ub watching eurovision
im going to be using eurovision 2021 for this since it was my favourite from the last 10 years so beware.
Adam/Ava
Would act like they are not really interested but would actually get very invested.
I think their favourite would be France's 'Voila' not only because it's in french but because it's just a simple nice ballad. (Also if them and the detective are..uhm...involed the lyrics could be....relatable)
Would get incredibly competitive during the voting. Would never actually cheer when a country gave France 12 points but their whole body would tense and they would just whisper 'yes!!' under their breath.
they would be so smug omg. they would be sooo sure that france would win. their smug smirk would be DESTROYED the second italy got their televotes.
would get mad that cyprus and greece gave points to each other and would go 'of course you fucking would.'
would get even MORE MAD that france lost and got 2nd place. Farah/Felix would tease them about it during the whole night while they grind their teeth together and proceed to break something of the detective's :(
Farah/Felix
They would have so much fun oml. The best person to watch eurovision with.
that being said i dont think they would know what eurovision is lol (but would force the entire team + tina to watch it live once they found out)
Dances to every song that has a danceble rythm. sings along most of the time whenever they understand (they would just dance so HARD to ukrain man)
I think they would like 10 years by Iceland the most. It's just their whole vibe in general and also if they are in a relationship with the detective they would want it to be 'their song'
i feel like they would know who flo rida was, so they would just go 'wHAT IS HE DOING HERE???'
would attempt that high note from israel but would stop when Morgan/Mason threataned to punch them through the wall.
i feel like they would like ukrain, lithuania, malta and germany too. they would burst into tears the moment they saw that middle finger costume
would cheer whenever someone gave 12 points to Iceland or and just scream when they got their televotes.
would be confused about A being mad about the cyprus and the greece thing and A would have to explain the whole thing to them.
but in general i think there wouldn't be a performance they didn't like (except england, they would make fun of england so bad bro) and they would still be like 'yay!!' when italy won, would never shut up about france losing though, just to tease A
Nate/Nat
would be very excited and interested, say that it's about celebrating differences and just enjoy the vibe.
i think they would like songs that had parts in them that represented their country, as they would believe that's what eurovision is all about.
that being said...their favourite would still be portugal lol. i feel like that's something they would enjoy. but they would enjoy switzerland, azerbeijan and ukrain as well as france (i actually think france could be their favorite as well? idk) . i feel like they would be a little shook after ukrain lmao. like '....oh! that was pretty nice!'
would cringe physically once they saw england. would lowkey refuse to watch it as F made fun of them
would still be shocked and lowkey offended when UK got 0 points though LMAO
they would be still happy with the end results and try and not laugh at A's reaction.
Morgan/Mason
would be extremely uninterested until 1.greece's performance and they would go...wtf was that and would be uninterested again until 2. finland would come along and they would be like 'hmmm. ok i guess thats cool.'
their favourite would def be italy. that's when they would pay full attention and lowkey tap their feet to the rythm
would have to leave the fckn room when israel pulled that high note and be convinced to come back, would seriously be tempted do so again once switzerland came along
they would smirk when italy won but wouldn't say anything, would just enjoy their small victory from the sidelines.

Lisbon 2018 – Grand Final
Host: Portugal Slogan: “All Aboard!” Participants: 43 Voting method: 12-point system (50/50 system - separated) Format: 2 Semi-Finals / Grand Final = the top 10 of semi 1 & 2 + the Big 5 + host
Winner: Netta - Toy Country: Israel Points: 529 (52.5% of highest score possible) Language: English
General Overview:
I kept putting off reviewing 2018 because I remembered it being a “meh” year. I was dissatisfied in the winner. Many of my faves didn't qualify. And most of the songs seemed forgettable? After all this writing, I'd still rank 2018 towards the bottom of the decade, but it's ahead of 2011 and 2017 at least. For reference, my fave contest of each decade would be: 1956, 1969, 1977, 1980, 1997, 2009, 2012 and 2021.
