#countdown to Cree

[she-whatshername]

Did somebody say, Tyrrish Men Headcanons you didn’t ask for?!

Smoochies Edition

AN: Ya’ll, I have put myself in a rather precarious position as I have somehow got myself into writing a slow burn, rivals to lovers fic (It’s called ‘Drifted’, please check it out) and I am several chapters away from a kiss scene…So I need to just Headcanon this out for my own sanity.

How I envision how they like to kiss

Bodhi:

Certified Angel this one

His kisses have emotions to them. You can feel his joy, relief, love, etc each time you kiss. Like synesthesia for the mouth.

Stands behind you and lets you lean back into his chest, wrapping an arm across your chest or at your waist. If you tilt your head back or, better yet, fall asleep, he’s got you. Kisses your shoulder or base of your neck to wake you up.

Ultimate Move: He will caress his hand across your jaw and cradle the back of your head and kiss you. He wants to hold you, always.

I wish to type more but I am saving it for ‘Drifted’

Garrick:

This man puts the rizz in Charisma.

Short, precise kisses. Smiles against your lips a lot.

Ultimate Move: He will reach for your hand and pull it to his mouth for a kiss but in a fraction of a second turn it over and kiss your wrist instead. All while never breaking eye contact with you.

His eye contact is illegal in several provinces.

Bites your lip when he kisses you. Bites a lot of stuff actually.

Xaden:

Forehead kisses. Yep. I said it. This man loves a five second forehead kiss. Eyes closed, taking all of you in.

At first, its light touches and glances in your direction. If you’ve charmed this man enough….get ready for endless touches.

Does not hug, but embraces. Like arms around the shoulders is not his thing. He’s hands on the small of your back, legs touching legs. Like he’s trying to fuse you two together so he can be with you always.

Ultimate Move: Hand on either side of your face, caressing your cheeks and just devouring you with his mouth. Does he come up for air? Never. This shadow creature has mastered the art of kissing and breathing through his nose.

He’s said it before he could live with his mouth attached to your face and like the true perfectionist he is he trained his body to do just that

“Welcome to Sandy Eggo”

Scott Shaw / Bill Morrison

[everyday6]

question: is anyone staying up for the comeback, and follow up question: would they like to rabbit in like 2 hours

[darkacua]

Lilia marries Yuu because Malleus was sad at the thought of Yuu leaving Twisted Wonderland.

Imagine that Crowley finally found a way to return Yuu to his original world and while everyone is thinking something like "well, this was coming and it was inevitable" Malleus is too sad to think that the human who taught him so much and selflessly offered their friendship is leaving forever. He locks himself in his bedroom and refuses to see Yuu because it feels like a countdown to the inevitable and Lilia isn't having any of that.

The day after a farewell party is held for Yuu that gets out of hand because of the alcohol they brought and consumed smuggled cough cough and of which conveniently nobody remembers anything, only to discover photos of an express wedding... between Lilia and Yuu.

Malleus is happy, although he believes that this union will not last long due to the inevitable return of his friend… until they discover that for now being married Yuu can't leave Twisted Wonderland and there is no such thing as divorce among the fae, thus they are stuck in this world, again.

On the plus side, Malleus is no longer sad and their husband doesn't seem bothered by this strange occurrence, now that they thinks about it no one in Diasomnia's dorm seems surprised by said wedding.

Español bajo el corte.

Lilia se casa con Yuu porque Malleus se puso triste al pensar que este ultimo deje Twisted Wonderland.

Imaginen que Crowley por fin encontró la manera de regresar a Yuu a su mundo original y mientras todos están pensando algo como "bueno, esto ya se venia venir y era inevitable" Malleus esta demasiado triste en pensar que el humano que le enseño tanto y les ofreció su amistad desinteresadamente se este yendo para siempre. Se encierra en su dormitorio y se niega a ver a Yuu porque lo siente como una cuenta regresiva a lo inevitable y Lilia no esta teniendo nada de eso.

Se hace de día después una fiesta de despedida hecha para Yuu que se les sale de las manos por el alcohol que trajeron y consumieron *cof de contrabando cof* y de la cual convenientemente nadie recuerda nada, solo para descubrir fotos de una boda express... entre Lilia y Yuu.

Malleus se pone feliz aunque cree que no durara mucho tiempo esta unión por el inevitable regreso de su amigo... hasta que descubren que por ahora estar casado Yuu no puede dejar Twisted Wonderlan y no existe tal cosa como el divorcio entre los fae, por lo tanto esta atascado en este mundo, de nuevo.

