recombinance (2004). Early works with DV data corruption, 20 years ago. As I mentioned in a recent post about NIN’s 2002 And All That Could Have Been DVD, I became during the creation of that film fascinated with the aesthetics of Y2K-era consumer digital video. I was drawn to the uniquely chunky corruption blocks that occurred on lightly-damaged DV tapes, how they were sparse and sometimes gentle in nature.

I filmed some soft gradients, some out-of-focus landscapes and other smooth organic surfaces, and then damaged the tapes (wrinkling the tape, applying magnets/heat, just enough to disrupt the data but still let the tape pass through), seeking the right balance where the harsh digital corruption disrupted and contradicted the soft backdrop while also at times trying to become part of it.

It’s how things felt in the post-millennium migration to all-things-digital, like our old organic analog world was fading out of focus as more of it became rapidly mass-digitized, encoded, and compressed down into tiny efficient grids that more or less replicated what we were at the expense of all the complicated gradients of humanity in between.

Harsh DV data glitches and video interlacing against soft organic textures would form much of the inspiration and methodology of my NIN With Teeth album art in the latter part of 2004 and early 2005.

Stars are meant to burn

Chapter 7: Honeymoon

You’re hunched over a recycled paper cup of vending machine coffee, eyes ringed with sleeplessness, going to an awkward hair growth phase after getting a bit too comfortable with some scissors you found, flipping through data sets no one asked you to process. You're not even on this research project. You just want someone to notice you.

You hear a voice behind you, smooth and amused.

“Do you even blink?”

You look up. It’s him—Marco. The tall one from the archaeology seminar. The one who smells like ink and spearmint. The one you briefly let yourself like before deciding he probably only likes the tall, artsy girls who make everything look like an aesthetic accident.

Girls who are smart, bright and kind, even if they do not need to. Unlike you, who have developed those characteristics to overcompensate.

You mumble something about needing to finish early. He sits down across from you without asking.

“You know,” he says, sipping his own terrible coffee, “all those other girls… they’re pretty until they start talking.”

You raise an eyebrow. Excuse me?

He shrugs. “You’re the opposite. You open your mouth and it’s like—you get more beautiful. Every time.”

You blink. Hard.

“That’s not true,” you say too fast, too sharp. "I'm not even—"

He cuts in, laughing, soft. “Stop. You think you're ugly? Please. You’re not pretty the way they are, no. You’re... interesting. You’re fire. And fire scares people. But it makes me want to stay warm.”

You never dated him. Of course not. He left the program two months later. But the phrase stuck in your mind like a thorn:

“You're not pretty the way they are.”

You never forgot what came after either.

"You're fire."

You just wish it didn't mean being loved only for how brightly you burn.

Then something is clinging to your leg. Something is breathing on your neck. Something is—snoring?

You wake up to the sun filtering through the gauzy curtains and an overwhelming sense of heat, weight, and wrong.

You blink. Then look down.

Bellastella is basically draped over you like an expensive, overcooked octopus. One arm flung across your stomach, one leg hooked over your hip, his face smushed against your shoulder with a faint line of drool trailing onto your borrowed nightshirt. His blazer is somehow beneath you both, serving as a half-crumpled pillow, and your leg is completely numb.

You try to move.

Big mistake.

He groans, snuggles closer, and mutters something in Italian that sounds vaguely ecclesiastical and unhinged.

“Oh my God,” you hiss, frozen in place like a victim of a very dumb, very elegant landslide. “Toti. Toti. Wake up. You’re strangling your wife.”

“Mia moglie,” he murmurs against your skin, smiling stupidly. “So warm.”

“Not romantic,” you mutter. “You are literally on my pancreas.”

You finally elbow him in the ribs, and he jerks awake with a gasp, blinking wildly. “What the—! Why are you under me?”

“You migrated like a brainless moth in the night!”

He props himself up on one elbow, hair a ridiculous mess, shirt still inside out. “This feels... very marriage-coded.”

“This feels like a hostage situation.”

You both groan in unison, trying to detangle yourself from each other and the cursed blanket that now binds you together like a chaotic burrito of questionable choices.

Eventually, you sit up, hair askew, dignity in shreds. Bellastella yawns, rubbing his face.

“Good morning, carissima.”

“Don’t. You drooled on me.”

“You make me drool, carísima moglie mia.”

“Shut up.”

“I was marking my territory.”

“I swear to God, Bellastella.”

You’ve been trying to downplay it all night. The burning sensation across your back. The pulsing itch that no scratch can satisfy. The weird heat crawling under your skin. You even waved it off earlier when Bellastella offered to check. “It’s probably nerves. Or hay. Or your personality.”

But now, you can’t sleep. Not like this.

You sit up and flip on your phone’s flashlight. “Okay,” you mutter. “Okay, I need—”

Bellastella bolts upright as if he’d been awake the whole time. “What? What is it?”

“I need help. My back is— I can’t even explain it.”

“You should’ve said something!” He’s already shifting out from under the blanket, shirt hanging off one shoulder where the buttons are still undone from earlier. “Turn around. Let me see.”

You hesitate, but there’s no dignity left in this night. You scoot around, and he gently unzips your dress again — this time not even pretending it’s anything but necessary.

A beat. Then:

“Madonna santa.” His voice drops. “Why didn’t you tell me it was this bad?”

“What, it’s just a little rash—”

“Your back looks like a Jackson Pollock painting in red.”

“…is that a compliment?”

“No!”

He grabs the ointment and wipes like a man on a mission, hands surprisingly gentle. You wince as he starts cleaning around the worst of the swelling.

“Spider?” you guess, tone half-joking.

“Definitely. Possibly recluse. You should be in a clinic, not—whatever this is. This rustic death trap.”

You hum, biting your lip. “That explains why I feel like I’m being slow-roasted.”

He pauses. “I’ll stay up. Monitor it. If you spike a fever, I’m calling a helicopter.”

“You don’t have a phone signal.”

“I’ll build one from spare parts.”

