~ essay navigation ~

Have you ever thought to yourself, "Anya's essays are interesting in theory, but I really don't wanna read ALL of it! I just wanna read the analysis of my favorite parts!" or maybe "I DID read all of Anya's essays but now I wanna reread one specific thing she talked about and I can't remember which post it was in because there's too many of them!" ? Me too! Don't even worry about it! Today I am addressing those issues with a TABLE OF CONTENTS!

This is for essay parts AND in-depth character questions related to GA that I've answered. I get a LOT of questions about GA's ending and thus I feel like I've talked about it exhaustively. This is how I make it all digestible. <3 Love ya!

HÃY VUI Ở TUỔI VÀNG VÌ ĐÓ CHÍNH LÀ TUỔI TUYỆT VỜI NHẤT!

Người ta nói đúng. Mình đang ở tuổi nào thì đó là cái tuổi đẹp nhất, không thể có tuổi nào đẹp hơn! Một người 40 mà cứ tiếc mãi tuổi 20 của mình, một người 60 mà tiếc mãi tuổi 40 thì đến 75 họ sẽ tiếc mãi tuổi 60…. thật là đáng thương!

Tôi nay ở tuổi 80. Thực lòng…. đang tiếc mãi tuổi 75 ! Thấy những bạn trẻ… trên dưới bảy mươi mà “gato!” Mới vài năm thôi mà mọi thứ đảo ngược cả rồi. Bây giờ có vẻ như tôi đang lùi dần về lại tuổi ấu thơ, tuổi chập chững, tuổi nằm nôi….

Vòng đời rất công bằng. Chỉ còn cách tủm tỉm cười một mình mà thôi!

Cái tuổi đẹp nhất của đời người theo tôi có lẽ ở vào lứa 65-75. Đó là lứa tuổi tuyệt vời nhất, sôi nổi nhất, hào hứng nhất….Tuổi vừa đủ chín tới, có thể rửa tay gác kiếm, tuyệt tích giang hồ, “nợ tang bồng trang trắng vỗ tay reo” (NCT), nhưng cũng là tuổi có thể lại vướng víu, đa đoan nhiều nỗi, để một hôm ngậm ngùi ta là ai mà còn khi giấu lệ/ ta là ai mà còn trần gian thế? (TCS)

Nhớ hồi ở tuổi 55, mới hườm hườm, tôi ngẫm ngợi, ngắm nghía mình rồi lẩn thẩn viết Gió heo may đã về. Đến 60 thì viết Già ơi… chào bạn! như một reo vui, đến 75 còn…. ráng viết Già sao cho sướng?… để sẻ chia cùng bè bạn đồng bệnh tương lân. Nhưng 80 thì thôi vậy.

Đã đến lúc phải “Về thu xếp lại…”, bởi “chút nắng vàng giờ đây cũng vội”… rồi đó thôi!

Chu trình “khép kín” đó bắt đầu tăng tốc ở lứa 65-75 tuổi. Tăng tốc khô héo, tăng tốc nhăn nheo. Sự tăng tốc của lứa tuổi này cũng làm ta há hốc, muốn kêu lên kinh ngạc… như ở tuổi dậy thì, tuổi mới lớn. Cái vòng đời nó diễn biến tuyệt vời đến vậy, liên tục đổi thay đến vậy thì có gì đáng phàn nàn đâu! Nhiều bạn cùng lứa than với tôi sao thế này sao thế khác, tôi thường chỉ nói “Ai biểu già chi?” rồi cười xòa với nhau mà không khỏi có chút…. ngậm ngùi.

Một anh bạn nói: “Cũng phải chăm nom đến thân thể nữa chứ, hãy thương nó một chút. Cho nó ăn với. Cho nó nghỉ với. Đó là con lừa kéo xe của ta, nếu không cho nó ăn, nó nghỉ, nó sẽ bỏ rơi mình ngang xương giữa đường cho mà coi”.

Từ ngày biết thương “con lừa” của mình hơn, tử tế với nó hơn, thì có vẻ tôi… cũng khác tôi xưa. Tôi biết cho con lừa của mình ăn khi đói, không ép nó ăn lúc đang no, không cần phải cười cười nói nói trong lúc ăn. Món gì khoái khẩu thì ăn, chay mặn gì cũng tốt. Cá khô, mắm ruốc gì cũng được, miễn là đừng nhiều muối quá, đừng nhiều mỡ quá!

