Tom Gurney headcanons

Salut la compagnie! Well, no need to explain, it's all in the title! Happy reading!

He's from New York but moved to Bullworth when he was 5 years old after his parents divorced

He lives with his mother but returns to his father's house in New York during the holidays

Very good at ice hockey! He's been doing it since he was a kid

A big New York Rangers fan! he has 3 jerseys (Messier, Leetch and Gretzky)

He's the smartest of the bunch. He thinks before he acts, unlike others who go straight into the pile

We all know he's a big fan of horror movies! In fact, his favourite is The Hill Has Eyes

When he plays Pokemon, his team is all Ghost or Darkness type Pokemon

It doesn't look like it but it's pretty big. It measures 1.81 cm (5ft 11 approximately)

He and Wade know each other's arrival in Bullworth. They are the best of friends and nothing can separate them

They complement each other where Wade will act before thinking, Tom will do the opposite, and Wade will open Tom's eyes when the latter is naïve about something or someone

He likes to wear clothes that were fashionable in the 90's like oversized clothes for example

He always wears a t-shirt under a sweater or shirt because he is quite modest

He listens to a lot of Jazz and Hip-Hop

On nights when he is swollen, he writes poems or reads a book

He's a very shy guy with girls: the one and only girlfriend he had, he wrote her a poem to confess his love for her because he didn't dare tell her to her face

Scénario et pré-liens

Sur Sinking Past, un forum fantastique et city basé à Édimbourg, je recherche deux liens importants pour mes personnages!!!!

L'amant derrière le voile

Tw : mort, violence

Tu es mort depuis longtemps déjà. À tel point que parfois tes souvenirs s'embrouillent. Comment es-tu mort? Qui a pris ta vie? Tu erres à la recherche de réponses dans une ville où tu n'existes plus. Et dans ta pénombre, dans ton purgatoire éternel, une petite flamme : Dafydd.

Ex, amie... et conscience

Toi et Ravi, vous vous êtes laissé depuis un an déjà, pour une histoire de jalousie. Au départ, Ravi était un havre de douceur, au travers de tes blessures passées. Mais le temps a fait son oeuvre et la léthargie et les rêves inassouvis de ton compagnon a lentement détruit votre relation. Tu es partie avec un collègue et te voilà enceinte. Un malaise est resté. Mais Ravi te manque et tu as besoin de sa tendresse pour guérir tes propres blessures.

@rosa-geminae continue from here

A smile passed Francis’ features at the compliment.  Much like the line by Lewis Carroll, mother, everywhere, haunted Francis phantomwise for the past 8 years.

“There are only so many places I can sneak away during a ball, so perhaps I shall go to your manor next time I need to escape from dancing.”  Although, he had no doubt the rumor mill would get picked up once people have noticed his habit, and thus his peace away from social obligation will once again be compromised.

He was not surprised with the Earl, although Francis couldn’t help but think how the sorrow must’ve been greater for the boy. Francis wasn’t sure what he’d do if he were in Phantomhive’s position.

“You said that you’re in no rush. So you mean that you have no other plans aside from my visitation, then?”

Ghosts were left in the shadows, where sympathy of his compliment stayed understandable. At some point, even though he cannot be assured where, his features would betray about how much he could be horrified of ghosts --- tourmented inside an repetition of an shadowing presence behind his back, of associated regrets, of conflicted feelings, where one terrible boy remembrances would still tourment him. He did what he could for learn what kind of person was the real Alois Trancy, who had no respect for him, who hold a grudge to had almost his imposter --- only be saved to be murdered on sight for had befriend the main concerned and was trying to save him … when he had been happy to had let down his stubborness … when he had gratefully blessed an inner decision to be honest about saving him --- … and realizing in comparison how harmless Alois imposter was. More emotionally understanding, less bossing people, less … incredibly harsh and mocking …. but his ghost will follow him. The Earl Trancy wanted to becoming that kind of boy. Internally, he pushed behind the thoughts. He would remaining tourmented about that, and someday, he would better digesting the kind of reality he was living. It had been his fault. He hadn't been able to protect the Earl Trancy enough, hadn't been able to be a king in front of the real Alois, hadn't been able to embracing entire responsabilities of current circumstances … It wasn't something Sebastian can fix.

