Album Review: 'Every Room' - Frames
Imagine if Hilary Duff had gone emo during the halcyon days of Lizzie McGuire.
‘Why Not’ would probably have a chugging breakdown. ‘So Yesterday’ would become a savage ode to hating your hometown, while ‘coming Clean’ would go on to become a Midwestern breakup classic, complete with afive-minute guitar solo.
It’s how Know Hope Records describes the sound of Frames, the Virginia-based band fronted by Sarah Phung since 2019 - before Olivia Rodrigo, Meet Me @ The Altar and MGK led the pop punk revival, before the world went to complete shit.
Originally a solo act, Frames have since expanded into a four-piece, with Carter Wahl on guitar, Blake Layman on bass and Alex Wilson on drums. They work wonderfully in tandem with Phung, helping to expand on the hazy nostalgia of her 2019 EP Cursed on Frames' full-length debut, Every Room, a record for those who miss ‘early aughts culture, watching music videos after school or on Yahoo, wearing skinny jeans and canvas shoes without socks, Hilary Duff, kids who dreamed of playing Warped Tour, etc,’
Like any good emo or pop punk record, there’s bittersweet longing and raw confessional lyrics, the kind ripped straight from the pages of a worn-out journal.
Opener ‘Lightweight’ is just that, floating atop a steady winding backbeat as Phung finds herself gripped by romantic obsession. ‘Brewery,’ in stark contrast, sees a relationship come to an amicable end, a light and breezy track reminiscent ofMichelle Branch onThe Spirit Room (which celebrated its 20th anniversary not too long ago).
‘Cold Hard Criminal’ recalls early Paramore right down to the raspy vocals and steely determination as the singer/guitarist plots her escape from a toxic relationship and/or her hometown (as is emo tradition). Recent single ‘Tabletop’ aches withurgencyas the singer/vocalist wonders why ‘you said all the things that you said, with a heavy heart or an empty chest.’
Standout‘Ryan’ is a brooding, hopeless ode to The OC character of the same name, a bold choice on Phung’s part since most emo girls for the nerdy, Death Cab for Cutie-lovin' Seth Cohen.But she could be the one to change him -It’s not your fault you came from a life/So rough that it made you sharp as a knife/But you didn’t have to be so full of rage/And yet, I still would succumb to your blade – even if the relationship is, y’know, parasocial at best...
‘Two Phones,’ meanwhile, is deceptively breezy as Phung admits ‘’I’m done being a stranger to myself/Maybe I’ll start reaching out for help.’ Her anxieties roll over into the harrowing ‘Body Kicks,’ which is partly based on Phung’s time working as a stripper, feeling numb to the shiny floors, the cold, hard gazes of club patrons, and the sickly glow of neon as she dances.
The record soon ends with the wintry ache of ‘This Year,’ bookending ‘Last Year’ from the Cursed EP.
Featuring Can’t Swim’s Chris LoPorto, Phung channels Let Go-era Avril as the song’s melody restlessly unravels round her before reaching a glorious crescendo. It also contains one of the most beautifully devastating lines on the record (‘You’re sticking needles in a cactus, I’m picking thorns out of my skin’), encapsulating allits fear, confusion and loneliness.
Phung recently told Ones to Watch that she misses the days of Ashlee Simpson, Paramore, Hey Monday and Avril Lavigne. So do I, so very, very much.
Every Room is an unapologetic love letter to 2000s emo and post-rock, as well as a seamless body of work, with elements of folk pop and shoegaze helping to shape its sprawling intimacy.
But while there’s plenty of youthful angst, this isn't a record about heartbreak. Rather, it’s a restless coming of age, at times hopeful and even starry-eyed. Yet Phung throws herself willingly into the emotional chaos in order to try and make sense of it, no matter how much it hurts.
‘I hope that listeners embrace the confusion and frustration that I delve into with my songs,’ Phung told Atwood Magazine, ‘and learn to sit through the discomfort and realize that that’s the only way through to the other side.’
No doubt they will...
- Bianca B.

On bodies and time
There is a 50-60 year gap between my age and those with whom I spend my time at Chateau Lescure. My hosts are 85 and 68 years old respectively, and our gatherings with their friends balance the median between them to a ripe 75.
I do not mind the valley of time between us; in fact, I cherish it. I do not know what to attribute to their voracity for life (magic herb? Everlasting spring at the base of a tree?), but my hosts and their friends seem to command time backwards. They swim endlessly in the lake, bike at breakneck speed down mountains, and canoe standing up. It is as if their golden years never knew how to dull.
Michel enjoys rediscovering medieval trails and organizing group hikes along them. On these hikes, I find myself walking in tandem with another person for stretches of time that invite personal questions: I ask fellow hikers about the first thud of falling in love. What it was like when they knew which career made their heart flutter. How they experienced war. What it was like to hold their first grandchild.
Their eyes always search. Perhaps it takes time to sift through years and years of living. I imagine there is a space in our minds which store the moments worth passing on to prying 20-something year olds. When asked, people usually have something beautiful to share.
I love to hear how a person filled the time between the benchmarks of growing older - those liminal stretches of insignificance that comprise a lifetime. I have hiked alongside a retired French professor at Oxford, an economic analyst for the World Bank, and a restorer of historic wallpaper. I have been the listening ear to a woman who described how Wuthering Heights flung her medical degree offcourse for a career in English literature. At a dinner party, I sat beside a mathematics professor at the University of Chicago who found God in the lines of an equation.
Among the older generations I meet, there is an inescapable awareness of time's steady ticking. One Sunday, we sit around the dinner table with some of my host's friends. Although the meal brims with life and laughter, we dine with arthitis, deafness, memory loss, a brain tumor, and cancer. We treat one another with care as we pass the wine, advice, and braised chicken around the table. We include and we adjust according to each person's ability. This is what must be done for us all to have a seat at the table.
Living here has been an exercise in what I can anticipate about aging and what I cannot. There are the facets of time's passage that are obvious: the paths that each smile will etch around my mouth and eyes, each frown and moment of confusion stored between my eyebrows in sweeping valleys. Freckles will dot my shoulders like constellations. Perhaps stretch marks from motherhood will reach across my belly, hoping to connect to the other side.
It's not that I am afraid of my body's evolution.
I am afraid of forgetting the familiar flight of my fingers on a piano. To laugh with my sister. To walk miles and miles without direction. To lift a child.
Perhaps, one day, my memories will evaporate. I think I am afraid of that most.
Among my elderly friends, I feel my youth more acutely. I appreciate the flexibility of my body, the ease of my tendons, knees, and the dexterity of my fingers unhindered by pain and arthritis. I hear what they can no longer: the telephone ringing inside while we are in the garden, the calls for the other spouse from one side of the house to the other. I remind them of their daily pills at breakfast and carry our basket at the farmer's market, heavy with future meals.
I notice small hills forming at the peaks of my arms, straining from lifting buckets of water each morning and afternoon to sheep and chickens. I now fly up the winding stairs of the tower which once left me panting. I feel happy in my skin.
Concurrently, I am discovering how fragile bodies are: my arms, scratched each evening from wading into rose thorns. The tension stored in my back from hunching over weeds. The nettles which send my skin on fire at the briefest touch.
I am learning about the strengths, flexibility, and fragility of my mind, as well. I notice how my mental wellbeing changes with the influx of fresh vegetables, sunshine, and movement. I observe the simultaneous loneliness of solo travel as well as the need for isolation and learning how to balance the two. I test the limits of my anxiety and forgive myself if the anxiety wins out.
A lot of uninterrupted time passes in my mind here, which is not always a peaceful place to rest. I frequently retreat to the nearby creek to read or skip stones. Sometimes, I sit by a window at the top of the tower and simply hide.
Sophie and Michel's 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Ellen, arrived a few days ago. Knowing the fragility of my own body makes me aware of hers; perhaps she, too, may wander into nettles and graze rose thorns.
She seems fearless, however; while cautious at first, she now wraps her arms around my legs in a tight hug. We even water the garden together and take turns counting the seconds that it takes to quench the thirst of a stalk of corn.
One, deux, three, quatre, five...
After spending so much time with people a century older than her, her mind's plasticity charms me. The constant changeability of the world enchants her: the flickering of my hands over my face reveals a syncopated raising and lowering of my mouth's corners. Smile, frown, smile, frown. Cue Ellen's ecstatic giggling.
