fav character tag game 🌷🌙
Règles : faites un sondage auprès de vos cinq personnages préférés de tous les temps et voyez qui est le favori parmi vos abonnés !
Taggué par @ladyniniane ! Merci pour le défi !
Et pour le retour de tag... je dirais @mwezina , @randomnameless et n'importe qui passant et voulant tenter l'exercice !
#jeu de questions#ça a été dur de faire un choix !#Parmi les mentions honorables :#Félix évidemment aurait pu être là mais je me suis borné à un seul personnage par oeuvre donc il n'est pas en duo avec son père#(vu que c'est la relation entre les deux que j'adore le plus)#Ophilia d'Octopath Traveler 1 j'adorais son arc et que pour une fois le personnage religieux soit traité comme un personnage#et l'église n'est pas montré comme la grande méchante responsable de tout parce que RELIGION = MAAALLL !!!#vu que j'ai étudié le culte de Mithra ça fait plaisir de voir un culte traité comme quelque chose qui peut aider pour une fois#Mao Mao des Carnets de l'Apothicaire j'adore son intelligence et sa capacité d'adaptation ainsi que son côté très... “chat”#mais j'avoue que son absence de curiosité ou quand elle se borne à ne pas se poser de question m'énerve parfois un peu alors...#L'Avatar de Monster Hunter Story 2 : premier degré iel a un chouette arc avec son Monstie où elle doit apprendre à lui faire confiance#et iel fait tout pour le sauver et prouver que ce n'est pas un monstre avec un chouette message sur les histoires déformées avec le temps#Fubuki aurait pu remplacer Tokiyuki mais... mais je suis toujours pas remise du tome 12 -ceux qui ont lu le manga sauront... pourquoi ? T_T#Carmilla Carmine de l'Hellaverse a failli être ici aussi vu que c'est le seul parent autorisé à être compétent chez VivezziPop ça change...#vu que même si j'aime son univers- son traitement des personnages de parents m'énervent de plus en plus et me fait hésiter à arrêter Helluv#Stolas a déjà assez de problèmes pas la peine de lui en ajouter un avec Octavia qui le rejette pour soutenir sa mère toxique et abusive#Et Zeno dans Yona - Princesse de l'Aube qui est un personnage très touchant surtout que le thème de l'immortalité me touche beaucoup#Si je devais donner deux récurrences ce serait :#Les personnages jeunes qui doivent grandir pour devenir des adultes responsables décents tout en gardant leur joie de vivre#et les adultes responsables prenant soin des plus jeunes et pouvant les protéger et les guider en cas de besoin#(ou la retrouvant ou est les deux dans le cas de Zeno)

how to take part: go to pinterest, search "[your name] core aesthetic" and create a moodboard from the first nine images!
coziness, countryside, couture, all with a dash of frenchness — the amélie moodboard
tagged by my dearest @snckt and tagging whoever wants to!!!! if you see it you're tagged go do it <3
#personal#fun fact i straight up skipped anything that was from the movie#it's the price of that movie being so popular if you type in my name anywhere it's the FIRST thing that comes up#i came first!!!! i was born before the movie!!!! that movie owes me royalties!!!!!#other fun fact: i was the only person in my ap french class who hadn't watched that movie#cuz after the ap exam there were still some weeks left so the class was like 'oh let's watch a movie'#and someone suggested 'amélie' and everyone was like 'nah we've all seen it' and i was like 'i haven't'#despite it literally being my name#and it's here i should point out that i was the youngest in that class cuz at my school freshmen were not allowed to take ap classes#but since i'm a native french speaker and had just come from a french school admin made an exception and let me take the class directly#rather than go through some nonsense honors course that they all knew i wouldn't need#so my status as both The Baby of the classroom as well as having the name of a movie i was the only person to have not seen#sealed the deal and we watched that movie#it's good. it's not my favorite movie by far or even my favorite french movie#(honestly that's probably la grande vadrouille) but it's good

