Alejo Carpentier ~ La città-opera
Gustav Klimt, Music, 1895   Ogni opera ora promoveva ovazioni, mormorii, zittii, esclamazioni, i cui motivi erano del tutto estranei alla qualità della musica o alla riuscita di un’interpretazione.       […] E così, soddisfacendo una vecchia aspirazione, finalmente realizzabile, il Primo Magistrato pensò alla possibilità di metter su una stagione d’opera dentro la città-opera, capitale della…

The MILFnevka AU
Once again something that was brainstormed en masse on the GG fanworks server.
I was... very much spearheading this one, but I dragged in @professorsparklepants for a lot, because Anevka, as well as input from @fenerismoon, @purronronner, @gelpenss​, and @whirlibird. The original conversation took place mid-September of 2019.
AU where Tarvek's side of the family squeezed in an extra generation or so.
Aaronev was still Lu's generation, but he had Anevka young, and she was an only child who was already an adult by the time Lu disappeared. As a result, Aaronev let her married before she ended up in the machine (because he wasn’t desperate yet), and he couldn't risk drawing the attention by the time Agatha’s gen is being born.
So instead of being Tarvek's SISTER, she's his MOM.
Anevka formed her own faction, separate from the Aaronev and vaguely aligned with Terabithia’s.
She insisted Martellus and his branch hang out with Tarvek because being an only child is lonely, and also it keeps Tarvek out of his grandfather's sights and vague plans of body-hopping.
She is a Protective Momma who is a little TOO down with murdering anyone who threatens her child.
Agatha: you're just going to listen to your evil mom? Because no offense but that's worked out really bad for me so far. Tarvek: She's not EVIL, just... Valois... anyway the Baron knows what she's like and mostly he just rolls his eyes and tries to keep her away from Queen DuPree.
Anevka is definitely the mom that uses her position as mother of the king/heir to stockpile as much power as possible and control everything behind the scenes. Tarvek is currently trying to undermine this and wrestle back control as secretly as possible.
Wine mom with eighty hidden stabbing implements.
When Agatha is discovered, Anevka still kills her dad, but it's not like she can steal Agatha's voice in this AU, so she just settles for aggressively matchmaking her with Tarvek.
Anevka's managed to rein her dad in, mostly, because she's a powerful spark with an Undefined Husband who nonetheless has enough good connections to cause a ruckus if he finds out about the Summoning Throne, and he's too sparky to wasp.
This did lead to his early death and no siblings for Tarvek, but not before Anevka managed to fight her dad down to ONLY trying to throne the girls who were legitimately likely to be Agatha.
And then Agatha's in Sturmhalten and Anevka's just like. Well. Time for plan A. And kills her dad.
Regarding Gil...  She kinda wants to pat him on the head and tell him to try harder.
I'm not wholly convinced Tarvek got kicked off of Castle Wulfenbach, depending on how Anevka married and decided to approach things. She might have warned Tarvek to AVOID stealing information, even, if she was worried about Aaronev trying to do something.
Less "do whatever you can to help us gain power" and more "do whatever you can to stay out of Sturmhalten."
Tarvek: My mom is a bitch and I love her so much
Klaus hates it when Anevka comes to CW because she acts like some unholy cross between Lucrezia, Terabithia, and Zantabraxus and she keeps hitting on his top enforcers but with knives and pretty dresses.
Unstoppable Divorce energies
Anevka: Do you like my new dress? Klaus: Your bodice is far too low cut, please stop visiting me dressed like my ex. I'm the same age as your father. Anevka: I know, it's really fun to watch you suffer as you fail to resist the urge to tell me to put on a sweater.
Tarvek: MOTHER YOU'RE EMBARRASSING ME IN FRONT OF ALL MY FRIENDS PLEASE STOP HITTING ON THE BARON AURGH. Anevka: I'm not HITTING on him, I'm trying to make his face turn puce. Anevka: I am, however, hitting on Von Pinn. She looks like she knows how to have fun. Tarvek: MOTHER.
