Crimson Crown (Pt. 9)
Cover by @pinkiemme ✨
Tumblr media
King! Miguel O'Hara x Princess! Reader
Warnings: Violence, implicit manslaughter, mild angst, Dark! Miguel, scheming, character introduction, emotional distress.
Summary: Miguel's time runs short to get you back. A new ally is brought in the game.
"Peter."
Jessica mumbled, concerned at her fellow commander's bewildered expression.
"He... He killed her?"
"Yes. Now we're instructed to wipe the D'Angelo family."
Jessica's words sat like a brick in his  stomach. Peter wasn't one to reminisce in the past, but knew that when Miguel, no, The Red King, showed up, only bloodshed satisfied the voracious appetite. Sometimes not even that.
The ever reminder of his friend's past, a nature that always caught up to him.
"He mentioned that he'd do it himself. I thought he was lying."
"Is Miguel we're talking about, Pete." Jessica secured her greaves and armor, ready for the upcoming bloodshed. "I just hope he gets to calm down before he hurts the Princess even further. What happened anyways? I saw Dana."
"She arranged a meeting. Guess she spilled it all to the princess."
Jessica sighed, rubbing her temples, "Although Dana's gone, the damage is done. Keep an eye on her and let me know as soon as Baron Darko shows up."
"Right..."
"And if possible... Keep the princess away from him. We don't know his reaction if she rejects him again."
Peter just nodded, letting a dreadful sigh.
----
With every step he gave, the more his preys recoiled. There was no room for them to escape as The Red King had blocked every escape route, and the ones that somehow managed to scurry from his blazing fury, ended up in the hands of his soldiers.
Screams and terror filled the D'Angelo Villa when the reaper showed up, in the shape of the King himself, mercilessly swinging his swords at whatever thing that moved.
The Red King took matters on his own, he wouldn't deny himself the right to end up the lives of those that reminded him of the woman that threw everything out the window, out of spite and jealousy.
With every swing of his twin swords, the anger that boiled inside, sung in delight. With every droplet of blood that soaked his body, his eyes seemed to twinkle in utter joy.
His task was clear. To wipe the D'Angelo's. It didn't matter if the house the bloodshed was happening was one of the first gifts he gave to Dana. It would burn too.
Jessica wielded her sword, sticking to only deliver the final blow if they survived the king's ruthless anger. But poor of Baroness Carla, Dana's mother.
Her pleas were ignored as Miguel dragged her by her hair to the chimney.
"Your majesty!" She pleaded and struggled  "I beg of you, stop this madness!"
She hiccuped as Miguel let her hair go
"You seem to have forgotten your place, Carla."
"I haven't! This is..." She panted and kneeled before him, begging, "Please.  Spare me. You won't hear from me again!"
"You're right. I won't. Cause I'll make sure of it."
"W-What?"
Carla's eyes could only widen at his next words.
"You'll burn. With this place."
Her head shook, just like the bird's nest she had for a hair.
"No!"
The rest of his soldiers had been dousing the villa with flammable oil, the same kind that were used in the machineries back in the main cities of Arachne.
Glass shattered, and soon smoke begun filling the upper floors, fire consuming everything in it's wake. Temperature rising and fogging up the second part of the stairs.
"Miguel, I beg of you!"
He only quirked a brow, while his eyes remained in a deadpan.
"Cállate de una puta vez. Me tienes harto." (Shut the fuck up already. I'm sick of you)
Miguel took a lamp and doused the oil around Carla that backed away as soon as the liquid reached the hems of her skirt, without much thought he clashed his swords together, causing some sparks to bounce off and bringing to life a roaring fire.
Carla screamed, trying to put the flames away. The last thing she could see was a tall and imposing shadow, glowering with red eyes her way.
But if she was to die, he'd hear her. Even if it that meant to rush her death thanks to the rising smoke up her lungs.
"You'll pay with everything you love the most! You hear me!?" She shouted with the little strength she had. "You'll pay!"
The Red King's eyes crinkled in amusement, but instead of talking, he just turned on his heels, leaving the fire to devour everything in its wake.
The door was slammed, his red eyes roared in tandem with the fire around him. Like a true demon spat right out of the deepest corner of Hell.
"Keep the fire under control. Once done, search the area."
"What about Baron Darko?"
"Let him witness his failure, and deliver him Dana's ashes once he has done so."
His soulless stare contemplated for a bit more the fire that roared alive in mighty and loud cracks as it consumed the succumbing structure. Erasing all traces of a once noble home he took under his wing.
In truth, he never really cared about Dana's family. He had initially just wanted her, but her generous soul and body had gotten her family the very same Villa that now scorched at his feet. Carla's screams echoed weakly until they were no more.
There was nothing that bound him to the past, as it burned into nothing but ash and soot.
Yet, he felt empty. And he hated it.
Despite him getting rid of the now unnecessary evil, it felt like a tremendous pyrrhic victory. It didn't satisfied him.
"Your majesty." Jessica spoke, kneeling beside him, "All the family members were slaughtered. Dana's ashes soon will be ready."
