Ra spends his first day at work as the new Fire Chief of Mesa Grande by dealing with a rouge herd of llamas that somehow got loose in the local restaurant!

Paul Cézanne

El niño del chaleco rojo (Le Garçon au gilet rouge)- 1890 Oil on canvas, 79.5 x 64 cm Post-impresionismo.

 El artista pintó cuatro retratos al óleo de Michelangelo Di Rosa, el chico italiano del chaleco rojo que observamos en esta obra.

Esta pintura representa al muchacho en clave melancólica, sentado con el codo sobre una mesa y con su cabeza apoyada en la mano.

Sobre la mesa, aparece una carta por escribir, quizá el chico esté pensando en que redactar en un papel en blanco, por su condición y su pose, podemos imaginar de que se tratarán sus versos.

El carácter de esta pintura, los colores, las largas extremidades, las grandes orejas del chico y el aura nostálgica que aparece en esta pintura, la hacen que sea para mi, una auténtica obra maestra del post-impresionismo y una de mis favoritas del género.

Printemps 1923, Hylewood, Canada (2/7)

Les filles sont plus grandes, j’ai donc un peu de temps pour moi cette année. Nous avons entrepris des travaux dans la maison, arraché les tapisseries poussiéreuses et abimées, changé les rideaux et les tapis, aménagé une chambre au deuxième étage qui soit vraiment digne de Lulu. Je m’inquiète de ces dépenses. Jules ne semble pas se rendre compte de notre situation économique de plus en plus tendue, et il continue de vivre au-dessus de nos moyens. Je dois lui faire confiance, il a toujours su ce qu’il faisait.

Cela fait plusieurs années que nous n’avons plus de cheval à la maison et que nous avons transformé l’ancienne écurie en garage. Entre nous, vu la taille de l’île sur laquelle nous vivons, avoir une automobile est superflu… Ces changements ont eu le mérite de libérer de la place dans notre ancienne grange, où on stockait le fourrage tantôt, et les filles ont y élu domicile en y établissant un club dans le secret duquel elles emportent leur goûter. Layla a neuf ans, Lola en a six, elles sont inséparables.

[Transcription] Dolorès Le Bris : Capitaine, c’est une catastrophe ! Layla Bahar : Que se passe-t-il, moussaillon ? Dolorès Le Bris : Si on ne trouve pas de vivres bientôt, nous n’aurons pas assez pour survivre à la traversée. Dolorès Le Bris : Nous allons mourir de faim et de soif ! Layla Bahar : Arrêtons-nous sur cette île, nous trouverons peut-être de la nourriture. Mais que vois-je ? Un trésor brille au fond de cette crique ! Il a dû être laissé là par quelque pirate ! Layla Bahar : Grâce à tout cet argent, nous sommes riches et pouvons nous acheter un immense manoir. Je serais la rouge, et tu serais le vert. Dolorès Le Bris : Mais je ne veux pas le vert, c’est un garçon. En plus, ta robe est verte. C’est toi qui devrait l’avoir. Maria Mayordomo : ¡Niñas, a la mesa! (Les filles, à table !) Layla Bahar : Viens, on rejouera après manger. Dolorès Le Bris : D’accord, mais cette fois-ci, ce sera moi la capitaine.

thinking about these thangs...

[imperial-kat]

Unas horas mas tarde, sombras de la noche se extendían sobre Lyon, y en la Presqu'île, las luces comenzaban a salpicar las calles, transformando el gris del día en un negro de misterio.

Louis Dupont, que había viajado a Lyon por negocios, buscó refugio y distracción en las calles laterales. Un letrero de neón, un tanto descolorido pero aún sugerente, anunciaba Le Boudoir Rouge. Del interior, el murmullo de voces y una música atrevida se derramaban hacia la calle.

Louis se abrió paso a través de las pesadas cortinas de terciopelo que daban acceso al local. El aire denso y perfumado lo envolvió: una mezcla embriagadora de coñac, tabaco, y la dulzura barata de los polvos de arroz. El lugar era un torbellino de actividad. Mesas redondas y pequeñas, apretadas entre sí, estaban ocupadas por hombres que reían a carcajadas, bebían con abandono y observaban con avidez el pequeño escenario iluminado al fondo.