El lado positivo es que Malleus ya no esta triste y su esposo no parece molesto por este extraño acontecimiento, ahora que lo piensa nadie en el dormitorios de Diasomnia parece sorprendido por dicha boda.

I Am YEG Arts series: Donita Large

Donita Large is a Cree singer-songwriter whose powerful stories and beautiful melodies pack an emotional punch. With a passion for singing that started at an early age ��� having been immersed in Métis, country, and gospel music all her life – Donita started out singing at funerals and weddings in her community of Saddle Lake First Nation, AB. Understanding how music can be a powerful tool in healing, during the pandemic she took the plunge into releasing her own songs. A year and a half later, Donita has released three original songs, hitting number one on the Indigenous Music Countdown, and she shows no signs of slowing down.  

This week’s “I Am YEG Arts” story focuses on Donita Large.  

Tell us a little bit about your connection to Edmonton and what keeps you living and working here. 

I grew up in my community of Saddle Lake First Nation. I finished high school, and I came to the city for post-secondary, like many people do. And once I landed here, I started to get connected with the Indigenous community here. I think once you lay your roots someplace and you start getting involved in community it's harder to leave. I really love the music community in Edmonton. It's very dynamic and there's so many amazing artists, so it's pretty easy to stay. 

What drew you to music as a creative outlet, and what guides or informs the music that you make? 

That is a really big question. I have a very musical family back home in northeastern Alberta – in Saddle Lake, but also Moose Mountain where my mom's side of the family is. I grew up listening to my uncles play fiddle and guitar, and so for me, music was just a part of life. It wasn't like I chose it. I can't imagine having grown up without music.  

When I came to the city, I didn't have those connections right away, and so I started to reach out to different organizations and places. What really got me going was when I started jamming, playing ukulele and just getting together and having some fun, trying out some new things. And it got me writing music as well. I had only written one song at that point, and I don't know how other songwriters are, but I think there's a bit of imposter syndrome. Like, can I really write? Is this something that I can do? and you kind of limit yourself. So, I started to write more music and that inspired me to focus on creating more music.  

And then it became, well, what am I going to write about? What's the focus? What got me writing originals is that I really wanted to write songs that honored my ancestors, and honored the stories that I think people are just starting to hear, and some of the stories that are just starting to be told. Some [songs] have that Indigenous inspired sound and some are specific to things that are in my heart and in my mind around reconciliation and around the stories that I just feel like it's a good time to tell. 

In what ways does your Indigenous heritage influence your art? 

I think it influences everything. It's not something I feel like I can separate in any way. It's just who I am and that's my experience in this world. One of my songs, “Reconciliation Sky” honours residential school survivors; those who went to residential school and didn't come home, and those who went and had the experiences they had at residential school. I have many people in my family who went to residential school, including my father. And so, I felt it was an important story.  

The very first song that I wrote – it's not the first song I released – but the first song I wrote was called “Ancestors in my Bones”. It was just something I felt. I pulled over on the side of the road and wrote these lyrics, and it was something that I felt like I just needed to sing.  

And while jamming with a group of ladies, the song that came out was a song about women's empowerment. Having gone through unhealthy relationships in my past and thinking about that story, I wrote a song called “Going to Walk that Line” about creating healthy boundaries and feeling really good about what I'm going to accept in my life and what I'm not going to accept. All of those pieces are influenced by who I am as an Indigenous person. 

As a storyteller, what narratives or inspiration do you find yourself returning to in your songs? 

Being a mother, I contemplate what messages I want to put out in the world because I know that music and words have power. Knowing that my daughter is going to be singing along and hearing these songs, that impacts the words that I say. But also, as much as I want to tell the stories of our experiences, whether it be hurt or intergenerational trauma, I also want to tell stories of hope or healing.  

One of the songs that I wrote that I haven't released – it'll be a part of what the work that I’ll be doing this year – is called “Sweetgrass”, and it's a really beautiful healing song. It makes people feel good when they hear it, and if I can sing a song that allows people to feel really grounded, connected, and happy in their heart to hear it, that makes me feel good about the music I'm putting out in the world.  

But to balance it, I also wrote a song that has a lot of angst in it. It's a really heavy, hard rock song that hasn't come out yet. I'm kind of all over the map when it comes to genres because I really love all different kinds of sounds. I think that at the end of the day, a lot of it just has to do with my own experiences of wanting to share a story and also do some education through my lyrics.  

