Film after film: Barbara (dir. Christian Petzold, 2012)

Hoss is exquisite in Petzold's drama about a doctor, who's punished for wanting to leave East Germany in the 1980s by being sent to work at a provincial hospital somewhere near the Baltic Sea. Constantly surveilled, humiliated, and harassed, she plans to leave, but then something else happens. It's a solid, tightly narrated drama.

Describe your perfect home, what kind of building is it, what does it looks like outside and where is it? How many rooms does it have, what kind of rooms are they and what aesthetic? Does it have gardens? Does you house have a name?

Does anyone or anything live with you? Describe your neighbours if you want, and finally, what is one magical item you secretly keep there. 💜🏡

Yes let's daydream.... My perfect magical home... I want an old brick house. I like gothic, victorian, Art nouveau or even older architecture styles. A huge garden full of flowers and vegetables, fruits and animals. I want sooo many trees everywhere. A pond with water lillies. A forest full of bluebells. I want to see birds and deer around all year. I want old and beautiful things. Pretty wallpaper and cute kitchen tiles. Wood floor. So many paintings and collections of little pretty things. Stars on the ceiling of the bedroom. A guest room. Living room with a green velvet Couch. A greenhouse. A country cottagecore kitchen. A mermaid bathroom. An attic like in the beautiful 90s witch movies. Maybe a tower with a secret entrance full of witchy magical things. A wall full of books, movies and music. A stained glass window! A house with a name is such a lovely thought I might call it Bluebellgrove. A magical secret maybe a fae forest around, a dragon sleeping in the cellar guarding my gold, nymphs in the pond, dryads in the trees, ghost in the attic. All supernatural being are welcome. They can be my neighbors and the animals and trees. 🌲🌳🌿🦇🦔🐿️

Imagine a Mix of the addams family, Pippi longstocking's house (plus animals and Gold treasure in the cellar) , the spellman aunt's house (old and New Version plus talking cat), wizard school aesthetic with a bit of thranduil's woodelven palace. A movie set like Tim burton, Wes Anderson, Guillermo del Toro, Terry Gilliam and the All of the movie Sets in Penelope (Christina Ricci movie) Tim walker Photographs.

Dark Cottagecore, dark academia, eclectic, french abandoned castle, english countryside, american 90s witch, Grimm's Fairytale haunted forest, Edmund Dulac, Alfons Mucha, John Bauer illustration style.

Chapter 16, Raven is suddenly a bitch and we're going to read japnese?

AN: u no wut! sut up ok! proov 2 me ur nut prepz! raven u suk u fuken bich gimme bak mah fukijn swteet ur supsd 2 rit dis! Raven wtf u bich ur suposd to dodis! BTW fangz 2 britney5655 4 techin muh japnese!

XXXXXXXXXXXXX666XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

We ran happily to Hogsmede. There we saw the stage where GC had played. We ran in happly. MCR were there playing ‘Helena’. I was so fucking happy! Gerard looked even sexier than he did in da pictures. Even Richard thought so, I could totally see him getting an erection but it didn’t matter cuz I knew know that we were da only true ones for eachother. I was wearing a black leather booty shorts and black leather platinum boots with red ripped fishnets. Richard was wearing a soft pink baggy t-shirt ,black baggy pants and a red beanie. Anyway, we stated moshing to Mambo No 5. We frenched. We ran up 2 the front of the band to stage-dive. Suddenly, Gerard pulled off his mask. So did the others. We gasped. It wasn’t them at all. It was.,……………………….. Volsemort and da Death Dealers!

“Wtf Richard im not going to a concert wid u!” I shouted angrily. “Not after what happened to me last time? Even if its Frans Bauer n u no how much I lik them”

“What cause we…you know…” he gadgetted uncomfortbli cause guys don’t like to talk a bout you-know-what.

“Yeah cause we you know!” I yielded in an angry voice.

“We won’t do that again.” Richard promised. “This time, we’re going with an ESCORT.”

“OMFG wtf is a whore going to do? Are you giving into the mainstream?” I asked. “So I guess ur a prep or a Christina or what now?”

“NO.” he muttered loudly.

“R u becoming a prep or what?” I shootd angrily.

“Paul Darkness Alzheimer Birdflu Landers! I’m not! Pls come with me!” He fell down to his knees and started singing my favorite song to me

I was flattened cause that’s not even a single, he had memorized da lyrks just 4 me!