The opening sequence is exactly same as the two semi-finals (ie. the montage of local people and culture). But since it's the Grand Final, there is an opening act this time! It begins with someone playing a Portuguese guitar, then Ana Moura and Mariza sing some fado music. Mariza's song includes a soft-sounding marching band across the stage. The flag parade happens next, with two DJ's playing contemporary beats to soundtrack it. There's also sailors holding the flags.
Then it's the host introductions. Like I said in SF1, I enjoyed their comedy this year. I especially loved Filomena in the Green Room. And lol at the hosts insinuating that the shirtless stagehand was naked underneath the graphic. There was also a dedication to Lys Assia, who passed earlier in 2018, which was nice.
The interval isn't as bloated as other recent contests. It starts with Branko playing some tranquil dance music, featuring 4 different soloists, one at a time. First it's Sara Tavares (from the 1994 contest) holding a long note, then Plutónio raps, followed by Dino D'Santiago singing inside this silhouette visual effect, and finally Mayra Andrade is joined by dancers on the walkway. They have soothing voices. Next, there's a video on why it took Portugal 53 years to win. Then Suzy from 2014 makes a surprise appearance. And lastly, Salvador Sobral performs two songs: a piano ballad called “Mano a mano” (meh to this one), where he pounds the piano casing at one point, and a reprise of his winning song, as a duet with Caetano Veloso.
The postcards involve the artists exiting a door in places where a door shouldn't be. Like on top of a cliff or something. They aren't attached to a building. Which makes them look like portals. It's as if the artists teleported to Portugal from their home country. Upon entering Portugal, they explore the area and do an activity. Then they take a selfie, as “#AllAboard” appears on screen. Then the flag colours are displayed on a sea anemone graphic. And lastly, there's an adjustment sound to start each performance. The portal doors are what I associate with 2018, like the hallway in 2017.
The stage is designed like a gyroscope. The performance platform is the center circle, with 3 gigantic rings overhead, kind of like archways. Each ring is on a different inclination/angle. There's also a circular walkway ramp cutting through the audience that acts as the 4th ring (on a 0° angle). On either side of the stage, there is a bridge that connect to the ramp. And just like 2010, there is no LED screen. Instead, the back of the stage is constructed of wavy vertical bars.
2018 was a battle between Israel and Cyprus… but not according to the juries. They put Austria and Sweden top 2, which the public weren't as fond of. Early on, the jury vote was a tight race between those 4 countries and Germany. Then it became a battle between Israel and Austria. Then Sweden caught up with Austria. In the end, Israel won the televote, putting them way ahead of both. As for the correspondents: Sweden's Felix Sandman wore Benjamin's merch and Latvia's Dagmāra Legante made a Kanye West joke.
Ukraine: Mélovin - Under the Ladder 3rd year in a row where the SF2 closer opens the Grand Final. I did not expect the juries to rank this last.
Spain: Amaia & Alfred - Tu canción This is like the sweetest love song ever. Yeah, the couple broke up a few months later, but most relationships don't last anyways. Feelings change over time. You live in the moment, and this was how they felt in May 2018. On stage, they look smitten with their cute smiles and eye contact. The opening shot shows them standing far apart in dark lighting, while the audience's phone lights shine behind them. Then the camera spins around Alfred and zooms in on Amaia, as they trade lead vocals. Afterwards, the pair slowly walks towards each other. They hold hands, they embrace. And the camera continues spin around them at certain points. The song itself is a classy, old-fashioned, stuffy ballad. But it also has a tender, romantic texture and a very nice melody. Plus Amaia & Alfred's voices are sweet. “Tu canción” starts with slow, sparse piano notes. Said piano increases in the first chorus, where the strings sneak in. Then the second verse/chorus adds in low-key percussion and makes the strings more noticeable. While the bridge sees the instrumental quiet, then intensify, then stop upon the final chorus. Then the song finally “bursts open”. That “OHHH OHHH” build-up is very effective. I also like the “Siento que bailo…” hook. The lyrics involve Amaia & Alfred expressing their love to each other. Alfred says flying to the moon now feels real; Amaia says his voice shelters her. It's very lovey dovey.
