YIPPE Okay so this is about Uncontained (I’m gonna shorten Uncontained Anomalies Canon to just Uncontained for simplicity sake)

I’m currently drafting an SCP article for Grace and Argent, they’re twins, psychics, and have what I suppose are x-men type regeneration abilities. (I know nothing about x-men) Argent was kidnapped and taken by the SCP Foundation when they were really young, any evidence of him even existing was just wiped from the face of the earth. Grace and everyone who knew Argent are given amnestic pills so they completely forget him, he’s also given these pills so he forgets life before being put in the Foundation

Argent is kept in containment til he’s around 20, when Nelson, O5-6, a member of the o5 council which controls the foundation, offers him a job as a foundation field agent/member of the mobile task force (foundations brute force that they use for defense, offense, and bringing SCPs to containment). He accepts and with Nelson’s training and a lot of string pulling in the bg, he climbs the ranks and joins Mobile Task Forces Alpha-1, which works directly underneath the O5 council, basically like their personal bodyguards. Argent is set to be the next O5-6 if Nelson were to ever retire, go missing, or be terminated for any reason.

Meanwhile Grace lives a relatively normal life up until her late teens when she starts having psychic visions, blurry visions of what happened to her brother and possibly where he is in present. She runs away from home and eventually finds her way into the Manna Charitable Foundation, an anomalous humanitarian aid group, through meeting Sonia. She’s still honing her abilities while traveling the world helping others and looking for her brother.

Pose by Ukoku2012

Walking back in, Gojyo was greeted with a sight that would have made a classical painter weep and scramble for their supplies: Hakkai half stretched out on his front, arms draped across the pillow with his head nestled between them. The lines of his back practically begged the eye to follow them down to where his ass was slipping out from the covers that were tangled around his legs. "Oh, we are not getting out of bed today," Gojyo growled, almost sprinting across the room.

Then Hakkai opened his one visible eye and Gojyo staggered from the disorienting wave of deja vu.

Flash in the Pan by theskywasblue

Gojyo hates washing dishes

Accidental Innocence by Crescentium

Hakkai and Gojyo have lived together for quite some time without actually living together, as it were. It does not mean they have not thought about it. There are accidents, and then there are accidents, and Gojyo might say "Bullshit."

Lauds by Nakimochiku

Hakkai's god is of the body, so he worships him with his body.

Wherever I Find Myself by louise_lux

"This place is a dump," Gojyo said, looking around.

He wasn't wrong. The unmistakable smell of mould curled through the rooms. The floorboards creaked and groaned under every step. The kitchen had been ransacked. Every pot and pan and plate—some of them still containing dried crusts of what had once presumably been food—had been pulled from the tables and cupboards and onto the floor. Clothes were flung about the bedroom; they lay collapsed on the rotting rugs like dead bodies, all covered in dust.

The owner, Mr Chan, stood next to Hakkai. He had a sooty black mole on his bald head. It wasn't a youkai mark. "The last people left in a hurry. I couldn't find any one to rent during the—bad time." He darted his gaze away from Hakkai and fixed it on the mess on the floor.

"It'll take a lot of cleaning," Hakkai said. "I like it."

Proving It by aeternum_vale

As the journey draws near the end, Hakkai and Gojyo finally feel they are different people willing to say what they need to.

A much-needed haircut gives Gojyo an opportunity to discover something about himself... and Hakkai, too. Minor spoilers for Blast Volume 3.

Déjà Vu by AluraGayle

Even with his limiters in place, Hakkai still battles for control. Sometimes, he can slip.

Home from the Sea, Home from the Hill by emungere

Hakkai is weird.

This, Gojyo feels, is something that people tend to forget. Even Sanzo seems to take Hakkai at face value more often than not, and Hakkai's face always shows the same value. Gojyo knows better.

The Lesson by Lady_Ganesh

Gojyo and Hakkai spend some time in the classroom.

Take the Chill Out by theskywasblue

Gojyo still remembers long winters when he shivered relentlessly, wore every piece of clothing he owned, and smoked to stay warm - felt like that was the only thing there was to do - but these days his joints ache in the deep winter; he’d rather be warm than look like a tough guy.

Originally published by Comico and later by Dark Horse, Matt Wagner's Grendel is a creator-owned series that's evolved over the years from costumed adventure to political drama to postapocalyptic action. Most of the stories are now collected in a series of massive Omnibus volumes, which have been reissued in the past couple of years with new covers.