Tell us more about your new song “Reconciliation Sky” and your experience working with mentor/producer Chris Birkett. 

I had the privilege of getting to meet Chris [Birkett] when I was looking for a producer to do “Ancestors in my Bones”. When I first wrote the song, I'd been performing it with a drum or a rattle and I was trying to figure out how to get a sound for the recording with more of a “World Rock” feeling to it. I was able to connect with the music publisher Eric Alper and I said, look, this song would be the kind of song that someone like Buffy Sainte-Marie would appreciate. He told me Buffy doesn't produce her stuff anymore; she's at a time in her life where she gets other people to do that work. Then he asked, “would you like to meet her producer?” And I was like, that sounds like a great idea! I was so surprised that I asked a question, and here I was being introduced to Chris.  

We connected on Zoom because he lives in Toronto. He was so humble, and he's got a spiritual, cool vibe and it was so easy to talk to him. And then I sent him my song and he loved it. He did the producing for that first song.  

I was able to get a grant through the Edmonton Arts Council to go to Toronto and be mentored by Chris for a week. And during our time together, we wrote four songs together and “Reconciliation Sky” was one of those songs. 

It was interesting because when you work with somebody where energies connect, things flow really easily. I told Chris that I felt it was really important at this time that I tell this story. I want to find a way to be able to talk about and honour the 215 that started in Kamloops with the unmarked graves, and how that story is continuing across Canada. You know that story hasn't ended. And I think because it's not in the media, I'm not sure how many people are really aware of how many residential schools are still recovering family members. I thought that was an important story to tell.  

Thinking about how to tell that story, Chris and I were talking and he said, “I have this really beautiful lullaby that I used to sing my son that I wrote for him. And I have this melody. Do you want to hear it?” And I said sure. He played it for me, and I was like, that's the sound. The lullaby piece is so fitting because in my second verse I acknowledge the mothers didn't have a chance to sing those lullabies because their children were at residential school. 

What advice would you like to share with emerging artists? 

I think part of it is that you can’t wait for people to make it happen for you. Regardless of what medium you're in, it's important to make connections and to ask those questions and get out there. And know that there's going to be times that you're not going to know what you're doing. There were times when I was trying to figure out how to release music. I was like, this is so beyond me and I had to reach out to people in the industry. I have a cousin who had released music in Saskatchewan and he was doing really well so I reached out to him and I'm like, hey, how do I do this? He gave me tips, and then I started reaching out to a mentor and he would give me tips. The more that I asked questions, the more people were helping. Sometimes people won't help, for whatever reason, and that's OK. But there's lots of people who do want to help, and I think the hard part is to stay on top of it; you’ve got to stay engaged. There's a lot of work involved. It's not something that just magically happens. 

Tell us about what you're currently working on and what you hope to explore next. 

Well, I have some shows booked, I'm doing shows with my guitar player Anthony King. Anthony King is the lead guitar player for Buffy Sainte-Marie, and he happened to move to Edmonton. I'm very grateful he's here. And then also I have a band – Donita Large and the Small Band.  I've done some festivals and different shows and I'm hoping to hit more stages.  

My daughter is also doing a show with us in March. She'll be doing some pow wow dancing/ fancy dancing for the SkirtsAfire Festival, as a part of our show Nikâwiy, meaning ‘my mother’ in Cree. I'm with the Indigenous women's group called Nîpisîy (Nîpisîy meaning ‘willow’ in Cree) along with Sherryl Sewepegaham, Debbie Houle and Cindy Paul.  

And I've decided that I want to finish an album. At this point I've released three singles, and I’ve decided that this is the year that I want to focus on getting an album together and getting that out. I'll be working with Chris Birkett again, and hopefully either going to Toronto or having him come here.  

What excites you most about the Edmonton art scene right now? 

When I think about what exists in Edmonton there's so much dynamic art that is happening in so many different areas. For example, prior to Christmas the Indigenous Artist Market had done shows and I got to sing at three different weekends. Just to walk through and see like 30 Indigenous artist vendors – that didn’t exist before. It used to be harder to find beadwork or mukluks that were made here. To have so much available, to me, that's one way people have come together.  

When it comes to music, you can go find live music – amazing live music – any night of the week. It's really a matter of how much time you have and whether you can make that work. But there's just so many amazing musicians and so many different genres that are represented. And it feels like it's a very welcoming community. I think the opportunities that are presented now, especially for young people if they choose to get into art, there's so much more support and there's so much more opportunity than there ever was before.

