One thing that I think I will always suffer over while being in fandom is reading porn with characters having goofy-ass names
Like I am eternally 13, I will always be laughing over the word “cock” if I’m reading it in a story
I will also always be laughing over characters with silly made up names no matter how long I’ve been in the fandom
So like, when it comes to reading a story, I can read about “cock” or I can read about “HiggleBiggle” but if I gotta read about “HiggleBiggle’s cock” there is no way I’m getting through the entire thing with a straight face I’m sorry
Lol it’s like that video going around about moanable names during sex. If I’m reading a fic and one of the characters is going “oooh BLERGAPHUS” there is no way in hell I am going to be able to stay in the zone I’m sorry it just looks so sillyyyyy
(Also this is NOT a post making fun of real names from non-English speaking cultures. Fuck outta here with that xenophobic shit. This is a post about suffering being in fandoms like Star Wars and dealing with your porn being full of made up names like “Obi Wan” which is unfortunately a stupid as hell name and nobody can prove me wrong)
#y'all KNOW this to be true i SEE y'all calling him Ben when you can in modern!AUs you KNOW it's dumb 😭#star wars#and it's not just star wars too it's like any fantasy fandom where the names are made up#or old timey fandom with english names that are just so WEIRD#morai musings

Undertale Yellow Car Headcanons 2
People liked the first one, so I figured I'd go do a few more to cover some folks I missed and add some extras for ones I already covered. Kudos to a friend on Discord who's a massive car nut and suggested quite a few of these. First one in case you haven't seen it.
This one's a bit chonkier, so grab a snack or something.
Martlet: Electric Bike
Even if Martlet getting her hands on a driver's license is nigh impossible, we figured she should at least have something, even if she doesn't use it that much. Electric bikes seem to fit her style. Dunno if she'd use it often, but if the surface has no-fly laws or whatever, it'd probably help her out some.
Toriel: 2CV
...okay, Tori isn't really a UTY-exclusive character, but she has a minor role in the game, so does she count? Anyway, my friend had the idea of her using what they described as 'everybody's favorite little wine snail' and I think it fits her too well.
Chujin: Loud Ass 90s Tuner Car
If Chujin didn't inject raw Mountain Dew Voltage into his soul and survived to see the surface, he'd probably drive something like this. It ties in with the whole Ben 10 thing and it's a great way to express himself, as obnoxious as it may be. Usually, Ceroba makes him drive the family sedan.
Ceroba: If She Owned the Hummer (Semi-Joke one)
I meant for it as a shitpost, but we thought up an idea if she actually did own the car. Don't worry, she always looks before merging. Anyway, we figured she got it mainly because it's pretty cool. However, it is a massive waste of gas money, so she only uses it for camping or driving Kanako and Clover around on their birthdays. Otherwise, it mainly collects dust in her garage while she uses the more fuel-efficient sedan.
El Bailador: Lowrider
Kudos to @cheddarchandelure for suggesting this and it couldn't fit any better. Lowriders fit him like a glove. You know he just has this thing modded like crazy. It's nearly 20 feet of car, too. You don't get much more expressive than that.
Feisty Five: GMC Vandura
I gave the Feisty Five individual vehicles, but they also kinda need a car for the whole gang and what better vehicle for a group of crime fighting dinguses. Perfect for missions, lassons, or just hanging out as a group together. Starlo technically owns it, but usually Moray or Ace drive the thing.
Ace: Antique Mercedes
Okay, I know I technically already did Ace in the first part, but my friend suggested an Antique Mercedes, which I think fits a lot better than the Porche. I'll let you guys draw your own conclusions, tho.
Moray: SLK Roadster
Still a convertible, but I didn't like the image I used in the last one. So now we got a specific model for our favorite fish with no gender.
Mooch: Pretty Much Anything, but here's a Corolla
On the chance that Mooch somehow gets her license back, she'd be willing to drive whatever. Hopefully more responsibly this time around.
Dina: 5th Gen Mustang
My friend suggested that a classier style of muscle car would fit better than the more aggressive model I used in the first, and I think it suits her more laid-back nature well.