Vol. 1 includes most of the original Hunter Rose saga, about the original Grendel character, a dapper but ruthless and sadistic costumed criminal mastermind battling a werewolf-like antihero called Argent. The Omnibus includes the "Devil by the Deed" storyline originally serialized in Wagner's MAGE series in 1985 (recolored in grayscale and red rather than full color), plus several other sets of stories about Hunter Rose. It's not quite comprehensive: It omits the early, abortive Comico issues Wagner retooled as "Devil by the Deed" (which were reprinted in the 2007 GRENDEL ARCHIVES, and which Wagner considers apocryphal), and crossovers between Hunter Rose and Batman (from 1994) and The Shadow (from 2014). Probably the most peculiar omission is that it excludes the 1989 SILVERBACK miniseries by William Messner-Loebs and John Peck, which presents the origin of Argent; I don't know if Wagner has disowned that series or if the assets needed to reprint it are no longer available.

Vol. 2 covers the first 20 issues of the Comico GRENDEL series, and take place about 40 years after Hunter Rose's death, in a near-future world where Hunter's biographer Christine Spar, daughter of Hunter's adoptive daughter Stacy Palumbo, becomes Grendel. The volume actually begins with a later series called "Devil Child," by Wagner's long-time editor (and sister-in-law) Diana Schutz and Tim Sale (originally published as a miniseries in the late 1990s), which deals with Stacy's fate; it is creatively accomplished but extremely bleak (and needs CWs for sexual assault and spousal abuse). The ongoing series, drawn first by the Pander Bros. in a somewhat dated but generally appealing anime-inspired style, later by Bernie Mireault, is a tragic but engrossing saga of rage and revenge, somewhat more fantastical than the Hunter Rose stories. The Christine Spar story is probably the most compelling and emotionally engaging section of the whole story, although the followup, tracing the subsequent fate of her boyfriend Brian, is again very bleak.

Vol. 3 covers the remainder of the Comico series, which ended with issue #40 due to Comico's bankruptcy. This moves the timeline forward hundreds of years, first with a set of experimental (if somewhat annoying) transitional issues, and then with an engrossing but rather frosty saga of political machinations and civil war, as an ambitious businessman called Orion Assante leads an insurrection against the power of a future Catholic Church and a plague of vampirism, with the dubious aid of a mentally unstable man named Eppie Thatcher, who assumes the Grendel role and may or may not be demonically possessed. The transitional issues at the beginning are rough going stylistically, but the main story is interesting and elaborately plotted science fiction, marred chiefly by the deliberate emotional distancing of the main character (CWs apply for incest, along with a lot of sometimes icky violence), whose death decades later brings the arc to a close.

Vol. 4 includes the GRENDEL: WAR CHILD miniseries, originally intended as issues #41–50 of the Comico series, which introduce the cyborg warrior Grendel Prime and deal with the fallout following Orion Assante's death. This is a fairly conventional episodic adventure, probably at least partly inspired by LONE WOLF & CUB, with the Terminator-like Prime traveling through the apocalyptic wastes with Orion's son and heir Jupiter. It's most interesting in how it addresses the various ramifications of the previous storyline, although the almost dismissive way Wagner dispenses with that story's survivors is off-putting. This is followed by PAST PRIME, by Wagner and Greg Rucka, which is a rather too purple illustrated prose novel about a later adventure of Grendel Prime and Susan Veraghen, one of the characters from WAR CHILD. This is followed by DEVIL'S QUEST, originally serialized elsewhere, which is actually the prelude to the second Batman-Grendel crossover in 1996; Wagner apparently hasn't yet negotiated the rights to reprint those crossovers again (they were last collected in 2008), which is puzzling if you haven't read that story, although QUEST has some of the best and most experimental artwork of Wagner's career.

Vols. 5 and 6, not pictured, reprint the GRENDEL TALES series, which were Wagner's attempt to open up his concept to other writer/artist teams, most published as miniseries by Dark Horse between 1992 and 1998. Unfortunately, all are set in the world of Grendel Prime, full of cliched postapocalyptic horrors and boring warrior-clan bullshit with none of the political scheming and character conflicts that made the Orion saga interesting; there's some nice art, but the endless parade of threadbare concepts, throwaway characters, and nearly inevitable grim denouements becomes wearing quickly. Of the more than 800 pages of material, the only installments worth a look are FOUR DEVILS, ONE HELL (more for its stylish Teddy Kristiansen art than its typically pompous James Robinson script) and HOMECOMING (by Pat McEowon and Dave Cooper), a downbeat story in which Susan Veraghen goes on a bloody, leather-clad rampage to avenge the death of her former girlfriend.

