Beginning of the long-envisioned fanart series, dedicated to Bruno & Julieta’s sibling bonds over the years. I dubbed it «Time & Cure», so all follow-ups are going to be tagged as such.

Outfits, in fact, are based on the photo of baby Gabriel García Márquez (which I have suspicion might’ve been used as reference, or is this just a curious coincidence?..).

I want to thank my friend @74paris who contacted the Canarian Authorities and sent him these digitalized photos from the exhibit that Garafia and La Palma had about Maria Montez back in 2012 (more than ten years ago!!)

Maria Montez dad, Isidoro Gracia García was born in Garafia (La Palma) in April 3rd 1873 and by 1904 he settled in Barahona (Dominican Republic) with his brother Joaquín. They left Carany Islands due to economic struggles and they dreamt for a better future, which eventualy came.

These photos show Joaquín (left) and Isidoro (right) pictured in Barahona in 1908. Next we can see Isidoro Gracia pictured in Barahona in 1906. Under these two photos, Isidoro is pictured, again in Barahona, this time in 1909 and the last photo shows Joaquín in an undated photo, but my guessing is that it was taken in Barahona as well aroung the time the other photos were taken (1906-1909).

These photos were displayed in "María Montez, de la Palma a Hollywood" exhibition celebrated in Garafia and La Palma during the celebrations of MAría Montez birthday centenary.

Joaquín Gracia Anadón, who was born in Estercuel (Teruel-Aragón-Spain), in 23rd May 1841 and María Antónia García Martín, who was born in Garafia, (La Palma, Canary Islands) in 28th September 1842 were also remembered in this exhibition.

This beautiful photo taken in 1942 celebrating Doña Justa's birthday was also in the exhibition. Doña Justa Recio Sánchez was María Montez granny and Regla María Teresa Vidal Recio's mother. In this photo we can see at the left Adita with her mother, and at the right we can see Consuelo. In the front row, at the right we can see a very young Teresita. It's beautiful to see that in this exhibition, also the maternal side of María was important although there were no Canarian roots in them (as far as we know).

María Montez most intimal side was also shown in this exhibition, here we can see her pictured in 1943 at her wedding day to Jean-Pierre Aumont.

While Jean-Pierre Aumont was away fighting in II World War and María was at the highest point of her career, she invited her sisters to Hollywood as she wanted them to have a successful career. Although all of them tried, only Teresita (not shown here as she was still very young) succeed but as a High Couture model working in France in the 50s hired exclusively by Vogue magazine.

These photos are from the banners displayed in "María Montez, de la Palma a Hollywood" exhibition held in La Laguna, Tenerife (Canary Islands) in 2012, they show María's family, sisters, daughter Tina and places where her family came from. These photos come from this blog: Personalidades Garafianas

These screencaps from this video show two banners from the exhibition "María Montez: De La Palma a Hollywood" with Maria Montez and Jean Pierre Aumont and Maria's dad Isidoro, her granny María Antónia and on the left Isidoro and his brother Joaquín.

The other screencaps show Joaquín Gracia and María Antónia García's home in Garafia where Isidoro, Joaquín and their siblings were born.

This house is still standing, now I wonder... could a María Montez museum will be made here and be permanent so everybody could visit it? I vote for it, but I don't know if it will ever me made, it would be beautiful if ever that happen...

Here you have the Villa de Garafia website where is explained the exhibition.

Photos shown here are courtesy of Armando Gracia Sanfiel, the Spanish cousin María was always writing. He gave these photos to Antonio Perez Arnay to be published in his book "María Montez La Reina del Tecnicolor" (Filmoteca Canaria, 1995).

Banners courtesy of "Cabildo de la Palma", the governing and administrative body of La Palma.

Muchas gracias de nuevo @74paris por todo el trabajo que has hecho contactando con la administración del Cabildo de la Palma para que te enviaran este material tan precioso y muchas gracias por compartirlo conmigo para que lo publique.

The Family Tree of Roo

Now that I've posted pretty much the entire family, here's the family tree :) I still have some characters to make, notably: Sean, Evan and Josey I'm thinking of doing Mateo and Noah, but I'm not sure... 🤔

Clarifications that weren't obvious (or were) that I wanted to make clear under the cut, as well as mentions of death, custody court cases, and just bad parenting. Also it gets long

And if you've looked at the tags in my pinned post, you'll notice a few new names not listed in the family tree or that haven't been mentioned in Roo's story, so to clarify: The Roo-seum's intent was to show off his story, while I could've (and should've) included stories like him going to Sweden for Deli, I didn't... and that's a me thing because I actually hadn't developed that much of the story at that point, but I still don't think I would've included it in the Roo-seum, because it's about him, and his story, and also he didn't even know his siblings that well, sure, I could've included Jordy in his story, but I didn't, womp womp.

