Festival Francescano 2023 a Bologna

Tutto a Bologna è pronto per la quindicesima edizione del Festival Francescano, che da giovedì 21 a domenica 24 settembre occuperà gli spazi di piazza Maggiore e alcune sale di Palazzo d’Accursio con convegni, confronti, tavole rotonde e laboratori anche rivolti ai più piccoli. Saranno giorni che celebreranno gli ottocento anni della regola di frate Francesco, amalgamando il suo pensiero alla quotidianità del mondo contemporaneo e, dalla cultura all’università, passando anche dalle figure istituzionali, sono un centinaio gli ospiti della manifestazione, resa possibile grazie ai partner – tra gli altri – Rekeep e Bper Banca. Al Festival verranno persone di estrazione diversa, storie diverse, appartenenze diverse che insieme si confrontano e si fanno domande: se una regola ha ancora senso, se la parola obbedire a un progetto ha ancora senso e si coniuga anche con la parola disobbedire in un momento in cui si è allergici alle regole e ognuno ha la sua regola, dove sr possa avere ancora senso sognare insieme r cambiare la società, ma  questo è quello che ha fatto Francesco con la sua vita, la sua regola, che è una regola piena di finestre che lascia tantissime possibilità. Il programma avrà inizio giovedì 21 alle 15 a Palazzo D’Accursio con un convegno sulla Regola francescana, coordinato dallo storico francese Jacques Dalarun, poi ci saranno incontri con autori come il filosofo francese Frédéric Gros,  Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt o Annalena Benini. Nel programma scientifico, immancabile la presenza del cardinale Matteo Maria Zuppi e sul grande palco di piazza Maggiore arriveranno Ginevra Di Marco, cantautrice folk e popolare, fonde il suo universo interpretativo con le poesie di Franco Arminio, Stefano Andreoli, il rapper e cantautore Ghemon e ci sarà anche l’occasione per festeggiare i sessant’anni del Piccolo Coro dell’Antoniano. In questo momento il movimento francescano è molto importante nella cultura della penisola, dove in ci sono  nuove idee importanti per il pianeta, sia sui temi dell’ambiente che del lavoro, per la dignità della persona. Partner gold della manifestazione è Rekeep, che lo vede come un modo per dimostrare una condivisione di valori e di obiettivi, oltre a Bper Banca, in una comunione di intenti che lo lega allo spirito del Festival nella responsabilità sociale e di impresa.

TOG fandom - How to address others in Italian (a little help for fellow writers)

Another one of these posts in quick succession because a thing I’ve noticed in many, many fanfiction is the incorrect use of titles and honorifics in Nicky’s Italian lines. Which... I get it, it’s super-uper difficult to get and also Google is the worst of all to translate the right use and nuance (my suggestion is to always prefer Reverso Context when translating entire phrases, it’s based on examples and it’s more accurate in general). So!

Let’s start with family (famiglia, with a gl, different to the Spanish word).

Papà = dad (please, please, PLEASE USE THE ACCENT. Just like Nicolo ≠ Nicolò, remember that Papa = Pope. And Nicky’s dad - or Nicky as a dad - is not a Pope). Variants! They are mostly regionals, but you can also use: papi, babbo, pa’. Father = padre, so if Nicky has to refer to an austere father figure or someone else’s father? Use padre and the honorific form (we will get to that). Mamma = mom. Variants! Mami, mammà, ma’. Mother = madre. Figlio/a = son/daughter. Sorella = sister. Older sister = sorella maggiore or sorellona (like ‘big sis’), younger sister = sorella minore or sorellina (’lil sis’). Fratello = brother. Older brother = fratello maggiore or fratellone (’big bro’), younger brother = fratello minore or fratellino (’lil bro’). Nonno/a = grandad/grandma. Also: nonnino/nonnina, it’s cute. Zio/a = uncle/aunt. Cute: zietto/zietta. Cugino/a = cousin. Younger cousins could also be called: cuginetto/cuginetta. Nipote = nephew/niece and grandson/granddaughter. Younger ones: nipotino/nipotina. Suocero/a = father-in-law/mother-in-law. Cognato/a = brother-in-law/sister-in-law. Genero = son-in-law. Nuora = daughter-in-law. ... and I’m stopping here, but if you have questions on other particular words just DM me :D

How to address loved ones.

Amico/a = friend. Someone who’s always very friendly and nice to hang up with = amicone/a. The BFF from when you were young kids = amichetto/a. Ragazzo/a = boyfriend/girlfriend. ‘Chi è? Il tuo ragazzo?’ = ‘Who’s that? Your boyfriend?’. Variants (also regionals): ragazzino/a, moroso/a, tipo/a. Fidanzato/a = fiancée. Could also be used as boy/girlfriend, but it’s mostly for couples about to get married. However, nonne all over Italy at Christmas would always ask their nephews/nieces ‘ce l’hai il/la fidanzatino/a?’ which basically is ‘have you found yourself a boy/girlfriend?’. Marito/moglie = husband/wife.