Mỗi người có đồng hồ sinh học của riêng mình. Không ai giống ai. Như vân tay, như mống mắt vậy. Cho nên không cần bắt chước. Chỉ cần lắng nghe mình. Phương pháp này, phương pháp nọ của người này người kia bày vẽ chẳng qua cũng chỉ để tham khảo. Nắm lấy nguyên tắc chung thôi, rồi áp dụng vào hoàn cảnh riêng cụ thể của mình, tính cách mình, sinh lý mình. Phương pháp nào có sự ép buộc cứng ngắc thì phải cảnh giác!

Thời tôi học y khoa được học tế bào thần kinh không thể sinh sản, mất là mất luôn, hư hỏng thì không thể tự sửa được, không như tế bào ở các mô khác. Ngày nay người ta biết có khoảng 100 tỷ neuron thần kinh và 100 nghìn tỷ kết nối giữa chúng, nhưng thật ra não bộ còn rất nhiều điều bí ẩn chưa thể biết hết. Khoa học ngày nay tiến bộ, cho thấy tế bào thần kinh chẳng những rất nhu nhuyến (plasticity), có khả năng tự thích nghi, tự điều chỉnh mà còn có thể sinh sản tế bào mới (neurogenesis). Chúng có thể kết nối tự bên trong, hoán chuyển vị trí… chứ không phải tập trung từng khu vực cứng ngắc như ngày xưa đã tưởng. Khả năng thay đổi và thích nghi này của não không bị mất đi, tuy khi có tuổi thì các khả năng nhận thức, ngôn ngữ, trí nhớ, suy luận cũng kém đi theo tiến trình chung. Nghiên cứu gần đây cho thấy ở tuổi 80 não bộ vẫn còn tiếp tục tạo nên những con đường mới nối kết bên trong nên vẫn phát triển được.

Bây giờ thời đại cái gì cũng “thông minh” đáng ngại. Không lâu nữa, chắc con người sẽ có đủ “tam minh lục thông” chăng ? Tam minh là Túc mạng minh (biết rõ kiếp trước của mình), thiên nhãn minh (biết rõ… kiếp sau của mình), lậu tận minh (dứt tất cả lậu hoặc); lục thông gồm thiên nhãn thông, thiên nhĩ thông, tha tâm thông, thần túc thông,…

Từ ngày có trang web riêng mình, do một bạn trẻ giúp cho, tôi bận bịu với nó nhiều hơn. Rồi nhờ nó mà tôi lần mò học cách post bài, đưa hình ảnh, chỉnh sửa tùm lum… Nó giúp tôi như quên ngày tháng, quên đi những buổi mai buổi chiều buổi trưa buổi tối… Nhưng cũng nhờ nó, tôi mở rộng việc học hỏi, mở rộng giao tiếp, thấy quả đất chỉ còn là một hòn bi xanh trong lòng bàn tay… Và chiếc điện thoại thông minh cũng giúp mình nhiều việc, dù thực tế nhiều lúc thấy nó thiệt là… ngu!

Mắt kém, đọc mỏi, tôi bắt đầu ít đọc báo, ít xem TV – ngày trước, mỗi ngày ngốn chục tờ báo là thường! Nay chỉ đọc lướt qua cái tựa là xong. Thời đại cần cái gì, gõ gõ vài cái có người đưa tới tận nhà! Hy vọng không lâu nữa, họ gởi các thứ qua mạng, bấm nút in ba chiều, muốn gì cũng có… Nghe nói người ta đã có thể “fax” một con người từ nơi này sang nơi khác…. giúp ta không phải đợi chờ lâu! Máy móc, kỹ thuật, phương tiện nghe nhìn ngày càng chiếm ngụ trong ta, “thay mãi đời ta”…👍 🥰

Casteldaccia: 55° anniversario dell'uccisione del Carabiniere Scelto Orazio Costantino

