Sunset formation, as I called the file. A Yellow Reaper, Mauerfuchs, and a black Regal Copper, the sizes are a bit off though.
edit: just remember why I didn't post it when I drew it ^^' and that is because I saw this wonderful art by @/laurelhach and wanted to play around with my brushes to see if I could draw something like that, only with the formation of a Temeraire RPG I was part of at the time. So if you enjoy this then please check out laurelhach's, it's honestly better and I love both drawings in the post!

Flow Finance Fun (FFF): The Consumer Crypto & DeFi
Tumblr media
If you’ve never heard of Flow blockchain, you might have been cryogenically frozen for the last half-decade or have never watched a free throw at the NBA. Perhaps you don’t like cute kittens — who doesn’t? Well, before consumer crypto existed, Dapper Labs, the team that built Flow blockchain and responsible for Dapper wallet, clogged the Ethereum network with their wildly successful launch of CryptoKitties — the first mainstream digital collectible, garnering 1.3 million transactions in a matter of seconds.
Roham Gharegozlou (Co-Founder/CEO) and Dieter Shirley (CTO) — who also coined the term Non-Fungible Token (NFT) — envisioned a new era for consumer crypto. In September 2020, Flow’s mainnet beta launched. It only made sense to build their own blockchain, migrate the CryptoKitties over, and ensure that what came next was not only eco-friendly and fee-efficient but also capable of handling network demands with speed and ease, at scale.
What happened next? A guaranteed three-pointer for the future of consumer crypto and DeFi.
NBA Top Shot. If you’ve heard it a million times, hear it a million and one. It wasn’t just impressive to land an international powerhouse sports league — the success was parabolic. Over $1 billion in total sales volume within the first year — and not a single network failure, might I add. So, it was no surprise when a wave of iconic entertainment and sports brands lined up on the horizon, ready to crown Flow blockchain as the builder of consumer crypto and culture, all while keeping its sights locked on the future of consumer DeFi.
Go #WTF (With The Flow)
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer depth of brands in the Flow ecosystem. I’d bet on my lucky star that you’re already a fan of at least one of these brands — or maybe you drifted off to sleep, dribble and all, tucked in with The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. Yep, Flow blockchain has collectibles featuring Dr. Seuss characters and even Disney, which has only been capturing hearts since 1923 and 1937. But hey, who’s counting? Now you're starting to understand how Flow blockchain began trends in consumer crypto.
Here is a quick timeline of reputable brands built on the Flow blockchain:
NBA Top Shot: October 2020 – Officially licensed NBA highlight NFTs.
NFL All Day: August 2022 – Digital video collectibles of iconic NFL moments.
UFC Strike: January 2022 – Officially licensed UFC highlight NFTs.
Doodles 2: January 2023 – Dynamic, customizable NFTs from the Doodles universe.
Dr. Seuss Collectibles: July 2021 – Limited edition digital collectibles featuring Dr. Seuss characters.
MotoGP Ignition: March 2021 – MotoGP NFT collectibles and a strategy-based management game.
AFL Mint: August 2022 – Officially licensed AFL highlight NFTs for Australian football fans.
Disney Pinnacle: November 2023 – Officially licensed digital pins featuring beloved Disney characters.
Real Madrid Tickets: December 2023 – Officially licensed digital tickets for Real Madrid matches.
Flow blockchain has consistently brewed bangers, in culture and entertainment amounting to a current market cap over half a billion dollars, but let’s not forget — it once soared to a whopping $5.4 billion during the glory days of 2021. Ahh, those were the days, when NFTs were flying off the shelves faster than avocado toast at a Sunday brunch.
Isolated Consumer Crypto
Flow’s rise of consumer crypto projects was nothing short of monumental, introducing top brands and millions of users to blockchain technology. Despite all its success, Flow’s ecosystem was a little too isolated, just for a little while, missing out on the action happening across other blockchains. With network restrictions, limited cross-chain interoperability, and a noticeable lack of consumer DeFi. Well that all changed, and changed rapidly with two major gear shift.
But before I dive into what happened, I just want to take a quick detour and touch on why consumer DeFi matters. The godfather cryptocurrency Bitcoin, kicked off with the simple premise of holding and transferring value — it started as DeFi. Over time, it evolved into building financial infrastructure that complements existing banking systems while branching off into more efficient and accessible financial services. This evolution is key to how we transact, invest, and exchange value in our daily lives.
