JULIO PEÑA? Não! É apenas MATTEO TRIBBIANI, ele é filho de NIKÉ do chalé 17 e tem 24 ANOS. A TV Hefesto informa no guia de programação que ele está no NÍVEL III por estar no Acampamento há TREZE ANOS, sabia? E se lá estiver certo, MATT é bastante AMIGÁVEL mas também dizem que ele é SISTEMÁTICO. Mas você sabe como Hefesto é, sempre inventando fake news pra atrair audiência.
* BIOGRAFIA / CONEXÕES /
BIOGRAFIA.
No coração da cidade de Nova York, um simples entregador de pizza, Marco Tribbiani, viu sua vida transformada quando cruzou o caminho da esplêndida deusa Nike. Uma conexão inesperada floresceu entre eles, resultando no nascimento de Matteo Tribbiani. O relacionamento deles evoluiu rapidamente, mas a súbita partida de Nike, guiada por deveres divinos, deixou Marco perplexo, ignorante da herança divina que ela compartilhava com seu filho recém-nascido, Matteo. Mesmo assim, ele tinha infinitos planos para com seu primeiro filho, animado para tudo o que ainda viveriam juntos — até uma fatalidade acontecer e Marco parar de respirar.
Matt foi acolhido pelas seis irmãs mais novas de Marco. Essas irmãs, unidas pelo desejo comum de proteger e orientar o jovem semideus, formaram um laço familiar único, oferecendo a Matteo suporte emocional e amor, tornando-se a âncora essencial em sua jornada. Elas não poderiam saber de seu laço divino, mas sua infância foi repleta de desafios e sinais de sua herança.
Na escola primária, seus momentos de fúria ou intensa concentração desencadeavam episódios de força, causando estranheza entre seus colegas; como arrebentar a alça da mochila ao retirá-la do encosto da cadeira, machucar de verdade um colega que só queria dar um susto, e rasgar com facilidade livros ao meio quando queria zombar do professor.
Ao chegar ao Acampamento Meio-Sangue, os sinais tornaram-se mais tangíveis. Durante treinamentos de combate, a força descomunal de Matt se revelava sem aviso prévio, superando qualquer expectativa para alguém de sua idade. Nos campos de treinamento de corrida, sua agilidade sobrenatural e resistência inabalável se destacavam, transformando desafios que deixariam outros semideuses exaustos em mera formalidade para ele.
No interior do acampamento, Matt encontrou um lar entre seus iguais, aprimorando suas habilidades sobrenaturais. Seu dom notável, a super força, logo se destacou, tornando-o uma figura respeitada entre seus colegas. Hoje, aos vinte e quatro anos, Matt é um instrutor habilidoso de combate com espada e mestre em corridas de obstáculos solitárias, uma verdadeira força a ser reconhecida dentro das fronteiras seguras do acampamento.
Numa noite sombria, enquanto desfrutava de uma refeição no refeitório, a tranquila atmosfera do Acampamento Meio-Sangue foi abruptamente quebrada. Rachel Elizabeth Dare, a atual oráculo, pronunciou uma profecia angustiante. A revelação de que segredos do Olimpo seriam revelados e o próprio Olimpo cairia mergulhou Matt e seus companheiros semideuses em um estado de apreensão.
Antes do chamado de Dionísio, Matt estava no acampamento. Ele se comunica periodicamente com as seis tias, embora a maioria delas já tenha a sua vida particular e o contato seja mais raro, mas ele sempre as atualiza de tudo o que acontece. O Tribbiani literalmente havia acabado de chegar da casa de uma das irmãs e seus filhos quando foi jantar no pavilhão, no momento em que tudo aconteceu.
TRIVIA.
Como filho de Niké, tem a autoconfiança como uma velha amiga. Real, ele esbanja autoestima... Só não conta para ele que se ele não tiver pelo menos um date por semana, ele fica insuportável na matéria de inseguran��a. É uma relação complexa: ele é confiante desde que consiga agradar os outros e os tenha na mão.
