A team of Indigenous Yucuna women in the Colombian Amazon are rescuing and documenting the remaining oral knowledge on bees and their roles in the ecosystem, along with the traditional classification system of diverse bee species. With the help of nine elders, they are documenting and sketching tales and songs to gather bee names, characteristics, behaviors, roles in their crop fields and the places where bees build beehives. [...]
Je’chu [...]. “He is [...] our grandfather,” narrates Carmenza Yucuna Rivas, leader of the Miriti-Parana Indigenous Reserve in Colombia, located in the Amazon Rainforest. [...] “Beehives [...] give us the opportunity to create chakras [food gardens typically using an agroforestry model with divers plant species] [...]. They let us have something to cultivate [...] in the first place.”
To rescue and document the remaining oral knowledge of the origin of bees in their culture and their importance to their ecosystems and territory, Carmenza is leading research about these species with 36 women from the 12 communities part of the Indigenous reserve. [...]
---
Since the second half of 2020, Carmenza and her colleagues have been going to each of the communities and speaking to elders to gather information, such as tales and songs that talk of the origin of the bees. They also draw [...]. Each of them has taken the task of sketching the stories on paper to describe the insects.
Their aim is to classify the bees according to the cultural system of the Yucuna-Matapí, Tanimuca-Letuama, and Tuyuca-Macuna peoples, including their names, characteristics, and the places where they build the beehives.
---
Carmenza describes one by one the most relevant bees in the territory. The munumunú are the Melipona, that is, the bees that produce honey; the mapa or mapachara are the ones that produce the wax that is used for healing and rituals; the mapakayuna are small and live next to the crops to guarantee their productivity; and the jiñuna “are a great species,” says Carmenza. They live in the Yavarí coconut trees on the river shore where they build huge yellow beehives. [...] Carmenza says that even with the research process and its results, the findings and daily learnings keep surprising them. [...]
---
“We’ll take all this knowledge to schools so that teachers can share it with the kids and show them the tales, the drawings, and the classifications and talk about the value of bees in culture. But also, so that they know that bees aren’t beings without importance,” says Carmenza. “They care for us without realizing it. They, through the pollination of trees and flora, help the world breathe.”

That time you and your demon boyfriend went viral
hi yes hello obey me fandom!! my name is Gabbi and i have never played a single second of the actual game but i have read enough fanon content for the past year to have this idea swimming around in my head and now i am finally letting this accursed thing out of my brain and putting it in yours
also i’m only doing the brothers because any more than that and i’d have an aneurysm probably. oh and shoutout to @obeythebutler and @beels-burger-babe for inspiring me with their works to feel brave enough to write for this fandom
Lucifer:
You and Lucifer go viral on Asmo’s Devilgram story!
You’re in the kitchen helping Asmo with dinner duty and singing along to one of your playlists of human realm music that you like to show him.
Asmo starts filming your cute little dance while you stir the pot on the stove because you are just adorable!
About ten seconds into him filming, Lucifer appears in the doorway with quite the stern look on his face. You know, the one that comes right before a “MAMMOOOOOON” and strikes fear into the heart of all those with functioning eardrums. That one.
He opens his mouth, presumably to tell y’all to shut the fuck up, but then there’s a lull in the music and the eldest can hear your voice ever so slightly above the song’s vocalist and he freezes.
Man stops in his tracks like someone just smacked him in the face with a midair volleyball.
Asmo can be heard stifling a laugh behind his phone.
Lucifer’s face gets so soft and he almost, almost, loosens his metal-rod-through-the-ass posture before you notice him and give a little wave and ask if you and Asmo were being too loud like the considerate darling you are.
Lucifer clears and his throat and says something like, “No, you aren’t. I was just coming to check on how dinner is coming along,” and leaves, after which Asmo immediately presses the post button.
Screenshots of Lucifer’s heart eyes for you go absolutely viral because every demon on Devilgram goes absolutely feral for seeing the eldest demon brother lose his dignified composure. It becomes a meme template. “Get you someone who looks at you like Lucifer looks at MC” and “me at the delivery demon when he shows up with my spicy bat wings” posts become commonplace. (Asmo thinks the memes are totally worth getting strung up with Mammon for laughing at them.)
Mammon:
Much like Lucifer, you and Mammon end up going viral off Asmo’s Devilgram. (Noticing a pattern here?) 
He pulls a silly prank on your asses and honestly I don’t know how you fell for it. But hey, they say “idiots in love” for a reason, so...
You and Asmo are sitting in the common room of the House of Lamentation just chillin. Well, he’s chillin, you’re on the floor studying for an upcoming exam.
The video starts in the middle of a conversation you and the avatar of lust were having.
“No, Asmo,” you say. “Mammon and I don’t use pet names for each other.” Now that’s just a darn lie, and every demon and crow within ten miles of Mammon and you together knows it.
“Really? I find that very hard to believe, MC.~” 
You sigh in response to Asmo’s teasing. “Okay, he has a lot for me but I’m just not much of a pet name person, y’know?” The rest of the exchange goes like this:
“Oh, I totally get it.” *pause* “Hey MC, what do human world bees make again?”
“Honey.”
Cue a sheepish Mammon sticking his head in the doorway at the bluntness of your tone when you answered Asmo.
“Yeah, babe?” he looks like a puppy left on the side of a highway oh my god hUG HIM-
Asmo turns the camera back to his smug ass face and in the background you can be heard tripping on the damn carpet trying to get up and hug your mans. (”MAMMON GET OVER HERE SO I CAN HUG YOU” “W-WHAT? I THOUGHT YA WERE MAD AT ME?!?!?!?!”)
Leviathan:
Streamer Levi? Streamer Levi.
You guys go viral the first time you make an appearance on one of Levi’s weekly (insert cool Devildom streaming service name here) streams. 
It’s completely unintentional. You had been asking him for weeks to play with him on there, but he’s the avatar of envy after all. He doesn’t like sharing his partner, even if it’s with random strangers who have no real access to you.
However, he has his stream on a Thursday instead of a Friday one week, and you come into his room carrying dinner because 1) You didn’t realize he was streaming and 2) No matter what he was doing, the boy needed to eat. It wasn’t unusual for you to bring him dinner, so you had no idea why he was blushing and stammering even more than usual this time in particular. Boy was speaking in beached whale trying to tell you what was wrong.
Then you notice his screen. Oh! “Hi chat!” You wave, setting Levi’s food down on his desk in front of his keyboard. “M-MC!” He full-on whines, slamming a hand over his mouth afterwards when he remembers his viewers could hear that.
Honestly, they’d meme the fuck out of him if it weren’t for the fact that they are FINALLY SEEING HIS HENRY!!! THE MYSTERIOUS MC!!!
Chat is bombarding you with questions while you make Levi eat dinner. And by make him eat dinner, I mean literally feeding this man forkfuls/spoonfuls while he games because you love how flustered he gets when you do that. 
Does it impact his score? Absolutely. Does he care? Not really when you’re pampering him like that.
You start answering chat’s questions about you while he’s chewing so he can’t tell you to stop LMAO-
You’re a natural on stream. The VOD becomes the most popular on Levi’s account in a matter of hours and soon cute highlights compilations of you and him on that stream start making the rounds on Devildom Twitter.
Satan:
There was buildup to Satan going viral, similar to Levi in a way. 
Satan does have a Devilgram, but it’s basically a white woman’s Instagram with added book reviews for variety. Unless you’re a reader his account is pretty boring: candles, books, fireplaces, and cats.
However, after you two started reading together fairly often he began posting pictures of your legs draped over his while you sat together. They’d always be captioned with vague ass pretentious literary criticism. 
This goes on for months, and he gains a lot of (horny) followers after the leg pics start up. He doesn’t really get why but you both joke that it’s because you have some damn nice legs and I mean neither of you are complaining about the new following.
You two go viral when he finally shows your face, entirely by accident.
The post is a video, which is already strange for him and grabs attention. In it, you’re scoffing and reading an excerpt of a book, mocking its understanding of female anatomy.
“I’m quoting here, Satan: ‘her breasts bouncing around like giant pacmen.’ I’M SORRY?? THAT ISN’T HOW BOOBS WORK SIR. WHY ARE MEN ALLOWED TO WRITE?” 
(fun fact that is a very real quote from a very real book I really read last month pls save me)
Originally the camera is focused on your body, with your head out of frame to protect your privacy, but your righteous anger made Satan laugh. Like, a real laugh. The one that makes you and everyone in earshot wonder if he truly was never an angel cause he sure as hell laughs like one but anyway-
When he threw his head back, his DDD angled up just a tad without him noticing, and your face was in view for like .2 seconds. Screenshots of it are making the rounds on Devilgram almost immediately: FINALLY THE LEGS’ OWNER HAS BEEN FOUND.
Satan apologizes profusely but you honestly find it funny and you two opt to just start taking selfies while reading with both of your faces in them from now on. 
Asmodeus:
I’m gonna be real with you: you and Asmo go viral all the time. Pretty much everything Asmo posts can be considered viral because of his social media following and his status as one of the seven avatars of sin.
However, there are some fairly cute highlights to be pointed out among the times you were both featured in a post that blew up.
Your favorite is probably that time Asmo livestreamed on of you guys’ ‘Nail Nites,’ as you call them.
You’re both on the floor, doing your nails and kicking your feet back and forth while talking to chat. A lot of the questions are about your relationship, and there’s a lot of flirting back and forth between the two of you.
A particular clip of the stream does blow the fuck up on Devilgram, though, when someone screen records it and posts it with a bunch of heart emojis edited over it.
“’What colors do you think best describe each other?’ Ooo, that’s a good one, chat!” Asmo claps his hands together excitedly, making sure to be  careful of his nails.
Pretty much everyone expected you to say pink, but you surprised both your boyfriend and your viewers when, after a pensive few moments, you replied with “Hmm...probably yellow or orange.”
“Can I ask why, darling?” Asmo tilts his head in confusion. I mean, yeah, those colors look good on him, but he doesn’t wear them often so he’s wondering about your thought process. 
“Well, in the human world those colors often represent happiness, optimism, and positivity. You’re always the cheerful presence I need in my life when things get hard, so you have the vibe of those colors.”
Asmo proceeds to burst into tears and hug you, messing up both of your nails and prolonging the stream since you both have to start over. But neither of you particularly care. 
Fun fact: Asmo has the clip that demon made of that portion of the stream saved on his DDD and watches it whenever he feels sad.
Beelzebub:
Beel and you probably go the most viral out of everybody. Like this moment is an entire phenomenon across the Devildom internet. 
It’s a video, or well, multiple videos, taken at the end of a Fangol game that Beel’s team had just won. Everyone is cheering and going crazy, yourself included, and you just really wanted to congratulate your boyfriend.
So, like the rational person you are, you elect to climb up onto the railing of the bleachers and wave to get his attention. 
You were absolutely fine up there, and sat all comfortably motioning Beel over to you. He notices, of course, and jogs over, standing right beneath you and looking up. (Back where you were sitting, Mammon is screeching like a hyena in heat and Belphie, who is laying down, has one eye open to glare at him. The youngest knows Beel would never let you hurt yourself; you’re fine.)
A bunch of assorted demons at the game has started filming while you were sat atop the railing since you were rather noticeable. Therefore, there’s a shit ton of different angles of the adorable events that follow:
You slide off the railing, landing right in Beel’s waiting arms bridal style. You’ve got this brilliant smile on your face as you pull his helmet off. None of the DDDs filming can hear it over the crowd noise, but Beel asks you why you just went through all that trouble and you tell him it’s because you wanted to tell him how proud you are.
Soft boy’s chest puffs up and he smiles this big cheesy smile at you reach up to run a hand through his hair. You feel him practically purr at the contact, and with a laugh you pull him in and plant a big ole smooch on him.
The crowd, at least those of them that can see, scream. Everyone is running high on adrenaline and happy emotions; something that cute causes a ruckus!! When you pull away Beel proceeds to put you on his shoulders and you celebrate with him and the rest of his team.
The videos of you two being adorable go completely viral and there are some threads dedicated to stockpiling every single angle taken of the event. Beel is completely oblivious to the attention but you have a lot of them saved on your DDD.
Belphegor:
If you think Belphegor has any sort of social media presence whatsoever then you are sorely mistaken. (Well okay he actually does run some anonymous troll accounts to meme on Lucifer’s posts but that’s neither here nor there-)
Therefore, naturally, you two go viral off of Asmo’s Devilgram. 
Okay so someone in the obey me tag the other say headcanoned that Belphie will go out of his way to nap in ridiculous places and my brain really took that and RAN WITH IT.
So what happens is that Belphie will fall asleep in the fucking weirdest places. I’m talking on top of the fridge, underneath the dinner table, on top of bookshelves...you name it, he has slept there, no matter the effort it takes to get there in the first place. 
And, ever since you two started dating, you would join him. Sometimes it involved putting yourself at risk of great bodily harm, but the little smile he gave when you he saw you fucking scaling the countertop to reach him made it worth it.
So anyway, since Beel adores the both of you to no end, he takes pictures whenever he sees you two napping together, whether or not it is in a crazy place. He sends these to the family group chat because he thinks they’re adorable.
Over a span of weeks to months, Asmo has built up a stock of images of you and Belphie cuddles up in seemingly impossible places. Once he has about ten or so, he posts a compilation of them to his Devilgram with some cheesy ass caption like “The things we do for love <3″.
They become a meme SO QUICKLY. Like UNBELIEVABLY quickly. 
The picture of you and Belphie sleeping on top of a bookshelf, in particular, is a big hit. Memes abound.
“If my girl doesn’t climb up a bookshelf to cuddle my ass, she don’t love me.” “Get yourself a partner who scales bookshelves just to be with your ass.” Etc etc...Belphie doesn’t give a shit but you laugh at a lot of them so he sees that as a good outcome.

