Sto poco su Twitter quindi ho letto meno pareri, ma una cosa che ho notato è il doppio standard nei confronti di Nina e Mimmo.
Al di là delle critiche alla recitazione etc, ho letto veri e propri insulti nei confronti del personaggio di Nina perché, senza saperlo (va ricordato!), si è messa in mezzo a Manuel e Simone. Ma non ho letto le stesse cose nei confronti di Mimmo, che sta facendo esattamente la stessa cosa, attirando l'attenzione di Simone su di sè e distraendolo da Manuel.
Adoro Mimmo come personaggio e mi piace tanto come recita l'attore, meno come recita l'attrice di Nina e il suo personaggio, specialmente quando agisce prima di pensare, ma in ogni caso non posso fare a meno di sottolineare il doppio standard. Che ci sia una matrice sessista (inconscia o meno) sotto?
Così come trovo eccessiva l'aggressività di certi commenti nei confronti della Rai/sceneggiatori. Ci hanno dato motivo per fidarci di loro? No, non proprio. Ma allo stesso tempo, se ci fosse l'intenzione di arrivare alla simuel attraverso uno slow burn, ma non è mica carino ricevere insulti perché le persone lo vogliono subito.
Sarà una cosa mia, ma non comprendo le critiche ad una stagione che non è ancora terminata. Trovo abbastanza infantile sbattere i piedi a terra perché la serie non dà subito quello che si vorrebbe.
E credo anch'io che per molte persone sia la prima esperienza in un fandom, perché non posso pensare che veterani di ship queer mai divenute canonice reagiscano così. Anzi!! La quantità di sguardi, primi piano, battute ad hoc etc sono un chiaro indizio che non stanno davvero "abbandonando la nave". Ho visto gente chiamarle briciole, ma per quanto mi riguarda è molto di più! Sarà che chi è già in altri fandom più vecchi è abituato ad ottenere (nel migliore dei casi) solo scene per fare queerbaiting, quindi già tutto quello che è successo nella prima stagione è tanta roba.
Mi sento molto una vecchietta che ha vissuto la fame durante la guerra e che ora guarda dei ragazzi seduti al ristorante lamentarsi di chi va più spesso a ristoranti stellati. Non lo so, ha del surreale tutto ciò.
Una cosa che mi fa genuinamente ridere è la percezione che twitter e tumblr hanno di mimmo: diametralmente opposte. Ovviamente ci sono le eccezioni, e ci sta, ma su twitter sembra quasi che la sua presenza sia la peste bubbonica
Nel senso, posso capire che non piaccia un personaggio. Difenderò il diritto di non piacere, ma arrivare a commenti classisti per voler difendere la simuel, anche meno. Che poi, se uno ha letto le anticipazioni, sa come finirà la stagione, non dovrebbe avere ragioni di preoccuparsi.
E poi, il massimo si raggiunge con insulti gratuiti verso l'attrice di Nina. Nemmeno a me piace, sarò sincera. Ha un modo di recitare che non mi fa impazzire e non mi trasmette le emozioni che vorrei, ma questo non significa che sia giusto perseguitarla perché il suo personaggio si mette in mezzo a una ship.
È abbastanza palese che per molte di queste persone sia la prima esperienza in un fandom. Se non lo è, è grave che non siano cresciute da riconoscere il problema.
#un professore#gli shipper pazzi e ossessionati mi spaventano#sometimes you have to enjoy the ride#la rai non è il massimo#ma alcuni si devono dare una bella calmata#sottoscrivo i tag precedenti#simuel#simone x mimmo#simmo#mimmone#manuel x nina#simone x manuel