❝ I can manage for a sort of agreement between us if you need to sneak away. Quiet the rumours, avoid problems on your family name. ❞ He proposed naturally. It was something he could handle by himself. For many months, he had to justify his absence inside noblesse society and his unavailability for the Queen, had also to express the Queen would be removed of her Spider for a some time … and always bring reassurance over circumstances. Justifying inside various letters why he cannot show up in daylight. Some other ally helped him to just focus over current mission of the time, where he could eventually breath partially, having still to handle his compagny, and that, no matter how circumstances were. He wasn't sure anymore how to take the underground's reaction to his situation. He never dared asking Lau about how relationship had been with an certain organization who must have hanging around … meanwhile some man had bring terror inside noblesse spheres. The underground didn't have reacted. The big one didn't, until very late … and it was going to show up physically one more time. ❝ I'm accustomed to host other nobles. I won't be surprised if it's suddently became an second home to you. For some, it has become it. ❞ There was an pleasant expression towards his confirmation request. Outside eventually show up at Trancy's doorstep and regretting his decision one second later, no, nothing. ❝ Not to my knowledge. I've managed to give myself quieter weeks for a while. I will have to visit some nobles in a few weeks, though that can wait. ❞

📺 GRENOBLE ANTIFA 📺

Des centaines d'antifas sont actuellement dans les rues de Grenoble, pour affronter les racistes ultranationalistes. Ils tiennent tête aux flics qui les protègent. On ne négocie jamais avec l'extrême droite, camarades. Racailles fascistes hors de nos rues !

🇬🇧 French antifascists out on the streets of Grenoble right now, confronting ultranationalist racists. Standing up to the cops who protect them. We never negotiate with the far right, comrades. Fascist scum off our streets.

🇮🇹 Antifascisti francesi in strada a Grenoble ora, a confrontarsi con razzisti ultranazionalisti. In piedi di fronte ai poliziotti che li proteggono. Non negoziamo mai con l'estrema destra, compagni. Feccia fascista fuori dalle nostre strade.

🇪🇦 Los antifascistas franceses están ahora mismo en las calles de Grenoble enfrentándose a los racistas ultranacionalistas. Enfrentándose a los policías que los protegen. Nunca negociamos con la extrema derecha, camaradas. Fuera la escoria fascista de nuestras calles.

🇩🇪 Französische Antifaschisten sind gerade auf den Straßen von Grenoble unterwegs und stellen sich ultranationalistischen Rassisten entgegen. Sie leisten den Polizisten Widerstand, die sie beschützen. Wir verhandeln nie mit der extremen Rechten, Genossen. Faschistischer Abschaum, raus aus unseren Straßen.

🇬🇷 Γάλλοι αντιφασίστες βγαίνουν στους δρόμους της Γκρενόμπλ αυτή τη στιγμή, αντιμετωπίζοντας υπερεθνικιστές ρατσιστές. Στέκονται απέναντι στους μπάτσους που τους προστατεύουν. Δεν διαπραγματευόμαστε ποτέ με την ακροδεξιά σύντροφοι. Φασιστικά αποβράσματα από τους δρόμους μας.

🇵🇸

الآن، ينزل المناهضون للفاشية الفرنسيون إلى شوارع غرونوبل، ويواجهون العنصريين القوميين المتطرفين. ويقفون في وجه رجال الشرطة الذين يحمونهم. نحن لا نتفاوض أبدًا مع اليمين المتطرف، أيها الرفاق. ابتعدوا عن شوارعنا أيها الأوغاد الفاشيون.

Sweet Baby Inc: Joueurs et joueuses de jeux vidéos avertis!

Savez-vous vraiment à quoi vous jouez ou même ce que vous encouragez sans le savoir? L'industrie du jeu vidéo vous imposera cet agenda du nom de Sweet Baby.

Les traces du wokisme dans les jeux vidéos remontent entre 2014 et 2015 avec Anita Sarkisian qui se plaignait de la représentation des femmes dans ces jeux. Résultat, le wokisme à fait son chemin mais maintenant tout dérape.