Blackjack: Antique Flatbed
It's been in his family for generations, and he's way too attached to the thing to get rid of it. Generally, he just fixes up anything that breaks down on him.
Starlo's Family: Uh...Trucks
The main workhorses for the Sunnyside Farm. Sure, they got a few dents and aren't the cleanest or most advanced, but hey, they get the job done. Mainly driven by Solomon and Orion, occasionally Starlo. The Cabover (bottom) is generally used for the big harvests and the pickup works for everything else.
Mo: C4 Corvette
The perfect car for a sleazy businessman! Well, not sleazy, but you get what I mean. He likes to act stylish with his choice of car, but his is constantly breaking down mechanically, since he doesn't really bother fixing the thing, just detailing it. Doesn't leave the best impressions for shoppers.
Honeydew Shopkeeper: Figaro
Why? Well, simple, it's small and cute, just like she is! Not much else to say beyond that.
Kanako: '70 Dodge Challenger
Kanako's still a bit too young to drive, but we settled on this for a dream car of hers, with both a road and track package. She got the idea from both the racing games she plays and Dina's own muscle car. Nobody understands why, But she really wants to visit San Francisco with it
Clover: Ford Galaxie Convertible
Figured we should do Clover's dream car as well. Not much a reasoning, we thought this just fit their style. Once they come of age, you know darn well they'll be racing Kanako.
Warned ya that would be a big one! Anyway, lemme know what y'all think!

The Challenge was a series III episode of Yes Minister (1982), in which Jim Hacker’s Department of Administrative Affairs assumes general oversight of local authorities. As Ludovic Kennedy (playing himself as BBC interviewer) points out, Hacker is now ‘Mr Townhall as well as Mr Whitehall’.
Echoing the Thatcher government’s zeal to reform the local government sector, Hacker is determined to make councils more efficient and to curb their extravagance. The Cabinet Secretary and Sir Humphrey are not so keen, worried that any reforms, such as direct financial accountability for the success or failure of council projects, could be extended to the civil service as a whole.
To deflect his attention, Jim Hacker is urged to tackle the largely ridiculed and tricky business of civil defence, in particular the provision of public fall-out shelters by local authorities, and is sent to confront the leader of the London Borough of Thames Marsh, Ben Stanley, over their anti-nuclear activism and budget blowouts. Stanley was reportedly based on Ken Livingstone, leader of the ill-fated Greater London Council.
There are a couple of interesting cameos, aside from Ludovic Kennedy, and Moray Watson as a BBC controller. Ian Lavender (Private Pike from Dad’s Army) plays Dr Cartwright, a departmental economics boffin doomed to spend his entire career as a middling undersecretary. “I fear I shall rise no higher,” he explained sadly to Jim Hacker, “Alas, I’m an expert.”
Ben Stanley, the unilateralist leader of Thames Marsh Council is played by Doug Fisher (Man About the House), and is unimpressed by Cartwright’s suggestions on how to save ratepayers' money, which include closing the feminist drama centre, abandoning plans for a leisure centre featuring an artificial ski slope and jacuzzi, closing the gay bereavement centre, selling the Mayor’s second Daimler, and cancelling a councillors’ fact-finding junket to the Caribbean.
The episode lampoons the council’s hypocrisy in taking an anti-nuclear stance while providing fall-out shelter space solely for the leader and some senior councillors. Paul Eddington himself (Jim Hacker) was a Quaker pacifist, and in a later interview recalled that he was very uncomfortable with the way the writers (Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn) had ridiculed the anti-nuclear issue and peace activism, and that they had allowed their own political bias to influence the story. Eddington objected, and some moderating changes were made to the final script.

October 3rd 1594 saw the Battle of Glenlivet, George Gordon, Earl of Huntly, defeated a Royalist force under 7th Earl of Argyll.
The Battle of Glenlivet is significant as an example of the ongoing struggles within Scotland between Presbyterians and Catholics, which colours much of Scotland’s history after the Reformation, and the relentless efforts of the kirk to eliminate the Catholic faith from the country. It also highlights the complex nature of the relationships between Catholic and Protestant powers across Europe at this time. It is also significant as the first battle in the Highlands of Scotland where artillery appears to have played a part in the action, and archaeological evidence of this may well survive on the battlefield.