The THIEF's song (La Cançó del Lladre)
Manuel Cabral y Aguado Bejarano. Escena de una venta. 1855. | Eugenio Lucas Velázquez. Bandoleros. circa 1860. | Manuel Barrón y Carrillo. Emboscada a unos bandoleros en la cueva del Gato. 1869. [x]
"La Cançó del Lladre is a popular 18th century Catalan melody, from a tradition known as Canciones de Bandoleros: bandit songs. The bandoleros at that time were people who challenged the established social, political, and economic order, engaging in banditry in an era when divisions between social classes were very pronounced. They stole from the upper classes sometimes to give to the poor, and sometimes simply to protest against the system, which precluded social mobility and did not allow people to escape poverty and labour exploitation.
This song's lyrics are told in the first person by a thief who is sentenced to death after a lifetime of robbery and crime. Through each stanza he recounts his misdeeds, every robbery he committed, and despite everything, this song is in a major key. And in a way it is joyful. With the lyrics starting from the thief's childhood, it broadcasts that despite all he went through, he lived his life fully and he was happy. The chorus, which says "Adéu, clavell morenet, Adéu, estrella del dia", meaning "Goodbye, dark-coloured carnation, goodbye, star of the day", is a kind of farewell to life, and to that energy that made him feel alive."
— Paola Hermosín
youtube
The Thief's Song
(translation from lyricstranslate.com)
When I was a little boy I was boastful and presumptuous; White espadrilles on my feet And a handkerchief in my pocket.
Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!
And now that I am all grown up, I have chosen an evil path! I have started to rob people: (This is) my daily job.
Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!
I robbed a merchant Who was returning from the town fair; I stole all of his money And the sample he was carrying.
Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!
Once I had enough money I have kidnapped a young maiden: I have taken her with lies, Promising that I'd marry her!
Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!
The law has imprisoned me And it has dragged me to a dark jail. The law has imprisoned me And it shall make me pay with my life!
Goodbye, golden carnation! Goodbye, day star!
Original Catalan lyrics after the cut:
La Cançó del Lladre
Quan jo n'era petitet festejava i presumia, espardenya blanca al peu i mocador a la falsia.
Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!
I ara, que ne sóc grandet, m'he posat a mala vida! En sóc posat, a robar: ofici de cada dia.
Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!
Vaig trobar un traginer qui venia de la fira: li prenguí tots els diners i la mostra que duïa.
Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!
Quan he tingut prou diners, n'hi he robat també una nina: l'he robada amb falsedat, dient que m'hi casaria!
Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!
La justícia m'ha pres i a presó fosca em duïa. La justícia m'ha pres i em farà pagar amb la vida!
Adéu, clavell morenet! Adéu, estrella del dia!

The Who's Who: Cast of Characters
Usnavi (Anthony Ramos) → moved to New York City with his parents at the age of 8; has lived with Abuela Claudia since the death of his parents; runs a bodega in Washington Heights, but dreams of moving back to the Dominican Republic to restore his late father’s bar; has a huge crush on Vanessa
Abuela Claudia (Olga Merediz) → never had children of her own, but becomes the matriarch of the entire block
Kevin Rosario (Jimmy Smits) → owner of the local cab company, Rosario’s Car Service; everything he does is for the benefit of his daughter, Nina – even if it means selling his business
Nina Rosario (Leslie Grace) → the first of the Rosario family to attend college; feels overwhelming pressure from her family and the community to succeed; her experiences at Stanford leave her questioning whether she wants to continue her education there at all; like a sister to Usnavi
Benny (Corey Hawkins) → runs dispatch at Rosario’s Car Service; broke up with Nina before she left for Stanford because he didn’t want to stand in the way of her success; heads back to work in the middle of the blackout after seeing the way the community is struggling
Vanessa (Melissa Barrera) → works at Daniela’s salon, but dreams of leaving Washington Heights to become a successful fashion designer; despite saving up money to move to a new apartment downtown, she is unable to do so without a cosigner; doesn't make her feelings for Usnavi clear until the day before he's set to leave
Sonny (Gregory Diaz IV) → works at the bodega with his cousin, Usnavi; his undocumented status crushes his dream of attending college one day
Daniela (Daphne Rubin-Vega) → owner of a Washington Heights salon that has been priced out of the neighborhood
Carla and Cuca (Stephanie Beatriz and Dascha Polanco)→ work at Daniela’s salon; always know the local gossip and share it with their clients
Alejandro (Mateo Gómez) → a lawyer who helps Usnavi buy back his father’s bar in the Dominican Republic, as well as begin the application process for Sonny to become a US citizen
Graffiti Pete (Noah Catala) → instrumental in breaking Vanessa’s creative rut and in inspiring Usnavi to stay in Washington Heights
Piraguero (Lin-Manuel Miranda) → sells piragua in Washington Heights, but finds himself in competition with a Mr. Softee vendor

