The actor Michael Jayston, who has died aged 88, was a distinguished performer on stage and screen. The roles that made his name were as the doomed Tsar Nicholas II of Russia in Franklin Schaffner’s sumptuous account of the last days of the Romanovs in Nicholas and Alexandra (1971), and as Alec Guinness’s intelligence minder in John Le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy on television in 1979. He never made a song and dance about himself and perhaps as a consequence was not launched in Hollywood, as were many of his contemporaries.

Before these two parts, he had already played a key role in The Power Game on television and Henry Ireton, Cromwell’s son-in-law, in Ken Hughes’s fine Cromwell (1969), with Richard Harris in the title role and Guinness as King Charles I. And this followed five years with the Royal Shakespeare Company including a trip to Broadway in Harold Pinter’s The Homecoming, in which he replaced Michael Bryant as Teddy, the brother who returns to the US and leaves his wife in London to “take care of” his father and siblings.

Jayston, who was not flamboyantly good-looking but clearly and solidly attractive, with a steely, no-nonsense, demeanour and a steady, piercing gaze, could “do” the Pinter menace as well as anyone, and that cast – who also made the 1973 movie directed by Peter Hall – included Pinter’s then wife, Vivien Merchant, as well as Paul Rogers and Ian Holm.

Jayston had found a replacement family in the theatre. Born Michael James in Nottingham, he was the only child of Myfanwy (nee Llewelyn) and Vincent; his father died of pneumonia, following a serious accident on the rugby field, when Michael was one, and his mother died when he was a barely a teenager. He was then brought up by his grandmother and an uncle, and found himself involved in amateur theatre while doing national service in the army; he directed a production of The Happiest Days of Your Life.

He continued in amateur theatre while working for two years as a trainee accountant for the National Coal Board and in Nottingham fish market, before winning a scholarship, aged 23, to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he was five years older than everyone else on his course. He played in rep in Bangor, Northern Ireland, and at the Salisbury Playhouse before joining the Bristol Old Vic for two seasons in 1963.

At the RSC from 1965, he enjoyed good roles – Oswald in Ghosts, Bertram in All’s Well That Ends Well, Laertes to David Warner’s Hamlet – and was Demetrius in Hall’s film of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1968), with Warner as Lysander in a romantic foursome with Diana Rigg and Helen Mirren.

But his RSC associate status did not translate itself into the stardom of, say, Alan Howard, Warner, Judi Dench, Ian Richardson and others at the time. He was never fazed or underrated in this company, but his career proceeded in a somewhat nebulous fashion, and Nicholas and Alexandra, for all its success and ballyhoo, did not bring him offers from the US.

Instead, he played Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1972), a so-so British musical film version with music and lyrics by John Barry and Don Black, with Michael Crawford as the White Rabbit and Peter Sellers the March Hare. In 1979 he was a colonel in Zulu Dawn, a historically explanatory prequel to the earlier smash hit Zulu.

As an actor he seemed not to be a glory-hunter. Instead, in the 1980s, he turned in stylish and well-received leading performances in Noël Coward’s Private Lives, at the Duchess, opposite Maria Aitken (1980); as Captain von Trapp in the first major London revival of The Sound of Music at the Apollo Victoria in 1981, opposite Petula Clark; and, best of all, as Mirabell, often a thankless role, in William Gaskill’s superb 1984 revival, at Chichester and the Haymarket, of The Way of the World, by William Congreve, opposite Maggie Smith as Millamant.

Nor was he averse to taking over the leading roles in plays such as Peter Shaffer’s Equus (1973) or Brian Friel’s Dancing at Lughnasa (1992), roles first occupied in London by Alec McCowen. He rejoined the National Theatre – he had been Gratiano with Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright in The Merchant of Venice directed by Jonathan Miller in 1974 – to play a delightful Home Counties Ratty in the return of Alan Bennett’s blissful, Edwardian The Wind in the Willows in 1994.

On television, he was a favourite side-kick of David Jason in 13 episodes of David Nobbs’s A Bit of a Do (1989) – as the solicitor Neville Badger in a series of social functions and parties across West Yorkshire – and in four episodes of The Darling Buds of May (1992) as Ernest Bristow, the brewery owner. He appeared again with Jason in a 1996 episode of Only Fools and Horses.

He figured for the first time on fan sites when he appeared in the 1986 Doctor Who season The Trial of a Time Lord as Valeyard, the prosecuting counsel. In the new millennium he passed through both EastEnders and Coronation Street before bolstering the most lurid storyline of all in Emmerdale (2007-08): he was Donald de Souza, an unpleasant old cove who fell out with his family and invited his disaffected wife to push him off a cliff on the moors in his wheelchair, but died later of a heart attack.