You sigh. “You’re worrying too much.”

He doesn’t answer right away, just keeps dabbing ointment in careful, silent circles. Eventually, he murmurs:

“I’d rather overreact than watch you rot from the inside out.”

You blink.

That shuts you up.

Just for a moment.

Bellastella is pacing. Not walking. Pacing. Like a man possessed. His blazer’s wrinkled beyond salvation, his hair is fluffed in ten different directions from frantic hand-wringing, and he's muttering in Latin, Italian, and what might be badly remembered Shakespeare.

You, meanwhile, are sprawled face-down on the creaky bed with a wet cloth pressed to your cheek. Feverish. Sweaty. Dazed. You had enough strength earlier to call him a “whiny Gucci scarecrow,” but now you just groan into the mattress and try not to pass out.

“She’s deteriorating,” he hisses to himself, pulling at the collar of his inside-out shirt. “This is how documentaries begin. ‘They ignored the signs. They didn’t act fast enough.’ Merda.”

He holds up your phone like it might spontaneously get service if he glared hard enough. No signal. Of course not.

When he turns back, you’re shivering under the blanket.

That’s it.

“Okay. Alright.” He kneels by the bed like he’s about to start praying. “Here’s the situation. I’m going to do something very brave and possibly illegal.”

You crack an eye open. “Please… don’t.”

But it’s too late.

Bellastella kicks into action. He rummages through your bag with all the grace of a drunken raccoon, pulling out socks, chargers, lip balm, a wrapped chocolate, and finally—

“Your moisturizer. Yes. I will use this.” He frowns. “Hydration is health. Right?”

“No—no, that’s for—”

He’s already dabbing it onto your temples like you’re a fancy scone.

“I’m sorry,” he mutters, genuinely. “You’re the competent one. You’re the adult. I just talk my way through rooms and sign things.”

Your eyes flutter, too tired to respond.

Bellastella presses the back of his hand to your forehead. “If you die from spider venom in the countryside, I swear to God I’ll forge your signature and fake a will.”

You groan. “Romantic.”

“I’ll make you seem so rich. It’ll be tragic. A whole scholarship fund in your name. The Tiana Bellastella Memorial for Women Who Put Up With Idiots.”

He slumps beside you, burying his face in the pillow for a second. Then:

“I should’ve made you lie down earlier. I should’ve noticed.”

You manage a soft, dry laugh. “You noticed everything… except the dying.”

He shoots back up. “No more talking. You’re on vocal rest. That’s a medical thing.”

You’re too exhausted to argue. You close your eyes again. The sheets shift as he rearranges the blanket around your shoulders.

And, just before you drift off, you feel it:

A hesitant hand brushing your hair back from your forehead.

“I swear I’ll take care of you,” he murmurs. “Even if I have to learn how to boil water.”

That’s when you realize: you might actually die.

But if not, you’re definitely going to milk this for a month.

You wake up feeling like your body’s been steamrolled by an antique tractor. Your back itches like hell, your head throbs, and your throat feels like it was used as a gravel road. But you’re upright. Alive. And most alarmingly—

Bellastella is nowhere in sight.

You sit up, the blanket falling off your shoulders, and—

“Oh no,” you rasp.

The smell of coffee hits first.

Then burnt toast.

Then something you can only describe as “optimistically egg adjacent.”

You shuffle your way into the little kitchen-slash-bathroom-slash-hallway of the cottage and there he is:

Hair wild, shirt buttoned almost correctly (only two are wrong), sleeves rolled up, socks mismatched, and expression deranged with purpose. He’s holding a cracked pan like it insulted his ancestors.

“Ah! She lives!” he shouts. “Your fever broke. Your cheeks are pink. Or possibly just flushed from rage. Either way—breakfast!”

You glance at the table. There is toast. There is also what might once have been an egg. There is also a whole lemon, uncut, just sitting there like it was invited.

He pours you coffee like it’s a ceremonial rite. “You scared the hell out of me.”

You sip. It’s actually… decent.

“You okay?” you ask.

“I am fantastic,” he says with a smile that looks 90% forced. “I survived a sleepless night, learned basic first aid via Wikipedia screenshots, and also discovered I have an allergy to hay. And dust. And possibly poor-quality mattresses.”

He sneezes violently into his sleeve.

“And you, madam,” he says, voice nasal now, “have been the subject of rumors.”

You blink. “What?”

He plops down opposite you. “Apparently I am a rich industrialist who brought his foreign little wife to the countryside for fertility blessings.”

You choke. “What—”

“Mm-hmm,” he says with full drama. “They say I have a villa in Milan, that I married you after falling in love at a yacht auction, and that you’re a silent, obedient type. Which is rich.”

“You look like an underfed sugar daddy,” you mutter. “And fertile wife? Seriously?”

He shrugs. “You looked flushed and tragic. Very Madonna col Bambino. Plus, we did that whole yelling-at-each-other-while-lost act, so… clearly married.”

You sigh, resting your head in your hands. “This week is cursed.”

“You’re welcome,” he says smugly. “I give you authentic Italian immersion. Food, countryside, near-death experiences, marital accusations.”

You peer at him. “And you? You okay?”

For a second, he falters. His eyes soften.

“I’m fine,” he lies. “The rich industrialist’s wife had it worse.”

You watch him. He didn’t sleep. He’s twitchy. Nervous. But doing everything he can to keep the spotlight off himself.

You lean back.

“Fine,” you say, sipping again. “But you’re getting a nap. No arguments. That’s an order.”

He salutes.

You roll your eyes.

And somewhere outside, an old woman mutters to her daughter, “I give her five months before she’s pregnant with twins.”

The church bells ring like they’re announcing divine judgment—and frankly, it feels personal.

Your legs still ache, your back still stings, and the heat is making your vision go soft around the edges. Yet here you are, being paraded into town like livestock on market day.

And Bellastella? Bellastella is glowing.