Slovenia: Lea Sirk - Hvala, ne! “STOP THE MUSIC!”
Lithuania: Ieva Zasimauskaitė - When We're Old
Austria: Cesár Sampson - Nobody but You
Estonia: Elina Nechayeva - La forza
Norway: Alexander Rybak - That's How You Write a Song A semi-final winner placing 15th in the grand final is unexpected.
Portugal: Cláudia Pascoal - O jardim Better than the song they won with. This did not deserve last place, although 39 points is pretty high for that. I can see how “O jardim” was overlooked though – not much happens in the song. There's no big melody, no epic climax. Instead, the song's purpose is to maintain a specific mood. That mood is peaceful grieving. Isaura wrote “O jardim” about her late grandmother. The lyrics repeat the phrase “Now that you're not here, I'll water your garden”, as if this thought keeps circling in her mind. She literally takes care of her grandmother's garden to keep her memory alive. The verses don't translate to English very well, however. The music starts with slow, sad piano notes. Then this subtle anxious sound is added underneath, followed by tiny acoustic tings. Then, from 1:36-2:07, the beat switches to a series of metal spring sounds and inconsistent jittery taps. It's a cool sound and it's my favourite part. It doesn't change the mood either. This is also when Isaura comes on stage and turns “O jardim” into a duet. The ending is minimalist and like a light howl. “O jardim” is all about simplicity. Doing anything extra wouldn't work. Cláudia gives a sensitive vocal too. She seems tearful at the end. On stage, she starts in a dark silhouette. She closes her eyes. She sways a bit. There's spotlights behind her. The stage doesn't feel like it's missing anything though. I also like how Cláudia's voice jumps out at certain points.
United Kingdom: SuRie - Storm The UK is back to flopping. “Storm” is infamous for the stage invader, but the Grand Final video on YouTube replaced her performance with a rehearsal. SuRie sings this with genuine compassion for her family, but the song is bland. The chorus is 'whatever' to me, both melodically and lyrically. The “Toge-e-ether” and “sto-o-orm” hooks are weak. And the lyrics are basic. The “spread your love...” bridge is climactic though. In the verses, SuRie addresses her brother, sister, mother and father one at a time. She reminds her siblings of their childhood worldview (their fearless hopes and dreams), and says she still believes in this stuff. Then she asks her mom if she did good enough. The chorus is her reassuring they'll overcome the storm together. It's an uplifting song with a straightforward message. But it lacks depth I guess? The instrumental only grabs my attention in a few spots too. The song starts with the piano, but quickly adds foot taps, squeals, submerged quivers and finger snaps. The chorus then diminishes back to the piano, before it accelerates via heavy claps; leading the second half bulldozing through with drums and whirls. The second chorus also starts dramatically, with stomps and sawing strings instead. The bridge uses dramatic boom-claps as well. Later, the song returns to the piano before the last chorus. And the outro repeats the bridge lyric. On stage, SuRie stands at the front of a tunnel made of lit-up squares. There's also pyro upon the last chorus.
Serbia: Sanja Ilić & Balkanika - Nova deca Actually her voice is kind of annoying.
Germany: Michael Schulte - You Let Me Walk Alone The only time Germany wasn't bottom 2 during 2015-2023. All it took was a personal, sincere, down-to-Earth ballad to reach top 5. That's how Ireland kept winning! But it sounds like an Ed Sheeran ballad, and I don't like Ed Sheeran (I also hear Adele's “Someone Like You”). The “1-2-3” hook (“1 love / 2 hearts / 3 kids”) is kinda annoying too. And the lyrics are messy. In the song, Michael reflects on growing up without his father, who passed away when Michael was young. However, the wording of “one love”, “loving mum” and “You let me walk this road alone” makes it sound like his father chose to abandon him. There's no mention of a “loving dad”. Still, if this were written in another language, would I even notice? Lines like “I was told that you were too” and “My childhood hero will always be you” still get to me. He sees his father in himself. He misses his father when he needs guidance. His dad provided protection and wisdom. Musically, the verses follow a quick back-and-forth piano. Then the piano is more pronounced in the chorus. The strings come in later. There's an “oh oh oh” bridge. Plus some crashes towards the end. And the drums enter to carry the final chorus. I'm not crazy about this arrangement, but I don't mind the “every now and then” hook. The stage starts darkly lit. Then, a semi-circle LED screen acts as a lyric video behind Michael. It also shows family photos, which really pulls at the heartstrings. And there's hypnotic images during the bridge.