Things I loved about In the Heights
-The sounds of the city are part of the music of the opening song
-The frame story is the only way this story should be told; the story only works if it shows the results of Usnavi's decision to stay
-Anthony and Lin shaking hands
-Yay to random mixed race couple asking for directions
-“I hope you’re writing this down I’m gonna test you later” only makes sense with kids
-Showing different residents of Washington Heights provides scale
-I’m not sure about the decision to cut Camila, but if it means less Nina drama, then I love it
-I love how Usnavi has his friends’ orders all ready to go
-LOVE how Usnavi announces Benny’s entrance
-Everything about Vanessa in this movie is perfect=> she’s given so much more depth, her beauty is downplayed, she’s kind of a nerd, but has a beautiful smile
-Nina’s heels=> metaphor for her reaching for the stars
-I love the actress that plays Nina; she’s the right age and her singing voice is so sweet
-Nina’s hair is straight when she’s at school; as soon as she comes home, it’s curly=>she can be herself at home
-When Nina turns around and sees the crowd of people counting on her=> I felt that
-I love seeing Nina get her acceptance letter; I remember what that was like for my brother
-Camila must have died while Nina was at college in this version; Nina lost her mother recently which helps explain her different reason for dropping out; she feels lost
-I don’t know why Sonny is using this deep voice, but I love it!
-Whoever decided to have 96,000 take place at the pool is a genius
-The graphics at the beginning of 96,000 are good for helping regular people understand the rap
-Pete just put his arm around Sonny=> are they dating?
-Sonny yelling 96,000 as he enters the pool=> the sound design
-Pete nodding along to Usnavi=> sucking up to the family
-Usnavi is such a proud cousin-uncle during Sonny’s part in 96,000
-Vanessa making her “I'll be downtown” walk down a ramp
-The dancer doing flips is now a diver doing spins into the pool
-On stage, the lighting was dark; in the movie, it’s underwater
-The circles of people in the pool reflect the zeros in 96,000
-Lin and Chris being rivals is perfect; their bromance is everything
-Nina and Benny being together before the events of the movie means they are the beta couple and have less drama than Usnavi/Vanessa which is how it should be
-Benny joins in during “on that fire escape”=> like West Side Story
-Benny’s “Let me in” against the fence is hilarious
-Nina and Benny are FUN, not angsty like in the original
-Nina following the little girl=> following herself, following her dreams which eventually lead her to the sea; all of this is done while she’s talking about her past
-Nina and Benny instrumental™ part 1 in the middle of “When You’re Home”, Benny interrupts=> their story isn't complete yet
-Benny says he believes in her without discounting her feelings
-Everyone loving Nina=> I finally get it
-Nina is home geographically and with people who love her
-Benny is Nina’s home
-In the Heights is about how dreams are great, but the life you have now can be so beautiful
-Nina’s hair during the dinner/club scene is great
-Usnavi is wearing his dad’s hat for his date with Vanessa; he knows that she is to him what his mom was for his dad
-Family dinners are the same in every culture
-Awkwardness of long-time friends going on a date
-Vanessa offers Usnavi his first drink of the night; he thinks that’s what she wants; because why would she want him and only him?
-Usnavi whispering in Vanessa’s ear is so sexy
-Love that Benny is on Nina’s side instead of being mad at her
-I wonder if they thought 5 years of Benny working for Kevin was too much or too little since they changed that line to "all these years"
-Benny’s reactions to Vanessa dancing at the club are hilarious
-Vanessa laughing at Usnavi dancing with someone else
-Nina is always smiling and laughing at the things going on around her; not as self centered
-Nina and Benny dancing at the club=> all of the yeses
-Usnavi is too nervous about being alone with Vanessa that he un-dated himself; he wasn’t quite ready
-Love that they consciously cut all the “Usnavi, help me” parts=> Vanessa is not a victim
-Fireworks are a romantic setting for Sonny and Pete, just saying
-Usnavi/Benny/Nina talking about the fourth member of their square gives me feelings; I need more of these four in fanfic, my dreams
-“I got to wait for Vanessa”=> the stuff dreams are made of
-Benny is such a good person; he’s even better than the original which is what he deserves
-Usnavi is relieved to have Vanessa call his name
-“Don’t walk away from us tonight”=> great addition
-To give Usnavi and Vanessa some of Nina and Benny’s original lines is to see the face of God
-The first time I saw this, I’m ashamed to admit, I thought Benny was going to steal money from the dispatch; I was a fool
-Dancer with fireworks on his shoes
-Benny is smart and good; he isn’t doing this for Kevin or Nina but for the people of New York
-Abuela was able to see stars again on the last night of her life

