “ho vissuto”, cioè “sono morto”). Quest’ultima è anche l’anagramma di XVII, ovvero 17 in numeri romani. E se si guarda alla smorfia napoletana (il dizionario dei numeri del lotto) è sinonimo di disgrazia.

Che ci crediate o meno, vi lascio un brevissimo elenco di portafortuna (tra cui, uno collegabile anche alla Festa di San Patrizio, che, forse, bilancerà la cattiva sorte che aleggia da noi ahah): 

Coccinelle - se la coccinella è rossa ed ha 7 puntini neri (così come viene rappresentato il mantello della dea della fertilità Freyja e di Maria), porterà sicuramente fortuna. Cornetto rosso portafortuna - è il portafortuna più classico. Sembra un peperoncino e se ne associa la forza fisica che di solito è rappresentata dalle corna degli animali. Quadrifoglio - porta bene perché è molto raro. Ferro di cavallo - rigorosamente con l’apertura rivolta verso l’alto, altrimenti porta sfortuna.

Vi lascio anche un link che riporta alcune superstizioni, oltre a venerdì 17: x. Buona lettura! E fatemi sapere nel caso in cui vi servisse una traduzione ;)