Albania: Eugent Bushpepa - Mall
France: Madame Monsieur - Mercy France is my #2 again! “Mercy” tells the harrowing, but fortunate, story of Nigerian refugee Taiwo Yussif giving birth on a rescue ship. She named the baby “Mercy”. The title is play on words, since “merci” means “thank you” in French. The lyrics are from the POV of the baby. She recounts how her mother fled the war at home. They had nothing to lose. The sea (or “blue immensity”) became the enemy. She was lucky to even be born (“They offered me a hand / And I'm alive”). The song addresses how not every refugee has a happy ending like this. Many of them don't make it. The title implies they deserve mercy. The instrumental and Émilie's voice capture the mood of this situation well. It's a bleak and distressed vibe, but with a message of perseverance. The song starts with minuscule guitar plucks and finger snaps, followed by some cowbell(?). Then a snap-shut transition starts the chorus, which has a fuller sound, and includes distorted cry responses and some “pippity pips” appearing midway. The chorus has a great melody too. The song later quiets for the bridge. And the outro repeats a chant of “merci, merci”, as the duo pushes their hands forward, and the audience joins in. Maybe they could've done something more with the stage though. They're dressed in funeral black. They walk forward in unison. The camera follows her across the stage bridge. And they're on the audience ramp for the “merci, merci” chant. But it needed something more.
Czech Republic: Mikolas Josef - Lie to Me HE DID THE FLIP!!
Denmark: Rasmussen - Higher Ground It's just missing something to make my top 10.
Australia: Jessica Mauboy - We Got Love This could've been an anthem.
Finland: Saara Aalto - Monsters A borderline qualifier that flopped in the final.
Bulgaria: Equinox - Bones
Moldova: DoReDoS - My Lucky Day
Sweden: Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance You Off “With 21 points... Sweden”
Hungary: AWS - Viszlát nyár I think he screams even more in the final.
Israel: Netta - Toy (winner review below)
Netherlands: Waylon - Outlaw in 'Em
Ireland: Ryan O'Shaughnessy - Together
Cyprus: Eleni Foureira - Fuego
Italy: Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro - Non mi avete fatto niente I was puzzled by the 249 televote points... until I realized “Non mi” references several, then-recent, terrorist attacks (Cairo churches, La Rambla Street, 2015 Paris attacks, London Bridge, the truck in Nice). Plus 9/11 “skyscrapers” and 7/7 “subways”. Most of these happened in Eurovision countries. It must've struck a chord. The lyrics are also displayed in various languages so viewers can understand them, along with faces in the fonts. The chorus is an emphatic “You did nothing to me”, saying the terrorists didn't win. Life continues. It's just “pointless wars”. The song doesn't hide the horrific reality either: “blood in the sewer”; “arms without hands”; “mothers without children”. It also finds commonality in religions, dismisses racism, and says mass murder isn't a valid belief. And that “the smile of a child” shows resilience. This is a wordy, lyrically dense song. The duo sings SO quickly to cram everything in that it makes the melody ineffective, despite the up-and-down pattern. I also dislike Fabrizio's hoarse screams at the end, even if it expresses fury. Ermal wails after the bridge too. The instrumental is restless though. It starts with a twinkly guitar and light stomps, then light jingles. There's some slam-downs in the first chorus. Then the second verse increases the tempo into a folksy scared running drum beat. There's some guitar wails later. And the bridge quiets down when they walk to separate bridges. “Non mi” has a strong message and it isn't a cheesy peace song; but it's just not something I seek out much.
