The 2024 Paris Olympics kick off today with a unique opening ceremony on the River Seine. In the first ever ceremony not held inside a stadium, athletes from around the world will float on boats along a 3.7-mile (6-km) east-west route across Paris, from the Pont d’Austerlitz to the Trocadero. Earlier today, three coordinated arson attacks to France’s high-speed rail network disrupted travel for about a million people, including some Olympic athletes.

bittersweet ~ a yandere!John Wick x fem!reader sunshine/grump coffee shop AU... Part 11 all chapters

-You fly into Rome on a beautiful June day with an ache in your heart you can’t quite shake. You throw yourself into the sights, visiting museums, soaking up the beautiful art and the Mediterranean sunshine. You see things in person that you’d only seen in art history books before, and as an artist you know you are forever changed. You meet plenty of interesting travelers in your hostel, but no one who quite holds your attention, or your imagination, the way the memory of Mr. Wick does.

Italy is beautiful, but the men are exhausting. Not all the men. Just the continual stream of the ones who find you on the street, see a young lady traveling alone and take it as license to bother you. Constantly. More than once, when you turn down their offers of whatever, as politely as you can in your broken Italian, they get nasty.

It’s a relief in a way when you pair up with a kind young man from Argentina to go see the Vatican. No one bothers you, and you have fun, but it’s not exactly what you want.

You actually like being alone, and in others casual company you find that you itch to steal away to a quiet corner to read or sketch or write in your journal. You revel in this special kind of solitude, being a solo traveler in a strange land, not needing to cater to the wants and whims of anyone else for once.

When Javier tries to kiss you on the Ponte Sant’Angelo, you cannot help but feel as though you are being watched. He’s a good-looking young man, funny and sweet and you enjoy his company. At any other time in your life you would have happily lost yourself in a fling. But you know you wish you were looking into a very different pair of dark eyes, and you turn your head at the last minute, receiving soft lips on the cheek.

“Javi…” you sigh with regret, holding distance between you with a hand on his chest.

“Sorry,” he apologizes, clearly crestfallen.

“It’s ok.”

You’re not mad. You’re just…sad—and you’re not sure why you can’t kick this melancholy longing and enjoy yourself in this beautiful place. You feel like you’re walking around with a hole in your heart, and it’s all Mr. Wick’s fault, the big idiot.   

After a week you move on to Florence, and the museums there fill your days. You see so many wonderful things, from the statue of David in the Galleria dell’Accademia, the wonderful paintings in the Uffizi gallery, the splendor of the Duemo... You fall in love all over again with Botticelli, Bellini, Lippi and Uccello and Tiziano and so many others.

You also see a sun-bronzed old man masturbating unabashedly on a blanket in the park, but that’s Italy for you, apparently.

You still feel as though you are being watched, but you never find the source of this weird feeling between your shoulder blades. You try to shrug it off, going for long walks along the Arno between snacks and visits to this galleria or that.

Before you leave the city you go to a book binder’s shop Mr. Wick told you about that has been in business for literal centuries. They have such wonderful things, books with leather covers and gilded arabesques, ornate handmade papers and parchment. You pick up a blank journal for Mr. Wick. It’s small, but its all you can afford. It’s beautifully made, and you hope he’ll like it.

Venice is beautiful, but so very infuriating.

You manage in a blunder on the very first day to drop your phone, cracking the screen into a thousand spiderwebs. It renders the maps you downloaded utterly useless, and you try to go the paper route, but you are lost for the umpteenth time in the maze of small side streets and canals when a seemingly helpful middle-aged construction worker takes pity on you and offers to lead you back to a main road.

At least you think that’s what he says, but after five minutes you realize you read the situation so very wrong, when you find yourself in a dead-ended alley and the older man is puckering his lips at you. It would have been comical on screen, perhaps, but in real life you are not amused. He’s big, but not fast. You’re glad for your flat sandals as you duck under his outstretched arms and dash away down the street, thinking you can’t possibly get yourself any more lost than you already are.

You look over your shoulder to check if he’s pursuing you, and run into something immoveable. You hit so hard you bounce, and you might have ended up in the canal, had strong arms not wrapped around you.

