Resenha: Para Sir, Com Amor, de Lauren Layne

Livro: Para Sir, Com Amor Volume Único Autora: Lauren Layne Gênero: Romance Contemporâneo Ano de Publicação: 2021 Editora: Paralela Páginas: 286 Classificação: +16

Sim, sim, eu peguei este livro por causa da música da Lulu e eu realmente tenho que dizer que não estou desapontada, já que - assim como a música - se tornou um favorito e deixou um sentimento caloroso em meu coração.

Gracie Cooper é romântica da maneira mais literal possível. Romântica tipo "procurando O cara". Romântica do tipo "a vida é um conto de fadas". Mas não há nenhum tipo de romance real em sua vida ultimamente. Como filha do meio, Gracie sempre foi aquela que resolve problemas e conflitos. Então, quando seu pai morre e deixa uma loja de champanhe para que seus filhos continuem o legado familiar, é ela quem assume a responsabilidade sozinha. Ela desistiu de estudar arte no exterior para dirigir o negócio enquanto seus irmãos viviam suas vidas. Mas mesmo que ela tenha tentado tornar a loja mais lucrativa, as coisas não está indo muito bem. Focada apenas em como resolver este problema, a vida amorosa de Gracie é quase inexistente. Quase. Há um cara que ela "conheceu" em um aplicativo de namoro, mas não sabe seu nome verdadeiro ou sua aparência. Ele atende por "Sir" enquanto ela é simplesmente "Lady" e eles vêm trocando mensagens há algum tempo. Acontece que "Sir" tem uma namorada e acabou neste aplicativo porque um amigo criou o perfil dele. Mesmo com os obstáculos, Gracie está se apaixonando por ele e ela sabe disso. Ela nunca se conectou com alguém como com ele. Ela sabe que ele pode ser O cara. É por isso que quando vê Sebastian Andrews pela primeira vez na rua, ela fica confusa. O que Gracie sentiu quando o viu foi muito próximo do que ela esperava sentir quando encontrasse O cara. Só que esse "cara" está oferecendo a ela uma boa quantia de dinheiro para arruinar o legado da família que ela tanto lutou para preservar.

Ela nunca desgostou de alguém como desgosta dele. “Para Sir, com Amor” é um romance apaixonante que mantém você desejando que o casal fique junto desde o primeiro momento. Mostra também a importância de viver para si e para os seus sonhos e que isso não é egoísmo. A escrita de Layne é tão engraçada e descontraída, faz você querer desesperadamente se apaixonar e realmente acreditar em relacionamentos sinceros e significativos, mesmo quando o mundo está se tornando tão ... impessoal. Eu me apaixonei por cada um dos personagens deste livro, sua personalidade, seu estilo, tudo ... Tentei saborear cada capítulo lentamente, mas cheguei ao ponto que tive que sentar e continuar até o fim. Agora estou feliz porque foi uma leitura maravilhosa. E também estou triste porque já estou com saudades deles. Foi meu primeiro contato com algo de Layne, mas tenho certeza que não será o último. "Para Sir, com Amor" foi lançado no Brasil pela Editora Paralela com a capa abaixo:

Title: Meeting The Niece Synopsis: Matthew went to Layne and Oliver's cottage to meet his newborn baby niece for the first time. With: @laynebaudelaire @oliver-sereno

Given that Ollie didn't have any blood relatives in town, he was beyond excited to get to introduce Addie to his friends and Layne's family. Matty was top of the list (being an Uncle), and Oliver couldn't wait for him to meet their little one. It had been a hard couple of weeks - in classic newborn fashion Addie's sleep pattern was irregular, and both Layne and Oliver were exhausted. But none of that mattered when he got to hold his little girl, or watch Layne feed her. It was the most incredible feeling to be a dad, something he had wanted for so long and was now getting to live. They'd invited Matty round to meet the little bub, and she had just been fed so was snoozy and cozy in Oliver's arms after being burped, Layne heading to the door as they heard Matthew's familiar knock. "You ready to meet your uncle little one?" he murmured to the baby, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. 

It had been a whirlwind settling back-in to their routine, getting readjusted with a baby, and making time for herself. People truly weren't kidding when they said that your world suddenly shifted towards doing everything possible to keep you newborn happy, healthy, and satisfied. All the gadgets and gizmos still didn't aid with the heightened alertness that Layne had to everything surrounding her daughter. Nonetheless with each passing day it was relatively getting better. What was making up for it was seeing everyone's reaction to Addie. The first on her docket was her family and they had been spending the last hour prepping for Matty's arrival. Opening the door, she embraced her brother into a long needed hug. "Hi stranger. Or shall I say uncle?" she chuckled. "Come on in!" 

Matthew was all smiles when he entered, giving his little younger a warm and crushing embrace -- still not quite aware of his increased strength but since she too was human she'd probably be fine, if anything maybe get the wind squeezed out of her. He had on his proud uncle sweater, felt like a total dweeb but a happy one nonetheless. "Hey there, mommy Layne," he planted a kiss to the top of her hair and finally released her from the embrace. "You guys doing alright? Where's the little one?"

Ollie couldn’t help but giggle as he clocked the sweater, beaming over at Matty as he headed towards where he was sat on the couch. “Hey mate- we’re doing well. Tired! But good,” he nodded, head gesturing down at the little one he held in his arms. “Come and sit next to me- you can hold her if you like. She’s just been fed and changed so she’s very sleepy,” he hummed, beaming down at the baby as he leant in to kiss her forehead.

It was very nice to see Matty. She hadn't realized how much she missed her brothers and their chaotic family. Despite the various stages and journeys they've respectively been on, they were family in the end. "Yeah we're hanging in there," she smirked closing the door behind him as they headed towards the living room. "Addie, you're uncle Matty is here!" Taking a seat in one of the accent chairs. "How are you Matty?"

Matthew followed Layne toward the living room and greeted Ollie with a grin and cautiously sat himself down on the couch beside the new father. He was suddenly overcome with nerves, worried that he might hold her wrong or she might fall apart in his hands. It had been so very long since he'd held a newborn and he felt inexperienced when he was normally meant to be this wiser older brother to help lead his siblings along the path of life, now this was a path that he could not lead. "I'm good," he said to Layne, glancing at her, holding his hands together to warm them up and internally chastised himself for not putting on more lotion to soften up his calloused palms. "Been getting a lot of custom orders for Father's Day coming up. Will have something special for you soon," he said to Ollie, hazel eyes now dropping to the little bundled up baby in her father's arms, "Can I hold her?"

It made Ollie smile to see the man a little nervous, sitting down carefully next to the new father and peering down at the little baby he held in his arms. “Yeah? That’s awesome mate, but don’t worry about me - sounds like you’ve already got your hands full,” he chuckled, although the thought that he could actually celebrate on Father’s Day now made him feel a bit emotional. “Course you can,” he hummed, shifting slightly so that he could turn to face Matty, a hand supporting Addie’s head and neck as he carefully transferred the little bundle over. “There you go- her head will just settle in the crook of your arm… just gotta watch her neck,” he murmured, not wanting to explain things matty already knew but also wanting to make sure his baby was being held properly.

