[Gatekeep and ascension]

Plot: Reader is something called a gatekeeper, and basically heaven down exist and they decide if someone goes to heaven, hell, purgatory, or back to earth. This decision becomes hard when they come to face the world enders, rather the people who caused them to be forced to start new and reset the world in entirely.

Warnings/stuff to keep in mind: season 4 spoilers, GN reader, no beta we die like Umbrella’s, no exact god like figure, use of religious themes, reader insert content, slight drug joke, might be miss characterization (sorry)

Enjoy!!

You looked down at the earth you recreated, one with little to no problems. It was all fresh and new, everyone and everything made distinctly. The world was fixed, all by your hand. It was in vein to bring punishment to those to ended it all those times, after all, it was okay now. It was a breath of fresh air. Even as sinful the methods of the commission were, they were heaven sent. How could you not praise them? After all they kept the timeline in order, however, these slip ups were unacceptable.

You rested on your throne, waiting for the next ascenders, and seeing them in your view, you had to double take. The world enders? Seriously? Why would there even need to be decision made for this?

It’s obvious. However, you need to hear them out, be patient, since it’s your job of course. You approach them with your claymore dragging behind you.

“Ahh, it’s the ones who ended the world and managed to inadvertently challenge the heavenly principles.. how interesting. I did not expect to even encounter you, though, I will give you chance to speak.” You trot to them, speaking gently, but even with your gentle voice, it sounded like you posed a threat, which wasn’t wrong.

“We challenged the heavenly principles? Sounds like quite an achievement to me, hope the tips the scale a bit.” Klaus said with quite a sly tone.

“I mean..- wait. I’m sorry? The heavenly principles?” Five coughed out, wanting an explanation.

You sighed. “You practically crumbled everything. We tried to stop you all the others times, giving you visions, other warnings through others, but it’s all gone ignored. You destroyed the world. The one I was forced to remake and forge a single time line out of the millions you’ve created. You shattered not only the ground you’re shattered on but the principles of heaven itself, those whom shall lay in eternal slumber now, for I am one of the only remnants. Atone or I shalt make you pay your penance.” You narrowed your eyes and raised your claymore.

They all stared at you for a second before Luther started to get down on his knees like he was praying, and you side eyed him.

“I meant verbally. I am not filled with hatred, so you won’t be forced to do a humiliation ritual such as that. Please get up.” You mutter, slight disgust and second hand embarrassment in your voice. He slowly got up before looking at his siblings who just stared at him.

“Well, claymore, it’s all nice and dandy that you want to make us atone, but where are we?” Diego asked with a tone meant to threaten you, stepping to you.

“You’re quite bold. I admire it, Diego. I’ll answer your question, you’re in a heaven like space, though in between. It’s closer to purgatory and earth than anything. It’s a gate like a toll.” You explain before spinning your claymore and straight up making it disappear.

“So, heaven truly exists, shit. I’m surely going to hell.” Lila shakes her head while speaking like she had a headache taking this all in.

“See you there, Amigo.” Klaus plays right into it as always.

“I understand this is a lot to take in, but I do need your reasons to why you deserve to go to.. well, where you’ll be sent.” You interrupted, trying to be subtle about how you feel.

“Well I-“ Allison tries to speak.

“There’s no need for anything verbal, I’ll just take a peak into your memories if that’s okay?” You smile softly, despite having a feeling they were all going to hell, but you bottled it up because it was not completely your judgement. The rules placed by the heavenly principles decide their fate.

You put your hand in front of them, the sigil engraved in your hand showing. You closed your eyes and it was like you’ve got a replay of everything they’d ever done. It was quite overwhelming normally, but doing it all together was another level.

Out of all people, their experiences seemed the most human despite half of the time being otherwise. Their yearn for normal lives. They way the lived without powers, though not together, it could’ve worked, if only situations were different. It made you dizzy and made the visions unstable so you had to stop.

You rubbed your eyes and everyone before you stood anxious.