By now living on the south coast, Jayston gravitated easily towards Chichester as a crusty old colonel – married to Wendy Craig – in Coward’s engaging early play Easy Virtue, in 1999, and, three years later, in 2002, as a hectored husband, called Hector, to Patricia Routledge’s dotty duchess in Timberlake Wertenbaker’s translation of Jean Anouilh’s Léocadia under the title Wild Orchids.

And then, in 2007, he exuded a tough spirituality as a confessor to David Suchet’s pragmatic pope-maker in The Last Confession, an old-fashioned but gripping Vatican thriller of financial and political finagling told in flashback. Roger Crane’s play transferred from Chichester to the Haymarket and toured abroad with a fine panoply of senior British actors, Jayston included.

After another collaboration with Jason, and Warner, in the television movie Albert’s Memorial (2009), a touching tale of old war-time buddies making sure one of them is buried on the German soil where first they met, and a theatre tour in Ronald Harwood’s musicians-in-retirement Quartet in 2010 with Susannah York, Gwen Taylor and Timothy West, he made occasional television appearances in Midsomer Murders, Doctors and Casualty. Last year he provided an introduction to a re-run of Tinker Tailor on BBC Four. He seemed always to be busy, available for all seasons.

As a keen cricketer (he also played darts and chess), Jayston was a member of the MCC and the Lord’s Taverners. After moving to Brighton, he became a member of Sussex county cricket club and played for Rottingdean, where he was also president.

His first two marriages – to the actor Lynn Farleigh in 1965 and the glass engraver Heather Sneddon in 1970 – ended in divorce. From his second marriage he had two sons, Tom and Ben, and a daughter, Li-an. In 1979 he married Ann Smithson, a nurse, and they had a son, Richard, and daughter, Katie.

Deadly Inferno {A Patrick Hockstetter Fic}

Part 9 - Welcome To Derry

Word Count: 1432

I slowly got my ass out of bed the next morning with such pain coursing throughout my entire body, yet the mere memory of it all sent shivers of pleasure down my spine. The loud rev of the Firebird had woken me up, indicating dad wasn't home, otherwise he'd been out that door guns a blazing from them making all that noise in his yard. He was such a big ball of sunshine. The phone was ringing off the hook, knowing I would have to be the one to answer. It stopped by the time I had threw on my clothes. But started up again once I hit the kitchen.

"Hello?"

"Oh my gosh.... Leslie?" My blood ran cold from the mere sound of the voice on the other end of the line. My mom.

"Mom....?"

"Honey.... Oh honey I'm so sorry I haven't called you in so long. I know...." But I had stopped listening. She's sorry? Sorry she hadn't picked up a phone to call her kids in years? Funny.

"Dads not here. Henry's out." But he came bounding into the kitchen the minute he heard his name, mouthing the word mom to him and he looked pissed. More pissed than I'd ever seen him. That's when I noticed Belch, Vic and Patrick standing directly behind him as usual. Their usual summer outings of torture and fun.

"That's fine. I wanted to hear your voice. And to tell you good news. You have a little sister. I want to bring her by for you and Henry to meet her. She's six." I about dropped the phone from the mere sound of the word sister. Sister?! Years of nothing. And now this?!

"Dad will have a cow."

"Well then it can be our secret. My husband and I just moved back to Derry. I'm sorry I haven't been there. I.... I got help. Mental help. I met Daniel that way. And then we had Belle. She wants to meet you guys." Henry had his ear pressed to the back of the phone, listening the entire time like I was and we both were seething with rage. Hatred. Sadness. Heartbrokenness. Everything. My watery eyes locked with the curious ones of Patrick's, seeing he could tell just how hurt I truly was. He seemed.... angry. Like he knew someone was hurting me. He just didn't know the extent of it yet.

"Go to hell...." Henry said before exiting the kitchen and storming out of the house, judging by the slam of the front door. Except, Patrick didn't leave. He stayed while Vic and Belch followed Henry out.

"Mom....."

"I know sweetie. You have every right to hate me. But please, come meet your sister at least. The Derry Ice Cream shop okay?" I sighed in complete disbelief, conflicting emotions clouding my judgment. I was caving in. And I hated it.

"Fine. But I'm bringing someone with me." I looked at Patrick and saw he was looking back like, hell no. But I knew he'd follow. He always does.

"That's fine hon. I can't wait to see you. I love you..." But I hung up with no parting words of my own, closing my eyes as I leaned up against the wall.

"We aren't going on some Ice cream date Les. Remember? We are on the low." I simply sighed, before opening my eyes and eyeing him with a sudden smirk.

"Fine. Be that way. Guess I'll call up Richie Tozier and have him escort me there." I went to walk out the back door, but was roughly pulled back and pushed up against it, his dark eyes looming into mine with such seriousness, I thought he would kill me right then and there.