Pidió una copa de coñac, sus ojos fijos en la figura que dominaba el centro de la escena. Una bailarina, ataviada con un traje rojo de una escandalosa sensualidad, ejecutaba movimientos provocativos. Su cabello de rizos oscuros, caía sobre su cuello desnudo, y sus ojos, maquillados con audacia, brillaban con una astucia innegable.

La música llegó a un crescendo, y la bailarina giró, lanzando una última patada al aire que sacudió sus enaguas. Los aplausos y silbidos estallaron en la sala. El maestro de ceremonias, un hombre bajito con un bigote retorcido, carraspeó y anunció con voz engolada: "¡Y ahora, por favor, denle la bienvenida con un aplauso atronador a nuestra flor más exótica, la incomparable... Mademoiselle Jane Austen!"

Louis casi se ahoga con el coñac. Jane Austen. La sorpresa lo golpeó como un rayo. ¿Jane Austen? No podía ser una simple coincidencia. La última vez que había escuchado ese nombre con tanta reverencia fue de labios de una mujer que vivía para los libros y las historias. Mafalda.

Cuando la bailarina, ahora conocida como Jane Austen, bajó del escenario, Louis la interceptó. Su mirada se encontró con la de ella, y un destello de reconocimiento cruzó los ojos oscuros de la mujer.

"Mademoiselle Austen, ¿o debería decir Lisette?", preguntó Louis, su voz apenas un susurro por encima del bullicio, cargada de una ironía que no pasó desapercibida.

Lisette se detuvo, una sonrisa lenta y cínica dibujándose en sus labios pintados. "Vaya, vaya. Si no es el capitán Dupont. Pensé que el matrimonio te habría domesticado, mon cher". Sus ojos, fríos y astutos, lo examinaron de arriba abajo. "¿Qué te trae por mis dominios? ¿Te has cansado ya de la vida respetable o vienes a asegurarte de que tus viejos secretos sigan bien guardados?"

Louis ignoró el segundo comentario. Su mente seguía en el nombre. "Jane Austen", repitió, inclinándose un poco para que solo ella pudiera escucharlo. "¿De dónde has sacado ese nombre? ¿Es una broma?"

Lisette soltó una risa ahogada y amarga. "Una clienta de Madam Duboi, una muchachita soñadora con los ojos llenos de curiosidad, mencionó a una tal Jane Austen. Pensé que sonaba más interesante que 'Lisette' para el escenario. ¿Acaso tu tambièn conoces a la dichosa Jane Austen?"

Louis sintió un nudo en el estómago. "Una muchachita soñadora... con los ojos llenos de curiosidad", repitió, la descripción golpeándole como una bofetada. Solo podía ser una. Los ojos de Mafalda, chispeantes, siempre presentes en su memoria.

Mafalda no solo había esparcido rumores sobre él y se casaba con otro hombre, de alguna manera, su influencia llegaba incluso a los cabarets de Lyon.

¿Que pasaría si borráramos la historia de les fotógrafes mujeres y disidencias?

Perderíamos un mundo amplio, donde se puede mirar tanto los grandes temas como también mirar hacia adentro, del hogar, de los afectos, de une misme, de la performance que es vivir en sociedad y perderíamos, además, la parte de la fotografía más lúdica, expresiva y que no tiene miedo a no tomarse tan en serio a si misma.

Ayer el equipo de photobook club madrid llevó a cabo una visita a la exposición “what they saw: historical photobooks by woman 1843-1999" en la cual se recorrió la muestra y luego tuvimos la oportunidad de ver varios títulos.

La muestra gira en torno a una publicación realizada por 10x10 photobook que re��ne 250 libros seleccionados y que en la biblioteca se exponen 60 de ellos. Según la web de la biblioteca “Esta muestra busca incluir autorías que han sido marginadas en la historia del fotolibro, así como aquello a lo que miraron y que, a menudo, también ha sido borrado o silenciado: las mujeres, las comunidades queer, las personas racializadas y artistas que no son de Estados Unidos ni de países europeos.”