“I have a feeling that is not a good sign.” Viktor interjects through the silence.

“For once something I am actually able to agree with.” Ben speaks out finally.

“No no no.. it’s not that, it just is painful to do that for too long, I just didn’t take into account the affects of doing it with several people at the same time..” you mumbled reassuringly, and your nose bled heavily.

“Are you alright? It looks like you were ..snorting something..” Klaus asks in a rather relaxed tone. And Viktor elbows him for being so inappropriate, which leads to him letting out a mouthed “ouch”.

You wiped the blood from your nose, you were still a bit dizzy, yet conscious enough to have a choice. “I will have you all rebirthed. No powers, and no strings attached.” You announced with a cough of your throat”

“Seriously? How do you know we won’t do this again?” Five stepped up to you. And you stepped even closer. “Then I’ll just have to strike twice. Was that clear enough? Great!” You back up.

You pull out your claymore, and drew a circle around them with it. “With this heavenly claymore, I grant these sky walkers the permission to again roam the earth, a second chance at life. I hope them a fulfilling and a life full of love and the everyone is able to work and get what they need.”

And with that, they were off.

“Tsk.. I’ll keep to keep tabs on those people. My choice could be proven to end up problematic, but I trust in my decision.” You sighed and returned to sit back at your throne.

On earth, there was a bright hospital room, lights all over. A mother, a father, crying happy tears as their baby was born. The nurse soon returned. And handing them the baby.

Jerome, the first descender.

HELP THIS WAS SO FUNNY TO MAKE FOR ME THOIGH IT TOOK QUITE A BIT TO WRITE. SORRY IF ITS BAD ! Give me constructive criticism, and requests are open! Hope you enjoyed, bye!

Character Deep Dive: Klaus, Ryan and the Dance Troupe

Finally, it is done! I hope y’all enjoy this deep dive!! Just please read the trigger warnings first. Seriously, read the trigger warnings first. Cannot stress that enough. Also shout out to my beta readers, y’all are amazing!!!

- <3 Gooseless

Character Deep Dive: Klaus, Ryan and the Dance Troupe

*TW: This deep dive will mention abuse, grooming, misuse of power, and manipulation. All the events and actions mentioned are based on real world events told to me by friends in the dance industry and my personal experience and research into the industry as well. However, this is just a theory based on my analysis and the analysis done by others. No hate to the people who actually like this character. Again, just a theory. Also, there were two attempted murders on screen as well as implying other murders had taken place in the second movie, so I feel like this theory (while very dark) isn’t the darkest the series could go and is therefore not that out of place. DO NOT READ IF SENSITIVE TO ANYTHING PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. Also, no, this is not Klaus friendly. What about anything I’ve ever posted would make you think it is? That man gave me multiple panic attacks and made me go back to therapy for a bit because it reminded me of stuff, so nope, not going to be friendly. *

 As someone who was in dance my entire childhood and was raised by someone who was a dancer for 14 years, I always enjoy watching the representation of the dance world in media. I’m constantly looking for small details that allude to the real-world dance culture and I was ecstatic to note that in Sing 2 we got to see some of those cultural aspects as well as a wide range of diversity within the dance class itself. However, less than forty seconds in, I noticed what would become my main issue with the movie itself, the character Klaus. 

Klaus’s actions were shown to be antagonistic and cruel, yes, but the fact that they were brushed off at the end of the movie to allow him to continue to work with a student he was shown on screen to physically, verbally, and emotionally abuse for the simple reason of “he now knows what he’s capable of and won’t underestimate him again after that performance”. The thing with Klaus is that the major issue wasn’t his underestimating of Johnny’s abilities, it was the very blatant abuse and belittlement that was a constant part of his class. It was bad enough to cause Johnny to have at least one panic attack, and that’s Johnny. A kid who was raised in an extremely high stress situation and is used to being dragged through Buster’s bad and typically very dangerous ideas. Within the course of the first movie, we saw him chased by cops, trapped in a flooding building, and face down a group of potentially dangerous gang members. And while he seemed more than slightly worried and a good bit scared in some of those scenes, it was never enough to cause him to have a panic attack (at least not onscreen).