EXCUSE IMMA NEED SOME DAD!CAL WITH HONEYBEE
Okokokokok you know the song from Juno (lol) “all I want is you” it immediately popped in my head because of the lyrics. Okay. Here we go.
••••
Ever since he felt his little girl kick against his hand while he was singing ‘All I want is you’ honeybee pretty much became her second name.
As a baby he would sing that song to her until she fell asleep, her tiny fingers clutching onto his shirt like a vice. When she’d cry in the night he’d greet her with a gentle tone, “what’s the matter my honeybee?” And he’d bounce her gently in his arms until she quieted it you came in with a bottle.
Every photo he took of her was captioned “my sweet honeybee.” She wore yellows and whites with little bees on the onesies or skirts, he even had a small bucket hat made for her with a little bee flying off a flower.
When he’s be doing something normal and she would laugh because that’s what babies do, he’d turn to her with a big smile. “Is daddy funny, honey? Huh, honeybee am I being silly?” And she’s giggle more and more as he’d lift her in his arms blowing raspberries on her belly.
Many songs have been written about his honeybee. He even got a tattoo of a honeybee with her initials on the wings. She always points to it and goes “me!” Her brown eyes (calums eyes) big and wide. “Yeah, bee, that’s you right over daddy’s heart.”
••••
Sarah, you’re about to make me write a dad!cal family with him and his little girl now I’m so soft🥺🥺🍯🐝

