Tumblr media
— part four.
series genre romance, angst, smut, fantasy mafia! au
summary in your family, being married and giving an heir to a certain man you’re married to is a must. after zhongli lost his wife guizhong — he was devastated. but there’s no time in wasting to find another woman who shall be his wife, and you were chosen.

word count 1.5k
notes + at the end this is a reupload!!! since this app wanna act up… epilogue soon :)
one | two | three | four ( you’re here )
Tumblr media
You haven’t seen Zhongli much after the incident in the dining room a few days ago. Even if you bump into him, you doubt he would notice you.
“Madam Y/N?” A maid knocked on the door, and you told her to come in. She bowed as she entered. “Breakfast is ready.”
You nodded, thanking her before following her to the dining room, and to your surprise, Zhongli was there drinking tea.
But he didn’t acknowledge you.
It only took moments before he got up and went to his office, much to your disappointment.
He was so confusing.
Tumblr media
Lately, you’ve been feeling tired even though you were only always lonely and bored in the mansion, and you’ve been feeling nauseous.
If you were pregnant, you were scared about what Zhongli’s reaction would be. He’ll be glad you finally gave him an heir...
But what about you?
You cursed your family for requiring you to be in an arranged marriage. Because now you were in love with a man who won’t love you back.
“Madam, you called for me?” Arya, one of your trusted maids, showed up in front of your room in no time.
“Yes. Can you keep this a secret, please?” When she nodded, you continued. “Buy me a few pregnancy tests.” She was surprised for a moment but nodded in understanding nonetheless.
“Of course, Madam.” She bowed when you thanked her before walking away, and you sighed as you closed the door.
“And if I am pregnant,” You whispered, looking down at your stomach, “What would I name you?” You scoffed, “Or would Rex Lapis name you instead?”
After Arya bought you pregnancy tests, you went to the bathroom to test them and waited for the results, and you were right.
You were pregnant.
You were elated, finally having a child, but you weren’t happy with your marriage.
Sighing, you walked by the window and noticed a letter sitting there. It was unsettling because there wasn’t any sign of who it was from. Slowly, you opened the letter, and you gasped.
‘Now, you shall perish.’ Written in blood.
“Don’t move.”
Your breath hitched when you sensed someone behind you, “W-Who… How—”
“Don’t speak. Just come with me.”
The person covered your mouth with a cloth, and you lost consciousness.
Tumblr media
“What’s up with you these days?”
Xiao’s voice interrupted Zhongli’s thoughts. “…Hm?”
“You’ve been acting… weird.” He crossed his arms. “Is there something wrong?”
“I’d rather not talk about it. It’s not that big of a deal.”
The Yaksha was worried, but he just shrugged it off. “All right. Also, there are still no reports about your superior’s death. We’ve been investigating it for so long…Tch.”
Zhongli sighed, “We just need to try our hardest.”
A few moments later, Ganyu came bursting through the door. “Mr. Zhongli! Madam Y/N is missing! And she has received a suspicious letter… There isn’t any sign of who it’s from!”
“What?” Ganyu gave him the letter, and when he opened it, his eyes widened.
Immediately, he ordered Xiao, Ganyu, and the Millelith — “Find my wife. Now.”
Tumblr media
“I told you to kill her, not bring her here…! Have you fucking lost your mind?!”
“I-I’m sorry… I couldn’t bring myself to!”
You slowly gained consciousness. It took a few seconds to realize your hands were tied up as you lay on the ground of an empty warehouse.
“You’re finally awake.” You recognized that voice, Raiden Shogun!
You looked up at her, glaring. “Zhongli will fucking kill you. He’ll come to find me.” You didn’t know why you said that. It slipped out of your mouth.
But you knew he wouldn’t come to find you.
“Oh? When he does come to find you, he’ll also see the woman he actually loves.”
Your eyebrows furrowed. “W-what?” As if on cue, a woman came up behind Raiden.
Lady Guizhong. Zhongli’s former wife, she’s alive?
She gave you a pitiful look, and you looked back at Raiden, a disturbing smile forming on her face. “She’s not dead. She killed Morax’s superior for her beloved husband to be the leader.”
Oh my God.
You were overwhelmed. It was slowly making sense. Raiden Shogun had probably planned this for so long — Lady Guizhong had killed Zhongli’s superior for Zhongli to be the leader, and Raiden Shogun somehow found out who the killer of his superior was, then used her in her plan.