Dressed in one of his obnoxiously good suits (God knows where it came from), hand resting gently on your lower back like he’s escorting a duchess, eyes squinting smugly under the countryside sun. He even has the audacity to offer you his sunglasses.

“Smile,” he murmurs, “they think you’re glowing.”

“I’m about to pass out.”

“You’ll do it gracefully. Like a fainting bride.”

You squint at him. “I hate you.”

“Darling,” he says, helping you down a step. “They already think we’re trying for twins. Don’t ruin it.”

A cluster of locals waits just outside the church courtyard. Women in black kerchiefs, men with suspenders, a few kids holding olive branches or goats. You smile weakly. One of them crosses herself. Twice.

Then, the whispering starts:

“Guarda com’è pallida… è già incinta, secondo me.” (Look how pale she is… I bet she’s already pregnant.)

“Si vede che la tratta bene, sempre vicino a lei.” (You can tell he treats her well, he’s always by her side.)

“I morsi sul collo…? Eh, si amano proprio.” (Those bites on her neck...? Ah, they’re really in love.)

You glance at Bellastella. “What are they saying?”

He leans in, grinning. “That you’re the perfect Catholic wife. Modest. Fertile. Beloved.”

You freeze. “Did they just—did someone say—fertile?”

He beams. “They’re blessing our future children.”

“Oh my God.”

“I know. We haven’t even picked names.”

You groan. “Please. Let lightning strike me.”

“Una donna così silenziosa… che fortuna ha avuto lui!” (A woman so quiet… he’s a lucky man!)

“Stop smiling like that,” you hiss as he waves to the townsfolk like an aristocrat at a charity gala.

“They think you’re too tired to speak,” he says smugly. “I told them you prayed so hard for our marriage you’ve lost your voice.”

“You told them what—”

“Pssst. Don’t ruin your image.”

“Devono venire a messa domenica prossima, il prete li benedirà per la fertilità.” (They must come to Mass next Sunday, the priest will bless them for fertility.)

You lean toward him. “What did that one say?”

He puts a hand on his heart. “That you’re radiant in your suffering.”

You narrow your eyes. “Salvatore. I swear to God.”

“They’re inviting us to a fertility blessing.”

You start walking away. He follows, smug.

“Darling. Your fans adore you.”

“I am going to kill you.”

He taps his chest. “Our child must know love and drama.”

“We are not having a fake child.”

“Tell that to the women planning our baby’s baptism.”

You’ve been walking for five minutes—maybe ten? It feels like thirty. The dust clings to your skin like regret, and the sun has begun peeling what’s left of your patience. Bellastella rambles on about how he's sure the local mechanic can “absolutely” fix a French-imported rental engine with a wrench and good intentions.

You're trying to nod, to smile, to look like a picture of rustic matrimonial bliss.

But your legs wobble. Your vision tilts. Your knees give a warning.

Then—

You stumble.

Before the world can finish tilting sideways, a pair of arms catches you, strong and immediate.

“Woah, amore mio—easy, I’ve got you,” Bellastella says, his voice too gentle, too convincing.

You collapse into him, whether by instinct or exhaustion, you don’t know. Your cheek presses against his chest—his still inside-out dress shirt—and your hands grasp the lapels like you’re clinging to life itself. His cologne is faint but warm.

Behind you, you hear the collective gasp of an entire generation of Italian elders.

“Hai visto? L’ha presa tra le braccia come nei film!” (Did you see that? He caught her in his arms like in the movies!)

“Ah, l’amore vero… si vede quando lui protegge così.” (Ah, true love… you can tell when a man protects her like that.)

You barely whisper, “I’m fine.”

“You’re not fine.” His voice is low but panicked now, soft and fierce. “You should’ve told me it got worse.”

“I didn’t want to ruin your… little countryside performance.”

He lifts your chin, just enough to look into your eyes. His expression shifts—something real, not smug or sarcastic.

“This isn’t a performance.”

You blink up at him.

Then the illusion cracks: he hears a click.

A woman takes a photo. Another waves at him.

“Dio li benedica! Guardali, sembrano un dipinto.” (God bless them! Look at them, they’re like a painting.)

He flashes a smile, but his grip on you doesn’t loosen.

“I’m carrying you,” he mutters.

“No you’re not.”

He sweeps you off your feet before you can argue. You yelp, hitting his shoulder weakly.

“This is undignified!”

“This is heroic,” he says through gritted teeth, “and if you throw up on me, I’ll still love you. As your legally fake husband.”

You bury your face in his shoulder as the townsfolk applaud.

“God help me,” you whisper.

“Already did,” he replies. “He sent you me.”

You groan loud enough to make a baby cry in the distance.

You’re half-conscious in Bellastella’s arms when the mechanic’s bell jingles—a rusty little shop flanked by a garden of junked Fiat parts and one lonely Vespa.

“Buongiorno!” the mechanic calls from under a car, sliding out with a creak. He’s wiry, with hands that look like they’ve been soaked in engine oil since Mussolini fell.

Bellastella adjusts you in his arms like a Victorian heroine and flashes that same devastating, very Catholic, absolutely conniving smile.

“Buongiorno, signore. Mia moglie… la mia bellissima moglie… she’s not feeling well. We had a minor issue with the car…”

The mechanic straightens up, wiping his hands. His eyes fall on you—fever-flushed, limp in Bellastella’s arms—and he gasps in the sacred language of small-town scandal.

“Madonna santa. La tua povera sposa! Ha l’aspetto di una che aspetta… due gemelli forse!” (Holy Mother. Your poor bride! She looks like someone expecting… twins, perhaps!)

You groan in English. “What did he say.”

“He said you look radiant,” Bellastella lies smoothly.

“Non deve stare in piedi in questo stato! Deve riposare, povera creatura!” (She shouldn’t be standing in her condition! She needs to rest, poor creature!)

Bellastella nods gravely. “Exactly what I was saying.”

“E tu, marito devoto, come ti prendi cura di lei! Un uomo raro!” (And you, devoted husband, how well you take care of her! A rare man!)

