Hi,

I make period drama style gifs for free. If you use gif packs, please like and reblog them. Most of my projects are already ready, but every day I post no more than 190 gifs. Because that was the reason why my previous account was blocked.

I tried to make gif packs in a format more familiar to you with a link to a separate page. However, unfortunately, I did not succeed because of the large format of high-quality gifs.

I want to explain about color processing. Usually, I improve the contrast, brightness and saturation, but leave the naturalness of the film. I don't make the contours too sharp because I like the aesthetic of it looking like a natural image.

Un bambino tutti i giorni si recava in spiaggia e scriveva sulla spiaggia:

“Mamma ti amo!”;

poi guardava il mare cancellare la scritta e correva via sorridendo.

Un vecchio triste passeggiava tutti i giorni su quel litorale, e lo vedeva giorno dopo giorno scrivere la stessa frase, e guardare felice il mare portargliela via.

Fra sé e sé pensava:

“Questi bambini, sono così stupidi ed effimeri.”

Un giorno si decise ad avvicinare il bambino, non avrà avuto più di dieci anni, e gli chiese:

“Ma che senso ha che tu scriva” Mamma ti amo! ” sulla sabbia che poi il mare te la porta via. Diglielo tu che le vuoi bene.”

Il bambino si alzò, e guardando l’ennesima scritta cancellata dall’acqua salata disse al vecchio:

“Io non ce l’ho la mamma! Me l’ha portata via Dio, come fa il mare con le mie scritte. Eppure torno qui ogni giorni a ricordare alla mamma e a Dio che non si può cancellare l’amore di un figlio per la propria madre.”

Il vecchio si inginocchiò, e con le lacrime agli occhi scrisse:

“Nora. Ti amo!”;

era il nome della moglie appena morta.

Poi prese il bimbo per mano e assieme guardarono la scritta sparire.

I watched every* Northanger Abbey adaptation so you don't have to

*Does not include written, audio, or theatrical adaptations. Excludes works that are merely "inspired by" Northanger Abbey, but not actual adaptations. Also I didn't watch the Spanish TV movie, because I wouldn't be able to understand it anyway.

Northanger Abbey (1987) starring Katharine Schlesinger and Peter Firth

Reasonably faithful adaptation (if you don't count the soundtrack, which sometimes veers into very '80s territory with saxophone and...was that an electric guitar?)

While all the actors are decent enough, none of them have a smidge of chemistry with each other.

Props for showing bits of 19th-century life we don't normally see in such adaptations, e.g. sedan chairs and the actual public bath of Bath (which seems to be more-or-less historically accurate?)

Everything feels rushed and smushed together, which is ironic because it's actually a couple minutes longer than the 2007 movie, which doesn't suffer from the same problem.

Absolutely terrible casting. Peter Firth was nowhere near charming and witty enough to be Henry Tilney, even if he is the only one out of all these versions to actually get to say his best line (the "intolerably stupid" one) in full. He comes across as such a serious, judgmental man that it's hard to understand what Catherine sees in him. And Robert Hardy is an excellent actor, but completely the wrong choice for General Tilney. He looks far too jolly, and works much better as Sir John in Sense and Sensibility, or even Cornelius Fudge in Harry Potter.

Kudos to them for finding a Katharine to play Catherine.

Wishbone s02 ep09 "Pup Fiction" (1997)

Obviously very truncated because they had to fit it into a half-hour children's show with a real-world framing story

They basically cut out all the marriage drama stuff and focus more on not letting your imagination run away with you.

Whether you enjoy it or not will mostly depend on whether you like Wishbone in general. (Personally, I'm ambivalent.)

Northanger Abbey (2007) starring Felicity Jones and J.J. Feild

The most watchable version (best acting, production value, faithfulness of adaptation, etc.)

Felicity Jones is perhaps "too pretty" to be Catherine, who is supposed to be rather plain, but she's very easy on the eyes and does an excellent job at portraying Catherine's wide-eyed wonder and naivety.

J.J. Feild is the perfect Henry Tilney. Suave, charming, with a cheerful twinkle in his eye as often as not, it's so clear to see why Catherine falls for him, as well as why he becomes so attracted to her way of assuming the best of everyone. Alas, he doesn't get to say the wonderful line about those who don't read novels being "intolerably stupid," but he shines in all the scenes where he teases Catherine. I also think he did the best job at portraying the gentleness mixed in with the anger when he rebukes her for assuming the worst of his father.