Em complemento ao anterior, é um namorador de carteirinha e um amigo festeiro e fiel às amizades.
Pode aparentar ser metido por conta de seu jeito expansivo e do histórico de conquistas, mas é bem humilde em relação a essas coisas. É um jovem como qualquer outro, disposto a sobreviver mais anos do que a média do semideuses e aproveitar a tudo que tem direito. E se tiver muita sorte, ter filhos.
Nas rodas de conversa, é aquele que vai incentivar o mais calado a falar.
Não é competitivo por uma simples razão de autoestima: sabe que vai ganhar.
Estudou Arquitetura Romana por um ano na universidade de Nova Roma antes de trancar o curso por falta de identificação.
PODER.
Super força: Matt possui um nível imenso e extraordinário de força física, tendo suas capacidades elevadas muito além do nível natural. Isso o torna sobrenaturalmente mais forte do que membros comuns de sua espécie poderiam ser, mesmo através de vários métodos de treinamento.
HABILIDADES.
Vigor e Durabilidade Sobre-humana.
ARMA.
A Níkēphoros se revela de maneira astuta, escondida sob a forma de uma pulseira de ouro. Quando ativada, a pulseira se transforma instantaneamente na imponente espada de bronze celestial. "Níkēphoros" é um nome grego que combina duas palavras: "Níkē," que significa vitória, e "phoros," que significa portador ou transportador. Portanto, o nome "Níkēphoros" pode ser traduzido como "Portador da Vitória" ou "Aquele que traz a Vitória." Essa escolha reflete a natureza da espada, destinada a trazer triunfo e sucesso ao seu portador nas batalhas. Foi forjada pelos ferreiros do Acampamento Meio-Sangue e humildemente alcunhada pelo próprio Tribbiani.
CARGO.
Instrutor de combate com espadas e participa de maneira individual da corrida com obstáculos.

Inspiring Hope in Youth Through Stories: An Interview with Author Rose Brock
Tumblr media
Every author hopes to inspire and impact their audiences. Author, editor and NaNoWriMo Board Member, Rose Brock, shares about her new anthology, Hope Wins, which strives to inspire hope in kids through inspiring stories.
Reports of youth depression, anxiety, and general struggles with mental health are devastating. Dr. Rose Brock, Ph.D, an educator, author, editor, and literary organizer, set out to put together a collection of stories about hope in order to uplift and inspire the youth.
This collection, Hope Wins, pulls "personal stories and essays, award-winning and bestselling artists from Matt de la Peña and Veera Hiranandani to Max Brallier and R.L. Stine write about how hope always wins, even in the darkest of times." Read this inspiring interview about the book, and the motivations behind its creation.
Q: Tell us about the background of the book. Why did you put together Hope Wins? Why does the world need this book?
A: For the two decades I worked as an 8th grade ELA teacher and a middle school librarian, there were so many times I wanted to find a way to help my students feel connected to others and less alone because life can be really hard and isolating at times. Because it’s what worked for me, I tried to do that through books. I don’t necessarily believe a novel will solve all the world’s ills, but I do know that through the sharing of stories, we have the ability to help readers see others and to be seen in return; I can’t think of a better way to capture and share the human condition.
Fiction often does for us organically, and it’s where I’m regularly drawn as a reader, but from those twenty years working in public schools, I also learned the power of sharing non-fiction with young people. In addition to the many celebrated novels in both my classroom library and school library, sometimes my students were looking for inspiring stories that were true. In the earlier years of my career, I often turned to books like Chicken Soup for the Soul to encourage them. While I’m still not sure just how “real” those books were, they were important and inspirational to many. What I learned from those collections was that books that are filled with real life experiences and shared lessons have an opportunity to profound difference to a young person.