Can F1 stop stealing MotoGP Spanish prestige? Because apparently 'Cuna de Campeones' one of the Spanish racing schools (for bike, and where not only Spanish talents startes) is now part of the F1 program. Like no, it was born to promote 2 wheels talenº
#F1#F2#Formula 1 Heineken Dutch Grand Prix 2023#Dutch GP 2023#DAZN Spain#Cuna de Campeones#If I'm not mistaken it was born in 1999 as response of the lack of 500cc Spanish champions#and counterpart of the Movistar Activa Talent Cup or La Caja Madrid

i just made myself sad by realizing that the main fic of ROTD takes place in 1877, nine years before my favorite painting ever would be finished :(
#on the plus side van gogh's still got several years left to live#starry night wont be painted for another 12 years tho#ROTD#fitting ROTD into irl history is very fun to me#for example#marie curie and frank lloyd wright are both 10#henry ford is 14 and arthur conan doyle is 18#tolkien isnt even born but lewis carrol is 45#edison is 30 but his light bulbs wont be invented for two more years#(tesla for comparison is 21)#(so is freud. however he wont come up with the batshit insane complex for roughly another 20 years)#for the record the painting is A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jette#and ROTD takes place on January 8th and 9th of 1877

its crazy when you realize something you assumed was unremarkable is actually unique to your own culture. i.e having to rent the entire cabane à sucre for a family get together because your parents have 87 million aunts and uncles. turns out this only happens if youre from quebec and the catholic church threatened your great-grandparents with abuse and eternal damnation to force them to churn out babies constantly
#fr quand jme suis rendu compte que cpas universel les gros partys de famille avec la trallé de matantes pis de mononcs que tu connais mm pas#seriously i need you guys to understand my mom has like 30 aunts and uncles.#not counting the ones that died shortly after being born (a common occurence in quebec back in the day)#(especially if you lived in a town so dogshit it was literally named Asbestos)#ton arrière-arrière-grand-père il a défriché la terre ton arrière-grand-père il a labouré la terre et puis ton grand-père a rentabilisé la#etc etc