"Do you think she'd fear me?"
Jessica looked at him as she rose, surprised by his sudden question and took a sigh. She needed to be careful with her words, he hated getting sugarcoated after all.
She could only muster a "Probably."
"I need to see the princess."
"And you think seeing her after a fresh kill is a good idea, because?"
His eyes glowered at her, Jessica looked away.
"As you wish."
---
Call it good or bad luck, but you weren't in your room. His nose flared angrily and his lips scowled upon not finding you inside.
He needed to see you, to show you what he had done to try and compensate the damage he had caused you indirectly. He needed you to witness what happened when someone tried to hurt you.
Cause the ones that had dared to tear you both apart were no more. The sleazy and annoying bitch he had for a mistress was being turned into plant's fertilizer as he roamed your room. But even so, the putrid aura that reminisced from Dana's soul would surely make the plants to die. Just like her.
He wouldn't dare to soil something so precious like your playground and knowledge. He had done enough.
His eyes went for the not so hidden diary on your desk. If the many times he had read it had taught him something, was that you always keep it hidden.
Could you possibly know about him reading and invading your privacy? No. He's always been careful and made sure to put it back where it was. But the way your diary was so carelessly placed on the desk only made him assume you left it there for resuming your writing later.
His hand hesitated before grabbing the worn out leather cover with all the gentleness he could muster, to then flip the pages, as if continuing his weekly reading.
The king has agreed! Against all odds and my own nerves, I've gotten him to take a break and invited him over lunch.
I cannot wait to see how everything unfolds!
He remembered that day as it was a couple of hours ago. You had caught him off guard, with all his defenses on his ankles. How could he say no to you when you were so excited to share with him?
Now he'd be lucky if he got glimpses of you if anything .
Miguel grunted as he read the next entry.
The king. He's such a wonderful man. He's been an amazing company. We shared some more of Arachne and even ourselves. I believe that we're getting closer.
Would he be a good kisser? Probably. His lips are always inviting and delectable. Oh dear... I'm thinking inappropriately again. My heart sings with joy whenever he thinks of me as his future bride.
He chuckled, feeding his ego for a moment only to frown at the next pages. It wasn't just the way the sheets were written, but the actual state of them. Wrinkled, crumpled even with blotches of ink smeared all over.
His finger traced over them, feeling the remnants of your liquid pain, long dry on the surface. And by the many stains in them, he assumed you had spent hours crying.
His scorching fury enervated, slowly, upon reading a simple line.
I thought him different.
He gulped and clenched his jaw. Ready to keep his eyes glued on the words you you didn't speak, but wrote.
I was naive in to believing this could be different. But I think I've forgotten my place in all this.
I really tried to understand, but at the end of the day everything that matters are selfish desires. I should have seen this coming
And he should too. It was all matter of time for the bomb to explode at his face. And now that it did, he was left with so much to do that for once he was at lost on how to get it all back. How to get you back.
I had a bad feeling when receiving that letter, after my picnic with him.
His frown deepened.
God, he wanted to be able to turn back time and have Dana killed in other painful ways for being so damn bold and stupid.
I met her. I met his mistress. And god, I wish I didn't.
She is cunning enough to lure me alone, dangerous and made sure to remind me of my place in all this political game with her words. And she's gorgeous.
I felt my heart break in million shards as she revealed her title to me. The king's main mistress.
He should've definitely made Dana's death slower.
Is this why he refused to see me at first? Is this why he was so reluctant to share his time with me? I don't know what to believe anymore.
I feel... dirty.
A painful pang ran through his chest, dulling the anger, replacing it with a glum wave of guilt.
I let his hands to touch me, when he has touched her. Even though I scrubbed hard enough to make my skin burn, I still feel his caresses on me. How do I get rid of them? I feel fooled and filthy.
"Princesa..." he mumbled, guilt dripping in every syllable.
He flipped the page.
She is set into producing him a heir, or so she stated. That they've been trying even before I came. No wonder why Prince Gabriel mistook me for a mistress that night.
But, why would I stay between the both? They both lie and hurt and I know when to admit defeat.
Miguel had to clutch at his chest as his heart gave a painful beat. A frustrated sigh escaped him.
"Jessica?"
"Yes, your majesty?"
"Bring my medicine."
Jessica left, and he kept on reading.
I spilled the truth to my mother back when I visited her. Bless her, it was good to see her despite our condition. She told me, instructed me even to return home if he ever causes me great pain again.
His breath hitched as his heartbeats increased erratically.
I wanted to give him the benefit of doubt first, and I believed him
His jaw clenched even tighter as there was a smudge of ink at the end of the word. Another dry tear muddling the last two letters.
May my people and God forgive me, but I won't marry him. I refuse to lay with him, and much less in a bed where he had so many others before. Lady Dana specially. He's like the rest of those I knew.
I might be selfish to think this way, but... I thought I could have him for myself. That I could have my own family and some peace at last, but now I realize that it's all been in my imagination. I've played my role as pawn in this game and although my purpose wasn't fulfilled completely, I can only hope that the next man I'm bound to isn't a liar.
