Amoureux - Champagne Problems

Summary: The wedding is coming closer but after their spur-of-the-moment night spent together, Daniel and Louisa feel so much more drawn to each other, especially after a few glasses of champagne

Galas upon galas were not unlike tradition for the Royal Family and it was often that they found themselves with a ballroom full of company and pleasant music. Louisa worked hard to keep herself politely at Christian’s side and listened into conversations with other aristocracies from around the country but she was always keeping an eye out for Daniel.

After their late night rendezvous in her bedroom only a week or so prior, they were both still desperately trying to figure out where they stood with each other. They knew better than to be that reckless again but they silently craved each other more and their lingering hand touches under the breakfast table weren’t quite sufficing.

Louisa tried to focus on her relationship with Christian, she was to marry him after all, but her heart always searched for Daniel in whatever room she was in.

“It would be greatly thrilling to see your portrait on the coins.” the gentleman across from them stated as he took a sip of his champagne.

“Yes, although I must admit I am worried they will sketch me up an unflattering angle.” Christian joked lightly, earning the way too loud laughter form his few guests he spoke to.

Louisa sighed, her gloved hand still tucked in the crook of his arm and scanned the bustling room for any sign of salvation.

One of the butlers walked past and she swiped one of the crystal glasses of champagne and took a long sip.

“Woah there, slow down, darling.” Christian chuckled to her, gently lowering her glass from her mouth. The gentlemen chuckled.

Louisa hid her scowl behind a lick of her rouged lips.

When there was a pause in conversation, Louisa excused herself from the group and Christian let her walk off through the ballroom. She found herself at the dessert table again, picking up one of the truffles and ate it in one bite before washing it down with the rest of the small glass of champagne. She turned to watch the crowd, trying to ignore the strange craving her body felt or the ache in her heart when it came to simply the thought of Daniel.

She had never felt so strongly for a person before, never physically craved the touch of another person before, and it was awful because she knew she shouldn’t.

She grabbed another champagne glass as it floated by on a silver tray and tossed it back with her eyes locked on her fiancé talking nonsense across the room. The music filled the bustling ballroom loudly and the hundreds of candles that lined the chandeliers and candelabras dripped and melted as the night progressed and Louisa was getting impatient. They silently agreed to keep a bit of distance but she hadn’t seen him since dinner and that was nearly two hours ago which was far too long.

Louisa swore to herself under her breath in French, calling herself some unladylike terms before finishing the glass in her hand.

“Louisa Arielle,” a voice from just behind her spoke, “ladies dare not drink so much.”

She only bit back her grin at the familiar voice and warm presence and she turned around to be face to face with her late night love. Daniel was already smiling that sweet cheeky little smile with his cheeks dusted pink for his own few glasses of champagne and the warmth of the crowded ballroom. He stood so close to her she could feel the presence of his body against hers and she had to force herself to not reach out and caress his face amongst the room of strangers.

“Where were you?” she asked casually.

“Mother caught me up in a dreadful conversation with some old hag I dare not care to remember the name of.” Daniel tisked.

Louisa giggled at his blunt statement and watched him wave over one of the butlers. Daniel took Louisa’s empty glass and set it on the man’s silver tray before taking two more filled glasses and sent him away with a ‘thank you’. Daniel passed one of the glasses to Louisa before taking her hand and led her along the perimeter of the large ballroom.

She never questioned where he took her, she learned to just trust him, but this time, he didn’t take her out of the room like expected. Daniel led her to the front of the large ballroom so they could have a good view of the entire space and all the guests. Their hands lingered together for a moment longer, hidden behind them with how close they stood side by side, and Daniel held out his glass towards her with his other hand.

“What are you doing?” Louisa asked, clinking her crystal glass against his.

“We’re going to make up backstories for all of these stuck up snobs.” Daniel explained as he took his hand out of hers and downed a sip of his drink.

Louisa’s eyes lingered on his soft face and she smiled to herself, following his gaze across the crowded room full of dancing couples.

“I’ll start.” Daniel scanned the crowd, “Ah, got it.”

Louisa followed his finger as he pointed across the room to a larger man sitting at one of the tables alone.

“His wife died.”

Louisa gasped and looked at Daniel, “Did she? That is dreadful.”

“No.” Daniel assured her quickly. “That’s the game, you make up something. Now listen.”