Justin Trudeau s'en mêle

Sweet Baby Inc est graissé par Justin Trudeau, premier ministre qui aime trop les wokes et les vrais canadiens passent en second! Le pire est qu'on y contribue à 50 millions $CA via le Programme de préparation à l'investissement (PPI).

Mais la compagnie Weird Ghosts ne se gêne pas d'affirmer qu'elle est une société graissé par le gouvernement du Canada à l'aide de multiples programmes et les investissements pour des studios wokes de jeux vidéos comme Sweet Baby sont originaire et avec des admissibilités qui veulent entre autre que les moitié de vos employés soient de groupes sous-représentés (LGBTQ+ concerné).

À coup de recherches, cette enquête de Le Repaire du Gamer démasque Eileen Mary Holowka et Jennie Robinson Faber qui y sont à la tête mais aussi chez les donateurs J.P. Morgan qui est une branche de Black Rock qui est tentaculaire et dicte aux compagnies de divers domaines comment être de bonnes compagnies aux risques d'être définancé par cette dernière.

L'argent mène le monde des jeux vidéos à coup de 25 000 $CA versé en 6 mois à la fois et les studio ne recevraient que 4 166,67 $CA par mois. Assez pour se développer et former?

Cette histoire partant du studio Sweet Baby en dit long sur le wokisme actuel dans le jeux vidéo et surtout de quoi l'on consomme entant que diversement.

Cerise sur le gâteau, le média d'état Radio-Canada va défendre Sweet Baby dans un article d'avril 2024 mentionnant une pseudo campagne de cyberintimidation. Après tout c'est pour leur patron aussi premier ministre du Canada.

Blanchiment d'argent?

On est devant un stratagème vertigineux qui pourrait s'apparenter à du blanchiment d'argent et spectaculairement tentaculaire.

Bref il y aura du chemin à faire pour que la vérité éclate au grand jour. La majorité zombie pour l'instant semble être ce qui permet aux personnes concernés dans cette enquête choc de bien dormir.

Storia della band

Band Lombarda, cresciuta sull’asse Milano/Pavia, genere Alternative Metal / Hard Rock (ma qualcuno del settore musicale pensa che possano aver creato un nuovo sottogenere, definendoli Hard Soul, o Heavy Blues).  Il progetto CHRYSARMONIA nasce a metà 2017 da un’idea dei quattro musicisti: Vania Guarini (compositrice, autrice e voce), Fabio Chiappella (batteria), Davide Paggiarin (chitarre) e Simone Pampuri (basso). Già cover band “5 A CASO” da quasi un decennio, i quattro decidono di dare spazio a qualche inedito composto dalla vocalist Vania, proponendone alcuni durante i loro concerti e ricevendone critiche positive. Sollecitati da questo interesse, decidono quindi di dare più spazio alla loro creatività, concentrandosi nella realizzazione dei loro brani. Vania realizza in prima battuta i brani (musica e testi). La cantante compone melodie, armonie e strutture basandosi sulla sua voce tipicamente soul, accompagnandosi al pianoforte o con la chitarra acustica. È ispirata particolarmente dalle caratteristiche dei suoi compagni che conosce intimamente. Infine, la creatività individuale dei singoli durante gli arrangiamenti, crea un mix particolare difficile da ingabbiare in un preciso genere. Dopo l'EP di debutto "Metamorphosis" uscito nel 2019, seguito da 2 singoli "Fast" (2019) e "Desert" (2022), disponibili su tutti i digital stores e con relativi video, la band decide di fare il grande passo e di produrre il loro primo Full Length "Fly Me To The Sun". L'Album è composto da 12 brani orecchiabili e scorrevoli che si muovono tra i diversi stili musicali. Dal Blues al Jazz, dal Rock al Metal, e come sempre con quel Soul tipico della voce dei Chrysarmonia.  “Fly Me To The Sun” è disponibile dal 28.10.2022 nei principali digital stores e in formato fisico CD. Quest’ultimo include la Bonus Track “Desert” e un booklet di 16 pagine con le foto artistiche del bravissimo Art Photographer Fabio Oriani e tutti i testi dei brani.

