Little Maven
First, check out this awesome episode of Around the Hood in 8 Minutes, which features Little Maven. My chef buddy Josh Capon opened this joint in late November, and I finally got a chance to check it out in the new year. The Cake Dealer’s birthday weekend is always filled with great food, and this was our first stop for the occasion. We started with some great cocktails (get the Maven 75), and…

Can you list all the facts you know about Nick bosa. Right now I don’t have any crushes and my life is so boring. Can we make me fall in love. If not with Nick. Gimme someone to hyper focus on😭
LOL I feel you. Y’all are lucky to have me, when I started my Nick fixation I did not have myself as an archive for photos/gossip about him 😭
So idk here’s 10 random things I can think of:
- he likes lofi music, chill beats and bands. I’ve seen him like tame impala, mac miller, deadmaus etc
- he’s a dog person
- he likes reading and has read a lot of different kinds of books (I’ve been meaning to pick up silent patient, one of his recs)
- he likes hallucinogens lol
- he’s definitely a player (shoot your shot, you have nothing to lose)
- he’s well liked by his teammates but I don’t think he’s particularly close to any of them
- distantly related to Al Capone’s bodyguard
- he has a boat and one of his fave things to do is go boating like a true Florida man
- he’s said that if he wasn’t an nfl player he would probably be a chef or work with food
- and him and his family call sacks “squishies” which they got from finding nemo
So go crazy and fall in love or fixate lol. There’s better options in terms of personality out there but not many better options in terms of looks

Hi Nickfoo. Just wanted to spitball a potential angst/nightmare concept for the Capone family. Do we ever figure out if Big Mom's eating disorder, size and blackouts are genetic? What if it's possible that Pez inherited one of those traits? How much fear and worry would that induce in his parents? He goes in a black out craving something and hits Chiffon, Bege's castle or the crew? The last things they want to do is to pull what BM's parents did or worse, a trigger.
I don’t think it’s a situation Bege or Chiffon have to worry about occurring. Big Mom is part of the family line, but let’s look at her direct bloodline of children.
Some are very big people in the family, as Big Mom is very big. They don’t have the problem of blackouts. Some do like sweets a lot (Katakuri is a good example) but don’t have eating disorders or cravings to the point of crazied mass destruction like their mother. I also think this excess of food and sweets is part of the lifestyle in Totto Land. It’s encouraged as Totto Land specializes in lavish desserts due to Big Moms love of them. The majority of her own children haven’t inherited those traits to her extreme. A large part of why Linlin’s issues are such a problem is that she was very much enabled in her past by authority figures. No attempt was made to help her, rather it was encouraged that she be destructive and use her power to get what she wanted. It’s tragic! Of course, we won’t know much more about Big Mom and her mysterious origins other than what we currently have. (Because Oda has seen it fit to broom this interesting character from the story, by dropping her in a volcano. :))) )
Here is where Pez differs. Chiffon has never really bought into the over-glamoured image of Totto Land. She is a dessert chef, but it’s a skilled craft to her. This is why she respects Sanji so much. She wasn’t assimilated into her family dynamic due to the situation with her twin sister Lola which opened her eyes to the cruelty and injustice of her mother’s reign. Chiffon would never raise Pez in anyway similar to her previous family. She’s a good mom and sensible. Bege’s up-bring roots were entirely different, but I have a feeling he entirely supports Chiffon breaking off from her family. If Pez has any similar issues to Big Mom - which I don’t think he will other than he might have some Haki potential already - he has two very good parents and a supporting environment to help. The trigger notion seems too excessive for my tastes.

Tagged by @strugglingclassicist thank you very much I feel very scholarly.
Last read: O Holy Mountain! Journal of a Retreat on Mount Athos by M. Basil Pennington, O.C.S.O. The personal journal of a Roman Catholic Cistercian monk spending the summer on the Greek peninsula which is an independent republic of Eastern Orthodox monasteries. Beautiful and humble spiritual insights alongside political and ecumenical observations revealed in a way outsiders rarely get to experience, in a place where Christianity has been practiced more or less unchanged for over 1500 years.
Currently reading: Story of a Soul by Saint Therese of Lisieux. The autobiography of the Little Flower, more relatable in its 1880’s/90’s timeframe than many other lives of the saints, and she died at the age of 24 so in many ways she reads like just a normal young woman who happened to really love God. Flowery and sincere and sweet with deeply insightful theology.