How to address royalty/nobility (to the person who asked about this specifically some time ago: took me some time, but here it is).

Sua/Vostra altezza reale/imperiale = His/Her/Your royal/imperial highness Sua/Vostra maestà reale = His/Her/Your royal majesty Re/Regina = King/Queen Imperatore/Imperatrice = Emperor/Empress Principe/Principessa = Prince/Princess Duca/Duchessa = Duke/Duchess Conte/Contessa = Count/Countess Signore/Signora = Lord/Lady (’mio Signore’ = my Lord)

The clergy (a relevant topic for Nicolò).

Prete = priest. Also: don (mostly used before the name to address the priest, like ‘Don Nicolò’)(yeah I know it reminds you of mafia names, that’s where they get it from... it’s basically a substitute of ‘signore’, frequently used in the South). You can also call the priest padre (father) ‘Padre Nicolò’. Padre superiore = father superior, frate = friar, monaco = monk, eremita = hermit, abate = abbott. To address a friar: fra and the name, like ‘Fra Giacomo’. Suora = nun. To address the nun: suor and the name, like ‘Suor Cristina’. Also: sorella, madre superiora = mother superior (’Madre Teresa’), badessa = abbess. Vescovo = bishop. ‘Sua Eccellenza’ = His Excellency. Arcivescovo = archbishop. ‘Sua Grazia’ = His Grace. Cardinale = cardinal. ‘Sua Eminenza’ = His Eminence. Papa = Pope. POPE. P-O-P-E as in the old holy guy dressed in white living in Vaticano. First rule of Italian, folks: we don’t have as many accents as the French, but when we do THEY MUST BE USED. Also: Santo Padre = Holy Father. ‘Sua Santità’ = His Holiness. I had to translate half ‘Wikihow - come rivolgersi al clero cattolico’ LOL

There should probably be a whole chapter about politics too, but you get the drift: use Reverso, check the examples and write me (or any other Italian user in the TOG fandom) a DM if you’re in doubt.

And we arrive straight to the honorific form. This is hard, I know... English doesn’t really have this form, but it’s extremely important to know it and know the differences to write/talk good Italian.

The basic rule is that when we speak to someone who’s above us in hierarchy (a client, a professor, an older colleague, ecc.) or a stranger, we use ‘lei’. Dare del lei means not referring to the person with the singular form of ‘you’ = tu, but use the female third person singular. Let’s proceed with an example: if you’re writing Nicky as a professor, he’s gonna be called ‘prof Di Genova’ by his Italian students. They wouldn’t say ‘prof, non interrogarmi’ to him, but they would use the ‘lei’ form: ‘prof, non mi interroghi’ (don’t test/question me, professor). This form is basically the most frequently translated by Google. This is why the most frequent mistake in fanfiction is Nicky asking ‘scusi?’ (sorry, in the ’lei’ form) to Joe or Andy or Booker instead of ‘scusa?’. As much as I think Nicky is a very polite guy and he definitely would use the ‘lei’ form with strangers, he knows his family (and his husband!) well enough to use the ‘you’. As a rule, always check if the translated Italian you are using is in the honorific form and, if it shouldn’t be in your fic (as in: Nicky is talking to someone he knows, like Nile or Joe or his family), change it to the ‘you’ form. NB! Nice nuance in fanfiction: Nicky using the ‘lei’ form with Copley or even Merrick (sometimes using the honorific form with asshole strangers adds a very sassy flavour) and Nicky using the ‘lei’ form with Joe if you’re writing a first meeting AU (in a polite/formal environment). It’s cute because there’s frequently a moment during a first meeting conversation where people ask each other: ‘possiamo darci del tu?’ (can we use the ‘you’ form?) and I think it’d work well with them.

You think this is it? THINK AGAIN! We also have an even more reverential form, to use with very veeery important people (nobility, extremely high-up people and the such) which is dare del voi. Voi = you (second person plural). The ‘vostra’ you saw above in the royalty part comes from this. Example: if Nicky is a prince or a king, a counselor should address him with the ‘voi’ form. ‘Vostra maestà, vogliate scusarmi: ho dimenticato di aggiornarvi su questo argomento’ (Your Majesty, please excuse me: I’ve forgotten to give you updates on this topic).