“OK then I guess I will have to.” I said and then we frenched 4 a while and I went up 2 my room.

Frau Schneider was standing there. “Hajimemashite gurl.” she said happily (she spex Japanese so do i. dat menz ‘how do u do’ in japanese). “BTW Willow that fucking poser got expuld. she failed al her klasses and she skepped math.” (an: RAVEN U FUKIN SUK! FUK U!)

“It serves that fuking bich right.” I laughed angrily.

Well anyway we where felling all deprezzed. We wutsched some goffic movies like Das niteMARE b4 xmas. It was a German dub. “Maybe Willow will die too.” I said.

“Kawai.” Frau Schneider shook her head enrgtically lethrigcly. “Oh yeah o have a confession after she got expuld I murdered her and den loopin did it with her cause he’s a necphilak.”

“Kawai.” I commnted happily "That is convenient and not at all expected!" . We talked to each other in silence for da rest uv da movie. (Editors note: How do you talk in silence? Do they suddenly know ASL? BURN THE WITCH!)

“OH HEY BTw, im going to a concert with Richard tonight in Hogsmeade with Miley Cyrus.” I sed. “ I need to wear like da hotset outfit EVA.”

Frau Nodded ENREGeticALLlY. “Omfg totally lets go shopping.”

“In Hot Topic, right?” I asked, already getting out my spshcial Hot Topic Loiyalty carde.

“No.” My head snaped up.

‘WHAT?” my head spuin. I could not believe it. “Frau Schneider are u a PREP?”

“NOOOO!NOOOO!” She laughed. “I found some cool goffic stores near Hogwarts that’s all.”

“Hu told u abut them” I askd sure it would be Richard or Diabolo or Vampire (don’t even SAY that nam to me!). Or me.

“Till.” She sed. “Let me just call our broms.”

“OMFFG TILL?” I asked quietly.

“Yah I saw the map for Hogsmeade on his desk.” She told me. “Come on let’s go.”

We were going in a few punkgoff stores SPECIALLY for the concerts in Hogsmeade. The salesperson was OMG HOTTER THAN GERARD EXCEPT NOT CAUSE THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE and he gave me a few dresses. “We only have these for da real goffs.”

“Da real goffs?” Me and Frau Schneider asked.

“Yah u wouldn’t believe how many posers ther are in this town man! Yesterday loopin and Flake tried to buy a goffic camera pouch.” He shook his head. “I dint even no they had a camera.”

“OMFG NO THEIR GONNA SPY ON ME AGAIN!” I cried, running out of the changing room wearing a long black dress with lots of red tulle coming out and very low-cut with a huge slit.

“Oh my satan you have to buy that outfit” The salesperson said.

“Yeah it looks totlly ridiculous. But buy it and I will steal it from you” said Frau.

“You know what I am gona give it to you free cause u look really hot in that utfit. Hey are you gonna be at the concert tonight?” he asked.

“Yeah I am actually.” I looked back at him. “Hey BTW my name’s Paul Darkness Trilobyte Birdflu Landers what’s yours?”

“Tom Rid.” He said and ran a hand through his black-dyed hair. “maybe I’ll see you there tonight.”

“Yeah I don’t think so cause I am going there with my bf Richard you sick perv!” I yelled angrily, but before he could beg me to go with him, Hargrid flew in on his black broom looking worried. “OMFG PAUL U NEED OT GET BACK INTO THE CASTLE NOW!” 

"How dare you not use my full name?" I cried depressedly. It was a real curse that I was just so beautiful that people could not remember my full name because they were blinded by my radiance and their sheer love for me.

GP Espoo RD Quick Thoughts

Gilles/Poirier

* strengths: putting the ChRS at the very beginning so it doesn’t disrupt the rest of the choreo. Mirrored portion of the MiSt is very visually interesting where each does a rocker and counter instead of the same turn. Ice coverage in the PSt is very good with some interesting use of crossed hand in hand, however very little of it during the turns themselves.

* weaknesses: no true latin character in either rhythm or choreography, especially outside of their one rhumba section where it’s unclear whether they’re trying to express cha cha or samba and the only integrated choreo is a New Yorker Cha Cha step or a solo Samba roll. Weak edge quality by both especially during the MiSt with very little ice covered as a part of the actual step or turn. Mostly covered in basic stroking or chassés. A weak rotational lift for one of the top teams in the world especially given that they’ve also repeated their previous RD RoLi for 4 years. Overall, significantly little ice covered on one foot, significant amounts of two-footed skating in a RD which isn’t broken up by a stationary element like the ChRS or StaLi.