Hay que tener en cuenta que es una exposición de corte clásico/archivístico donde vamos a ver una selección de libros desde 1843 a 1999 y que las cosas han cambiado bastante desde esa época a la actualidad desde lo social, político en materia de derechos y visibilidad de comunidades lgbtq+, rol de la mujer en la vida y también aspectos técnicos en torno a equipo y temáticas tratadas. Muchos de los libros que se pudieron consultar eran de fotografías en byn, sobre todo de retrato. Libros como el de Hiromix (que de los expuestos en la expo me parecía el más “actual” y con una estética más desenfadada) no se encontraba disponible para consultarlo sino que era parte de la mesa con vitrinas.

Es muy raro ir a exposiciones de libros donde no se pueden ver por dentro, que, por cuestiones de conservación, se encuentran dentro de una vitrina. Me genera un sentimiento de extrema confusión ya que, si me genera interés, QUIERO VERLO! QUIERO SABER MÁS! Hay algunas exposiciones que ponen como alternativa el visionado mediante una pantalla, que no es lo mismo pero al menos nos puede quitar la curiosidad 😌

También es importante decir que los libros expuestos son parte de la colección de la biblioteca y que están accesibles a todes y que este material es un gran documento histórico y está bueno que podamos tener acceso de forma gratuita.

Pueden visitar la muestra hasta el 7 de junio de 2024 en la Biblioteca del Museo Reina Sofía.

En las imágenes comparto algunos fragmentos de libros que me gustaron y/o llamaron la atención.

Music: Best of 2023

This year I've been particularly active about trying to find new artists and then exploring their catalogs, and according to Spotify I've hit Like on over 1,000 songs (and purchased over 650, because frankly fuck Spotify). So, around the beginning of December, I thought it would be fun to try and pull together a Best of 2023 playlist, and three weeks later here we are!

These are not by any measures songs that were released in 2023, just songs that I, personally, happened to hear for the first time this year (well, including December 22, so that the playlist spans a full 12 months).

I also gave myself the restriction that I could only use one song by any single artist, which was easily the hardest part of making the list (although I would absolutely have run into different, equally hard choices otherwise). And then, because this is a fundamentally self-indulgent exercise, I dumped a bunch of second tracks by my favorite new artists, and a few other difficult last-minute cuts, into a "B-Side" playlist that's still half the length of the main one.

Anyway, here they are -- hopefully you'll discover something new, too!

(I'll make a second post later with the full playlist text including links to Bandcamp pages where applicable.)

Diary entry 40. Okay, let's try this thing I had in mind yesterday. English, Italian, Spanish, French and Korean sentences. P.S. I'm too lazy to add Russian (actually I haven't practiced it since way too long).

1. The weather is nice and there're no clouds in the sky. Il tempo è bello e non ci sono nuvole nel cielo. El tiempo es bueno y no hay nubes en el cielo. La météo est jolie et il n'y a pas des nuages dans le ciel. 날씨가 좋아요 그리고 하늘에 구름은 없어요.

2. In the field there are yellow and red flowers. Nel prato ci sono fiori gialli e rossi. En el campo hay flores amarillas y rojas. Dans le champ il y a des flores jaunes et rouges. 잔디에는 꽃들이 노란과 빨간색 있어요.

3. My grandma's cat is under the table. Il gatto di mia nonna è sotto al tavolo. El gato de mi abuela està debajo de la mesa. Le chat de ma grand-mère est sous la table. 우리 할머니의 고양이는 테이블 아래에 있어요.

4. Next weekend I want to go to the sea. Voglio andare al mare il prossimo weekend/fine settimana. Quiero ir al mar el próximo fin de semana. Je veux aller à la mer la prochaine fin de semaine. 다음주말 바다에 가고 싶어요.

5. A (cup of) coffee, please. Un caffé, per favore. Un café, por favor. Un café, s'il vous plaît. 커피는 한 장 주세요.

6. Later I will sleep more because I am tired. Dopo dormirò (un po') di più perché sono stanco/a. Después dormiré màs porqué estoy cansado/a. Plus tard je vais à dormir un peu plus parce-que je suis fatigué/e. 저는 피곤해서 나중에 더 잘 거예요.