Have some random HC’s for the Champions. Their all in different lengths and I’m on mobile, as always, so be prepared for a LONG post.
——————
I love the very personal, and maybe a very heavy projected, HC I have that Ash is actually really tired all the time but his ADHD just gives him the drive to go Do Things because if he doesn’t he gets really bad anxiety and the giant need to Stim his arms off if he’s not moving. Like it’s hard for him to find the Zone to where he can sit still and not completely vibrate off his seat. So when he’s in Alola he like buys a bunch of different stim toys and Professor Kukui is kind of put off bu the amount he gets and the variety. Like I’m talking chew toys, the ones with silent buttons and tiny joy sticks, ones that just have weird textures that you just rub between your fingers, etc. Ash keeps them up in the loft near his bag of clothes and away from where Rockruff/Lycanroc can get to them and only takes one until it’s either destroyed/lost/or he ends up giving it to one of his friends who need to get some extra energy out and they usually forget to give it back to him until the end of the day. Kukui starts to see Ash’s grades rise pretty steadily and even starting to surpass a few others in the class, though he still lacks in certain categories like Math and Reading. Surprisingly Ash is excelling rapidly in the writing and history portion and during history lessens actually gently corrects Kukui on a few more really big recent events.
——
So like all the Champions father around for a more personal Q&A type of interview and one of the questions are “what’s your favorite type of flavor/food/dessert/etc? and why?”
Ash excitedly blurts out honey and that actually surprises a few of them, they honestly thought Ash would just say that he liked all foods. He goes and explains that his Grandma, before she past away, in Galar had this GIANT honey farm and she had stacks upon stacks of books ranging from dinner books to dessert books that use’s honey in the dishes. She had different flavors of honey, honey ice cream, somehow frozen honey that you suck on like a lollipop, this list goes on and on. She died when he was around 8 and all her bee Pokémon were donated to other honey farmers that she knew and wrote into her will. Delia wasn’t a fan of the bee Pokémon’s so she didn’t get one and Ash was really sad about that. He deflates afterwards and admitted he’s never had any of those treats/foods after her death besides plain honey sticks because he can’t find anything else that matches up to his Grandma’s honey and he’s not very keen on going and finding some bee Pokémon on his own since they need extensive care and constant attention which Ash can’t give with his lifestyle and work load.
Wallace soon pipes up that his favorite food of all time is actually mint chocolat ice cream because he and his dad, before he passed away from stage two Cancer, would go out each weekend in the summer tk a nearby ice cream stand and buy one come each before walking around the park that was right next to their house.
Leon adds that he actually likes food with lavender some how incorporated into it because his dad also liked lavender as well. He always brings a few lavender flowers every time he visits his dads grave with Hop when both are free to do so and that there’s only one restaurant in Wyndon that makes lavender ice cream and he and Raihan goes and get one after every match they have together. Even though Raihan likes stuff with Lemon in it instead of lavender.
Wallace jokes that Steven only likes plain stuff with vanilla in it but Lance fires back that Wallace always tries and makes homemade vanilla ice cream every year in Stevens birthday because he loves him.
Cynthia joins in that she craves mangos most of the time and she admits that she gets that from her Grandpa and even owns a giant cook book with all kinds of recipes with mangos incorporated.
Diantha likes dragon fruit a lot though she doesn’t have anything like a cookbook, she really likes this one restaurant that has a cooked dragon fruit dessert though.
Alder likes anything with cinnamon, he gets some light jokes at his dispense because of his hair color and him liking cinnamon, it was something he always loved from childhood.
———
Lance surprisingly wears the least amount of sleep wear among the Champions while Ash wears the most.
Like the most Lance is willing to wear on his very rare days off is a see through tank top and like some basketball shorts and that’s it.
Ash on the other hand is wearing a pair of sleep shorts under some giant pajama pants he snatched from one of his friends, a shirt, thick ass sweatshirt, and two pairs of socks on his feet.
———
Leon has this thing where he swaps one of his pillows with one of the reigning champions pillows. Like he has a red silky one from Lance, a soft white sliky one from Diantha, a long tan cased one from Alder, a black one from Steven and Wallace, and finally a grey t-shirt cotton one from Ash.
R*se tried to sneakily switch those pillows out for ones that actually match Leon’s room decor and bed spread. Leon got really offended that Rose would do such a thing, let alone having a fucking spare key to his house when Leon knows for a fact he didn’t say R*se or Oleana could have one, and promptly moved all his stuff from his house back to his mum’s and then sold his Wyndon house. R*se called Leon a child but Leon had called him out over Twitter and started the trend #PillowSnatcher
———
Alder can sing and sing very well. He usually only does it when one of his fellow colleagues are stressed or panicked. It’s deep and ironically his favorite song to sing under his breath is Chocolate Rain.
He finds it worryingly that he sings to Ash most of the time after he joins them on the line up, that and Leon is also an increasingly new occurrence.
———
Lance is League DadTM and Diantha runs an account where she, Cynthia, Alder, and the rest of the League try and catch Lance being a DadTM to Ash, Leon, and younger league members. It’s always captioned with “League Dad Strikes Again!” And Lance both hates it and loves it so much because it means he’s getting soft but Lance also doesn’t want to stop being a League DadTM because of the way the younger League always smiles more brightly at him when Lance remembers what snack or drink they like to consume after a hard day or by even just remembering their name at all.
He especially loves it when Ash gets all tired, this happened when he was much younger and started out as Lance’s secondary Champion, and sways on his feet back and forth nearing the end of a social gathering or some other kind of high end event. He was Lance’s escape excuse and he also liked to pick Ash up and have the kid snuggle into him. That action always bright him some sort of comfort knowing that he’s helping Ash.
———
On Mario Kart night they always end off it with a short Disney movie. Ash always finds himself squished between Lance and Leon. They’ed take the deepest couch to accommodate both Leon and Lance’s shoulder width. Ash would be settled on Leon’s chest and Lance would be facing away from the screen and curled up in Leon’s side. None of them really remember when this started but it soon became their end of the night ritual.
Leon also had to carry Lance and Ash back up to their secret rooms and more often then naught Leon got pulled into one of their beds for continued cuddling.
———
Speaking of Game Night!
Ash is usually the first one to the house that they always rent, and by ‘rent’ I mean it’s Wallace’s passed Uncles house that was given to him through his Will and that Wallace let’s people rent it out because it’s big and fancy and really affordable, and sets up everything.
This is where Ash’s keen sense of smell comes into play heavily becaus to him if one Champions smell mixes with another it could cause him to go into a bad headache. Like if the two Champions are cuddling or standing together Ash is completely fine! It’s just the objects that reek with their smell.
Wallace and Steven are by the lover sofa closest to the fire, Cynthia and Diantha have their blankets and pillows spilling onto the floor off of the two person sofa because that’s how they usually end up, Lance is mostly on the floor or he’ll join Alder who has the longest Sofa in the furthest in the back because he likes to read and also people watch the other Champions having fun, and Ash and Leon mostly share the more deeper width couch since Leon likes to use this time to catch up and sleep and Ash likes to use Leon as a cuddle buddy.
All their stuff is color coded as well; Wallace has teal, Steven has gray, Diantha has black, Diantha has white, Alder had reddish-orange, Lance has a dark red, Leon has purple, and Ash has dark blue.
Usually at the end of the night everyone kind of steal one thing from everyone else’s piles throughout the night. Like Wallace and Steven would be sharing one of Lance’s blankets and Wallace would have stollen Diantha’s Pangoro Pillow Pet. Alder has taken one of Ash’s pillows that had fallen to the floor and one of Stevens gray weighted blankets out of his thirty-something spares because EVERYONE likes to steal his weighted blankets instead of bringing their own.
———
All the rest of the adults are very worried for Ash’s mental health and would constantly ask if he’s okay or if there’s anything they can do to help support him or his friends. Like the kid could ask for anything and they’ll try their damn best to get it for him because Ash has risked his life for the world and their Region. It’s the least they can do for him.
This also causes Ash to get very awkward and uncharacteristically shy most of the time or to start crying softly because what their doing is a hell of a lot more then a lot of people back at his home town and this is including his mom and Professor Oak who prefer not to talk about Ash’s... Little Incidents.
The first crying session had Lance practically pulling tooth by tooth out of Ash until the older champion got the whole storie. Lance then preceded to pull every blackmail, illegal evidence, and use almost every advantage of his title and position to get the kid to be able to meet Lance’s therapist. Ash was floored and very shy through out most of it until the end when Lance’s therapist made a little headway into Ash’s obvious PTSD and problems.
It’s kind of become their thing that every time Ash is home for more then a few weeks he and Lance would go to their Therapist for a joint session over something they both share. After they leave they go to a nearby tea shop and talk about some much more lighter subjects.
———
Ash bickers a lot with most of the Legendaries. It’s gotten to the point of sibling like name calling. There’s videos taken of Ash calmly calling Zekrom a dirt eater or Kyogre a off colored off sized Wailord.
———
Back to the favorite food thing. Ash has this stupid fucking OP ability where if he consumes any kind of thing with honey in it, all his open wounds/big bruises would magically stitch back together. No one, and including Ash, knows where he got the stupid ability or when it started to happen but after every big Incident or when he gets hurt Ash, his friends, or a league member would go quickly grab him something with honey in it.
His favorite so far has to be some hibiscus tea with honey that Professor Kukui made him after they had come back from saving Lusamine. Ash had gotten large bruises at his side and Kukui worriedly watched them slowly disappear after like five minutes and Ash had gulped down three cups of the cold tea.