Some other things to clarify, language and origins:

Virginia is Swedish, but lived in the US with her parents, so she does not know Swedish that well. Reese is not fully Swedish, but has Swedish blood, his blood has traces of DNA from all over the Scandinavia area, and Swedish is the highest presenting. Roo and Jordy are Swedish, Jordy, for whatever reason, does not look like her parents at all, and they still aren't sure why, a DNA test proved she was Swedish, and was their child. Devan and Deli are Swedish, Devan speaks primarily Swedish, and speaks broken English, relying on (previously) Roo and (now) Jordy, however he is very passionate about linguistics (as mentioned in his post), so he wants to learn about languages, learn new languages and become fluent in English. Deli is fluent in both Swedish and English, Roo taught her most of her English and Virginia taught her some English when she visited, and Deli was able to fill in the dots for English herself. Juno is a Swede-Spaniard, she's fluent in Spanish and English, although her Spanish speaking skills are slowly becoming more and more rusty as Mateo progressively speaks more English to her.

Age, death and relationships:

Virginia and Reese met in High School, and were inseparable since than, eventually beginning to date when she was 18, and he was 20, and Virginia ended up pregnant with Jordy after one special night Virginia had Jordy when she was 20, and Reese was 24 Reese died August 5th, 1995 at the age of 31, a couple months before Roo was born, Jordy was almost 7 years old at the time, and Virginia was 29 years old Reese's cause of death is unknown (aka undetermined, haven't chosen what it should be yet) After Reese died, Virginia spiraled and began having hookups with guys, one of which was Noah Blom, who, after finding out she was pregnant, decided to stay by her side to care for the child, although regardless, Virginia was determined unable to care for the child, and Noah was to take care of Devan, Virginia co-parented on the sidelines and Noah and her continued to date. After one night, however, she completely vanished, leaving Noah, she didn't tell him anything other then that she was off for work. 9 months later, on Feb 16, 2009, she returned to Sweden, to Noah, to hand over her second child of his, Deliahna, to which he was disgusted and perturbed, he couldn't believe she held back such a lie from him, breaking up with her right then and there, however he was still required to take care of Deli, with Virginia co-parenting, and so he did (a terrible job at taking care of my baby Deli). Virginia moved to Spain after a while, to pursue something new and get away from Sweden, which reminded her so much of Reese and what she thought was the cause for her irregular pattern of depression, having another hookup with a man, named Mateo García, they separated shortly after, but it didn't take long for her to come back to him with a pregnancy test that said positive, and where he was elated, she was heartbroken, another child of hers, cursed to a life of no mother, she just wanted one child she could care for, so when it came around for the custody court case, she tried to prove that she was capable of caring for a child, but she was still not allowed to keep custody over Juno, and Mateo gladly took over parenting for Virginia while she recovered, with occasional visits to/for Juno, Mateo and Virginia didn't pursue anything, they felt no attraction to each other, but were glad to co-parent (even though internally Virginia was furious, wishing she could just be the main parent).

If I can think of anymore things that need to be clarified, I will add them later :).

-Camila Marchant (Younger sister) (alive)

-Gabriel Martínez (Uncle) (alive)

PERSONALITY

-Currently she is quiet and serious, but deep down cares deeply for her family and friends. That gave her a loyalty that goes over the edge and makes her capable of doing everything in order to protect them. Maybe she doesn't say anything to their team and yet...maybe some of them will find their favorite snack or some ibuprofen when someone say something about a headache.

-As they work with other teams or companies, she always take a protective stand. She don't normally is paranoid, but always remain alert.

-For what her team have heard from Edward: Before one of the last missions as the Captain of the Task Force 267, she was really talkative and joyous. That was the way they met, but...it wasn't like that anymore. And even then there are times where during a rest they can hear an honest and happy laugh coming from her, or corny jokes when she's on the mood. Also there is something that no one except Luke and Edward know, and it's that some days she writes and sing with a big smile when she thinks no one is looking, which made her look younger and brighter.

-They have never seen her angry, maybe pissed off and impatient, but never really furious. Not even Edward. Well, that until Wraith gave her and Luke a mission which involved a remain of Carabalí's web. Everything almost went south and he watched her snapping...if he ever says something about that mission it would be: "when our Captain snaps, run and pray for your damned life if you are the objective of her fury".