Casteldaccia: 55° anniversario dell'uccisione del Carabiniere Scelto Orazio Costantino. Ricorreva il 55° anniversario della morte del Carabiniere Scelto Orazio Costantino nato nel 1931 a Castroreale Terme (ME), Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare alla Memoria, ucciso a Casteldaccia in contrada Fiorilli, mentre, in servizio, fronteggiava due estorsori. La cerimonia ha reso onore al sacrificio del militare eroe con la deposizione di un mazzo di fiori ai piedi del cippo eretto in onore del caduto in via Carlo Cattaneo – Largo Costantino Orazio di Casteldaccia, e di una corona di alloro in contrada Fiorilli, luogo della uccisione del decorato. Alla celebrazione sono intervenuti i familiari del militare, il Generale di Brigata Luciano Magrini, Comandante Provinciale Carabinieri Palermo, il Sindaco di Casteldaccia, l'On. Giovanni Di Giacinto, i Comandanti del Gruppo Carabinieri di Monreale e della Compagnia di Bagheria, il Ten. Col. Giulio Modesti e il Magg. Francesco Battaglia, nonché il Tenente Alessia Penge, Comandante del Nucleo Operativo E Radiomobile di Bagheria, insieme inoltre all'Ispettore Regionale dell'Associazione Nazionale Carabinieri "Sicilia" Ignazio Buzzi accompagnato da una rappresentanza di militari in congedo. Durante la cerimonia si è data lettura della vita del decorato e della motivazione dell'alta onorificenza concessa, seguita da un momento di toccante preghiera celebrato da Mons. Vincenzo Manzella Vescovo emerito di Cefalù. Il ricordo del militare ha unito tutti i presenti, come sottolineato anche dallo stesso Generale Luciano Magrini che, nelle sue parole, ha evidenziato l'importanza del sacrificio del decorato che innanzi al rischio della propria vita, senza esitazione alcuna, ha comunque manifestato quell'intrinseco legame ai più alti valori etici e morali. Per il gesto eroico compiuto al costo della vita, gli venne tributata la Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare alla memoria, con la seguente motivazione: "Addetto a squadra investigativa, già più volte distintosi in brillanti, coraggiose operazioni di servizio, partecipava volontariamente a rischiosa azione di appiattamento - su terreno impervio - per l'identificazione e l'arresto degli autori di tentata estorsione mediante lettera minatoria. Dopo dodici ore di snervante attesa, venutosi a trovare a diretto contatto con individuo che, armato di fucile da caccia, si accingeva a raccogliere il piego simulante la somma richiesta, con estrema decisione e cosciente sprezzo del pericolo, lo affrontava con l'arma in dotazione spianata al fine di impedirgli ogni possibilità di fuga. Raggiunto in pieno petto da micidiale scarica di pallettoni repentinamente esplosa dal malvivente, trovava la forza di reagire - seppur invano - con il fuoco del proprio moschetto finché, stremato dalle mortali ferite, si abbatteva al suolo. Domato nel corpo ma non nello spirito, prima di esalare l'ultimo respiro forniva ai commilitoni informazioni determinanti per la identificazione del reo. Luminoso esempio di sublime coraggio, attaccamento al dovere fino al supremo sacrificio ed elette virtù militari".... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

Blue Lock: AO3 statistics and fanfiction meta

Blue Lock (Manga) has more than 13,000 works on AO3! 🎉 The corresponding figure for Blue Lock (Anime) is about 7,900 or so.

Just under 230 works are tagged exclusively as Blue Lock (Anime), while there are just under 5,500 works tagged exclusively as Blue Lock (Manga). As expected, around 7,700 works are tagged under both fandoms.

I'm procrastinating today, so here's a high level analysis of the Blue Lock works on the platform. Given the low number of Blue Lock (Anime) exclusive works, I excluded these and reviewed only works that included the Blue Lock (Manga) tag. I didn't exclude crossovers, due to the aforementioned dual-tagging.

Firstly, here's the lowdown on pairings:

On the left: Works tagged under Blue Lock (Manga), without any additional filtering. NagiReo, KaiSagi and RinSagi nab the top three pairing placements, with NagiReo comfortably leading.