You know, it's pretty funny how I'm still reeling over the newest chapter from yesterday and then suddenly today, a music group I enjoyed, Mili, posted a song called "Honey Bee". XP Not gonna lie, I got Blitzbee vibes from it though I'm not sure if it'll be your cup of tea. (The song is in Japanese and French by the way, but there's English subtitles in captions)
this song is so good wtf???????? who knew french and japanese sounded so gorgeous together holy hell, weird songs like this are so up my alley

“Always on the run, I've been looking for someone. Now you're here like you've been before, and you know just what I need. It took some time for me to see.” – You Give Good Love [Whitney Houston]
Tumblr media
               For those who were acquainted with Lee Jihoon would describe him as ‘serious’ and ‘easily irritated’. And while they were true, for the most part, he was a sweetheart to you. He always tried to assist you in some way, smiled a lot, and supported you in every endeavor. He was your go-to person whenever you needed a piece of advice, or just wanted to vent. He never pressured you to talk, rather, he would sit down beside you and waited until you finish sorting out your emotions.
            And that was why you liked him so much. He was the type of person where you could sit in silence for hours without having to talk. Not to mention, he was a wonderful secret keeper and a great listener. Whenever you decided to say anything, be it a simple story about your day or some silly troubles you’ve encountered, he always scooted closer to you and listened wholeheartedly. You were grateful that someone like him existed, and sometimes wondered what did you do to deserve him in your life. If this was a blessing from God.
            You liked him, as a friend.
            But not him.
            For the longest time, Jihoon had fallen in love with you. He was shy and blunt; these traits had scared a lot of people from developing a deeper relationship with him. While you were a cheerful and energetic girl, a complete opposite from him. These people then met in a fortunate incident, where you accidentally found a slip of paper containing lyrics on the school bench. Luckily, you had spotted the name of the lyricist before you could throw it away. And thanks to your wide acquaintances and sharp memory, you managed to pinpoint his location.
            The art room, where acquaintances became friends before eventually blossomed into crushes. At least, that was what happened to Jihoon. So far, you only thought of him as a close friend, and Jihoon intended to change it with his song.
            A piece of creation that he had created from the bottom of his heart.
            A piece of himself that he had bravely displayed just for you.
            A fragment of the deep feelings that he had long harbored for you, and you only.
            “Noona,” he greeted once you entered a cubicle which was his ‘private studio’ within his equally small room.
            You had always been concerned with his living arrangement and had repeatedly offered another place to stay. With your family’s wealth and your high salary, you could afford to pay his expenses until he could search a better job with better payment. However, Jihoon always declined and said that ‘he was content living here and didn’t want to bother you more than he already had’. You didn’t understand why he thought that way when you were more than happy to help him. He had helped you so much in the past, after all, and it was only fair if you could return the favor.
            But sometimes receiving is harder than giving.
            “I told you to stop calling me that.” You huffed playfully as you plopped down on a chair beside him. You also noted that the chair was strangely more cushioned than his, even though he was the one who did the work. “It makes me feel old, you know?”
            Jihoon chuckled quietly; a cute sound that never failed to warm your heart. “We’re all getting old, anyway.”
            “Well, that’s true.” You crossed your arms like a spoiled girl who didn’t get her wishes granted by her parents. “But you don’t need to remind me. You know how much I hate it.”
            Rolling the chair closer to his, you leaned forward. Jihoon’s body tensed up a little when he felt your warm breath hit his cheek, yet the reaction went unnoticed by you. “So, what are you going to show me?”
            Jihoon hummed, teasing you for the sake of poor suspense whilst trying to calm his thumping heart at the proximity.
            “Oh, come on! I’m dying here!” you whined, shaking his left arm playfully.
            “Alright, alright, you can stop shaking my arm now.” Though, he didn’t mind if you continued. It reminded him of a child wanting to know every secret that he harbored from them. And besides, it has been a long time since you last held him like this. Jihoon had almost forgotten how euphoric the feeling of your skin wrapped around his.
            “Then, hurry up! I’m curious.”
            Jihoon giggled before reaching out to grab his guitar from beside the table. Slinging the strap around his neck, he looked up to you with a shy yet eager glint that you hadn’t seen for years. You remembered him giving you that glance when you first checked out his lyric; the one that he intentionally wrote for you to see and not when you accidentally found.
            “I made a song,” he coughed into his palm when he noticed his voice went a bit high-pitched due to nervousness. “And I want to know if you like it or not.”
            There was a brief period of silence as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Once he finally prepped himself up, he began to croon.
                I believe in you and me
                 I believe that we will be
                 In love eternally
                 Well as far as I can see
                 You will always be the one
                 For me (Oh yes, you will)
                 And I believe in dreams again
                 I believe that love will never end
                 And like the river finds the sea
                 I was lost, now I’m free
                 Cuz I believe in you and me
                 I will never leave your side
                 I will never hurt your pride
                 Then I will always be around
                 Just to be right where you are
                 My love, you know I love you
                 When all the chips are down, baby
            Jihoon peeked from his lashes, trying to gauge your reaction. He hoped you would notice the underlying sentiment in that song; about how much he believed that you two would end up together and about how much he loved you. That he would always be loyal to you regardless of the situations. Jihoon also hoped you would notice how that fateful encounter had brought freedom on to his wandering figure. How he had been lost in his mind, searching and wondering if he could ever taste what love felt like – what dating felt like – until he finally met you.
            However, you weren’t a keen judge.
            “That was awesome!” you exclaimed as you applauded his short performance. “Wow, this was the first time I’ve heard you singing. Usually, you just stick with the lyrics. Your voice is wonderful, Jihoon.”
            “Ah,” he blushed, rubbing his nape bashfully. “Thank you. It was nothing, really.”
            “My, Jihoon. You really need to stop undermining yourself. If honed right, you could be a great singer and songwriter in no time!” you gushed, oblivious to his admiring stare that delighted in your gusto. “Then, you could finally afford a nice place!”
            “You’re right, but...” Jihoon inclined his head slightly as he braced himself for your response. “What do you think about that song? Did you... get the feeling I was trying to convey?”
            “Oh, you know I got it. You sang with such love and adoration and affection I was starting wonder if you created this song for someone...” you trailed off before your face lit up. “Or maybe you actually have a special someone, that’s why you asked for my opinion?!”
            “W-what? I–”
            “Aw, don’t be shy!” you cooed, unintentionally cutting him off mid-sentence with your overflowing excitement. “I’m so happy that you finally get someone to love! Hopefully, you can introduce me to them soon. I can’t wait to see the person who has stolen my best friend’s heart!”
            Best friend...
            “So, I’m just a best friend to you...?”
            “What?” you laughed heartily, unaware of his darkening expression nor his softening voice. “Of course, you are. You’re the greatest best friend I’ve ever had! Anyone would be lucky to have you in their lives!”
            “Oh...”
            Right before the conversation could escalate to awkward silence, your phone suddenly rang.
            “Sorry, I gotta leave now. Baekhyun is calling me. Bye, Jihoon! Love ya.” you said in one breath, abruptly standing up from the rolling chair.
            Jihoon's curiosity perked up as he slowly raised his head, discerning you rushing out of the room through his black bangs.
            “Baek... Hyun.” Oh, he knew that guy alright. He was your long-time crush. Jihoon remembered when you came to him and gushed about how handsome and adorable Baekhyun was the second day after you established your friendship with Jihoon.
            He supposed it was understandable that you would like Baekhyun in the first place. He had a cute ‘puppy’ face, charming, and energetic. A social butterfly, unlike Jihoon. The type of guy who’s girls with no important businesses flocked towards like bees to honey.
            Jihoon knew you weren’t definite with your ideal type and had wished that you might have forgotten about your silly – cringe-worthy – crush towards the taller boy. It’s been like... What? Seven years since they graduated from high school.
            Unless you had been secretly contacting him...
            The short man fished out his phone from the back pocket and went to your Instagram account. You were a well-known designer, so in order to attract more customers, you often uploaded your creations. Fortunately, you liked to upload your selfies in there as well. Your account was set in public, therefore Jihoon could easily find the recent photo.
            And the newest one was a picture of you sitting in a cozy café not too far from his apartment, with a caption: “I'm waiting~ XD”
            Satisfied with the discovery, Jihoon leaned back and smirked to the ceiling.
            He knew what he had to do now.

Vintage Film Fest (Pt. 2)
[Summary]: You and Steve have been dating for a while and you surprise him with a pair of tickets to a vintage film festival as an anniversary date