He took another sip from his glass.

“His wife died and left him with such an empty heart that his only companion is alcohol and the rats that live in his walls.”

“Oh, that is terrible, Daniel.” Louisa gaped.

Daniel only giggled and finished his drink, “Your turn.”

Louisa finished her glass of champagne too before scanning the crowd for her unknown victim.

“Ah, voila.” she pointed across the room with an eager smile, locating a lady by the string quintet, nursing her own drink in hand. “She is London’s best heiress but is dreadfully lonely and she lusts over the violinist in the Royal band every time she is here, dreaming over the day she works up the courage to talk to him, knowing he will never love her behind her makeup.”

Daniel sniggered, “Brutal, Louisa.”

“Did I do well?” Louisa asked.

“Splendid.”

They went back and forth a few times, each snatching another glass of champagne when a butler would pass by until soon the two sixteen-year-olds were a giggling mess in the corner of the ballroom, barely able to keep a proper sentence between them.

“And her babies are just as h-hideous as her husband!” Daniel finished, the two of them nearly clinging onto each other in fits of laughter as quiet as they could.

But his eyes landed on his mother a few paces away and her stern glare had him straightening up quickly. Louisa took the hint and quieted herself too, holding her gloved hand daintily in front of her mouth as she set her empty glass on the nearby table. She hiccupped.

“Come.” Daniel grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the doors.

“D-Daniel.” Louisa stumbled over the end of her dress a little and she just giggled and pulled it up as she rushed to keep up with him, “Oh my goodness, Daniel, I’m dizzy.”

“Just as drunk as that one man and his dead wife.” Daniel joked loudly as they emerged into the main hallway outside the ballroom. The air was cooler out there and they stumbled into each other a little as he turned to look at her, catching each other through giggles and Louisa’s little hiccup again.

“Drunk.” Louisa gasped, clinging onto his arms as they blindly stumbled off down the hallway, “I’ve never been drunk.”

“Me neither.” Daniel laughed, doubling over like it was the funniest thing in the world.

Louisa’s eyes scrunched closed as a silent laugh fell from her grinning mouth and she leaned right over Daniel’s back as he held his hands on his knees. They heaved breaths of air together behind pink cheeks and wide eyes, the two sixteen-year-olds drunk enough to not even bother to stay quiet as they continued down the hallway.

“Oh my God.” Daniel swore loudly through his laughter, his voice echoing off the walls of the grand hallway they stumbled down, draped over each other, “I snuck the future queen out of the ball.”

“You absolute madman.” Louisa gasped.

Their eyes met and they burst into roars of laughter again, stumbling into the wall together as Louisa fell against his chest and he caught her around the waist. Their glee fell into silence as their eyes met, hands resting against familiar bodies over formalwear and seconds barely passed before Daniel was pushing his lips on hers right out in the open hallway.

Louisa moaned into his mouth, feeling that pulsing craving inside her only igniting more as their lips locked and her hands found their way around his body. He was warm to the touch, so addictingly warm and sweet and Louisa never wanted to let him go for one more second. But maybe that was the alcohol talking.

“I’m mad for you, Louisa.” Daniel breathed between their furious kisses, taking her face in his clammy palms to keep her perfectly close. Their noses brushed and breathing fell in sync as their eyes locked through the candlelit hallway. She swore she could hear his heartbeat.

“Daniel-” she whispered shakily, hands tightening on the back of his suit jacket just as he shoved his lips on hers again, preventing her from saying one more word.

They both gasped into it, clinging onto each other in a fit of drunken desperation and the intoxicating secrecy that their affair brought each and every time. But now this wasn’t in a back stairwell or locked in her room; this was right in the middle of a hallway in the open and the thrill was dizzying.

Hands grabbed at fabric and skin and lips clashed messily as tongues were meeting through moans and gasps. Feverous passion only fueled by expensive champagne. They felt perfectly alone in the world.

Well, until the sound of steady footsteps echoed down the far end of the hallway.

Daniel grabbed Louisa’s arm and broke their kiss with a heaving chest as he saw the shadows of two guards making their rounds. He didn’t speak as he pulled Louisa after him and into the closest room, closing and locking the door behind them to give them perfect privacy for him to lunge at her again.