He kisses your forehead. “I do my best.”

You slap his shoulder, weakly.

“Now,” Bellastella turns, solemn-faced, “we’ve been through a lot. God sent us here. And perhaps… you can help us with our little vehicle.”

The mechanic nods furiously. “I won’t take a cent! Not from you two! This… questo è amore vero!”

(This is true love!)

Bellastella humbly clasps his hand.

You squint at him, suspicious. “What did he say now?”

“That love is the most important engine of all.”

“You’re abusing small-town hospitality.”

“Legally married hospitality,” he corrects, placing you gently on a worn-down bench and wrapping a towel behind your back like a shawl. “Now rest, carissima. I’ll go supervise the miraculous healing of our rental.”

You close your eyes and mutter, “One day they’ll canonize you, Bellastella.”

He salutes. “I’ll settle for beatification and a complimentary oil change.”

You arrive at the mechanic’s garage just off the dusty main road. The sun is higher now, baking the peeling red paint on the peeling sign: “Officina Meccanica Bianchi.” You wobble in Bellastella’s arms, and the old mechanic—a craggy man in stained overalls—watches from under a grease-smudged cap. His wife stands behind him, arms crossed.

Bellastella sets you down gently.

“Guardate un po’: la giovane signora sembra affaticata. È sua moglie?”

(Well, look at that: the young lady seems exhausted. Is she your wife?)

Bellastella nods proudly.

“Sì, mia moglie.”

(Yes, my wife.)

The mechanic’s eyes soften. He turns to his wife.

“Offriamogli un favore. Non possiamo far dormire così i coniugi, vero?”

(Let’s do them a favor. We can’t let a married couple sleep on the road, can we?)

His wife uncrosses her arms and huffs a laugh.

“Un favore per una coppia sposata! Per l’amore di Dio!”

(A favor for a married couple! For God’s sake!)

Bellastella beams.

“Grazie, davvero. Non so come ringraziarvi.”

(Thank you, truly. I don’t know how to thank you.)

The mechanic pats Bellastella on the shoulder.

“Portaci il motore. Lo controlliamo e ripariamo gratis. Per la salute della signora.”

(Bring us the engine. We’ll check and fix it for free—for the lady’s health.)

Inside the garage, you sit on a wooden crate as Bellastella hurries to pop the hood of the rental. The mechanic and his wife exchange knowing smiles, whispering.

“Lei è così gentile con la sua moglie. È un vero marito cattolico.” (“He’s so kind to his wife. He’s a true Catholic husband.”)

“Speriamo abbiano tanti bambini.” (“Let’s hope they have lots of children.”)

Bellastella catches you eye-rolling.

“Don’t mind them. They’re just impressed by my ‘fatherly’ instincts.”

You lean against the crate, wincing.

“I’m still not pregnant, you know.”

He offers a crooked grin.

“Then they’ll at least believe we’re trying. Now hush, or I’ll pretend we named the first one after you.”

The mechanic emerges with a rag, wiping his hands.

“Tutto è a posto. Il motore è riparato. Non ci pensate più.”

(“Everything is fixed. The engine is repaired. Don’t think about it anymore.”)

Bellastella claps the mechanic on the back.

“Cinque stelle! Come avvocato, prenderò nota del vostro nome.”

(“Five stars! As a lawyer, I’ll make sure your name is known.”)

The mechanic shrugs.

“Bastano due parole buone in chiesa. Buona fortuna!”

(“Two good words at church are enough. Good luck!”)

You both stand, Bellastella refusing to let you help pay even a cent. You step out into the sun, the repaired car gleaming and rumor-ready.

He takes your hand and bows, too proud and too happy for something so simple—but in this cursed countryside, simple miracles are worth celebrating.

The sun hits your eyes as you step out, and you almost forget the throbbing itch running down your leg. The countryside smells like basil, oil, and warm dust. You squint at the car like it’s a returning soldier. Bellastella is still high off the mechanic's praise.

He twirls your hand in his like you're ballroom dancing and says with all the pomp of a man proposing in front of a vineyard:

“My darling wife, shall we return to our honeymoon of misinformation and misdiagnosed ailments?”

You roll your eyes, letting him spin you once before planting your feet again.

“We need to talk about how we’re going to get through the next few days without further escalating this small-town Catholic drama into a full-scale pastoral soap opera.”

He leans back against the car door, arms folded, too smug for his own good.

“What drama? You look like a mythological vision, and I’m the idiot who fetched water and accidentally married her.”

You cross your arms too.

“You know what I mean. The way they look at us.”

He shrugs. “Jealous. You can’t blame them.”

You snort. “Well, yes, but who wouldn’t? You’re a white heterosexual rich idiot who on top of that is conventionally attractive.”

That stops him.

Actually stops him.

He blinks at you like you just confessed to a federal crime. His arms slowly drop to his sides. The smugness melts into something stunned, something raw.

“What?” he asks, voice lower, more honest than he probably means it to be.

“I said you’re a white heterosexual rich idiot who on top of that is conventionally attractive.” You blink, impatient. “Did you not know that?”

He frowns, uncertain. “I mean—I have good taste. I wear good suits. I vacation well. But… me? Attractive?”

The words are foreign on his tongue. You realize with a twist in your gut: no one’s ever told him that without strings. He’s always been admired, never quite seen.

You shake your head.

“Yes, idiot. You’re objectively hot. And tall. And dumb. It’s unfair.”

He recovers, just barely, pushing his sunglasses on with too much flair.

“Well then.” He clears his throat. “Guess I’ll try to live up to your vision.”

You both climb into the car—two idiots, one feverish, one reeling, both pretending the compliment didn’t change anything.

It did.

You sit in the passenger seat, legs curled under you, trying not to scratch your spider-bitten skin into oblivion. Bellastella is fiddling with the radio, humming something Sinatra-adjacent and smug as ever.

And then it hits you.

Like, really hits you.

Oh no.