BIOGRAPHY

Born in Arlington, Texas, as the middle sibling of three. Always active, curious and excited for everything around her, specially stories. At first she thought of become a historian, since she had a insatiable appetite for knowledge...al least until meeting her uncle Gabriel. In despite that her mother wanted her not to hear the stories about the guerrillas or cárteles, she never stopped and decided that once she was old enough she'll enlist.

And so she did. Everyone thought it just would be forgotten once she finished high school, but when the time came...Alicia went to the recruit office. To be honest, not even her Drill Sergeants thought she'd last enough, and they tried to became her life a living hell. More than desmotivate her, it just hurted her pride and made her want to prove them wrong.

'Blood, sweat and tears' is what she always said when someone ask how she got so respected. And is not far from the truth, during her whole career she has gained their men trust and that's what got her the loyalty of all their man. So after some years her rank became 'Lieutenant' and was assigned to the Task Force 267 where Captain Reyes was his officer in command.

She met Edward during a mission on the Middle East, and from then passed five years until the next time they would see eachother. During that time she became a Captain as well and the Task Force was under her command...until the mission in Angola, given the name 'Operation Firewall'. That was the last mission for said Task Force.

Alicia never says anything about that mission, but what's known is that all of them were captured and interrogated, and that she is the last survivor. Her mind after that day was cracked due to the torture, physical and mental, as well that her body was scarred. But testimonies of the recon team assigned to investigate that place say something about that day.

Nothing gave indications of a fight when they arrived, on the contrary, it was silent. A silence of death. Because there wasn't a fight, it was something else. The only thing they heard was steps, Alicia's steps, and she emerged from inside.

She was covered in blood, the face almost destroyed, part of her skin burnt beyond recognition, the arms with cuts to the bone and the eyes...her eyes were something far from human in that moment. If she was respected before, after that time in Angola and see Carabalí's head in her hand, she was feared. And she was transported to the near military base, where no word was said until later.

The Captain was put on temporary leave until given the psychiatric permission, and so she was driven to her family home. For three months she was unable to recieve, or refrained herself, human touch and all her family knew something changed deep down. There was only one time where her mother tried to touch her by surprise during a moment of disociation, and the look on her daugther's eyes froze her blood. It was necessary that her military uncle tackled her before an accident would have occured.

A year passed before the permission was given and then she went back to Camp Pendelton to do administrative duties, and that remained for a year before Wraith contacted her. A new team was made under Alicia's and Dominique's command, created for infiltration, elimination and sabotage missions, the codename was 'Specters'. Every soldier was picked by Alicia.

They still on active service and since the start of the team another five years have passed. She stills on command of the team.

SKILLS

-Expert on hand-by-hand combat.

-Survival expert.

-Has had some missions on every kind of environment, and so she became adaptable into every situation.

-Amazing in situ strategist.

COMBAT

Her combat style is mostly focused on quickness, strength and agility. The marcial arts she uses apart of the military combat are Krav Maga and Kung Fu, which she started to learn during her adolescence. As she needs to be moving every moment in the fight, as well she needs a weapon that doesn't get lost if the grip loosens a bit.

Becuase of that, her main choice weapon is a karambit (filipin combat knife).

TRIVIA

-She'll never admit to anyone except Luke that she wanted to do a degree before enlisting. Even if that was her plan, during the moment she was required to present her application to university the economic situation of her family wasn't the best. And so she decided to enlist right away to give Camila the opportunity to go and study. No one knows except Luke and they have long conversations about all kind of topics since she got the old books of her siblings.

-When off duty, she pass the time on the ranch, riding and helping her parents. But sometimes travel to visit her boys, mostly Alexander's family bakery and Luke's home. Also loves driving around the state and even goes to others when is able.

-Her car is a '67 black Chevy Impala that her grandpa gave her. She couldn't help but laugh once she learned about Supernatural and the Winchester's car, mostly because Elijah and Francis were really excited the first time they saw the car. From day to day she take some of the boys to a ride, and has heard that they fight for the turns.

-The first callsign she had was because a vigilance shift. Normally the soldiers started slacking at some point during matutine shifts, but when was her turn, everyone compared her to a statue. Then someone said she looked like a stone guardian from old tales and the word spread, next she knew, everyone was calling her "Guardian".

-Her favorite drink is coffee, her grandma gave it to her since she was a little girl. And her favorite food is Ajiaco, she has fought her siblings just to get seconds.

