Disparaître

L’idée de disparaître n’est pas facile à se défaire. Pourtant, nous avons de l’expérience. Combien de fois avons-nous quitté un lieu pour ne plus jamais y revenir ? Nous avons disparu d’un lieu et nous avons continué ailleurs. Quelles que soient les conditions à l’origine de notre départ, tout est possible si la direction est claire en notre esprit. Lorsque nous gardons l’esprit ouvert, sans…

Ooh, I'm loving this visual style. It feels even more Earthbound than when Karkat did it.

Anyway - whacha got for us, Vriska?

JOHN: for what? you mean… JOHN: that windy thing? did i actually do that somehow? VRISKA: Well, yes, you did. And I suppose congratul8tions are in order for that too. VRISKA: 8ut mostly, I am congratul8ting you…….. VRISKA: FOR GAINING ALL THE LEVELS!!!!!!!! ::::O

The Heir has tripped over the level cap, and can now accidentally cause a planetary cataclysm. Our protagonist, everyone!

However, it seems like he still has some more tripping to do. Some sort of bonus levelling system, I guess?

VRISKA: Yes. You are now ready to 8egin your ascent through the god tiers.

Apparently so.

This is probably why Future Dave considers him so uniquely accomplished. John's going to unlock a tier of power usually reserved for munchkins like Vriska - a tier which only the most competitive Players are even aware of.

VRISKA: The thing is, from this point on, you can't make any progress while you're awake. So you've got to get to sleep!

Sounds like the god tiers are only achievable with your Dream Self.

Rose's sacrificial plan will permanently lock her out of her full potential. Is she aware of this?

VRISKA: 8ut not just any 8oring old nap will do. You will need to go to sleep in a special 8ed. VRISKA: You must find your Quest 8ed, John.

A special bed, which presumably has some effect on the game's dreaming mechanics. Perhaps there's an area of the Medium we haven't seen yet - a third dream location, imperceptible from anywhere but the Quest Bed.

5h45 et ça fait 1h que je suis réveillée pcq Nougat s'est réveillé dans la pièce d'à côté, il en a marre d'être seul. Alors pour lui c'est suffisant de dire "chuuuttt nougat encore dodo" mais ça réveille les deux autres qui voient ça comme un "go la journée peut commencer", qui commencent à courir partout, se battre etc. et moi je ne sais pas me rendormir bien sûr. Et c'est comme ça que toutes les journées commencent depuis qu'il fait clair un peu plus tôt, j'en suis à espérer la fin de la saison.

Lundi il y a eu le briefing pour la semaine de stage de cirque en camping. Je me disais "une semaine sans chat whouhou" bah on se lève à 6h, un peu plus tôt si on veut une douche tranquille, et le feed back de la journée est à 23h. Alors moi je ne vais pas faire de cirque cette semaine là, j'y vais dans l'équipe d'intendance, qui est en fait l'équipe de profs dans l'école de cirque où je jongle. On va faire les courses et les repas pour les 130 jeunes et animateurs du camp. Ça va être une semaine de dingue et c'est assez bien payé. L'ado participe au stage chez les jongleurs mais on ne se croisera pas beaucoup en journée, et les nuits, il a une tente avec ses potes.

Les examens continuent, il en reste trois. Pour l'instant ça va mais on sent la fatigue et les erreurs d'inattention qui arrivent. Je continue de trouver cette période de l'année totalement inutile. Les remplir comme des seaux et les faire vomir le tout en fin d'année au lieu de fonctionner avec des bilans. Mon amie, qui est prof en supérieur, trouve que c'est important de pouvoir ingurgiter des grosses quantités comme ça. Ça les prépare aux études supérieures. Je trouve qu'il n'y a pas de rapport entre faire son boulot convenablement dans sa vie professionnelle et utiliser sa mémoire de manière aussi intensive et endurante, jusqu'à la nausée. Les études supérieures aussi pourraient segmenter la matière et leur éviter cette période de stress. Elle a utilisé comme argument "si je devais me faire opérer, j'aimerais que le chirurgien soit assez endurant au cas où" et je n'ai quand même pas vu le rapport avec la gestion d'une session d'examens du coup je trouve cet argument complètement claqué.

Il y a une psy de l'un des centres pluridisciplinaires où je bosse qui est partie récemment, il y a aussi l'animateur des ateliers BD et là c'est une logopède qui quitte bientôt l'équipe. A chaque fois c'est parce qu'iels ont trouvé une place comme salarié.e.s. Ce centre était déjà en questionnement, par rapport au fait que beaucoup d'indépendants partent (ça coûte très cher d'être indépendant en Belgique) et donc il n'y a pas suffisamment de loyers qui rentrent pour les bureaux et ça se pourrait que le centre ferme bientôt. Pour moi ça ne représente qu'une petite aprèm mais l'amie qui a ouvert ce centre et qui y met énormément d'énergie depuis des années est dévastée. On est en juin, les nouveaux professionnels sont diplômés et vont chercher une patientèle, j'essaie de la rassurer comme je peux mais on verra. Ce soir on a une réunion-barbec justement avec toute cette équipe, l'ambiance va être bizarre.

