Favorite Pokémon Trainer of Each Type Meme

When I went looking for some Pokémon Memes, I always find stuff like "Favorite Pokémon of Each Type", but never "Favorite Pokémon TRAINER of Each Type", so I decided to change one and turn it into that because trainers also deserves to shine

What about you people ? Who is your favorite trainer for each type ? Let me know ; I'm curious.

[celestiall0tus]

Who are all the characters in your new banner? I'm really curious about that peacock girl, because, as far as I'm aware we haven't seen a female peacock with loose hair that wasn't covered (that last part refers to Erinona)

Well, since you asked

Let's run through them. Starting with the main row from left to right:

Volpina, Mouse!Luka, Court of Miracles!Adrien, the middle with my self sona are past OCs called Roxanne, Rose, and Night, Siren, Delphyne, and an OC from my original work Vanguard known as Demon.

Top row from left to right:

Souris Blanche, Faerie, Velze, Peacock!Marinette, and Hope.

Bottom three from left to right:

Void, Absolution!Papillon, and Court of Miracles!Luka

Meg's (unnamed) Post Canon AU: What Happened To The Bosses?

As fits my personal Post Canon AU, everybody lived. Yes, even the ones who exploded on camera. They did all end up hospitalized: Some in rougher physical condition than others.

Figuring out legal repercussions is making my brain melt, partly because we don't know ANYTHING about Vandelay Island's legal system. (And the fact we have carte blanche when it comes to world building based on the Game Maker's Notebook interview.) My first thought was that there'd be a trial, but after some brief research I'm shelving that.

What I am confident about is taking a rehabilitation approach with the bosses. (I don't have any interest in writing a prison fic, and this is personally more enjoyable for me.)

Once the old bosses recovered from their injuries, they agreed to an arrangement consisting of electronic monitoring, community service, and fines. Another element to this is that the bosses are prohibited from communicating with each other.

Roxanne keeps the old bosses employed at Vandelay Technologies. (Albeit in lower ranked positions.) This stems less from altruism and more from pragmatism because the company needs all the help it can get to rebuild.

With that established, character specific details are listed below. 👇

Rekka ⚡: Production Supervisor. Does physical tasks and event organizing. Required to take anger management classes. She let Chai keep her belt because he earned it. Overall, Rekka is handling things like a BOSS.

Zanzo 🍍: Associate Engineer under Macaron's watchful eye. For the first few months, Zanzo attempted to be a good worker in hopes of regaining some of his Creative Freedom. His community service is web and graphic design for local small businesses, but it doesn't scratch the same itch as building a robot. Bribed a TEC-78 to install a temporal displacement device on the arcade machine so Chai could receive his gift basket. Had to pay his parking tickets and enroll in a financial management course. Zanzo... struggles for a while.

Mimosa 🍹: Social Media Account Manager. She was assigned to the Vandelay Island Community Theater for her service, and became an assistant acting coach at a community theater. (I referenced this in my post about Violet, my self insert OC. But not with this much detail). Mimosa flies no more- the explosion totaled her wings. Despite some bumps along the way, she is doing okay.

Roquefort 🐺: Senior Accountant. Provides financial counseling for Vandelay staff (besides Zanzo) + organizing fundraising events as community service. Also required to take anger management classes. Inhibitor installed to prevent him wolfing out. (Which can't POSSIBLY be overridden 😉) You think Roquefort has a contingency plan?

Kale ☕: For humor, Kale's new job is making coffee in the Café because the machine is STILL broken. (Who knows, he might even enjoy it sometimes.) He got more say with community service, as he volunteers at a pet clinic. (OC & Canon specific - As they serve on different days, Kale and Violet haven't crossed paths. YET.) Frustrated that his SPECTRA AI backup plan fell through. He doesn't have a plan C… as far as anyone knows.

Not everyone on Vandelay Island is content with this outcome. Certain characters believe the punishment dealt isn't harsh enough for the crime. Some may be plotting vengeance from the shadows… 😱

[tigertaurus22]

So I made an AU/possible future story in the FNAF timeline called FNAF: Legacy, formerly Fazbear Girls.

In it, the Glamrocks are recovered from the destroyed Mega PizzaPlex and all their data downloaded into custom-made persocom bodies. They go on to become mentors to their successors and managerial staff at the new location, dubbed simply as the Fazbear Pizza Plex or FPP.

Their offices are on the third floor

They are all given full names as well

Glamrock Freddy is now Alfred Lorenzo Fazbear and serves as Head Manager of the location. He is also Winnifred’s mentor.

Roxanne Wolf is given the middle name of Grey and the position of Head of Dayshift Security. Vanessa works under her as a deputy.