-The smell of sandal help her to relax and she doesn't have an explanation of why. It just bring her back to better times, that's enough. Normally has a candle inside her office, and her hand soap also smell like it, she's even considering get some incense.

my headcanon contribution for el matador because he’s also important to me

- eduardo mansouri iglesias aka el matador

- for main series i put that he is 33 years old but idk he just has to be around his 30s anyway, but going with that, in rookie season he is 29 years old

- i think it is canon that he was born in spain, but my hc birth-city is madrid

- he’s predominantly of spanish descent, but he also has some algerian (arab-amazigh) ancestry

- el does not like to admit this but he doesn’t have perfect vision, so his custom-made glasses act like eyeglasses (would be ironic cuz his jersey number is 20 but doesn’t have 20/20 vision lol)

- he would dye his hair to cover up his grey hair; in the future he would stop doing it

- he probably already has a skincare line and it is surprisingly successful

- if el were to get pursue higher education, he would probably pursue in some type of business or marketing program, maybe even fashion (in all honesty he doesn’t seem to have any interest in doing college)

family

- el’s father’s name is mateo mansouri garcía. he is a retired professional football player. he is of spanish and algerian descent.

- el’s mother’s name is valeria iglesias moreno. she is a retired professional flamenco dancer. she is of spanish descent.

- el has like so many siblings, i think it’s canon that he has 12 siblings?? regardless i like to think that el is the youngest child in the family. some, like el, pursue football, some pursue flamenco, and others pursue other careers.

- el and all his siblings attended a boarding school in barcelona

- all family members were born in madrid!

#supa strikas #el matador #supa strikas hcs #headcanons #i used to hate el cuz of the fandom #now i feel like he deserves better #i spent more time on the names #the only narcissist i like

‘Your mum came by. We had a very nice talk! She left a note for you.’

Surprise that left her blinking a couple of times in awe, unable to find the words. Her mum did… what? Andrómeda knew she was the only one out of the three siblings that lived in New Atlantis, and that her parents missed Hérc and Cass to death, but this was too much. With a strained smile and burning cheeks –she was only able to blush when it came to María and Fernando García–, she grabbed the slate her colleague was handing her and put it in one of the many pockets of her cargo trousers.

‘Thank you, I’ll… listen to it later. I have work to do.’

If the work consisted of boring patrols in the Well and it was an excuse for her to not immediately listen to whatever her mother had to say, nobody had to know.

This was Andro’s least favorite part of the city; the subterranean one.

A place filled with noise and people, most of them living in quite poor conditions. Like Cydonia, but on a different planet. Like Cydonia, if around thirty-five percent of the population was rich and able to live on the surface, while the rest of society didn’t even get to enjoy the rays of sun on their skin.

So, worse than Mars, even, and that was saying something.

Most people in the Well acted as if the Security Officers from the United Colonies didn’t exist. And that was alright with her, honestly, because she sort of also pretended to not be aware of… them. When she was in her nice, fancy apartment in the Mercury Tower, enjoying a cup of Terra Brew coffee. When she spent an amount of money that was, definitely, much more than those people earned in an entire month in a dress. When she went to expensive restaurants with her friends once her shift ended.

It was… uncomfortable, to say the very least. She had tried to get her supervisor to give her anything, any other assignment, but…

‘You recently got injured. The doctor said your rib dislocated and punctured your lung. You are healing nicely but you can’t be on the field yet, Andrómeda.’

And there she was. In the Well. In the year 2330. Stuck in a small planet while there were over 120 systems, 1,700 planets and moons in total.

But some people had it worse.

Like the Martians.

Her dark eyes traveled around Jake’s Bar, in which people were drowning their sorrows in beer, whiskey, or other liquors. There were also a lot of wannabe pilots, weapon specialists and shields engineers, hoping that some captain would give them a place in their crew. She would have to ask Cass, if she required any assistance…

There were also two men, drawing attention to themselves because they were laughing. Laughing out loud, in fact. A sound that wasn’t that popular underground. Most people avoided them, as if they were spreading radiation with that simple gesture, as if they had a deadly illness like the plague had once been on Earth. Her father, a history professor, had taught Andrómeda that much.

No doubt, something had happened to them. Something joyful, exciting. The taller one, a long-haired monster that was certainly over two meters and with muscles like those of a bull, had an arm around the shoulders of the shorter one, also muscular, but leaner. He was saying something, with a deep voice that reverberated in the entirety of the bar, but that Andrómeda still couldn’t hear because of the volume at which Jake kept the music.

His green eyes encountered hers. And they seemed to watch her intently, although the young woman was quite sure he couldn’t quite see her face with the helmet she was sporting, especially not from a certain distance.

Was she supposed to say something? No. She was here to check for criminal activity, for people in danger. She couldn’t simply approach two middle-aged men because they were laughing.

Maybe one of them had just become a dad, or something.