No, he wouldn't allow it. No other man would have you. He couldn't.
My mother has always reminded me that there is always more men out there that would die for me without a second thought. Would they lie too, though? I don't know. I hope not. I couldn't take another blow like this.
Jessica returned just in time before he entered into a crisis. He gulped down the vial's content in a go. The sour and foul tasting liquid slid down his throat, burning his esophagus with its much needed nastiness.
The Commander watched him, concerned as he tucked the diary back on the desk and rummaged through the several scribbled papers in your desk. He found Dana's letter, trying his absolute best to resist the urge to tear to shreds the piece of paper. It was her handwriting.
And something else he wasn't prepared for. A letter to your mother, Queen Dhalia, announcing your return to Theleria.
You were leaving.
"Your majesty?" He ignored Jessica.
Too dumbstruck and stunned to actually say something. That sapped completely all reminiscing anger out of his body, only to be replaced by something he was rarely acquainted with. Despair and fear.
You were leaving.
The thought at first wouldn't have fazed him in the slightest, he'd just go back to his own duties and forget about you in a span of days. But now that he got to share something so important with you such as his vision for his people and open up more about himself, letting you go would have to be the most stupidest of things he could ever do.
"Get me this woman..." He snapped his fingers repeatedly to himself trying to remember the name, "Lucille."
Jessica had to blink a couple of times before speaking "Beg your pardon?"
"Lucille. The princess most trusted maiden." He repeated as he reread the paper, "Send a letter to Theleria asking for her, get a group of four to guard her. I need that woman in Arachne as soon as possible."
"Right?... Is there anything else?"
"Get a room ready for her too. As soon as she's here I wanna know. Keep it a secret though. Let me know when you intercept the princess' letter to the Queen."
Jessica's eyes softened and nodded with a small smile as she left, his scribes would come up with the letter and in matter of hours, the messenger was already galloping through.
It took your tears and ink smeared in the paper to bring him back.
----
As much as you wanted to cry and hide from the world, you knew that giving in the righteous feeling of sadness wouldn't be the right thing to do.
Every time you woke up, prayed to not see him, to keep him away from you. And so far the universe or whoever above listened.
You still wanted to leave some knowledge behind before returning home. You spent your days teaching, but not in the lab.
You chose to go to the hospital instead, and see the treatments for yourself. Some effective, and others not so much.
It kept you busy and grounded as it also gave you a small taste of royal duties
And it was good. It kept you away from the ever constant thoughts that awaited for you to give into them, to plague and hunt your mind.
So far it had helped, You barely spent your days in the castle anyways, Peter always tailed behind, keeping you safe, but even then, you spoke with him when needed. It made it easier to detach from everything that rendered Arachne.
The letter was sent soon enough, and hopefully within a couple of days you'd get a reply.
Not only you missed your home but Lucille. The only one you trusted now. Soon you'll be home, away from the kingdom that brought you nothing but a few moments of joy yet so much pain.
Now you understood why the kingdom was feared. It's power to inflict such pain and suffering not only through blades and weapons wasn't to be underestimated. And you learned it the bad way.
You could almost taste freedom. Just a couple of days more and you'll be back home. There was so many things you wanted to share, so much to tell and write with your own students.
If you weren't at the hospital, you were in your room. Like the beginning of everything. Slowly rotting away, until your mother would scoop you up and save you. She refused to have her story repeated on you.
Queen Dhalia knew when to press and when to step aside. And she promised you to find a way to keep the kingdom safe. You'd be fine.
With a deep breath, you sat on the desk you had been pouring your memories into and grabbed a paper and your pen.
Ready to break your engagement with Miguel through a letter.
----
Lucille could only stare at Miguel for what it felt like forever. His order had left her speechless.
Tell me everything you know about her.
Simple as that.
Lucille was five years older than you, she had been your confidant, your friend through thick and thin, and also the one that helped Queen Dhalia to raise you and train you in the medical arts.
And now, the most powerful man of the continent sat before her, asking about you in order to come up with a plan to get you back.
"Why don't you just apologize, my lord?"
"She refuses me. I tried to explain, but... she refused to be addressed even."
"Rightfully so." Lucille mouthed.
His eyes narrowed at her words, but he could do nothing but accept them. You avoided him like the plague. In fact, he hadn't seen you in a week now.
"Having me retrieved from my homeland in order to be spilling her secrets, for you to gain her favor again seems not only excessive, but frightening if I'm honest."
"And I apologize. But the princess is to remain here."
With me.
Lucille sighed and watched him.
"She only wanted you to be honest ever since the beginning, my lord. I truly will never understand why you men make it so complicated when it's the simplest things a woman ask of you."
"I hurt her."
"Very much, yes. It'll be useless of me to tell you all you wanna know, if you don't apologise."
"Santa Muerte, mujer... what part of she refuses me, haven't you understood yet?"
"The part you skip for your own convenience? The truth?"
Miguel snapped his head at Lucille so fast his neck almost sprained, glaring both in surprise and anger. How dared she put him in his place.
