Taglist here.
Hey guys, SimpleGenius here! Decided to turn this short Q&A into a legitimate Oneshot for The Silver Chronicles, involving two OCs of mine; Silva and her younger half-sister, Elsa, set in a time in Hope County where Silva had no knowledge of Eden's Gate and the Omar's experienced a time of normalcy. There should be nothing but fluff, yes-siree. Oneshot below the cut:
The buzz of the worn-out camcorder complimented the numbing visuals of the frozen static, but swiftly the unused device booted up.
The specter on the screen was both haunting and ethereal, a memory from a time so much simpler. A normality so sparse in time.
With her trusty camcorder in hand, Elsa admired herself in the mirror. Hair twisted in many small blonde braids, wearing a white sundress laced with magenta patterns that looked like flowers.
The camcorder fizzled, the screen going blank for a moment. She gave it a good whack, faded red paint dusting her black gloves, and the camcorder proceeded to work like normal.
Elsa carried the camcorder away from the mirror, passing through into a lounge. Her hermana, dressed in a yellow flannel and black jeans, her dark hair flowing past her shoulders, seated on their couch having a cup of coffee.
"You ready, Sylvie?" Elsa asked, shuffling cards out of frame. Sylvester placed her cup onto the coffee table, laced gloves fixing creases on a dress she's not wearing. Realizing this, she stops the action and awkwardly cups her knees.
"Si, uh, seguro," Sylvester muttered out, clearing her throat, "How does this work?"
"Essentially, from what Rae-Rae told me, this is a fun little game where siblings answer questions for that net-work mambo-jumbo," Elsa explained, and again shuffled the flash cards she prepared.
"And since we're both sane enough to not invite people to put their noses into where they don't belong, I thought maybe, instead of doing this for strangers, we do it for Persephone," Elsa elaborates further.
Sylvester blinks, grey eyes staring at her younger hermana like a doe caught in headlights. She tilts her head, her right cheek sunk in, chewing her inner cheek.
"Elsa, she's una," Sylvester points out.
"Yeah, I know that," Elsa sighs, understanding but exasperated, "But she won't be for long. When she's older, we can show her this. Let her get to know her mamĂĄ and tĂa some more."
Sylvester's lips didn't quite frown, but she wasn't unconvinced either. "Derecha," she nodded, still wrapping her head around the camcorder's functions.
Elsa was likely grinning behind the camcorder, "Exactly! Now, to make this a bit more fun, I shuffled the questions out of order. Now let's begin."
Elsa showed the flash cards, the shuffle complete, and flipped over the first one.
"Question 19: Who has the worst ideas?" Elsa asked aloud.
Sylvester snorted, uncharacteristic of the person she's supposed to be, a small teasing smile on her healing chapped lips, "Well we both know who that is."
Elsa let out an exaggerated gasp, feigned offense, "Why Sylvie, I am but a respectable, humble and pious shopkeeper. Do you insinuate that I am anything but?"
"Bold words coming from the local daredevil who likes to worry her hermana to near-death," Sylvester retorts, arms crossed.
"...I'm guessing Rae-Rae snitched about my escapes on her roof?"
Sylvester had no need to answer, though Elsa must have seen that she had nothing to worry over, as Sylvester's smile held only amusement.
"Next question," Elsa declared, moving on, "Number 7: Most stable romantic life?"
Both wondered briefly, and Elsa states, "I gotta give this one to you Sylvie. You managed one relationship with Irene far longer than any ones I've had in our time here."
Sylvester narrows her eyes at Elsa, raising a quizzical brow, "Is that so? You and Ezekiel were like two peas in a pod every time you both talked with each other."
"That was brief, and we weren't official. Just some one-upping through flirtation. And he had been a real jerk at first, remember? At least you and Irene had a better start," Elsa deflects, waving a hand onscreen as she desperately denied her hermana's accusations.
Sylvester merely nods her head in feigned agreement as Elsa brings out the next question.
"Question 12: Best memory together?"
Sylvester leaned back on the couch, looking up for a moment. With Sylvester pondering which memory she liked the most, Elsa already found one.
"I'd say buying this residence," Elsa admits, "A place we can forever call our home. Wouldn't you agree?"
Sylvester looked to Elsa, and gave a short nod, "Si, it is up there. But... I'd say my favorite would be when it first rained. Just... playing and dancing like kids do... like we should have been allowed to do."
Elsa must have sensed the solemness in her voice, and replied, "At least we got to do it."
Sylvester hummed, appreciative of that fact.
"Question 15: Would you rather not being able to shower for a month or have the same clothes for a month?"
Sylvester was immediate in her response, "Not shower for a month, obviously. We can just bathe in baths instead."
Elsa laughed, cheerful and loud, "Never thought you'd be the one to take advantage of a loophole Sylvie."
Sylvester smile wholeheartedly, grey eyes sincere as she admitted, "I learned the best from my crafty little hermana."
"Aww," Elsa lightheartedly cooed, and proceeded forward, "Question 5: Who sleeps the most?"
Sylvester raised her hand, "Mother of one very curious and fussy niñita, right here."
"No arguments there," Elsa replied, "Question 14: Dream trip together?"
In a moment of synchronized thought between hermanas, they both state, "Spain."
"Question 16: Who's the older one?"
Sylvester raised her hand once again. Elsa flipped to the next flash card, "Question 10: Who had a weird phase?"
Both pondered for a moment, trying to think of any moment in their lives of such a phase.
"I don't think we were ever given a chance to do so," Elsa states. Sylvester hummed in agreement, shaking her head in confirmation.
"Alright then! Question 6..."
Elsa paused, reading the flash card: 'Who's Mom and Dad's favorite? (If there is one?)'
Sylvester waits, worry building in her gut, and asks, "What's the question?"
Elsa hesitated, but responded, "Who's.... mo- ahem, father's favorite..."
Sylvester briefly gaped, but recovered, stating, "Well, we both know the answer to that question is neither of us."
Elsa hummed, throwing the card away as she proceeded with the next one, "Question 18: Role Model? Mine's you, of course. But who's yours Sylvie?"
"I'd have to say Paul," Sylvester mustered out, clearing her throat, "He saved me after all. Raised me. Gave me something that we were denied."
"I wish I got to meet him," Elsa admits, "From what you told me, he was funny and dramatic."
Sylvester smiled at Elsa's words, "You two would have adored each other."
Allowing Sylvester a moment to keep herself together, Elsa proceeded to the next card, "Question 3: Who eats the most?"
She raised her hand this time, the various rings displayed for the camcorder to catch, "That'd be me! Speaking of which..."
Sylvester cringed, swiftly adding, "I had a sandwich earlier."
But Elsa was not deterred, "While that's good, you skipped breakfast nor have you had any fruits or snacks prior to lunch."
"I'll have something later," Sylvester flimsily promised. Elsa, not satisfied, retorts, "I'll hold you to that."
"Question 8: Worst habit of each one?"
Sylvester sighed, "Well, you already know mine. Though your recklessness is concerning considering your condition Elsa."
"I'm not made of glass, Sylvie."
"Elsa, your bones are brittle and break easily."
"...Okay I'm a little like glass, but I'm not stupid. I can take care of myself. I know what I'm doing when I climb a tree, or go bungee jumping or help Rae-Rae around her farm," Elsa defends. Her hermana replies, "I... I know that Elsa, but even so, you've been seeking out riskier and riskier thrills lately, and I can't... help but worry."
"I appreciate it," Elsa assures, and adds, "But you worry way too often."
Sylvester doesn't argue, and Elsa takes advantage of the momentary silence, "Question 4: Who has been on the weirdest situations?"
Neither hermana could think of either one being in a "weird" situation. Sylvester opted to gesture to Elsa, "Well, given your escapades so far, I vote you."
Elsa huffed, "Seeking thrill is not the same as getting stuck in chance and strange situations."
"And how likely am I going to be in such situations?"
Elsa mumbles, indistinctly playful, and moves on, "Question 20: A GIANT insect is on the wall, who's taking care of it?"
Sylvester raises a brow, "Whoever finds it first."
"Pfft, a bug ain't that scary," Elsa comments, "Question 17: Describe each other in three words."
Elsa and Sylvester held gaze for a moment blurted out their answer.
"My badass worrywart-hermana." "Daring little hermana."
There was a silent beat before both responded to such descriptions.
"Surely that is four words, Elsa," Sylvester argued, but Elsa interrupted with her pointer finger as she replied, "Ah, but you forget my lovely older hermana, the power a hyphen holds."
Sylvester shook her head in disbelief, but did not debate further as Elsa brought forth the next question, "Question 1: Who looks the... ah mierda, another one?"
'Who looks the most like dad?' the question read.
"Is it another relating to... him?" Sylvester tested, her lips pursed in a thin line, her voice softer and quieter than normal. Her grey eyes dulled, hands clenched into her jeans.
Elsa sighs, a hand going out of the camcorder's view, probably to play with her blonde locks, and most likely undo a braid in the process.
"I... Do you mind if we skip this one?" Elsa asks, and Sylvester eagerly nods, much to Elsa's relief, "Question 11: Best cook of the family?"
Elsa answers before Sylvester could have a chance, "Yeah, I can't cook for shit, that's you right there, Sylvie."
Sylvester closes mouth, making no comment on Elsa's lack of culinary skill. Elsa flips the next flash card, "Question 9: Who's the most dramatic?! Why that would be me!"
Sylvester nodded with absolute certainty.
"Question 8: Worst habit of each one?"
Sylvester beat Elsa to the tea, "I got this. I'm a nagging worrywart who forgets her own needs sometimes, and you, mi querida hermana, are a crafty daredevil with a big ego that often gets you into trouble."
"Hah! Wow, you know me so well," Elsa said, flipping to the next flash card, but mentions, "However, you're wrong in your description; you're not a nagger."
Sylvester doesn't visibly react to this, but she seems to be stuck in a forlorn gaze. However, the next question snaps her out of this odd pause, and Sylvester listens attentively.
"Question 13... uh, worst memory together?"
Sylvester and Elsa pondered together, brainstorming.
"Our entire childhood was jodido and never the best," Elsa mentions. Sylvester frowns, and points out, "Si, but the run for the docks weren't any better."
Elsa couldn't not hum in agreement, and she moves on, "Last Question. Number 2: Who looks the most like mom...?"
Sylvester looks baffled as Elsa blows a raspberry, "Irrelevant. We've never met nor did we have the same mother."
Elsa throws away that flashcard out of the camcorder's view, much to Sylvester's visible annoyance.
"And... that's it. We finished the game. Yay!" Elsa lightly cheered, her camcorder focusing on Sylvester, "So... food for thought?"
Silva watched herself, younger and with so much more innocence, more hope, than she had now. The camcorder in her gloved hands was running hot, the flashing sunset-red indicating a coming end, but she could care less, holding onto the memory in her hands for as long as she could.
Sylvester chewed her inner cheek and said, "Besides two nosy ones, I'd say it was... nice?"
