Watching the new season of Black Butler and... I really love the Prefects.

I mean, they keep their traditions, they understand the root of the problem (and get rid of it), and also they're not bitchy like a lot of media shows.

Like with the lawn in the first episode. Normally in settings like that the Prefects would come and bitch out to the MC for breaking a rule, but they welcomed him to the school and only fixed his tie. They are understanding (the Fourth of June, how Greenhill treated the Blue Team) and they only point out the actually bad things Ciel has done (being late by 2 hours to the tea party, being rude to the Head Master).

They do deserve the title of the Prefect. I love them sooo much.

"Humor jest jedyną szansą na przetrwanie dla bardzo wrażliwych ludzi. Powtarzam: jedyną szansą. Dość wcześnie zorientowałem się, że mówiąc coś w śmieszny sposób, można uniknąć kłopotów. (...) To także świetny sposób na radzenie sobie z pewnymi emocjami, które podane inaczej czynią z nas żałosnych sentymentalistów".

I was lucky enough to have lunch with Etgar Keret while in Tel Aviv.

Etgar , with his deft hand, named this drawing “The Carrot Of Damocles”.

If you haven’t read his books, I highly recommend. Start anywhere! One of my favorites is “The Bus driver who wanted to be God”; one of my favorite quotes comes from there.

"There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed."

"He misses the feeling of creating something out of something. That’s right—something out of something. Because something out of nothing is when you make something up out of thin air, in which case it has no value. Anybody can do that. But something out of something means it was really there the whole time, inside you, and you discover it as part of something new, that’s never happened before."

Etgar Keret, tr. Nathan Englander, Miriam Shlesinger, & Sondra Silverston, from “Suddenly, a Knock on the Door,” Suddenly, a Knock on the Door: Stories (via whisperthatruns)

We’re meeting Wisp’s barbarian teacher next session so im drawing him here’s a WIP with the references/inspiration according to the DM

[eurekavalley]

They were a good match. Both had been children in Poland during the war, so neither of them had any idea what a normal childhood or a normal home would be. So there was something in their friendship that it was half like a married couple, but it was also half like kindergarten children playing together. And I think that the kindergarten part seemed much more powerful than the grown up part.

Israeli films with female protagonists.

Zero Motivation (2014) dir. Talya Lavie

A unit of female Israeli soldiers at a remote desert base bide their time as they count down the minutes until they can return to civilian life.

Cinema Sabaya (2021) dir. Orit Fouks Rotem

Eight women, Arab and Jewish, take part in a video workshop hosted by Rona, young filmmaker. With each camera take, the group dynamic forces the women to challenge their beliefs as they get to know one other.

Jellyfish (2007) dir. Shira Geffen & Etgar Keret

Jellyfish tells the story of three very different Israeli women living in Tel Aviv whose intersecting stories weave an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life. Batya, a catering waitress, takes in a young child apparently abandoned at a local beach. Batya is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a young bride who breaks her leg in trying to escape from a locked toilet stall, which ruins her chance at a romantic honeymoon in the Caribbean. One of the guests is Joy, a Philippine chore woman attending the event with her employer, and who doesn't speak any Hebrew (she communicates mainly in English), and who is guilt-ridden after having left her young son behind in the Philippines.

Blush (2015) dir. Michal Vinik

Trying to escape her tumultuous home life, Naama, 17, indulges in alcohol and drugs, but everything changes when she meets a sexy, free-spirited new girl at school and the two become more than fast friends.

Atomic Falafel (2015) dir. Dror Shaul

Two girls from nuclear towns in Israel and Iran spill their countries most valuable secrets on Facebook while trying to prevent a nuclear crisis.

Kiss Me Before It Blows Up/Kiss Me Kosher (2020) dir. Shirel Peleg

When two generations of Israeli women fall for a German woman and a Palestinian man, chaos follows. What happens with lovers who don't fit--but do belong together?

Red Cow (2018) dir. Tsivia Barkai

Red Cow is a coming-of-age film that takes place in the days leading up to the assassination of Rabin and depicts the life of Benny, 16, orphaned from mother at birth and the only child of Joshua - a religious, right-wing extremist, in those critical junctures when she is forming her sexual, religious and political awareness.

Sand Storm (2016) dir. Elite Zexer

A Bedouin village in Northern Israel. When Jalila’s husband marries a second woman, Jalila and her daughter’s world is shattered, and the women are torn between their commitment to the patriarchal rules and being true to themselves.

Cloud One is adapted from a erotic story by Etgar Keret WINDOWS published in Playboy Magazine. If Sophie is going to play the virtual friend then she about to film sex scenes for this movie with Boyd Holbrook

Hello anon,

I read the OG story "Windows."

I don't consider it a erotic story, there are sex scenes between Mickey and Natasha, and between two other secondary characters but none of them are graphic and none of them longer than a paragraph or even a couple of lines.

The whole love triangle between Mickey, Natasha and the Therapist, and the virtual child are not from the OG story, so those plots are added by the writer/director Goran Dukic.

Natasha is described as a woman in her 30's with curly black hair, so she will be probably played by the italian actress Simona Tabasco. This is not the first time this movie is attempted to be made, in the past the actresses casted to play Natasha were Rachel Weisz, and later Jennifer Connelly, both with dark hair.
