Nova paced the room, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. She’d been doing this since she’d arrived home from school at 3:15, it was currently about to hit 5pm. She knew her mother would give her a huge telling off once she was home from work.

Carlos sat on her bed, watching her helplessly. He had tried doing everything within his power to calm her down, even using his gift to shift into her just to make her laugh- which usually worked a treat, he loved seeing her laugh. He eyed her, “Look, maybe it won’t be as bad as you think.” Carlos told her for the 50th time in the past hour.

“Carlos, I skipped classes to go to the nurse’s office, I didn’t tell Noemi where I was for the whole duration of that and then I sprinted home just so she wouldn’t have to see my face like this. The school will have notified my parents somehow of my absence, or worse, they’ll give a ‘your child was sent to the nurse's office today’ slip to Noemi to bring home.” She reminded him.

He sighed, running a hand down his face as he ruffled his hair slightly, “I still can’t believe he did that to you.” Carlos groaned.

“I can’t believe you nearly killed him, you could’ve been suspended!” Nova exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air to emphasise the seriousness of what he did.

“It would’ve been worth it.” Carlos shrugged, nonchalantly.

Nova shook her head, a fond smile on her face as she stared at her best friend of eight years. Her eyes soon drifted to glance out of her bedroom window, “they’re back.” She told him.

She glanced over her shoulder, staring at the door, her left eye was covered by her red hair as she waited for her mother to fling the door open.

It didn’t take long. The door was thrown open and in walked her… sister?

“Where were you today, Nova?! I was worried sick!” The smaller girl whispered as she threw her arms around her sister.

Nova took in her scent of sunflowers as she slowly wrapped her arms around her sister's frame, “I’m fine, Noemi. There was just a problem at school, that’s all.” She reassured the brunette as she pulled out of the hug.

“What happened?” Noemi questioned.

“That’s what I’d like to know too.” Nova heard from behind her, she quickly whipped her head around at the voice, her hair flying away from her face momentarily- only realising what had happened when she heard Noemi gasp loudly.

Nova turned to Carlos, giving him a hopeful look. He watched her before nodding and standing up, “Hey, Noemi. I heard Cami say he was gonna be at the flower garden before tía Julieta makes dinner, shall we go and join him?” He asked, placing a hand on the younger girl's shoulder.

“C-camilo? Are you sure?” She asked, hesitantly turning her attention away from Nova. The older girl soon felt a pair of hands on her cheeks, inspecting her face.

“Yeah, he likes to go there to relax and watch the butterflies.” Carlos responded, guiding her out of the room.

He glanced over his shoulder and watched Nova’s face distort in discomfort before he followed Noemi down the stairs and out of the door.

Nova stared at her mother, “who did this to you?” Her mother asked her.

“Just some boy from school. I missed classes because I was in the nurse's office.” She let Sofia know.

“I want a name, Novalee.” Sofia responded, sternly.

Nova gulped, using her full name, she knew her mother wasn’t messing around, “Lukas, Lukas Gonzalez.” Nova sighed, pulling her face from her mother’s grip.

“The farmer’s son?” She asked. Nova nodded. “I’m going down there to have a word, meanwhile, your father will take you to Julieta’s stall so it can heal properly.” She told her, turning on her heel and leaving the room.

Nova stared after her, throwing her head back and letting out a groan before sprinting after her, “Mamá, don’t! You’ll make it worse, plus, Carlos already stuck up for me!” Nova pleaded, staring at her mother.

“Novalee, you are eleven years old and a boy has seriously harmed you with what I can only assume was a knife. I’m not letting this go unpunished.” Sofia told her.

“He hasn’t gone unpunished, Carlos dealt with it!” Nova exclaimed. “Please mami, don’t go there with all guns blazing.” She pleaded, grabbing her mother’s arm gently.

Sofia sighed, staring at her daughter, “okay, fine. Let’s just get you to Julieta’s stall.”

“She won’t be there now, mamá. Plus, I kinda like the thought of the scar.” Nova shrugged, a small smile playing on her lips.

Sofia eyed her daughter, shaking her head before groaning, “Fine, come on, we need to get some ice on that and hope it doesn’t get worse- if it does, you’ll be seeing Julieta immediately.” She let her know as the pair of them began walking back towards their home.

The pair arrived home and Nova was immediately handed some ice as she sat down on the couch beside her father, “rough day, kiddo?” The older man asked, looking up from his newspaper and seeing his middle child with ice covering half of her face.