A bit complicated, I know, but I hope I’ve helped. Remember you can DM me anytime if you have questions. If you think I’ve forgotten something, please add a comment so that I can reply! :D

Yule Ball? a.k.a. l’arte del chiedere - Pt 2

Sì, lo so che il titolo della seconda parte è diverso, però ragazz* dai ci sta... Essere originali è bll

Allora, la parte 1 la trovate qui e scrivo a caratteri cubitali che è una METANARI. Così non ci sono problemi ed il mondo è bll e brv ✨🌸

Il setting e il contesto e il world di questa kosa invece non si trovano da nessuna parte, perché ancora non vedono la luce e chissà se la vedranno mai ✨✨✨ questo per dirvi che se doveste avere domande o voleste chiarimenti o anche solo soddisfare una curiosità, potete tranquillamente chiedere in un commento o direttamente nell’ask 

Detto questo, io sono Asia e sarò il vostro narratore per questa esperienza mistica nei meandri del mio cervello scemo

Manca una settimana al Ballo del Ceppo. E Marco ancora non ha invitato Ermal. 

Ergo, Ermal è nervoso, il che vuol dire che Annalisa è nervosa, il che vuol dire che Fabrizio non ha vita facile

Fabrizio che in tutte queste dinamica da regazzini non ha interesse. Lui ha interesse solo nelle mutande di Annalisa e se il migliore amico della sua ragazza (che si ostina a dire di non essere la sua ragazza) sta sempre lì, a reggere le candele e mangiarsi i gomiti perché è un ragazzino rincoglionito, Fabrizio a malapena vede le proprie di mutande, il che non va affatto bene

Certo Fabrizio non sa che nell’ottica di Ermal e Annalisa il terzo in comodo è lui ma dettagli 

E poi, sinceramente, anche all’infuori di ciò che muove le cose, a Fabrizio dispiace

e lui è Tassorosso doc, quindi se vede un problema, è ansioso di risolverlo

Quindi va da Marco

Lo trova nel solito posto, seduto sotto uno degli archi in cortile, nonostante faccia un freddo cane e il cielo prometta una bella nevicata. “Montanari?” chiede, quasi timoroso di fare una gran figura di merda 

Marco lo guarda, confuso “Sì, sono io. Tu sei Mobrici, vero? Quello che dice di essere il ragazzo di Annalisa” Fabrizio lo guarda gelido “Annalisa è la mia ragazza” “Lo sai che se non lo sa o non vuole esserlo non vale vero? Comunque, ti serve qualcosa?”

“In effetti sì” “Perfetto” fa Marco, battendo le mani “Io in genere chiedo poco ai nuovi ‘clienti’” gli dice, ridacchiando e facendo le virgolette con le dita

Fabrizio batte le palpebre un paio di volte “Come prego?” “Sì, dai, lo sai... Sconto novellino” e se il sorriso sornione sul viso di Marco sta bene, quell’occhiolino complice triggera Fabrizio

Insomma, è sorpreso. Di queste cose se ne intende, ne ha visti tanti di amici prendere questa strada a San Basilio. Fabrizio non aveva mai provato nulla, un po’ perché si conosce e sa che le sostanze eccitanti non fanno per un ipocondriaco come lui, un po’ perché non può perdere la testa, dato che per sicurezza è sempre andato in giro con la bacchetta. Non puoi essere strafatto con il corrispettivo di una testata nucleare nella manica o alla caviglia. O almeno questo è ciò che ritiene Romina. Bizio manco sa cosa sia una testata nucleare

ma qui, ad Hogwarts, è diverso. Magari qualcosa di non troppo forte. Chissà se Annalisa se la farebbe una canna con lui. Al limite, la regala a Gabba

“In realtà, non sono qui per questo” ammette, grattandosi la nuca “ma un po’ de erba non sarebbe male, o sbaglio?” ridacchia piano

E poi smette di ridere davanti all’espressione shockata di Marco

“Eh?” chiede il pykkolo ancyelo

“Eh?” gli fa eco il povero Bizio, aggiungendo “ma tu cosa vendi, scusa?”

“Informazioni. Io so tutto di tutti. E mi pagano in dolci” spiega Marco, pallido da far invidia al Frate Grasso

Fabrizio lo guarda ed è il meme della signora che fa i calcoli

e poi sputa “Sai tutto di tutti, ma non che Meta sta per Schiantarti”

“Ermal non lo farebbe mai” sbotta Marco, offeso

“Ci manca poco. Se aspetti un altro po’ ad invitarlo al ballo”

Marco batte le palpebre “Eh?”

“Hai capito bene” ed è soddisfatto Fabrizio, della serie che, alla Gabbani e sempre se sapesse cosa significa, sarebbe tutto “nailed it”

“Ma ma ma ma...” comincia a balbettare Marco, a cui Fabrizio risponde “cco cco cco cco sveglia sveglia sveglia sveglia” lo guarda meglio “Secondo te perché ha rifiutato tutti quelli che lo hanno invitato?”