Since the publication of my YA hope focused first anthology, Hope Nation, teachers and librarians have generously told me how much they personally loved that first collection, but how they wished there was one for the younger students with whom they work. Between these requests and knowing the difficulties faced by young people these past two+ years due to the pandemic (and let’s face it—just life), this seemed to be the right time to collect more hopeful stories by authors young people admire.
Hope Wins is technically a collection of inspiring stories for young readers, but I would argue it’s a book for all readers who need a shot of hope, regardless of age. It’s my hope it will do just that—make a profound difference to any reader that needs a shot of hope. My Hope Wins (and Hope Nation) anthologies are also what I call “Projects for Good” because besides sharing personal stories from beloved MG and YA writers, they benefit organizations and charities that I believe matter. As an educator, Hope Wins is the book I wish had existed over the years to give to the young people in my life that were struggling to say, “You can do this. You are strong. You can capable. You are enough. You can hang your heart on hope”. 
Q: Can you tell us about your background and what role hope has played in what you do—as a librarian, the founder of a book festival, and a NaNoWriMo board member?
A: I’ve been an educator for all of my professional life. As I mentioned, I was a classroom teacher and school librarian for two decades. After finishing my Ph.D., I transitioned to academia. In all of these places, sharing stories have always been the foundation for my personal hope, and I believe they can work magic in and build hope in others. I believe the quest for hope is both active and at times, an act of resistance—choosing where you focus your efforts and being intentional with what you do. Whether it is teaching, my service to NTTBF (the North Texas Teen Book Festival), or NaNoWriMo, I’m always guided by the knowledge that passion and service lead me to hope.
Q: We're just now seeing devastating reports about how much kids have suffered and are suffering mentally. Depression, self-harm and suicide are rising at alarming rates among American adolescents, spanning racial and ethnic groups, urban and rural areas and the socioeconomic divide. Does hope play a different role for a middle-grade child than it might an adult? Is hope a scarce resource these days?
A: Even those the world often feels overwhelming, I don’t think it’s hopeless. I think the reason I’m so passionate about promoting literacy with and for young people is because I absolutely know stories can change lives (they certainly changed mine). In all my years of working with kids, I repeatedly saw it happen first-hand. No matter a child’s background or even the obstacles they face, books have the power to help readers escape, grow, think, care, connect, and see more for themselves than their current circumstances. It may seem cliched, but I genuinely believe books have the ability to nurture and grow hope in young people (really in all of us), and I also think all people (especially young people) can become better, kinder people by engaging with stories—they feed our humanity and help us feel hopeful so I’m not really use if it plays a different role; I just know it’s vital to us all.
Q: How did you go about choosing the contributors?
A: If I’d had my way, there would have been at least twice as many authors in this collection, but the reality of such a collection requires a limited number so I started by really thinking about who are the authors I knew kids genuinely love (as is the nature of such projects, a few got away due to their other deadlines). It was also essential to me that the collection was inclusive because I needed any kid reading the collection to be able to find someone that reminded them of themselves.  From there, I invited folks to participate, and I worked with each of my contributors (or Team Hope as I call them) individually to help them decide what they wanted to focus on in their story. In some cases, the participating authors had a keen sense of what personal experiences they wanted to hone in on; in others, I worked more closely by asking questions that made them really open their memory chests and search for moments that might be ripe for hope harvesting. 
Q: What are some of the sources of hope in the book that you found particularly powerful?
A: I genuinely love all of the contributions to the collection, but one of the things I genuinely am happiest with is that in regard to “topics”, the contributions are quite varied, yet they still feel familiar (that’s where the hope comes in). Newbery Honor winner Christina Soontornvat’s piece “Everything I Need to Know I Learned in a Thai Restaurant” shares the many hopeful lessons she learned from working from a very young age in her family’s restaurant in rural Texas. It's so heartfelt and even humorous. Speaking of funny, Max Brallier, author of the middle grade bestselling The Last Kids on Earth series shares his touching and hilarious antics of being a new kid at school and trying to fly under the radar until the day his father (an author of a series of unusual cookbooks) arrived to pick him up in an actual Oscar Meyer Hot Dog car (which makes invisibility pretty much impossible). Beyond these two selections, the other contributions inspire me in so many ways. Some of the other selections share universal experiences of how to work through feeling like an outcast, how to survive loss, how to choose your how you want to be known, even how to find your life’s inspiration, and more. While each story is unique, they all are earnest, touching, and true.