But what would happen to Lady Guizhong now?
“Didn’t I tell you to count your days, Y/N? I’m gonna get rid of you.” Raiden Shogun pointed her gun at you, and you closed your eyes, your heart pounding so loud that you could almost hear it.
‘I’m sorry, my future child.’
You waited for the gunshot, but then Raiden hummed. “Or what if… Guizhong just kills you instead? Wouldn’t that be so fucked up?” She let out a laugh.
You opened your eyes immediately, and Lady Guizhong shook her head. “N-No please, I can’t—”
“I’m ordering you. Kill your former husband’s current wife.”
Guizhong sobbed as Raiden pushed her gun into her hands, and she looked at you. “I’m sorry.”
Suddenly, you heard gunshots outside the empty warehouse.
“How?!” Raiden Shogun angrily exclaimed, and Guizhong took the opportunity to remove the rope tied up around your wrists as soon as the Millelith crashed into the place, shooting Raiden’s soldiers.
“I left the letter you received in your room on purpose so there was evidence you were kidnapped, and I hoped they could come and save you.” Guizhong flashed a sad smile, “I’m sorry once again.”
“Raiden Shogun. I knew you were suspicious ever since you visited Liyue.”
Zhongli… He came.
He ran towards you but slowly stopped once he saw Guizhong.
“You… You’re alive…?”
Guizhong shook her head, “I’m sorry. Please. Save Y/N and forget about me.” He stared at her in shock.
“Ah, my plan is all ruined!” Raiden Shogun spoke up, holding a tachi in her hand. “Guizhong killed your superior for you to become the new leader, Morax. She deserves to perish, doesn’t she?”
Slash!
And just like that, Guizhong was dead. Zhongli’s breath hitched.
Tears formed in your eyes as you grabbed the gun Guizhong was holding and pointed it at Raiden Shogun. You shot her in the shoulder as she cried out in pain. “You…!”
Zhongli immediately grabbed your hand and pulled you towards the door to escape, but you felt Raiden’s sword slashing your back, making you groan and fall. He looked back furiously to shoot her, but she managed to flee the warehouse.
“Go! I’ll take care of this!” Xiao yelled out as he shot Raiden’s soldiers. Zhongli picked you up, starting to panic when he saw you losing consciousness as he ran out of the warehouse. Ganyu then showed up and helped Zhongli carry you.
“Y/N... Live. Please.”
That was the last thing you heard from him before you passed out.
Tumblr media
You opened your eyes slowly, attempting to get up, but it hurt like hell. “Ow!”
“Finally.” You heard someone say, then saw Zhongli giving you a small smile. “Don’t try to get up yet. You’re still not well.”
You slowly sat up and looked away from him, making him frown.
Didn’t he tell you to fuck off because you aren’t his real wife? Why is he here?
“Um…” You started, “How did you know where I was?”
“You received a threat, right? Then you went missing. I immediately ordered Xiao to do everything he can to find you. The first person who came to mind is Raiden Shogun, who’s been suspicious ever since she visited Liyue. I was right.” He sighed, “And I was scared… You’d be dead as soon as we got there. I’m glad you weren’t.”
You huffed, “Why would you be scared?”
“Because… I love you.” You looked at him, surprised at his sudden confession. “After Guizhong ‘died’, I was scared of falling in love again. That’s why I said those foolish things and started avoiding you because I realized I was falling in love with you. I’m sorry for that.” Zhongli held your hand, “But trust me, I do love you.”
“Really?”
“Yes.” He said, “Fuck the contract. I’m willing to break the contract for you. Only you.”
You swallowed a lump in your throat. “How do I know you’re not lying?”
“I’ll prove it to you. I’ll do anything. Please.” Zhongli — Rex Lapis got on his knees, looking up at you as his hands clasped yours tightly. “I beg of you, believe me when I say I love you.”
Take the risk or lose the chance.
Because even after all the unfortunate events, you still loved him.
You sobbed, pulling him up to his feet and hugging him. “I believe you.”
“We still have a long way to go,” He kissed your forehead, and you saw tears in his eyes as he looked down at your stomach. “We’ll take care of this little one, too.”
“You knew?”
He intertwined his hand with yours. “I saw the test before we came to find you. Thankfully after the incident, our baby is fine. You’re so strong.”