Next read: The Supper of the Lamb: A Culinary Reflection by chef and Episcopal priest Robert Farrar Capon, recommended to me by by sister-in-law (and her friends) during a conversation about disordered eating habits. Supposed to be both funny and helpful, touching on intuitive eating alongside observances of feasts and fasts.
I will tag @dappergirlbf @brightquietude and @wholenessblooming if they’d like to share some summer reads.

Cozy Wednesday featuring Public Anchovy #1 (Deep Dish Mysteries) by Mindy Quigley #Review / #Giveaway @MinotaurBooks @StMartinsPress @minty_fresh_books
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Welcome to Cozy Wednesday!  I am delighted to feature Public Anchovy #1  by Mindy Quigley today! Public Anchovy #1 will be released on December 26, but you can pre-order it now here.
Tumblr media
Public Anchovy #1 (Deep Dish Mysteries) Cozy Mystery 3rd in Series Setting - Wisconsin St. Martin's Paperbacks (December 26, 2023) Mass Market Paperback ‏ : ‎ 320 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1250792479 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1250792471 Kindle ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0C1X7M6ZS
Tumblr media
Public Anchovy #1 is the third book in Mindy Quigley's delectable Deep Dish Mystery series, set in a Wisconsin pizzeria. While Geneva Bay’s upper crust gets ready to party down at a Prohibition-themed fundraiser, pizza chef Delilah O’Leary is focused on seeing her struggling restaurant through the winter slow season. The temperature outside is plummeting, but Delilah’s love life might finally be heating up, as hunky police detective Calvin Capone seems poised to (finally) make a move. But Delilah’s hopes of perfecting a new “free-from” pizza recipe for a charity bash are dashed when a dead body crashes the party. Soon, Capone, Delilah, and her entire staff are trapped in an isolated mansion and embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. To catch an increasingly-desperate killer, Delilah will have to top all of her previous crime-solving accomplishments, and a few pizzas, too. Dollycas's Thoughts Winter in Wisconsin can be very pretty but it's cold so Delilah has to add catering to her repertoire to keep her restaurant in the black. She and her staff have been hired to cater a Prohibition-themed fundraiser for the library at Bluff Point, one of Geneva Bay, Wisconsin's "most opulent private residences". At the last minute, one of the guests has requested a “free-from” pizza without gluten, dairy, or nightshade plants causing Delilah to send her staff ahead to the venue while she went home to gather everything she needed to fulfill the request. She unknowingly brings back a surprise guest. Before the food is served and after a little entertainment, Edgar Clemmons, former chair of the library board, tumbles down the stairs to his death. Some of the guests leave as the snow continues to fall but before Delilah, her crew, and several other guests can leave they learn that they are trapped until plows can clear up higher-priority roads and highways. It also means EMS can't get there to remove Edgar's body. Was Edgar's death an accident or was he murdered? Are Delilah, Capone, her staff, and others in the company of a killer? When the apparent murder weapon is found in an unusual place and the head librarian is killed Capone and Delilah get in high gear to isolate the killer before anyone else dies. _____ I was so happy to return to Geneva Bay and the great characters Ms. Quigley has created. At the start of the story, Delilah was lamenting mostly in her own head about her relationship with Calvin Capone going nowhere because he never called. Well spending time trapped in a mansion with the killer on the loose sure changed that. Capone's mother was introduced and played a larger role than I had expected. Aunt Biz is dealing with a huge change in her life and not handling it well. Sonya finds herself fainting at one point and in danger at another but she is still there for Delilah as she tries to piece all the clues together. Each of Delilah's staff has their own talents and interesting backstories. We continue to learn more about them in this book. Ms. Quigley's characters are multidimensional and continue to grow as the series continues. The setting at Bluff Point was fantastic. It had so many unique rooms, alcoves, stairways, an observation tower, and a dumb waiter. It was right on the water too with a dock and a good size boat. It was a character all on its own. The author did an excellent job describing everything. I easily visualized all the places and happenings. The mystery was very well-plotted with a plethora of twists and turns. Edgar Clemmons had a mission when he arrived at the party and that got him killed. The fundraiser was for the library so it was apropos that some books provided some major drama and clues. I enjoyed the way Delilah and Capone worked together, not only to solve the murders but to keep everyone safe. Yes, Delilah went a little rogue a couple of times but I would have been disappointed if she hadn't. Her A-ha moment was priceless. But it was an unexpected person that set the showdown in motion and what a showdown it was! I love that this series is set in my home state and while Geneva Bay is fictional I have a very good idea of the city it is based on. There is even a mansion there similar to Bluff Point. Ms. Quigley draws from Wisconsin history, especially regarding the Capones, Calvin's relatives. I find myself looking for little references that give me a warm feeling of home. I also love Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and appreciate the recipes included in the book. This time they include an Italian Beef Crostini and Delilah's Free-from-Pizza Deep Dish Pizza recipe for those looking for vegan, or gluten-free or dairy-free pizza but not one I will be trying. I need my meat and cheese, no anchovies, please. Public Anchovy #1 was A Perfect Escape for me. Engaging characters, a terrific mystery, and a very intriguing setting kept me entertained until the final word. I can't wait until Ms. Quigley serves up another huge slice of the next Deep Dish Mystery.

