Sanremo 2024 - the post!

Hello everyone! Here you’ll find this year’s Sanremo’s stuff and news (I’ll be uploading this post through all the week). The Festival will start on Tuesday February 6th at 8:30 pm (it’ll probably have a 5 minutes “anteprima = preview” every night), and end on Saturday February 10th, when the final will be broadcasted.

/ Official website / you can find loads of videos and interviews here + the latest news. You can already find the presentation videos of the songs made by the artists.

Rai’s website dedicated section (here) | youtube playlist | spotify playlist

TikTok official channel: @/sanremorai; @/sanremoesc Instagram official: @/sanremorai Twitter official: @/SanremoRAI; @/SanremoESC Facebook: festivaldisanremo

Also this year we’ll have the PrimaFestival, the small show broadcasted on Rai1 at around 8:30 p.m. (February 4th - February 10th). The hosts are Paola & Chiara (singers), Mattia Stanga and Daniele Cabras (tiktokers).

There's gonna be some kind of Dopofestival, with Fiorello and Alessia Marcuzzi (tv/radio host) called “Viva Rai2!… Viva Sanremo” (jingle/sigla) right after the end of each Sanremo's night (6th-9th Feb.). Gli Autogol (comedians soccer-related) will complete some missions for Amadeus on Raiplay.

CasaSanremo- A website about Sanremo and all the artists who will take part, with more infos and interviews (also Italian places and food specialties will be shown). Follow them also on their Social Media Channels, usually they make live video/interviews/shows on FB for example.

On Sorrisi&Canzoni you will find also other infos about Sanremo and every lyrics’s explanation (ofc ask me if you need a translation)

The # on this blog is #sanremo 2024, #sanremo, #sanremo2024 you can black any of these (the first one in particular) if you want.

To watch it live:

Raiuno -> just click on the first video on the left, or here, to open the Raiuno streaming immediately (I added the whole Rai channels things in case you had troubles connecting directly and wanted to try from there). The RAI’s geoblock is usually removed for Sanremo’s week, no need to create accounts or whatsoever to enjoy Sanremo online!! Remember you can rewatch the whole event and each performance on Raiplay few minutes after it has happened (and the whole week will be avaiable as well for basically the whole following year).

FESTIVAL LIS - songs and whole exhibition explained in signs language

FANTASANREMO - this year as well you can play while enjoying your Sanremo! How does it work? Every person “buys” 5 artisti and marks one of them as a captain. As in the last years, artists will have to do or say something while on stage to help you gain points (and also classification will have a say).

I’ll try to write down some more infos/links through the week.

——-

Hosts & Guests + Other Stuff

This years’ host will still be Amadeus (who choose the songs taking part into this Sanremo), a TV and radio host. He will be accompanied by a different co-host each night: Marco Mengoni (singer; first night); Giorgia (singer; second night); Teresa Mannino (actress, comedian; third night); Lorella Cuccarini (actress, tv host, dancer, dance teacher in AMICI tv show; fourth night); Fiorello (tv and radio host, comedian, singer; last night).

Some of the one-night guests during the week will be: John Travolta (actor, dancer); Giovanni Allevi (musician); Marco Mengoni (singer); Sabrina Ferilli (actress); Giorgia (singer) will celebrate her song "E poi"'s 30th anniversary; Russel Crowe (actor, singer); Eros Ramazzotti (singer) will celebrate his song "Una terra promessa"'s 40th anniversary; Roberto Bolle (dancer); the cast of "Mameli" (new serie about the guy who wrote our National anthem); Leo Gassman (actor, singer); the cast of "Il Mare fuori" (Raiplay serie); The Nuova Orchestra Santa Balera to celebrate "Romagna Mia"'s 70th anniversary; Gigliola Cinquetti (singer) will celebrate her song "Non ho l'età"'s 60th anniversary.

How it works

There will be 30 singers in the ARTISTI (artists) section. It will be the only section, as last year. 27 artists were chosen by Amadeus, while the other 3 are the winners of Sanremo Giovani (held in December 2023). The winner of the competition will represent Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest: if he/she/they won’t accept, the choice will be another artist, usually the 2nd classified or the next (the first one accepting). This year we're gonna listen to all the 30 songs on the first night. The 2nd and 3rd night, we'll get to listen to 15 songs each night. The artisti that are not performing during the 2nd night will introduce the performing ones and vice versa on the 3rd night. The artisti introducing the performing artisti will be decided by a public draw during the Sanremo's press conferences on the 2nd and 3rd day. On the 4th night, there will be the usual “covers” night: the artisti this year can choose any song, national or international, from any year (until December 2023) and by anyone (even themselves).