"Try me. Make my day Bowers. Make my day....." I pushed him off of me, going for the phone and dialing Richie's number, when his voice came on the line and Patrick hung it up so fast I couldn't get a word in etch wise. He slowly backed me up against the wall, his playful smirk in full view. He was enjoying this a little too much.

"Impressive. You actually did it. Ballsy. But don't think I'll forget it princess. I swear I'm going to start burning your arms up inch by inch at this rate. And you won't stop me. Or would you prefer my fridge with all the dead animals?" My eyes widened. His fridge. I'd never seen the inside. But I knew it was true because I'd followed him and the guys there to the junk yard one day to see what the hell they could possibly get up to in their free time. Traumatized. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

"Or will you drown me like Avery?" He slowly backed up, shaking his head with such an evil smile appearing on his face, his green eyes assessing me so hard that he was practically tearing me apart with one glance.

"I won't give you the satisfaction baby." His hand suddenly laced around my waist and pulled me to his body, not even an inch to be seen between us. I knew it was a low blow. But he was so demented, he found humor in it. I only remember Avery very faintly now. It was so long ago. But I remember his laugh. My dad still talks to Patrick's dad. Which is why I'm not allowed around him. Patrick has been in so much trouble it's unreal.

"Going soft on me Pat?" He just kissed me without a second thought, biting my lip so harshly it drew blood. He always sucked it right off.

"Come on Hockstetter!! We don't have all day." We slowly pulled apart with my blood showing on his lips before he licked it off, leaving me in the kitchen to my own devices. And my mind whirling. My mom has moved back to Derry. And I have a little sister....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{Derry Ice Cream Shop}

I came to a slow halt outside of the ice cream shop that had been in Derry since the mid 50's with my camera around my neck, always enjoying their ice cream any day I could possibly get it. So many memories flooded back from this place.

"Thank you for coming with me Bev. I just.... I just couldn't do it alone." I had called her once Patrick had left, only joking about Richie. Well, half joking. He was an option. Only if I wanted to end up dead in Patrick's fridge.

"It's no problem. You've always been there for me. Let me be there for you." I softly smiled at her, noting her haircut. Short, and very pretty. It was a new look for her. A badass look.

"You look smokin by the way Bev. Your hair is amazing!" She's been wanting to cut it to piss her dad off. And finally did it. I was proud of her for telling him to basically fuck off with that one gesture.

"You flatter me too much." But she smiled through her words, sending us into little bits of laughter. Until I saw my mom through the window. Long blond hair, a summer dress and heels, sunglass atop her head. And a little girl that I knew was Belle, simply eyeing me through the window of the shop. It was like looking at myself in a mirror. She looked so much like me....

"You can do this Les. I'm here." I finally snapped out of it with my rapid heartbeat, smiling in appreciation at Bev. But feeling like utter shit on the inside. I wanted nothing more than to turn around and leave. But my mom noticed Belle staring at me, and immediately was on her feet.

"I'm here to! Now get your ass in that shop before I kick it in. I didn't come here to look stupid." I whirled around to see Patrick standing right behind me with the guys no where in sight, knowing Henry wouldn't show for sure. But the fact that Patrick showed was insane to me.

"Don't give me those puppy dog eyes princess. I just came to see some family pain. Get with it." His serious look was doing him no favors. I could see right through him. Even Bev was shocked he was here, thinking he'd never show for anything like this. He made it clear we were nothing but fuck buddies. And fuck buddies don't normally do this sort of thing. Maybe I'm crazy. But does Patrick actually like me? I think I am going insane.

Best of Enemies : Hi we're going to examine ego and the birth of modern media and political commentary and identity and ... yes that is Andy Warhol, everyone else at the party is trying to ignore him too.

The Collaboration: Art! Reawakening artistic impulses!  Connection with the world! Tunes!  Paul Bettany!

Cyrano de Bergerac: Words, desire, the power of words, rap battles, being a dick because you can, falling for people, depth of emotion, James McAvoy's thighs (my view for the first ten minutes) and Christian and Cyrano falling for each other as well and MY HEART.

Bonnie and Clyde: We're gonna heist and we're going for fame and tomorrow doesn't exist.

Much Ado (Globe): It's Italy post-war.  We're all horny as hell, everyone is beautiful, the coppers are trying to kill us laughing via shenanigans, will you please get out of my shrubbery, and ladsladslads is it gay to wrestle your mates this much?

Much Ado (NT) : Setting:  Grand Budapest Hotel. Challenge:  ice cream toppings and pec popping. Glam as fuck. *mwah*. (not as good as Globe, Beatrice and Benedick were more weirdos who band together than banter, but achingly glam)

The Tempest (Globe): The Island is the spanish riviera, everyone is Brits who think they're better than the natives, Prospero's in a yellow budgie smuggler and it turns out this is actually a comedy, Lionesses win so they have to re-jig the Three Lions lyrics mid-run in glorious fashion and Prospero is absolutely a fuckhead slavemaster.

