Spring Fairy / La fée du renouveau

Artist : Guy Ribes (b. 1948)

[josefavomjaaga]

(Yes! A post about paintings that does not mention Soult … ooops.)

One impression I have got so far on reading up more on the medical service is that Dominique Larrey was an excellent self-promoter. (And no, that does not much endear him to me. But that's me.) In particular, he seems to have been very aware of the importance of (official, propagandistic) art in Napoleon’s Empire, and was keen on figuring in it. He was close friends with painter Anne-Louis Girodet, who after Larrey’s return from Egypt did a portrait of him:

After the battle of Eylau in 1807, when it became clear that the court would commission a painting of the battle, Larrey wrote to Girodet, who he believed would receive that job, in order to tell him that he wanted to be in that painting "in his function of chirurgien-inspecteur général". And just to be on the safe side, he added:

The advantage of being painted by you, my friend, will increase the satisfaction of my heart if I am fortunate enough to occupy a small corner of your canvas. If, against my expectations, you do not wish to treat this subject, please ask Monsieur Gros to grant me this satisfaction. It is a truth that he will place in his painting if he finds it worthy of being there.

Gros in the end did receive the commission – and added the guy to the painting who had actually been in charge of the surgeons during that campaign: Percy.

And then there’s the matter of Lannes’ death. Larrey on June 14 1809 writes a long letter to his wife (after, as he says, having been struck by deep melancholy ever since Lannes had died), and it ends with – yet another idea for how he could figure in a painting:

I wish someone had the idea of painting the moving scene in which the Emperor embraced his worthy friend carried on a stretcher, shortly after having undergone my operation. This is where I could appear with honour, if such a painting were ever done.

While trying to tell myself that a military surgeon who saw people dying every day must have felt very differently about the matter, I still can’t help but find this remark tasteless to the extreme. If he had said something about wanting to be remembered next to his friend or something, I would understand. But no. He wants to be in an official painting with Napoleon, and Lannes’ death is just a nice opportunity for that.

There is even a second letter regarding this matter. When Denon (on Larrey’s suggestion?) really commissioned a painting, the surgeon Ribes in Paris demanded some more details on the event. Larrey complied with this demand on 18 July 1809, adding:

At the request of M. Denon, military painter, who wants to depict the death of Lannes, Larrey sends this information to his friend, but expresses the formal wish that he not be named [as being involved in the matter]; he nevertheless takes the opportunity to ask to appear in this painting.

I do not know if there ever was an "official" painting done in the end. Part of me hopes no.

First Dates & Ferris Wheels (Aitana Bonmati x reader)

A/N: A little sequel to Reunited

The life of a professional footballer was hectic at times. Finding a time when both yours and Aitana’s schedule lined up proved to be difficult but after 2 months you finally had the same two days off. Since that night in Madrid you spoke to her every day but the only way to see her was over face time. 

Once Aitana knew the days you had off she went into planning mode but refused to tell you a thing. She told you which train you should get and that she would pick you up from the station. All you knew was that the date was taking place in Barcelona which you didn’t mind at all. The city held happy memories, you would go with Aitana and her family to Barcelona matches on the weekend as it was a 45 minute drive from Sant Pere de Ribes.

The train from Madrid to Barcelona took almost three hours so you got yourself comfy, ready for the journey. What you didn’t bank on was seeing three familiar faces enter the carriage.

“What a coincidence” Lola says jokingly as she sits opposite you with Carmen next to her and V sitting next  to you.

You didn’t find it funny in the slightest. All you wanted was a couple of days with Aitana, now it was a team trip. Your face was like stone and the three of them soon picked up on your annoyance.

“You don’t look happy to see us” V says.

“That’s because I’m not. You asked me what I was doing on my days off, I told you I was going to see Aitana alone. How did you find out, let alone the train I would be on?” You ask.

You see the three of them look at each other, as if mentally drawing straws to see who tells.

“Aitana told us” Lola says rather quietly.

This was a lie. You and Aitana both talked about how you wanted to spend this time together, just the two of you, so you both agreed that your plans would be kept secret.

“Try again” you stare at the keeper and she breaks immediately.

“We did ask Aitana but she wouldn’t tell us” Lola admits.

“So we asked Jenni to pry it out of Alexia because we knew that Aitana would go to her for advice”

“So correct me if I am wrong. You asked me, I told you no. You then asked Aitana who had the same response. At this point, instead of accepting that we didn’t want you to know, you coerced the information out of someone Aitana trusted”

All three of your teammates find themselves at a loss for words and the look on your face lets them know that they have crossed the line.

“We’re so—“

“I don’t want to hear it. I best not see you over the next two days. I have been waiting for this day for a very long time and I wont let you guys spoil it, do we have an agreement?”

“Yes” Lola says

“Sorry” Carmen apologies.