“Like you wouldn’t believe.” Nova mumbled, letting a small smile show from behind the ice as she rested her head on her fathers shoulder and began to read the newspaper with him.

Later that night, the twins lay in their bunk bed. Nova held tightly to a stuffed leopard that her father had bought her for her third birthday, she held the leopard close to her chest as she closed her eyes, trying her hardest to drift off to sleep.

“What happened for Lukas to slice you?” Noemi asked from beneath her.

Nova’s eyes flickered open once more before she opened her mouth to speak, “We were having a fight,” Nova told her sister, “he pulled his penknife out and decided to take a swing at me.” Nova let her know.

“What were you fighting about?” Noemi questioned.

“Uh, he said some shit about Carlos,” Nova shrugged, “I wasn’t gonna stand for it so I threw a punch.”

“You really like him, huh?” Noemi asked, cocking a brow.

Nova sighed, hiding the smile on her face with the leopard even though she knew her sister couldn’t see her, “What about you and Camilo, huh? I saw the way your eyes lit up when Carlos mentioned he’d be at the flower garden.” Nova responded. A soft squeal came from the bunk beneath her, causing a satisfied smile to cross Nova’s face as a soft chuckle left the redhead's mouth.

“I don’t know what it is about him, Nova. He just… he brings me so much happiness and joy. He’s cute and talented and just adorable. I mean, how couldn’t you like him?” Noemi gushed.

Nova rolled her eyes adoringly before a smile settled on her face, “Don’t worry, Noe, I’m sure he feels the same about you. How could he not? You’re adorable.” Nova told the slightly younger girl.

Noemi shook her head, a smile adorning her features as she rolled onto her side, “Goodnight, Nova.” She told the older girl, quickly drifting into a deep sleep.

Nova yawned slightly, “Goodnight.” She whispered as she began tossing and turning, trying her best to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

“Nova! Novalee!” Nova heard her mamá’s frantic calls of her name.

“Mamá! Papá!” Nova called out, trying her best to stay on the surface of the water.

“Nova! Where are you?!” Her father’s worried voice rang out.

Nova tried to scream out, tried to call out to them but water began to fill her lungs. Panic quickly set in within the young girl as she fought for air, trying her best to make it back to the surface of the river. Her arms flailed frantically, her eyes closing momentarily as she felt her small body hit the riverbed at the bottom.

Nova awoke in a sweat, throwing her body up into a sitting position as her blankets fell from her body, tears slipped down her face and her breathing was heavy.

She slowly reached out for her stuffed leopard, grabbing it within her clammy palms as she slowly made her way down the ladders of her bed. She stared at her sister momentarily before carefully climbing into the younger girl’s bed, Noemi’s eyes flickered open at the newfound weight on her bed. “Another nightmare?” The brunette asked as she pushed herself up and rubbed at her eyes.

“Mmhmm.” Nova nodded sleepily as she curled up beside her sister.

Noemi immediately wrapped her arms around the slightly older girl and began to comb her fingers through the redhead’s sweat covered hair, “It’s okay, No. Everything’s okay. You’re not at that river anymore, you’re safe. I promise. I’m not gonna let anything like that happen to you ever again.” Noemi spoke the words she had reassured the fear stricken older girl with so many times in her life since the incident.

Nova’s breathing began to calm down as she held onto her sister, as if she may disappear at any time. Noemi let out a soft sigh, kissing the older girl’s forehead as she watched her slowly drift into a more comfortable sleep.

Noemi slowly laid her head on the pillow, letting sleep take over her entire being once again as she held her sister close, making sure the older girl was safe from any and all harm.

Nowhere

Viimeisillään paksuna oleva pakolaismuikkeli seilaa yksinään merikontissa keskellä valtamerta. Vittumainen tilanne.

Espanjalainen selviytymistaistelu keskellä-ei-mitään. Traaginen kuvaus ihmiskohtalosta ja tarina periksiantamattomuudesta. Sisältää vedenalaisen synnytyksen ja paljasta tissiä. Siitä huolimatta, tai juuri siitä syystä, ei tee mieli öögailla toiste.

3/5

Some Dreamzzz details that I enjoy (again)

(Beware the read-more, it is somewhat long.)

1) Sign-Up Sheet

Although it says "Parent's Signature", I think all the kids just signed their own names. Nonetheless, the fact that there's words on the page and not just squiggly lines is something I can appreciate.