I very much hope Wagner will work something out with DC to reissue the Batman/Grendel crossovers of the '90s. The first, with Batman and Hunter Rose, is by far the best, with an elaborately constructed secondary plot enlivening the shaggy dog story of the main confrontation and extremely intricate artwork; the second, with a time-travel Grendel Prime, is not as artistically adventuresome and is basically a TERMINATOR story with Batman, although it's worth a look to see what the DEVIL'S QUEST story was all about.

Wagner's Grendel/Shadow crossover is a fun romp, and works better than Wagner's misfired THE SHADOW: YEAR ONE, which made me miss the Howard Chaykin/Andy Helfer/Kyle Baker version.

Star Ac' et pipes à crack.

Je ne vais pas mourir aujourd’hui. Je le sais car j’ai demandé au pendule que Clotilde m’a offert samedi dernier. Par contre le con il a pas sû me donner la date de mon rendez-vous avec la Fin. Vraiment ça sert à rien ce machin. En revanche ce que je sais c’est qu’hier soir j’ai senti sous mes doigts une petite bille dans mon sein gauche, ou c’est le droit. Gauche par rapport à qui. Ça y est je m’embrouille. Bref, un truc qui n’a rien à faire là où je l’ai trouvé. Parce que les billes normalement on joue avec dans la cour quand on a 8 ans, on est pas censés les ranger dans ses nichons quand on en a 35. Enfin en 1972 je veux dire, les billes, parce qu’aujourd’hui j’imagine plutôt les pré-ados jouer aux mikados avec des pipes �� crack. Fissa j’ai pris rendez-vous avec Docteur Quin. A une lettre près je consultais une star de sitcom c’est dommage. La mienne a 67 chats, mesure 1m90 au bas mot et fume des clopes dans son cabinet entre deux patients. Je l’aime beaucoup. En attendant le verdict et comme je suis une personne mesurée ce matin je me suis mis en tête de choisir la musique de mes funérailles. On prévoit jamais de mourir à 35 ans mais en même temps mon pote Guillaume il avait pas prévu de mourir à 17 et ses parents lui ont passé l’hymne de la Star Ac’ à l’église. Damn. Mon père adore Zaz. Soyons pragmatiques. Organisons-nous. Que vous dire d’autre avant la fin… J’aime pas les orchidées. Les compo d’interflora me filent de l’urticaire. Je veux être incinérée dans un cercueil low-cost. Gaspillez plutôt votre argent dans une bouteille d’Hennessy XO que vous boirez au goulot à ma santé. Je souhaite que mes cendres soient jetées dans l’océan, celui des Landes de préférence. Mais pas sur la plage de mon camping naturiste favori. Bien qu’imaginer tous mes proches à poil lors de mon dernier envol me fait quand même marrer. M’enfin bonjour les souvenirs pour plus tard lorsqu'ils se feront griller la saucisse au soleil en plein mois d’août, obligés de penser à leur pote morte qui leur flingue un peu le paradis (pas celui d’en haut avec les vierges tout ça, celui d’en bas où les gens sont tous nus sous les pins). Si la casse-bonbon du crématorium, la fille avec les cheveux derrière les oreilles et le tailleur prune de chez Cache-cache vous dit “non mais c’est interdit maintenant les urnes doivent rejoindre une concession gniagnia mesures sanitaires gniagnia un protocole gniagnia”, flanquez lui votre genoux entre les jambes et partez en courant (sans oublier l’urne ce serait idiot). Je serais pas contre une dernière course poursuite en Fiat Punto. L’idée d’être enfermée dans un vase, ça m'angoisse. Au pire renversez-le sans faire exprès “oups pardon quelle maladroite”. Je préfère finir dans un caniveau que dans un tiroir. Et pour terminer si vous pouvez glisser une invitation à Josh Hartnett n’hésitez surtout pas.

PS : Les meufs, on le dira jamais assez, palpez-vous les miches, pétrissez vos tétés, examinez vos loches. Il n’y aura probablement rien mais un jour vous pourrez tomber sur une petite nouvelle, qui elle-même ne sera probablement rien. Dans le doute. Les crabes se cachent parfois derrière les billes.