"You're talking to a king, lady Lucille. Be mindful of your words."
Lucille nodded, bowing her head in a quick yet dismissive motion. Thelerian women were truly something else.
"I'm aware that my words upset you, my lord and I apologize for it. But In truth, there isn't much I can do."
"What do you mean? You were there with her when Queen Dhalia offered me her hand."
Lucille sighed, defeated.
"Neither of you were subtle in the slightest."
"And bringing me here when she's probably packing up for leaving is also subtle because?"
Miguel pursed his lips, getting a hint of where you had gotten the attitude from. You carried a bit of those you loved, close.
"Touché."
Lucille smirked and spoke again.
"You already know the only way hou can fix this is asking her forgiveness."
Miguel kept shaking his head. Neither of them seemed to cave in, but Lucille sighed.
"But if you believe that getting me to talk to her will fix this situation, then I see what I can do, I don't promise anything though."
His shoulders slumped as he sat before Lucille across the desk "Having her agree to a hearing is more than enough for me. I will apologize."
"Good. Know that doing this feels like I'm betraying her trust already. But you seem true to your intentions and that's enough for me to try and talk some sense into her. You'll let her go in case she rejects you again, right?"
His brow quirked, curious and a tad annoyed. "You seem convinced I'll get my hopes crushed."
"It's not out of spite for hurting my Princess I assure you, your majesty. When something gets into her head nothing can get her out of it. Not even I."
Miguel watched her. Probably in her early thirties, plump body shape, sharp face that only matched her hazel feline look and dark blonde curls.
Lucille regarded him with the Thelerian look. A gaze Miguel had learned to understand as a 'Truth or deceit, I'll know about it anyways.'
Unwavering, slow blinks, deep and soul searching that not only weighed words but judged silently without even actually intending to. It unnerved him. Even more when you did it. He had witnessed such stare when he invited you at the council's meeting.
"Have you disposed off your mistress already, my lord?"
Miguel nodded, and this brought nothing but surprise to your friend.
"Seems times have changed. That gives me an idea."
Miguel gestured for her to continue.
"Have you heard about our Thelerian holiday, the Festival of Embers?"
"Vaguely."
"We use such day to remember our fallen, it's also the day to remember Prince Emmett's funeral. It's a holiday dedicated to honor and remember, but also heal."
His brow quirked again.
"You see, as most Thelerian visit the cemeteries, some leave a small offers in their loved ones grave's. Mostly potions and medicines for those that can't reach the main cities for aid."
"Your point is?" His tone irked
"You can use the holiday to rekindle with the princess. She'll appreciate it so."
Miguel seemed to ponder her words. And still he was at lost on what to do. He smacked his lips before speaking again
"How does she celebrate it?"
Lucille smiled "The Princess usually goes to a meaningful place to her, lights up a little fire and burns a letter. In it is written whatever thing she wants to forget. Quite simple, but it brings her comfort."
"It shall be done."
"Then you better get your letter written soon. The festival is in two days. I must ask though, your highness."
"Hm?" Miguel straightened up as he rummaged through his desk, in search of paper.
"Why did you keep that woman all this time?"
He rolled his eyes as he resumed his search, speaking a bir curt. "I bid you a good evening, Lady Lucille."
She chuckled, pleased at his reluctance. After all you were the only one he owed explanations to.
"Likewise, your highness."
----
The loud and maddening shrieks from Baron Darko could be felt through the skies.
He cursed, panted a bit more, recovering his breath only to have it escaping again with his maudlin and desperate cries.
His family was gone. Like his home as there was nothing but ash, soot and debris before him.
Fire had consumed everything, part of the structure collapsed within, leaving a massive hole in the second floor. Black and jagged columns were imprinted on the white stony walls.
Darko's boots crunched over the tiny fragments of wood and stone as he frantically searched for anyone that remained in a piece, not really caring if his fingers blistered or splintered. But not even that was granted to him.
He found none, not even the fabric pieces of dresses, nothing.
Jessica stepped closer as the man folded over to cry and mourn, she held the small urn with Dana's ashes and placed it next to him.
"No... No! Get it away from me!"
He scrambled on the floor away from her, slithering through the dirt and debris.
"This was Dana's doing."
"Shut up!"
Baron Darko spat, everything he held dear was now gone. All because you had came between Dana and Miguel. You were the culprit of what laid before his bleary eyes.
All his descendants were gone. Wiped away in the blink of an eye. How could the king do it?
Jessica put the ashes next to him and turned on her back, leaving him on his own. With the exception of a guard.
Tears and snot rolled down and his weathered face, pain oozed out of every pore of his skin. Smothering his anxiety with something so raw and persistent. Rage.
His blood boiled as he slammed his fist nonstop on the floor, to then slam Dana's urn into the ruins of his home. An ashy cloud surrounded him for a moment.
"They'll pay... Dana."
His daughter. His pride and everything that rendered The D'Angelos. His triumph card to get him closer to the throne.
Or so he had believed for so long his delusions had affected Dana and the rest of his family.
He always believed Dana would make a great Queen. But now, plans had drastically changed.