Things had been so busy lately that she hadn't even thought about Father's Day. She'd have to touch base with her brothers later to figure out if they were inclined to do anything for Roman. Things had been dicey, but she was holding out hope that things could go a bit better now that Addie was in the picture. Chuckling at her brother as he took a hold of his niece, Layne couldn't help but smile as she watched her little one squirm momentarily at the sudden shift in her position but relax within seconds in Matty's hand. "Looks like you're a natural! If your elbow gets tired we can always prop a pillow for you too."

Matthew was in disbelief as he held the little infant in his arms. He was actually holding this little bundle of life. "Hey," he found himself naturally trying to talk to the little girl as if she would understand it, voice soft, "Hi." His gaze flicked to his sister but he shook his head cause he figured he'd be fine and he didn't want to risk messing with the precarious balance that was the baby and the fact she hadn't cried out in protest. He was initially quite awkward in the way he held her but soon acclimated, muscle memory kicked in abliet a little rusty and he shifted his position to hold her more comfortably. "Guys, you two did this," he marveled incredulously.

The sight of Addie's uncle holding her so close, his words so soft as he looked down at her, it was enough to make Oliver well up just a little, swiping at his tears with a watery giggle. "I know. Unbelievable. We didn't even mean too, did we bubba? You surprised us huh? Best surprise in the world..." he murmured, stroking a finger over her forehead. "She likes to curl up on your chest if you want to try that? She curls up in the position we think she was in when Layne was pregnant with her," he mused, casting a fond smile in Layne's direction. God he was so in love with her, and with his new little daughter.

"Yeah it's nuts. Sometimes I have a moment where I am like 'Oh shit, I'm a mom now. Like a bonafide mother to a child," she chuckled. It was such a hurdle to overcome in her own mind wanting to be as great as she could remember her own mother being. It was bittersweet having a daughter, but not being able to share that moment with her mom. She knew there would be more moments like this in life, but figured it was best to lean into the blessings around her like Ollie and her brothers. "How's everything been since we left for a bit? How've you been managing with everything?"

Matthew glanced to Ollie, watching him a moment before he carefully made the adjustment so that little Addie was now rested against his chest, his arm and hands holding her supportively behind her back and beneath her. He could feel the little curl of her fingers against his shirt and it made his heart squeeze just a bit in his chest. Matthew didn't want to bring the mood down by talking about what was going on with his best friend still in a coma so he tried to focus on more positive things but found it was difficult to come up with anything. "Uhh.. Yeah, it's been fine. Just, you know, keeping busy."

Now that she was in her favourite position, she curled up against her uncle, her little knees tucking up under her stomach, hand grasping blindly at Matty's shirt. "There you go- she'll sleep on you for hours like that, hope you know you're not moving for a while," he chuckled softly, leaning back into his seat now that he was confident the baby was settled. His arm slipped naturally around Layne as he pressed a kiss to her shoulder and then her temple, enjoying being there with her and her brother. He wasn't convinced by Matty's tone, his brow furrowing slightly as he turned to his brother in law. "Fine? Layne mentioned that you had a friend in hospital - she was admitted when Layne was first admitted after the mist... how is she..?"

Layne wasn't sure how much Matty was going to be one to divulge any information here. The Baudelaires each in their own ways were masters of deception and keeping things internally together as well as they could so that there was no external differences day to day. She could sense he wasn't going to be forthcoming if he didn't want to be and Layne didn't want to push him on it either. "No changes, right?" she said rather shortly hoping to change the conversation for the sake of her brother.

Layne's intuition was correct and Matthew only responded with a slight shake of his head, trying not to disturb the infant as she rested against his chest but also conveying his thoughts in as simple a way as he could. There were no changes, none better and none worse which was better than the alternative in which things could have been worse but not as great as a more positive outcome. "Sooo..." he started to say with the intention of shifting the topic back toward the baby and away from himself, "... do I get first call for baby sitting duties?" 

Oliver realised he had asked too much at Layne's reaction and he flushed slightly, hoping he hadn't made the man uncomfortable. Thankfully Layne seemed to save the situation, Matty able to just shake his head before changing the subject. "Of course mate... it'll be awhile before we can leave her with people though... Layne's breastfeeding, and she's prone to clusterfeeding so we'll see how we go," he explained, eyes dropping to Addie.

"Does first-call mean on-call for emergencies or when I need to go out with my friends?" she chuckled. Layne hadn't even thought about it, but Ollie and her would have to eventually get out of the cottage without their daughter in tow. So far they had been taking turns. When either needed to go out, Addie either went with them or stayed at home with who wanted to stay in. Mostly though, they went out as a trio. "When she's ready for baby food, you'll be the first person we call."

Matthew had no idea what clusterfeeding was but it sounded intense so all he did was nod and chuckle softly, "If you need a baby break and want to go out partying with your friends then you can call me. Happy to help you both however you need it."

Ollie let out a delirious chuckle at the suggestion they'd be partying any time soon - he knew it was a joke but even the thought of having time for anything but Addie was crazy to him. Everything had been about her from the moment she'd been born. Addie let out a squawking cry and then a series of whimpers before breaking into a proper cry, and Ollie shook his head fondly, reaching to take the little girl from her Uncle and pulling himself to his feet so that he could bob a bit to try and soothe her. "Don't take it personally - she's a sensitive wee soul," he reassured Matty, cradling her close to his chest.

"I think that's a great idea Matty," she smiled at her brother for the offer. It was a kind gesture and she would definitely be taking it up for consideration in the coming weeks. As much as she loved Ollie and their little girl, being cooped up in fulfilling this new role as a mother and maintaing that as a fiancé wasn't all that Layne wanted to be. She figured she could master it all and in due time she would. "You two could even start your own special collabs with the pottery. The Matty and Addie edition!" Reaching over for the pacifier, she handed it to Ollie hoping that would help soothe their daughter.

When little Addie started to wail, Matthew was more than happy to give her up to her father, not worried at all that she'd started to cry because that's all babies did at this age. Layne suggestion did give Matty an idea and he nodded, "Yeah, yeah, that's actually a great idea. You'll have to bring her by the studio so she can start getting her hands dirty."

Ollie took the pacifier from Layne with a smile, nudging the rubber tip against Addie's lips. "Cmon bub... that's it- there you go.." he murmured, shoulders relaxing a little once she took to the pacifier, settling almost immediately. "That would be so cute... maybe she'll have the crafty gene? It's going to be so interesting to see what kind of person she turns into. We know she's fae - you see on her back where her wings are just starting"

"I think that sounds like a great idea," she smiled. Whatever her daughter would be interested in, Layne would make sure that her and Ollie supported them wholeheartedly. Perhaps she'd be interested in gardening more than sports, or hanging out at her uncle studio than reading and writing. All she wanted was fo Addie to have the healthiest and diverse upbringing as possible. More than she ever did. "I just like that I'm not the only female in this family anymore." The two of them could certainly keep the men together. "You want something to drink Matty?"

Matthew looked over at the infant as Oliver mentioned she was fae. It was kind of a shock that he hadn't really anticipated. Of course it made sense once he thought about it, Oliver was fae so there was every chance that their child could be born as such, he'd just somehow been under the assumption that she was human just like the rest of them had been when they were born. "Wow, a fae in the family," he marveled in awe then he chuckled at Layne, "Yeah, you're still out numbered but at least you aren't alone anymore." He thought about it for a second before responding, "Coffee? But if it's too much trouble then don't worry about it."

with Addie settled once more, Oliver took his same seat back next to Matty, resting the baby on his chest as his fingers moved to carefully unbutton her onesie, tugging it up gently until the notches on her back were visible. He turned a little so Matty could see, running gentle fingertips over the the beginnings of Addie's wings with a smile. "Just here, see? It's crazy huh? We kinda thought she would be but... not every fae has wings. And... yeah. Oh- it's exciting," he chuckled softly, pulling her onesie down once more to rebutton it.