Jack Absolute Flies Again: WW2 farce! malapropisms delivered so perfectly you nearly kill the audience!  ukeleles!

Six: The ushers will dance and you can't stop us.  And yes everyone's favourites are the Annes.  Sorry not Sorry.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo:  The boys are back, they're en pointe and they're glorious.

Henry V (Globe): Henry goes full psychopath to the point that Jude Law's been left in the dust in scary Hals and I didn't think I'd ever say *that*.  When the usual comedic bits leave a hole in your soul.

As You Like It (sohoplace): Sorry, hearing actors.  Rose Ayling-Ellis has put a cherry on top of why Celia should be played by a deaf actor. (see Globe and Nadia Nadarajah) Entire cast flirting with the pianist should be encouraged.  Also: Alfie Enoch needs to go full ham more often. New best stage direction as provided by the subtitles; *pianist improvises frantically*

'Fuck off, keep fucking off, and fuck off again, you’re boring and tiresome and self-involved and why the fuck should I care about you?’ Award:

Aside from all the classical opera (I keep trying.  I fail.  This is just not a genre I can handle.  Decent tunes on occasion, lots of plodding pageantry and singing at people rather than advancing the plot. Though Gods of the Game was pretty decent by virtue of the fact that it kept employing opera tunes footie fans use but for adverts and the chorus of fans. Toreador as the jingle tune for a burger advert the lead is doing?  NICE.) Wuthering Heights.  Quite brilliant staging, and I thought it would be the Emma Rice-ness turning me off in this but no, it was the Bronte.  I literally just want to yell 'fucking leave, don't come back' at everyone.  The Emma Rice twiddly dance and music numbers were actually pretty good.

È morta a Los Angeles all’età di cento anni l’attrice teatrale, cinematografica e televisiva britannica Glynis Johns, nota per il ruolo di Mrs. Banks nel celebre Mary Poppins di Robert Stevenson. Nata a Pretoria - in Sud Africa - nell’ottobre 1923 durante una tournée dei genitori (una pianista e un attore di origini gallesi), Glynis Margaret Payne Johns debutta giovanissima, nel ’35, danzando al Garrick Theatre di Londra ed inizia a recitare nel teatro di prosa all’Old Vic con il dramma St. Helena, seguiti poi da La calunnia e The Melody That Got Lost, Judgement Day, e, nel ’37, in Cinderella. Pur continuando nell’attività teatrale, esordisce al cinema in La cavalcata delle follie (1938) di Victor Saville. Negli anni Quaranta appare in piccole parti in alcuni film, fra cui due di Alexander Korda: Intermezzo matrimoniale (1945), con Deborah Kerr, e Un marito ideale (1947), tratto dall’omonima commedia di Oscar Wilde. Negli anni Cinquanta ottiene ruoli di maggior rilievo e da protagonista con Il viaggio indimenticabile (1951) di Henry Koster, con Marlene Dietrich e James Stewart, Asso pigliatutto (1952) di Ronald Neame, con Alec Guinness, Roy Boy, il bandito di Scozia (1953), con Richard Todd, Penitenziario braccio femminile (1954) di J. Lee Thompson, Il giullare del Re (1956) di Melvin Frank e Norman Panama, con Danny Kaye e Angela Lansbury, Il giro del mondo in ottanta giorni (1956) di Michael Anderson, tratto dal romanzo omonimo di Jules Verne ed interpretato da David Niven, Shirley MacLaine, Cantinflas e Robert Newton, in cui fa una piccola apparizione, Il fronte della violenza (1959) di M. Anderson, con James Cagney, Don Murray, Michael Redgrave e Richard Harris (al suo secondo film), I nomadi (1960) di Fred Zinnemann, con Robert Mitchum, Deborah Kerr e Peter Ustinov, e con cui ottiene una nomination all’Oscar come Miglior Attrice non Protagonista, La tela del ragno (1960) di Godfrey Rayson, Sessualità (1962) di George Cukor, con Jane Fonda, Efrem Zimbalist e Claire Bloom, per il quale avrà una nomination per Miglior Attrice in un film drammatico. Due anni dopo arriva il ruolo per il quale è più nota, quello della mamma dei piccoli Jane e Michael Banks (Karen Dotrice e Matthew Garber) in Mary Poppins (1964) di Robert Stevenson, con Julie Andrews (Oscar come Miglior Attrice Protagonista), Dick Van Dyke, David Tomlinson e Elsa Lanchester. Negli anni successivi dirada le sue apparizioni cinematografiche, fino a Un amore tutto suo (1995) di Jon Turtletaub, una commedia degli equivoci con Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman, Peter Gallagher e Jack Warden. Nel frattempo rimane attiva a teatro e in televisione. Nel ’73 torna a Broadway - dove aveva recitato nel ’56 in Il maggiore Barbara di George Bernard Shaw - con il musical A Little Night Music di Stephen Sondheim e Hugh Wheeler - versione teatrale del film Sorrisi di una notte d’estate (1955) di Ingmar Bergman - per il quale ottenne grande successo di pubblico e di critica ed il Tony Awards alla Miglior Attrice Protagonista in un musical. Fu così la prima interprete della canzone Send in the Clowns. Sarà nuovamente interprete del medesimo musical al James Doolittle Theatre di Los Angeles nel ’91. In televisione, fra gli anni Cinquanta e i Novanta, appare in alcuni episodi di serie e miniserie - The Errol Flynn Theatre (1956), The Frank Sinatra Show (1958), Avventure in paradiso (1961), La città in controluce (1961), Il dottor Kildare (1962), L’impareggiabile Glynis (1963, tredici episodi), La parola alla difesa (1964), Batman (1967), Gloria Vanderbilt (1982), Love Boat (1984), La signora in giallo (1985), Benvenuti a “Le Dune” (1988-89, quindici episodi).