Tyrrish Men Headcanons you didn't ask for

Getting ready to post the first chapter of 'Drifted' this week and I've just been headcanoning (is this a word, lol) what Bodhi would be like in a relationship. Knowing he's brothers related to Xaden and a Tyr I think he'd be similar and, in some cases, worse than Xaden haha. I'm listing them out and trying not to give too much away for when I publish 'Drifted' but maybe this will entice you to read it lol

Bodhi in Relationships

Like Xaden, Would 100% have pet names for his S/O, but It would be in Tyrrsih and not the common language. I can absolutely see this man calling you ' my darling' or ' my lover'. We love a sweet with a lil possessive mix man, don't we? Even if you had a 'violence' like nickname, it would still be in Tyrrish.

This man is unbelievably patient. You would set the pace for the relationship; he would be at your sides through any trauma you may have or face. He's really observant of emotional cues and just knows the right thing to say and when. He's the Voice of Reason for the revolution and would probably be your voice of reason too. He is not the person to share reckless ideas with.

Unlike Xaden he's not secretive, but he's boundaried, which may read the same to some, I think differently. I don't see him lying or omitting stuff but would say. "I wish I could tell you more, but I can't. I know that isn't what you want to hear right now."

Would absolutely be about PDA. Unlike Xaden who's more behind closed doors in most cases, Bodhi would be public about it. Discrete, but public. Examples would be standing next to you in Battle Brief and touching shoulders, would give a gift or two in public, or put a hand on your knee if you were sitting next to eachother. I do think if he was around very close friends or people he trusted he may get a little handsy.

Which leads me to, he's an ass man. He would 100% take a pinch or a handful when walking past you but would do with such subliminalness no one would even notice he did it but you. And, because he's a fucking angel, no one would believe you.

I think there is a cultural thing that Tyrrish men are mostly tall, built, handsome and a little egotistical about it (I explore this theory HEAVILY in 'Drifted') so I think he was made aware growing up that he was handsome and is a bit of a charmer. I don't think its to a Xaden Garrick level (literally peacocks in human form), but he knows he fine and uses it to fluster you sometimes.

Also my made up cultural thing about Tyrrish folk is they go HARD for their partners. They are all in, fly or die, you jump I jump etc. Which is why I think that Bodhi's "Who hurt you" moment would be 10 times worse than Xaden. Like, if someone hurt his S/O and he found out...He would display such vengeance it would probably scare Xaden. In fact, he'd probably make sure Bodhi would be the last person to find out his S/O got hurt.

I think Bodhi has equal parts trauma as Xaden does and it comes out in his relationships. So their partner needs to prepare for that.

Just my thoughts, what do y'all think? Also, check out Drifted when its out.

( The final countdown )

Gudjón no tenía intención de pujar por nada (lo cierto es que nunca antes había asistido a una subasta, ni benéfica ni de ningún tipo), lo que lo había atraído de aquel evento era precisamente a la persona que iba dedicada. Por supuesto que extrañaba a Carlos y a Thien, además de Chandra que seguía ausente sin un paradero confirmado al que ir a buscarla... Pero Jane, Jane no solo había sido su compañera de clan sino la madre de todos ellos. Aquella gala no le haría justicia, no demostraría lo mucho que se la extrañaba, pero era un paso para mantener de algún modo su recuerdo entre ellos. -La echo de menos. Dijo a modo de recibida de la persona, ya fuera física o bien hubiera iniciado una conexión debido a la melancolía.

-No solo hoy, ni solo ahora, ni solo en esta gala... Quizás no eran muy dados a hablar de ella o a sacar el tema, pero estaba seguro de que todos la llevaban en su corazón así como sentían la ausencia de su voz, una voz que había estado fuertemente unida (y no solo a ellos, sino a los clanes que había despertado). Suspiró y movió la cabeza, desviando la mirada de la nada a la persona que tenía a su lado. -¿Qué crees que podrá ser lo que nos quiera decir su padre? Era John Bates los que los había atraído hasta esa gala... Y no precisamente con la intención de rememorar a Jane, sino a contar algo que de momento no sabían lo que era.