“Perché aspetta l’invito di Pace” “Rifiutato tre giorni fa” “Di Dino” “Rifiutato settimana scorsa” “La Michelini?” “Lei e Mirtilla Malcontenta si fanno compagnia da quasi due settimane ormai”

Marco.exe has stopped working. Fabrizio non conosce una parola in inglese, quindi non sa cosa gli sia preso

“Regazzi’, tranquillo” gli dà un buffetto sulla guancia “Ti aiuta Fabrizio, er mejo der Colosseo”

“Annamo bene, annamo popo bene” mormora Marco, pensando che peggio non potrebbe andare 

Potrebbe piovere, ma in realtà nevica

Classica nevicata hogwartsiana (?) e ovviamente tutti si riuniscono fuori a giocare a palle di neve. Gli italiani devono farsi riconoscere e quindi organizzano un mega torneo. Inglesi, francesi e bulgari si perdono le migliori bestemmie del mondo e siamo tutti dispiaciuti per loro

Ermal e Annalisa stanno allungati a terra, a fare gli angeli nella neve, le teste vicine, ma i piedi in due direzioni diverse.

“Se Marco non mi invita nemmeno oggi, lo mando a cagare” esordisce Ermal, dopo diversi minuti di silenzio, in cui non avevano fatto altro che osservare i fiocchi di neve che scendevano lenti su di loro

Annalisa cerca di prenderne uno con la lingua ed Ermal la imita, in attesa di una risposta che non tarda ad arrivare “Chiediglielo tu”

Ermal sbuffa “La fai facile, a te è praticamente caduto in braccio e nemmeno mi hai ringraziato” “Ne avrei fatto volentieri a meno” sbotta Annalisa “è un figo, ma è tanto appiccicoso” “Non sembri dispiaciuta quando lo trascini da Madama Piedediburro, nonostante lui preferisca la Testa di Porco” “Vedi? Incompatibili” “Però lui almeno te l’ha chiesto” “Dopo averlo chiesto a te. E poi non era lui quello con cui volevo andare. Al contrario di te, ho avuto le palle di chiederglielo e lui ha rifiutato, fine” 

Ermal salta su, sconvolto ed indignato “Chi è sto stronzo?” Annalisa arrossisce “Un coglione, lascia perdere” lo liquida, perché Ermal è davvero un coglione “Non cambiare discorso. Perché non glielo chiedi tu? Metti da parte l’orgoglio e...” “Mettere da parte l’orgoglio? Se non mi rispetto da solo chi dovrebbe farlo?”

“Ermal!” è la voce di Marco quella che lo chiama, il che lo fa saltare in piedi e anche inciampare mentre si avvicina a lui

“Che fa con Fabrizio?” chiede ad Annalisa, che lo sta seguendo silenziosamente e gli risponde con una scrollata di spalle

“Ehi!” saluta i due, saltellando su e giù un po’ per il nervosismo, un po’ per il freddo, un po’ per la famigliare sensazione di vuoto allo stomaco che prova quando c’è Marco nei paraggi “Facciamo una cosa a quattro?” sputa fuori, riferendosi ad una partita a palle di neve

“OH! Ora parliamo seriamente” risponde Fabrizio, entusiasta, riferendosi ad una ‘partita’ in cui c’entrano tutt’altro tipo di palle 

“Sei disgustoso” commenta Annalisa, mentre Marco balbetta “No, no, io... volevo chiederti una cosa”

“Ok” dice Ermal nel panico, mentre Fabrizio si avvicina ad Annalisa, facendole l’occhiolino come a dire ‘guarda che bravo mentore che sono’

Marco volta le spalle ad Ermal, così che non possa vedere la sua faccia concentrata, mentre si morde la lingua e fa volteggiare la bacchetta

“Marco?” chiama Ermal, confuso per poi sussurrare un sorpreso “Oh”

Davanti a lui, i fiocchi di neve si sono raggruppati insieme fino a formare delle parole. Delle parole con tanto di punto di domanda.

“Yule ball?”

“Gliel’ho insegnato io” si vanta Fabrizio, orgoglioso, mentre Marco si volta a guardare Ermal speranzoso 

“Nemmeno sai che Yule Ball è Ballo del Ceppo in inglese” replica Annalisa, mentre si asciuga una lacrima di commozione e osserva Ermal che si avvicina piano a Marco

“Macco” balbetta, guardandolo incredibilmente sorpreso, senza sapere cosa fare o dire 

“Allora?” chiede l’altro, mordendosi le labbra e abbassando lo sguardo imbarazzato. Un secondo dopo sente le mani di Ermal sul petto e, con entusiasmo sfrenato, alza gli occhi sull’amico, per poi ritrovarsi a terra tra la neve

