**********

Con una Bella Easo,

mi móvil y mi vaso,

me siento sola en el McCafé

mirando a vocalistas,

súper stars y artistas

que caen en el salseo y el cliché...

Así es...

hurgando en el abismo de la red social,

como ves,

yo busco escape de mi vida nada ideal...

Entre tareas y abusones,

que me tocan los cojones,

no puedo ni escoger lo que comer,

y ni siquiera salir fuera,

¿y si me atropellan,

o hago pis en la calle y me ven?

En el gram,

¿quién se divorcia o quién se casa o es infiel?

¿o quién es gay?

Y mientras tanto el mundo gira, como ven...

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

Mal me siento,

mal me siento,

cuando me encuentro en la paella un pimiento

y más una cabeza de conejo

feo y viejo,

¡aaagh qué mal me siento!

Mal me siento,

mal me siento,

cuando me hablan en inglés con un acento

y no hay vocales largas pa' distinguir

la beach de bitch o ship de sheep

¡y me revuelvo dentro como un calcetín!

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

Me toca los ovarios, rezo un mental rosario

con el perreo y con el reguetón,

se ve que ahora un par de tetas

son más que cien carretas

y esos letristas son sin ton ni son...

¡Ay qué cruz!

La Gozadera, el Sin Pijama y Kenny G...

¡Ved la luz!

A esos gurriatos ni una perla lanzaré...

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

Mal me siento,

mal me siento,

cuando ese hedor a atún en lata lleva el viento,

peor que la comida para gatos,

en el plato,

¡aaagh, qué mal me siento!

Mal me siento,

mal me siento,

cuando he de esperar y el tiempo sólo pasa lento,

y no puedo tener ni una distracción,

¡entonces yo cruzó mi límite

y saco el móvil sin más dilación!

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

La crisis del año es lo más extraño:

cuando Eurovisión

se fue sin decir adiós,

por Israel y la guerra

que devasta la Tierra:

¡al menos en Valencia

tengo la tele sueca!

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

Mal me siento,

mal me siento

cuando me dicen que la Rowling es "de cuento",

(ironía)

cuando oigo que odia a los transexuales,

¡qué bestiales!

¡Aaaagh, que mal me siento!

Mal me siento,

mal me siento,

y en esta letra expreso mi resentimiento,

y esto es sólo el pico del iceberg...

¡Esto es Sodoma y Gomorra

y en el mundo hay que ver para creer!

WIND OF CHANGE OVER CASTELLÓN

 WIND OF CHANGE OVER CASTELLÓN

A filk by Sandra Dermark

(Whistling introduction)

I follow up Colón

up to Ribalta Park,

listening to the wind

of change...

I've come to feed the ducks,

I've bought a Kaiser bread,

the terrapins and carp

eat some, too...

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

Take me

to the warmer time of childhood

on an autumn day

with a Kinder egg containing

a Frosty Frog

for my collection...

**************+

I pick a crimson rose

and tuck it on my ear,

I wear my blue jean shorts

and gingham top...

I come to Corte Inglés

to buy a Tarot deck,

up escalators to

the bookshop...

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

Take me

to the magic of the moment

on a springtime day

when the ducks' eggs in Ribalta

recently hatched,

just you and me...

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

Walking down the street

and distant memories

resurface as I take

the tram home...

I follow down Colón

down to Ribalta Park,

listening to the wind

of change...

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

Take me

to a simple time in childhood

when I didn't know

that there was a place called Hogwarts

or that I was

a Ravenclaw...

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

The wind of change blows straight

and through the doors of time...

like a storm, now like a breeze,

a freedom bell...

Let the voice of childhood sing

what my future wants to say,

say...

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

Take me

to the time I went to high school

up in Bovalar,

where I was the high school outcast,

yet so proud

to be myself...

Take me

to my uni graduation,

with a toga on,

when all my friends and my parents

feel the wind,

the wind of change...