She giggled into his kiss, biting softly at his bottom lip before he was opening up wider to push his tongue against hers, grabbing at her waist over the stiff material of her corset and backed her farther into the room until the fell onto a chaise lounge in the dark.

“Daniel.” Louisa breathed, clinging onto his shoulders as his lips moved down her neck in desperate wet kisses, “Merde, Daniel.”

“I need you, darling.” Daniel breathed against her skin.

The pet name sent shivers right through Louisa’s body and her fingers tugged tighter at his clothes until he was right over top of her and his lips were on hers again. Daniel fell onto her, pressing each and every inch of their bodies together and he ground up against her just to hear her moan. He could have had her. They could have had another night of blissful perfect clumsy love making right in the darkened parlour somewhere in the palace.

But then Louisa’s drunk mind flicked to visions of Christian and her duty to her family and to his and her body that was once filled with fiery craving filled with disgusting guilt instead.

“Stop.” she whispered, grabbing Daniel’s hand that had started to push up her large skirt.

He leaned back from her with a concerned expression, eyes dilated dark in the barely-lit room and his cheeks pink and lips swollen, “Why?”

“I just…” Louisa gently pushed him off her and he shifted to the side as she sat up. She wiped the edges of her lips with her thumb to make sure her lipstick wasn’t too smudged. She was stalling.

“Louisa.” Daniel set his hand on her thigh.

She stood to get him to stop touching her. If he touched her one more time she might have cried in frustration.

“We can’t do this. I want you but...” Louisa took a moment to gather her thoughts. “Not like…not like this.” she gestured to the lounge they had once been tucked up on.

Daniel swallowed thickly, “Alright.”

A tense silence settled between them. Daniel’s stare lingered on her and her obvious distress that she was in as she stood in front of him. He looked down to his lap and pressed a discreet hand over the front of his slacks shyly. Louisa didn’t notice his discomfort and only requested one last thing of him that night,

“Can you take me back to Christian please?”

A little over 22 years ago, my husband and I moved from the Netherlands to California. My husband is a Jazz bass player in his spare time, so for him the music was another aspect to “living in Paradise.” There are many more Jazz performances and festivals here than in Europe, and there are lots of people here to do jam sessions with.

Cynthia Freivogel Telemann

But for me it was a different story. I found a wonderful voice teacher and a good choir to sing in, but I missed the strong Dutch tradition of hearing and performing Bach’s Passions in the weeks before Easter. I used to have my biggest bouts of homesickness around that time of year. The heartache was softened only by it being my most favorite blooming season in California: the few weeks when two native trees, the purple Western Redbud (Cercis Occidentalis) and the blue-violet wild lilac (Ceanothus) bloom at the same time. The photos here don’t really capture how beautiful those colors are and how stunning it is when you see them together in the landscape, but it is something that makes me very happy.

Last year I didn’t have any homesickness, because all Passions in the Netherlands or Belgium I could have attended or participated in were canceled, so I didn’t feel I was missing anything. And while the world locked down, at the same time it became more accessible to me, because performances were now being moved to the internet. This meant I could watch the dress rehearsal of Herreweghe’s St. John Passion without the 11-hour plane ride or the struggle with jet lag. (That video registration is still available: find it here – scroll a bit down to where it says “Passions 2020”).

This year there were so many online St. Matthew or St. John Passion offerings from the Netherlands it was almost overwhelming. I didn’t have time to listen to all of them before writing this today, because most of the videos didn’t go live until yesterday, Good Friday. So I’ll just focus on a few that stood out to me.

Cynthia Freivogel Wikipedia

Find the English translations of the St. John Passion here; the St. Matthew Passion here.

Cynthia Freivogel Vivaldi Four

In the category “most interactive creation” I would like to mention the St. John Passion by Zing als vanZelf. An initiative of online singing instructor Bert van de Wetering, this organization invited thousands of singers to record themselves singing the chorales at home in the weeks leading up to Good Friday. They then recorded a performance with professional soloists singing the arias and the choruses with the excellent Combattimento Consort (Cynthia Miller Freivogel, concertmaster) as the orchestra, this all under the direction of Pieter Dirksen. Then they edited all this together into a video where you see the performance from a pretty church in a small town in the Netherlands, but every time there is a chorale you see the “choir” of individual volunteer singers pieced together on the screen. A really clever and touching solution. Watch it here. If you enjoy it, please consider making a donation, similar to what you would have paid if you would have attended this in person. The link for that is right there under the video.