“We promise” Virginia tells you.

The rest of the train journey you refuse to talk to them. Instead you read your book just like you had planned to do before you got ambushed.

***************

After what might be the longest 2 hours and 45 minutes of your life you arrive in Barcelona. Even as you disembark the train you give your friends the the silent treatment.

Waiting near the platform is Aitana, a caring smile on her face which soon drops when she sees that you aren’t alone. Insecurities grow within her when she begins to think why you would bring them when she made it obvious she wanted you and only you.

“Ignore them. It’s me and you” you say as you pull her into your arms, placing a gentle kiss on her temple.

The affection you show calms her.

“Let’s go” She says as she leads you out to her car.

The short car journey is spent singing along to the radio. Aitana hands rests comfortably on your thigh as she drives. Every so often you would look over at her, finding her concentrating face adorable. 

“We’re here” Aitana parks the car.

Looking up you read the sign.

Tibado Amusement Park 

You cannot help but feel nostalgic. Ever summer the two of you would come here and spend the day going on ride after ride then trying, and failing, to win the biggest prizes.

“We have made so many memories, ready to make more?” Aitana asks as she holds out her hand.

The feeling in your gut is familiar yet foreign at the same time. Many things had changed since you were last here yet the look of excitement on your best friends face is same as it was all those years ago. You are frozen on the spot as the moment consumes you.

“Do you not like it?” Aitana worries as you don’t take her hand and the look on your face is unreadable.

“Sorry, too caught up in the past” you grab her hand.

“Don’t worry. I have spent a lot a time there too” Aitana reassures you.

Although she would never admit it, Aitana lost sleep over planning your first date. Patri had made a snide comment saying that just because young Y/N liked young Aitana didn’t mean that older you would feel the same. The words were stuck on repeat in the midfielder’s head ever since but as you held her hand she felt the same spark she felt a couple of months ago and the grin on your face lets her know you feel it too.

You spend the first part of the day going on as many rollercoasters as you could. The adrenaline you felt when you got off failed in comparison to the butterflies that Aitana gave you. 

Then the two of you went to the games area where unlike your childhood you actually managed to win a huge teddy on one of the ball games. Just like in the movies you give the prize to your date. You are about to leave the stall when you see a young girl trying to win a similar prize. When she fails and her mother tells her that all the money is gone, she begins crying.

“Hola! You can have mine” Aitana says as she gives her the bear.

The interaction touches your heart. The girl’s mother thanks Aitana profusely whilst the little girl hugs her as a thank you. 

“What are you looking at?” Aitana catches you staring but you don't mind.

“You” your reply is simple and honest. 

Aitana dips her head with embarrassment as she feels her cheeks heat up.

“And the fact that you just gave away something I spent 5 years trying to win you when we were younger” 

“Win me?” Aitana is shocked at your confession.

“Of course, I wanted to win a prize so that I can give it to prettiest girl I knew” 

“That teddy bear has nothing on the prize I am taking home” Aitana says rather confidently.

“Oh, are you going to try and win that huge spider-man, you know they are impossible to win” you say jokingly.

Aitana slaps your arm at your silliness. 

“Idiota! I mean you” 

You wrap your arm around her shoulder as you begin walking to the next stop on your date.

“I am a pretty great prize” your voice thick with smugness.

The next ride had to be your favourite. The Ferris wheel. Yes, it was boring but you loved that it only enough room for two people. It was intimate but in an innocent way.

“Nice you see this is still your favourite. I swear you are the only person I know that comes to an amusement park and their favourite ride is the slowest” Aitana says as she can feel the excitement radiating off you.

You are stood behind Aitana with your arms wrapped around her neck, resting them on her chest. She in turn places her hands on top of yours.

“Want to know a secret? Why it is my favourite?” Aitana nods her head.

“It was the closest I got to you when we were younger. You would sit as close to me as you could because you hated the height. I got to hold you and I didn’t have to explain the reason why it felt so good. You would wrap your arms around me and rest your head on my shoulder, I still remember the scent of your citrus shampoo. It was a moment where I felt the most peace and I would look forward to it every year”

Aitana turns to looks at you. Shyness isn’t something you feel very often but after admitting a childhood secret, you are overcome with it.

“I’m not scared of heights, never was. I just wanted you to hold me”

You don’t have the chance to respond to Aitana’s confession as you the two of you are ushered onto the ferris wheel and as if no time has passed the Barcelona player sits as close to you as possible while you hold her. Although the action is familiar, the feeling in your gut is new. There was no secret motive to having each other close, you were both doing it because you wanted to. 

“I’m really happy that I have you back in my life” Aitana says out of the blue. 

When you look down at her you see that she is looking out at the amusement park that is becoming more and more like a miniature model with every minute that passes. 

