Une de mes favorites personnelles. La petite fille posait pour son père qui se trouvait à mes côtés. Intimidée par ce double regard, elle cherchait à se cacher à côté de la lourde stèle du lieu !

"Il est interdit d'interdire !"
En revisionnant la série, je note de nouveaux petits détails qui m'avaient échappés.
Comme cette phrase prononcée par Chat Noir dans l'épisode Sangsure (saison 4) :
"IL EST INTERDIT D'INTERDIRE".
Cette boutade prononcée à l'origine par l'humoriste Jean Yanne est devenue l'un des slogans les plus marquants des évènements de Mai 68.
Mais qu'est-ce que c'est, Mai 68 ?
Tumblr media
Ce mouvement de révolte sans précédent aux allures de révolution a éclaté en France en mai-juin 1968 dans les universités.
Le contexte : la France sort tout juste des Trente Glorieuses, une période de forte croissance économique et d'amélioration du niveau de vie qu’a connue la grande majorité des pays développés entre 1945 et 1975. Malgré tout, tout le monde ne profite pas de cette croissance économique : 2 millions de travailleurs en France sont payés au SMIG ("Salaire minimum interprofessionnel garanti", remplacé par le "salaire minimum interprofessionnel de croissance" (SMIC) en 1970), et le pays compte 500 000 chômeurs. Les travailleurs s'inquiètent pour leurs conditions de travail, et côté étudiant, la massification de l'enseignement supérieur cause d'innombrables problèmes (locaux peu adaptés à cette croissance rapide, manque de matériel, problèmes de transports...).
Au centre de Paris, la révolution gronde. Les étudiants s'inquiètent pour leur avenir. Des débats, des prises de paroles et des assemblées générales ont lieu dans les rues, les entreprises, les administrations et les universités.
Lorsque la police lance une intervention brutale le 3 mai 1968 pour disperser un meeting de protestation tenu par les étudiants dans la cour de la Sorbonne, la riposte est instantanée : de violents affrontements ont lieu dans les rues du Quartier latin, le point culminant étant atteint lors de la nuit désormais symbolique du 10-11 mai 1968 où les combats de rues ont donné lieu à bon nombres d'interpellations et a même fait plusieurs de victimes.
Tumblr media
S'en suit la plus importante grève générale sauvage de l'histoire le 13 mai 1968 : la révolution étudiante s'est muée en crise sociale, et une vague de grèves s'enclenche. Le mouvement s'étend, et la France se retrouve totalement paralysée pendant des semaines.
Il y a encore énormément de choses à dire sur cette période qui a révolutionné l'histoire, je ne suis pas forcément la meilleure personne pour aborder le sujet.
Toujours est-il que Mai 68 reste à ce jour le plus important mouvement social de l'histoire de France du XXe siècle : en quelques semaines à peine, la France a fait bouger ses limites au delà de tout ce qui semblait possible. Et malgré l'échec apparent du mouvement de Mai 68, ses retombées sont énormes : cette crise a largement contribué à la modernisation de la société française. Ne serait-ce que pour les jeunes, les femmes, et les ouvriers qui ont réclamé et ont eu plus de pouvoir, plus de parole, plus de liberté. Bon nombre de leurs rêves sont devenus notre quotidien.

Pokémon AU: Gym Leader Type
(take the quiz・make your team)
Tumblr media
Ghost Type.
There’s so much to love about ghost-types: they’ve got a cool spooky aesthetic with a lovely color scheme, they can be super strong in battle, and they often have plenty of fun tricks up their sleeve. You’re usually relaxed and enjoyable to be around, but you know how to get serious when you need to. Other trainers respect you, even if they’re easily spooked.
Tumblr media
It’s been a long time since I last watched the Pokémon anime series. I stopped around the first few episodes of Sun & Moon because I was thrown off by the sudden change in animation style. I did a speed-binge fairly recently on the older seasons (specifically AG, DP, and XY), and with the nostalgia still fresh in my mind, I’ve decided to rewrite my thoughts on the result.
I initially expected Yiuno to get one of the following three:
Psychic. Often portrayed as mysterious and intimidating due to their abilities related to mind control, telekinesis and even premonition, Psychic types are also highly intelligent, which further elevates their power to change the course of a battle in their favor. Yiuno is an enigmatic individual with a rich life experience under his belt—with his deep insight in ancient mysteries, it’s within reason that he can bring out the potential of Psychic types.
Dark. Just like the name suggests, they often come across as brooding and reclusive. They are very independent and strong-willed, making Dark types formidable opponents not to be trifled with carelessly. Yiuno is a solitary wanderer who has survived the bloodiest war, braved the harshest frontier—and still stood tall after all these years (and many more). The quiet strength that he possesses can give a huge confidence boost and build a strong bond with Dark types, making them a force to be reckoned with when they fight as one.