So was it was an all Scottish affair between the Catholic forces of George Gordon, 1st marquess of Huntly, and Frances Hay, 9th earl of Erroll, and the Protestant army of Archibald Campbell, 7th earl of Argyll., loyal to James VI.
Two years before Glenlivet, Huntly´s relationship with the King had been on a good footing, when he received a commission to apprehend James Stewart, the ´bonny´ Earl of Moray, and bring him to trial. However, Huntly was responsible for Moray´s death at Donibristle, in Fife, slashing him across the face with his sword and eliciting, allegedly, these last words from Moray; “Ye hae spoilt a better face than yer ain.”
Two years later, in 1594, Huntly was a ´Catholic rebel´. The perceived danger to Scotland was the distinct possibility of foreign support for the disenfranchised Catholics, through the intervention of Philip II of Spain. The decree of the 12th of November, 1593, by which Catholics were ordered to give up their faith or leave the Scotland, contributed to significant unrest and Huntly refused to comply.
The earls of Argyll and Atholl were commissioned with the Lieutenancy of the North to deal with rebel Catholics such as Huntly. This programme of suppression escalated into a campaign, led by Argyll, against Huntly and other rebel lords and clan allies. The two sides encountered one another on a hillside near Ben Rinnes, where Huntly had laid an ambush for Argyll as he climbed the hill. In the battle Huntly used his horse to great effect in the confined space of a pass and entirely routed Argyll´s troops. The king´s forces were unable to withstand the cavalry lances and were driven off the hill. During that panic-stricken retreat, they are said to have thrown their weapons into a small lochan, which became known as ´The Loch of the Swords´. According to one tradition a weeping Argyll was led from the field.

Lá vou eu alfinetar as naturalizações.
E olha que gostei da frase - tanto q to postando, só acho que ela tá no "tempo" futuro e imagino se será na geração dos meus bisnetos. Errarei?
Num mundo cada vez + complexo e interconectado, "todos nós" enfrentamos uma série de desafios éticos e morais né?
Estes desafios podem ser especialmente difíceis de navegar qdo se trata de confrontar e resistir a sistemas de opressão (já imaginei alguns se coçando para fugir e outros sorrindo, só leia a legenda até o fim).
Imagine-se, por um momento, em um supermercado. Como vc escolhe o que comprar?
Você considera a origem dos produtos, quem os fabricou, e em que condições? Pensa no impacto ambiental da produção desses bens, na distância q percorreram para chegar até vc?
E no poder que as grandes corporações têm sobre a economia global e as vidas de incontáveis trabalhadores?
Agora pense sobre as outras esferas da sua vida.
Em que tipos de sistemas de crenças e estruturas de poder vc participa, mesmo sem querer ou, querendo?
Como suas ações cotidianas podem reforçar sistemas de opressão como o patriarcado, o racismo, a segregação por meio da crença e a desigualdade econômica?
Estas ñ são questões fáceis de se responder.
As realidades de viver numa sociedade complexa e interconectada significa que é qse impossível evitar completamente todas as formas de participação em sistemas opressivos. Será que é?
Às vezes, mesmo as escolhas mais bem-intencionadas têm consequências imprevistas.
No entanto, essa complexidade não deveria nos desencorajar.
Em vez disso, deve nos impulsionar a refletir mais profundamente sobre nossas ações e nossas escolhas.
Devemos questionar as estruturas de poder e injustiça, não apenas em nível global, mas tbém em nossas vidas cotidianas.
E enquanto navegamos por estas questões complexas, também devemos ter compaixão por nós mesmos e pelos outros.
A perfeição é um objetivo inatingível, mas a reflexão e a ação conscientes nos leva a melhorar a nós mesmos e ao mundo ao nosso redor.
Confrontar sistemas opressivos é um processo contínuo, e cada passo que damos em direção a um mundo mais justo e equitativo é um passo em outra direção.

Après ces 5 jours bien remplis, nous avons décidé de nous poser une journée ! ...