You smiled, and it quickly faltered when you remembered the previous events. “What happened to Raiden Shogun?”
His face suddenly turned serious. “She managed to escape after attacking you, which is unfortunate. Fear not, I made sure you’re completely protected and no one is taking you away from me now. I won’t allow it.”
You laughed. “Noted.”

Sono donna anche oggi, anche se non è l'8 marzo e nessuno mi porta una mimosa.
Sono donna anche oggi, che non ho nessuna serata in discoteca con uomini nudi che dovrebbero farmi divertire ballando e invece, poveretti, mi fanno solo pena...loro e chi ci va quel maledetto 8 marzo.
Sono donna ogni giorno, quando mi alzo e ho la forza di dire ''tocca a me'', senza nessuno che mi impone qualcosa o senza obblighi legati ad ormai morte tradizioni ed usanze.
Mi piace essere donna, non sono una femminista sfegatata che difende ad ogni costo e ad oltranza il mio genere, perché le stronzate le facciamo anche noi e non siamo sante, almeno io aureole in testa non ne vedo proprio a nessuno, ma mi piace la mattina pettinarmi i capelli, mettere il mascara e perdere quegli intramontabili venti minuti davanti ad un armadio, sempre pieno di cose che a me in quel preciso istante non piaceranno.
Mi piace essere donna, perché in quel lontano 1907 e poi 1909 e infine in quel 1910 qualcuno finalmente capì che anche io ho un pensiero, e posso renderlo libero come ogni altro maschietto del tempo stava facendo; mi piace essere donna perché mi piace esser come tutti gli altri, in fondo cosa cambia?
Al posto di averle in basso due palle, le ho appiccicate sul petto.
Non voglio dire frasi e luoghi comuni come "grazie a noi avete i vostri figli, uomini", perché a riguardo nessuno ha un merito superiore, perché se qualcuno ci ha creati entrambi siamo complementari e non subordinati.
Se qualcuno ha lottato per una parità di diritti, se esiste questa benedettissima uguaglianza voglio lottare e conquistarla ogni giorno, voglio esser donna anche quando le cose si metton male e c'è da rimboccarsi le maniche, voglio esser donna quando c'è da lavorare anche se non si tratta di gonna sexy ma di una tuta grigia e sporca di nero a fine giornata, voglio essere donna e voglio combattere tenacemente in una società "evoluta" e dinamica, in una società dal libero pensiero e dalla mentalità aperta che ancora boicotta l'espressione di ogni genere e di tutti i generi.
"Dichiarazione universale dei diritti umani" e "Dichiarazione dei diritti umani di Vienna", 1945 prima e 1993 poi... vi dice nulla? A me sì, e dice che se io voglio studiare, laurearmi e lavorare in un'azienda e starne a capo, posso farlo perché ho la stessa brama, grinta e forza che avrebbe il mio collega dalle palle attaccate in basso che il colloquio non lo ha superato. Mi dice anche che la mia mansione non è esclusivamente accudire i figli e sfornare lasagne e torte al cioccolato per il mio amato maritino che, povero, al rientro dal suo faticoso lavoro deve trovare qualcosa in tavola e il figlio che già dorme, pulito e profumato. No. Non sono una serva, una schiava, un'allevatrice e macchina di procreazione. Gli antichi romani si sono estinti e siamo nel ventunesimo secolo.
Io sono donna e ho diritto di vivere, io sono donna e ho diritto, io sono donna, io sono. Io. Quell' "io" promotore di soggettività, indipendenza ed esistenza. Non esiste moralmente, eticamente, metaforicamente (chi più ne ha, più ne metta) UOMO e DONNA, esiste io. E quest'ultimo devo ogni giorno, ora, minuto confermarlo senza che altri io prendano il sopravvento.
Io sono donna anche oggi, che non è l'8 marzo, ma in ogni attimo della mia esistenza pretendo reciproco rispetto e fedeltà, detengo la mia dignità e manipolo senza vincoli i fili di un burattino chiamato Vita.