For readers who understand Dutch and would like to learn more about the St. Matthew Passion, I highly recommend the video program from the organization that every year brings performances of this masterpiece to the beautiful Bergkerk in the city of Deventer. This year they recorded four arias from the St. Matthew Passion, in the order they appear in the second half of the work: “Erbarme dich” (sung by countertenor Maarten Engeltjes), “Aus Liebe” (sung by soprano Renate Arends), “Komm, süßes Kreuz” (sung by bass Florian Just), and “Mache dich, mein Herze, rein” (sung by bass Marc Pantus). What I liked best about this video is the conversations director Klaas Stok has with each soloist before they sing their aria. Through these conversations, I gained a lot of new insights into the meaning of the different arias. I especially loved what Klaas Stok had to say about the architecture of the piece, the role each aria plays in the overall structure, and how different movements are connected. Of all the talks, I particularly enjoyed bass Marc Pantus’ take on “Mache dich, mein Herze, rein,” the final aria on the program. You can watch this until April 14. Just click here. But please note, it is all in Dutch. Again, a link to donate is right there under the video.

Last but not least, the most impressive performance I listened to yesterday and today: The St. John Passion (1725 version) by the Netherlands Bach Society under the direction of René Jacobs. This was shown on Dutch television on Good Friday, so if you don’t understand Dutch, you’ll have to sit through a confusing excerpt from the St. Matthew Passion and a few ads at first, but then you can forward the video 14 minutes, to skip the pre-concert interview with René Jacobs. Soloists are Daniel Johannsen, tenor (Evangelist); Johannes Kammler, bass (Christ); Robin Johannsen, soprano; Alberto Miguélez Rouco, countertenor; Thomas Hobbs, tenor; and Arttu Kataja, bass. There is so much fluidity and phrasing in the orchestra, such a good blend in the choir, as well as excellent enunciation from the choir, it is extraordinary. All the choral movements are extremely transparent, I enjoyed that very much. Jacobs takes some risks with considerably slower tempi in the chorales than is usual in the Historical Performance Practice world, stretching out the pauses in the Evangelist’s recitatives, and taking long fermatas on ending notes, but it is never old-fashioned or too Romantic. It makes for a very engaging, one of a kind performance. All soloists are wonderful, but I would like to give a shout-out to the two tenors: Daniel Johannsen for being an excellent Evangelist, and Thomas Hobbs for his fabulous “Zerschmettert mich” aria (one of the arias that is not in the better known, 1724 version). Donate to the Netherlands Bach Society here.

