[lives4lovesworld]

jon's "ice and fire" parentage argument for him to be TPtwp needs to die already:

George R. R. Martin to Adria's News: I mean… Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is… you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.

No house, no human, no fucking living sentient creature is "ice". It is literally the antithesis of it. They are all encapsulated under "fire" because it represent life. House Stark with its hot temperament "the wolf blood", the ones to "endure" winter, to be the North's Warden IS a flame, an ember, a part of that fire that burns against the Ice. More so than any other andal house, less so than any valyrian one.

You would have more a leg to stand on was your argument that Jon has been touched by ice as he has died but will be brought back but I guess that doesn’t make Jon ✨️special✨️ enough for numerous characters have been brought back; Beric, Catelyn, Drogo, Patchface, etc...

The Jon-is-asoiaf clowns are also the same ones to turn the goody snowflakes/grrm gift to the world/the most oppressive uwu puppies the Starks into Ice, the literal evil of this world, and the same ones who proclaim fire is as bad as ice, two extremes the world must be delivered of when talking about Daenerys but suddenly being the product of these extremes is the solution if its Jon. The brain gymnastics are on Simone Biles's level of wild. 🤡

Hi Andrea, welcome and thanks for being here! Even though you are only 12 years old, you came to prominence for already being in the Mercedes youth program. For those who don't know you well, introduce yourself to the public!

Hi, thank you. My name is Andrea Kimi Antonelli, I am 11 years old, I am from Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna) and I attend sixth grade.

A few months ago Toto Wolff, manager of Mercedes Motorsport, admitted that they had included you in their youth development program. How did Mercedes meet you and how was your first meeting? What did you feel in those moments?

Giovanni Minardi spoke about me to Toto Wolf at the Monza F1 2017 race, G. Lagrue who follows the youth program at Mercedes came to see me at the Adria race last November, we introduced ourselves but I practically didn't open my mouth, I was struggling, I couldn't believe that he had come to see me. I haven't met Toto yet, I hope to soon.

Your dad, Marco, is a driver. How important is it to have parents who support you like him and already live in the racing world?

It's a great advantage because he gives me useful advice, and if he scolds me I try to improve myself, even if I don't take it well at first.

In the motoring world, who are your legends and who'd you like to challenge one day?

Hamilton, Schumacher, and Senna but in truth, I am a fan of the old F1, as a child I always watched a program called F1 retro and I know many episodes from that time. One day I would like to challenge Verstappen because he is really tough besides my karting opponents of course.

What are your goals, what do you want to do when you grow up?

I want to be a professional driver and race as fast as the wind.

La F1 che verrà, Andrea Antonelli: "Un giorno voglio sfidare Verstappen!"

like real people do — ch. 5

part five: my hand was the one you reached for

part one, part two, part three, part four, part five, part six, part seven, part eight

pairing: aemond targaryen x tyrell!oc

summary: peace in the red keep never lasts long, and adria's fate has changed

notes: my sincerest apologies for taking so long on this y'all i am so tired. but i really do luv this and i hope y'all do too! tw: death (mention)

it was the hour of the wolf, and the small council was assembled, hastily dressed and rubbing sleep out of their eyes.

“the king is dead,” alicent stated simply, face pale and lips thin.

unbeknownst to her, otto hightower already had a plan for when this day came, and was ready to set it in motion.

when it was decided that aegon would indeed be king, the topic of allies and enemies was first at hand. besides princess rhaenyra and the velaryons, the tyrells, lannisters, baratheons, and starks were the hand’s largest concern.

the lannisters would remain loyal, as tyland lannister still sat at the small council. borros baratheon would be easily won to their side, and hope as he may, otto doubted the starks would join their cause.

that left the tyrells, whom they conveniently had one of under their roof.

“adria tyrell will not marry jacaerys,” otto decided, looking at his daughter, “we need the tyrells’ gold. she is the key to the reach.”

“that in and of itself is an insult,” alicent countered, “rhaenyra will not take lightly to aegon’s crowning, to break this betrothal would make matters worse. if adria marries jacaerys, then we will have the key to dragonstone.”

“and if it turns to war?” who will the tyrells back then?”

alicent thought long and hard, “we offer her as part of our terms. accept, and they will be wed. if she denies, then we hold her, and the reach.”

otto had to admire his daughter – she played the game of thrones and she played it well.

the first thing adria saw as she woke, shaken roughly from a dream, was the queen standing over her, deep brown curls spilling over her shoulders. for a moment, she was sure she was still asleep, but the feeling of the bed sinking as alicent sat down was very much real.

“my queen?” adria asked timidly, sitting up, “what is it?”

“who are you loyal to?” she posed the question, clasping her hands on her lap.

adria shook her head, blinking, “i don’t understand, i —”

“who are you loyal to?” alicent asked again, raising her eyebrows, staring adria down. her gaze wasn’t demanding, wasn’t threatening. just questioning — concerned, almost.

“house tyrell, my queen. and you, as my guardian. and helaena.” adria prayed that she had given the correct answer.

the queen let out a breath and dropped her chin.

she looked… tired.

adria’s eyebrows knit together, “your grace, the hour is early. pray, tell me what is this matter about?”

“the king is dead.”

oh.

a deep quiet seemed to fall over the room for a moment.

“i see,” adria murmured.

alicent took one of adria’s hands in hers, “his last wish was that aegon be king.”

she furrowed her eyebrows. why had queen alicent come to deliver this news herself. and the king had spent aegon’s twenty years staunchly supporting rhaenyra’s claim – why change his mind now?