Miguel was making an example out of him and what happens when people didn't pay attention to his warnings.
But this time, he'd prove not only the King himself but you, what he was capable of. If he was the last remaining, it only meant for him to be the chosen one to see the O'Hara and Blanchard bloodline fall.
A pair of light brown eyes watched him.
"Leave me alone!"
Darko roared but the young guard only advanced to him, Even though Arachne's uniform covered him, his heart and mind was elsewhere. There was a purple and green collar he wore around his slender neck. The braids hung loose behind his head as his soul piercing eyes bore into the distraught elder man.
"Wanna join us?"
Darko did nothing but spit at his feet. The boy looked unamused but stood next to him, repeating the question, impatient.
"You wanna join us, old man?"
Darko looked up as the braided boy pulled out a small scroll, still sealed in wax.
"W-What's that?" Darko immediately sobered up, cleaning his face with whatever means. The boy just scrunched mildly his face in disgust as he placed the scroll on his wet hand.
"Kingpin's invitation." His tone unamused, impassive with a tiny nit of apprehension in it.
Darko's breath hitched upon realizing the boy's position. A double agent.
"Are you in or not? I've got things to do"
Darko nodded.
"Then read that. We'll know if you break the rules."
"We?... Wait! How do I know I could trust you?" Although the idea of having double agents seemed preposterous, he knew the scheme wasn't impossible. Much less with a man like Kingpin at the front.
"The king ordered to wipe your family. I was in charge of Lady Dana's cremation. The king killed her by snapping her neck."
"Do you know why?"
"Lady Dana spoke to the princess. I don't know the details but it was enough to have the king angry."
"That Thelerian whore..." Darko hissed, "Count me in."
The boy nodded and turned on his back, and advanced towards his horse.
"Hey! wait! What's your name?"
"G."
Darko furrowed his brows in confusion, "G?"
"Morales. Needless to say that you'll know what will happen to you if this comes out to light."
Darko just nodded, letting the young boy leave. He wasn't older than sixteen. But ages were little when a dethroning was ahead.

5 brazilian horror movies
since it’s october i wanted to make a post to recommend some of my favorite old brazillian horror movies. i tried to add links to watch them but not all have subtitles unfortunately! this is mostly in the order i thought of them, not exactly of content/quality/whatever. i haven’t watched many myself yet but i figured this would be a nice introduction to anyone who is interested!
Tumblr media
1. as filhas do fogo (1978) dir. walter hugo khouri 
ana & diana are a couple who go on a trip to diana’s family estate - an old house owned by old money, german colonizers. there we learn about diana’s family, her controlling & wwii-obsessed grandfather who wanted to get away from everything and bought this land & her mother who commited suicide years ago. we also meet the groundskeepers who live there, including the mysterious mariana. a heavily atmospheric, dark (both in content & the poor quality of the available print..), quiet, haunting & wonderful movie. khouri was mostly disregarded by critics because he seemingly went against the grain: while directors at the time were documenting concerns re the brazilian working class, khouri was mostly in old big homes, filming the ennui of a middle to upper class. that’s not to say that his movies are without a critique, however, and as filhas do fogo is a good example of his cinema that was well aware of, not only the history of the country, but the current political climate of a dictatorship. besides all that, most importantly.. it is so creepy! this is my favorite from khouri (and not just because it stars a lesbian couple) and possibly my favorite movie on this list.
watch on archive.org (w/ eng subtitles)
Tumblr media
2. barão olavo, o terrível (1970) dir. júlio bressane
in this lovely experimental film, bressane pays an homage to horror & insanity in a very brazilian manner. the titular baron olavo owns the home which is the central point of the film and the inspiration for bressane, who saw this 19th century house as a laboratory of light. there’s no central plot exactly, but a spectacle of colors, horror, tenderness, absurdity and indulgence.. i love it. and yes, maybe lesbians are involved too.
watch on archive.org (no subtitles)
Tumblr media
3. estrela nua (1984) dir. josé antonio garcia & ícaro martins
a very recent watch, estrela nua is a movie that could be easily paired with perfect blue or any of those 2girls1persona films. carla camurati plays glória, an aspiring actress who is suddenly cast to substitute troubled actress ângela, who has recently died in a car accident. ângela was working on an incestuous erothic thriller, and as glória starts working on the film she begins to.. maybe blend with said dead actress?? obsess over her?? dream about/with her..?? you know where this is going. there’s the clear element of a film within a film in this, but as it ends we realize we might have watched more than a couple movies - and they all work. carla camurati & cristina aché are phenomenal and the great selma egrei (from as filhas do fogo) also shows up as a lesbian actress.. it's just so strange and good.
watch here (no subtitles)
Tumblr media
4. excitação (1977) dir. jean garrett
i opted for his garrett instead of a mulher... even though i consider both great brazilian horror films. both lean heavy on the erotic (or rather, the pornochanchada) and deal with, among other things, The Gaze. but i think excitação’s atmospheric beach scenes fit this list better. helena's husband buys a beach house hoping that she'll be able to rest & recover from whatever has been ailing her (hysteria..? paranoia..?). there, she finds out the past owner killed himself and that perhaps is what has been haunting her.. or is it maybe all the electronics in the house? excitação is, as i said, incredibly atmospheric. helena is mostly isolated, away from her husband, walking around the beach alone at night. she looks and looks: at the sea, at beautiful women, at every possible machine around her. this is one for the psychotic women enjoyers. kate hansen is so good.