Oh no.

You told him he’s attractive.

Out loud.

With your actual mouth.

And worse—he knows now.

Worse than that—you weren’t lying.

You glance over at him. Stupid, stupid man. Hair ruffled from the wind, one hand on the wheel, that tan from being somewhere rich and ridiculous, that jawline that looks like it was sculpted by divine nepotism.

And he’s smiling. Like a smug cat. Like he knows something you don’t.

And he does.

Because oh no—

You find him hot.

Like genuinely.

Like "I’d accidentally kiss you in a church pew" hot.

You look away, violently. Stare out the window. Pretend you’re just thinking about death. Or tax fraud. Anything else.

“You’re quiet,” he says, glancing at you. “Shall I be concerned or grateful?”

You grit your teeth. “I’m just planning your murder.”

“Charming,” he replies. “That’s how I know you care.”

You groan and hide your face in your hands.

This is bad.

You’re fake-married. Stranded. Ill. Possibly cursed. And now, to top it all off—

You have a crush on your idiot fake husband.

Who’s good-looking.

And knows it now.

And worse, he didn’t even gloat. He just smiled like he’d tuck it somewhere quiet and dangerous and use it later to kill you softly.

You peek at him again. He’s tapping the wheel, humming like he’s never once ruined a woman’s sense of stability.

You’re so doomed.

“How many men—or women, I know you have your charm with them—have called you beautiful?” he asks, so sure of the answer that it isn’t if—it’s how many.

You blink. “Women? Many. From all ages, actually.” You smile faintly. “The girls I used to tutor. The toddlers I babysat. The old women on the street. The girl from the university cafeteria once said I looked like a doll.”

You glance down. “That one stayed with me. It’s the nicest compliment I’ve ever received.”

Bellastella looks at you like you’ve just admitted to being raised by wolves.

“What about boyfriends?”

“I’ve never had one.”

He freezes, orange slice halfway to his mouth. “Not even a one-night stand?”

You shoot him a flat look, but it lacks heat. You know him. You know his tone isn’t mocking, just... confused. Curious. Genuinely a little appalled at the injustice.

“Nope.”

He tilts his head. “But you’ve had admirers.”

“Men usually call me funny or brilliant.”

He recoils dramatically like you just stabbed him in the ribs. “Ouch.”

You snort. “What?”

“No, no, I’m just mourning for every man who had access to you and still thought the highest compliment was ‘funny.’” He leans back, shaking his head. “Madonna mia. Tragic.”

You chuckle despite yourself. “What, you don’t think I’m funny?”

He looks you dead in the eyes. “You’re infuriating. And lovely. And much, much too intelligent to be handled safely. But yes. Funny. Unfortunately.”

You shift uncomfortably under the weight of the moment. “You’re not going to start calling me ‘doll,’ are you?”

He grins. “Only if you promise to never have a boyfriend.”

You blink. “Why?”

He smirks. “Because then I’ll have competition.”

Your heart hiccups.

He doesn’t seem to notice what he’s said. Or maybe he does—and just keeps peeling his orange.

You stare at him, blinking once. Then scoff, looking away. “You’re such a flirt.”

“I’m Italian.”

“You’d flirt with a curtain if it fluttered the right way.”

“Only if it were a very sensual curtain.”

You roll your eyes, half-smiling despite yourself. He’s always like this. Warm, exaggerated, insufferable. You tuck the moment away with the others—half-sincere, half-ludicrous. You know better than to take it seriously.

Still, your voice is a little smaller when you ask, “Why would there be competition?”

He hums. “Bah, benne.” Then more softly: “But tell me… have you ever had your heart set aflame for any ragazzo yet?”

You glance at him, surprised by the question. The way he said it—not mockingly, but with something quieter in his voice. Almost… hopeful?

You shift your weight. “Well… there was this one guy. Back in college.”

He straightens a little. “Oh?”

You nod, staring out at the countryside. “We worked in the same lab. He was funny. Smart. Thought I was annoying, I think, but he listened when I talked about my thesis.” You smile faintly. “Once he told me that most girls were pretty until they opened their mouths and became ugly—but I was the opposite.”

Bellastella’s expression tightens. “Che complimentone.”

You laugh. “Right? It wrecked me for years.”

He listens like you're telling him how the world ends.

Eyes sharp, expression unreadable—he’s way too invested for a story from your dusty college years.

“So,” he says, leaning in just slightly, “what did you do?”

You shrug a little. “He broke up with his girlfriend of three years.”

Bellastella raises a brow. “Ah. The plot thickens.”

“She was a bimbo with acrylic nails and perfect curled hair,” you say—then pause, catching your own words. “Which, by the way, doesn’t make her any less worthy. She was kind. Gorgeous. Not dumb. I only said that because I was jealous and miserable and convinced being a mess with a degree made me superior.”

Bellastella blinks, genuinely surprised by your tone. Then something flickers—respect, maybe.

You continue, quieter. “When I finished the master’s, he came to find me. Waited outside the department. Said he’d made a mistake. That I was ‘the one who made him think.’”

He’s silent. Leaning against the old Fiat, face unusually focused.

“He came close,” you say. “Told me he always knew, deep down, I was different. Leaned in to kiss me—”

“And?” he asks, a touch too fast.

You smile.

“I slapped him.”

His mouth opens slightly. Then closes. “You… slapped him?”

“Yep.”

Bellastella throws his head back and laughs, loud and delighted. “Santa Maria. I knew I liked you.”

You smirk. “Because I commit light violence when morally justified?”

“Because you don’t fall for cheap poetry and post-breakup kisses. And because—” he sobers slightly, “you didn’t tear her down to feel bigger. That’s rare.”

You shrug. “She wasn’t the problem. He was.”

He stares at you a second longer. Then mutters: “You really are the opposite. Not pretty until you open your mouth. Then you’re… something else entirely.”

You don’t ask what he means.

And he doesn’t say.

He leans back against the warm hood of the car, arms crossed, that lazy grin returning to his face like it never left.

