early-stage blorbo acquisition: his name really is "ratio"... will i ever be able to take that seriously?

end-stage blorbo brainrot: he literally speaks latin in one of his combat voicelines, therefore giving my fic a pretentious latin title is not only canonically accurate but, in fact, a moral imperative

Masterpost | Ask | Guidelines | Timothy Olyphant Masterlist

"Hi there!"

You smile and feel stupid as Rachel greets you before sitting at her desk. You're so obvious it hurts.

"You ok?"

She seems genuinely worried about you. Rachel's tough, but, deep down, she's a sweetheart.

"Yup, just fine", you try another smile, one you know won't reach your eyes and make you look even more awkward, it's that even possible, "What about you?"

"She's lying", yes, deep down, Rachel is a sweetheart, but, on the surface, she is pretty insufferabe, just like all the other Marshals; maybe that's a sine qua non condition to get enrolled in the Services, "Gutterson, why is she lying?"

Wearifully tearing his eyes away from his computer screen, Tim sights and mutters "Just let it go, Brooks, alright?", before going back to what he's reading.

Tim was there, yesterday, he witnessed the whole debacle and he didn't even laugh. You love him for it.

Rachel is taking a big inspiration before - no doubt about this - pushing to know what happened in her absence when he enters the bullpen.

"Hi."

He's barely audible. For a man of his stature and a nasty little shit like him, it never stops surprising you.

Rachel looks at you as you don't smile. You don't even answer.

As she's turning to Raylan, ready to chew his head off without preamble, Tim steps in, without looking away from his screen this time, "Don't".

Rachel stays quiet, this is no fun if neither Tim, nor you are ready to harrass Raylan about whatever he did to piss you off. And if you don't want to laugh it off, it must be pretty bad.

It's not. It's so stupid it's embarrassing. And you're not pissed off. You're sad.

You're definitely not Marshal's material. Too kind. Too sweet. Too soft. But you do the job and you do it well. You're a little ray of sunshine, always smiling, babbling, putting on silly voices and making faces to make your coworkers laugh. It works. You know Chief Mullen would like it better if you were more serious, but you can't help it. With all the shit you have to put with everyday, if you don't blow off some steam from time to time, you're going to get crazy. And you know "serious" and "fun" are no opposite. You're the spoonful of sugar. You try to. And most of your coworkers likes you for it.

And then, there is Raylan, who doesn't give a shit. Except for the outlaws he tracks, Raylan doesn't give a shit about anything.

When you arrived in Harlan's Office, you first thought he was especially reserved with you because you were the newbie, and because your sweet dispositions maybe unsettled him a little. And maybe you were right, for he never was mean to you, quite the contrary. But you never managed to befriend him either. You were so impressed, so... enamored with whatever he did and said that you never could breach his shell, while you were very good friend with Tim and Rachel, and even something like a daughter to Chief Mullen.

This lack of proximity, of intimacy, it was eating you alive. All the acts of service you trip over yourself to offer him went unseen. All the little attentions you try to give him went either disregarded or kindly rejected. But you would have put yourself on fire to keep him warm. God...

Until one day, out of the blue, he did something sweet. something totally irrelevant. As the newbie, you were tasked with labelling the sealed proofs. It was no mystery, even an perfect moron could have done it, but it was tedious. You discovered that Raylan had had to do that job long before you and jumped on the occasion to have little conversations about it. Mostly about how a pain in the ass it was to wait for the machine to painfully engrave what you had typed out.

"Sweetie" he had said, "You shoulda' seen the fuckin' device I had to work with. Believe me or not, but the machine I used was even more tedious than yours."

Delighted, you had jumped on the occasion and asked more details about it, which he had willingly unveiled. As tiny and fragile as it was, it still was a bond. And when, at the end of the week, you had found the machine he used to engrave with just next to "yours", butterflies had bursted into your stomach. He had thought about you. He had thought about you, searched for the machine, moved it to put it next to the one you use and just... Waited for you to discover it. And it has absolutely no meaning, it held zero interest, but you rushed to his desk to thank him all the same. Since this day, you had convinced yourself Raylan somewhat liked you, in his own way. Why would he have showed you his old machine, otherwise?

