helloooo:) can i please get a kind message from Gerhard Fra (Delico’s Nursery)?:)

A female reader who is the mother of Angelico?

Dearest Lady wife, It had been a few weeks since Dali decided to mix...childcare along with our duties. It's an interesting affair that I have no issue with of course but, it will make the mission last much longer due to the children needing priority instead of Finding TRUMP. Angelico is becoming a fine aristocrat along with the others children. He has ceased his easily brought tears, an accomplishment no doubt your husband could do. He does insist I sleep with him at night where I see is YOUR influence. He is advancing and will continue to do so. I do ever hope to hear from your travels from Europe and be home safe to Angelico and I. Expect to come home to a party in your honor when you arrive back safely. Lovingly your Husband, Gerard Fra

love coming on here every day to see what insane shit the other frankgirls are saying about him today. good morning besties we are in the asylum together

Delico's Nursery: Kids (TVC Headcanon)

Ok, so the cast from the new anime Delico's Nursey was clearly loosely inspired by Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Chronicles' main characters, Louis, Lestat, Armand, and Marius.

But what about their children?

Until we're told otherwise, here's my current headcanon:

Dali Delico / Louis de Pointe du Lac:

Raphael: Rose Fisher (genderswapped) -- Raph witnessed his mom's murder, and I wonder what PTSD that will give him. Raph's very jealous of how much attention Ul gets, and it made me think of how drastically different Rose & Viktor's upbringing was. Rose/Raph had deeply traumatic childhoods, before Louis/Dali swooped in and saved their life. (Yes, Lestat did that first, but Rose would've died in that boarding school if Louis hadn't rescued her. Les couldn't even get to her until days later, after Dr. Fareed had already hospitalized her.)

Ul: Viktor Gilman de Lioncourt -- I'm literally projecting my wish that we'd seen Viktor grow up. But maybe AR skipped over it cuz he lived in a bubble all his life, secluded & protected by Dr. Flannery & Dr. Fareed. So there's really not much to Viktor, beyond being a son from a vitally important bloodline, who needs protecting--like we'd see when Rhoshamandes kidnapped him. In the timeskipped Trump stageplay, Ul grows up & wants to become an immortal vampire to protect those he loves, just like Viktor. In Grand Guignol stageplay, we learn that Ul's a dhamphir (halfbreed), just like Viktor's a strange genetic clone of the vampire Lestat.

Gerard Fra / Lestat de Lioncourt:

Angelico: Claudia (genderswapped) -- He looks like a spoiled brat, but seems to desperately want his dad's attention/affection, only to get brutally shot down. I hope for Gerard's sake that he eases up on Angie & stops perpetuating cycles of abuse/neglect, b4 Angie grows up to resent/hate him. Cuz we see how that turned out with Lestat & Claudia.... 😬💀 (The one thing giving me Viktor vibes is that Raph & Angie are the same age & are bffs. But Rose's literally Claudia 2.0, so...?)

Henrique Lorca / Armand:

Lucia: Sybelle / Mekare (?) The older & quiet twin.

Elena: Benji (genderswapped) / Maharet (?) The younger twin.

(They seem to be anime-onlies, not appearing in the stageplays?)

Dino Classico / Marius de Romanus:

Theodore: Pandora (genderswapped) Oldest of all the kids/fledglings. (Seems to be an anime-only, not appearing in the stageplays?)

All I need from the Aus tour is Gerard in a little skirt with little lacy garters holding up some little white stockings. Or Ray in those. Or Mikey. Or Fra

✨ NETFLIX GEEKED WEEK 2023: TUTTI I VIDEO E ANNUNCI LATO LIVE ACTION

Diamo un primo sguardo alla serie di Yu Yu Hakusho, Avatar - La Leggenda di Aang, alla seconda stagione di Sweet Home e allo spinoff di The Sandman!

Ed eccoci alla sezione live action della Geeked Week 2023! Lo showcase lungo un'intera settimana, dedicato a tutto quello che è Netflix si chiude oggi.

Come vi ho preannunciato nell'apertura del post dedicato all'animazione, sono mancate novità sulla terza stagione di Alice in Borderland, niente sul reboot di Death Note e il vuoto anche sul film di Gundam. Qualcosa di potenzialmente interessante però è stato mostrato.

🔶🔸YU YU HAKUSHO

Quando la serie animata arrivò in Italia, c'era chi seguiva One Piece e chi guardava Yu Yu Hakusho; inutile dire che i veri chad fossero questi ultimi.

Forse è anche per questo che, se fosse possibile, o ancor più dubbi su questo di adattamento che su quello dell'opera di Oda. L'effetto nostalgia amplifica ogni margine di errore, che con Netflix hanno ormai livelli memetici di cui la piattaforma farà molta fatica a cancellare (anche se da quello che ho sentito la serie di One Piece non è quella enorme montagna di immondizia che tutti si aspettavano 🤔).

Da questo primo trailer, la serie diretta da Sho Tsukikawa (Let Me Eat Your Pancreas, My Little Monster) sembra quantomeno competente nella presentazione e lato coreografico. La domanda è se sarà la classica weebata uncanny che dopo pochi minuti ti mette a disagio o se sarà una piacevole tamarrata da patatine e birra, da guardare con gli amici ripensando ai vecchi tempi. Lo scopriremo il 14 dicembre .

🔶🔸SWEET HOME

Dopo il successo virale di Squid Game, Netflix è andata all in sui drama coreani e fra i titoli finiti in catalogo c'è anche la serie horror apocalittica basata sull'omonimo webtoon di Kim Kan-bi e Hwang Young-chan.

Il teaser trailer qui sotto, fissa il debutto della seconda stagione per il 1 dicembre.