Třeboň - the estate where learned men spoke with angels

The Midnight Archive once more - and I had to copypaste the name of the town/estate and the lord who lives there/patron of the scholars... Czech has so many diacritics!

... they are saved by a Bohemian lord (Vilém de Rožmberk), one of the richest men in the kingdom, a collector of alchemists with lands in the south. He extracts permission for them to shelter on his estates. And the whole caravan ... rolls into the water town of Třeboň among the carp ponds behind the walls of a friendly castle. 

Count what has rolled in through that castle gate. An English household 4 years from home. 

In the spring of 1587 at Třeboň, gazing into the stone, he finds it. (The child spirit) comes back to the glass at Třeboň. 

Two families, one castle, and a silence where the angels used to be. The 48:2748 minutos y 27 segundospartnership is dead. What is left in the water town of Třeboň through 1588 is the wreckage. Two households orbiting each other, a friendship curdled into accounts and grievances, and a stone on its table with nobody kneeling in front of it. 

... children born in castles they will never see again,... 

from six years of conversation with spirits in Habsburg lands.

Half a century goes by ... the command at Třeboň that handed the scrier everything he wanted, ...

 ... through the covenant at Třeboň that nobody asked her to approve. 

 In Cotton's keeping, the angel diaries of the later years, Poland, Prague, Třeboň, sit out the decades in quiet. 

the anguish at Třeboň in John Dee's own hand, 

... the command at Třeboň that handed the scrier everything he wanted,

Time for more Bellman! ¡Hora de más Bellman!

Démosles a nuestros efebos

vino y dulces y caramelos,

pimpinela que escancien ellos

en este cristal...

*

Ahí baila la bella,

con su falda rosa y su jersey,

¿qué es de la bandeja

que llevaba ayer?

Cestas de limones

nunca más sus brazos lastrarán:

¡ahora entre barones

se calentará!

Besamanos y reverencias,

se abanica y se refresca,

come gofres y toma néctar,

¡rom pom pom pom pom!

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

Where are the sweets for our little mam'sels,

wine and damsons for pretty damsels?

Pimpernel spices old Madame sells:

each their glass allows...

*

Dancing see the maiden

clad in rosy skirt and blouse appears...

where's her tray, aye, say then

that she wore last year?

Basket filled with lemons

hangs no longer heavy on her arm;

she with counts and barons

dances herself warm!

Curtsying deeply so they beset her,

fanning her cleavage, even better,

eating waffles and drinking nectar

to the drums' alarm!

ELEVEN MOONS ECLIPSED - Plot Reveal - a Tourney

 In StrixAlluka's Eleven Moons duology, her Aritsar AU, you may recall that Book I, Eleven Moons Aligned, ended with Oba Mace's funeral and the reveal of Moon Mask as Montparnasse, who reveals himself to be another raybearer, accompanied by Musichetta, Hay Lin, a little Gavroche, and a Mewish lordling by name of Devin Trunswick.

Ever since that cliffhanger, we wondered how Eleven Moons Eclipsed would transcur and if there would be a civil war - rest assured, the late Oba's/High King's council decided that there would be a tourney between the members of the Sun Prince's (Enjolras') and the Moon Prince's ('Parnasse's) councils. And yes, Musichetta and Gavroche will partake in the council on 'Parnasse's side...

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

Here are the members of each council:

On Enjolras' side:

Oloye/Crown Prince Enjolras; son of the oba and High Lady Ambassador Cvetka, heir to the throne, raybearer

High Lord Archdean Combeferre - Djbanti, death by poisoning / hallow of eidetic/photographic memory

High Lord General Courfeyrac - Nontes, death by battery / hallow of optimism inducement and happiness inducement

High Lord Laureate Grantaire - Sparti (cabin boy), death by bleeding / hallow of slowing down and taking away entropy (which works like the Stand Crazy Diamond)

High Priestess Cosette Valjean - Biraslov (half-Nontish half-Biraslov isoken), death by gluttony / hallow of glowing in the dark, a different colour based upon her mood