If you want to really get into the nitty-gritty of DeFi Lending, I’d suggest digging a little deeper into DeFi Lending Explained.
Flow Consumer DeFi Unleashed
I promised to highlight the two major gear shifts in Flow blockchain — and as the subheading suggests, here they are. The first gear shift came with Flow’s push into consumer DeFi, building a string of protocols ranging from token swaps to collateralized lending, and extending the boundaries into undercollateralized lending. Personally, I see this as the ultimate pursuit — one that brings blockchain closer to matching traditional banking services.
The second gear shift happened in August 2024, when Flow blockchain threw open the floodgates with Flow EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine). This move allows seamless integration with Ethereum’s EVM, enabling cross-chain interoperability, expanding consumer DeFi opportunities, and attracting increased developer adoption.
In just a handful of years, consumer DeFi projects have been built on and integrated with Flow blockchain — and this is only the beginning. Talk about consumer crypto commitment. But Flow isn’t stopping there. It’s putting a unique spin on consumer DeFi, and KittyPunch is a prime example. It’s a mobile game. It’s an NFT. You can stake it, bridge it, and soon, vaults will be in play. You can’t make this stuff up — it’s real, and it’s only happening on Flow.
What’s even more exciting is how gamification is quietly seeping into DeFi, and Flow is seamlessly integrating this approach. By blending fun, engagement, and token incentives, Flow isn’t just capturing attention — it’s creating a more dynamic, sticky, and rewarding ecosystem for users.
DeFi Protocols
Flowty: February 2022 – Peer-to-peer NFT lending and borrowing platform, allowing users to leverage NFTs for liquidity.
KittyPunch: April 2022 – NFT/Token swaps, on-chain yield, farming and pool. Coming soon are vaults and aggregators.
Ankr: June 2022 – Infrastructure provider offering RPC services and staking solutions enhancing Flow’s connectivity.
Bridge Flow: October 2022 – A bridge enabling the seamless transfer of assets between Flow and other blockchain networks.
Trado: December 2022 – Decentralized trading with deep liquidity pools.
Stargate Finance: January 2023 – Cross-chain liquidity protocol that enables seamless asset transfers between Flow and other blockchains.
IncrementFi: June 2023 – Comprehensive DeFi platform offering swaps, farming, lending, and staking solutions.
Sturdy Finance: December 2023 – DeFi Lending protocol offering high-yield, collateralized borrowing options.
MORE Markets: July 2024 – DeFi Lending protocol, enabling borrowing and lending of digital assets at competitive rates.
Zapper: March 2025 – Leading DeFi dashboard, providing users with a streamlined interface to track assets.
Flow Rewards
As extensive as Flow’s list of consumer apps and partnerships is — all amassed in such a short time — they’ve taken things even further by aggregating their entire ecosystem into an additional Flow Rewards system. I say “additional” because each protocol already has its own built-in perks. But this? This is the icing on the cake.
By simply engaging with the Flow ecosystem, earn rewards, boxes and keys, that can be used to redeem rewards. We’re talking swag, sick merch, and hot tech. Will we see Lambo? Who knows. But all of it is born from Flow culture that makes Flow... well, flow.
Flow Ecosystem
Did you think that’s all they’ve been up to? Nope. Flow's consumer crypto has also pulled in innovative builders who are cranking out next-level applications in gaming, resources, and digital collectibles. And these aren’t just random side quests — they’re shaping the future of Web3 consumer economy, consumer services, and giving users new ways to engage with smart contracts. Flow’s growing stack of projects is adding more firepower to an already loaded ecosystem.
Hoodlums: November 2021 – First PFP project on Flow with 5,000 uniquely generated characters.
Flovatar: December 2021 – NFT platform enabling users to create and customize unique characters.
The Party Gooberz: March 2022 – Comical generative NFT collection on Flow.
Flowverse Mystery Pass: May 2022 – Flow resource hub providing a marketplace and utility-focused membership pass enhancing Flowverse experiences.
AiSports: September 2022 – Free-to-play game centered around NBA Top Shot, enhancing fan engagement through interactive experiences.
Metaverse Football League (MFL): April 2023 – Virtual football management game where users guide clubs to success.
Heroes of the Flow: September 2023 – Mobile auto-battler game set in a post-apocalyptic world.