Too funny I didn't realized at first I had written half of the sentences in English and the other half in Italian (I mean the basic sentence)... yeah I'm fine. :)

Hi so if your requests are open can I request a oneshot from death note nsfw were it’s after Light’s father’s death and the reader usually doesn’t like Light but starts to feel sorry for him and later that day decides to visit his apartment to help him deal with his grief and ask if there is anything she can do for him and he very subtly implies that she can help him by giving herself to him and although the reader is tempted to doesn’t want to because it’s wrong and he has a girlfriend but eventually agrees to it?

Masterlist

Your fingers trembled holding the dish just along the tips. It was a basic casserole, something your mother suggested you’d always make for the grieving.

“It’s common here in the US to bring a dish for the mourning.” You set the dish on the counter watching Light continue to stare out the window. The least he could do is acknowledge your presence.

“Is there anything I can do?” You politely ask him, though your last nerve was being worked on quickly.

The shrug that rolls off his shoulders was enough for you to lose your patience. His old ways have returned and honestly you’re over it.

“Alright. Good talk. Hope you feel better soon, Light. Sorry for your loss...”

You turn to the door, your hand balancing on the handle when the lock notification chimes.

“Stay.” He finally speaks up, you looking over your shoulder to reveal the brunet closing the distance between you two.

He’s close enough you can smell his cologne, feel the cold of his skin. If anything it was too close for comfort.

His sharp tone made chills rise up your neck and a jump in your stance as he speaks once more.

“Why so nervous?” The ice in his voice makes you shiver once more. “Oh.. I see. You think I’m Kira.” He smirks rolling his eyes. “You’ve known me for so long. Don’t you believe I won’t hurt you by now?”

You swallow hard and he takes a step forward, his fingers hardly touching you. Piercing cold fingers glide across your skin as his hot breath caresses your neck.

“I’m feeling a tad bit overwhelmed. I’m sad really. Will you stay?” His arms close the barrier between your bodies as his chest presses firmly against your back.

He doesn’t wait for your response as his fingers slide up and now along your skin.

“L-Light I-” you choke on your words, letting his touch speak for you.

“Please, I don’t want to be alone.” His hot breath leaves you with a shiver.

Cold hands massage your shoulders with a longing touch, when finally his lips meet your skin.

A sensation like ice burning your flesh. Cold lips piercing the soft outer coat as the burn of his teeth overstimulate your nerves.

“Light... I- isn’t this bad timing?” Your tone wasn’t as reassuring as his touch, when he pushes you back against the couch, lowering your body with his lips finally move to your own.

“You talk too much.” He silences you, his hand sliding under your shirt before you can react. “All I need for you to do is be my pretty distraction. That’s it.” He palms your bra leaving you with a gasp of pure surprise. “Take your shirt off.”

Light’s demands are strict, his face far from playful. “I’m serious. Take it off. I know you don’t like me. But I know you want to fuck me.”

“Fuck you?” You scoff, rolling your eyes in any direction but him. “I don’t even want to be in the same room as you.”

The displeased look on your face makes him laugh, his fingers circling around your erect nipples.

“Yeah, keep holding back your pathetic moans. You love my touch. You want me to fuck your pathetic cunt until you’re trembling.” His smirk is mocking as you close your eyes.

“Look at me.” He pinches your nipple forcing a gasp from you. “Mmhm. That feels good doesn’t it. You’re so touched starved.”

You hold back a moan and it shows across your cheeks, they exposing you with the brightest tone of rouge.

A mocking chuckle taunts you from the towering brunet.

“See. You’re pathetic. Just take your shirt off.” He leans back, watching your fists remained balled at your side.

“Stop fighting it. Look at you.” He grips your wrists, making your arms rise above your head. One of his hands grasp both yours when he lightly runs a finger along your clothed shorts.

“I can feel you. You’re sobbing. You’re literally drenched.” Light dips his fingers into your shorts from the leg, parting your panties until he meets your slick coating. “I love it when I’m right.”

His large fingers burrow into your sticky swollen walls; an untamed moan leaving your lips faster than you could control it.

“Fuck... turn over. Let me see that ass.”

He wasn’t asking, but telling, as his hands grasp your hips and pulls your bottoms off in whole, letting them dangle at your knees.

“Mmm Fuck. It’s perfect.” Light’s hand smacks the side, allowing your skin to bruise by contact. “Mmm. You’ve been hiding this the entire time from me?” He smacks your cheek again.