The Final Takeover - Part Nine
Ruth sat in the cafe, patiently waiting. It was a hot July day and she was glad that she was wearing a thin dress with her hair down. The cafe had a reasonable number of people in it already, helped no doubt by its proximity to the highway. The small town of Turning Creek was rural and quiet, and Ruth found it rather quaint compared to the hustle and bustle of the city of Cicero.
She had been in the town for a day, watching and waiting patiently, confident that at some point her targets would appear, hopeful and expectant that the group’s audacious plan would work as Helen had predicted. Her mind wandered for a few seconds to thoughts of Annie. Her partner and lover was to the south of Cicero in the town of Winchcombe where the highways that connected Cicero to New Bordeaux in Louisiana and St. Nicolas in Missouri converged. All around the borders of Cicero, women were watching and waiting, in cafes and by roadside stops, wherever they needed to be.
Cicero had been eerily quiet since what the papers had called the ‘Independence Day Massacre’. The city had almost been stunned into shock and was perhaps wondering what more was to come. There were no gang lieutenants on the streets and hardly any cops after the various massacres that Helen had masterminded. Most citizens quietly went about their days, albeit Ruth knew many would be gossiping and whispering about where the feared crime boss Al Capone was and how he would retaliate for the death of his son.
She pondered the thoughts herself, broken from her daydreaming by the sound of the cafe door opening. Four men walked in wearing full suits and hats despite the warm weather. They looked around, as if scouting for any potential danger before one opened the door again and in strode two older men, one smoking a cigarette, in expensive shirts and trousers.
Ruth discreetly looked in her purse and then in the mirror so she could watch the men without directly looking at them. She glanced at the picture in her purse and then the men and quietly celebrated. It was Rafael Cascarino himself and his brother Luigi. They were the head of New Amsterdam’s largest mafia family from the East Coast and the men with them must have been their bodyguards. Ruth smiled inwardly. Their suits were of such poor quality it was easy to see the shape of the pistols and revolvers they hid inside them, unlike the beautiful tailored quality of Helen’s gang.
She watched as one of the guards ordered coffee for the group and grabbed a paper, handing it to Rafael Cascarino whilst Luigi smoked. Rafael read it, mumbling to himself before showing a few stories to his brother. Ruth finished her coffee and went to the back of the cafe where there was a telephone. She dialled to central Cicero where Daisy was waiting to pick up.
“Looks like meat is on the menu for tomorrow after all” Ruth said quietly when they connected.
“Good” Daisy replied, “we’ve heard similar stories from the other gals”.
“Well let the chef know what ingredients I’ll need” Ruth said.
“I will” Daisy said, “stick with them and tail them, I’ll let our spies know”.
Ruth put the phone down and walked out of the cafe, passing by the men’s table. She heard Rafael grumbling about “that goddamn Capone…” but did not stay to hear more. She already knew why he would be grumbling. Bosses like the Cascarinos hated to leave the luxury life they had built but yet he would have felt obligated to go to the funeral of Sonny Capone in deference to his father who provided support, weapons and moonshine to mob families all around the country.
She sat in her car and took a breath. The sight of the family from New Amsterdam suddenly made it all feel so much more real for her. An end was coming not just to the battle for Cicero, but to the wider war to be the most dominant mob in America. She relaxed and waited patiently until she saw the Cascarino’s and their henchmen get into two cars after a while and drive off.