"È sempre magnifico sentirsi vicini ad un piccolo popolo che soffre. In questo modo l'ingerenza «umanitaria» permette al forte di inserirsi nella politica dei deboli, con il migliore degli alibi morali possibili. Gli Stati Uniti hanno lanciato delle operazioni militari contro piccoli Stati dell'America Latina con il pretesto che davano appoggio a dei narcotrafficanti. Una di queste, contro Panama nel 1989, di rara brutalità, provocò almeno duemila morti e fu bellamente chiamata «Giusta Causa». Cosa di più bello, in effetti, che combattere per lo straziante problema della droga, se i nostri nemici possono essere rappresentati come chi, in qualche modo, ne è all'origine?¹ Nella guerra della NATO contro la Jugoslavia si trova lo stesso sfasamento tra gli scopi ufficiali e quelli inconfessati del conflitto. Ufficialmente la NATO interviene per preservare il carattere multietnico del Kosovo, per impedire che le minoranze siano maltrattate, per imporre la democrazia e farla finita col dittatore. Si tratta di difendere la causa sacra dei diritti dell'uomo. Alla fine della guerra, non solo ciascuno può constatare che nessuno di questi obiettivi è stato raggiunto, che la società multietnica è ancor più lontana e che le violenze contro le minoranze - Serbi e Rom, questa volta - sono quotidiane, ma anche che gli obiettivi economici e geopolitici della guerra, di cui non si è mai parlato, sono stati - quelli sì - raggiunti. Così, senza che sia stato mai ufficialmente rivendicato, la sfera d'influenza della NATO s'è notevolmente allargata nell'Europa del Sud-Est. L'organizzazione atlantica s'è installata in Albania, Macedonia e Kosovo, regioni che fino ad allora s'erano mostrate recalcitranti a tale spiegamento.

Dal punto di vista economico, inoltre, la Jugoslavia (ove funzionava ancora, per larga parte, un mercato pubblico), «riluttante» all'istituzione di un'economia di mercato pura e semplice², si vide «proporre» a Rambouillet che l'economia del Kosovo funzionasse «secondo i principi del libero mercato e fosse aperta alla libera circolazione dei [...] capitali, compresi quelli di origine internazionale». Innocentemente ci si potrebbe chiedere che rapporto ci può essere tra la difesa delle minoranze oppresse e la libera circolazione dei capitali, ma il primo tipo di discorso nasconde evidentemente fini economici meno confessabili. Così dodici grandi società americane³, tra cui Ford, General Motors e Honeywell, sponsorizzarono il summit del cinquantesimo anniversario della NATO, tenuto a Washington nella primavera del 1999. In modo totalmente disinteressato, pensano alcuni, mentre altri pensano che sia stato un do ut des e che i bombardamenti contro la Jugoslavia per distruggere l'economia socialista abbiano fatto piazza pulita per le multinazionali che, da molto, sognavano di aprire in quei luoghi un grande cantiere e di fare buoni affari. Lo stesso portavoce della NATO, Jamie Shea, peraltro, aveva annunciato che il costo dell'operazione militare contro la Jugoslavia sarebbe stato largamente compensato dai benefici che, a più lungo termine, i mercati avrebbero potuto apportare⁴.”

¹ Se, invece, i trafficanti d'eroina sono politicamente nostri alleati, come fu nel caso di gruppi dell'UCK albanese, si perdona loro facilmente queste mancanze veniali (leggere l'articolo di Erich Inciyan «Le réseaux albanaise de l'héroine, la propagande de Belgrade contre l'UCK et la réalité», Le Monde, 4 e 5 aprile 1999). ² La sua economia era largamente mista ed aperta ai privati da moltissimo tempo. ³ Washington Post, 13 aprile 1999, citato da Michel Collon, Monopoly. L'Otan à la conquéte du monde, EPO, 1999, p. 92 . ⁴ Dichiarazione al tempo dell'emissione «Argent public», France 2, domenica 2 maggio 1999, citato da Serge Halimi, L'Opinion ça se travaille.

Père Noël Secret

Fandom : Spy x Family

Relationship : Damian x Anya

Je me suis inspirée d’un prompt de @youneedsomeprompts sur Tumblr : Père Noël Secret.

J’espère que ça vous plaira.

Résumé : Il y a quelques jours, Becky avait décidé de réunir toute la classe pour tirer au sort les Pères Noël secrets. Damian avait pioché le nom d’Anya. Depuis, la seule chose à laquelle il pensait, c’était ce qu’il pourrait lui offrir.