A/N: Second Laurel and Hardy gif was made by yours truly! So, since Tumblr links no longer work you can find the first part of this short series in my masterlist. And again, I encourage you guys to watch the movies and shorts I mention in this as they are all wonderful and amazing (heads up though: some of them are silent!) and all can be found on YouTube. I also suggest you listen to the song I mention at the end while reading it.. it’ll make the mood even sweeter!
Tumblr media
Night number two of your four night vintage film fest came fast. And you were sure that this one was going to be really good as well. You couldn’t wait till you and Steve got back to the theater. When it was time to go, Steve practically rushed you out the door.
“Steve!” you yelled as you almost tripped over your own shoe.
“What?” he said as he locked the door. “I wanna make sure that we get good seats again.”
You stood next to the car and placed your hands on your hips, giving him “the face”. He stopped, looked down and gave a sheepish grin then ever so slightly looked up at you with those puppy dog eyes. You cracked almost instantly.
“Damn you and those eyes,” you huffed, as he unlocked the car grinning widely, knowing he won you over once again.
When you got there and Steve parked the car, he helped you out and he offered you his arm once again. He never ceased to amaze you. As excited as he was about this and wanted to make sure he got good seats again for the two of you, he still acted like a gentleman. And after getting snacks and drinks, the two of you walked into a half filled theater but still found some decent seats.
After you put your cup in the cupholder, you looked around and nudged Steve saying, “I guess other people thought of your plan too.” And gave him a small smile and winked. He rolled his eyes and you playfully hit his arm.
There was still some time to wait before the movies and shorts started so you played some games on your phone. You then took a selfie of you and Steve and posted it to your Insta, captioning it with “Spending our six month anniversary the bet way possible: doing a vintage film fest!” and added several hearts to the end.
When it was finally time for everything to start you nestled a bit more into your seat, linked your arm around Steve’s and intertwined your fingers with his. Placing your head on his shoulder, you felt him kiss the top of it and you just couldn’t help but smile.
Your smile got even wider when you saw what the first short was that appeared on the screen; Buster Keaton’s Cops. This was one of your absolute favorites for a reason. His stunt skills in this were out of this word.
Laughter already broke out within the first minute when it looked like Buster was behind bars but was in fact behind a gate. You never saw so many kids laugh so hard in their lives, let alone to something as simple as that.
And even more laughter happened when Buster tried to help out a man and his wallet but then turned to gasps when the kids noticed that another man Buster tried helping only wanted the money that he had by making it look like he was thrown out of his apartment with all his “furniture” which happened to be someone else’s that was moving out.
But laugh rang out once more when Buster had bought a horse and loaded the furniture on the wagon with the help of the people that were moving. It became quiet again as he wandered his way to nowhere with the horse and the wagon full of furniture but then got caught in a parade full of police.
Gasps broke out once more when someone threw a bomb into the parade but landed next to Buster and he lit a cigarette with the fuse and threw it off to the side, making it explode in front of a group of cops. It quickly turned to laughter when Buster started getting chased by the hundreds of cops and getting into crazy situations with them. Along with having one his most famous stunts happen: him grabbing the end of a vehicle as it drives past him, literally pulling him of the ground.
Tumblr media
It gave you goosebumps every time you watched it, knowing that Buster did that stunt all on his own. You swore that he was in a league all his own when it came to stunts and even though Harold Lloyd did his all his own stunts too, he couldn’t hold a candle to Buster. Nobody could.
When the first break in between shorts happened, you and Steve sat in your seats patiently waiting for the next one to start. The couple behind you recognized Steve and asked if they could get a pic with him which was fine with both of you. They then started a conversation with you, asking how long you and Steve had been together and what movies and shorts were your favorites out of what was played so far. The four of you talked until the lights went dark again in the theater and the next one started.
You got so excited when you saw which one was playing next: Laurel and Hardy’s You’re Darn Tootin’, your absolute favorite silent short from the duo. Laughter erupted as soon as the title card popped up: “The story of two musicians who played neither by note nor ear - - They used brute strength - -” and it kept going when the band leader tapped his stick to make everyone sit down, except Stan and Ollie which made him tap it again, and this time the boys sat down while everyone else stood up.
Hilarity ensued as Stan and Ollie kept messing up their parts and Stan’s clarinet kept having pieces fall off. More laughter rang out as the two of them made a complete mess of the whole band and were fired. The theater was quiet once more when the boys went back to the boarding house they were staying at and the landlady threw them out after finding out they had no job any more.
The laughing picked back up when the boys went through a series of trying to be street musicians but were still screwing everything up and nobody liked hearing them anyway, which then turned into Stan and Ollie having an argument and ruining each other’s instrument.
Tumblr media
You swore that the laughter could’ve been heard from the street as the next part happened which was Laurel and Hardy getting into a fight and started to tear each other’s clothes apart, which then somehow spread to passersby's in general, until the street was filled with men pulling each other's pants off.
When the short ended and the lights went on, you saw so many people wiping the tears from their eyes because of laughing so hard. It was such a great sight to see, especially seeing that so many kids were enjoying themselves with watching all these old yet wonderful films and shorts. 
You and Steve took turns going to the restroom and refilling your drinks and had just enough time left before the next one started. And it was all smiles for you and Steve again when you two saw what the next one was.
Another one of Laurel and Hardy but this was the first film they did together called Pardon Us and the laughter started almost immediately when Stan talked and made a raspberry. Laughs continued seeing as the boys got arrested for selling their own home made beer to a police officer.
Laughter came and went with watching the boys go to “school” in jail, get locked up in solitary over night, escape from jail only to get caught and get into more trouble due to Stan’s loose tooth that buzzed every time he talked.
Tumblr media
But the best part was when Stan had to go get to the dentist to get it pulled. It was one of your favorite scenes mostly due to Stan being so overly nervous about the whole thing.
Soon the movie was over and a little longer break took place. You and Steve turned around and conversed again with the couple behind you. It was so nice getting to talk to a couple that looked around to be in their early thirties and to learn that they both grew up watching these old movies from their grandparents and met during a film festival.
“It’s amazing where you can find love, isn’t it?” you asked.
The girl shook her head and kissed her husband on the cheek. When she pulled away, the speakers made the announcement that the theater was going to be playing the next film in three minutes. And soon it started.
Yet another one of your favorite Buster movies came on, Seven Chances. You loved the fact that this one had three whole minutes, THREE WHOLE MINUTES of color at the beginning of it. You told Steve it was because at the time, that was when colored film was started to be tested out. And you couldn’t contain your sighs when you saw Buster in color. Steve gave you a side-eyed glance and you noticed, which made you giggle.
“I still love you,” you whispered and kissed his cheek.
“As long as I know the competition I’m up against,” he said sarcastically with a sly grin. You gave him “the face” once again and he couldn’t help but smile and wrap you in his arms.
The audience watched quietly as Buster was told by a lawyer that he was to inherit seven million dollars providing he is married by seven o’clock on his twenty-seventh birthday, which was that day.
You started hearing sniffles from parts of the theater as Buster went to ask the only girl he ever loved to marry her. But after a bad explanation as to why they were to be married that day, terrible heart break happened and you started hearing louder sobs. You yourself started to get teary eyed and brought out a couple tissues from your purse to dab away the tears.
Hilarity soon started to ensue though as he started to go ask seven women that he knew were available to marry him, each with hilarious results of the answer being a no. Roars of laughter continued as Buster’s friend said he would help him find a bride, while Buster then started to ask every single girl he met to marry him, each and every single encounter having it’s hilarious results.
Laughter pretty much continued throughout the rest of the movie, especially when every woman possible started to pour into the church after they read in the paper that Buster was to inherit all that money. The laughter came even harder during the chase scene when all of them started chasing him but not before he found out that the girl he loved, the first one he asked to marry, really did want to marry him, all the while trying to make sure he married her before seven o’clock, looking at every clock possible.
As the chase scene went on, you loved seeing Buster run. You swore that man could outrun anything. And the stunts he did during the chase! It amazed you that even though you had seen this film numerous times, it still managed to give you goosebumps from seeing him grab onto the spare tire of a moving car, running and jumping across a small canyon to jumping and rolling into rocks which start an avalanche and eventually make the mob of women run away.
Quietness finally came when Buster made it back to the house but was told he was too late. Sniffles from around the theater started up again as the girl still wanted to marry him money or not but he refused to let her share his impending disgrace. More sniffles and a few louder sobs happened when the most beautiful somber face overcame Buster.
Tumblr media
When the movie ended, cheers and applause broke out. You heard several people around you say what a beautiful and funny film it was and that the chase scene was the best part.
Another break happened before the last movie of the night and it seemed to go by very quick. Before you knew it, the lights of the theater dimmed once more and you were thrilled that it was ending with a Harold Lloyd talkie film. You loved hearing him talk. He had such a cute voice.
Laughter erupted when Harold practiced his acting in the kitchen and when he left the car running because of his excitement from getting his letter from Hollywood, which caused it to roll backwards and crash into another car.
Laughs were plentiful throughout the film, with seeing Harold cause trouble with his first “acting” job, meeting the production chief and losing his shoe down the drain pipe during a storm.
Tumblr media
You smiled at the gasps and tiny bit of chatter that were heard through the theater when Harold went to go give flowers to a girl he likes and she rejected them, throwing to the floor and kicking them only to fall and Harold catch her in his arms and kiss her. And you smiled even bigger when you heard sighs come from all over when he kissed her again.
You looked over at Steve who rolled his eyes over the drama and placed your fingers on his chin, slowly turning his face towards you. He looked at you with those blue eyes dancing in darkness. You then gently placed your lips on his and he wrapped you tightly in his arms as he deepened the kiss. Pulling away, he smiled at you and you nestled your head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around your shoulder.
When the movie was over and everyone filed out of the theater, you and Steve slowly made your way to the car. With no clouds and a full moon hanging in the night sky, it made the most beautiful light dance around the two of you. You started to hum “There’s A Moon Out Tonight” which turned into you singing it which then turned into a full on dance with Steve in the parking lot.
It almost felt like as if you were just swept up in one of these old movies. It felt like pure movie magic.

