Mi #Libro1 de este 2023 que apenas se asoma… | Leído con tristeza y también con profunda consciencia sobre ese "un@ de nosotr@s" que podría ser cualquiera, con sus odios cuidadosamente entretejidos en ideologías que los sustenten. | Un gran trabajo de periodismo de investigación, con el oficio puesto al servicio de retratos profundamente humanos… para no olvidar.

Åsne, 22

The newest "higher-up" in the Yggdrasil Company's chain of command. The exact rankings of who is, in fact, the All-Father is shrouded in some mystery; an intentional ploy to keep said person relatively safe. Either way, Åsne is the youngest potential All-Father the company has ever had, and her past is shrouded in utter mystery.

Some claim she was brainwashed by the company to be a powerful weapon, others that she is the last/current All-Father's daughter, and some even claim she killed the previous All-Father to get the title herself. The truth remains shrouded behind half-truths and indifference on her part.

Civil, friendly, and always tailed by an entourage of digital warriors, Åsne can often be found at the Digi-Colosseum watching the matches with fascination at the hopeful warriors. She holds a particular fascination with any independents that make a name for themselves.

Nobody knows who her partner Digimon actually is, if she even has just one or any at all.

All that's known of her is that nobody likes to have her gaze on them for long.

[harsh-epilogue]

Inside the halls of Asgard, the maidservants went about their duties, their giggles and hushed whispers filling the hallways as they exchanged knowing glances.

Amidst their chores, the muffled sounds of passion emanated from Heimdall's bedchambers, causing the maids to blush uncontrollably. Their cheeks flushed as they listened to the passionate cries of ecstasy that echoed through the magnificent halls.

'Did you hear that?' whispered Ingvild, a young maid with rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes.

Sølvi, her partner in mischief, stifled a giggle behind her hand. 'Yes! It must be Heimdall again,' she replied, her voice filled with excitement.

The other maids, unable to contain their curiosity, gathered together near the door chamber. Their heads turned towards each other, exchanging mischievous smiles as they listened intently.

'The Spartan man certainly knows how to please Heimdall... I mean, he is tall and strong, a-and... I can only imagine how big he is,' Ingvild whispered, her cheeks tinged with pink.

Giggles erupted among the maids as Åsne, the oldest and most experienced among them, tried to maintain an air of dignity. 'Ladies, focus on your tasks! We have work to do,' she chastised them half-heartedly.

But the allure of the sound of slapping of the skin and Heimdall's passionate moans was too strong for the young maids to resist. They continued to eavesdrop, their curiosity getting the better of them.

Just then, the door to the chambers swung open, revealing a disheveled Heimdall, breathing heavily, with a mischievous smile on his face. The maidservants froze, their eyes wide with surprise.

Heimdall's eyes sparkled as he caught sight of the blushing maids. 'Am I interrupting something?' he asked, his voice trembling but laced with amusement.

The maids exchanged nervous glances, their cheeks reddening even further. Åsne, trying to regain her composure, stepped forward. 'Apologies, Sire. We were just... uh... attending to our duties.'

Heimdall chuckled and shook his head. 'Well, I'm sorry if I disturbed you in your tasks,' Heimdall said with a twinkle in his eyes. 'Please, carry on."

'Enjoy the rest of your night! Let us know if you're in need of a wheelchair and an ice pack in the morning.' Sølvi snickered, with the other maids trying their best to stifle in their laughter.

Heimdall rolled his eyes but gave them a shy smile. She's right, the night is still young and Kratos' stamina is unlimited... He jusg might have to take Sølvi up on her offer, it seems.

Omg you need to write fanfics with the amazing writing and mind you got 🥵🥵🥵 I’m surprised heimdall would be able to walk after what kratos does to him.