“What if we have changed? The history we had was amazing but what if too much time has past?” This thought has been running through your head since Lola made a comment a few weeks ago at training. You had annoyed her and she retaliated by questioning what kind of future you and Aitana could have if you lived in the past. 

Your question gets Aitana’s attention as she abandons her admiration of the view and is now looking at you trying to figure out where this was coming from. Had you not enjoyed the date? Were you having second thoughts? Her insecurities from earlier return tenfold but the longer she thinks about it, the more she realises that you didn’t mean ill by your words. 

“Someone said something didn’t they?” You nod your head “who?” 

“Lola” your voice is quiet and your look shifts to the floor of the carriage as doubt settles in. 

Aitana is infuriated. Why would Lola say something like that? 

As if reading her mind you are quick to come to your team mates defence. 

“I don’t think she meant it maliciously. I guess a part of me was already thinking it and then her words didn’t help” 

Aitana agrees with you, knowing that Lola is harmless. She has seen over the past couple of months just how close the two of you are. 

She turns, now fully facing you. You grab her legs putting them across your lap hoping that it is a comfier position given the small enclosure you are in. 

“Our past is what made us. Some of my happiest memories are with you when we were young and I like talking about them, especially with you” Aitana wraps her arms around your neck, interlocking her hands as her thumbs play with your baby hairs “We have changed but the way I feel about you hasn’t. I love our past but I love the thought of having a future with you more”

You look at Aitana as if she hung the stars. What you must have done in your past life to have her in this one, you could never know but you were grateful for it. Your gaze remains on the woman in front of you and it is as if you have forgotten how to talk, that is the effect Aitana Bonmati has on you, in this moment more than ever before.

The concept of time is moot as the two of you sit there, neither speaking or moving. That is until the ride comes to a stop and you have to get out.

Much like before, Aitana grabs your hand as she begins leading you to the next part of your date but you don’t move. You pull aitana back towards you as you crash your lips in hers, what starts as gentle soon turns passionate as you both put all of your feelings into the kiss, only parting when oxygen becomes an issue.

The woman you have just kissed is about to speak when she is cut off by a familiar voice, one that you don’t need to see the owner of in order to know who it is.

“Fancy seeing you here” Jenni jokes

The euphoria that is consuming you soon perishes.

Aitana smile fades as the voices come closer to you. 

“That was some kiss” Lola teases you.

Still, your back faces the group of girls.

“Y/N” Carmen says barely a whisper.

Her innocent tone gets your attention and as you look at her you can see the guilt on her face.

“What are you doing here?” Aitana asks your friends a lot nicely that you would of.

“We were bored and heard this was a good place to visit” Jenni says.

Aitana begins telling her friends about the day you two have had. Her kindness is one of the things you liked most about her but in the moment you didn’t care for it. The Barcelona girls begin talking as if nothing is wrong but your team mates look at you waiting for you to talk. They thought it would be funny to surprise you but now they regretted the decision.

“Nice to see your promises hold no meaning” you tell your best friend.

You see V swallow deeply when she realises just how mad you are.

“We both made it clear that we wanted to spend the day alone, just the two of us yet here you are going against our wishes like our wants mean nothing” your voice holds no emotion.

“Y/N, we—“ 

You ignore Alexia. In a way you were disappointed in her most, you thought she would understand your need for privacy. It was something you both had in common.

“I don’t want to hear it” you tell the captain.

Aitana squeezes your hand getting your attention “let’s continue this somewhere else”

Too frustrated to talk, you only nod your head as you follow Aitana to the exit of the amusement park.

Your team mates stand there not knowing what to do. Whilst they knew it was a risk interrupting your date they didn’t think you would react like you did.

“Maybe this wasn’t a good idea” Jenni says.

“No shit” Alexia replies.

***************

Aitana drives you to her apartment. The two of you don’t speak but it is comfortable silence.

The Barcelona midfielder leads you into her living room. She takes a seat of her sofa hoping you would follow in suit, only you don’t. Instead you stare out of her window and at the busy streets of Barcelona.

“I’m sorry they ruined our date” you apologise even though it isn’t your place to do so.

You didn’t try to hide your disappointment. You knew that Aitana put a lot of thought into your date and it had gotten cut short.

“It isn’t ruined, just altered. The end is same though, I have you in my apartment”

You cannot help but laugh at Aitana’s bashfulness.

“Is that so?” 

Aitana nods as she pulls the hem of your t-shirt, leading you back to the sofa. She lets herself fall as you hover over her.

When she reaches up to kiss you, you waste no time in deepening the kiss. Your hands begin roaming her body when there is a knock at the door but have no interest it stopping but then a second knock follows.

Aitana caves before you as she gets in to answer the door.

She only opens it slightly given the she didn’t want whoever was on the other side to come in. You hear whispers then Aitana turns to look at you.

“You have got to be kidding me. I thought I made it clear at Tibado” you were more frustrated now than you were at the amusement park given what was happening minutes ago.