Hello! I came to ask you to please write that essay you mentioned about how Charles is feminized in the fics, but you already beat me to it hahahah. Pero he de decir que coincido contigo en que se asigna una estructura heteronormativa a la dinámica de pareja y Charles acaba asumiendo el rol femenino, lo que se percibe como algo negativo debido en gran medida a la misoginia internalizada.

Personalmente, como ávido consumidor de fanfics, estas son caracterizaciones con las que siempre me encuentro y, francamente, me molestan. En el caso de Charles, lo describen como sumiso, ingenuo y con baja autoestima, en resúmenes con un carácter “débil”. Sinceramente no le veo nada malo si es con fines narrativos, pero el hecho de que muchos fanfics solo lo describan así o asuman que esa es su personalidad da mucho que pensar, sobre todo porque ignoran otros aspectos de La personalidad de Charles (o bueno, lo poco que sabemos sobre la personalidad de Charles, ya que no debemos olvidar que no lo conocemos y Charles solo muestra lo que quiere mostrar).

En fin, sólo decirte que valoro mucho tus reflexiones. 💕💕💕

Hi anon! I'm glad you agreed, and I agree with your points too. My issue is, and continues to be, when people can't divorce the narrative from the real person and these characterisations carry over into spaces where they shouldn't be. I'm going to expand wider than just RPF here and say the narrative around Charles' generally is sometimes a little much. Take this whole "haunted by tragedy" thing that Sky Sports was having a little too much fun with this weekend, with Damon Hill saying that the reason why Charles wasn't driving well was because he was distracted by grief? Sure, it makes for a good narrative to sell on your sports channel, but doesn't fit with the image of Charles who won Baku in F2 the weekend after his father died, and won his maiden grand prix the day after a childhood friend of his died.

It's so easy for all of us, fans to news pundits to talk about Charles battling with the circumstances of his life, whether it be those he's lost, or Ferrari being like a toxic ex he can never quite seem to leave, that it strips him of recognition of his own agency in a lot of ways. Charles has shown incredible mental strength in his life, and lest we forget, literally girlbossed his way to a legendary Ferrari contract. I got a few anons calling Charles mentally weak for not disobeying team orders in Japan, and I couldn't disagree more. This is a racing driver approaching his prime, who knew he could not defend on 20 lap newer tyres but ran an incredible race nonetheless. Charles is not a damsel in distress, he's an agent completely in control of his own destiny.

Speaking of destiny, the il predestinato nickname slaps, but I think is incredibly misleading for some people sometimes. When Charles wins a world championship, it won't be because he is 'destined' or 'fulfilling some prophecy', it will be due to his own choices, his own skill, his own talent, his own hard work. I think that Charles as a WDC is going to get hit with a VERY different narrative than the one we see now, one that acknowledges his hard work and agency in making his dream come true.

chapter fourteen — epilogo

➝ when the nature of their relationship is revealed to the world, fernando and charlie end up having a serious conversation about the direction they want to take.

➝ word count: 2,2k

➝ warnings: spanish media, insecurity

➝ author's note: tagging @christianpulisic10, @alonsogirlie, @he-is-the-destined, @sunnytkm23 and @enaticosencantados as requested.

Sitting on the couch with the remote in her hand, Charlie frantically scanned the channels on the television. Probably none of them would be broadcasting Brighton's game in Spain, after all, if the team wasn't facing one of the big clubs in England, nobody really cared. But, it wouldn't hurt to take a look to confirm.

However, she stopped on one of the channels when she saw a familiar image on the screen that made up the program's scenario.

— Las redes están alborotadas con esta imagen que finalmente lo confirma — the presenter announced in a happy voice — Fernando Alonso está de vuelta en las pistas y muy enamorado. El piloto asturiano, que sufrió una fractura de tobillo en el último Gran Premio de Las Vegas, fue visto en el circuito que lleva su nombre intercambiando abrazos y caricias con una mujer. Hablemos con Marina Rubel, que está en Oviedo, con más información. Marina?

The screen split to a live entry of a dark-haired woman who appeared to be in a park. Dropping the controller on the couch, Charlie couldn't stop watching, even though she didn't understand anything that was being said. But in a way, she didn't even need to.