High Lady of Castles Éponine Thénardier - Swana (one-quarter-Nontish one-quarter-Blessid half-Swanian isoken), death by burning / hallow of lie detection

High Lord Judge Marius Pontmercy-Ghàilenor - Mewe (half-Nontish half-Mewish isoken), death by drowning / hallow of giving/taking away hallows

High Lord Ambassador Feuilly - Quetzala (realmless -ie stateless- orphan isoken dreamcatcher maker, origins unknown), death by suffocation / hallow of speaking and understanding every human language

High Lord Magus Jo-Lee Lin - Moreyao (born in Songland, Redemptor adopted by the Lins), death by contagion, hallow of healing illnesses and injuries and transferring them to himself

High Lord Treasurer Lesgle "Bossuet" - Nyamba, death by organ failure / hallow of giving good luck at the cost of suffering bad luck himself (he does so by shaking hands or having a kiss blown his way, alluding to the lyrics of "Chim Chim Cheree")

High Lord of Husbandry Bahorel - Dhyrma, death by mauling / hallow of unstoppable righteous anger-trance (think Cú Chulainn or the Incredible Hulk)

High Lady of Harvests Jehanne Prouvaire - Blessid Valley (half-Nontish half-Blessid isoken; trans girl), death by hexes, hallow of making plants grow by petting them and singing to them (her power is even seen to affect fungi, but half as much as plants).

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

On 'Parnasse's side (all of these take the same drug that Aidana takes, kuso-kuso, and they have been trained in secret in a chamber underneath Enoba Palace):

Moon Prince/Oloye Montparnasse - son of the late oba and of High Lady Archdean Klytemnestra, spare to the throne, raybearer

High Lord Laureate Devin of Trunswick (Mountain Cat Mask) - Mewe - Hallow of controlling fire (excellent breeding) - death by burning

High Lady Magus Hay Lin - Moreyao - Hallow of controlling air - death by suffocation

High Lord of Husbandry Gavroche Thénardier - Swana - Hallow of climbing up walls - death by battery

High Lady of Harvests Fleur Delacour - Nontes - Hallow of breathing underwater - death by drowning

High Lady Archdean Musichetta - Sparti - Hallow of compelling music - death by hexes

UPDATE ON TV TROPES (Female autism depiction)!

Today I visited the TV Tropes page on Hollywood Autism (stereotypes / fictional depictions) and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED on its mention of the recent trend of female and hyperactive autistic characters who are just like Yours Truly - Luna Lovegood, Entrapta, Zoey from KPDH et al. It also highlights that this depiction / stereotype is pushed by algorithms on social media (although, IMHO, it was Rowling's creation of Luna that broke the mold of Always Male autism depictions and created the new paradigm):

There are some concerns that the 'new' depiction of autism as mostly white, young women with a hyperactive, unstable personality and marketable interests (such as fashion, cosmetics, and media consumption), pushed by algorithms on social media platforms, is just as destructive as other existing stereotypes, given that it continues the pattern of erasing the lives and experiences of a wide range of people in favour of focusing on a tiny facet of a much larger phenomenon.

And for some individuals, many of these symptoms and qualities are truth in television.

TSQ-IV: THE ATLAS OF CLASSIC TALES

CLAUDIA BORDIN

In the kingdom where we are now, there is a very clever princess. One day, when she was terribly bored, she made up her mind to marry, but she wanted a husband who could give a good answer to any question and wasn't boring. On the third day of receiving prospective husbands, a boy made his way boldly up to the palace. His eyes sparkled and he had handsome long hair, but his clothes were those of a peasant.
Can ... get ... inside the palace?
... works at the palace and knows of a back door that leads to the royal chamber.
When the lights went out in the palace, ... led ... to the back door which had been left ajar. They climbed the broad staircase, at the top of which they met the housekeeper ... who led them to the princess' chamber. ... over the bed, lifted a corner of the bedsheet and saw dark hair on the pillow. ... (add continuation soon)