Elsa's mock offended gasp was as exaggerated as the younger hermana's mannerisms had always been, "Just 'nice'? This is a memorial moment for the both of us. It is evidence for Persephone to watch and rewatch for years to come."
Elsa placed the camcorder on the coffee table, and sat down next to Sylvester on the couch, a big grin spread out, pearly teeth shown. She grabs a hold of Sylvester's laced gloved hands, despite the latter's exasperation over the former's words.
"Wasn't it you who emphasized the importance of this? To immortalize ourselves through memories our family can visit decades after we're gone? Whether it be through ink, our voices or our image? You have to agree that this is quite a viable way to do that," Elsa assures Sylvester, who's doubt dissipated the longer she thought.
The camcorder began to buffer, the orange-red blinking faster, but Silva continued to watch, wanting to savoir this for as long as she could.
Sylvester's grey eyes looked to Elsa, softly asking, "Okay. But I have to ask; are you sure?"
Elsa laughed, her dimples caught by the camcorder's lens, as she says-
Nothing.
The camcorder's screen was blank, only reflecting Silva. The blinking light gone, the heat prevalent, and despite desperately pushing the power button repeatedly, Silva knew she wouldn't get those reassuring words she needed to hear. Not now. Nor ever again.
Silva's shoulders slumped, still sat down on the old wooden floor in the decrepit corpse of her home. The home she had taken care of for almost a decade. Even after her hermana's death, despite the ache for her visits. Even after Persephone's passing, though the yearning for her hija's laughter echoing in the halls hurt more and more with their absence.
And now... her residence, her home, was nothing more than a burned and decrepit husk full of dust and debris. All the memories that mattered, all the memories she held close to her, the journals, the photos, the shrines they rested under, were all tattered and ripped and frayed and singed and gone. Just gone.
And now... with exception to Silva's own visage of Elsa... the last thing of her hermana that she could have shown to her familia, could no longer function. The Collapse had reduced the resources required to charge such a small device to ash. Even if something survived, the camcorder was aged, and had some bugs.
Silva flipped the lid screen closed, clutching the little camcorder in her gloved hands, pushing it against her chest as she let out a shaky breath. The foliage that claimed her house rustled as a breeze swept past.
She shook where she sat, holding onto the pain, the knowledge that change has come and another chance away from her before she could appreciate it.
The wood creaked, and Silva didn't want to look at her amor's beautiful face, didn't want to shoulder her with more of her own pain and grief. But a dainty hand cupped her face, and Silva couldn't resist, relenting to her beloved's request.
Her tearful grey eyes connected with the warm green of Faith's. Her beloved, her esposa, her amor. Her Faith.
I am hers. And she is mine. As we both vowed.
And Silva wouldn't hide herself away from her. Couldn't. Even if she tried. How could she? They both knew the best and worst of each other. Intimately.
There was no judgement pitting them against one another anymore. Like now, there was only understanding. The grief for a present that they could no longer return to.
Silva did not resist the tears that fell across her cheeks. Nor did she push away Faith when she wrapped her arms around her. An embrace that held a strength that others underestimated about her. Both possessive and a comfort. All to tell Silva, I'm here.
Silva felt two more pairs of arms hold around her. The first was of her inventive Azriel, her grip unyielding as she buried herself into Silva's shoulder, just like she had done when she found her at age nine.
And the second came from her youngest. Her Mercy, clutching onto her with small hands, light-brown hair nuzzling into her body, perhaps not quite knowing why her madre was sad now that they were out of the bunker, but doing her best to lighten the load with her presence.
Silva placed down the old camcorder, and did her best to compensate in the embrace by wrapping her arms around her Faith and precious hijas. Her familia.
The grief was ever present, but this time, Silva would not be lost to it.
[A/n] I lied, the fluff was merely a front, there's only angst here. Well, mostly at least. Set before Old Dusk (the New Dawn WIP), with only a camcorder showing pre-Silva's Hope stuff. They probably only recently left Silva's bunker and well, Silva's obviously gonna be depressed about the state of everything. At least she has her family to keep her grounded? Also I haven't written in a while, so if it was repetitive or tone death, my bad, I've been trying to get my motivation back. Anywho, hope you enjoyed this lovely (and angsty) oneshot, and see y'all in the next one!

ââ
October 1989
âOh, honey, come here.â Robin pulls you into a tight hug, letting you sob and snot into her shoulder. Itâs three in the morning, and youâve been drinking yourself into a stupor. You left Eddie a week ago, and havenât been able to breathe right since. Seeing the video for The Crawl on MTV this morning sent you into a dizzying depression, remembering the days when Eddie would sit at the kitchen table trying to put the chords together. You wished you were with him, on tour, greeting him with kisses after every set. But he left for tour yesterday without telling you, and you only found out when Dustin asked why you werenât with him. You hadnât had the heart to tell him youâd broken up with him, so Steve had to break the news.
âI just donât get it. Why didnât he try harder? Why didnât he fight for us?â You weep into the fabric of Robinâs shirt as she rubs your back in soothing circles.
âI donât know, love, but heâs a fucking idiot.â
Present day
Your POV
Your issue of SPIN comes out today, and your heart is slamming in your chest in line to check out. In your hands is a copy of the magazine, a picture of Corroded Coffin plastered across the cover. Eddieâs eyes seem to glare even from the glossy paper, his arms crossed over his bare chest while the rest of his bandmates stand behind him, looking equally stoic. In the top corner of the page reads, Femme Punk Takeover: An Interview with Death Dance Approximately. You read the words over and over, refusing to spoil the spread for yourself until youâre alone and safe to scream with your friends about it.
Once you exit the store, magazine clutched in your hand, you speed walk back to the hotel youâre staying in. Today is your off day, but tomorrow you play a show on the one and only Las Vegas Strip. Your plans include celebrating the magazine spread by drinking yourselves silly.
Back in your hotel room, you kick your shoes off and fling yourself onto the bed. Robinâs out shopping with Steve, and Sylvie and Lilith are getting lunch, so you have the afternoon to yourself. Instead of diving right into your own spread, you curiously turn the pages until you find the Corroded Coffin interview. It spans four full pages, including photographs and quotes in bold, big lettering. You swear to yourself youâll only skim, but that promise is quickly broken when you read the first sentence.
Kings of Rock, Corroded Coffin, sit uncomfortably in their folding director-esque chairs, as if sitting for an interview is the least punk thing they could be doing. Their frontman fidgets with his gleaming silver rings, his lips pressed together in concentration or annoyance.
Jessie Stevens: So, on your new album Freak Show, thereâs a song titled Sweetheart. Itâs far different from the rest of the tracks, a calming break before the climax of Severed Thumb and Wiped Clean. What influenced this mood change?
Eddie Munson: Sweetheart is about someone that was once very close to me. Itâs about love and loss, and a whole shit ton of heartbreak, and the one person that never made me feel like, the freak, yâknow?
J: Do you still talk to this person?
The frontmanâs face falls a little, like heâs reminded of something upsetting.
E: Itâs⊠complicated.
You roll your eyes. Itâs not complicated, the answer is a firm no. You and Eddie donât talk, not more than youâre forced to. You continue scanning the article, until you find something else that catches your eye.
J: Youâre currently touring with Death Dance Approximately, who are quickly moving up in the world of rock. What advice would you give them as seasoned rockstars?
Munson pauses, looking at his bandmates with a question in his eyes.
E: I guess Iâd tell them never to let go of themselves. I lost myself for a while, honestly Iâm still pretty lost. The industry is brutal, it takes so much of your soul away from you, and if I could go back and tell myself one thing, it would be not to let go of who I was. I miss that person.
You read Eddieâs answer, over and over, your eyes stinging. You miss who Eddie was, before signing, before giving in to fame and attention the way he has. Desperately, you want to believe that sweet boy is still in there somewhere. You think he is, after the events of last night, but youâre not sure how to yank him out of the steel shell heâs built around himself.
Further down, one more thing catches your attention.
J: Do you wish youâd done anything differently? Whether it be in your career, or in your life outside of it?
E: I wish I fought harder for my people. I lost someone I loved so much. I let them walk out of my life without any objection. I wish so badly that I couldâve made them stay, but⊠It was too late. Iâll never know now. Iâll never get to fix it.
Munsonâs bandmates look to each other knowingly, clearly aware that the mysterious person he speaks of is the reason for his sour mood.
âAre you fucking kidding me?â Itâs barely a whisper, despite no one being in the room with you. All he had to do was ask, and youâd tell him everything. Why you left, what wouldâve made you stay, but heâd rather tell the whole world he fucked up than just apologize to you.
â
Eddieâs POV
His copy of SPIN lay open in his lap as he reads the Death Dance interview. His bandmates are god knows where, enjoying their day off while Eddie mopes in his hotel room.
J: How do you guys feel about touring with one of the biggest names in rock?
Eddie rolls his eyes at the question, knowing you probably hated hearing his band brought up in your interview.
Y: I mean, we knew them growing up. Itâs really cool to see them all again, and weâre honored to tour with them.
Eddieâs surprised youâd even mention knowing him at this point, it makes his heart beat a little faster.
J: You know Corroded Coffin?
Y: Yeah! I moved to Hawkins my senior year, where I met Robin, and they were all seniors. We played DnD together, made music together. We lost touch after high school, but the world is so small.
J: Is that what Indiana is about?
Y: In some respects, yeah. Indiana was a huge change from where I grew up in Boston, a much smaller, more conservative place for sure.
Eddie puts the magazine down, and reaches for his CD player. He skips to track 5, and closes his eyes as the guitars wail in his ears. He only knows parts of the song, from hearing it live when he can stomach watching your set, but somehow it feels like listening for the first time.
Iâm from a city where no one knows each other / where we walk down streets avoiding eyes and shoving by / and when I moved to Indiana, I began to understand why / I wasnât meant for smaller towns, where everyone knows my name, / but you had been there, my saving grace, / and now I miss the comfort. / I miss the sounds of singing birds, and the crackle of a fire. / I moved back to the city, and though itâs pretty, / itâs no longer what I know. / Indiana wasnât home, but I found my home there / In the warmth of your eyes and the smell of your hair / I let myself believe I could make my life here / and when I lost you, I lost everything. / Indiana wasnât home, but I found my home there. Indiana wasnât home, and I lost my home there.
He plays the song four times before he can bring himself to breathe right again. Eddie can hear your heart breaking through your voice, the way it cracks on the chorus, the way you belt the final verse. All at once, he understands why you left, why you felt you had no choice. He was drowning in the pressure of being famous, leaving you behind to watch him from the shadows.
â
Your POV
You finally throw the magazine down, and rush to shower and get ready to go out. Tonight is your night off, a night to relax and not think about the boy across the hall. Itâs easier said than done, though, as your mind keeps wandering to that final paragraph. Iâll never know now. Iâll never get to fix it. All he had to do was ask. Youâd tell him everything; why you left, what could have gotten you to stay. But heâs been so cold, so distant with you, and you canât really blame him. Itâs just as difficult for you to be on tour with him, but youâre still trying to be mature about it.