Steel. Indomitable and logical are a few traits commonly used to describe them. They can hit really hard while others can barely put a scratch on them, making Steel types a tough powerhouse on most battlefields. Yiuno is a hardened survivor who reflects the qualities of Steel types with his astute and grounded personality. Even when they are both in a pinch, they can entrust their backs to each other and work together to overcome the obstacles in their way.
The result was an amusing deviation from the predictions I’ve listed above. Ghost types are almost synonymous with troublemakers with a penchant for practical jokes and jump scares. They are unpredictable and whimsical, with no qualms to cause misfortunes and create havoc just because it’s their idea of “fun.” These traits seem like a far cry from Yiuno’s pragmatic character—he’d rather strike his foe from the shadows with lightning precision than to needlessly taunt them, the latter which might give his prey a chance to formulate a counter strategy.
That being said, Yiuno isn’t about all angst and no fun. He has a fairly dark sense of humor, and he is a dangerous glass cannon on the battlefield—making up for the lack of power with unorthodox tactics that can be fatal to those who underestimate him. The come-and-go nature of Ghost types also compliments Yiuno’s wandering lifestyle, and perhaps their fun-loving personality is what Yiuno needs to take some breaks from life responsibilities.
Tumblr media
Team Lineup.
Tumblr media
Disclaimer. Before I go into details about the thought process to form Yiuno’s dream team, note that the choice is purely based on aesthetics. I ain’t got the brain power for mathematical shenanigans, lol.
With that out of the way, let’s dive into the curious lineup I have picked for Yiuno:
Gengar / Mega Gengar (♂)
In the anime series, this beloved Gen I Ghost-type evolution chain is often depicted as a spooky trio with fondness for haunting abandoned places and scaring any trainers who are passing through their territory. While they have no ill will towards humans, their ghostly pranks aren’t appreciated by people—more often than not, this has resulted in their ominous reputation as harbingers of bad luck. Gengar, in particular, is a Shadow Pokémon that enjoys scaring people from the dark; its ability to absorb heat from its surroundings would explain the chilly atmosphere whenever it appears (or wherever it lurks, even).
I’d imagine that Yiuno and Gengar had a rocky start at first. Gengar would have thought that Yiuno was like any other unsuspecting trainer and tried to prank him for laughs, but Yiuno gave him an eye for an eye—enough to force Gengar revealing himself to battle the shrewd Viera head-on. When Yiuno did win the fight, Gengar did not take his loss well; he continued to make his new master’s life miserable for quite a while. After many ups and downs, Gengar eventually came to respect Yiuno’s strength and intellect. When he decided to entrust his back to this mysterious, astute master, Gengar’s hidden potential was finally able to shine, and they became a fearsome duo on the battlefield. Their strong bond for each other would eventually allow Yiuno to Mega Evolve his signature Pokémon and attain greater heights.
Marshadow (♀)
This little fellow is a curious addition to Yiuno’s team. Categorized as a Mythical Pokémon, this Fighting/Ghost type would’ve been quite difficult to obtain in the actual game series due to their rarity and limited appearances.
I’d think that Yiuno befriended Marshadow rather than capturing her; she then chose to join Yiuno and became a formidable fighter in his lineup. Marshadow is probably attracted to Yiuno quiet resilience, and Yiuno enjoys having her as a companion (when he needs a timeout from Gengar’s usual prank calls). She’s also a fairly shy Pokémon—she would often hide in Yiuno’s shadow when provoked or frightened outside of official battles.
Misdreavus ⋗ Mismagius (♀)
Just when Yiuno thought that Gengar was more than enough for the pranks around him, cue in the latter’s partner-in-crime: Misdreavus. While Gengar’s tricks were more practical and tangible, Misdreavus fed on the fears and despairs of her target, and then she would twist their dreams into horrifying nightmares.
If there is any shared traits between Misdreavus and her master, it’d be their craftiness. Though she can make up for her lack in power with her tricks and traps, she eventually chose to evolve into Mismagius due to her competitive streak against Gengar to rake up more personal wins in gym battles.
Mimikyu—Shiny (NB)
Another curious addition to Yiuno’s team—in particular, their shared mastery in the art of disguise. Unlike Jessie’s Mimikyu (which had an obsessive hatred towards Pikachu), Yiuno’s companion wore their disguise with pride, and they chose to serve Yiuno after acknowledging the latter’s skills.