His Chosen Bride (Senator!Coriolanus Snow x Capitol Reader).
Chapter 1
masterlist
series masterlist
excerpt
summary: senator coriolanus snow seems on top of the world with everything in his life ahead of him except for one thing. the perfect bride. in his pursuit, your life changes forever.
word count: 1.7k
a/n: thank you everyone for your patience as I prepared this!! i hope you all love it and show your support through likes, reblogs and especially comments of what you thought! i love hearing what my readers and other people in the fandom think about my work, so any of your thoughts would be appreciated.
requests OPEN
Upon his return to the Capitol, his reputation restored, wealth acquired from the Plinths who so generously named him the heir to their grand fortune, his path to power was paved for him and he knew he just had to take the strides to get to the prize. The Presidency.
Coriolanus Snow, scion of one of the oldest and most elite of bloodlines of the great Panem families was home, his shameful exile to District 12 remembered by no one and purged from the registry.
Enrolled in university and an apprentice gamemaker, he was eventually promoted to become Senior Gamemaker upon Dr. Gaul’s semi-retirement and her preparation to hand off the reins to her protégé. Her brain child whom she molded from the vestiges of his sorrow and pain, of his loss in the districts and what hardened him into the man he was now.
When he graduated with honours from the political science department, it was only a few months before he was elected in a landslide to become the youngest Senator in Panem’s history, relying on his contributions to the recent games, memories of his late parents to those of a certain age to secure his win.
He would have considered re-election for another term before advisors of his and other cabinet members of the old, sickly President Ravinstill were close to swearing their support but all echoed the same thing that he lacked, they said. It was not his youth, he was wise for his age they said, but he was not married. If he had a wife, they said - they would be on board for his presidential election. And it seemed that election would be sooner than later, even before his first term finished.
Coriolanus needed to find a wife, not just of good breeding, but of the most impeccable lineage, from among the most illustrious hundred or so families of Capitol society. It was a given it would be purely political and strategic, someone whom he could not love and open his heart to after his previous tragedy pursuing such.
The perfect bride. The search for the perfect companion, the woman whom he would call his wife, his future first lady, and mother of his heirs. The ideal woman who would bridge the gap between his dreams to make them a reality.
He could not just choose the first possible candidate recommended to him or that caught his eye, Coriolanus had to devise a thorough, multi-step testing process to find his perfect wife, his bride.
A rigorous procedure would be curated in finding her. Interviews, tests, exams, genealogical inquiries, fitness tests, and practice scenarios will be prompted from eligible candidates, already filtering through those only from the old, grand families upon application.
Digging through his family library into the latest edition handbook of noble and elite families of the Capitol’s upper class, the creme de la creme, ignoring recently disgraced clans, ones full of scandal and controversy, with plenty of illegitimate children, and extinct ones rotting in poverty nearly like his own had he not reversed their fortune.
He scheduled a meeting with his advisors and closest allies on creating the program, the selection process, examinations and interrogation, and how to make the announcement for the families of these eligible girls to put their names in, with their consent or not.
Coriolanus Snow was born from the upper echelon of society, and only deserved the best woman with whom he would continue his lineage with and hail his presidency with. No one had dared, rather self-important he could argue if he cared, to make as many girls clamour for his attention rather than to propose to a woman of his choice.
Just as he was about to put the book down and shut it closed, a name caught his attention. Yours. Your lineage, accomplishments, your etiquette were second to none, and he had to have you. At all costs. He would burn heaven and hell, but the question remains - would he win you over? Or will he have to force your hand no matter what?
Besides, he requires others to choose from, even if you are the most qualified. It would not do well for your ego to have the satisfaction you were chosen for. He wants you to want it, to beg for it, claim it and aspire to be one worthy to be by his side, motivated by the competition who would slit your throat and ruin your reputation for it.
And yet a lingering thought crept up his mind. He had brought life back into the Hunger Games, that was on its dying breath before his arrival, why not another? Everything is a game if you try hard enough.
…
A brightly lit room surrounded you as you grabbed a few more pieces of dandelions and baby’s breath bunches for your bouquet, in your floral arrangement lessons for the week. Under the watchful eye of your teacher, a premiere florist who is hired by the Capitol’s elite for the most fashionable and well-sought events every season.
Hailing from one of the oldest families among the Capitol’s blue bloods, your family may not be the wealthiest but definitely prosperous to be among them, yet your lineage is prominent even before Panem’s founding, the most ancient of them all.
In your family home’s perfectly manicured garden, you immerse yourself in the arrangement, something that would impress your teacher yet also something you would find pleasant in a vase by your study. No way would someone of your heritage be found associating with anything subpar.
After your studies at the Academy, your lessons and tutoring would never end, usually something different for each day. Piano, ballet, etiquette, floristry, household management, painting and so on.
As you gathered a crimson bow around the branches of your bouquet, you could hear murmurs among the uniformly dressed maids and servants around the stately home, as your mother jaunted towards you in her glossy designer heels.
“Yes, mother?” You greeted politely, observing the unreadable expression on your mother’s face.
She approached you carefully, gently taking your hands in her own, soft and having never experienced hardship.
“A great honour has been bestowed on you, daughter. A promising Senator has taken a liking to you, and wants you to be considered for his future bride.” Your mother smiles in celebration and pride, and your brows furrow in consternation.
“A Senator as old as father? A man old enough to be my grandfather-”
“Hush, darling. He is young, from a proper family of the elite family unlike those Plinths, new money scum. Senator Coriolanus Snow, the son of late General Crassus Snow and his wife Victoria Snow. He is only twenty four, I think you would like him.” She brushes your hair behind your ears, but you turn away from her, pushing her hands away.
“Twenty four, when I am eighteen?”
Your mother shrugs. “It is the way of the world I suppose. I was your age when I met your father. Eighteen and he was twenty one, a match fit for the sort like us.”
“You mentioned I was being considered but no outright proposal or courting has begun. What do you mean?”
She unveiled a large envelope she was holding behind her back, taking it out for you before a gold hued canvas invitation was unveiled.
Dear Y/N L/N and family, I hope this letter finds you well. As I have progressed through my career as a gamemaker and politician, it has been too long since I have navigated through life without a lifelong companion and wife.
You are a woman of unblemished character, accomplished in many ways, intelligent, well-bred and would fit the bill of what a man like me seeks in a future partner.
There is no guarantee that you must receive this invitation and accept, but rather that your name will be included in a pool of candidates to be considered. I hope that you and your family would view this as a position of honour, and even if you shall not be chosen, you will be compensated for your time and this shall only raise your standing in our society.
Please reply to the number and address attached below with your response, and I would be beholden and pleased to hear if you would put your name forward to possibly become my future First Lady.
Sincerely, Senator Coriolanus Snow
You could not believe it, the humiliation of not being asked directly for one’s hand in marriage but having to compete with other ladies of society and grovel for his attention.
“Are you and papa seriously making me do this? The Hunger Games to be someone’s wife and heir maker?!”
Your mother sighs, shaking her head as she crosses her arms. “You do not understand, child. I have heard of other elite families whose daughters, sisters, nieces such as the Heavensbees, the Cardews, Dovecotes, among a few have been invited and all have accepted. No one would even think to refuse a Snow!”
“But it is not guaranteed. How would I not be offended if he did not make a guaranteed offer but wants me to participate like I am in a beauty pageant. I have to close off even entertaining other suitors and I am not even assured that I will not be left dry and humiliated if I was not chosen.”
“Your grandmother was Miss Panem many years ago before the war and those rebels ruined everything, I am sure he will choose you. Even if he did not, any other unmarried peer of yours would scoop you up in no time, that if Snow perceived you as someone potential, they are from the cream of the crop.”
You sighed, putting down your shearing tools and your bunches of daisies and baby’s breath. You never liked roses.
“You have always aimed for the stars, daughter. Would you pass on an opportunity like this or be forgotten to the tombs of time?” Your mother suggests, walking over to you with a guiding hand on your shoulder. “Choose wisely if you want to make something of yourself, to not pass on opportunities like this.
Golden letter in hand, you stared intensely at the dark line above your name, signifying whether you would submit your name or not. With a bold stroke of your ink pen, you sign your fate and future away. I agree to participate.
Let the games begin.