🔶🔸AVATAR - LA LEGGENDA DI AANG

Altra, pericolosissima, operazione nostalgia, che va a ripescare un'ulteriore serie a me molto cara! Scacciando via i brutti ricordi di quel obbrobrio rigurgitato da Shyamalan, che andai a vedere al cinema ai tempi, questa nuova rivisitazione live action della premiata serie animata di Nickelodeon sembra partire con il piede giusto. Ho quasi paura a dirlo: il trailer promette bene... ?

Non dico altro, non voglio gufare. La prima stagione sarà composta da 8 episodi e uscirà il 22 febbraio 2024.

🔶🔸THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY

Toccata e fuga per la popolare serie di Steve Blackman, ispirata al fumetto firmato Gerard Way e Gabriel Bá.

Giusto quattro chiacchiere con il cast e la conferma che la quarta e ultima stagione arriverà nel 2024.

🔶🔸DEAD BOY DETECTIVES

Dopo la buona ricezione della serie tratta dal magnifico The Sandman di Neil Gaiman (l'adattamento non è male, ma il fumetto è su un livello completamente diverso) si doveva capitalizzare in qualche modo, in attesa della seconda stagione, no? Come? Con uno spinoff, ma è ovvio! *la DC applaude sullo sfondo*

I protagonisti sono due fantasmi che, con l'aiuto di una sensitiva, risolvono vari casi di natura soprannaturale. Come premessa ci può stare, ma la serie si terrà in piedi da sola? L'appartenenza alla stesso universo degli Eterni avrà un senso o sarà solo un pretesto di marketing? Vedremo. La data di uscita è ancora da definire.

Chiudiamo con una simpatica sessione di papere, direttamente dal set di One Piece.

La serie è stata ufficialmente rinnovata per una seconda stagione, ma al momento non ci sono altre novità.

La scorsa settimana, l’agenzia Ansa riportava che (...) Enel ha definitivamente abbandonato la Russia, vendendo i propri assets a Lukoil e Gazprom in seno a un’operazione da 137 milioni di euro. Apparentemente, una mossa coerente con il regime sanzionatorio e con il nuovo corso di affrancamento energetico (...) da Mosca. Ma con un particolare. La chiusura dell’accordo è stata resa possibile da una deroga al decreto che vieta la vendita di qualsiasi asset russo da parte di soggetti stranieri. Di più. La deroga in questione sarebbe stata decisa da Vladimir Putin in persona. (...)

(Q)uesto apre qualche interrogativo (...) su quali eventuali canali diplomatici e di moral suasion la abbiano resa possibile. Casualmente, nel giorno in cui emergeva la necessità di (...) Enel (...) Silvio Berlusconi pare colto da incontinenza verbale (e) conferma un suo riavvicinamento nei rapporti personali con Vladimir Putin (...).

Al netto delle smentite di rito, (...) dobbiamo davvero archiviare la strana coincidenza fra (l'operazione benedetta da Mosca) e l’outing del Cavaliere alla categoria della casualità fortuita? Oppure l’orgoglio ferito del vecchio leone lo ha spinto ad andare oltre, svelando quello che è ormai un segreto di Pulcinella. Cioè che i principali Governi europei – Germania e Francia in testa – hanno riallacciato un segreto, silenzioso e informale filo diretto con le controparti russe da settimane? E che nel caso dell’Italia, questa diplomazia parallela graviti magari attorno al Cavaliere?

A Berlino nessuno lo ammette, ma dietro alla decisione di riattivare fino alla prossima primavera le centrali nucleari, ottenendo il via libera convinto dei Verdi, non c’è stata la benedizione dell’atomo di ultima generazione di Greta Thunberg, ma il ritorno in campo, chiaramente dietro le quinte, di Angela Merkel. La quale starebbe dando vita a una sorta di moral suasion silenziosa e discreta con Mosca, potendo godere di una sponda bipartisan di primissimo livello come Gerard Schroeder, suo predecessore e poi nel Consiglio di amministrazione di Rosneft. E non pensiate che la cosa piaccia a tutti nel Governo, così come nel sottogoverno tedesco. (...)

E vogliamo parlare della Francia? Non contenta dell’accusa frontale senza precedenti di Brune Le Maire contro l’atteggiamento speculativo di Washington nei confronti degli alleati, a cui vende il gas LNG a un prezzo quadruplo rispetto a quello pagato dalle aziende statunitensi, l’altro giorno Emmanuel Macron ha stupito tutti affermando che, se anche la Russia utilizzasse ordigni atomici nel conflitto con l’Ucraina, Parigi non reagirebbe in base alla dottrina della deterrenza. (...)

Insomma, la realpolitik sta tornando in grande stile. Ancorché in modalità sotterranea. Sicuramente saranno tutte coincidenza, ma attenzione a derubricare troppo in fretta le parole di Silvio Berlusconi su Vladimir Putin a pura mitomania senile. Il Cavaliere ha infatti un unico modo per rubare la scena ai due ex delfini divenuti squali del nascente Governo: una nuova Pratica di Mare, sotterranea e informale, che porti alla pace fra Russia e Ucraina. O, quantomeno, alla tregua e a un negoziato. Di fatto, un lasciapassare per i libri di Storia. E il suo ego sta fremendo.

Il tutto con buona pace dei criceti cretini che abberlushconi uh uh uh ih ih ih , coincidenti con gli euroinomani senza se e ma mentre l'europa vera alle loro spalle non fa (price cap) e disfa, poveri succhiacxx Libberal Dems. che "se non sei con Biden ooops con la sua lavanderia Ucragna allora stai con Putin", "le sanzioni funzionano", "la guerra è già vinta".