"Sure, not to worry," she smiled getting up to head to the kitchen as Ollie showed Matty their daughter's wings. The doctor said she would grow into them and the wings with her. She had no idea how she was gonna deal with two faes in the household. That would surely be a whirlwind. "Hey Matty, how's your newfound powers?" she asked as she returned to hand him the coffee and supplemental creamers, milk, and sugar. "Any thoughts to how much longer this is gonna last?" Layne would love to get back to her normal self. Maybe she wouldn't feel as much on edge as she was.

Matthew peered over at the budding wings on the infant's back with awe, leaning closer on the edge of his seat to get a better look once Oliver pointed them out. "Oh yeah, hey, look at that, that's amazing. I've never seen that before." It would be incredible to watch them grow up. "Hm?" He looked away from Addie's back and toward the source of Layne's voice when she asked about his powers, shrugging slightly, "Well, I don't have crazy fire powers like you do. I think I just got faster and stronger," unaware that he had this other ability. "Honestly, I just keep reading the updates in the news but I have no idea how long it's going to last. Doesn't really seem like anyone knows what happened? Or what's going on? Kind of feels like they're more worried about those monster attacks than dealing with the mist now, which, I guess, makes sense."

Jeremy shrugged a little bit, a stiff rise toward his ears as his lips pressed into a firm line looking very much like a disgruntled scowl. He had quite unfortunate features that always tended to look dark and angry when he was only just nervous. He thought a whiteboard might bring more awkward attention to himself, his cell phone being at least a device that everyone tended to carry and so it didn't look oddly if he had it out all the time to refer to in times of need. Of course, he didn't say all that and kept it all in his thoughts.

He gestured again to his phone where he now typed: I don't think Ryden is here. An answer to her previous question.

Because surely if the alpha wolf was he would have emerged by now, his cigarette breaks rarely took this long. What was most likely was that something happened with his partner suddenly or even someone else and his attention was needed elsewhere for being the alpha of a large pack generally meant there was always someone needing something.

"Oh," she said as the realization of their interaction now dawned on her. Now she felt awful for putting them in such a predicament. Clearly him gesturing towards his name earlier and not saying much of anything should have been a clear indicator. At the same time, she wouldn't have thought much about it considering how many of the werewolves in Ryden's pack were a broody bunch. She imagined it was far easier to brush people aside who weren't a part of the pack or push clients onto Ryden to deal with than themselves.

"I'm sorry for the assumption," she said sympathetically. Layne couldn't help but wonder what the cause of it actually was. She genuinely felt bad for misinterpreting the whole situation."Would it not be better to have like a white board with you? So you don't feel uncomfortable with strangers like me?" she offered.

Voiceplay Visuals - Thriller (part 1 of 2)

(The video isn't a two-parter, but this analysis is! You can find part two HERE, but there'll also be a link at the bottom of this post!) VoicePlay's cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller was released to YouTube on the 12th of October, 2024 (and/or on the 11th - you know how it works), and features the one and only J None, back again with the group! Actually, in case you haven't fully realised it yet, of the 4 Halloween videos that VP has done since he stopped being a permanent member, J has returned for 3 out of 4 of them! (The exception being 2022's Hide And Seek/Ding Dong, ft. Lauren Paley). Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this might be the first time Voiceplay has covered two songs by the same artist in the same year? The first obviously being The Way You Make Me Feel (which has been submitted for consideration to be maybe nominated for a Grammy in two categories!?!) But anyway, I don't wanna get off-topic, and of course I'm not actually here to talk about the music/vocals/arrangement (I did that in a separate post which you can find HERE); I'm here to talk about everything happening on screen! And boy is there a lot to talk about, such that I very quickly realised I would absolutely have to make two posts in order to mention everything (like what I did for Classical Chaos). So enough of my introductory yapping, Let's Get Into This!

Introductory shot! Actually this was the video thumbnail that Patrons got for early access (though I hit play without even looking at it anyway), so we went in way more blind than the rest of y'all did!

The moon lamp once again making an appearance in the background! Geoff first got it for his Jack's Lament video, and then VoicePlay used it for Classical Chaos earlier this year. Also I wouldn't be surprised if some of those gravestones were reused from Jack's Lament as well tbh. (And trees possibly from Be Prepared and/or Classical Chaos?)

Oh yeah and maybe you might see something on the floor behind Cesar's legs? Don't worry about it, it's probably nothing! 😉 😝

(More below the cut!)

J sings "under the moonlight...", and Cesar turns to look back at the moon! (And Layne turns his head as well)

Also the beam of light coming from the top left area shining down to the centre of the floor reminds me of the similar lighting effect from Song Of Durin ngl (as always, Eli was credited with lighting for this one - shocker to no one, and he always kills it every time!)

Also quick comment on the clothing, I like how they're all wearing black and red, but with each with their own take on it. Layne has red shoes (so does J), Cesar has red plaid pants, and J, Eli, and Geoff all have red shirts (and J has red and black trousers (or whatever they are), and Geoff has ripped jeans with red showing through underneath). And of course it's always nice when Geoff is wearing an actual proper colour other than blue! 😁😝

Not fully a visuals thing but I forgot to put it in my musical thoughts/commentary post - I like how Eli sings "you're paralysed!" and then the background vocals sing "you're para-!" but they din't finish the word, as if they've been stopped, or rather paralysed midway through singing! And this is highlighted in the video by Cesar here, so it is still kinda a visual thing as well!

Hey I think that person figure thing on the ground behind Cesar and Layne has gotten closer! It's still probably nothing though, it's fine /j

Actually nevermind, it's not fine - watch out Layne!!!

On my first watch-through of this video on Patreon, I mostly just watched it start to finish without stopping. The only two times I paused were right at the start to take in the starting shot and kind of "psych myself up" to get through the rest of it (again, not knowing anything about the video), and then I rewound a few seconds and paused to try and get a better look at who this zombie person was. And then I stayed paused for like a hot minute while I absolutely died laughing because omg KATHY!!!!! 😂🤣🤣

*YEET*

(Oh the genuine delights of frame-by-frame scrubbing 😂)

So here's some BTS info for you: Geoff was in charge of the production and direction of this video (and song arrangement) (though Tony also helped out with direction too), and apparently his initial idea was for Zombie!Kathy to "bite" Layne's leg, and then just make a face or something as if he tasted bad, and then crawl away or whatever. It was Kathy who had the idea of what actually happens in the video! Geoff wasn't sure at first, but she told Layne the idea and he loved it, and yeah it was absolutely hilarious - definitely VoicePlay Brand Of Dumb (affectionate).