Storia Di Musica #214 - AA.VV. Sweet Relief: A Benefit For Victoria Williams, 1993

Uno dei live più belli che possiedo è un cofanetto di 7 cd dal titolo Live At The Gorge 05/06. Raccoglie le esibizioni tenute dai Pearl Jam il primo settembre del 2005 e il 22 e 23 Luglio del 2006 al Gorge Amphitheatre, un meraviglioso anfiteatro naturale che sta a George, non lontano da Seattle. Eddie Vedder prima di iniziare a cantare un brano dice: Questa è una canzone scritta da una donna chiamata Victoria Williams. E attacca una ballata malinconica che parla di una signora dagli occhi selvaggi e della vita della periferia americana, che parla dei sogni e delle premonizioni di morte, che esplode verso le fine in un clamoroso duello tra la chitarra di Mike McCready e l’organo Hammond di Boom Gaspar. La mia curiosità mi ha spinto a cercare chi fosse Victoria Williams. E ho scoperto una storia molto particolare, anche drammatica, che intreccia la musica con altro. Victoria Williams è una delle più promettenti cantautrici americane della fine degli anni’80. Meno arrabbiata di Ani di Franco e meno lunatica di Fiona Apple, inizia autoproducendo un disco di base folk, Happy Come Home, accompagnato da un mini documentario di una 30na di minuti. Non vende granché, ma la Geffen le offre la possibilità di un secondo disco: nel 1990 esce Swing The Statue, un folk rock di carattere che la mette sulla rampa di lancio, ed è ormai considerata una delle voci più interessanti della scena alternativa rock americana. Recita persino nel film epocale, di Gus Van Sant, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (in italiano Cowgirl: il nuovo sesso) nel ruolo di Debbie, insieme a Uma Thurman e River Phoenix. Sembra essere pronta per il successo vero, ma all’inizio del 1993 le viene diagnosticata una sclerosi multipla. E la Williams scopre che la sua assicurazione sanitaria non copre le cure. Nasce così una gara di solidarietà tra colleghi, che fondano un’associazione, Sweet Relief, per aiutare lei e tutti i musicisti professionisti sprovvisti di copertura sanitaria, e nel 1993 incisero un disco, Sweet Relief: A Benefit For Victoria Williams, che raccoglie le sue canzoni interpretate da altri. Il risultato, musicalmente, è meraviglioso. Si riuniscono al capezzale della causa i nomi più interessanti dell’alternative rock dell’epoca. Il repertorio Williams, per lo più acustico, viene stravolto, elettrificato, con risultati notevolissimi. Si inizia con la meravigliosa Summer Of Drugs dei Soul Asylum, per passare ai Waterboys di Mike Scott con la divertente Why Look At The Moon, o i Giant Sand di Howe Gelb, che per un po’ di tempo ebbero la Williams in formazione, con Big Fish. E poi Lucinda Williams (Main Road), o Evan Dando, dei superbi Lemonheads (quelli della cover punk di Mrs Robinson) con Frying Pan. Ci sono anche Michael Penn, fratello di Sean, famoso compositore di jingle e colonne sonore che canta Weeds e i Jayhawks, il cui leader, Mark Olson, diventerà marito della Williams (e si ritirerà dalle scene per starle vicine quando le condizioni della cantante peggioreranno) che cantano Lights. Ci sono tre perle nell’album: il brano cantato da Lou Reed, Tarbelly And Featherfoot, rockeggiante e ritmico, Maria McKee, leader di quel meraviglioso gruppo cowpunk che furono i Lone Justice, che riprende in chiave struggente Opelousas (Sweet Relief) e quella canzone ripresa dai Pearl Jam, Crazy Mary, qui in versione low-fi, ma che diverrà un must dei loro live, dove solitamente termina in cavalcate sonore che spesso arrivano ai 10 minuti; la stessa versione di questo disco verrà poi aggiunta come bonus track nelle ristampe di Vs., il loro grande album dello stesso anno, 1993.  L’album raccoglie un po’ di fondi, e verrà ripetuto la stessa cosa nel 1996 con Sweet Relief II: Gravity Of the Situation, con cover di Vic Chessnut, cantante folk-country paraplegico, aiutato dalla Williams in persona, e che vede la partecipazione dei R.E.M., i Garbage, Madonna in un cameo con Joe Henry e gli Smashing Pumpkins. La Williams nel 1994 scrisse il suo capolavoro, Loose (dove riprende Crazy Mary) e intraprese un bellissimo Tour, che culmina con la pubblicazione di un live da Toronto nel 1995. Ma le condizioni iniziano a peggiorare e progressivamente, nonostante alcuni lavori fino agli inizi degli anni 2000, la Williams non pubblica più nulla, limitandosi a sporadiche esibizioni dal vivo fino a quando un attacco epilettico nel 2015 non la debilita ulteriormente. Uno dei versi più belli di Crazy Mary dice: Quello che ti impaurisce di più, lo puoi trovare a metà strada. La sua metà è stata davvero breve. Il disco si trova sulle piattaforme più comuni, mentre non so se fisicamente è ancora disponibile: ne vale la pena cercare.