Your spiral is disturbed by a knock on your door. You clip your earrings in and rush to answer it, smoothing your shirt to make sure youâre presentable. You open the door to Robin and Steve, their arms linked together like best friends on the playground. Both of them are dressed up, Steve in a button down and black slacks, Robin in sequined overalls that scream Vegas! They greet you with gleaming smiles, and you move aside to let them in.
âIâm almost ready! Any idea where weâre going?â You ask them both before pulling your lipstick out of your bag.
âWeâre taking the strip by storm! Itâs a group outing, everyoneâs coming!â Robin claps her hands together
âEveryone?â You quirk an eyebrow, looking at her in the mirror.
She bites her lip and glances at Steve, who only shrugs. âYeah, Gareth and Jeff overheard us planning, and we figured some bonding was in order. But donât worry! We can separate when we get there.â
You smack your lips together and shrug. âItâs not me you have to worry about.â You turn to face them, extending your arms to present your glammed up self. âHow do I look?â
âLike youâre gonna rip Eddieâs soul out of his bodâ Ow!â Steve rubs where Robin has elbowed his arm. âYou look beautiful.â He recovers, and you stick your tongue out at him.
âLetâs get goinâ then!â Robin heaves herself off the bed, and you hold the door for her and Steve, following them out the door.
â
The casinos are the most insane thing youâve ever experienced. The bright lights almost blind you, and the sounds of slot machines are so loud you canât hear yourself think. Itâs no wonder no one wins these things, itâs impossible to concentrate.
âCâmon!â Sylvie grabs hold of your wrist, leading you and your bandmates to the blackjack table. You glance behind you, sending a help me look to Steve, who shrugs in defeat as he follows Eddie and Jeff to the bar.
âRobin, I donât know how to play!â You object, but sheâs already sitting in a free stool by the dealer.
âNo worries, babe, this is all on me. I just want you all to watch me win!â Sheâs buzzed, having gulped her champagne down in the car on the way here. You giggle at her confidence, knowing damn well she also has no idea how to gamble.
âWhatever you do, donât bet our royalties.â Lilith nudges her, hiccuping on her own bubbly.
âYeah, yeah. Hit me!â She slaps the table, and the dealer smirks like he knows heâs about to watch Robin lose all of her disposable income.
â
Eddieâs POV
âWhiskey, neat.â He orders his drink, flopping down on an empty stool. Steve sits next to him, while Jeff orders drinks for himself and Gareth. âCome hang out, man!â Jeff calls when he receives his drinks, already walking to the table his bandmates sit at with yours. Eddie nods a response, nursing his drink.
âYou gotta at least try to enjoy yourself tonight.â Steve says, taking a sip of what looks like fruit punch.
âI am enjoying myself, Stevenâ Eddie holds up his whiskey, as if to prove the point. Steve glares at him, and Eddie takes a swig. âWhat?â
âYouâre moping! Youâre a famous rockstar on a cross country tour, and youâre moping. Had I known you were gonna be a drama queen this whole time I wouldâve brought a goddamn book to read.â
Eddie groans, taking another sip. âI know, I know. Iâm miserable.â
âYou need to talk to them.â Steve says bluntly, not looking at Eddie.
âWhy would I do that?â
âI know you want to.â
âI do not!â
Steve snorts, and Eddie presses his lips together in annoyance. âYou read that interview, right?â Eddie nods. âSo you know they talk about you now. Youâre on their mind. You listen to the song they mentioned?â He nods again. âSo you still care about what they have to say. Whatâs stopping you? Why are you so fucking scared?â
Eddie turns in his chair, back to where your band sits at the table, anxiously watching as Robin plays another round. Your face is pink, caused by the alcohol or the warmth of the building. Your shirt hugs your frame tightly, accentuating your features. You lift a glass of champagne to your lips, pinky extended, leaving a smear of red lipstick on the rim of the glass. Your eyes sparkle with excitement as your friends cheer Robin on. You have a happy glow to you, and it takes everything inside of Eddie to rip his eyes away. âWhatâs stopping me is the fact that they deserve better.â Eddie grumbles, gulping the rest of his liquor down and calling the bartender over. âI donât want to ruin this for them. Iâm already here, and that canât be easy. I want them to enjoy this experience, I donât want to intrude on it.â
âSo, what, youâre just gonna drink yourself to death every time we have an outing? You think that isnât causing them any distress? Your liver is gonna deteriorate soon, man. May wanna figure out a different strategy.â
âWill you get off my ass about drinking, Harrington? Itâs rich, coming from the kid that shotgunned like sixty beers a week his freshman year of high school.â
Steve chuckles, and Eddie canât hide the grin creeping onto his face. âFair enough. But that was high school. I didnât have a billion fans relying on me not to die of alcohol poisoning.â
âNah, just the six hundred Hawkins High students. Big whoop!â Eddie emphasizes his point with a show of jazz hands. âEither way. If Iâm gonna talk to them, Iâm gonna be drunk when I do it.â Eddie gulps down his second drink in one go, feeling the effects of the alcohol starting to kick in.
âWhatever, dude. You wanna go play some cards?â Steve offers his hand, and Eddie takes it begrudgingly, yanking himself away from the bar and into the mass of the crowded casino. Heâs forced to squeeze by you, apologizing under his breath as he brushes against your back, sidestepping between the tables. You donât seem to notice. He takes his place next to Gareth, and Steve stands firmly between him and you, a bridge neither of you dare to cross. Eddie feels your eyes on him, and it takes everything inside of him not to look back. Instead, heâs dealt into the next hand, planning only to play one round as a distraction from your presence. The waiter drops off another round of drinks, and Eddie slaps his palm on the table. âDeal me in.â
â
âOkay, thatâs enough!â Steve yanks on an objecting Eddieâs arm, hauling him away from the table. Heâs already lost a good chunk of change, both at the table and to the expensive drinks heâs been gulping down. Despite his objections, Steve manages to drag Eddie out of the casino unscathed.
âHere,â Steve sticks a cigarette between Eddieâs lips and lights it for him. âSober up a little.â
Eddie plucks the lit stick from his mouth and exhales, the cool night air bathing his warm face.
âWhere,â Eddieâs eyes are glassy, his vision blurring as he takes in his surroundings.
âWeâre outside the casino. Waiting for the car.â Steve lights a cigarette for himself, inhaling as Eddie does the same.
âWhereâs Y/n?â He realizes suddenly that he hasnât seen you in hours.
âBack at the hotel. They left a while ago, but you didnât want to get up. Sometime around your fourth hand, when you accused the dealer of cheating.â Eddie looks down at his feet, seeing four of them, and hums in response. âThey told me to make sure I get you home safe.â
He looks back up to his friend, cautiously optimistic. âThey said that?â
Steve nods, a smirk on his face. âTold me theyâd kick my ass if anything happened to you. So Iâm keeping my promise.â The car pulls up, and Steve opens the door for Eddie. âCâmon, in ya go.â
Eddie lets his eyes slip closed as the car starts moving, promising himself he wonât throw up on Steve. He thinks of all the ways he could possibly tell you heâs sorry, how he could start to mend the wounds heâs caused you. Heâs going to, he decides, as soon as he can manage to walk on his own.
â
Your POV
Thereâs a banging on your hotel room as youâre clawing your way out of your clothes. You pull your big t-shirt on, pause Breaking The Girl, and rush to answer it. Youâre expecting room service with some wine, or Steve with tomorrowâs game plan. âComing!â You call, finally opening the door, only to be greeted by Eddieâs wobbly figure. âOh. Hi.â You look at his nose as you speak, afraid of what would happen if your eyes were to meet his. His face is flushed from the drinking, his eyes glazed over and his hair frizzy.
âHi. Bad time?â He looks you up and down, causing your cheeks to warm despite your blood running cold. You realize now that the shirt youâre wearing is one that once belonged to him. âIâll, uh, go. I can um⊠Iâll come back later.â His speech is slurring, and you can smell the alcohol as he speaks.
âNo!â You say, too quickly. âItâs okay, Iâm just getting ready for bed. You wanna come in?â
Eddie hesitates, but you step aside to let him enter. He stumbles forward, placing himself gingerly in the chair across from the bed, where you sit across from him, acutely aware of your current pantsless state. âI read the interview.â Eddie starts, looking at the floor. You cross one leg over the other, waiting for him to continue. âAnd Iâve been listening to the album. Your album, I mean. Itâs great, by the way, really fucking great.â He wonât look at you, instead focused on fiddling with his rings. You donât respond, unsure where heâs going. âI came to say Iâm sorry.â
Your eyes widen. This was the furthest thing from what you were expecting. âFor what?â
Eddie slides further into the chair. âEverything. Iâve been such an asshole since the tour started. Especially to you. I wanna say I didnât mean it, but I did. I wanted to hurt you. Flirting with all those girls, playing that fuckinâ song in front of you. I meant all of it.â
You bite your lip, unsure of how to respond. You doubt Eddie will even remember this conversation tomorrow, so you refuse to let his words convince you of anything. You donât answer, just blink at him as he continues searching for the words to explain himself.
âI was trying to ignore it, I guess. How I felt about seeing you again. I was hiding it, and probably really poorly. I can't imagine itâs been easy for you, either, but you seem so happy. And itâs made me realize how horrible Iâve been.â He looks up from the floor then, his eyes searching yours for an answer. His face is flushed, his hair disheveled, and his lips are set in the pout that always got your heart stalling.
You clear your throat quickly, knowing it will crack under the pressure otherwise. âEddie, itâs not your fault. You didnât force this tour to happen. Itâs an unfortunate coincidence.â He winces at your words, and you rush to correct yourself. âI mean, we didnât know weâd see each other like this. We werenât prepared. The way youâve been acting, though hurtful, is completely understandable.â You want to cry. You want to throw Eddie out of your hotel room so you can sob into your pillow. But you donât move, and neither does he.
âWhyâd you leave?â He asks after a long moment of silence. âWhat happened to us?â
You know heâs drunk, and you shouldnât be indulging him, but youâve wanted to say so much to him since breaking it off, and youâre still a bit tipsy. âI was losing you. To groupies, to the label, to whatever you had become, and I didnât think it was fair to fight it. This is all youâve ever wanted, all we ever talked about when we were together. And you got it! The only thing you ever wanted. And I am beyond proud of you, Eddie. Who was I to pull you away from it? I couldnât hold you back from this, but I couldnât live in the background either. I couldnât make you choose between me and your dream, so I chose for you.â Your voice falters as you explain, eyes threatening to spill the tears they harbor. âYou deserve everything you ever want, Ed. I truly believe that.â You donât tell him you still wish he wanted you.