“You know, that makes me really annoyed, Y/n.” He draws circles into your skin as your heart rate accelerates. “It makes me feel really bad. You know my dad just died right? Yeah. So I’m already upset, and with this on top of it... I feel like need to relieve some tension.”

He shifts behind you, however you’re left blinded facing the wall behind the couch.

“Yes. I’m overwhelmed.”

Pressure and a warm sensation is left from him tracing your core. You bite your lower lip, not wanting him to know how many times you have thought of hate fucking him in one of the back rooms of your office.

The way his cock slides along your folds, your moan hitches in your throat and it’s your instinct to let him know how badly you want it.

But you won’t.

“You’re so stubborn...” he groans getting his cock drop from your core.

“Don’t you have a girlfriend?”

Light reaches for his cock, pushing into your folds enough to tease a moan from your pursed lips.

“Mmm. I’d rather think about you. How tight your pussy is... how badly I was to know what your insides feel like.” He slides in deeper, his breath triggering the nerves along your neck, your head jolting up in reaction. “Mmm you’re such a bad girl.”

Light rolls his hips into yours when finally he bottoms inside you, a long loud moan releases from your lips.

“Fuck... You’re so tight.” He gasps with his breath caught. “God damn.” Pulling your hair into a bundle in his palm, he begins thrusting into your swollen cunt.

“God...” you gasp and he tugs at your hair straightening you out.

“Yeah? Don’t act surprised... you’ve been thinking about my cock for a while... haven’t you?” He pulls himself out of your body, soaked from your juices before returning to stuff you whole. “I’m just a grieving soul here.” His hands pull you closer into his body, grasping your neck with a firm grip.

“I’m just a little sad. A little depressed, shall I say?” His hot breath dresses your neck whilst he begins his cycle of pumps with pure lust into your cunt.

“You don’t...” raspy moans leave your lips. “Even like me.”

The smacks of his hips into your sobbing cunt leaves your breath caught.

“Shut up. I don’t have to like you to fuck you like a whore.” A sharp whisper against your ear has your heart pounding against your chest.

Light’s fingers tuck into your lips, pressing against tongue as the hand lowers to your clit.

“Mm fuck.” The whimper below his fingers him pulling out, flipping you to face him.

“Get down here.”

On your knees, he cups the back of your neck sliding his cock past your lips.

“That’s right. You fucking whore. Make me feel better the only way you know how.”

Light thrusts into your mouth as your hands balance on each hip. “Look at me... that’s right... fucking your boss’s son. Jeez do you have some pride.”

The gulps of his cock filling your mouth and the look in your eyes has his peak filling. Beads of precum weld on his cock on he pulls away from your lips.

“Mm... I should cover you in my cum.” He smirks rolling his hand over his head. “Mm how slutty you look, such a perfect distraction.”

He jerks his cock over your head and sees your frown.

“What? Did you think you were going to cum? No.” His cock grows red. “You’re only here because I told you to be. The only reason I’m allowing you to be anywhere near me is because I need to get off. You need to make me cum.”

The speed of his hand glazing his cock with your spit grows and his knees begin to buckle. “Yes... my little slut. Yeah I should keep you around. Have you here to be my little cum dump. For whenever I want to get off, have this slut here to suck me off.” He’s panting pulling you on your knees.

“What about your girlfriend?”

“Mesa? She’s useless. Has no idea what she’s doing. Talks too much. But you... fuck come here.” He grabs your neck, guiding it onto his cock for him to fuck your mouth.

“Yes. Good girl.”

The motion of his hand along his cock doesn’t last long as he uses you to finish his needs.

“Good little slut. That’s right.” He releases himself into your mouth. “Take my cum. Show me your worth.” His hot seed spews down your throat as attempts to keep his composure. “Mmm. Fuck. Yeah you’re gonna stay right here and suck me off everyday. Pretty little slut can handle two jobs, right?”

His thumb handles the dribble of loose cum escaping your lips, guiding it onto your tongue.

Nodding, you suck his thumb while keeping those innocent doe eyes watching him.

“Good girl. I’m sure you’ll be trained just fine.”

He slips his thumb from your mouth and returns to his cock, tucking it back into his pants.

“Now get cleaned up, I have guests arriving soon.”