... Vous y avez cru hein ? Nous avons donc passé la journée dans la Vallée Sacrée Inca, commençant à 6h30 dans le bus \o/ (oui, on aime souffrir)
Nous voici d'abord en route pour le petit village de Chichero, à la très belle église qu'on ne peut pas visiter. A l'arrivée des espagnols, suite à la construction de ce monument, ils ont décidé de raser tout ce qui aurait pu bloquer la vue (non mais), on a donc plein de petits murets en pierre un peu courts sur patte à côté ...
On a le droit à un bel exemple de village aux maisons en adobe et argile, et à une sacrée quantité de terrasses. Ici, pour monter que les Incas étaient proches du peuple (qu'ils avaient viré du centre ville Manu militari), ils organisaient un ou deux banquets par an sur la place centrale. Trop gentil.
Ensuite, on a fait un petit tour par une collectivité de tisserands, où on nous a gentiment expliqué que les alpagas n'étant roses ou bleus qu'en cas de surconsommation de pisco sour (le cocktail national), il fallait teindre la laine. On a aussi appris que la laine de bébé alpaga est tellement fine que tissée comme il faut, on dirait de la soie !
Ensuite, on remonte dans la voiture, et direction les salines de Maras ! Bon, ben c'est du sel qui sèche au soleil, mais il vient d'une source au centre de la montagne, c'est tout de suite plus la classe. Et mine de rien, il y en a 3500 des petits bacs quand même ! (En vrai c'était mon arrêt préféré de la journée, c'était magnifique)
Après une pause déjeuner où nous avons honteusement grugé toute la queue sur les conseils de notre guide, et manqué lancer une révolution et une lapidation généralisée, nous sommes allés visiter le temple du soleil de Ollantaytambo.
Bon, c'est dommage, comme les Incas ont commencé une guerre civile entre deux frères qui voulaient être calife à la place du calife, la main d'oeuvre est partie en guerre plutôt qu'en construction de temples ... donc ils ne l'ont pas fini. Une fois de plus, on avait de très jolies terrasses (pour faire pousser du maïs sacré, c'est comme du maïs normal mais à côté d'un temple), et une superbe vue sur la montagne d'en face. A noter que les greniers de stockage y étaient positionnés (à perpète donc, ça fait des jolies fesses), pour profiter du vent sec qui favorisait la conservation des grains.
On est aussi passés par Moray, un ancien site agricole construit dans un lac asséché. Ça leur permettait de protéger les cultures des vents glaciaux qui parcouraient la région, pratique. Pour construire les terrasses, on pose des gros rochers tout en bas et de la terre en haut, en formant un joli gradient, ça permet de faire un système naturel de drainage ! Comme ça, quand ils inondaient les champs, l'eau ne stagnait jamais ...
Notre dernier arrêt de la journée, c'est Pisac, une ville et terrasses encore plus grande que le Machu Picchu en superficie ... bon, comme vous pourrez le constater, on a pris la pluie, on n'en a donc pas vu grand chose !
De retour à Cusco vers 18h30, juste à temps pour récupérer notre linge propre (❣️)et manger une -> RACLETTE<-, nous voici finalement dans un bus de nuit pour le lac Titicaca ! (On vous a dit qu'on était masos ?)

O que é uma pessoa virtuosa para Aristóteles?
O homem bom e virtuoso é aquele que alia inteligência e força, que utiliza adequadamente sua riqueza para aperfeiçoar seu intelecto. A virtude, ou a excelência moral, resulta do hábito, de sua prática.
Consideramos bens aquelas atividades da alma, a felicidade identifica-se com a virtude, pois à virtude pertence à atividade virtuosa. ... A felicidade é uma atividade virtuosa da alma; os demais bens são a condição dela, ou são úteis como instrumentos para sua realização.
Ser virtuoso é simplesmente uma virtude. É na convivência,ou seja, na prática de bons atos, é que vamos crescendo e nos tornando virtuosos. É uma força habitual que não desaparece com facilidade. Em nossas essências alimentamos, dia após dia, a construção da própria 'virtú'.
As virtudes humanas básicas das pessoas são:
• benevolência.
• justiça.
• paciência.
• sinceridade.
• responsabilidade.
• otimismo.
• sabedoria.