Je suis moi aussi dans une remise en question, une impression de ne pas être bonne dans mon job en ce moment. Les examens de l'ado me stressent et me font faire le taxi et j'ai l'impression que mon cerveau est totalement absorbé par ça , je n'ai pas de longue période "pour moi" dans la journée du coup mes factures ne sont pas envoyées, mes bilans ne sont pas faits, je n'ai pas harcelé les médecins pour avoir mes prescriptions signées. J'ai été absente 3 semaines en mai, j'ai l'impression d'avoir abandonné mes patients à un moment où ils avaient besoin de moi. Et il y a ce petit bonhomme dont le bégaiement revient alors que d'autres choses se règlent.

Et mon alarme sonne dans 2 minutes.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ THE COLD WAR RETURNS: ON THE BIGGEST RED CARPET IN THE WORLD.

written by EnVieOus

The Met Gala, taking place the first Monday of May each year, is undoubtedly one of the most watched events of the year in the realm of the filthy rich and those finely attuned in to the lives of celebrities. Celebrated in New York City and hosted by international phenomenon Vogue Magazine, recent years of the event have seen more and more internationally recognized celebrities welcomed to grace the number one red carpet of the fashion world, something that gives us Kpop fans a reason to cheer. While a swath of idols were seen at this year's gala, 3 that never fail to catch my eye were La Vie's Anya, Star, and Mari.

from left to right: Anya Na in custom YSL, Star Shinawatra in custom YSL, Mari Bang in Schiaparelli haute couture '21

Anya and Star both stunned in custom Yves Saint Laurent, unsurprising from the luxury brand's princess and her closest confidant. While this was Star's debut at the Met, this is the third year in a row that Anya has been invited by the designer house.

However, Lovies were left with plenty of questions when the group's maknae Mari arrived later than the former two in a striking yet conflicting outfit by Schiaparelli. Although the three only briefly passed on the carpet, no acknowledgments were shared.

To older fans, this icy greeting is hardly news. Its been recently made clear that tensions between La Vie and their maknae have been raised ever since she first made her solo debut in the American music industry back in 2021. Some fans had bashed the idol for "abandoning" the group to focus on western fame and validation.

Lovies were led to believe that things were on the mend between them all when Mari returned to the group for their most recent comeback celebrating the group's 7th year anniversary, making it the first OT6 comeback in nearly 2 years. The group released a 2 hour long documentary highlighting the group's history and the album's making which had an emotional segment on Mari's absence, how it had effected the group's dynamic, and her intentions to right any wrongs in the hearts of her members and her fans. It was all very touching.

And yet, almost a year later, we are seeing the conflict back in full swing. 4 days before the Gala, La Vie posted a teaser for their newest comeback to all of the group's socials. The teaser very notably only featuring 5 of the members (missing Mari once again), much to the disappointment of hopeful Lovies everywhere.

"Teaser ; White Swan" posted to La Vie socials on May 2, 2024

While this in itself stirred up controversy, nothing would compare to the shitstorm that arose when 2 days later, Mari dropped a teaser for her newest single, set to release only a week after the rest of the group's mini album.

Teaser posted on May 4, 2024 to Mari's Instagram, @ maribang, captioned " ugh, what a b!! SOMETHING NEW COMING TO U JUNE 4TH "

Fans and netizens have conveyed a wide range of emotions the past few days, from outrage to disappointment to jumping for joy, and this most recent interaction (or lack thereof) has only added to the overflowing dramatics of the public's opinion. Calls for Mari's official removal from the group have only increased since her apparent cold shoulder on the carpet. Some are blaming conflict between Rainbow Entertainment and MGM, Mari's record label in America, for the issues, fruitlessly arguing that the girls would never want to treat each other so coldly of their own accord.

After years of this drama, the people are beginning to demand answers, but the radio silence on both ends continues. Was it simply an accident, where one didn't see the other? Or a blatant cold shoulder between former best friends?

Let us know what YOU think here !

ltov6: this is a reachhhh!!!!!! they were on the same part of the carpet for like .2 seconds before star and anya were rushed off. don't put words in their mouth!!

bangbangmarmar: anyway. mari outsold on her own, she doesn't need those washed up bitches🙄🙄

expensiveanya: well my princess was serving as per usual so that's all that matters🤭

lvis6: wait... SHES THE BLACK SWAN!!!! ot6 cb is coming!!!!!!

feelinlikepsychoo: good god can they just kick her out already...... like they clearly do not need her. dragging their name down for no reason.