Sono molto soddisfatta e felice. Sto portando due dei miei migliori amici a Parigi per lavorare qui a Disneyland. Attualmente le posizioni per qualsiasi mansione sono aperte [dopo la carenza di personale post covid] e chiunque conosca 2 o 3 lingue ( Francese obbligatorio) sarà ben accolto a lavorare qui previo colloquio direttamente sul posto. Io lo scrivo qui nel caso qualcuno avesse bisogno di lavorare con uno stipendio adeguato e tutti i benefits di questo mondo. Ovvio che non è tutto rose e fiori perchè Parigi è molto cara e quindi bisogna saper amministrare lo stipendio senza spendere e spandere ovunque; con i dovuti accorgimenti entro i primi 2 mesi si può cominciare a vivere discretamente. Ah cosa fondamentale non venite a Parigi se non avete con voi un minimo budget di circa mille euro per affrontare le prime spese finchè non riceverete lo stipendio mensile. Io vi dico subito che per me il primo mese è stato alquanto duretto ed ho voluto farcela senza l'aiuto dei miei, per cui rimbo le maniche cercatevi un lavoretto che vi faccia guadagnare qualcosa prima di partire ed in bocca al lupo. Osiamo ragazzi, osiamo sempre e nel bene e nel male avremmo un'altra esperienza in più che ci farà crescere, se non tentiamo non sapremo mai quali saranno i ns limiti.

So I stayed up ungodly late last night playing through the Cazador quest/conclusion (?) of the Astarion romance and I have a lot of thoughts!
Overall, I LOVED it. Absolutely loved it. I love how much he has to say about the mansion, I love the design and weirdly oppressive layout of the space, the sinister door, the annoying button/attic puzzle, his relationship with Go...dey? The bone man! When I saw that room was called the kennel I literally said "oh no" out loud.
The one thing I'm mad at myself about is that I didn't understand how to actually get into the stupid palace to start the quest! I couldn't get up that dirt incline right next to the map marker so I thought I had to get into the upper city via Baldur's Gate on the left--that the palace was in the next area altogether--so I've been dithering about with murderers and Lae'zel getting kidnapped (D:! she's safe now though) and hag children and a million other things WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLING CAZADOR THIS WHOLE TIME. Harrumph.
Anyway, once I actually made it into the darned palace, I didn't have any trouble at all with the fights until I got to Cazador himself. I did think the ritual skull on the pillow was a nice touch, and I loved the confrontation with Sebastian in the cell, just in case the PC has any doubt left about how sane/human these spawn still are. Seven thousand souls! That's so many!! Seven is a lot, but seven thousand, yikes! There was also one room with some levers at the end of the tedious attic puzzle that appeared to have no purpose; I guess it was unfinished from the design stage, as dozens of Reddit threads/forum posts all agree there's no clear puzzle solution or interactable element. Really, the first design misstep I've seen from the game, and even that was pretty minor!
Then came the confrontation with Cazador, and for all I didn't even get touched in the werewolf fight earlier this fight WRECKED me. I didn't understand the mechanic and got everyone sacrificed for the ritual the first time (was focusing on the adds first), and then the second time I checked the journal and it said "Help Astarion" and so I wasted two turns getting to him only to discover they meant "help Astarion by killing Cazador," not "free Astarion with the Help action" because that sure didn't work, so he got sacrificed again! Then the third time I focused Cazador better until he Called Lightning on Shadowheart and Karlach and killed them both, and then I finally scraped it out on the fourth try. A really, really tough fight! If I didn't have the six summoned ghouls from the Thay book I don't know if I could have done it with this party.
The choices available afterwards are FASCINATING. I played through them all again, and I loved that in every version he absolutely butchers that vamp with as much violent stabbing as I've seen in a video game. And that little flip of the knife to the reverse grip! So deft! He's a rogue! It's like there's thought and care behind these animations!! Incredible! The choices where you don't help him are absolutely awful--the enraged venom in "I'd say good luck out there, but honestly, I hope you die screaming"--and the flat "Your companion has permanently left the party" made my stomach clench. The version where you help him ascend is also horrifying; are there many other quests where both companions are like, "this is a HORRIBLE IDEA, don't do this!!"? And afterwards Karlach said something about "all those souls..." and she looked like she was about to cry, which was the second worst thing in the world aside from the time I had to break up with her because I didn't realize we were dating. Everything is red and evil and we get nice close-up views of the spawn in agony and bursting and then Astarion's eyes glow red as sin forever. I did really like the explicit confirmation that the infected can use the parasites to see out of each other's eyes; that's given me a couple fic ideas already!