Your Eyes, Vacant and Stained

Ch.7 - 4.5k

Pairing: Frank Iero x Gerard Way

"Perfect! Let's check out the other RV's then. Charlotte, while we search, could you turn on the vehicles to check their gas levels?" Charlotte nodded. "Mikey, can you stay watch while we search the RV's?"

"As long as I'm not alone."

"Okay, Frank since you have an axe, do you want to stand watch with Mikey?" Frank was taken aback that he was asked, but did not say no; he just nodded. Mikey, on the other hand, did nothing to hide his annoyance but also did not protest.

Warnings 

Gore, Death, Murder, WORK-IN-PROGRESS, not completed (and chapters unknown) but I know the ending, trust me guys I will write it, I just need people to love this idea with me, Zombies, Gay, mcr??

Support my AO3 with part seven otherwise, enjoy ♥

Chap.1 | Chap.2 | Chap.3 | Chap.4 | Chap.5 | Chap.6 | Chap.8 | Chap.9 | Chap.10 |

Frank was the first one to walk towards the front door but Charlotte quickly got ahead of him, she had her right hand full of keys hanging from her fingers but no weapon. Instead, Scarlet was close next to her holding both.

"So, if the paperwork is correct, this key," She pulled the first key from her pointer finger. "should let us into this RV." There were only three keys on that finger and, as Frank looked around the lot again, only one was on this side of the building. The other two were tucked around the other side of the building and could only be seen from their rear-ends peaking out. Charlotte had used the key and gotten the RV open while Frank was looking around.

Ray was the one to volunteer to check inside before everyone else, "We peaked through the windows earlier and didn't see anyone but y'never know." Everyone backed up to give Ray some space, Mikey and Gerard were close behind him, weapons drawn and ready. Ray yanked open the door and the atmosphere became uncomfortably silent. The slight shuffle of Rays sneakers on asphalt almost made Frank jump, his heart was beating in his ears.

The RV moved slightly as he pressed his body weight up the stairs as quietly as he could. He whipped his head from the drivers seats to the back quickly before disappearing into the darkness. Frank watched intensely as the rest waited for Ray to come back, or scream. No one noticed Gerard look back at Frank to give him a reassuring grin, Frank was worried his fear was spreading across his face that he had attempted to keep as stoic as Mikey usually was.

Ray's head popped back out and a group sigh of relief happened. Ray had a goofy grin before saying, "Sorry, I just wanted to be as dramatic as possible. This thing is totally empty." Frank, Gerard and Scarlet all filed into the vehicle. Mikey volunteered to stay outside with Charlotte as she held the keys, not wanting to get them possibly mixed up. Scarlet leaned Charlotte's golf club against the side of the RV before going in behind Frank.

Ray had gone to the back of the camper where the beds were and was visibly tossing the tiny room around. Gerard went straight to the front of the camper and started digging through the glove compartment and pockets around both seats. Frank and Scarlet looked at each other desperately new to looting in the apocalypse and decided to take either sides of the kitchenette area. Scarlet was a bit taller than Frank and silently decided to peak through the hanging cabinets while Frank begrudgingly got to his knees to rummage through the standing cabinets.

"Nothing back here but some women's clothes and blankets." Ray tossed another blanket lazily onto the bed, giving the rest a look of disappointment. Scarlet was immediately distracted by him.

"Women's clothes? What size?" Scarlet had stopped searching as Frank begrudgingly tossed aside more pots and pans, finding nothing of use.

Ray shrugged, "I dunno? Small? Medium?" He started looking around for the clothes he tossed about but Scarlet had abandoned her spot to take over the room from Ray. Ray swiftly moved out of her way and joined Frank in the kitchen.

Frank huffed loudly before giving up, "Nothing down here either." He shouted to the group. Ray's hand appeared in front of his face, he looked up and was greeted by Ray's soft smile. He accepted his offer to help him stand.

"Ah ha!!" Scarlet exclaimed from the back, holding up a handful of different colored fabrics. Frantically she started checking the tags. Much to her disappointment, none of then would fit her.

"Yeah, there's just loose money and... shit," Gerard threw around random papers and wrappers from the front of the camper. "Nothin'."

A sigh of disappointment rained on them as they filed off the camper to Mikey and Charlotte again.

"Anything?" She asked them, but Scarlet just shook her head, taking Charlotte's club again.

"Well, let's try the next two!" Charlotte tried to keep her attitude high to keep the groups enthusiasm up but after the next two campers showed up mostly empty save for some bedding and more clothes, nothing could bring the mood back up. They had hoped one of the three within the gate would have a shower of some kind but the only plumbing all three had were the small sinks in the tiny kitchens.

The group reconvened in front of the building again. Charlotte had left each RV key with their respective camper before heading to the next, she only had four keys left for the RV's that sat outside the main gate.

"So..." Gerard spoke up." We have some gas for the trunk we drove here," he thumbed towards their truck. "But that doesn't take the same gas as the campers do-"

"And there's barely enough space for us." Mikey butt in.

"Yeah, so I'm not opposed to switching over to a camper for when we leave?" Gerard continued, mostly ignoring Mikey. Charlotte chucked at him.

"Scarlet and I carpooled here in her mini-coop. It wouldn't fit all of us either. Do we wanna check the campers and see if any have gas?"

"Maybe we should check the RV's outside the gate first?" Ray asked.

"What for? Doesn't seem like a lot of these people brought shit they needed to camp with." Frank rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, that's the worst part about this place." Charlotte started.

"People who vacation here are usually very rich so they just don't think they need a lot of the same survival stuff that normal people do. Like cans of food."

"Or showers." Mikey huffed, rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, I was completely unaware you could even buy an RV without a shower." Frank was leaning against their truck now.

