No #tbt desta semana apresento esse belo sobrado antigo construído em 1912 e que era localizado no número 13* da rua Maranhão, em Higienópolis.

Acredita-se que tenha sido demolido em meados da década de 1960.

O número 13 da época não corresponde ao atual.

Moonlight (prologue)

Pairing: Matt Sturniolo x y/n

A story where a boy who is terrified of love lays his eyes on a girl who's determined to save everyone else, but herself.

pt1, pt2

Warnings: slight cursing and mention of blood

Author's note: it's been a while since I've written something so this is actually quite exciting. this prologue is detrimental to the story, so pls do not skip it!!!!

________________

“John, come on! We're gonna miss it!” I tugged on my older brother's hand with anticipation. Even though my 16 year old body held just as much strength, it was still enough to make him stumble.

“Okay Little Bear, just give me a second, m’kay?” he looked down at me with a soft smile.

“Okay, but hurry! This only happens-”

“Every 20 years, I know” he chuckled and I scoffed. Obviously he knew, he was the one who told me that.

“Just let me grab my telescope and we'll be ready to go,” John reassured me while I impatiently strolled through our small living room.

It had been 3 years since dad left us to live with his new family and things were tough. Mom has been a wreck and started drinking consistently ever since the day he left, John has been working two jobs since my mother was jobless and I have been taking care of her and the house, as well as going to school everyday and trying to keep my grades as high as possible. I taught myself how to cook and clean. I made sure my mom and brother had something to eat, even if it was just a sandwich. I had to take care of them as much as I could. Especially my mom. She was heartbroken and I couldn’t bear seeing her like that. Even though she didn’t like me, for some reason I never got to understand, I couldn’t just let her rot. She may did not care about me, but I couldn’t not care about her. She was my mom, afterall.

I quickly glanced over at the black couch where she laid. A small smile appeared on my lips as I observed her state; the way she looked so calm and relaxed in her sleep, probably the calmest I've seen her in a while, the way she hugged that bottle of whiskey like her life depended on it. She hugged it as if it was her child; with so much protection and guardiance. My smile faded. The more I looked at the way she clinged onto that damn bottle, the more I felt like crying. I dozed off. I hadn't felt my mother's embrace in years. I was kind of getting jealous of that bottle. Why did that liquid that tasted just like poison matter more than I ever did to her? Why is it so important to her? How does one become a liquid? Maybe if I was one, she would then need me. She would then see me. She would then love me.

“Ready?” my brother thankfully interrupted my troubling thoughts. He placed a hand on my shoulder, making me jump a little at the sudden touch, and a concerned look creeped into his face once he saw my teary eyes.

“Hey, what's wrong?” he worried.

“I'm okay, J, just dozed off for too long. Let's go!” I faked a smile and finally dragged him out of the much suffocating house that did not feel at home.

_______________

Long Island was truly beautiful at night. From the hill we were at, the Montauk Lighthouse could be seen, as its bright light lit up the dark, scary sea. But that didn't matter at the time. I could visit the lighthouse whenever I wanted to, whereas I couldn't see the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction again for another 20 years minimum.

I laid my soft, warm blanket on top of the freshly wet grass and sat on it with anticipation and excitement while I watched my brother put together the telescope. Once he did and tested it, he motioned me to walk over him which I did instantly.

“You should be able to see them here…” he trailed off as he adjusted the scope for me a couple of times before letting go.

“Can you? Can you see them?” John asked me.

“Wait, no. Let me just- Oh my god, I see them!”

“Really? Let me see, move!” he practically shoved me into the ground out of excitement, throwing me into a couple of rocks that ended up scratching my knee deeply.

“Ouch!” I hissed and quickly brought my injured leg towards my chest.

“Holy shit I can actually- shit, y/n/n” my brother turned his attention to me when he heard my screech, his enthusiasm long gone once he was met with a bloody knee of mine.

“Fuck, sorry kid, I didn't mean to hurt you” he quickly apologised and whipped the red liquid with his shirt.

“I have some stuff in the car, Imma go bring them real fast” he announced, but I stopped him before he could get up from the ground.

“J, it's okay. It's just a scratch” I groaned.

“Y/n, this is not just a scratch, it's deep. It will probably scar, I have to disinfect it” he argued, but I didn't care.

“You'll disinfect it later. Now, sit your ass down and enjoy this moment with your sister” I playfully slapped his shoulder and chuckled. I was in pain, but I just didn't pay any attention to it. That moment, at that hill, with that exact night sky was all I could pay attention to. These, and the person who was sitting right next to me.