On the right: Same fandom tag, but inputting the search term "otp: true" into the "Search within results" field. This returns works with no more than one pairings tagged (i.e. excluding any works that have two or more pairings tagged). This includes any fics with no pairings tagged, platonic (&) or romantic/sexual (/). This filter yields approx. 8,600 works.

This doesn't affect the top three most-tagged pairings, but it reshuffles the other parings more significantly. For example: we can see that 55% of BachIsagi-tagged works feature other pairings, and it drops a ranking. KuniGiri-tagged works fare similarly, and the split is even more pronounced for RyuSae and NagiSagi.

KaiNess jump from 9th most tagged pairing overall to 5th most tagged amongst fics that only tag one pairing—lapping Kunigiri, and potentially an indicator of a recent boom in works for this pairing. The controversial RinSae goes up one place in the rankings under this filter.

The two searches show that nine pairings remain on top, regardless of whether works tag them in tandem with other pairings or tag them as solo. However, Isagi Yoichi/Everyone falls out of the rankings when the otp: true is applied. This is logical, given this pairing is frequently tagged alongside other Isagi slash tags. Filtering this way reveals that RyuRin is the tenth most tagged pairing in single-pairing works.

More discussion on pairings, ratings and tags, plus a comparison to others sports animanga under the cut!

It's also possible to use "otp: false" to show only fics with multiple (2+) relationship tags, which yields about 4,500 works. The results of this search are below:

Here, BachiSagi just about pips KaiSagi to round out the top three—but if trends persist, the number of KaiSagi works will soon grow at a higher rate, leaving the top three ships in the manga fandom undisputed.

Meanwhile, KaiNess and RinSae drop from the top ten, displaced by Nagi&Reo and Rin&Sae (platonic pairing tags). Not too surprising for the latter—due to taboo, works featuring RinSae tend to be standalone.

With KaiNess, it's simply that the two platonic tags are used more often in multi-pairing works, which makes sense given the relative recency of Kaiser and Ness's introduction, and the fact that they're still manga-only characters. A related search revealed KaiNess would most likely be the eleventh most-tagged pairing in multi-pairing works (296), followed by Bachira&Isagi (platonic pairing).

What about ratings, and the most popular non-pairing tags?

On the left: results for all Blue Lock (Manga) fandom works.

In the middle: results for Blue Lock (Manga) fandom works filtered by "otp: true".

On the right: results for Blue Lock (Manga) fandom works filtered by"otp: false".

To reiterate, the search feature just reports the most frequently occurring tags. Even the most common tag, Fluff, features on only around 15% of works.

There's not too much divergence caused by filtering. One observation is that filtering by "otp: true" returns a higher ratio of explicit works—this is supported by the tags that appear in that respective top ten.

Overall, the most popular tags in Blue Lock works are Fluff, Angst, "No Blue Lock" and "Canon Divergent" AUs, and Established Relationship... not to mention, good ol' reliable buttsecs.

Although not a rigorous (read: percentage tested) exercise, I compared these results to the most frequently occurring tags in other sports animanga fandoms in AO3 with the following observations:

Free! works have higher incidences of Romance, Smut, PWP and Friendship tags than Blue Lock does 🏊‍♂️

Haikyuu!! didn't have any sex-adjacent tags in its top 10, but otherwise reported similar trends to Blue Lock. One exception is a notably high incidence of the "Friends to Lovers" tag 🏐

Yuri!!! on Ice has a frequently occurring fandom specific tag ("Character's Name Spelled as Viktor"), and in additions featured "A/B/O dynamics" among its top 10 most common tags. Otherwise, it most resembles Free! in tagging trends ⛸️

SK8 the Infinity meanwhile mirrors Haikyuu!! in terms of frequently occurring tags, although with more common incidences of "Anal Sex" and "Post Canon" 🛹

In short, nearly all sports animanga including Blue Lock report high incidences of the following tags:

Fluff (and/or) Angst

Established Relationship

Alternative Universe (various)

Hurt/Comfort.

This doesn't tell us a whole lot, given these are popular tags for nearly every fandom. However, they are trailed in popularity by the tags Getting Together, Romance, Smut, PWP, and Friends to Lovers. These are more indicative of the shipping culture in sports animanga, including the fact that character relationships in these fandoms are generally pre-established.