Yet, when you put him in Klaus’s class for two weeks and he ends up having panic attacks and is clearly extremely burnt out to the point other characters start to notice. You have to ask, what is going on there? Well, after analyzing (probably way too much) everything about Klaus and the dancers I could and doing a ton of research, this is the conclusion I’ve drawn.

 Analysis and Allegations

The actions we see from the character Klaus are far from just concerning. Not only do we see Klaus verbally berate and belittle his students, but we also see him physically hit them. No matter what modern media tells you, these are not normal in the dance world. That’s just blatant verbal, emotional, and physical abuse> It should not be tolerated or seen as normal under any circumstances. And, what’s worse is Johnny’s almost definitely not the youngest in that room. One of them, yes, but most likely not the absolute youngest. Most professional dancers report their first official contract at the age of 18. However, troupes are known to have members as young as 15 years old. And since Klaus was hired as choreographer and was able to produce a troupe on such short notice (literally canonically overnight), those are probably all his current students, meaning those kids could be as young as 12 (the age when most professional dancers report starting to circle the professional sphere, however dance classes can start as young as 2 years old). That is further backed up by the fact that every student stayed.

Now I understand that that statement itself might seem weird, however, contrary to popular opinion, dancers are some of the most terrifying people I have ever had the genuine pleasure of meeting. It’s a cut-throat industry and dancers are a lot of times forced to learn to stand up for themselves against abusive choreographers and directors that don’t actually value them. Most dancers I know would have just walked out the moment they saw how Klaus was treating the others, let alone if he started treating them that way. It’s very much an industry based on self-worth to survive. So, the fact that everyone in that class stayed told me that not only were they used to Klaus’s abuse, but they were also more than likely conditioned to take it. 

Like I said, most dancers tend to be extremely good at sticking up for themselves. Sadly however, as in the majority of athletics industries, grooming is a huge problem in dance. As I previously mentioned, dance classes can start as young as 2 years old with most professional dancers reporting to have started seriously training at the 4–6-year-old range. That means that young children, I can’t emphasize that enough that these are children, are being exposed to Klaus’s abuse on a daily basis (Choreographers typically are also teachers at a dance school and since anyone with common sense would fire him to avoid a lawsuit, I would believe that Klaus owns the school). And as anyone who has interacted with a child before can attest, they are incredibly trusting. So, if they were told by an authority figure that they’ve been told they can trust, like say a teacher, that something is normal and not a big deal and they’re lucky enough to have a nice teacher as others are worse, they’re going to believe it.

Even if as they get older and realize that they were lied to and are in fact being mistreated, a lot of times they feel trapped or have no support systems outside of the people involved in the bad situation. Especially if you have been going to a specialized school where everyone around you has been going through the same thing and your contact with people outside it is extremely limited. This can be made worse by the power held by higher ups in the dance industry (choreographers, casting directors, etc.). Those higher ups completely control the lifeline of everything in the industry. One bad word from one can seriously be a career ender. Not only that, but those people tend to be more successful, more in the public eye, and therefore can sway public opinion against whoever might have spoken up with ease as well as making court cases where poor dancers are going up against vastly successful higher ups a literal nightmare for the dancers. A lot of times they cannot afford a good attorney and will end up losing the case or being hushed by settlements that they desperately need due to a lack of work.  