"They're the small kinds of campers, we see them all the time." Scarlet waved him off. "But the ones outside of the gate seems bit bigger, I bet one of them has one!" This caused everyone to start arguing over each other about whether to take their loses and leave or to keep searching through the campers. Scarlet stood and watched as everyone argued, her face grew red as she started to feel worse for causing such a rift.

But, Ray saved the day and spoke in a loud, booming voice. "OKAY. GUYS." He clapped his hands and everyone stopped, all looking in different directions than the next person. Scarlet's face cooled but the redness was replaced with a light blush color. "We can't just stand here and argue about what to do next. It's already past noon so we might as well prepare to stay here another night. No big deal." Mikey rolled his eyes again, which only Ray caught. "Since we're going to stay, let's just check out the other RV's. Worst case scenario, we have to fight off a couple of zombies. Best case, we find a shower and food and push the thing into the gates."

Charlotte let out a hardy laugh. "You think we could push a whole RV around the gate and into the lot?"

Ray shrugged, "Figured it would be safer then turning it on and making a ton of noise before we're ready to leave?"

"You guys made a ton of noise coming here and the zombies didn't follow you up to the gate?" Scarlet added.

"You have a point... I didn't think about that before..." Ray quizzically held his chin. "Do you think we could turn it on and get it back in here without attracting another horde though?" Scarlet and Charlotte shrugged together.

"I think we're getting very ahead of ourselves here, already, guys." Gerard jumped in. "Let's just check out the campers first, if one of them has a shower we'll still need to find a water hookup for it. Frank and I did go through a lot to get a few canisters of diesel so I'd hate to see it go to waste but I can collect more."

"We have a water hookup around back, actually." Charlotte said.

"Perfect! Let's check out the other RV's then. Charlotte, while we search, could you turn on the vehicles to check their gas levels?" Charlotte nodded. "Mikey, can you stay watch while we search the RV's?"

"As long as I'm not alone."

"Okay, Frank since you have an axe, do you want to stand watch with Mikey?" Frank was taken aback that he was asked, but did not say no; he just nodded. Mikey, on the other hand, did nothing to hide his annoyance but also did not protest.

Instead of going through the main gate, Scarlet and Charlotte took them around back to show them where the water hookup was and to let them out of the parking lot from a smaller, more quiet gate meant for staffers to get to the green easier.

Since yesterday, it seemed as though the green had cleared, or at least the zombies had all wandered off far enough to stay out of their way as they made their way around the gate to the unprotected lot. There were tons of cars parked out here, scattered from the front of the lot to about two blocks away from the actual building. The RV's were all within just a couple of spots of each other in the spots marked as "Camper Parking Only".

The parking lot was not as free of zombies as the green had been. Within a couple of the cars, people with discolored skin and chunks of flesh missing were scratching at their doors and windows towards the group as they walked by. Since they came around from the back, the RV's were closer than if they had come from the front, but that did not prevent them from getting jumped. The zombies within their cars had made Charlotte recoil but when two jumped out at them from between a few big vans, Charlotte and Scarlet had yelped and jumped away from the group.

Ray quickly took care of the two zombies, throwing one off his body by slammed it into a car and using his bat to bring the other one down onto the pavement. He smashed the one onto the pavement in the skull twice, creating a loud crunching followed by a splurting sound before he whipped around and, with little time to react, was saved by Gerard. The zombie had regained its footing faster than he expected and Gerard jumped between the two connecting his bat with the skull of this zombie. Another loud crunch filled the air as Gerard followed the zombie down, smashing his bat into the head again as it hit the pavement. Both men were heaving by the time the zombies were down, one twitched but neither tried to get up again.

"Thanks." Ray clapped Gerard's shoulder.

"Always double tap." Gerard told the group before waving them forward to the campers. The first one in this line-up was no larger than the first three they had checked out, but Gerard still suggested looking just in case. Ray checked inside the campers first, like last time, before giving the okay for the rest to come in. Mikey and Frank stationed themselves on opposing sides of the camper, not saying a word to each other. As expected, this first camper was empty. When Charlotte checked the gas tank, it was less than half full.

Defeated the group moved onto the second one down the line. This one was bigger than the rest, but when Ray busted in he was immediately thrown back down a step by a zombie chomping at him. He was using his bat as a block between his body and the zombie but the zombie did not care about the barbed wire digging into it's chest. Ray stepped off the camper steps and threw the zombie down onto the pavement, topping it to hold it down. Mikey grabbed the next zombie that emerged from the camper, one that was much smaller than the first, and threw it to the pavement as well. As Ray smashed the big ones head, Gerard took to the small one and also caved in it's skull. Another three zombies flew out of the RV as everyone was half distracted, two small ones and one big one. Mikey took another small one and threw it to the ground, Frank hit the last small one in the back of the head with his axe, slicing almost completely through it's neck.

Ray pushed himself up and hit the one Frank almost decapitated to make sure it's whole head was gone. Mikey had squashed the second small one as Gerard was wrestling the last big one to the ground much like Ray had done with the first. Frank quickly came over and used his axe to separate the head from the body of the one Gerard had pinned under him. Scarlet and Charlotte had shuffled to hide behind the door to watch as the guys took on the fight.

"This one better have a fucking shower." Gerard growled as Frank helped him off his knees. All of them, save for the girls, had splatters of blood and chunks of brain matter covering their clothes, faces, and hair.

Ray cracked his neck before pushing forward into the camper again. "It's clear!" He shouted from inside, Charlotte and Scarlet had moved in quickly behind each other. Frank was unaware of why Mikey followed them in until he saw Gerard had pulled out and lit a cigarette without him noticing. He ran his fingers through his long, black hair, pushing it back out of his face almost using the blood to slick it back.