2sunz: if sol was there she wouldve straightened them out fr. acting like children without their mama

lovelylovie: to everyone saying she probably didn't know... she's literally dressed as a black swan. she knew.

3rd life Remastered Irl segment 2 part 2/2

Warning. The people portrayed in this story (aside from Slimer) are real and are used in a fictitious manner. This story is entirely satire. This story also features topics of suicide and self harm. You have been warned.

As soon as the banquet begins I am going over mingling with all of the other lifers and the first lifer I run into is none other than Pearl. Pearl: Oh my god how much food are you putting on a plate?" I grin "As much as I can carry and stomach" Pearl: Of course leave it to the foodie to eat everybody's food" My plate is filled to the brim with food that I set down at the nearby table where Jimmy is talking to Bigb and Martyn. Jimmy: OH NO NO NO YOU ARE NOT EATING ALL OF THAT FOOD" "And what are you going to do about it" Martyn: I think we are all going to jack your food while you aren't looking" Pearl: I think that's for the best" That's when doodl3 shows up watching what's going on with Mumbo and Grian. "Do not touch my food" Mumbo: There he goes again rambling on about needing to eat so much. *Sigh* I wish him the best of luck" Grian: The part I dread is the desserts" Bigb: Just tone it down on the food and save some for everybody else" "Tone it down? do you know how much food this hotel produces and hey there's plenty of food left for everyone" Pearl can't help but chuckle. Pearl: Oh hey there Jill nice to see you"

Uh excuse me this banquet hall is for Lifers only. Who let you in?" Mumbo: You mean to tell me you don't know who Jill really is?" What are you talking about?" Grian: Zach (no that's not my Irl name that is Slimer's real name) Jill right here is your editor doodl3" "Grian me and doodl3 have never met how do I know for sure tha-" That's when she pulls out her phone and shows me her Youtube Account showing indeed that she is doodl3. I begin to laugh at this revelation and look over to see Bigb Martyn and Jimmy jacking my food while nobody is watching. "OI. hold on one second" I walk over "You took 2/3 of my food" Martyn: It's not like you need all of that" "I have a large stomach thank you very much" Bigb: Yeah well this food is ours now" "I hate all 3 of you. I hate you Martyn. I hate you Anthony and I especially hate you Jimmy" I head on back over to doodl3. "You know what i love about Jill so much she's not afraid to get into a little mischief. So doodl3 let's make this like Secret Life ok?" I bring her away from prying ears "I'm about to go on stage with Pearl to perform a violin song me and her both agreed on earlier ok? Your task is you see those small whipped pies over on the dessert table?" Jill: Yeah?" "I want you to be the mischief maker that you are and I want you to pie Jimmy Martyn Anthony and Tango. All of them have pissed me off today and I think it's time for some payback" Jill grins with mischeif Jill: Alright just what I needed" Me: Remember be discreet. Don't let them catch on to what you are doing."

I get up on stage with Pearl and take out my violin and begin playing La Vie En Rose and see doodl3 take some of the whipped pies as well as a few other desserts and sit down with Joel John Scott and Impulse. John: Heya there Jill whatcha got there?" Jill: Just a few desserts I'm going around eating and talking at the same time" Scott: Don't be like Zach save some food for everyone" Jill: Oh don't worry I'm not like that glutton" She takes one of the whipped pies and wanders over to where Tango is but not before seeing Rylee go over and sit in Joel's lap. Jill says it for me "Traitor". I see Jill where Tango is but focus on my violin but I'm grinning as Pearl continues to sing. Jill: Hey Tango" Tango: Hey Jill whatcha got there?" Jill: Just a little whipped pie that's what" Tango: So how does it feel now that I'm one of your boss's partners in the remaster" Jill: You mean how you almost got Cleo killed? Yeah she said this is to get even with you" She then takes the pie and slams it in Tango's face. Grian looks over in shock. Grian: Jill what happened?" Tango: I think I just got pied" Grian scowls over at me knowing very well I'm the one who told her to do it. He notices the other pies and tries to piece together who else is next as Jill grabs another pie and a Brownie off of her plate. I grin as Pearl finishes singing I get up before Grian pulls me aside. Grian: Just what are you having her do?" "Can't tell you that it's a task" Grian: What do you- oooooh. So her task is to pie random people?" Me: No. Although you get one more guess with her but no more guesses with me" Grian: So the people aren't random I see"

