Spoilers for TNC and a theory/ possibility
So far we only really know that barclay and Audrian can do wild lore and the audrain can control it but barclay can’t
At the end of TNC Barclay kept on saying the like he needs to control it, that only audrain knows how to control, and yasha words couldn’t leave his mind (yasha says he should come with him and audrain so he can control the wild lore)
I have a felling the maybe, just maybe, he will go to audrain or at least ask for help but JUST to control the wild lore so he doesn’t hurt anyone and not to actually help him
I know this is kinda far fetched but still it’s something to think about

De l’hospitalité - Jean-Marie Audrain
De l’hospitalité – Jean-Marie Audrain
Nous fêtions le 25 juin un double anniversaire : celui du dépôt il y a 60 ans de la thèse de Louis Massignon, Le Diwan d’al-Hallâj, et celui du martyr de ce maître du soufisme, poète et philosophe, Hallaj, décapité et crucifié en 922 pour sa foi trop tolérante, trop bienveillante !
On lui doit notamment cette citation qui s’est répandue comme la trainée de poudre l’ayant conduit au martyre :…

I finished reading The Push and I have to say, it was pretty compelling. I mean, I couldn't put the book down and finished it in less than 12 hours! If you're into psychological dramas and themes around motherhood, then this book is definitely worth checking out!

Headcannon: At one point or another, Cecily fed/befriended some crows (and by some I mean a lot of crows). So, when they inevitably fight Audrain in the mountains, he just gets attacked by a million crows because he hurt her.

Quel livre !
Un vrai page-turner, que j’ai eu du mal à lâcher. Et pourtant, j’ai souffert, car l’histoire est vraiment cruelle.
Un genre de Desperate Housewives version hardcore. Presque tous les personnages mentent ou s’aveuglent. Ils pensent tous à préserver leur apparence. L’ambivalence des mères est particulièrement scrutée ici, les pères sont plutôt fallots ou faux-culs. L’amitié féminine devient un truc malsain où l’on se compare. L’idée de l’enfant comme vitrine de la réussite parentale est probablement celle qui m’a le plus plu, que j’ai trouvée la plus juste, et la plus complexe.
Bref, j’ai trouvé le récit hyper bien construit, bien ficelé, haletant, les défauts humains très bien épinglés. Mais je crois que j’ai trouvé ça trop noir. Ce condensé de malaise m’a un peu oppressée à vrai dire.
Roman très habile et culotté, un peu trop brutal pour moi. Il manque peut-être un ou deux personnages pas trop naze qui aurait pu donner de l’espoir, ça ne m’aurait pas dérangée.

Eu lembro pouca coisa mais sobre como ele veio ao mundo. Eu me lembro de tudo a respeito de como ele o deixou.

name the books! give me dat trauma
Ask and you shall receive!
Inferno : A Memoir of Motherhood and Madness by Catherine Cho
A non-fiction recounting of post partum psychosis after a lifetime of undealt with trauma. There's a particularly rough description of a C-section where a nurse warns her it'll feel a bit like someone's rooting around for something in a purse and I had to put the book down and walkway for a while lol
The Need by Helen Phillips
A dual timeline trippy domestic horror about a sleep deprived mother home alone with her two young children when she believes there to be an intruder in the house, and the day leading up to the event where she's unearthing possibly other dimensional relics from an archaeology dig, including a bible with a reference to God being a 'She' and dealing with the kind of people that attracts. The imagery fucked me up in this one, I also find that implied doubt of woman's sanity exhausting to read lol. Don't read if you can't tolerate ambiguity mind lol, it gets weird.
The Push by Ashley Audrain
Psychological drama about a woman who has never been able to connect with her eldest child, believing that her daughter might be evil, and how the family falls apart when tragedy strikes their youngest child and she believes her daughter had something to do with it. Basically hundreds of pages of how many ways a woman can be seen and treated as a failure/pariah if they don't fulfil their roles easily and without complaint.
And lastly
Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
An unnamed woman trying to balance her career ambitions with motherhood notices changes in her body that lead her to believe she's turning into a dog. I can't really say more than that without spoilers lol. It's very fairytale-ish, it's not a werewolf story, and it probably hits harder if you're actually a mother lol.

The Push - Ashley Audrain
Blythe Connor is determined that she will be the warm, comforting mother to her new baby Violet that she herself never had. But in the thick of motherhood’s exhausting early days, Blythe becomes convinced that something is wrong with her daughter–she doesn’t behave like most children do. Or is it all in Blythe’s head? Her husband, Fox, says she’s imagining things. The more Fox dismisses her fears, the more Blythe begins to question her own sanity, and the more we begin to question what Blythe is telling us about her life as well. Then their son Sam is born–and with him, Blythe has the blissful connection she’d always imagined with her child. Even Violet seems to love her little brother. But when life as they know it is changed in an instant, the devastating fall-out forces Blythe to face the truth. The Push is a tour de force you will read in a sitting, an utterly immersive novel that will challenge everything you think you know about motherhood, about what we owe our children, and what it feels like when women are not believed.

Nothing! Fantastic read with no complaints.
Rating: 5/5

“But more than any proof she has, is a feeling. She’d once heard them described as the whispers—the moments that are trying to tell you something isn’t right here. The problem is that some women aren’t listening to what their lives are trying to tell them. They don’t hear the whispers until they’re looking back with hindsight. Feeling blindsided. Desperate to see the truth for what it is.”

Qui trop embrase mal éteint – Jean-Marie Audrain
Cette femme envahissait les réseaux sociaux
Dressant un tableau larmoyant de sa vie
Demandant non pas de l’argent directement
Mais de lui trouver des gens
Des abonnés à qui réclamer
Des euros sonnants et trébuchants
Par centaines sinon rien.
Elle savait cibler son monde
Les généreux chrétiens bisounours
Prompts à la compassion
Sensibles aux larmes et aux images
Veuvage et affamage en…

“It is often said that the first sound we hear in the womb is our mother’s heartbeat. Actually, the first sound to vibrate our newly developed hearing apparatus is the pulse of our mother’s blood through her veins and arteries. We vibrate to that primordial rhythm even before we have ears to hear. Before we were conceived, we existed in part as an egg in our mother’s ovary. All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother. This means our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother. Each of us spent five months in our grandmother’s womb and she in turn formed within the womb of her grandmother. We vibrate to the rhythms of our mother’s blood before she herself is born. . . .” ~The Push, by Ashley Audrain.