         Therefore, I believe that even if Klaus’s abuse of his students has been brought to light before, it more than likely was swept under the rug. And I believe his abuse of Johnny was evidence proving that theory. Why? Well, Johnny is different than every other student in that room. Not just because he’s never danced before, but because he is not a permeant member of Klaus’s Troupe. He’s only there for the run of the show. And if you are struggling to see why that might be important, let me explain. Johnny has no stake in Klaus’s success. He will not be affected if Klaus’s name is dragged through the mud. He will not be out of a job if Klaus is fired. What Johnny is, as Klaus and every member of that Troupe must know, is a close, personal friend of the director and absolutely can affect their employment status if he wants. He can have them fired and replaced with a different group the next day if he really wanted to beg Buster for a new teacher. Klaus knew this and still chose to target and abuse Johnny. He knew how risky that was and he still did it. That shows to me that he’s gotten away with that kind of thing before. He’s more than likely done this to several other rookies and not faced consequences. And if he’s willing to do it to them, people with no reliance on his success, he definitely is willing to do it to his students, who are relying on him for essentially everything. If Klaus’s reputation is ruined, so is theirs and their resume will probably not get them as far. If Klaus goes under, they suddenly are out of jobs in a city known for its competitive performing job market. If they speak up, they’ll be fired, and Klaus’s reputation will absolutely carry him through any court case they may try. They are very likely end up homeless and hungry if they lose their jobs with him. Klaus has all the power. And he knows it.

         Those are the primary reasons I believe that not only did Klaus physically, verbally, emotionally, and mentally abuse his students, he more than likely is guilty of several much more sinister crimes like grooming and misuse of power.

 Ryan, The Primary Victim

          This part of my theory is where it gets a little more intricate. In dance, there’s a role in most organizations known as the Principal Dancer. The Principal Dancer is the top dancer in that company and frequently are given not only solos but starring roles in shows the company is hired to perform. Starting to sound familiar? That’s because that’s exactly what we see happen to Ryan. Ryan is given the role of being Johnny’s dance partner in the duet, one of the starring roles in the scene of a show being put on by a head of the entertainment industry. However, when we look at the students during this announcement, none of them look surprised. Ryan seems to have been the choice that everyone was expecting. On top of that, Ryan is the only one of Klaus’s students to publicly receive praise in front of the others, something that again doesn’t seem to surprise anyone. Klaus wasn’t doing that just to make Johnny feel bad (he would have pointed out how other students were doing better than him too), he clearly has praised Ryan before. Ryan is Klaus’s Principal Dancer. And upon realizing that, I immediately started to worry for him.

         Principal Dancers are often used as the example for all other students to follow. They stand at the head of the barre during warmups and help other students during practice. They can even help the teacher/choreographer with the choreography and the class overall. Essentially, they can tend to take on the role of a teaching assistant. And rather unsurprisingly at this point, we see Ryan doing just that during the practice scenes. While we never see them doing group warmups on barre, we do see Ryan seemingly helping another student correct their pose when Johnny shows up late for class. In fact, he’s the only student not doing those poses and is instead walking between the others as if checking what they’re doing. He also then proceeds to do the fight scene choreography perfectly. And while we might be meant to brush that off as “oh, he’s a talented dancer, of course he can do the choreo perfectly”, I’m here to tell you that essentially no one can do choreo absolutely perfectly on their first full run through. And that’s what it’s hinted at being, especially for Ryan. Johnny might have learned bits and pieces of the fight scene choreo before that point, however, Ryan’s role was announced in that very scene, and he was still able to do the choreography perfectly. That means that Ryan had practiced that choreo before, more than likely numerous times till he was able to do it flawlessly. And that means, he was more than likely practicing alone, or at least without Johnny (a neutral third party who would note and potentially protest any abuse), with Klaus.

         We know that Klaus has hit his students before, hell we see him do it multiple times in the movie itself, and we know that he also verbally and emotionally berates his students on the regular. We can see by how his students react to this, how scared they look, that they too are targets. And statistically, the person closest to the abuser is typically their primary victim. In this instance, we know the person closest to Klaus within the troupe is Ryan.