watch on youtube (no subtitles)

5. as noites de iemanjá (1971) dir. maurice capovila
as noites de iemanjá is in my mind reminiscent of 40s val lewton films like i walked with a zombie.. both in the sense of women at the beach & also the vital element of african religions/deities, in the case of this movie the afro-brazilian iemanjá. and also because while that is the background (and it is very important to the story), the movie centers women that aren’t exactly a part of said religions, even if they are influenced by them. it’s a mysterious one, i can’t remember much of the dialogue, but joana fomm is hypnotic in this. she plays a nameless character who goes to the seaside with the lover because she is ignored by her husband. there, they watch together a group of people making offerings to the sea, to iemanjá. after this her lover disappears. it’s another good example of the mix of horror, folklore and the erotic, so characteristic of these brazilian movies of the time. this one (along w/ as filhas do fogo) shows up on kier-la janisse’s folk horror doc and it was a lovely surprise!

Deadline’s On Location Goes Behind The Scenes Of ‘Mayans M.C.’ As FX’s Mayans M.C. wraps its final season tonight, Deadline has your exclusive look at the penultimate day of filming in Santa Clarita, California. As the sets were being broken down to make way for a new production in the future, series co-creator Elgin James celebrated Crew Appreciation Day alongside stars J.D. Pardo, Clayton Cardenas, Carla Baratta, Emilio Rivera, Sarah Bolger, J.R. Bourne, Edward James Olmos, Gino Vento, Emily Tosta, Andrew Jacobs and Alex Barone. Maverick James who played Maverick Reyes, son of Adelita (Baratta) and Angel (Cardenas), was also part of the celebration as was Baratta’s son Diego who was inside her belly during the show’s second season and was worked into the storyline. For the festivities, the grounds were colorfully decorated and food trucks were serving the hungry and excited masses. Pardo and Rivera hosted a raffle giving away kuttes from both Sons of Anarchy and Mayans M.C. leaving it to the discretion of the winners. Bourne watched with a wide grin as the majority picked Mayans over his SAMCRO. Other popular items that were up for grabs included masks worn by Los Olvidados, M.C. patches framed and ready to be hung, as well as motorcycle helmets. Although an ice cream truck was on site, the Dominican cake brought by Tosta which was emblazoned with the show’s logo and other pastries was a crowd favorite. I should note that I visited the set on May 1, the day before the writers strike was announced. Although we had planned to include interviews here from the cast, the WGA is currently on its 79th day and SAG-AFTRA is on its sixth day of striking against the AMPTP for fair wages and AI protections among other important points leaving the writers and actors unable to promote projects. Nevertheless, we’re sharing the photo gallery as a hat tip to the fan-favorite series. Part of my tour included ample time checking out the motorcycles, which were cared for by picture bike captain, Nico Cope. He worked on the show for all 5 seasons in addition to credits on Peacock’s Mrs. Davis and TNT’s I Am The Night which starred Chris Pine. Much to Alvarez’s chagrin, I found one of his personal bikes stored in Cope’s garage and pretended to take it out for a spin— as if Cope would’ve ever allowed it. In the gallery, there’s a photo of Cope posing with Angel’s bike. I also got to spend time among all the cool kuttes and threads worn by the cast with a little help from costume supervisor Danny Vick. A box full of motorcycle boots was inside a box to be returned as they were rentals. I attempted to casually walk away wearing someone’s kutte but was told they were all accounted for. Just about every important set was still intact except for the inside of Felipe’s house and Coco’s (Richard Cabral) old house where Letty (Tosta) lived with Hope (Vanessa Giselle). The clubhouse was a standout because it was full of little touches not obvious to viewers. EZ’s trailer, much like the clubhouse, had an exterior look for cameras on the lot and a set inside for the interiors. I checked the kitchen for his one knife, fork and spoon but with Sofia living with him, the silverware was plentiful. As I walked to the party after the tour, I noticed two women clearing the area of two dead bodies inside their respective body bags. I had no idea how the series would end at the time, but now that I do I’m wondering who all was inside. Starting tomorrow, all five seasons of FX’s Mayans M.C. will be available via Hulu. more pictures behind the link

tutorial on drop down lists? that don’t look ugly and work correctly? lol please twine master 🙏🏻
Hi Anon!
So... I am flattered, but very far from being a Twine Master :P You should check the Twine Discord to understand what I mean, hehehe.
But a tutorial you would like, a tutorial you will get!
TLDR: if you are lazy, copy the code in my templates.
DROP DOWN LISTS a.k.a LISTBOX!
Drop down lists are lovely and useful! Whether you use it in your settings for a font change or in your story for character creation, it is very easy to set it up !