“i am telling you this because you are a smart girl,” alicent clasped adria’s hands in hers, and held her stare,  “conflict is a possibility, and if it comes to blows, we must have your family’s support.”

all at once, adria grasped the reality of her situation. the danger.

“am i not to be wed to jacaerys?”

the queen hesitated.

“we’re sending princess rhaenyra terms. if she accepts, then you will. if not – you shall stay here,” she noted the fear that flashed across adria’s eyes, and squeezed her hands gently,  “as my ward, i swear no harm will come to you.”

adria sat in silence for a long moment, staring at the sheets.

“i understand, my queen,” she whispered, meeting alicent’s eyes once again.

“come now,” the queen smiled sadly, “you must get dressed. this day will be a long one.”

the sun was up by the time adria forced herself to finally leave her chambers. there was one person she wished to see.

she found helaena in her rooms and wrapped the girl in their arms. she didn’t seem particularly upset, but her mood was somber. many underestimated her, called her a fool. but helaena was observant and clever. she knew exactly what was happening.

“you are to be queen, i hear,” adria whispered, offering helaena a small smile.

she only sighed and sat, “i fear aegon will not be a good king.”

adria joined her on the loveseat, “he will have your mother and grandfather to guide him. i’m sure in time he will succeed.”

helaena raised an eyebrow, and adria knew neither of them believed it.

“it will be okay,” adria squeezed the princess’ hand.

helaena squeezed back, “as long as you are my my side, i know it will.”

a knock sounded at the door.

helaena called to enter, and adria’s heart sank when aemond stepped in, a scowl gracing his features.

“i have been sent by my mother to escort you to the coronation,” he ground out, “lady adria.”

she blinked in surprise, “she wants me?”

“evidently,” aemond huffed, “come. i’ve been all over this damned keep looking for you, we must now make haste.”

her mind was whirring, but adria truly could not make sense of why the queen had sent prince aemond of all people to escort her to the coronation. she had assumed she would be left behind at the red keep, or watch from the crowd.

the targaryens evidently had other plans for her.

adria flashed a small, slightly panicked look at helaena, and followed aemond from the room. gods help her. she was truly entering the dragon’s lair now.

aemond led her through the red keep to a small study, cloaked in darkness.

“what are we—” she started, but he was pushing open a bookcase to reveal a dim passage, lit only by the flickering candle he now held.

his lips quirked up in cruel amusement, “we’re going to the dragonpit.”

adria said a silent prayer as she followed him in.

the passage was narrow enough for only one person at a time, so she followed behind aemond, praying he didn’t decide to sprint ahead and leave her in the darkness.

after a few moments of her mind spinning, her curiosity got the better of her.

“aemond,” she said quietly, and he glanced over his shoulder at her, “do you know why your father so suddenly named aegon heir?”

“no,” he muttered bitterly, “the man was half dead already, he had no good sense left in him. perhaps that’s why.”

adria was surprised by the confession. aemond had always held his tongue regarding his father, had always been careful never to reveal too much of his feelings.

“i can feel your shock, little rose,” he mused, “make no mistake — my brother is the rightful king — my half-sister merely clings to what shred of a claim she has left. but aegon has spent his life whoring and drinking, thinking that’s all that is required of him.”

the tunnel suddenly widened, and afforded adria enough room to move to his side.

he looked down at her, a hard look on his face, “he hasn’t studied the histories and sciences as i have — he can scarcely wield that sword he carries. i doubt he even knows who his hand is.”

adria snorted, then slapped a hand over her mouth.

aemond looked amused, casting her a curious glance, “pray tell what you find so funny.”

adria’s cheeks burned, “i only doubt otto hightower would ever let your brother forget who he is.”

he shook his head dissaprovingly, but a smile ghosted aemond’s lips.

a few moments of silence passed before he spoke again, stiff and stark, never even glancing at adria.

“you know you’ll never marry that boy now.”

adria’s heart ached for a moment, and she hated him for being right.

 “no, i don’t think so. i doubt i’ll ever leave king’s landing again.”

“you’re not a prisoner here,” he stopped short, staring at adria so intensely she had to look away, “and i am not a monster. say the word and i will fly you back to highgarden myself.”

her gaze softened as she looked back up. holding that piercing gaze for a moment, her throat bobbed and she whispered, “thank you.”

his features seemed to relax, but he offered only a curt nod before continuing.

 the dragonpit was packed with what seemed to be the entire population of king’s landing as adria and aemond joined his family on the makeshift stage. alicent offered her a weak smile and a nod, while helaena gripped adria’s hand as she joined her side.

the crowd grew quiet as the city watch began to file out, cutting a path to the stage. aegon then appeared, an almost confused scowl across his lips. it seemed as if everyone in the room grasped the magnitude of what was happening all at once, aegon himself included.

it seemed like only moments before ser criston placed the conqueror’s crown atop aegon’s head, and he was declared king.

gods help them all.

the applause began hesitantly but grew into a raucous thunder. aegon took it in stride, raising his sword triumphantly. adria could feel the relief from queen alicent and the hand, the tired smiles.

 a large rumble was the only warning before the great red beast that was meleys broke through the floor of the dragonpit, sending an explosion of stone and dust throughout the pit. it was so thick adria could scarcely see, scarcely breath. she could hear screams as the smallfolk were crushed under the rubble or beneath meleys.

adria stumbled back, holding on tightly to helaena’s hand. they watched in horror as the beast approached, screeching a terrible cry. through the dust-filled air, the form of princess rhaenys appeared atop meleys. adria sucked in a sharp breath.

