[vieramars]

Mag 12 is probably my favorite Gerry episode because this man is covered in hours-old burns zonked out of his mind on painkillers limping around in a hospital that is actively turning into a slow cooker and he still puts in the effort to say mysterious shit and serve cunt

EPISODE TWELVE: FIRST AID “Yes, for you. Better beholding than the lightless flame.”

[ID: A digital painting of Gerard Keay. He looks as though he’s turned towards the viewer while walking past, staring directly at them. His left eye is a normal blue, but his right is a bright blue outline, starkly shadowed by his long dark hair. His face is pale, but his arms and upper chest are burnt, except for pale patches of skin beneath the black and blue eye tattoos on his joints. His hospital gown drifts behind him as he walks, holding a scalpel. The background behind him is dark, with a bright orange pattern of boiling water. Behind his head is the blue outline of a massive eye, shining like a halo. At the bottom of the image, text reads XII. First Aid. /END ID]

relistened to first aid (mag012) for the first time and the most concrete conclusion ive reached is: if i were that nurse, gerard keay would've given me such a bad case of comphet id think that the "for you better beholding than the lightless flame" thing was him cursing me with attraction for men

its. so cool. i dont know what happens in what seasons but tags apparently say like around the middle of s5?? like. i think when hes in his coma (jon)

also oh my god the author put in a shit ton of work?? like so theres a thing where Jon's unable to say his own words, and is stuck saying things from other people's statements, (its literally in the first chapter so no actual spoil) AND THE NOTES INCLUDE WHAT EPISODES HAVE THE DIALOGUE HES USING?? like

im going to give you a part from chapter 8, partly because i really wanted to show you it compiled together instead of just strings of sentences at the beginning:

Growing frantic now, Jon shakes his head vehemently: No, no, no, no, no–

“Then what?”

“…chased me – deceit – follow me” – a skip backwards – “read it – tried to read me back–”  

“Jon, slow down,” Georgie says, sensing his onrush of panic – but he can’t.

“I’ve been tricked into–”  

“–unable to look away–”  

“–there was now a tragedy to it that flowed from the words–”  

“–nothing to do but fall into it – it felt right, like it was all I could do–”  

The words come in a halting staccato, his mind speeding through statement after statement without him like a microfiche machine caught on fast-forward.

“–even as I did so, in the back of my mind I hated myself–”  

“–I didn’t stop, though – didn’t know what to do, and my mind was swimming with – the collective horror of all the things that I had seen and felt–”  

“–I struggled and fought, but it was far stronger than I was, and I could barely keep its jagged teeth from finding my throat–”  

One hand finds his throat now. He can only distantly feel fingernails digging into his skin.

“–‘alien’ might be the best word for that presence – because what it made me feel was–”  

“–something in the back of my mind, a frantic, scuttling terror – didn’t do any good, though – no matter what I might feel about it – choice didn’t even come into it–”  

The Archive was born with a purpose, and it fulfilled its role eagerly, skillfully, instinctively. It felt good, it felt right, and even now, the instinct lingers. He misses it. He craves it. He wants it back. He –

“ –the agony of being opened and remade – to have your who torn bloody from your what, and another crudely lashed into its place–”   

There is a rushing noise in his ears, drowning everything out, and he stumbles –

“–I did what I did because it was what I was supposed to do – I’m not sure I really recognize who I became–”   

see what i mean????? its COOL. scroll down to end notes and you see (for chapter 8) "- SO, [deep breath] Jon's dialogue for Chapter 8 comes from the statements in the following episodes, in order: MAG 057; 125; 029; 138; 159; 161; 143; 143 (again); 135; 027; 088; 148; 114; 114/139; 011; 094; 063; 069; 124; 020; 067; 060; 141; 160; 147; 091; 072/009/007/004; 066/020/010; 106/059; 101; 059; 004; 102; 004; 147; 160; 020; 144; 138; 107; 048/007; 128/138; 126; 062/087/007/139/070/049; 123; 065; 092/145; 086/029; 044/012/049; 137/009/014; 091; 123; 148; 154; 154 (again); 098; 154; 129; 155; 167; 159; 057; 113; 124/057/009/143/011/017/005; 152; 152 (again); 097; 028; 023; 065; 155; 117; 117 (again); 155; 006; 113; 117 (x4); 128; 128 (again); 045/002; 016; 036/109/135; 048; 052/136/090; 124; 069; 098; 133; 058; 140; AAAAND FINALLY: 010." SO COOL???? AND OH MY GOD ALL THAT EFFORT.

A Mag a Day Day 13: Episode 012, First Aid

@a-mag-a-day me, @ Gerry Keay statements:

Moving on…. This is a nice creepy story, sort of has the feel of the first episode again. Less psychological, more Joe Spooky ™️. I like the pacing and I like how it unfolds, and I appreciate that it doesn’t go into so much detail about the injuries that it takes away from the narrative. Good balance.