THE CODE (Story)
Say you need to add a list box in your story for X reason, like setting a betting card for definitely not placing bets at a shooting context in @crimsonroseandwhitelily.
Tumblr media
Note: excuse the bare look, this is my testing file.
Setting it up is easier than coming up for the reason to use a listbox and which option you want to add in there. You just need to use the <<listbox>> macro! See the Sugarcube Documentation for all options.
In our example, here would be the code:
<<listbox "$betwin" autoselect>>   <<option "No bet" 0>>   <<option "Baron Riley Échelles">>   <<option "Ser Carla Caggiano">>    <<option "Viscount Colin Pouinzin">>    <<option "Count Guillem of Razac">> <</listbox>>
THE CODE (Settings)
This assume that you use the built-in Settings Dialog box. If you are making a customised Setting menu, this may be different.
To have a setting with a list box, you need to create a setting with string options instead of a boolean (true/false options). See the SugarCube documentation.
Most common options found in SG templates are: font size, font family, and theme change. Let's take the font size as an example here:
var settingFontSize = ["100%", "130%", "150%"]; var resizeFont = function() {     var size = document.getElementById("passages");     switch (settings.fontSize) {         case "100%":             size.style.fontSize = "100%";             break;         case "130%":             size.style.fontSize = "130%";             break;         case "150%":             size.style.fontSize = "150%";             break;     } }; Setting.addList("fontSize", {     label       : "Change font size.",     list        : settingFontSize,     default     : "100%",     onInit      : resizeFont,     onChange    : resizeFont });
Copy the code in PasteBin.
Adding this to your JavaScript will get you the font size setting in the Settings, like shown below!
Tumblr media
Note: The order of your settings in the Setting Dialog Box is dependent on the order of the code in the JavaScript.
STYLING IT!
If you've noticed in the two previous examples, the listboxes look quite different. Not just because the first one is actually styled and the second has just the basic SugarCube style.
While you can still style your listbox quite a bit, from how it looks as is or when you hover your mouse/focus it with keyboard, there will be things you won't be able to edit. I have double checked in the Twine discord, and this is due to browser use, restricting certain aspects.
To make it easier, let's get the second screenshot and show the differences from 2 different browsers: Firefox (left) and Opera (Chromium based, right):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Differences to note:
the Chromium is more compact than Firefox
the arrows dropping down is more or less obvious
the hovered option has a different colour (grey for Firefox, blue for Chrome)
Those differences will always be there, no matter how much you will want to try to change it. Note: I don't have Safari, so I can show you how different it is for that one either).
But there are still options you can style :D
Let's take some simple examples of what you can do:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Taken from: my Simple Book Template (Firefox), Crimson Rose & White Lily (Chrome), Exquisite Cadaver (Chrome), Meeting the Parents (Chrome, also ew...).
You can add a background image, have rounded borders or borders of different thickness, change the colours of the background and text when hovered... the world (with some CSS restrictions) is your oyster!
Styling a listbox should be done under the < select > tag (it's the HTML markup the macro is based on), the < .macro-listbox > class or the ID linked to the specific list box (more relevant for the Settings).
From Exquisite Cadaver, here is the < select > option and the relevant CSS code:
select {   background-color: transparent;   color: var(--text);   border: 1px dashed var(--text); } select:hover, select:focus  {   background: var(--title);   border: 1px solid var(--white);   color: var(--white); }
Note: I use :root to save the colours I use in my code, for organisation's sake. You can use HEX or RBG codes instead of the Var.
BUT: using this option will format EVERY listboxes (settings and story ones) you have in your project with the CSS rules you included.
If you just want to edit the list boxes you created with the <<listbox>> macro, you would need to replace { select } from the code above with { .macro-listbox }.
If you want to go even more specific and target only ONE listbox, you will need to use the ID of that listbox instead. The easiest way to find the ID of a listbox is to use the Inspect function in your browser.
What you should look for:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aaaaand that's about it! Go wild with your design!
Important: Use a colour contrast checker when you choose your palette, to be sure it is accessible/readable for players.

the unraveling thread
“And with that,” the Speaker rose from his designated throne in the chamber, “The debate has been determined in favour of the majority; the Government has passed Bill 183. This assembly now stands adjourned until 11:30am on Monday, December 4th.”
Stacking her heap of papers hastily, Carla Barons-Lowe made her way through the ascending rows of desks. She exited the Chamber, allowing the heavy door to slam with a resonating boom. 
“Ms. Barons-Lowe!”
As soon as she entered the Opposition’s corridor, an influx of chatter greeted her. 
“Ms. Barons-Lowe, it is advised that you present this petition regarding Bill 183’s detriment.”
The team that she had hired selectively was in shambles. 
“Ma’am, can you give the go-ahead for this tweet?”
She walked briskly, her black heels creating loud clops as she made a beeline for her office door. The sheer sense of rage that was developing in her chest was slowly overtaking any semblance of sanity that she could maintain. The filter of red over her vision increased in opacity, tainting her surroundings with the fiery edge of anger.