hello (one of the) resident phannie data analyst(s) here with some parasocial stats on dnp’s movie tastes! following: distribution of dan and phil's ratings overall, movies they each rated 5 stars, their lowest-rated movies, and the similarities + differences in their tastes
(lore moment: yes i am a data analyst in my real job. yes i surprised myself with wanting to do this in my spare time. but then i remembered when we read dracula in college (yes i was an english major) and i graphed like, how many times dracula was referred to as vampire versus monster or something. so i shouldn’t be surprised.
first up, their overall rating patterns and by ~special status~ (i.e., wall-e, kill bill, avatar, lmao, plus big hero 6 for the fun of it)
dan’s rated 304 movies and phil’s rated 305. both of them have mean and median ratings of 4 with min 1 and max 5.
both rated kill bill vols. 1 and 2 a 5. wall-e got a 4.5 from dan and a 4 from phil (phake phans). both gave avatar a 3.5. and big hero 6 3.5 (dan) and 4.5 (phil)
rating distribution:
i did analyses here by genre but i need to fix the output (i’m writing all of these based on the markdown document from my phone on the subway, but i need to fix the outputs and i don’t have my computer. so those are pending but there are other genre analyses that i could do & haven’t yet!)

PICK A CARD ⭒ which ancestor is reaching out to you?
reminder that this is a general reading and messages found here may not apply to everyone. take what resonates, leave what doesn't, and don't force anything if it does not fit.
BOOK A READING WITH ME · LINKTREE · 18+ PATREON · SUGGEST A PAC TOPIC · TIPS ♡ tips, bookings, and feedback are highly appreciated!
GROUP ONE
cards · the high priestess, queen of wands, king of pentacles, page of pentacles
channelled songs · stand by me by wayv. gangsta luv by snoop dogg & the-dream. i will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie.
hey there group one ♡ this is a paternal ancestor, a female ancestor from your father’s side. she is slavic, scandinavian or an indigenous person in this general area of europe.
sami, kurdish, and uyghur also come to mind.
this ancestor may be your father’s grandmother, or the grandmother of a grandmother for example.
because of this, this is likely not someone you have met -- though she has watched over you since you were born. no, since earlier. since before your conception. she has prayed and willed you into existence.
GROUP TWO
cards · the lovers, the world, nine of swords, six of pentacles.
channelled songs · bodak yellow by cardi b. restraint by florence + the machine. eternal sunshine by ambré & g-eazy.
hey there group two ♡ this is someone who died for love. suddenly, i keep thinking about the movies ‘bladerunner 2049’ and ‘mulan’. in both movies we see characters who are driven by love, who go on these grand journeys and fight these battles so much bigger than them all because of love. love in whatever shape or form.
this ancestor is someone who died at war. they may have been a general, for some of you, while for others of you they were a common soldier. they were likely drafted, or had a legal or familial obligation to fulfil, and the only thing that got them through this was the love for a woman.
he would sit up at night thinking of her, looking at the picture he carried around of her, and telling himself he had to make it out to get back to her.
this ancestor is likely japanese (specifically ainu), chinese, brazilian or cuban.
GROUP THREE
cards · ten of challenges, page of cups, ten of pentacles, the fool.
channelled songs · i’m that girl by beyoncé. que me quedes tú by shakira. just the lonely talking again by whitney houston.
hey there group three ♡ this is not really an ancestor… as, ancestor -- at least to me -- denotes someone who died many, many, many years ago. decades and centuries ago. but this person who is reaching out to you is someone who died fairly recently, as this is your father.
in life, your father may have been a man overburdened by stress and worry. he aged fast and young because of the hard life he lived, and died young because of it.
he had a lot of love for you and your family, and took a lot of pride in the life he was trying to build for you, but it was harder than he ever could have ever expected.
he had never been prepared for the harsh reality of life, but he did the best he could with the hand he was given.
GROUP FOUR
cards · queen of pentacles, king of pentacles, the devil, the magician.
channelled songs · a departue - audiotree live version by la dispute. the lady in my life by michael jackson. the bomb dot come v2.0 by sleeping with sirens.
hey there group four ♡ instead of just one ancestor, this is two ancestors who are reaching out to you. a pair of ancestors. soulmates. two people who lived together and died together; who gave their all to each other until the very end.
and then even after the end, in the divine realm as your guides watching over you.
they may have been star-crossed lovers, forbidden to be together by their respective families -- or by the culture and society in which they were born and in which they had to live. and so they ran away.
for some of you, this effort to run away was futile and they decided to take their lives, together, to end this once and for all. for others of you, they were able to get away and have their happy ending.
these ancestors may be from mexico, bosnia, greece. america especially during the antebellum period also comes to mind.