But you were wrong. Raylan just... Doesn't care.

You manage to keep your eyes down for most of the morning, quietly typing away at your computer. Contrary to all of your coworkers, you have no problem with reports; so you agreed to review all of the ones Chief Mullen threws your way before someone hits the "send" button. You can do that all day, all week if you have to. The best strategy to avoid having to interact with Raylan is simple: just wait for him to leave in search of some action. Once he cleared the office, you can go about your own business in peace. But as Chief Mullen opens the glass door of his office to bark something to another Marshal in the bullpen, you instincively raise your head to see what the ruckus is about and you meet Raylan's gaze. He truly has the most entrancing eyes you ever saw. Before knowing him, you used to roll your eyes when you read about a character fussing other how deep and beautiful someone's eyes were, until you met Raylan and his gaze pinned you down. Until you found yourself staring into his eyes and smiling while he did the same. Until you found that, just when he's about to start some stupid shit, his eyes sort of gleams. You can't explain it, but you always know when he's up to no good before everyone.

Upon meeting his gaze, you force yourself to stay put. No smile. No tears. Then you go back to your screen. A few seconds later, you look again to see if he seems upset, but he's unfazed; annoyed with whatever he's working on, if anything. You can pout to your heart content, Raylan won't - ever - ask you what your problem is. He doesn't care.

You don't know Raylan very well; you really barely know him, to say the truth, but still enough to know he won't stay seated at his desk all morning. The man couldn't stay put, even if he wanted to. You don't have to wait for too long before his phone starts ringing and he's out the door in a heartbeat. Keeping your gaze focused on what you're working on is a true trial - no catching his eyes as he passes you by, no big smile, no little joke which always, always manages to make him laugh - but you pull it off. It seems deeply stupid, but avoiding his gaze as much as you can is very important. He could wink at you, and, by now - even if he can prove to be a true dumbass - you're almost sure he caught throwing you a wink probably is the easiest way to make you melt. Just like a goddamn schoolgirl, it makes you blush and fucking giggle, and smile to the void for the rest of the day... Hell, it's been so long since the last wink you got, you can't even remember when it was.

"So", Rachel starts once more when she's sure Raylan is out of the building and won't come back in the middle of the conversation, "What the fuck happened here?"

For the nth time that morning, Gutterson sighs, "Our coworker, here, is discovering how much Givens can be an asshole without meaning to; that's it."

"Well, that's old news, ain't it?"

"Not for her"

Brooks turns towards you, determined to set it clear; "So, what did he do, this time?"

But you definitely don't want to talk about it. This is so childish, so pathetic... You can feel the ball sitting in your sternum growing heavier each time you try to turn it into words. So Tim - hoping to get on with his goddamn report before the end of the day or before his sanity runs out, whatever comes first - takes the matter in his own hands.

"Remember the cinnamon rolls she baked that week-end?"

"Uhuh, they were delicious."

You smile to Rachel, happy that your little treats brang some joy into your office.

"Yeah, well, Raylan declines to even taste them."

Gutterson says it matter of factly. Almost sternly, like some tough truth everybody needs to take on. But Brook's loud reaction brings you some validation, "What?!"

"She went to him with the fluffiest pastry she had and, without even looking at them, he said 'no thanks' and went back to his business."

Tears come instantly to your eyes. Yes. Your crush declined to taste the treats you brang to the office and it made you sad to the point of crying; of still crying about it a whole day after the incident. Pathetic.

Eyes so round it would be comical if you didn't feel like shit, Rachel, with the hope to find some believable excuse to Givens' behavior - not to absolve him (God above, certainly not), but to soothe you - cautiously asks: "Did you tell him this was for your birthday?"

