#por una cabeza

[katriniac]

So I find myself simping hard for Artem Wing this morning, and decide to nurse that ache by re-reading my favorite Tears of Themis card stories.

First up is Por Una Cabeza

When I first pulled this card, all I knew was that I was getting ARTEM WEARING A FANCY MASK.

But then I read the story and was confused.

Like, really confused.

Spoilers below the cut if you haven't read this card yet.

This post has two parts. Maybe three if I decide to include the video call? So look in my reblogs for the rest of this recap!

This card's story is set BEFORE they are in an established relationship, before any love confession takes place.

So ... both Rosa and Artem are having similar nightmares at the beginning, but the reader isn't aware they are reading a dream.

Now that I am reading it through again, I can more fully appreciate the other-worldliness of the "nightmare" and understand why everyone is acting strangely with bad memories, lol.

The bright red digital clock face glaring at Tosa in the fancy hotel lobby makes MUCH more sense more that I know it's her own bedside alarm clock she's incorporating into her dreamscape.

Also? ALSO?!? TODAY, the day I'm reading this right now is December 24th! What are the odds! I totally forgot this story takes place on Christmas Eve, because they call the event the New Year's Ball. Idk why... 🤷‍♀️

Anyways, back to recapping my favorite moments:

🥹 @ Artem second-guessing himself, worrying about you, wondering if you're okay, and if it's his fault

Awwwww, Artem!

His pouting face!

That's just like him to be concerned, and to jump to the conclusion that it might be his fault. He also wants to get to the bottom of any problem you have, so he can:

Discover the root cause of "Problem X"

Understand the reason for your distress

And plan for ways to fix/avoid it in the future so you never have to encounter/worry about "Problem X" ever again

Yes, this man is a 'fixer' but he does more than put a cosmetic bandage on things. He wants to make sure you never have to experience that same hurt a second time. He wants to learn from his own mistakes and others to prevent problems in the future. He wants to control the outcome by preparing for any eventuality.

The amount of energy and effort he puts into his "Rosa Long-Game" is mind-boggling.

Okay, I could go on forever about Artem's control issues, how amazing he is, and what makes him perfect husband-material.

So let's not get lost in the weeds out here. Back to the story!

There is this sublime moment where the two nightmares meld, as if the two of them are sharing the same dream!

And they meet FINALLY, after hours of panicked searching and confusion:

So they eventually wake up, and they decide to text the other to see if they're awake, and it turns into a phone call. No biggie. Just a phone call. At 2am. Between coworkers. Talking about their dreams. 😘 Nothing peculiar about that, right?

Everyone does that with their colleagues, don't they??

😏 Sure .... sure.

Next:

We find out Artem only knows one dance.

Which isn't exactly weird... many dudes don't know any dances.

What is odd is the one dance this shy boy knows:

The tango?

One of the most sensual and passionate dances ever?

Really?

Really.

The tango.

That's your go-to dance, Artem?

Okay.

Let's keep reading:

Ohhhhhh.

*BREATHES*

We get a glimpse into their month-long practices.

30 days of being caged in Artem's arms, spending every day after work in close proximity, working up a sweat.

Oof.

And then once you're confident in the steps, the fun part of the "act" both partners must put on to sell the push and pull of emotions.

The haughtiness, the indignation, the desire, the attraction, the softening and relenting at last, all of that passion needed to put on a good show!

Yup...

...Just what two normal work co-workers do on a daily basis.

TOTALLY NORMAL. 😏

*nods*

Yup.

"Suitable tango partner"

Uh-huh.

Artem. Artem! Stop lying to yourself!!

And then there's THIS:

LMAO @ Artem wishing for a weapon to fight off anyone else who might try to take her away from him.

"Everyone will know"

*sucks in breath*

Possessive!Artem is a really really hawt Artem.

Just sayin'

🥵🤤🥴❤️‍🔥🫠😍

AND they mention his adam's apple! Okay, this might not be a turn-on for other people. But it is to me.

I can point at obvious times in my life where I've decided that a certain action/attribute is attraction or sexy. But not the adam's apple. I have no explanation for why I find it mesmerizing!

But bless the writer who decided to mention that specific anatomy in this story! Shout out to you for adding to my swoon! 🫡

“Por Una Cabeza”

I’ve joined a Grindeldore fans activity called “The Dance of Love” not long ago, and the organizer asked everyone there to pick a title to write or draw.

I picked “Por Una Cabeza”— coz it’s my favorite tango song.

All the captions in the drawings are directly quoted from the lyrics of “Por Una Cabeza”. I’ve mixed 2 versions of English translation there and edited them a bit to fit my design.

It’s a lovely experience to draw for both my favorite tango song and my favorite ship.

Hope you all enjoy this piece too!:)

LA AVENTURA DEL TANGO: LA ANTINGUA AMISTAD

LA AVENTURA DEL TANGO: LA ANTINGUA AMISTAD

Antonio Pippo Pedragosa Columnista En un pasaje bíblico, Jehová rezonga a Job que se queja de padecimientos y vacilaciones: -¿Diste tú la bravura al caballo? ¿Engalanaste de crines su cuello? ¿Lo harás brincar como a una langosta? El resoplido de su nariz es temible. Escarba en el valle y se regocija con fuerza; sale al encuentro de las armas. Se ríe del miedo y no se espanta; no vuelve atrás…

O sea, realmente hay gente que piensa que EEUU y Europa están como están porque tienen mejores leyes o hasta "mejor cultura" (que ya roza el racismo), y no porque ellos, históricamente, dominaron los procesos coloniales y neocoloniales de los cuales somos víctimas. Por supuesto que el libre mercado les funciona a ellos; ellos son los que hicieron las reglas, ellos son los que se quedaron con todas las ganancias.

#por eso una de las primeros mitos que tenés que sacarte de la cabeza es el hecho de que hay luchas entre naciones mejores o peores #cuando es siempre desde lo individual hasta lo geopolítico una lucha de clases (atravesada por supuesto por identidades) #tenés que saber donde y con quien estás parado; en Latinoamérica y en el Tercer Mundo #ningún intento de copiarles a ellos va a servir solamente la liberación política económica y social #cosas mias

I was ready to disagree, but honestly, no, I get it. The Piebald Dreamer is my best friend.

#only one I haven't read yet is My Kingdom for a Pig. reddit is obsessed with Groover as always. #i do appreciate Chandler Groover's works but i was actually let down comparatively by the Newt and Salon Scandal and Por Una Cabeza! #and while I can see why people like Paisley it certainly wasn't my favourite #fallen london
