It’s because I love you in a different way that you cannot know. It’s because I want you in a different way that you cannot know. Because if I was you, I’d run.

It’s because I want you to love me in a different way that you cannot know. It’s because I want you to want me in a different way that you cannot know. Because if I was you, I’d stay forever.

Just putting in out there, letting it out.

So, I’m 37yo and for the first time in my life in a long distance relationship. Talking to my younger self, she’d say no way. Not long ago, among a group of few friends and new acquaintances, I was asked if I was married (no), single (no), and then if it was complicated (no). But it is difficult. My person and I have met ever since we were teens, but getting to really know each other is the process we are now facing. As an adult it just doesn’t come easy to let yourself be truly known to another, and as a person who believes you learn the true self of someone through actions, distance makes it particularly hard.

Then there is the work and the time you put into it. Even when you are physically present there are doubts, insecurities, the questioning, the distancing. When you are apart all those are multiplied. The amount of work you put into it to fight the distancing, and the physical distance, sometimes is put into question too. Is it really worth it?

Until you realise you are choosing to do it. Because the love exists, the connection exists, the need of having that person in your life exists. I choose to do the work in spite of all that is in between, and that is an action of love.

Dear Leonard, to look life in the face. Always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it. To love it for what it is and then to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us. Always the years. Always the love. Always the hours.

Dá-me o mar, o meu rio, minha calçada. Dá-me o quarto vazio da minha casa. Vou deixar-te no fio da tua fala. Sobre a pele que há em mim tu não sabes nada. Dá-me o mar, o meu rio, a minha estrada. O meu barco vazio na madrugada. Vou deixar-te no frio da tua fala. Na vertigem da voz quando enfim se cala.

A Pele Que Há Em Mim by Márcia e JP Simões

The Corinthian: character abilities

The Corinthian is many things: nightmare, medium that reflect the darkness dwelling in the subconscious of human being, saint patron of serial killers and incomparable babysitter. In addition to all this, there are several references to his other abilities and powers in the comic books.

PHYSICAL STRENGTH

We do not have many opportunities to see the Corinthian fight. In The Kindly Ones, the three most significant occasions are the fight against the wolf, Loki and the spider Nybbas: all very important, as they demonstrate Corinthian's great physical strength; an element this, among others, that allowed him to first retrieve Daniel and then protect him in the castle.

INSPIRE AND COMMAND DREAMERS' THINKING AND ACTION

This apparently is an almost "obvious" aspect (dreams and nightmares inspiring human beings) but very fascinating especially because of the implications it has with a character like the Corinthian. In Overture, during a dramatic confrontation with Morpheus, he makes an explicit accusation against his Lord: he can inspire and command Gilles de Rais, the famous Bluebeard, to commit any kind of nefarious deeds but he himself cannot be the one to do them in the waking world. This suggests a connection between the Corinthian and the ante litteram "collectors" he inspired that precedes his escape into the waking world, though less systematically than he would do later. More importantly, however, the word command implies that the Corinthian's power does not merely inspire, but may also be able to exert substantial action in the real world, albeit indirectly.

CLAIRVOYANCE

Perhaps my favorite, which I fervently hope to see well represented in the TV show in the future! The Kindly Ones reveals to us this gift of the Corinthian: he can use the eyes as a tool to see the past and the future those to whom those eyes belonged (and it is a gift he can offer to others, as seen in The Corinthian Death in Venice). You're sick/No, I am a visionary is one of the most beautiful exchanges in the entire comic! (and it's emblematic that Corinthian refers to himself with this expression).

BODY SWAP

This is an ability shown in Death in Venice: the Corinthian, in the waking world, can takes possession of a man's body (and the man's hair turns white). This is one of his most disturbing and intriguing abilities and not far from the clairvoyance shown in The Kindly Ones: seeing the victims' lives through their eyes could be called a kind of possession, albeit in reverse.

WRITING AND DRAWING

These are perhaps among his best-known talents (thanks also to the splendid Nightmare Country panels). Artistic creation, whether intended symbolically or otherwise, is a concept strongly associated with this character (and words such as visionary, collector, collection refer to the art world). "I am everybody's story. I am Dream's story" he states in The Glass House, and this would presuppose a kind of passive acceptance of his always being a tale, never a narrator. But the Corinthian, when he writes, brings back memories of victories in a life that is not his life. It is precisely inherent in his being the will to be a storyteller and not just a narration (obviously with all that goes with it).