“You know,” he says, voice casual—too casual—“you’re really quite gorgeous.”

You blink, taken aback. “Wait, what?”

He shrugs, eyes flicking down to your mouth, then away. “Yeah. Stunning. Until you open your idiotic mouth and start talking about, I don’t know, the semiotics of public transport or the moral superiority of eating expired yogurt.”

Your jaw drops. “Excuse me?”

He waggles his eyebrows. “And suddenly, there she is—the strange little gremlin philosopher of my nightmares. My wife, everyone.”

“I hate you.”

“You don’t,” he says smugly, watching your face like it’s a chessboard he just won. “You wish you hated me. But deep down you’re thrilled. This is the most attention you’ve gotten from a pretty man who knows how to use conditioner.”

“Oh my God, you’re insufferable.”

“You say that,” he says, already moving toward the driver’s seat, “but you still let me tuck you in last night, mogliettina mia.”

You glare at him, cheeks warm. “You stole the blanket.”

“I shared the blanket. Communal property. Like marriage.”

You mutter something deeply unholy under your breath in your own language. He’s smiling again as he starts the engine, tapping the wheel with far too much satisfaction.

And you?

You’re not smiling.

Not at all.

…Well. You do. Just a little. The kind of smile you try to swallow before it escapes—treacherous and involuntary, curled at the edges. He’s ridiculous. A walking ego in sunglasses. But somehow, impossibly, it’s comforting.

Right then—because life is cruel—his phone buzzes on the dashboard.

He glances at it, lights up.

“Ah! Sandra, bellissima!” His voice smoothens like silk, sliding into that softer Italian he uses when he wants something. “I was wondering when you’d call!”

The name—Sandra—sinks its claws in. You look away.

Of course.

Of course.

Just when the air was beginning to shift, just when your thoughts were crawling somewhere dangerous—somewhere like hope—reality calls back.

A beautiful name. Probably someone with perfectly curled hair and the kind of heels that don’t sink in the countryside dirt.

The kind of woman who knows what to do with a man like him. Who fits in the passenger seat of a Maserati without a tote bag full of antihistamines and backup books.

He laughs into the phone, says something low and fond in Italian. You don’t need to understand the words. You know the tone. Darling, I missed you.

You shift in your seat, eyes on the road. The repaired engine hums. The sun’s still bright. The countryside looks like a painting, and yet all you feel is stupid.

Stupid for smiling.

Stupid for thinking—

He’s still talking. You reach into your bag and pull out your water bottle just to do something with your hands.

You don’t interrupt. You don’t flinch.

But you also don’t smile again.

Do you know any way I could move my playlists out of spotify and onto a different app/website?

Hello ! I have Oh So Many tools for you >:D

Migration

Firstly, the simple migration tools. There are multiple services that allow you to do that, depending on the target platform. Here's the ones for Apple Music and Youtube Music. Deezer have their built-in tools.

I don't know many streaming services, but I would recommend using Youtube Music : with the help of Newpipe or alternatives, you can listen to your playlist with no ads for free :) And you can mix in youtube videos in your playlists - very cool when a specific version of a track isn't on streaming services ! Plus Newpipe has a very handy download tool

Download

Secondly, I wanna talk about downloading. Having your own library with the files accessible anytime are a must, to my sense. It will greatly improve your battery life and reduce your mobile data usage. And you can keep them your whole life !! Make mixtapes on CDs for your friends !!! And- ok let's get to the point

From other services

The go-to tool for downloading music and videos is yt-dlp. It's the base of most DL tool out there ! The vanilla version is a command-line tool, but there's a few apps with an interface. If you're on PC, I like to use Parabolic for that. I *think* LibreTube has batch download ? NewPipe only has single download. Seal does it but is a bit clunky.

From Spotify

Spotify is infamous for being very good at protecting its files against download. They make breaking changes regularly, making it hard to find reliable, durable tools. Usually, the solution is to hack into the official Spotify app, and get the data from there. On PC, you can use OnTheSpot to hook into the official app. You can also mod the official app with Soggfy (windows only). I wasn't able to find any working Android app as of April 2025. Seal used to do it but not anymore, and popular options are discontinued or getting sketchy.

There are also tools that allow you to download music from CSV files

Backups

Finally: Backup !!! Your !!! Playlists !!! While pretty unlikely, it is possible that you may lose access to your account for one reason or another. Playlist.cloud (the very first link) allow you to do that. If anything goes wrong, you'll be able to restore all your playlists from these CSV files !

If you want to go even deeper : Soulseek is the gold standard for peer-to-peer music sharing (use an interface). With community scripts, you can even input your CSV list and have it downloaded.

ℹ️ Why should I trust any of these apps ? Github links are scary

A very wise consideration ! Some of these apps I used myself, so I can vouch for them. The rest is taken from FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah), **the most comprehensive resource for piracy and free media access**. Here are the quick links to Migration and Download. I cannot overstate how good this resource is. Read it, bookmark it, this will be your best ally for the years to come !!! All recommendations on this website are curated by experimented communities. They are mostly safe and up to date.

Closing thoughts

Thank you for your patience ! I spent a lot of time researching this answer, so the information would be as useful, complete and accurate as possible. Tech companies makes it as hard as possible to escape them, so this can be an arduous journey. I hope this will be helpful, and your migration will be smooth !

Love and Piracy <3

New APIs For Amazon Location Service Routes, Places & Maps

Introducing new Routes, Places, and Maps APIs for Amazon Location Service

The Routes, Places, and Maps features are expanded and improved by the 17 new and improved APIs that Amazon Location Service announced today, giving developers a more unified and efficient experience. These improvements increase the accessibility and utility of Amazon Location Service for a variety of applications by bringing new capabilities and providing a smooth migration process.

Advanced route optimization, GPS tracing, toll cost calculations, a range of map styles with static and dynamic rendering options, proximity-based search, predictive recommendations, and rich, detailed information on points of interest are all now available.