living the fast life - Alexia Putellas
◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤
‘la reina’ and ‘il prescelto’ two women dominating their chosen sport.
Alexia Putellas a two-time ballon d’or winner Carmen Blanc the current formula one world champion.
Two women compared in the media could not be any close together.
(whenever they are speaking english besides in posts is spoke in spanish, it’s easier to write it this way than to translate everything!)
◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤
June 23rd 2024 (day of the Spanish Grand Prix)
@alexiapnews
alexiapnews: Alexia Putellas seen walking to the ferrari motorhome a head of the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix!
Carmen Blanc (ferrari driver) and the Barcelona midfielder have been linked multiple times during the duration of the last two years, no comments have been made in these rumours.
@yn.alexia: OMG THEY HAVE TO BE TOGETHER!
@fanusername1: girl let them live their lives.
@fanusername2: if they are together imagine the f1 x barcelona crossovers we could have!
@ferrarixfootball: 💙❤️🏎️
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
January 31st 2021 (Day of El Clásico)
It was winter break for Carmen Blanco, coming off the back of another successful season in Formula One, second in the Drivers Championship and Ferrari coming third in the Constructors Standings.
Unlike the other drivers on the grid, the Spaniard like to return home to her beloved home city of Barcelona instead of travelling to all four corners of the world.
Being born and raised in Barcelona, her love for football was a big factor in her off season. The Estadi Johan Cruyff might as well be her second home during the winter and summer off season.
Due to her status in the sport community, specifically women in sport, Carmen had been invited to meet the teams after the game.
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
Following a staff member towards the locker rooms, the young lady began to feel her palms sweat. She would be meeting one of her idols.
Carmen had always admired Alexia, her loyalty to Barcelona mirrored that of Carmen’s towards Ferrari. Both women being part of breaking the barriers for women in male dominated sports.
Once she had reached the door, she reached up and knocked three times on the painted wood. Cheers and shouts of joy were heard from inside the changing room as the door was ripped open.
Standing face to face with ‘la reina’ was something she couldn’t believe she would be doing.
“Hola, you must be Carmen. I’m so happy we finally get to meet!”
@carmen.blanco

carmen.blanco: always a joy to be back home, this team has my heart. Forca Barca! ❤️💙
alexiaputellas: thank you for your support, it was amazing to meet you.
carmen.blanco: you too alexia, i was completely star struck!
fanuser1: ALEXIA AND CARMEN CROSSOVER!
carmenxf1: the two best women to do it.
⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆
Over the past three months since being introduced Carmen and the players of Fc Barcelona Femení have all stayed in touch, but specifically the spanish captain and the driver.
Having met on multiple occasions for coffee and dog walks with Alexia’s pomeranian Nala and Carmens Dalmatian Lulu. The two had grown increasingly closer to each other.
Currently laid out on a sun lounger in the backyard of her Barcelona home, Carmen was trying to soak up the last of the Spanish sun before her race season begins. A ding interrupts her peace and she leans over to check her phone.
a delicate blush spreads across her cheeks as she rushes into the house to begin getting ready for the night, nervous for what the future holds for her and Alexia.
◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤◢◤
oops i realised that for the amount of social media posts i’ve made this is going to have to be a multiple part series.
This spans from January of 2021 to June if 2024 so we’ve got a lot to cover!
i can’t wait to get to Alexia’s first ballon d’or win and Carmen claiming for first formula 1 world championship. 
I’m a sucker for a secret romance so 🤭