— Hola Anne, buenas tardes. Esta es la confirmación de que el dos veces campeón de Fórmula 1 está, de hecho, en una nueva relación casi un año después de su ruptura con la periodista austriaca Andrea Schlager — the reporter said — Además del video que circula en las redes sociales, el propio Fernando publicó en su cuenta de Instagram una imagen de su nueva novia luciendo un mono y un casco de su escuela de karting, con el pie de foto "de vuelta a la pista".

— Hasta el momento, no se sabe quién sería esta misteriosa mujer, ¿verdad?

— Bueno, no se sabía. Sin embargo, nuestro equipo hizo un gran trabajo de investigación y tenemos, en exclusiva, el nombre de la nueva novia de Fernando Alonso. Descúbrelo en el informe.

A familiar photo appeared over the screen. Charlie's stomach twisted.

— La nueva novia de Fernando Alonso es un soplo de aire fresco en su lista de conquistas amorosas. Tras su matrimonio con la cantante Raquel del Rosario y largas relaciones con la presentadora Lara Álvarez y la modelo Linda Morselli, la nueva chica del "Nano" es su ingeniera de carrera, la inglesa Charlotte Whitlam — the reporter's voice said, as videos and photos of the podium in Suzuka were played — Puede que no la reconozcas por su imagen, pero Charlie, como la llaman, es la voz que escuchamos en las interacciones por radio entre Fernando y su equipo…

Suddenly, the television turned off.

Charlie let out a gasp of protest, before turning around to see Fernando's serious gaze. She felt like a naughty child who had just been caught doing something she shouldn't.

— Why were you watching this? — he asked.

— I wasn't — Charlie stammered, feeling his face heat up — I was looking for the Brighton match…

— That didn't look like the Brighton match, Charlie — Fernando said.

— I know…

He walked around the couch, crutches clicking on the floor as he stopped beside her and sat down. Looking down at her hands, Charlie couldn't shake the discomfort she'd been feeling, not just at being caught watching a news report about what had happened over the past 24 hours, but at being exposed like that.

The day before, after visiting the museum, Fernando took her to the circuit, where the go-kart shed used by students from the school he had set up there was located. After meeting the crew that maintained the equipment, showing her how he tightened the wheels as a teenager, and hearing more about how they took care of the engines, Fernando asked her if she wanted to go for a ride on the track.

— Can I? — Charlie asked, almost as if she were a child delighted by the possibility of playing with a new toy.

— Of course.

Changing into a set of the school's blue overalls and a helmet, Charlie could see through the opening in the visor the smile that Fernando had on his face. Asking her to wait a bit before sitting in the kart, he took his phone out of his pocket and took some pictures of her, telling her that she looked like a real Formula 1 driver.

After the last instructions, Charlie put her foot down on the accelerator, leaving the garage in the direction of the track. Allowing herself to experiment on the asphalt, she couldn't help but laugh when she caught too much of one of the kerbs in one of the corners or when she almost lost the rear at the last chicane. Driving the kart around made her feel strangely nostalgic, especially when she thought back to the times she and her grandfather had gone to a track in Northampton for a few laps.

When she pulled up in front of the garage, Charlie found Fernando with a wide smile on his face, leaning against the wall.

— So, what do you think? — he asked.

Charlie walked over to him as she took off her helmet and balaclava.

— It's amazing, the kart is very well adjusted and the track is excellent! — she exclaimed, smiling, while the driver took one of his hands to her forehead, fixing her disheveled bangs — And you, what did you think?

— You still need some lessons — Fernando replied, receiving a playful pat on the chest from Charlie — But you've got potential, nena, lots of potential.

After laughing, she gave him a soft kiss, one hand on his face, caressing the driver's cheek. A moment Charlie wanted to keep forever inside her heart and not have it recorded and posted to the entire world. The sensationalist headlines were already sketching in her mind, one worse than the other.

“Fernando Alonso takes his own engineer to bed”.

"Meet Charlie Whitlam, Alonso's newest girl".

"Charlie Whitlam: how an ordinary engineer got one of Formula 1's most eligible bachelors".

— Look, Charlie — Fernando said, breaking the silence in the living room — I already knew this was going to happen.

She glanced in the driver's direction with a raised eyebrow.

— Did you?

— Well, when you achieve a certain notoriety in Spain, let's say your life becomes the object of scrutiny by the press, such as…

— Tabloids? — Charlie asked. She was familiar with abuse in the British press, especially by the tabloids. It was not uncommon to see journalists crowding around the drivers in Silverstone, in search of an image or a bombastic statement to put on the covers of their newspapers.