-Abuela’s family is her “fireworks”; they are what light up the Heights
-Sonny came to Usnavi instead of being with his dad during the blackout; his real family
-Abuela’s smile as she looks at her family while reflecting on her childhood is the most beautiful thing there will ever be

-Usnavi and Nina crying together
-Those closest to Abuela are inside and everyone else is outside
-Iris was sitting on the outside and now she’s in the middle; needed comfort from her friends
-“Should we take a break?”=> we’re past the point of an intermission
-“No daddy, keep going”=> does this look like a stage production to you? It’s a fucking movie
-There isn’t a clear point for an intermission; the action stays strong over where the intermission should be; this is a movie, not a play, and movies don’t have intermissions
-Everyone’s holding candles; like the stars Abuela loved so much
-Iris called Usnavi Daddy for the first time because that was the point in the story where he needed to hear that the most
-“I thought about the people I care about the most, I thought about you”
-Anthony makes Usnavi sexy in a way Lin never could
-So many people love Vanessa, but no one better than Usnavi
-Abuela paid to have Camila's napkins cleaned after all

-Vanessa listed no emergency contacts even though she had people
-“That’s senorita to you”=> yes girl, get it
-Love Daniela for getting everyone out of their asses
-“Tonteria” means foolishness=> the more you know
-How fast Carla says no to “ask me why” shows how quickly she wants to please her love
-Usnavi’s Nueva York t-shirt=> I need it
-Daniela’s first effect being on a woman whose hair is terrible
-Carla pushing that man away from her woman with a bullshit excuse
-My friend was laughing at the parts that were meant to be jokes
-Usnavi’s entrance being announced in Carnaval del Barrio; just like Benny in the opening song
-“There’s nothing holding me down”=> assuming he was rejected
-The different communities dancing with their flags
-Nina being part of Carnaval del Barrio is great
-Even Kevin, kind of an old man, can get down
-Since Nina and Benny sex scene wasn’t shown on screen (praise Jesus), I have to assume Nina told Daniela even though she knows she’s a huge gossip
-Everyone stops because Sonny, a kid, starts singing
-Vanessa and Sonny are so powerful together
-Vanessa’s hand on Sonny’s shoulder
-A kid providing Usnavi with the “flag I’ve got in my hand”
-Usnavi and Vanessa dancing together is muy romantico
-Everything about Nina’s appearance in “When the Sun Goes Down”
-“Let me just listen to my block”=> peak Nina
-Abuela wrote “for Usnavi” on her lotto ticket 😭