Tarvek, to Gil: the baron can't be your dad, he's old enough to be your grandfather. Gil: He’s at a solid age for both.
Anevka and Klaus have zero actual attraction to each other but there's definitely A Dynamic that's eerily reminiscent of his relationship with Bang, with slightly less "I did a violence, be proud of me" and slightly more "I did a sexy and/or politics, be proud of me."
Tarvek: I have a problem. Gil: What's up? Tarvek: All of our friends want to fuck my mom. Zulenna: I don't. Tarvek: That's because she used to put you in time-out when we were five.
Anevka is prime Dangerous Widow material. She didn't actually kill her husband but a hell of a lot of people think she did.
Seffie thinks her Auntie 'Nevka is the COOLEST
Anevka having an intermittent fling with that "darlingly stupid young hero, Tryggvassen" makes me laugh way too hard and also dips into my nonsense love of Otharnevka.
At one point we did sidle over into “what if Single Father KB tho”
Like they met at some point on vacation while the kids were still kids, which does lose us the “Anevka aggressively ships her kid with Agatha” thing, so I’m not sticking with this but there’s some hella fun tidbits.
Anevka: Guess what. Klaus, very tired: What. Anevka: I'm getting married. Klaus: Again? Good for you. I hope this one lives longer. Anevka: He has the same name as you. Klaus: Get out of my house.
KB isn't a widower, things are just complicated and everyone blames Lu. There's time travel involved, of course.
"So your daughter--" "Sister." "...how--" "Just... just blame my mother."
He's LEGALLY Agatha's dad, maybe? Their dynamic is parent-child. Just, you know, as far as blood goes...
Anevka wants KB to help her bag Othar again. KB thinks she means finally killing him. Anevka: I might. Haven't decided yet.
Overall, though, including KB is too complicated without undermining the entire premise I want. Which is mostly canon but Anevka is Tarvek's embarrassing, mysterious, prone-to-assassination mother.
Seriously though, the entire attraction here is Anevka having the Dangerous Widow Whom No Man Can Tie Down vibe
She's a solo act. Some flings, sure, but overall? Chaos. Refined, elegant chaos.
Anevka as Bang’s sugar mom was suggested. We were obviously all on board.
Bang doesn’t need a sugar mom, but it makes the vein in Klaus's forehead throb, and that's very important.
Bang absolutely tries to get Tarvek to call her “mom” while she’s ‘dating’ Anevka. One time he does call her that and it throws her for SUCH A LOOP because no wrong.
Anevka occasionally daydreams of a world where she could have both Othar and Bang at the same time without them IMMEDIATELY trying to kill each other. Only occasionally, though, she has evidence to plant and blood to spill.
BACK TO ANEVKA SHIPPING HER KID WITH HIS POLITICALLY-APPROPRIATE CRUSH.
Anevka: Oh look, my future daughter-in-law. Tarvek, tired: Mother, she doesn't like me. Anevka: Whyever not? You're clever, handsome, politically apt, charming, sensitive, heir to a throne, you are EVERYTHING a maiden could wish for. Tarvek: You just think that because you're my mom. Agatha: No, no, she's not wrong. You're just not someone I trust. At all. Especially since you say you've been a honeypot before. Anevka: See? A simple hurdle, dear, I'm sure you could whip him into shape in no time. I could even loan you the whip. And the harness, perh-- Tarvek: MOTHER.
Anevka sends Tarvek out with Othar for “field trips.”
It’s great!! Multi-purpose! Absolutely helps boost Tarvek’s image if he’s associated with Known Hero, gets Othar out of her hair for a little bit, sometimes he can be pointed in a direction that’s useful to her.
Othar refers to this outings as “stepfather-stepson bonding times.” Tarvek absolutely hates it. Detests it, really.