At Amazon, user feedback informs the great majority of its roadmaps. When working with location-based data, several customers developing applications with Amazon Location Service have expressed that they require more specific information, like contact details and business hours, as well as specially designed APIs. Developers have indicated a desire for further features, like comprehensive route planning, proximity-based searches, more place details, and static map graphics, even if the present API set has given many users useful tools. These needs are met by these new APIs, which offer a more thorough and unconventional location solution.

Improved and new capabilities

In direct response to your feedback, today’s launch provides seven completely new APIs and ten revised APIs. Specific improvements are made to each service Maps, Places, and Routes to accommodate a wider variety of use cases.

Routes

Advanced route planning and modification features are now available through the Amazon Location Routes API, enabling customers to:

Determine service regions within a certain travel time or distance by calculating isolines.

OptimizeWaypoints helps save trip time or distance by identifying the most effective waypoint sequence.

To offer accurate cost estimates for routes involving toll roads, compute toll costs.

SnapToRoads allows GPS traces to be precisely matched by snapping sites to the road network.

You may create more dynamic and accurate route experiences for your consumers with these features. For instance, a logistics firm may minimize delivery travel expenses by optimizing driver routes in real-time while accounting for real-time traffic.

Maps

More specially designed map types created by talented cartographers are now available in the revised Amazon Location Maps API. These map styles provide expert designs that remove the need for custom map construction and speed up time to market. Furthermore, developers can incorporate static maps into applications using the Static Map Image feature, which eliminates the requirement for constant data streaming and boosts performance in use scenarios when interactivity is not required.

Among the Maps API’s primary features are:

GetStyleDescriptor, which returns details about the style; GetTile, which downloads a tile from a tileset with a given X, Y, and Z axis values

GetStaticMap allows non-interactive maps to be rendered for reporting or display.

Places

In response to requests for more granularity in location data, the Amazon Location Places API has been improved to enable more thorough search capabilities. Among the new capabilities are:

For improved user experiences, SearchNearby and Autocomplete allow predictive text features and support proximity-based queries.

Improved company information including sections for contact details, business hours, and extra features for sites of interest

Applications like food delivery services or shop apps, where customers require comprehensive information about nearby locations, will particularly benefit from these functionalities. Consider a scenario in which a consumer launches a food delivery app, uses SearchNearby to find restaurants in their area, and downloads restaurant information, including contact details and business hours, to verify availability. The application utilizes OptimizeWaypoints to recommend the most effective route for pickups and deliveries after a driver has been assigned several delivery orders. SnaptoRoads improves the customer’s real-time tracking experience by providing a detailed depiction of the driver’s location as they follow the route.

The operation of enhanced location service

It is simple to call the API. You have three options: the basic REST API, one of AWS SDKs, or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). However, some further preparation is needed to display the data on a map in a web or mobile application. Despite having extensive documentation, the method is too intricate to go into detail here.

There are two methods for authenticating API requests with Amazon Location Service: using API keys or AWS API authentication (AWS Sigv4 authentication). For developers of mobile applications, API keys may be more practical in situations where end users are not verified or when integrating with Amazon Cognito is not practical. For front-end apps, this is the suggested authentication technique.

You utilize a combination of the AWS CLI, cURL, and a graphical REST API client to show the flexibility of the APIs and how simple it is to integrate them inside your apps.

Beginning

Amazon Location Service provides a more complete range of mapping and location data for your business needs with these updated and new APIs. These will improve the scalability and agility of developers, which will help you speed up your development lifecycle.

Explore the most recent version of the Amazon Location Service Developer Guide to get started, then start incorporating these features right now. You can also test the APIs using your preferred AWS SDKs to see how they can improve your apps.

Amazon location service pricing

Learn about the reasonable prices for maps, locations, routing, tracking, and geofencing offered by Amazon Location Service. Pay only for what you use; there are no up-front fees.

Pricing

You pay for the queries your application makes to the service listed in the table below after using the Amazon Location Service for free.

Volume discounts are available for customers with a monthly usage exceeding $5,000.

Price may vary based on request parameters, please refer to the Pricing section in the developer guide.

Amazon Location Service free trail

During the first three months of using Amazon Location Service, you can test it out with the free trial. You won’t be charged for monthly consumption during that period up to the amounts specified for the APIs indicated in the table below. You will be charged for the extra usage in accordance with the paid tier prices if your usage surpasses the free trial limits or utilizes Advanced, Premium, or Stored services.

Migrating Product Data from PrestaShop to Shopify: Best Practices

Moving your eCommerce store from PrestaShop to Shopify can be a game-changer, but the success of the migration depends heavily on how you handle your product data. Ensuring that your products, descriptions, and SEO data are migrated without loss is essential. This blog will walk you through the best practices for migrating product data from PrestaShop to Shopify.

1. Pre-Migration Checklist

Backup your entire PrestaShop store, including product data, customer information, and order history.

Analyze your data to remove outdated or irrelevant information.

Make a list of all product categories, attributes, and variants.

2. Choosing the Right Migration Tool

Use automated migration tools like LitExtension or Cart2Cart for seamless transfers.

Evaluate Shopify's native import tools for small to medium-sized catalogs.

Consider hiring a professional migration service for large or complex stores.

3. Preparing Your Product Data

Organize your data into a structured CSV file that matches Shopify’s import format.

Clean up product titles, descriptions, and SKUs for consistency.

Ensure all images are appropriately named and optimized for SEO.

4. Mapping Product Categories and Attributes

Shopify and PrestaShop may handle product categories and attributes differently.

Map PrestaShop’s product categories to Shopify’s collections to ensure consistency.

Double-check that product attributes (such as size, color, etc.) are transferred correctly.

5. Migrating SEO Data

Migrate SEO metadata like meta titles, descriptions, and URLs to avoid losing organic traffic.

Use a URL redirect app to manage old PrestaShop URLs that no longer work in Shopify.

Install SEO apps on Shopify to monitor and optimize your store’s SEO post-migration.