PRONTUARIO DE GABINETE *Caricatura digital: Andrés Casciani (2019) - Texto: Eddy Whopper Sección: "PARTÍCIPES NECESARIOS" Hoy: Santiago DEL MORO Nombre completo: Santiago Pascual DEL MORO Fecha de nacimiento: 9 de febrero de 1978 La sensación de superficialidad aséptica que transmite Santiago del Moro fue sumamente aprovechada por los programadores de la acción de marketing comunicacional macrista, para llevar a cabo sus fines de penetración sugestiva. El público lo conoció a los 20 años, a fines de la década de 1990, como conductor de programas para adolescentes en la filial de la canadiense MuchMusic, una señal de televisión por cable dedicada a la difusión de música comercial con arraigo en la banalidad y en la omisión explícita de todo aquello que importe alguna forma de compromiso -siquiera mínima- con cualquier sistema de ideas. Los programas en los que participó recibieron nombres decididamente exentos de vinculación con lo esencial, aunque claramente amigables con lo invisible: "Flow", "Countdown", "De Cerca" (cuya más recordada emisión fue protagonizada por el grupo para niños y post-púberes Erreway). Con posterioridad, Santiago se dedicó al mismo cotilleo de la farándula vernácula que en su tiempo habían menudeado la Tía Valentina del programa "Buenas Tardes, Mucho Gusto"; el chimentero Luis Pedro Toni, mención obligada en los magazines del tirano popular y chabacano intencional oneroso Gerardo Sofovich; el correveidile uruguayo y vespertino Lucho Avilés, creador del tanque gerontológico "Indiscreciones"; y el entonces pasatista Jorge Rial, quien, antes de ser contratado por el duhaldismo, refería únicamente liviandades del entorno TV al estilo desvergonzado, de falsa estudiantina y abultada carga de excesos de la noche empresaria que perfilaron los primeros años de adolescencia tardía e irresponsable de "Videomatch". Acumuladas sus performances de líder insustancial en los vanos "Infama" e "Intratables" –que abarcaron, sumados y aun superpuestos, una década entera- Del Moro fue seleccionado por el macrismo para acentuar la difusión del prototipo de un nuevo vecino que, desde la franqueza del “buen ignorante”, decidía dar la espalda a las creaciones de un sentido común “intoxicado por la política” y poner en valor las verdades sencillas de una clase media “laburante” e “indignada”. Intratables, un tinglado de habladurías sobre la comedia local, fue precisamente el espacio elegido por los especialistas en comunicación del macrismo para exponer una interpelación deslenguada a la comunidad política, desde la mediocridad revalorizada. Ninguno de los “panelistas” de Intratables tenía especial versación sobre alguna cosa; como correlato, ninguna de las batallas verbales que a los gritos se prodigaban aquellos ganapanes, administradas desde la pureza racial por Santiago, aportaba objetivamente más elementos que una pelea cualquiera entre compadres rústicos o comadronas exaltadas. Prendidos al vértigo del “minuto a minuto”, operadores pagos y más o menos psicópatas dictaban instrucciones a los participantes a través de las “cucarachas” –pequeños micrófonos insertados violenta y directamente en el canal auricular del provocador- y así, en el fragor de la batahola iracunda, toda verdad quedaba relativizada, a favor de la profundización de las distancias entre el "kirchnerismo corrupto" y el "cambio honesto". Este sostén conventillero, estetizado para imitar los niveles que la clase media cree que tienen las licencias orgiásticas de los ricos, fue ávidamente consumido por un público que aceptó la propia extinción de su capacidad crítica y que, además, generó canales de identificación con las pobrezas objetivas de los planteos propuestos por el asalariado Del Moro. El pico máximo de esta tarea de efectividad, ya directamente programado como un acto de genuflexión sugestiva, se dio cuando, en “emisión especial”, entrevistó al presidente Macri el día 9 de agosto de 2017, pocos días antes de las primeras (y últimas) elecciones de medio término que afrontaría el gobierno triunfante en 2015. Especialmente limpísimo, Santiago fue utilizado a cambio de un pago para ocultar con enlucido de trivialidades el daño generado por el proyecto neoliberal, y también para enaltecer la figura de Mauricio Macri desde un mangrullo insípido aunque puramente emocional. Allí, Del Moro desplegó la misma hipocresía gestual y las mismas sonrisas defensivas en contexto de vacío discursivo que cada mensual de clase media histrioniza cuando habla con su jefe. La táctica neoliberal apuntaba, esta vez, al naturalismo degradante. “Cristina no tenía en su cabeza entregar el mando”, mintió Mauricio en aquella ocasión, para la ciudad y el mundo. “Porque tiene un problema psicológico”, continuó. “Ella debe creer que todavía tiene el mando de la Argentina”. Santiago, impecable, asentía como nuestro mejor sobrino. Mientras, Macri auguraba: “El país va a crecer más el año que viene [2018], porque mucha gente va a apostar por nuestro futuro y va a venir y va crear más empleo”. Cuatro meses después de montarse en aquel tinglado, Santiago del Moro convino cuarteles de invierno con sus empleadores. Regenteado por la empresa Telefé, el poder real agradeció los servicios prestados ordenándole conducir un espacio en el que la misma clase media a la que él contribuyó a embrutecer alimenta su vulgar sueño ancestral de ganar rápidamente mucho dinero. Allí, Del Moro, un adulto de ya cuatro décadas, biencasado y papi de dos soles, despliega un sainete de falso lujo en el que, de a uno, de a dos o de a tres, exponentes arquetípicos del vecino de al lado juegan a validar su pobreza cultural. En “¿Quién quiere ser millonario?”, el programa de preguntas y respuestas a que se aficionó la clase media macrista en el último tramo del gobierno de su idolatrado, Santiago recibió la misión de sustituir las lecciones de sabiduría por manifestaciones de un "canto a la vida" lelo y aceptante de las relaciones de explotación, diluidas bajo el velo de las mismas ilusiones ingenuas que nuestros bisabuelos ponían en la carrera de los hijos o en la lotería. La emisión es, también, una exposición validante de paradigmas de la tosquedad que opera como canal informal de control social. Podría quizás aventurarse que, en la lograda cadena de éxitos procurada por el macrismo –que contaba como objetivo alcanzado cada individual exterminio del criterio- Santiago del Moro fue objeto de proyección de lo que la clase media degradada quiso para sus hijos. Su figura y sus licencias de honestidad iletrada continúan aportando la misma deseada máscara hiperbólica que cada pequeño empleado o cuentapropista aspira a reconocer en su prole, la misma corrección forzada y pueril que cada oficinista ejerce para ignorar y hacer ignorar la dinámica de la explotación, el mismo brillo infantil que infunde seducción a la mentira y la misma sugerida perversión polimorfa que Freud postulaba acerca de los niños. *Galería completa: https://prontuariodegabinete.blogspot.com/