• respeito.
Virtude é uma qualidade moral, um atributo positivo de um indivíduo. ... A virtude intelectual consiste na capacidade de aprender com o diálogo e a reflexão em busca do verdadeiro conhecimento. A virtude moral, por sua vez, é a ação ou comportamento moral, é o hábito que é considerado bom de acordo com a ética.
As quatro virtudes cardeais:
Além da Fortaleza, as outras virtudes Cardeais são a Prudência (sabedoria e bom-senso para realizar o que é correto); a Justiça (que é a busca pelo bem comum, sobrepondo-se às necessidades individuais) e a Temperança (que é a moderação atingida através do autocontrole e da maturidade).
A teoria da virtude enfatiza a crença de Aristóteles na polis como o apogeu da organização política e o papel das virtudes em capacitar os seres humanos a florescer nesse ambiente.
Entre as virtudes morais podemos destacar algumas que são de suma importância para a ética. São elas as seguintes: A coragem, a temperança, a liberalidade, a magnificência, o justo orgulho, a calma, a veracidade, a espirituosidade, a modéstia, a justa indignação e a justiça.

Asking ab storyshift here, I think it’s such a cool idea and you seem to have visualized the settings very well!!! Do you have any specific ideas for the designs of the characters, or even just things that you would/wouldn’t keep from their original designs?
Thanks for the ask! I do indeed have character visual changes in mind! (Also, don't wanna be that guy, but the AU is called SequenceShift).
Ceroba
When it comes to the Empress herself, she wears a black mourning Kimono, which she's had on since Kanako's passing. She did wear a lot more colorful outfits before that, however, and she did wear her signature red and white yukata in more casual settings.
During her boss fight (she's fought on all three routes), she trades it out for a set of Samurai-style armor (Undyne and the rest of the Honor Guard wear similar outfits, albeit not as fancy as the Empress's)
Along with that, she weilds a naginata, which I thought would be a good balance between her canonical staff and Asgore's trident.
Chujin
Chujin is roughly the same when out in the Remnants, wearing his trademark green kimono. At home, he's got the whole divorce fit. Bathrobe, PJ pants, slippers, ect. He's taking care of himself, of course, he's just not super active these days. During his fight, he wears a gauntlet-based device (yes, based off of the Ben 10 Omnitrix) that amplifies his lightning attacks.
Starlo (and the Feisty Five in general)
When it comes to the Royal Rangers, I was thinking of having them wear something along the lines of the NCR Veteran Ranger armor from New Vegas, the coat over armor kinda thing.
While they are a bit more uniform in Sequence Shift, they all wear custom elements with their armor sets. For example, Starlo still wears his poncho, Ed ripped off the sleeves of his outfit, Ace and Mooch still have their scarves, all of 'em keep their canon hats, ect.
They also all have different outfits which they wear off-duty (and during their reunion), but we only got Moray so far: they wear a zipperless hoodie (with the hood up) and jeans. My BF really wanted to see Moray in a hoodie so there, hehe.
Also, Mooch dual wields a dagger and sawed-off shotgun in this AU (you'll only see the later on a Vengeance run tho).
Martlet
I don't have any photos of it, but since Martlet's more of a hand-on engineering scientist, she wears more of a mechanic outfit than. Something sturdy and protect, since we all know this girl failure is very much prone to hurting herself and that isn't any different in SS. And goggles, those are important, too.
Also, since I am very much a fan of the amputee Martlet headcanon, she's one here, too. She's got a set of fancy metal prosthetic legs that she built with the help of Chujin.
Axis
Axis's base form is pretty identical to how he is in canon. His EX form is where it gets a bit different. My boyfriend being the robot nerd he is, took a bit of Gundam inspiration, as well as somewhat basing it off of Mic Sounders from “king of the braves gao gai gar” (transforming from a cutesy robot into a more proper humanoid robot).
His NEO form (which may or may not be a proper boss fight) is gonna be based off a high-end Gundam or Armored Core, but we don't have any specific inspiration just yet.