Somehow something goes wrong and like 50% of the time and he ends up getting accused of murder, probably.
It’s so unfair. Especially since of the two of them, Othar is more likely to murder than him. (It’s because everyone knows what those Valois types are like, and Othar is a hero.)
Gil: What's so embarrassing about your mom? Your mom's nice. (To me.)
She gives him head pats and lollipops. His own dad certainly never gives him head pats OR lollipops.
Anevka: Well I WAS going to push him towards dear little Seffie, but he seems to be quite enamored with YOU, darling. Tarvek: Mother, PLEASE stop getting invested in my love life.
Anevka’s job is to meddle, he’s lucky she isn’t drawing up contracts and going Full Arrangement.
I also love the idea of Anevka having one of those "sunshine embodied anime mom" smiles as she says "Oh Tarvek, dear, look at all your little friends!"
She's genuinely enthused but Klaus is heavily disturbed by Anevka smiling like that.
"Is she going to sacrifice them?" "Uh, no, it isn't Sunday."
Human sacrifice is actually garish and passe these days, haven’t you heard?
Just imagining one of those Stately Child and Parent portraits with Anevka and Tarvek here.
When Tarvek was born, Anevka has an "I've only had my son for an hour and a half" moment... and then just shrugged and rolled with it.
Anevka "Hot Mom" Sturmvoraus is one of the MANY banes of Klaus's existence, but she's definitely one of the friendliest on the list... as much as he may resent that, at times.
Anevka: Is the Baron in? Boris: Actually... [Crashing noise] Boris: He just left. Anevka, pulling on the rocket boots she stole from Othar and heading towards the broken window leading to the outside of the ship: That's alright, I'll catch up.
(I love how Anevka's name just lends itself so well to AU portmanteaus.)
Anevka definitely susses out Gil's identity but she doesn't actually DO anything about it other than angling for Useful Connections.
She's always telling Tarvek to bring his friend along, and Klaus doesn't want Gil anywhere near that family but he doesn't want it to look like he has any particular interest in Gil.
Imagine Klaus actually encouraging Gil to persue Agatha with the idea that it will put some distance between Gil and "that damn woman and her spawn." Anevka for her part is pushing Agatha towards Tarvek. Meanwhile the three of them are working it out between themselves.
She just has This Energy, folks:
Tumblr media
Tarvek: Oh no. Theo: Whats the matter? That's your mom, right? Tarvek: Oh NO, she's wearing her 'NEWLY WIDOWED BUT OUT ON THE PROWL' OUTFIT Theo: ????? She hasn’t been widowed- Tarvek: SHES AFTER THE BARON AND I'M GOING TO DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT, THEO
The one thing here is that Anevka's not into Klaus and he's not into her but by GOD is she going to fuck with his head about it.
She’s just doing this for the Big Dick Energy of trying to Get Baron Wulfenbach.
Embarrassing mom of the deadliest degree.
Tarvek: YOU’RE GOING TO RUIN MY LIFE. Anevka: Don't be so dramatic, let your mother have a bit of fun. Besides, he's not expelling you anymore, is he? Tarvek: I almost wish he was-
Also Gil and Tarvek reconciling early on due to the immense power of being Embarrassed By Your Parents.
Anevka and Klaus getting increasingly bitchy at each other at dinner, and Tarvek and Gil are just. Bright red and glowering at them.
They’re DESTROYING their COOL TEEN CRED.
Tarvek doesn't ever wants to marry a woman who has been married before, not because of some weird distaste of so-called "sloppy seconds," but rather that he's just scared that they're going to be like his mom, and planning to kill him for his money.
Tarvek, waking up in the middle of the night: What if they really do get married and I have to have Gil as a stepbrother. Tarvek: (screams internally for a few hours)
Anevka is also that Sailor J contouring video
While Otharnevka is... this thing
Some more relevant Vibes: Divorce Court Half-Mourning Upper East Side Widow
Everyone always assumed she had murdered her husband. It was a natural assumption, but ultimately wrong. She had had plans in place to kill him if the need arose, but in the end she hadn’t needed them.