Twizzles: W3, M2

PG pirouetted in 2nd set, -1 level

PP pirouetted in 2nd set, tripped out of the 3rd set acting as their 4th and only level C feature, -2

MiSt: W2, M3

PG hopped rbi counter

PG flat rfo rocker

PP flat rfo c-step (if you called Piper strict she also flattened out on the entrance edge but not to the degree Paul did)

PSt: PSt3

PG very flat exit of rfo rocker

Hawayek/Baker

* strengths: significantly stronger salsa and cha cha character reflected in choreography and interpretation than G/P. I think Jim Carrey allows them to remain quirky but also authentically latin in a way I would say the entire field has struggled with this year. Really enjoy their MiSt with the use of the swing c-& s-steps as well as the ina bauers, a lot more ice coverage on the curves of the turns themselves. In particular the LFO rocker to direction change exit with the inside edge ina bauer is so effective. Also love the fake out of looking like KHaw is going into a RBO rocker out of the 2Tw but instead going for the skid stop.

* weaknesses: strongest elements at the beginning, underwhelming straightline lift that doesn’t reflect the character or timing of the music, rather open in the PSt when I would love to see some more flares with changes of hold.

Twizzles: W3, M4

Not sure about the first feature, extending the leg forward makes it look like they’re not maintaining that 45 deg extension (normally done to the side). Not sure if that’s the camera angle or what, but that could potentially be a loss of level for both.

KH loses level on that second set pirouette

MiSt: both 3

I would ding them both on the swing RFO S-step for not holding the LBI exit for nearly long enough, but everything else looked really clean, C step overall curve looked pronounced.

PSt: 4

all turns clean!

Carreira/Ponomarenko

* strengths: choosing Bossa Nova! Adria did a fantastic job on choreography for the top half of this RD, does such a good job emphasizing how much Christina’s command has improved. Particularly love the changes of edge into rocker and XB steps after the counter. Good use of closed hold in parts of the PSt. Strong lift but I think it suffers a bit in comparison to T/V who hold the top position instead of moving through a change of pose. I think the first two music selections are A+ and do a great job of showing off their maturity and improvements.

* weaknesses: ice coverage on steps and the exit edges, particularly in the MiSt on both the S and C steps, just very little speed carried onto that second curve given how well they’re emphasizing and holding the entrance edge. Anthony in general is looking tentative and scratchy on turns. I think it hurts them to end on that samba in a rather stagnant ChRS after such a strong RD that primarily showed their fluidity and Christina’s vastly improved extension & body/edge control. Would love to see them rework that section.

Twizzles: W4, M4

No checking or pirouetting! only minor thing is Anthony’s leg is a lot higher on their little kick flare after the first set and Christina’s coupe is a bit neater. That’s kinda it. Really well matched in that second set.

MiSt: W3, M2

AP rfo rocker flat

AP rfi bracket scratched on exit

both flat rfo c-step

PSt: PSt3

CC rfo rocker ✅

AP rbo s step ✅

CC lfi counter (in hold, super crisp with that right leg extension on the entrance edge) ✅

AP rfo c step (flat on entrance)

Turkkila/Versluis

* strengths: carriage, extension, posture are the class of the entire ice dance field, and not just at this event. The samba portions at the beginning and end are really well done and not frenetic like some ice dancers tend to slip into to mimic the speed of samba steps. The helicopter turn entrance to their rhumba section after the twizzles is a fantastic use of movement to set a mood change. Outside hold to killian in PSt is effective and I would love if they would use more of it in the second half of the PSt. In the MiSt Im really fond of the RBO S-step immediately into the counter.

* weaknesses: at times a bit too polished and formal. The rhumba section is more just slower movements and not like specifically rhumba movements other than really the lift. Would love to see the ina bauers in their PSt connected through more intricate changes in hold or combinations of steps. Missing that first “and IIIIIII-“ in Wicked Games in the PSt is a huge missed opportunity especially if you’re gonna use it for rhumba when it’s not rhumba music. The second stop in the ChRS and in the MiSt (tho I think the exit is great) are slightly too long to be effective IMO.

Twizzles: W4, M3

Matthias pirouettes in that second clockwise set

MiSt: both 2

both slightly too flat on that rfo entrance to the rocker

both flat rfi bracket

PSt: PSt3