Damian se dirigea vers le marché de Noël. Il avait passé tout l’après-midi à regarder les boutiques, mais il n’arrivait pas à trouver le cadeau idéal. Il mit sa main dans sa poche et serra le papier qui s’y trouvait. Il soupira. Sur ce papier, le nom d’Anya y était inscrit.

Il y a quelques jours, Becky avait décidé de réunir toute la classe pour tirer au sort les Pères Noël secrets. Il avait pioché le nom d’Anya. Depuis, la seule chose à laquelle il pensait, c’était ce qu’il pourrait lui offrir. Rien ne lui semblait assez bien. Il pourrait lui acheter des cacahuètes ou un goodie de Bondman. Il secoua violemment la tête. C’est n’importe quoi, pensa-t-il. Il ne pouvait pas lui offrir un cadeau aussi insignifiant. Même s’il était sûr que le goodie de Bondman lui ferait plaisir. Il se demanda qui elle avait tiré au sort. Il avait le secret espoir que se soit son nom, même s’il savait que cela était improbable.

Il arriva au marché de Noël et regarda les différents stands. Rien ne semblait convenir. Il voulait lui offrir le cadeau parfait, mais il commençait à croire qu’il n’existait pas. Il se dirigea vers un stand où plusieurs bijoux étaient déposés. Il écarquilla les yeux en voyant un bijou en particulier. Il s’agissait d’une chaîne en argent et d’un pendentif en verre en forme de bille. À l’intérieur du pendentif, un papillon vert y était gravé.

Il venait de trouver le cadeau idéal pour Anya. Il arrivait parfaitement à l’imaginer avec ce pendentif autour du cou. Il montra au vendeur le pendentif qu’il voulait et paya. Il passa le reste de la journée avec un immense sourire aux lèvres. Il était impatient de donner son cadeau à Anya.

******

Une semaine était passée. Il ne restait plus que quelque heures avant que les cours ne se terminent et que commencent les vacances de Noël. Toute la journée, les élèves de la classe avaient échangé leurs cadeaux, découvrant qui était leur Père Noël secret. Damian n’avait pas reçu de cadeau et il n’avait pas encore donné le sien à Anya.

Il était midi et Anya était seule dans la salle de classe, en train de finir un devoir qu’ils devaient rendre. Toute la matinée, Becky était restée avec elle. Puisqu’elle était seule, c’était maintenant où jamais. Il prit une profonde inspiration et avança vers elle. Anya leva les yeux vers lui, surprise. Le cœur de Damian s’accéléra, ses mains étaient moites. Il se demanda pendant une seconde s’il allait réussir à lui donner le cadeau.

« C’est pour toi. C’est moi ton Père Noël secret. »

Il lui tendit le petit paquet cadeau rectangulaire de couleur bleu clair entouré d’un nœud argenté. Il savait qu’il avait été un peu brusque, mais il était tellement nerveux, qu’il ne savait pas comment s’y prendre. Il n’arrivait pas à agir normalement. Anya accepta le paquet cadeau et l’ouvrit. Elle écarquilla les yeux en découvrant ce qu’il y avait à l’intérieur.

« Si ça ne te plaît pas, je peux t’offrir autre chose. Une figurine de Bondman, par exemple. »

Mais quel idiot, pensa-t-il. Il avait envie de se gifler. Pourquoi est-ce qu’il avait dit ça ? Anya sortit le pendentif du paquet et l’observa.

« C’est magnifique ! S’exclama-t-elle. C’est le plus beau bijoux que j’ai vu. »

Damian rougit. Anya attacha le pendentif autour de son cou. Elle avait un immense sourire aux lèvres et il pouvait voir qu’elle aussi rougissait.

« Moi aussi j’ai quelque chose pour toi. »

Elle prit son sac et fouilla à l’intérieur. Elle sortit un paquet cadeau rouge décoré de dessins de flocons de neige.

« C’est moi ton Père Noël secret. »

Elle lui tendit le cadeau, gênée. C’était la première fois que Damian la voyait si peu sûre d’elle. Il prit le paquet et l’ouvrit. Il y découvrit une écharpe bleue marine. Il la regarda d’un peu plus près et vit qu’elle était faite main. Il écarquilla les yeux. Elle avait tricoté elle-même l’écharpe.