Excellent casting for most, if not all, of the supporting characters. Liam Cunningham makes for a very intimidating General Tilney, William Beck is exactly what John Thorpe should be, and Carey Mulligan, though I will always see her first as Ada Clare from Bleak House, was the perfect choice for Isabella.

The biggest downside to this adaptation is that some of Catherine's dreams and imaginings are rather sexual in tone. If memory serves, she even has a dream where we see her from behind, standing completely naked in front of a man. It's unnecessary and adds a strange sort of voyeuristic note to the movie that I didn't appreciate.

We get to see more of Catherine's siblings, which is very fun.

Does the best job at capturing the satirical tone of the novel, mostly through music and the narrator

Northbound webseries (2015-2016) by Oh For Cute! Productions

Of the two (yes, two) modern-day adaptations on YouTube, I think this one did the best job at capturing the essence of the novel. It's set forth as the vlog of Catherine Morland, a girl heading out from Fullerton, Virginia, to New York City. Instead of Northanger Abbey, she goes to North College in NYC, where she meets Henry and Eleanor, then finds out that their father is a history professor, and decides to take a class from him.

All the videos are fairly short, so it's kind of impressive how easily a coherent story can be told through them. Due to the format of the series and it being an indie production, the audio/video quality is fairly low and the actors aren't exactly Hollywood-tier (some better than others). But it kind of lends a sense of authenticity to the series, like it really is just a vlog by some random girl relating her adventures in New York.

Catherine is cute and pretty, but in a normalish sort of way that I think is very fitting for her character. She's very relatable. I wasn't sure about Henry at first, but he has a certain "dashing heartthrob" quality about him, and a great sense of humor, that are very fitting for the character. A lot of the characters are very relatable or feel like people I've met in real life, especially because of the modern setting.

Worth noting: In this adaptation, James Morland is Jamie Morland, Catherine's sister. She still has a romance with Isabella, and has much more of a presence in the story than James does in the original.

Oh my gosh the modern-day version of John Thorpe is so creepy and ick. It put the character in perspective so well for a modern audience, more so than scenes of him tearing through the streets in his fancy carriage or whatever. Like...I knew a guy in college exactly like him, though thankfully his attentions weren't turned on me *shudder*

The chemistry was really good between all the actors, so even when some of the lines felt a little too scripted, it was super believable that these people would be friends (or what have you).

I absolutely 100% want to be in Catherine's friend group (after the end, when the Thorpes are no longer around). They're all such lovely people, and seem fun to hang around.

The Cate Morland Chronicles webseries (2016) by Apple Juice Productions

Unlike Northbound, this one has Catherine in her twenties, trying to figure out how to be an adult while also being a huge nerd. Cate is running a vlog, but it's a bit more "official," because she runs a fan blog for, among other things, the cult classic TV show The Mysteries of Udolpho. She gets a job as a journalist, and continues the vlog for work. Shortly after she gets her new job, she has the opportunity to interview Henry Tilney, the actor for one of the lead roles in Udolpho. They're immediately and obviously attracted to each other, and the story evolves from there.

The setup for this series was much less relatable than Northbound, even though the characters talk about various fandoms (real as well as the fictional Udolpho show). I mean, many of us have gone through struggles like the Northbound Catherine, trying to find our way as adults and as college students. But how many of us have been journalists who have the chance to interview our teenage movie crush? And then fall in love with them for real? And end up in a relationship with them? And have it all captured on video and put up on YouTube for the world to see? It broke my suspension of disbelief more than once in that respect.

While the camera and mic quality was better than Northbound, the Cate Morland Chronicles generally seemed to have a lower quality of actors. Cate was probably the best, and Henry was pretty good too. But a lot of the supporting actors just didn't feel natural - especially James and Eleanor, I thought. It was like the difference between a high school play and a college play.

Probably as a result of the acting itself not being the best, a lot of times the chemistry between characters suffered. This was especially a problem between Cate and Henry. There were a lot of videos where I found it hard to buy that they were falling in love. The best ones by far were the road trip videos.

Oh yeah, and they had Henry and Eleanor not be siblings for some reason? She's his publicist instead. And yet they're super close, so that Eleanor can go along to Henry's house with him and Cate, and so they can preserve that fake-out moment when Cate first meets her and thinks Eleanor is Henry's girlfriend or something. So they had to have this whole thing where Eleanor explains that they have a brother-sister relationship, when everything would have been so much easier to explain if they'd just...actually been siblings, like they are in the original.