Final Thoughts
If I sound like an excited kid in a candy shop, it’s because I am — and who wouldn’t be? Flow blockchain is blending consumer crypto and consumer DeFi with culture, tech, and creativity, making DeFi feel fresh again. This isn’t just about token swaps and lending — it’s immersive gaming, dynamic NFTs, and seamless cross-chain action inside a vibrant, purpose-built ecosystem.
Flow blockchain is attracting world-class brands, driving widespread adoption, and redefining digital ownership. As more innovative projects roll in, the ecosystem isn’t just growing — it’s evolving, creating endless opportunities for users and builders.
Add in rewards, perks, merch, and incentives baked into the community. Flow blockchain proves consumer DeFi can be fun, engaging, and addictive — not just financial.
Flow isn’t just building — it’s laying down a groove where DeFi, gaming, and ownership come together. That’s Flow Finance Fun (FFF)!

STARCROSSED ( Charles Leclerc x Oc)
Tumblr media
PREVIOUS CHAPTER NEXT CHAPTER
MASTERLIST
Summary: It really takes a village pt1
FACECLAIM: The extraordinary Tems
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE CHARACTERS DOES NOT REFLECT THE REAL PERSONALITIES OF THE INDIVIDUAL UPON WHOM THEY ARE BASED. I AM MERELY BORROWING THEIR PHYSICAL LIKENESS AND THE PROFESSION THEY HAVE FOR THE SAKE OF THIS NARRATIVE
TW: Cringiness from the writer, grammatical errors (have mercy english is my semi firsr language)
Monte Carlo, Monaco
It was a quiet night, the sky an inky velvet blanket shined with stars, the streets nearly deserted. The gentle hum of the sea lapping against the harbor could barely be heard through the open window of Charles Leclerc’s apartment. Charles was slumped on his couch, and his mother Pascale sat beside him, she was the only anchor of peace he had at the moment.
For a while they remained silent, the silence was not as comforting as it usually was.
Pascale knew her son, his way of thinking and problem solving, but clearly at the moment her son was feeling suffocated by his own thoughts.
“ Charles” her voice was soft, she placed her hand gently on his hand, rubbing in a slow comforting circle.
“ You don’t need to say anything, remember I’m always hear”
He raised his head, his eyes read and glossy.  He blinked, taking in the familiar faces of his mother, he deeply exhaled he was finally safe at home.
“ Maman it hurts” he said, his voice almost inaudible “ I thought that she..” his voice shaked, the sentence trailing off as a fresh wave of pain hit him.
She continued to try to console the young man, looking at him with compassion. Charles’ eyes sparkled everytime when he was talking about Leah, everybody could see that the driver was in love. Obviously in all relationships there was some up and down, but with more time passed, more problems were showing up. 
“ You really loved her didn’t you?” she asked
Charles softly nodded, “ I did……I thought we were something special and deep, we promised each other that we would be there for each other, in any situation" 
“ Did you think she was the one Charles?” she asked, the room was silent one more time. She carefully stared at him, while he was trying to force words out of his mouth, but nothing came out, he didn’t have an answer.
“ It’s alright if you don’t know” shesaid, her voice filled with love.
Charles swallowed hard “ I really thought she was the one Maman” his voice was croaky “After all this I don’t know…. how can I ?” he rubbed his face confused
“ I still can’t believe, I didn’t expect it, yes I’ve busy….” he sighed “ her best friend’s boyfriend, how can she be the one I fell in love?” he said astonished.
“ Charles you loved her, of course you trusted her, but unfortunately sometimes the people we love the most are the one who hurt us”
Charles leaned into his mother’s embrace, resting his head on her shoulder, he didn’t say anything else for a long time.
"Do you think I’ll ever find someone who’s really… the one?" he asked eventually, his voice laced with uncertainty.
Pascale smiled softly, pressing a kiss to his temple. "You will. But you don’t need to rush it, Charles. Love will come when it’s meant to. And when it does, you’ll know. Truly know."
Charles closed his eyes, letting her words settle into his heart, allowing himself the small comfort they brought. He didn’t have all the answers right now, and maybe that was okay.
Maybe healing didn’t come from having everything figured out, but from the quiet moments of support, the love that never wavered, even when everything else did.

Can Money buy Forgiveness ?

It looks like drama is brewing in the celebrity world once again! According to reports, since 5 a.m. this morning, a flurry of activity has been spotted outside actress Renée's house. Couriers have been seen going in and out, delivering flowers and lavish gifts, sparking speculation. An insider has apparently managed to get a scoop from one of the delivery drivers, who confirmed that the gifts are coming from none other than model Ben Fields.