"Where'd you get that?" Frank pointed at his mouth, Gerard smirked.

"It's a secret." He winked and Frank did what he could to not blush. Gerard took a long drag before holding the butt out to Frank. Frank took a couple puffs before handing it back. Unlike the dull buzz he was used to from weed, nicotine still had a fresh effect on him. The two passed the cigarette between them for a few more hits before Gerard spoke up again. "Thanks. For saving me, or whatever."

Frank shrugged, "I was just makin' sure you didn't get bit. That's why we stay together, right? To survive?" Gerard's smirk melted Frank in his shoes every time, especially when he'd side-eye him. Frank was usually one to hold his shoulders high and be dominate towards others but Gerard was making him feel so small. And he liked that.

Ray popped out of the RV, "So, this one does have a shower, but not much gas."

"Well, we can always take gas from the other cars." Gerard waved his hand around at the plethora of cars still around them.

"Okay, there's no food on here still but there's five beds so..." Mikey's arm came into view handing Ray a slip of paper before disappearing back into the camper. "Oh, yeah and... uh... yeah, this..." Ray stumbled over his words and just held the paper out towards them. Frank took it and 'ughed' loudly, swallowing a gag as Gerard slipped in next to him to see the photo of the family they just dismembered. Ray watched silently, Frank was barely able to continue looking at the picture, let alone the bodies.

"Yeah, I'm not too surprised. They looked child sized." Gerard was emotionless. He took a long drag from the cigarette before taking the photo over to one of the adults to stuff the photo into their pocket. Ray had popped back into the camper while Frank dry heaved away from the bodies. Gerard clapped Frank on the back this time, offering him the cigarette again but Frank just held up his hand. "It'll get easier." Gerard finished the cigarette.

"So, I think if we can get two of us to get the gates open right before we pull the RV around, we could probably curb the zombies that follow us in." Charlotte was discussing a plan as everyone joined Frank and Gerard.

"That makes sense, I don't mind going. Charlotte, you should drive it over, you're the one who got us the keys." Ray volunteered. Charlotte blushed a little but determination covered her face.

"I'll stick with Charlotte!" Scarlet announced.

"I can go with you, Ray." Gerard offered.

"Sweet. Mikey, Frank, maybe one of you stay with the girls and one of you comes with us?" Frank was deep breathing with his forehead pressed against the hot car.

"I can stay." Mikey said without hesitation. Frank was thankful but was too focused on calming his stomach to reply, instead he just waved a thumbs up and continued his breathing.

"Perfect, so then Mikey, Charlotte, Scarlet, wait for us to hit the gate with one of our bats then start the RV. We'll pull the gates open then shut them once you're inside. You guys ready?" Ray pointed to Frank, mostly, but looked at Gerard.

"Do you want to check out the last RVs?" Gerard questioned.

"I mean..." He motioned at Frank, who was not looking. "We can always check it tomorrow. We did kinda take out... a lot..." Ray looked around at the bodies they left scattered behind them. "Plus, it's getting dark. We should move this thing in before it's too dark. Zombies don't really wear reflective gear." Gerard nodded understandingly and grabbed Frank's shoulder.

"You good to move..?" Gerard spoke in a low voice to Frank. "I'll be blocked them from your view." He offered. Frank took a moment before nodding and peeling his face off the metal. Charlotte and Scarlet had already started back up the stairs into the camper as Gerard took Frank under his arm to guide him away from the bodies with Ray. Mikey stayed outside the camper as the two girls climbed into the front seats, awaiting their signal.

The walk around to the front was relatively easy. Most of the zombies they saw were locked in their cars, or too far to be bothered with the three of them. Once they arrived at the gate, Ray gave it a good yank to see how easy it would be to open and was surprised that the automated system within didn't create any resistance.

"Alright, you guys ready?" Gerard and Frank nodded together, readied with their weapons. Ray banged on the iron of the gate and looked around to make sure no zombies were disturbed by the sound. From afar, the sound of the camper sputtering to life gave them more of a fright than the simple banging on the gate. But, to their surprise and relief, they were able to cruise the RV through the parking lot, onto the main road, and into the gates without too much disturbance. Very much unlike the guys welcome to the girls. They were in the clear as they went through the gates and started pulling them back to lock them in again, a loud shatter of glass had made the three of them looking around in panic as zombies started to climb out of a nearby houses window.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit." Gerard exclaimed as they yanked harder, the resistance from the automation that usually controlled the gate was effecting them now. Frank took his hands off the gate and pulled his axe up, ready to swing as the zombified bodies hit the ground and rolled into the main road. As they stood, they pushed on into something near a sprint. One was slugging a broken leg, one was dragging itself with it's hands, and one was basically still able-bodied enough to run with little to no hold back.

The fast one reached them before the gates could close completely. "FRANK, GET IT!" Gerard's yelled broke Frank's frozen fear as he could not get his mind off of the children he had brutalized.

They are already dead... They are already dead... He repeated to himself.

"FRANK, I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF YOU DON'T-" Before Gerard could finish, Frank threw his axe up over his head and, with his own yell, threw it down onto the runners skull. Splitting it open in two from the top and slicing down through to it's neck like a knife through warm butter. Gerard and Ray closed their eyes and flinched as more blood and brains sprayed at them. Frank had stood wide eyed, now covered in brain matter as well. He pulled the axe up again and, as the body was dropping to the ground, he brought it down again into it's chest. He did this a third time. Then a fourth before pulling himself away from the body. Ray and Gerard were almost completely distracted by Frank to realize another one had reached the gate as well now.