“Tell her we brought pizza” Carmen whispers.

“They brought pizza” Aitana does as she is told.

Now you wouldn’t say you could easily be bribed but your team mates knew you well. If they wanted something from you in the morning, they would bring you coffee and if it was in the evening, they would bring you food.

“Double pepperoni with stuffed crust?” You ask as you rest you chin on Aitana shoulder, inspecting the pizza boxes.

Carmen nods and it is only then to you realise is alone. 

“They sent you” the atleti defender nods.

“They are down the hall aren’t they” again Carmen nods.

You take the pizza from her as you close the door.

Aitana is shocked but when she sees you with wicked grin on your face she opens the door again telling Carmen to come in as she shouts for the others.

Your team mates enter, more takeout boxes in hand. Each apologising to you and Aitana as they enter.

After ten minutes or so all is forgiven and everyone had split of into their own conversations.

“Have you completed your checklist?” Alexia asks Aitana.

She shakes her head “One thing left”

“Why haven’t you asked her?” 

“What if she leaves again? Our friendship didn’t last before, what makes you think our relationship will?” Aitana watches as you laugh at some Jenni is telling you.

“Y/N isn’t going anywhere” Lola pipes in “She is signing at 4 year extension on Monday” 

“See, she came back to you once, she won’t leave again” 

Aitana just nods in agreement.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room you watch Aitana as she talks to Lola and Alexia. Although the day hasn’t gone as expected, it would still go down as a pretty good day.

“You’re day dreaming” Virginia says.

You can only smile “I’m not dreaming”

“So, have you asked her yet?” 

You shake your head.

“What are you waiting for? To be separated for another ten years?” V pokes your side.

“I would have done it earlier but we were interrupted by my promise breaking best friend” 

V holds her hands up in defeat.

“How about I get everyone out of here, would that make up for it?” V suggests.

“It’s a start” 

Without saying another word, V goes over to Carmen who manages to gather the group as they leave. So V’s way of making it up to you was getting Carmen to persuade everyone to leave, typical.

Now you have Aitana all to yourself, for how long, god only knew.

“I—“ you both says at the same time.

“You first” again you speak in unison.

“You planned today, you go first” you insist.

The look on Aitana’s face told you she was nervous for whatever she was about to say. You take her hand in yours as you sit down.

“Y/N” Her voice is quiet, almost like she is scared.

“T” you call her by her nickname hoping that would bring her some comfort and when you see her smile you consider your mission successful.

“I know we have only be on one date and you have only just come back into my life but I don’t want to waste anymore time. Will you be my girlfriend?” 

“I would love nothing more” 

Much to your surprise, Aitana lets out a huge sigh of relief, how could she ever think you would say no.

You kiss her gently “Want to want a movie?”

“How about we pick up where we left off, you know before we were rudely interrupted” Aitana raises her eyebrows playfully.

“Even better” the eagerness in your voice is evident.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN IT ENDS IN THE MIDDLE!!!!!!!!! NOTHING GOT RESOLVED!!!!! EVERYBODY IS STILL FUCKED! YOU TELLING ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE BECAUSE THESE GUYS COULDN’T MAKE A NORMAL 90 MINUTE MOVIE! I’M ABOT TO STAB SOMEBODY! BITING CLAWING RIBING EVERTHING TO SHREDS! HITTING YOU WITH SHOVELS THROWING HAMMERS AT YOUR HEAD! THATS THE WORST CLIFFHANGER IVE EVER SEEN! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!

[rederiswrites]

Because I am a boss, I made my first square murrine yesterday.

If you've been listening to me yammer about glass for a while or even like, ever watched a glassblowing video, you know that glass wants to be round. Left to itself, crisp edges will disappear and raised areas will for into the base when you heat glass. But with some persuasion and a good YouTube video many things are possible.

So we're recreating a bead from the Viking trading center in Ribe today. Or rather, an element. Many beads are actually the end result of multiple processes. In this case, I still have to make two square checkerboard canes, combine them into a much larger checkerboard, and make fat twisties, then cut them all to size and attempt to mash then together in a shape. To get this:

Those mosaic chips were almost certainly an import from the Mediterranean area that the bead maker at Ribe would have used as a finished product. And they'd be made by fusing rods together in a big furnace. But I don't have a big furnace so I'm gonna do it the stupid hard way. Hopefully.

Starts like this:

Well ok obviously I've already been working for a while, but you guys have seen this process before. Melt glass, swipe on, keep everything neat and even. Square is a pretty easy shape at this point.

Cobalt glass is so gorgeous in the flame, guys. I never get tired of this.

The finished blob.