— Yeah — Fernando replied — The point is that, in one way or another, they would connect the dots between us. And then they would come after us, wanting more and more, just…

— Like it was with all the other girlfriends you had — she completed.

— Yes. I never felt really bad for them because they were people who were used to it. They lived off their own image, so showing up with me wouldn't hurt them. In fact, they even took advantage of this to boost their own careers, which seemed stupid to me…

— You know you can't judge them, right?

— Why not?

— Because you also live off your image and appearing alongside them wouldn't hurt you either. By the way, didn't you pose for a magazine cover with one of them?

Fernando gave an embarrassed giggle.

— Yeah, I did. But… How do you know that?

— I watched your documentary — Charlie murmured.

— Did you? When?

— On the flight to Vegas. By the way, I thought that magazine cover was shit.

He looked shocked.

— But the cover…

— It has a clear power imbalance between you and her, with the clothes and all. I would even say that it was sexist.

— I was shirtless.

— Wearing a suit coat and with her body covering your chest. It was ridiculous, Fer.

The driver stared at her for a few seconds before smiling, squeezing Charlie's hand.

— Okay, I admit, the idea was ridiculous.

— Sexist — she corrected.

— Ridiculous, sexist, any other descriptions you'd like to add?

— Disgusting. Idiotic. An offense to good taste.

— Okay, Charlie, I get it — Fernando sighed— The point is, you're different from them. You're not exactly a known person...

— People know my voice, they've seen me on television with you...

— Charlie, it's not the same as being my girlfriend. For these guys, you stop being a mere engineer to be a source of income. You stop being a person to be a character in their stories. And — he stopped, looking frustrated — Fuck, I didn't want that for you.

— No?

— You don't deserve to live in this scrutiny, in this monitored life, without any privacy, just because I love you — Fernando continued — I want my love to be something safe for you, to be something good and not a source of stress and fear.

Charlie looked at his hand thoughtfully.

— Where are you going with this story? — she asked quietly.

— I want you to know that you don't have to live through this if you don't want to.

— Are you giving me carte blanche to break up with you?

The driver's eyes widened.

— No, no, I don't want you to break up with me, Charlie. In fact, I want you by my side forever. But I don't want my life and everything that comes with it to become a burden on you.

— You would never be a burden, Fer.

— Maybe I'm not, but the spotlight is. Maybe the attention, the comments on the internet, the things people will say in the paddock, all of that is a burden. And I couldn't bear to see you fade just because I love you — he murmured — I want you to keep shining, Charlie. And I want to wake up every day with your light illuminating and warming me.

Something in his words made Charlie feel her eyes fill with tears. She had avoided love at all costs over the years. It was something too difficult, too terrifying for her. It wasn't worth investing in something that would only make her suffer and cry, clutching a bottle of wine and watching some sappy romance movie.

Then Fernando appeared in her life again. It was as if fate wanted them to settle the disputes that one had with the other. And the moment Charlie gave the driver a second chance, she allowed herself to discover a fantastic man, dedicated and loving, who cared about her and would do anything to see her happy.

Love was still difficult and terrifying for Charlie.

But, loving Fernando was the best thing that had happened in her life.

— I'll never fade as long as you're by my side — she said, with a small smile — I love you. And it won't be one article talking about me that will make me give up on you.

— Not even two?

— Not even a million — Charlie said, before approaching his face, giving a peck on his lips — Nothing in this world will make me give up on you.

Staring at her for a few seconds, Fernando smiled.

— You mean I can tell the whole world how much I love you?

— Well, it's not like nobody knows.

— But it wasn't me who said it, it was a bunch of nosy journalists. But, I think it’s time for me to say something and break the news on my own terms — he replied, taking his cell phone out of his pocket. Charlie almost immediately concluded what his plan was.

— Are you going to post a picture of us?

— Two, actually — the driver said, as he selected the images — If they want to know, they'll know.

— But — Charlie hesitated, looking at one of the photos — Do you need to post this one?

Fernando looked at her, one eyebrow raised.

— Don't you like this picture?

— I look terrible in it, Fer — she replied — Look at my hair, it's all messed up, I'm not wearing any makeup, and…

He chuckled, placing a hand on her face, his thumb lightly brushing her skin.

— You can be either way, I'll always find you beautiful — Fernando murmured — The most beautiful woman I've ever seen.