Like Ellen, the world's changeability delights me, too. The beans I planted weeks ago now waver in green, young stems. The rose buds I pruned now blossom and lettuce falls open in concentric circles.
I am filling time here with moments I hope my eyes will search for when I am older, distilled into wisdom to pass onto a curious 20-something year old. Maybe I will be able to recollect the taste of sugar cookies with electrifying sherbert made from the red currants I collected. The nightly task of herding the chickens to their coop to sleep. The solo ten-mile hike when I slurped apricots in the grass overlooking volcanic mountains. The way Ellen spins when I play piano for her and the taste of fresh bread at breakfast. I'll fix these memories in the space I think they are stored and hope that time lets me fall in love with them again.

Runway Stunts, Condoms, Tom Ford Throwbacks: Inside Milan Fashion WeekAnother week of Milan shows have wrapped, where we saw the sophomore runway outings of Maximilian Davis at Ferragamo, Rhuigi Villaseñor at Bally, Marco de Vincenzo at Etro and Filippo Grazioli at Missoni, each designer crystalizing their vision for their respective heritage houses. Gucci's show was designed by an in-house team as we await the new designer's debut in September. And Versace won't show until March in Los Angeles just before the Oscars. Below, a recap of the biggest standouts of Milan Fashion Week.Avavav Had Clothes Falling Apart on the RunwayDesigner Beate Karlsson has been using her Avavav shows as commentary on fashion and its relationship with wealth, fakeness and failure. After last season's stunt, where models stumbled and fell down the runway on purpose, her sophomore Milan runway outing has the clothes literally tearing and coming apart the model's body as a commentary on fashion's seriousness and ideas around bad quality and shame."It’s a way of showing authenticity and strength," Karlsson says. "I wanted to create a moment of embarrassment and shame to see if it can coexist with, or even generate luxury."BTS' RM Makes Surprise Front Row Cameo at Bottega VenetaBTS' leader RM made a surprise front row appearance at the Bottega Veneta show, sitting next to Kelela in an understated look from the brand's Spring 2023 show. Could he be the Italian label's next brand ambassador from the K-pop group as its members continue to go solo? (Dior, Louis Vuitton and Valentino have each signed on Jimin, J-Hope and Suga, respectively.) Models Go Crowd-Surfing at SunneiSunnei sure loves a good ol' fashion stunt. After having twins walk its last show (where one sibling came out from the audience with the other emerging from backstage), the brand had it models (who were its employees) walk an elevated platform runway, turn their back and drop into the audience concert-style as they crowd-surfed away. The show notes said of the performance: "Each season, the aim is to forge an interaction between [Sunnei designers] Loris Messina and Simone Rizzo, guests, models and location."Gucci Brought Back Those Tom Ford-Era Horsebit BagsWith its new creative director not presenting her first collection until September, Gucci's Fall 2023 was entrusted to their in-house studio team. This season they sent out looks inspired by several chapters of the brand's history, with plenty of Tom Ford-isms and a few of Alessandro Michele's codes mixed in between. Speaking of Tom Ford, the horsebit handbags he introduced for the brand in 2003 got the oversized update here in bold colors with curvy corners. Some styles also come with built-in gloves for your fingers.GCDS Made Shows That Look Like ClawsWhile a lot of the attention at the GCDS show was directed at VIPs like Dua Lipa (and Bella Thorne, and Dixie D'Amelio, and Aron Piper), the accessories Guiliano Calza showed on the runway deserved just as much buzz. There were metallic chrome boots, bags with telephone-shaped handles and cat-shaped crystal balls. But the standouts by far were the heel-less platform shoes, including one in the shape of a paw with claws sticking out. "The collection relies on the face-off of the sweet and the darkly seductive, with accessories blowing the claws of domestic felines to human proportions, turning them into sensual weapons," the show notes said of the shows. Purr!Diesel Teamed Up With Durex CondomsThe show invite to Diesel's Fall 2023 show featured a co-branded condom with Durex, hinting at a possible collab to come, and sure enough, the set featured a giant pile of boxed condoms in the middle of the space — 200,000 to be exact. (Some of the looks on the runway also featured Durex logos.)The brand said an additional 300,000 Durex condoms would be handed out for free in April in Diesel stores globally. “Sex positivity is something amazingm" Dieswel's Glenn Martens said. "We like to play at Diesel, and we are serious about it. Have fun, respect each other, be safe. For Sucsexful Living!” Tomo Koizumi Made His Milan Fashion Week DebutJapanese wunderkind Tomo Koizumi, known for his exaggerated tulle confections, made his Milan Fashion Week debut with a collection that showed off his knack for manipulating tulle into colorful, couture gowns. Koizumi is the latest emerging designer to show at Milan thanks to Dolce & Gabbana's program, following past names like Miss Sohee and Matty Bovan. He even used some of the brand's fabrics from past Alta Moda collections and reworked them into his signature tulle looks. https://www.papermag.com/milan-fashion-week-fall-2023-2659472848.html

La top ten dei 10 romance più romantici che ho mai letto
San Valentino è appena passato ed eccomi a voi con una nuova top ten romance, ispirata proprio da questa festività. Stavolta vi elenco 10 romance che secondo me sono estremamente romantici.
Si tratta di un’opinione del tutto soggettiva naturalmente e ho escluso volutamente dall’elenco alcuni romance che vi ho già segnalato e suggerito in altre liste. Inoltre quando dico più romantici intendo dei romance storici estremamete dolci o estremamente struggenti. Pure troppo, a mio avviso. Ma tenete conto che io non amo i romanzi che ti fanno stare male da tanto soffri per i personaggi o che non ti danno un completo lieto fine, perciò tranquilli, quelli in elenco sono comunque romanzi che possono piacere a tutti. Solo estremamente romantici per come li vedo io.
1. Summer Breeze, di Catherine Anderson (inedito in italiano)
https://amzn.to/3pqYwyC
1889. Rachel Hollister non ha messo piede fuori di casa, un ranch in mezzo alle prateria, da ben 5 anni. Vive tra l’altro non nell’intera casa ma solo in una stanza e mezza e tiene barricato tutto il resto. Il terrore l’attanaglia al solo pensiero di uscire. Ma non è sempre stata così, tutto ebbe inizio cinque anni prima quando tutti i suoi famigliari durante un pic nic furono uccisi a colpi di pistola da un misterioso omicida posto su un rilievo. Uno ad uno caddero davanti ai suoi occhi ma la pallottola destinata a lei si limitò a sfiorarla e farla svenire. Il colpevole dovette crederla morta e Rachel sopravvisse, ma da allora non è più uscita di casa. Sopravvive grazie ad un anziano ranchero che lavorava con i suoi e che le porta cibo e vende i suoi dolci, tramite una fessura tra le assi che barrano le porte. Poi però un giorno lui non viene al loro solito appuntamento settimanale. E’ stato ferito e al suo posto si presenta il giovane ranchero, un forestiero, che lo ha trovato e curato. Rachel dovrà superare le sue paure e fidarsi di lui se viole sopravvivere…. anche perchè chi ha ucciso la sua famiglia la tiene d’occhio e aspetta solo che lei esca per finire la partita.
La mia opinione: questo in realtà è uno dei romance che preferisco, ma in effetti ha una trama piuttosto pesante, perchè avere una storia d’amore con un’agorafobica è senza dubbio problematico. Il protaginosta maschile impiega quasi mezzo libro solo a convincerla a fidarsi di lui e farlo entrare nel suo regno e ci riesce in gran parte grazie al suo cane. Ho veramente ammirato la sua pazienza, il coraggio di Rachel e anche i suoi limiti che in fondo sono credibili. Un romanzo interessante, romantico ma anche pieno d’azione e introspezione, molto intimo con i due nostri eroi chiusi in casa all’oscuro di chi voglia uccidere Rachel. E soprattutto contiene una stupenda lettera d’amore.