The RV's engine cut. "What the hell are you guys doing?!" Mikey screamed from the camper, throwing the door open he ran at them with his bat and hit the one with the dragging leg. Frank was standing and staring at them, eyes still wide with shock as one eye twitched while Mikey took out the other zombie. Ray and Gerard pulled the gate shut just as the one dragging itself by it's hands got to the gate. It was chomping at them and hitting the gate mindlessly like an elderly person attempting to get into a store past closing hours. Ray and Gerard sighed together before fist bumping.

Mikey whipped around the Frank. "What the fuck were you thinking?! You were supposed to help them, why were you just standing there?!" But Frank just stared, eyes wide and blood dripping down his face. Mikey took each of his shoulders in his hands and shook him. "Frank. Frank, what the FUCK man?!"

Instead of responding like a normal person would, Frank just looked at Mikey with wild eyes, a smile broke across his face and he chuckled a little. This only pissed Mikey off more and, out of instinct, Mikey slapped him. Frank stood stunned. Hand instinctively going to the cheek that was just slapped. He blinked a few times and Gerard and Ray grabbed Mikey by the arms and yanked him off Frank. "He almost got all of us killed, he deserved this. He LAUGHED."

"But we didn't die, everyone's fine!" Gerard started, "He's in shock, Mike. We've been doing this awhile, he's hardly had to kill anything yet."

"The only reason we aren't zombie food is because of ME, not him!" Mikey was struggling hard against their grip but Ray and Gerard together were able to keep him restrained.

"Mikey, you've got to chill, man. We all have made mistakes." Ray attempted to coax Mikey down as Frank held his cheek and continued to stare at the three men.

"I warned him to not hold us back when we met him and he almost just let you two die. We're just going to pretend that didn't just happen?!"

"I... I'm sorry." Frank's voice came out small but sincere.

"Sorry my ASS. Frank, if you can't carry your weight, you need to leave. Find another crew who you wont hold back."

"Mikey!" Ray and Gerard scolded him together as he stopped fighting back against their restraint.

"This is... difficult... I don't-"

"I don't care." Mikey sounded venomous. "This shit is difficult for all of us, not just you. You need to get your shit together."

"I'm sorry." Frank's crazy eyes tamed, but the blood spatter across his face still gave him a haunting appearance. "I froze up. I fucked up. I'm fucking sorry."

"Sorry doesn't change shit. Don't let it fucking happen again." Mikey ripped his arm from Gerard's grip, Ray willingly let him go and he stomped back towards the building. Mikey checked Frank's shoulder as he walked by, nearly pushing Frank onto the ground.

Once Mikey was out of view, Ray and Gerard noticed Charlotte and Scarlet peaking out of the RV, watching them silently. With the show being over now the two of them climbed off the camper and speed walked back inside with their heads down. Ray and Gerard exchanged a look as Frank stared at the body he brutalized.

"I'll go talk to him..." Gerard started on his way to find Mikey when he stopped next to Frank to speak in his ear again. "Frankie, you're fine. Shit like this happens. We weren't always this used to killing, I promise. We've all frozen up before." Gerard put a comforting hand on Frank's bicep and gently squeezed. The warmth of Gerard's hands brought some comfort to Frank, reminding him he was still alive and was still human.

Ray moved in to comfort Frank when Gerard moved away finally. "Don't be mad at Mikey, he's always struggled with anger but it got worse after... we left home." Frank could tell Ray was holding back but decided not to push for more information. "I'm not saying to give him a break, or excuse how he acted. Just... Don't let it impede on your judgement of him. He's been struggling more than Gerard and I have." Frank met Ray's eyes and nodded. Ray's smile could be seen in his eyes and he took Frank into a hug that surprised him.

Ray's arms around him made him feel good and safe. His body immediately sagged into Ray's as he wrapped his arms around to hug him back. He inhaled Ray's smell as he took a calming deep breath, which was almost overpowered by the smell of rotting body, but it was still there in the crook of his neck. Ray broke the hug sooner than Frank wanted to, still smiling down at Frank. "Y'know, Gerard was right."

"About?"

"We've all frozen up before. It was really hard for us to get used to this but we..." Ray sighed and closed his eyes momentarily, his smile fading. "We got used to this kind of a thing after having to... having to take out a few people we were really close with. It feels more like murder when it's someone you love." Ray attempted to give a comforting smile but only appeared to be sad. "You have to remind yourself it isn't murder if they've already been taken.

It isn't murder if they're already taken... Frank repeated in his head as Ray also headed back inside. The monster that had reached the gate was tiredly chomping at Frank still, but his ears began ringing as soon as Ray's feet against pavement faded away. Frank took his head in his hands and squatted to the ground. Eyes squeezed shut as he processed what just happened. God, you're going to make them all hate you before you can even get to your family... Frank still had heard nothing from his parents, or his brother, causing him to give up on attempting to reach them. He pushed the palms of his hands hard enough against his eyes to see stars before rubbing the pain in his head away through his temples.

Tomorrow will be better. I will do better tomorrow. It is not murder if it is already taken.

Lionel Messi ingen mulighed for at vende tilbage til FC Barcelona

Mange stjerner har forladt de fem store ligaer i år, og Cristiano Ronaldo er den første spiller, der vælger at slutte sig til Saudi Professional League. Karim Benzema og Enes Kanter valgte også den maksimale lønkontrakt i Saudi Professional League, og Lionel Messi tog også en stor karrierebeslutning. Lionel Messi valgte ikke at vende tilbage til FC Barcelona, og den klassiske nr. 10-fodboldtrøjer outlet tilhører ham ikke længere.