I will say the scene of him crying & screaming was unspeakably cathartic and I was yelling at the screen to let me hug him. YELLING. Thank God I live alone! Again, the tenor differences between this scene in the "insight/persuade him to be better than Cazador" track vs. the "flatly deny to help him" track were shocking. I can't believe how different the exact same animation set felt between the two versions! Unbearable relief & grief vs. total impotent despair--no wonder he tries to kill you in a few of the bad endings (on top of deciding on his own to snap the staff & trap the spawn forever).
Regardless, once the ritual was disrupted and the spawn were saved and freed and Cazador was a lolling pincushion, I couldn't figure out how to trigger the follow-up scene I KNEW had to be there, even though I'd already done Shadowheart's personal quest & should have known I needed to long-rest, lmao. I wandered around like a dope for several minutes before finally triggering it.
I really, really liked this romance scene a lot. I liked that there isn't even an option to break up at this point; just like ME3, the romance is locked in and you can just play around inside that structure, which I thought was fantastic! I am sad that it opened with what I expected, which is him resigning himself to eventually being trapped in the darkness & never seeing sunlight again, and the fact that the game let you pick "maybe we'll figure something out with the tadpoles" only for Astarion to express doubt does make me worried for long-term outcomes. My favorite options once you get to the graveyard were to just stay back and let him talk, but I'm honestly really delighted that we got this scene of pretty significant emotional closure for him, and I loved the animation of him carving the year into the headstone. It seemed so immersive & real that even though we can't read the text, we know exactly what he did.
The only incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY minor things I didn't adore about this scene are that first, when he tells you he loves you, his head animation is weirdly still/frozen the whole time on that set of lines despite his expression changing, and it honestly broke my immersion a little bit. The ambient movements of the characters have been so realistic for so many dozens of hours that to have this seriously critical and important moment for the character be almost rigid, especially against a completely silent music-less background, made it stick out as an "oh yeah, this is a video game" reminder. Bummer!
The other thing is that it's icky to have sex in a graveyard, lmao. Tavish doesn't really care because it's just dirt under them--he's literally standing in front of her, so as far as she's concerned it's not that different from the forest--but I did grimace a little. Someone give these dingdongs a bed! or at least a roof!
Anyway! A fantastic romance and super strong writing/consistent characterization throughout, and I'm pumped to see where it's going to go next. I'm still so curious about how the tadpole outcomes will affect things and faintly hoping for a deus ex machina to keep him in the sun, though I suppose that's what fic's for. Regardless, full sign-off on an utterly satisfying romance; so many little things dropped throughout were EXACTLY what I wanted--you can even accuse him of sincerity in the graveyard scene, which is precisely the arc I was hoping he'd have! He didn't even like you in the beginning and now we're smooching next to a bunch of dead people. What isn't romantic about that?
10/10 Larian, thanks for making me a mess for another white-haired grump.

Aggiornamenti degli ultimi giorni. Ho lavorato martedì e ieri, oggi sono di riposo e poi lavoro venerdì, sabato e domenica. È un po' uno sclero, perché ci sono mille cose da sapere e da fare, sto in piedi 8 ore di fila correndo come una trottola ma mi piace avere a che fare con le persone. I colleghi sono fantastici, anche se a quanto pare ne ho conosciuti metà di quelli che ci sono. Mi aiutano un sacco e si vede che sono una grande famiglia, nel giro di 2 gg sono già riusciti a farmi sentire a casa.
Adoro fare apertura, perché lavori prima dell'apertura effettiva per un po' di ore e alla fine lavori chiacchierando con gli altri. Ieri ho fatto apertura con 3 veterani e un manager. È partito ovviamente il terzo grado e il manager ad un certo punto mi fa: ma sei fidanzata? Al mio no se ne esce con: guarda ti posso dire menomale? Il mondo della moda ai single regala solo gioie. Uno dei responsabili (quello con cui ho legato di più fin ora) si gira e fa: le regala anche a quelli fidanzati come me porca puttana Lù (gli piaccio palesemente, ma stella sei fidanzato e non voglio problemi grazie).
Le colleghe anche stupende, una più gentile dell'altra.
Sto imparando tutti i nomi perché ogni giorno spunta qualcuno di nuovo. Ieri ad esempio entra un ragazzo e mi fa: piacere Francesco, quello dell'altro store. Perché giustamente già devo imparare i nomi (tutti uguali per giunta, due Valentina, due Alessandro, due Stefano, che minchia variate un po' con questi nomi che mi confondete) di quelli che sono del mio di store, poi arrivano anche quelli da fuori 🫠.