Eddie is less than graceful in his response. âI wouldâve chosen you. Over and over again, Y/n. I wish I hadnât made you feel like you were my backup, my plan B. I lost sight of us, I know that now.â You sigh, your heart breaking as he speaks. Years ago, itâs all you wanted to hear. But itâs too little, too late now. âIt got to my head, having you and getting signed. I felt like I could have it all. It got overwhelming, and I didnât realize what I was doing to you. You were right to leave, and Iâm so sorry it took me this long to figure it out. I blamed you for my misery when I caused all of it myself.â
You get up from the bed, and approach Eddie, kneeling beside the chair so heâs forced to look at you. âI appreciate the apology, Ed. I know you mean it. But I needed to leave for my own sake, too. I couldnât keep competing with you, with all of the attention you were getting. I needed to focus on my own dreams, and I couldnât convince you to root for me the way I had for you. Now that Iâm here, Iâm glad it happened this way. I wouldnât have gotten here any other way.â You rest your hand on his knee, and you feel a drop fall from his cheek onto your finger. âYouâll always be special to me. I need you to know that.â
Eddie nods, sniffling. You stand up and offer him your hand. He takes it hesitantly, and you feel the familiarity of his calloused fingers entwined with yours. You canât bring yourself to let go as he gets to his feet, missing the way his skin feels on yours. âLetâs get you back to bed, yeah?â You lead him out of your room and down the hall. âYou got your key?â
Eddie clumsily pats his many pockets before finding his key card in his vest. He swipes it, and you pull him into the messy room, the bed unmade, empty beer bottles lining the nightstand and entertainment center. Eddie collapses onto the bed, and you get to work yanking his shoes off the way you used to after a long night out. Heâs still in his jeans, but you donât make a move to take them off. Heâs not yours to take care of anymore, and if he wakes up uncomfortable, itâs not your problem. âOkay. Goodnight, Eddie.â Youâre about to leave when you hear him whisper something. âWhat was that?â You donât want to believe what you think you heard, but he says it again, clearer this time. âIâd still choose you.â You press your lips together, stifling your sobs as you close the door behind you. You canât bring yourself to believe him.

OPĂRATION : #NoBoobsAnymore
AndrĂ©e mâaccompagne ce matin pour mon opĂ©ration. Jâai rdv Ă 9h Ă Beauregard au 3e Ă©tage â BĂątiment 1 avec Sylvie. On la cherche, en vain, elle nâest pas lĂ . On est trĂšs en avance, on tourne un peu en rond.
Deux gentilles infirmiĂšres nous accueillent. Jâenfile ma culotte mĂ©dicale, mes bas de contention et une blouse. On attend un moment, 3 heures en fait. Et je dĂ©teste attendre. Tellement que ma tension Ă lâĂ©paule revient alors quâelle sâĂ©tait apaisĂ©e quelques jours avant mon opĂ©ration. Jâai mal. Quand je stresse, jâaime bien ranger. Jâaime que tout soit en ordre. Pour mâoccuper lâesprit et avoir un semblant de contrĂŽle.
Ma chambre 308 est belle et grande. Câest une chambre solo. Jâai une vue sur lâarriĂšre de lâhĂŽpital Beauregard. Des arbres, des baraques stylĂ©s, un peu de passage, des ouvriers qui escaladent le portail du parking de temps en temps. Je suis stressĂ©, mais je me sens bien dans cette chambre. Il y a surtout un grand soleil qui irradie ma chambre avec terrasse/balcon, je sais jamais faire la diffĂ©rence entre les deux. Le soleil sur ma peau me fait du bien. Ăa me rĂ©chauffe un peu. Tout comme la prĂ©sence dâAndrĂ©e. Elle stresse elle aussi. Il y a des moments de silence, jamais gĂȘnants. Jâai besoin quâelle parle pour me distraire donc je lui pose des questions. Pour faire passer le temps aussi. On est lĂ depuis un moment. Elle est trĂšs drĂŽle et je me sens mieux. Ă un moment, jâai envie de faire caca (depuis longtemps en fait) donc je lui demande dâaller fumer une clope. On rigole. On discute pendant 1 heure des modalitĂ©s de notre relation. ExclusivitĂ©. Polyamour. Ex du passĂ©. Amour Ă©teint. Engagement(s) futur(s). Confiance. Ou pas. Pas de dispute, on parle.
EnchaĂźnement trĂšs rapide. AndrĂ©e a faim et dĂ©cide dâaller sâacheter Ă manger et au mĂȘme moment le brancardier arrive avec un fauteuil pour mâemmener au bloc opĂ©ratoire. LĂ bas, je poirote encore. Mais bon quâest-ce que quelques minutes de plus face Ă toutes ces annĂ©es dâattente ? Je patiente. Le Chirurgien apparaĂźt et veut me checker, mais je capte et lui serre la main humblement. Ăa me gĂȘne quâil essaye ce genre de familiaritĂ© avec moi, mĂȘme si je lâaime bien. Il me demande comment ça va et si je suis prĂȘt. Je suis prĂȘt.
Je rencontre lâanesthĂ©siste. Pas le mĂȘme que celui de mon premier rdv, vacances oblige.
Au bloc, tout un « ballet chirurgical » se prĂ©pare. Jâobserve beaucoup, attentif Ă ce qui mâattend ou essayant dâanticiper, dâanalyser. Je regarde beaucoup lâhorloge dans la piĂšce, les instruments prĂ©sents, lâanesthĂ©siste qui prĂ©pare ma perfusion, le Dr qui dessine attentivement les zones Ă opĂ©rer sur mon torse, les allĂ©es et venues incessantes des infirmiĂšres. Jâessaye de tout scanner, de tout retenir. Câest un milieu inconnu, moi qui adore les routines et mes petites habitudes, ça me change et câest quand mĂȘme ma premiĂšre grosse opĂ©ration. Câest trĂšs diffĂ©rent de Greyâs Anatomy ou Nip/Tuck, mes rĂ©fĂ©rences sĂ©ries de circonstances. Je commence Ă avoir vraiment peur. Tellement que ma tension Ă lâĂ©paule revient encore plus intensĂ©ment. Les infirmiĂšres sont au petit soin, elles me demandent toutes comment je me sens et lâune dâelles me propose un long tuyau qui sert de chauffage, car il caille dans le bloc. Arrive le moment que jâattends le plus, lâanesthĂ©sie. Je mâendors trĂšs rapidement, moins de 10 secondes. Je ne vois rien passer, ni lâopĂ©ration, ni le temps. Ă un moment, jâentends juste quâon mâappelle et quâon me demande si ça va. Câest fini. Je suis encore droguĂ© de lâanesthĂ©sie et jâai trĂšs mal.
Je dois retourner dans ma chambre et la personne qui vient me chercher me demande pourquoi je me faisais opĂ©rer « une torsoplastie masculinisante ». Je sens que je suis entre de bonnes mains dĂšs le dĂ©part et je me demande si câest aussi une personne trans comme moi. ArrivĂ©e dans ma chambre, elle mâavoue que câest le cas et quâelle aussi entame son parcours de transition. Je suis heureux pour elle et pour moi. Elle discute en dehors de ma chambre avec AndrĂ©e. Elle revient fiĂšrement mâannoncer que oui, câest une meuf trans. Ce sont des petits dĂ©tails comme ça I guess. Peut-ĂȘtre que câest un pur hasard, mais jâai envie de croire quâils mâont accordĂ© autant dâattention. On mâavait prĂ©venu que jâĂ©tais la premiĂšre personne trans Ă avoir cette opĂ©ration Ă Beauregard, câest trĂšs symbolique que ce soit elle qui me raccompagne sain et sauf dans ma chambre.
Je suis affamĂ© et Ă 2 doigts de tomber dans les pommes, je dois attendre 2 heures pour manger aprĂšs lâopĂ©ration. Quand je peux, câest AndrĂ©e qui me nourrit Ă la cuillĂšre. Câest un de mes moments prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s de la journĂ©e. Je me sens fort et trĂšs vulnĂ©rable Ă cet instant prĂ©cis. Elle y met beaucoup dâattention, se trompe de cadence parfois et au fil des bouchĂ©es, je reprends vie. Ăa fait Ă©normĂ©ment de bien aprĂšs une longue journĂ©e Ă jeun. Elle me fait tellement rire et jâai tellement mal en mĂȘme temps, mais ça me fait du bien de me sentir vivant. Je prĂ©viens ma mĂšre, ma niĂšce et Liam dĂšs que je peux. Tout va bien. 20 h approchent et AndrĂ©e doit y aller. Demain elle sera lĂ Ă 12 h, heure des ouvertures des visites. Elle mâembrasse sur le front et la joue. Je lui demande un bisou sur la bouche et je sais que je vais pouvoir mieux passer la nuit.
La nuit :
Il doit ĂȘtre 4 heures. Je ne sais pas trop, car mon tĂ©lĂ©phone est en charge Ă cotĂ© et impossible de le reach out. Jâai trĂšs mal. Surtout quand je me dois lever pour faire pipi avec les drains de Redon et ma perfusion qui traĂźnent Ă mes cĂŽtĂ©s. Le moindre mouvement est un supplice. Câest comme si on me bastonnait la poitrine de coup-de-poing et de coup de pied en CONTINU. Jâai mal. Mes bas de contention me font mal aussi, jâai dĂ» les enlever. SatanĂ© bas de contention. Je mâennuie alors jâĂ©cris. Et je pense Ă comment jâen suis arrivĂ© lĂ .
Dehors, le mistral fait danser les arbres, ils bougent dans tous les sens. Câest trĂšs beau Ă regarder, jây passerais des heures, mais je suis trop fatiguĂ©.

Chapitre 02 : Cindy
- Quâest-ce que tu fais papa ?
Antonin. Mon fils unique, huit ans, curieux de tout. Il mâa fait peur. Je ne lâai pas entendu.
- Je rĂ©pare le dĂ©tecteur de fumĂ©e, tu vois bienâŠ
Je dĂ©croche le boitier, je lui montre, beaucoup de fils dedans, circuit imprimĂ©, il nây comprend rien, dedans un systĂšme intĂ©grer de camĂ©ra vidĂ©o, invisible, un gadget achetĂ© en Belgique sur un site internet dâĂ©lectronique. IngĂ©nieux, mais ne disposant que dâune autonomie rĂ©duite, faut souvent changer les piles.
- Tu bricoles bien papa, quâil fait fier de moi. Je le remercie dâun sourire, il retourne jouer plus loin, court dans le couloir, sâimagine tout un tas de scĂ©nario.
Mon petit bout de gamin.
Je contrĂŽle une derniĂšre fois la camĂ©ra, la batterie, le signal semble fonctionner, je peux vĂ©rifier avec mon smartphone, le nec plus ultra, le truc de fou, une application disponible sur plusieurs supports, ce truc sert normalement Ă protïżœïżœger les maisons. Câest ce que dit le site. On. Connexion en court, le systĂšme recherche le Wifi, se connecte facilement, lance un protocole, je reçois un message, le dispositif est connectĂ©, je peux mĂȘme le rĂ©gler via le bluetooth. Le temps de repositionner le bloc, de le clipser dans la base. Je dĂ©pose mon tĂ©lĂ©phone.
Antonin me regarde. Pour lui je suis un gĂ©nie, un gĂ©ant, son papa bricolo, son papa chef de lâhĂŽtel, son papa merveilleuxâŠ
- Tu veux mâaider ? je lui demande.