with a single word — a single thought, rhaenys could kill them all.

adria was frozen in fear, waiting to see what she would do, but alicent instinctively stepped in front of aegon. she whispered a command to ser criston who grabbed helaena and used his own body as a shield.

rhaenys never removed her gaze from the queen.

meleys inhaled, and adria nearly crumpled to the ground, but black leather filled her vision, a gloved hand holding her back.

aemond.

his back was to her, but his hand found its way to hers. she clutched it desperately

tears filled her eyes and she choked back a sob as meleys’ thundering roar filled the dragonpit. she shut her eyes, waited for the burning heat, the pain of death.

but the deafening rumble stopped, leaving only a ringing quiet. and adria was still standing, still holding onto aemond for dear life. she hardly dared breath until the great beast had burst through the doors of the dragon pit, leaving the screaming smallfolk and the stunned targaryens.

aemond turned, searching her face, “are you hurt?”

his voice was so quiet, so feather-light, that suddenly adria didn’t care that she hated him and he hated her. didn’t care that they had kissed, that she had slapped him or that he had held a knife to her throat. she just threw her arms around aemond’s neck and sobbed.

he was still for a moment, but his hands gingerly came to rest on adria’s waist. then suddenly, he was hugging her back, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

Heavy Voice - Diablo 4

I want it out there and on the record that I have known since the first days of the Open Beta that the weird half-dead wolf character was Mephisto. That's a legitimately proud moment I have as a lore enthusiast. The rune carved into his skull was a dead giveaway, appearing in the Book of Adria as a symbol connected to Mephisto. And boy... was it.

I just wanted to make this comic to say that I think Mephisto's voice just doesn't fit in D4. Do not get me wrong, it is an awesome voice, it is powerful, malevolent as all hell, and there is just a soft gurgling undertone to it that brings it all together. Steve Blum is the man! But my guy, I picture a body behind that voice that has actual weight to it. Have you seen Mephisto? He's a literal bone collection, he probably weighs less than a skinny adult human! I am convinced the VA was cast for the wolf, not Mephisto's real appearance. The strangest part is that Mephisto had the perfect voice in the past!

No, not Diablo 2.

Diablo 3! Listen! I have always loved this voice, every time I find this lore entry during a playthrough, I am so happy to listen to him! It's not a weighty voice, it sounds old, which fits because Mephisto is the eldest among all the demons, the Firstborn of Tathamet, basically. And to me it sounds like a cunning evil, especially with his last sentence being "Some battles can only be won with words". Now can a voice like this carry an entire main-entry game with him as the second big bad? A good question, I honestly have no idea. Maybe it really would not work on the long run, but certainly they could have found something closer to this than the Bass King in D4.

Okay but then why do I like Malthael's voice? That's incredibly deep too, and the guy looks like two french fries duck-taped together.

Well, first of all, Malthael is not that skinny actually. He appears so because of his design (which is genius, btw), but if you've tried to learn to draw him well, you realize he has some meat under that armor. I am certain he is what one might call a "sleeper build". Second, it's kind of hard for me to put it into words, but Malthael's voice has an empty echo-y subtone and feel to it that makes it far less weighty in my ears (and also shows just how far he has fallen). I don't know, does that make sense?

Either way, that was my deep dive into the Diablo franchise VA scene, thank you for coming to my TED talk! I still am very much looking forward to Vessel of Hatred, and to finally murder Mephisto once again as well. I don't hate him as much as Lilith, but I am sure he will earn it by the end of the story, whenever that will be.

If you have any voices that you love or hate, share them with me! It's fun!

Other Diablo 4 adventures!

CREATURE SIGHTED AT MANTEL MILL

From Adria; Green Lodge

There is something in the woods, and it's not a practical joke. Or is it? Most recently, it was sighted in Mantel Mill, walking around the fields by St. John's.

The creature was witnessed at around six PM. The church school's boys' soccer team had remained in the parking lot, under the lights, to share birthday cake for one of their members. Multiple players caught sight of the creature, which kept its distance and did not seem to react to their presence. "We dared [one of us] to walk up to it," one student told us. "He walked out there, and then, it was just gone. None of us saw it leave. He said it kept moving away. Like sliding." This creature is generally reported to be a four-legged, six-feet-high, stub-headed red animal or other creature. Its eyes are reflective or bright enough to be mistaken for a neighbor's lights at night. Previous reports have placed it at the windows of houses throughout the northern half of the county, and there are rumors at Ensor High that it has been seen on the grounds there. Could it really be an animal? The regular news has suggested a maned wolf that was somehow introduced into the area. While we have to admit that one would be gangly enough to meet that part of the description, a maned wolf is very fox-orange, dead-pine-leaf-camouflage orange, and not at all a theatrically bloody red. Their eyes do not glow. They're also not that big. Perhaps it is a prank after all. Jeannie, of the dream journal, suggested that it reminded her of a strider from The Dark Crystal. Those are performed by a human actor on stilts. A mask could be worn on the person's head. Glowing eyes would not be out of the question in this context; they just need batteries. The Ensor High principal recently suggested that the same prankster was responsible for the attack on their miniature horses. But in the grand tradition of Charles Fort, we cannot ignore the damned data. If this is a practical joke, a costume, then why has the barn at the high school remained cordoned off? Why has it been marked with biohazard signs? Why did the creature disappear before several witnesses, only to simply recede in front of the eyes of another? We were unable to get further comment from most of the local witnesses. When asked if they have had contact with the authorities, however, one person told us this. "We don't want them to come back." Another family has not been seen in the area, their house left locked. A security system was recently installed at their residence. Stay safe, readers. If you see something, we would love to hear from you about it.