2) Graffiti

I know there was some Ninjago-inspired graffiti in one of the episodes, but I don't know if this is referencing anything. Either way, it looks cool!

3) Glowy-Cacti

I had thought that this terrain was exclusive to the cyber-realm, but it appears in the candy realm, too.

4) Landing Layout (as of "Short Sheeped")

Loving the way that Cooper's things specifically are just defying gravity.

5 ) Zoey's Cave

Full of things that she, quote, "probably stole."

Among these things are what I believe is a shield,

And a speaker, with a sticker that appears to be a heart and a guitar.

6) Zoey's Stopwatch

The detailing on Zoey's stopwatch is gorgeous, of course; it even has zodiac signs around the outer rim!

7) Pail and Shovel

Among the things Mrs. Castillo throws after Mateo tells her they're looking for the dream forge, there is a shovel and pail set, much like the ones later used by the Forgemaster.

8) Cooper & Nova

In the opening scene of the first episode, after the Masked Hero bumps into Mateo, you can see Cooper talking to Nova in the background.

Alright, end of post. Goodnight!

#just rambling #lego dreamzzz #paying too much attention to detail

People often forget how classy Zé Carioca is - I mean part of that is because he is still partialy the representation of a Brazil so outdated that it became cult, but ignoring the steriotype thing (as I always do) -, yes, he is charismatic, flirty and impulsive and kindda silly, but he is also totaly an intelectual. I don't care what any cannon says if one of the Caballeros studied music theory it was him! Not only that but he focused on brazilian music theory.

Entering in headcanon space: he is also a big reader, a massive fan of the classics (both the english, spanish and portuguese ones) and loves to quote them and talk like a charming characther of any of the novels he's reading at the moment. And he is of course a huge theater AND movie nerd and yes he is the annoying type. He WILL interrupt a conversation about superhero movies - much to Launchpad despair - to talk about brazilian comedy O Auto da Compadessida (it's also a play and my dream it's to play the devil in it) or mexican classic El Castillo de La Pureza or begrundly talk about how great argentinian indie cinema is.

Now it's cannon that he is a massive fan of Bossa Nova and old school samba (yes there is a difference between old school samba and modern samba, no I will not elaborate) and I find fair to infer that he would also be a massive jazz fan and honestly I cannot see him as anything but a Tropicalia guy, maybe classic sertanejo, Luis Gonzaga style. Not that he wouldn't hear and enjoy other modern music genres, when it cames to music I see Zé as a very ecletic, jack of all trades, person. But I think this genres are his favorites and what he listens to when he is alone, the songs in his Spotify playlist.

To end my mix of cannon and headcannon things with a list of headcannons based on that:

- He played João Grilo in a school production of O Auto da Compadecida.

- He loves Chico Buarque and Tom Jobin. And their college appartment would sudenttly change from Donald's Nirvana discos to Zé's Buarque ones and Panchito was the only one who noticed the style dissonance.

- He introduced Donald to poems/poets of the second wave of romantism in Brazil (they are very emo and extremely morbid) and they are Donald's favorites to a point Zé almost regrets showing it to him.

- He also made Panchito a fan of modernist brazilian literature. Panchito loved them and thanked by introducing Zé to mexican indie cinema. Panchito regrets it a lot. He created a movie snob monster.

- His favorite author is Machado de Assis (his favorite non-brazilian author is Jane Austen) and he is indoutrinating Huey into loving Machado as well. His favorite Machado book is Memórias Postunas de Brás Cubas (known to english speakers as Epitath of a Small Winner wich is not a direct translaction but it's a very accurate portrait of the book - also yes, I choose this one because it's my favorite Machado book, though his short tales are also great and the other two long books are fantastic).

- He does not have a favorite movie.

- As a true brazilian, by with a mean he grew up with a weird rivality with Argentina, he does hates the fact he loves argentinian cinema soo much.

- While Scrooge doesn't like him very much they do bond quite a lot through loving jazz and being cinema snobs. Scrooge will never admit he changed his view on him though.

Recordáis que comente algo como esto en “Cosas Random que pienso de forma Random”, como que aun y asi estos terminarían viajando por el tiempo, pasara lo que pasara, hasta terminar en la época que son Dedede y los demás, justo cuando fue el robo de comida por parte del rey, aunque estos no se enterarían hasta que vieron a kirby volando con el castillo, cuando pensaron que el pequeño de 5 años solamente se había ido a jugar cerca de ahi.