2. Caro nemico (My Dearest Enemy) di Connie Brockway
https://amzn.to/3djD24o
Tra di loro c'erano troppe cose: una proprietà che entrambi volevano ed un destino che non potevano condividere.Avery Thorne ha un unico desiderio: ereditare al più presto Mill House, la proprietà dello zio Horatio. Ma i suoi sogni vengono infranti dalla lettura del testamento: per cinque anni la tenuta sarà affidata a Lilian Bede, un'intraprendente suffragetta, che la erediterà definitivamente se saprà dimostrare di essere una buona amministratrice.La prima reazione di Avery è di rancore e di folle vendetta, ma qualcosa gli farà cambiare idea…
La mia opinione: anche questo è un gran bel libro in generale e molto divertente anche, forse non andrebbe in questa lista poichè non è certo romanticissimo di per sè, ma io trovo terribilmente romantici gli scambi epistolari, in generali, e questo libro si basa proprio su uno scambio epistolare tra due cosiddtti nemici. Perciò per me è molto romantico.
3. Un gioiello raro ( A precious jewel) di Mary Balogh
https://amzn.to/3qpAi96
Priscilla Wentworth è una gentildonna caduta in miseria e costretta dalle circostanze a prostituirsi in un bordello. Sir Gerald Stapleton è stato tradito dalle donne più importanti della sua vita e ora cerca solo il piacere fisico. Quando incontra Priss, si chiede come possa essere successo che un gioiello di grazia, bellezza ed eleganza come lei sia divenuta cortigiana. Nonostante il proponimento di non lasciarsi più coinvolgere in una relazione di cuore, quando lei ha bisogno di protezione Gerald la prende come amante fissa. Ne nasce un sentimento tanto forte quanto socialmente censurabile, per un amore che sembra non avere futuro...
La mia opinione: e qui cominciamo a struggerci siete avvertiti. Lei è una prostituita, lui è...mentalmente lento...Nè l’uno nè l’altro si ritengono degni di essere amati. State pronti a commuovervi, ma in modo composto.
4. Abbandonarsi al desiderio (The Lover) di Robin Schone
https://amzn.to/3apDa0h
Anne Aimes è una zitella di trentasei anni che, dopo essersi occupata dei genitori anziani e malati, si è ritrovata sola. Decisa a scoprire i piaceri che ha sempre negato, si rivolge a Michel des Anges, un gigolò di origine francese noto per le sue doti e la sua abilità. L’incontro tra i due avviene all’interno di un locale ambiguo dove uomini e donne si danno appuntamento per relazioni clandestine. Un luogo insolito per una donna come Anne, molto inibita e convinta di essere poco attraente. Ma anche Michel non è più lo stesso, sfigurato da un incendio, da anni non ha più avuto clienti né rapporti intimi con l’altro sesso, per timore di essere rifiutato. Ma nell’animo di entrambi arde un desiderio di rivalsa pronto a incendiare con coraggio e passione i loro cuori…
La mia opinione: intanto premetto che questo è un romance storico erotico, perciò se non amate le scene d’amore grafiche e dettagliate lasciatelo perdere. Se non amate protagonisti maschili tormentati, lasciatelo perdere. Perchè qui più che tormentato Michel è prioprio rovinato, è frutto di ciò che ha subito. E parlo di prima dell’incendio, poi dopo quello lasciamo stare, perciò qui ci si strugge parecchio. Ad alti livelli. Però è anche estremamente umano e carnale come libro. Molto verace.
5. Amare un libertino (When He Was Wicked) di Julia Quinn
https://amzn.to/3pr0m2u
Quando Michael Stirling, il più audace libertino di Londra, incontra Francesca Bridgerton è amore a prima vista. Un amore non ricambiato: Francesca sta per sposare suo cugino John.E anche se un evento improvviso libera Francesca da qualunque vincolo, Michael non osa confessarle il proprio amore e per dimenticarla parte per l’India. Ma al suo rientro, inaspettatamente, Francesca gli chiede consiglio per trovare un buon marito: potrà Michael sopportare di gettarla tra le braccia di un altro?
La mia opinione: non il mio preferito della serie #Bridgerton, ma sicuramente tra i miei preferiti, e sicuramente per me il più romantico, perchè lui la ama in silenzio da anni, e c’è un lungo e duraturo scambio epistolare, e come vi dicevo, io trovo le letttere terribilmente romantiche. Qui lo struggimento c’è, ma a livelli normali e poi alla fine ripaga.
6. Adorabile sconosciuto (The Perfect Stranger) di Anne Gracie
https://amzn.to/3b9nf5i
Faith Merridew ha abbandonato la famiglia e l’Inghilterra per un uomo che le ha giurato amore eterno. Una volta in Francia, però, scopre di essere stata ingannata. Con il cuore a pezzi, incontra Nicholas Blacklock, giovane reduce di Waterloo. Disposto a salvarle la reputazione, Nicholas le propone un matrimonio bianco, seguito dal suo immediato rientro a Londra. Solo che Faith ora sente di appartenere davvero a quest’uomo tanto generoso, ma anche misterioso. Riuscirà a fare breccia nel suo cuore?
La mia opinione: Cosa c’è di più romantico che innamorarsi un bellimbusto che ti promette per sempre e poi dopo che tu hai lasciato tutto per lui ti molla? No, ditemelo. Questa trama è la base di non so quanti fiilm rosa. In più poi abbiamo un bel tenebroso che le vuole salvare la reputazione, di cui lei s’innamoa, ma lui nasconde un oscuro segreto. Questo è proprio il classico romance che ti fa dire, ma sta poverina mai una gioia? Tutte a lei? Struggimento a go go.
7. Dietro la maschera (Tapestry) di Karen Ranney
https://amzn.to/2ZjILin
Per lady Laura esiste un solo uomo al mondo: Dixon Alexander Weston, conte di Cardiff. Alex ha fatto ritorno dalla battaglia navale di Quiberon col volto gravemente sfigurato e ora vive rinchiuso nella sua dimora di Heddon Hall. Dopo averlo atteso per quattro anni, Laura Ashcott Blake, vicina di casa del conte, decide di intrufolarsi nel suo cuore facendosi assumere come domestica. Tra i due la passione scoppia impetuosa e travolgente. Alex all’inizio non riconosce in lei la ragazzina che tanto lo adorava, ma non appena scopre la verità, subito si celebrano le nozze. Dopo un anno di felicità assoluta, però, riuscirà il loro amore a superare un’altra guerra?
La mia opinione: altra classica trama struggente. Lui torna dalla guerra sfigurato e provato sia fisicamnte che mentalmente, lei lo ha aspettato per anni fedele e innamorata e lui manco la riconosce. Ma lei imperterrita nonostante lui non sia più come prima, lo vuole amare lo vuole curare, a forza di provarci riesce ad entrare a far prate della sua vita, la felicità sembra a portata di mano, ed ecco una nuova mazzata in arrivo. Per la serie mai una gioia anche qui.
8. Giorni di gloria (Morning Glory) di LaVyrle Spencer
https://amzn.to/2Zsy5hb
Elly, vedova con due figli e in attesa di un terzo, è una donna forte e coraggiosa, ma tutti la considerano pazza a causa della sua ritrosia, conseguenza di una terribile infanzia. Figlia illegittima, è stata tenuta dai nonni, fanatici religiosi, rinchiusa in casa per anni e anni. Will, attraente, onesto, intelligente e gran lavoratore, ha avuto una vita difficile. A Whitney, una cittadina della Georgia, spera di gettarsi alle spalle il passato. E' rimasto orfano piccolissimo ed è convinto che nessuno potrà mai amarlo davvero. Un uomo e una donna, con i quali la vita non è stata generosa, portano con sé ricordi angosciosi, timori e insicurezze che sembrano offuscare la serenità della loro unione. L'amore che nutrono l'uno per l'altro, però, è talmente forte che li aiuterà a superare ogni difficoltà.
La mia opinione: questo è un poco struggente per il passato dei protagonisti, ma poi è semplicemente romantico (ma con una vena malinconica) perchè non puoi non fare il tifo per loro. Certo non è la trama più innovativa di questo mondo. Avrò letto almeno dieci romance simili ambientati nell’America di fine 1800, ma questo è scritto molto ma molto bene.