"Yes..." But he probably didn't even listen.

Rachel is fed up, now; her arms crossed on her chest and blowing air trough her nose.

"Goddamn it, girl... Why did you have to choose this moron, uh?"

"Didn't choose him."

"No, you were lightstrucked, right?", she scoffs; opening her arms wide and looking to the sky, "You saw him and you knew. I know he looks so good he could be a chippendale, but seriously-"

Rachel cuts herself in the middle of her rambling when she beholds you sob a laugh. She's right, Raylan is so, so pretty. It's not what lured you in, though. Nope. But that quiet confidence, that experience, all that knowledge coupled to that charming, disarming nonchalance... The bad temper and will for what's right are fucking sexy too. And, yes, those soulful eyes paired to that lightening smile are a true sight to behold, saying otherwise would be a lie. The imagery of the chippendale is hilarious, though; you're sure women would pay a pretty penny to look at Raylan disrobing himself, but you wouldn't. You want him to want it. You don't want a night, or a few of them, you want it all. And you know he can't give you what you want. Meh. Doesn't sound so hilarious, in the end.

You smile to Rachel, tired and wry. "Nonsense, all of it. I feel like I'm fifteen again and I hate every seconds of it, could we go back to work?"

She seems to get the memo, but not Tim.

"You should keep on givin' him the cold shoulder", he says, his brows furrowed.

"What?", you try to play it down, "Aw, please, we're not in the kindergarten anymore-"

"Come on", he insists, "You didn't even greet him back! Stop tripping over yourself to try and please him, let him mind his own business. Run away from him, and he will chase after you."

Now, you're laughing in disblief; "How in Hell can you think such a stupid plan could work?!"

"Not so stupid", of course, Rachel is going to side with Tim on this one, "If you stop being your... sugar-sweet self to him, he could scratch his stupid head and ask himself why".

You don't believe it, not even for an instant, but what other option do you have? You can do that, or you can just let it go.

You definitely should let it go.

"You know... You should keep on trying." You look at Rachel like she sprouts a second head. You would never have bet on such a piece of advice coming out of her mouth. "If you feel like it", she adds as a second thought.

"You never can tell", Tim sums up as he goes back to his own report.

You could ask to be relocated in another office, you could ignore that coworker you could easily work with without having to talk to more than once every other week, or you could simply grow up and stop all that shit altogether. But you don't want to. You want your stomach to flip when Raylans enters the room, the warmth and the butterflies, the mad blush and the feeling of your heart racing in your chest. So you decide to follow your friends' advice: no more sugar for Raylan Givens.

Ah!

A few hours later, you're tasked to tell him that someone up the ladder forgot to tell him he will have to transfer a dangerous inmate all by himself. You do it sternly, but not enough to hide your indignation about the situation from him, it seems, since it makes him laugh and just tells you everything will be alright. And you smile.

And when he almost rams into you, as he's rushing without looking where he steps and you're daydreaming and not paying attention to your surroundings, he stops a hair away from you, surprised to find you there. And you smile.

And when you have to discuss the problems in the file about the coming transfer of the dangerous inmate, he cracks jokes to you, and he laughs, throwing that 20 000 watts smile right into your face and goddamn it... How could you not laugh with him? In what parallel universe are you supposed to restist him? Is there a version on you, in the realm of infinite possibilities, who can even do that?

No.

Because, deep down, you know. You know he's not happy, that there's something broken in him, something that made him build up walls to never be breached ever again. Because you feel that loneliness and the disappointment that comes when everything he does to fill his empty heart backfires. Because you feel he's not ready for it, or only not ready to embrace it, but also that he knows he can't go on like this forever.

You know you should just give up on him; or, at the very least, listen to your coworkers, but you can't. You know you need to be there for when he'll be tired of dancing in the dark.

The end.

[fimproda]

Ok! Then without being too personal, name 5 places you would love to visit, or places people have talked to you about them very well and are excited to see

Oooh, this is nice!