Also you don't really see anything of the ""body double"" that Layne kicks away, but VoicePlay (Geoff specifically I'm presuming) decided to credit 'her' in the description: "Flying Stunt Zombie - Greta The Gruesome" 😂 (Kathy meanwhile is credited as "Production Manager and Floor Zombie")

And also despite being hardly seen, VoicePlay and crew put effort into making Kathy and the doll "Greta" (bought from a Spirit Halloween store inside the same mall as Pattycake Studios) look like each other! Kathy has since posted a couple pics from the videoshoot with her and "Greta" in full makeup and costuming on her Instagram - Here's a link!

Cesar is Concerned (and/or confused, lol)

And so yeah, Kathy was on the floor at the back right from the start! (Though I didn't notice her there at first till the second time around.) Kinda like Geoff's Monster Mash video in that regard! (someone on the Discord server (I believe it was Huldra?) made a joke about this being the result of Narrator/Scientist!Geoff's creation going horribly wrong, lol)

You doing alright there Layne?

*AAAAAAHHHH...*

*...CHOOOO!*

(Oof, rip Cesar!)

Also kinda neat how the lights change back to red right on Layne's sneeze (momentarily going purple in between as well!)

So not only did Eli maybe get some in his eye, or at least almost do so, but Cesar's wiping his sneezed-on hands on him!

Eli: Cesar dude what the heck? Cesar: Hey don't blame me! Layne was the one that sneezed in the first place!

Not exactly an air guitar, but Geoff does kinda look like he's playing some sort of invisible instrument here and it's low-key intriguing to me

A very quick sideways head/neck jerk from Cesar - the first warning sign that the zombie-ness has spread to him as well!

Yep, now it's Cesar's turn!

Shoutout to Cesar's gold painted nails! Very pretty!

And also shoutout to Layne's acting/movements in this video! In most VoicePlay videos you'll likely notice that he has "self-conducting" movements in a similar way to what Geoff does, and you might even notice similar hand movements across multiple videos. But in this video, from the moment he starts looking a bit more sickly/"zombie-like", his movements change a little as well - looking a bit more jerky and stuff, and he seems to mostly be keeping his hands open and flat like in this picture here - less bending of fingers or any sort of fluid "drumming" motions (maybe meant to represent a bit of growing rigor mortis?)

I only just thought of the rigor mortius idea/"theory" just before, and then we get this ~2 second group shot at the start of the bridge section, and Layne barely moves, despite there still being audible percussion - it definitely seems like a deliberate choice! (He's still beatboxing, or at least lip-syncing to it, but it's rare that he keeps his body so still in a video while he's still doing percussion)

Watch out Eli - I think you're next!

*Pfft* rip he's gone

(Cesar in the BTS video: "Can I go for his head?" Geoff: "If he consents to it")

"Well that's not good"

"They're out to get you..."

Geoff isn't the only person to look directly at the camera/viewer in the video, but the verse he does here definitely feels the most like an actual warning, especially with the way he conveys it on screen here, and I guess it lines up nicely with him doing the monologue later. (Also low-key "close all the windows, lock the doors, unless you're careful he'll get yours" vibes ngl)

(Oh and necklace spotted!)

Also this bit low-key reminds me of the end of VoicePlay's Running Up That Hill video, after Ashley levitates and everyone else is just practically frozen, moving only their eyes (and mouths)

Oh no Geoff watch out!!!

(But also goddamn why does he look so good here? Like even with the hands and everything, almost looks like a freaking painting!)

Honestly I find Geoff's bit here really interesting - he's concerned/worried, but he doesn't actually look massively terrified, and he doesn't look like he's ready to run or fight. Like maybe he's almost already accepted the fact that he's next, and it's just a matter of how and when?

(That'd kinda sorta line up with the This Is Halloween video actually, in that everyone is slowly turning into creepy monsters, and Geoff appears to be the one least resistant to it (yes this video can be connected to a lot of other VoicePlay/Geoff videos, and I love it))

(Oh and I gotta give my love to his grey-white parts of Geoff's hair - truly this man ages like fine wine <3)

Not the hair!!!

And down he goes!

(And literally, he was in fact pulled straight downwards! Bent the legs, and Cesar and Layne helped support his weight so he didn't topple straight down - it was kinda amusing to see it happen in the BTS video ngl)

One last thing I will point out is that the jump across to J following this bit is actually not a cut or some fancy transition edit - Geoff's section to J's section is one continuous shot. But with that being said, this is still where I'm cutting this post off, because it's the halfway point (not counting the credits), and I've hit image limit! (I had to remove two images here to make it work but otherwise I managed!) Go find part 2 HERE!

Oiii, booklovers!

Em primeiro lugar, esse post aqui não é pra divulgar promoções (não tenho dinheiro, logo sou super desinformada nesse sentido), mas sim uma booktag aproveitando o tema do momento.

Porém, normalmente nos canais do Insta das contas literárias tem bastante divulgação de promoções, então se alguém estiver interessado, sugiro dar uma olhada e entrar num deles 🙃

Mas enfim, vamos pra booktag pra não ficar quilométrico kkkkkkkkk

✨| Sonho de consumo - Livro/box mais desejado

Eu não sei se já citei o meu maior sonho de consumo literário (provavelmente), mas com certeza é o Box de Sherlock Holmes da Harper Collins. Comprei Morte no Nilo (aquele da coleção das edições "arco-íris" da Agatha Christie) por esses dias e o livro é lindo. Se eu compro esse Box do Sherlock, acho que choro de felicidade kkkkkkkk

Sério, venho namorando a página dele na Amazon há uns três anos.

✨| Cadê a promoção? - Nunca abaixa o preço

Aqui eu colocaria todos os hypados da minha wishlist, mas vou desconsiderar, já que teve uma "promoção" (ou seja, de 55-52 reais foi para 48-44, o que pra mim ainda é caro. Tipo, por que eu deveria dar o valor de quase dois livros num só? Pela honra de ter ele na estante?).

Nesse caso, vou citar Uma História de Amor Agridoce. Ele era até barato uns tempos atrás, porém de repente aumentou e nunca mais baixou. Quase ngm fala desse livro, então é meio "?????". A única boa notícia é que, aparentemente, vem com brinde.

~ podem me chamar de mão de vaca, mas eu sou adolescente e mal pego em dinheiro. Pra quem trabalha a situação tbm não tá muito melhor, considerando os preços das coisas hoje.

✨| Pague 1, leia 2x - Já li, mas quero o físico

Tenho vivido de e-books nos últimos quatro anos, então existem vááááários que se encaixam nessa categoria kkkkkkkkrying

Queria comprar Namorado de Aluguel/A Distância que nos Separa da Kasie West, todos os que li da Marissa Meyer e da Kézia Garcia, Um Amor para Recordar e completar minha coleção do Sherlock.

✨| Nem de graça - Não quero nem de graça

Saio daqui viva se responder "qualquer um da Ali Hazelewood"? Kkkkkk

Vcs sabem que não gosto de hot. Uma vez eu tava bem plena no Insta e apareceu um trecho de A Hipótese do Amor (era um tweet). Li o comecinho sem saber do que se tratava e acabei traumatizada.

✨| Desconto duvidoso - 50% de chance de comprar e se arrepender

Morro de medo de comprar Para Sir, com Amor (Lauren Layne) e não gostar. Por isso ele vive indo e voltando na wishlist.