Jill heads on over to Impulse Grian doesn't say anything as he watches her. Me: Hey lay off the girl alright? Go over and mingle" I head over to the dessert table and grab a whole bunch of desserts but more importantly a whipped pie of my own. Jimmy: You have to be kidding me stop grabbing a bunch of food or we're all going to eat it off of your plate" "You're more than welcome to try" Jimmy: Right time to assemble the food squad again" Jill sees Jimmy going somewhere and tails behind him as I sit down at my table. Jill sees Jimmy headng back with Martyn and Anthony. Jill approaches and pretends to trip on one of her heels and pies Martyn right in the face. Anthony: Hey are you ok?" Jill: Yeah just tripped you ok Martyn?" Martyn: A little whipped cream never hurt anyone. No hard feelings"

Grian is now walking over to me and whispers into my ear "You are absolutely sick" I then hear my voices as Grian is whispering to me and I space out "Do it. Kill yourself right now. They won't care about you." Grian notices and shakes me back into reality. Grian: Get ahold of yourself now isn't the time to be spacing out" Grian knows full well why I'm spacing out but doesn't say anything about it wanting to let me have peace. Grian: You're going to tell me who you told Jill to pie" "Awww but that ruins the fun I will tell you this I instructed her to pie 4 people but I'm not saying who" Suddenly Anthony gets pied by her and Jimmy starts to realize just what is going on.

Jimmy: No you stay away from me" I begin to walk over to assist Jill and whisper to her "psst Grian is on to you I told him you were to pie 4 people but I didn't tell him who try going over to him and pretend like you're going to pie him" Jill has a mischeivious grin on her face as she heads over to where Lizzy is pie in her hand and a cookie in the other. As she goes to "pie" her Grian runs up Grian: Hey Jill are you suppossed to pie Tango Anthony Martyn and Lizzie?" I shake my head at him and Grian is absolutely stunned as Jimmy approaches. Jimmy: Hey what's going on over h-" That's when Jill pies him right in the face JIll: Ugh Why?" "It's payback for not only dumping slime on me when I wasn't ready yet but also for jacking my food" Jimmy: Why am I being punished for protecting the food population" "Because that food wasn't yours" Jimmy: Now 4 good pies wasted" "Jill help yourself to my dessert plate you earned it eat as much as you want" Jill chuckles happily and goes over to where my plate is.

As she goes back my vision begins to glitch a bit. I start to see blood everywhere for a split second. Everyone now in their tuxedos and dresses is now a skeleton. My eyes go wide for a few seconds before Jill leads me over to our table and I snap out of it. I have my hands on my head wondering what I just saw. Jill: You ok?" "Yeah just my voices getting worse"

I head back to my room later Jill behind me. "Right I'll see you at Minecon tomorrow hope you're ready to mod" Jill: Don't worry I'll be ready you just get some rest and mentally prepare yourself. Remember anything can happen" I smirk "I'm a lifer I already know what I'm getting myself into Goodnight Doodl3" Jill: Goodnight Boss Slime"

As soon as Scar enters he gets hit in the face with a cream pie I snuck from the Banquet. Jill then hears from outside my room/ "That's what you get for turning me into a Lobster hahahahhahhahahaahahaha"

When she gets to her room she sees Rylee running up to her.

[permafrown]

"essays" in question btw in regards to Irene + Irene/Jonathan 👇 they're very informal bc I just copied and pasted my own messages LMAO

ABOUT IRENE:

SO THIS IS MY SILLY BILLY IRENE CHURCHILL aka "The Undertaker" !!

Their whole thing is that they moved to Gotham, right.. initially being from the Midwest and so they're there as an Embalmer for the GCPD. They end up picking up a side gig as a body disposal service for Gotham's criminal underbelly just like. Completely by accident. They did it once for Penguin but after that it's what they became Known For and like they'd get shady mfs at their door like. 🕴️ we got a job for ya and they're like. 😔 I guess this is what I do now ⚰

They don't kill anybody they just take care of a deed that's already been done, in exchange for money and favors they can cash in. They consider themselves a "Modern-Day Charon" bc of the morbid but neutral role they play.

EVENTUALLY they decide they want to do a little more with themselves and one thing leads to another and . . . they get into experimenting w/ reanimating corpses specifically after modifying a sample of Jonathan's fear toxin into what they call Vie (short for Vie a la Mort bc they're fake french). It bites them in the ass and they die and then are brought back with their own creation and now they're The Cooler Irene

ABOUT IRENE AND JONATHAN:

if I were to like generalize instead of basing it around pre-existing comics .. I'd say Irene and Jonathan probably met at something like a gala/charity event that Gotham University was hosting and members of the GCPD were invited to including Irene bc Jim Gordon was like. We have got to get you out of that morgue and socializing spending all that time around dead bodies isn't good for you. And they're just like. Ok 😗👍

SO THEY MEET JON AT THIS PARTY that they're both like half-heartedly attending for one reason or another. and they're like wowww.. this guy's weird (twirling hair). Theyre talking to eachother getting along well. And well since Irene doesn't know abt Scarecrow and (at this point) Jon doesn't know about Undertaker they're both just kinda thinking to themselves - this guy's definitely hiding something.