Stasera prima cena aziendale, per i 20 anni e mi vengono già a prendere i colleghi per portarmi con loro 🥹 dove conoscerò tutti i colleghi anche degli altri posti.
Tra l'altro super felice, perché sto imparando tantissime cose e mi hanno messa a fare mansioni che danno a gente che lavora lì da almeno 2 settimane (io dopo 2 giorni ho già fatto quasi tutto).
La mia responsabile era talmente felice che è arrivata in ufficio e fa al manager: indovina cosa le ho fatto fare al secondo giorno ehhhh?.
Il manager: l'hai già portata giù a fare 'nome di mansione'?
Lei: sii è troppo sveglia quindi le ho già insegnato tutto.
Il manager tutto gongolante dicendo che lui da subito ha detto che si vede che sono intelligente e sveglia e che me la so cavare.
Super mega felice ❣️.

Trigun Bookclub Trimax Vol2 Part 1
Vol01: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3  | Vol02: Part 1 | Part 2
Trimax: Vol01 Part 1 Vol01 Part 2 | Vol02 Part 1 Vol02 Part 2
My thoughts on Trimax Vol02! Not so much deep art or thoughts analysis in this one :)
Tumblr media
I wonder if the name has any meaning to it? As far as I understood this is the mansion where Legato and his henchmen are hiding, so I wonder if there’s anything to that name. Now what I found just now was that there is a musician by that name who apparently made two songs, one called “My Only True Love” and “I’m Coming Back from Viet Nam”, but no chance to listen to them. Interesting, I guess.
Tumblr media
Joke: Midvalley must be playing really bad if that’s his audience’s reaction
Tumblr media
It’s also cool to note that Gauntlet is trying to warn the men about Legato, that they should get away! He might hold no sympathy for them but he also doesn’t wish for their ugly demise that’s inevitable when Legato steps in.
Tumblr media
Oh this whole chapter is SO yucky and bleugh and evil but the most evil thing is this panel right here. Sometimes the horrors that aren’t shown are the most horrifying ones.
Tumblr media
Vaaash ♥ Every time our boy is remotely smiling I want to pet his head and boop his nose and hold him close.
Tumblr media
Maybe I’ve overlooked smth during my first two reads or misunderstood smth but dear ma’am, who are you?? My only theory is probably nonsense. Or maybe it’s just some extra being controlled by Legato to help him move around?
Tumblr media
I couldn’t resist. I need to make fun of Legato every time I see him.
Tumblr media
Nick looks really cute with these glasses. Also good for you, Wolfie, getting to drive such a pretty boy in your sidecar!
Tumblr media
The killing game? I thought they were only meant to bring Vash neverending und unbearable suffering? (Though Vash can’t know that)
Tumblr media
Lovely use of the soundwords again!!
Tumblr media
And this one! Also cool how the swoooshing of the blade is indicated with this white space. Black outlining and then a light shading...hmhm (taking notes)
Tumblr media
Aah I love it when one part of the face is covered in darkness, showing mostly the eye. It’s so looming and effective. Actually, now I do wonder if this is something that’s still used in nowadays mangas or not? I don’t read lots of mangas atm and only one other shounen, so I’m pretty out of the loop how manga style has evolved (of course everybody has their own style but in general, I think you can often see if a series is older or newer. I NEED to analyise what specifics do give that away because that’s pretty interesting)
Tumblr media
I think this is the first time it’s kinda directly stated that Vash is not human, isn’t it? Just smth interesting to note I think.
Tumblr media
Ooh we all know you’re also thinking about you and your own sinful existence, Wolfie.
Tumblr media
I really like this page and especially the left panel! The ground is so utterly devoid of any details, apart from the sand clouds and the lines that the roller blades have left. I really enjoy how Nightow keeps mostly to lineart without using lots of shading in the clothes, that’s a thing he does mostly in the faces the enhance expressions as far as I could tell.
Tumblr media
Gotta agree with Wolfwood on this, Vash is being a bit naive. He makes it sound so easy, so much so that it could be understood as an insult to all the suffering that Rai-Dei had to endure, to the way that his life is now. I mean it’s not the case but it does sound like Vash doesn’t want to know or hear about Rai-Dei’s crimes, by saying it “doesn’t matter”. All in all it is understandable that it only fuels Rai-Dei’s anger.