The story of this image by the Serbian Jupiter Ovpstren in YWAMag is unbelievable. I’m gonna explain... Right after my text of the 20 June 2 023 with the reblog of a 2 019 Peter Solarz’ text about me and YWAMag, my text explaining the Tumblr boycott on me, my wife and partner Anne Pangolin Guéno and the mag in spite of our high artistic level and all I have been doing for art here and elsewhere since 2 008, Peter was on the Tumblr radar again, as it happened three or four times in the last years. Being on this radar or in its variation, “Tumblr Today”, brings a lot of likes, reblogs and follows. These things are not just “web glory”, for professional artists like me, web glory can bring money. Thus, obviously, political boycott “unbrings” money. A few days after (27 June 2 023), it’s Jupiter’s image which was on Tumblr Today, which brought the image one of the main amounts of likes and reblogs EVER in the mag, that’s to say since 2 015 on Tumblr - I’ll remind that the mag is a daily publication and has had more than 50 000 selections on Tumblr for hundreds of artists. It’s the FIRST IMAGE OR IMAGE OF VISUAL ARTWORK EVER among my thousands of pictures posted on my two personal Tumblrs  since 2 012, the few hundreds of posts of Anne (painter and designer) and the selections of YWAMag on Radar or Tumblr Today which is not a mosque image. Funny, or something else. Basile Pesso, YWAMag director since 2 014

Thought Dump #012

later ko nalang siguro sagutin yung sa nireblog kong ask. medyo wala ako sa tamang head space ngayon, parang lutang ako. haha.

nga pala, bago mag 12mid kagabi nag stop na ko sa series na pinapanuod ko, though gusto ko sana tapusin kaso ayaw ko na nga magpuyat. so I dunno baka past 12 tulog na ko. tsaka ako lang ba? mas madali ako nakakatulog sa right side ko kesa when i’m facing left, or baka kasi nasa left side ko yung phone ko so much better kung i-face ko right side ko. haha. tas medyo maaga din ako nagising ngayon, mga 9am. pero feeling ko kulang tulog ko, kaya siguro feeling ko lutang ako. haha.

ang boring ng paligid ko simula pag gising. siguro kasi dahil ang gloomy rin ng weather. sobrang tahimik tuloy. di rin ako mapakali na labas pasok sa loob at labas ng bahay kasi wala naman nga akong magawa. lowbatt din kasi yung phone ko at naka charge.

parang gusto ko tuloy lumabas nalang, tumambay at mag muni muni habang nag kakape, pero that means gastos. though less than 200 lang naman yung inoorder kong drink sa Starbucks. chance ko narin para makapag me time, kaso wala naman na din ako ibang gagawin.

pero pwede rin pala bumili na rin ako ng hair colorant sa hortaleza para makulayan ko narin 'tong buhok ko, bilis kasi ng tubo, nakalitaw na naman yung itim sa roots ko amp. kaso gastos nga.

grabe parang isang pitik nalang yung 500 ngayon, samantalang dati nung walwal days ko yung isang libo napapaabot ko ng isang linggo, kung saan saan pa ko nakakarating non. shuta. 500 nalang kasi afford kong gastusin ngayon, kung hindi ko cocontrolin sarili ko, baka wala pang katapusan ubos na yung nakatabing pera ko galing sa last pay ko. hays.

naiisip ko rin tuloy yung mga inaanak kong mamamasko, wala na naman akong mabibigay. haha. 2019 pa ata huli akong nakapag bigay sakanila, buti na nga lang hindi rin pumupunta yung mga malalayo, apat lang ata laging namamasko sakin taon taon kasi mga kapitbahay ko lang. tataguan ko nalang siguro haha.

okay sana yung tatay ko kung hindi siya lasinggero at mahilig manumbat e. yun lang naman kinakainis ko sakanya. wala lang, parang halos lahat kasi ng kapitbahay namin binabati siya. alam niyo yung kaibigan ng lahat ganon. lalo mga bata, close na close sakanya, parang turing sakanya lahat ng mga bata dito totoong lolo nila.

kaya iniisip ko tuloy, siguro pag nagka anak kami ni joemar —though di talaga namin pinaplano — mas magiging okay yung relationship naming mag ama, pero for sure, kung magka anak man kami, malamang dun lalaki yun sa Bicol kasi mas maraming pwede mag alaga dun. I dunno.

ayun so, bukas nalang siguro ako lalabas or sa Sunday, depende kung kelan iinom yung tatay ko. kaso pag weekends kasi nakakatamad lumabas kasi ang dami namang tao sa mall. mas okay talaga pag weekdays mag me time. bahala na. birthday rin kasi ng pinsan ko bukas, before ako mag deactivate may pinaplano sana kami, ewan ko kung matutuloy. kapitbahay ko lang naman sila, pupuntahan nalang ako ng mga yun kung sakaling may ganap. yun lang

MARDI 23 AOÛT 2022 (Billet 1 / 3)

Dans la catégorie des Riads à Marrakech que nous aimerions bien louer un jour (avant notre ultime lieu de résidence, espérons « céleste »), en famille ou avec des amis, ou les deux mélangés… le « RIAD YASMINE » est assez séduisant.