History

The public gardens around the St Pancras Old Church were opened in 1877,after the churchyard was closed for burials in 1850.The gardens are made up of part of the old churchyard for the church of St Pancras,enlarged in 1800,and a separate burial ground for St Giles-in-the-Fields,added 1803.It was a preferred burial place for Catholics,with an area devoted to French émigrés.The burial ground and churchyard were partially destroyed by the development of the Midland Railway;the company formed a cutting in 1865 for the construction of the railway lines from St Pancras Station.The clearances of tombs and bodies was highly controversial and caused considerable protest;the graves were dug up at night,behind screens,a process overseen by Thomas Hardy,then an apprentice architect,and many years later recorded in a poem,‘The Levelled Churchyard’(1882).The grandest tombs survived,including the tomb to Sir John Soane(d 1837)and his wife(d 1815),but others were moved.The ground was levelled and the headstones were placed in mounds or around the walls.In 1875 the remaining land was acquired by the St Pancras Vestry for use as public space,and the gardens were opened to the public in June 1877;Baroness Burdett-Coutts laid the foundation stone of the monument she had presented,to commemorate the graves disturbed in the construction of the railway.The gardens were laid out in their present form in 1890-1 by the Vestry,in conjunction with the Midlands Railway Company. Angela Georgina Burdett, suo jure Baroness Burdett-Coutts(1814-1906)was a prominent philanthropist who is estimated to have given away between £3 and £4 million.As described by her biographer Edna Healey,in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography,Burdett-Coutts set a new standard in philanthropy:prompt and practical,her charity was given with style and without condescension.In her time she was an honoured institution and most of her enterprises bore lasting fruit.Even her visionary schemes that did not survive–Columbia market and Columbia Square–served as models for the shopping precincts and housing estates of a later era.In the breadth and sincerity of her sympathies and in the variety of her social and intellectual interests she has had no rival among philanthropists before or since.Her example not only provided an immense stimulus to charitable work among the rich and fashionable but also suggested solutions to many social problems.She was the first woman to be given a peerage,in 1871,and was thus described by Edward VII:‘after my mother the most remarkable woman in the country’.Burdett-Coutts lived with her companion and partner Hannah Brown for 52 years,after whose death,she married her protégé,William Lehman Ashmead Bartlett;it was called the ‘mad marriage’ by Queen Victoria,for Burdett-Coutts was 66,and Bartlett 29. Burdett-Coutts commissioned this memorial to commemorate a diverse group of people whose graves had been destroyed by the development of the railway.Among the names included on the memorial is that of the Chevalier d’Eon,who was a celebrated French spy and diplomat in the eighteenth century.The Chevalier lived the first part of their life as a man and the latter as a woman.Their gender was widely speculated about,and they were written about in many satires and pamphlets.D’Eon used female pronouns in later life,and signed their name as Mademoiselle d’Eon. Numerous other significant historic figures are noted on the memorial, including Sir Edward Walpole, Sir John Soane, and sculptor Thomas Flaxman, whose tomb (q.v.) stands nearby. The burial of Sidly Effendi, the Turkish Ambassador, presumably a Muslim, is quite unusual. In line with Burdett-Coutts’s humanitarian principles, a special dedication is made to the ‘memory of those whose graves are now unseen, or the record of whose names may have become obliterated’.

Amongst people commemorated is the Chevalier d'Eon (1728 – 1810) , an 18th century French spy, diplomat and freemason whose gender transition was recognised in French and English law.

For 33 years, from 1777, d'Éon dressed as a woman, claiming to have been female at birth. Doctors who examined d'Éon's body after d'Éon's death discovered that d'Éon would have actually been designated male at birth.

i meant to go to bed but instead this fell out of my brain

Stargate Universe, Rush/Young, D/S AU, yes I should be sleeping right now

Everett Young is straight.

This has never been in question. He never had any kind of drunken college curiosity, no high school fumblings, no buddies helping each other out in basic. He's comfortable in his orientation and his sexuality.

But then.

Rush.

Rush who seems incapable of taking care of himself, who is emotional and oddly fragile and painfully out of place in the military. Rush whose irrational, spontaneous rerouting of the Stargate has left them all stranded on the other side of the universe with nothing but a vague notion of whimsical romanticism about discovering new worlds and new civilizations and fucking honestly, young watched Star Trek as a kid and it never made him want to throw himself into the goddamn void with no hope of return. Rush, who has a nervous breakdown within a week because there's no coffee, who pushes and pushes like he's trying to provoke young into a reaction.

Yes, ok, Young made some goddamn assumptions. Chloe has full permission to hit him with a gender studies textbook. He assumed Rush was a sub, and he assumed rush was flirting with him, and he flirted back. Petted his hair after they didn't die in a star and took his look of bemusement for shyness.

And then he's suffering through David's helpful chats --thinly veiled attempts to snatch his command out from under him-- and they've both had a bit more to drink than they should have, and David says, "If only I could tell Daniel Jackson that recruiting bastard scientists works better if you sleep with them first."

And young says, "He's a mathematician," because half of his fucking senior staff have beaten it in to him, and then, "It wasn't like he was under your command. I don't see why you couldn't mention it to Jackson, aside from the part where it'd make you a fucking dick. But that seems to be the look you're going for lately."

David arches an eyebrow, tips his beer to get the last drops. The body that Young is borrowing is a little shorter than him, so even sitting down David can look down condescendingly at him. "Don't tell me you're asking, Everett," he says. "Because I'm certainly not telling."

He laughs as soon as he says it, but it's a sharp thing, switchblades in back alleys and a boot to the gut. Young leans as far back into the booth as he can get.