For those not in the loop, Ben Fields allegedly cheated on Renée with her best friend, influencer Leah Dawn. The question on everyone's mind now: is Ben trying to win Renée back after his betrayal? Only time will tell if these grand gestures are enough to heal the damage caused by the scandalous affair.
Stay tuned for updates!

#VidaReal Globoface clássica em TrueType, existe?!...
Acabo de descobrir que a famosa “fonte do gerador de caracteres da Globo”, que também frequentou alguns comerciais impressos da Volkswagen, com algumas alterações, SIM, chegou a existir em formato digital.
E mais, em um GC igual ao do SBT (na verdade, todas as emissoras, menos a Manchete e a TV Cultura, já usaram esse equipamento, incluindo outras empresas como Polishop, TVE, Radiobrás, Rede Gospel, Televisa e Walt Disney do Brasil - sei lá, acho que só eu não tive esse GC na América Latina mesmo - e era em Standard Definition, imagine se fosse HD. E mais, a TV Globo usava em programações secundárias, como aberturas de minisséries estrangeiras em uma época em que eles decidiram fazer um visual próprio para cada minissérie - e aparentemente também era o GC do TV Pirata de 1988 a 1990. A TVE fazia um telejornal inteiro, de madrugada, só com as notícias na tela usando esse GC.
Tumblr media
(Programa Livre, em 1991. Upload de Êgon Bonfim.)
Era o da Rede Paranaense, em 1992 - a mesma daquelas telas paradas de 1999. Aquela que já me fez arrancar os cabelos de como seu padrão visual era diferente das outras, fora um certo mau gosto nas trilhas sonoras... (tudo isso a partir de 2023 vendo pelo YouTube, eu nunca estive tanto tempo no Paraná que pudesse assistir á essa emissora.)
Na Rede Paranaense, o logo do telejornal era feito pelo próprio GC, em vez de ser um gráfico importado de outro lugar, como costumava ser em outras afiliadas.
Tumblr media
Reparem que NÃO É A VAG ROUNDED (que existe tranquilamente em TrueType e poderia até ser, mas não é). Imagens de 1994.
(Sim, Carmen está com um Micron TX-503, o famoso microfone da Xuxa e do Francisco José, com sua secção quadrada que não tem como adaptar em canoplas... Uploads por Cláudia Vicentin, no YouTube)
Tumblr media
> Alguns segundos do GC em ação no encerramento de um telejornal
Esse GC, ao que tudo indica, baseava os tipos de letra em fontes TrueType. Ao contrário de equipamentos da mesma época (como os de Manchete e Globo), onde as letras eram pixel arts de, sei lá, 5 ou 6 tamanhos diferentes, com os dados gravados em placas de expansão - inclua-se o GC das aberturas das novelas globais - mas esse outro equipamento fazia letras de qualquer tamanho, inclusive intermediários que até então não existiam (como visto nas primeiras edições do Aqui Agora, onde as manchetes eram menores do que seriam depois). Qualquer tamanho e qualquer aspecto também (condensado, expandido, etc.), como vimos no Programa Livre. Fora rotacionar e até espelhar as letras, algo de necessidade zero em 90% da programação de TV convencional.
Outra prova é que eu, ávido colecionador dessas coisas, já encontrei todos os tipos de letra usados pelo SBT nesse equipamento em fontes TrueType que só podem ser as próprias, sendo totalmente idênticas - (Helvetica bold e normal, Univers Bold, Futura, Cooper Bold, Prestige, Latin 721 e Windsor - esta última muito rara, mas tá lá. E todos pelo mesmo fabricante, a Bitstream.
(Curiosidade, a Helvetica ‘roman’ nunca foi usada pelo SBT, mas foi abusada por outras empresas, como a Polishop.)
Tumblr media
O que eu acho curioso é a, digamos “personalidade” na escolha de alguns desses typefaces. Cooper sempre foi usado a versão black antes desse GC aparecer. Prestige nunca foi unanimidade para quem teve máquinas de escrever elétricas, o pessoal usava mais a Courier. (A Prestige teve seu estrelato total no Canal 21, quando este ainda tinha infraestrutura e jornalismo próprio.)