✨| Deu bug? - Quero de presente

Única resposta certa: quero todos de presente 🙂

✨| Queima de estoque - Indicação de um livro do meu gênero favorito

Vou me segurar pra não panfletar A Menina que Roubava Livros pela milésima vez kkkkkkk

Vamos de "leitura recente" com Nos Vemos em Vênus. É um livro curto, meio parecido com Amor & Gelato (ótimo pra quem gosta de livros com viagem) e tem um romance fofinho. Se vc estiver numa ressaca literária, acho que ele tbm pode te ajudar 🫶🏻✨

Enfim gnt, é isso!

Bjs e boas leiturassss <333

It had been a relief to see that not all the changes after the mist were negative - Layne still required a lot of rest and her body wasn’t particularly comfortable, but she had more energy than before, and she was doing really well. Oliver couldn’t help but feel a swell of pride rise in him at her words - she was so resilient, never letting anything upset her. She took it all in her stride, and Oliver would never stop being in awe of her for it. “Yeah, how’ve you been Rosie? I’ve- I’ve found it hard. I can’t- I can’t hear the plants anymore,” he admitted softly, brow creasing at the very thought.

A shiver of pleasure ran down her spine as Layne’s delicate fingertips traced over the soft dip at the nape of his neck, leaning into the touch. “If they look anything like their mama they’re going to be a heartbreaker,” he smiled softly, pressing another blind kiss to her shoulder. “Oh, I hope so. We’ll force the garden on them either way,” he chuckled softly, casting a fond smile in Layne’s direction. Everything Layne felt he agreed with - they’d spent hours talking about how they wanted to raise their child. They wanted to create a safe and accepting environment so that their child could be whoever they wanted to be, and could express their emotions freely. It felt good to be so in sync with his fiancé about these things, and he couldn’t wait to begin.

Ollie tensed slightly at Rosita’s question, looking over at his fiancé. She seemed fine with it, and he relaxed once more, hand on her lower back to provide her with a little support as she pulled herself to her feet, moving towards Rosita. 

"Both, it must be stressful." She first said, eyes wide. She couldn't imagine having to give birth to someone and then being stuck with them forever, but...It wasn't about her. She thought that maybe it wasn't gonna help them feel better. People often told her that pointing out how horrible other people's situations was wasn't helpful at all. She didn't care what people thought, didn't care often when she made them feel worse, but she cared about the couple she was hanging out with right now. "I mean, it's exciting that the baby is coming soon." She said and really meant it. Ollie knew she could never lie and it was probably the first time that she showed real interest. Well, she did a little at the baby shower too. It was about damn time, two weeks before the birth...Better late than never. "I can't wait to see who the baby is most gonna look like." She was impatient to see a baby who might have her best friend's smile or eyes. Layne was also really pretty, this baby was probably going to be the cutest to her. Well, obviously. She wasn't going to be around any other baby. "You're adorable together." She said, she couldn't believe they didn't do that more often. Well, she knew why, she knew Oliver had asked before and she told him no, but she hadn't been a good friend. She needed to accept that things were changing. She could always be the person she was, go out and spend time with this little family too. She didn't need to be dramatic about it and act like she was the one who was about to have no life to take care of a little one. "This is the weirdest question I ever asked in my whole life and i'm sure you're tired of it, but can I touch your belly?" She asked Layne, she never spent much time around any pregnant person, it felt special to know that the little baby she would meet in a couple of weeks was now in Layne's belly, hearing them. @oliver-sereno @laynebaudelaire

@naciela : Sir, she is the queen of making hottest characters and this syndrome is so bad that I would have to name a whole list of family whom I like 😭. But for now, I would stick to two of her characters. That is, Li Shui and Raafa.

@kumaronoa : KAI!!!! KAI!!!!! KAI!!!!!

HE IS THE ICON! THE LEGEND! THE MOMENT HIMSELF!!!

and he has a free pass of stepping on me fr. Jen is a legend herself. Good art but also good characters?! Get a load of her!

@babufactory : They are also one of the artist friends whom I really enjoy. I have watched their streams and it's honestly a vibe jam. Of course, I would have to go with Nielh as my favourite. They are a very well-written and sexy character and I love that so damn much.

I mean, yes! Juni's characters are very deep and likeable. I like how much love and effort she puts in all of her characters. It's very intresting and enjoyable to watch them through their stories how they bloom and wilt and bloom bigger than ever! If you are to search ‘character development' in urban dictionary, Juni's name is ought to be there.

@the-soupiest-artist : I!!! ABSOLUTELY!!! ADORE!!! HER!!!! CHARACTER!!! DESIGNS!!!!

There is just something about her art that really draws me in. It's not only the character development but also I love how enthusiastic Layne is! And honestly it would pain me to choose a favourite out of her characters. But if I'm very obliged to, I would take the horny bastard, Sebastièn.

@honey-para : That priest dude from the unholy trinity? He has my heart, sir. He can step on me and drown me in holy water, I will not complain.

Pink Floyd - 1967: The First 3 Singles. 04/08/1997

1967: The First Three Singles es una recopilación de edición limitada de Pink Floyd que fue publicada en 1997 para conmemorar el 30 aniversario de la banda. Incluye los primeros tres sencillos junto con sus respectivos lados-B, que fueron en su mayoría escritos por el entonces líder de la banda, Syd Barrett. Arnold Layne alcanzó el número 20 en las listas, mientras que See Emily Play llegó al número 6, su sencillo de mayor éxito hasta lo que sería Another Brick in the Wall (Parte 2) en 1979. Apples and Oranges fue ampliamente pasado por alto, con Roger Waters culpando sus bajas ventas debido a la mala producción. Paint Box también había sido lanzado junto con Arnold Layne y See Emily Play en el álbum de recopilación Relics. The Scarecrow también fue incluido en el álbum debut de la banda, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. La portada del álbum incluye el arte original que fue publicado en cada uno de los sencillos. Arnold Layne y See Emily Play fueron después incorporados al que sería el siguiente álbum de recopilación; Echoes (2001).

Nível: 04 Twitter: @olp_lucas Fraternidade: N/A Ocupação: Funcionário + Professor de Zoomitologia e Fundamentos de Ecologia da biodiversidade divina.

Qualidades: Determinado, Carismático e Compassivo. Defeitos:  Impulsivo, Dificuldade em controlar o temperamento e Desatenção. Plots de interesse: Todos.

Biografia:

Lucas Braxton Keene, nascido em 27 de agosto de 1993 na ilha caribenha de Barbados, na Paróquia de Saint Michael, mais especificamente na capital Bridgetown, é filho de Janete Layne, uma afro-americana de 45 anos, que se mudou para Barbados fugindo de sua família conservadora. Ela é uma mulher solteira, costureira, que conseguiu criar o filho sem ajuda de ninguém. Em muitas ocasiões, ela deixou de comer para garantir que Lucas tivesse o suficiente. Ela conta que o pai dele, um grande pescador, desapareceu em uma tempestade, mas evita falar sobre o assunto, escondendo o segredo da identidade do pai.

Lucas era uma criança tranquila, doce e gentil. Ele ajudava sua mãe em seu trabalho e raramente questionava a ausência paterna. Demonstrou ser uma criança promissora na escola devido à sua inteligência e se destacava nos esportes aquáticos.

Por volta dos 8 anos, Lucas teve visões enquanto entrava em contato com a água da piscina. Uma delas era a aparição de um grande cavalo emergindo do mar e trazendo consigo uma tempestade.