The Winner:
Israel achieves their 4th win, exactly 20 years after their 3rd... which was exactly 20 years after their 1st. I guess they'll win again in 2038? Between “Diva” and “Toy”, Israel's results were all over the place: 4 top 10s, 6 NQs, and several times in the bottom half of the scoreboard. The juries ranked “Toy” 3rd, but Netta's 317 televote points were more than enough. Weirdly, the semi-final was the opposite, where the juries were more favourable than the public.
This is an annoying song, but the chicken noises make it worse. “Toy” starts a cappella, with Netta making a bunch of strange mouth sounds (“*bird trill*, ouch, hey!, hm, la!”). Then the backing comes in and she starts clucking like a chicken. This irritating intro lasts for 20+ seconds. It's such a “WTF” moment. It makes for a memorable first impression, but it turns “Toy” into a borderline joke entry. Once the instrumental starts, there's some “Ethnic pop” elements. Verse 1 contains casual hand drums, bass stomps that stop every few seconds, and a couple short jerks. Then the pre-chorus diminishes to a soft synth, before building up with beeps and a squeaky sound, as Netta clucks again. Then the chorus roars and bulldozes through (with more beeps), followed by a string-y post-chorus that rolls around, where the backing shouts “CULULUU”. Those “CULULUU”s are almost as irritating as the chicken noises. This is a weird criticism, but the chorus sounds too much like a Eurovision song. I get bored of it. The second verse starts with video game pew-pews. Then the bridge interrupts the second chorus, leading to a big vocal note on “BOYYYYY”, which transitions to the next string-y bit. The song pulls back again partway through the last chorus. And Netta finishes on another big note (“TOYYYYY”). The song is vengeful and in-your-face and Netta brings attitude and personality. The backing responses of “not your toy/stupid boy” are catchy too.
But the message is hard to take seriously when it's communicated in such a silly way. The lyrics were inspired by the #MeToo movement (“I'll take you down now!”), where Netta rejects being a man's toy, calling him a “stupid boy”. Her vocal has a bratty, ridiculing, and immature tone. She says the boys are too loud and forgot how to play the game. She doesn't care about their money or the “modern-time preachers”. And she makes chicken noises to insinuate he's a coward (like when someone goes “bawk bawk bawk”). The lyrics also mention childhood interests – teddy bear, Barbie, Simon Says, Pikachu, dolls, Wonder Woman – which adds a darker layer to this. The narrator sounds like a little girl. “You're stupid just like your smart.. PHONE!” is a funny line though. There's even a smartphone ding during it. “My Simon Says 'leave me alone'” is clever too, with respecting consent. And “Barbie got something to say” challenges the Barbie stereotypes. There's also a couple Hebrew phrases (“ani lo buba” and “stefa”) and the Japanese word “Baka” (stupid person). But I also think “On the MadaBaka beat” is a censored version of “MF-ing beat”. Apparently “Trump-pam-pau” is a Trump reference too. The lyrics say a lot... in the verses anyways. “Stupid boy” is a childish insult.
On stage, Netta is dressed in a kimono, with two bookcases full of golden cat figurines wagging their tails behind her. She also uses this touch pad thing, which spells the word “H-E-Y”. Meanwhile, the camera will cut to the 3 backing dancers making funny poses and dance moves. They start on the stage bridge, but join Netta later on. And everyone is on the audience ramp at the end. They also flap their arms like a chicken during the clucking. And there's some pyro for the first chorus. The dancers are funny at least.
Ultimately, this, “I Wanna” and “Hard Rock Hallelujah” are the closest to a novelty song winning. I don't think this is what Salvador had in mind during his winning speech... it must've been awkward to hand Netta the trophy. Also, Jack White was later added as a songwriter for similarities to “Seven Nation Army”... I don't hear it.
Verdict: “D” Tier. Catchy but everything about this is annoying.