Também existem da Bitstream outras fontes que eu vi em outros programas (inclusive horários políticos) e “acho” que é o mesmo GC só que numa segunda geração, como Handel Gothic, Brody e Futura Bold Condensed.
E onde estará essa fonte de terminações arredondadas? Porquê mesmo em sites profissionais nós não a encontramos?...
Essa pode ser a fonte digital mais exclusiva do mundo - talvez só perca para a Folha Serif, de Lucas De Groot, desenhada para a Folha de São Paulo, usada há mais de 20 anos e jamais vista em nenhum outro lugar.

Internet, uma droga
Tumblr media
A internet age como uma droga, uma droga acessível e lícita, pois ao mesmo tempo que ajuda, atrapalha, ao mesmo tempo que contém boas informações, te prende como um cachorro raivoso na coleira.
A era da internet tem acabado com o ser humano, desde o novo ao velho, não conversam nem interagem uns com os outros, mas são cheios de “amigos” quando pegam o celular. É um mundo irreal, que não se habita nele com o copo, mas com a mente. A droga da internet como costumo chamar é usada pelo ser humano com algumas finalidades, como para ter dopamina “de graça” e sem esforço algum, diversão, uma espécie de escape do que é real, mas por quê?
Por que estamos cansados, fatigados das obrigações diárias, assim como há pessoas que recorrem a vícios ilícitos, a quem recorra a internet como meio de escape, sabemos que dentro da internet a meios que trazem o prazer que a dopamina nos dá, mas é um prazer momentâneo que ao sair das telas tudo acaba e vem o desânimo, a dor de cabeça, dor nos olhos, uma sensação de estar “bêbado”.
Engraçado como quando dizem “vício em internet” ou “vicio em celular”, não acreditam que isso exista, falam que isso é balela, que não existe se viciar em celular ou internet, mas pense, qual foi a última vez que ficou fora de casa sem seu celular e não se preocupou com ele ou por estar sem ele? Quando foi a última vez que ficou sem verificar suas redes sociais, suas notificações porque “alguém pode ter mandado mensagem”, mesmo você sabendo que não tem nada e o celular nem vibrou!
Essa sensação de sentir o celular vibrar mesmo não tendo vibrado se chama Síndrome da vibração fantasma, a primeira vez foi descrita, foi em um artigo publicado no jornal norteamericano New Pittsburgh Courier, em 2003. Desde então, cientistas de vários lugares do mundo investigaram a condição e, mais recentemente, pesquisadores das universidades de Indiana e Purdue (EUA) descobriram que estudantes universitários estão mais propensos a sentir os efeitos da síndrome. De 290 pessoas ouvidas, 258 disseram sentir isso pelo menos uma vez em 15 dias.
Uma psicóloga diz que não é uma doença, é uma sensação, "É uma sensação apenas, não é uma doença. Você tem a impressão de que o aparelho est�� tocando, porque isso fazer parte do seu cotidiano, está mais ligado a um hábito", diz a psicóloga Anna Lucia King, professora da UFRJ (Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) e uma das fundadoras do Instituto Delete, que trata pessoas com dependência tecnológica.
Então, o vício em telas e principalmente na internet é de corrente do cansaço, mas não deveríamos descansar quando estamos fatigados? Sim! Mas para muitos ficar no celular é um meio de descanso, porém se torna um meio de descanso para o corpo, mas pra mente se torna um peso, o peso de ver vidas perfeitas, a quantidade exagerada de informações, a comparação, tudo isso pesa a mente. Faça a experiência de sair das telas e ir para o ar livre, de tomar seu café, almoçar ou jantar sem mexer em celular ou assistir algo e simplesmente saborear a comida, ande na rua sem o celular no bolso, além de apreciar melhor a vista sem o celular na mão, não haverá o perigo de ser assaltado (brincadeira).Na natureza onde tudo é silencioso, você silencia sua mente e seu corpo ao mesmo tempo, faça a experiência de descansar sem olhar para uma tela e veja o que mudará em você.

Igor, você curte a tipografia de máquinas de escrever? Tenho aqui em casa uma Hermes Baby dos anos 60 com uma fonte que acho muito interessante (Hermes Techno Pica, 10cpi) e uma Olivetti Studio 44 com fonte Paica 10cpi (padrão Olivetti). Adoraria se alguém criasse uma versão digital delas!