.the final countdown

@marloslanbek​

Acababan de llegar al local en el que se celebraba la fiesta y, antes de entrar, Brie le pidió a Marlo un momento para fumarse un cigarro. Aunque lo cierto es que no era por el hecho de fumar sino porque había algo que la tenía un poco preocupada y quería expresarlo antes de meterse en el bullicio y no poder hablar por culpa de la música. - ¿Quieres? - le ofreció por cortesía acercándole la cajetilla antes de coger uno para ella misma. - Oye, que estaba pensando... - ese era precisamente su problema siempre: pensar. O mejor dicho, pensar demasiado. Pero, ¿qué iba a hacer? - ¿No crees que deberíamos haber ido a la gala? ¿Nos arrepentiremos luego? - ella personalmente había decidido pasar esa noche alejada de todo lo que tuviera que ver con ser sensate, excepto de Marlo, claro. A ella la había invitado adrede, aunque no en calidad de miembro de su clan sino de amiga. - Por alguna razón siento que deberíamos estar allí. Aunque al mismo tiempo quiero terminar el año como una persona normal... y no como sensate. Ni metida en ningún lío que no me he buscado. O agobiada.

Un paso enorme

@carryon-countdown

........................................................................................................................................................................

Veían una película, acurrucadas sobre el sillón, cuando Simone dijo una frase que daba miedo.

—Deberíamos tener un bebé.

Baz dejó caer las palomitas que se estaba llevando a la boca. Las mejillas le ardían. Ella no podía hablar en serio.

—¿Te volviste loca, Snow? No podemos hacernos cargo de un bebé. Ni siquiera hemos terminado la Universidad.

Simone se río y le sacó la lengua a su novia. Por Dios, a veces Baz se tomaba las cosas demasiado en serio.

—Me expresé mal —reconoció— pero he estado pensando: ¿Y si adoptamos un gatito?

Era un concepto diferente y sonaba mejor, suspiró aliviada.

—Eso es muy dulce. Pero…¿Ya pensaste en todo lo que implica?