9. The shadow and the star (inedito in italiano) Laura Kinsale
Kinsale alterna qui due storie correlate. Una, ambientata alle Hawaii, segue le vicende del giovane Samuel Gerard, la cui infanzia è stata un incubo, ma poi quando trova una casa con la benevola Lady Ashland, diventa il protetto dell'enigmatico maggiordomo giapponese Dojun, che lo allena nelle arti marziali e nell’autodisciplina. La seconda storia, è invece ambientata nella Londra del 1880, dove la povera ma rispettabile Leda Etoile scopre che Samuel, ora adulto e straordinariamente bello, è dietro una sconcertante serie di furti. Disoccupata e senza fondi, Leda accetta un posto come segretaria di Samuel e soccombe gradualmente al suo fascino. Samuel pensa di non avere alcun interesse per Leda, e pensa anche che l'addestramento di Dojun fosse disinteressato. Ma ha torto su entrambi i fronti.
La mia opinione: trama mollto atipica che apprezzo, eroe che ha sofferto tanto ed è cinicamente il frutto del dolore che ha passato, e oltre a questo quando crede di poter prevalere sugli altri e vendicarsi, scopre di essere solo una pedina in mano altrui e quindi ancora una vittima in realtà. Per questo gli si può perdonare il male che lui fa agli ma solo in parte. Questo forse non è un romanzo per tutti, ma resta estremamente interessante e struggente, ma di uno struggimento che lascia un poco di amaro in bocca.
10. The Bridal Veil (inedito in italiano) di Alexis Harrington
Emily Cannon non è la sposa a cui Luck Becker aveva scritto, ma la sorella di mediocre bellezza e troppo alta. Quando sua sorella è morta e Emily è rimasta sola al mondo, in un raro momento di impulsività ha deciso di prendere il suo posto come sposa per corrispondenza. Certo non è bella come lei, ma in fondo il futuro sposo non aveva mai visto la sua interlocutrice e poi se non possiede la bellezza, Emily ha molte altre capacità, e dopo una vita passata con genitori che le hanno sempre detto che non era bella o speciale, non è che non si aspetti molto. Eppure ci rimane comunque male quando Luck la vede e subito la rifiuta. Luck però non può fare lo schizzinoso, ha bisogno di una madre per sua figlia, e accetta di sposare Emily, che per di più dopo il viaggio non ha più un soldo. Ma mette subito in chiaro che lei sarà una governante non sua moglie sul serio. Emily china la testa, ci è abituata e accetta. Nel suo baule ha l'abito da sposa e il velo di sua sorella, ma nopn li indossa per la cerimonia, dopotutto non è un vero matrimonio, e ripone anche quel sogno di un matrimonio in bianco, in un cassetto. Come se non bataase quello che trova a casa di Luck è un vero disastro. Sua figlia è una piccola selvaggia aizzata dalla suocera di Luck che ha trasformato la casa in un santuario dedicato alla figlia morta. Una famiglia veramente disastrata. E sarà un duro lavoro per Emily cercare di rinire questo nucleo famigliare distrutto da vecchi rancori e segreti mai rivelati.
La mia opinione: qui invece ci si strugge per la povera protagonista che subisce da una vita, e viene trattata a pesci in faccia pure dall’uomo che più ha bisogno di lei. Non si può non amarla nei momenti in cui dimostra un poco di spina dorsale, e quando finalmente lui inizia a trattarla bene. Ma io non perdono, e ho sempre un po’ odiato questo personaggio maschile, nonostante sia il risultato di un passato difficile questo non lo scusa, visto che pure lei con tutto ciò che ha subito sarebbe giustificata se fosse scontrosa e cinica, ma non lo è. Comunque quando alla fine Emily potrà usare il prezioso velo da sposa della sua antenata realizando tutti i suoi sogni come merita ci si sente ripagati. O quasi.

Series de Marvel
WandaVision
Una de las series más cercanas a estrenarse, presentó un nuevo tráiler y reiteró que llegará a Disney Plus el próximo 15 de enero. Contará con 6 episodios y estará protagonizada por Elizabeth Olsen como la Bruja Escarlata y Paul Bettany regresando a su papel como Vision.
Falcon and the Winter Soldier
La esperada serie que contará la historia de la sucesión del Capitán América desde la perspectiva de Bucky Burnes el «Soldado del Invierno» y el elegido como sucesor por el mismo Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, mejor conocido como Falcon, anunció su estreno para el 19 de marzo a través de Disney Plus.
Además, Marvel Studios presentó el primer avance oficial de la serie, que te dejamos a continuación:
Loki
Una de las series más esperadas, anunció que llegaría a Disney Plus en mayo de 2021, aunque no especificó el día de salida. Junto con esto, presentó su primer tráiler oficial, donde podemos ver nuevamente a Tom Hiddleston como Loki, además de un primer vistazo a Owen Wilson como un personaje aún desconocido.
El tráiler también nos confirma que la serie se centrará en las aventuras del villano a través del tiempo luego de escapar con el Teseracto en Avengers: Endgame, siendo perseguido y posiblemente apresado por la Time Variance Authority.
What If…?
La primera apuesta animada centrada en las versiones alternativas de distintos personajes del UCM anunció su llegada para 2021, posiblemente a mitad de año. Además, presentó un nuevo avance exclusivo.
Ms. Marvel
El 30 de septiembre pasado se supo que Iman Vellani sería la encargada de interpretar a Kamala Khan en la serie de la joven heroína: Ms. Marvel.
Ahora, Disney confirmó que la serie llegará a su plataforma de streaming a finales del 2021 y presentó un primer vistazo de la producción.
Hawkeye
Una de las series con más rumores, sobre todo acerca de quién interpretaría a Kate Bishop, la arquera que tomará el manto del Hawkeye de Jeremy Renner. Finalmente, Disney confirmó que será Hailee Steinfeld la que acompañará a Renner en esta serie.
No se dieron fechas para su llegada a Disney Plus, pero se dieron más detalles sobre el elenco, que constará de:
Vera Farmiga como Eleanor Bishop, madre de Kate.
Fra Free como Kazi.
Tony Dalton como Jack Duquesne.
Alaqua Cox como Maya Lopez (Echo).
She-Hulk
¡Por fin tenemos confirmación de quién interpretará a la abogada Jennifer Walters! Se trata de Tatiana Maslany, que protagonizará la serie de She-Hulk.
Además, se anunció que el Hulk de Mark Ruffalo aparecerá en la serie y que Abomination, el villano interpretado por Tim Roth en The Incredible Hulk, también hará su aparición.
De momento no se han entregado fechas de cuándo llegará la serie a Disney Plus.
Moon Knight
Ya era sabido que Marvel Studios se encontraba desarrollando una serie del enigmático personaje. Sin embargo, el «anuncio» reciente llegó como sorpresa para todos quienes esperaban una confirmación oficial de Oscar Isaac como Moon Knight (considerando que en octubre pasado se reportó que estaba en conversaciones para el papel).
Desde Disney no hubo mención al respecto, por lo que las negociaciones pueden haber resultado infructuosas y quizás Marvel aún se encuentre en la búsqueda del actor que interprete a Marc Spector.
Secret Invasion
Uno de los anuncios más interesantes fue la revelación de que la serie anunciada el pasado 25 de septiembre con Nick Fury a la cabeza se llamará Secret Invasion.
El nombre corresponde originalmente a un evento de los cómics centrado en la invasión Skrull, donde la identidad de muchos superhéroes icónicos había sido suplantada en secreto.
Disney confirmó que, junto con la presencia de Samuel L. Jackson, se sumaría Ben Mendelsohn, que interpretó al Skrull Talos en Capitana Marvel, por lo que la idea de que se trate de un evento similar al de los cómics es bastante probable.
La serie aún no tiene fecha de estreno.
Ironheart
Otra de las grandes sorpresas de la noche fue Ironheart, la serie que seguirá los pasos de Riri Williams, una inventora y genio que inspirada en Tony Stark crea lo que según Disney es «una de los supertrajes más avanzados desde Iron Man«.
Por ahora solo se sabe que será protagonizada por Dominique Thorne y que llegará a Disney Plus, aún sin fecha estimada.
Armor Wars
Una de las últimas sorpresas en el apartado de series es Armor Wars, que estará protagonizada por Don Cheadle como James Rhodes/War Machine y tratará, según Disney, de uno de los peores miedos de Tony Stark: ¿Qué pasaría si su tecnología cae en las manos equivocadas?
Llegará a Disney Plus en una fecha aún por confirmar.
