🌹✨Channeled Messages🌹✨

Love Letters From Your Person ❤️💋

Please take what resonates and leave what does not! 🥰✨🪬

Lately my heart chakra has been opening up, so it is much easier to channel these kinds of messages lol I used to be the type that was like "I don't really do love readings," but here I am channeling these messages. Love comes through more clear, more sacred, and more beautiful🤍

This anime is called Kiki's Delivery Service btw.

P.S. A lot of my channeled messages that I post will have "@TAROTW/BLOSSOM" because that is my Facebook business page where people can reach out to me and book a reading. I also post motivational messages there so check it out when you can!

francesca hayward’s roles <33 ( this post took me all day , reblogs are appreciated ) i’d say this is a masterpost of every part she’s danced , however , i’m bound to miss at least one given the fact she has been a ballerina for decades . i’m leaving discretions on nearly every post now , since i’ve seen first hand how petty tumblr can be when you get ONE detail wrong . before we begin , i won’t be including theatrical movies like cats or stand alone ballet performances . only fictional works . swan lake - francesca has danced the most roles in this ballet . consisting of odette / odile , prince siegfried’s sister ( this isn’t a traditional role in the ballet , however , upon further research , it appears royal ballet has been performing a revised version since late 2010 , so there’s a 95% chance his sister is a real role . ) , one of the four little swans , and various princesses .

giselle - like nearly every ballet she’s been in , francesca danced the titular role . i don’t know a lot about giselle as a ballet since i’ve yet to see it , but i believe she danced one of two peasants in the pas paysant duet . 

the nutcracker - arguably her most recognizable roles , francesca danced the part of sugarplum fairy and clara .

sleeping beauty - francesca danced princess aurora , bluebird and canary fairy / songbird .

romeo and juliet - francesca danced juliet . i believe they made a movie based on the ballet with her as juliet . i’ve yet to watch it since i heard it gets pretty gruesome , but a full recording exists nonetheless if you’re interested .

cinderella - francesca danced the titular role , cinderella .

coppelia - francesca danced the lead female , swanilda .

a midsummer night’s dream / the dream - francesca danced the lead female , titania .

alice's adventures in wonderland - francesca danced the titular role , alice .

manon - francesca danced the titular role , manon . if anyone has footage of her in performance , please share with me .

mayerling - francesca danced as princess stephanie .

la fille mal gardée - the following ballets i only learned existed while making this post , so take what i say with a grain of salt . i believe francesca danced the role of lise .

like water for chocolate - francesca danced the role of tita .

the wind - francesca danced the role of letty mason .

different drummer - i don’t know anything about this ballet . i got my information from marcelino sambe’s instagram , but here’s a photo of francesca in it .

hamlet and ophelia - i don't know how i missed this , but hours after i made this post , francesca uploaded photos from curtain call and backstage of hamlet onto her instagram story . so , here's the screenshots of her as ophelia .

COMO AGUA PARA CHOCOLATE (2024) ❖ 1x01 "Torrejas de nata"

[freedelusionshere]

It’s interesting, Like Water for Chocolate begins with the difficult birth of the talented/mystically gifted chef that wasn’t ready to be born.

Even in her mother's womb, Tita cried so fiercely when her mother chopped onion that she magically sent her mother into early labor. Born on the kitchen table, Tita's tears continued, flooding the kitchen floor.

Tita also has an abusive mother like Carmy.

Influence on Carmy’s birth story?

BOOK REVIEW: LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE

Disclaimers:

SPOILERS/ I haven't finished the book (But I watched the movie so I already know how it's gonna end hehe)

This is not a book review (HAHAHA OK I JUST REALLY REALLY WANNA VENT SOME STUFF ABOUT IT AND WRITTING "BOOK REVIEW" SEEMS PRETTY AND IT MAKES ME FEEL COOL)

This will be poorly written (I write how I speak and I speak very wrongly so-)

I read the book in spanish so I hope things aren't too different in other languages

LET'S START.

QUICK SUPER FAST SUMMARY WITH NO SPOILERS:

It's a very good book (bruh HAHA). OK BUT IT IS A VERY GOOD BOOK. It's super short. It plays with time so as it's explaining something to you, it involves the past, the present and the future AND I LOVE THAT. Cause sometimes I don't know where I am and what things have happened already and what hasn't. It uses a lot of uhmm... how is it called? imaginary resources? It uses a lot of magical realism AND I LIVE FOR THAT. THERE ARE SO MANY SCENES I WANNA ANIMATE JUST BECAUSE THEY FEEL SO POETIC AND INCREDIBLE TO PICTURE. Not that I understand them, but it's just so magical to read them.

Honestly, some stupid theories I thought while reading was Tita had super powers or something, or she's crazy and everything described is all in her mind. But I would very much prefer to believe, all those things are real in that universe.

Anyways, good book. Short, it has a lot of cooking recipes (It's unknown to me if people would be able to copy them by just buying this book but who knows, maybe) a lot of magical realism and incredible pictures. I HAVE TO MENTION- that this book wouldn't exactly be for kids as it references adult relationships and many of the imaginary resources come from private body parts or mildy... LIKE NOT DISGUSTING THINGS, just not... average things? Idk- If I had to describe it in a way. It's a kind of book that is like when you see someone naked and it's not supposed to be sexual or awkward. It's like you are drawing a model and take it as art.

MY BONE TO PICK WITH CHARACTERS (SPOILERS)

I hate Pedro WTF PEDRO I HATE YOU SMM WHY ARE YOU EVEN AN OPTION???? AERGHH I'M SO MAD- I'M GONNA MAKE A PRO AND CON LIST.