This Shiny Mimikyu isn’t all about glam, either—they are the second-fastest Pokémon in Yiuno’s lineup, the first being another member further down this list.
Ceruledge (♀)
Oh, man. This Pokémon is a tough one to tame. Ceruledge is quite the bloodthirsty battler, and she’s willing to play dirty to get the wins. She takes the crown for being the sorest loser in the team (worse than Gengar), but she begins to change for the better under Yiuno, and finally takes real pride in her fighting capabilities.
Though her speed is second to no-one, Ceruledge’s secret wish is to learn sword-dancing to please her master—her way to thank him for his patience with her. Under all that bloodlust, this one is actually a pure maiden at heart.
Spectrier ⋗ Shadow Rider Calyrex (♂)
A Legendary Pokémon introduced in Gen VIII, Spectrier is said to be an arrogant stallion that once ruled (or rather, terrorize) a certain region as its strongest lord. In this verse, I’d imagine that he’s still a horse with an inflated ego, and his tyranny had caused grief to the Pokémons living in his realm.
Perhaps Calyrex sought Yiuno to free the land from Spectrier’s cruelty; through battling, Yiuno might have discovered that the only way to put Spectrier in his own place was to combine Calyrex with the former, becoming a Shadow Rider. Facing defeat against Yiuno and Calyrex, Spectrier would probably acknowledge Yiuno as a worthy master to serve.
Tumblr media
Afterword.
Phew, that was way longer and more detailed than I had originally planned, but it was fun going in-depth and beyond the short blurb of the quiz result. I’m really tempted to add Pokémon into my multiverse (where Yiuno is a Ghost-type Gym Leader, obviously), but I don’t have the time to work on my growing list of pending fic ideas while I’m still bogged down by real-life work.
I happened to chance upon this quiz meme posted by @starrysnowdrop and decided to give this a shot. Also a big thank you to @gatheredfates for tagging me!
I’ve lost track of those in the community who had already attempted this quiz. To anyone who wants to have fun with this, consider yourself tagged by me, so that I can check out yours.

La Mort 👽
Tumblr media
Tu m’as broyé le cœur,
Infâme oiseau de malheur,
Immonde cruauté,
Sans âme ni clarté…
Tu es là à nous épier,
Pour ôter nos vies tant convoitées…
Tu aimes les larmes versées,
Mais qui es-tu donc toi pour oser nous briser ?
La Mort ! à n’en pas douter…
Hors de ma vue !
Sombre inconnue !
Sorcière de l’enfer !
Horrible vipère !
Je te hais !
Et je voudrais,
Que tu disparaisses à tout jamais de notre bel univers,
Notre terre bien aimée dont tu aimerais t’en emparer pour mieux nous manipuler, nous diviser…
Mais saches que tu n’y arriveras jamais,
Car nous ferons tout pour la protéger de tes vilaines griffes acérées…
Mais que vois-je à présent ?
Sombre damnation…
Ton teint devient livide, tes yeux vides, larmoyants…
Serais-tu en train de vouloir implorer mon pardon ?
Dans l'unique espoir de gagner ta rédemption ?
Mais c’est trop tard voyons !
Alors n’essayes plus jamais de me duper méprisante insolente,
En voulant te métamorphoser en bonne fée...
Car oui, ta comédie a assez duré...
Non mais ! Quel toupet de vouloir à tout prix te racheter,
Alors que tu m'as dépouillée des êtres que j'aimais...
Maudite inconnue mise à nue,
Retirée de ton masque de diablesse, traîtresse !
Retournes là d'où tu viens Vaurien !
Là où tu as vu le jour Vautour !
Dans les bas-fonds de ta prison,
Froide comme un glaçon,
Sans âme ni émotion…
Retournes y à l’infini Faucheuse haineuse,
Condamnée à perpétuité,
Pour tous ces crimes que tu as commis...
Laideur sans coeur,
Que je maudis avec ardeur...
Retournes y silhouette squelette,
Noirceur fantomatique,
Déguisement effrayant,
Arborant éternellement ce sourire sardonique,
Ta signature machiavélique...
Retournes donc dans ton manoir hanté,
Ce mouroir de l'ignominie, Saleté...
Retournes y Harpie,
T'y enterrer à vie,
Afin que je t'oublie...

Le Sage de Chief Mountain
Le Sage de Chief Mountain est un récit des origines de la nation Blackfeet qui explique comment elle en est venue à porter des vêtements aux couleurs vives. Bien que les nations amérindiennes portent généralement des vêtements teints de différentes couleurs, les Blackfeet étaient célèbres pour leurs vêtements élaborés et leurs tipis colorés. Selon cette histoire, tout a commencé avec le chef Wise Man.