history

a girl is born in a mountain village, to parents who had no want or love for a child. rather than raise the infant, a mouth they cannot feed, they do what they believe to be a kindness. mercy, even. they leave their child to die on the mountainside. exposed, alone, starving. it is the end of the peasant’s daughter. 

in coming, a party on horseback, returning from a well earned victory - scent of blood and sweat still clinging to their skin. shrill, desperate cries should be lost to the barren landscape; but are instead captured by senses heightened over years of intense training. a baby is found. it is the beginning of the viper’s girl. 

a baby is of little use to a brotherhood, on paper nothing but a burden. but the school of the viper sees potential, a child that can be moulded into a weapon from its very beginning. they raise her, patient through those first feeble years. until they can shape her into their masterpiece. she is three when she holds her first blade, supervised while it bites at the skin of her tender palm. five, when she makes the choice. seven, when she begins the first trial. 

the school of the viper pushes at the boundaries of the psyche, of will. it claws away at the innocence and humanity within. and when there is nothing left but an empty vessel, it fills the girl with poison. the kind that burns through her veins, twisting her thoughts into little but the yearning for hot, fresh blood on her finger tips. 

once that thirst is ignited, they teach the most valuable lesson she ever learns. anyone can be a monster. and for the right price, she will always be a monster hunter. 

a mutant soldier loyal to the cause ( of any death at her hand ) leaves the mountains on which she was meant to die. the world, and its coin, are at her feet. she chases it, follows the death and leaves it in her wake, pockets full of whatever she can claim. the people come to know the name, that døden will do anything for a price. 

as she ages, the thirst, hunger, insatiable within her grows. she feeds her desire with death. and when the killing is done, she feeds it again; this time with bodies warm beneath her in lieu of blood. it matters not the body itself - although much like her love of coin, she collects pretty things - but the power and control in the claiming of them. she learns a new skill, at the hands of a wanton sorceress, that vipers could never teach. seduction. 

over a century passes. the woman morrenna remains enshrouded behind the many faces of døden. she sees the collapse of her only home, the school of the viper, and feels nothing - another meaningless end. bodies pile up beneath her, blood on the sword, notches on the bedpost. the work gets dirty, she likes it that way. likes the lines blurred, no morality, just life and death and the choice is hers. 

she follows where the money takes her. skellige. a promise, an incentive is offered, an unusual prospect of life over death. of one desperate enough to trust that gold will keep her with them, and she will keep them safe.

Aiden Hills Academy pt.1 (Zayne's Story)

“Was it really real? That kind of vampire, werewolf, and siren?”

My father chuckled. “Yes, that's true. When in high school I befriended them.”

“But everyone always said it was just folktales.”

“Everyone just can't accept the truth. You know what Isaacs Newton said? What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.”

That's what I always remembered about my father.

After his mysterious death, in his will he wanted me to move from my public school to this private boarding school, Aiden Hills Academy. He said it can make me know more about myself. I don't know what he means, my mother already passed before I was 5, so I'm just alone now.

The taxi stopped in front of the black gate. I take out my belongings and a girl greets me. She was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw.

“Hi, you must be Ashley. I'm Adria, a head girl here. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too.” I shaked her hand and she helped me to take my belongings. After she showed me my shared room with the girl with the glasses. I think she was a bookworm when i saw so many books near her bed.

“Adria,” another girl poked her head into the room. “Rafayel got injured, he's in the clinic now.”

“Why did something happen to him, someone always told me?”

“He said, he wants you know.”

After that girl leaves, Adria talks to me, “Maybe before we explore our school, I'll show you the clinic.”

…

When we arrived there, Adria nagged that purple haired young man named Rafayel who was lying in bed with some bruises on his face. While Adria and Rafayel started an argument, I saw the wolf sleeping on the other bed. Male, with the black hair. I'm slowly approaching the wolf. I realized that the wolf got injured too. I pat the head slowly and rub the hair. I hope the wolf gets better. Suddenly the wolf’s eyes opened and looked at me. His hazel eyes hypnotized me.

“Ashley, let's go!”

I pat his head for the last time and follow Adria out.

…

“Hey, are you easy to fall asleep?” Ask Adria after we explore the entire school. I can't believe they had forests, lakes and little mountains here.

“I sleep easily but I easily wake up if I hear something. Why?”

“I hope you can help me by watching over Gretta, your roommate.”

“What's wrong with her?”

“Sometimes we found her sleepwalking at night. But when we asked this to her, she said she had never been sleepwalking before.”

“Okay, I'll watch her.”

…

Like what Adria said, I woke up that night because I heard my door open. I saw Gretta walk outside our room. Quickly I took my jacket and chased her outside.

“Gretta!” I tried to call her but she keep walking until I saw a figure a man at the end of corridor. That figure opened his arm like he will catches Gretta.

“Gretta, wake up!” Now Gretta in his arm, still closed her eyes and helpless.

I should call Adria. I turn around and start running, but I can't move. It was like something invisible hold my move. I almost cry when I see the hazel eyes in the dark watching me, and I hear the footstep aproaching me. That wolf in the clinic look at me back.

A second later that wolf changed to be young man with long dark hair. His uniform convince me, he was a student here. He was so handsome. The most handsome man I ever see.

“Let her go!”

Now I feel can move, but my knees are weakened.

“Oh, is she yours?” the figure's voice sounds mocking him.

“It's none of your business.” he said coldly.