Lionel Messi og Paris Saint-Germain forlader holdet som en fri agent, når deres kontrakter udløber i juni. Lionel Messi modtog dog ikke invitationer fra andre hold, og han besluttede at realisere sin drøm om at spille fodbold i Amerika. Da medierne interviewede FC Barcelonas formand Joan Laporta, viste han en meget utilfreds holdning. Joan Laporta giver stadig ikke Lionel Messi respekt, han er kun villig til at give et tilbud med lav løn. Selv tidligere FC Barcelona-spiller Gerard Piqué sagde, at han satte spørgsmålstegn ved, om FC Barcelona oprigtigt ønskede at hente Lionel Messi. Hans og veteranens afgang har efterladt FC Barcelona med lønrum, men det tidligere hold kan stadig ikke hente Lionel Messi. Set fra et andet perspektiv viser det, at FC Barcelona har en alvorlig økonomisk situation, og Joan Laporta har ikke lettet klubbens økonomi efter sin tiltræden.

Lionel Messi har opnået et grand slam af karrieretitler, og han har sin egen professionelle status i fodbold. Lionel Messi valgte ikke FC Barcelona trøje. Det var hans egen beslutning. Han så holdningen hos sit tidligere hold, før han kom til Paris Saint-Germain. Lionel Messis afgang har allerede haft en økonomisk indflydelse på Paris Saint-Germain, og den kommercielle værdi, han bringer, er gradvist blevet mindre. Den 35-årige Lionel Messi besluttede at slutte sig til Inter Miami CF, og USAs sportskultur og forretningslayout er alle nyttige for ham.

Waar?   Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten Antwerpen, Antwerpen

Wanneer?   24 maart 2023

Het Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunst Antwerpen is totaal gerenoveerd. Van de laatste keer dat ik er was, herinner ik me de vervallen staat. Er stonden nog net geen emmertjes om het lekkende regenwater op te vangen, al weet ik zelfs dat niet helemaal zeker! Nu is een van de mooiste verzamelingen van België ondergebracht in een geheel vernieuwd en aan alle moderne eisen voldoend gebouw.

Ik klim na binnenkomst gelijk naar de tweede verdieping, waar zich de oude meesters bevinden. Een van de eerste werken die ik te zien krijg betreft een thema dat ik deze week al een paar keer heb zien langskomen: de heilige Lucas schildert de Madonna. Volgens de traditie schilderde de evangelist Lucas als eerste een portret van Maria met Kind. Dit wordt gezien als het begin van de christelijke beeldcultuur. Daarom werd Lucas de patroonheilige van de schilders. Het werk in het KMSKA is van de hand van Maarten de Vos. Het aardige van dit werk is dat je niet alleen Madonna en Kind als model ziet zitten, maar ook kunt vaststellen wat de heilige schilder van hun portret heeft gemaakt. Op de achtergrond is een assistent bezig stoffen fijn te malen voor de verf. Aan de voeten van de schilder zit het symbool dat bij de evangelist Lucas hoort: een os. Op de achtergrond zien we architectonische details en een stilleven met globe en boek. Een wolk met engeltjes zweeft boven het tafereel.

Gerard Seghers was een Vlaamse carravagist. Net als Theodoor Rombouts, waarvan ik eerder deze week een tentoonstelling zag in Gent, was Seghers onder invloed gekomen van Bartelomeo Manfredi. Het werk Heilige Theresia van Avila in extase toont hoe een engel het hart van Theresia doorboort met een vurige pijl van liefde. Deze scène is nooit mooier afgebeeld dan door beeldhouwer Bernini in de Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome. Ik zag het werk meerdere keren en het maakte altijd weer indruk. Naast de hoofdscène die we ook in dit schilderij zien, beeldde Bernini twee groepen toeschouwers af: leden van de familie Cornaro aan wie de kapel was gewijd. Die toeschouwers doen mij altijd denken aan het duo Waldorf en Statler in de Muppets Show. Maar terug naar Seghers. Zijn Theresia is een typisch caravaggistisch werk: theatraal geënsceneerd met chiaroscuro-effecten. Grappig zijn de drie engelenkopjes bovenin.

De Madonna van Jean Fouquet doet merkwaardig modern aan voor een middeleeuws werk. Deels komt dit door de sterk gestileerde figuren, deels door de kleuren. In eerste instantie dacht ik dat het een modern werk was dat tussen de oude meesters hing. Dat is in het vernieuwde museum namelijk niet ongebruikelijk. Tussen oude schilderijen kom je moderne werken tegen en Jordaens an Fra Angelico kregen een plaatsje tussen de moderne meesters. Maar Fouquet hoort als vijftiende-eeuwer wel degelijk thuis op de afdeling Oude Meesters. Het vingertje van Jezus wijst naar Etienne Chevalier, de opdrachtgever van dit schilderij. Het tweede luik, waarop hij is geportretteerd, hangt in Berlijn.

Ik begon mijn Vlaaamse vakantieweekje in Gent met het bezoeken van de Sint-Baafskathedraal en het aanschouwen van het Lam Gods. Dat deed Pierre François De Noter blijkbaar ook. Hij moet wat meer tijd in de kerk hebben doorgebracht dan ik, want hij schilderde het veelluik in situ. Deze uiterst gedetailleerde weergave van het werk kan niet anders worden opgevat dan als een ultieme huldeblijk aan zijn collega en voorganger: Jan van Eyck.

[straznicyimmaterializmu]

Dulcynianie byli sektą religijną późnego średniowiecza, wywodzącą się z Braci Apostolskich. Dulcynianie lub Dulcynici i Apostolczycy inspirowali się ideałami franciszkańskimi i byli pod wpływem Joachimitów, ale Kościół katolicki uważał ich za heretyków. Ich nazwa wywodzi się od przywódcy ruchu Fra Dolcino z Novary (ok. 1250–1307), spalonego jako heretyk z rozkazu papieża Klemensa V.