SO IT'S THIS STUPID LIKE. ROMCOM ASS DEVELOPMENT of them gradually spending more and more time around eachother falling in-love in the process being in denial about it ETC

and then one Halloween. Irene's first Halloween in Gotham there's a fall festival that Jonathan had invited Irene to and they're like oh hell yeah. They dress as a plague doctor with a small twist that ends up saving their ass (the mask actually functions as a mask) so they go and they're waiting for Jonathan just chillin and then BOOM there's a scarecrow attack and everything's in shambles around 'em there's people screaming and what not. Except for Irene who like in the midst of it all sees Scarecrow and their ass FALLS IN-LOVE thinking he's just a scare actor

They just kinda go home after like wow what a wild night lol. and then they hear police sirens outside at where the festival was and they're like . I'm starting to think that whole ordeal wasn't part of the festivities.

SO they see a news segment talking about a scarecrow attack and they're like scarecrow.... AND they rmbr how they hadn't seen Jonathan that night and it's not like him to no-show esp not when he made the plans so they're connecting the dots like . . . Uh oh 😨 ( <- experiencing heart palpitations but brother it's not fear)

SO THEY JUST. HAVE TO GO ON PRETENDING THEY DONT KNOW SHIT LIKE ahh damn jonathan shame I didnt see you last night. Yeah no I wasn't even there I had to feed my fish.

AND THENNNNN as Undertaker they have scarecrow as a client once and they're normal about it. like maybe he doesn't know. and then it happens again shortly after but this time they're like 🤨 this body you want gone isn't even fresh man the rove beetles are getting to it it's been out for atleast a week and Scarecrow's like. How would you know that if you weren't involved in the forensics or perhaps even mortuary field. Irene. and they're like FUUUUCK 😭

SO THAT'S HOW HE FINDS OUT BC HE SET THEM UP and then they take off eachother's masks/veil and it's all tense and they kiss sloppy style THE END

I saw your post on writing prompts for TMNT. Can I ask for rottmnt TMNT 2012 character bonding? Like r!Leo with 12!raph, r!Mikey with 12!Donnie, r!Donnie with 12!Leo, and r!raph with 12! Mikey?

Hello, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m going to keep building on this in segments. I will reblog and let you know. But here is Rise Donnie being protective of 12! Leo

.

12: Leonardo/Lee; Raphael; Donatello/Donnie; Michelangelo/Mikey

Rise: Leo/Leon/Nardo; Raph/Raphie; Dee/Donald; Mike/Angelo

Protective

It was subtle, Lee noted, but it was there. And honestly, it was a bit sweet. It had first confused the eldest in blue, but it grew on him. Upon meeting their younger counterparts, Leonardo wasn’t blind to noting he had a little duckling following him around. Once he had praised one of Dee’s inventions and the purple banded soft shell was his shadow, constantly soaking up more praise. It made Lee ache a little bit to think that Dee wasn’t praised a lot for his brilliance. Although, it prompted him to offer words of encouragement more often than he did to his own genius brother. But Leonardo was moved, if not embarrassed by the younger turtle’s protectiveness.

Dee had a great deal of respect and admiration for Leonardo. But he also felt a twinge of concern. While Leonardo was the oldest of them all, ‘Nardo was his younger twin— no matter how much they argued over it— and he looked out for his brother in his own way. Granted, giving him a shock collar to put an end to his stupid jokes wasn’t the best idea at the time… but c'est la vie. He’d find something to aid his brother’s skills. It was just a matter of designing the right thing, easier said than done. Still, he carefully observed Lee and while he felt that he himself couldn’t direct him, Lee’s brother’s could. It was mostly things that dealt with his injuries. Lee wasn’t one to complain or talk about his knee hurting, even with a knee brace, so Dee would find Donnie or Raphael and tell one of them. They’d curse under their breath before stomping off towards Lee to help him. Dee felt a bit better to see his twin’s counterpart be taken care of and fussed over by his brothers. Dee commended himself on a job well done.

Discovering the hidden treasures of Musee d'Orsay: Maurice Denis

'"La vie devient précieuse, discrète : les couchers de soleil ont une douceur d'anciennes peintures" Translation: "Life becomes precious, discreet: twilight has the softness of old paintings."

Maurice Denis

- I saw this lithograph at the Musée d'Orsay last year, paired with a wee segment of a diary entry which reminded me of a quote by Jeanette Winterson:

“I have noticed that when all the lights are on, people tend to talk about what they are doing – their outer lives. Sitting round in candlelight or firelight, people start to talk about how they are feeling – their inner lives. They speak subjectively, they argue less, there are longer pauses. To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative. I have my best ideas at dawn or at nightfall, but not if I switch on the lights – then I start thinking about projects, deadlines, demands, and the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions, things that need to done, not a background to thought.” [Jeanette Winterson]

"To sit alone without any electric light is curiously creative." particularly strikes a chord, as well as "the shadows and shapes of the house become objects, not suggestions... not a background to thought."