“Oh look, there’s Aquila!” I excitedly told him and pointed at the constellation.

“You remember,” he chuckled after nodding his head.

“Of course I do, it’s your favourite,” I rolled my eyes at him. How could he even think I had forgotten?

“Do you know why it’s my favourite?” he challenged me and I smirked.

“Because it’s an eagle. Eagle is your favourite animal” I smiled, pleased.

“Damn, you really do listen,” he laughed and patted my head. I huffed with fake annoyance and turned my head to admire the rest of the stars, trying to find the rest of the constellations I was reading about. Silence took over us, until I decided to speak again.

“I love it when we do this” I smiled at him and he looked over at me.

“I love it too, kiddo. Sorry about your knee” he apologised once again and I shook my head.

“Well, if I'm being honest, I think some ice cream would totally make it better,” I joked and batted my lashes at him playfully.

“Oh I bet it would,” he scoffed but still laughed at my tactics.

I truly did love this. Everything about it. I loved how the autumny slight cold breeze grazed my skin, how the brown, dried out leaves cracked when I stepped on them, how I could finally drink hot beverages and wear my knitted sweaters. I loved how the stars that aligned on the eternal darkness that made up the night sky reminded me of my insignificance, of how nothing actually matters in this world. I loved how I could feel my brother's warmth and kindness only when it was just the two of us, doing the things we both loved and were passionate about.

But at the same time, the same way the night’s bright ornaments reminded me of my insignificance, they also made me actually remember it. Yes, nothing mattered, but so did I. I didn't matter. I didn't know if I could be someone who mattered. Maybe if I was someone or something else, I would matter. Perhaps an injured dog or cat who’s looking for a home, the president's wife, a bottle of whiskey…

That goddamn bottle of whiskey.

“Do you think if I was a bottle of whiskey, mom would need me?” I whispered almost inaudibly under my breath. I didn't know why I said that out loud, but I did, and I hoped that John didn't hear. However, when I heard him sigh deeply, I knew that he did and I mentally cursed myself.

“I know that mom’s approval is something you crave. And I know it hurts you a lot because you're not getting it,” he looked into my eyes, “But I also want you to know that you are enough just the way you are. I love you just the way you are and you matter a lot to me, just the way you are. Whenever you feel like you're insignificant, just remember this moment right here,” he pointed towards the ground, “See the moon?” he asked me. I nodded.

“As long as this bright, floating ball shines, you're not alone. As long as the moonlight shines, you're not unseen or unknown. You are just as important as the moonlight and as long as you shine, you'll never not be enough” John concluded with a loving smile and a soft voice. His eyes scammed all over my face trying to examine my features for any signs of self doubt that he wasn't able to erase from my internal conflict, but he was unable to find any.

Not because there wasn't any left, but because I knew how to mask it.

I flashed him a grateful smile. If I didn't have him, I wouldn't be able to survive. He was my rock. He was the person who showed me how love actually felt like, and I couldn't be more thankful for him. As long as I had him, everything would be okay.

“I love you, John” I muttered and engulfed my big brother into my arms. He responded quickly by wrapping his own around my clothed back.

“I love you more, Little Bear” he whispered against my hair and planted a kiss on the top of my head.

Cinco contas de Instagram para quem gosta de olhar e pensar as cidades

[Publicado originalmente em 03/12/2018 aqui]

Para quem gosta de acompanhar as discussões sobre como as cidades se configuram, sobre problemáticas e detalhes urbanos, práticas, características e modos de vida ao redor do mundo, algumas contas no Instagram são, também, um bom meio de informação. Separei cinco delas que gosto, por diferentes motivos, abaixo.

Guardian Cities – www.instagram.com/guardiancities

Trata-se do Instagram da editoria de jornalismo de cidades do jornal britânico The Guardian. Traz fotos de construções variadas ao redor do mundo, de ruas, pessoas, formas de transporte, de trabalho, de ocupar os espaços urbanos, em imagens tanto ligadas a reportagens que publicam em seu site quanto com vida própria. Destaca também outras contas interessantes de fotógrafos de cidades de diversos países.

Revista Piseagrama – www.instagram.com/revistapiseagrama

Conta da publicação semestral dedicada aos espaços públicos — "existentes, urgentes e imaginários", descrevem em seu site –, abordando temas como territórios quilombolas, a ideia de vizinhança, o descarte nas cidades. A página no Instagram, que costuma trazer ilustrações e imagens de projetos artísticos, é uma forma de estar por dentro do conteúdo veiculado na revista.