Resumen rápido para los que se pregunten como es que Galem esta vivo y Galacta fuera del sello (y mas porque no se si lo escribiré o ilustrare sobre esta linea alternativa de los hechos, me gustaría hacerlo pero no estoy segura).

Cuando estuvieron en la coronación en Halcandra, los del culto de Jambastion recibieron la información sobre los planes del exterminio de la raza de los Puff aunque no sabian exactamente cuando seria, pero que seria imnente, avisando a los Halcandra y los caballeros que estaban presentes de lo que estaba pasando, decidieron avisar a la orden y los campeones residentes para que estuvieran preparados y aguantaran hasta la ayuda, solo para darse cuenta que el ataque comenzó en justo en ese momento.

Cuando llegaron al planeta evitar el exterminio de la raza de bolitas por completo, pudiendo salvar la mitad de la población aunque parte de los atacantes pudieron escapar, siendo entre los que se salvaron fue Galem, quien estaba usando su poder para ganar tiempo para que Galacta y los demás llegaran.

5 años después de ese accidente, Morpho y Meta recibieron una misión de reconocimiento en un planeta de una galaxia lejana, justo donde estaba uno de los planeta que se decia que estaba protegido por Nova, para asegurarse que todo estaba correctamente, a lo que Galacta decidio, ya que era solo una mision de reconocimiento, unirse junto a Galem y Kirby y aprovechar para hacer un viaje vacacional antes de volver al activo, ademas de aprovechar el hecho que había 2 héroes ahí por si habia algo político, pero cuando usaron la Warp Star para moverse de un espacio a otro, no se dieron cuenta que hubo un problema con la nave y terminaron viajando en el tiempo por accidente(eso lo descubrirían mucho mas tarde), estrellándose en el Popstar.

Mientras intentaban hacer algo para que la nave reviviera (o al menos que la radio funcionase para pedir remolque), Kirby se comenzó a aburrir y tras asegurarse Galacta y Meta que no había ningún peligro, dejaron que fuera a jugar, solo que para mas tarde lo vieran llevando un castillo y que al parecer había derrotado al dueño de este para recuperar las estrellas alimenticias.

_ ¡¡HA DERROTADO A SU PRIMER MALO!!_ dijo felizmente la caballero magenta abrazando a su hijo tras enterarse de lo ocurrido_ ESTOY TAN ORGULLOSA.

_ Y lo ha hecho antes de que desarrolle su primera habilidad de copia_ comento Meta con una sonrisa mirando como su hermana seguia en su uforia por el exito de su pequeño.

_ Lo que me sorprende que lo hiciera sin que nosotros nos dieramos cuenta_ comento Galem antes de diriguirse a donde estaban esos dos para evitar que su esposa maree al pequeño.

Morpho en cambio solo se rio un poco por ese ultimo comentario antes de mirar donde le habian dicho que habia caido el rey de esta tierra.

_ Por cierto chicos_ llamo la atencion de los que estaban ahi con ellos_ ¿Ya que estamos aqui atrapados no crees que necesitamos presentarnos al rey?

I believe this Ronald Hilton editorial is the first English-language report of the CIA's planning for the Bay of Pigs. It's from the Hispanic American Report, Stanford University, November 1960. According to "The Press and the Bay of Pigs" (Victor Bernstein and Jesse Gordon, Columbia Forum, Fall 1967), one of Hilton's colleagues at Stamford read the piece and contacted Carey McWilliams, who then "broke" the story in The Nation. COMMENTARY

The Retalhuleu Base. Castro's denunciations of alleged U.S. plans to invade Cuba are usually greeted by the U.S. Government and press as proof of the persecution mania of his deranged mind. While it is evident that Castro flaunts the U.S. threat as a means of consolidating Cuban popular opinion behind him, the aggressive plans to which he refers may well be more than a figment of his imagination. Guatemalans of all shades of opinion believe rightly or wrongly that Castillo Armas' military campaign was planned and financed by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. There is now a widespread belief that the C.I.A. is sponsoring a similar invasion of Cuba from Guatemala. .

Reliable observers in Guatemala say that without doubt there is in Retalhuleu a large and well-fortified base where Cuban exiles are being trained to invade Castro's fortress. For a long time the Guatemalan Government forbade any mention of this base on the grounds that it was a military secret. However, it became a secreto a voces, and President Ydigoras Fuentes felt impelled to go on television to admit the existence of the base. It has since been discussed by leading commentators like Marroquin Rojas. It is generally believed among responsible Guatemalans that there is only one possible source for the funds necessary for such a major project, namely the U.S. Government operating through the C.I.A. Reliable reports from Cuba say that Fidel Castro is informed about this base and believes that the plan is to seize the Isle of Pines and set up a U.S.-sponsored government. The principal difficulty with which the United States is faced has been dissension among the Cuban exiles.