« Je n’avais pas les moyens de t’offrir un cadeau comme tu as l’habitude d’en avoir, dit-elle presque comme si elle s’excusait. Alors je me suis dit que te tricoter cette écharpe serait une bonne idée. »

C’est vrai qu’il avait l’habitude de recevoir des cadeaux qui venaient des plus grandes boutiques de luxes. Mais pourtant, l’écharpe qu’il tenait était le plus beau cadeau qu’on lui avait fait. Elle avait passé du temps pour essayer de lui faire plaisir. C’était la première fois que quelqu’un avait ce genre d’attention pour lui. Cela le touchait. Plus qu’il ne l’aurait cru. Il mit l’écharpe autour de son cou.

« Merci, dit-il. »

Anya lui sourit et Damian remonta l’écharpe sur son nez pour cacher ses joues rouges. Anya avait aimé son cadeau et elle était son Père Noël secret. C’était le plus beau Noël qu’il n’ait jamais passé.

im so so so in love w jordan please i have to know everything about her: 1, 3, 8, 15, 17, 28, 30, 33 ? (if that's too many you can just pick from these ajdnngmrjk)

1. what is their secret identity? do they have any nicknames? what is the meaning behind them?

her name is jordan patel! ortega calls her patel. being plainly called jordan has always made her nervous, (more so post heartbreak) it's just a little bit too personal.

3. what is their villain name? why did they choose it?

it's sidestep. if asked she would say instinct kicked in and she said it by accident. it wasn't, she wanted her name back. it's hers.

8. are they more calculating or more sincere in their interactions with others?

jordan has terminal foot in mouth disease. she isn't capable of being intentionally devious, she's too busy saying exactly what she thinks.

15. what is their greatest flaw?

[tears down poster with MASSIVE FEAR OF INTIMACY written on it and sets it on fire.] she's impulsive.

17. what is their ultimate goal?

surpass hollow ground. to be hollow ground is to be untouchable, and to be untouchable is the only way for her to finally be in control.

28. what do they find attractive in others? what’s a turn-off?

jordan is... pretty shallow. she's attracted to good looks. she'll fall for a pretty smile or nice arms. if someone starts flirting, she's flirting back in a heartbeat. as long as they don't push for more.

30. what is their love life like?

hoh boy. well. she doesn't do romance. she's just flirting with argent at every chance, admitting weird and not so platonic feelings to ortega, and falling in love with daniel.

33. how do they feel about herald idolizing them?

conflicted. jordan loves it. she loves it so much, she wants to be exactly what he sees her to be. but she's not. she can't be that sidestep ever again. and then as she gets closer to him she begins to hate it, because he doesn't know what he's talking to.

14, 30 and 34 for Steps of choice? 👀

using a random number generator ill be answering these for arbor, rory, and my new girl nayeli!

14. are they more daring or more cautious?

rory is by FAR the most daring (78) nayeli is in the middle (58) and arbor is the most cautious (45). rory doesnt give a single shit about like, consequences or people hating them and arbor is like. if ortega is mad at me i Will put myself in the timeloop and suffer through my entire life again as to avoid this.

30. what is their love life like?

arbor and ortega's ship tag is "deify your lover". i often say "arbor didnt get religion under they imagined god as ortega". see earlier statement about timeloops. theyre terminally obsessed with him and will make any bad decision to make him happy (telling all the rangers theyre a regene). but they like each other a lot so its all fine :]

rory had a secret crush on ortega and never told him and now wants him to suffer for as long as possible and then die for leaving them to rot. they flirted with argent behind the mask but that was all for show. their thesis of "i want to walk into a room and have suffered the least, and im going to hurt everyone to make this happen" is not conducive to relationships (not even including the fact they feel. nothing. and dont consider themself a person at all)

nayeli... could not avoid a beautiful woman no matter how much she tries. she's pastflirt and dating ortega, dating mortum in the puppet (and confessed everything), and is dating argent (revealed to her as well). it is. terminally messy in there, she just cant avoid throwing herself at the feet of women she loves/wants to be like (transgenderisms)

Toilette de visites, brodée de paillettes.

Cette robe en moire gris argent est brodée de paillettes et ornée de dentelle crème. La jupe est encadrée d'une broderie en paillettes noires; on pose sur le corsage entouré d'une haute ceinture drapée, un col brodé de paillettes.

So... what about Isaac?

