Je te laisserai des mots En d'ssous de ta porte En d'ssous de les murs qui chantent Tout près de la place où tes pieds passent Cachés dans les trous de ton divan

El amor romántico llena tantos divanes, que para poder dar turnos no habría suficientes profesionales. Dura tan poco, y es tan irreal, que lo que siembra se cosecha en meses, si no se marchita y se cae. Vuelve locos a los cuerdos, a los más sabios, les hace dudar. Que es química y nada más. Y así nos afecta, nos suma y luego nos resta, quizás hasta por demás, dedicamos demasiado tiempo, demasiada eternidad a una corta historieta porque dure un rato más. Y así nos torturamos, en vez de madurar, sabiendo que es etapa y no una realidad, que perdure con el tiempo, y que no ha de perdurar. Que la verdadera consistencia no ha de verse diluida, en lo que dura un te amo, tan prematuro. Y es que este amor romántico, me ha engañado tanto, que me siento un pelotudo.

“New York has changed hugely. Everyone knows it, says it and it’s true. When I was there in ‘71, the city was pretty run-down. That was its charm. It was that seediness I loved so much – and those contours. The city was bankrupt. Dangerous. Everyone said as much, but I wasn’t afraid. On the contrary, I was exhilarated. [...] I understand people who say that this film will be their last. Then, a few years later, they make another. People tell them, but you said... Yes, I said that. As for me, I never said anything. But I’d thought about it hard after ‘Divan’, it had been too difficult... That wasn’t why I’d wanted to make films, having been inspired by ‘Pierrot le fou’. With that film of mine, I’d truly become an adult. Joined the world of adults who act like adults. I’d left behind the minority that Deleuze speaks of and I’d fallen into the noise. Yes, with ‘Divan’, I’d stopped dwelling on the nothing that my mother talks of when she says, there’s nothing to add.”

— Chantal Akerman, “Chantal Akerman: autoportrait en cinéaste, Paris: Éditions du Centre Georges Pompidou/Éditions Cahiers du cinéma”, 2004

The song, “je te laisserai de mots” by Patrick Watson, is SO Cardan during Jude’s exile. Below are the lyrics translated into English, which are originally French:

I will leave you words (notes)

Je te laisserai des mots

Below your door

En-dessous de ta porte

Below the singing walls

En-dessous de les murs qui chantent

Very close to the place where your feet pass

Tout près de la place où tes pieds passent

Hidden in the holes of your couch

Cachés dans les trous de ton divan

And when you're alone for a moment

Et quand tu es seule pendant un instant

Pick me up

Ramasse-moi

When you want

Quand tu voudras

Kiss me

Embrasse-moi

When you want

Quand tu voudras

Pick me up

Ramasse-moi

When you want

Quand tu voudras

The first part about leaving notes is so cardan w his letters to Jude. “I will leave notes beneath where your feet pass, in the holes of your couch” almost like the notes/letters or the MEANING of them will be SO CLOSE, yet so far 😭😭 second part he’s pretty much longing for his lover to come to him when she’s ready, if she ever will be- which is exactly what cardan does, never invading Jude’s new life in the mortal world.

This user on Reddit worded the meaning beautifully, and you cannot sit here and tell me this doesn’t scream jurdan.

The song itself is so beautiful, if you’re interested give it a listen! It was pretty popular on TikTok a few years back and for a reason!

THE HEIR – A Volturi Fanfiction

Prologue:

Hello, readers! I hope you all enjoy this wonderful fanfic that It's on my mind for a long, long time... Any feedback It's welcome, xoxo!

______________________________________

The stone walls and the gloom that permeated the narrow corridors of the Volturi's subterranean stronghold exuded a morose and somber ambiance, meticulously cultivated. For the immortals dwelling within, the weather of Volterra aboveground mattered little, but for the hapless humans ensnared in the clandestine chambers, there existed no more inhospitable abode. Even the depths of Hades, they mused, might prove less sweltering and oppressive. Were it not for the refined tastes of the vampire aristocracy, the fortress's chambers likely would not be so impeccably appointed.