Glamrock Chica is renamed Regina Blanche Chicken and given the position of Customer Care Executive. She is in charge of helping Fazbear Entertainment develop and maintain strong relationships with customers and clients. She also helps out in the kitchens from time to time, ensuring customers get the best quality food the staff can provide.

The Houses Dorms Be Like:

Gryffindor: *the Gryffindorks making noise again*

Beatrice: I can only guess they're– *looks down to the Common Room* yup. There they are.

Slytherin: *Cecilia and Aloysius arguing in the background and duelling each other constantly*

Ernest: If I can even think during the OWLS I'll consider it a miracle.

Hufflepuff: *hears noise up there*

Blanche, sitting on a red Lyle's lap: ...Anyways, and then the guy came and boom! The dragon went mad.

Jesse: It's a wonder those Gryffindor boys are alive at all...

Ravenclaw: *hears distinct noises*

Roxanne: *sighs* Here we go again

Niamh: I guess that's what we can expect from those misfits.

Siobhan: I can only imagine how much fun they're having!

Nadia: In times like these I'm thankful that my future husband is not in Gryffindor.

*a deaf noise is heard all over the castle. A scream fills the halls*

Almira: What was that?!

Primrose: *not looking from her book* I'm sure it's just Teddy tormenting that poor professor again. Or maybe Cecilia sending Aloysius again flying. Anyways, it's not really my concern and I'm getting to the interesting part.

Niamh: You're spending too much time with Laurent.

CHAPTER SEVEN

"O-oh…" Blanching yet more, Roxanne rubbed the back of her neck. "You weren't, um, supposed to see any of that. My friend helps me with modding and camera set up and stuff sometimes. We just had a disagreement."

'About me? I can go.' Friend, huh? She was taken. Of course she was; a girl this gorgeous wouldn't be single for long unless it was by choice.

"Wait, wait, you…" She sighed. "He left. You're fine, it doesn't matter. But you might wanna find some other girl to watch, I doubt it's much fun to watch me cry."

Elsa bit her lip, considering her response. How could she cheer this poor girl up? Deciding to just go for it, she told her, 'I would watch you cry into a pint of Ben and Jerry's for hours. Don't worry about that.'

"Right," she half-laughed, half-sobbed. "Th-that's entertainment." They were both quiet for a moment. Elsa started to type something when the girl whispered, "I'm sorry. He normally doesn't… get jealous. But…"

'But what?'

"You and me were talking like friends. He could tell I wasn't hamming it up and trying to get you to empty your wallet like I normally do. But isn't that stupid?" she burst out with a huge shrug. "I mean, you already paid! Duh! So if you wanted to just hang out, why's it matter?"

That one was easy. 'Because he knows those guys you ham it up for aren't a threat to your relationship. I might be.'

"Oh really?" she asked with a slight smile. "Gonna sweep me off my feet?"

'I would love to.'

'But I meant that he must be insecure about it if he got this upset over nothing.'

Though Roxanne had still been smiling at the first message, she deflated at the second. "Right. Overprotective boyfriend… it's a cliche for a reason, I guess." She squirmed, indecisive. "You know… it's not… real likely that I'm gonna date someone I met this way, don't you?"

Elsa could see the conflict in her shimmering teal eyes. She still wanted her money, but couldn't bring herself to lie to get it. Didn't lead her on. 'I know.'

"Then why… are you being so nice? Like, it's literally my job to be a slutty tease."

'I know that too. C'mon I wasn't born yesterday.'

"Good, cuz this site has age restrictions." They both laughed, even if only one of them could hear the other. "Thanks, though. You sure you don't want to see? I mean, I've been told I have a perfect pussy. Perfect ass, too, if that's what you're into."

Trying not to overheat at just those things being mentioned, she typed, 'Do you mean ass or ass hole? Because I can clearly see you have the first one.'

"Awww, thanks, Mountie," she laughed.

'But I don't even know what the second one means. Aren't those all kind of the same?'

"You would think so," she began conversationally. "Like, I've seen some pretty narsty ones in the business. Then there's ones you can tell have just literally been fucked a million times; like, I dunno how to describe it, but like, wow. And some girls bleach them and all that."

Making a face, she typed, 'So I've heard. No thank you.' Then she thought a moment before adding, 'On you OR me.'

Grinning from ear to ear, she laughed, "I appreciate you looking out for my anal health, man." Elsa snorted. "But I could still show you my perfect ass if you want a demonstration? Like, just so you know what one looks like."

'You're going to show me your ass… as an example? Like so I can compare all asses to yours in the future?'

"Sure! I mean, I'll have to end VIP time after this; we're already way past how long you paid for. But fuck it."