         What’s more, the behaviors of Ryan and Klaus within the movie hint to this fact as well (this is probably where I go into over analysis but I’m too far deep in this rabbit hole now so). For starters, let’s look at the scene where Johnny, Buster, and Gunter enter the training room. The first thought that blared through my mind was their shoes. If you didn’t know, street shoes are not allowed on practice room floors, like ever. It can wear down the flooring and therefore make it extremely dangerous for the dancers. So, the fact that the dancers didn’t say anything in of itself was odd, but then again, the Principal Dancer might have been the one expected to speak up in that instance since it involved the show’s director. Speaking of the Principal Dancer, Ryan is the one dancer we do not see in that opening scene. He’s nowhere to be found and neither is Klaus. Now, Klaus being gone on the first day of a show isn’t that surprising. Choreographers have a lot of people they have to talk to such as the director, the publicity manager, the wardrobe department, etc. but Ryan being missing is odd. For one, he would technically be, at least honorarily judging by the troupe’s dynamic, in charge while Klaus is gone, and two, there’s no way they didn’t know they would be getting their new dancer (Johnny) that morning. Having no one there to formally met him or tell him the expectations would spell disaster to a cohesive first practice. And yet Ryan is missing. He could have just stepped out for a moment, true, or been helping Klaus with something, but we never see him being treated as an assistant choreographer so that seems a bit far-fetched to me. Therefore, I have chosen to believe theory three: he wasn’t allowed to be there.

         Now some of you might realize where this theory is headed, but still, let’s keep going. Why wouldn’t a Principal Dancer, the top performer in the company, be allowed to be there when the new student was introduced for the first time? I don’t think it was due to the new student, it was due to who would be there with him. Johnny didn’t walk into that practice studio alone, he walked in with the director and the screen writer, two people of power on set. What’s more is that those two are currently being backed by one of the heads of the biggest entertainment industries in what’s hinted at being the world. They have power and they can use it. If Ryan would have said something to them, perhaps warning them of what Klaus is like or asking for help, they would immediately have them removed from the show and done anything in their power to help Ryan. Therefore, Klaus kept Ryan close or might have even sent him out to do something to avoid him saying anything that could hurt his image. And what’s more, I think Ryan would have. Let’s look at Ryan’s behaviors throughout the movie now, shall we?

         First off, I will admit Ryan is a character with one to two lines and a surprisingly limited amount of screen time for actually being decently important to the plot (though he might have more/close to the same amount screen time than Alfonso if I remember correctly. I’ll have to check.). The first time we actually see Ryan, it’s at Crystal’s Auditions. However, he’s not auditioning. From what I can see (and common fan theories) he’s there to support someone, maybe a friend, maybe a child of a sponsor of the dance company. And he’s also more than likely supposed to be networking for the company as well, getting these potential rich sponsors to like him enough to support Klaus’s company. That is a job assigned to Principal Dancers at certain companies after all. In the scene where we see Ryan, we actually notice him mostly paying attention to Johnny (yes, I do ship them, no, that is not where this is going, nice try). In fact, we see him look him up and down and watch him the entire time he’s in the room. Why is that important for non-shipping reasons? Because there is no way Ryan did not recognize Johnny the next day when he showed up in Klaus’s class. He saw him as a janitor and the next time he sees him apparently his director is friends with Clay Calloway, and they can put on an award-winning show with only three weeks of prep? Yeah, there’s no way Ryan didn’t know that wasn’t a lie. He knew they snuck in. And he didn’t say anything. Klaus would have absolutely used that as ammo against Johnny if he knew and we don’t know enough about the other troupe members to know if they would have told him if Ryan had mentioned it, so it’s a decently safe assumption that he didn’t say a word. He was willing to protect them and their secrets, no questions asked.                                                                                           

         Now, onto where we actually see a fair bit of Ryan, the dance classes. This is where we finally see Ryan being acknowledged as the Principal Dancer as well as a surprising amount of his personality. For starters, we can tell he’s extremely patient and dedicated. He never seems annoyed or upset that Johnny’s struggling so much to the point they have to go long. He is just calm and steady, doing the choreo over and over again the exact same way so Johnny can get used to the same movements. He also has clearly been dancing since he was a kid to reach the rank of Principal Dancer when he’s as young as he is (I always though he and Johnny were close in age, 18-19 years old). So, what do we now know about Ryan? That he’s trustworthy, patient, and very dedicated.