After searching a little more in the phone's gallery and finding a photo that showed the moment they were introduced to each other for the first time — with a Ron Dennis watching the moment attentively — the driver thought for long minutes before typing something in the telephone.

— “Two people never meet by chance” — Fernando said, looking at Charlie — What do you think?

— Are you talking about fate?

— Well, let's just say you made me believe in it.

She laughed.

— So it's my fault?

— Well, not only yours, but — the driver hesitated for a few seconds — There are only two ways to explain why we're together right now. One is careful planning and a crystal ball, which I believe is not the case. And the other is fate.

— So it was fate?

— Always has been, nena. You have always been my fate — Fernando said, before clicking the 'post' button.

Siente el poder del agua, siente el poder del amor.

Con cariño os digo que el océano Ártico se ha expandido para todos y que el agua tiene un mensaje para vosotros. El agua de todo el mundo, donde quiera que esté, se comunica entre sí, no importa si es en un lago o en la montaña más alta, no importa si es en una nube o en la Antártida, tan lejos del Ártico como sea posible, no importa. Todas las aguas resuenan con la misma frecuencia y ajustan esa frecuencia a esta nueva vibración que ha despertado. En el agua encontrarás las energías que buscas.

Para muchos de ustedes, este cambio los hará sentir diferentes, les hará cuestionarse quiénes son o qué sucede a su alrededor. Esto se debe a que respondéis a vuestra nueva frecuencia con cambios, situaciones y relaciones distintas. ¿Qué está sucediendo? El cambio no tiene por qué ser malo, de hecho es beneficioso, pero puede causar incomodidad y confusión. En el agua encontrarás la respuesta. Coge un buen vaso de agua, tómalo entre tus manos, respira hondo y deja que te ayude a equilibrar tus energías cuando te sientas sacudido. Este es un consejo que te doy hoy y te lo daré siempre. El agua tiene todas las energías que buscas, porque es ancestral, y el agua que tienes en tus manos ha viajado por todo el planeta, ha estado en aguas oceánicas, en mares, en ríos, en las nubes, en forma de vapor, en forma de hielo.. El agua que tienes en tus manos tiene todo lo que buscas, si no lo crees posible, pruébalo.

Toma el agua y pídele que te ayude a equilibrarte, a despertar esa energía de amor, fuego, resiliencia y adaptabilidad del Ártico.

En vuestro corazón se abren nuevas energías, se produce la expansión de vuestros dones y capacidades. Cuanta más conciencia y aceptación, más fácil será el proceso. Y el agua, cuando la vida te lo ponga difícil, te dará exactamente lo que necesitas. Es una herramienta poderosa".

~Diosa Gisela~

Message of the awareness of water💧 for the awakening of humanity, by the Goddess Gisela, and through Maria Merçè Carbonell, channel of Light, of the Community "Light and Consciousness" and says: "I am the Goddess Gisela, the divinity that watches over the ecosystems, the balances, love and brotherhood, both between planets and within this planet. She feels the power of the water, she feels the power of love. With love I tell you that the Arctic Ocean has expanded for everyone and that the water has a message for you. The water of the whole world, wherever it is, communicates with each other, it does not matter if it is in a lake or on the highest mountain, it does not matter if it is in a cloud or in Antarctica, as far from the Arctic as possible, It doesn't matter. All waters resonate with the same frequency and adjust that frequency to this new awakened vibration. In the water you will find the energies you are looking for. For many of you, this change will make you feel different, it will make you question who you are or what is going on around you. This is because you respond to your new frequency with different changes, situations, and relationships. What's happening? Change does not have to be bad, in fact it is beneficial, but it can cause discomfort and confusion. In the water you will find the answer. Take a good glass of water, take it between your hands, take a deep breath and let it help you balance your energies when you feel shaken. This is advice that I give you today and I will always give it to you. Water has all the energies you are looking for, because it is ancestral, and the water you hold in your hands has traveled the entire planet, it has been in oceanic waters, in seas, in rivers, in the clouds, in the form of steam, in form of ice.. The water you have in your hands has everything you are looking for, if you don't believe it possible, try it. Take the water and ask it to help you balance, to awaken that energy of love, fire, resilience and adaptability of the Arctic. New energies open up in your heart, the expansion of your gifts and capacities takes place. The more awareness and acceptance, the easier the process will be. And water, when life makes it hard for you, will give you exactly what you need. It's a powerful tool."