This was a difficult call. She wanted to end the session without badgering Roxanne into showing her anything… but she wasn't. This was an offer, which was quite different. Besides, as she said, they had to end the session soon anyway. Maybe it was kinder to let this happen and enjoy the show.

'You're on. But only if you feel comfortable.'

Even before the girl responded, she knew she had said something stupid. Roxanne laughed and shook her head. "This is my job, remember? Who's uncomfortable?!"

And then she began to turn on the bed. Poor Elsa already felt her pulse skyrocketing upward as she saw those gorgeous, firm cheeks come into view. This had been a mistake. Why did she agree to this? Why didn't she just tell Roxanne it was fine and they could do it some other time? Or that she didn't want to?

Because she did want to see more. She just didn't want to be sleazy; she wanted to earn the chance to be with her. Silly since that was obviously not in the cards.

"Haaaappy New Yeeeeeeaaar," she cooed as she tugged one very specific area aside.

It was perfect. Even though Elsa had mostly thought she was joking, she couldn't deny that tiny little pink asterisk did bring that very word to mind; she couldn't imagine another one more perfect than this one. Whether or not she found that attractive was another matter, but she would have to decide that later.

"Hey - take a screenshot. Go on. Might as well for later, right?" Then she giggled. "What am I saying? You probably know this stuff."

'You're sure?' Meanwhile, Elsa was trying to remember if she even knew HOW to take a screenshot on a laptop. Phones were easy.

"Yeah, man! My butt's all yours, you paid, like… go for it! Not like my face is even in the shot, anyway."

A fair point. Right then, she saw the "Prt Sc" key and remembered that was its purpose. Or so she hoped. She hit it and then typed, 'Got it. Thank you so much, even if I'm not sure how I feel about it.'

"All good. And hey, next time, if you still want there to be one…" She teased a finger over her cloth-shouded crotch - before sitting down and turning to grin at her. "Sorry. I'm not trying to upsell you, just get you more comfortable and stuff. You've been so cool today."

'You're cool every day. I'll see you soon.'

"Bye, Mountie!"

And then Elsa closed the browser, set her laptop aside… and went straight into the shower. For another thirty minutes.

                           To Be Continued…

Film directresses

What do we want and what do we need? Why is it so hard, sometimes, to be honest with one’s heart? How to build ourself on the acceptance of our desires?

Few days ago I was stunned by Rebecca Zlotowski’s last movie and her two protagonists, played by Mina Farid and Zahia Dehar. Une fille facile offers a reflection on women following (or learning to) their desire, working in order to gain freedom and affirm integrity, regardless of society’s appreciation. I admired their strength and their courage. Zlotowski invites us to look at women in a way that is deprived of moral jugdement (an important issue, I believe, in coming of age stories). Movies can be such a source of inspiration. And in a business that is mostly ruled by men, watching stories through a woman’s eyes is always quite an experience. Here’s a list of movies made by women.

Chronique fleuve : Cyrano de Bergerac sur une mise en scène de Jamie Lloyd avec dans le rôle-titre James McAvoy.

SPOILERS ALERT ! Ne lisez pas cette chronique si vous comptez voir la pièce !!! Ne vous gâchez pas la surprise ! ça serait vraiment dommage.

 19h15. Playhouse theatre, une salle prestigieuse et un lieu ancien qui fleure bon le 19ème siècle avec balcons néo-rococo, lustres dorés et coupole. Nous sommes en avance. On s'assoie dans la salle, 5ème rang au centre. Très bonne places. Le rideau est levé même si la scène est encore vide.

Le décor est un cube creux de simili béton. Du blanc peint à la truelle, des chaises en plastiques orange, quelques micros de concert sur pied avec leurs longs fils qui traînent au sol. L'impression de débarquer dans un squat d'artistes caché dans un sous-sol de banlieue.

Juste le temps de réaliser qu'on est bien là en vrai, à quelques instants d'assister à cet événement et la pièce commence. Les lumières s'allument, crues, blanches. Ils sont sur scène, lui n'est pas visible. Une douzaine d'actrices et d'acteurs de tous âges, aux looks bigarrés, punk, sportifs, sweat à capuche, baskets, salopettes et pantalons treillis. Quand ils parlent c'est à nous, les spectateurs. C'est un jeu de scène très original et au départ déroutant, rares seront les fois où les acteurs auront une conversation en se regardant dans les yeux. On va vite se rendre compte que cette étrange manière de tourner les dialogues a un pouvoir étonnant, celui de nous hypnotiser. Celui qui parle s'adresse à nous, qu'il soit agressif ou qu'il déclame la plus belle des déclaration d'amour, c'est à nous et à nous seul qu'il l'offre. L’impact est immédiat.