Most people grossly underestimated how complicated it was to arrange for someone to be t-boned by a semi carrying flammable chemicals.
Othar as Anevka's second trophy husband and Tarvek's annoying stepdad has a very specific energy.
That energy is at least 20% "the lovebirds take anniversary honeymoons every year" and 60% "Tarvek hates being in the room with them because they're gross and embarrassing."
This is partly fun because Othar being Tarvek’s stepdad is... a lot.
But honestly, I'm also just enjoying cougar Anevka with Trophy Husband Othar. They're actually in love!!! BUT. Cougar with a trophy husband.
Anevka makes sly comments about Othar and Klaus having sexual tension.
Also I have headcanons about NB Tarvek and like
I think she'd be supportive up until the point of "you want to be Storm King, don't you?"
Less "this isn't natural and you shouldn't be this way" and more "this is going to cause you trouble due to social norms."
"Keep it under wraps until your throne is secure, then you can come out in a blaze of glory." No dresses in public until you're king, then do whatever you want. After all, “Your Majesty” is gender neutral.
Anevka caught Tarvek playing dressup in her closet one time and just criticized the color relationships.
And you must try to avoid wearing that particular shade at all, my dear, it really doesn't look imperial.

Girl Genius Liveblog #214
UPDATE 214: Cheyenne Wright’s Court of Revenants
Last time the party to celebrate adopted prince Hoffman’s wedding came to an unfortunate end when it was revealed a lot of the diplomats and varied influential people are revenants for the Other. How will the heroes get out of this predicament? Let’s see if that’s found out today!
The problem with people being, well, diplomats and influential people is that you can’t just shoot them and be done. Agatha and the rest will have to run away and harm them as little as possible, and then I’m sure Colette is going to spend a couple hours sending letters to everyone those diplomats work for, informing them their ambassadors are under Lucrezia’s influence. But yeah, first they’ll have to run.
As usual, Agatha has an idea. She has a device she wants to try! And for that, she’ll need to hammer it down onto the ground. Well, there’s a bear over there. If slamming the device with a hammer wouldn’t break it, I’m sure the bear would be able to do what Agatha wants and not break it.
Tumblr media
Or they could do that, I guess. I’m sure Jagers have thicker bones and general endurance, but still, that must have hurt.
The current problems are interrupted to bring forth an image of winter in Mechanisburg, so far unseen.
Tumblr media
Or at least what it’ll be like in winter once the time bubble is gone. I see poor Moloch is still stuck here, having to shovel the entire walkway. You’re the chief minion, Moloch! You should be able to get somebody else to do this for you, maybe many somebodies.
The device’s function is shown pretty quickly, it sends an electrical charge through the floor and knocks out anyone who is touching it. Pretty effective, and harmless to the public in general. I wonder if the revenants will remember any of this when they wake up.
Regardless, the king is coming! And...he’ll find the wedding celebration all ruined. Agatha better be ready to explain what happened, because if this ruins the relations between these two underground kingdoms, Hoffman’s grades will suffer.
Tumblr media
...why is Cheyenne Wright the king? Goodness, what a curious state of matters. Phil Foglio is a traveling storyteller who suffers misfortune every once in a while, Kaja Foglio is...I remember she’s into opera, and now Cheyenne Wright is an underground civilization monarch. This is great.
Another new year, this time it is 2016. Almost four years of story left for me to read. Now that I think about it, I think I already passed the point Girl Genius was at when I started the liveblog. Somehow I’m catching up, I can’t believe this.