No, he wouldn't be so happy, then. Not if he lived in the Well.

───⋆☆─────────────

‘You are going back on the field.’

John Tuala –John for friends, family members and absolutely anyone after a couple of drinks–, leader of the Vanguard in New Atlantis, had called Andrómeda to his office. And there she was, sitting down in a chair, with a straight back and hands over her knees, trying to be the image of good behavior. Something that had made John laugh, but he hadn’t commented on it; there were more important subjects at hand.

‘Really?’ Andrómeda was wary. She didn’t want to get her hopes up and then… it hadn’t been the first time they had considered putting her back out there. But it had never been John to tell her. Usually a nurse, or a doctor, or some low-ranking member that should be answering to her, instead of the other way around…

‘Really. Two reasons: you’re accompanying Diplomat Airi Takahashi in Neon. Be ready to leave in a few days. She will give you the details of her mission, if she so desires, when you get there. Once you land the planet, you will act as her bodyguard. No, better yet, her shadow. Attempts on her life have been made, as you very well know.’

Andrómeda pursed her lips.

Of course she knew.

She had been the one to stop quite a few of them.

And still, she was excited. She liked Airi, a lot. They had quickly become friends, even if what had brought them together was Andrómeda’s work and Airi’s need for protection. But they were like-minded spirits, twin souls, people who were born of the same stardust. She couldn’t wait to see the Diplomat again.

She nodded firmly, for John to continue. If there were any questions about the assignment, she could ask them after he was done. He had, after all, said there were two reasons…

‘We are looking for a man. Goes by Vessel.’ Andrómeda raised an eyebrow, but remained silent. ‘An ex-member of the Crimson Fleet.’

That did it. ‘How do you exactly leave the Crimson Fleet?’ The Martian blurted out.

They hadn’t really become a problem until recently. A few years back, when Andrómeda was a kid, they were nothing but a loose confederation of individual parent captains; now, however, they were more or less an organized entity, that had expanded way beyond Kryx (what used to be their main base), all the way to Sagan, Cheyenne, Lunara and Narion.

‘Apparently, by hiding in between the cargo of a merchant’s ship and making your way to the next port.’

She was impressed (not so much with the tactic itself, but by the fact that a plan as simple as that had worked – and that still nobody, not even the faction he had once belonged to, had managed to find him) but she tried not to show. John, however, saw right through her, laughing as he said his next words:

‘That’s why we need you. You’re one of the best – if someone can bring this man to justice, it’s you.’ He rounded the table, to come closer to her and be able to look her straight in the eye. He did that when he wanted her to really see him, usually when he was asking her to take on a very demanding mission. Andrómeda had been slightly near-sighted when she had first joined the Vanguard; not anymore. She had had eye surgery years ago, but some things never changed. ‘The Crimson Fleet is also looking for him. You have the right to kill those who stand in your way.’

‘I will bring him to justice.’ Andrómeda declared. It was not the first time she had been sent in one of these missions. She had a reputation, and before she had gotten injured, her name was one of the favorites to become John’s second-in-command. She wanted those rumors, those whispers, to start again.

‘I expected no less from you.’ A proud smile, almost like that of a dad, even if John wasn’t much older than her. ‘Of course, if you ever need help…’

‘Can’t trust the Neon City Guard. Maybe the Rangers, but not likely. Safest bet is to try and contact any UC ships that are in orbit.’

‘Exactly. And now,’ John clapped, stretching his neck and back, rotating his shoulders. ‘Enough about work. Want to go get a Terrabrew and catch up?’

Barça Players as Harry Potter Characters

Sooo I seem to have too much time on my hands (or rather o much proficiency in procrastination) and simultanly too much opinions on this. Do let me know any other opinions, some are literally not based on anything. And obvs no hate to any!

Xavi - Remus Lupin

Was already here in his youth and was very popular then. Now he is back to teach the next generation of wizards.

Marc-André ter Stegen - Minerva McGonagall

A true hero! Also he is kinda cate-like. This is one of my favorites, so congrats!

Iñaki Peña - Neville Longbottom

Loveable guy, but does not get the chance to prove himself until later on.

Héctor Bellerín - Luna Lovegood

They are kinda there for the magic, but they also care about other stuff. People may find them a bit strange, but in truth they have their priorities set. Very magical vibe in general.

Ronald Araujo - Ginny Weasley

This is one is ambitious in every aspect of life. Talented, but also a bit weird.

Andreas Christensen - Viktor Krum

Both come from the north. And they have a very ambivalent vibe, like probably a good guy, but the facade is kind harsh.