Curto sim, na verdade um dos meus projetos de fontes era um typeface muito comum nos anos 80 que não existe em digital. Descrever em texto é difícil, e eu tenho UMA imagem em baixa resolução, mas a diferença mais gritante para as demais fontes de máquina de escrever é um "g" minúsculo com apenas uma volta e uma linha horizontal em cima, um design que beira o ousado por não ter nada parecido em outros typerfaces. Mais raras ainda são os typefaces sans serif, parece que 5% vieram pro Brasil, incrível!... Ô, Getúlio, coméquié, meu filho??? Pesquisando, a Hermes é aquela fonte quadrada e arredondada que foi usada muito tempo em legendagem de filmes, e minha avó teve uma dessas. E meu tio tem, mas nunca soube aonde, uma mega rara, uma máquina manual com a fonte possivelmente chamada Bulletin em itálico!! (Aquela fonte onde a base do 2 é um til, em vez de uma linha reta). E tem isso também. Algumas typefaces como Courier, Prestige, Letter Gothic e Orator foram feitas em formato digital (obrigado, Bitstream), sem ser um escaneamento da máquina. Pra mim, faltam essas outras também...

To Maestra Lucretia Giovanni, childe of Ambrogino Giovanni
Aunt,
I regret to inform you that Don Madaline Giovanni, childe of Maestro Enrico Giovanni, was murdered in an ambush three days ago.
We are certain it was a retaliation by the Chicago Ventrue.  I have included all current financials for you to review and it's clear that none of our businesses have been compromised in the lead up to this moment.  Without the loss of revenue or markets, we can only conclude the retaliation was personal.  
To further support this theory, our cousin Vincenzo Giovanni, Don of Cleveland, has claimed that personal items of Don Madaline have been returned to him by the Ventrue as a peace offering and a request to cease hostilities.  Vincenzo has assumed the office of Padrone of the Central Territory pro tem, as you had not yet formally invested Don Madaline and she had not yet designated a successor.  We await your word on the matter.
Don Madaline’s remains have not been recovered.  Vincenzo is currently in possession of whatever it was the Ventrue offered and is negotiating the peace in Chicago.
Your loyal niece,
Mariana Milliner, childe of Frances Milliner
Mariana set down her pen.  She was sure there was more to include, but the formal report didn’t have room for her accusations or speculation.  That would have to wait until more of the story could be found.  With a frustrated sigh, she folded the letter and sealed it with a dollop of ocean blue wax and pressed her personal seal into it.  Following the old forms were a necessity when dealing with the Anziani.  A phone call would have been quicker but so many of the Elders found such things intrusive and lacking proper respect to family matters. 
It went into a courier’s pouch, along with the business reports proving her theory on the Ventrue attack and handed it to Grant, her ghoul and nephew.  “Find Gina and the two of you take that to the Maestra.  Don’t wait for a reply. She can send her own messenger.”
Normally she could trust Grant to travel on his own, taking with him whatever cousin could be spared for travel, but considering the recent conflict, it would be best if both Proxied cousins stuck together.  A little extra strength or a little extra speed, even in daylight hours, would be the deciding factor in survival.  There was a ceasefire, brought on by the authority of a Camarilla archon, but since that same archon had also been a target of the ambush that killed Madaline, Mariana didn’t have any deep faith the Ventrue would hold to it.  
Grant nodded once and left quietly, leaving her alone with Lady Cassandra.  Once the door closed, the elder Kindred rose from her seat and put a small object on the desk in front of Mariana.  It was a gold ring, badly scorched and twisted.  Mariana picked it up with careful fingers, feeling the soot and the grime come off on her skin.  The engraving on the face was filled in by crumbling soot, making it easy to see the signet of the Don of Chicago. 
 “It was part of the Ventrue peace offering?” Mariana asked, looking up at Lady Cassandra and meeting those ghostly white eyes, the black pupils almost lost in that deadly field.  “I’m surprised Vincenzo gave you back one of Madaline’s rings.  He didn’t seem to want to part with them.”
“I did not ask.” 
Mariana repressed a smile at her cousin’s forbidding tone.  “For the best, I’m sure.”  She rubbed the design with one slow thumb, wanting to ask Cassandra if she had seen a vision of the meeting, whether or not she had seen the outcome.  Certainly that if there had been any hint that danger awaited them, Cassandra would have warned them.  She wouldn’t have let any of them, let alone her own several times great-grandaughter, walk into a trap.
“It is yours now.”