Since Cheyenne Wright here admitted to his allegiance to Lucrezia, he can’t let these witnesses get away, he sends his mooks to go deal with them. As usual, the minions are not prepared to fight impressive people such as Agatha and friends, including newlyfound friends such as Hoffman. As if the minions weren’t already having enough trouble, someone makes the wall explode and knocks Cheyenne Wright out, right when he was yelling something I’m guessing was ‘Stop them all!’ but he only managed to say ‘stop’
Tumblr media
Hah! I like this, but at the same time I’m wondering if lately Agatha has been getting distracted by random stuff too often these days. It’s strange, I don’t remember her doing that before.
Anyway, the person who knocked out the king and saved them is none other than Boris! The four-armed assistant Wulfenbach has. Nice! Honestly I like Boris, if only because he seems interesting. It’s too bad the story doesn’t let him do much, really. He’s nothing more than a trusted secretary. Maybe he’ll get a chance to do more than that.
Getting away isn’t too difficult, I think. Caving the tunnel they used to get in was fine, and even if the king’s minions can dig, this should give Agatha and the rest enough time to put some distance. They’ll be fine, as long as Boris doesn’t try to drag Agatha to Castle Wulfenbach or something.
This whole thing may have been thanks to a lady named Larana, the princess of this kingdom, the one whose father just got unconscious and whose palace exploded. Well at least she seems to be fully on the side that isn’t Lucrezia’s, so that puts her miles above so many people in this place, haha.
Tumblr media
Ah, yeah. Nothing says ‘embarrassing parent’ like your mother taking over your body and also trying to conquer Europa. Also, someone else’s father following her like a cultist. Parents, am I right?
Getting away should be easy, Larana will make the boats they’re not using explode so the minions will have trouble following them. In the middle of all this, Larana shows her obvious crush for Hoffman. Oh boy, Paris truly is the city of love – of clumsy love, hah!
Well this is a bit of short update, but I’ll have to end it here.
Next time: in two updates

BUONASERA!
YOU ARE FORMALLY INVITED TO THE PARTY OF THE YEAR, THE CASTELVECCHIO GALA. PLEASE JOIN US IN VERONA, ITALY TO CELEBRATE ART, BEAUTY AND PASSION. THIS YEAR’S THEME IS LOVE & WAR - FOR ALL IS FAIR IN LOVELY VERONA.
Founded in 1985 by the WITCHES who vowed to devote their lives in service of perfection and beauty, the Castelvecchio Gala is Italy’s most exclusive event in the name of art, culture and fashion. Once a year, every eye in Italy turns to Verona as the most well-known names in the country gather in the same city. It is more than a red carpet, it is more than a fashion show; it is a celebration of the highest level of talent and beauty in the country, a party planned only for Italy’s best.
But the Castelvecchio Gala is more than just the party of the year; it’s a battleground for a long and bitter competition that reaches its peak on one day of the year. For only two names matter in the world of art and entertainment: Capulet and Montague. Both own a wealth of record labels, production studios, talent agencies and more, with the best and brightest names in the industry under their representation. You work for one of those companies, and they own you. They lay claim over your soul and your artistry, and you humbly give it because you know. You know that the only way to become anyone is through their seal of approval. They offer more than a company and a brand. They offer a family that binds your success to theirs. With their name under your belt, you are promised more than just a job; you are guaranteed a legacy.
And whichever company has the most seats at the table wins the unofficial title of best in the business.  
The WITCHES have made a calculated and perhaps cruel risk to host each attendee at their fine establishment, the Hotel Emilia. Every detail is taken care of, and only the finest of accommodations are permitted - and how can anyone say no to their kindness? Italy’s best will fly into Verona one week before the gala, with plenty of time to explore the city and become reacquainted with one another.
Life is long and rivalries are longer, but the witches love a spectacle and they so hate to be disappointed.
OVERVIEW: Welcome to part one of our month-long AU event! Your characters have just arrived in Verona and have exactly one week until the Castelvecchio Gala. Note that the locations will remain the same but are no longer assigned to territories -- all of Verona is safe and all characters are free to roam the city without consequence. Please timestamp all threads from MARCH 29, 2019 to APRIL 5, 2019. Below is a list of each character’s new occupation; if you have any concerns, please reach out to the admin team and we are happy to adjust accordingly. Feel free to complete any threads that are in progress and in-game throughout the month, but we ask that our members do not begin any new in-game threads until the event of the AU month is concluded. As always, if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate and have fun!