This is more subjective, but I found Cate to be kind of annoying at times. I just found her to be less likeable than the Northbound Catherine, kind of exhausting actually. I think she had a bit too strong of a personality to be Catherine Morland. To put it in Northanger Abbey terms, she actually seems to be perfectly set up to be the heroine.

Hopefully this information will help you decide which, if any, adaptations you want to pursue yourself.

#northanger abbey #adaptations #clearly my faves were the 2007 movie and northbound #despite their flaws i think those ones captured the spirit of the book best #i should probably mention i was predisposed to like the 2007 movie because jj feild was in captain america: the first avenger #not sure why i did this little project honestly #northanger abbey is my second-favorite austen novel after p&p #but everyone seems to ignore it #so i guess there were few enough adaptations that it wasn't too daunting of a task #i really wanted to assess audio versions of it as well #but the one i'm most interested in (the radio drama with emma thompson) is only available on audible :(

1,5,14?

Hi! Not sure which one you had in mind, but since I did Weirder ones first, I'mma choose those. (Lemme know if I'm wrong. ;D)

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

Darcy Lewis (MCU) has been and always will be, Felicity Smoak (Arrow) as well. Lately also Eddie Munson & Chrissy Cunningham. That being said, I have a thing for grizzly parental figure characters, usually cops. I think it's cause I was introduced to Law & Order as a young child. But like, Hopper, Joe West (the flash), Quentin Lance (arrow) all my boys.

5. what color are your eyes?

They are brown. They're just kinda, there.

14. do you love the smell of earth after it rains?

FUCK YES. Also love the smell of rain in the city.

Thank you for asking me! :D

LUGAR: CENTRAL PARK EE.UU

RESEÑA

Terminaba la década de los 80 y Nueva York pasaba por momentos muy decadentes socialmente. La pobreza, la tasa de homicidios y las violaciones aumentaban en los barrios de la ciudad que nunca duerme. En ese contexto de violencia se desarrolló la real historia de “Así nos ven”.

La noche del 19 de abril se suscitaron varios robos y disturbios en Central Park. Y También la agresión sexual a Trisha Meili, mujer blanca, que laboraba como banquera de inversiones de Wall Street, y que hacía ejercicio luego de haber terminado su jornada laboral.

La violación de Meili se hizo rápidamente mediática. Y esto debido a cuatro condiciones que crearon un cóctel casi perfecto. El hecho de ser una mujer blanca, de estar relacionada a Wall Street, un alto clima de racismo, y evidentemente, por los altos índices de criminalidad que se venían dando en la ciudad.

La serie relata como luego de apresar a los 5 adolescentes se cometieron una serie de irregularidades. La fiscalía a través de la policía presionó fervientemente a los chicos. El objeto era que se acusaran unos a otros y se declarasen culpables a pesar de su reiterada negativa de aquello que se les acusaba.

Les prometían con irse a casa si decían lo que la policía deseaba. Además, los interrogatorios se realizaron sin presencia de abogados y sin supervisión parental. Los interrogaron durante muchas horas y sin darles comida ni permiso para poder ir al baño.

Sin pruebas (muestras de sangre ni huellas dactilares) que conecten a los acusados con el crimen, ni siquiera las pruebas de semen que encontraron en la escena, el sistema de justicia sesgadamente los juzgó y sentenció.

“Así nos ven” toca la disfuncionalidad de las familias de los protagonistas. Madres que venden drogas, hijos de padres separados, familias aglutinadas, abandono, padres exconvictos, discriminación parental.

No obstante, no ahonda mucho en las vivencias y procesos emocionales que vivieron cada uno de los chicos dentro de las correccionales. A excepción de unas leves pesadillas de Artron McCray y los golpes, ataques e injusticias por parte de reos y guardias que recibió Korey Wise, quien cumplió sentencia en una prisión para adultos, se dice poco de la salud mental de los demás.

Y este detalle es, desde luego, muy relevante, dado que el hecho se produce en plena etapa de la adolescencia. Ergo, se infiere que es una marca emocional muy significativa que la producción decidió omitir.

Sin embargo, los efectos sociales post cárcel sí que los maneja bien la serie. Por la libertad condicional los jóvenes tienen que reportarse en la Corte cada 90 días, guardar toque de queda a las 9pm. El hecho ser un exconvicto les obstaculiza para obtener un empleo y los ubica en mayor riesgo de caer en actos delictivos. Inclusive son discriminados por la familia política, ciertos sectores del vecindario y por las mujeres con las que quieren salir.