This tension make me slowly unconscious. I feel I will drop myself to the floor. But a warm hand catches me and before I faint, I hear he whispers in my ear, “Good to see you, my mate.”

Fin.

**CHARACTER NAME:** Erica Reyes - usually uses the alias Erica Rivera

**CHARACTER FACECLAIM:** Adria Arjona 

**CHARACTER AGE/DOB:** August 16, 2003; 20 (but age is a little fucky bc she was dead for abt a year)

**CHARACTER PRONOUNS/GENDER IDENTITY/SEXUALITY ETC:** she/her/hers; cis female; pan probably.

**CHARACTER FANDOM:** Teen Wolf

**OC OR CANON:** Canon

**CHARACTER TYPE:** Werewolf (it’s complicated, but not in the selkie way, unfortunately)

**HOW LONG HAVE THEY BEEN IN NEW YORK/WHY ARE THEY THERE ETC:** Three years; after she dug herself outta her own grave she said “fuck this place and the horse you road in on” and fled Beacon Hills. 

**IMPORTANT CHARACTER INFORMATION TO NOTE AND SHARE:**

Erica’s part in the Teen Wolf show is canon. Erica grew up with epilepsy and was bullied and mistreated because of it. Derek Hale gave her the bite - something that drastically changed her in more ways than one. Eventually she was captured by the Alpha’s, along with her packmate Boyd. Erica fought her freedom, but was ultimately killed by Kali. Eventually, Derek, Scott, and Alison found her body and buried her in the woods.

She died bro. 

A year of Full Moon’s later, with the moon shining on Erica’s unmarked grave, Erica awoke inhaling dirt. 

Insert Jason Todd-esque digging herself outta her grave 

Erica’s assessment of Beacon Hills was “ABSOLUTELY NOT.” She didn’t think it was fair to put her parents through the pain of her daughter returning, and honestly, they seemed happy.

And… well, as for the rest of Beacon Hills? She hightailed her ass out of there. Sorry not sorry, Beacon Hills is cursed and she already died once. 

She fucked off to NYC to mind her own business and try to restart her life.

She contacted some seedy people in NYC to give her a new identity and a new life.

The moon healed her, but she didn’t come back the same. 

Her werewolf powers have changed considerably. She goes full dog and not by choice - no half transformations. Her eyes go silver, and she generally doesn’t have access to her mind/humanity, making it a necessity for her to lock herself up every month.

She also…. Sees things. Shadows. Spirits. Fragments of people who have long since passed. They scare her, especially when a living person has something wrong with their shadow – as if something else has attached itself to it. These people almost always die within 24 hours.

Erica’s epilepsy is no longer “locked away” as it had been after Derek gave her the bite. She has resumed treatment at an NYC hospital and it is considered stable. She carries a medical identity bracelet.

**THREE AESTHETICS THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR CHARACTER:** the smell of dirt waking you up after a long rest. the moon hanging low in the sky, its glow wrapping around you like a soft blanket. spirits wandering through a field of the living.

Toronto Film Festival 2023

Il Toronto International Film Festival con la sua edizione del 2023, prevista dal  7 al 17 settembre, ha lo scopo di mostrare il meglio del cinema indipendente, grazie alla sua lista di film. Alexander Payne, Richard Linklater, Kore-eda Hirokazu e Justine Triet sono tra gli autori che proporranno i loro ultimi lavori al festival, infatti Payne sarà presente con The Holdovers, una commedia ambientata in un collegio, che lo riunisce con la star di Sideways Paul Giamatti, mentre Linklater  avrà Hitman, una commedia d’azione con Glen Powell e Adria Arjona.  Inoltre Kore-eda e Triet proietteranno Monster e Anatomy of a Fall, entrambi presentati in anteprima a Cannes, dove quest’ultimo ha vinto la Palma d’oro. La prima ondata di selezioni del festival vede 60 film, in rappresentanza di 70 paesi in tutto il mondo ed è notevole nella sua mancanza di anteprime annunciate come Dune: Part 2 o l’adattamento musicale di The Color Purple, un segno che alcuni di questi film potrebbero spostare le loro date di uscita se gli scioperi degli attori e degli sceneggiatori si estendessero all’autunno, dato che gli studi cinematografici sono preoccupati di portare questi film se gli attori che vi recitano sono in sciopero e non possono promuovere il loro lavoro. Se alcune star stanno lavorando per ottenere deroghe da SAG-AFTRA gli altri studi indipendenti stanno solo portando avanti i loro piani di rilascio, sperando che venga raggiunta una risoluzione prima di far debuttare i film. Ma questo non vuol dire che il TIFF sarà privo di anteprime importanti come Dumb Money di Craig Gillespie, una dramedy sul GameStop di Sony, così come diversi film Netflix come Rustin di George C. Wolfe, Pain Hustlers di David Yates e Nyad di Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi e Jimmy Chin, che saranno tutti proiettati al festival. Apple porterà Flora and Son, un dramma musicale del regista di Sing Street John Carney, dopo averlo acquistato dal Sundance per $ 20 milioni e ci saranno diversi film di registi noti per il loro lavoro davanti alla macchina da presa, tra cui Michael Keaton (Knox Goes Away), Chris Pine (Poolman), Anna Kendrick (Woman of the Hour) e Viggo Mortensen (The Dead Don’t Hurt) mentre  Ethan Hawke porterà la sua ultima fatica da regista Wildcat, che vede protagonista sua figlia, Maya Hawke come la scrittrice Flannery O’Connor. I sostenitori del festival hanno sottolineato che hanno intenzione di continuare con i loro piani e in una dichiarazione il CEO del TIFF Cameron Bailey ha sottolineato l’ampiezza della lineup.