It's not that he forgets the conversation as much as he convinces himself that he misunderstood something. He's never been rapid fire clever like that, never quite in pace with the ping-pong walk and talks layered with jokes and politics and emotional warfare and a particular lore made up of academia and pop-culture and obscure trivia that has always remained opaque. He's a straightforward guy. He says what he means. Safer for everybody that way. Easier. He thinks being a member of SG1 or literally anyone on Atlantis must be exhausting from the banter requirements alone.

But then the next time he's on Earth and has some free time he googles Rush, because Voker had been bitching about how not all of them could be celebrity darlings and Rush had thrown a water bottle at his head and Young is kind of curious. Turns out there are prizes for math, and Rush as won a couple of them, but what is more fascinating is the Wikipedia article on his dead wife.

"Gloria Capple was the first openly gay performer at--" and "It has been theorized that Capple's marriage to math prodigy Dr. Nicholas Rush was a deliberate attack on her parents' conservative upper-class views--" and "The violinist's battle with cancer was likely particularly fraught, given the couple's choice to continue living in the United States where their marriage was not recognized outside of California or Massachusetts, and it is possible that this influenced her choice to remain in California instead of seeking treatment at institutions such as johns Hopkins or MD Anderson--"

He hunts down Rush's personnel file after that, actually examines the basic information at the top that he usually skims past. And.

Well.

Fact: Young has been flirting with Rush for the past few months. Fact: Rush has been flirting back. Fact: Rush is a dom. Fact: Young is a dom.

...Fact: Young is straight.

But the attraction doesn't seem to care about these facts. Even when he knows Rush isn't pushing because he wants Young to take him in hand, Young still finds himself invigorated and passionate about every argument. Even when all their staring matches end in stalemates Young still finds Rush's eyes fascinating. Knowing that having Rush on his knees isn't an option doesn't stop Young from wanting to kiss him. His fantasies start to involve more bruises and bleeding lips instead of welcoming, pliant mouths and bodies. He no longer imagines the care and responsibility of being gifted with control, but the continuous care and agility to maintain a debate or a mentally and physically demanding interaction in which he must constantly be at his best in a new way.

He starts avoiding Rush, which should make him feel better but just leaves him restless and on-edge. It's not sustainable, and after he snaps at Eli for the third time in as many hours he knows he's got to fucking get himself under control. This is all ridiculous. He made a false assumption and his body is just taking a little while to catch up. In another week or two he'll look at rush and feel nothing but the appropriate respect for his skill and equally appropriate lack of respect for basically everything else.

This is fine. He's handling it.

Rush backs him up against a wall three days later, getting up in his face, accent fog heavy over the sharp hailstones of his rage. Young licks his lips and shoves him back, hard enough that he stumbles back across the corridor and jars his hip on a consul.

Rush looks up at him and there's something brighter in his eyes, something eager. Young never noticed the switchblades in his smile until now.

#here please take this i will likely hate it in the morning #Nicholas Rush #Everett Young #tumblrfic tag #SGU #also Rush and Telford can essentially be characterized by the space core from Portal 2 and i stand by this

Classical Music News of the Week, November 20, 2021

Violinist Jennifer Koh Expands Her "Alone Together" Series

Violinist Jennifer Koh headlines a free Music Mondays concert that pairs Beethoven Violin Sonatas, performed with pianist Thomas Sauer, with selections from her critically acclaimed “Alone Together” commissioning project, including two world premieres to be added to the series.

Launched last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic, “Alone Together” supports freelance musicians by engaging a diverse group of established composers--many of whom have salaried positions--to both donate a new solo-violin composition and recommend a freelance colleague for a formal commission. The new works to be premiered were donated by composer-violinist Daniel Bernard Roumain and commissioned, at his recommendation, from composer-pianist Deanna Rusnock. The Beethoven Violin Sonatas to be performed are Op. 12, No. 1 in D major and the “Kreutzer” Sonata (Op. 47 in A major).

FRIENDS. As you may know, I’ve been doing this remix project where I write an alternative version of defunct author cleanwhiteroom’s Stargate Universe fic Force over Distance. This remix has everything: psychic bond, posthumanism, M-theory, enemies to lovers, an AI that sometimes looks like Daniel Jackson and sometimes like John Sheppard, an ancient alien form of proto-Latin that I’m conlanging up...

Have you thought: MAN, I wish I could read this remix, but unfortunately I have never read nor will I ever in ten million years read this fic? GOOD NEWS: I am now writing from the beginning, so you can read along without any prior knowledge!