“Ermal, oh!” grida, schermandosi dalle palle di neve che continuano ad arrivargli addosso a ripetizione

“SEI. UN. IDIOTA. MARCO. MONTANARI.” grida il diretto interessato, accompagnando ogni parola con un veemente svolazzo della bacchetta, a cui seguono delle palle di neve addosso al povero Marco

“Fabrizio” chiama Annalisa, aggrappandosi al braccio del ragazzo, mentre Ermal abbandona la bacchetta e raccoglie a mani nude una mangiata di neve, lanciandola addosso a Marco “Fa qualcosa”

Fabrizio osserva la mano di Annalisa sul braccio con tant’occhi “è palesemente un sì” si spiega “Il mio lavoro qui è finito” completa, con un ghigno soddisfatto, mettendole quello stesso braccio attorno alle spalle “Ma...” “E va bene” concede, tirando fuori la bacchetta 

“Flipendo” sussurra, ridacchiando alla vista di Ermal che inciampa nel vuoto, per poi cadere addosso a Marco “Dovrei aprire una posta del cuore” sospira soddisfatto, portando via Annalisa

“Allora?” balbetta ancora Marco, rosso per l’imbarazzo, per il freddo e perché ha Ermal addosso, con il viso ad un centimetro dal suo

Lo stesso Ermal che è il suo migliore amico da più di un anno e per cui ha una cotta da altrettanto e che si sta chinando su di lui e lo sta baciando 

Ermal che nemmeno sa dove ha trovato il coraggio, ma che sorride quando sente la lingua di Marco sulle sue labbra, che schiude approfondendo il bacio

Insomma, stanno limonando davanti a tutta la scuola ed Ermal nemmeno ha dato una risposta

Si tirano indietro per prendere fiato e scoppiano a ridere quando dicono all’unisono “Immagino sia un sì” “Comunque è sì, eh”

“Vestiti di blu” gli chiede Marco, dopo un secondo o un’eternità passati a baciarsi “Mi piaci in blu”

“Ah?” “Ah ah” e ridono ancora, tutti felicetti 

And that’s it, folks! Questa parte è un po’ più breve, ma spero che non vi dispiaccia! Come chiedeva il prompt, vorrei fare anche la parte riguardante il ballo vero e proprio, ma ho deciso di dividerle per poter trashare ancora di più 😂

se la volete, battete un colpo ed arriverà il prima possibile 😘

deep breath remember when i said this would take me 5mins nevermind i wrote for an hour

tl;dr burmecian dragoon frately and his adopted hume daughter kipcha are hunters that speak several languages but speak french to each other. there’s a dog and a falcon involved that are kipcha’s weird pets. burmecians are an extinct race aside from frately after they defended marginalized groups across ivalice and slowly died off. kipcha and reddas probably have a Thing. kipcha yells at al-cid in rozarrian bc he owes her money cuz she was hired to spy with her multilingual skills before getting thrown into prison and recently broken out by the time the xii-timeline is close to an end , pre-pharos.

ok wheremst do i start with these two i’ll try to. keep it short. 

SPOILER I DIDNT KEEP IT SHORT 

kipcha is a hume in her late 20′s who is a huntress. she has a dog and a falcon has a pet. she lives in the mountains, i headcanon somewhere in rozarria, with her weird dad frately.

frately is , quite frankly, a ripoff of sir frately from ffix. like basically he is a burmecian. but in ivalice-verse, i headcanon burmecias/cleyrans as an extinct race. long long lonnnng ago, burmecians used to be protectors of sorts, of the downtrodden or endangered. they are dragoons so they slayed a lotta dragons threatening their land and the land of others. they were all around a super amazing good race of creatures. the viera, especially, consider themselves heavily indebted to them. many many years ago the burmecians defended eruyt from an attack from some force (i havent figured it out yet, either humes or wyrms) and thus helped build the barriers in golmore now. 

so in ffxii timeline, when fran sees frately, and frankly--when any viera sees frately, the only burmecian they’ve seen in many many many years (as they were rumored to be wiped out in some war)--she removes her helmet and bows her head in respect. bc even though the viera that he sees have left the wood, they still owe their lives to burmecians and there’s a deep respect for them as well as a quiet shock as to how he is alive. not sure if he’s the only burmecian who survived; i imagine there are others but perhaps he is looking for them

somewhere in the timeline after eruyt was defended long long ago, another attack on a village happened, a hume town in rozarria. savages were tearing through it, raping and pillaging and burning it to the ground. burmecians fought to eliminate the threat and save the people, but many were slain in their efforts. THE BURMECIANS WERE VERY BUSY FULL-TIME DEFENDERS OF ALL. they never slept. there was always shit to save. kipcha was a toddler at the time and her whole family was murdered, and frately saved her before hiding them both in the woods. maybe just about every burmecian was wiped out (idfk i really dont have it worked out in a timeline). basically, frately adopted kipcha, at a very young age. she was probably like 3. after that attack, they were both alone. he decided he’d take care of her.