Marcos Alonso - Bill Weasley

One of the older Weasley siblings. Not such a trouble maker as some of the others, but still part of the gang.

Jordi Alba - Rubeus Hagrid

Just a cuddly guy with a sweet personality, but can get fiesty if need be.

Jules Kounde - Lee Jordan

They have the same hair. Plus he seems like someone who would be a Gryffindor.

Eric García - Hermione Granger

Smartest person in the group, does not care about others opinion and is willing to risk it all for their closed-ones (including cursing and threatening). Also nearly died once. We love this one!

Sergio Busquets - Sirius Black

Part of the old popular group. Leader for the young ones, but in difference to Remus, he is more the cool uncle than the responsible one. Also can be kind annoying in a good way.

Pedri - Harry Potter

Do I have to say more? He is the magician, people put all pressure on him. And the hair is kinda similar sometimes. Also grew up differently than most (one being from the Canary islands, the other, well being from under the stairs). Both very family-oriented.

Franck Kessie - Garrick Ollivander

This has absolutely no logical, only vibes.

Sergi Roberto - Charlie Weasley

The Weasley family is just everywhere. So this one had to be included. Is not talked about much, but still liked by most.

Frenkie de Jong - Fleur Delacour

The have so much in common: Very blond hair, very cute accent, same initials. Good at what they do, but kinda slept-on.

Gavi - Hedwig

Ok, I know this is very random. But hear me out: Hedwig is cute, Gavi is cute; Hedwig is protective of her people, Gavi is protective of his people; Hedwig is small, Gavi is small; enough said.

Ousmané Dembélé - Ron Weasley

Sorta part of the main cast, but not the superstar. Also sometimes a bit problematic.

Robert Lewandowski - James Potter

An older, very good guy. He seems cool, but we do not know as much about him. Superstar, but not future.

Ansu Fati - George Weasley

The first of the Weasley twins. Very funny, very loveable. Loves the others and is happy to be a part of this.

Ferran Torres - Fred Weasley

The other Weasley twin. Also funny, and sorta more the centre of attention, whether on purpose or not. I love this one, but he faces more adversity than necessary.

Raphinha - Oliver Wood

Good at sports. Looks good. But not really that memorable.

Ocean's Eleven (2001) & Ocean's Twelve (2004)

Ocean's Eleven

This is basically the gold standard of modern masculine coolness, right?

I definitely saw this at some point, but that was so long ago that I remembered nothing of the specifics. I do remember Ocean’s Eight well enough to compare, though, and what I found out today is that Debbie wasn’t the only Ocean sibling to have a surprising amount of gay chemistry with their blond(e) right hand (wo)man. Good for all of them!

Danny/Tess made a valiant effort to keep up, but unfortunately, Tess’s entire character is the weakest part of the film. The story is male-centric to the extreme, and the only woman is a trophy for the protagonist to steal from the antagonist.

None of these people measure up in hotness to Cate Blanchett in Ocean’s Eight, but they did look nice. A special shout out to the bad guy, who suddenly acquired a dark brooding gothic demeanor when he realized his defeat.

Every review describes Ocean’s Eleven with adjectives such as “smooth”, “fun”, and “charming”, which is true, but in addition to that, an essential factor that makes it work as a “feel-good movie” for me is how non-violent it is, despite the hypermasculinity. The target of robbery is utterly unsympathetic, there’s little to no collateral damage, guns only enter the picture as a two second long fakeout. The viewers don’t have the reason to feel bad for anyone and can just bask in the good vibes. (Though personally, I still managed to get nervous a few times during the heist, even though I knew perfectly well that the job would end in success. I’m really not built for any kind of suspense, huh.) It’s extremely shallow, but instead of the common and annoying “pretends to be deep but fails” way, it’s shallow in the “our only goal is to make this as fun as possible” way, and that gets no objections from me.

Ocean's Twelve

I genuinely can’t tell if I’ve watched Ocean’s Twelve before in full or not. I remember the laser dancing sequence, and the Bruce Willis-Julia Roberts stuff feels familiar, but everything else feels totally new to my present self.

They Garak’d Brad Pitt so hard! Literally the first scene of the movie grabs the viewer by the shoulders and shouts “Oh you thought he seemed kinda gay? Here, look, he’s definitely attracted to women!” Also, God, Hollywood kissing close-ups are so obnoxious.

The thief/cop romance is not bad in theory, but felt forced in practice; now that Danny and Tess are back together, we need another obligatory white heterosexual will they/won’t they (that doubles as a no homo, see above). The “reveal” that the legendary thief who might or might not be dead, and the thief father who allegedly died around the same time, are in fact the same person, can be seen from miles away; the real surprise is that Isabel herself didn’t figure it out somehow.

