Chapter 3: Traitor's Moon

@dollarstrilogyevent Prompts: BETRAYAL/EVIL

(I know I have them fast-traveling to meet the movie plot timeline, I am not as good as Tom Stoppard at this sort of thing :P)

In which Pablo, riding back to Apache Canyon, remembers a night long ago…

Full Moon. The Traitor’s Moon. So bright that any guiding stars would be impossible to see.

Tio Hector fills Tuco’s head with nonsense about easy ways to fortune. Tuco is young and trusts so willingly. Not stupid, but ignorant of what their uncle is doing. Pablo heard a gringo use a term once…

“Shit-Heel.”

That’s what Tuco was to Hector, but he would not listen to reason.

The night of the full moon. THAT night.

Pablo sees Tio, in the enclosure with his precious, giant pigs, talking to the lawmen. Pointing them to the place where he knew his brother waited for instruction. He had little time; cutting across the back field turning rows…

“Run! RUN, Tuco.”

Something in Pablo’s eyes. It was enough to convince him to go.

No more of your deal with this devil, little brother.

The giant sows that Tio kept, he joked that he bred them with Javelinas to make them so big and fierce. Hector treated those pigs better than he treated his family. He was feeding them out of his hands and talking so sweetly to them that he did not hear the footfalls.

Pablo had no time to think; he grabbed a spade. He clasped it, hard, and swung.

I still remember the look in Tio’s eyes as he turned around. The crack and thud as metal met bone and everything….broke. Blood. He was dead before they ate him, at least…or paralyzed and unable to move?

It haunted Pablo that sometimes he wished (GOD FORGIVE ME) that it was the latter. And he died suffering. A Pig for the pigs.

The lawmen found no one hiding, and when they returned to interrogate Hector, he was…unavailable for questioning. Or, so they were told, and Pablo later learned.

I was long gone by then, heading this same path to the mission, under these same stars, but oh! I could not see them that night at all!

Pablo hoped that, without the influence of their uncle, and with the necessity of helping father in his absence, Tuco would have altered course, and finally picked up the plow.

It was too late…too late for him, and too late for me to have done any good.

Pablo’s thoughts clatter back to the present when he realizes that he is not far from the mission. He sees the growing pile of old gray flannel uniforms, torn and covered in dust and blood, waiting to be burned.

The road is also full of dust and blood and gunpowder. Today, everything on the earth tastes spoiled and bitter to Brother Pablo Ramirez.

These southerners are not unlike my little brother. No need for St. Jude!

Tuco Ramirez: the New Patron Saint of the Lost Cause! Or, at least, until that title no longer served him.

Actors in Blackface

I was recently reminded that Marvel Studio’s favorite Robert Downey Jr was even nominated for an Oscar for performing in Blackface for “Tropic Thunder” (2008).

White actors in Blackface (dark or black makeup, sometimes with exaggerated lips) was pretty common in the so-called “Golden Age” of Hollywood. Singer Al Jolson even built his entire career in Blackface.

I am not African American so I can’t speak to how offensive Blackface is (but in the modern era, it’s seem pretty offensive).

I’m Mexican American and growing up I hated when I saw non-Hispanic actors portray Mexicans in movies or TV. Almost always they played the characters as lazy, or drunks, and often the bad guy. In particular I hated Eli Wallach (who is Polish) for his portrayal in “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”.

Fred Astaire, in Swing Time (1936) and in Easter Parade (1948)

Dan Aykroyd, in Trading Places (1983

Jack Black, in Be Kind Rewind (2008

Bugs Bunny, 1942 cartoon Fresh Hare

Bing Crosby, in Dream House (1932)

Ted Danson, a 1993 Friars Club roast of his Whoopi Goldberg

Robert Downey Jr. in the 2008 film Tropic Thunder

📍Canadian Nationals, 2009

These poor angel bbys were so broken they could barely speak to each other, but the opportunity to dance with each other after what felt like forever reminds them just how special they are.

She had been in so much pain, so much mental torment, only 9 months earlier one step below the top of the world, now worried they would never recover from what this injury had done to them.

But here she was back on ice, and he wastes no time reminding her what she had achieved and just them being here, still side by side, the same as it was for 12 years prior.. that he was so proud of her and they would get through this together.

And just one year later they would be standing on the top of the podium, side by side, holding hands, as Olympic champions.

#their story is beautiful #all of it #the good the bad the ugly #because what matters is they always cared about each other #deep in my feels today can u tell #2009 nationals

My End of 2023 Reflection

This week's blog is my end of year reflection for 2023, where I talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly. Mostly though, I talk about how thankful I am for all of you.

I’m not going to lie, I have been putting off writing a yearly review of 2023. By and large, this year has been awesome. My book won awards, I had a record number of preorders on The Reanimator’s Soul, I wrote a whole book, things have gone well– more than well. On the other hand, there were things that happened that upset me and have continued to grate on me all year. My fear is that this…

[The hand of Tuco] "But if you miss you had better miss very well. Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!"

Ok I was thinking a lot about how Mortimer fits into my Celestial AU, because man the decision to cast Lee Van Cleef as two separate characters keeps me up at night. and I think I’ve settled on a thought I like. I think he and Angel Eyes are the same person in this AU, and after his defeat in GBU, he was forced to look his hubris in the eyes and learn humility. And in A Few Dollars More, there’s a central theme around greed, yeah? And the villains are destroyed by their own greed, and Mortimer rejects that cash in the film, giving it all to Manco. So to me that is Angel Eyes growth.

Additionally, I think he and Manco/Blondie recognize each other when they first meet, but are basically like NOT THIS GUY AGAIN!! But as the film progresses, the two break down the barrier of them “knowing each other” and ACTUALLY knowing each other. I think this could be shown in sooo many ways. Like Blondie shooting his hat repeatedly. And his initial betrayal of Mortimers proposal to be partners, but this time Mortimer sees it coming.

And then I think Mortimers sister was also an Angel, but since suicide is a “grave sin” she becomes a fallen Angel, and I don’t really know if this happens before, after, or simultaneously with Angel Eyes becoming a fallen Angel.

Anyway! I’m not saying this is what I actually think the movies trying to say, this is just in the terms of my own personal AU. The trilogy gives so much subtext and not a lot of text that I think it’s cool to fill in the blanks in your own way.