Na infância, ele foi apelidado de "peixinho" devido à sua afinidade com a água. Conforme crescia, Lucas encontrou na natação uma válvula de escape. Com o tempo, ganhou força e músculos, destacando-se como uma promessa na natação, vencendo campeonatos e trazendo troféus e medalhas interestaduais para casa. Uma bolsa na universidade parecia cada vez mais ao alcance. No entanto, aos 14 anos, as experiências estranhas que tinha quando criança retornaram. Uma voz misteriosa falava com ele quando estava na água, que parecia se comportar de maneira diferente quando ele estava por perto. Lucas manteve esses eventos em segredo, escondendo de sua mãe, que sempre foi sua maior confidente.

Por causa dos eventos que marcaram sua vida, Lucas acabou se aproximando de um grupo de adolescentes problemáticos na busca por um senso de pertencimento. Essa busca deu origem a uma transformação, levando o que antes era considerado uma criança prodígio a se tornar um adolescente problemático. Ele começou a beber cedo e escondido, a se envolver em pequenos furtos e atos de vandalismo, como uma forma de lidar com as complexidades e os segredos que carregava. A influência desses amigos o levou por um caminho desafiador, colocando à prova a força de sua personalidade e sua capacidade de superação.

Em uma noite, durante um lual na praia com amigos, Lucas entrou no mar alcoolizado e foi arrastado pelas ondas. Seus amigos escaparam, mas ele foi levado. Em meio ao desespero, teve um encontro sobrenatural. Um homem com um olhar que transmitia uma aura diferente o segurou pela mão e revelou ser seu pai, Poseidon. O jovem estava incrédulo, especialmente porque conseguia respirar debaixo d'água. Ele considerou inicialmente aquilo como uma alucinação causada pelo álcool enquanto se afogava. Seu pai lhe disse várias coisas e lhe deu um presente, um cordão feito de conchas e ouro puro.

Dias depois, Lucas foi encontrado em uma praia distante. Sua mãe sofreu imensamente durante os três dias de seu desaparecimento. Ele repetia em gemidos: "Eu descobri quem é meu pai." Todos consideraram aquilo delírio, mas sua mãe decidiu contar a história, suspeitando que Poseidon pudesse estar envolvido.

Aos 16 anos, Lucas decidiu ir para um instituto para aprender mais sobre sua herança divina e seu pai. Apesar de sua aparência durona e ameaçadora, ele é uma pessoa engraçada, carismática e extremamente popular. Seu riso alto é ouvido a quilômetros de distância, e ele sempre está pronto para contar uma piada. No entanto, ele também esconde alguns segredos e uma imaturidade inata, tornando-o uma figura cativante e única.

Depois de passar por um período conturbado e cheio de desafios durante a adolescência, Lucas finalmente caiu em si. A influência negativa de seus amigos problemáticos o fez perceber que aquele não era o caminho que ele queria seguir. Determinado a mudar de vida, ele buscou ajuda e apoio para superar seus problemas com álcool e comportamento delinquente.

Com um forte desejo de honrar seus pais e seguir sua paixão pela biologia e pela natureza, Lucas dedicou-se intensamente aos estudos no Instituto. Onde, futuramente, se formaria com honras em Ciências Biológicas e em Biologia Transdimensional e Intersobrenatural.

Sua jornada de autorredescoberta e superação o levou a se interessar por áreas da biologia ainda mais complexas. Ele se especializou em Biologia Transdimensional e Intersobrenatural, onde explorou os mistérios da vida em todas as suas formas. Seu comprometimento e dedicação aos estudos o levaram a concluir um mestrado e doutorado nessa área, tornando-se um especialista reconhecido.

Atualmente, Lucas encontrou seu lugar como professor no Instituto, onde compartilha seu conhecimento e paixão com jovens estudantes ávidos por aprender. Ele não apenas superou seu passado conturbado, mas também se tornou uma fonte de inspiração para aqueles que desejam explorar os limites da biologia e desvendar os segredos da natureza divina. Sua jornada é uma prova de que, mesmo nas situações mais difíceis, é possível encontrar redenção, transformação e sucesso.

Habilidades:

1. Hidrocinese básica: Assim como esperado dos filhos de Poseidon, deus dos mares, ele é capaz de controlar ou absorver o elemento água. É necessário ter uma fonte de água próxima, já que nesse nível inicial não é capaz de gerar água. Ao absorver a água, algumas feridas não profundas poderão ser curadas.

2. Ecolocalização: Ele terá a capacidade de conhecer o ambiente a seu redor através da ecolocalização, do mesmo modo que morcegos e golfinhos. Isso significa ouvir ondas sonoras refletidas nos objetos. Algumas variações do poder incluem a produção de uma onda sonora que passará pelo ambiente e será refletida. Outras variações não necessitam de nenhum som extra, apenas o som do ambiente é capaz de criar uma imagem em 3D razoavelmente completa do ambiente, também conhecido como sentido sonar. A onda sonar atinge um raio de 30 metros.

3. Poderes Herdados I: Herdando a natureza do pai, tem autoridade divina em falar com eqüinos e criaturas do mar, principalmente de tratá-los com respeito. Consegue nadar mais rápido que a maioria das pessoas ou campistas, além de poder respirar debaixo d'água. Sendo assim, pode cair de grandes alturas, desde que caia na água não sofrerá nenhum dano. Ele também adquire resistência a ataques psíquicos, tais como persuasão, ilusionismo, dentre outras.

4. Detectar vida: Com esta habilidade, ele é capaz de sentir qualquer forma de vida que estiver próxima ou saber se uma pessoa está viva ou não em um raio de 1km.

5. Dor púrpura: Lucas é capaz de atribuir a si mesmo, toxinas presentes em seres marítimos. Sendo assim, agora pode “envenenar” utilizando-se do toque e é independente de água para isso. Entretanto, a habilidade demanda muita concentração e tem efeito reduzido em semideuses e criaturas de nível superior ao dele.

6. Poderes Herdados II: Herdando a natureza do pai, torna-se mais resistente a ataques de elemento fogo, podendo atravessar chamas ou tocar em lava sem receber danos muito grandes, desde que o contato seja breve. O mesmo também pode entrar na água e sair sem se molhar, a não ser que deseje. É capaz de criar pequenas bolhas ao difundir o oxigênio de água que servem como máscaras de respiração para amigos.

7. Manipulação de sangue: Como as células sanguíneas são 55% do plasma sanguíneo, que por sua vez chega a 95% de água, o semideus pode controlar sangue através do seu teor de água. Isso permite que ele controle o alvo e até congele ou desidrate o seu sangue. A habilidade exige muita concentração e se limita a um alvo por vez. Desgasta muito o filho de Poseidon, pois demanda energia e concentração, por isso se ele usar por mais de trinta minutos, pode ocorrer exaustão e até desmaios.

8. Fluxo de veneno: O filho de Poseidon consegue limpar e purificar a água a partir do toque, livrando-a de venenos e de quaisquer partículas indesejáveis, assim como também é capaz de dar propriedades tóxicas a ela, porém, somente, podendo atribuir venenos ou toxinas de animais marinhos. A habilidade exige concentração e toque direto entre a água e a pele do usuário, podendo ser extremamente exaustiva se a quantidade de água for em grande quantidade.