Linus was only slightly annoying in the first one, but here he’s given prolonged scenes that are painfully awkward to watch. What was the point of making him the “immature SJW” if that didn’t even go anywhere?

Vincent Cassel is not as good of an antagonist as Andy García. Watching Terry Benedict threaten the crew at the beginning of the film was actually pretty fun, and the Night Fox just doesn’t have anything to be a worthy successor to that classic villain charisma.

Overall I have to say I was pretty bored. Perhaps it’s my fault for watching the second movie the day after the first, motivated more by curiosity than “I’m really missing the heist movie vibe right now”. Several times I thought “this can’t possibly be the real heist, it’s not good enough”. The final twist was decent if a bit predictable, but it wasn’t enough to justify the whole thing.

I considered completing the marathon with Ocean’s Thirteen (which I have no memory of, either), but perhaps it would be wise to leave it for later. I suspect movies like these work better as palate cleansers or light entertainment, and trying to be completionist with them like with typical series would be counterproductive. For now, it might be better to take a break from action movies starring white American men — I feel testosterone-poisoned already!

She had opened her eyes after the meteorite impact a couple of days before meeting Alex… for the first time?

Seeing her brother and sister by the bed, Cass hadn’t thought anything at all. Just normal day, like any other, in which they had all stayed at Andro’s place (Hércules had roommates and Cass lived in a small studio apartment) and the middle García sibling had been the last to wake up.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

But, if that was the case, why were they crying?

They had explained. The day they had all met for coffee, a meteorite had struck Shibuya. Hundreds had died. But not them. However, while Andro and Hérc had been more or less okay, except for a few ugly bruises, three days in a comatose state and their heart stopping for a minute, Cass had all that plus a very disgusting-looking wound in her abdomen (something – she didn’t want to ask what but sharp and pointy – had ripped her skin undoubtedly leaving a nasty scar) a broken, purple, bloated lip (hey, at least I now don’t need plastic surgery! had been her way of making her parents feel better about it) and what most likely would end up being an addiction to morphine; the first days, they had her high most of the time. She didn’t quite know what they were giving her or why, but apparently she had required a few minor surgeries and…

It was during one of those days, that she had sneaked out of her hospital room. Cass had heard something outside: a conversation between her mother, María, and the doctor. They needed to perform a few blood tests, to check the levels of blahblahblah because it could be an indication of God knew what. And no. She refused. They had finally stopped giving her the medication intravenously, which meant: time for her escape plan.

Grabbing her mother’s fancy coat and hat, she had ran away of her room. She hadn’t thought much about it; she only knew that, for whatever reason, she wanted a pizza, sick to the core of hospital food, and to try and find a Halloween store, to check out some masks. The masks were really important, and apparently she had been telling absolutely everyone everything about them. In particular, she wanted a mask with six eyes, with a red sigil, with beautiful and intricate decorations of the same color. A mask that meant something, that symbolized some deity, but none of any religions she could think of.

Barefoot, she wandered around the hospital, tipping her hat to whoever she came across, like someone from the medieval ages. Sir, Ma’am. Cass was about to make a turn in some corridor when she came face to face with her doctor, a man in his 50s that went by the name of… actually, she didn’t remember. So she did what anybody else would.

She entered the patient’s room closer to her, pretending to be some visiting family member.

‘Hello, dear! How are you? Are you feeling better?’ She cheerfully and loudly asked the person laying down in the hospital bed, closing the door behind her quickly. ‘Ufff, that was close. So sorry to bother you but they want to take my blood and I think it belongs in my body!’

The person in question was a man, one who had the top half of his face, except for his eyes, covered in bandages. She could see nothing but his mouth, jaw and neck, but Cass found herself staring. There was something about him… ‘You are so handsome. Well, so handsome. Like don’t get me wrong, you probably are, I just can’t see you! But you feel so handsome. I just… woah. My name’s Cass. I was attacked by a meteorite. Not like personally. I just…’

‘Alex.’ He said, apparently not bothered at all by the fact that she wasn’t making any sense at all. He even was smiling in her direction and his voice sounded… relieved, maybe? Anyway, heavy with emotion. Alex, Alex, Alex.

Cass was about to say something else when the door opened again. She was expecting a nurse, maybe. She could deal with that, use her charms to drive them away. But nothing could have prepared her for coming face to face with Andro, whose arms were crossed above her chest and whose eyes were mostly white. She was rolling them towards the ceiling, as she took a deep breath.