Ruth followed, always keeping a few cars behind but keeping them in sight. Within a couple of hours they had reached the outskirts of Cicero, its grand skyline of construction sites and tall buildings instantly recognisable. The family’s cars rumbled through the city streets, finally stopping near a hotel. Ruth parked a block away and watched as Rafael and Luigi were ushered inside, Luigi spitting on the pavement as he did so when he looked at the rundown building they were at.
‘They think they’re being smart’ Ruth mused. Staying away from the plush downtown to keep a low profile was a good idea, but little did the New Amsterdammers know, their trail had already been picked up. It was now evening and Ruth stayed in her car, waiting patiently and watching people on the street walk by until eventually there was a knock on her car window and she unlocked the passenger door to welcome in Bessie, who was also wearing a comfortable dress. They kissed on the cheek.
“You here to take over?” Ruth asked.
“For a few hours” Bessie said, nodding. “It’s all coming together though Ruthie, just like Helen said”.
Ruth never had doubts in Helen’s plans, and she knew Bessie did not either, but it was always pleasing to have their faith in her genius reconfirmed. “How many have we tracked in?” she asked.
“A couple dozen at least,” Bessie said. “All the major hitters from the East Coast, all the way down to South City in Florida! Families from Tennessee, Massachusetts, we even got some folks from old dusty Fort Thomas in Texas!”
“Woah” Ruth said out loud. It was an impressive number of crime families, especially as each would send at least two key members to pay respect. She thanked Bessie for the news and left her to her watch for the night, already anticipating the next day.
—---
“You’ve been looking in that mirror for ages!” Annie said, chuckling behind her.
Ruth chuckled back. “I was just straightening my tie. You have to look your best at a funeral, you know”. Annie laughed and the two women kissed. It was still early in the morning but both women were already awake and dressed in their pinstriped uniforms, eager to begin. “What do you think security will be like?” she asked.
Annie thought about it. “Probably pretty tight outside the church” she said, “but inside it’ll just be the inner circles, no machine guns”.
“Now all we need to know is where it is” Ruth said. It was the final piece of the puzzle and they would need to be ready to act when the call came in. Helen had spies all over the city and now they knew where the funeral attendees were staying, they could follow them to the place. It would give little time to prepare but Ruth knew the women were capable, ruthless and able to execute on any plan no matter what it took.
She cleaned her Thompson submachine gun, as did Annie, and then the two sat around, waiting for the call. It stood to reason the funeral would likely be in the morning, in order to give time for a wake in the afternoon and then for the guests to depart to their various cities.
They did not have to wait too long. The phone rang and Ruth snatched it off the receiver. It was Daisy.
“We’re going north” she said, “few roads closed off around St. Timothy’s. Meet at the barber place on 12th Avenue”. With that, she put the phone down and was gone, doubtless informing the other parts of Helen’s army.
“St. Timothy’s” Ruth said to Annie, picking up her Tommy gun and hurrying down the stairs. She knocked on the door of a couple of the apartments below their own where other members of the gang were staying and within a couple of minutes they had two cars outside full with women in pinstriped suits, white shirts and black ties, all of them wearing leather gloves and looking ready to strike with their Tommy guns.
Ruth drove carefully over towards the north of the city, wary to keep to quiet roads where they would not be spotted. St. Timothy’s had been one of the possible locations they had prepared for. It was one of the oldest churches in Cicero, built at the top of a hill. Whilst it had been surpassed by grander buildings in the years since the city’s inception, it would still hold a sentimental place for a man who considered Cicero to be his kingdom yet was looking for somewhere more discreet. It’s position on the hill with few roads leading to it would also make it easier to defend but Ruth knew Helen would be ready for this.
She parked on 12th Avenue and the women hurried into a barbers shop that had a ‘closed’ sign on its door. Helen was downstairs, and it was already crowded with dozens of pinstriped women. More were arriving every minute and the air was one of nervous excitement.
“Ladies” Helen said, and the room immediately fell silent at the sound of her voice. Helen Monroe surveyed the crowd, her red hair shimmering underneath her fedora. “Ladies, we find ourselves with a golden opportunity today” she said. “A difficult day ahead, as we face hardened killers but this is a moment we have prepared for over the past years and ever since our first hit in Pacific City”. Ruth saw women looking solemnly and nodding. She thought about those early moments and how far they had come since.
