Suki Takes It Off (Again) is a new short story by R J Dent and it is published today (10th April, 2023) by D.F.L. Lit.

Suki Takes It Off (Again) was inspired by an initial anecdote (told to the author by his brother), and then plotted and written after several months of research into ventriloquism, particularly the work of the incredibly talented Nina Conti.

Suki Takes It Off (Again) is about a professional ventriloquist who is called to the hospital bedside of her dying mother.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival: Day 2

Day two started with a, later than Wednesday, bus trip into town for an ill-fated visit to see The Last Laugh, a play starring characters playing Bob Monkhouse, Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper.  You can imagine the audience demograph. Well, the computer said no because I’d booked the tickets for the Friday not the Thursday.  So, our pal Lesley is going with a friend today instead.  I’m sure she…

beh che dire follettini e follettine l'altro social sta andando ai pazzi dopo che un giornalista ha twittwto che la seire italiana si sta scostando dall'originale e che l'argomento bisessualita non è stato trattato perché mancava il coraggio

so tutti incazzati neri(una più di altri devo dire) per le parole del tipo e la promotion della serie che faceva intendere cose che nella serie a conti fatti non sono state inserite, ma secondo me non dipende nemmeno troppo dagli attori io penso gli abbiano chiesto di fare hype in quel modo perché il team dietro sapeva che le fan amavano i simuel

comunque... tra tutto quello che è trapelato onestamente non ci sto più a capi un cazzo sarò onesta

A sto punto spero solo che i miei bimbi Simone e Mimmo abbiano almeno un finale decente perché qui non so più manco che strada potrebbe prendere sta serie

A e se Mimmo se ne va e non lo riportano per la S3 ma Nina rimane col cazzo che la guardo la S3!(la guarderò probabilmente per far compagnia a mia mamma)

Ho visto la prima stagione di Un professore due anni fa quando è andata in onda e ovviamente la parte che mi interessava di più era il rapporto tra Simone a Manuel e ho giustamente gioito quando nel finale della stagione 1 c’è stata la famosa scena perché, nonostante la reazione di Manuel, sembrava l’inizio di qualcosa.

Riguardando la prima però mi sono anche resa conto dei comportamenti sbagliati di Manuel nei confronti di Simone: gli insulti, il farlo sentire sbagliato. E mi sono detta ok, non è un bell’atteggiamento ma nel percorso di un personaggio che scopre la sua sessualità può starci. E sarebbe andato bene se nella stagione 2 gli autori avessero deciso di esplorare di più questo aspetto della personalità di Manuel ma così non è stato.

Di fatto la stagione 2 ha preso una direzione completamente diversa e a conti fatti (perché la stagione esiste e non si può ignorare) io dico che spero che Simone e Mimmo siano endgame.

Il loro rapporto è stata la cosa più bella di questa stagione: Mimmo ha accolto i suoi sentimenti per Simone senza paura e trattando sempre Simone con dolcezza e affetto (nonostante il tipo di contesto in cui è cresciuto e quello in cui si trova in carcere). Ho pianto sinceramente alla scena dell’addio perché mi ha spezzato il cuore vederli così e spero davvero che Mimmo ritorni nella stagione 3 e loro due possano avere un lieto fine.

In quanto a Manuel si sono davvero impegnati questa stagione per renderlo antipatico, nelle prime puntate poteva sembrare che avessero sacrificato il rapporto con Simone in nome di un amicizia fraterna, visto anche la storia dei loro genitori ma poi nelle ultime si è rivelato egoista e approfittaore. Anche col padre (potenzialmente una bella storyline) sembra che alla fine se lo faccia andar bene solo perché ricco sfondato… bah. La storia con Nina nemmeno la commento. Quindi mi dispiace ma non posso shippare Simone con questo Manuel.