         Now on to why this personality we see hints to Ryan actually being a threat to Klaus’s reputation. Ryan doesn’t act like Klaus. And why does that mean Ryan doesn’t agree with Klaus’s views? Well, a lot of times when people of similar ideologies and behaviors are together, they amplify those traits in each other (think about things like political rallies or groups of friends). Or think of how couples who have been together a long time develop the same habits or how kids mimic their caretakers (and since Ryan is Klaus’s Principal Dancer and probably been training with him for years that probably the closest fit). However, Ryan’s mannerisms and personality seem to be the exact opposites of his teacher’s. He’s even willing to sneak into Crystal Theatre to help them put on the show apparently behind Klaus’s back, seeming to lead the other students there. He doesn’t align himself with his teacher’s ideology towards Johnny at all. In fact, we see him being extremely supportive of the other boy during the show and practices. At this point, it’s pretty clear to me that Ryan has definitely grown disillusioned with whatever Klaus probably told him as a young student and in fact seems to rebel against his teacher’s wishes constantly. He wouldn’t have held back if he had been alone with Buster and Gunter that day. He would have warned them.

         You might be asking “So if this is the case, why hasn’t Klaus fired him then?” Well, simple, sponsors. Remember how I said earlier that Principal Dancers are commonly used for networking between different troupes? Well, as we can observe, Ryan seems to be a very friendly and outgoing guy. He seems like the kind of person who can make friends quickly and easily. And while that is great for making those networking connections, it also means those connections are more than likely fonder of Ryan, a cheerful and friendly young adult, then Klaus, who is shown to be a perfectionist and egotistical. If Klaus was to fire Ryan (especially since I don’t think Ryan would sign an NDA), Ryan would more than likely go to those sponsors and ask for help. He likely could financially cripple the troupe if he wanted to. Klaus is kinda stuck with him at this point.

         And that being stuck with him, especially since Ryan is almost definitely under contract, spells worse news for Ryan. If he leaves and breaks contract, he can be sued, and that lawsuit would probably destroy his future in the dance industry. And if he stays, Klaus more than likely is going to target him even more to try to eliminate the chances of Ryan saying anything (gaslighting, scarily common these days). Ryan is trapped between abuse and essentially financial desolation for the foreseeable future.

        That wraps up by deep dive into the theory that sprung to life after watching the interactions and behaviors of the dance troupe and Klaus in Sing 2. And in the case of a TL:DR scenario, I believe that Klaus has committed much worse crimes than what we’re shown on screen and I believe that Ryan is his primary victim.