Then the blob gets its little hats, this time little pyramid hats of clear glass, with special attention paid to supporting the outer corners of the square. I heat slowly and carefully, periodically pressing the sides onto a graphite marver to keep them flat. Actually I ran into trouble there because my little clear pyramids were (by design) much stiffer and so they got in the way of flattening the design. More figuring to do.

But!

Square. Wooo!

Now for the hard part. But I've made a checkerboard, and I've made a square, so I can do this. Probably.

𝕎𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕒𝕚𝕜𝕪𝕦𝕦 𝕓𝕠𝕪𝕤 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕠𝕟 𝕪𝕠𝕦𝕣 ℍ𝕠𝕟𝕖𝕪𝕞𝕠𝕠𝕟.

ft. Miya Atsumu, Miya Osamu, Kuroo Tetsurou, Oikawa Tooru, Ojiro Aran, Akaashi Keiji, Sakusa Kiyoomi & Suna Rintarou.

❥ Miya Atsumu - The Maldives! Sunshine boy takes you on a sunny trip, a little cliché but so worth it. Crystal clear waters, a private bungalow over the water, just you and him in your own little world? Perfection. He’s going to be all over you most of the time, and are you complaining? Absolutely not. You two do make them for other activities though, I see Atsumu as a super active person so definitely snorkeling, surfing and sailing are on the list. Then wind down with lazing around in a hammock in the middle of the ocean, couples massages at the underwater spa, candle lit dinners on the beach, chilling in the private infinity pool in your bungalow, and just fully enjoying your time with each other. Your honeymoon is the definition of fun and relaxation, and resident exhibitionist Atsumu somehow convinced you to shower naked with him in the private outdoor shower of your bungalow... you’re starting to see the appeal now ;)

❥ Miya Osamu - Taiwan. One word...FOOD. Taiwan’s got an amazing array of food that Osamu would love to try with you, from street food to fine dining. With some of the best night markets in the region (and you know Asia’s got the good night markets), you’ll be full and satiated...in more ways than one ;) Of course it’s your honeymoon so you’re gonna be staying at a hotel with a view of Taipei 101. He takes you on a day trip to Kaohsiung just to walk around Love River, and to see Lotus Pond! Then another trip to Wulai to soak in the hot springs with a view of the waterfalls. Your man goes all out to make the trip memorable and romantic, he spares no expense when it comes to making you happy.

❥ Oikawa Tooru - Cappadocia. One of the most beautiful places on earth. I always see Oikawa as a traveler, someone in search of new adventures and trying new things, he’s also someone that wants to make an impression, especially on his beloved. Capadoccia is like something out of a modern day fairytale. I’m sure you’ve all seen those hot air balloon photos, and yeah, you guys definitely do that...for the gram, and the memories <3 You both switch off for the trip and just enjoy each other, and the beauty your destination has to offer, open air museums, camel rides (he definitely falls off his camel) , atv rides, the FAIRY CHIMNEYS! He probably begs you to go on a hike with him because he’s so used to doing them in Argentina for fun, and when you give in you don’t regret it because it leads to you to one of the most beautiful sunsets with the love of your life...

❥ Ojiro Aran - The Netherlands. I know, it’s not the first place one would think of for a honeymoon but you and Aran can’t think of a lovelier place to wind down after all the stress of planning and having your wedding. Your days are filled with exploring gorgeous Amsterdam, cruising through the canals on a private boat, long walks or bike rides together through the scenic city, and eating some of the most delicious food you’ve ever had. Aran can’t help it but take tons of photos of you when you visit Keukenhof Gardens, the tulips are in bloom, and he is reminded of why he’s absolutely smitten with you as he watches you walk through them. He takes a page out of Atsumu’s book and makes a cheesy joke about you being more beautiful than any flower, and he actually means it. He indulges you on a trip to the Van Gogh Museum, and he actually really loves it. You both leave with a stunning replica of “Almond Blossom,” because it reminded him so much of the cherry blossoms at home.

❥ Akaashi Keiji - Denmark. Another not-so-popular honeymoon destination, but it’s perfect for you and Akaashi, after all it is the home of one of the most famous fairytale authors, Hans Christian Andersen. You both spend your days touring castles in Copenhagen, and taking romantic boat rides through the canals (Europe loves these doesn’t it?), visiting Andersen’s hometown, relaxing at picturesque cafés and reading, visiting the lovely medieval village of Ribe, and taking all the aesthetic couple photos! And of course, exploring the stunning Tivoli Gardens. It’s quiet, quaint, and charming, much like your beau <3 and it’s the perfect destination for your fairytale getaway.