Le ton est tout de suite urbain, tout de suite provocateur. Il ne reste rien du texte d'Edmond Rostand, rien et tout puisque c'est l'âme à vif qui seule perdure, d'une stupéfiante modernité. Les joutes verbales commencent, on entend des bribes de beatbox.

Cyrano rentre en scène. Il n'a pas son nez. Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître : non, Cyrano n'a pas son nez, ce long nez, ce grand nez, cette péninsule que l'on attendait, n'est pas. Non Cyrano n'a pas son nez, mais il en porte néanmoins le poids et derrière les premières passe d'armes à coup de mots c'est bien l'ombre de ce nez que l'on sent roder. Le début est drôle, léger, on se moque, des uns, des autres, Cyrano est amoureux, il s'empare du micro et de la scène. Il frime, il fait tomber le blouson et reste en t-shirt noir, jeans et Caterpillar à gros lacets pour affronter à coup de mimes et de vers le ridicule Vavert. Il se pourlèche les babines, il anticipe les répliques, il s'amuse. Il sort victorieux, mais semble peu sûr de lui derrière sa bravade de guignol. Son ami le Bret l'interroge : - Tu es amoureux? - Oui de la belle Roxanne, mais je suis si laid, je n'ai aucune chance ! À le voir si charismatique on a, comme Le Bret, bien envie de le détromper. Survient un messager un peu benêt en survêtement, une bonne nouvelle : Roxanne l'a peut être remarqué, elle veut un rendez-vous. Cyrano est transporté de joie, on dirait un gosse, son sourire découvre toutes ses dents. Il soulève à pleins bras Le Bret, qui tente en vain de la calmer.

Rapidement Cyrano angoisse, il va voir Roxanne, il va lui dire... Lui dire quoi ? Il bafouille et tente de composer une lettre pendant que s’agite les autres acteurs autour de lui, que la boutique de Ragueneau s’emplit, que la scène continue. Nous  sommes curieux, mais ne voyons pas cette lettre car quand on dit "lettre" c'est le micro dont il se saisit et il s'agenouille sur scène et cherche les mots en parlant à ce micro dont le fil s'enroule sur le sol.

Roxanne apparaît peu de temps après. Elle a d'autres choses à lui dire, mais lui hélas ne sait prédire son désespoir prochain. Ils sont assis sur les marches de la scène, ils parlent des temps anciens où ils n'étaient que deux enfants. Il est ému de ses souvenirs. Il pose ses mains sur les siennes, il ose y croire, la regarde dans les yeux, sourit timidement lorsqu'elle lui dit que l'homme qu'elle aime est un soldat comme lui. Lorsqu'elle avoue que cet homme est très beau, lui a le regard qui se fige. Il semble vide soudain, sans émotion. Elle lui demande de protéger Christian, de l'aimer comme un frère, car c'est le beau Christian qu'elle a remarqué bien sûr et pas l'hideux Cyrano. Il accepte, dépité, blessé.

Les cadets débarquent sur scènes, le héros du jour est à fêter. Ils braillent, chantent, ôtent leurs t-shirt, se saisissent de Cyrano et le dévêtissent. Parmi ces grands gaillards taillés comme des armoires il est de loin le plus petit, le moins musclé, mais certes il gueule le plus fort. Ils le soulèvent, le portent littéralement aux nues. Lui retrouve le sourire, l'impertinence, Roxanne est partie. Un énorme camarade l'attrape et il finit pratiquement sur ses épaules, dans ses bras, les jambes nouées autour de son torse. Entre De Guiche, homme sec aux répliques acerbes. Tout le monde se calme. Il propose à Cyrano de financer ses textes au prix de sa servilité. Lui refuse. Il se moque, il fanfaronne. Les hommes ricanent. De Guiche s'en va.

Restent les cadets, tous debouts , tous à gauche de la scène, lui se vautre sur une chaise, épuisé, seul à droite.  - Pourquoi as tu refusé une telle proposition ?, disent ils. Lui commence par répondre avec lassitude, puis avec effronterie, puis avec colère, hargne, il s'emporte. On le sent acculé, comme s'il devait se justifier devant un tribunal. Que croient-ils tous ? Qu'il va vendre son âme, qu'il va donner en esclavage la seule chose dont il soit fier ! Sans sa liberté et son impertinence il n'est rien qu'un monstre grotesque. Cette tirade a viré violemment en cri de rage et un sanglot étouffe la fin de sa diatribe. Il se recroqueville sur sa chaise et s'est avec l'estomac noué que l'on assiste impuissant à ce désespoir ravalé, à cette extrême fragilité. Il sanglote et c'est poignant. Ragueneau s'approche de lui, elle hésite à le réconforter, on voudrait que quelqu'un le fasse, l'étreigne et le protège. Il semble près de se briser. 

