"Well, I was hanging out with my dad. He's such a dork. He was telling me about all the famous homosexuals in history."

My favourite Ari & Dante quotes:

The problem with my life was that it was someone else's idea.

As far as I was concerned, the sun could have melted the blue right off the sky. Then the sky would be as miserable as I was.

I decided to go swimming at the Memorial Park pool. It was a small idea. But at least the idea was mine.

It was better to be alone and miserable. It was better to drown.

We laughed. We always laughed.

I got to thinking that poems were like people. Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just didn't get--and never would get.

I didn't care about what they meant. I didn't care because what mattered is that Dante's voice felt real. And I felt real.

Words were different when they lived inside of you.

"You said don't drown--so I found someone to help me keep my promise."

Dante. I really liked him. I really, really liked him.

And I wondered what my dad looked like when he was my age. My mother had told me he was beautiful. I wonder if he'd been as beautiful as Dante. And I wondered why I thought that.

I wanted to tell her that happy was hard for me. But I think she already knew that. "Well," I said, "I'm at that phase where I'm supposed to be miserable."

I didn't care for Aristotle either. And even though I knew I was named after my grandfather, I also knew I had inherited the name of the world's most famous philosopher. I hated that. Everyone expected something from me. Something I just couldn't give. So I renamed myself Ari. If I switched the letter, my name was Air. I thought it might be a great thing to be air. I could be something and nothing at the same time. I could be necessary and also invisible. Everyone would need me and no one would be able to see me.

But Mr. Quintana was brave. He didn't care if the whole world knew he was kind.

Before she left, Mrs. Quintana took my face between her two hands, looked right into my eyes, and whispered, "Aristotle Mendoza, I will love you forever."

My mother and father held hands. I wondered what that was like, to hold someone's hand. I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone's hand.

"I went swimming today," he said. "How was it?" "I love swimming." "I know," I said. "I love swimming," he said again. He was quiet for a little while. And then he said, "I love swimming--and you." I didn't say anything. "Swimming and you, Ari. Those are the things I love the most."

"I love the rain," my mother whispered. I love it too. I love it too. I felt like I was the saddest boy in the universe. Summer had come and gone. Summer had come and gone. And the world was ending.

I learned how to swim this summer. No, that's not true. Someone taught me. Dante. I tore out the page.

I'd figured something out about myself: on the inside, I wasn't like my dad at all. On the inside I was more like Dante. That really scared me.

"That's a very Dante question," I said. "That's a very Ari answer," he said. And then we started laughing and couldn't stop. And I missed him so much.

"What about your party?" "Watching you loosen up, Ari. That's a party. We'll even score the beer for you," she said. "To celebrate the end of school."

When I stopped the truck, I got out, slamming the door . "Shit! I forgot about the beer." "We don't need the beer," Dante whispered. "We need the beer! We need the fucking beer, Dante!" I don't know why I was yelling. The yelling turned into sobs. I fell into Dante's arms and cried. He held me and didn't say a word. Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer morning could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.

The summer sun was not meant for boys like me. Boys like me belonged to the rain.

Dante laughed. "I wasn't really kissing Daniel. In my head, I was kissing you." I shrugged. "You got to get yourself a new head, Dante."

what do you love, Ari? What do you really love?" "I love the desert. God, I love the desert." "It's so lonely." "Is it?" Dante didn't understand. I was unknowable.

my father nodded. "Ari, the problem isn't just that Dante's in love with you. The real problem--for you, anyway--is that you're in love with him."

"Try it again," I said. "Kiss me." "No," he said. "Kiss me." "No." And then he smiled. "You kiss me."

How could I have ever been ashamed of loving Dante Quintana?

Sisiutl Transforms into Killer Whale: Back Mask 

Sam Johnson

from the website: Kwakwaka'wakw "back mask" depicts a Killer Whale, the traveller and guardian of the seas, and considered the "Lord of the Ocean." To the Kwakwaka'wakw, all great chiefs who die are transformed into Killer Whales. Symbolizing long life, they are believed to be closely related to humans, thus allowing transformation from one to another. In this case, the viewer is tricked into believing this is Killer Whale when in fact it is the powerful Sisiutl, the supernatural being who has the ability to transform into anything. This rare and highly collectible mask has been danced by the carver.

just watched the ari and dante movie and i have Thoughts

(gonna keep it as spoiler free as possible)

*disclaimer it's been years since i last read the book*

dante honey, the closet is glass alskdjgls

i've never seen eugenio derbez so serious and oh my god i love it his performance was exquisite

sam quintana is so FINE omg

i need literally every single outfit dante and sam wore, specifically dante's glasses in the scene where he meets the Mendozas

i absolutely LOVED The Convo between ari and his parents it was so perfectly excecuted

kinda wish they had explored ari's relationship with gina, suzie, and elena a little bit but not mad they didn't really include it

really wish the bathtub scene was included cuz it was so RAW in the book it would've been perfect for the emotial context of the movie

i think this book would've also made a great tv show but the movie did it justice and i'm so glad that it was in the hands of an amazing writer like Aitch Alberto I love her and i wish her the world

obviously i know its hard to adapt books into movies and honestly i loved this movie a lot more than i liked the rwrb movie

#aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe #ari and dante movie #aristotle mendoza #dante quintana #im sorry i didnt like the rwrb movie at all #i wouldve liked it more if i had never read the book

The Quintanas

In the scene where Ari goes to the Quintana’s house to pick up legs, Sam looks disheveled, like he was crying all night and barely pulled himself out of bed. He spent the night at home, while Soledad spent the night with Dante. Soledad looks put together, has makeup on, her hair done, and optimistically agrees with Ari when he says he’ll be okay. She only falls apart in the hall when she has to once again come face to face with what happened as she explains it to Ari. Despite feeling the same grief, their responses characterize them to the audience in very little words: Sam (like Dante) allows himself to display his emotions, while Soledad tries to hold herself together until she can’t anymore.

PRISCILLA QUINTANA – Por Glinda e sua varinha mágica! Olha só se não é SAMIRA VICENCIO NORTH caminhando pelos corredores da torre DAS NUVENS. Por ser filha de NICHOLAS SAINT NORTH (PAPAI NOEL), é previsto que ela deseje seguir caminhos parecidos com o dos pais. Ao menos, é o que se espera de alguém com VINTE E OITO ANOS, mas primeiro ela precisará concluir o módulo ESQUADRÃO VIL I, para depois se assemelhar como um conto de fadas.

Novo conto: BRYCE, A CAÇADORA.

Stats:

apelidos: Mira, Sam, Poly; aniversário: 25 de setembro (Libra); alinhamento: chaotic good. terra natal: nascida na Cidade do México (Shadowland), mas residente do Polo Norte (localizado na Winter Forest, em Neverland) desde os oito anos.

Headcannon:

Todos na residência dos Vicencio sabiam a história de cor. Após anos tentando e perdendo gestações, Lucretia ajoelhou aos pés da árvore na noite de natal e pediu por um milagre; nove meses depois, gritava na sala de parto e dava a luz a Samira. A criança era seu maior presente, e foi tratada como tal mesmo com todas as complicações que sucederam ao parto. Nem a asma, nem a tosse constante eram empecilhos para a hiperatividade da menina, que parecia ter uma imaginação acima da média. Podia afirmar com certeza que era visitada por passarinhos furta-cor quase todas as noites. Que tinha uma amiga fada. Que, nas tardes de neve, o vidro de seu quarto embaçava no formato de uma carinha sorridente. E tudo isso seria perfeitamente natural… Se ela não vivesse na tenebrosa, sombria, amarga Shadowland, onde a magia tinha data de validade e expirava azeda feito leite.

Mas, fazendo jus ao nome que recebiam, os guardiões olhavam por ela; lhe ajudavam a acreditar, porque isso também a dava mais vitalidade. Samira era um deles, afinal, fruto da mágica, e precisava da fé natalina para sobreviver naquele ambiente hostil. Entretanto, a crise no mundo encantado recaiu em seus ombros sem piedade. A maldição da vilania superava até mesmo o anterior ataque de Breu, e com tantas crianças desamparadas naquele primeiro natal infeliz, Samira adoeceu gravemente. Não havia mais esperança para sua existência em meio aos humanos. Se não atravessasse o portal antes do fim da noite, desapareceria como Scar! Carregada nos braços do Coelhão, sequer teve tempo para se despedir da família.

Era só uma criança quando conheceu St. Nicholas, uma garotinha franzina em frente a um homem grisalho do tamanho de um armário ─ ainda que bem mais magro do que esperava. Houve uma troca de olhares, um reconhecimento mútuo, e em pouco tempo ela já era membro dA Resistência! (mesmo que seu papel se restringisse a contar as luzinhas no globo terrestre; se perdendo e recomeçando de vez em quando). A Resistência perdeu membros importantíssimos ao longo dos anos, como a Fada do Dente, a quem Samira amava como uma tia, e uma série de renas e duendes. Mas quando viu que realmente não poderia derrotar os vilões, o polo norte se rendeu à tríplice.

Amargurado e enfraquecido, North não é nem a sombra do que um dia foi. Passa seus dias trancado na oficina como um eremita, tendo surtos de inventividade seguidos de períodos de auto piedade, a barba tão longa que cai como neve à altura da cintura e essa enfim da circunferência conhecida. Quanto a Samira, crescer no caos do boom tecnológico foi estranhamente conveniente, ainda mais quando seus poderes começaram a aflorar. A hiperatividade da infância custou a lhe abandonar e ela fez daquele mundo encantado seu parquinho, dançando conforme a música grave dos vilões até finalmente compreender tudo o que eles lhe tinham tirado ─ e tudo o que ainda tirariam.