fast forward and now kipcha is 20something and she hunts around ivalice with her weird dad. they have a giant big-ass cabin they both built on some lonely mountain and she doesnt get to talk to humans much. but she has her birb and her doggo and likes to kill shit with her dad. 

also frately speaks in a heavy french accent because i said so, and bc i headcanon burmecians as generally speaking french, also bc i created him as an OC in high school when i was learning french, also bc i do what i want and french is a language in ivalice altho it probably isnt called french it just sounds french. basically its a dead language its probably what the burmecians spoke.

 anyway they speak that to each other. she taught herself the main ivalician tongue and bugged him to learn it too. she doesnt speak with an accent but he’s lazy and old so he has a heavy one. also she speaks rozarrian and landisian and galtaean (what i headcanon as english i guess. she learned a lot of languages by books and travel and when she does meet other humes she loves to talk to them to test out her skills. she is very clever like that. languages come easily to her.

hmmm so anyway

reddas took over balfonheim 2 years pre-game. and there was an assassination attempt to get rid of him as he tried to make all these changes in balfonheim since he cleaned  a lot of it up. well, there was an attempt at an attempt for murder, at least.

 y’see, kipcha and frately were in balfonheim on a hunt and it was their first visit there. kipcha overheard two men talking in a foreign language no one could speak while in a bar, and understood they were trying to plot against reddas. she didnt know who reddas was but she’s literally so catty and didnt like how they looked at her so she snitched. basically she saved reddas’ life cuz it ended up being a huge plot to kill him. 

from then on kipcha got on reddas’ good side but was labeled a snitch by others. she doesn’t really care tho, but sometimes it grates her. lots of people call frately a rat bc of how he looks as a burmecian, and because of him partnering with kipcha to snitch, but i dont think the namecallers understand how tall he is cuz when he stands up from his barstool he is literally like almost seven feet tall he is so tall dude. 

kipcha is average like 5′6″ or something but frately is gigantic. he used to give her piggyback rides and jump around when she was a kid and she squealed in delight but he calls her too fat now (she isnt, but he teases her). kipcha is very sassy, outgoing, and mislabeled as “confident” when really she has no concept of how to act in public since she is never around people so she’s generally just a loud weirdo. she carries her dog around in her arms and ppl are like “omg is ur dog ok” and shes like “he’s fine i just like carrying him around like a baby” . she has a bird, a falcon named [redacted (im honestly so embarrassed by a lot of this)], she flies around sometimes and brings kipcha things like dead rats and random rings. kip has a bohemian sort of style about her and wears a bunch of shit the bird finds. 

because kipcha can speak a lot of languages she was then hired by al-cid to do some spying for something or other, shortly after the reddas stint, as word got out about her. she did the job, and got the info back to al-cid,  but she got caught and imprisoned. frately broke her out but it took over a year to figure it out. i also headcanon that the bird steals al-cid’s glasses in xii timeline during his brief stint in balfonheim. 

kipcha and frately are coined “fire ‘n ice” by most folks who are fond of them. kipcha is very hotheaded and loud. she is also a redhead. frately being of pallor skin and white hair and quiet temperament is therefore ice. whenever frately is embarrassed by her she likes to remind him he raised her and he likes to respond “i had nothing to do with this” in a very french accent.

 so reddas hasn’t seen her for over a year and a half before she shows up in the xii-timeline, broken out of prison, growing her hair out cuz they buzzed it off, and demanding money from al-cid bc he never paid her, but in his defense she was in prison. 

kip and frate show up late in-game and that’s the first time reddas sees her since she saved him, essentially i. sort of maybe ship her with reddas? but more like a “they totally banged once and she’s obviously nuts about him and clambers on his back and curls his sideburns around her finger while whispering in french in his ear” she’s honestly hilarious and frately facepalms a lot. frately and fran hang out. kipcha goes on a hunt with vaan and penelo and they becomes bff’s. hmmm. yeah anyway they show up late in-game to help with a hunt or an esper or like, they need kipcha and frately’s translating knowledge for something or other. idk kipcha is just happy to be out of prison and eating oysters and petting her dog. by the time she shows up in balfonheim ingame she’s probably been out of prison for a few months. oh no this got so long im sorry i think abt them every day they live in my head

Educated-different advocates argued that the regulations violates physicians' First Modification moral of free speech, while supporters of the measure inform it would possibly maybe be most valuable to making sure sufferers give an educated consent to total a being pregnant.