There's a chance I misinterpreted the entire purpose of this art installation, but I like the direction it had me thinking in.

It sometimes feels odd and counter-intuitive to share subjective thoughts on a social network that runs on said 'electric light' with an audience focused on the 'outward', but I digress.

How strange to think that we almost halt specific thoughts/modes of expression because we, as a society, have accepted that we are to talk least about the things we think about most? But I digress.

Some other Maurice Denis pieces that I enjoyed:

[baronessblixen]

Frasier episode roundup! :DDD

Mel's a reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal stinker, huh. Niles picks all the bad ones, and Frasier picks (and leaps from) all the good ones.

LOVE Ferguson; and will always love Ferguson. One of my favorite S8 episodes.

Donny got engaged and married? So soon...? Uh oh. This smells like a rebound.

Roz and Frasier and Roz's ex Luke... within two seconds I wanted to get away from that dude; but I guess flattery will always catch (in this case desperate) people.

Mary's back! Sometimes I do and don't like her... but this episode was a x2 speed type of watch. (Just saw Stephen King as a call-in? Huh.)

I love Frasier's Harvard mentor. Love him, love him, love him. He needs to be in many more episodes. Wearing Roz's robe? The actor killed those scenes.

Frederick turning into a gamer shouldn't be as surprising as it was. I wonder if maybe Marty's genes skipped a generation. >:D

x2 speed on the car and Dalmatian episode; but it wasn't all that bad. (There really isn't an all-bad Frasier episode, though.)

The chaos trying to prevent the Shakespearean scifi actor from getting onstage was quite amusing. In similar scenarios, I'm usually annoyed or frustrated that things won't work out; but him quite literally crawling to the chair won me over.

The two parallel universes episode was intriguing-- two people meant to be, getting together regardless, awww-- and Bernadette Peters was a guest caller???? I gotta rewatch her segment.

Kenny! I liked him... then he got a wandering eye; and now I don't respect him. His wife was really nice, though. Liked her a whole lot.

Niles wins the basketball competition only to join Frasier in making a fool of himself. C'est la vie.

John Glenn going off on an alien rant while Roz and Frasier are bickering is just... so good.

x2 speed for the rich widow. I expected better of you, Martin. You should have known two women in the dark always ends in disaster, especially when Frasier flubbed it so badly last(?) season.

Martin shaming his sons in front of their wine club. I'm not sorry for them. >:)))

Daphne's back! And what a touching look into her and Niles's psyche. Him blurting out his problems with her, her taking it wrong, then both "having at" each other was freeing even for me.

Also, whichever episode had Niles struggling with Daphne's sleeping habits was gold.

Niles deciding to let Daphne keep her psychic opinion of herself was also sweet, awwwww.

FRASIER, WHY'D YA RUIN A GOOD THING WITH CLAIRE. (Also... she can do better. Also: it didn't seem like you two really meshed.) FRASIER, WHY ARE YOU SABOTAGING YOURSELF WITH LANA.

Lana's son was a fun character, though.

The finale was x2; but the rest of the arc was juicy, SO I finished it. XDD Fascinating little dig into Frasier's psychology. Intrigued to see what he does-- more likely doesn't-- with these revelations.

Overall: leagues better than the season where everyone at the station lost their jobs; but not the besssssst, either.

I had a good time, regardless. :DDDD

Glad you had a good time! This really shows me that I don't watch season 8 often cause most of these didn't even ring a bell 😂 it's definitely not my favorite season.

How do you watch an episode on double speed? I'm not sure I could follow the episode 😂

In my opinion, season 9 has better episodes.

[krakenguard]

Nah, but in all seriousness... Like the concern IS there, but I don't quite think Izzy's gonna end up dying.

I DO feel like they'll do an "Oh no! He's dead!" "No wait! HE'S ALIVE!" moment. 😋

... Case in point though, but what if Con's La Vie En Rose plays during the whole segment.

[aurevoirmonty]

Nous sommes aujourd'hui au bord d'un désert qui doit être traversé. Cela n'a pas de sens de le nier, de se croire en terre accueillante, de rêver pouvoir le contourner ou d'espérer que le temps le changera en paradis. C'est un désert. Mais nous savons que le désert, dont nous n'apercevons pas aujourd'hui les limites, tôt ou tard prendra fin. […] Nous savons qu'un temps viendra, qu'une façon viendra, de reconstruire une cité, de refonder une civilisation. Mais pas maintenant. On ne construit pas dans le désert. Les conditions élémentaires font défaut, les matériaux, l'eau, le ravitaillement manquent, le vent te fouette le visage, le sable t'aveugle, les mirages te trompent, les pillards sévissent, les assassins s'activent, tes com­pagnons et toi-même êtes sujets à d'humaines faiblesses.