~ Issue # 6 ~ Book One: Chapter Six: When The Wheel Turns ~
PAGE 1, PANEL 1
Page width panel. High view of the Byzantine Academy with the Manhattan suburbs behind and the horizon with a sunset beyond. In the foreground seagulls and pigeons fly over the rooftops.
PAGE 1, PANEL 2
Page width panel. Close up of Tom’s hands bound together by restraints, fists clenched, the blue energy of magic building between them, more powerful looking than we’ve seen in past issues.
PAGE 1, PANEL 3
Two half page panels on this bottom tier. Head to waist shot of Tom dressed entirely in white as we saw him back in issue # 3. The energy in his hands is now a pure ice blue white, a bubble of blue energy expanding out from him as Ministry guards back away.
PAGE 1, PANEL 4
Full shot of him now breaking his restraints, spreading his arms outward, shouting out with a primal rage, a wave of blue energy erupting from him, blasting the guards backward across the courtyard.
PAGE 2, PANEL 1
FULL PAGE SPLASH: In the foreground is a full shot of Tom walking through the courtyard, his face bloodied, his expression filled with anger and power. There’s no border on this full page splash, instead the twisted main gates on either side are framing him. Behind him the front of the Academy is scorched and aflame and on the ground of the courtyard the guards lay dead. And now, with this wider shot we see there are also students laying dead nearby.
ARTIST NOTE: Written across the bottom of the panel between the open gates is the title, Book One: Chapter 6, When The Wheel Turns.
PAGE 3, PANEL 1
SPLASH: Exterior shot of a 17th century plantation style house, the kind often seen back in the old slavery days. This particular one is very much like the Seaward Plantation, Texas. On the porch area is an old wicker chair with Mother M waking with a start. This is a younger Mother M when she was a professor at he Academy and her name was Marissa Winters and shows she hasn’t aged.
MARISSA: No …  
CAPTION: North Carolina.
PAGE 3, PANEL 2
Three panels on this bottom tier. Full shot of her in an old study of the house. Its four wood panelled walls are filled entirely by shelves of books. The morning light is falling in through a mullioned window and directly onto a large mahogany desk. She’s bent over, studying a shelf, running her finger along a line of books.
PAGE 3, PANEL 3
Close up shot of a book she has chosen now open on the desk as she turns its old, yellowed pages. The words ‘Way Back When’ are written on the left hand page and on the right hand page are  Celtic and Runic markings similar to the Masque Of Magellan symbol.
PAGE 3, PANEL 4
Head to waist semi-profile shot of her with the morning light falling across her face. She’s talking into an old fashioned black telephone.
MARISSA: I don’t care if he is in a meeting. I need to speak to him now.
MARISSA: It’s urgent. I’m one of the Five. If I ask, you get it done.
PAGE 4, PANEL 1
Exterior shot of an old courthouse style building. Steps lead up to its front entrance and above its high open wooden doors a lopsided wire sign reads: HALOS. Cables snake out from the building to a series of generators placed nearby. Fire escapes have been welded to its façade, the style usually seen on buildings in cities like New York, with a series of tiered balconies between them, on these people are sat drinking, talking or just leaning and looking out at the surrounding shanty town. In the foreground is a full shot of Jesse and Izzie from behind as they walk toward it. On an old style bar sign are the words ’35 Years Later.’
ARTIST NOTE: I’ve used the lyrics to my own song ‘Hey, Do You Feel Loved.’ S.F.X: Baby faced angel, you’re honey for this swarm of bees. Inside, outside, red lights, shadow of your figure through a screen. You’re swinging your head, hair dripping like something you bled …
S.F.X: You’re in your own little world, everybody loves you. You’re dancing tip toes, you’re shedding all your clothes, everybody loves you …
JESSE: So this place is?
IZZIE: This place, Jesse Miller, is Halos. And it definitely ain’t no dive.
PAGE 4, PANEL 2
SPLASH:  Interior shot. In the background of the top right of the panel are Jesse and Izzie stood at the top of the elevated entrance and a double staircase that leads down onto a sunken dance floor. The interior is made up of the original courthouse pews with seated alcoves along the side walls. Also dotted around are Pool, roulette and card tables. The whole place has a grungy used, thrown together kind of look to it, it’s a scavenged kind of place, dingy, dark, with coloured disco lights that spot light the dance floor. In the foreground half naked male and female dancers cavort suggestively as they drag blue trails of magic using their hands.
S.F.X: You’re such a big splash, you’re a head long car crash, everybody wants you. You’re sister to my brother, you’re every son’s mother, you’re a little uptight until you get your fix. Got yourself your own little piece of heaven, got yourself the stuff you really love …
S.F.X: Hey sister tell me is it ever enough for you, sister, tell me do you really feel loved? Hey, do you feel loved at all, sweet baby child.
S.F.X: You’re a figure eight through the rising steam, inside, outside, red lights, shadow of your love behind a screen. You’re pouting through your lips, red rose tattoos upon your hips, you’re in your own little world …
JESSE: Jesus, this place is just so …
IZZIE: Yep, ain’t it just.  
PAGE 5, PANEL 1
Page width panel. Wide shot of them both sat in a semi-circle alcove booth. Both are sat back, sagged into the seating. On the table are a bunch of beer bottles dotted about two plates with  half eaten chicken pieces on them. They are clearly worse for wear.
ARTIST NOTE: I’ve used the lyrics to my own song ‘Little Miss Bombardier.’ S.F.X: She’s such a space age kinda girl, she knows it’s the future where it’s really at, she doesn’t want the latest fashion or any of that, it’s the real deal she’s after. She’s found her own style and you can be sure she knows it.
JESSE: So, where exactly do you live, Izzie Washington?
IZZIE: I live here.
JESSE: Yeah right, wait … seriously?
IZZIE: Yep, upstairs, in the penthouse no less. I got a deal with the owner.
PAGE 5, PANEL 2
Three panels on this tier. Similar to the previous panel but now a closer shot of them with Jesse holding a bottle beer, about to down it.
S.F.X: She’s never been part of the it crowd, but the it crowd can never really compare, she knows where she’s going and it’s so very far out there.
JESSE: Deal?
IZZIE: Well, she’s a business woman, and I’m kind of an entertainer. She makes deals, I dress up, I entertain her guests. I help the deal go through smoothly, grease the wheels, keep ’em sweet.
PAGE 5, PANEL 3
Similar shot of them but now Jesse is leaning her head on Izzie’s shoulder.
S.F.X: She knows just what it takes to really get ahead, she’s found her way and you can be sure she won’t blow it.
JESSE: When you say keep ‘em sweet …?
IZZIE: Whatever the deal requires, and I get pretty much whatever I want. Ain’t the best deal for sure but it’s mostly okay I guess.
PAGE 5, PANEL 4
Similar to the previous panel but now Jesse is sitting forward again as she spits her beer out, her surprise at Izzie’s comment clear.
S.F.X: Little Miss Bombardier, she’s going to war against the night. Little Miss Bombardier she’s flying so very high.
IZZIE: One of em’, he wanted me to stick my fingers up his arse and piss in his mouth, but we gotta make a living somehow, right?
JESSE: Uh, yeah, right.
PAGE 5, PANEL 5
There panels on this bottom tier. Head to waist shot of Jesse about to take another drink of her beer, with Izzie stood, gripping her arm.
S.F.X: Little Miss Bombardier, she’s a girl with her eyes on the sky.
IZZIE: Okay, come on, let’s hit the dance floor!
PAGE 5, PANEL 6
Full shot of them on a chess board like dance floor. Izzie is dancing suggestively, running her fingers through her hair, while Jesse is stood there stiffly, looking utterly and completely out of place.
S.F.X: Little Miss Bombardier, she hears the sound of the distant sitars. Little Miss Bombardier, she’s dreaming up among the stars.
JESSE: Um, it’s been awhile.
IZZIE: All the more reason ‘en. Now shift that southern booty Jesse Miller.
JESSE: I’m kinda stiff, not sure I can …
PAGE 5, PANEL 7
Floor level shot, looking up at both of them as they’re pulled upward into the air toward a bright shimmering watery light above.
S.F.X: She’s a dreamer, she’s a dreamer.
JESSE: Whoah!
PAGE 6, PANEL 1
FULL PAGE SPLASH: Full shot of them suspended in the air, holding each other, about to kiss, their hair floating like they’re underwater. Jesse is now fully in the moment, smiling as she leans in for the kiss. All about them lights glimmer and sparkle, full of colour, with the shadows of other figures faintly seen through the glow. The blue energy of magic twists and twirls about them, and at the top of the panel a glass ceiling, showing the starry night sky.
S.F.X: She’s a dreamer, she’s a dreamer.
JESSE: Oh.
IZZIE: Like I said, ain’t it just.
JESSE: Ain’t it just indeed.
PAGE 7, PANEL 1
Page width panel. It‘s night and it‘s raining heavily.  Wide exterior shot of the Norwood Club. P.O.V is from the opposite side of the street. The words ‘Way Back When’ are written on a nearby street sign.
CAPTION: 14th Street, Lower Manhattan.
CAPTION: The Norwood Club.
AGATHA ( O.P ): I’m not exactly clear why you called this meeting, Marissa.
MARRISA ( O.P ): I called it, Agatha, because this council has taken its eye off the ball.
PAGE 7, PANEL 2
Page width panel. In the foreground is a head to waist shot of Marissa from behind with eleven members of the Council sat around a long wooden table, including prominent members Agatha Richmond and Nathaniel Sparrow. Their speaker, Noah Hawthorne is sat at the head of the table facing her. Michael Valentyne stood by the wall, calmly and silently observing what’s going on.
NOAH: How so?
MARISSA: You’ve been focusing on the wrong enemy.
AGATHA: We only have one enemy.
VALENTYNE: If only that were true.
PAGE 7, PANEL 3
Page width panel. Head to chest shot of Noah from behind with a head to waist shot of Marissa at the other end of the table facing him.
NOAH: If you have a point, Marissa, please make it.
MARISSA: The point, Noah, is that yesterday I had a vision.
NOAH: A vision?
PAGE 8, PANEL 1
Three panels on this top tier. Full shot of Valentyne by the wall, observing.
VALENTYNE: Noah, if I have learnt one thing in my time on this planet, it is that when Marissa has something to say it wise to listen.
PAGE 8, PANEL 2
Head to waist shot of Sparrow, his expression arrogant, full of hubris.
SPARROW: Visions are not in the purview of this council, we deal in facts …
PAGE 8, PANEL 3
Similar to panel 1 but now it’s a head to chest semi-profile shot of Valentyne.
VALENTYNE: I once ignored one of Marissa’s visions to my lasting regret. I, for one, want this council to hear what she has to say.
PAGE 8, PANEL 4
Three panels on this bottom tier. Head and shoulders shot of Valentyne from behind with a shot of Noah looking across the table.
NOAH: Magellan.
VALENTYNE: Exactly.
PAGE 8, PANEL 5