~Goddess Gisela~

Pagani Zonda R

When Pagani's first product, the Zonda, released at the 1999 Geneva Motor Show It was immediately hailed for its radical styling, stunning performance, and almost inconceivable technical sophistication. It was built as a physical representation of Horacio Pagani’s insistent quest to produce “Una Macchina con Anima”, a car with a soul.While the original Zonda was a rather exceptional machine to see in the new millennium, the potential for the chassis and engine combination seemed endless, and it wasn’t long before the Pagani started to consider the idea of a track-only, ultimate iteration of the dramatic road car. This raw, glorious sounding, carbon fibre wearing, stretched out Zonda became the Zonda R, and could be created with absolutely no regulations to adhere to, allowing Pagani to throw quite literally everything at producing the world’s most beautiful and yet astoundingly aggressive driver’s car. The Zonda R’s structure features an advanced iteration of the Zonda F chassis with a carbon-titanium monocoque, a cutting-edge material developed by Pagani themselves, where both titanium and carbon weave are bonded together to benefit from the engineering properties of both materials. Quite literally behind your ear lobes sits the Zonda R’s greatest asset. Powered by a naturally aspirated, Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR-derived 6.0-litre V12 engine that produces 780 horsepower, this powerplant is paired with a six-speed sequential transaxle, which features a multi-disc racing clutch and lightweight magnesium casing. It’s kept cool by F1-derived roof scoops and intake channels, allowing this rocketship to launch from 0-62mph in just 2.7 seconds, and onto a top speed of 230mph, if you’re brave enough that is. Simply put, it is truly a track weapon of the most ferocious variety. It’s a car that technically doesn’t need to exist, but we are so, so thankful that it does. It showcases Pagani’s consistent desire to create the ultimate machine, one that is beautiful crafted, one that makes spine-tingling sounds, one that is truly engineered like nothing else both on and off the racetrack.

The Breath of the Wild trilogy idea

(SPOILERS FOR THE END OF TEARS OF THE KINGDOM)

So I've seen some posts about an idea for the next game in the BotW and TotK series involving Link and Zelda having to deal with a Gerudo boy, now that Ganondorf is dead.

I love that idea, so here’s my take:

Let's have it be a few years into the future, Link and Zelda using their knowledge of Zonai technology to speed up the kingdom's restoration, utilizing the Sky Islands and the depths. And while Ganondorf is gone, the kingdom is still recovering from the remnants of his dark magic, although it’s much more manageable, the military growing in strength and reach.

Enter the news from the Gerudo that a male is born.

...it feels a bit weird to suggest this, but for the sake of drama and a more personal connection to the main characters, let’s say Riju is the mother. It’s some years into the future, Hyrule is rebuilding, the Gerudo would definitely help with military training and I think it’d be cute to have Riju find herself a voe among the soldiers. He could be a guy who wasn’t fit to be a soldier but Riju pulled him aside because she noticed his skills being more useful in strategy. Of course, he’s still training his fighting skills cuz I love the idea of them having a casual duel with a flirtatious undertone.

While having a deep love for their baby boy, the chieftess and her husband fear for the fate of their son, the only remaining history of a Gerudo male being that of Ganondorf. No one would dare to say it out loud but it still reached Riju that her people had whispered about the cruel idea to end the boy’s life before history is repeated, this new golden era being threatened by his mere existence.

Desperate to fight this alleged fate, Riju seeks Zelda’s wisdom and they begin to investigate the matter. Still having her secret stone, Zelda is able to get a sense of the boy’s future but feels nothing evil. So she encourages Riju to simply let the boy grow up and guide him like she would a normal boy who isn’t fated to be evil, and to face criticism with the fact that he will be guided by good people.

But then, when the boy reaches somewhere between 10 and 13 years, he gets some strange dreams and ends up disappearing.

The game will be about Link trying to find him, maybe FINALLY travelling WITH Zelda so she can use her time powers to see the memory of objects and find out what the boy had been up to, seeing him discover something calling to him and how he uncovers a power within himself.

Link had spent quite some time with the boy, exploring Hyrule together. It was a way to grow a love for it instead of a desire to conquer it; seeing things from the perspective of a citizen rather than from the tall position of a leader. So the boy knew his way around the land. But it also meant he had a connection with Link and they knew each other pretty well. Link and Zelda have faith in him and believes he won’t easily be tricked into evil.

And basically, they uncover the deep mysteries of the long forgotten and forbidden sorcery of the Gerudo, the witches Kotake and Koume (who somehow sealed themselves to aid Ganondorf but were too late to aid him in TotK, so they focus on this new boy)

The witches try to convince the Gerudo boy to channel his inherited power and take his mother’s secret stone; become an exceptionally powerful king (perhaps one of his strongest desires being to become someone his people can respect and that’s been so difficult, they try to convince him power is the only way).