9. Chuva Púrpura (Purple rain - Prince): A prole de Poseidon é capaz de combinar a toxicidade de algumas criaturas marinhas com as gotículas de água presentes no ar ao seu redor, após isso, pode multiplicar tal elemento e criar um nevoeiro e até uma pequena chuva no ambiente que ele estiver. Dura por vinte minutos, caso haja uma pequena chuva a energia do semideus é bastante drenada.

10. Manipulação Psionica da Vida Marinha: Ele terá a capacidade de alterar a evolução de uma criatura marinha, podendo até mesmo transformar um ser marinho herbívoro e dócil, em um ser carnívoro e violento. Entretanto, consegue utilizar a habilidade em apenas 2 criaturas, passando disso, por demandar muita energia psíquica, o semideus é capaz de desmaiar com a dor de cabeça gerada.

11. Hidrocinese avançada: Ele é capaz de controlar, gerar ou absorver o elemento água. É possível fazer a água escoar pelo ar, criar esferas de água cheias de pressão, cortar objetos com a água como se a mesma fosse uma lâmina afiada, dominar a umidade e até gerar altas marés, ondas e tsunamis, além de em níveis muito avançados poder converter água liquida em gelo ou vapor e vice-versa, controlando o gelo e as nuvens ou a neblina. Ainda que seja uma habilidade avançada, caso realize grandes feitos insistentemente gera grande exaustão ao semideus, principalmente nas mãos, sendo impossibilitado de usar sua hidrocinese por 3 horas.

12. “Fica frio aí!”: Por estar ligada a Hidrocinese, ele terá a capacidade de reduzir a energia cinética dos átomos e assim reduzir a temperatura, frequentemente usada para controlar, gerar ou absorver gelo. Podendo congelar qualquer coisa ou emitir frio. A habilidade pode causar queda de temperatura corporal no semideus caso tenha seu limite ultrapassado.

13. “Estou fourteen”: Poseidon também é descrito, na mitologia, como detentor de uma grande força física, sendo os semideuses deste deus ao longo da história também dotados desta força descomunal. O semideus em questão possui grande força física, mesmo que não possua músculos definidos como lutadores profissionais. É naturalmente forte e consegue se sair bem em lutas físicas por conta disso.

14. Terremoto: Sendo filho do deus dos terremotos, Lucas é capaz de provocar terremotos no solo. Os abalos sísmicos dependem da força do semideus, podendo causar pequenos tremores de terra para desestabilizar os inimigos, até terremotos potentes que podem abrir crateras no chão e engolir pessoas e criaturas. Exige treino e também bastante energia gasta por parte do semideus, podendo causar exaustão se usado de maneira exacerbada.

15. Metano: Quando peixes, algas ou seres vivos morrem debaixo d'água, eles liberam hidrato de metano, que formam bolsões submersos de bolhas. A prole de Poseidon é capaz de “estourar” esses bolsões, fazendo as bolhas subirem até a superfície e caminharem até onde quer. Estando em um combate na água, tal ação reagir quimicamente deixando a água menos densa, e tudo que tocar nessa parte, afundará instantaneamente. Quando combate é em terra, o cheiro podre pode atordoar o inimigo. Exige muita energia do semideus, uma vez usada nem ele escapa do atordoamento. Em água, essa habilidade durará 15 minutos, em terra 10 minutos. Gasta muito da energia do usuário e se forçada por mais tempo pode levar a morte.

16. “É por isso que me chamam de Tempestade!”: Ele é capaz de manipular o clima e dominar todos os seus elementos, podendo alterar a pressão atmosf��rica, a temperatura e umidade, como também a capacidade de gerar chuvas e tempestades, além de gerar redemoinhos, tornados e pode também, sentir qualquer movimento e alterações nas camadas da atmosfera e nas camadas oceânicas. Em situações extremas, pode provocar um terremoto. Nesse nível, sua habilidade dura 2 horas, causando grande exaustão no semideus a cada minuto que ele mantém a habilidade ativa para não perder o controle. Devido à isso, é necessário pelo menos dois dias de repouso para repor as energias

STARTER: Oliver & Layne LOCATION: Hospital STATUS: CLOSED

It had been with much trepidation that Oliver had agreed that Layne should go to the Founder’s Day Fair - he was by no means in charge of her life and didn’t get a say as to where she went and when, but Dr Leske has advised Layne to take it slow and Ollie hadn’t been sure that the fair environment would allow her to do that. But, she’d wanted to see her friends and get out and enjoy the day, and he couldn’t blame her, so after making her promise to sit where she could and not be gone too long, he’d kissed her goodbye and headed into the garden to do some weeding. 

A few hours later, around the time when Layne had been expected home, a strange weakness had come over Oliver and so he’d called it a day in the garden in favour of having a cup of tea in the living room. That was when he’d received the dreaded phone-call Theo that Layne was in hospital. It wasn’t critical, but that hadn’t stopped Oliver from racing to the hospital. “Layne- Layne Baudelaire,” he choked out upon reaching the hospital’s reception, allowing himself to be led to her room. She looked ashen and sweaty, exhaustion clear on her face, and he rushed to her, hand finding hers as he pressed a soft kiss to her temple and then her lips. “Hey Laney baby… hey…” he murmured, his free hand moving to press gently to her forehead. “You’re so warm - what happened?” he asked softly, sinking into the seat next to her as he pressed a couple of kisses to her ever-growing bump.

Aparência Física:

cor dos olhos: castanhos puxados para o dourado

cor do cabelo: preto

altura:  1,73m

cicatrizes & tatuagens: o que não falta para kiara são pequenas cicatrizes que ela conseguiu na infancia, porque era uma garota que não parava quieta, para o terror de seu pai, que fazia de tudo para que sua princesinha não se machucasse de amneira alguma. ela também tem uma cicatriz bem grande em suas costas, e uma um pouco menor na barriga, quase na lateral de seu corpo, que ela adiquirou na missão desastrosa ao lado de seus amigos da Guarda. Ela não tem vergonha dessas cicatrizes, mas não fala sobre elas. De tatuagem, ela tem uma no ombro, uma pata de leão, que todos os membros da Guarda do Leão possuem.

face claim: kiki layne

Família

mãe: nala

pai: simba

irmãos: nenhum ( porém considera seus amigos da Guarda como seus irmão ).

Relacionamento com a família: um dia já foi muito bom, mas atualmente é um trabalho em progresso. kiara sempre foi muito próxima da mãe—nala sempre foi sua melhor amiga e confidente, e elas tem uma relação forte até hoje. com simba, a história é outra. quando criança, ela amava o pai mais do que tudo, mas a medida que foi crescendo, as diferenças entre ele começaram e só foram piorando ao longo dos anos. ela se ressente de simba por ter tentado proteger e controlar ela por tanto tempo, e por várias outras coisas. passaram um bom tempo sem se falar, mas hoje em dia, estão abertos ao diálogo e lentamente, tentando encontrar um modo de viver com suas diferenças.