I Am Groot
Finalmente, el último anuncio de Disney y Marvel Studios se trata de I Am Groot, protagonizada por el pequeño árbol querido por los fans del UCM. Se tratará de una serie de cortos donde Groot interactuará con nuevos e inusuales personajes.
Aún no hay fecha para su llegada a Disney Plus.
Películas
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Disney anunció que Shang-Chi finalizó su producción y recordó su estreno en cines para el 9 de julio de 2021. Además, presentó a parte de su elenco, que te dejamos a continuación:
Elenco de Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
De la esperada secuela de Doctor Strange se nos confirmó el estreno para el 25 de marzo de 2022, además de nueva información sobre el elenco y su importancia en el futuro del UCM.
Junto con el evidente regreso de Benedict Cumberbatch como Doctor Strange, se destacó la presencia de la Bruja Escarlata y la introducción de América Chávez al UCM.
El elenco anunciado fue el siguiente:
Elizabeth Olsen como la Bruja Escarlata
Benedict Wong como Wong
Rachel McAdams como la Dra. Christine Palmer.
Chiwetel Ejiofor como Mordo
Xochitl Gomez como América Chávez
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness será una película con tintes de horror dirigida por Sam Raimi y se ha confirmado que tendrá conexión con WandaVision y con la tercera entrega de Spider-Man (reafirmando los rumores sobre el Spider-Verso).
Thor: Love and Thunder
La película que dirigirá Taika Waititi sólo contó con la confirmación de que Christian Bale efectivamente será el villano Gorr the God Butcher y que su estreno será en cines el 6 de mayo de 2022.
Black Panther 2
Marvel Studios confirmó que Ryan Coogler volverá a dirigir y escribir la secuela de Black Panther, que se estrenará el 8 de julio de 2022.
Más importante aún, se anunció que para honrar el legado de Chadwick Boseman, que falleció el 28 de agosto de este año, no se hará un recast al personaje y en cambio la secuela expandirá el mundo de Wakanda y los personajes introducidos en la primera película.
Captain Marvel 2
Se confirmó su estreno para el 11 de noviembre de 2022 con Brie Larson volviendo a su papel protagónico. Además, se reveló que Iman Vellani estará presente como Ms. Marvel junto a Teyonah Parris, que interpretará a Monica Rambeau en WandaVision.
Ant-Man and the Wasp
Se confirmó que la tercera película de la saga protagonizada por Paul Rudd se llamará Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania y también será dirigida por Peyton Reed. Junto con lo anterior, se anunció la participación del elenco principal: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas y Michelle Pfeiffer.
Sin embargo, se reveló que Emma Fuhrmann, la actriz de Cassie Lang en Avengers: Endgame, no volvería a interpretar el papel y sería reemplazada por Kathryn Newton.
Una de las revelaciones más impactantes, no obstante, es la participación de Jonathan Majors como Kang el Conquistador, villano que se ha rumoreado será el próximo enemigo a escala de «Thanos» para el UCM.
No hay una fecha de estreno hasta ahora.
4 Fantásticos
Aunque pequeño, el anuncio realizado sobre el nuevo reboot de la franquicia dividió a los fans, al confirmar que Jon Watts (director de la trilogía de Spider-Man protagonizada por Tom Holland) será el encargado de dirigir la película.
Un especial festivo y pistas de lo que se viene
Además de las novedades en series y películas, se anunció un especial para celebrar las fiestas (probablemente enfocado en Navidad) que involucrará a los Guardianes de la Galaxia.
Dicho especial estará escrito y dirigido por James Gunn y llegará a Disney Plus en 2022, posiblemente para hacer más amena la espera a Guardianes de la Galaxia Vol.3.
Además de todos los anuncios, durante la presentación se hicieron comentarios interesantes. El más destacable de todos, durante el anuncio de She-Hulk, fue que «no sería la única abogada que veríamos llegar al UCM«.
Esto podría hacer alusión directamente con Matt Murdock, mejor conocido como Daredevil, del cual Marvel Studios y Disney recuperaron los derechos recientemente. Por lo tanto, es posible que pronto sepamos más del futuro del héroe ciego de Hell’s Kitchen y de su incorporación al UCM (que ya se rumorea será en Spider-Man 3).

Wrestler of the Year 2017 | Lufisto
Anytime you are thinking of a group of women who had a great year in the world of independent wrestling if Lufisto doesn’t come to mind, you are doing it wrong. She has been wrestling for 20 years and impresses crowds every time she steps into a ring.
2017 started with a bang as Lufisto defeated Mercedes Martinez and Allysin Kay in a triple threat match on Shine 40 to win the vacant Shine Championship. Shine 40 was supposed to have Lufisto challenging then-champion Ivelisse. However, when Ivelisse was forced to vacate the title, the main event was changed to the triple threat. Lufisto has defended the championship on a number of occasions at Shine against Ivelisse, Leva Bates, Allysin Kay, Holidead, and Vanessa Kraven. She has also defended the belt outside of Shine at the WWN Supershow against Toni Storm, at VIP Gold Rush in Texas against Machiko, at ZXW2 in Quebec against Kath Von Goth, and at two ACW Shows against Holidead and Trixie Tash. As of this writing, Lufisto is approaching day 350 with the belt. This makes her the longest reigning Shine Champion by a long shot, Ivelisse’s first reign is the second longest at just shy of 300 days.
Shine is not the only place that Lufisto has seen success this year. She has spent a lot of time in Beyond Wrestling. In January, Lufisto formed Team PAWG with fellow hard hitter Jordynne Grace. The pair has picked up wins against Davienne & Mistress Belmont and Alexxis & Taeler Hendrix, as well as a number of Beyond’s male tag teams. Based on their success in Beyond, Team PAWG earned a shot at the Sabotage World Tag Team titles and the Tier 1 Tag Team titles. Team PAWG also took part in in the Tag Team Elimination match at Nova Pro’s 11th Dimension as they were part of the losing Team Faye Jackson.
In other promotions, Lufisto has picked up wins against Hudson Envy, Sonya Strong, AIW Owner John Thorne at AIW’s The Next Episode, Leva Bates, and former WWE Women’s Champion Jazz among others. In International Wrestling Cartel, Lufisto defeated Britt Baker in July to win the IWC Women’s Title. She successfully defended the title in August against Katie Arquette in a steel cage match before losing the belt in October back to Britt Baker. She advanced to the final round of the AWS Women’s tournament in May defeating Solo Darling and Renee Michelle before losing to Ruby Raze in the finals. In October, Lufisto defeated Gabby Ortiz, Katred, and Penelope Ford to win the vacant JAPW Women’s Title, a title only previously held by Sara Del Rey and Kimber Lee, both currently employed by WWE.
Lufisto continues to be a staple in SHIMMER competing against Leva Bates, KC Spinelli Solo Darling, Shotzi Blackheart, and Rachel Ellering, winning all but the match against Solo. In the fall, Lufisto joined forces with Hudson Envy to take on Solo Darling & Thunderkitty as well as the Samantha Heights & Brittany Blake. In RISE, Lufisto made her debut at Rise 5 defeating Layne Rosario and defeating Dust at Rise 6 in a barbed wire bat match.
Although she ended the year on the shelf with an injury, 2018 is already promising to be another great year. She has booked a trip to wrestle in Europe with British Empire Wrestling as a part of the International Grand Prix. She will be defending her Shine Championship against the first Shine Champion, Rain who returned at Shine 47 winning the Survival Battle Royal to become the number 1 contender. Lufisto is one of the most veteran women on the United States independent wrestling scene. She is resistant and determined. She is a star.

El artículo continúa abajoEn la Copa Mundial del verano pasado, comenzó como extremo en cuatro de los cinco partidos de Francia, saliendo de la banca contra Nigeria en el único juego donde no fue nombrada titular.Mientras tanto, Nadim se unió al PSG en 2019, habiéndose establecido como una figura clave para Dinamarca en la última década.El delantero jugó anteriormente para jugadores como Manchester City, Sky Blue FC y Portland Thorns.