Mariana accepted the Lady’s decision silently.  There was no better candidate than herself at this moment and nothing short of an order from the Lady would make her call Vincenzo or the maestra for reinforcements.  Cassandra had better things to do than to wrestle the many family investments, as her talents lay elsewhere.  It was Ettore’s privilege to work for the Lady.  Maxwell worked for Mariana.  And Nicky…  Well, Nicky was an entirely different ball of wax.  Mariana would work for Nicky as she had his niece if Lady Cassandra decided he should pick up the reins of his former job.  Mariana would do it without question as Nicky had never given her any reason to doubt him, but given that he was very like now bathing in Ventrue blood, cease fire or no, it was perhaps best if someone of cooler head took over the family business. 
“Very well.  Did you see that in your visions, Lady Cassandra?”  Mariana handed the damaged ring back to her kinsman.  Regardless of which cousin took the role, the ring would be replaced with a new one.  Not just for the damage in the fire that killed its previous wearer, but for the death connection.  Any family killed while in an office respect had their ring retired, normally placed in the family shrine with other relics of veneration.  Outsiders would call it nothing more than a bad luck superstition, but for the Giovanni, it was another way to speak with the ghost of the slain.  
“No.”  The necromancer shook her head, eyes tracking things that Mariana couldn’t see.  
“But,” Mariana continued, “It’s the padrone’s privilege to confirm the don of a city.”
“Vincenzo will be in agreement.”  Cassandra spoke with a firmness that suggested their cousin would find himself in peril were she to contradict her choice.
“Did you see that in your visions?” Mariana asked, a little more tartly than she had intended, earning a hard cold stare from the necromancer.  
“Vincenzo will not cross me and I have had enough of his meddling.”

agosto de 2022.
letra courier new, minúsculo, justificado, agora sim. confortável. neste mês iniciei tantas coisas novas, novos hábitos e este é um deles: fazer a retrospectiva do mês baseado em fotos do
instamini e também outros acontecimentos aleatórios. estava com sono e do nada plim. agora são 23:57 de 31 de agosto de 2022 – e eu vou terminar este escrito já em setembro, mas ok. ai ai setembro, daqui 2 minutos começa meu
Tumblr media
mês favorito e sinto borbulhas típicas de virada de ano. mas
o foco não é setembro, e sim agosto.
agosto só não foi mais triste porque aqui não é tão frio, eu
não senti a tristeza nos ossos – ai nina nina, tu me entendes.
eu senti uma tristeza, mas dessas que aguento. diferente,
nova, mas tive repertório que criei neste mês mesmo. (virou
o relógio – it’s september!). volta. o mês passou passando
– assim, geralmente parece que demora. não sei dizer se
demorou, parece que passou rápido, mas ao mesmo tempo 01/08
parece séculos atrás.
começo com 31/07, uma foto de eduardo engraçadinha no café
que fomos com seus amigos. foi um dia que me senti deslocada
e não vista. faziam 3 dias se não me engano que havia
confessado minha paixão. a verdade é que depois disso, só
desandou. mas gostei da minha coragem de comunicar, ainda
que com farpas na garganta e ainda que tu com tuas não
verdades disfarçadas de não me entendo. ainda não sei se era
disfarce, mas escrevi sobre árvores malditas que tem espinhos
e disfarçam e depois prendem passarinhos. pula para 6/08 –
com registros de alealequin todo pirilimpimpim narizinho
fofo rosado. comecei a ler ética do amor livre numa tentativa
de me entender e entender meu ciúme e pensamentos
angustiantes, mas não me prendeu. comprei minha bike e sai
passear solita, me sentindo rara e feliz ao mesmo tempo.
pedal de 16 km sentido itapocu com direito a parada para
contemplar uma casa abandonada cheia cheia de laranjeira
perfumada perfumada, pausa para conversar com o jardineiro
de uma mansão antiga histórica e prosear sobre os cuidados
do jardim, pausa para conversar com as mulheres que estavam
correndo “eu também corro”. pausa para seguir o caminho e
conversar com o produtor rizicultor. pai, ele tem 12 ha de
arroz, bastante né?. bebidas de domingo de manhã: café,
chimarrão, vinho e água. eu ciclistinha, tapete de ipê rosa
que floresce mais cedo por aqui. foto com galeano de
conchinha, eu de flamengo, com saudades do pai e saudades
dormir de conchinha. registros no espelho, de calcinha preta.apenas. me olhei com olhos que fazia tempo que não me olhava.