Oh no.

 Fearing you may have landed yourself out of the frying pan and into the fire, you try to squirm away.

“Y/n?”

Recognizing that voice, you freeze for a moment, before actually bothering to look up at who has you in hand.

It’s none other than Mr. John Wick.

A nearly unbearable flood of surprise and excitement fills you from your hair follicles to the tips of your toes.    

“What are you doing here?” you demand, and maybe it sounds more like an accusation than it should.

“Tying up some loose ends,” he answers vaguely. “Is he bothering you?”

You look over your shoulder to see the construction worker has emerged from the alley, and is stumping your way.

“Yes.”

The worker airs some dramatic-sounding complaint with John, waving his hands animatedly. John’s answer is much less musical, but perfectly pronounced, and you’re pretty sure he told the guy to get the fuck out of here.  

Grumbling, your suitor goes in the opposite direction, talking to himself as he does and gesturing with his arms to no one but the audience in his own mind.

So melodramatic.

You cannot help but notice Mr. Wick still has his arms around you, glaring at the man until he disappears around a corner. You are still breathing heavily from your little mad dash, steadying yourself with hands on the flat plane of his chest. John finally looks back down to you, his eyes fixating on your lips before valiantly rising back to meet your gaze, his fingertips digging slightly into your sides. 

You rack your brains for something to say, when all you really want to do is grab the lapels of his beautiful suit jacket, stand on tiptoe and press your lips to his. 

“I…thought you were retired?”

It seems he only reluctantly lets you go after that, the tips of his fingers sliding from your ribcage. Immediately you feel the loss of his strong hands.

“I try to be,” he quips, almost evasively. “Why aren’t you in Rome?” He asks this as if you are the one who is in a place you’re not supposed to be.

“I…saw everything I wanted to see?”

Only then does he finally offer you a smile. It’s almost boyish, and it pulls at your heartstrings with a vengeance. You look him over. It might be the first time you’ve seen him wearing anything but all black, in a light grey summer weight suit with an airy white button down open at the throat.

He looks, if you may be frank, utterly edible.

“It's good to see you,” he says almost shyly, as though he's afraid you might not feel the same.

If only you could tell him that you've thought about him every day since you've been gone. 

“I’m very glad to see you,” you dare to admit. “It's a small world, I guess.”

You decide not to think about what a strange coincidence it is, running into this man in a back alley in Venice. At the moment, you simply don’t care. It’s as though for once the Universe was paying attention to your heart’s yearnings and delivered on it in the flesh.

“Yeah. So...where are you headed?”

You sigh, and very sorely wish you could hang your head on the solid plane that is his chest again. Your desire to be held by this man is an ache in your very bones.

“I don't even know. I'm so lost.”

Usually you have a decent sense of direction, but this fucking city has you walking in circles. Usually that's fine too, but you've never felt so hunted in your life. 

“Would you... like to come to lunch with me? I'm on my way to meet an old friend. He would love to meet you.” 

For a moment you are dumbfounded to receive such an invitation. But then, you look down at yourself in your colorfully cute but obviously cheap sundress, then look at him in his smart suit that probably cost more than your car.

“That's so sweet, John, but I'm sure I'm not dressed to go wherever you're going.” 

“What do you mean? You look beautiful.” 

You look back up to him, open mouthed. He's never really said anything outright like that to you. It feels ridiculously good to hear it. Warmth floods you from head to toe. You know you are blushing, maybe even glowing, but it’s hard to feel too embarrassed when he looks at you like that.

“Thanks.”

He reaches up very slowly, just barely brushing your chin with his knuckle. “Come with me.” His voice is low, soft even, yet somehow adamant. It induces a flutter in your heart—and an ache in your loins. You like to think you are not easily led, but you wouldn't have dreamed of arguing with him now. 

“Alright.”

His pleased smile is a balm to your earlier frustration. For the first time since you got off the train and promptly got lost trying to find your hostel, you feel like you can relax in this maze of a city. You didn’t realize it before, but you haven’t felt safe for weeks.

He offers you his arm.