The Cristo Velato in the Sansevero chapel in Naples. There's a superstition that, if you're a Federico II University student, you can't go and see the Cristo Velato before graduating or you'll never graduate. I'm not a very superstitious person, but I don't want to tempt fate. The Sansevero chapel also has many other great statues and works of art, and Sansevero himself was an interesting figure who dabbled in alchemy and the occult. My cup of tea, basically.

Syracuse in Sicily, with going to the Greek theater as conditio sine qua non. I can't die without watching a play in a Greek theater, it would be unbecoming for a person with my kind of education.

The Grotta Azzurra in Capri. I actually visited Capri in 2015, but meteorological conditions weren't great and entrance to the Grotta was forbidden.

Bran Castle in Romania. It's Dracula's castle, and I think this is reason enough.

A Cirque du Soleil show. I don't care which one, I just want to see acrobats doing tricks and flying through the air and reaffirming my bisexuality.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ♥️

Ahh! Thanks babe 💛 This is genuinely so hard though, because there are lots of fics that I really like for like...different reasons? Also I've been writing for...hahaha almost two decades now? (That's scary to say, shit.) And while most of my teenage stuff now feels cringy and all, I've been fairly prolific even during the last few years! But ok here's a handful of the ones that come to mind naturally/right away (with plenty of recency bias I'm sure)...

Sine Qua Non - (Aimeric/Regent) Both the best thing I wrote in Captive Prince fandom (in the sense of like...style, character work, even plot) and also the most underrated. Like, I get that it's a serious take on CSA (as opposed to it being like underage kink or something) and with like lots of worldbuilding of the sort that I don't think this fandom cares for, but still I think it's underrated.

On the Relativity of Truth - (Christian von Brockdorff/Andrey V. Gudovich) My niche interest enemies-to-lovers 18th century RPF epic (well, 10k but that's still quite long for me.) Also, somehow, a 5 + 1 trope.

Like Northern Stars - (Tristheon, Throbb) While a modern AU, I'm somehow so fond of this 'verse. And I do love how this fic ended up vis-a-vis style and plot/structure. There were some things that could have been done better, what with the time constrains and all, but it's 20k of somehow so much of what I have to say about both of these ships lol.

Someone Else - (Robb/Raynald W.. Throbb) I have a real soft spot for this fic. It's definitely the kind of thing that is like...it comes to you in the middle of the night...you write it in one go...and it's somehow Best. I'm very pleased with how this came out stylistically.

Carry Me Home - (Theon & Robb) Well, I couldn't not mention this one lol. Though, I almost feel like my favorite thing about it at this point is that it contributed to the existence of I Know My Kingdom Awaits :D

[a-tarassia]

Praticamente io ci sto pure a non correggere la gente che parla e scrive male soprattutto online che non abbiamo toni, ritmo, cadenza e gesti quindi scrivere bene dovrebbe essere sacrosanto anche se mi metti le h a caso, insomma io ci starei pure a reprimere la grammar nazi che c'è in me, ma famo a capisse:

Se io parlo e scrivo bene, intendo sintatticamente di struttura, grammatica, ci penso e faccio in modo di non dare nulla per scontato perché non voglio fraintendimenti e poi tu non sai l'italiano, che uno può pure venirmi a dire che non hai avuto modo di studiare, ma sappiamo tutti che non è condizione sine qua non ok? Quindi tu leggi e non capisci la mia espressione minuziosa e attenta prodotta per evitare una torre di Babele tra appartenenti allo stesso ceppo e periodo linguistico e nonostante dico nonostante il mio sforzo le tue capacità cognitive restano quelle di un neonato allora io a quale Madonna mi devo appellare di grazia? Alla Madonna del cric nel bagagliaio? E cosa mi vieta quindi di smettere di esercitare l'italiano come cristo comanda e iniziare a comunicare come una scimmia qualunque, tutto il rispetto per la scimmia.