Dans le désert, on peut seulement continuer à avancer, sans espoir de bâtir. On peut seulement chercher un abri, parce que la nuit tombe, pour reprendre la marche dans le matin incertain. Toujours vigilant, sur ses gardes. Remercions les Dieux pour ces rares oasis, pour ce filet d'eau. […]

Dans le sac à dos, il y a ce que tu as pu sauver. Il y a ce en quoi tu crois. Ta vie. Qui doit être conduite par-delà le désert. D'autres hommes, d'autres générations, d'autres individus inconnus, des gens que tu ne verras jamais, pas même tes propres fils, viendront. L'histoire l'enseigne. Des âmes semblables à la tienne, segments sur une même droite, fidèles aux mêmes Dieux. Il en naîtra encore. Il y en a toujours eu. Ce qui est certain, c'est que l'Extrême Conflit fut une défaite totale. Totale pour la géné­ration qui l'a mené, pour les millions de morts, pour les millions de survivants qui se sont avilis, pour notre génération, pour celle qui viendra après nous. Des catastrophes suivront dans quel­ques décennies, puis quelques autres décennies ne connaîtront que l'anarchie et les ruines, avec l'écroulement de toute institution civile. Mais certains seront là: pour récupérer ton sac et l'ouvrir.

Journal du vendredi 13 janvier 2023.

Vents d’Est : avril 1993-Avril 1999.

Les minorités dans l’ex-monde communiste d’Europe de l’Est  après la chute de l’empire soviétique. Je vais dans ce journal vous présenter dans le désordre des photos de ce travail initié en 1993 et terminé en 1999.

  Le livre Vents d’Est, publié en 2000 avait été conçu en quatre parties, les quatre saisons, métaphores de la vie qui passe. L’hiver regroupait les minorités en lutte ou en proies à des discriminations, le printemps accompagnait les minorités qui commençaient à s’en sortir avec une démocratie encore balbutiante et des portes qui s’ouvraient vers un futur, l’été et le bonheur retrouvé, ou tout simplement trouvé, et l’automne encore incertain avec des gouvernants qui se servaient des minorités comme d’une monnaie  d’échange, donnant donnant, politique oblige.

Les Tatars de Crimée étaient dans le printemps, espoir de jours meilleurs qui semblaient se profiler dans un ciel rempli des lumière de la liberté.

Avec la  prise de contrôle de la Russie sur la Crimé  en 2014, et en 2022 la guerre en Ukraine, c’est l’hiver qui revient en force avec son lot d’incertitudes.

Le gouvernement russe recherche avant tout de la chair à canon en faisant appel à des peuples minoritaires.

 Alors que Vladimir Poutine a annoncé une mobilisation partielle des forces de réserve russes pour aller combattre sur le front ukrainien, des ONG alertent sur une surmobilisation de certaines minorités.

C'est le cas de SOS Crimée (KrymSOS), qui dénonce la proportion de Tatars appelés en Crimée, ce territoire annexé par la Russie en 2014. 90% des convocations envoyées dans cette région leur auraient été adressées, selon des estimations préliminaires citées par l'organisation, alors qu'ils ne représenteraient que 13 à 15% de la population de cette région.

"Une telle ampleur de la mobilisation peut conduire à un génocide caché du peuple tatar de Crimée" dénonce Yevgeny Yaroshenko, analyste de SOS Crimée.

"Les Tatars de Crimée représentent le segment de la population le moins loyal à la Russie, et il était clair qu'ils étaient très soutenus par les récents succès militaires ukrainiens. Maintenant, ils sont punis", analyse pour le journal britannique Tamila Tasheva, cofondatrice de SOS Crimée et représentante du président ukrainien en Crimée.

"Ils ont d'abord essayé de nous acheter, puis ils ont essayé de nous réprimer et maintenant ils voient la mobilisation comme un moyen d'essayer de se débarrasser simplement de nous", a-t-elle ajouté.

Même constat en Bouriatie, où l'association Free Buryatia Foundation constate non pas "une mobilisation partielle" mais "une mobilisation à 100%". La présidente de l'organisation a en effet indiqué au Guardian avoir "reçu et identifié plus de 3000 documents livrés en Bouriatie dans les 24 heures suivant l'annonce du projet par Vladimir Poutine."