Today we also celebrate the Holy Virgin Martyr Chryse of Rome and those with her. Saint Chryse was arrested and brought for interrogation in the year 269, along with over twenty others. She bravely confessed herself a Christian and was subjected to torture. After horrible torments, she was drowned in the sea. With St. Chryse suffered the martyrs Ares, Felix, Maximus, Herculianus, Venerius, Stiracius, Mennas, Commodus, Hermes, Maurus, Eusebius, Rusticus, Monagrius, Amandinus, Olympius, Cyprus, Theodore the Tribune, Maximus the Presbyter, Archelaus the Deacon, and Cyriacus the Bishop. May she intercede for us always + Source: http://ww1.antiochian.org/node/17354 (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCgsxfP3ji/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let's Read Together the So Called "Lost Gospel of Q"
COMMENTARY:
Quelle is the surveillance archive of Jesus activities that the Tenth Legion began when Jesus appeared above the Roman military horizon and took command of John the Baptiste's Repentance agenda.
The contours of Quelle are indicated throughout the Gospels and Acts by the apparatus of εὐθὺς   This mechanism identifies  either pericopes which originate entirely in Quelle or are authenticated by Quelle and represents materials that were collected by the Roman spy network before Resurrection, generally and before He was arrested with the exception of Acts 10:16, which is Peter's testimony that becomes the template for unpacking the contents of Quelle and acts as the spine of the narrative of the Gospel of Mark, which is written by Cornelius immediately after this encounter with Peter and the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the spirit of God. In essence, Cornelius is guided by the Holy Spirit as his Muse.
For example, Mark 1:4 - 8 actually exists in what is to become Quelle before Jesus comes on the scene and is a summary of the material employed by Josephus in his portrait of John the Baptist in The Jewish Wars. The 10th Legion occupies the Galilee throughout the tenure of Pilate and, in the investment of Jerusalem, occupies Mount of Olives.
And example of Quelle verifying testimony is John 19:34, which is verified by the centurion in Mark 15:39 to Pilate in Mark 15:45. The detail of blood and water is essential to the splitting of Jesus as in the covenant cutting ceremony that is ratified by the Talking Cross of the Gospel of Peter.
In terms of the narrative arc of the Gospel of Mark, Peter's executive summary of Jesus's career in Acts 10:34 - 43 becomes the template Cornelius overlays on the timestamp of each bit of material in Quelle.
The Hegel Historic Gestalt of the Jesus narrative goes on Roman Standard Time  in Acts with Acts 10 and  the narrative of the Gospel of Mark begins and ends on Roman Standard Time. The conceit of the mythicist, militant anti-theist  and Jesus Seminar that there is no historicity to Acts need to deny the temporal benchmarks of Acts 10, Acts 12 on Cyprus, Acts 18 and the judgement of Gallio, brother to Seneca and Felix, who was one of Pilate's successors in Caesarea.
In terms of both literature and history, Quelle acts like the paper cone of Cotton Candy that begins to accumulate additional eye witness testimony that becomes history even as it is being spun the the military culture of Rome.
The most profitable way forward for you, Dr. Tabor, is to follow your intuition regarding the fusion of the narrative of Mark and John. All four gospel writers had access to Quelle and Luke''s contract with Theophilus was to expand the basic research in Judea in the composition of the Letter to the Hebrews for distribution to the Italian Cohort of the covert Roman Christian Fellowship in the Mithra covens

the silent patient | alex michaelides | 2019
one night, alicia berenson kills her husband dead. afterward, she refuses to speak. her only statement being a painting entitled “alcestis.” she is remanded to a secure psychiatric unit called the grove in north london. theo faber is a psychotherapist who is captivated by alicia and seizes the opportunity to work at the grove to try and get through to her - to get her to talk about why she killed her husband.