The Bowers Gang with Latina S/o’s

Heyo :3 So to start off to any Latinas reading this I am very sorry if I am more Mexican leaning in this. I am Mexican, so if any of this isn’t inclusive towards Cubans, Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. I am very sorry. Also, a lot of this probably fits the stereotype of sassy Latina which is very much me :|

Warning: Cursing, mentions of sex, Henry’s racist ass, 

Henry - Henry? Really? You think Henry’s racist ass would date a Latina??? Jajajajajajajaja congrats bitch you done played yourself. - Ok ok fine. Let’s say he did date a Latina. - He always has to say some racist shit resulting in him getting cursed out and his ears getting pulled. - When his dad found out.... OOF jajajajajaja he teared Henry a new asshole with a butcher knife :| - Of course you weren’t about to let your vato get his chile cut off so you went off on Butch Bowers. Cursing at him and such. - The sex was good. Henry didn’t really expect you to be good, but you really did get him hooked. - Aside from that, taking him to meet your family was a fucking mess. You think your family is gonna be chill with you bringing home a country ass white boy? - Henry wasn’t chill with it either and the entire party your family shit talked about Henry in Spanish which would end up with you telling your family in Spanish to shut the fuck up.

Patrick - Patrick... where do I begin? - Well, come on man, it’s the 80s in Maine and you were the only Latina in town so people just stared at you with their caras de fuchi. - Patrick saw you on the first day. He thought meh, but that ass tho 0_0 - Immediately he started perving on you. Touching your waist and all that shit. - Most girls in school would just go “omg Patrick blah blah blah Don’t touch me.” - Jajajajaja that day motherfucker got a telenovela slap. - .... and that made Patrick like you even more. - Le gusta la mala vida - You guys started dating around half way into the school year. - The first thing Patrick wanted to do to you was bang your brains out, but you made wait. - Patrick’s parents adored you... well, his mom did. His father was indifferent. - Patrick finally got you into the sack after prom and it was a wild night. - Motherfucker learned your phrases of your language just to whisper naughty things in your ear during seggs. - Insists on you calling him papi chulo. - Henry and the other boys always teased Patrick about being with a Latina. - Patrick threatened to murder every person who made fun of you and it wasn’t long until he thought that you and him were the god and goddess of this universe and you two were the only real things.

Belch - Belch has a racist momma and when you two started dating, she was an absolute fucking Karen - She still is. - Belch doesn’t really take you home a lot because of his mom and he doesn’t take you out with him because of the gang. - That still doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have time for you. - Every night around 11-2 am he’ll sneak into your room through the window just to cuddle. - He keeps your relationship a secret. The only people who know are his mom and your parents and siblings. - At school you two are just strangers. - You became an official couple when he took you to prom and... well... Henry was pissed. - The love making is good between you two, although you do get a big uncomfortable in the backseat of his Trans Am, Amy. - Aftercare must be this boy’s middle name. - Treats you like a princess no matter how much your family talks shit and judges him.