❥ Sakusa Kiyoomi - Prague, Czech Republic, a city of unparalleled beauty and elegance, just like your suave companion. You both honeymoon in the down season, where the crowds are less. I truly believe Kiyoomi is a romantic, and he definitely believes in the age-old rumor that a kiss in front of the statue of the romantic poet Karel Macha in the Petřín Hill Park on May Day will make your love eternal, so that’s how you start your first day in Prague after breakfast <3 there’s also the rumor that couples who kiss under a blossoming cherry tree on that day will last forever. So you guessed it, you both spend the entirety of your first day in Prague, on the hunt for said blossoming cherry tree. He makes up for it with a scorching kiss that leaves you tingling from the tips of your toes all the way to your ears when you do find your tree. Your time in Prague is spent going to an opera, romantic dinners every.single.day, putting your love lock on one of the many bridges, cruising on the canals, and to avoid all the crowds, a visit to Prague Castle before the sun rises to enjoy a magical stroll around the squares and courtyards as warmth paints the sky.

❥ Kuroo Tetsurou - New York...to be young and in love in New York City~ listen, I know New York isn’t your typical honeymoon destination but it just suits Kuroo so well! There’s so much to do! Can you imagine how fancy he’d be at all times? Especially in fall/winter fashion! Yeah, so we’re going with that. You guys go to Broadway, ice skating at Rockefeller in front of the big tree, stay at the Plaza cause it’s iconic, he gives you flowers at the top of the Empire State (like chuck and blair 😭 I miss gossip girl), eat good pizza in Little Italy, eat all the things at Chelsea Market, take walks around Central Park, have coffee at Ralph Lauren’s, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s Blue Box Café! It would be the most amazing honeymoon, with Mr. Fancy himself.

❥ Suna Rintarou - South Korea. Seoul is easily one of the most instagrammable places in the world, need I say more? You and Suna spend most of your time doing the absolute most at places like the TrickEye Museum, 2D café, Lotte World, giant library at Starfield Mall, and yeah, you two rent those Hanboks when you visit Gyeongbokgung Palace (Suna is mortified but does it to make you happy anyway). You two have pictures of everything, so many pictures. Who said being married had to be boring? You two hit up the clubs in Itaewon, and act like the horny teens you are on the inside, well he legit just sits in the booth while you give him a lap dance. Also, a nighttime visit to Namsan Seoul Tower to see the stunning views of the city, and to put your love lock on the observation deck with thousands of others. Suna tells you it’s lame but he literally had a special heart-shaped lock made for you both with your names engraved onto it <3 who’s the lame one now, Sunarin?

Thank you to @honeybunny-sawamura for letting me badger her with these hcs💕💝

Also do tell me who you guys want to see next!

A couple of weeks ago, @tarjeismoeworknews told me about this small The Norwegian Laws of Friendship book that was published in late 2019 with Tarjei as one of one hundred contributors.

I tracked the book down (because... well, Tarjei... 😅) and got in contact with the person behind the whole project, a very nice guy called Ole Petter Ribe. I received my copy of the book today - and with Ole Petter’s permission I’m allowed to share with you Tarjei’s paragraph on friendship laws, which... *giggle* I really do adore that boy 💜

Translation:

B. About general relationships, about me and my gang and about love

§48

Tarjei Sandvik Moe

Oslo. Year 2093. The friend group and messenger chat McGregorBoyzz (named after the UFC fighter who in 2042 came out as gay, not the actor from the really old movie Moulin Rouge), originally consisting of six high school friends born in the year 1999, is today down to three surviving boys. An early, recalled version of the self-driving car took Marek’s life in 2033, a robot partner with too much jealousy source code killed Duc in 2065, and early today Ulf died during an attempt at the popular extreme sports trend of the 2090s, kamibaze jumping. It is in itself sad to have lost half the gang, but moreover, it reduces the chance by half of getting an answer in the chat when you ask if someone wants to have a glass of Mars wine. There is, however, another problem that now stresses the rest of the group. After Duc and Marek's passing, Ulf was really McGregorBoyzz's last natural leader. The leaders Marek, Duc and Ulf did die first. Leaders often die first. The strength of leaders is to take responsibility and make quick, impulsive decisions for themselves and others, such as ordering cheap tickets to Ibiza by Matoma. But this instinctive, reckless way of living is also the main reason why leaders often end up dying early. And now there are only the submissive, undependable successors left. Kai, Makthar and Theo. At the age of 94, Kai has never dared to take control of the music at a pre-party. On Saturday morning, Makthar doesn’t buy alcohol himself, instead he messages the McGregor-boyzz at 14:56 and asks one of them to get two bottles at the Mars wine monopoly within four minutes, claiming that he himself is caught in the shower. And Theo… yeah… Theo. Fuck Theo. Everyone knows that a group without initiative is a dying group of friends. What should they do now, when none of the remaining three are fit to steer the electric ship? Can one of the boys step up their game, take over as the king of the gang, and thus save its existence? McGregorboyzz (in messenger format) Kai: Damn. King Ulf is dead. Makthar: Yes, damn. Theo: Too bad about Ulf. Don’t think I'm so keen on Kamibazehopping anymore now. Makthar: Shut up, Theo. Theo: I can take over, if no one else wants to? Kai: Like hell you will. Theo: Right, so one of you’re going to? … Makthar: Do elections? Like, voting on who will be in charge? Kai: Elections. That's the most fair way. Whoever is elected just has to take that responsibility, like a monarch. Theo: Elections are not that damn stupid. Worked damn well with Sven Nordin as King of Norway.