As for ratings, It's hard to make a judgement on whether Blue Lock (Manga) works lean more towards a universal or teen readership, or towards being more mature/explicit in nature. This is due to a high incidence of "Not rated" works. Works may be categorised as "Not rated" for any number of reasons: authors avoiding spoilers, authors relying on tags for identification, or authors not knowing how to categorise their own work, or even opting not to categorise an ongoing fic because they are yet to decide the direction of the work.

That said, filtering by "Not rated" alone didn't yield a higher incidence of explicit tags, like filtering by "otp: true" did. So there's limited evidence that "Not rated" fics trend towards mature or explicit content in excess of general trends. All the same, where in doubt, it's best to refer to a work's additional tags to assess its content, as the rating may not always make this clear.

A long read, catering to a niche audience (read: my nerdy ass) but if you've made it this far, I hope you found it of interest!

Primera lectura

Lectura del primer libro de Samuel 18,6-9;19,1-7

En aquellos días, cuando David regresaba de haber matado al filisteo, las mujeres de todos los poblados salieron a recibir al rey Saúl, danzando y cantando al son de tambores y panderos, y dando grandes gritos de alegría. Al danzar, las mujeres cantaban a coro:“Mató Saúl a mil, pero David a diez mil”.A Saúl le cayeron muy mal esas palabras y se enojó muchísimo y comentó: “A David le atribuyen diez mil, y a mí tan sólo mil. Lo único que le falta es ser rey”. Desde entonces, Saúl miraba a David con rencor.Un día, Saúl comunicó a su hijo Jonatán y a sus servidores que había decidido matar a David. Pero Jonatán quería mucho a David y le dijo a éste: “Mi padre Saúl trata de matarte. Cuídate, pues, mucho, mañana por la mañana. Retírate a un lugar seguro y escóndete. Yo saldré con mi padre por el campo donde tú estés y le hablaré de ti; veré qué piensa y te lo avisaré”.Habló entonces Jonatán a su padre en favor de David y le dijo: “No hagas daño, señor mío, a tu siervo David, pues él no te ha hecho ningún mal, sino grandes servicios. Arriesgó su vida para matar al filisteo, con lo cual el Señor dio una gran victoria a todo Israel. Tú mismo lo viste y te alegraste. ¿Por qué, pues, quieres hacerte reo de sangre inocente, matando a David sin motivo?” Al oír esto, se aplacó Saúl y dijo: “Juro por Dios que David no morirá”.Entonces Jonatán llamó a David y le contó lo sucedido. Luego lo condujo ante Saúl, y David continuó a su servicio, como antes.

Palabra de Dios

Salmo Responsorial

Sal 56 (55), 2-3.9-10.11-12.13

R./ En el Señor confío y nada temo.

Tenme piedad, Señor, porque me acosan, me persiguen y atacan todo el día; me pisan sin cesar mis enemigos; innumerables son los que me hostigan. R./ En el Señor confío y nada temo.

Toma en cuenta, Señor, todos mis pasos y recoge mis lágrimas. Que cuando yo te invoque, el enemigo se bata en retirada. R./ En el Señor confío y nada temo.

Yo sé bien que el Señor está conmigo; por eso en Dios, cuya promesa alabo, sin temor me confío. ¿Qué hombre ha de poder causarme daño? R./ En el Señor confío y nada temo.

Evangelio

Lectura del santo evangelio según San Marcos 3,7-12

En aquel tiempo, Jesús se retiró con sus discípulos a la orilla del mar, seguido por una muchedumbre de galileos. Una gran multitud, procedente de Judea y Jerusalén, de Idumea y Transjordania y de la parte de Tiro y Sidón, habiendo tenido noticias de lo que Jesús hacía, se trasladó a donde él estaba.Entonces rogó Jesús a sus discípulos que le consiguieran una barca para subir en ella, porque era tanta la multitud, que estaba a punto de aplastarlo.En efecto, Jesús había curado a muchos, de manera que todos los que padecían algún mal, se le echaban encima para tocarlo. Cuando los poseídos por espíritus inmundos lo veían, se echaban a sus pies y gritaban: “Tú eres el Hijo de Dios”. Pero Jesús les prohibía que lo manifestaran.