Vic - Vic doesn’t care that you’re Hispanic, but he does care of what Henry thinks and that’s why you two have a secret relationship. - If Henry wasn’t a racist bastard, Vic would brag about having such a beautiful girlfriend - But Henry was a racist shit so oh well :| - Took you to prom because he was tired of hiding you from Henry. - The seggs after was 10/10 (0_o) - His parents like you but sometimes say shit that just makes you wanna smack them. - Your parents were ok with Vic but asked you a lot of questions about him. - Sometimes Vic tries to speak your language, and he fails miserably. - He LOVES it when you make him food. - He is surprisingly good with spice. - Overall Vic is a pretty great boyfriend and loves learning about your culture.

Deadly Inferno {A Patrick Hockstetter Fic}

Part 6 - Summer of Terror

Word Count: 1415

Warning: Mature

Little red splotches made from candle wax littered my exposed stomach, indicating how deep we'd gotten into our summer sex fling. I didn't know how long he'd fixate on me to be exact. But I honestly didn't want it to end. Most nights were mixed with Patrick, Patrick, and more Patrick, sneaking into my window when no one was up or could hear. I was lost in the madness of what was going on between us, knowing it was nothing more than lust, submission on my part and complete control for Patrick. I was his toy. He made that clear. And he didn't want it any other way. Since he heard Vic and i's conversation, things have been different. Vic doesn't stay around me alone anymore. And it felt weird. He was my best friend. But as long as Bev was around or the guys, he'd stay. I knew it was Patrick. But the fuck if I was going to defy him now.

"I'm leaving for work Leslie. Behave today. I don't want anymore reports." I rolled my eyes with a sigh from my dads words, the week also consisting of slaving away in this house doing his bidding. Cooking, cleaning, beatings. One that even Henry took a beating for so I wouldn't have to. Odd honestly for him. He blamed himself for not watching me and took the beating. He crumbled when it came to dad. I hated watching it. No matter how much of a shit head Henry is, I love him. He's my brother.

"Alright!" I brushed my teeth, noting the dark mark left on my neck from Patrick's little biting expedition. The burn marks had become second nature to me, also leaving marks from my cigs still to ease the discomfort of life in this hellhole. I knew what Patrick did to me wasn't normal. But I craved it. I loved it. It turned me on so badly that once it was started, I became this animal, feeding into Patrick's mayhem.

"Leslie! Leslie! Down here!" I slowly put my tooth brush back after finishing upon hearing my name in an echo, my eyes darting from one spot to the next in the little bathroom Henry and I have littered with clutter over the years.

"Hello....?" The voice had come from within the shower, startling me to no end. What the fuck.....? I crept my way over, throwing the curtain back, only to be greeted with a red balloon that read in white letters:

I

🤍

Derry

"You can float to Leslie! And when you're down here, you can feel all the pain you want...." My eyes widened in fear from the now expanding balloon, before it burst with my terrified screams littering the now blood soaked bathroom, parts of the walls and myself entirely coated. Children's laughter echoed within the drain of the shower, leaving me completely motionless. I didn't dream that! I know I didn't.

"Why the hell are you scre...." But Henry stopped dead in his tracks, his words halted from the sight of blood. He saw it to!

"I....I... I don't know what the fuck just happened. I was.... I was brushing my teeth. And I heard a voice....." His eyes surveyed the room entirely, seeing the now popped balloon on the ground and picking it up, reading the letters.

"It's nothing. Just..... don't answer. Don't follow. Ever." And then he bolted without another word, the slam of his door the only thing heard in the house. It was a warning. But from what exactly?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

{At The Kissing Bridge}

"Come on Les.... No one's watching." Patrick had me backed up against the very carved up bridge, our initials never going into the worn wood because how weird would that be? Patrick is libel to burn me alive for that.

"You know Hockstetter, I don't fuck just anywhere. I have standards." He simply cackled at me in such a way, my heart seemed to stop all together. Patrick was the kind of guy to do it anywhere he pleases. He didn't care if someone happened by us in the middle of it. He'd keep going with a smirk of satisfaction.

"Where do you think you're going fatty?" I jumped a little from the sudden sound of Henry's voice, seeing him, Belch and Vic now holding a very scared Ben Hanscom against the bridge further down from us. Ben is such a sweet kid. We've had almost every class together this past school year. And Henry has been targeting him like crazy.

"I got him. He won't move. Trust me." Belch wasn't usually so aggressive. But when Henry told him to be, he would. All I could see was pure red. Ben was a friend. And I wouldn't go for it.

"Don't Princess. Or I could just burn you right now so you can't move like I'm going to do to him....." He finally dragged me away, roughly may I add towards them, his zippo now in his hands. He was determined to join the fun. And I was going to be apart of it whether I liked it or not.

"Henry! Stop!" Patrick slung me up against the bridge so harshly I almost lost breath, seeing Henry taking his knife to Ben's stomach.