Tumblr media
I love pages where it’s no sound, only little snippets of action taking place, with different perspectives.

Davanti gli armadietti, giù nel magazzino, Sanji si sbottona la camicia. Per farlo non aspetta che l'altra recuperi le sue cose ed esca nel corridoio, non aspetta mai, e lei commenta sempre in qualche modo.
ㅤㅤ« Da meno di un anno », aveva confermato Nami ad una signora in cassa. Così lui l'aveva guardata e lei, di nascosto dall'interlocutrice, aveva riso sventolando la mancia. Stavano insieme – perché la domanda era stata quella – a quanto pareva, per venti dollari. « Sìì signora, è un ragazzo d'oro— ». Aveva questo modus sul lavoro, ammiccava al cliente coi tempi giusti, nei modi giusti e con disarmante complicità... faceva parte della mansione di cameriera ingraziarsi la gente, a sentir lei.
« Sei silenziosa. »
« — sì, sto andando. » È tranquilla, lo suona almeno. Lui freme, e si domanda se si percepisca il tormento in cui giace, la tensione con cui esegue i consueti movimenti. 
La segue con la coda dell'occhio, prima che inforchi definitivamente la via delle scale, decide di piazzarglisi davanti. Solo un minuto- o due, il tempo di capire se ci ha visto bene.
« È strano. »
A fermarsi per rispondere la vincola esclusivamente l'educazione, 'ché Sanji non le ha ostruito il passaggio. « Che vada via? Non direi » piega appena di lato la testa, smaliziata; è decisa insomma, continuerà su quella linea di finta tontaggine.
Il cuore a lui non accenna a rallentare.
« È strano, il tuo silenzio » si appoggia alla parete piastrellata con un fianco, braccia conserte; dunque la soppesa, dilata i tempi.
« C'è qualcosa che vorresti dicessi? » arcua le sopracciglia.
Non ho niente da dire, è piuttosto sicuro significhi questo. Eppure negli occhi accesi lui vi legge il contrario, risposte a domande che non osa porre. Quanto può esser saggio risvegliare speranze sepolte? « Domani sono di riposo. »
« Io no » si poggia al muro anche lei, a specchio.
« Lo so » lui scivola più avanti.
« Mhh » non si ritrae.
« mh-mh. »
« E sai anche come mi stai guardando già da prima? »
Mira a inibirlo, lo sa, e comunque non lo modifica lo sguardo, semmai lo infittisce. « No... come? »
Lei socchiude gli occhi, lo scruta. Dovrebbe essere un passetto ciascuno, in amore e nel corteggiamento. Con Nami quando uno va avanti l'altra gioca a soffiargli in faccia, l'altra gli ricorda con una sola occhiata quante volte gli ha dovuto dire di no, da ragazzino in preda agli ormoni. Quindi occorre ascoltare il colore della voce, cogliere la piega in cui rimangono le labbra, se fremono leggermente là dove s'affanna a nascondere l'euforia tipica dei sentimenti.
« Da adolescente alla prima cotta » si è rimessa dritta, mento sollevato in un'innocente pungolatura.
« E ti sembro alla mia prima cotta? » gli esce roco, risultato di una gola che non vuol collaborare, però in qualche modo provocatorio se detto a quei pochi centimetri. Aleggia un 'ancora ', sottinteso lì da qualche parte.
« Non lo so... » vaneggia, bugiarda. Gliela fa piacere di più quella ritrosia, il tentativo d'invalidazione protratto fino all'ultimo. Quante volte lo ha fregato con questo atteggiamento, quante volte lo ha scoraggiato? Rabbia, quella sana, quella che nutre per il sé che per tanto tempo ha rinunciato, diventa ardore. « ... sembrerebbe di sì. »
Ormai ribolle, fuori non sa se il sangue abbia deciso di fargli prendere totalmente un altro colore. Non si permette di quietare nulla, non serve più, ora è lei che lo sta guardando da innamorata, dritto in faccia. La bacia. Non c'è assaggio; lei contraccambia con la stessa voracità, è quasi un dispetto.
