I haven't heard of that guy! But I also don't listen to "normal" music. I usually find music videos that are inspired by games. You know, like "Die in a Fire" by The Living Tombstone for FNAF. It is a metal jam, though.

OH EM G. Ok.ok. Ok. He was a bassist (as in double bass) and composer from Italy in the 1800s (romantic era) and he was like. Amazing. They called him the paginini of bassists. I was listening to classical bass music the other day (bc yknow. I’m a bassist, who would be a classical bassist in a perfect world) and I came across a piece of his and like hoooly

atlas, Icarus and Titans form the Greek asks! <3

Ok so my favourite myth is probably Pygmalion and Galatea, so much so that if I had picked out my name in middle school, I would have been named after this story. Just something about an artist, literally falling in love with their art 🥺 it’s not a perfect story, but it is a fun one!

I have a very flimsy sense of self so it’s mildly difficult. But I would like to think that I’m caring and attentive. I feel deeply for all loving creatures. I get hyper fixated on things super easily, and am therefore easily amused. I’m like if you combined a toddler and like a sweet old lady. I guess it hard to describe myself cause I latch onto the personalities of my favorite characters.

So I guess top 5, most pertinent characters I would use to describe my personality would be:

1. Michelle Jones -Spider-Man Homecoming

2. Newt Scamander - Fantastic Beasts

3. Spencer Reid - Criminal Minds

4. Will Graham - Hannibal

5. Violet Baudelaire - A Series of Unfortunate Events

So if you can imagine these characters as one human, that’s me. Or at least as close as I can accurately describe myself 😂

This is hard to answer because there isn’t really a good time for POC to travel back to 👁👄👁 but if we just ignore the systematic racism… I’d have to say the 1880’s - 1890’s. Like oh my Lord the fashion 🥺 god I adore it.

And don’t even get me started on the music. Giovanni Bottesini, Felix Draeseke, Camille Saint - Saënes… made music that speaks to my bloody soul! I mean this particular song was the 1870’s but it still encompasses the vibes of the time period I’d want to visit.

youtube

And here are three of my favourite art pieces from the 1890’s. Done by John Waterhouse, Franz Stuck and Jean Deville respectively.

Sorry if the answers were too in-depth lol, they were fun to answer!

Session 5

Christy introduced me to a Bottesini piece called "Fantasie on 'La Somnambula'"" and brought out the sheet music for me to learn and sight read. It was interesting as he showed me certain unorthodox fingerings that were not stated in the sheet music. Towards the end of the session I played some standards with Christy playing piano.

Il fondo comune d'investimento Eureka! Venture ha raggiunto quota 27 investimenti in imprese innovative