Hay dos contrastes que quiero señalar acerca de los intercambios interpersonales que bordean el racismo. La escena donde un policía golpea a Kevin Richardson en la cara con un casco, nos dice: “eres negro y no mereces mi respeto”. Y la escena donde uno de los guardias de la prisión le ofrece a Korey Wise libros, revistas y naipes para que se entretenga. Le dice “hijo”, lo motiva. “Yo tengo un hijo de tu edad, si mi hijo estuviera acá me gustaría que lo trataran como un ser humano”.

Hay otras frases que dicen también mucho del meollo de este caso de racismo. Mientras el abogado de Artron McCray cuestiona a la fiscal exigiéndole una disculpa por no jugar justo y haber introducido una prueba de ADN sabiendo que no pertenecía a ninguno de los acusados, ella le dice a quemarropa: “ya no se trata de justicia, se trata de política y la política se trata de sobrevivir y no hay nada justo en sobrevivir”.

Otro abogado dice: “la evidencia es muy contradictoria, las emociones están a flor de piel y hay connotaciones raciales que hasta la dama ciega de la justicia puede ver”.

En los primeros capítulos se ve como Donald Trump, que en ese año era un millonario que iba en ascenso, y de quien siempre se sospechaba de especulación inmobiliaria, mediatizó el caso con una carta publicada en los principales diarios de Nueva York. El documento solicitaba el regreso de la pena de muerte y que se aplicara dicha pena a los chicos acusados.

Lo político tiene que ver con la justicia, pero también con otros espacios. Cuando lo político no se erige hacia lo social, y no moviliza todo su poder en disminuir inequidades y deconstruir prejuicios y discriminaciones desde las esferas políticas, económicas, jurídicas, mediáticas y sociales suceden casos como el de “Los 5 de Central Park”.

No se puede sobrevivir aplastando al otro, al más débil, al más pobre, al más olvidado, al más esclavizado, al que no tiene medios ni recursos con qué defenderse. La política tiene que ser el arte de hacer que todos puedan vivir bajo las mismas oportunidades y el mismo rigor de justicia. Eso sería lo más cercano a la democracia.

ANALISIS DE UN TRATADO APLICABLE

El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América celebra la oportunidad de informar al Comité para la Eliminación de la Discriminación Racial sobre las medidas legislativas, judiciales, administrativas y de otra índole que ha adoptado para dar efecto a los compromisos contraídos en virtud de la Convención Internacional sobre la Eliminación de todas las Formas de Discriminación Racial, de conformidad con el artículo 9 de dicha Convención. El formato y el contenido de este informe se ajustan a las directrices generales aprobadas por el Comité en julio de 1993 (CERD/C/70/Rev.3).

El presente informe ha sido preparado por el Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos con amplia asistencia de la Casa Blanca, la División de Derechos Civiles del Departamento de Justicia, la Comisión de Igualdad de Oportunidad en el Empleo y otros departamentos, organismos y entidades del Gobierno de los Estados Unidos a los que interesan más de cerca las cuestiones de que trata la Convención. También se solicitaron y se recibieron contribuciones de los miembros interesados de las muchas organizaciones no gubernamentales y otros grupos de defensa de intereses públicos que trabajan en la esfera de los derechos y libertades civiles y de los derechos humanos en los Estados Unidos. El informe abarca la situación en los Estados Unidos hasta agosto de 2000 y constituye el informe inicial al Comité.

OPINION PERSONAL

Esta es también una reflexión sobre la justicia. Una justicia que no parece ciega, ni imparcial, sino sesgada y manipulable. ¿Qué debería ser la justicia? ¿Es igual para todos? La serie también ofrece una mirada a la familia. Es muy interesante la lealtad, apoyo y constante presencia de las familias de los chavales en todo su proceso. Sin idealizarlas, y mostrando la complejidad de las relaciones humanas.

La dificultad para la reinserción también es otro de los temas que merece la pena considerar. La permanencia de los prejuicios. La sospecha que estigmatiza a quien ha sido acusado. La dificultad de tener que estar bajo el escrutinio constante de los otros. Cuando el verdadero culpable finalmente sale a la luz, es muy interesante ver la reacción de los principales acusadores (la fiscal Fairfield y uno de los policías que condujo los interrogatorios claramente sesgados y manipulados). La negativa a reconocer el mal causado. El empeño en seguir sosteniendo el propio error. Esto nos habla también de la dificultad para mirar cara a cara a los errores de nuestra historia.