Il sursaute acquiesce.
- Donne moi le tourne vis.
Il le trouve de suite, Il est intelligent, comprend vite, il adore venir mâaider, mĂȘme Ă faire le mĂ©nage des chambres, faire le petit dĂ©jeuner, il est toujours prĂȘt.
- Un jour, je serai comme toi mon papa ! bricoleur !
- Câest bien Antonin.
Je dois serrer une des vis, le bloc ballote. A force dâĂȘtre dĂ©montĂ© et remonté⊠A bout de bras, jâenfonce la tĂȘte, peine Ă garder lâĂ©quilibre, je suis sur la pointe des pieds sur une chaise, ce nâest pas la meilleure des postures.
Câest bon ! Clac ! Le tout est enfoncĂ©. Parfait ! impossible de voir lâobjectif.
Papa câest qui la dame ?
Antonin les mains sur mon tĂ©lĂ©phone, il voit cette fille dâhier. Cindy. Je lui arrache le tĂ©lĂ©phone, le gosse ne comprend pas. Touche pas ! je beugle, touche pas ! je manque le frapper, il en tombe Ă la renverse. Son visage figĂ©. Ses yeux exorbitĂ©s, effrayĂ©s, jâai mĂȘme manquĂ© lui foutre une volĂ©. Quâune grosse larme le long de son, visage.
Fou, jâĂ©tais comme dingue. JâaiâŠ
Pardon.
Lui nâa pas compris ma rĂ©action, moi non plus dâailleurs.
Pardon AntoninâŠ.
Jâai pas de mot, mon gamin qui pleure, qui sait pas quoi penser, il a fait une bĂȘtise, il veut peut-ĂȘtre mĂȘme le dire Ă maman, Ă Sylvie. Non ! Je vais pour mâapprocher le serrer dans mes bras, il a encore plus peur, il croit que je vais le taper.
Mais non⊠Mon amour⊠Je suis dĂ©solĂ©, je suis dĂ©solé⊠Jâai le tĂ©lĂ©phone en main, cette image encore. Câest de la publicitĂ©, jâexplique, de la publicité⊠jâai eu peurâŠ
- Peur de quoi ? demande Antonin.
Je sais pas quoi rĂ©pondre, jâai eu peur⊠Je dis, puis je lâembrasse, le serre fort dans mes bras, fort.

Jâai Pas TuĂ©, Jâai Pas VolĂ© ! 16/03/2024
Tous ont péché et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu. Romains 3.23
Quand on regarde sa vie, on pense parfois quâon a fait des bĂȘtises pas si grosses que ça. Que Dieu nous pardonnera facilement. Lâautre par contre, celui qui a tuĂ©, celui qui a volĂ©, celui qui a trahi⊠câest un vrai mĂ©chant. Il ira en enfer, câest sĂ»r.
Quand je vois une tache sur le tee-shirt prĂ©fĂ©rĂ© de mon enfant, je le lave. Petite tache ou grosse tache, câest pareil : ouste, dans le lave-linge ! Et lâenfant aura beau plaider la cause de son cher tee-shirt, je ne le laisserai pas mettre un habit sale.
Pour nos fautes, câest pareil. Ce nâest pas en nous comparant aux autres que nous serons pardonnĂ©s ! Ce nâest pas en regardant la taille de nos fautes ou leur nombre que nous pouvons avoir la certitude de notre salut. Câest Dieu qui dĂ©cide. Et il nâaccepte aucune tache.
Mais il nous propose un bon moyen pour nous rendre propre. Dans sa bonté, Dieu nous rend juste gratuitement par Jésus-Christ qui nous libÚre du péché.
Lisez cela dans la lecture conseillée. Et acceptez de passer à la lessive !
Sylvie Dugand
__________________ Lecture proposée : Lettre aux Romains 3:22-26
22 justice de Dieu par la foi en JĂ©sus Christ pour tous ceux qui croient. Il n'y a point de distinction.
23 Car tous ont péché et sont privés de la gloire de Dieu;
24 et ils sont gratuitement justifiés par sa grùce, par le moyen de la rédemption qui est en Jésus Christ.
25 C'est lui que Dieu a destinĂ©, par son sang, Ă ĂȘtre, pour ceux qui croiraient victime propitiatoire, afin de montrer sa justice, parce qu'il avait laissĂ© impunis les pĂ©chĂ©s commis auparavant, au temps de sa patience, afin, dis-je,
26 de montrer sa justice dans le temps prĂ©sent, de maniĂšre Ă ĂȘtre juste tout en justifiant celui qui a la foi en JĂ©sus.

La puissance de Dieu se manifeste dans de petites choses comme dans les grandes.
Alors que nous avons priĂ© pour les chrĂ©tiens blessĂ©s, jâai reçu de nombreux tĂ©moignages de reconnaissance comme celui de Sylvie : « Merci pour vos messages de chaque jour, merci de penser Ă tous et Ă chacun. Je suis bien souvent touchĂ©e par les sujets de priĂšre. Ils correspondent bien souvent Ă quelque chose Ă rĂ©parer ou Ă consolider en moi. Ă un moment de ma vie de chrĂ©tienne, j'ai traversĂ© une "grosse tempĂȘte" : un divorce ! Jâai pensĂ© que DIEU me lĂąchait, câĂ©tait comme si "le ciel m'Ă©tait tombĂ© sur la tĂȘte". Lâabsence dâaccompagnement de lâĂglise mâa blessĂ©e. Mais plus tard, le Seigneur est revenu me chercher, et m'a restaurĂ©e. J'ai pu pardonner Ă ceux qui autrefois, ne savaient probablement pas comment faire (on ne parlait pas de ce sujet). Je remercie le Seigneur dâavoir enlevĂ© de mon cĆur les racines dâamertume. Merci au Seigneur qui nous parle et nous reprend, qui nous restaure et nous fait progresser, soit par un message, une lecture dans la Bible, une prĂ©dication, des circonstances... Ce sont autant de gouttes dâeau, savamment distribuĂ©es les unes aprĂšs les autres...et qui nous restaurent au bon moment, comme la priĂšre de ce jour. »
De son cĂŽtĂ© Manon, comme beaucoup dâautres, a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©confortĂ©e par la priĂšre en faveur de ceux qui traversent la solitude. Elle Ă©crit : « Merci pour cette priĂšre et votre cĆur sensible Ă nos besoins. AprĂšs avoir traversĂ© cette vallĂ©e de deuil, de larmes et dâisolement, aujourdâhui, Dieu me montre un chemin tout tracĂ© pour en sortir. Je reprends la route, forte du sentiment que JĂ©sus se tient Ă mes cĂŽtĂ©s, prĂȘt Ă me donner grĂące sur grĂące. FrĂšres et sĆurs, soyez encouragĂ©s, ne dĂ©sespĂ©rez pas car Dieu voit nos larmes, et il entend nos priĂšres. »
Melli a vĂ©cu un exaucement spĂ©cial, suite Ă cette priĂšre. Voici ce quâelle partage : « Hier, je me suis rĂ©veillĂ©e triste. Je suis seule, et cela me pĂšse parfois. Jâai pleurĂ© et criĂ© Ă Dieu afin quâil me console.
Câest lĂ que jâai dĂ©couvert le sujet dâUPCJ pour les personnes qui souffrent de solitude. Gloire Ă Dieu ! Il entend et rĂ©pond aux priĂšres ! Dans le mail, il est demandĂ© Ă Dieu que ces personnes qui souffrent de solitude reçoivent un appel de quelquâun, et ce fut mon cas ! Un ami qui mâavait blessĂ©e a appelĂ© pour me demander pardon ! Dieu restaure ! Dieu bĂ©nit ! Dieu est Amour ! Dieu est un bon Papa ! Gloire Ă Dieu ! Merci pour votre ministĂšre. Que Dieu vous bĂ©nisse ! »
Rendons grùce à Dieu pour sa souveraineté, pour sa toute-puissance se manifestant de maniÚre précise dans tous nos besoins.
Dieu est grand : louons-le, tous ensemble !
Avec amour,
Paul

DĂ©pendante
La grosse boule que jâai dans le ventre, ressemble Ă une pierre dâobsidienne. Jâai presque besoin de dĂ©faire mon short, tellement mon abdomen est tendu sous sa pression. Jâai du mal Ă respirer. Je lis le livre de Sylvie Tennembaum sur la dĂ©pendance affective, maladie dont, visiblement, je souffre. Tout ce quâelle raconte dans ce livre parle de ce que je vis, et du trou dans lequel je plonge les yeux tous les jours, sans en manquer un seul, sauf quand je pars ailleurs, en vacances avec des gens, jâen viens mĂȘme Ă prĂ©fĂ©rer partir avec ma famille plutĂŽt que dâaffronter ce vide-lĂ , tous les jours dans mon appartement, alors quâelle finit toujours par me jeter au fond du mĂȘme trou.
Cette terreur, cette terreur sourde du nĂ©ant, elle sonne sa cloche Ă 16h30 tapante et ne sâen ira pas jusquâaux alentours de 20h. Câest du moins lâhypothĂšse que jâen fais, car chaque jour je bats en retraite. Sylvie Tennenbaum dit que câest la terreur de la solitude. Que jâai besoin dâexister dans les yeux des autres. Que je ne vis que pour plaire, car je sais rĂ©pondre aux besoins des autres en refoulant depuis toujours mes besoins et mes dĂ©sirs. Que la seule chose qui compte, câest que les autres me donnent de lâamour et quelque validation de ma valeur. Que je suis une addict.
Ă cause de cette maladie (si tant est quâon puisse appeler cela ainsi), jâai chaque jour le sentiment que je ne viendrai pas Ă bout de mes projets, parce que je ne viendrai pas Ă bout de cette journĂ©e oĂč je me tiens seule. Car tous mes faits et gestes sont minĂ©s par cette trouille. Je perds un temps fou, et mon ventre se change en pierre. Le beau temps quâil fait dehors me charge dâangoisse au lieu de recharger mes batteries, tout comme les livres pas ouverts me regardent de travers, et cette soirĂ©e Ă peine commencĂ©e mâĂ©treint. Je suis incapable de me rendre compte de tout ce que jâai accompli aujourdâhui. Je continue Ă mâobsĂ©der du temps quâil reste Ă vivre en habitant cette Ă©motion-lĂ . Câest quoi le message ? Quâest-ce que je suis censĂ© en faire ? Oui oui, jâai compris, ça ne va pas. Comme tous les jours. Je reçois le message 5/5 que quelque chose ne va pas.