I capitali investiti nelle imprese innovative del portafoglio di Eureka! Fund e BlackSheep Fund hanno generato un effetto leva, grazie a coinvestitori, anche internazionali, pari a 1,6 volte quanto investito. Lo ha comunicato nei giorni scorsi l’sgr a valle della riunione del Consiglio di amministrazione, presieduto da Luigi Amati e guidato dall’amministratore delegato Stefano Peroncini, che ha approvato il bilancio dei due fondi. Nel dettaglio, Eureka! Fund I – Technology Transfer ha sinora effettuato 19 investimenti, oltre a due follow-on: Phononic Vibes, attiva sui metamateriali per la riduzione del rumore e delle vibrazioni e Caracol, azienda lombarda specializzata in servizi avanzati di stampaggio in 3D, che opera con tecnologie di Large Robotic Additive Manufacturing al servizio di industrie quali l’automotive, l’aerospazio e il design, che ha chiuso un round di investimento da 10,6 milioni di euro a cui hanno partecipato, insieme ad Eureka!, CDP Venture Capital sgr, Neva sgr e Primo Space Fund. Quanto a Black Sheep Fund, ha effettuato 8 investimenti, di cui 6 già in portafoglio e 2 appena deliberati dal team di Investimento, che è composto da Sandro Moretti, Umberto Bottesini, Marco Caradonna, Giovanni Strocchi e Marcello Giordani. L’ultimo investimento annunciato risale allo scorso marzo ed è quello nel round da 5 milioni di euro di Nexoya, startup che applica l’AI alla gestione delle campagne di advertising, con sedi a Zurigo e Berlino. Stefano Peroncini , amministratore delegato della sgr ha dichiarato: “Siamo particolarmente soddisfatti dei risultati acquisiti dal portafoglio del nostro primo fondo, che proprio di recente ha finalizzato con successo un importante round di follow-on nella scale up Caracol da circa 11 milioni di euro. Il team di Investimento sta inoltre finalizzando ulteriori due operazioni in ambito deeptech, tra cui quantum technology e sistemi di accumulo energetico”. Sandro Moretti, consigliere delegato ai fondi BlackSheep Fund, avviato nel 2021 e focalizzato su investimenti in tecnologie legate all’industria del marketing e dell’advertising, ha commentato: “Sandro Moretti, Consigliere Delegato ai fondi BlackSheep. “Gli investimenti che abbiamo portato a termine sino ad oggi (per un totale di circa 15 milioni) hanno confermato la tesi di investimento e il vantaggio competitivo del fondo: specializzazione, deal sourcing proprietario, sintonia con gli imprenditori e generazione di valore presso le portfolio companies. Le aziende partecipate stanno crescendo velocemente in diversi mercati, ed abbiamo già ricevuto manifestazioni di interesse per acquisizioni da parte di grandi player del settore. Proseguiamo ora nella raccolta di capitali per BlackSheep, per sfruttare pienamente le opportunità che questo settore offre”. L’sgr a fine 2022 ha consolidato il superamento della soglia dei 100 milioni di euro di raccolta complessiva per i suoi fondi, già raggiunto a fine giugno, di cui il 56% riconducibile a soggetti istituzionali quali European Investment Fund e CDP Venture Capital sgr e il 21% proveniente da corporate industriali, tra cui A2A, Nestlè, SAES, Umbra Group, Calzedonia, Jakala e Banca Sella, oltre a importanti family office, HNWI e team di investimento dei fondi. Ricordiamo che Eureka! Fund I- Technology Transfer nel dicembre 2020 aveva annunciato il secondo closing della raccolta a 40 milioni di euro, su un obiettivo finale di 50 milioni. Nel gennaio 2022 il fondo ha poi raccolto altri 5 milioni di euro dal gruppo Nestlè. Quanto a BlackSheep, ha un target di raccolta di 70 milioni di euro con un hard cap posto a 100 milioni. Il primo closing della raccolta, a poco meno di 40 milioni di euro, era stato raggiunto nel settembre 2021, grazie all’impegno di Cdp Venture Capital sgr, tramite il fondo di fondi VentureItaly, e al fondo di coinvestimento del Ministero dello Sviluppo Economico, a sua volta gestito da Cdp Venture.

All the Quiet Nights You Bear: Chapter 16

Fandom: Doctor Who Rating: General Ship: Thirteenth Doctor/Rose Tyler, Thirteenth Doctor/Yasmin Khan, Yasmin Khan/Rose Tyler, Thirteenth Doctor/Rose Tyler/Yasmin Khan, Past Metacrisis Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler Characters: Thirteenth Doctor, Yasmin Khan, Rose Tyler, Najia Khan, Hakim Khan, Sonya Khan, Dan Lewis, Jack Harkness, Ryan Sinclair Series: And We’re Not Out of the Tunnel Word Count (Chapter): 2,397 Other Tags: Fluff and Angst, Angst, Emotional, Disabled Character, Chronic Illness, Bad Wolf Rose, COVID-19, Self-Quarantine, Domestic, Autistic Characters, Polyamory, OT3, Slow Burn, Disability Read on AO3 / Read in order

Summary: Rose Tyler-Noble jumps out of her parallel universe, leaving her husband and family behind in the hopes that being back in the right universe will improve her well-being.

Yasmin Khan is out for lunch with the Doctor when she sees a blonde woman sitting on the sidewalk, crying.

The Doctor, Yaz, and Rose travel back to Sheffield to see Yaz’s family, but they have to leave the TARDIS so it can reset, and when they come back, it’s gone. The police have confiscated it, and they want to see proof of ownership before they give it back. And the Doctor left her psychic paper on board. And they’ve landed in March of 2020, just before everything shuts down.

Stranded in Sheffield, they have no choice but to get a flat and quarantine together. Which, when you have three emotionally volatile people who care for each other more than they’re willing to admit, can be complicated.

(Sequel to And Still I Will Live Here, but hopefully readable out of context. Updating on Saturdays and Wednesdays.)