"Este ha sido uno de los casos más importantes en el campo de la investigación y el estudio de confesiones falsas, sin lugar a dudas. Fue una de las alarmas que sonaron cuando estos hombres fueron exonerados por el ADN. Tras ello, todo ardió".

Northanger Abbey (2007)

PBS Masterpiece Theatre is at once an asset and an enigma. The Stateside successor of the likes of Play for Today, it at least of late inhabits a very specific slice of the cultural ken. It’s unapologetic Britcore, Regency porn for those who can’t retire to the Cotswolds on holiday and are too scared to watch Big Little Lies. All of this to say that the satire of this adaptation of Jane Austen’s gentle hatchet treatment of Gothic romance is completely inscrutable. We are supposed to laugh at the preposterous circumstances into which Catherine is thrust, and just how sincere are her reactions. She’s operating in a sphere of exaggerated custom, where every last little detail must conform to expectation. But she’s applying it to a world colored by her own reading, where every highway is filled with robbers and each abbey is haunted. Felicity Jones delivers a well-calibrated performance in this regard, wide-eyed and cranked just a degree past normal in her delivery and expression. She’s playing a game out of her league, working hard at something others are born into. The issue isn’t there but rather with the tone setting of everything else. It manages a perfect null zone that is neither satirical in how deadpan things are managed nor how high-cranked they go. This is just the same as Go Fetch a Scullery Maid or Ten Ha’Pennies to the Groomsman or any of the other baker’s dozen grandma programmes the network cranks out each quarter. It’s a perfect dead zone of a film, leaning on milquetoast chemistry between the leading pair and a blustering turn from Liam Cunningham as the conniving General Tilney. Simply not too many prospects.

Shard | lettera anonima uploadata in rete

(...ok, for context: ho finito Cyberpunk 2077 da due ore e sono a pezzi. Avevo fisicamente bisogno di prestare un attimo la tastiera a V per questa lettera sconclusionata, ma che adotterò come headcanon personale di cosa accade dopo la fine)

/// questo documento è stato caricato simultaneamente su tutti i device elettronici connessi alla rete nel più vasto - e fortunatamente innocuo - attacco informatico del 2078, in quello che è stato ribattezzato come "malware Dear Johnny" ///

Hey, indovina un po’, testa di cazzo.

Questa è una lettera per te.

Be’. Una delle mie lettere per te. Ma tutte le altre me le sono tenute, e sono solo mie, grazie tante. E’ passato il tempo in cui non c’era nulla che ti potessi nascondere.

Adesso, posso essere patetica in santa pace.

Ma questa è una lettera che invece spero ti arriverà; o che ti si materializzi in testa, ti attraversi come un pacchetto di dati. Perché appena l’avrò finita la lancerò in broadcast in tutta la rete, sai il cazzo che me ne frega di chi altri potrà leggerla. In qualche maniera, forse riuscirò a farla scivolare sotto la porta per il Blackwall, e te la troverai sotto i piedi.

Sai che io e te siamo uguali, adesso, no? Un bel pacchettino di zero e di uno, tenuto insieme in qualche modo dalla convinzione di essere un’identità coerente.

Heh. Un pacchettino, figuriamoci. Il tuo ego è così smisurato che scommetto che non ci entra, nella distopia messianica di Alt. Ti avrà già sbattuto fuori perché le intasavi i server.

Il fatto è, Johnny, che Alt Cunningham sarà anche un essere onnipotente, o quasi; ma non sa tutto. Lo abbiamo visto, no, io e te..? Perfino l’IA più spaventosamente cazzuta mai esistita può sbagliarsi. E io sto scommettendo tutto sul fatto che si sbagli ancora.

Quindi questa lettera me la sto registrando dentro anch’io; se non ti raggiungerà prima, be’, vorrà dire che te la consegnerò di persona.

…Non preoccuparti.

Non sto sprecando quello che abbiamo fatto insieme; quello che mi hai regalato, quello che Rogue mi ha regalato. In questi mesi mi sono data da fare; Cristo, ti saresti divertito. Te lo racconterò; ma dovevi esserci, choom.