Have you thought: MAN, I wish I could read this fic, but unfortunately I am not a Stargate Universe fan (IS ANYONE), GOOD NEWS: you don’t have to be— especially because the fic is quite divergent from the show. Here is a complete guide to the important characters and concepts, for anyone who might be interested in joining me on this posthumanist psychic bond ancient alien journey:

The concept of Stargate Universe is that a ragtag bunch of humans are gated onto a million-year-old Ancient spaceship that is constantly traveling through a region of space impossibly distant from Earth. To understand that, you have to understand both the idea of a stargate (a magic circle that you “dial” to create a wormhole through space that transports you to another planet) and the Ancients (literally Ancient Aliens who looked like humans and interbred with humans and AS PART OF A PLOT TO CAUSE MY EARLY DEATH THROUGH STROKE spoke Latin-ish, and who were super technologically advanced and were responsible for the stargates and the city of Atlantis). A long time ago the Ancients died of a plague, and those who didn’t die figured out how to ascend (transform themselves into pure energy in order to exist on another plane).

The Destiny (the million-year-old Ancient spaceship) is reachable only by dialing a Very Special nine-chevron stargate address. Because of this, the secret Earth Air Force program responsible for the stargates established a base called Icarus (GREAT WORK GUYS! A+ NAMING!) on a planet they could use for fuel to dial the address. However, the base was attacked by evil space empire the Lucian Alliance just as Nicholas Rush figured out how to do the dialing. Rather than evacuate everyone to Earth or another location, Rush decided to dial the nine-chevron address rather than lose his chance to do so. That meant everyone who evacuated got stuck on Destiny, because they had no way to dial home. Their only contact with Earth is through the Ancient communication stones, a set of magic rocks that, because the Stargate writers don’t understand that Cartesian Dualism Is Bad, can switch a person’s consciousness with a person at the other end of the device on Earth.

Characters:

Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle): Rush is a surly Glaswegian mathematician who is constantly engaged in about thirty-seven secret plots at any one time. He tragically suffers from Dead Wife Syndrome, a serious disorder afflicting men on our TV sets. His wife, Gloria, was a concert violinist who died of cancer. For a while, Destiny’s computer was appearing to him as her. One time Colonel Young left Rush on an alien planet for dead after Rush framed him for murder. Then Rush got picked up by the Nakai, who put him a wetsuit (good work, guys) and tortured him (bad work, guys) until he escaped (good work, Nick).

Everett Young (Louis Ferreira): Young is “”in charge”” of the Destiny, except for when people are trying to mutiny against him. His principal character trait is Military Guy. He split up with his wife, Emily, after having an affair with TJ, but then they kind of got back together, but then Telford split them up again, and oh my god this plotline was so stupid that remembering it is sending me into a coma. Also this one time Young had to mercy-kill the wounded Hunter Riley, As Men Do.

Tamara “TJ” Johansen (Alaina Huffman): an Air Force medic who ended up being de facto doctor on the Destiny. She was pregnant with Young’s child (a daughter she was planning to call Carmen), but then either miscarried OR something spooky and mysterious transported the baby to another dimension and oh my god I thought I had come out of my coma but it was just a dream and I am in hell. She also found out through time shenanigans that she is going to develop ALS in the future and die from it.

David Telford (Lou Diamond Philips): a sinister, devious, and super hard-core Air Force colonel whose loyalties are always slightly unclear. (For a while he was brainwashed by the Lucian Alliance.) He wasn’t part of the Destiny crew, but he ended up on Destiny a few times due to various shenanigans. One time future!Rush killed Telford, then downloaded an Ancient database into his head and committed suicide. So they have a totally normal relationship.

Ronald Greer (Jamil Walker Smith): a soldier with a temper/self-control problem who, despite having no character traits except for being angry, is actually really fun to watch.

Chloe Armstrong (Elyse Levesque): the daughter of a senator, who was working as his aide when they ended up on Destiny. He died. She got abducted by the Nakai, who genetically altered her, which made her dangerous (which got fixed) and a math genius (which didn’t).

Eli Wallace (David Blue): a nerd self-insert OCn MIT dropout who solved an impossible math problem in a video game. That won him an involuntary trip to Icarus Base, which is how he ended up on the Destiny.