La scène change, la pièce progresse, Christian le jeune fougueux imbécile rencontre Cyrano. Leur différence de charisme est si forte que l'on ne peut que se demander où Roxanne a vu dans ce grand idiot fanfaron un prince charmant qui s'ignore. Les deux hommes font un deal, l'un sera la beauté, l'autre sera les mots pour ensorceler la belle. Le moment est léger, Cyrano est bienveillant, il semble croire encore que ce simple marché sera suffisant pour lui. Roxanne à la langue bien pendue, elle n'hésite pas à jurer, et à se jouer du sombre De Guiche. Ce n'est pas une Roxane naïve et pure, c'est une jeune femme au caractère de feu, son manque de compassion est assez refroidissant. Il est difficile de prendre le parti de cette femme qui semble si détachée de tout et qui joue avec les hommes comme une gamine capricieuse.

Mais voici la fameuse scène du balcon. Pas de balcon sur scène. À la place : quatre chaises. Roxanne, Christian, De Guiche et Cyrano sont assis. Lorsque les personnages dialoguent, ils sont tournés vers nous, nous parlent les yeux dans les yeux, lorsqu'ils sont muets ils nous tournent le dos. C'est un jeu de chaises non musicales mais poétiques. Christian commence, ridiculement mauvais, son parlé de petite frappe butte sur les rimes. Roxanne se détourne de lui avec humeur. Cyrano en chuchotant aux côtés du soupirant peu inspiré commence à lui souffler des répliques. C’est laborieux. Soudain Cyrano, pris dans le feu des mots, il parle tout haut et se lève pour répondre à la place Christian. Les deux hommes se figent, les yeux ronds comme un lapin sous les phares d'une voiture. Roxanne se doute que quelque chose a changé, mais se laisse bluffer. Cyrano prend la main, Christian se met en retrait. De léger et drôle, l'échange prend soudain une toute autre tonalité. Cyrano s'assoit, d’abord à peine maître de ses émotions, le dialogue reprend avec Roxanne. Elle le pousse dans ses retranchements, hautaine, rieuse. Lui s'amuse d'abord, réplique avec tendresse, puis écartant définitivement Christian qui tentait de reprendre la parole, Cyrano baisse la voix jusqu'à n'être plus qu'un murmure, chaud, ensorcelant. Dans la salle, plus un bruit, plus un souffle. C'est vers nous qu'il est tourné, c'est à nous qu'il s'adresse, les yeux plein d'une passion calme, c'est une confession, ce sont des aveux, c'est d'une telle sensualité qu'il est difficile de ne pas soupirer. " Roxanne, I love you.." commence t-il. Sa voix entre par tous les pores de notre peau. "I want you...I need you". Les mots qui suivent sont un flot, une succession de vagues, douces, enveloppantes, érotiques. Roxanne l'interrompt à peine et , comme elle, on voudrait que cette manière enivrante de faire l'amour sans se toucher, uniquement avec le frôlement  de cette voix envoûtante, n'ai jamais de fin. Lorsque la magie s'interrompt c'est Christian qui se lève et enlace une Roxanne pâmée. Il profite sans vergogne du baiser si magnifiquement gagné par Cyrano et nous sommes encore trop sonnés pour réaliser que ce dernier vient ici de sacrifier son cœur sur l'autel de sa loyauté. Il se met de côté, les tourtereaux s'embrassent.

Vient le prêtre, puis De Guiche. Cyrano fait le clown, il gagne du temps, les amants doivent se marier. Pour faire distraction, Cyrano raconte les yeux fermés, comme en songe, les aventures du royaume de la lune. Il est amusant de constater que lorsqu'il a les yeux clos, l'effet d'hypnose qu'impose cette drôle de mise en scène où nous sommes les interlocuteurs forcés a moins d'impact.

L'action se bouscule, De Guiche découvre l'intrigue, Roxanne insolente le provoque. Éconduit, humilié en public, il envoie Cyrano et Christian au front. Roxanne reste seule face à nous tandis que les deux hommes quittent la scène en marchant vers le fond devenu noir. Elle demande à Cyrano de protéger Christian : "I'll try" dit-il, elle demande à ce que Christian lui écrive de longues lettres " I'll do what  I can " promet Cyrano qui n'est plus qu'une voix qu'on entend des loges. La salle s'éteint.

Entracte.

La lumière se rallume sur des marches d'escaliers. Des hommes sont allongés sur chacune d'elles. On dirait des gisants. Le Bret discute avec un autre soldat. Surgit entre eux deux Cyrano, qui vient d'escalader l'envers de l'escalier. Il est emmitouflé dans un blouson noir, il porte son éternel jean noir, on remarque alors que pour être le plus impétueux et flamboyant personnage de cette pièce il n'en est pas moins celui qui est vêtu le plus modestement.