Kanako
Kanako doesn't have any changes at first. While she does have some major differences as Iris (her Flowey Form) we're still working on that. However, we do have ideas for her Pacifist route encounter, where she emerges as the Liberator of Monsterkind (her version of Asriel's God of Hyperdeath). She pulls up in a Tokusatsu-style superhero form, with a purposefully overdesigned and cluttered look that only a child absolutely would think is awesome.
And that's it for the main cast. I don't think Clover needs an outfit change, but I might add a few knick-knacks and accessories that they pick up along their journey. I don't think Dalv needs any major changes either. If there's any other characters you wanna know about, do lemme know!
Also, I'm not an artist, but if anyone wants to take a crack at some SS designs, feel free to hit me up!

One of the roles of a noblewoman in the medieval world was to manage her lord husband’s lands while he was away at war.
Despite their defeat in 1314 by King Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn, English forces returned to Scotland in 1338 intent on conquering the Scots. On 13 January they arrived outside the mighty gates of Dunbar Castle near the fallen town of Berwick expecting an easy victory. But Black Agnes,, Countess of Dunbar and March, thus nicknamed for her dark hair and complexion, was not about to give them one.
The English demanded that Agnes surrender. She had few guards inside the castle to help her, but she sent back this somewhat poetic reply:
“Of Scotland’s King I haud my house,
He pays me meat and fee,
And I will keep my gude auld house,
while my house will keep me.”
The Earl of Salisbury, who commanded the attackers, answered her rebuff by launching stones at the castle walls. As the catapults stopped firing, Agnes sent her maids to dust off the battlements with white handkerchiefs. When Salisbury tried to bring down her walls with a ram, Agnes had huge boulders thrown down to smash the English machinery.
Having previously captured her brother, the Earl of Moray, the English paraded him in front of Agnes’s walls and threatened to kill him unless she surrendered. She simply shrugged and told them to go ahead, as when her childless brother died, she would inherit his lands and title. Salisbury quickly recognised the flaw in his argument and let the Earl live.
The siege dragged on, after five months of trying, Salisbury realised that he would never get the better of Agnes, so the would be conquerors marched away.

A froita prohibida
vimeo
Que hai máis san que unha froita? E máis saboroso? Sabémolo ben. Para ambientar a escrita deste artigo collín un acio de uvas pretas do país, que estamos a entrar na tempada, e vou comendo un par de uviñas por parágrafo.
Existen moitos arquetipos relacionados coa comida, pois é unha das funcións básicas para o mantemento da vida humana. O da froita, concretamente, é moi especial, porque leva moitos anos con nós, dende que eramos pouco máis que recolectores antes da invención da agricultura. Na literatura máis antiga xa atopamos o primeiro grande arquetipo froiteiro: a mazá de Eva, a árbore do coñecemento, o froito prohibida e o castigo por acceder a ela.
Hai varias maneiras de abordar este tema; poderiamos facer unha lista de froitas e o simbolismo habitual asociado a cada unha, por exemplo. As uvas que estou a comer préstanme como a un dirixente romano deitado no seu triclinio, desfrutando do pracer decadente. Xa temos un cliché. E se despois como un plátano, terei que ter coidado de onde boto a pela, non vaia ser que alguén lle dea por esvarar nela con efecto cómico. Neste sentido, aparte das mencionadas, poderiamos contar entre as froitas máis agradecidas para o cinema á mazá –a máis popular–, o amorodo, a granada, a laranxa ou o pexego.
Porén, penso que é máis práctico ir por partes. Que simbolizou a froita, de maneira xeral, dende case o comezo? A resposta é múltiple: vida, fertilidade, abundancia... cando no verán había froita era porque a xeada invernal non estragara a colleita. A proliferación da froita está relacionada coa prosperidade, pero tamén coa vida en si mesma: a fertilidade das prantas, o nacemento, a verde xuventude e a madurez –utilizamos as mesmas palabras para referirnos ás persoas e aos froitos da terra– e a decadencia en forma de podremia. A froita a podrecer, así como as flores a murchar, son imaxes que forman parte do noso universo simbólico á hora de representar o declive e a morte das cousas.