“But today” Helen continued, “after all our accomplishments to date, we take a new step. We won’t just shake this city, or this state, we shall shake the nation, no, we shall shake the world!” Her voice rose to a crescendo and the women cheered, Ruth stirred by her promise. “And so” Helen said, “we go forth, as one, together, and ladies…WASTE THEM ALL!”
Ruth cheered and looked around at the throng of pinstriped women. She was in charge of a section of them alongside Annie and Daisy and assembled her group together. “We move on the 11th strike of the hour clock” she told them. “We’ll head north from here, and go to the west entrance of the church. Daisy, you’ll command a car and drive by on the security, whilst we attack from behind a wall. Nobody moves before that 11th strike! We’ll use suppressors on the guards outside, then burst into the church through the western door and be as loud as we want. Any questions?”
The women around had listened intently and shook their heads. “OK” Ruth said, “let’s move”. They hurried outside to the streets and Ruth led eight of them up the road with Annie by her side. She saw one person open a door at one point along the street but immediately shut it again in terror at the sight of the women with their Tommy guns by their side. Daisy drove past briefly in a car, parking in a position closer to the west side of the church. Ruth could see the spire now of the church and looked at her pocketwatch. It was 10:50am and the funeral service would be under way.
As they approached the top of the hill, Ruth saw the wall she had been preparing for. It was low and made of old stone and she crouched behind it, moving close to the floor, not minding the small amount of dirt that would get on her suit. It was more important to stay hidden. She reached a small gate and chanced a glance through. Over the other road was the western entrance to St. Timothy’s church. Outside she counted twenty men in suits, all of them holding their own Thompson submachine guns and shifting nervously.
There was a bright flash from overhead and a peel of thunder from the skies before soft raindrops began to fall. They splashed on her fedora but Ruth ignored it. No storm would be greater than their own. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a thick sound suppressor, attaching it slowly to her gun while the other women did the same.
The church clock moved onward and Ruth began to get ready into a position she could spring up from. She signalled to each woman where their targets would be. All of them looked ready and hardened. Whilst the men watched nervously, her women had killer looks in their eyes. The clock moved to 10:59 and she exchanged a long kiss with Annie, both women not needing to say what the moment would mean or be for them. Ruth began to count silently in her head until…
BONG! The church bell on top of St. Timothy’s began to chime the hour. BONG! BONG! BONG! Ruth counted each one, tensing her muscles and ready to spring. BONG! BONG! BONG! Out of the corner of her eye she saw Daisy’s car moving slowly up the road, timing their run up to perfection. BONG! BONG! She took a deep breath in. BONG! Her finger moved to her trigger.
BONG! At the 11th chime of the hour, all the women rose in unison from their hiding position, Tommy guns levelling to fire. Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap. Their guns fired as the rain fell and Ruth saw all of the men outside the church hosed down within two seconds. None of them even had chance to raise their guns Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap. More shots came from Daisy’s car that quietly raced past the church.
Ruth kept her gun pointed towards the men she had downed as she raced across the road to the church with the other women, checking for signs of movement at any side. Pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap, pap-pap-pap-pap-pap. They fired a few short bursts towards the men on the ground, the women moving quietly. They reached the church and Ruth reloaded her Tommy gun with a fresh magazine of 100 bullets. She unthreaded the suppressor and moved towards the Western door.
She heard the sound of the priest conducting the service inside, his voice solemn but authoritative. The organ began to play. ‘Excellent’ thought Ruth, ‘if everyone stands for the song, it’ll make this even easier’. She looked towards Annie who nodded. It was time for action.
Ruth and Annie stepped forward in unison and kicked open the western door of the church. They were facing behind the congregation and she saw some members towards the back turning to look towards them, every one of them smartly dressed in a suit with black tie. Simultaneously, she heard two other doors to the churches being banged open. The trap was set. She pulled her trigger.
Around the church entrances, a hail of Tommy gun fire began to ring out. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She fired into anyone and everyone that she saw in front of her, cutting down the mobsters, moving more into the church to allow more of Helen’s army to follow her. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Her Tommy gun echoed around the cold stone building and it was filled with the sound of screaming.
“Haha” Ruth began to laugh as she fired. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She noticed Luigi Cascarino and lit him up with an array of bullets. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. His suit was ripped and his body jerked from side to side as she shot. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM.
“Woo!” she shouted some more as she fired. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Gone was any anxiety about this kill. It was now all about the women doing what they loved to do, and that was slaughter their enemies with an unflinching lack of mercy. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She reloaded her gun and immediately fired again, sweeping around the bodies in the pews and providing nobody any let up. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM.