The gesture is sweet, and gallant, and maybe you lean against him a little more than you need to. His arm is dizzyingly solid beneath your fingers, and you can’t help but feel a little giddy as you stroll together towards your destination.

Aqueduct Bridges

All right, it's time to talk about something you almost certainly noticed in Rebellion even if you didn't have the vocabulary for it: sudoubashi (水道橋) or "aqueduct bridges". As their name suggests, they are bridges used to convey water across gaps and openings, which people have been building for thousands of years (more on this in a second).

The first aqueduct we see is en route to outskirts of Mitakihara, along with many other more conventional bridges:

There's so much surreal bridge stuff in this scene that it's easy to overlook why the water is coming out, which is not really what aqueducts are supposed to do! To me, it reads like a "release valve" for excess pressure, as well as gorgeous imagery. But Inu Curry's comment in the Rebellion Production Note is also insightful: "Passing under a Roman-style aqueduct .... Water appears a lot where dreams are concerned." So Homura is dreaming, and on the cusp of becoming aware she is dreaming, and the water reflects that.

After Homura is unable to leave Mitakahara, she descends into the Witch's Well, to signify regaining memories of the past. The water imagery here is more subtle, but Inu Curry's title for this sequence again reinforces the water-dreaming connection--and wells are sources of water, which is pumped to the surface and distributed.

As a result, it's not really surprising that aqueduct bridges start popping up all over Mitakihara when Homura emerges from the well.

By the time Mami and Homura fight, the city is littered with these structures--there are more bridges than buildings! This is probably a good thing given the amount of property damage these two are capable of, but also a sign of Homura's mental state--her "obsession" with figuring out who made the labyrinth and why.

One important detail to note is that none of these aqueducts are connected to each other--they are scattered around the landscape but don't go anywhere. They don't "hold water"--they are dry and empty. Homura is struggling to put the pieces together regarding her situation but she hasn't made the connections yet.

These aqueducts look different from the one that originally appeared en route to Kazaimino--less polished, more simplistic, as Homura "builds" them from scratch (her ideas about her surroundings are still relatively unshaped and unformed compared to the more elaborate aqueduct from the bus trip). They are also inspired by Roman aqueducts, most famously the Pont du Gard in France. They are easily distinguished by their characteristic arches and tiered levels.

As an aside, the Roman influence also helps give the impression of a "fallen empire" within Homura's mind and contrasts nicely with their counterparts in the outside world:

Following the alleyway scene with Sayaka, Homura once more descends underground and into her subconscious, this time on a gondola moving through canals. Note the arched stonework as she passes through before it's eclipsed by more surreal imagery.

Once Homura has finally uncovered the truth, the aqueducts are no longer necessary and they abruptly disappear from the landscape. However, their legacy persists in the same arched stonework that composes the structure where Homura confronts Kyubey. The once straight aqueducts have connected to form a circle in which she is trapped, while their arches mirror the window that represents salvation by the Law of Cycles and the mosaics in the Witch's Well because symbols can do more than one thing at a time.

This is most plainly visible in the sequence where Kyubey is being chased by the Clara Dolls--you can really see how this structure is put together, and its three-dimensional nature is more obvious than in the wide shots.

There's a whole lot to be said about bridges in Rebellion, but I wanted to point out the aqueducts in particular because they are serving a very specific function and purpose independent of the other bridge imagery despite being bridges themselves, especially given their connection to water imagery. They form a consistent visual "bridge" that represents Homura's journey and mental state throughout the middle third of Rebellion. And I just think that's neat!

Maine Sardines, 1960

LE PÊCHEUR DE SARDINES GÉANT

Cette silhouette géante d'un pêcheur de sardines du Maine est une attraction intéressante pour les automobilistes entrant ou quittant l'État à Kittery. Située sur la très fréquentée Route 1, à quelques centaines de mètres à l'est du pont reliant le Maine au New Hampshire, cette figure de 12 mètres de haut rappelle de manière impressionnante l'importance de l'industrie de la mise en conserve des sardines dans l'État. Cette industrie fournit de délicieuses et saines sardines du Maine à pratiquement toutes les villes et cités du pays.