Jâai peur de ma faim, surtout, le soir, et de la façon dont je suis censĂ©e la combler. Jâai perdu les gestes simples, en compulsion et autre frĂ©nĂ©sies du comportement, que jâai pendant des annĂ©es attribuĂ©es Ă un bon gros manque de volontĂ©. Mais la vĂ©ritĂ©, câest quâĂ 16h30-17h mon cerveau vrille, et parfois je ne me souviens plus de ce que jâai fait ensuite. Je ne me souviens pas non plus de la derniĂšre fois que je me suis faite un dĂźner pour moi-mĂȘme. Ce soir jâai fait chauffer un hot-dog au micro-onde, et mon corps criait famine, et peur, et souffrance, dâhabitude on comble, on bourre, câest rapide et ça soulage, on ne s'en rend mĂȘme pas compte. Il est loin le repas bien mĂąchĂ© en pleine conscience. Ce soir jâai rĂ©sistĂ© mais je sais que demain je prendrai la fuite. Parfois je bois, souvent je bois. AnesthĂ©sier, pleurer tout ce quâon peut en passant, et se rĂ©veiller 4h plus tard, enfin soulagĂ©e, mais pleine de honte. Mais la bascule est intolĂ©rable. Câest une peur entiĂšre, complĂšte, totale. Ăa vous prend dans la gorge et ça se dĂ©ploie sans discontinuer. Socialement, je suis simplement une angoissĂ©e, une chouineuse, quelquâun dâimmature ou qui manque dâauto-discipline. Je suis en Ă©chec, et mon estime de moi-mĂȘme vous confirmera dans ce biais. JâĂ©cris pour passer le temps, en attendant quâelle passe, lâĂ©motion, en attendant quâelle dĂ©mĂ©nage et se lasse de moi. Demain peut-ĂȘtre que je reviendrai vous parler d'elle, car moi je ne peux pas m'en passer !

La sous-gouverneure de la Banque de France, Anne Le Lorier, part Ă la retraite et devrait profiter du maintien de son salaire pendant trois ans, soit prĂšs de 700 000 euros. Alors que la banque prĂŽne une politique dâaustĂ©ritĂ© envers les smicards ou les Ă©pargnants modestes.
« Faites ce que je dis ! Mais ne dites pas ce que je fais » : câest un dicton dĂ©testable qui ruine trop souvent la confiance que les citoyens accordent aux dirigeants politiques ou aux responsables des grandes institutions publiques. Il rĂ©sume assez bien lâhypocrisie de la Banque de France, qui est lâune des grandes institutions de la RĂ©publique.
Anne Le Lorier
Ă preuve, les dirigeants de la banque centrale française multiplient les recommandations dâaustĂ©ritĂ©Â : ils sont au premier rang du combat menĂ© par les nĂ©olibĂ©raux pour essayer de dĂ©manteler le salaire minimum, qui protĂšge les salariĂ©s les plus modestes ; ou recommandent une baisse du pouvoir dâachat des Ă©pargnants les plus modestes, ceux qui dĂ©tiennent un livret A. Mais dans le mĂȘme temps, la sous-gouverneure de la Banque de France, Anne Le Lorier, va partir Ă la retraite et devrait profiter dâun avantage exorbitant : le maintien de son salaire pendant trois ans.
Câest lâarticle L142-8 du code monĂ©taire et financier qui prĂ©voit, de trĂšs longue date, cette disposition pour le moins Ă©tonnante. Alors que depuis le virage de la « rigueur » des annĂ©es 1982-1983 tous les Français sont invitĂ©s Ă se serrer la ceinture, les dirigeants de la Banque de France profitent, eux, dâune disposition dâun autre Ăąge, qui leur permet de faire exception. « Le gouverneur et les sous-gouverneurs qui cessent leurs fonctions pour un motif autre que la rĂ©vocation pour faute grave continuent Ă recevoir leur traitement d'activitĂ© pendant trois ans. Au cours de cette pĂ©riode, ils ne peuvent, sauf accord du conseil gĂ©nĂ©ral, exercer d'activitĂ©s professionnelles, Ă l'exception de fonctions publiques Ă©lectives ou de fonctions de membre du gouvernement », dispose la loi.

Livret A: un tour de bonneteau au profit des banques Par Laurent Mauduit
En dĂ©but de semaine, nous avons donc cherchĂ© Ă savoir auprĂšs de la direction de la Banque de France si la sous-gouverneure Anne Le Lorier, qui a Ă©tĂ© remplacĂ©e dans des conditions controversĂ©es par Sylvie Goulard (notre article est ici), va profiter de cette disposition. Nous avons attendu plusieurs jours la rĂ©ponse, mais elle nâest pas venue. Tout juste le cabinet du gouverneur François Villeroy de Galhau nous a-t-il rappelĂ© que les rĂ©munĂ©rations des principaux responsables de la banque Ă©taient consignĂ©es dans son rapport annuel. Nous avons donc insistĂ© pour savoir si Anne Le Lorier, qui a longtemps Ă©tĂ© lâune des Ă©gĂ©ries du clan dâĂdouard Balladur, garderait son salaire, et nous avons juste obtenu par courriel cette fin de non-recevoir : « Nous nâaurons pas dâĂ©lĂ©ments complĂ©mentaires Ă vous apporter. »
Nous avons eu beau insister, faire valoir quâil sâagissait dâinformations dâintĂ©rĂȘt public ; que la transparence devrait ĂȘtre la rĂšgle quand il sâagit dâargent public⊠Peine perdue ! La Banque de France a gardĂ© le silence.
Par courriel, nous nous sommes donc retournĂ©s vers Anne Le Lorier, pour lui poser nos questions, lui faisant observer que le silence auquel nous nous heurtions, pour incomprĂ©hensible quâil soit, semblait suggĂ©rer quâelle allait profiter du maintien de son salaire pendant trois ans. Mais lĂ encore⊠motus et bouche cousue ! Nous nâavons pas plus pu obtenir de rĂ©ponse.
LâhypothĂšse la plus vraisemblable est donc quâAnne Le Lorier va bel et bien empocher ce parachute en or. Or, si câest le cas, il sâagit dâune somme trĂšs importante. Pour en prendre la mesure, il suffit effectivement de se reporter au dernier rapport annuel de la Banque de France, celui qui porte sur lâannĂ©e 2016, que lâon peut consulter ici. Ă la page 125, on peut y lire ceci : « Pour lâannĂ©e 2016, la rĂ©munĂ©ration brute totale du gouverneur a Ă©tĂ© de 283 129 euros. Celle des deux sous-gouverneurs a Ă©tĂ© de 223 255 euros. Ils ne bĂ©nĂ©ficient pas dâappartement de fonction ; ils perçoivent chacun une indemnitĂ© logement brute de 5 643 euros par mois, imposable. Ces dispositions sont rĂ©glĂ©es conformĂ©ment Ă lâarticle R142â19 du Code monĂ©taire et financier. »
On peut observer que les sous-gouverneurs profitent dâune rĂ©munĂ©ration importante, puisquâĂ une rĂ©munĂ©ration annuelle de 223 255 euros viennent sâajouter 67 716 euros sur lâensemble de lâannĂ©e au titre dâindemnitĂ© de logement, ce qui porte le total Ă 290 971 euros sur lâannĂ©e, soit 24 247 euros par mois. Ce qui ne correspond pas prĂ©cisĂ©ment Ă lâidĂ©e que lâon se fait de la rigueur⊠à croire quâil vaut mieux ĂȘtre sous-gouverneur que prĂ©sident de la RĂ©publique !
En consĂ©quence, si Anne Le Lorier profite du maintien de son salaire, elle empochera 223 255 euros annuels, et ce pendant trois ans, soit au total 669 765 euros. On peut mĂȘme supposer que le vrai chiffre sera beaucoup plus proche de 700 000 euros, puisque lâintĂ©ressĂ©e a sĂ»rement vu sa rĂ©munĂ©ration augmenter en 2017, mĂȘme si le rapport annuel correspondant nâest pas encore disponible.
On a donc de quoi ĂȘtre surpris, dâautant quâune autre question se pose : cette somme considĂ©rable se cumule-t-elle avec la retraite ? Nous avons aussi posĂ© la question, mais sur ce point-lĂ , aussi, nous nâavons pas plus pu obtenir de rĂ©ponse.
Au demeurant, le silence embarrassĂ© de la Banque de France sâexplique sans grande difficultĂ©. Car ses dirigeants ne cessent effectivement de multiplier les dĂ©clarations enflammĂ©es en faveur de lâaustĂ©ritĂ©, en de nombreux domaines.
Câest dâabord le salaire minimum qui est constamment dans le collimateur de la Banque de France. LâĂ©conomiste de lâinstitution, Gilbert Cette, mĂšne contre lui une vĂ©ritable croisade, depuis plus de dix ans. Multipliant les rapports sous Sarkozy, puis sous Hollande et maintenant sous Macron, il rĂ©pĂšte depuis des annĂ©es, comme sâil sâagissait pour lui dâune obsession, que le salaire minimum fait le lit du chĂŽmage (lire ici). Cela a beau ĂȘtre contestĂ© par de nombreux Ă©conomistes, il nâen continue pas moins sa campagne en faveur dâune remise en cause de cet acquis social majeur.
Et puis, en dehors des plaidoyers rituels de tous les gouverneurs de la Banque de France pour la modĂ©ration salariale, on pourrait encore citer la bataille, plus rĂ©cente, menĂ©e par François Villeroy de Galhau, en faveur de lâaustĂ©ritĂ© au dĂ©triment des Ă©pargnants modestes.
On se souvient en effet que le livret A dispose depuis le 1er aoĂ»t 2015 dâun taux de rĂ©munĂ©ration de 0,75 %, qui est historiquement le plus faible ayant jamais existĂ© depuis⊠1818, soit depuis deux siĂšcles trĂšs prĂ©cisĂ©ment. Or le gouverneur sâest engagĂ© en personne pour que ce taux ne reparte pas Ă la hausse. Il a donc dâabord lourdement pesĂ© pour que la formule dâindexation soit revue, de sorte qu'elle ne prĂ©voie plus un taux de rĂ©munĂ©ration au moins supĂ©rieur d'un quart de point Ă lâinflation ; puis, quand une nouvelle formule dâindexation, plus conforme Ă ses vĆux, a Ă©tĂ© mise au point, il a mĂȘme recommandĂ© quâelle ne soit pas mĂȘme⊠respectĂ©e, la jugeant encore trop favorable (voir notre article ici). François Villeroy de Galhau avait prĂ©tendu que lâinflation allait baisser en fin dâannĂ©e et quâil valait donc mieux que le livret A ne fasse pas le yoyo â ce qui ne s'est pas vĂ©rifiĂ©.
Câest ainsi que tout au long de lâannĂ©e 2017, le taux de rĂ©munĂ©ration du livret A est restĂ© gelĂ© Ă 0,75 %. Mais on sait maintenant que câĂ©tait un marchĂ© de dupes. La nouvelle formule dâindexation, trĂšs dĂ©favorable, a Ă©tĂ© violĂ©e dans le seul et unique but de rogner le pouvoir dâachat des Ă©pargnants modestes. DĂ©sormais, on peut mĂȘme chiffrer trĂšs prĂ©cisĂ©ment la perte de pouvoir dâachat subie par les dĂ©tenteurs du livret A Ă cause de ce tour de bonneteau organisĂ© par le gouverneur de la Banque de France.