...but the twist will be that he had already decided his fate and dives deep in order to destroy the witches from within. ...but the witches knew that and pulled an Uno reverse card and used magic on him, forcing him to fight from within himself. To make him weak against their magic, the witches made him kill Riju (parallel to Sonia, but of course, Riju won’t go down without a fight) and take her stone to amplify their control over him.

He’s tortured with that memory and unable to fight back for a while. When Link and company arrives to battle him, they manage to weaken the control but the witches then sacrifices themselves, entering the stone to amplify their control. Link still manages to weaken the spell enough for the boy to remove the stone (paralleling TotK) and throw it to him, Link destroying the stone and Zelda using her powers to purify the boy.

Happy ending where the Gerudo boy is made chief (because he refuses to be called king after all the time he spent with the “you’ll be a powerful king” witches) and the ghost of Riju expresses how proud she is of her child who defied destiny and proved the strength of the Gerudo.

The story uses parallels to give the impression of fate being at work, and ancient Gerudo runes talking about the witches’ destiny to resurrect their king to make it seem like it’s set in stone. But the boy’s destiny isn’t mentioned... because it was never written...

And since BotW only had the surface and TotK mainly focusing on the sky islands, this one will focus more on the depths...

I call it... Legend of Zelda: Runes of the Chasm

...oh, and gotta include the fact that the boy will meet Master Kohga who believes the boy is the new Ganondorf, and the boy takes full advantage of that, remembering the stories Link told him about how stupid the Yiga clan are. He’ll send them on fools errands to locations he knows Link will be at, so they can stupidly reveal the boy’s location, keeping Link on the right track.

...also, because I’m a Zelink shipper and this idea involves a time skip of at least 11 years after the events of TotK, I say Link and Zelda are married, Link is the new king, and he’s a bit like Rauru - sneaking out on adventures and has to be fetched by Zelda who gives him a stern but loving lecture. Also, they got a little princess who has her dad’s flair for adventure.

---

Thanks for reading! This was based on ideas I already had for an independent Zelda story, I have no plans to delve deeper. This was just my two cents, feel free to elaborate on any of the ideas or even use them for your own take on “Link and Zelda having to deal with a Gerudo boy”. :D

Sean bienvenidosfanaticosarqueológicos a una nueva noticia arqueológica del país del sol naciente ¿Dé que trata dicha noticia? Pues a continuación sin más demora os traigo un supernotición del periodo Asuka(592-710).

Se han descubierto unos restos arqueológicos que datan del año 650 hace unos 1300 años de antigüedad en la antigua ciudad de Asuka en la prefectura de Nara, para la próxima publicación hablaremos de las prefecturas, aunque sea un resumen.

¿Quién ha encontrado estos restos arqueológicos? Fueron encontrados por el Instituto Arqueológico de Kashihara del que ya hablaremos próximamente. ¿Cuál era el uso de este canal? Serviría para desviar el agua que se desbordaba para llenar el estanque que os dejaré una ilustración del mismo.

Las piedras tienen un diámetro de 6 metros, las cuales están pavimentadas. Desde luego una gran obra hidráulica para su época. - Os deseo un feliz día y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones un cordial saludo.

考古学ファンの皆様、日出ずる国からの新しい考古学ニュースへようこそ。このニュースは何についてのものですか? さて、早速、飛鳥時代（592年～710年）のスーパーニュースをお届けします。

古都奈良県の飛鳥市で約1300年前の650年頃の遺跡が発見されたが、次回はまとめではあるが都道府県の話��したいと思う。 - 誰がこれらの遺跡を発見したのでしょうか? それらは橿原考古学研究所によって発見されました。これについては後ほど説明します。このチャンネルの用途は何ですか? これは、溢れ出た水を池に流すのに役立ちます。その図を残しておきます。

直径6メートルの石が敷き詰められている。確かに当時としては素晴らしい水圧作業でした。

幸せな一日をお祈りいたします。また今後の出版物でお会いしましょう。心からご挨拶申し上げます。

Welcome archaeological fans to a new archaeological news from the country of the rising sun. What is this news about? Well, without further delay, I bring you a super news from the Asuka period (592-710).