The high court selecting now now not to prefer in the case is in itself a name on abortion, in step with NYU Law Prof. Melissa Murray on "Open Here" this day, "It would possibly maybe actually well moreover counsel a broader antipathy for abortion rights... or it would possibly maybe well moreover merely signal an unwillingness to prefer yet yet another abortion case in what's seemingly to be a blockbuster length of time for the court."

From our pals at FiveThirtyEight:

'Does The Democrats’ impeachment timeline serene gather sense?': We’ve heard from witnesses pondering about U.S. and Ukraine diplomatic family, and we’ve heard constitutional experts testify whether or now now not President Trump’s habits in direction of Ukraine became once an impeachable offense. This day, we heard both Republican and Democratic lawyers outline their cases for -- and towards-- impeachment in step with the proof soundless in the impeachment inquiry thus some distance.

Doff your cap:

One grotesque Christmas sweater is surely on the roguish checklist this year.

Nu-i numai harul. E și inteligența care-i conduce, direcționează sorgintea. Sensibil, profund, luminos, Dinu Olărașu rămâne al nostru, al nemțenilor, pentru totdeauna. Spune că datorează multora ceea ce este astăzi și vrea să adauge, și el, ceva la frumusețea nebănuită a lumii.

– Vorbiți-ne despre localitateaVulpășești, Sagna, în care ați văzut lumina zilei.

Este un sat ca oricare alt sat din țara asta, unde, la 1962, când erau iernile adevărate, de făceai tunel prin zăpadă și trebuia să umbli cu lopata la tine ca să ajungi să dai de mâncare la vite sau să mergi la vecinul de peste drum, atunci, într-un februarie viforos și frumos deopotrivă, am văzut eu lumina zilei. Părinții mei, Neculai și Maria, iubindu-se mult, nu știau ce au făcut. Au observat asta după aceea.

– În familia dvs. s-a mai distins, afirmat cineva pe plan literar, muzical?

Mama mea a scris poezii. E adevărat, niște poezii mai naive, mai de altă natură, dar erau cinstite. Aveau savoarea lor și le scria din toată inima. Și le scria corect în limba română. Asta-i cel mai important.

– Când v-ați desprins de acel loc?

Păi, chiar de la început. Tatăl meu fiind miner, în primăvara lui 1962 a plecat în Banat, la exploatările minere de acolo, Ocna de Fier, Oțelu Roșu… Și mama mea, bineînțeles îndrăgostită fiind de el, n-a așteptat să se termine vara și m-a luat, cât eram eu de mic, ca o franzelă, și am plecat cu trenul să-l căutăm pe tata. Și am rămas acolo, în Banat. Mama și tata, după ce s-au pensionat, s-au întors la Vulpășești, la casa părintească. O casă făcută din chirpici, care rezistă și acum. Stă în picioare mai mult decât orice ANL sau altă vilă din lumea asta! E la fel de vie și de frumoasă, cum am văzut-o când eram copil.

În general, cânt de două-trei ori în Moldova și, bineînțeles, trec și pe la mine, prin Vulpășești, cu toată bucuria. A fost o combinație ”nucleară” între mama și tata. Ambii sunt născuți la Vulpășești. Mai am o soră, cu 11 ani mai mică decât mine, am mai avut și un frate care s-a adus acum câțiva ani, nu a mai avut răbdare în lumea asta și a plecat dincolo… Sora mea are grijă de tot. Școala și liceul le-am făcut în Banat, unde am avut parte de dascăli minunați, care m-au învățat să scriu, să socotesc, să mă gândesc, să văd ce se întâmplă în lumea asta. Mă simt îndatorat față de ei și de învățătoarea mea, bineînțeles. Sunt mulți alții confrați poeți, confrați muzicieni cărora le sunt recunoscător. Cred că datorez multora ceea ce sunt eu astăzi.

– De ce face poezia, domnule Dinu Olărașu, viața mai frumoasă?

Mie mi-a făcut-o, pentru că am recunoscut în a scrie poezie unul din lucrurile cele mai importante care îți poate salva, de fapt, existența, ființa, indiferent dacă afară lumea-i zbuciumată, neliniștită, dizgrațioasă uneori, neîndurătoare, violentă. De câte ori am ocazia, mă întorc la scris și am impresia că e cu mult mai frumos. Asta împreună cu faptul că am descoperit un teritoriu unde am nu o mână de prieteni, ci sute de mii de prieteni poate, care văd nu la fel ca mine, dar la fel de frumos și la fel de îngăduitor și la fel de profund și adevărat ceea ce se întâmplă.

– Mai este poezia însăși viața, însuși sufletul vieții, după cum spunea marele Nichita?

Sigur că mai este. E o vibrație aparte, profundă, eternă. Nu știu cum aș fi rezistat dacă nu s-ar fi întâmplat asta, pentru că eu cred că a fost o întâmplare, un cadou de la îngeri, de la Dumnezeu… Și probabil asta o să fac, până o să trebuiască să plec și eu din lumea aceasta.