Isaac Lahey - One of my top 5 favorites in Teen Wolf. When he first appeared in season 2 and with the traumatic past he suffered under his diabolical father, I felt the utmost sympathy and empathy for him. Losing his mother, and then his older brother Camden, to have an abusive and narcissistic father beat and lock him up in a box down in the basement against his will just made me want to be there for him and help him.

Isaac definitely intrigues me alot because despite being turned into a werewolf and going from Derek’s first beta to becoming Scott’s beta and one of his closest friends demonstrates how he builds his relationships. It's when Scott in season 2 states that he doesn't want him to get hurt is when Isaac's mind and soul started to heal and open up. Even more so when he helped Scott with a terminally ill dog by healing the canine with his healing factor, and Isaac began opening up more and more. How he combines his werewolf status mixed with his sarcastic and salty attitude (funny moments by the way) with his sensitive and heartwarming compassion that he wants to be friends with Scott (maybe even love him), he wants to be friends with Stiles (despite their sarcastic witty battles), he wants to be friends with Allison (and love her despite the tragedy that calls forth her fate) and the rest of the pack is because he wanted to help and care for others because he lost that experience while growing up, and he wants to gain that but also give it to others because he is a person.

Isaac is often cynical and cautious to newer people but once you've been within his circle many times he opens up because now you are apart of his life. I have watched him grow from being a hurt and abused child to a renegade, cynical and strong beta under Derek to being a witty, sarcastic but compassionate and good natured person within seasons 2, 3A and 3B.

If he had stood in for seasons 4 and 5 he could have been a valued friend and mentor for Liam alongside Scott. Isaac, being Scott’s longest beta not bitten by him would have helped Liam grow while being like a older sibling to him and still lived between his foster mother Melissa and traveling between the McCall residence and Argent residence to navigate between feeling loved and cared for while being a strong werewolf and person. Season 5 would have definitely been a strong point for Isaac since he may have looked at Theo's manipulations from the start (no offense to Theo lol) unless the death of Allison was used against him and he would have met Malia, Mason, Brett, Lori, Satomi, and the others who would have fostered more relations with.

Yes Isaac is an amazing person that I admire

Bon j’arrive pas à mettre les photos correctement TANT PIS 🤬.

J’ai lu un bon livre, ça y est, c’est celui-ci, avec ce drôle de titre, écrit par Monika Fagerholm, une finlandaise qui écrit en suédois.

C’est un livre étonnant, qui est très original dans sa composition, un peu circulaire, un peu répétitive. Il est question d’étés successifs en Finlande, sur une côte, où se retrouvent plusieurs familles (aux niveaux sociaux différents d’ailleurs) ; l’une vient d’Amérique et voudrait que sa vie ressemble à celle d’une star américaine ; elle lui emprunte tous ses attributs, attitude, centre d’intérêt, et surtout argent (son mari est riche et séducteur). Voilà pourquoi la narratrice parle de la vie rêvée de la plage, de l’été, sans cesse, jusqu’à ce que ça devienne une rengaine, un tic de langage dépourvu de sens. Elle s’y lie d’amitié avec Isabella, tout aussi attirée par le luxe, le désir d’enchanter chaque instant, passionnée d’elle même et pourtant terriblement désœuvrée, presque le reflet d’une personne, comme celui qu’elle aime regarder dans son miroir. Isabella a un mari et un fils, le passionnant Thomas.

On les suit dans leur amitié croissante, dans la répétition des mêmes rituels. Au début on peut être un peu surpris, voire ennuyé. Mais au fond, la narration cyclique a un effet très concret, celui de donner l’impression d’être avec elles, au milieu de ces journées infinies, que l’on finit par confondre, de sentir cet ennui à la fois mortifère et confortable, le temps se perd même un peu, ajoutant à la confusion, on a des flashs backs et des analepses, peu importe, il n’y a pas vraiment d’avant et d’après mais des fantasmes et au milieu, un jeune garçon, Thomas, qui grandit… il passe de huit à quatorze ans, et après beaucoup de stagnation dans son existence, les choses s’accélèrent tandis que les années soixante se terminent. Le monde change. Les femmes ont sans doute moins envie d’être les potiches, peut-être envie de se prendre en main et de considérer les autres choses que celles qui constituaient leur horizon. Y aurait-il autre chose en dehors de ce cercle familial et amical, au-delà de cette baie et de cet archipel ? On rêve de voyage, on joue à s’en aller, mais c’est dur de passer à l’acte, on risque le vertige, voire la chute.