Hundreds of inches appear in the U.S. press daily about Cuba, but there seems to have been no mention of the Retalhuleu base. Is the explanation ignorance? If indeed a C.I.A.-sponsored base resulted in an international conflict, we should have another U-2 incident on our hands. An elementary sense of responsibility demands that an impartial journalist or observer be sent to Guatemala to investigate these reports, so that we may know how much truth there is to a story which is accepted as beyond question by so many responsible Guatemalans.

Castro and Canada. While Castro capped his campaign against U.S. business in Cuba by seizing the three U.S. banks operating there--the First National City Bank of New York, the First National Bank of Boston, and the Chase Manhattan Bank—he scrupulously respected the two Canadian banks in the island, the Royal Bank of Canada and the Bank of Nova Scotia. At the same time he spoke in warmly appreciative terms of Canada and its role in Cuban development. The metamorphosis of the wild gringo-hater into a grateful good neighbor was marvelous to observe. The reaction of U.S. business could have been predicted. There were angry protests that the Cuban Communists wished to keep open a financial channel to Russia and demands that Canada stop cooperating with the Communists. The Conservative government of Canada, already riled by U.S. pressures on its Asian policies, replied coldly that it had no intention of becoming embroiled in the U.S. fight with Castro.

Whatever truth there may be in the accusations of U.S. businessmen, there are many simpler explanations of Castro's conduct. In the first place, Canada has sent to the Caribbean a small number of responsible, scrupulously honest businessmen, whereas in the hordes of U.S. entrepreneurs who have swarmed over the area there have inevitably been many boors, numerous ruthless individuals, and not a few gangsters. The result is that Canadians enjoy a prestige which unfortunately is not shared by Americans. Politically, Castro would be stronger if he could play off Canada against the United States, and indeed traditionally Latin Americans have felt that the presence of Canada in the inter-American system would place the Colossus of the North in a vise. It was hoped that the relative weakness of Canada and the Latin Catholicism of French Canada would lead that country to line up with the Latin American republics against the Protestant giant. There is much wishful thinking in this calculation, since in reality Canada has much more affinity with the United States than with the southern republics. If Canada were a member of the Organization of American States, it would find itself continually in an unpleasant dilemma. It would be most unwise for Canada to allow itself to be placed in this position, and prudence dictates that Canada stay out of the Organization of American States.

Stroessner, an Unbuffeted Buffer. Paraguay and Uruguay are, to use a nineteenth-century term, buffer-states between Argentina and Brazil. Buffer states enjoy a special status which, if they are governed cunningly, they can use to play one powerful neighbor off against another. This seems to be the policy followed by President Alfredo Stroessner, South America's last dictator. He has succeeded in obtaining the support of four countries, which pride themselves on being democracies, against the desperate efforts of his many enemies who wish to restore democracy in the land of El Supremo. While Spanish American politicians talk endlessly of U.S. imperialism and U.S. support of Latin American dictators, Brazil, which has been creeping steadily westward across South America ever since Pope Alexander VI tried to adjudicate all of the New World to Spain, will now dominate South America from its new capital of Brasilia, with the Spanish American republics strung like beads around its broad neck. The Colossus of the South seeks paramount influence in Spanish America (out of courtesy we avoid the word imperialism), and Foreign Minister Horacio Lafer has indicated that Brazil will if necessary give military aid to the Paraguayan dictator. Argentina had hoped that as Peron's close ally and saviour Stroessner would be compelled to abdicate; concerned now lest he be completely dominated by Brazil, it has decided to support him. More surprising, and indeed revolting, is the spectacle of the Uruguayan future chief of government, Eduardo Vfctor Haedo, praising Stroessner and thus besmirching Uruguay's reputation as a stalwart democracy; only the bitterness between the Blancos and the Colorados can explain his strange behavior. To complete the quartet of Stroessner supporters, there is no doubt that the basso profundo is the United States, which fears the cacophony which might result if Stroessner were overthrown. The struggling, embittered Liberals, Febreristas, dissident Colorados, the Uni6én Nacional Paraguaya, and the Movimiento 14 de Mayo count as nothing in this cynical game of power politics.
