Carlos Almarza es uno de los últimos volantineros vivos en el país

Carlos Almarza es representante de un oficio que surgió en Chile en el periodo colonial y que sigue vigente gracias a su dedicación por 71 años a la manufactura artesanal tradicional de volantines calados de papel. Desde septiembre, una muestra con más de 150 diseños estará abierta al público gracias a la gestión de la Corporación Cultural de Lo Barnechea. La primera vez que los volantines…

Volantín Cortao - D.Ayala y A.Jofré

[glitchcat808]

Since it's already september, and i'm chilean, and i like Sebastian (and he is canonically chilean-american) i have came to cook

SPOILERS FROM SEBASTIAN'S BACKSTORY/PRESSURE

Okay so i imagine when he wasn't getting experimented on he used to live with his mother back on Chile, when he was a kid. I feel like he was playing with volantines a lot when September 18th came, and he used to eat mote con huesillo and terremoto too.

His favorite chilean food was pastel de choclo, he remembers the salty and sweet flavour of his mother's dish, warm and cozy in his hands.

He absolutly hates dancing cueca, because he didn't enjoy learning the moves (while also spending embarrasing moments in front of his mother when he messed up, she still has those videos of him dancing)

When he was a teen, he played some music to his younger brother, mostly Los Prisioneros and Los Bunkers.

I also hc that his sister tried to teach him how to use the trompo, but he missed the skill as he was trapped in Urbanshade

He loved to play bolitas with his brother, he always won the playful matches he had with him (he kept the ones that looked like milk and those giant ones too, because they were "valuable")

His mother use to make him go buy bread for the once when she was busy, and he liked to see the outside, but he had trouble dealing with the change (same here bud...)

One time when he was at a park, someone tried to rob him. He luckly got away safely, and he didn't want to go back again for months (i put this here because getting robbed on Chile it's like a typical Monday sometimes)

The cat he has is a black and white cat, and the name of the little fella is Manchitas (yes, the motivation is losing)

The only thing he enjoys about September 18th is the food, the games and the music, it is typical to see him playing with an emboque and eating an anticucho.

His favorite chilean candy is Guagüitas and Loop, he remembers his mother gifting him some when they go shopping

I also hc he lived on Chile until he was 14, until he got to the USA because of a family problem with his aunt

He had some loser ass friends when he was a senior, and he first smoke when he was on a party. It got to the point of him getting lighthearted and almost drowning in a pool

OKAY SO THAT'S IT, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE TELL ME OR SOMETHING IM FEELING THE HOLIDAYS AAAAAAAA VIVA CHILE CARAJOOOO

The Raven, 129 AC. With @theredripper

𖤓┊⟩» It's been a while since their last raid, Dalton saw how his men slowly soften and became a bunch of drunken sailors. Fortunately for them, soon they would have the opportunity to attack again. He knew one of them missed the assaults more than anyone, his own son Toron.

That's why today he summoned him to the Raven. Dalton's flagship was far away from any eavesdroppers. Perfect for planning without distractions. He waited on the port until Toron's figure appeared, Dalton couldn't resist the urge to hug him. So he did.

Dalton guided him to his cabin with a smile on his face. He waited until they were inside the room, surrounded by candles and maps, to speak. Nightfall was resting on the side of the table.

—There will be a ship coming out of Pentos in two months, bound for the old city of Volantis. A trading galley named the Black Crane. Inside the ship there is a Valyrian tome which details the rites of a ceremony long lost after the Doom. The Celtigars wish to acquire this book and offer to pay greatly. —Dalton open one of his many maps and extended it over the table. It detailed to the narrow sea and it already depicted the routes the Black Crane could use. Dalton traced the lines with his fingers. —The Black Crane will be guarded by two Volantine dromonds. The Volantine captains will not expect an ambush. They lack discipline. And you will be the cause of their demise.

Hey what do we think about the story name 'Volantine'? It comes from the word 'volant', which means to be capable of flight/migrating birds/having wings, which all make sense for the context.

I wanted to have a name relating to birds since there's a decent amount of bird symbolism in this story? 'Volantine' also doesn't seem to have any other copyright issues and is only ever mentioned on Google as a last name, so it seemed like a good choice. Idk. I'm getting attached but also want input soooo

[shiesie]

I have not watched the show, so I’m genuinely asking - how the hell did the GoT writers explain away why Talisa - the noble, wealthy, girl from a powerful family in Volantis - never had her family coming after her killers?