En canto á abundancia e prosperidade, está claro que unha mesa ben luxosa está incompleta sen a súa fonte de froita. Polo mesmo motivo, en certos contextos narrativos unha soa mazá pode ser o mellor regalo, sobre todo se a personaxe que a recibe non adoita ter a capacidade de adquirila por si mesmo. Isto é habitual, por exemplo, no cinema infantil ou de animación. É unha maneira sinxela de expresar agradecemento ou caridade.
Agora deixo por aquí unha pequena advertencia, pois toca falar de cousas relativas á sexualidade humana.
Porque a froita relaciónase coa fertilidade, como xa mencionamos, pero tamén co pracer. O pracer decadente das uvas nos péplum e mailo pracer de tipo sexual. Tense falado máis ou menos erroneamente dos alimentos afrodisíacos, entre os que se conta habitualmente a froita. Se cadra é un efecto máis intelectual e psicolóxico que biolóxico, na miña opinión máis ilustrada en arquetipos e narrativas que en nutrición. Froita como o amorodo, o pexego, a granada, forman parte do imaxinario erótico debido –entre outros factores– aos estímulos sensoriais que ten en común o comer unha froita coas prácticas sexuais humanas. O son, o tacto, a textura, o xugo... Se volvemos, ademais, ao mito bíblico de Adán e Eva, temos redondeado o sistema simbólico. A froita é o reflexo da tentación, a miúdo con nefastas consecuencias das que nos preveñen as fábulas e os contos con leccións morais. Unha mostra é o conto de fadas de Brancaneves, que tamén tivo o seu paso polo cinema, e que nos mostra o fácil e o perigoso que é caer na tentación da mazá da Raíña Malvada. A tentación tamén se veu representada a miúdo na narrativa pola granada que consumíu Perséfone para ficar –voluntariamente ou non, xa sabedes que os mitos teñen moitas versións– todos os invernos canda Hades no Inframundo helénico. É a mesma granada que aparece en Kingdom of Heaven (Ridley Scott, 2005).
Seguramente aqueles encargados de censurar a narrativa cinematográfica no Hollywood clásico, o do Código Hays, sabían ben desta relación entre froita, sensualidade e tentación, polo que non abondan as representacións da froita na narrativa cinematográfica deste período. É curioso como, nos últimos tempos, o pexego tomara o relevo á mazá como froita da sensualidade e da tentación. Terá que ver con que, a nivel popular, se relacione a miúdo o emoji do pexego á anatomía humana e ao erotismo? Quen o sabe!
Saíndo deste eido, existe un cliché bastante estendido relacionado coa froita no cinema: que os viláns sempre andan a comer mazás. Explícome! Nos últimos anos foi un recurso bastante utilizado para caracterizar unha personaxe, non necesariamente negativa, mais sí unha persoa sen filtros, despreocupada, confiada. Non coñezo exactamente o motivo tras desta caracterización, pero cando vexo unha personaxe a trabar ruidosamente unha mazá, podo imaxinar que, canto menos, non é o tipo de persoa que se preocupa polo que pensen os demais. Unha característica propia dos viláns máis estereotípicos do cinema mainstream.
Cómpre destacar que en ocasións a froita adquire determinados simbolismos propios como as laranxas que aparecen cada vez que alguén corre perigo de morte en The Godfather (Francis Ford Coppola, 1972) ou as mazás da sorte que regala a personaxe de Bette Davis en Pocketful of Miracles (Frank Capra, 1961). Unha personaxe que visualmente é comparable á meiga de Brancaneves, pero representa os valores contrarios.
Finalmente, a froita aporta un valor visual importante: a cor. Cando a cor comezou a ser incorporada na cinematografía, a froita destacou como elemento favorito dos directores de fotografía naquelas producións a toda cor para deslumbrar ao espectador. De feito, un dos primeiros experimentos coa cor no cinema son as curtas sobre flores e froitas da Gaumont, entre 1912 e 1913.
Cada elemento da nosa cotiandade é susceptible de converterse nun arquetipo e de aportar significado, simbolismo ou valores visuais a unha produción cinematográfica. O simple efecto de comer unha froita convértese, nas mans do cinema, nunha escena transcendental.
E marcho, porque acabo de rematar o acio de uvas. Até o vindeiro episodio!