6. Testing Your Product Data Post-Migration

After migrating, thoroughly test your products on Shopify.

Verify that all product variants, descriptions, and images display correctly.

Ensure pricing, inventory levels, and SKU numbers are accurate.

7. Handling Advanced Product Options

Shopify’s product option system may differ from PrestaShop’s.

For products with complex configurations, use Shopify apps like Infinite Options.

Ensure that any product customization data is correctly migrated.

8. Optimizing Your Product Pages

After migration, take the opportunity to improve your product pages.

Use Shopify’s easy-to-customize product templates to enhance the layout.

Consider adding customer reviews or enhanced images for better conversion.

9. Maintaining Inventory Accuracy

Double-check inventory levels before and after migration to avoid stock issues.

Sync inventory with Shopify’s POS or third-party inventory management systems.

Monitor inventory closely post-migration to address any discrepancies quickly.

Conclusion

Migrating product data from PrestaShop to Shopify requires careful planning and execution. By following these best practices, you can ensure a smooth transition that retains the quality and integrity of your product data, setting your Shopify store up for success.

Harnessing the Power of Data Engineering for Modern Enterprises

In the contemporary business landscape, data has emerged as the lifeblood of organizations, fueling innovation, strategic decision-making, and operational efficiency. As businesses generate and collect vast amounts of data, the need for robust data engineering services has become more critical than ever. SG Analytics offers comprehensive data engineering solutions designed to transform raw data into actionable insights, driving business growth and success.

The Importance of Data Engineering

Data engineering is the foundational process that involves designing, building, and managing the infrastructure required to collect, store, and analyze data. It is the backbone of any data-driven enterprise, ensuring that data is clean, accurate, and accessible for analysis. In a world where businesses are inundated with data from various sources, data engineering plays a pivotal role in creating a streamlined and efficient data pipeline.

SG Analytics’ data engineering services are tailored to meet the unique needs of businesses across industries. By leveraging advanced technologies and methodologies, SG Analytics helps organizations build scalable data architectures that support real-time analytics and decision-making. Whether it’s cloud-based data warehouses, data lakes, or data integration platforms, SG Analytics provides end-to-end solutions that enable businesses to harness the full potential of their data.

Building a Robust Data Infrastructure

At the core of SG Analytics’ data engineering services is the ability to build robust data infrastructure that can handle the complexities of modern data environments. This includes the design and implementation of data pipelines that facilitate the smooth flow of data from source to destination. By automating data ingestion, transformation, and loading processes, SG Analytics ensures that data is readily available for analysis, reducing the time to insight.

One of the key challenges businesses face is dealing with the diverse formats and structures of data. SG Analytics excels in data integration, bringing together data from various sources such as databases, APIs, and third-party platforms. This unified approach to data management ensures that businesses have a single source of truth, enabling them to make informed decisions based on accurate and consistent data.

Leveraging Cloud Technologies for Scalability

As businesses grow, so does the volume of data they generate. Traditional on-premise data storage solutions often struggle to keep up with this exponential growth, leading to performance bottlenecks and increased costs. SG Analytics addresses this challenge by leveraging cloud technologies to build scalable data architectures.

Cloud-based data engineering solutions offer several advantages, including scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. SG Analytics helps businesses migrate their data to the cloud, enabling them to scale their data infrastructure in line with their needs. Whether it’s setting up cloud data warehouses or implementing data lakes, SG Analytics ensures that businesses can store and process large volumes of data without compromising on performance.

Ensuring Data Quality and Governance

Inaccurate or incomplete data can lead to poor decision-making and costly mistakes. That’s why data quality and governance are critical components of SG Analytics’ data engineering services. By implementing data validation, cleansing, and enrichment processes, SG Analytics ensures that businesses have access to high-quality data that drives reliable insights.

Data governance is equally important, as it defines the policies and procedures for managing data throughout its lifecycle. SG Analytics helps businesses establish robust data governance frameworks that ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. This includes data lineage tracking, access controls, and audit trails, all of which contribute to the security and integrity of data.

Enhancing Data Analytics with Natural Language Processing Services

In today’s data-driven world, businesses are increasingly turning to advanced analytics techniques to extract deeper insights from their data. One such technique is natural language processing (NLP), a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

SG Analytics offers cutting-edge natural language processing services as part of its data engineering portfolio. By integrating NLP into data pipelines, SG Analytics helps businesses analyze unstructured data, such as text, social media posts, and customer reviews, to uncover hidden patterns and trends. This capability is particularly valuable in industries like healthcare, finance, and retail, where understanding customer sentiment and behavior is crucial for success.

NLP services can be used to automate various tasks, such as sentiment analysis, topic modeling, and entity recognition. For example, a retail business can use NLP to analyze customer feedback and identify common complaints, allowing them to address issues proactively. Similarly, a financial institution can use NLP to analyze market trends and predict future movements, enabling them to make informed investment decisions.

By incorporating NLP into their data engineering services, SG Analytics empowers businesses to go beyond traditional data analysis and unlock the full potential of their data. Whether it’s extracting insights from vast amounts of text data or automating complex tasks, NLP services provide businesses with a competitive edge in the market.

Driving Business Success with Data Engineering

The ultimate goal of data engineering is to drive business success by enabling organizations to make data-driven decisions. SG Analytics’ data engineering services provide businesses with the tools and capabilities they need to achieve this goal. By building robust data infrastructure, ensuring data quality and governance, and leveraging advanced analytics techniques like NLP, SG Analytics helps businesses stay ahead of the competition.

In a rapidly evolving business landscape, the ability to harness the power of data is a key differentiator. With SG Analytics’ data engineering services, businesses can unlock new opportunities, optimize their operations, and achieve sustainable growth. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, SG Analytics has the expertise and experience to help you navigate the complexities of data engineering and achieve your business objectives.

- Accessibility: Cloud computing allows access to data and applications from anywhere, at any time, fostering remote work and collaboration.