Sur lâensemble de lâannĂ©e 2017, la hausse des prix (en glissement) a en effet atteint 1,2 % (les chiffres de lâInsee sont ici). Le calcul est donc simple Ă faire : un Ă©pargnant qui avait 100 euros sur son livret A a perdu 45 centimes dâeuros sur lâannĂ©e. Ce qui constitue une spoliation considĂ©rable. Par rapport Ă lâancienne rĂšgle dâindexation qui prĂ©voyait un taux de rĂ©munĂ©ration supĂ©rieur d'un quart de point Ă lâinflation, la spoliation pour 100 euros dâĂ©pargne est mĂȘme de 70 centimes dâeuros.
Pour comprendre lâimportance de ces chiffres, il suffit de se reporter aux derniĂšres statistiques de lâObservatoire de lâĂ©pargne rĂ©glementĂ©e. On y dĂ©couvre que le montant de lâĂ©pargne dite rĂ©glementĂ©e (et donc dĂ©fiscalisĂ©e) atteint 406 milliards dâeuros, dont 248,4 milliards pour le livret A ; 101,3 milliards pour le livret de dĂ©veloppement durable (LDD) et 44,9 milliards pour le livret dâĂ©pargne populaire (LEP).
De ces chiffres, on peut ainsi dĂ©duire que les Ă©pargnants ont Ă©tĂ© spoliĂ©s dâenviron 1,8 milliard dâeuros en 2017. Par rapport Ă une indexation supĂ©rieure dâun quart de point Ă lâinflation, la spoliation atteint mĂȘme 2,8 milliards dâeuros. La plus grosse partie de ces sommes a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©tournĂ©e au profit des banques privĂ©es.
Les recommandations du gouverneur de la Banque de France, entérinées par le gouvernement, qui voudrait maintenir le gel du livret A pendant deux ans, ont donc eu de trÚs lourdes conséquences pour les épargnants, et au premier chef les épargnants modestes.
Sans doute est-ce la raison pour laquelle la banque â qui dispose pourtant dâun service de presse important â ne souhaite rĂ©pondre Ă aucune question sur les rĂ©munĂ©rations versĂ©es Ă une sous-gouverneure. La DĂ©claration des droits de lâhomme a beau Ă©dicter en son article 14 un principe de transparence pour tout ce qui touche Ă lâargent public, la Banque de France prĂ©fĂšre jouer la grande muette. Et dire quâelle veille aux bonnes pratiques sur la place de ParisâŠ

1) J'aime beaucoup Vaimalama Chaves.
2) Sylvie Tellier est une grosse nouille. Quand une femme dénonce une remarque sexiste faite en public par un animateur en vue à une heure de grande écoute, la réaction saine n'est pas de morigéner la femme en question parce qu'elle a utilisé un mot d'argot dans sa réponse.
3) Les concours de beauté sont une insulte à l'intelligence.

EXTRAIT 39
Ray plongea le nez dans son café, il veut à tout prix éviter les questions de Kate concernant Simone, il sait qu'elle a un faible pour lui. Il en profite pour téléphoner au commissariat et donne l'ordre d'aller cueillir cette Sylvie.
Kate et Ginette ont préparé de vagues costumes pour la soirée.
Ray et Blotin se vĂȘtirent d'une espĂšce d'armure de plastique et de tissu blancs qu'elles ont barbouillĂ©es de taches vertes.
- C'est des des combinaisons de balayeur découpées et de vieux tissus.
- Ont est sensés ressemblés à quoi ?
- A des endives ou quelque chose comme ça !
Ils s'arment de bonnets et de lunettes noires.
Une trentaine de minutes suffirent pour arriver au chùteau. Il faut montrer patte blanche pour entrer dans cette soirée.
Ils présentent leur cartons d'invitation au service de sécurité.
Avec leurs tĂȘtes de naze, ils laissent passer les deux flics, les vigiles ne deparaillent pas avec la faune prĂ©sente.
La fĂȘte bat son plein, des cohortes de fruits , de lĂ©gumes dĂ©ambulent en titubant dĂ©jĂ .
La musique hurle , Ray glisse Ă l'oreille de son collĂšgue :
- Ouvre grand tes Ă©coutilles et tes yeux.
Blotin est d'accord, d'ailleurs il est toujours d'accord avec Ray
mais vu son état avancé il ferai se qu'il peut.
Néanmoins il se dirige non sans difficulté vers le buffet .
Ray le suit, ils boivent quelques verres de bon mezcal bien frappé.
Une grande banane interpelle Blotin en l'invitant à danser sur une musique endiablée.
A la voix Blotin Ă devine que c'est une femme.
Ray regarde son collÚgue danser, le costume de la femme est parfait, une espÚce de tissu de papier couleur jaune, par moment il peut distinguer son visage , elle ne fait rien pour le cacher, c'est comme cela qu'il reconnut sa toubib, grande toubib de la région.
Ray observer qu'elle est Ă poil dessous son emballage, prĂȘte Ă consommer.
Ray grignote des babioles au bar , il carbure toujours au mezcal, autour de lui les discussions vont bon train sur les massacres des nains.
Il prit part Ă quelques propos avec une grosse poire et oignon qui ne lui apprirent rien de nouveau.
Il repéré un radis et lance la conversation sur les nains, cet idiot lui balança que des conneries et des blagues graveleuses.

Alléluia
Vivre aujourd'hui
Alléluia
10 OCTOBRE 2020
Chantez la louange du Seigneur ! Notre Dieu nous sauve, Ă lui soient la gloire et la puissance. Apocalypse 19.1
Lors dâun match de foot, pour un but marquĂ©, on entend parfois les commentateurs ou les supporters sâĂ©crier : AllĂ©luia (prononcĂ© : allĂ©louya). Ou dans toutes sortes dâoccasions oĂč on rĂ©ussit une performance, exĂ©cute un exercice difficile avec succĂšs ou gagne une compĂ©tition. Câest devenu une expression Ă la mode, synonyme de « Hourra ! » ou « GagnĂ© ! » Parfois ça veut simplement dire : « Jâavais raison » ou bien « Ouf, jâai fini ! ». Enfin, ce sont surtout les jeunes qui crient ça⊠Mais dâautres, de tous Ăąges, disent allĂ©luia Ă bon escient, Ă lâĂ©glise, par exemple. On chante souvent allĂ©luia dans des cantiques de louange. On proclame allĂ©luia parce quâune priĂšre a Ă©tĂ© exaucĂ©e. En levant les bras au ciel, Ă©ventuellement. Et ces gens ont raison ! Parce que « allĂ©luia », en hĂ©breu, ça veut dire « Louez Dieu » ou « Gloire Ă Dieu » Donc, aucune raison de sâen priver : lâĂ©glise, câest vraiment le lieu pour chanter la gloire de Dieu. Autant dire que ça paraĂźt vraiment bizarre quand on entend crier allĂ©luia dans un match ou pour un dĂ©fi rĂ©ussi : nâest-ce pas traiter la personne de Dieu Ă la lĂ©gĂšre ? RĂ©servons donc nos « allĂ©luia » Ă la louange du Seigneur !
Sylvie Dugand
__________________ Lecture proposĂ©e : Livre de lâApocalypse, chapitre 19 1 AprĂšs cela, j'entendis dans le ciel comme une voix forte d'une foule nombreuse qui disait: AllĂ©luia! Le salut, la gloire, et la puissance sont Ă notre Dieu,2 parce que ses jugements sont vĂ©ritables et justes; car il a jugĂ© la grande prostituĂ©e qui corrompait la terre par son impudicitĂ©, et il a vengĂ© le sang de ses serviteurs en le redemandant de sa main.3 Et ils dirent une seconde fois: AllĂ©luia! ...et sa fumĂ©e monte aux siĂšcles des siĂšcles.4 Et les vingt-quatre vieillards et les quatre ĂȘtres vivants se prosternĂšrent et adorĂšrent Dieu assis sur le trĂŽne, en disant: Amen! AllĂ©luia!5 Et une voix sortit du trĂŽne, disant: Louez notre Dieu, vous tous ses serviteurs, vous qui le craignez, petits et grands!6 Et j'entendis comme une voix d'une foule nombreuse, comme un bruit de grosses eaux, et comme un bruit de forts tonnerres, disant: AllĂ©luia! Car le Seigneur notre Dieu tout puissant est entrĂ© dans son rĂšgne.7 RĂ©jouissons-nous et soyons dans l'allĂ©gresse, et donnons-lui gloire; car les noces de l'agneau sont venues, et son Ă©pouse s'est prĂ©parĂ©e,8 et il lui a Ă©tĂ© donnĂ© de se revĂȘtir d'un fin lin, Ă©clatant, pur. Car le fin lin, ce sont les oeuvres justes des saints.9 Et l'ange me dit: Ăcris: Heureux ceux qui sont appelĂ©s au festin des noces de l'agneau! Et il me dit: Ces paroles sont les vĂ©ritables paroles de Dieu.10 Et je tombai Ă ses pieds pour l'adorer; mais il me dit: Garde-toi de le faire! Je suis ton compagnon de service, et celui de tes frĂšres qui ont le tĂ©moignage de JĂ©sus. Adore Dieu. -Car le tĂ©moignage de JĂ©sus est l'esprit de la prophĂ©tie.

Interview Street Artist made in Montpellier #2 CRYING SAILOR
80 % des artistes exposĂ©s dans les galeries dâart sont des hommes ! Et pourtant, sâil y a bien un secteur qui ne connaĂźt pas de genre, câest celui de lâart, un monde qui met avant davantage les Ćuvres que leurs crĂ©ateurs. MĂȘme lĂ il reste plus difficile Ă une femme dâaccĂ©der Ă la reconnaissance. Dans le street-art aussi, les femmes sont Ă la rue !
Sâil reste difficile de donner un chiffre prĂ©cis, le street-art au fĂ©minin donne aux femmes un espace (public) dâexpression hors norme mais, lui aussi, encore mĂ©connu. En effet, qui nâa jamais entendu parler â au moins une fois â de Banksy, JR, Invader, Jordane Saget, Jef AĂ©rosol, Above, JonOne, Seth⊠pour ne citer que certains des plus (re)connus. Ou plus exactement sĂ»rement avez-vous dĂ©jĂ vu une de leurs Ćuvres qui ornent les murs des villes. Difficile dây Ă©chapper lorsque lâon habite Paris par exemple.
Selon une étude de la sociologue Sylvie Cromer sur « les représentations sexuées dans les spectacles pour le jeune public », portant sur 729 spectacles (saison 2006-2007) et 1 262 personnages. Il apparaßt que ces spectacles sont créés majoritairement par un homme (52 %), 14 % par des femmes, et 34 % par des équipes mixtes.
De plus, les personnages représentés sont majoritairement des hommes (45 %), contre 28 % des femmes, 14 %, des garçons, 12 % des filles.