She saw the look of surprise on many of the mob boss’s faces as they realised a simple truth. No matter how much power and money they had, it was nothing when they came face to face with a Thompson submachine gun, a bullet and a deadly woman who knew how to use it. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Ruth continued walking into the church, now hosing bodies on the floor of the mob families, leaving nothing to chance. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. Their shouts subsided as they succumbed to the death they were being dealt.
Her gun ran dry again and she reloaded. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She gave another short burst but then started looking around amongst the bodies. She could not see their enemy number one. “Where’s Capone?” she asked Annie.
Annie looked puzzled too as they scanned the bodies. The room was now silent, except for the sound of some of the women laughing or enjoying their pleasure. Ruth caught sight of Helen. She was frowning, looking around to see where her enemy was and she realised that it was the first time that she had ever seen Helen look as if something had frustrated her.
A cough from by her side made Ruth look. One of the gangsters from Tennessee was moving slightly so she trained her Tommy gun on him. BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM. She felt good knowing that he was a mob boss and she could so easily execute him. All around her, the church was a mausoleum of America’s top mafia family heads with only the women standing tall, looking powerful. It was a powerful metaphor as they walked among the bodies.
But where was the missing one? Al Capone’s body was not there. Ruth walked to the front of the church where she expected he would have been sitting and then felt something wooden beneath her feet.
“Helen!” she called out, looking down to see a small trapdoor in the stone floor that had been painted to appear almost invisible to the naked eye. Helen Monroe came running to her, pointing her gun towards the door whilst Ruth opened it quickly. There was a ladder, and then a dimly lit tunnel.
“Suzy, Ruth, Annie, Nellie, come with me” Helen said. “The rest of you, clean up here and get ready to move again. I tell you ladies, WE WILL FINISH THIS TODAY!” she roared, her voice echoing off the church walls.
Helen descended the trapdoor stairs, Ruth following close behind her, their final pursuit of this, their greatest takeover, now ready to begin.

Headcanon? 👀👀 Do you happen to know any background about the designs or dialogue or names or anything slkfslf. I hope this isn't a bother, but I'm just super excited
Its ok I'm also very excited for this event 👍
👉👈 I basically extrapolated the 3-star clear voice line where she says something like "How does it taste, the Mille-feuille that I made?" (in EN it got translated to some slice-and-dice bs lol) and imagined her to be somewhat of a decent chef/stereotypical-italian-attitude-on-food and drew her with food a few times so seeing her 1) enjoying cuisine and 2) so elegantly!!!! is so 👌👌👌
Background huh.. have you checked out my conspiracy board
Dialogue wise, there was only 2 lines in the actual event PV iirc and it's something like
"The families of today are weak. Violence in the name of civility -- This is the essence of the Famiglia."
I wasn't sure whether to put this in my funny board but names wise, Saluzzo is in the Northern part of Italy so now my Gamer Theory is that that's why she references Mille-feuille in her line because that region borders France kinda lole hehe and there was also something about that region once being something something royalty/nobility and the Saluzzo logo is the only one that has a laurel wreath like the Siracusa faction logo
Someone told me Texas's italian dub is in a sicilian accent which would be so kino if true, one lupo from the north and south each...(clamps down the texlapp part of my brain)
I guess the biggest thing other than the stream content is the one short story in TBC of Gambino and Capone with Lappland maybe I'll do a summary tomorrow if no one has already

Venice, Italy
It was ten times less populated than the likes of the capital Rome, but Éléonore Lagarde still found time to review one of its hidden gem restaurants: casa della pasta. Its popularity was notable although not the greatest, but some saw through its reputation and caught fatal flaws in their dishes, one which was blatantly obvious.
In the midst of the dining area where the colossal French woman feasted upon the Italian “delicacies”, she was down to the pasta section of the menu. One known as “tomato paste pasta” which was a signature dish of the executive chef  Luigi Capone, she twirled her fork into it, rising it up near her mouth. The waiters, waitresses and manager watched with extreme nervousness; she popped it into her mouth, taking the time to taste.
A few seconds has past. She didn’t even bother to show much emotion, just that signature cold look on her face.
Tumblr media
“Unedibly disgusting.”
A death sentence. They can all pass out from the horrid feeling that began to drown them. This was the beginning of what seemed like the end. It only would get worse from there.