– Ați scris întotdeauna cu ușurință?

Pot spune că da. Cu ușurință însemnând la inspirație, la primul fior. Că am venit apoi cu mici nuanțe, cu mici rectificări, impulsul primordial a fost întotdeauna cel mai important.

– De ce avem nevoie ca să fim fericiți?

Într-o lume cum e cea în care încercăm să supraviețuim cât mai frumos, cât mai liniștit, e nevoie de câteva lucruri. Ar fi nevoie de mai multă armonie, mai multă înțelegere, mai multă atenție, mai multă decență din partea unora care învârt – au ei impresia asta – lumea pe un deget sau influențează destinele a milioane și milioane de oameni de zeci și zeci de ani. Mă refer la politicieni, la oameni cu influență. E păcat, pentru că riști să strici existența bună, frumoasă, dăruită de Dumnezeu fiecăruia din noi. E păcat că se întâmplă asta. Ar trebui să fim mai îngăduitori, mai atenți cu ce se întâmplă în imediata noastră vecinătate. Ar trebui să-i ajutăm pe cei care sunt mai neajutorați. La câtă speranță am consumat – și încă mai consumăm – în România, nu știu dacă merităm ce ni se întâmplă. Trebuia să trăim într-o lume un pic mai frumoasă și un pic mai bună.

– De ce uităm adesea că lumea-i făcută din foarte puțin?

Câteodată și eu mai uit. Nu e nevoie decât de dragoste, îngăduință, înțelegere și cred că e îndestulător, până la urmă. Probabil suntem luați cu treburile cotidiene, cu supraviețuirea, cu necazurile, cu încercările, cu catacombele, cu chinuiala vieții noastre. Eu încerc, cât îmi stă în putință, să-mi reglez diagrama vieții mele, cu prietenii, cunoscuții sau necunoscuții, prin cele două module sau îndeletniciri dacă vreți – muzica și poezia. Sper că uneori reușesc să ajung la sufletele, la inimile și la inteligența celorlalți.

– Poetul Lucian Avramescu spunea că, din păcate, în zilele noastre, pentru o mare parte din oameni, poezia nu mai există.

E adevărat că sunt oameni care nu mai vor să citească, dar mai sunt, slavă Domnului, și mulți avizi de cultură. La spectacolul pe care l-am dat la Biblioteca ”G.T. Kirileanu” din Piatra Neamț, am fost surprins să văd, totuși, că lumea mai are timp și de lucruri aparent neimportante. Sper că mă număr printre poeți și o spun cu toată modestia, pentru că sunt poeți mult mai importanți și mai buni. Încerc să-mi adaug vocea cu onestitatea și cu încrederea pe care le am în ceea ce fac. Vreau să pun ceva în plus la frumusețea nebănuită a lumii.

– Ați fost considerat un copil minune, un copil teribil al folk-ului românesc.

Sunt vorbe mari. N-am făcut altceva decât să fiu eu însumi. E adevărat, cu nebuniile mele, cu tristețile mele, cu lacrimile mele, cu umorul meu atâta cât este, cu ale mele curiozități. Până la urmă, asta încearcă să fie, de fapt, fiecare artist. Să se exprime, până la capăt, pe el, de fapt, cu toate vibrațiile lui.

– În această vară, se va auzi din nou imnul, cântecul spiritului tânăr de la Vama Veche. Versurile și muzica imnului Festivalului Folk You vă aparțin.

E un cântec fain, pe care Marius Tucă l-a îmbrățișat și l-a iubit din prima și uite că a rămas. Mă bucură că se întâmplă asta în Vamă, unde vine toată România; e o Românie mai mică, o Românie care se bucură fredonând alte cântece minunate ale altor colegi de-ai mei. Versurile imnului le-am scris în 5 minute sau 7 minute, așa la inspirație. De 1 Mai nu am fost la Vama Veche, ci la Sighișoara, acolo unde locuiesc de 15 ani. O să fiu în Vamă pe 12, 13 și 14 mai, când se deschide sezonul folk acolo.

– Să încheiem pomenind un mare poet nemțean: Aurel Dumitrașcu.

Am avut ocazia să-l întâlnesc de două sau trei ori. Un poet genial! Un poet iluminat. Era sensibil, avea ceva aparte. Poet cu adevărat! Sută la sută!

Ana MOISE

”La câtă speranță am consumat în România, nu știu dacă merităm ce ni se întâmplă” Nu-i numai harul. E și inteligența care-i conduce, direcționează sorgintea. Sensibil, profund, luminos, Dinu Olărașu rămâne al nostru, al nemțenilor, pentru totdeauna.