Buenas, quisiera pedir un fan cast espero que puedan ayudarme :(. Personaje: Busco una Natasha Romanoff ambientada en los comics 1872 Descripción: no importa si es en apariencia entre 25-35 años, ojalá lo mas similar al comic Preferencias: ojalá que sea alguien que haya aparecido en alguna película/serie tipo viejo oeste. También busco una Natasha Romanoff para su versión AvAc. creo que la única diferencia es la edad (adolescente), pensaba en Bella Thorne pero no se si es buena opción ¡gracias!
Bueno, para opciones generales de pelirrojas puedes usar los tags y la masterlist, si quieres seguir consultando por tu cuenta.

Respecto a las opciones con imágenes tipo western, solo se me ocurre quizás Haley Bennett en Magnificent Seven. O tal vez Michelle Dockery que es más bien castaña en Godless si haces un poco de uso del photoshop, idk.
No sé mucho de ese tipo de películas así que no puedo ayudar mucho más. En rango adulto:
Michelle Hendley, trans.
Elena Satine.
Yuval Scharf.
Natalia Rudakova.
Elçin Sangu.
Rose Leslie.
Ah, Bella Thorne creo que es poc, por si lo quieres tener en cuenta, no es que me parezca la mejor opción pero si la usas para que lo tengas en mente. Otras adolescentes:
Alyda Grace es genial.
Sadie Sink.
Larsen Thompson.
Esperamos que nos digas si te ha servido alguna sugerencia, de lo contrario puedes volver para que busquemos más opciones. Los likes de todo aquel al que le guste, rebloguee o le de uso, serán agradecidos.

NWSL Week 16 preview and fixtures: Chicago Red Stars push for the top of the table
Chicago may have had a shaky start to the season, but heading into the homestretch, the Red Stars are firmly one of the league’s top teams.
In 2015, tasked with writing a preview of Chicago’s upcoming season, I described the Red Stars as “streakier than a window washed with Pledge and a pineapple.” This is both terrible cleaning advice — pineapples are inherently messy — and a waste of perfectly good fruit. It is also not entirely inaccurate.
Inconsistent has always been Chicago’s style, from the early NWSL days when the team could never get its act together long enough to crack the top four, to the beginning of this season, when Rory Dames was rolling out formations and lineups by, apparently, putting tiny versions of each player into one of those red cups you use for Yahtzee, giving the thing a good shake and then just going with whatever rolled out onto the table.
The “streakier than a window washed with a pineapple…” thing was, specifically, a reference to Chicago’s 2014 season. Then, the Red Stars made a habit of following up month-long winning streaks with winless ones at least the same length, some kind of strange consistency wrapped up in the opposite. In those days, Chicago had the potential to be a top four team, but whatever climb they’d make towards a postseason berth would always be undone just as quickly. In 2014, Chicago missed out on the playoffs thanks only to tiebreakers, and a lot of questions about how different things could have been if they’d followed up an unbeaten May with something other than a winless June.
The following season, it seemed like Chicago had, maybe, solved the consistency problem. Chicago, thanks in large part to a very strong draft, lost just three times in 2015, and for the first time in the team’s NWSL history, the Red Stars were in the playoffs. By 2016, a little of that old shakiness had started to creep back in, but still, it was enough for a third place finish — the club’s best-ever — and another trip to the postseason. There, at least, Chicago has been totally consistent: two semifinal appearances, two losses. Small [non]victories, I guess.
The way Chicago started this season felt something like a throwback to those more inconsistent times. The Red Stars lost twice in the first four games. Since then though, Chicago’s lost just once more, 2-1 to the Reign, in late June.
However inconsistent Chicago’s results were in those games, at least it made some kind of sense; this is who the Red Stars are. What the team was doing on the the field was another story though, and it was a straight up, True Detective season two-level confusing one. Through the first four games of the season, the Red Stars used four different lineups and formations, like they’d solved the puzzle correctly and made it look like the picture on the box, and then decided they should take it apart and try to solve it again but this time from Pablo Picasso’s point of view.
All of that, combined with a more general ineptitude from every team that wasn't North Carolina, left the Red Stars, and everyone else, playing some strange game of musical chairs in the table. Through the first two months of the season, the Courage was consistently in the top spot, and no other team was doing anything consistent at all.
Now, of course, we’re well past the halfway point, and midway through August, the playoff picture is starting to take on a more definite shape. The bottom of the table has mostly sorted itself out, with Washington stuck in a permanent #tbt to 2013, Kansas City still waiting for the permits to come through on the rebuilding they started following the 2015 season, and Boston just kind of Bostoning around with Rose Lavelle injured. A little further up, Orlando got a big boost from Marta and the Pride’s been slowly climbing into the postseason conversation and Houston, though still not able to consistently compete with the league’s top teams, has started to string together results, too.
Three weeks ago, the top half of the table saw a little shakeup, and though the teams — Chicago, North Carolina, Portland, Seattle, Sky Blue, and now Orlando — are mostly the same, their positions are not. The big story from those games was, of course, the wild 5-4 thing that Seattle and Sky Blue did. And yeah, that game, with nine goals, the Megan Rapinoe vs. Sam Kerr Golden Boot race and the Reign knocking Sky Blue out of the top four with the win, was surely a big and important one in the playoff race, but it wasn't the only thing that happened.
While Rapinoe and Kerr were lighting up the scoreboard in Seattle, the Red Stars were, much more quietly, climbing into first. Of course, part of Chicago’s landing atop the table was because North Carolina’s game against Kansas City was suspended due to weather (it was replayed Thursday night, a 1-0 win for the Courage), but mostly, the Red Stars became the league leaders, at least temporarily, because they quietly turned in another solid performance, beating the Pride 2-1.
Since then, with the Courage playing three games in two weeks and the Red Stars earning only a point in another game against Orlando last weekend, Chicago’s slipped back into second. Still, North Carolina’s lead, one that once seemed insurmountable, is now only four points, and the team that’s right on the Courage’s heels is, of course, the Red Stars.
Beyond ruining Seattle’s perfect season in 2014, Chicago’s never done much that’s particularly flashy. The Red Stars have never made some huge signing from overseas somewhere, or been part of some blockbuster trade. Instead, Chicago’s mostly relied on building from within, drafting smart, and giving young players time to develop within the Red Stars system.
Casey Short, who’s starting to break into the USWNT picture, was originally drafted by Boston, but never played for the Breakers due to injury. Short joined the Red Stars last season, her first in the NWSL, and quickly became an integral part of Chicago’s back line. Julie Ertz, who’s been a mainstay on the USWNT for several years, was drafted by Chicago in 2014 and has spent her entire NWSL career there. So has Christen Press, who joined the Red Stars the same year, after spending two seasons in Sweden.
The story’s the same for just about everyone on Chicago’s roster — players who’ve spent their entire NWSL careers as Red Stars, growing up — and in some cases, like Short’s — getting shots at a spot on the national team because of what they’ve done in Chicago. In fact, of the 11 players that started in the 2-1 win over the Pride, nine have spent their entire NWSL careers in Chicago. It was a similar story in the draw with Orlando a week later, and that was without Press, Ertz and Short, who’d all just returned from the Tournament of Nations.
Perhaps the biggest trade Chicago’s made over the league’s now five year history is also one of the only ones the team’s ever been a part of. But even that, bringing Alyssa Naeher to Chicago, was a move out of necessity more than anything else. Karina LeBlanc, who’d backstopped the Red Stars through the first three seasons of NWSL play, retired following the 2015 season. Though Naeher is now the USWNT’s de facto no. 1 with Hope Solo disappeared and Ashlyn Harris injured, when Chicago traded for her in late 2015, she was still way down on Jill Ellis’ depth chart and known primarily as Boston’s long-suffering but reliable goalkeeper.
Beyond the Naeher move, Chicago’s strategy of building from within is one that’s kind of unique in the NWSL. This is a league that’s still only got ten teams, and that means limited roster spots. With a seemingly endless supply of talent, it’s not unusual for teams to bail on young players who don’t immediately click in the pro ranks. This hasn’t ever been how Chicago’s operated though, in part because the Red Stars have done extremely well with integrating new players into an already established system.
Perhaps the most notable example of this is Chicago’s 2015 draft. Due to the World Cup, Chicago’s rookies suddenly became massive parts of the team, and all of them were up to the task almost immediately. Beyond that, of the seven selections the Chicago made that year, four — Arin Gilliland, Danielle Colaprico, Sofia Huerta and Stephanie McCaffrey — are still integral parts of the Red Stars (McCaffrey was traded to Boston later on draft day, but traded back to Chicago midway through the 2016 season). Huerta scored the tying goal against Orlando last weekend, her fourth of the season.