Selina, the youthful enchantress, delighted in imagining that her relentless and sadistic master, Caius, derived a perverse pleasure from likening their domain to the inferno. And perhaps, she pondered, such a comparison wasn't entirely unfounded...

She raised her head with steely resolve, traversing the corridors adorned with Renaissance artwork, sporadically illuminated by flickering candlelight casting a faint glow upon ancient artifacts. It was a whim of the Volturi's elite, adorning their underground sanctuary with relics that could well predate Selina's own existence.

Without preamble, she pushed open the double doors to a chamber, discovering a cadre of vampires engaged in hushed conversation, comfortably ensconced within.

"Look who's returned to the lion's den, Selina?" taunted Renata, perched pretentiously in an armchair near the central hearth, a tome bound in crimson velvet clutched in her hands.

Selina entered the chamber, arching a disdainful brow, displaying her disinterest in the vampire who once again sought to provoke her needlessly.

"Must you be so disagreeable, Renata? Is it truly necessary to so blatantly advertise your disdain for me? It would behoove you to feign civility, wouldn't you agree?" Selina retorted, her smile laced with a tantalizing edge, as Chelsea escorted her to the vermilion settee, whose crimson eyes gleamed with a sinister allure.

Chelsea emitted a soft chuckle, murmuring to Selina as they approached the divan where a gentleman was engrossed in a game of chess.

"She wouldn't be capable of feigning camaraderie. How would she cope with the envy of having to share Aro's attention with you?" Chelsea remarked, guiding Selina with a gentle touch upon her shoulder.

Renata's glare swept across the chamber before returning to the book in her possession, pointedly ignoring Chelsea's comment to stave off any further conflict.

"Have you had a pleasant journey, Lina?" inquired Afton, Chelsea's consort, deftly maneuvering a chess piece upon the board. It appeared he was playing alone.

Selina reclined upon the settee, offering a dissatisfied smile.

"Demetri and I tracked down two nomads responsible for the slaughter in Santiago. Master Caius tasked us with their disposal after their execution. Despite their intriguing nature, I've never encountered anything quite like it..." Selina began, recounting some of her recent exploits, though her gaze drifted pensively to the crackling flames in the hearth, lost momentarily in thought.

"And...?" Afton regarded her with the same curiosity as Chelsea.

"They stored the bodies in stacks, appearing strangely preserved..." Selina replied, her voice tinged with contemplation.

Chelsea furrowed her brow in perplexity, exchanging silent, conspiratorial glances with Afton, while Selina snapped back to attention, alternating her focus between the pair.

"What troubles you? What have you gleaned?" Selina inquired icily, her determination palpable in her gaze.

"It's a vampiric custom, Selina..." Afton began, attempting to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"It is my prerogative to be informed..." Selina insisted, her unwavering gaze leaving no room for evasion.

The man sought Chelsea's support, receiving a nod of encouragement, prompting him to continue. Afton occupied a similar station to Selina within the Volturi hierarchy. Though Aro and other members of the coven may not hold his presence in as high regard as Chelsea's, he commanded respect nonetheless, and Selina, favored by Aro due to her unique abilities, held a similar standing.

"There exists a practice... an arcane tradition scarcely known, involving the preservation of human remains, and she..." Afton's words were cut short as the door swung open abruptly, revealing the ethereal figure of Jane, who had materialized like a phantom, her footsteps unheard by any within.

The room fell into silence, awaiting her command. Jane offered a benign smile, though it failed to reach her eyes, lending her an air of icy detachment.

"Aro requests your presence. Go now and tarry not," Jane intoned softly, sending shivers down Selina's spine. She nodded silently and made her exit, leaving behind a disgruntled Renata and an atmosphere fraught with tension.

"That she-devil..." Chelsea muttered through gritted teeth.

"Tesoro..." Afton chided gently.

Selina rose from the settee and made her way to the door, exchanging a final glance with her companions.

"We shall converse anon. Fret not, Afton..." she assured them, casting a meaningful wink their way. It was a subtle message understood only by the trio. Selina possessed the clandestine ability to obscure memories—a tool she would wield to safeguard against Aro's intrusion, ensuring he perceived only what was expedient.

Selina departed, navigating the dimly lit corridors toward Aro, leaving behind a discontented Renata.