Sabía que sonaba más como su madre que su novia. Baz tenía que, la vida de un animalito no puede tomarse a la ligera. Snow era una buena chica, la mejor de todas pero a veces era un poco descuidada consigo misma y le daba miedo que sucediera lo mismo con su futura mascota.

—Si, me voy a hacer responsable. Lo juro. —respondió con una voz segura y firme.

—Está bien, de todos modos yo también voy a ayudar. ¿Cierto?—dice levantando una ceja—¿Qué piensa Percy al respecto?

—Fue él quien lo sugirió, piensa que puede ser bueno para mi. Para ambas

Las dos chicas estaban sonriendo. Adoptar una mascota juntas podría parecer insignificante. Para ellas se sentía como un paso enorme que las llenaba de un sentimiento cálido.

—Si los tres estamos de acuerdo, no veo porque razón no habríamos de hacerlo—dijo con una sonrisa en sus labios pintados de rojo.

Simone soltó una risa y aplaudió de felicidad. Le emocionaba mucho poder compartir algo tan bonito con Baz. Se acercó a ella y la abrazó con fuerza.

—Empezaré a buscar por los albergues para encontrar a nuestro futura bebé.

Con esa última frase, volvieron a caer en el cómodo silencio de una tarde de películas.

......................................................................................................................................................................

Estaba en la cafetería, ayudando con una orden de americanos para una oficina, cuando recibió un mensaje de Baz que le dio un vuelco en el corazón.

"Creo que finalmente conseguí una gatita ideal, ven a casa directo del trabajo ;) "

Simone casi deja caer el vaso de cartón con café caliente. Tuvo que morderse el labio para evitar gritar de la emoción. Apenas y pudo concentrarse durante el resto de su horario en la cafetería. En cuanto el reloj marcó su hora de salida, salió corriendo como alma que lleva el diablo.

—¡LLEGUÉ!—gritó cuando cruzó la puerta.

—Ven a la habitación —dijo una voz lejana.

No se esperaba lo que encontró en la habitación que compartían: Su novia sentada sobre la cama, siendo hermosa como siempre. El detalle era que, sobre su preciosa cabellera de ébano, estaba usando una diadema. Además, tenía una pequeña nariz gatuna pintada sobre la suya propia. E incluso su sonrisa era felina.

—¿Que? Creí que ya estaba aquí... —dijo la chica, confundida y sin entender lo que pasaba.

—¿No crees que soy una linda gatita?

Simone se rió, aunque aún no entendía lo que pasaba,

—Siempre eres bonita Baz, pero… pensé que íbamos a buscar un animalito, con pelo suave y cuatro patas, bigotes. Ya sabes.

La mencionada se levantó de la cama, riendo, y llegó hasta donde Simone se había quedado helada y con una mano sobre la puerta. La rodeó con sus brazos, era mucho más bajita que ella. Dejó un beso sobre los suaves rizos color caramelo.

—Lo lamento, Simone. Sólo estaba bromeando, que encontré esta diadema que Mor me dió como regalo— señaló su cabeza.

—No tienes que disculparte—acarició uno de los brazos de la chica y le sonrió— Pero entonces… ¿Aún no encuentras nada?

Baz levantó una ceja y le sonrió con superioridad.

—Yo no dije eso… en realidad, podremos pasar al albergue mañana mismo.

—¡¿De verdad?!

—Si, me mandaron fotos ¿Quieres verlas?

—¡Si! — dijo separándose y dando saltitos en su lugar. La otra chica aprovechó para sacar su teléfono de su bolsa.

—Ven, vamos a la sala y te las muestro allí.

Se sentaron en el sillón, Simone sobre el regazo de Baz. Veían las fotos que el albergue le había enviado a Baz. Era una gatita carey, pequeña y un poco flaca pero con una carita muy dulce.

—Es una niña, tiene sólo un par de meses.

—Me gusta, ¿Cómo la escogiste?

—Bueno.. es por su pelaje. Me recuerda a tu cabello—Las mejillas de Baz tomaron un tono rosa—mezclado con el mio.

—¡Eres tan cursi! Te amo, Baz.

—¡Déjame en paz, Snow!

Simone sonrió y atacó los labios de su chica.

.............................................................................................................................................................................

Al día siguiente ambas fueron, tomadas de la mano, a recoger a la pequeña gata. En cuanto Simone la tomó en sus brazos, comenzó a ronronear con fuerza.

Fue amor al primer ronroneo.