Tretopphytter - PAN  2016—2018 PAN - tretopphytter is a private project on Gjesåsen in Åsnes municipality in Hedmark. The cabins are planned around the experience of living among the trees in the Hedmarkskogen, Finnskogen. The cabins are lifted from the forest floor by the use of slender steel structures. Each cottage is made small of about 40 sqm and has a total of six accommodations, bathroom, kitchen and living areas with fireplace. The modest size gives the tent tour the experience of living together in a community, but at the same time as the qualities of the home. The facility has a contemplative character where the Architecture will facilitate sensory experiences of both buildings and nature. The "mystique" of the forest has been the theme of approach to the task and leading to the design of all the various architectural elements. Externally, matte black steel building materials and various metal alloys are used throughout the facility to provide all cabins with a muted contrast to the lush forests. It has been a point to use metals rather than wood to make it clear that a project is an intervention in the forest. inspired by the Finnish Universe Tove Jønsson's forest universe, the project is concerned with the relationship between culture and nature. While there is a contradiction between the cabins and the forest, the project has at the same time emerged from a sense of cohesion between the built space and the landscape. Interior fir and pine forests used as material for floors, walls and furniture. The small rooms bring the materials close to the body. The cabins are designed with a simple geometry, shaped like a steep canopy that gives the small living rooms an extraordinary height of over five meters. Large glass sections at each end provide views and proximity to the forest. The structures are designed to make each cabin stand airy and light among the trees. Here, it has been important to minimize dimensions and study joints in a way that connects the cabins to the ground in a lean and structurally clear manner. The cabins' stairs are constructed as a self-supporting pipe made of perforated metal sheets. These are again clamped into a foundation that causes the over ten meters high stair towers to stabilize themselves without straining the cabins. Link: https://bit.ly/2RfVAF3

"22 de julho" (22 july) - netflix.

Os acontecimentos de 22 de julho de 2011 na Noruega foram terríveis. Um atentado terrorista matou muitos jovens em um acampamento, além de outros na capital Oslo. O diretor Paul Greengrass é a escolha mais óbvia pra tentar recontar essa história. Lançado em 2018, só fomos assistir essa semana. 

depois de ver: ótimo filme, tenso e seco. tanto que nas partes mais emotivas o filme perde um pouco a força, mas sem dúvida vale assistir. as falas do terrorista falam muito sobre nosso tempo, especialmente aqui no Brasil, é triste.

- End of the Year Reading Tag -

Thanks to @bulletnotestudies for making this! I know this is was made for being tagged and tagging others, but I wasn’t tagged and will not tag anyone, I just like to answer questions. If you enjoy answering questions as much as I do, please consider yourself tagged.

Did you reach your reading goal for the year (if you had one)?

Yes! My goal was to read 10 books (which it has been for the last years), and I have read 26 by no (29th December). I always set a low goal I know that I will be able to reach, so that I don't feel any pressure about reading, but only the fun in it.

What are your top 3 books you read this year?

1. The Secret History by Donna Tartt

2. Det er ikke synd på meg men jeg syns det by Maren Granrud (Norwegian book, unfortunatley no English translation by now)

3. Two Sisters by Åsne Seierstad

What's a book that you didn't expect to enjoy quite so much going in?

I started reading the Norwegian translation of Nineteen Eighty-Four by Orwell some years ago but never finished it. Last summer I bought the English edition in hope that I would enjoy that one a bit more, which I did not. I did finish it though. I also bought Animal Farm, and feard it would be as hard to read as Ninteen Eighty-Four, but it felt nothing like it! I really enjoyed it.

Were there any books that didn't live up to your expectations?

This is all on me for not doing proper research, but I somehow thought that The Mitford Murders by Jessica Fellowes would be a great murder mystery, and I have never been so disappointed by a book for as long as I can remember. Awful.

Did you reread any old faves? If so, which one was your favourite?

I always listen to my favourite parts of Harry Potter when I play the Sims, if that counts.

Did you dnf any books?

No. I am usually pretty good at knowing what I will enjoy, and I also enjoy a lot of different genres, which makes it easy to find something I will enjoy. If I read something I don't like I usually finish them anyway, or put them on hold for a year or two and try again (like with Nineteen Eighty-Four).

Did you read any books outside your usual preferred genre(s)?

Not really, like I mentioned above I find most genres interesting, and like to vary my readings based on my mood etc.

What was your predominant format this year?

Physical books, pocket edition is my preferred format and what I use 98% of the time (if you don't count books for my studies (which I don't), most of them have been digital copies this year).

What's the longest book you read this year?

The Secret History by Donna Tarrt (559 pages according to Goodreads).

What are your top 3 anticipated 2022 releases?

I don't really pay attention to new releases, so I have no idea. Please give me a tip if you know about something that you thing I might enjoy!

What books from your tbr did you not get to this year, but are excited to read in 2022?

I am currently reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tarrt, and my plan was to finish it this year, but that didn't happen, so that's one. I also planned on reading Crime and Punishment by Fjodor Dostojevskij, but hope I will manage in 2022.

(I apologise for any spelling mistakes or other mistakes, English is not my first language and this was written past bedtime)