Nel senso fino dove, dico io fino dove volete portarmi?

Grazie.

Respect HER for what SHE is

~I'm a woman, not a mother ~

🌺💐💃🏃‍♀️🧘‍♀️👯‍♀️🤽‍♀️🧠👗👘🥿👛👠👜💍💄💎👑👒

For eons, women have been ascribed to motherhood so much that it turned into a toxic hive mentality which promotes that the two concepts are interchangeable.

Women are burdened with the weight of motherhood from childhood. Society crafted a clever mishiveous way to wire the women's heads into thinking that motherhood is an obligation that no woman can evdade; a sine qua non value to her very existence, therefore negating and annulling her own principles and feelings.

Young girls are introduced to motherhood via baby toys, social media and society so that they'd grow up with the already inoculated idea that motherhood is the rightful, karmic life purpose of any woman, in order to accede to happiness.

The kernel of modethood is cleverly ingrained into the minds of the young girls and nourished until it becomes a poisonous plant they impairs judgement and hard-wires the brain into craving for motherhood with their lives and beyond - - like a powerful drug that's self-destructive and alters the personality.

Baby dolls - - the creepiest toy ever designed! - - advertised in an eye-grabbing glamorized manner to appeal to young girls, women who force them to interact with real human beings and ramming it into their brains that their life goal is to become mothers because that's exactly what society expects from them.

Most of the women grow up with the earmark of motherhood under the pretense that a woman's life purpose is to bear and rear offsprings.

From the first human vestiges in prehistoric times and the first female statue unearthed, women were synonymous to motherhood.

Human beings didn't make statues or women; they made statues of mothers. It's motherhood and fertility that's celebrated as rites and cultes, not women.

Instead of celebrating women, society celebrates her reproductive organs and the ability to host fetuses which is as sad as it is unfair because it negates the uniqueness of a sentient being in lieu of one of the most infinitesimal of a woman's attributes.

A woman is far more than a pair of reproductive organs and just because she was equipped with a pair of reproductive organs doesn't mean that they are her identification card too; it's not a pair of ovaries and an uterus that make her a woman!

Womanhood and femeinity are cushioned in the mind, in the heart, in the soul; womanhood is a state of mind, with a psychological and a spiritual component annexed to it. I am a woman because that's how I FEEL, and not because a pair of organs and a rush of chemical substances - hormones - anticipate fecundation every month.

Nature and evolution are impersonal entities and life on earth is the product of chain-events and extraneous factors. They ensured that any sentient species survived and reproduces to ensure the perpetuation of the species.

But it also created a paradox; human beings are equipped with superior intellect that are capable to rationalize, to think critically, to be self-conscious, to analyze and quest their very purpose and the origins of their existence. Also, we have the superb ability to introspectively reflect about our feelings.

We developed goals and ambitions, we listen to our own inner tones and write our own music. We listen more to our brains and hearts than our bodies.

We prioritize and we learnt to have self-control. Critical thinking helps us discern that we're more than biologically programmed mammals in a crave to replicate our DNA.

So, women learnt that they are more than mindless bipedal human incubators for babies. It's just disgusting that her feelings are often negated and her hopes and dreams crushed en route, just because society dubbed women as fertile grounds waiting to be ingrained. 🤬😡🤬😡🌩️

The concept of womanhood and femeinity is metaphysical in all the glory of her ineffable wort; a woman is a mesmerizing enigma that no universal law of biology can ever describe.

She's a woman because she feels like it from the bottom of hear heart. Womanhood doesn't reside in the pits of her belly. It oozes from her spirit.

That's where the core of transgender discrimination and oppression lies - - in the fact that the hearts and minds have been banished into nothingness by biology alone. She, isn't defined through a pair of reproductive organs because reproduction isn't what define a sentient human being.