Election result: Makthar: 2 Kai: 1 Theo: -1

Black clover 268

THAT CHAPTER IS SO INTENSE, I WANT TO CRY BUT AT THE SAME TIME I WANT TO HEADBUTT AND VIOLENTLY MURDER SOME DEVILS (*cough* Lucifero*cough*) Also I have several questions that might be important and could possibly bring more drama, tears, malice and anger for the characters in the story. Also the page that I show you are probably coming from a fanmade translation, when the official version will be out  I will replace the page those translation by the accurate one if I may say. If you want to know when a more official version will be out then ...

That’s the countdown, think you can handle it ?

Me: I would like to call Devil May Cry agency please. It’s for a important job, a job about killing some devils.

It was literally my reaction when I read that page, I swear ! But... FUCK YOU DEVILS, MY BOY ANTIMA PASS THE GATE !!! I’m sure they thought they let something important go away by taking their anger on Antima when they throw him.

Lichita, huh ? You can’t tell me there is no connection with the elves or Licht especially when she found this !

THAT’S RIGHT !!! SHE FOUND THE FIVE LEAF FRIMOIRE, THE SAME THAT ZAGRED TURNED BY MAKING LICHT FALLING INTO DESPAIR !!! EITHER IT’S A PURE COINCIDENCE OR ASTA AND HIS MOM ARE REALLY RELATED TO LICHT, THE ELVES, TETIA AND LUMIEL|LUMIERE !!! SECRE, PATRI, GET READY TO PROTECT THAT BOY IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE !!!

So this is why she gave up Asta to the orphanage. Too bad she didn’t know her son is magicless or else she could have live with Asta.

Look at how much he is happy and how cute he is with Lichita !!! This is why the following pages are heartbreaking and that I have the sudden urge to go in BC universe, go to hell and kick devil’s ass until they beg me to give them mercy.

AT THIS POINT IT’S NOT DANTE, VERGIL, NERO AND THE REST OF THE DMC GANG WE NEED, IT’S GABRIEL BELMONT|DRACULA FROM CASTLEVANIA: LORDS OF SHADOW WE NEED !!! HE BEAT TWICE SATAN ASS SO LUCIFERO SHOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM FOR HIM !!! Also Liebe|Ribe said “the superior devil” and not a superior devil so it confirms that Luci is the devil king and that there’s not another stronger, powerful devil hiding behind unless... Tabata is the guy behind Black clover so everything is possible. But... HE WAS FUCKING READY TO POSSESS ANTIMA, BLESS GOD ASTA’S MOM FOR SAVING HIM !!!

Thoughts of Asta’s mom: FUCK OFF, DEVIL !!! DON’T TOUCH MY SON !!!

You got me once Tabata but not a second time ! I mean... A stab in the stomach doesn’t mean she is dead. Tetia, that we all thought to be dead, was still alive and possibly went to Heart kingdom so she can live with the living twin peacefully. I think there is a possibility she is still alive but where ? I am honestly too scared to give you my thought but since Lucifero is a bastard... I’ll say he kept her as his personal prisoner in the Underworld or in the real world, either playing with her body or her soul. Something dark, something that will make Liebe|Ribe|Antima snap for good leaving Asta defenseless at the crucial moment. Because yes Lucifero seems (more like is but not a word about it) to be a big bitch there. And I have a very bad feeling, a bad feeling that manifests when I read next page...

How much do we bet that Lucifero, by some miracle, was somehow still around and heard what Lichita said to AMD ? I think you know where I’m going with this one and yes that’s probably the scariest thought that I ever had about Black Clover... Imagine that Lucifero connect the dots, realize that Asta is the blood son of the woman he killed when he tried to take possession of Ribe body and being the bitch he is will tell him something like this and we have a discussion like this:

“Tell me human... How do you feel if I told you that your own mother prefer to give her mother love to a devil instead of you, her own blood child ?”

“What are you talking about ?”

“So that devil of yours didn’t tell you anything... Secrets are always ending up to be reveal, lower devil.”