List of Canonically Trans/gnc Characters
My own list in this post is anime, manga, games mostly but in the spreadsheet you can add anything.
Following my tierlist of them, I realized I should make a public list so theyre not just kept in my head, since I spent quite a while finding these characters. If you want to watch/play anything with trans or gnc characters, you can use this list.
They range from good rep to bad, characters viewed as "traps" or not taken seriously to ones that the whole fandom understands is trans. I've added trigger warnings to the characters and fandoms I know can be triggering. I've also put certain names in bold to show that they're a main character, but i've only watched a few on this list so some are missing.
I would add trigger warnings for "bury your gays" and similar tropes, but I want to avoid spoilers. Maybe you can look it up first if you're worried. I've tried to exclude characters that are referred to as hermaphrodites.
The "crossdressers" section obviously includes some spoilers.
Enjoy :D

"I had to fight to be myself and to be respected. I'm proud to say I'm a lesbian. I don't talk about it too much, but I don't deny it. I've had to confront society and the Church, which says that homosexuals are condemned. It's absurd! How can they judge someone who was born that way? I didn't learn to be a lesbian, nobody taught me to be the way I am. I was born this way. I've never slept with a man. I've never slept with a man. Yes, I'm a virgin and I'm not ashamed. My Gods made me this way"
- Chavela Vargas
Chavela Vargas (María Isabel Anita Carmen de Jesús Vargas Lizano) was a Mexican singer of Costa Rican origin, born in 1919 in Costa Rica and died in 2012 in Mexico.
She is considered a leading figure in ranchera music, which she sang with strength and emotion. Her voice, rough and warm at the same time, served her theatrical, passionate and human interpretations of standards from the traditional Mexican repertoire.
"And since I have to say it almost everywhere, I'll say it: my parents didn't want me. I suffered for it".
She has an extremely difficult and conflicted relationship with her family, who do not accept her in any way. As a teenager, she left her country and her family for Mexico. The young woman rejected and criticised the ultra-conservative society in which she lives. Once in Mexico, she began singing in the streets.
In the 1940s, she became friends with the painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, staying with them for a while and becoming Frida Kahlo's lover.
At the age of 30, she was noticed on Mexico City's Avenida Insurgentes by the composer and famous rancheras singer José Alfredo Jiménez, who became the author of her main hits. With his help, she performed in the cabarets of Mexico City in the mid-1950s before embarking on the road to success in Acapulco, an international tourist destination, where she sang at one of Elizabeth Taylor's weddings.
Chavela Vargas rose to fame in the 1960s and 1970s, touring the world. She became a well-known figure in ranchera song, to which she gave a new lease of life.
Dressed like a man, smoking and drinking like a man, carrying a pistol, "the lady with the red poncho, silver hair and brown flesh" as the Spanish singer Joaquín Sabina described her, is characterised by her red sarape.
In a television interview in 2000, she came out as a homosexual woman. This is where the text at the beginning of the post is from!
Chavela's career reached its peak from the recording of her first album (Noche de Bohemia) in 1961 until the end of the 1970s. This was followed by a long period of fifteen years, during which the singer, suffering from a heavy addiction to alcohol, interrupted her musical career, which she did not resume until 1991.
Encouraged by her friend, the director Pedro Almodóvar, who compared her to Édith Piaf, Chavela embarked on a world tour, performing at the Olympia in Paris and Carnegie Hall in New York. Among her most outstanding performances was Tú me acostumbraste by Frank Domínguez in Pedro Almodóvar's film Babel. Being a close friend of Pedro, she has appeared in several of his films, including The Flower of My Secret.
Following a final concert in Madrid on 10 July 2012 to present her album (La Luna Grande), she was hospitalised in the Spanish capital with serious respiratory problems. She died on 5 August 2012, aged 93.
I am sure you know at least one of her song, La Llorona !
In any case, Chavela was an immense artist who had a profound impact on music, and I'm delighted to have discovered her, or rather re-discovered her. I listened to some of her songs and they're amazing if you like that kind of music ! And please look her up yourself, she was such an interesting person, I couldn't talk about everything in this post or it would have been too long !