What defines a woman, what makes her her is the unparalleled delicacy, her untouchable wisdom and cleverness, how creative her vivid mind is, how empathic to capture human emotions, how she can be as strong as a lioness without losing her grace and elegance, how she refers to beauty and her unborn sense for aesthetics, how she can be multidimensional and polivalent with such irresistible tenacity and eloquence.

How she personifies eternal beauty, tenderness and innocence, while striving to accomplish her dreams with cleverness and inegabale mental and physical fortitude.

Grace, beauty, intelligence and fortitude fused together into the elixir of the universe. She is in everywhere, in every single particle, in every sun and star. She, isn't a an incubator or an eggs releaser, no. She is spirit and beauty and wisdom.

The glamorized exacerbated concept of motherhood crushes a woman's inner ambitions. Childfree or infertile women are shunned as outcasts and ostracized by the society, gaping as a deep, dark rift into her self-esteem. In ancient times, childless women were viewed as witches or damned creatures that are to be avoided or disposed of.

Women were the messangers of misfortune bad omen if they didn't host fetuses.

Modern society isn't far behind either. Society looks down own childfree women who reject the imposed motherhood in favor of pursuing their own dreams.

Motherhood is used as a romanticized instrument to control women and strip them off their reproductive rights.

Wives are EXPECTED to give men children, it becomes their obligation and thus a woman's body becomes a PUBLIC GOOD to be used upon convenience.

And not only they are shamed for not complying but also abandoned, raped, abused and the heavily patriarchal society encourages it.

When a childfree woman summons the courage to come clean with her CHOICE she steals gaping and horrified reactions from the society; her choice is welcomed with rejection and violence.

Women don't have ownership of their bodies as they are tricked into thinking that they don't have a FREE CHOICE in the matter.

Women don't even THINK that they CAN legitimately THINK about reproducing, because society teaches them from early years that reproduction is MANDATORY.

An intrinsec condition to being a woman - - like an inescapable curse. Beauty =/= fertility; womanhood isn't synonymous with fertility. A woman's body is to be loved and treasured for hosting the beauty of her soul, the light in her heart and the brille of her mind, and not because it could become a vessel for a child.

Her body deserves love because SHE deserves love and appreciation and not because it can become a host.

Being a woman shouldn't become a sentence to an unwanted life. Womanhood isn't a curse. Womanhood is a gift, a blessing, but not because it comes with a pair of reproductive organs.

Not all women have motherly instinct and that's perfectly normal. SHE, who is NOT a mother is perfectly normal. She isn't some bewitched monster to be avoided and annihilated at all costs, she isn't an alien from outer space.

She is a sentient being with her own set of values and goals and principles and she's beautiful and perfect just the way she is.

Women have a myriad of qualities and endless potential. They can be and they have the RIGHT to be whatever they want to be. They have a voice to express themselves and they must be heard and acknowledged and respected for it.

Just because someone is different it doesn't mean that she poses an attack to the very identity and existence of another. She just wants to be herself and that doesn't mean that she must fit into a predesigned pattern; she, isn't a pattern, a model. She is unique.

Maybe she wants to devote her body to arts, to love, to intimacy, and not to grow children, and that's perfectly ok.

Maybe she wants to use her delicate hands to create, to mold with clay, to forge in fire, to drive, to create, and not to change diapers. And that's perfectly normal.

Maybe she wants to life for herself, to spoil and pamper herself, to devote her undivided time to herself or her friends or her her lover, and not to rear another human being. And that's perfectly ok.

Women can contribute infinitely to society and they don't need to bear and rear children for it. She can already use her amazing skills to make the world a better place for the millions of suffering people or save endangered animals.

Women live in perfect communion with nature, intoning the same solfege as understanding the secret language and poetry of nature itself, through empathy and wisdom.

Her very existence is a blessing. She doesn't need to be a mother to prove her worth. She ALREADY is worthy in all her splendid beauty.

Women deserve love and respect for what they ARE and not for what they are EXPECTED to be, for no one is entitled to decide for her.