AGATHA: Are you saying I’ve travelled five hundred miles just for a …
MARISSA M: Yes.
PAGE 8, PANEL 6
Head to waist shot of Noah sat at the table, his hands resting on it.

AGATHA: Yes.
PAGE 9, PANEL 4
Two panels on this bottom tier. Head to chest semi-profile shot of Noah lighting a cigarette, his gaze still focused entirely on Agatha.

NOAH: Marissa, please continue.
PAGE 9, PANEL 5
Head to chest semi-profile shot of Marissa, the shadows of the raindrops on the window on her face, her troubled thoughts are clear.

PAGE 10, PANEL 1
Three panels on this top tier. Full shot of Marissa M now turned from the window, facing them again, with the rain falling outside.
SPARROW ( O.P ): How could a boy?

PAGE 10, PANEL 2
Head to waist profile shot of Noah, smoke pluming up from his cigarette.
NOAH: And this boy will do something bad?
PAGE 10, PANEL 3
Similar to panel 5, page 9, but now it’s a head and shoulders shot of Marissa.
MARISSA: Well, that’s the thing, these visions aren’t ever totally clear, it’s almost always bits and pieces, kind of vague. Far as I can tell, this boy, he’s either going to save us all or he’s going to damn us.
PAGE 10, PANEL 4
Three panels on this bottom tier. Wide shot of her from behind, with the council members facing her in the background of the panel.

MARISSA: I have to admit, it’s certainly a new wrinkle.
PAGE 10, PANEL 6

VALENTYNE: It is that.
VALENTYNE: But maybe there’s a way to straighten out that wrinkle.
PAGE 11, PANEL 1
SPLASH: Wide shot of a small town street. Maybe something similar to one of the streets in a place like Jacksonville, Oregan, with red brick buildings either side. It’s deserted with empty shops, bars and cafes. Windows are smashed, cars abandoned, the road full of debris. The first hints of sunrise show at the street’s end with an orange tint. In the foreground rats scurry for food and a fallen bus stop sign that has the words ‘35 Years Later’ written on it.

JOBE: Yes, I will show you, just as we did before. It will be hard at first, but in time it will become second nature to you, as if did for me.
PAGE 12, PANEL 1
Half page panel. In the foreground is a full shot of Matilda crouched in an alleyway, holding a dead rat in her hands and biting down into it, her mouth bloodied, dripping down her chin. Her eyes have that familiar yellow tinge that represents Dark Magic. She resembles a feral animal. Jobe is stood nearby watching her.
JOBE: That’s it, bite slowly. Feed the hunger you feel but don’t let it consume you. Feel your heartbeat, that’s it, slow your breath, push the feeling down. You’ll feel it’s pull on you subside, that’s it now.
PAGE 12, PANEL 2
Two panels on this vertical tier. Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Matilda, her eyes with a yellow tinge but fainter than before.

PAGE 13, PANEL 2
Two panels on this vertical tier. Head to waist shot of them in a main street, similar to the earlier one, but with more empty, parked cars.
JOBE: And it will get easier too. We can’t change what we are anymore than we can stop breathing, but we can at least control it.
PAGE 13, PANEL 3
Head to waist profile shot of them walking with Matilda in the foreground.
MATILDA: Will we always be like this?
PAGE 13, PANEL 4
Insert.
Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Jobe frowning, thoughtful.
ARTIST NOTE: This insert is in the top left hand corner of panel 5.
JOBE: Always, at least as long as there is still Dark Magic in this world.
PAGE 13, PANEL 5
SPLASH: In the foreground is a full shot of him and Matilda from behind, looking across a car park to a Kmart building. They’re stood at its edge and it’s filled with empty rusted vehicles of all sorts and abandoned food carts laying about, many reclaimed by nature.
JOBE: But perhaps some day that may change.
PAGE 14, PANEL 1
SPLASH: High view shot of them now inside the Kmart walking along one of the aisles, Jobe pushing a food cart as Matilda walks beside him. Stock is strewn all over the floor, other food carts stand partly filled or just empty. There are cobwebs in the foreground.
MATILDA: What was the world like before?
JOBE: It was different, neither was bad or really good. It wasn’t perfect. There were things that needed to change, but I  think it was better.
PAGE 14, PANEL 2
Three panels on this bottom tier. Head to chest shot of Matilda leaning forward curiously and with a sense of wonder, studying a glamorous model on a hair dye product, the tips of her fingers on it.
MATILDA: Will it ever be like that again.
PAGE 14, PANEL 3
Full shot of them from behind near the tills. Above them is a big sale sign that has graffiti spayed over it that reads: MAGIC IS DEAD.
JOBE: No, I don’t think so, whatever comes next will be different, different to now, different to how it was before. We can’t go back now.
MATILDA: But it could be better?
PAGE 14, PANEL 4
In the foreground is the sale sign seen from the opposite side with a shot of Jobe and Matilda in the aisle below, Jobe looking up at it.

PAGE 16, PANEL 4
Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Elijah. He’s frowning, thoughtful.
ELIJAH: So why call me?
PAGE 16, PANEL 5
Half page panel. This is a forehead to chin semi-profile shot of Marissa.
MARISSA: Well, it’s really kinda simple, we have a very special request of you, Elijah. One that may take you years of your life, but in doing so, you just might potentially save the lives of millions.
PAGE 17, PANEL 1
Page width panel. In the foreground is the interior of a rusted and wrecked pick up truck with a head and shoulders shot of a skeleton, and through it’s side window we see Jobe and Matilda walking past an overgrown basketball court. Jobe is pushing the food cart he has taken from the Kmart. A fence sign reads: ‘35 Years Later.’
MATILDA: Are you my friend?
JOBE: I can be if you want me to be.
MATILDA: Yes, I’d like that.
PAGE 17, PANEL 2
Two panels on this tier. Full shot of them walking along the sidewalk.
MATILDA: Have you had a friend before?
JOBE: Once, I’m not sure I was such a good friend to him though.
PAGE 17, PANEL 3
Similar to the previous panel but now Matilda is looking up at the sky.
MATILDA: Why not?
JOBE: He tried to help me, but I didn’t listen when I should have, I made a mistake and it cost him dearly. I can never repay that debt.
PAGE 17, PANEL 4
Two panels on this bottom tier. In the foreground a rat is scurrying ahead of them, and Matilda’s gaze is now clearly upon it.
MATILDA: But you’ll try.
PAGE 17, PANEL 5
Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Jobe, half his face in shadow, the other half in sunlight. The sadness and regret clear in his eyes.
JOBE: Yes … I’ll try.
PAGE 18, PANEL 1
Page width panel. Overhead wide shot of Izzie’s penthouse apartment. It’s kind of high class but kind of trashy too, with leopard prints, bean bags, a large fireplace and rug. In the centre of the panel is a round bed. Jesse is lying face up as she wakes, stretching sleepily. There’s a satin sheet over her, her naked leg hanging out. The other side of the bed sheet is turned down and empty. Beer bottles, clothes and her NASA cap are strewn over the floor.
JESSE: Damn, I’ve had some nights, but last night, that was just …