45 Jahre Lebenshilfe Buchen

Vorsitzender Gerhard Gramlich, Birgit Palamar, Gerhard Schwing, Bürgermeister Roland Bürger und Dekan Balbach. (Foto: Martin Hahn) Hainstadt. (mh) 45 Jahre Lebenshilfe Buchen und Umgebung e. V. – Grund genug für eine Feierstunde und einen Tag der offenen Tür im Lebenshilfezentrum in Hainstadt. „Es ist völlig normal, verschieden zu sein“ – dieses Zitat von Richard von Weizsäcker steht sinnbildlich für die wertvolle Arbeit, die dieser Verein seit nun schon 45 Jahren leistet. Vorsitzender Bernd Rathmann konnte am Samstagabend zahlreiche Gäste und Ehrengäste zur Feierstunde begrüßen. Für die musikalische Umrahmung im vollbesetzten Lebenshilfezentrum sorgten, wie konnte es auch anders sein, die eigene Hausband „Happytones“. Neben Landrat Dr. Achim Brötel konnte Rathmann Buchens Bürgermeister Roland Burger und Beigeordneten Benjamin Laber genauso willkommen heißen wie Dekan Johannes Balbach, Diakon Mario Michelli und Kirchengemeinderat Klaus Heller von Kirchgemeinden. Familiär, wertschätzend und harmonisch, so könnte man die Atmosphäre an diesem Abend am ehesten beschreiben. Rathmann, der diesen Verein seit nunmehr 2013 führt und der vom Landrat in dessen Rede das Prädikat „unkaputtbar“ erhielt, hat einen großen Anteil daran. In Bezug auf „äußerliche Behinderungen“ sagte er, dass die eigenen inneren Werte immer unangetastet bleiben würden. Er bedauerte in seiner Rede den allgemeinen Rechtsruck, der unsere Demokratie gefährden würde. Entsprechende Politiker würden Inklusion als „Irrweg“ bezeichnen – Formulierungen, die an altes „NS-Vokabular“ erinnern. Die Lebenshilfe dagegen setze auf „gemeinsam stark durchs Leben“. Nicht zuletzt bei den gerade stattgefundenen Paralympics in Paris konnte man sehen, zu welchen Höchstleistungen Menschen mit Behinderung fähig seien. Unsere Aufgabe sei es, diesen Menschen Schutz und Hilfe zuteilwerden zu lassen und Vorurteile in der Bevölkerung abzubauen. Bernd Rathmann ging anschließen auf die Geschichte der Lebenshilfe ein: Bereits 1965 gab es im Landkreis Buchen einen Zusammenschluss betroffener Eltern, betreuender Mediziner und Pädagogen, der zehn Jahre Bestand hatte. Die Lebenshilfe Buchen wurde 1979 mit 41 Personen gegründet, Mitbegründer und dann Ehrenvorsitzender war Friedrich Longin, der den Verein 18 Jahre lang leitete. Vom einstigen Gründerteam sind noch bis heute Irene Radloff und Werner Weigand aktiv. Nach Friedrich Longin folgten als Vorsitzende Werner Weigand, Eveline Müller, Ursel Johmann, Lioba Lang, Walter Knauf und seit 2013 Bernd Rathmann.