‘Cass! You were supposed to get your medical tests done and…’

‘No, Androoooooooo. Andro, please, I don’t want to. I’m so tired, look at all the bruises in my arm from them poking me with needles. Like plim, plim, plim. No, pleeeeeeaaaaaase.’

‘Cass.’

Her sister’s tone admitted no reply. Cass sighed, finding herself absolutely defeated.

‘But I made a new friend?’ The tone was slightly interrogative, because they had after all exchanged literally a thousand words on Cass’ part and one on his, but one look at Alex and the blonde woman knew. They were friends. Or would be friends.

‘I’m so sorry she bothered you.’ Andro began. Her older sister was not speaking to Cass anymore, but to Alex, who had propped himself up on his elbows and shook his head.

‘She didn’t bother. At all.’

Again, that warmth. That feeling of acceptance, of belonging. Maybe she was still high, no, certainly, she was. But Cass had never felt this before, and she would fight for it. By pouting and pleading. ‘Please, I don’t want to go!?’

‘Cassiopeia, por favor…’

Uh oh. Andro using her full name meant trouble. With a defeated sigh, after a battle she would later remember as fierce and fiery, she waved Alex goodbye and blew him a kiss, before her sister took her back to her room, where an evil person would steal her precious blood.

───⋆☆─────────────

‘I know it’s unorthodox, a man and a woman sharing the same room, but she absolutely refuses to agree to any medical procedure unless she can be with you...’

The doctor was explaining as Cass walked in, carrying a couple of stuffed animals in her arms, running excitedly towards Alex with the brightest smile, one that made her whole face shine.

‘Hi! I convinced them to let us share a room if you wanted to. I guess you agreed because if not I wouldn’t be here. Cool, huh!?’ She exclaimed, standing beside his bed, smiling even more although it didn’t seem possible when she saw that he was happy about it, too.

She didn’t take as much pills now, her mind a lot less foggy, and would have apologize for her erratic behavior from last time, but when she tried to do it, he immediately cut her. There was nothing to apologize about.

That night, none of them got much sleep.

She sat at the foot of his bed, with her chin placed on top of her knees, her legs against her chest, her arms around them. Cass laughed more than she had in her entire lifetime as they shared anecdotes from their lives. Funny and happy ones, before switching to sadder ones, because they wanted to tell the other person absolutely everything. No secrets, not now, not ever. One in particular was harder than others, because it had marked a before and an after in Alex’s life: his parents falling into a coma after a car accident.

Cass had simply extended an arm, grabbed his hand. Held it hard as he told the story. And then, brought it to her lips, softly kissing his fingertips, sweetly.

His expression told her that she had done something right, something that had evoked deep feelings in him.

She had refused to go back to her cot. She hadn’t wanted to, and Alex didn’t seem like he wanted to let go of her, either. So she had simply laid beside him, until Sleep had taken both of them with Her to her realm, softly caressing his jaw, his neck.

Even if the doctor had scolded her the following morning, it had absolutely been worth it.

And she had kept doing it, night after night after night.

They could talk for hours, or stay in comfortable silence. Cass would paint him. Alex would sing to her. They would watch shitty movies on the TV in their room and she would let the doctors perform each and every test they wanted on her, as long as he was holding her hand.

When they had taken the bandages off of his face, she had been there, next to him, knowing that whatever he looked like wouldn’t change how she felt about him. Because Cass was in love, completely and absolutely, with every single part of Alex.

‘So, I was right the first night, you are devilishly handsome.’ She had declared, after he had stood still for a minute or two to let her examine his features, before finally closing the distance between them and kissing him.

───⋆☆─────────────

Cass was discharged before Alex. Weeks before.

But there was not a day she didn’t come visit after work, bringing food from the outside; bags full of takeaway, little snacks, things that he had mentioned he liked or things that she had commented about and wanted to share with him.

Between colorful wrappings of cookies and chocolate bars, more stolen kisses. Shy, at the beginning. Passionate, as time passed.

New lovers were supposed to be clumsy, but their bodies knew each other perfectly – from a previous life, maybe, their lips moving in perfect sync.

The doctors and nurses still got mad at her and her mischief; but they also just left them alone more times than not by that point, maybe slightly moved because out of the horrible natural disaster that had been the meteorite crashing in Japan, something as beautiful as their love story had been born.

It didn’t surprise anyone, when they made it official. When they started looking for a place for both of them, after merely months of dating. They were moving fast, yes, but why wait when they were made for each other?

This was Eden. Paradise. Mutual respect, acceptance and love. A sacred connection, and they were just pawns following one mandate: to be together.

In this universe. And all of them.