---------------------------*spoilers ahead*------------------------------
i really liked this book! i had read his book “the maidens” earlier this year and was intrigued when i saw that one of the characters in that book, theo, was the main character in this one. and just like with “the maidens,” i read this book in one sitting, in one day. his writing style is so easy to breeze through and keeps you thoroughly engaged with the pacing.
i do think this is a book (and really an author) that you don’t want to know too much going in because it is a thriller and the twists and turns are what keep you turning the page and what make the read fun. once i found the twist in this one, it made me want to go back and read the whole book again with my new knowledge and perception of theo. it also made me want to go back and read the parts of the maidens that theo is in.
so the twist: it hinges on you not recognizing that you are reading two different timelines (the past and the present) at the same time within theo’s chapters. some chapters are passages from alicia’s diary which detail the months leading up to the murder and the others are prose from theo’s pov. you’re lead to believe that theo’s pov is all happening in the present as he becomes alicia’s therapist only later to find out that all the chapters about his wife kathryn (aka kathy) and her infidelity are happening 6 years in the past, concurrent with alicia’s diary. these are interwoven exquisitely.
michaelides is really good at keeping a tight cast of characters where everyone serves some kind of purpose - whether that be red herrings, scapegoats, or just schmoes. with this in mind, there were two mysterious characters in this book that really you’re trying to find out who they are the entire time: 1) the man that alicia keeps seeing out her window watching her house, and 2) the man that kathy is having an affair with. he gives possibilities of who these might be that tap into different tropes i feel you would commonly see in thrillers and crime dramas. for alicia’s mystery man there’s: paul - the cousin with gambling debt; or jean-felix - the college friend who’s def jealous and using alicia for her talent. for kathy you think maybe the director of her play, or just some rando, or you could be like me and think it’s max berenson or jean-felix after theo remarks that the guy’s build looks familiar. but looking back, gabriel had too little to do in the plot. he can’t be just alicia’s husband. no, he also needs to be kathy’s lover. just like christian can’t just be theo’s work nemesis, but also gabriel’s friend and alicia’s under-the-counter psychiatrist. christian becomes the perfect scapegoat for theo at the end.
the fact that theo basically does a 180 was the shocker of the book and really well crafted. it’s what makes the book. well…. maybe not a 180. him and alicia are two birds of a feather and you see how the events and people in their life play on their childhood traumas to provoke them into lashing out in their adulthoods; how they struggle to deal with their thoughts and emotions. [and maybe i have rom-com brain rot and had the recurrent thought of like …. are theo and alicia gonna … get together…… but that’s a whole other book and not michaelides’ style tbh]
also another fun part of this book, and in reading michaelides in general, are the inclusions of greek characters and greek mannerisms. professor diomedes basically a pappou and i love when he said “po, po, po” because my greek teacher says that in class sometimes. michaelides was born in cyprus and his father is greek-cypriot, so it all feels really natural. the use of ancient greek tragedy is also really interesting. precisely because it’s not a well known tragedy is nice. “alcestis” is an ancient greek tragedy by euripides. it’s about a man who is fated to die unless he can get someone to die in his stead. he asks around, his parents, etc. and eventually his wife, alcestis, says she will sacrifice herself for him and he accepts. she dies, but is saved from a true death by heracles who brings her back to life. when she reanimates, she does not speak, and the man asks, “my wife, why does she not speak?” thus the reason for the painting being entitled alcestis. but it also foreshadows how theo poses the same dilemma to gabriel and gabriel makes the same choice as the man in the play. he chooses to live and sacrifice alicia for that life. theo makes gabriel believe he kills alicia by shooting his gun into the ceiling and leaving alicia alive. so alicia is essentially reanimated and does not speak after that.
tldr: a v v v interesting read to see how all the threads come together when you didn’t even know they are separate strands in the first place.

Becoming-Gorilla
Literatunistas, buckle up! Julia strikes again, and she’s here to prove she’s more than a list of characteristics for a chromosomal abnormality in a medical textbook: 
https://mariasavvaki97.wixsite.com/maripinion/single-post/2019/08/29/Becoming-Gorilla
While her mother assumes a lifetime of exclusion for her daughter and distances herself, the nameless narrator chooses to look beyond the clinical, bleak picture painted by people in white coats. She sees the potential and personality of the child. She believes that Julia's life road-map can be uniquely carved out by herself and those who support, guide and believe in her. If one sets the textbook aside, they will conjure up a different definition, one formed by real life experiences and the love for the child.