eu sou gostosa e sexy, esta sou eu. me gostei de ver e a
gataiada toda ali nos pé, como de costume. mas isso já era
16 de agosto. registros no meio das tricolores, com sorriso
bonito pensando que gosto bastante do meu trabalho, me sinto
deslocada muitas vezes, mas to aprendendo. tenho satisfação
ao ver a cobertura verde tomando os lotes semeados, e gosto
de ver com tempo e dar tempo à criatividade e ter novas
ideias. isso não sai sob pressão, eu preciso do meu time.
registros de feijão com tegumento azulado, também conhecido
como semente de strelitzia. como que alguém nunca imaginou
isso, meu deus. eu com foto de meia calça preta apenas e
blusa vermelha, o quanto gosto de vermelho meu deus. mandei
para a priscila, fiel escudeira. não tenho mais ninguém para
mandar, ela gostou da paleta de cores. último final de semana
de agosto eu viajei para lages e foi de nutrir todo o tanque. priscila me acordou repentinamente com “migaaaaa, acorda, abre o portão” e eu sonhando que tinha perdido a carona do blablá e não tinha e não tinha. pesadelos até então apenas da vida dos sonhos e não da vida real. andei de moto, fazia meses que não andava, eu adoro. priscila domina demais. me diverti tanto e estribuchei as tripas, saiu tudo de mim. coloquei um piercing. vi guilherme e ele todo pai e todo
pai, gosto dele. desci a serra, conversei tanto com meu cunhado dudis. ah, prometi estudar para o concurso ao ver minhas colegas da pós falando tanto de extensão e de trabalho com mulheres e eu pensei meu deus quero ser assim e morar na
praia e ser extensionista por lá. foi forte. tenho apoio. vi meus pais, cheguei com muito sono e a mãe me liberou para dormir em pleno sábado de tarde. coloquei despertar, não gosto de desperdiçar o tempo lá. chiquinho é o cachorro mais lindo que existe e meu pai ama muito ele. orgulho de minha irmã e seu aumento salarial e suas coragens que eu nunca tive. raiva e desgosto, hoje aprendi, resultam no tal ranço. senti ranço da situação da empresa lá e bléh. sandra está com os botões florais por abrir, assim, sentindo as dores. me despedi dela como quem sabe, possivelmente joao lucas já
estará por ai até 10 de setembro. solange nem sabia que eu ia lá, demonstrando toda a distancia que temos sem nem ser
intencional, também... ela só para limpando. tenho vergonha de dizer que minha irmã de 46 anos está gravida e só falo da sandra. é o que é. sai com a camila para rio do sul, numa
tentativa de fazer as coisas pela primeira vez – fiz muito disso em agosto. gostei do som e eu levemente deslocada naquele grupo de mulheres lesbicas que não fizeram muita questão de me incluir no role, eu agiria melhor. anotar para aprender – sempre acolher gente ajena e auxiliar a se sentir não tão peixe fora da água. não que eu não tenha semelhanças, mas não sei. cheguei em jaraguá e numa tentativa de manter
costumes fiquei no eduardo, mas a distância ali tá insustentável e dei um beijo nele na bochecha logo cedo num sobressalto de amor e a cara de susto e desgosto dele me viraram a chave. não caibo mais ali e nem quero mais caber. no dia 31 eu acordei às 5 da manhã para estudar para o concurso. orgulhosa de meu primeiro passo. li “para não esquecer” da clarice e comecei “tudo é rio”, da carla madeira. não é preciso virar o mês para fazermos coisas pela primeira vez. falaram que eu estava cheirosa. há narizes que cheiram e olhos que enxergam – permanecer somente aonde estes se fazem presentes. fazer as coisas pela primeira vez – sair para conhecer mulheres. geralmente não é mau negocio.
hoje sai com a nadia, foi legal. começamos com café e eu solita lá aguardando lendo o livro da primavesi e vendo como sua linguagem é fácil e como ela diagnostica problemas da agricultura assim, num piscar de olhos. primavesi, que exemplo. me encheu os zóio de água. ela chegou e comemos e bebemos cerveja no bar do sérgio, tradicional daqui. me trouxe pra casa e me deu burburinho para escrever. aqui estou. que mês bonito. sigo andando com minhas pernas. anseio
setembro te amo setembro already september? agradecerei ao mar, finalmente.