La scène suivante est légère malgré son pitoyable sujet, les soldats ont faim et soif, Cyrano cabotine, survient De Guiche qui envoie par dépit tout le régiment à la mort. Les effets de la bataille sont suggérés par une beatboxeuse qui ponctue les tirades de bruits secs imitant  les canons et la mitraille. Après un drôle de chaos où tous courent en tous sens, ce sont cette fois Ragueneau et Roxanne qui paraissent, inconscientes du danger. La réaction de Christian est virulente, il ne veut pas d'elle sur un champ de bataille, Roxanne ne se gêne pas pour l'envoyer paître. Elle est venue pour lui pourtant, pour lui et surtout pour ses lettres. Cyrano lui apprend que son mari sera bientôt envoyé à la mort. Elle hurle et se jette sur De Guiche. Cyrano n'a que le temps de la saisir à la taille pour empêcher l'esclandre. Dans la scène suivante, étrangement désincarnée, elle couvre Christian, qu'elle croit l'auteur d'une correspondance fleuve, de compliments comme une adolescente énamourée, lui récite même le texte des  lettres qu'elle a appris par cœur. Christian se r'enferme, s'écarte d'elle, il est bien près de verser des larmes lorsqu'elle lui avoue que c'est de ces mots dont elle est amoureuse et qu'elle pourrait bien l'aimer même s'il était défiguré. Il sait qu'il a perdu. Il trouve une excuse pour qu'elle aille au fond de la scène. Il se saisit de Cyrano qui jusqu'à ce moment était resté très en retrait comme un gamin qui sait qu'il a fait une grosse bêtise. On peut croire un instant que leur échange va être violent, Christian est désespéré il a toutes les raisons d'en vouloir à Cyrano. Il lui crache tout d'abord combien ce dernier a outrepassé son rôle, combien il le déteste pour cela. Mais Cyrano ne cherche pas l'affrontement, il baisse les yeux, s'excuse, il ne veut pas croire un instant que Roxanne puisse aimer un autre que Christian. Il fait assoir le jeune homme, devenu plus perdu qu'excédé. Il lui répète tant et plus qu'il ne veut que son bonheur. Christian cherche ses mots, il s'embrouille, il écoute, il se rapproche, il avoue qu’il ne sait plus où il en est. Il se rapproche encore. La tension monte d’un cran.  " Y aurait-il une version de cette vie où deux hommes puissent vivre en ne faisant qu'un ?", demande Christian. Cyrano est mutique, désemparé.

Christian l'embrasse. Et dans la salle nous sommes tous paralysés. C'est un baiser presque timide auquel Cyrano ne répond pas. Pas tout de suite. Car ce premier baiser hésitant est suivi d'un second plus décidé, plus passionné. Un drôle de frisson parcourt la salle. On retient notre souffle. Pendant une fraction de seconde c'est un baiser partagé et les deux hommes sont seuls au monde. Mais survient Roxanne qui surgit sur scène du haut des escaliers et les deux amants se repoussent violemment comme s'ils avaient été électrocutés.

L'action se précipite. Encore sous le choc, nous avons bien du mal à suivre la séquence. Une bataille, les lumières s'éteignent, ne restent que les voix de Roxanne et Cyrano. Ils sont de chaque côtés de la scène, débout dans l'ombre. Au centre Christian est découpé par une langue de lumière blanche, les voix se disputent, autour de la mort de Christian.  Les soldats défunts arrachent leurs micros. Tout s'éteint.

Dernier acte. Le principe des chaises face au public est repris. Seule bizarrerie, Christian, mutique et assis en tailleur, se tient sur l'avant-scène. Drôle de spectre qui nous fixe de ses yeux ronds. Troublant fantôme qui vient hanter les survivants.