Personalidade

kiara foi uma criança cheia de energia e arteira, uma adolescente rebede e se tornou uma adulta centrada.

na infância, ela sempre foi muito criativa, estava sendo inventando jogos e brincadeiras novas e, devido sua personalidade amigável, fazia amigos com facilidade. quando se tornou adolescente, sua rebeldia aflorou e ela se tornou errática. arrogante demais para seu próprio bem, ela ainda era uma pessoa que conseguia fazer amigos com muita facilidade, mas passou a fazer inimigos com a mesma facilidade. se perdeu por um tempo, e fez várias besteiras, mas tudo isso a fez crescer e amadurecer. ela tornou tudo uma lição, e suas experiências a tornaram uma adulta focada em seus objetivos. ela ainda está tentando se encontrar, definir que é, mas sabe que é uma jovem determinada e corajosa. ela é um pouco mais fechada atualmente, ela ainda tenta ajudar as pessoas ser amigável, mas é muito mais cautelosa.

para resumir:

características positivas: leal, adaptável, determinada, resili ente, corajosa e responsável.

características positivas: calculista, vingativa, teimosa, irritadiça arrogante, pavio curto, encrenqueira.

Trivia

kiara nunca teve desejo algum em ser rainha ( nem mesmo princesa ), então ela acha que pelo menos uma coisa boa saiu dessa história de os vilões ganharem. só não contem isso pra mais ninguém.

Seempre teve muita criatividade. Ela adora ler e adora escrever algumas histórias que surgem em sua mente. Quando mais nova, ela gostava de contar histórias para entreter os mais novos, era sempre um bom jeito de escapar da realidade. Hoje em dia, ela é um pouco mais fechada e já não compartilha suas histórias com as pessoas. Ela guarda apenas para si ou para amigos muito próximos.

Não concorda com a designação deu seu conto. Kiara acha que não tem nada a ver consigo mesma… no entanto, ela é mais parecida com Kyla do que imagina.

Sempre foi a líder de seu grupo de amigos. Ela gosta de estar a frente das coisas.

Ela é muito competitiva e também gosta de ser a numero 1.

Já teve sua fase Hakuna Matata. Mas isso ficou no passado.

em uma discussão ( a que causou a roturas na relação de simba e kiara ), seu pai lhe disse que ela era muito parecida com Scar. Na hora, Kiara odiou ouvir isso, e se recusou a acreditar. No entanto, a afirmação não está muito longe da verdade.

A Guarda do Leão ainda existe ! Mais velha e com mais experiência, ela decidiu retomar o grupo, e sempre que volta para casa entre as aulas, ela passa mais tempo ao lado deles, patrulhando Pride Lands, do que com sua própria família.

Ela é muito boa manejando bastões e lanças.

A morte do Rock

Disclaimer: Apenas os meus 2 centavos sobre o assunto. Leia-se: apenas minha opinião. E também, quando digo rock, eu estou querendo falar do rock e metal. É isso.

Ontem passei umas horas conversando no Twitter com um rapaz de 19 anos. Esse carinha toca covers de Royal Blood, que eu amo. Em uma hora, ele me perguntou se eu curtia Alice In Chains. Disse que sim, só não tinha escutado o álbum mais recente deles e tal. Nisso, ele me falou que muitas pessoas o xingam, porque ele gosta e ouve mais os álbuns mais recentes - aqueles sem o Layne Staley.

Sempre que surge esse assunto de que o rock está morrendo, eu sempre digo que se ele for morrer mesmo, ele irá morrer por gente que diz gostar dele. Sempre tem um tr00zão querendo bancar uma pose e mandar um saudosismo, como se todo mundo devesse seguir ele nessa, caso contrário, você é um mero poser.

Quantas vezes você já ouviu algo do tipo: esse álbum do Sepultura? Bom mesmo era na época do Max. E geralmente é uma pessoa que tem anos que não escuta nem Territory. Aliás, tem pessoa que nem conhece do Arise para trás! Essa situação ocorre em uma porrada de banda. Bandas que mudam de vocalista, baterista, guitarrista ou seja lá mais o que for, e automaticamente a banda acabou ou deixou de ser boa. Não estou querendo dizer com isso que não é de se estranhar. Mas digo da atitude de nem tentar ouvir e se tenta, já vai com uma má vontade e propenso a não gostar.

E as briguinhas idiotas? Não, mas veja bem, a gente é do metal, temos que bater naquele povinho ali do rock. Somos pesados, eles nada. Temos que mostrar nossa superioridade. E nisso, a oportunidade de se fazer laços, amizades e contatos vai por água abaixo. E ai de você caso escute outro estilo de som, como pop ou mpb. Vai virar o motivo de piada e tudo a troco de nada.

E vamos ser sinceros: o rock/metal não morreu e nem vai morrer. A questão aqui é popularidade. Não vemos mais bandas por ai como antes. Digo: em programas de tv ou rádio. Porém, os eventos existem. Cabe também cada um de nós procurar. Acabou de ocorrer o MITA e lá teve Planet Hemp e The Mars Volta. No evento The Town teremos bandas como: Foo Fighters, Queens Of Stone Age, Garbage e Pitty. Fora os eventos do ano passado, que trouxeram ao Brasil bandas como Gojira, Slipknot, Iron Maiden, Dream Theater e outros.

E acho que cabe também a gente procurar pelos trabalhos das bandas. Esse ano já tivemos álbum novo do In Flames e Paramore. E ainda teremos lançamentos de: 30 Seconds To Mars, Queens Of The Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Royal Blood, Avenged Sevenfold e outros que não lembro de cabeça. Já chegou a ver a lista do ano passado? Tivemos: Slipknot, Korn, Rammstein, Ghost, Megadeth, Coheed And Cambria, Scorpions, Lamb of God, Alter Brigde,Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Mars Volta, Bad Omens e muitos outros. Fora os "desconhecidos" como Memphis May Fire, Claustrofobia e Scalene.

De todos esses citados, creio que muita gente nem sabe que saiu coisa nova. Acredito que tem gente tão presa ao antigo que era bom, que deixa passar muita coisa boa. Tem coisa nova e boa saindo. Ontem, hoje e amanhã. Cabe dar uma pesquisada, tentar acompanhar. Pode até não escutar hoje, esse ano. Mas revisite e você pode descobrir muita coisa legal. E se possível, vá em um show.

Também não creio que vá acabar, porque sempre está mudando. Teve a febre do Dubstep. E não é porque você não escuta mais por ai e nem pesquisa mais, que ele morreu. Então o rock/metal não vai morrer. Ele pode se transformar e cabe a nós parar de birra e saudosismo e tentar entender e curtir aquela nova fase. Pode ser que ainda assim você não goste de determinado som, é verdade. Ninguém é obrigado a gostar se não curtiu mesmo. Mas só o ato de tentar e ir com a mente aberta, já conta e muito. E é isso que falta hoje em dia: vontade e mente aberta.

Lejos.. una de las canciones mas hermosas/triste que he escuchado.

Respecto al solo... Este es la prueba de que intensidad/pasión, no va necesariamente vinculado con a velocidad de la digitacion.

En relacion a la letra..

Ya no queda nada, ni nadie. Naces solo y de la misma forma morirás!!!

Mientras mas rápido aceptes este axioma, implicara menos confusión y sufrimiento ;)

La vida es eso.. un viaje para aprender amar tu soledad y hacerla tu hermana.

La forma en como murió Layne Staley, me conmovió profundamente aquella vez. Y me hizo mucho sentido esta canción. A la vez también me identifique..

Es todo por hoy... Hasta la próxima ;) lml