“Ms. Baron-Lowes! Stop,” her personal assistant trailed after her, “we need you to get this sorted out ASAP, press and media aren’t looking good for us.”
Jacob Leader. Referred by Sheyenne, Carla’s trusted colleague. At first, he had been great at running errands and organizing the multitudes of issues within her campaign. But since the debate on Bill 183, the leader of the Opposition had just about had enough of his whiny voice grating at her every time something went remotely south. 
“Carla!” he exclaimed, “I’m so serious, we need two signatures from you an-,”
Tumblr media
“Jacob, I swear to God! Shut up! Shut. Up. I need you to quit it. I should’ve known that you’d be incompetent from the way Sheyenne begged me to let you join the team. Shut up before I do what I should have done months ago and send your ass out to the streets.”
Jacob stared at her with the same blank stare that permeated his visage whenever Carla asked a task that he deemed too large or confusing. Blue eyes unblinking with a slightly downturned smirk on his lips.
“Okay,” Jacob continued, “so, I’ll forward the two documents requiring signatures right now. And please look at the tweet too.”
His slim frame strutted away confidently, unphased by the outburst that Carla had entirely concocted in her mind. Despite her aura of fury, the words that had exited her mouth were gentle in nature and passive. 
Carla opened her office hastily and sat down at her desk, opening her laptop. She then clicked on the mail app after watching its notification tally increase by one. After signing the documents, she opened Twitter. Her feed was filled with numerous supporters that she followed in secrecy on her alternate account. Suddenly, her scrolling halted as she came across a tweet from one of her main supporters on social media that she always recognized and checked in on due to the anonymous owner's dedication to her campaign.

Ms. Baren-Lowes' response to Bill 183 today was so ingenuine and disappointing?? It's obvious she finally got FaceLock even after her opposition to the bill. There's a lack of genuine purpose behind her words now, I don't understand why she got it done. I'm gonna step away from this account.
Tumblr media
The thread under the disapproving tweet consisted of a litany of supporters — rather, former supporters — expressing the same sentiment. Carla stared at her screen, her mind going numb. 
She felt the guttural feelings of panic, regret, and sadness seizing her heart like a claw. Her eyebrows wanted to knit together in anguish and her mouth wanted to yell angrily like a baby. Her smooth hands urged to grab her laptop and smash it against the desk.
But instead, she simply sat there and stared.

Tumblr media
Tra i premiati della rassegna Musical-Letteraria Morgan, Bresh e Angelina Mango
8 nuove proposte si contenderanno il podio e il contratto con Sony Music Publishing. Tra gli ospiti anche il comico televisivo Ubaldo Pantani.
Si svolgerà il prossimo 10 Agosto in Piazza Gramsci ad Aulla (ore 21.30 - ingresso libero) la seconda data del Premio Lunezia 2023, 28ª Edizione.   Serata condotta da Savino Zaba (Rai).   Dopo l'appuntamento romano del 23 Luglio nel suggestivo scenario del Colosseo, il Premio Lunezia cala il poker ad Aulla, con un cast degno dei più grandi eventi europei e una finale nuove proposte esposta ad un contratto con Sony Music Publishing, l'attuale rotazione radiofonica dei finalisti su Rai Isoradio e nuovi lavori per uno speciale Rai TV in programma a fine anno. 
«Per la prima volta nella storia Aulla ospiterà un'artista internazionale non italiano, una presenza che vale l'ottimo lavoro di Beppe Stanco, impegnato a concretizzare gli indirizzi della Commissione Direttiva. Il nuovo impegno dell amministrazione aullese riapre le speranze di ripristinare in futuro la tradizione del Premio Lunezia nella formula dei tre giorni, tradizione più festivaliera e ancora più efficace per lanciare il nome di questa piccola cittadina, già nota nel mondo della musica leggera». Stefano De Martino
La tipologia dei premi agli artisti annunciati sarà declamata in sede di spettacolo.   Ubaldo Pantani imitatore e comico di successo, nonché volto televisivo, sarà testimonial della Mission Sociale che combatte l'azzardopatia, promossa dal Premio Lunezia, da "Lucca Crea" e da Usl Toscana Nord Ovest.  Il Premio Lunezia avrà però un secondo solco nell'impegno sociale, il Red Carpet, anticamera dell'accesso al backstage, sarà dedicato alla lotta contro l'omofobia, con lo slogan "Aganist Homophobia" per idea della stilista Marzia Cerolin. Sul Red Carpet anche la nota Drag Queen toscana Ivana Tram.  
Molta attesa anche per la finale nuove proposte:
«6 ragazzi  e due band di indubbio talento quest'anno il lavoro per promuovere nazionalmente i nostri finalisti si è intensificato vista la garanzia di un contratto editoriale da parte di Sony Music Publishing, l'ulteriore programmazione radiofonica del vincitore su Rai Iso Radio, la presenza di molti produttori musicali e la promozione radiofonica di uno dei finalisti scelto da Radio Bruno» Loredana D'Anghera - direttrice artistica della sezione nuove proposte e docente di canto al Conservatorio di Parma