On pourrait même envier le parcours de ces deux jeunes toulonnais. En lisant le petit article ci-dessous, nous sommes persuadés que leur aventure ne laissera pas indifférente une bonne partie de nos lecteurs/abonnés.

________________________________

« RIAD YASMINE »

À Marrakech, un paradis vert de huit chambres au cœur de la cité ocre

En novembre 2015, Alice et Gabriel, originaires de Toulon, s'installaient à Marrakech pour reprendre un Riad familial laissé à l'abandon. Quelques mois de travaux et une vision précise de leur futur établissement auront été nécessaires pour créer le « Riad Yasmine », havre de douceur à l'abri de l'effervescence de la médina.

LE FIGARO. - Pourquoi avoir changé de pays une nouvelle fois ?

Tout n'a été qu'une question d'opportunité. Le père de Gabriel a acheté ce Riad en 2002, pensant ­passer une partie de sa retraite au ­Maroc. Mais la vie en a décidé autrement et il l'a finalement confié à un gérant pour l'exploiter comme maison d'hôtes. Cela n'a pas fonctionné, le Riad est tombé en décrépitude et il souhaitait le vendre. De ­notre côté, nous avions toujours ce rêve d'ouvrir un établissement hôtelier. L'envie de quitter la France et de créer une vie ailleurs, de préférence en Asie, était très forte. Ce n'était donc pas exactement le plan initial, mais l'occasion était trop belle ! Nous avons eu une discussion au printemps 2015, puis avons rapidement démissionné de nos jobs dans la restauration et la communication. Six mois plus tard, nous nous installions à Marrakech.

Qu'est-ce qui vous séduit au Maroc ?

Nous y étions déjà allés trois fois pour du tourisme, mais nous ­n'avions jamais envisagé de nous installer. Pourtant, l'expatriation y est très facile. Pour la proximité géographique avec la France d'une part, pour la compréhension de la langue d'autre part. Marrakech est pleine de paradoxes : la vie est intense, il y a de la circulation, de la pollution, ça grouille… Et en même temps, les gens sont tellement accueillants qu'il y a une grande douceur dans les échanges quotidiens. Nous nous sommes constitué une nouvelle ­famille, d'abord avec les expatriés, puis avec les Marocains dans un ­second temps. Aujourd'hui, la ville est devenue notre village et ce Riad notre foyer. Nous avons maintenant une petite fille, Billie, et notre chat Bowie, la mascotte de la maison.

Quelle est la French touch du « Riad Yasmine » ?

Elle est volontairement très discrète. Évidemment, nous sommes français donc certaines influences se retrouvent ici et là, mais nous avons voulu nous intégrer aussi vite que possible, sans marquer de différence culturelle. Nous avons appris nos premiers mots d'arabe au marché aux ­légumes, nous connaissons tous les commerçants du quartier et vivons au même rythme qu'eux. La décoration de notre Riad a été conçue avec des artisans locaux, les plantes qui composent notre petite jungle sont typiques et le fond de ­notre piscine est orné de signes berbères. Même dans la cuisine, nous n'avons pas souhaité imposer notre culture : nous servons des spécialités marocaines pour tout le monde ! D'ail­leurs, nos hôtes sont majoritairement anglophones, que ce soit au Riad ou au « Petit Yasmine », notre nouvelle maison de trois chambres situées juste à côté de son grand frère. L'aventure ne fait que commencer.

À partir de 130 € la nuit pour 2 personnes, petits déjeuners inclus.

Ok, fuck it !!

I have fucking tried ten themes to change mine that had worked since 2 012.

Yesterday the Tumblr bug (because yes it’s one !) that creates white spaces around the images and that forces us to post with their new buggy editor appeared here. I don’t know how to do any coding. It‘s my delightful wife and collaborator who had made my codes here and for the mag and as I don’t even try to speak to her directly as she’s mute since her disappearance one year and 10 months ago I won‘t post new images here, not more than on my 2nd Tumblr whose theme also doesn’t fit.

I’ll do reblogs. My Instagram worked well but Anne took our mobile phone and IG stopped working without smartphones, so I had to leave my 3 300 followers and many important work contacts there, as I don’t have enough money to buy a smartphone - and anyway I don’t like smartphones. I opened a Flickr one month ago but photographers there, though often masterful, are totally conformist and absolutely don’t get shit to my photography, my scores are absolutely pathetic, I could comment a lot to be noticed but I don’t want to do this, to fish the rare non-confo photographers there. I have limits about the absence of respect to my work.

Well, I love this, thanks again Anne, you’re a marvel. Every day shows it !

[pumpkin-in-a-pear-tree]

Man I forgot how insane episode twelve is. There's AT LEAST two entities at play there, I would argue that it also has some big lonely vibes, and I bet a case could also be made for corruption too- And this is episode TWELVE! No one had ANY idea what was going on by episode TWELVE! Wild!!