I'm a woman because that's how I FEEL. I'm a woman because that what I WANT. Womanhood and femeinity can be in everyone of us as an undeniable GIFT and no one has the right to strip a woman off this privilege.

Childfree women ARE women. Because a pair of reproductive organs can't postulate and define the soul and the heart of a sentient human being.

Womanhood and women aren't synonymous to motherhood and mothers and motherhood should never be used to invalidate and negate the self-identity of a sentient being.

And motherhood isn't innate and instinctual. There are many women who don't have motherly instincts. Respect them.

Respect women.

Respect her for what SHE is.

THE SUIT FOR CELEBRATING

by David Isle

New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year when it’s OK to wear black tie, almost no matter where you’re going. Even if you’re the only person wearing a tuxedo, it’s understood to be part of an atmosphere of festivity, and no more ridiculous than the guy wearing the HAPPY NEW YEAR glittered plastic top hat.

Whereas in Britain the tuxedo began as a more informal way of dressing for dinner at home or at your club (hence the term “dinner suit,” used in England instead of “tuxedo”), in the United States the tuxedo has always been a celebratory garment. It’s a uniform for merry making. But even if black tie is not bowling, it’s certainly not ‘Nam, so there are rules. The first is that you must wear a black bow tie. Do not try to “mix it up” with some cyan nonsense or “have some fun” with some paisley confection. And heaven help you if you wear a long tie.

The second rule is that you wear a white shirt.

Finally, you must wear black shoes.

This is the bare minimum, the sine qua non of black tie.

But every further detail that distinguishes your outfit from the look of a normal business suit is one that will bring out the tuxedo’s fun-loving character. For example, instead of your usual white shirt, wear a dress shirt that has either a bib or pleated front, and closes with studs instead of buttons. The studs help break up the expanse of white between your bow tie and your waist.

And that waist should be covered. It used to be that men would always cover their waist. Either they would wear a three-piece single-breasted suit or a double-breasted suit. While two-piece single-breasted business suits are now common, a waist covering remains standard for black tie. Either an evening waistcoat – cut low, to show the shirt studs – or a cummerbund will do.

Evening pumps are as elegant as men’s shoes get. But if you feel funny wearing shoes with bows, or if you don’t want to buy an expensive pair of shoes you’ll rarely wear, at least give your black oxfords an extra shine before putting them on with your tux.

If your shoes end up a little too shiny for the first few work days of next year, they will reflect the final revels of this one.

Quality content, like quality clothing, ages well. This article first appeared on the No Man blog in December 2013.

Una lettera

È ok. Va bene questa distanza, se può essere di conforto. Se non lo è, provvediamo a far ciò che si deve. Io sono qui, in questa solitudine. Ogni tanto fa freddo, o mi sta stretta e scomoda, ma trovo il modo di riempire questi vuoti con me stesso, crescendovi riempito da creatività, innocenza, autoconservazione e amore per me stesso. Sto studiando, ho qualche euro in tasca, sto crescendo. Quel film mi ha fatto vedere così tanto che ho rimpianto di non averlo visto prima. Forse è stato meglio così. Ho capito che sei stata un angelo, mandata per portarmi salvezza, a conti fatti è ciò che hai fatto, nonostante io fossi un ometto divorato dalle paure e dal mio desiderio. A tuo discapito ho avuto innumerevoli occasioni, per finir col fare errori terribili, da cui imparare. Hai fatto di me un uomo a tue spese. Non ti chiederò mai più altre chances. Non ti chiederò di fidarti, non ti chiederò di tornare ad amarmi. Non ti chiederò nulla, tu non dovrai più darmi nulla, alla fine l'ho capito. Sono arrivato al punto di essere insopportabile esasperando vecchie situazioni che non hanno più senso d'essere. Pateticamente, nulla più mi è dovuto da molto tempo. È il momento per me di dare invece, di avere pazienza e così sta accadendo: sento che le cose ora possono veramente andare meglio. Ho finalmente ricominciato ad essere dalla "parte giusta" della divisione netta fra chi può fare il bene e coloro che possono fare il male. Sono bene, sto bene. Riavvicinarci sarà quindi una scelta per te. Dovrà essere per te un bene, condizione sine qua non. Io ti aspetterò, non c'è fretta. Aspetterò il momento giusto crescendo, approfondendo questo mio essere finalmente adulto. Lo farò con la gioiosità di un bambino, cercando la saggezza che la vita dà a coloro che sanno ascoltare, in attesa di poter nuovamente essere tuo dandoti un amore infinito e puro. Forse leggere ciò non ti farà piacere: so che hai bisogno di essere lasciata andare, e così ho fatto. So anche ciò che mi attende aderendo a certe politiche, e vorrei confortarti perché ne ho consapevolezza e sono libero da preconcetti: nulla è dato per certo/scontato, nulla è dato per impossibile. Ciò che mi preme veramente tanto è ringraziarti. Spero tanto di rivederti presto, spero che il futuro mi dia un giorno occasione per sanificare le ferite che ti ho lasciato e per fare del bene.