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warning(s): Death

Born as Elsa Vásquez, Elsa wasn’t with her mother long before she was put up for adoption. Her mother, Henrietta, was young when she had Elsa and was unprepared for the responsibilities that came with motherhood and she had since split from her boyfriend who was Elsa’s father. She hoped that in putting Elsa up for adoption she’d end up in a home with a family who longed for a child and was better equipped to raise one.

Elsa was adopted by a financially well off couple who passed every inspection and met every requirement to become adoptive parents. None of it was true as the couple, who weren’t really a couple at all, worked for a gang called Theos. The gang was in search of obedient and highly skilled hitmen to work for them and so the headhunter for the gang, Kerry Sullivan, proposed that she be given a partner to pose as a married couple and adopt a child. The reasoning behind this was that they could then raise a child, whose entire being was mailable and therefore could be shaped by them as was needed for Theos. This offset the large investment of time and money it would take to raise and so after some further deliberation the plan was approved of and set into motion.

As soon as she was in their care and Kerry and Oliver could be certain no one would come checking up on them they relocated to a more secluded location to raise and train Elsa at. Both Kerry and Oliver taught Elsa what they knew within their fields of expertise while she was tutored by other members of the gang in other subjects. She spent most of her time with those assigned to be her combat trainers and arms dealers for the knowledge of the weaponry that was used by Theos’s members. It was during her time in Theos that Elsa met Riley Thorton shortly after she had been recruited. Though the two didn’t speak much to one another, and Riley preferred to try and antagonize Elsa without frequent success, they crossed paths often because of their work within the gang and both being prominent hitmen for it. While Riley’s demeanor wasn’t one she particularly liked, Elsa found that she envied Riley for her free-spirited attitude and always pursuing the things she wanted. It caused Elsa to realize how numb she felt towards her own existence and began to wonder if being a hitman was really all there was to herself.

However, when Riley threw the gang into turmoil after killing the leader as per dictated by a contract she took up from a different gang, Elsa went freelance and the two didn’t see one another anymore. With the knowledge she’d acquired from Oliver when it came to finances she managed to get by, but it had been easier when she was apart of Theos than when she was on her own.

Her skill and reputation attracted the attention of a prominent assassination group called Vanesco. She was quick to accept their offer to join their ranks where she was put through rigorous training to hone her skills as an assassin. Throughout her time at Vanesco the nagging feeling of wanting to know what more life could offer her beyond an existence with killing as her job never left her. Work kept her busy though and so her curiosity was often cast aside in favor of doing her job to the high standards that Vanesco expected of all their assassins. Swallowing down her ideas of self-discovery and discovery of the world beyond the confinement of assassinations created a festering disassociation with regards to who she was now and who she could’ve been if she’d had a different life entirely that Elsa couldn’t ignore any longer.

RELATIONSHIPS

► MOTHER: Henrietta Vásquez (novelist; biological mother), Kerry Sullivan (headhunter at Theos; adoptive mother; deceased) ► FATHER: Anthony Rivera (line cook; biological father), Oliver McGraw (accountant at Theos; adoptive father; deceased) ► SIBLINGS: (None) ► OTHER: Kalani Ennis (hitman; acquaintances), Riley Thorton (hitman; frienemies)

MISC INFORMATION

► Was caught in barbed wire while still starting out as an assassin. She was reprimanded for this and was more careful not to repeat the same mistake again. ► While aware of who her biological mother is, a request that Vanesco accepted in a show of appreciation for her loyalty and efforts, she hasn’t felt a desire to get in contact as she’s uncertain of what she’d say. She also harbors some resentment for being put up for adoption. ► Kerry had Elsa’s last name changed to Wolf both to hide the connection to her biological mother and because she’d boasted that Elsa would be the Wolf of Theos. ► In the gunfight that ensued when Theos was thrown into chaos, Elsa took the opportunity to kill Kerry and Oliver. At first she didn’t know why she bothered to do so, but later came to understand she felt anger towards them for dragging her into the criminal lifestyle. She never told anyone of this. ► Has trouble expressing herself and can become irritated when doing so, particularly desires. She takes cues from what she’s read in books for help with this, which can sometimes lead to humorous, embarrassing, and awkward situations.

Family Visits

A shimmer rippled through the air and everything went silent. The sound of Madam Ira's quiet muttering as she turned pages stopped. The sound of turning pages period disappeared. The massive clock on the far wall had gone completely silent, it's pendulum frozen mid swing. Suddenly the beat of my heart felt deafening. Every thump reverberating like a bellowing drum. I was afraid to turn. Afraid to see what this frozen world may bring.

"I must say I'm disappointed, Adria. I expected more of my kin than to allow themselves to be... bound like that." The voice was smooth. Elegant. Familiar.

The hair on the back of my neck stood on end as I turned to meet the unsettling gaze of the King's new advisor, Lucien. His blond hair was messier, more rakish, today and it only served to make him look more dangerous as much as it did attractive. He grinned at at me with sharpened teeth. Just the four. Fangs like a wolf. He grinned like he wanted to devour me.

"At least I assume you were bound willingly, I would be disgusted to discover I had blood in someone too weak to overpower a pathetic little witch and her vampire friend." He bared his teeth at me and a shiver raced down my spine. He wanted me to know how dangerous he was. It wasn't like I could tell anyone. Whatever they saw when they looked at him, it wasn't the same creature I saw now. No one would believe me.