This year, the Red Stars had just three draft picks, and two of them — Morgan Proffitt and Lauren Kaskie — are on the team (the third, Michele Vasconcelos, announced she was pregnant in February). But Proffitt and Kaskie have both seen only limited time this season. That’s the other part of the equation, and the good problem Chicago’s got. With so little turnover from year to year, there’s just not much room for new players to get consistent minutes right now. Still, Chicago’s kept both Kaskie and Proffiitt around, and though neither has been thrown into things in quite the same sink or swim way the 2015 class was, it’s not impossible to imagine that if either was called on, they wouldn’t be able to fall seamlessly into a bigger role.
On Saturday, Chicago will host Portland, the second meeting of the season between the two teams. The Red Stars and Thorns head into this weekend separated by just a single point, and though North Carolina’s win on Thursday will prevent either from taking the top spot in the table, the Red Stars could move back within a point of the first-place Courage by Sunday night.
The first time Chicago played Portland, it was in Portland in week 3. Then, the Thorns came away with the 1-0 win. But that was also when Chicago was still in one of its fits of inconsistency. Since then, the Red Stars, have lost just once, and that was way back in late June. For however messy and ill-advised it might be to use a pineapple and Pledge for cleaning, for the Red Stars right now, it’s creating all the right kinds of streaks.

2042: Il mondo che verrà
Serpesia, Madre della Disgrazia, aiutata da Girolamos di Sanos, Sommo Sacerdote, officia l’ennesimo rituale per riportare alla vita il Demone dell’Incubo, Ixo, che fu ucciso dal padre, Caos, dopo l’essersi strappato gli occhi e averli posti nelle mani di Axa, sua sorella gemella, Regina di Erellont, la Terra dei Sogni.La cerimonia dei Figli dell’Inganno, prevede il sacrificio di una vergine dagli occhi blu, i cui sangue stillato fra le labbra del Demone, dovrebbe sortire un effetto rigenerante e contro ogni previsione, l’incantesimo ha effetto e il Re Cieco ritorna conoscente, lo stesso Caos inizia a muoversi dalla sua volontaria segregazione.La magia è così potente da essere percepita da Pandora, Incarnazione della Speranza e da Belle, figlia del Demone Chemosh, che corrono ai ripari per evitare che ogni possibilità di salvezza sia annientata, infatti, lo Spazio ed il Tempo si sfaldano, ricomponendosi in modo innaturale: gli esseri viventi nell’anno 2017 sono trasportati nel 2042, in quello che sarebbe il futuro.
L’intero Universo è stato trasfigurato dal ritorno di Incubo; la Terra, squassata dai terremoti, ha un solo, immenso continente, Norean sul cui trono siede Ixo, il sovrano e con lui, sono giunti i Demoni, le Anime Dannate, gli Evocatori, i Figli dell’Inganno, che hanno assoggettato, avvelenato, plasmato la nuova Umanità. Il paese è prospero, offre diverse possibilità a chi accetta le leggi infernali, la schiavitù è incoraggiata, qualsiasi ribellione è punita con la morte e nella capitale, la Città di Norean, sorgono i palazzi del potere, i laboratori all'avanguardia in cui gli Uomini ottengono soldi, successo, la soddisfazione ai capricci, in cambio della libertà e dell’anima.Il Regno di Erellont è stato distrutto, la Montagna del Guardiana è crollata, sul suo cratere è sorta la Città Stato di Rennas, ultimo avamposto per le creature leali alla Terra dei Sogni, al volere del Dio o in cerca di riparo. Rennas è cinta da mura invalicabili alte oltre cinquanta metri, le Porte del Sole sono aperte al mattino e alla sera, così che i contadini coltivino il vasto appezzamento di terreno, che li separa dalla Terra, e procurino cibo per buona parte degli abitanti. La città sorge su più livelli, ognuno con parti abitabili, nascondigli, botteghe, locande.Al Primo Livello sorge il Rifugio della Speranza, dimora degli Elpìs scampati ai rastrellamenti, dove è distribuito il pane, oltre ad altri generi di primaria sussistenza; funge da ricovero per i feriti o i richiedenti asilo, mentre la Farmacia di Lilien consente un’adeguata copertura medica.Al Secondo Livello, è posto l’arco della Rocca dei Guerrieri, un monumento al coraggio di Erellont, oltre ad esso è possibile trovare un Mercato, in cui ancora si usa la magia ed il baratto.Il Palazzo del Re è il culmine della Città, aperto a qualsiasi ora del giorno e della notte, ospita chiunque ne varchi la soglia.La sicurezza interna è garantita dalle Nuove Amazzoni, formidabili combattenti, la cui regina è Orla Hannigan, la prima della sua razza, una Termite infernale infante purificata; come molte delle ex Termiti, Orla è stata cresciuta dai Thorton ed in seguito da Albert Hannigan, che considera suo padre. Le Nuove Amazzoni formano la Guardia Cittadina, che segnala qualsiasi trasgressione al sovrano.Le Case di Liriope sono gli accessi usati dai Maridi per raggiungere il Mare Nascosto, un lago salato, sotto la superficie della Città, dove si è istallata la nuova Corte.La guerra aperta con il Continente di Norean, con l’intero Inferno riversato sulla Terra, ha richiesto una misura di difesa estrema: la scelta dei Guardiani, i soli capaci di domare le Potenze dell’Universo.Gli aspiranti sono chiamati a bere da un calice, in cui è stata versata una goccia del sangue di Livia ed altro, che non ha nome e la morte istantanea è la prima di altri due trapassi, necessari per combattere la Potenza, domarla e unirsi ad essa, sorgendo come Guardiano.Nella Città di Rennas sono radunati i Guardiani:
Clarice Sìneag Mott, Guardiana dei Draghi.Eirene Jordan Bauden, Guardiana delle Creature Selvagge.Etienne James Archer, Guardiano dell’Acqua.Ailin Izumi Thorne, Guardiana del Fuoco.Hector Hugh Flannery, Guardiano dell’ Aria.Celia River Allen, Guardiana della Terra.