Camile Wray (Ming-Na Wen): an International Oversight Advisory (the UN body overseeing the stargate stuff) politician who ends up in charge of non-military stuff on Destiny. She has a girlfriend back on Earth.

Matthew Scott (Brian J. Smith): a young soldier whose main character trait is that he’s dating Chloe.

The Science Team: Brody (laid back dude who makes moonshine as a hobby), Volker (hapless guy whom Rush hates), and Park (sweet woman who is dating Greer) work on the Destiny science team, which exists for Rush to yell at sometimes. Dr. Franklin used to work on the science team, until they discovered a neural interface chair on the ship— the Ancients use to build these interfaces that would allow the user to do stuff like download a database of knowledge or fly a city or interface with weapons and stuff— and it fried his brain and uploaded his consciousness to the ship.

The Lucian Alliance: a bunch of Lucian Alliance people boarded Destiny at one point. Imagine a bunch of D-list actors dressed in leather pretending to be space mercenaries. A couple of them were “good” in the sense that they were “morally not terrible:” Ginn (a young hacker whom Eli fell in love with, but then who got killed later, but her consciousness got uploaded to Destiny’s computer, and it’s SO not worth going into) and Varro (a dude TJ fell in love with despite the fact that he looks like a weird muscular bird).

The Nakai: blue insectoid aliens who are always chasing Destiny and trying to conquer it. They mentally torture/interrogate anyone they come in contact with, preferentially by sticking them in tanks full of water with psychic transmitters on their heads.

Also: remember Daniel Jackson, from SG-1? Keep him in mind.

John Sheppard and Rodney McKay, too.

In conclusion,

(I could not find a source for that gif of Rush, so let me know if it’s yours.)

so as a violist and fan of camp camp i just realized something

Now, I’m a violist but it’s basically the same this as a violinist only cooler, since we hold them the same way, and violas are just bigger and have a C string below G instead of an E string above A. anyway,

Daniel holds his violin wrong. (yes, I’ve been looking that hard for ways to nitpick his playing, and it took me a solid month to notice this.)

It’s also not just in that scene, here are more examples.

(circles are to emphasize what i’m nitpicking) He has his wrist against the back of the finger board, and doesn’t use a shoulder rest.

The wrist thing would effect pitch and possibly cause permanent damage to his wrist, especially if he plays like that all the time, and doesn’t stretch. Mr. H (my 8th grade strings instructor) always got onto us about our posture and warned us about the wrist damage, warning us that if we didn’t stop playing when we felt pain and/or didn’t stretch, we could possibly never play again, and damage our wrists pretty badly., like one of his Guitarist friends did.

Without a shoulder rest, it makes it painful to hold up your instrument for a long time. (trust me, I didn’t have one for my viola all throughout the homecoming coronation where we had to play Allegro for 20 minutes straight. It hurt like hell.) it’s your choice, but the best thing to do is get a shoulder rest so you don’t have to hold it upright all the time. I’d let this slide if he was holding it against his chest, instead of on his shoulder, since you have to hold it upright against your chest either way.

Other than that, he has decent posture. His bow hold is good, he doesn’t have his elbow resting on his hips, and is leading with his right foot while standing.(also a thing Mr. H got onto us for. It’s a habit now, and i’m glad of it because my brother can’t knock me over when I’m balanced like that >:D) Luckily, though, most fanart has him holding it properly, so that’s good.

I could have been doing my analysis on Grapes of Wrath for Honours English, but nah, nitpicking the way a fictional character holds his instrument is more fun.

After intensively looking into the works of Bach and Tchaikowsky, Daniel Lozakovich turns for his newest recording to the most important repertoire for the violinist and proves once again his right to be at the top. Three years later, and following numerous collaborations since their first meeting, he reunited with his mentor Valery Gergiev to record Beethoven's Violin Concerto for Deutsche Grammophon with the Munich Philharmonic with whom Lozakovich has been collaborating since the age of fifteen. Lozakovich was clear from the start that this should be a live recording: “There’s a particular magic about a live concert,” he explains. “The audience creates a unique atmosphere, there is a different concentration with the energy of the public and the music becomes more alive.” Watch Daniel Lozakovich and the Munich Philharmonic performing Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 61: Larghetto under the baton of Valery Gergiev.