SAMEDI 23 NOVEMBRE 2024 (Billet 1 / 5)

« LA PLUS PRECIEUSE DES MARCHANDISES » (1h 21min)

Un film de Michel Hazanavicius, avec les voix de Jean-Louis Trintignant, Dominique Blanc, Denis Podalydes…

Critiques sur le Site AlloCiné Presse : 4,0 / Spectateurs : 4,1

Vous lirez ce que nous en avons pensé juste après cette critique « Pro ».

___________________________

Premier film d’animation présenté en compétition à Cannes depuis « Valse avec Bachir », ce conte sur la Shoah est principalement porté par une ambition pédagogique, certes non des moindres : il s’agit pour Hazanavicius de faire éprouver aux enfants l’horreur de l’Holocauste, à travers l’histoire d’un couple de bûcherons qui recueille un bébé « tombé » d’un train en route vers Auschwitz.

Adapté d’un livre de Jean-Claude Grumberg, le film anonymise tous les noms propres (des pays, des camps, des personnages) et remplace les Juifs par les « sans-cœur ». Cet enrobage parfois ridicule dans sa propension à la guimauve (comme lorsque les personnages répètent en boucle « les sans-cœur ont un cœur ! ») n’est toutefois que scénaristique : visuellement, le film ne triche pas. Quand il passe les portes du camp, on reconnaît bien les pyjamas rayés, les étoiles jaunes, les cheminées des chambres à gaz, les corps décharnés et même les cadavres rachitiques.

L’animation permet au cinéaste de contourner l’impératif moral de l’infilmable, en reproduisant les images traumatiques de « Nuit et brouillard ». Sur le terrain de la représentation de la Shoah, déjà amplement défriché par Lanzmann, le film emprunte une voie sinueuse : s’il n’y a effectivement aucun acteur qui incarne pour de faux ces visions devant une caméra, des anciens élèves de l’école des Gobelins ont bien dû animer image par image les os apparents des prisonniers, et le tout est noyé par les insupportables violons d’Alexandre Desplat (le compositeur de la bande-son – NDLR du Blog), qui « fictionnalisent » avec une certaine lourdeur l’horreur du génocide.

Il serait sans doute exagéré de pointer du doigt Hazanavicius sur cette question, tant on le sent absolument sincère dans ses intentions, mais ces dernières n’en font pas pour autant un bon cinéaste d’animation. Hormis quelques belles apparitions (le train dans la nuit) et une poignée de segments muets, le style et la mise en scène s’avèrent assez génériques : les personnages, avec leurs traits épais et leurs mouvements lissés, semblent particulièrement dénués de vie. Ni beau ni laid, le film n’est jamais vraiment déshonorant, mais il paraît reposer davantage sur un savoir-faire que sur un regard d’auteur.

(Source : « critikat.com »)

_______________________________

Nous y sommes allés le premier jour de sa sortie, à la première séance de l’après-midi. On dit que c’est cette séance qui prédit le succès qu’aura le film. La salle n’était pas archi pleine mais bien remplie. Le film devrait donc bien marcher. Les critiques « Pro » et « Spectateurs » sont excellentes… mais nous, malheureusement, nous avons été déçus.

Rien à dire sur les dessins, ils ont leur style, et sur les décors du dessin animé (réalisés par Michel Hazanavicius him-self), excellents… mais c’est le scénario qui nous a semblé « bancal ». Ça commence très classiquement comme un conte pour enfants, la voix-off est parfaite (nous avons toujours ADORÉ la voix de Jean-Louis Trintignant). On rentre dans l’histoire sans problème. Très vite, on s’attache à l’enfant, on est à fond du côté de la « bucheronne » et totalement contre le « mari bucheron », tout en se doutant que le « vilain mari » va, à un moment, être conquis par la « Plus Précieuse des Marchandises ». Et puis, le scénario (adapté du Conte écrit par Jean-Claude Grumberg) capote, à plusieurs moments… et pas du tout parce qu’on nous montre des choses tragiques. Non, paradoxalement, le film, à part le début, manque d’émotion. Peut-être que le réalisateur pensait que la musique allait être signifiante à ce sujet mais c’est tout le contraire. Certes, elle est très présente… mais surtout, trop bavarde !

A la fin, on reste sur sa faim. Le réalisateur n’y est pour rien, c’est l’histoire qui, à notre (humble) avis, est mal écrite. Une chose est sûre, contrairement à ce qui a été dit, ce n’est pas du tout un film pour enfants. Il y a trop de longueurs (au cinéma, on appelle ça des tunnels), on finit, c’est un comble avec un tel sujet, par s’ennuyer ! A noter, dans la dernière partie, une série de plans fixes (on n’en dit pas plus, on ne veut pas spolier), trop noirs, dans une séquence trop longue, qui pourrait les effrayer.

Marina donne au film ❤️❤️,5 cœurs sur 5 et JM, PAR RESPECT, préfère ne lui donner aucune note.