The Many Lives Of Marshal Commander Cody After The War (No O66 AU)

Freedom Fighter

After the treaty between the Separatists and the Republic is signed (vastly in favor of the Republic), many worlds are damaged, the economy in shambles and their defences a pile of rubbles.

Which is where profiters come in! Pirates praying on ships sent with relief goods, slavers praying on refugees, regular galactic corporations arranging for an "accident" for their marchandises so those desperate worlds will have to buy twice...

Too bad for them, Cody didn't made Marshal Commander because of his pretty face.

Part of the Amavika trail, he establishes an entire fleet with most of Ghost Compagny survivors and other clones (Wolffe and Fox included) that patrol the poorest parts of the galaxy. They are Protection and Transport for Hire (and very little pay, but much fight & fun & justice).

È stato presentato venerdì 16 febbraio 2024 presso la Libreria Nuova Europa I Granai - via Mario Rigamonti 100, in zona viale Tintoretto - il libro di Valentina Notarberardino Operazione bestseller. Dietro le quinte del successo editoriale (Ponte alle Grazie). L’autrice ha dialogato con Sabina Minardi (giornalista e responsabile delle pagine culturali de «L’Espresso») e Barbara Pieralice.

Perché di alcuni si capisce presto che finiranno tra i «libri dell’anno» mentre altri passano in sordina? Come arrivano gli amati tomi in libreria? Come si partecipa ai premi letterari? Chi vota? E soprattutto, perché vince chi vince? E chi perde, come la prende? Si può vivere di sola scrittura? Perché ogni anno in Italia vengono pubblicati così tanti titoli? Come funzionano i festival letterari e le fiere del libro? Che cosa riesce a fare un bravo libraio per il successo di un libro? Che impatto hanno i social? I podcast? Le trasmissioni radio e tv?

Già cover band “5 A CASO” da quasi un decennio, i quattro decidono di dare spazio a qualche inedito composto dalla vocalist Vania, proponendone alcuni durante i loro concerti e ricevendone critiche positive. Sollecitati da questo interesse, decidono quindi di dare più spazio alla loro creatività, concentrandosi nella realizzazione dei loro brani. 

Vania realizza in prima battuta i brani (musica e testi). La cantante compone melodie, armonie e strutture basandosi sulla sua voce tipicamente soul, accompagnandosi al pianoforte o con la chitarra acustica. È ispirata particolarmente dalle caratteristiche dei suoi compagni che conosce intimamente.

Infine, la creatività individuale dei singoli durante gli arrangiamenti, crea un mix particolare difficile da ingabbiare in un preciso genere. Dopo l’EP di debutto “Metamorphosis” uscito nel 2019, seguito da 2 singoli “Fast” (2019) e “Desert” (2022), disponibili su tutti i digital stores e con relativi video, la band decide di fare il grande passo e di produrre il loro primo Full Length “Fly Me To The Sun”. 

L’album è composto da 12 brani orecchiabili e scorrevoli che si muovono tra i diversi stili musicali. Dal Blues al Jazz, dal Rock al Metal e come sempre con quel Soul tipico della voce dei Chrysarmonia. 

“Fly Me To The Sun” è disponibile dal 28 ottobre 2022 nei principali digital stores e in formato fisico CD. Quest’ultimo include la Bonus Track “Desert” e un booklet di 16 pagine con le foto artistiche del bravissimo Art Photographer Fabio Oriani e tutti i testi dei brani. Dal primo luglio del 2022 i Chrysarmonia firmano con l’etichetta Ghost Record Label.

A Memoir on Music

The Beginnings

Rehab by Amy Winehouse. It’s surely one of the first songs I remember listening to. It would play every time we would get in the car. My mom had this compact disk my dad burned for her. You know, back when we used those. It was always the same songs playing repeatedly, and this one always found its way back to my ears. I found out much later who sung this absolute bop, and how much of a queen she had been in her short-lived career in Soul R&B.