La loro forza magica e fisica, aiuta Rennas a reggere gli attacchi e così anche la Legione degli Angeli, stazionata nella Chiesa dei Poveri, un luogo mistico e di cruciale importanza, perché l’ultima Biblioteca dell’Umanità; la teca di Livia è stata trasportata al sicuro, meta di pellegrinaggi, quanto la bara sull'acqua di Eunice, o Yuuri, il Giglio, la principessa della Città, nata dall'amore di Sillia e di Aimee, colpita a morte da Ixo ma sopravvissuta grazie a dei gigli, capaci di fungere da sistema circolatorio sostitutivo.Livia e Yuuri non sono morte, respirano, sorridono, piangono, sono ostaggi di Incubo, che ha assaltato i Thorton, sterminando l’intera famiglia di Tim e poi accanendosi sul figlio, la stessa sorte è toccata a Sillia, ad Aimee, nonostante il valore di Ixo, il Giglio di Rennas è ancora in vita.I personaggi che popolano Rennas sono molti, purtroppo, molti sono stati uccisi o sono svaniti, come le Muse ma altri sono ritornati: Finegar ha trovato la memoria, la sua coscienza gli impone la vita di prigioniero, combatte per Rennas ma non abbandona la cella o le catene; Emil è figlio di John e di Serpesia, nato da una violenza, doveva aiutare la madre a far tornare una Demone della Lussuria, abbattuta da Umabel;Jiroshi, l’ultimo Nephilim, il Demone Gatto che ha istruito Livia, seguendola nel mondo e poi nella Terra dei Sogni, creatura di saggezza sconfinata e di potere, può diventare una delle anime Beate superando la bizzarra prova affidatagli da San Michele, Arcangelo, vivere come gatto per mille anni; Erato, Musa dell’Arte Erotica, risorta da Sillia, insieme ad altri Sogni; Eunice, sorella prediletta di Liriope, amata dal coraggioso Elinath, ha libertà di muoversi con Eudore, la sua sorellastra, la principessa è caritatevole, generosa, saggia ed in tutto, sarebbe una regina migliore del padre. Eunice ha delegato il potere a un caro amico, perché l’erede al trono è Liriope, sebbene si sia tolta la vita, alla morte di Tim; Bubo è la figlia di Eirene e di Mous, appare come un coniglio bianco con la coda rosa a forma di cuore, in grado di illuminarsi, ripete una sola parola da cui il suo nome ed il suo potenziale magico è enorme, le consente di usare la transizione e ha attirato l’attenzione di Persefone, decisa a renderla la guida e la guardia dei Campi Elisi, dei bimbi spirati ed ospitati nei Giardini di Ade.Pandora e Belle sono state rapite, la prima è sotto il sigillo di Incubo, che spera di piegarla o di distruggerla, mentre Belle consegnata a suo padre, l’ha chiuso in un’illusione per cercare alcuni documenti, affidatati da Aamon, il Conoscitore, sulle Entità della Creazione. Ewa, la Fata Nera, madre di Belle e amante di Aamon riesce a fingere la morte della figlia, che poi tiene al sicuro, nella propria dimora.La Città di Rennas ha bisogno della Speranza, essa ha cementato le fondamenta della dimensione, quando le ceneri umani di Pandora si sparsero per Erellont ma se Ixo potesse mettere le mani sulle reliquie, avrebbe modo di annientare Pandora e sradicare la Speranza dal mondo, così neppure i Guardiani avrebbero scampo.La situazione è drammatica, costellata da molti attacchi, però l’ingegno di Euterpe fa pervenire alla resistenza un cilindro, un congegno che può attirare nella Terra dei Sogni qualsiasi creatura, così come può bandirla. È attraverso questo artificio, che sono rinvenute otto pergamene con gli appunti di Mous, nonché la liberazione di Pandora, Belle e di Ewa, ormai redenta.I giorni passano, Callum Payne II scopre di essere lo sposo di Quasith, elevato ad Arciduca Infernale e generale dell’Invincibile Orda, ha adottato le gemelle della moglie, che sono a capo della rete spionistica di Norean, fra le spie c’è anche Madison Hunt, salvata dal coraggio del padre, Nathaniel e Yoshi, smascherata, condannata a morte, pietosamente uccisa da Lucian Thorne.L’arrivo della Madre della Sventura, Sanae, è decisivo per il conflitto, perché questa porta in grembo Lucifero, il primo e più grande nemico degli Angeli, si libera e raggiunge la Chiesa dei Poveri, si avventa su Noelle, la Serafino Caliel e la uccide sotto gli occhi di Umabel, reo di aver riso in faccia al Caduto, James scatena la sua furia, così i suoi compari, ma Noelle giace inerte e Sherlock esala il suo ultimo respiro, come gli ha concesso Gabriele.Yuuri, sconvolta, si desta e riporta in vita Noelle e Sherlock, come Sillia, prima di lei, sa dare vita ai sogni e può ridare a Rennas vigore.Ixo scatena una creatura dell’Averno, con l’aiuto di Aamon, che semina vittime nella Chiesa dei Poveri, Orla Hannigan cade, mentre Killian, l’Angelo Cassiel, tenta di salvarla e sono mutilati Benedict ed Albert.I feriti ed i morti sono tanti, Azrael constata che Orla è stata presa da Gabriele e ciò indica una resurrezione, intanto, al Rifugio della Speranza, si pensa ai vivi.Pandora usa il suo potere, lo libera sull’intera Città di Rennas, guarisce ogni ferito, ogni malato, dona maggiore forza a tutti gli abitanti.Albert e Pandora si baciano, ma poi l’Elpìs è travolto dalla perdita di Orla.
L’ultima battaglia è vicina, Awentia, lo Spirito del Miele arriva a Rennas per cercare i Mott; Jiroshi la blocca ma il suo grido e la sua capacità di scatenare gli Spettri sono in totale libertà.Enid, come Musa della Letteratura decide di celebrare il Rito dell’Oblio, che scaraventerà Awentia in una frattura fra le dimensione, nel Nulla e cesserà di esistere; Cayden Watson, Wilfred Mott e Benedict Thorne si mettono in prima linea per evitare che Awentia distrugga la Musa. Erato affianca la sorella, la protegge, ma la lotta è ardua.Clarice Mott scatena i Draghi, le bestie selvagge sono ovunque, Angeli, Ennasiani, Roelliani, Nani e Fate, Pukka ed Esperidi, Maridi e Umani combattono per la salvezza.Wilfred e Benedict rischiano la morte, ma il primo è aiutato da un cucciolo di Drago, Kyu Kyu e Benedict da una piccola Fenice, Piri Piri.I due trovano il modo di estinguere gli Spettri, animati da una piuma angelica ed Awentia, che aveva in sé una piuma di Umabel ed una di Azrael è condannata all’Oblio.Le piume angeliche iniziano a fluttuare nell'aria, il Regno di Erellont appare in lontananza, Yuuri spiega che sono riusciti a sanare la frattura generata dalla cerimonia di Serpesia, oltre ad averli liberati dai nemici, perciò il loro compito sarà evitare che i giorni che hanno vissuto diventino il loro concreto avvenire.
Tutti gli esseri viventi tornano nel 2017 e la Città di Rennas, come il Continente di Norean scompaiono, con i loro abitanti.

december 2016
Note: I was playing catch up on the last few months of 2016, but with this (December 2016), I've reached the current year! Hooray! These monthly wrap-ups are mostly for my own posterity, but I hope you enjoy / take some of the recommendations!
- the television -
Guess what? How I Met Your Mother does not get better in the later seasons. In fact, it gets worse. The decision for the final season to take place over the course of 72 hours will always be unfathomable to me, and I had completely forgotten about the bizarrely racist episode in the middle of season 9, but I finished it. Woo.
As a palate cleanser after HIMYM, I inhaled four short half hour dramedies in record time. The first season of Insecure, seasons one and two of Lovesick (nee. Scrotal Recall), all eight episodes of Easy, and seasons two, three and four of Please Like Me.
Insecure and Easy were both good, but Lovesick and Please Like Me were my favourites of the bunch. Lovesick is a romantic comedy in television format and I watched both seasons in one evening, physically unable to stop myself from clicking 'Next Episode'. I'd watched the first season of Please Like Me months and months ago, but wasn't invested enough to keep going. This time though, I was hooked. Season 4 in particular is some of the best television I've ever seen. Heartbreaking and funny and full of heart. I'm devastated that Josh Thomas has decided that season four was its last, but I respect the creative decision and they are DEFINITELY going out on a high note. Catch up on Netflix!
In December, I also caught up on the latest season (seven) of Shameless, re-watched the first, and sadly only, season of Enlisted, and re-watched the first season of Pitch. (Please, please renew this show, Fox. I needed beefy, bearded Mark-Paul Gosselaar in my life).
- the books -
Fresh off the hype of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, comes Lauren Graham's memoir Talking As Fast As I Can. I didn't enjoy it as much as her novel and found the writing to be more conversational than I am used to, but the anecdotes about her Gilmore Girls and Parenthood years were nice. I think listening to the audiobook might have been the way to go with this one.
This month, I also read a series of largely forgettable YA novels - The Way Back to You by Michelle Andreani and Mindi Scott, Hate List by Jennifer Brown, and I'll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios - before finally finding two novels that I loved. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne is an incredibly endearing and steamy romantic comedy set in the office of a publishing company. It has boatloads of sexual tension, tons of humour and a whole lot of heart. Vicious by V.E. Schwab is out of my general wheelhouse - I'm not a big fantasy reader - but I've now read a few books by Schwab and I really enjoy her style of writing and Vicious was no exception.
- the movies -
In December, I waded through Netflix's movie library and watched Tangled, Other People, The Longest Ride, and How to Train Your Dragon. Other People in particular is heartbreaking and wonderful.
- the music -
Thanks to NPR's Stephen Thompson, I discovered Maren Morris this month. Morris' debut album, Hero, was nominated for the Country Music Awards 'Album of the Year' and her single My Church won the Grammy for 'Best Country Solo Performance'. Morris herself won the CMA for 'New Artist of the Year'. Listen to my favourite song here.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and end of the year. As always, happy reading, watching and listening!