PAGE 18, PANEL 4
Three panels on this bottom tier. Exterior shot through the penthouse window, her figure obscured as she puts her clothes on.
PAGE 18, PANEL 5
Full shot of her, now fully dressed, walking down the main stairs of Halos. It’s early, shafts of light falling in, and pretty much empty.
JESSE: Izzie?
IZZIE ( O.P ): Oh hey, Jesse J.
PAGE 18, PANEL 6
Full shot of Izzie sat on a bar stool, dressed in underwear and a vest. On the counter are discarded vials and she appears to be using a steam punk style needle of some sort to inject into her arm.
IZZIE: Just getting a little after party fix up, ya want some?
PAGE 19, PANEL 1
Three panels on this top tier. Head to chest shot of Jesse staring at Izzie, her expression a mixture of hurt, disappointment and confusion.

PAGE 19, PANEL 3
Similar to panel 1 but now Jesse looks more annoyed than anything.
JESSE: You’re injecting it?
PAGE 19, PANEL 4
Three panels on this tier. Head to waist semi-profile shot of Izzie, looking down at the needle, pushing her thumb down on it as she injects.
IZZIE: One hundred pure percent I am, only the best around here.
PAGE 19, PANEL 5
Full shot of them both by the bar, Jesse slamming her fist on the counter.
JESSE: Sonavabitch, the first person I get under the sheets with in months and you turn out to be nothin’ but a godamn magic junkie?
PAGE 19, PANEL 6
Head and shoulders profile shot of them, Jesse up close, just staring.

Two panels on this bottom tier. Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Izzie, her expression changed, now disinterested and icy cold.
IZZIE: Comprende?

Head to waist shot of Jesse in the foreground, walking away, stone faced, with Izzie in the background looking down at the needle again.
JESSE: Yeah, comprende.
PAGE 20, PANEL 1
Half page panel. Full shot of Jesse walking along the main street. All about her the town coming to life. People stand on the street, others open window shutters, a beggar with a bowl, riders attending to their horses, dogs roaming, a juggler juggling blue balls of magical energy. Behind her are stables and a rusty old garage. Her head is bowed, the NASA cap throwing a shadow over her face.
PAGE 20, PANEL 2
Two panels on this vertical tier. Full shot of Mother M in the foreground with a full shot of Jesse stood by the front door of the hotel lounge, her face contorting as she yawns and stretches herself.
MOTHER M: Damn, either you had a bad night, or a really good one.
JESSE: I think it was a bit of both.
JESSE: *Yawn* Where is he?
PAGE 20, PANEL 3
Head to waist profile shot of them facing each other, Jesse looking blinkered as she rubs her tired looking and puffed up eyes.
MOTHER M: He came in last night looking just like you. Up with the sun though.
JESSE: He’s out already?
MOTHER M: Yep.
JESSE: Great.
PAGE 20, PANEL 4
Two panels on this bottom tier. Full shot of them now at the lounge bar, Mother M is stood behind it pouring orange juice from a big jug into a glass, and Jesse is leaning tiredly on the counter.
MOTHER M: I heard you two had words.
JESSE: He had words, I kinda listened, then I just left. Listen, if you’re gonna tell me he’s not such a bad guy I really don’t give a shit.  
PAGE 20, PANEL 5
Forehead to chin semi-profile shot of Jesse. Her face filling the panel.
JESSE: I just need to know I can trust him.
PAGE 21, PANEL 1
Three panels on this top tier. Mother M from Jesse’s P.O.V, now looking a lot more serious, a whole unknown history written on  her face.
MOTHER M: You can trust him.
PAGE 21, PANEL 2
Head to waist profile shot of them facing each other across the counter. Mother M now pushing the full glass of orange over to Jesse.
MOTHER M: You’re both wrong you know.
JESSE: About what?
MOTHER M: About magic.
PAGE 21, PANEL 3
Head to waist shot of Jesse, the glass in the foreground as she looks at it.
JESSE: Yeah? Someone else tried to tell me that lately. Funny thing is, they’re kinda dead, and it was magic that got them that way.
PAGE 21, PANEL 4
Three panels on this bottom tier. This is similar to panel 2 but now Jesse is holding the glass and is just about to take a drink from it.
MOTHER M: So, you’re going on that damn foolish quest then?
JESSE: You know about that, huh?
MOTHER M: Oh, I know.
PAGE 21, PANEL 5
Head to chest shot of Jesse from Mother M’s P.O.V, her gaze questioning.
JESSE: And you think we’re wrong?
PAGE 21, PANEL 6
Head and shoulders semi-profile shot of Mother M, her face partly in shadow, her eyes are full of wisdom. She knows about this.
MOTHER M: I think you’ve both got your reasons, but just remember, there ain’t nothing in this life ever goes the way you expect.
PAGE 22, PANEL 1
Insert.
Over the shoulder shot of Jesse about to down the rest of the glass.
ARTIST NOTE: The two inserts run along the top of the full page splash.
JESSE: Yeah, no shit. Do you know where he went?
MOTHER M: Yep.
PAGE 22, PANEL 2
Insert.
Head to waist profile shot of them facing each other across the counter, Jesse now cradling the empty glass and Mother M holding her hand up in a gesture of mock defeat, giving a wry smile.
JESSE: So, you gonna tell me?
MOTHER M: *Sigh* Yeah okay, I’ll give you the directions.
PAGE 22, PANEL 3
SPLASH: In the foreground is a full shot of Jeremiah from behind. He’s stood at the road end of an overgrown drive, broken fences either side of it, leading up to an old wooden house with a large elevated porch and steps. It’s an old place, full of neglect, broken boards, cobwebs, with creeping ivy all over its façade. Beyond it the morning sky is struck through with splashes of pewter.
CAPTION: “Not sure he’s gonna be in the mood for visitors though.”

Banana Palace - Dana Levin
I want you to know how it felt to hold it, deep in the well of my eye. You, future person: star of one of my complicated dooms —  This one’s called Back to the Dark. Scene 1: Death stampedes through the server-cities. Somehow we all end up living in caves, foraging in civic ruin. Banana Palace — the last of the last of my kind who can read breathes it hot into your doom-rimed ear. She’s a dowser of spine-broken books and loose paper the rest of your famishing band thinks mad.  
*
Mine was the era of spending your time in town squares made out of air. You invented a face and moved it around, visited briefly with other faces. Thus we streamed down lit screens sharing pictures of animals looking ridiculous —  trading portals to shoes, love, songs, news, somebody’s latest rabid cause: bosses, gluten, bacon, God —  Information about information was the pollen we deposited —  while in the real fields bees starved. Into this noise sailed Banana Palace.
*
It was a mother ship of gold. Shining out between happy bday katie! and a photo of someone’s broken toe —  Like luminous pillows cocked on a hinge, like a house with a heavy lid, a round house of platelets and honey —  It was open, like a box that holds a ring. And inside, where the ring would be:  * I think about you a lot, future person. How you will need all the books that were ever read when the screens and wires go dumb. Whatever you haven’t used for kindling or bedding. Whatever made it through the fuckcluster of bombs we launched accidentally, at the end of the era of feeling like no one was doing a thing about our complicated dooms —  Helpless and braced we sat in dark spaces submerged in pools of projected images, trying to disappear into light —  Light! There was so much light! It was hard to sleep.  *
Anyway. Banana Palace. Even now when I say it, cymbals shiver out in spheres. It starts to turn its yellow gears and opens like a clam. Revealing a fetal curl on its temple floor, bagged and sleeping —  a white cocoon under lit strings that stretch from floor to ceiling —  a harp made of glass incubating a covered
*
pearl —  We broke the world you’re living in, future person. Maybe that was always our end: to break the jungles to get at the sugar, leave behind a waste of cane —  There came a time I couldn’t look at trees without feeling elegiac — as if nature were already over, if you know what I mean. It was the most glorious thing I had ever seen. Cross-section of a banana under a microscope the caption read. I hunched around my little screen sharing a fruit no one could eat.