Man habe sich in dieser Zeit auch aktiv für die Einrichtung des Schulkindergartens „Pusteblume“ und der Werkstätte für Behinderte in Buchen der Johannesdiakonie eingesetzt. Anschließend ging er auf eine Vielzahl von Aktivitäten, von Weihnachtsfeiern über Frauen- und Familientreffs bis hin zu „familienentlastende Dienste“ ein. Die Gründung der „Lebenshilfe Big-Band“ im Jahr 2004, zwischenzeitlich unter dem Namen „Happytones“ bekannt, war genauso ein Highligt wie der Erwerb der Lebenshilfegebäude, leerstehende Asylantenheime, im Jahr 2006. Der damalige Vorsitzende Walter Knauf hatte den Kauf und Sanierung mit zahlreichen Unterstützern und Helfern nach vorne gebraucht. 2014 wurden dann die Einweihung der beiden Häuser und das 35-jährige Jubiläum gefeiert. Mit dem Verbindungsbau erhielt der Gebäudekomplex 2018 sein aktuelles Aussehen. Man wurde in Hainstadt immer, dies betonte Rathmann, „mit offenen Armen“ empfangen. Mit diesem tollen Team habe man auch die schwere Coronazeit überstanden – die Freude „nach Hygienekonzepten“ sei anschließend umso größer gewesen. Abschließend ging er auf verschiedene weitere Angebote wie den Seniorentreff für Menschen mit Behinderung und Freizeiten für schwerstbehinderte Menschen ein. Das Investitionsvolumen alleine seit 2006 waren rund eine Million Euro, „ich versichere“, so Rathmann weiter, „jeder Euro kommt den Aufgaben der Lebenshilfe zugute“. Es sei die Aufgabe des Staates, Menschen mit schlechteren Ausgangschancen zu helfen und genauso müsse der jenen auf die Finger klopfen, die ihre eigene Stellung auf Kosten der Allgemeinheit ausnützen würden. In Hinblick auf das anstehende Feierwochenende lud er ein dabei zu sein „wenn wir gemeinsam Inklusion in unserer Gesellschaft erlebbar machen“. Landrat Dr. Achim Brötel überbrachte in seinen Grußworten die herzlichen Glückwünsche des Landkreises zum 45. Geburtstag. „Was die Lebenshilfe anpackt, gelingt einfach“, so sein Kompliment. Es gehe nicht um Einzelinteressen, sondern um das große Ganze. Menschen mit Behinderung gehörten einfach dazu. Buchens Bürgermeister Roland Burger bezeichnete die Leistung der Lebenshilfe als „bewundernswert“. Hier gehe es nicht um „schneller, weiter, höher“ sondern um die wertschätzende Betreuung von Menschen mit Behinderung. Die Tage der offenen Tür, Weihnachtsmärkte und die Auftritte der „unnachahmlichen“ Happytones zeigen dies immer wieder. Ein zentraler Meilenstein für die Entwicklung der Lebenshilfe sei die Entwicklung des Lebenshilfezentrums gewesen. Hier habe die Stadt, wie auch bei dem Ausbau des Spielplatzes, gerne geholfen und unterstützt. Abschließend konnte Burger im Auftrag der Schützengesellschaft Buchen einen Scheck über 651,50 €, der Sammelbetrag des Schützenmarkt-Frühschoppens, überreichen. Nach einer gewohnt schwungvollen Überleitung der hauseigenen Band Happytones unter Leitung von Martin Grollmuss freuten sich die beiden Vorsitzenden auf die Ehrungen verdienter Mitglieder. Paul und Sigi Ender, Gerhard Schwing und Birgit Palamar wurden für ihre langjährige und überaus engagierte Mitarbeit gelobt und zu Ehrenmitgliedern ernannt. Ob als Tüftler oder Kassenwart, Finanzgenie oder Kreativbastler, alle hätten über Jahre hinweg zum Erfolg der Lebenshilfe beigetragen. In seinem Schlusswort bedankte sich zweiter Vorsitzender Gerhard Gramlich „aus Sicht der Lebenshilfe-Mitglieder“ bei den Betreuern, mit denen man „lachen, tanzen, weinen, spielen und singen“ könne. „Wir spüren, dass wir willkommen sind“. Die Happytones schafften es anschließen im Handumdrehen, alle Gäste zum Mittanzen und mitschunkeln zu bewegen. Sogar die „Altrocker“ kamen bei einer Interpretation das Gassenhauers „We will rock you“ mit einer länzenden Soloeinlage von „Sänger Theo“ voll auf ihre Kosten. Das anschließende gemütliche Beisammensein war der gelungene Abschluss dieser harmonischen Feierstunde. Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

During that time, she receives a news that the author of the book which was adapted for the screen 20 years ago where she play a main role and now in its remake, she’s doing another part, while a young sensation playing the main part. This is more like the evolution of cinema. The 20 years is too soon for her, while the cinema and its trend advanced rapidly. Precisely to say, the commercial films and young actors taking over the art films and true artists’ places respectively. If you at least 30 years old, you would get this film more than others. Because while I was growing up in the 90s, the cinema was so different. I’m not talking about the technology like computer graphics, but the story and how it was narrated for the screen. Now the science- fiction and dystopian themes taking over with the young audience and social media support. I think it was a quite meaningful film, particularly if you adore films like the recent evolution in cinema was so faster than ever. The negatives were, the film was too long, slow pace and too simple drama. The positives were, the actors and their performances, the locations, theme and some of the dialogues. Directed by a French filmmaker, this is an international project with a few guest appearances. Most of the film was set in the Alps. Totally different than what I was anticipating, but I still like, except in a few parts where I got bored for its weak development. So this is for the selected audience, that mean it will be appreciated by a very few and I’m kind of neutral with mostly in its favour. _6/10_ M...