Fabio.

ABEILLES :: Récupération d’un essaim (2)

Maintenant que nous sommes prêts, il s’agit d’atteindre l’essaim et de le taper dans une caisse ou directement sur la ruchette. Quand l’essaim est difficile d’accès, on va couper la branche pour simplifier l’affaire.

Ici, Théo est monté dans l’arbre pour courber la branche

Pas de chance, une partie de l’essaim est tombé au sol... Il va falloir créer des petits ponts (frottés à la mélisse) pour faire monter tout ce petit monde.

Si la reine n’est pas dans la ruche, on verra l’essaim se reformer un peu plus loin, il n’y a plus qu’à recommencer la manipulation. C’est ce qui s’est passé du côté du sapin (qui est un thuya), on a coupé les branches à chaque fois pour compléter la ruche, en les posant simplement dessus.

L’essentiel est que la reine se soit installée dans la ruchette, c’est la condition sine qua non pour le reste de la colonie prenne possession des lieux. Pour savoir si la reine est dedans, on observe les abeilles aux entrées de la ruches, certaines d’entre elles vont lever leur abdomen vers le ciel pour signifier au reste de la colonie que c’est bien là qu’il faut aller.

Dans certains cas, la colonie complète repart dans la journée, menée par une reine peu convaincue du charmant habitat que l’on avait pourtant pris soin de lui préparer.

Idéalement la ruchette a été posée à son endroit définitif (orientation sud-est, à l’abri du vent) en prenant soin de laisser suffisamment de place pour échanger la ruchette contre une ruche le moment venu. Si tout nous semble ok, on pose le nourrisseur et le toit, éventuellement un papier isolant si le temps est frais et on vérifie que la porte est placée dans la bonne position (arches vers le bas).

S’il vous faut déplacer l’essaim, que vous avez trouvé chez tata Gilberte et qui est allergique, il suffit de placer la porte en position transport (perforations vers le bas) et d’emporter ce petit monde vers un petit coin de paradis agrémenté de mille espèces florales.

Dans une dizaine, quinzaine de jours, on pourra ouvrir la ruchette pour contrôler que tout se passe bien, si on ne trouve pas de couvain, que l’on ne trouve pas la reine, que les ouvrières se sont mise à pondre (des faux-bourdons stériles) il faudra taper les cadres un peu plus loin en ayant pris soin d’enfumer largement la ruche afin que les abeilles se fassent éventuellement accepter dans les autres ruches en y apportant un peu de miel... Si par bonheur, tout se passe pour le mieux, que l’on trouve des cellules de couvains à différents stades, que la ruche est active, on pourra remplacer la ou les partitions par des cadres à bâtir et préparer une ruche définitive pour transfert lorsque tous les cadres seront bâtis et investis..

Il n’y a plus qu’a espérer que la colonie va prospérer et nous faire du bon miel!