Sekta Dulcynian rozpoczęła się w 1300 roku, kiedy Gherardo Segarelli, założyciel Braci Apostolskich, został spalony na stosie w Parmie podczas brutalnych represji Apostolskich. Jego wyznawcy ukryli się, aby ratować swoje życie. Fra Dolcino wstąpił do Apostols między 1288 a 1292 rokiem i został ich przywódcą. Opublikował pierwszy ze swoich listów, wyjaśniając swoje poglądy na temat epok historycznych w oparciu o teorie Gioacchino da Fiore.

Fra Dolcino na początku 1303 roku ponownie zjednoczył ruch apostolski nad jeziorem Garda. Spotkał Małgorzatę Trydencką (prawdziwe nazwisko Margherita Boninsegna, jego ukochaną lub siostrę w duchu) i napisał drugi list do Apostołów. Na początku 1304 roku Inkwizycja spaliła trzech Dulcynian, co doprowadziło Dulcino do ewakuacji społeczności na zachodnią stronę doliny Sesia, w pobliżu jego rodzinnej Novary. Pod koniec 1304 roku na szczycie góry Parete Calva, w ufortyfikowanym Piano dei Gazzari, przetrwało tylko 1400. Zeszli z góry, aby splądrować i zabić ludzi w dolinie, odpowiedzialnych w ich oczach za to, że nie bronili grupy przed wojskami biskupimi. Wieśniacy nazywali ich „Gazzari” (katarami) i dołączyli do żołnierzy w opozycji.

Dolcyno usprawiedliwiał czyny popełnione przez Dulcynian, potwierdzając ich doskonałość i świętość na podstawie Listu św. Pawła do Tytusa (1:15):

"Dla czystych wszystko jest czyste, ale dla zepsutych i niewierzących nic nie jest czyste; ich umysły i sumienia są zepsute."

Margaret i Dolcino zostali schwytani i straceni.

Główne koncepcje herezji Dulcyna to:

Upadek hierarchii kościelnej i powrót Kościoła do pierwotnych ideałów pokory i ubóstwa;

Upadek systemu feudalnego;

Wyzwolenie człowieka od wszelkich ograniczeń i od zakorzenionej władzy;

Stworzenie nowego, egalitarnego społeczeństwa opartego na wzajemnej pomocy i szacunku, wspólnej własności i poszanowaniu równości płci.

Fra Dolcino został zainspirowany teoriami millenaryzmu Gioacchino da Fiore.

Postrzegał on historię ludzkości jako cztery epoki:

Okres Starego Testamentu;

Okres Jezusa Chrystusa i Apostołów, charakteryzujący się czystością i ubóstwem;

Okres cesarza Konstantyna I i papieża Sylwestra I, charakteryzujący się upadkiem Kościoła z powodu ambicji i nadmiernego bogactwa;

Okres apostolski, którym przewodzili Segalelli i Dolcino, charakteryzował się ubóstwem, czystością i brakiem rządu.

W swoim pierwszym liście Dolcino przedstawił swoją interpretację siedmiu Aniołów i siedmiu Kościołów z Apokalipsy Jana:

Aniołem z Efezu był św. Benedykt, a jego kościołem był zakon monastyczny;

Aniołem z Pergamonu był papież Sylwester I, a jego kościołem był zakon duchowny;

Aniołem z Sardes był św. Franciszek, a jego kościołem byli Bracia Mniejsi;

Aniołem Laodycei był św. Dominik, a jego kościołem byli Bracia Kaznodzieje;

Aniołem ze Smyrny był Gerard z Parmy, a jego kościołem byli Bracia Apostolscy;

Aniołem z Tiatyry był Fra Dulcino, a jego kościołem był ruch Dulcyna;

Anioł z Filadelfii miał być nowym świętym papieżem, a trzy ostatnie kościoły stanowiłyby „nowy kościół tych nowych dni”.

Po śmierci Bonifacego VIII Dolcino przedstawił harmonogram 4 papieży:

Celestyn V

Bonifacy VIII: ruina spadnie na niego i na króla południa

Następca Bonifacego: ruina spadnie na niego i na wszystkich kardynałów.

"Nowy Święty Papież

Tak więc nadejście „nowego świętego papieża” zostało przełożone na drugiego papieża po śmierci Bonifacego VIII. Dolcino nigdy nie przedstawił się jako nowy papież w swoich listach, chociaż było to jednym z oskarżeń Inkwizycji. Okrzyk bojowy "Poenitentiam agite" (czyść pokutę) został im przypisany w powieści Umberto Eco Imię róży.

Plane

3½ ud af 5 panikslagne passagerer

"Plane" byder ikke på noget nyt, Manuskriptet er en kompilation af klichéer og forudsigelige scener hentet fra katastrofe-genrefilm. Cinematografien er konventionel uden nogen større appel. Soundtracket går helt ubemærket hen.

Vi er med andre ord i selskab med en klassisk popcornfilm. Og den er ganske veldrejet. Her er ingen overflødige sidespring, ingen fjollet damsel-in-distress-sidehistorie, kun en heltemodig luftkaptajn og hans fremmedlegionær-sidekick i kamp for livet mod brutale, sværtbevæbnede gidseltagere på en afsidesliggende ø i Sydøstasien, hvor et passagerfly er blevet tvunget til at nødlande uden mulighed for at kontakte omverdenen. Altså elementær spænding og suspense a la Die Hard og Con Air. Og Gerard Butler i topform. Anbefales til alle drengerøve, der elsker at slå hovedet fra og bare lade sig rive med i små to timer.