NOTES: neighbor jamie in this chapter is named after jamie teegarden spacebass aka @giovanni-bottesini. thanks for the name jamie

Rose goes back into the bedroom, leaving Yaz alone with the Doctor. Yaz fidgets. She's always felt so natural with the Doctor— sure, she's been nervous around the Doctor, she’s worried about being good enough for the Doctor, and of course they’ve had their conflicts, but Yaz has never felt full-on awkward around her. But recognizing her feelings and having their intensity fully hit her has left Yaz feeling like a gawky twelve-year-old again, desperate to both hide how she feels and find out whether the Doctor feels the same.

“You've got to start talking to us eventually,” she blurts, barely aware of what she's saying. “Rose deserves to know what's going on in her own body.”

The Doctor shrugs helplessly. “I just don't know what stuff's important. I really did think she'd know.”

“Yeah, you need a reality check,” Yaz says. She shakes her head. “Doesn't matter now, I suppose. Anyway. D'you want to come with me to check the mail? I think some of our stuff is supposed to come today.”

The Doctor's demeanor shifts in an instant, and she's back to the happy-go-lucky version of herself. Yaz feels a rush of affection she doesn't know what to do with.

“Mail! Yes. Love mail. Love getting packages! Brilliant. Mail and Yaz! What could be better?” Without waiting for an answer, the Doctor runs out of the room, and Yaz follows. They pass Rose and Ruby in the living room, and then they're out the door. The mailboxes are down a flight of stairs. When they get there, there's a neighbor already there: a tall woman with broad shoulders and close-cropped black hair. Yaz stays a good distance away. The Doctor tries to step forward, but Yaz pulls her back by the fabric of her coat.

“Doctor! Pandemic!”

“Sorry!” the Doctor exclaims. “Forgot.”

The neighbor closes her mailbox and turns, smiling, to the Doctor and Yaz. “Don't worry about it. We're all still getting used to the new state of things, yeah?”

“I'd say that's an understatement,” the Doctor says cheerily. “Are you our new neighbor? We only just moved in.”

“Suppose I must be, then.” The woman nods. “Name's Jamie. I'd shake your hand, but—“

“Better not to,” Yaz agrees. “I'm Yaz, and this is the Doctor.”

“And we've got Rose!” the Doctor adds. “Upstairs. Might see her around. She's been having a rough time lately, sort of had the entire time vortex in her head a few years back—”

Yaz interrupts, raising her voice over the Doctor's. “It's nice meeting you.”

“You too,” Jamie replies, curious eyes still turned on the Doctor. “Let me know if you need any help settling in. I'm just upstairs.”

“We will!” Yaz says, before the Doctor can speak. “Thanks for the offer.”

Jamie nods. “Well, it was good meeting you!” She waves the hand that's holding her mail. “Hope to run into you again soon.”

“You too.”

Jamie goes back up the stairs, and Yaz realizes her hand is still grabbing the Doctor's coat. She yanks it away, suddenly flustered.

“Right. Mail.” Her voice is much louder than it needs to be.

“Mail!” The Doctor bounds forward, opening their mailbox. There are a couple of letters: mostly junk mail. And then there are multiple slips of paper, all directing them to pick up their packages elsewhere. Yaz looks around and sees a door next to the wall of mailboxes.

“That it?” she asks.

One of the keys on their key ring opens the room, and on a table in the middle is a large pile of packages.

“Please tell me these aren't all ours,” Yaz says, but thinking back to what all they had to order, she realizes it's entirely possible that they've accumulated that kind of pile. The clothes alone might've justified it, and Yaz is sure the Doctor's ordered a million other things they don't need.

As she sorts through the pile, she notes with relief that not all the packages are theirs. Just most of them. She loads herself up, struggling to carry two cardboard boxes and three soft plastic-covered bundles, and walks up the stairs, the Doctor close behind.

It takes a few trips to get everything up. Yaz doesn't mind: it's good exercise, if nothing else. And then she and the Doctor and Rose are sitting in the living room, staring at a pile of boxes as Ruby warily investigates.

“I don't think this is even everything,” the Doctor says. “Might've gone a bit overboard.”

“Hopefully the clothes I ordered you are somewhere in here,” Yaz says. “I'm serious when I say you've got to change.” She rifles through the packages until she finds the biggest box. She tosses it to the Doctor. The Doctor, looking incredibly disgruntled, pries it open and pulls out a lump of blue fabric.