Gli tremano le mani nel tenerle il viso. Le sue, più sottili, gli scavano l'addome, la schiena; gelide, avide... senza incertezza. Ondeggia, vacillano, non c'è equilibrio. La percepisce ridere, non si offende finché col resto del corpo s'impegna a rimanergli incollata.
 « Ba-umh-basta » è lei, n
aturalmente; esce dal bacio con un po' d'affanno, « a dopodomani abbiamo detto? » Scherza, nel liquidarlo così.
« Non vuoi venire da me? » troppo veloce, troppo disarmato.
Ci sta pensando. È seria quando parla, dolce, « un'altra volta Sanji, sono stanca sul serio ».
Sguinzaglia un « dormiremo », disperato. « Dormiamo— » lo ripete mormorando, ma non è credibile se incombe sul suo collo, se si abbassa con cautela, con paura celata, fretta di toccare, sentire finché può; se continua attirandola a sé, saggiando le labbra, lentamente, se le bacia, lambisce con la lingua e intrappola gentile con le dita, quando lei fa per replicare. « — da me » ammonisce gentile, guardandola negli occhi. Lei li rotea veloce, sconfitta. « Va bene » cantilena dolce, ed è il più bel suono che lui le abbia mai sentito emettere. « A casa mia però, preferisco. »
« Come comanda. »
       ( ... )
L'aveva messa tra le storie in evidenza, dove le faceva gli auguri di compleanno.
La rimuove che son trascorsi cinque mesi dalla rottura.
 Armeggia su instagram sdraiato sul divano, una coperta stropicciata disordinatamente a contrastare un principio di fresco. La foto nel profilo invece, l'unica sopravvissuta di quelle che li ritraevano insieme, risale a quando erano ancora colleghi. Sta in mezzo ad una serie di altre cinque, ciascuna con altri del lavoro; qualcuno si ripete, Nami figura solo nella terza. La didascalia cita 'What a blessing to have spent this year with you all and your beautiful soul'.
Non archivia.

Quando sento gente parlar male del reddito di cittadinanza ci rimango sempre male. Non per la misura che ha lati positivi e negativi ma per quel disprezzo che si avverte verso tutti quelli che non ce la fanno. Non capisco tanto astio verso la povera gente da dove nasca. Imprenditori stitici e improvvisati, partite iva, evasori fiscali come Vissani il cuoco, e Briatore il bagnino o impiegati pubblici che siamo, sembrano tutti un disco rotto.
Non sono un tipo volgare ma a volte perdo il lume della ragione e ultimamente un paio di volte non sono stato affatto tenero con qualche cliente dello studio. Un negoziante mi chiede un bilancino anno 2022 per la banca. " Il bilancio e' prossimo allo zero, quindi, credo che il prestito lei non lo prende". Apriti cielo, cento bestemmie e maledizioni a chi prende il RDC standosene seduto sul divano; quelli si che vivono bene. "Scusi", dico io, "parla lei che ha quelle 3 commesse con busta paga part-time e le fa stare schiavizzate per dodici ore giornaliere, compresi sabati, e domeniche in negozio? Ma non si vergogna a parlar male di altri quando lei non e' che sia tanto meglio?
La scorsa settimana ecco il dipendente del Ministero Della Difesa che voleva una stampa del suo 730. Nell'attesa si lamentava con me perche' la figlia lavorava presso uno studio di avvocati e la pagavano meno di chi sta seduto sul divano.. "io lo toglierei proprio questo reddito di cittadinanza, ci sono troppi furbetti, e tanti che lavorano a nero!"
Il tono non era affatto moderato, anzi.
Sono uscito fuori dalla mia normale gentilezza e gli ho fatto notare, che: " Vede, Lei non ha un posto di lavoro, ma un posto di reddito! La sua mansione la può fare chiunque sappia leggere e scrivere e i furbetti del cartellino sono di numero superiore ai furbetti del RDC. Quindi, stia calmino".
Mah, forse esagero ma quando e' troppo, e' troppo!. Quando vedo che a volare in aria sono sempre gli stracci dei poveri inizio a spazientirmi di brutto.. @ilpianistasultetto

Questo fine settimana evento in cui la mia mansione sarà accogliere la gente che arriva, scambiare 4 chiacchiere, memorizzare i nomi dei partecipanti, fare mini interviste, foto, video…
Essere socievole
Spoiler: ho l’ansia sociale e non so parlare con la gente