Deux personnages secondaires  dialoguent et nous plantent le décor. Ainsi Roxanne est devenue une femme indépendante qui vit seule, Cyrano vient la voir chaque jour, en ami. Il a été attaqué ce matin, paraît il : un coup de couteau, on l'aurait vu à l'hôpital. Les deux personnages disparaissent et laissent place aux deux protagonistes principaux qui viennent s'assoir au centre. Christian, figé dans sa position de gosse sage, est entre eux deux. Roxanne toujours aussi précieuse et inconsciente se moque sans vergogne du retard de Cyrano, elle le taquine en suggérant qu'il a passé la nuit dans les bras d'une femme. Pour la faire rire, il lui dit en des termes crus que oui. Il lui a apporté un livre qu'il vient de publier, elle propose avec une certaine ironie cruelle qu'il lui en fasse la dédicace. Lui a le regard étrangement brillant, serré dans un blouson fermé jusqu'au col, il se tient le côté. Il prend de bonnes grâces les boutades de la jeune femme. Le sujet arrive soudainement sur les lettres de Christian. Cyrano demande à les lire. Elle refuse. Il demande à nouveau. Sa voix est suppliante. Elle accepte. Aucun papier n'est échangé entre eux, c'est le micro qui passe de main en main. Mais avant qu'il n'ait eu le temps de lire cette fameuse dernière lettre. Il lui avoue tout, d'un ton désespéré. "Roxanne je suis l'auteur de toutes ces lettres". Elle ne le croit pas. Elle se vexe presque. Pour lui prouver, il lui récite le début. Elle se braque carrément et cette réaction est d'autant plus choquante qu'il est en larmes et vient de poser son cœur à ses pieds. Mais elle fait parler son orgueil, elle se lève, l'insulte, c'est un menteur, il s'est joué d'elle. Lui, fou de douleur et probablement à l’agonie, recommence à la supplier de lui pardonner. Elle a cette phrase terrible et si pitoyablement contemporaine "ok so  what now ?".  L'humeur change radicalement.  Peut-être un peu vite car on s’y perd. Les mots deviennent plus doux, le ton vire, ils sont à nouveau assis, leur visage se rapprochent, ils se murmurent des paroles noyés de larmes et front contre front sont prêt à s'embrasser. Aura-t-on un happy end à cette pièce ? C'est sans compter l'intervention de De Guiche venu arrêter Cyrano, celui-ci perd connaissance il s'écroule de sa chaise et tombe dans les bras de Roxanne. On découvre qu’il est mourant. Comme dans le texte original, il a un sursaut de lucidité, bondit sur ses pieds et se prend à raconter une drôle d'histoire à propos de deux hommes amoureux d'une même femme qui rencontrent un tavernier moqueur.

Cyrano agonise, il perd ses forces et répète la même phrase comme un pantin cassé mais il reste droit. Il lâche son micro, on comprend qu'il est mort. 

Quand la scène se termine et la pièce avec elle, on ne sait pas vraiment que signifie cette étrange conclusion. Qu'importe la salle est debout, c'est un tonnerre d'applaudissements et de bravo. On vient de se prendre une claque phénoménale.

Okay, so:

It all starts with Roxanne, Yuna, and Mona Blanche

Yuna meets a man named Jesse Yvaette, they get married 5 years later and Yuna gets pregnant with triplets. Belle, Rosa, and Mario (August 3, 1972)

Mona and Roxanne are the daughters of Jacinto Blanche and Crescentia Heraño. But Crescentia passed away from an unspecified illness.

Soon, Jacinto remarried. A woman named Josephine Escuro, she had a child of her own and it was....Yuna!😊. Now later on, the family would move to....Americuh in 1965.

But later on, (1990) Yuna divorces Jesse....because she found out that she was a lesbian😭

Yuna was born on December 7, 1952. Her personality can be described as:

"Stern, sarcastic, laidback and cynical. To her loved ones, she's like 'I don't CARE about you', but really, she does care. Yuna seems threatening but in reality, she's friendly enough!😊"

Her fullname is Yuna Padilla Escuro Blanche.

Moving onto Mona:

Mona was srill in highschool when her family moved to the USA. So, she attended a new school and met Reyes Wienerre.

In 1972, She married Reyes Wienerre and had 5 kids wit him..:

Kurtis Edgar Noir-Blanche (November 29, 1975)

Drew Lazaro Noir-Blanche (June 1, 1977)

Danny Lafuente Wienerre (June 1, 1977)

Rebecca Lorenzo Noir-Blanche (September 1, 1980)

Cady Mayumi Gyante Wienerre (September 1, 1980)

The two seperated soon, Mona took Drew, Kurtis and Rebecca and Reyes took Cady and Danny. Like doubled Parent Trap, since there's 2 pairs of twins😊

You know what else Reyes took by the way? An heirloom. 🙂

Yeah, he stole a Blanche family heirloom😭

It's been worn by Roxanne and Juline (from that time travel story I told you guys about)

Mona was born on February 1st, 1957. Also, she is 67 not 74, I forked up the math there. For her personality:

"Mona can be described as a grumpy, sort of obnoxious, kind of a gossip and someone who has a flare for the dramatic. Yet she manages to be the nicest out of the three. She's loyal and energetic and overprotective of her sisters despite disliking them a little. Like, if you called Yuna an idiot she'd be like: 'Hey! Only I can call her that!"

Holy crap, I forked up big time. Roxanne is actually 73 and Yuna is 72🙂 What was going on in my head while I was writing their ages.