Like, the Volantine are a tempestuous, vicious sort of people at the best of times, and you expect me to believe that one of the accomplished, beauties of their city who had just married the King in the North and was pregnant with his child didn’t have her entire city howling at the gates of King’s Landing for the heads of the Freys?

I know they had their hands full with Dany later on, but it still makes no sense!!!

Talisa’s family logically would’ve wanted vengeance

[racefortheironthrone]

Regarding Volantis, we know that the city "controls the Rhoyne as far as the tributary river Selhoru, and holds sway over the Orange Shore, west of the city". So we have clear marks for its northern and western borders, but what do you think mark its eastern border?

Since Volantine ships patrol the Selhoru, I would guess their eastern border is, at the furthest, at the most-upstream navigable point on the river.

Out of Time AU.

The battle against the God’s Eye ended with Caraxes and Daemon falling on free fall soon after Aemond and Vhagar found their fate in the waters below them. The Blood Wyrm had lost a wing and he fell hard over the water, yet his body managed to cushion the fall for Daemon managing to keep him safe. He still fell into the water, yet the water pulled him out to the shore eventually, reappearing that same night elsewhere in the coast.

Who found him has been Nettles - the dragonseed who has not stayed away from the battle, despite being sent away to her safety. The girl took Daemon with Sheepstealer away from Westeros. They spent some weeks in Braavos, where Daemon recovered from the battle, until he was ready to fly again. From there, they descended to Volantis, where they spent a couple of months, searching for a way of living. Yet the idea was always to keep travelling.

From Volantins they flew to Qarth, where they stayed for the rest of the year, doing whatever was necessary to survive. And then finally they reached their original destination by the beginnings of the next year - the Shadow Lands. Daemon and Nettles stayed in Asshai where they made their home.

Asshai being quite big in dragonlore kept the Prince interested in it, but something else caught his attention. Magic. Asshai was well known already for being a city where magic was not forbidden and all kind of magic could be practiced. He started to study it and practice it - coming to find sacrifices along the way. Daemon become an aeromancer (a person who can control the element of air) among other things. He eventually meet and befriended Melisandre, who by the time was not yet wearing her necklace.

Learning about the White Walkers, Daemon found another interest and continued to pursue the knowledge in magic, ending with a sapphire ring in his left hand that works exactly like the necklace of Melisandre, it keeps him young and alive. Eventually he lost Nettles - could be due to her leaving him for all the excess of magic use, or because she was one of his sacrifices, rumors are not clear on the matter. But eventually Daemon stayed alone in Asshai, until the three dragons eggs of Dreamfyre - that he has found - were delivered to Pentos. He traveled alongside the eggs, keeping a close watch on them despite them being apparently turned to stone.

Moving in the shadows, he spied on Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen from the moment he heard about them, he followed them in their journey keeping himself hidden from view. However, he appeared to Daenerys at least two times, in which he looked like a dangerous man covered in a cloak and a red mask. He did not introduced himself to her until much later.

In his time in Asshai, Daemon wore the clothing of the Shadow Lands, preferring to wear the red lacquered wooden mask, to cover up his identity, though he did covered his hair as well, he never wore the tattoos of the Shadow Men.

A Javiera

No temas la penumbra deforme tras el telón

Caminando se llega a Roma

Los bosquejos romances atiborrados alegres

Cada vez más pequeños a la distancia clavados

Son una soga al cuello de botella doloroso

Que puja y comprime el horizonte

No temas perdonarte embriagada de coraje

Cuando la culpa engulla la más breve sonrisa

Callos y ladrillos construirán tu hogar

A cada paso retrocede el abismo y su amenaza

Se torna erial de volantines de arena

Vacío horroroso cuenco de sueños bajo llave

No temas la inmensidad tenue de las lágrimas

Cuando el grito empuñe la laringe de la ópera

Y ya nada tenga sentido y la certeza más radical

Se inunde de novedad y silencio ensordecedor

Como el oleaje de mil calmas solapadas

Como el azul de mil albores ingratos

Como el olvido de mil ternuras en la mejilla

De mil verdades únicas

No temas el temor de continuar

Aún cuando el viento te desgarre la piel

Y caigan los pedazos de felicidad a un lado

Y el coro de torbellinos los alce al cielo

Para no ser vistos nunca más

La tierra se abrirá en un abrazo

Para estrechar al nuevo amor

Cuando sea el tiempo de Javiera