-Iris understanding all of the little details of her father’s store now that she knows his story
-Iris is the goddess of the rainbow like the light that appears when water appears on a sunlit day
-“Man, you talk forever”=> that’s so “How I Met Your Mother”
-Iris has a necklace of seashells, like the islands
-Vanessa would sooner get wet than let go of Usnavi’s hand

I watched a bootleg of In the Heights because of course I did but I don’t think I was supposed to come out of it shipping Usnavi/Benny, lol. I mean, I ship Usnavi/Vanessa and Benny/Nina too! (Damn those were some hot kisses.) But yeah... really feeling the Usnavi/Benny, oops. Also I cried, and LMM continues to be the most adorable, and one day I will get to see the movie. I need the soundtrack immediately, I keep playing it on YouTube. And apparently you can buy the book! And it has pictures from the original production!

Abuela Claudia: The Heart of the Community
Of all of the important people Usnavi introduces in the film, none leave a more lasting impact – on the characters and the audience alike – than Abuela Claudia. Though not related by blood to anyone in the community, she has assumed the role of caregiver to all. For Usnavi, she quite literally becomes family to him, raising him after the death of his parents. Abuela Claudia is the heart and soul of the community, cooking dinners for her found family, telling stories about those that came before, and, perhaps most importantly, supporting everyone's sueñitos unconditionally, especially when they need it most. In her article, “Resisting Gentrification in Quiara Alegría Hudes and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s ‘In The Heights’ and Ernesto Quiñonez’s ‘Bodega Dreams’”, Gabriela Cázares poignantly writes that Abuela Claudia “literally functions as a vital artery that delivers life to the barrio community” (101). She simultaneously keeps the culture of Washington Heights alive while encouraging her chosen family to reach their full potential. The story she tells Nina about “assert[ing] our dignity in small ways [...] Little details that tell the world we are not invisible” highlights the resiliency the community is capable of, even in the face of hardship (In The Heights 19:36-19:52)
The love that Abuela Claudia has for her community is reciprocated in smaller moments throughout the film, such as the dinner party pictured above, or the gathering at her apartment during the blackout. The true magnitude of her impact on the community as a whole only comes to light after her death, however. Scores of her neighbors walk down the street holding candles, congregating outside of her apartment while singing “Alabanza” (In The Heights 1:30:30-1:32:35). It’s a powerful moment of recognition for the matriarch of their community.
The day before Usnavi is set to leave for the Dominican Republic, he is surprised to discover that Abuela Claudia had been the lottery winner. In one final act of selfless love, she’d written “For Usnavi” across the top of the ticket. Like Abuela Claudia, Usnavi’s first thought is not what that money would do for him – but how it would help Sonny. He hires a lawyer to work on getting citizenship for Sonny and put the remaining money into a trust fund for Sonny’s future. Abuela Claudia’s legacy lives on in the hearts of the community as they perform their own acts of selflessness to care for the ones they love.

Lore
Emmanuelle Nicholaides was once a human who died of sexual assault. She became a succubus after the Demon of Lust, Asmodeus, saw her potential. Humans summon her to make their dreams come true, in exchange of their souls. Emmanuelle eats off these human souls after reserved for a hundred days. Once she gobbles it up, the human body slowly dies.
Emmanuelle then met a powerful man during her peak of being a succubus. She seduced him to fall head over heels for her, before she used his connections to get herself more food. One normal day at his place, Emmanuelle was sucked into a portal while she was taking a shower. She then came to the present world without her succubus powers, but still with her beauty and prowess. She then saw a poster of a few Vtubers who's beauty can be compared to her.
Emmanuelle thought to herself that maybe she could use the media to seduce more people and get herself more food, as well as to earn money to fend off her living expenses.