Richard Crooks
Today, I added a new song to my favorites list titled: "Mi par d'udir Ancora" an opera song sung by my cousin, Richard Crooks. Richard was an opera tenor and a lead singer of the New York Metropolitan Opera, both a place and relative I had no idea existed until a few weeks ago.
My last name is odd, but the amount of family I have makes the Kennedys seem like a small clan, meaning I never rule out anyone with the Crooks name. The origin of my last name comes from the name Crooke, and the earliest recording of that name dates to pre-1700. Andrew and William Crooke were English publishers, significant in publishing Renaissance dramas and plays. From there, my family's origin doesn't resurface until we arrive in America from Ireland in 1800, where we reemerge as the Crooks.  
To explain, this isn't the first time in life I have stumbled upon relatives I didn't know I had. The problem with Irish migrants is that not only when they arrived in America their last names were changed or misspelled, but they also landed here without any documentation. My immediate clan were farmers, and from what I was told, we settled in Virginia and made our way down to upstate South Carolina, landing in Seneca. Having a great grandfather who was one of thirteen children and a grandfather who was one of eight makes for many cousins, but my elders were never much for sharing their lives and origins. We are a family of many secret affairs, secret love children, and not-so-secret alcoholics. Making my search of how Richard came into play feel like the most complicated piece to a puzzle. Not surprised but curious, I immediately started looking for where that piece fit; once I discovered that Richards parents were cousins of my great grandparents, it all made sense.
Richard Crooks was born the second son of Alexander and Elizabeth Crooks on June 26, 1900, in Trenton, New Jersey. Following several concert seasons as an oratorio and song recital specialist, including the American premiere of Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, he traveled to Germany, where he made his operatic debut in Hamburg Cavaradossi in Puccini's Tosca in 1927. After his tour in other European cities such as Berlin, he returned to the US and made his American debut in 1930 in Philadelphia. He became a lead star of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, specializing in French and Italian operas. He participated in the farewell gala on March 29, 1936, for Spanish soprano Lucrezia Bori, which was broadcast nationally.
From 1928 to 1945, Crooks was the host of "The Voice of Firestone" radio broadcasts, in which he sang operatic arias, patriotic songs, folk songs, and popular hits such as "People Will Say We're In Love" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Oklahoma! in 1943. He also appeared on radio broadcasts with Bing Crosby, who remained a friend until Crooks' death.
For his work in recording, he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 1648 Vine Street.
A lot of information to take in, and none of which I’ve been exposed to living in Greenville for almost thirty years.  I am vocally challenged, just like the rest of my family who cannot carry a tune, so to find that a member of our family helped craft an entire genre of music and was rewarded for it immensely is quite remarkable. This fan of my cousin is one of many, and the reason he reached out to me is because, like myself, he couldn't figure out which Crooks was a descendant. I had no idea until my research that I have almost forty other cousins just on Richards's side of the family. I explained to this fan that he could jump off a boat into the middle of the ocean without knowing how to swim and have a better chance at surviving than I would have finding which relative possess the item he is trying to find. Richard's children have already passed away, and his many grandchildren are impossible to find since they are spread all over the west coast, his great-grandchildren, and even their children, I don't have names for. Thanks to his many fans, this has shed light on another part of my family I didn't know I had.
If I could find these cousins and understand more about Richard and his legacy, that would be great. It would explain a lot of creativity in my genetics (not the singing kind, of course). I will continue to find answers from his fans and the recorded stories of his work until I can't compile anymore. Maybe one day, I will get to speak with the family I don't know and remind them what so many still love about Richard's music and contributions to opera.