"What do you want?" I knew something felt wrong about him when he tried to influence my thinking. Something was more than wrong about him. Trouble was, I couldn't prove it.

"Well, I was going to just bring you home...," he sneered with lethal fangs. They did nothing to cow me. It was his promise of home that I had to work to ignore. I had no life. Nothing of my past to call my own. I had... a home? Would I even want to go somewhere he called home too? "But I see you've gotten yourself into a rather delicious predicament with the human prince and an angel. Each one willing to do anything you ask at a moments notice... I wonder," he looked away from me and tapped his chin thoughtfully. His nails were sharp and black like claws or talons. "I wonder who you'd choose... The prince willing to betray his kingdom to save you from his own blood? Or the angel willing to scorn heaven to save you from yours?"

He looked back over at me in a way that made me feel sick. What did he mean about Valerian betraying his kingdom to protect me from blood? Who was this angel he kept mentioning? How did he know any of this? It was entirely possible he was baiting me. Saying anything he needed to in order to get a rise out of me. I refused to let him have the satisfaction. I held my head up high and kept my spine straight.

"Who are you really?"

In less than a breath he was standing before me. My vision was entirely filed with his gaze. His eyes were so dark they were almost black, but in their depths I saw it. The darkest, most ominous shade of purple. Like a bruised midnight sky.

"I think you already know, even if you don't remember it yet," he said quietly. A threat whispered through the oppressive silence. I swallowed hard past the lump in my throat. "I'll see you soon," he promised with a hard jab at the base of my spine. I gasped in pain. A tear springing free as my hand reflexively went to the spot.

"Are you alright, dear?" Madam Ira was asking me. I jumped at the sound of her voice. The sound had returned as quickly as it had gone. The clock on the wall resumed ticking. The sound of pages turning down distant shelves. Even the wood floor creaking beneath my feet.

Unsettled, I stood rubbing at the spot at the base of my spine. It burned as if he had brought a match to my skin.

A Wolfe Dinner

Forks and knives scrapped the fine china plates in total silence. The silence was deafening. Adira wanted to scream for several reasons. Why the hell did her father want her boyfriend here? Why did her grandmother insist on being here? And far be it for Fabiola to miss a train wreck in the making, especially when she could help. The only thing that could make it worse would be in her aunt Elizabeth would be her with her now seventeen-year-old daughter Lexi. There was a knock on the door and Adira wanted to sink into the floor and take Colton with her. Kayja answered the door then walked into the dining room followed by her sour-faced aunt and her equally disdainful daughter.

“Mrs. and Ms. Crumplebottom.” Kayja said with a bow then made her way back to the kitchen.

“Lexi!” Fabiola cried while getting up to greet her cousin.

“So this is him. Addy darling I didn’t think you were the type to get taken in by looks.” Elizabeth said taking her seat at the table. “Sorry, we’re late. The husband wanted to know exactly where I was going and at what time I’d be back.” She added now addressing her brother and mother who were both wearing a scandalized look.

Luna sighed “At least you both made it in time for dessert and tea.” She said with her famous gracious smile. Elizabeth was nearing forty years old but that smile still made her scared for her life like it did when she was little. Adira for her part was staring at what was left of her meal thinking you’re one to talk auntie. Everyone knew that she only agreed to marry Talon because he was at least handsome. A decision that Elizabeth was regretting more and more each day as she had no qualms about expressing on more than one occasion. Colton placed his hand on her thigh under the table and Adira turned to smile at him something that Fabiola was quick to notice.

“Gross, at least pretend to be a decent pureblood.” She said sneering while getting back in her seat. Fabiola waived her hand to pull out a chair for Lexi who took it gratefully.

“Yeah like, way to keep your good girl image girl. Broadcast to everyone you’re a muggle loving slut.” Lexi added matching Fabiola’s smirk.

“Alexandra Marie Crumplebottom, I thought we taught you more creative language than that,” Elizabeth said looking at her daughter with a mix of disappointment and exasperation on her face. Lexi just rolled her eyes.

Luna laughed into her hand. “Forgive her sweetheart it’s not like you didn’t utter your share of expletives when you were her age,” Luna said smiling at Lexi fondly. Adira had her hand over Colton’s who by that time had turned a shade of red. Please keep the focus on your favorite granddaughter. She preyed squeezing her boyfriend’s hand

“Though you’d never hear such language from Adira here. I do wish she would be as creative with language as she is with her music and her choices in a partner.” Luna said. Her eyes surveyed Colton for probably the millionth time that evening. As if looking for something that she had yet to find about him.

“You will forgive me but I don’t believe in making my point with excessive language,” Adira said, sounding meeker than had in her head. She cursed herself for speaking at all.

Elizabeth snorted. “Spoken like a true spineless twat. Probably why you chose mussels here. Dumb but able to protect you if you get into a tight spot, is that the idea? I mean, as far as I heard you’re in rudimentary Charms. So having physical strength by your side might be a help.” She giggled as if the very thought were ridiculous.

“I’m in supplementary lessons because of the advanced nature of the magic I’ve taken on. It’s different.” Adira corrected then winced. She shouldn’t have said anything. Normally she would have just let her family take their shots at her, using their biting words to fuel her all night writing benders but Elizabeth had taken a shot at two things that hit a nerve, her music, and Colton.

Colton felt her shaking and threaded his fingers through her’s. “While we’re at it. I’m in several of Adira’s advanced classes and even if I wasn’t Adira is free to choose whoever she wants to date.” He said staring daggers at the four women.