Mais la France est loin dâĂȘtre une exception⊠malheureusement. Ainsi, en 1989, le groupe dâactivistes fĂ©ministes les Guerrilla Girls placarde dans les rues de New York des affiches qui interpellent : « Faut-il que les femmes soient nues pour entrer au Metropolitan Museum ? Moins de 5 % des artistes de la section dâart moderne sont des femmes, mais 85 % des nus sont fĂ©minins ».
Qui connaĂźt ou a dĂ©jĂ entendu parler de Kashink, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, Swoon, Shamsia Hassani, Miss Van, Clare Rojas, Lady Pink, Maya Hayuk, Miss Tic, Fafi, Lady Sonp, Vinnie Grafitti, Jessy Doudou Style⊠? Et oui, mĂȘme dans le street-art, les femmes restent moins connues et moins mĂ©diatisĂ©es que les hommes. Pourtant, la rue leur appartient aussi !
DeuxiĂšme portrait de la sĂ©rie dĂ©diĂ©e aux femmes street artistes de Montpellier et alentours sur le site de Support Your Local Girl Gang âŠ. Crying Sailor a rĂ©pondu  à notre interview Girl Gang.
Peux-tu nous raconter ton parcours ?Â
Jâai toujours travaillĂ© avec les enfants, dâabord dans les jeux vidĂ©o, les jouets, et puis comme bibliothĂ©caire. Jâaime lâillustration, mais aussi la musique que je pratique depuis toute petite. Jâai composĂ© de la musique Ă©lectronique pendant une dizaine dâannĂ©es, et je reviens vers le dessin depuis un an. Je suis autodidacte, dans les deux disciplines. Jâai besoin de mâexprimer de façon crĂ©ative, et jâaime aussi transmettre quelque chose aux gens, dâoĂč mon intĂ©rĂȘt pour le street art. DerniĂšrement jâai crĂ©Ă© ma boĂźte afin de proposer des rencontres avec les Ă©coles, des ateliers crĂ©atifs, de la dĂ©coration, des expos et bien sĂ»r la vente de mes dessins et autres objets. Au rang des projets Ă plus long terme : proposer des ateliers-rencontres pour les personnes Ă haut potentiel intellectuel, non pas par Ă©litisme mais au contraire parce que les personnes surdouĂ©es sont probablement celles qui se sentent le plus seules au monde. Jâaimerais Ă©galement travailler avec des personnes autistes car le street art est un levier intĂ©ressant pour ces personnes qui ont du mal Ă se confronter au monde extĂ©rieur. Quand es-tu tombĂ©e dans le street art ? Tu te souviens de tes premiers collages ?
Jâai commencĂ© le street art il y a un an, suite Ă une sorte de dĂ©clic. Mon grand pĂšre est dĂ©cĂ©dĂ© il y a une dizaine dâannĂ©es, et comme câest quelquâun qui a beaucoup comptĂ© pour moi, je mâĂ©tais toujours dit que je ne resterais pas sur le trauma de sa disparition et de la maladie. Jâaime lâidĂ©e de rĂ©silience et mĂȘme au delĂ de ça, dâarriver Ă transformer en opportunitĂ© les Ă©vĂšnements nĂ©gatifs de la vie. Il y a un an jâai dĂ©couvert le travail dâune tatoueuse que jâaime beaucoup, « Nag », et jâai Ă©changĂ© avec elle pour quâelle retravaille Ă sa façon un vieux portrait de mon grand pĂšre quand il Ă©tait marin. Et câest par ce tatouage quâa commencĂ© Ă germer mon projet Crying Sailor. Jâai dĂ©cidĂ© de reprendre cette photo de mon grand pĂšre que jâavais depuis toujours chez moi et dâen faire un pochoir, afin de lui donner une seconde vie. Mes premiers pochoirs je les ai faits dans des skateparks et dans le verdanson. Par la suite je les ai faits sur du papier que je colle, câest plus rapide et moins risquĂ© que lâaĂ©rosol quand on veut en mettre dans le centre.A la base je voulais juste aller au bout de mon projet hommage, et puis je me suis prise au jeu du street art parce que jâai rĂ©alisĂ© que ça faisait sourire les gens dans la rue, que ça mettait un peu de gaitĂ© dans le quotidien, et ça pour moi ça a vraiment du sens. Jâai donc Ă©largi mon projet Ă dâautres idĂ©es et dâautres techniques.
Y a-t-il des artistes qui ont compté dans ta carriÚre ?
Câest plutĂŽt quand jâĂ©tais petite que jâai le souvenir dâadultes qui ont comptĂ© pour moi, artistes ou intellos. Ma mĂšre avait de bonnes frĂ©quentations et je lui en suis reconnaissante. AprĂšs, Ă©tant bibliothĂ©caire de mĂ©tier, jâai eu la chance de dĂ©couvrir des tas dâillustrateurs gĂ©niaux, et dâaffiner mon goĂ»t pour lâimage. La littĂ©rature jeunesse est dâune richesse incroyable dans ce domaine lĂ . Jâaime Ă©normĂ©ment Kitty Crowther car elle cumule un talent pour les textes et lâillustration, en plus de crĂ©er un univers trĂšs singulier et plein dâĂ©motion.Â
Dâune maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale je crois que câest l'authenticitĂ© qui me touche le plus dans une dĂ©marche crĂ©ative. Quelquâun qui met tout ce quâil est dans son art, câest comme un rĂ©cit autobiographique, ça a beaucoup plus de puissance. Dâailleurs jâadore le roman graphique « pilules bleues » de Frederick Peeters dans le genre histoire vĂ©cue, câest un chef dâĆuvre pour moi.Â
On parle souvent de la misogynie dans l'Art et d'autres domaines. Te sens tu investie dâun rĂŽle par rapport à ça ?Â
Pour ma part je nâai pas ressenti de misogynie dans le domaine artistique. Je pense que les femmes ont la place quâelles se donnent . Je suis allĂ©e vers pas mal dâactivitĂ©s oĂč les femmes sont assez minoritaires (jeux vidĂ©o, beatmaker, bassiste...) et je ne me suis jamais posĂ©e la question de savoir si jây avais ma place. Parce quâau final si tu te sens Ă ta place, la place se fait naturellement auprĂšs des autres. Je ne me sens investie dâaucun rĂŽle particulier, si ce nâest dâĂȘtre une femme libre de ses choix.
Le street art montpellierain a bien évolué en quelques années. Comment perçois-tu cette nouvelle vague, qui secoue un peu les choses ?
Je trouve ça super riche et câest un gros progrĂšs que ce soit perçu comme quelque chose qui embellit la ville plutĂŽt que comme une dĂ©gradation. Seulement il reste une incohĂ©rence lĂ dessus puisque concrĂštement si on se fait prendre en train de coller ou de peindre on risque de grosses amendes, alors que la ville fait visiter nos Ćuvres dans son parcours street art... JâespĂšre que ça changera, Ă force que le street art se dĂ©mocratise. Mais câest dĂ©jĂ une trĂšs bonne chose que les Ćuvres ne soient pas dĂ©collĂ©es.Â
Que penses-tu des Ă©vĂšnements autour des femmes Ă Montpellier et plus largement dans le Sud de la France ?
Si tu veux parler de manifs, je ne suis pas une fĂ©ministe « engagĂ©e » donc je ne les connais pas forcĂ©ment. Lutter contre des vieilles idĂ©es macho pour moi câest contre productif, car ça revient Ă mettre de lâĂ©nergie dans quelque chose de nĂ©gatif . En revanche essayer Ă titre individuel dâĂȘtre une femme aussi libre et inspirante que possible, transmettre de jolies idĂ©es, Ă©duquer nos enfants autrement, ça je crois que câest le vrai pouvoir que nous avons pour changer les mentalitĂ©s, et câest Ă la portĂ©e de toute personne un minimum consciente . Ăa nâest pas une attitude dĂ©missionnaire de ma part mais une posture positive qui a confiance dans lâamĂ©lioration de chacun et dans lâavenir. AprĂšs Ă©videmment quand il sâagit des droits des femmes ça câest autre chose, lĂ câest important de se battre pour lâĂ©galitĂ© bien sĂ»r.
Tes artistes prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©.e.s Ă Montpellier et alentours  ?Â
Je prĂ©fĂšre Ă©viter cette question qui peut susciter des petites jalousies, en plus je dĂ©teste choisir ;) Dâune maniĂšre gĂ©nĂ©rale je suis sensible Ă la dĂ©marche des artistes et Ă leur personnalitĂ©, plus quâa la technique pure.Â
Avec quel autre street artist.e aimes-tu collaborer ?Â
Il y a mon pote Culkeeen avec qui jâai beaucoup collĂ© au dĂ©but parce quâil a commencĂ© quasiment en mĂȘme temps. Et Matriochcake parce quâon a un univers un peu similaire sur le cĂŽtĂ© geekette. Et puis jâaime bien la collaboration en gĂ©nĂ©ral, jâaime le partage.
Ta street artiste prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©e ?Â
Alors ça dĂ©pend dans quelle catĂ©gorie. Je dirais Cal pour ses dessins pleins dâhumour. Les phrases de petite poissonne. LâesthĂ©tique de Koralie.Â
Des endroits que tu recommanderais pour faire la fĂȘte ?Â
Faire la fĂȘte, la vie nocturne, câest pas tellement mon truc, je prĂ©fĂšre mille fois une petite terrasse tranquille.
Quel est ton spot à apéro ? Mon canapé / mon balcon
Tes prochaines dates ?Â
Du 6 au 10 juin le festival Wild Summer Ă Castelnau oĂč je serai prĂ©sente pour un live painting avec pas mal dâautres street artistes. Et d'ici un mois, mise en place du shop sur mon site internet www.cryingsailor.com
Que penses-tu de Support your Local Girl Gang  ?  Je ne connaissais pas mais je trouve ça cool comme dĂ©marche. Dâailleurs ça va un peu dans le sens de ma conception du fĂ©minisme, mettre en avant des portraits de femmes un peu en dehors du modĂšle traditionnel. Merci pour votre invitation.

Lessive: mode d'emploi Je remercie chaque jour celui qui a inventĂ© la machine Ă laver compte tenu du nombre de lessives que je fais par semaine. Je pratique aussi de temps Ă autre la lessive Ă la main pour dĂ©panner. Mais lĂ , je vais vous expliquer comment faire une lessive dans une machine sans arrivĂ©e d'eau courante... une expĂ©rience unique! 1. On coupe du bois pour faire un feu 2. On chauffe l'eau sur le poĂȘle 3. On sort la machine que l'on branche Ă l'Ă©lectricitĂ© 4. On y verse l'eau, la lessive et les vĂȘtements 5. On enclenche la machine 6. AprĂšs 30 min. on essort les vĂȘtements et on vidange la machine dans un grosse bassine 7. Dans une 2e bassine, on verse le reste de l'eau chauffĂ©e prĂ©cĂ©demment et on y met les vĂȘtements pour enlever Ă la main l'eau savonneuse. 8. Puis dernier essorage... et le tour est jouĂ©! On peut enfin suspendre nos habits plus ou moins propres... A bon entendeur đSylvie