“What is it?” she asks.

Yaz takes the fabric from her and unfolds it, shaking it out to reveal a pair of dark blue sweats with a white drawstring, cropped above the ankles. “Found this on Amazon.”

“My trousers!” the Doctor exclaims. And then she gives them a second look. “Except— not my trousers.”

“They're comfortable,” Yaz says. “You'll like them. And I got ten pairs, 'cause I know you won't wear anything else.”

The Doctor looks at her. “Gold star for Yaz, then.”

Yaz tries not to blush.

“I've got you some shirts, too,” she says. “They're not all identical, but most of them have some stripes. And hoodies, 'cause I think you'll like those.”

The Doctor starts opening the other boxes, and Rose, sitting on the other side of Yaz, laughs.

“Didn't think you could do it,” she says. “Get the Doctor in new clothes, I mean.”

Yaz glances at the Doctor, who's now holding up a brightly striped hoodie.

“Trust me,” she says to Rose. “Someone had to make it happen.” She nods at the boxes. “Anyway, some of these are yours.”

“Oh, thank goodness.” Rose leans forward. “Don't get me wrong, your clothes are nice, but I need short sleeves.”

Together, the three of them open the packages, tossing things back and forth. In addition to clothes and toiletries, the Doctor's bought a number of brightly colored fidget toys, a Nintendo Switch, and a laptop for herself and another one for Rose.

“We don't need all this,” Rose says, staring at the box that holds the laptop.

“Trust me,” the Doctor says. “You're not going to want to get through this without your own laptop. Might've gotten you a new phone, too, somewhere in here.”

“I don't need a new phone.” Rose is still frowning. “My old one works fine. Plus, you upgraded it a ton when we traveled, remember?”

“But the phones in this decade can do video call!” the Doctor exclaims. “Plus, they've got games.”

“Mine has games.” Rose pulls out her flip phone and taps at the buttons before showing the screen to the Doctor and Yaz. A miniature Tetris shows up. Snapping the phone shut, Rose adds, “I'll take the laptop. I don't need a new phone.”

“If you really want to try new games or anything,” Yaz adds, “you can always use mine.”

Rose bumps her shoulder against Yaz's. “I'll take you up on that.”

“If you say so,” the Doctor says with a shrug. “We can always return it. I'm pretty sure we can return it. Yaz, can you return things in this decade?”

Yaz frowns. “Are there decades where you can't?”

“I've said too much.” The Doctor goes back to gleefully opening boxes, and Yaz and Rose exchange a look.

“I'll help you set up that laptop, if you like,” Yaz says to Rose.

“Yeah, all right.” Rose starts trying to pry open the box.

The rest of the day passes more quickly than any of the others so far: Yaz and Rose set up the laptop while the Doctor tries on a progression of strange hats, and then it transpires that she's actually gotten three Switches, one for each of them (“So we can play together!” she says). Yaz isn't entirely sure she'll play, but she sets it up anyway, adding the Doctor and Rose as friends.

“D'you think Jack has one of these?” Rose asks offhandedly. “Bet he'd play with us.”

“Oh, and Ryan,” Yaz says. “Ryan will totally play with us.”

“Brilliant!” the Doctor exclaims. “I knew getting into video games would be a good idea.” She glances at Rose. “Have you talked to Jack?”

“Called him this morning,” Rose says.

“Oh, why didn't you tell me?” the Doctor asks. “I would've said hello.”

“Pretty sure you were sleeping,” Yaz says. “I wouldn't want to be the one to wake you up when you're conked out like that.”

“You could always call him yourself,” Rose points out.

The Doctor doesn't answer that. Instead, she says, “Look! I caught a fish!” and shows them the screen of her Switch, where a rotund 3D model wearing a shirt identical to the one the Doctor still hasn't changed out of is raising a fish to the sky.

“Good job, Doctor,” Yaz says, rolling her eyes.

They go back to their respective devices. Eventually, Rose goes off and takes a shower, coming back in a tank top and shorts, pulling her wet hair back.

“I should've gotten a shower chair,” she gripes, sitting heavily on the sofa. “Always makes me dizzy, showering.”

“We can order you one,” the Doctor says, and Yaz sees her pulling up Amazon on her new laptop. “Yaz, you don't mind a chair in the shower, do you?”

“Why would I mind?” Yaz peers over the Doctor's shoulder at the Amazon listings. “Sounds proper convenient, really.”