Pedro:

Pros

-He dated Tita and they were supposed to be these super in love kids and teens and adults. (DUDE I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SEE THAT. I DON'T SEE IT, WHEN? WHERE? I ONLY WITNESSED WHEN HE DECLARED HIS LOVE, AND ONE OR TWO MENTIONS OF THEM DATING OR DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER?? AND THEN?? NOTHING? LIKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIKE HIM AT ALL? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HIM??? I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIM- of focus, focus)

-He loves Tita I guess (He does,I guess,,, after all these years, it's true- he never forgot about her, I'll give him that)

-He's nice with Tita? (I mean what else is he supposed to do if he likes her? I can't think of anything else tbh. Let's go to the cons.)

-He's Tita's same age (Oh right)

CONS

-HE MARRIED TITA'S SISTER TO BE CLOSER TO TITA (WOW WAAAAAW WOW *SARCASTIC CLAPS* REEEEAAAAAL GENIUS MOVE, DUDE. YOU TOTALLY NAILED IT. OK- for the sake of continuing. Maybe, yeah- let's say he didn't have any other option! Let's say that if he didn't marry Rosaura, he'd have never seen Tita again. Let's continue)

(it's still pretty stupid, ugh)

-He has no personality (I honestly don't know anything about him. I just know he likes Tita. All the scenes where he has dialogue, I feel nothing from him. It's like a wall that does what the scene asks him to do. Idk maybe I was bias from the beginning because of the movie- AND I LOVED HIM AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MOVIE)

-He does nothing. He only does what he's told. (I understand Mamá Elena was super terrifying. But like, he didn't even try to fight. He just accepted to exist there, married with someone he didn't like and SABROSEANDOSE a Tita all the time.)

-Then he was just h*rny all the time for Tita. (idk- what about chatting? you know? maybe this isn't just that type of book)

-He was too jealouse and possesive despite HIM BEING ALREADY MARRIED TO TITA'S SISTER??? HAVING HAD 2 KIDS?? (Tita queen, she told him exactly that. LIKE HE DOESN'T MIND GOING OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE TITA FEEL BAD, OR GETTING UPSET AT HER FOR FINALLY HAVING A CHANCE TO BE HAPPY WITH SOMEONE ELSE.)

-He's dumb and impulsive

-When he's jealous of a man, he wants to break people's faces off.

John

Cons

-He's way bigger than her. IDk the number but he saw her when she was a child. He was married before and had a child.

hmmm can't think of anymore? maybe??

-He has a kid?? But Tita likes kids I think, so?

Pros

-He's understanding and kind.

-He took care of Tita when no one did.

-He took her in untils she was completely fine. Even if she was kind of mean to him or wouldn't talk to him at all. He let her be as she pleased.

-He comforted her when her mom was JUST HORRIBLE with her.

-He proposed or signaled his interest on her in front of her mother despite mamá Elena's protests.

-HE APPRECIATES HER A LOT AND HE'S PROUD OF HER.

-He FORGAVE HER INFIDELITY AND WASN'T EVEN MAD ABOUT IT. HE STILL WANTED TO MARRY HER AND IF SHE DIDN'T. HE STILL SAID HE'D BE VERY HAPPY FOR HER.

-OK AND MATERIAL THINGS AREN'T EVERYTHING BUT HE'S A DOCTOR AND OWNS A PRETTY COOL HOUSE, SO-

Hmmm those things are the ones I can think of rn. When I finish the book I'll see If I add more

Codornices en pétalos de rosas

III. Marzo

INGREDIENTES:

12 rosas, de preferencia rojas

12 casta��as

2 cucharadas de mantequilla

2 cucharadas de fécula de maíz

2 gotas de esencia de rosas

2 cucharadas de anís

2 cucharadas de miel

2 ajos

6 codornices

1 pithaya

Manera de hacerse:

Se desprenden con mucho cuidado los pétalos de las rosas, procurando no pincharse los dedos, pues aparte de que es muy doloroso (el piquete), los pétalos pueden quedar impregnados de sangre y esto, aparte de alterar el sabor del platillo, puede provocar reacciones químicas, por demás peligrosas.

“As you see, within our bodies each of us has the elements needed to produce phosphorus. And let me tell you something I've never told a soul. My grandmother had a very interesting theory; she said that each of us is born with a box of matches inside us but we can't strike them all by ourselves; just as in the experiment, we need oxygen and a candle to help. In this case, the oxygen, for example, would come from the breath of the person you love; the candle could be any kind of food, music, caress, word, or sound that engenders the explosion that lights one of the matches. For a moment we are dazzled by an intense emotion. A pleasant warmth grows within us, fading slowly as time goes by, until a new explosion comes along to revive it. Each person has to discover what will set off those explosions in order to live, since the combustion that occurs when one of them is ignited is what nourishes the soul. That fire, in short, is its food. If one doesn't find out in time what will set off these explosions, the box of matches dampens, and not a single match will ever be lighted. If that happens, the soul flees from the body and goes to wander among the deepest shades, trying in vain to find food to nourish itself, unaware that only the body it left behind, cold and defenseless, is capable of providing that food.

That's why it's important to keep your distance from people who have frigid breath. Just their presence can put out the most intense fire, with results we're familiar with. If we stay a good distance away from those people, it's easier to protect ourselves from being extinguished.

There are many ways to dry out a box of damp matches, but you can be sure, there is a cure.

You must of course take care to light the matches one at a time. If a powerful emotion should ignite them all at once they would produce a splendor so dazzling that it would illuminate far beyond what we can normally see; and then a brilliant tunnel would appear before our eyes, revealing the path we forgot the moment we were born, and summoning us to regain the divine origin we had lost. The soul ever longs to return to the place from which it came, leaving the body lifeless.”

If you loved The Cook of Castamar and want to read something with similar vibes, I recommend Like Water for Chocolate.