For Roxanne, not much happens with her. She got a job, met a girl named Charlotte Tipton, they become girlfriends but couldn't get married. That's just sad🥲

Okay, I am sleepy as hARK. I'm gonna post another part that addresses the Bob's Burgers ocs.....Karen, Cady, and Rebecca.

Bye! See you in a few hours.

Someone utters that word - "despair". The complete loss and absence of its counterpart, hope. Someone utters that word - "murder". The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

Head Canons about The Vandelay Bosses (and Roxanne)

Some of these ideas are based on a role-swap AU that I may developed further, dubbed Lo-Wav Delay. Zanzo and Korsica don't have major focuses here.

General

I headcanon Rekka, Zanzo, and Korsica as being from less affluent backgrounds compared to Mimosa, Roquefort, and Kale. This could just be my own bias talking so IDK whether I'd stick to it.

It's reasonable to assume that each boss had to have sampled their branded beverages. Carte Blanche has one dedicated drinker and it's Zanzo himself. The handful of brave souls who've tried it before it went on market says it tastes "neon green" or "like licking a game cartridge".

Rekka

I'm changing this to 40s because I realize I might be bad at determining ages. 35 years old (unless John Johanas says otherwise)

She was that one kid in school who kept everyone else on track. Likely ran for student council, hall monitor

Lost her hands in a childhood misadventure. May have involved fireworks.

Had more guy friends than girl friends growing up. Not for "drama" reasons, she just had more interests in common with them.

Mimosa

HFR equivalent of Slavic Mimosa (inspired by mimosa salad). Also French, but did not live in France at any point.

Touch adverse (Inspired by the mimosa flower). Haven't thought of an origin for it at this point in time. Could be related to the next point below ⬇️

Mimosa was a singer/dancer before working at Vandelay. A spinal injury cut her career short so she switched to Marketing, another passion of hers.

Roquefort

Dresses like a vacation dad outside of work. (I just think he'd look good in patterned button ups, okay?)

Cat dad! They are well cared for and very spoiled. They have designated climbing areas.

Kale Vandelay

I have this idea that Kale got a full body robot suit from the same incident that Peppermint lost her leg in. However, he upgraded to the one he has in game later. This is a more AU specific HC though.

Roxanne Vandelay

Roxanne owned a Bulldog, which became the inspiration for CUT-WAN.

The device on her chest is a pacemaker.

She worked an office assistant job before Vandelay Solutions got off the ground. It was an *awful* experience. (Kale made Roxanne his secretary while she was SPECTRA'd. We know he's not going to handle that paperwork himself.)

Building materials giant fined £280,000 over safety failings

Buildings materials manufacturer Etex has been sentenced after a worker was diagnosed with Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) and an electrician sustained burns in a separate incident.

Peterborough Magistrates’ Court heard that the employee was diagnosed with HAVS after an HSE investigation established that he had been using percussive tooling at the company to clean down a machine used for forming cement sheets using a jet pressure washer, pneumatic chisels and a Kango hammer where he was regularly exposed to vibration above the recommended limit.

A health assessment in 2012 had identified the symptoms of HAVS, recommending the employee was referred to a physician for detailed medical examination.

But this did not happen until 2016 when the employee was diagnosed with late stage 2 HAVS which is a serious irreversible health condition, causing the fingers to become blanched and numb, preventing the employee from working with vibratory equipment.

In an unrelated case on 1 September 2017, a second employee sustained electrical burns to his left arm and side of face. The employee was with a second electrician installing a temporary cable repair to switchgear which was around 60 years old.

The employees were trained electricians but neither had the competence to work on the switchgear and they were not provided with any circuit diagrams, drawings or an instruction manual. Neither were there any job specific risk assessments or safe systems of work in place.

The two employees isolated all the switches on the right-hand bank of the panel, which was supplying electricity to production machinery, and assumed that this would render the back of that bank of switches as safe. But while working on the last cable connection, the tool used by one employee met a live bus bar terminating support strip. This caused a flash, which resulted in electrical burns.

Etex (Exteriors) UK Ltd of Burton-on-Trent pleaded guilty to breaching safety regulations and was   fined £282,100 and ordered to pay costs of £12,294.

Speaking after the hearing, HSE inspector Roxanne Barker said: “With regards to the case of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome this company failed to implement and maintain a system that would suitably monitor the recorded results of vibration data and trigger times, therefore failing to have effective controls in place to limit the duration and magnitude of exposure to vibration.

“They also failed to ensure that their employee was under suitable health surveillance to identify problems at any early stage to prevent serious ill health.

“Etex (Exteriors) UK Ltd also failed in its duty to ensure that those undertaking electrical work were suitably competent and given the right information to complete tasks safely.”