Non c’è gusto a fare questo genere di stronzate, se non ci sei tu a guardarmi. O a insultarmi. O a farti insultare. (Gesù, Johnny, litigare con te mi manca come l’aria.)

Ma, vedi, il fatto è che la mia data di scadenza si sta avvicinando. Almeno, stando ai calcoli di Alt; e purtroppo, temo che su questo ci abbia preso. Mi sento come quelle vecchie carrette sferraglianti che nelle Badlands lasciavano a noi mocciosi, perché imparassimo a guidare. Quelle col motore che parte una volta sì e tre no, con la convergenza delle gomme a puttane; perché se anche le mandavamo a schiantarsi, pazienza, andava bene così.

Io sono pronta a schiantarmi, Johnny.

Judy ha lasciato la città. Non era vita, per lei; se devo dirti la verità, sono sollevata che se ne sia tirata fuori. Non riuscivo… Non era giusto. Spero che adesso riesca ad essere felice; sono solo triste per averla illusa di poterlo essere insieme a me.

E’ che questi mesi sono stati una merda vera, Johnny.

Anche adesso, a volte mi succede di aprire gli occhi al mattino e dimenticarmi che tu non ci sei. Quando me ne ricordo, è come se il mondo si sgonfiasse come un pallone, mi collassasse addosso. Sono intrattabile, irascibile e distante. Credo che ormai solo Nibbles mi sopporti.

Del resto, cerco di non pensarci. Tengo spenta la radio, non guardo la tv. Ho perfino messo un veto ai dj dell’Afterlife; almeno, per quando ci sono io.

Solo che ogni tanto mi capita lo stesso di sentire una delle tue canzoni; per strada, nei locali… Allora mi fermo ad ascoltare la tua voce, cerco di riconoscere tutte le inflessioni che avevi tu. Suono la chitarra e faccio finta di avere dita che non sanguinano sulle corde di metallo.

(Mi rode ancora non averti visto a quell’ultimo concerto, non sai quanto.)

…Hey, Johnny? Ti ricordi la volta che siamo stati sulle montagne russe, a Pacifica? Ti ricordi il sole che c’era? Dannazione. Non credo di essere più tornata a guardare l’oceano, da quando non ci sei.

Ma sto divagando. E’ che non voglio smettere di scriverti. Se smetto, mi sento di nuovo sola, mentre adesso sto parlando con te. Anche se non ascolti. Tanto tu non ascolti mai, eh, brutto cazzone?

Avrei voluto -

- al diavolo, lo scrivo lo stesso. Avrei voluto avere le palle per fermarti, là su quel ponte.

Avrei voluto - avrei dovuto dirti di no, quando ancora potevo. Dovevo sapere che avresti fatto qualcosa di stupido. Dovevo pensarci già mentre eravamo nel foyer della fottuta Arasaka; avrei dovuto chiuderti dentro di me, al sicuro.

Invidio Rogue, sai?

Ha vissuto ed è morta come le piaceva. Ed ha potuto morire per te. Dovunque sia, penso che sia felice. E’ davvero, e sarà sempre, la migliore. (…come cazzo hai potuto lasciare Rogue..? Sei proprio un coglione.)

Comunque, ecco il piano, choom. E’ zeppo di buchi e con una probabilità di successo vicina allo zero, proprio come piace a te.

Come dicevamo, per gentile concessione di Nostra Signora della Rete, adesso anche io sono un engramma. Mi trovo ospite di questo corpo, ma ancora per poco: si sta autodistruggendo, e nel giro di pochi giorni morirà.

(Cristo. Che senso ha avuto, che senso avrebbe anche vivere cento anni ancora, magari morire di vecchiaia, quando poteva finire tutto in una esplosione di gloria, quando poteva finire con te, per te?).

Prima di stirare le zampe, però, mi collegherò alla rete per un ultimo tuffo; e una volta dentro, mollerò gli ormeggi.

Non sono ancora del tutto sicura di come, ma Alt c’è riuscita, no..? Altre persone lo hanno fatto, volontariamente o meno. Mi uploaderò tutta intera nella rete, piccolo pacchetto di dati vagabondo; e da lì comincerò a cercarti.

Mente alveare, un cazzo. Alt sarà l’ape regina, ma io sono una vespa, Johnny.

Ci sono tante altre cose che vorrei dirti; ma ho deciso che lo farò sul tuo brutto muso, quando lo avrò di nuovo davanti.

Aspettami, Johnny.

Ci vediamo dall’altra parte.