But one singer I can’t stand anymore is Sting. He had come from The Police: incredible band, I must recognize. The influence from reggae just lights up the mood. But his solo career… it all sounds the same. I must say, I’m a bit more biased because I have heard those songs one too many times, mainly Fragile. And what an unlucky hardship it was that these songs were on my mom’s CD…

One artist I have grown to love is Phil Collins. My dad had this movie of one of his shows. There were also most of his popular music video. My favourite must have been Take Me Home. I would recognize landmarks being shown through the video. And I would also say my dad had the same haircut as Phil Collins.

My dad grew up with Genesis, it was his musical influence. I can’t blame him, their songs are rarely misses, if you’re just talking about the Phil Collins era. As for the Peter Gabriel era, let’s say it’s different, more directed towards a specific public. Gabriel’s and Collins’ voices both give me chills. They had power and emotion in their voice.  

And there’s La Compagnie créole, a French Creole group, the apogee of French culture from around the world. The rhythmic melodies make us sing and dance against our will. It is a joy booster, yet I would sleep on such songs. This was my sedative whenever we’d leave my grandparents’ house. As the poor emotional child I was and still am, I couldn’t stand leaving the rest of my family living two hours away. I would cry, blubber my sorrows away, much to my mother’s dismay.  And then, she found the trick: blasting Ça fait rire les oiseaux, C’est bon pour le moral and La machine à danser during the whole two hours she was driving so I could shut up. To my dearest mother, my sincerest apology to your sanity.

The Teenage Years

As a teenager, I developed multiple problems related to my mental health. Music partially saved me. Not even exaggerating, I have found so much pleasure in listening to albums and songs by my favourite artists. They made me feel alive, even if I wanted to disappear. If it wasn’t for school, I probably would’ve grown mushrooms in my ears from how much I wore my headphones. Now, I use it to escape, but also concentrate. I use it to be calm, mostly in overwhelming moments, but I use it also to waste accumulated energy. It’s omnipresent. I must listen to six to eight hours of music a day, whatever genre it may be.

I discovered artists like Japanese Breakfast, Lemon Demon, Rex Orange County, Ghost, MGMT, Frank Ocean, Car Seat Headrest, Queen, Prince, Teako Onuki, Childish Gambino, Mitski, Magdalena Bay, David Bowie, Elton John, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Joji, The Cure, Kendrick Lamar, Siouxsie & the Banshees… and there’s Tyler, The Creator.

Now that I’ve mentioned a bunch of names that probably mean nothing, let’s go over some that resonated the most.

Rex Orange County and Joji are some of those artists I could not get out of my ears. They had such a chokehold on my silly sabotaging brain. With their sentimental voices, their relaxed beats and their unique lyrics, I felt in a way connected to their songs. And the biggest step up happened with Frank Ocean. He may have put out only 2 albums, but they are masterpieces. Oh, and let’s not forget Childish Gambino with “Awaken, My Love!”. This album made me live so many emotions at the same time when I heard it.

- Slow Dancing in the Dark, Joji

- New House, Rex Orange County

- Self Control, Frank Ocean

- Bad Religion, Frank Ocean

- Me and Your Mama, Childish Gambino

- Redbone, Childish Gambino

MGMT and Magdalena Bay are two rare cases of “Electronic music that doesn’t make me have a panic attack”. They have their own style, and each of their albums are unique for the way it sounds. I love them very much for their authenticity, and the creativity behind those songs. And to listen to their albums entirely is a treat!

Me and Micheal, MGMT 

Time to Pretend, MGMT

You Lose!, Magdalena Bay

Mercurial World, Magdalena Bay

And these are some of my top tier artists. 

Mitski is an artist I discovered more on TikTok, and I just love her discography. Her themes are  unique and, whilst the beats are similar, they are comforting.  

Me and My Husband

First Love/Late Spring

I Want You

Japanese Breakfast is an artist I discovered because of the mysterious name. And hidden behind that name there is a indie rock band. From the sentimental slows to the upbeat tracks, there is everything for everyone. I love that band, and I love the singer’s voice.

Boyish

Soft Sounds from Another Planet

Savage Good Boy

And the pinnacle of music to me is Tyler, The Creator. Listen to me when I say that this man alone made me live so many emotions all at the same time. He can change styles from one song to the other in ways I have rarely seen. I think he’s a musical genius.