“I was hoping I'd get better fast enough I wouldn't need one,” Rose says. “But I suppose I've got a lot to heal from.”

“Would be faster if we hadn't lost the TARDIS,” the Doctor says offhandedly. “You can blame Hallamshire Police for this one.”

“Suppose I will, then,” Rose says with half a smile.

“And... ordered!” The Doctor closes the laptop. “Be here in a couple days.”

“Thanks.” Rose sits back. Ruby jumps up onto the sofa, curling up between her and Yaz. Yaz reaches out to pet Ruby at the same time as Rose, and their hands brush against each other. They exchange a smile.

“Doctor,” Yaz says, “now you've got your new clothes, maybe you ought to take a shower.” She nods at the Doctor's hair. “You're getting a bit greasy there.”

The Doctor combs her hands through her hair, then jumps up, suddenly distraught. “Oh no! My hair! Hasn't gotten this greasy in—“ She falters. Ruby jumps off the sofa, hiding behind the pile of boxes. “All right, you've got me, Yaz. I'll try some new clothes. What's the worst that can happen?” And then, a millisecond later, she holds up a hand. “Don't answer that. Bye!” She scoops up some clothes and runs into the bathroom. A few seconds later, Yaz hears the water running, and she realizes she's still smiling in the vague direction of where the Doctor was.

“So how's that crush going for you?” Rose teases, nudging Yaz.

“Shut up.” Yaz falls back against the sofa. “Hasn't showered in four days, and I'm still acting like this. I really have got a heavy hand.”

“A what?”

Yaz shakes her head. “Sorry. I've forgotten what slang survived the last century. I just mean I'm royally screwed.”

“You'll come out okay,” Rose says, pressing her shoulder against Yaz's. “Seriously.”

“If you say so.” Yaz pulls her focus back to her Switch, where she's been trying to pick a name for her Animal Crossing town. “Was silly of me, moving in with you two like this. Could've stayed with my parents.”

“No one wants to stay with their parents after being on their own for years,” Rose says. “Second I started working for Torchwood in that parallel universe, I got my own flat.” She lets her head fall on Yaz's shoulder: Yaz stiffens, terrified of scaring her off. “Anyway, I'm glad you're here. Think if I was all alone with this Doctor, we'd bite each other's heads off.”

“You’d work it out,” Yaz says. “You’re both going through a lot, but you’ve still got a history.”

“We’ve just changed so much,” Rose murmurs. She turns her face in towards Yaz’s shoulder slightly, and then she lifts her head. “Either way, though. Glad you’re here.”

“Yeah, me too,” Yaz decides. “I never really considered staying with my family, anyway. Would’ve missed being around the Doctor. Even when she’s being ridiculous.”

“Yeah.” Rose fiddles with the hem of her shorts. “I wasn’t going to look for her, you know. I was going to find Jack. I think the dimension cannon was still locked onto her after last time.”

“When you were looking for him?” Yaz asks. She doesn’t think she needs to specify who “him” refers to.

“Yeah. We were sort of in a rush, fixing it.” Rose is playing with her wedding ring now, spinning it around her finger. “But I wasn’t ready to see the Doctor yet. Wasn’t sure I’d ever be ready. ‘Course, I think John wanted me to find her. Or, him, more likely.”

“Why’s that?”

“I think he wanted to know I wouldn’t be alone,” Rose says. “He wanted me to have someone. And he loves me so much. He wanted me to be loved.” She’s crying now, staring out into space. “But I still love him. I wasn’t ready to find someone new. Even if someone new was really someone old.”

“Yeah.”

The water stops running, and moments later the Doctor jumps into the room, wearing the cropped sweats and a black T-shirt with a cat superimposed over a galaxy. Yaz got that one just for fun: she didn’t really think the Doctor would wear it. But the Doctor pulls it off. It’s just the right kind of cheesy for her. The Doctor sits down next to Yaz again, shaking her wet hair. Droplets fly onto Yaz’s cheek and shoulder.

“Oi, I already took my shower,” Yaz says, pushing the Doctor away.

“Tough luck,” the Doctor replies, cheerfully putting her feet up on the cardboard-ridden coffee table.

Yaz shakes her head, but she’s smiling. “Yeah, all right.” She sits back, watching as Ruby jumps down from the sofa to play in the piles of packaging.