Cidade Ativa – www.instagram.com/cidade.ativa

A ONG que milita por cidades mais inclusivas — e sobre a qual já falei aqui — posta em seu Instagram as ações que promove, campanhas, dados sobre mobilidade nas cidades, entre outros temas de interesse urbano.

Popular de Lujo – www.instagram.com/popular_delujo

Gráfica vernacular, já ouviu esse termo? Trata-se do design gráfico de origem popular, autodidata, das placas e letras pintadas especialmente no pequeno comércio. Essa conta é parte de um projeto documental sobre esse design e sua relevância na América Latina.

Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha – www.instagram.com/seessarua_fosseminha

A iniciativa desse projeto é de mostrar Salvador além dos clichês, postando passeios, rotas e destacando personagens da cidade que muitas vezes correm às margens da grande história, pensando sempre a cidade vivida a partir da ideia de circular para conhecer mais.

If Six looks like his grandfather from Chase's side, why not Dawnmaster could have his grandfather's face from Klipse's side? So your theory works, adding to that as you said that Klipse's guardiance from showing love to his sons could be cause exacly because Klipse's own father didn't showed him love.

Also, since it seems like Klipse at least gives Dom and Six money, they probably have a lot of stuff they bought, Dom has monsunos and things to hunt(also chemicals, since he's good at chemistry, as we saw he was making chemicals to make figures out of prey), and Six probably have things for monsunos, and maybe toys, probably plush to cuddle, for himself since he's babiey. Maybe also reason why Klipse gives everything to his sons but not love, at least all the time and directly, is what he does feel guilty inside and sees it as non direct way to show clones his attention. He’s not even mad at their failures.

Hargrave maybe even made Six Demise plushie, and Dom, after Dragonburn died, Dragonburn's plushie.

Maybe also reason why clones were aged is because Klipse knew he would get attached to clones, since he even kinda shows his "weakness" with them being teens and young adults. I guess he would cuddle little sons of his if no one watched.

I think while Klipse might not have the best relationship with his father, the fact that he can still be a rather decent parent to Dom and Six from time to time comes from his memories of being loved by his mother. He probably remembers her fondly more than his father and tries to be at least decent to his clones because they also share her DNA. I’m only saying that because of Drezz and how he doesn’t look that much like Klipse.

I head canon that Drezz got his some looks from Klipse’s mother. He’s the only theoretical clone that has FAIR BROWN hair, and most of the Klipses we’ve seen have black hair, sans Dawnmaster and Six. Maybe Klipse’s mother had brown hair, and Drezz inherited that. Or Drezz dyed his hair, but that’s quite a lot of bleaching to get to that shade of brown from black hair. I know, I got family and friends who work with hair. So yeah, Drezz got the recessive fair brown hair from grandmother Klipse. He also got the tinier pupil shape in Monsuno that Klipse and Dom have, and maybe Grandmother Klipse had that shape of eyes. And I think that’s why Klipse didn’t hurt Drezz as much as Dawnmaster when they escaped, Drezz mostly looks like the only parent Klipse cared about. And if Klipse did connect the dots that Drezz is Four when he and Tallis merged factions, he probably won’t hurt Drezz and leave him alone as it meant he’d hurt the face of his mother. Grandmother Klipse literally saved one of her youngest grandchildren from a ton of pain just by Drezz inheriting some of her looks.

Also, we’ll never know anything about Klipse’s mother, so maybe all her grandchildren inherited a piece of her personality. Maybe while Klipse is distance to Dom and Six, he weirdly sees a bit of his mother in them and the guilt that he’s hurting her grandchildren after hurting Dawnmaster is what makes him give his current clones money and independence as his way of telling himself that he’s not that bad now and he’s at least better than his father when he’s just the same way if not worse. They’re both distant and only there when the kids call for them.

Aging them up would also help Klipse not bond with them as teens are more likely to become independent earlier than toddlers or babies. Though, despite the aging up, you can see that both Drezz and Six act like children who wants their parents while Dom acts like he’s in elementary. So in reality, Klipse is still stuck with children who wants his attention, they’re just not the right biological age for him to cuddle and read bedtime stories to.

That being said, Dom and Six having plushies of their Monsunos would fit with them. Six is a baby and toys are great for children. Dom needed something to remind him of his Dragonburn. Hargrave making their plushies would be why they’re so loyal to the butler, he’s giving them things to cope with being a clone. Actually I always had this idea that Six would one day own a fluffy white cat because he likes cute things. It works since a cat’s favorite prey is mice.