“Your mother told to your devil and I quote Live, Liebe ! My beloved son...” and your devil called her mother”

And us, readers, knows it’s the truth and I’m scare to know Asta’s reaction if it does happen. With ki, he will know that Lucifero tell him the truth even if he is the one to have murder the mom. Imagine to be Asta for a second: a boy with no magic in a world where magic is everything, you are an orphan, your foster brother that have the same age than you is powerful, a goddamn genius and is praise by evryone by your only father figure. You live with, minimum, ten years of being bullied, called terrible words and your own family don’t believe in you. If it wasn’t enough, your brother get a legendary grimoire. Then at least 6 months later, you save your own country from a devil only to be chosen as the scapegoat of the situation because you have yourself a devil. You are more or less exile from the kingdom to search proof of the existence of devils, you fight more tha one and when you’re against the strongest one, your opponent drop that fucking bomb, he says to your face that your own mother place you in an orphanage but adopt the first injuried, almost dead kid that turns to be a devil and in her dying moments call said devil “my beloved son”.

Personnally I think I will be super mad, angry and full of hatred especially if no one told me what are the circumstances that could have push her to abandon me. And I feel like will not tell Asta that tiny but important piece of information. Asta is the kind of person to act on his emotions, by impulsions and since that part is about malice, anger, hatred and other negative emotions, I feel like Asta WILL be the one to do a big mistake and then Lucifero will use that to his advantage like I don’t know, revive Astaroth from the depht of hell or possess Asta since he has no problem when it’s about to control the body of someone that don’t have mana.

But my friends... THE HYPE IS STILL THERE !!! I WANT TO KNOW HOW THE FIGHT ASTA VS ANTIMA WILL CONTINUE AND END !!! Just please, Tabata don’t do a repeat of the events of the past to make Antima realize that Asta is Lichita’s son and kinda like a brother or something more for him when his host is almost dead.

So I thought about JelloApocolaypse  and his So This Is Basically series at random.

... You all have to suffer too.

The main problem with his series here is that relies heavily on base level jokes.

What do I mean? Well, take his So This Is Basically MHA video. His first two jokes that aren’t just ‘wacky names!’ is ‘some people are born with godlike powers and other people have cacti!’ and ‘Hur Dur Bakugo tells Deku to kill himself, what a hero!/s’. These are literally the first jokes you would think of if you know anything about the show and this is ALL he does throughout his series (aside from ‘WACKY NAMES!’ and the occasional bullshit). 30 seconds in and you can probably begin guessing every single joke he’s about to make a second before he makes it. Which, considering a core element of comedy is catching your audience off guard, it’s pretty bad. Hell, it even ruins the anticipation part of comedy because you know what’s gonna happen and thus you’re just waiting for the joke to happen.

Not to mention he kind of misrepresents the stuff he talks about A LOT. Taking those two previous jokes from before, Bakugo being violent doesn’t actually make him unviable for being a hero. Not only are there far worse heroes *cough* Endeavor *cough* but Bakugo shares Deku’s innate desire to do good and base altruism. Bakugo fundamentally is a good person, he just has severe character flaws.

And the joke about Quirks? Fuck, that spits in the face of one of the most compelling aspects of the manga and anime as even the most useless sounding Quirks can be used cleverly or have terrifying applications. This aspect of the show is probably what draws people in at first and is a treasured part of it’s identity and this guy completely skips over and indirectly insults it. It’s not funny, it’s nothing at best and aggravating at worst.

Oh and did I forget to mention that he slips in his own criticisms into his video? Yeah he does. This is a factual thing that happens and it throws almost all his videos off. When he makes a joke that on the surface level seems insulting, is the joke about the insult or just someone making light hearted ribing? I don’t know because most of the time he says light hearted jokes and malicious insults with the same tone. The only video this doesn’t affect is his Adventure Time video and that’s because it’s just him jacking off his hate boner in your face for three and a half minutes. And I guarantee you unless you REALLY hate the show, you’ll want sow his mouth shut within the first minute.

This doesn’t happen with his other videos but that kind of shows his limitations. With his 10 words or less video, he’s being clear and honest. With his Welcome To videos, he’s got such a broad subject that he can make generalized jokes for minutes on end. And neither require any nuance or really anything beyond a basic knowledge of the subject matter. When it is required: he’s fucked beyond belief.

09. Focus

Don’t you love it when Rib softly sings, but if you listen closely he actually swears and flipped you off? Me too.

Anyway guys, Ribing fossil is up on Spotify so you can stream it even if you can’t afford the physical copy! Please support him (regardless of what he did in this song bc he’s a softie anyway)

Semi-back from Hiatus!

Hey guys! I’m going to finish up translating the albums I was working on (Eve’s Round Robin and Orangestar’s Mikansei Eightbeats). I also want to translate the rest of Soraru’s albums, but then I’m anticipating going back on hiatus.

I’ve received a few song requests, but am going to hold off on them for now >.<. I’m really sorry!!! I’ll leave them in my ask box though, just in case I start translating a lot more like I used to and life gets less busy. Basically, long story short, I’m in my last year of college and am trying to double major, along with job hunting and stuff.

I might come back to translate Ribing Fossil or Kagura Iro Artifact but we’ll see.
