During spring cleaning with the Uzumaki, Sarada unexpectedly comes across a picture that Nanadaime took post-mission after seeing how Sasuke n Sakura fell asleep like that<3
This year it couldn't be, the weather has been very bad every day and the float of the Risen Lord has remained in the Church. Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
An attractive peasant girl is minding her own business, when a young man from her village starts courting her without warning. That young man, Turiddu, is a former soldier who recently returned from the army, so she’s of course impressed. It’s a well-known fact that he had been courting with Lola, the village beauty, before he set off into the army, but that by the time he returned, she was married to Alfio, the village carter.
Anyway, after that betrayal, Turiddu immediately sets his sights on the aforementioned peasant girl, who believes his ardent declarations and promises well enough to allow him to make passionate love to her. Of course, what is bound to happen happens, and soon enough, the entire village hears all about this affair. And because this was Sicily, 1883, the girl gets all the blame and is even excommunicated from the church, while Turiddu gets away with everything.
To make matters worse, it becomes very clear that he seduced her with the intention of making Lola jealous, which works flamboyantly well, because soon enough, the jilted peasant girl witnesses him hanging around Lola’s house every night while Alfio is away carting shit, blissfully unaware of all these happenings.
And then on Easter, she begs Turiddu one last time to come back to her, to no avail. Outraged, she curses his Easter, and later tells Alfio all about Lola’s affair, though she immediately comes to regret it. Alfio challenges Turiddu to a knife fight, which he accepts by biting his ear till it bleeds, which is a Sicilian custom meant to represent a fight to the death. Turiddu gets killed in the fight, but not before telling his mother to look after the girl in case he doesn’t come back.
That peasant girl was me. And this story was a summary of the plot of Cavalleria rusticana in the style of the “Picture it: Sicily” stories from The Golden Girls.
I had so much fun making these edits, brainstorming what to feature and so many ideas came to me, among them something I keep laughing at (and included as an Easter Egg in the graphics): John having an account to keep track of everyone's IG in his region because he just couldn't help himself (he has to know everything damn it, keep record of them sins) despite the EG rule for technology. :D