”Ew, it speaks,” Fabiola said pushing her plate of food forward. “And suddenly I’ve lost my appetite. APRICOT” She screeched making Lexi cover her ears. The plate of food vanished instantly, it’s place taken by a rather large sunday.

“Weren’t you on a diet?” Lexi asked looking at the thing.

“Does it look like I need to be on one?” Fabiola asked glaring at Lexi as if daring to keep her train of thought going. Lexi took the hint and looked down. I thought you had more fight in you than that Adira thought but then no one stood against Fabiola for long.

“Fabby darling, you’re beautiful as you are but it would do you well to slow down on the sugar. It will catch up to you.” Luna said kindly. Caught in between two of your prized grandchildren grandmama? Adira turned her head away so they wouldn’t see her smirk. “Addy, what is this I hear about you taking on one more day of ballet?” She asked turning the conversation back to Adira. Fuck

“Well a competition is coming up and Colton and I want to make sure that we’re in the best shape we can be in.” She said doing her best to smile.

Luna’s eyes went back to Colton. “Isn’t he too wide to be a dancer?” She said very bluntly for it being Grandma Luna. Lexi and Fabiola burst out laughing.

Why couldn’t they be twins and I be born to another family? “Colton is part of the orchestra and he will be playing the piece that I’m going to be dancing to,” Adira said simply.

“Oh, and what is that you play young man?” Luna asked. Fabiola and Lexi had been distracted with extra sweets that had been summoned to the table.

“Piano is my main instrument though I am a fair flute player,” Colton said modestly. Adira smiled then. Fair was putting it lightly. He was as brilliant at the flute as he was at the piano though she could never get him to admit it.

“Fair. And you’re happy with fair?” Luna asked. Grandma please no. Adira begged in her mind. She had been weighed by this kind of questioning before and didn’t want Colton to be subjected to it too. Luna was crushing when she hit her stride.

“Of course he’s happy with fair. He is a muggle after all and all his kind can ever be is fair.” Elizabeth said smiling at the both of them.

“You were always hard to please Lizzy.” Nikolai said airily. He was looking over messages on his phone.

“And you are as distracted as ever dear little brother.” Elizabeth shot back. Nikolai put his phone down and coughed embarrassedly. You’d think you’d pay more attention after killing mom that way. Adira thought.

“He’s not a muggle!” Adira finally snapped. “One of his fathers is a vampire!” She added hoping to get them to lay off him a bit. She could take their scrutiny but Colton had done nothing to deserve it.

Fabiola made a show of choking on her spoon. “So you’re saying that your boyfriend is not only the son of two worthless males but he’s also a powerless Dampher? My gods dad just disown her already.” She hissed. Fabiola for her part didn’t give a damn what he was he was still a male and by their very nature were worthless to her.

“Says the one who’s trying to get in the skirt of a berry with no magical heritage at all.” Adira countered. Fabiola gasped and all eyes turned on her now. “Run.” She whispered to Colton.

“I’m not leaving you here alone.” He whispered back but then his text alert noise sounded. His fathers were calling all the brothers home and he had to go too. “Sorry.” He said taking his leave of the table.

“You leave Amanda out of this muggle lover.” Fabiola hissed when Colton had left.

“Then you leave Colton out of your insults,” Adira said. Reckless, she was being reckless. She would have to be very careful of where she went over the next following days but it felt good to speak up for once.

“Now Addy if Fabiola has a crush on this young woman then there has to be something special about her,” Luna said calmly.

“Well yes. She has naturally turquoise hair.” Adira said crossing her arms.

“There is more to her than that!” Fabiola said slamming her hands down on the table.

“Yeah then name it!” Adira yelled back.

“Addy darling calm down,” Elizabeth said reaching for her angry niece.

”Don’t touch me!” Adira said backing away from her. “You were helping try and get rid of Colton. Don’t any of you try and deny that’s what this dinner was about.” Adira said now in tears.

“We are just trying to protect you, darling. Things rarely go well with those not of our own kind.” Luna said.

“Why don’t you let me be the judge of that. Or don’t you think that you’ve taught me how to judge character?” She asked looking at her grandmother now. Luna sputtered. “And you, so much of a coward to confront Colton yourself so you have your sister and mine dig into him!” She shouted at her father.

Nikolai held his hands up. “I honestly was just trying to meet the boy-”

“Don’t you dare lie to me dad. I hate you all!” Adira yelled and stormed off to her room. Luna looked at Nikolai who just shrugged. Luna walked off to the living room for her evening tea muttering about the weakness of parents nowadays.

Adira stopped crying eventually but she knew that Colton would never talk to her again after this. Just then she heard a tapping at the window. She thanked Tamarind for installing the flower vines next to her window when she saw who was there. “I thought you’d never want to see me again.”

“Why on earth would I do that?” He asked taking her into his arms for a hug.

“Everyone was horrible to you and they’re my family so…” Adira trailed off thinking about the people she was forced to call her blood.

“Hey, hey I fell in love with you, not them. We’ll go so far away you won’t have to talk to them again.” He said running his fingers through her hair as she buried her face in her chest.

“What about your family?” She asked. She loved the Shmitts and it would break her heart if Colton had to lose communication with them because of her.

“They’ll know where we are and can visit anytime. I’ll make it make things better for you I promise.” Colton said holding on to her. They had talked about life together before though Adira had never taken it as seriously as she did now.

“Everyone’s gone home and dad’s got called into the office to deal with a “crisis”,” Adira said smiling up at him mischievously. Colton leaned down and kiss her a little more roughly than he’d meant to but Adira didn’t mind at all.