A French writer recalls meeting the Romanov sisters
During WWI, French journalist and writer Amélie de Néry, who went by the pen name Marylie Markovitch, was invited to have a private audience with Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna. During this meeting, she was introduced to the four Grand Duchesses by the Tsarina.
In January 1916, her recollections were condensed and published in multiple newspapers throughout America and Europe. She wrote:
With a charming smile she took my hand and told me she was very happy to receive a representative of the women of France, who, like their sisters in Russia, had so bravely borne their burden of anxiety during this cruel war. 'Let me introduce you to my daughters,' she said as soon as I thanked her for granting me an audience. 'This is Tatiana.' Grand Duchess Tatiana also shook hands with me and said she was very much interested in meeting a woman journalist for the first time. She is a beautiful girl, with big blue eyes, full of life, illuminating her fair, young face. At this moment the door opened and a young girl, also in the garb of a sister of mercy, entered the room. 'And here is Olga, my little French daughter' said the czarina. Grand duchess Olga is no less beautiful and charming than her younger sister, but she is more calm and there is something of the serenity of the mystic about her. As the czarina referred to her stay in Paris, it seemed to me as if a dreamy expression came into the daughter's dark soulful eyes. ‘Colonel de Vitchkowsky will introduce you to my two other daughters,' said the czarina, as she parted from me to take up her duties in the operating room; and once more I felt the firm grip of her hand. The two little grand duchesses, Marie and Anastasia, were in the convalescent ward. I found that both, wearing plain white dresses and red hats, standing close to an officer who, seated on the window sill, was playing the balalaika. They both shook hands with me and the music went on.
📍SOURCES: Amélie de Néry; LA Raconteuce, ‘Find Writer Finds Czarina Hard At Work’, El Paso Herald newspaper, 6 January 1916. Her full recollections can be found in Amélie de Néry, ‘L’Imperatrice en Voile Blanc’ in Revue Des Deux Mondes, (1916), p. 566

clip one: An iPhone camera captures a slightly grainy video of Aubrey Yang, wearing a newly given Ferrari cap, greeting Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint Mleux after the Monaco Grand Prix. She shakes his hand and gives her a hug in greeting. The three converse in rapid French, laughing once in a while. Ollie Bearman walks by mid-conversation, and Charles grabs his arm. The tall boy turns and sees Audrey, cheeks flushing visibly. Her back is now turned to the camera, but she waves and he smiles at her. The paddock is crowded and loud, but the camera shakily zooms in on the group. She shakes his hand, and he bends down to ask her something, speaking into her ear. She smiles and nods and he looks to his manager for something. His manager hands him his phone and he takes a selfie with her. He lifts his arm and she slides under it as he hands the phone to Charles. They both hold up peace signs, arms wrapped around the other. She offers him a hug as his manager calls him to leave to an interview. He returns it eagerly, bending down a little to hug her properly. Her hands loop under his arms to pat at his back gently, and his are wrapped around her waist. When they break, he says something again and waves as he leaves. Alexandra and Charles watch on with thoughtful looks on their faces.
clip two: Aubrey Yang, walking hand in hand with Lily Muni He as the two navigate through the paddock.

WESTERN ASIA MEDIA PRESENTS
Dallas Liu and Aubrey Yang for White Jade Tiger
Western Asia Media Interviewer: Welcome, you guys!
Dallas Liu: Thanks for having us, man.
Aubrey Yang: It's so good to see you!
WAMI: It really is. Last time we saw you both, you were working on Crazy Rich Asians and Shang Chi respectively.
DL: laughs and shakes his head. Woah, that was actually so long ago.
AY: Don't, I feel old.
WASMI: Okay, so before we get started, we have a couple of personal questions... Aubrey, we didn't know you spoke French!
AY: Oh, that. I grew up speaking Canadian French at school, because it's mandatory in Canada. But actually, I've met some really good friends lately who are Monégasque, so my accent has been leaning towards there.
WASMI: Are these friends by any chance very famous motorsports racers?
AY: Yeah, Charles and Alex. They're both super cool.
WASMI: Onto you, Dallas...