"I will carve my whole name into this cottage cheese! Now shut up Les!" I kicked at his hand without thinking, sending his knife flying into the air, just as Ben kicked him right in the stomach and flipped over the bridge, practically flying down the hill.

"What the fuck Les?!" Henry practically shoved me to the ground in pure rage, sending Vic and Belch down to look for Ben. And his knife. Dad would be so furious if he lost it.

"Sucks to be you Hen." He swiftly kicked me as if he had no care in the world, igniting a scream from my mouth. But I wasn't crying any tears of pain. I was simply angry. Angry at how far gone Henry truly was at this point.

"Shut your mouth Les before he kills you." Patrick's warning came as a surprise, no back talking, no words of his own to add like he's going to kill me for him. He just lifted me off the ground the minute Henry went down the hill to look himself.

"I'm not going to spend summer like this. Watching him torture innocent kids Pat." I ran past Patrick to a path I know all too well to reach the barrens, knowing that's where Ben would likely end up.

"Don't go looking for trouble princess. You'll regret it....." I slowed my pace once Patrick's hand came down on my arm, dragging him along with me to find Ben. I knew he was enjoying this as usual. He just wanted to hurt something.

"Or what? You gonna trap me in your pencil box full of dead flies?" The words escaped my lips before I could even think. But I didn't have long before he shoved me up against the nearest tree, his hands firmly on my waist to keep me from moving, his long legs trapping mine as best as he could. His eyes searched mine with a little creepy smirk on his lips, one I've only seen when he's really thinking dark thoughts. The worst kind.

"Tempting. More like my fridge if you keep talking to me like that." His hands slowly left my waist and started to wander around my body, sending shivers straight down my spine in anticipation of what was to come. I was actually frightened for the first time since knowing Patrick.

"You know princess, I used to stalk your brother. But we all got older. My interest changed when you grew....." His hands tightened on my breasts, toying with my nipples that started to harden through my bra. I couldn't take my eyes off his, barley taking in what he had said. He suddenly placed his hand around my neck, tightening his grip to his usual sexual way, his smile never wavering.

"Patrick...." He roughly kissed me, the longest kiss he'd ever given me since we started all this. It felt..... different. But I didn't read into it much. That would be deadly. All I knew, was this town had its secrets. Adults were oblivious to them. Or just pretended to be anyway. Something was happening. And it's only going to get worse. But all i could focus on, was Patrick.

WARNING : I'm just an addict ... addicted to music. There are people who are born to make music, o8 thers are born to hearing. Whenever was part of this second group. Maybe it's. a habit, I gotta use, even if it 's rock, jazz or the quiet storm. Great pictures of the things I love - music, painting, books, photography, architecture, design, women, and more. I love music more than lasagna. Better to burn out than fade away. The older you get, the better life gets. But time also seems to be accelerating, the clock running too fast. So, looking at those early days, everything is very slow, stretched, and great significance.

E gosto de viajar, andar de bicicleta, de comboios, de animais.... não gosto de pessoas superficiais... sem cultura.Gosto de dança, de arte o que quer que isso seja!. Não gosto da monotonia. Gosto de criticar no sentido positivo. Não gosto de sonhar em ficar rico. Gosto do “Vive cada dia como se fosse o último “. Não gosto de despedidas. Gosto de pormenores.Gosto de perfumes. Não gosto de mentir nem que me mintam, não suporto hipócritas.Gosto do mar. Não gosto de quem não acredita em nada e não se importa com nada e tem a profundidade de uma colher... Gosto de viajar, gosto de ajudar e de saber que pude ser útil a alguém em qualquer coisa. Não gosto da efemeridade da vida e da constante lembrança da proximidade da morte. Não gosto de não perceber. Não gosto de atrasos e de quem não é capaz de cumprir as suas promessas, não gosto de quem volta atrás com a sua palavra e ainda menos que voltem atrás comigo. Não gosto da cusquice.Gosto de amigos e da camaradagem, não gosto das” amizades “que se perdem por coisas que no final das contas não significam nada... Gosto de palavras e de conversas sem fim... Gosto de pessoas originais, com humor,com ideias próprias... e com classe. Não gosto de carinho quando estou nervoso.Gosto do campo. Não gosto de seguir a onda.Gosto de coisas pouco claras, mas bem esclarecidas. Gosto de dominar. Não gosto de brincar com os sentimentos dos outros.Gosto de toques e de trocas de olhar, de demonstrações de carinho e de cenas sensuais. Não gosto de ficar bêbado até dizer a verdade. Gosto da grandeza das coisas simples, e gosto de coisas complicadas mas não gosto de complicações... O comum não me atrai, gosto normalmente de coisas que passam despercebidas... Gosto de gostar e de não gostar de tudo isto e muito mais...