L’histoire est racontée à la hauteur des yeux d’enfant de Thomas, à qui il n’échappe pas grand chose, même s’il ne comprend pas tout. Il découvre les silences des adultes, devine leurs mensonges, la cruauté et la bonté, la forêt, les fonds marins, joue à être scientifique, architecte, puis archiviste d’une famille en décomposition.

J’ai trouvé que l’enfance et son extra lucidité était incroyablement bien rendue. Ce ne sont pas les femmes que j’ai trouvées merveilleuses, mais cet enfant, sa solitude et sa sensibilité, sa faculté d’absorption et d’adaptation, ses réflexes de survie. Un héros inhabituel, discret et profondément touchant.

2023年08月26日 Un Monopoly pour les enfants

Hier soir, nous avons joué en famille au Monopoly. Cela parait anodin, mais je pense que c'est la première fois que j'ai joué au véritable Monopoly...

En effet, quand j'étais petit je jouais chez mes grand-parents à une version simplifiée du jeu qui s'appelait le Monopoly Junior. Des années après avoir joué à celui-ci, je vous propose d'observer les différences entre les deux ! Il semble il y avoir plusieurs versions du Monopoly Junior, celle sur laquelle je jouais se passait dans une fête foraine.

Avant de commencer, voyons voir si vous avez lu les posts précédents !

Le sondage reste ouvert pendant une semaine, on verra ce qui se passe quand il sera fini !

La première chose que l'on remarque, c'est le changement d'esthétique. Les pions ne sont plus des objets en miniature, mais des voitures en plastique chacune d'une couleur différente, ce qui est plus facile à identifier (même si on pourrait confondre la couleur des pions avec la couleur des cases). Les billets sont aussi plus colorés, tandis que le plateau possède beaucoup plus d'illustrations, notamment en utilisant la mascotte du jeu. Il est assez rectangulaire comparé à la plupart des Monopoly et se plie en deux. Enfin, comme le jeu se déroule dans une fête foraine, les rues sont devenues des attractions ! La case garage est devenue une case café et la prison a bien évidemment disparu pour laisser place à une case fortune qui permet de ramasser les billets placés sur celle-ci par les joueurs ayant payés pour voir un feu d'artifice ou un ballet de dauphins.

L'objectif du jeu est toujours le même (le capitalisme s'apprend aussi aux enfants...) cependant la valeur des billets a été revue à la baisse afin que les enfants fassent des additions plus simples: au lieu des billets de 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 et 500 Mono, ici les billets vont de 1 à 5 et sont en euros afin de faire le lien avec l'argent dans la vraie vie pour la partie apprentissage (et puis ça fait argent de poche). Après tout, le Monopoly a été créé à l'origine par Elizabeth Magie pour représenter la nature antisociale du monopole sur le sol, il y a donc toujours quelque chose à apprendre...

De nombreux ajustements sont faits pour raccourcir les parties: on note désormais que toutes les couleurs ne possèdent que deux terrains contrairement aux trois terrains (sauf pour les cases bleues foncées et violettes) du jeu original. Cependant, il est impossible de faire payer plus cher en mettant plusieurs stands sur une même attraction ! Ainsi, le seul avantage à avoir deux attractions de la même couleur est de faire payer le double si un joueur passe sur une des deux cases. Il y a bien évidemment moins de cases que sur le plateau original, cependant le jeu n'utilise qu'un seul dé au lieu de deux. Le plateau prendrait donc plus de temps à parcourir que l'original, sauf si nous prenons en compte le changement fait aux gares !

En effet, celles-ci agissent normalement comme les terrains de couleur à la différence que les cases sont éparpillées aux quatre coins du plateau et que leur somme pour plusieurs gares cumulées n'est pas énorme. Mais dans ce Monopoly Junior, on n'achète pas la gare, on prend le train ! Ce qui signifie qu'on ne fait que relancer le dé.

Les cartes chances sont toujours de la partie, et certaines permettent carrément d'obtenir des stands gratuitement. Pour finir, il ne faut pas attendre qu'il n'y ait qu'un seul joueur avec de l'argent mais plutôt qu'un des joueurs n'ait plus d'argent pour terminer la partie. Les mécaniques d'enchères et d'échange à l'origine de stratégie et de parties de durée infinie ont tout simplement été supprimées, créant un jeu plus rapide mais également davantage soumis à l'aléatoire.

Après avoir joué (et gagné) hier soir au Monopoly, la simplification du jeu sur cette version junior devient plus qu'apparente !
