Ribeyrolles is an alternative universe with Hazbin Hotel characters where Arackniss and Pentious meet each other in 1914 in Louisiana.

"We first met in the summer of 1914. We went swimming in a nearby lake, I vividly remember seeing our reflections on that cold water. Since that day, we never left each other’s side. I was only 17, him being 19. I don’t remember if war had plagued Europe yet.

His skin changed color in the sunlight and looked like intense magma. He said the same about my eyes. I was mesmerized by his.

He asked me if I knew that this world didn't want people like us. I told him that I was Italian anyway, it made him laugh. In Louisiana, they don't like snakes, nor Italians, much less both at the same time. He taught me a little Creole, I taught him a little Italian. I didn't understand anything but I listened to him. I think he spoke Creole better than I spoke Italian.

I preferred risking happiness with him than faking it for the rest of my days. It was the most mature decision I made. He told me he didn't want to live in the shadows. Neither did I. Doing so would have dimmed the light that was gleaming bright in the both of us. Yet, there was no place for us in this society, so we decided to seize it anyway."

"Pretty boys, witty boys, You may sneer At our disintegration. [...] We all wear a green carnation."

A gift

And a song

[salammb0]

The Godfather was released in 1972 and the love theme from the movie has been covered by many artists worldwide.

It's been covered in French by Dalida, a famous french and italian singer. This version is very specific because the lyrics hide a subtext on a forbidden love, and this song seems to be addressed to the homosexual community. This is not the first time that Dalida sings for the gay community, evoking repressed homosexuality or loneliness.

Translated lyrics:

"Speak lower

Because we could be heard

The world is not ready for your tender words

The world is not ready for us

They would simply say that we are crazy

Speak lower but keep talking

About crazy love, about strong love

Speak lower

Because we could be caught

You know very well

That they would never want to understand

That in our hearts I found

What the world refused to give us

Speak lower but keep talking

About crazy love, about strong love

Speak lower

Because we could be heard

You know very well that we can expect nothing

From those who made songs

Without an "I love you" where love rhymes with reason"

I love Dalida with her strong italian accent, and she is very popular with the french LGBT community. It's quite surprising to see a music from a movie about mafia suddenly becoming a music about a homosexual relationship. It makes me think about Angel Dust.

I'm also trying to develop an AU around Arackniss x Pentious telling a similar story, because I was fascinated by the character of Angel Dust. I want my queers to be that dangerous.

Be gay, do crimes!