Q: What's your favorite reader response? 
A: I don’t that I have one favorite yet but here are some that touched my heart.
“If ever there was a ‘right book at the right time’ . . .  this collection of stories around the theme of hope is it. . . .”          - Blogger ProseandKahn
"An absolute gift to middle grade readers. . . . I love this anthology because it inspires hope in the face of struggles that are relatable to this age group - insecurity, bullies, feeling different, rejection, loss - while legitimizing how hard this time of life can be.         ~Instragramer WeReadLikeThat
“The success of this collection lies in its breadth and depth of understanding, as the personalities and writing styles of the included authors envelop the reader. With contributors ranging from Tom Angleberger and Gordon Korman to Veera Hiranandani and Matt de la Peña, the collection's chapters comprise a diversity of backgrounds and styles while bringing home the reality that though hard times and circumstances challenge everyone, hope can be nurtured in all hearts. Bibliotherapy in small doses.”         ~Beth Rosania for Booklist

1, 2, 12, 17 for the book asks?
thank you, teddy!
1. book you’ve reread the most times?
a bit of déjà vu… I think I’ve answered this similarly before, but I sadly do not have time to reread as much as I’d like to… I have read the hunger games trilogy several times now, so there’s that!
2. top five books of all time?
this is tricky! without thinking too hard about it—the dispossessed by ursula k. le guin, annihilation by jeff vandermeer, the fifth season by n.k. jemisin, the boy who lost fairyland by catherynne m. valente, anddd howl’s moving castle by diana wynne jones 🙇
12. did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?
yeah of course! I took almost every lit elective my school offered. just to name a few I enjoyed—much ado about nothing, the epic of gilgamesh, oedipus rex, frankenstein, the hobbit, and a midsummer night’s dream.
17. top five children’s books?
another tricky one… I have a veritable library of children’s literature, so I’m going to pull solely from the picture books that I read to my class and consider absolute essentials—where the wild things are by maurice sendak, frog and toad by arnold lobel, the three billy goats gruff by mac barnett, carol and the pickle-toad by esmé shapiro, and last stop on market street by matt de la peña.

Cómic en el que esta inspirada la historia:

«— La historia toma en torno al cómic de Spider-Man 2099 que fue publicado en 1992, pero como aparece en el prólogo, la historia como tal pasara en el año 2096, ya que quiero que cuando pase los acontecimientos de Into the Spider-verse, Across the Spider-verse u Beyond the Spider-verse (Cuando la estrenen) sea en el año 2099, es por eso que tiene el título de Two Spiders in 2096, es por eso que quiero narrar los comienzos de nuestra protagonista y de Miguel O’hara. —»

Within the Broken
(Love and Heartache part 3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Within the broken, staying with the uncomfortable. A salad plate unexpectedly crashes to the floor, shattering into three pieces. Feeling the split second pain of the fragmented. The drop off of the abyss, spiraling into the canyon below. In a brief instant, a sharp memory arrives, pulling me back in to a time of pedal pushers, penny candy and after dinner bike rides to Baskin Robbins for a single scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
A memory that I now better understand its origins and its import. A discovery I made as I traveled through a ramble write. Finding the significance of staying put. Not so much as honoring the painful memory but acknowledging that I carry it. Not to freeze frame my actions but to name that it happened. It was hard. I only understood so much. It wasn’t my fault. It doesn’t define me, but it is with me—always.
Coming upon another moment of finding beauty within the broken. Honoring the larger truth of who I am and have always been. Celebrating the memories that I carry, even those named as battle scars.
Not only looking in to the mirror, but accepting all that I see. +++