A cada ano que passa, Samira nota os poderes enfraquecendo. Ciente de que o declínio do natal significa seu próprio declínio, não viu outra alternativa para seu futuro além de entrar em Tremerra e receber um novo conto. A perspectiva de se tornar um dragão é tanto encantadora quanto assustadora, mas não desistiu por completo do natal e sabe que North muito menos. Sua aliança com a vilania é tão tênue quanto um fio de seda, e se houvesse uma rebelião, certamente ambos se juntariam a ela. Enquanto isso, tentam fazer o que podem pela data nas duas horinhas diárias que lhes restam.

Poderes:

MAGNETOCINESE ── Há quem acredite ser culpa de Samira o fato de todas as bússolas apontarem para o norte, mas isso é apenas uma fantástica coincidência! Sua habilidade lhe confere a capacidade de mover, atrair, levitar e repelir livremente metais ou qualquer outro tipo de matéria que possa ser influenciada por campos magnéticos, coisa que, costumeiramente, ela usa para atirar adagas e projéteis balísticos numa precisão assustadora; desde que apenas um de cada vez. Suas mãos também são conhecidas por retorcer metal nas formas mais intrincadas, criando arte seja em peças de brinquedos, de esculturas ou de armas.

Daemons:

CHRISTOPHER, THE PINE ── Não fosse pelo calor e peso, facilmente teria confundido por uma semente de pinheiro o ovo que lhe fora entregue após assinar seu nome no livro. O daemon de Samira eclodiu na cor caramelo-cobre, mas com o passar do tempo suas escamas foram se tornando mais longas e esverdeadas na parte superior, em alusão a uma árvore que prospera em bom solo. Tem chifres que lembram bengalas doces pontudas e um olhar sereno e acalentador. É um daemon reservado e fica acuado na presença de estranhos, mas nem sempre foi assim. Acontece que Chris Pine ficou gravemente ferido após proteger Samira de um monstro, atitude que resultou na perda de boa parte de sua asa esquerda. Em gratidão, Mira passou tempo projetando uma prótese de liga metálica para o wyvern e, desde então, num trabalho em conjunto, ambos estão reaprendendo a voar.

referência visual somente para as cores do daemon, pois as asas são diferentes: (x)

#acabei de perceber que perdi a oportunidade de chamar ela de poly north 😭😭 #Oi galeraa #vamo plotaaar!

When Sam (Mr. Quintana) told Ari to call him by his first name and Ari was like I can’t i felt so represented

#Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe #that Mexican feel

[bookishthoughst]

Bookmark 📖 from Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe

“What am I supossed to do?” I knew my voice was cracking. But I refused to cry. What was there to cry about? “I don’t know what to do.” I looked at Mrs. Quintana and I looked at Sam. “Dante’s my friend.” I wanted to tell them that I’d never had a friend, not ever, not a real one. Until Dante. I wanted to tell them that I never knew that people like Dante existed in the world, people who looked at the stars, and knew the mysteries of water, and knew enough to know that birds belonged to the heavens and weren’t meant to be shot down from their graceful flights by mean and stupid boys. I wanted to tell them that he had changed my life and that I would never be the same, not ever. And that somehow it felt like it was Dante who had saved my life and not the other way around. I wanted to tell them that he was the first human being aside from my mother who had ever made me want to talk about the things that scared me. I wanted to tell them so many things and yet I didn’t have the words. So I just stupidly repeated myself. “Dante’s my friend.”

Speaker Transformation Mask with Wolf 

Sam Johnson

from the website: Each 'namima or family group of the Kwakwaka'wakw has a designated speaker who is knowledgeable about his family's privileges and history. This speaker mask represents the carvers family, and is letting the audience know that their family crest is the Wolf. As well, the inner face of the mask is a Sisiutl, the Double Headed Serpent, letting the audience know that this is a chief lineage family who has the rights to this powerful symbol. This is a rare depiction of a speaker mask.

* MY BEST FRIEND IS A ROCKSTAR: (tw: death) muse a & muse b have been best friends since they were kids and grew up together. throughout their childhood, muse b had always told muse a about his plans to become a famous musician and as he grew older, became more and more determined to make those dreams come true. when they both hit their teen years, feelings eventually grew and the two were head over heels for each other but neither of them was ever able to admit it. they were both terrified that the feelings would be unrequited or that it would ruin their friendships so just imagine the angst of them seeing each other with other people and FGHDFG. anyway, when muse b finally turns twenty-one, he decides to move to hollywood to make his dreams come true, and muse a stays in their small hometown. they keep in contact with one another but as time went on, muse b becomes a huge rockstar with his band and their contact start to drift but they always had each other in their thoughts, wishing they were closer to one another. a few years pass and they still speak but it’s not like before. muse b was hugely successful and enjoyed the life he was now living but always felt like something was missing. that someone was missing… it’s not until he gets a distraught call from muse a telling him that her mother died does he rush on a private jet and comes home to her. after helping her arrange the funeral and being there for her through her grief, he suggests that she comes on tour with him and the band. wanting to run away from everything and everyone in her small town, she agrees. queue cute ass moments on the tour bus, traveling the world and falling in love like they did when they were young. add drama, angst ( because they’re both still dumb and won’t admit to their feels) stadium tours, TENSION!!!, groupies, etc, etc.