Archaeological remains dating back to the year 650, about 1,300 years ago, have been discovered in the ancient city of Asuka in Nara Prefecture. For the next publication we will talk about the prefectures, even if it is a summary.

Who found these archaeological remains? They were found by the Kashihara Archaeological Institute, which we will talk about soon. What was the use of this channel? It would serve to divert the water that was overflowing to fill the pond, which I will leave you with an illustration of.The stones have a diameter of 6 meters, which are paved. Certainly a great hydraulic work for its time.

I wish you a happy day and see you in future publications, cordial greetings.

Good news! Shou, yes... it's the REAL SHOU, he has responded by private message to our friends from A9 Argentina, regarding everything that is happening with the massive harassment of us and other communities of the band. Remember that since last year we have been harassed by the same person, who has created many false accounts on different social networks. This person shut down our website, shut down our youtube channel, and lately has attacked us on Tumblr and through emails, as well as threatening our staff's personal social media. Because of this person we can't create a new website, nor a new YouTube channel, since for obvious reasons she knows how to handle Google at her whim and can close our sites without problems. So don't insist, we won't be able to continue sharing Alice Nine material with you as long as this girl continues to exist on the internet, she won't get bored of harming us or our entire environment. Shou clearly mentions that [email protected] has nothing to do with them, nor that they are filing complaints against us. Remember that Alice Nine has known for years since FAIX's existence, members and staff follow us on twitter, retweet us, share our material, even Hiroto and Tora have shared things from our Youtube channel without problems. They don't hate us, they love us for sharing information about them with you, for translating all kinds of things into Spanish and English, all to do you and them a favor. On the other hand, if you know of any way to help us, if you have contacts who have been through the same thing, or if you know people close to google, please help us, this has come too far. Please report all these accounts, every report helps to make this crazy person disappear. [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/a9_tora/ https://www.instagram.com/a9_saga/ https://web.facebook.com/alicenine.official https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC381H7iNJLOUiZijZVypPzg https://twitter.com/ChisameV/ [email protected] [email protected] ------ ¡Buenas noticias! Shou, sí... es el REAL SHOU, ha respondido por mensaje privado a nuestros amigos de A9 Argentina, respecto a todo lo que está sucediendo con el acoso masivo a nosotros y a otras comunidades de la banda. Recuerden que desde el año pasado hemos recibido acoso por una misma persona, que se ha creado muchas cuentas falsas en diferentes redes sociales. Esta persona cerró nuestro sitio web, cerró nuestro canal de youtube, y últimamente nos ha atacado por Tumblr y por correos electrónicos, además de amenazar nuestras redes sociales personales de nuestro personal. Por culpa de esta persona no podemos crear un nuevo sitio web, ni un nuevo canal de Youtube, ya que por obvias razones ella sabe manejar Google a su antojo y puede cerrar nuestros sitios sin problemas. Así que no insistan, no podremos seguir compartiendo material de Alice Nine con ustedes mientras esta chica siga existiendo en internet, no se aburrirá de perjudicarnos a nosotros, ni a todo nuestro entorno. Claramente Shou, menciona que el [email protected] no tiene nada que ver con ellos, ni que están poniendo denuncias contra nosotros. Recuerden que Alice Nine sabe desde hace años desde la existencia de FAIX, los miembros y el staff nos siguien en twitter, nos retwittean, comparten nuestro material, incluso Hiroto y Tora han compartido cosas de nuestro canal de Youtube sin problemas. Ellos no nos odian, nos aman por compartir información de ellos con ustedes, por traducir todo tipo de cosas al español e inglés, todo para hacerles un favor a ustedes y a ellos. Por otra parte, si conoces alguna forma de ayudarnos, si tienes contactos que hayan pasado por lo mismo, o si conoces gente cercana a google, por favor ayúdanos, esto ha llegado muy, muy lejos. Por favor reporta todas estas cuentas, toda denuncia ayuda a hacer desaparecer a esta loca persona. [email protected] https://www.instagram.com/a9_tora/ https://www.instagram.com/a9_saga/ https://web.facebook.com/alicenine.official https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC381H7iNJLOUiZijZVypPzg https://twitter.com/ChisameV/ [email protected] [email protected]

here’s the Google translation of it behind the cut!

The young British actor is the new global ambassador of Phantom Perfume Rabanne, a fragrance with which he acknowledges feeling quite identified. Since he became known globally with Stranger Things, this actor so physical and intuitive has come to represent a kind of generational idea of glamour as incontestable as it is far from orthodox canons. We wanted to talk to him about fashion, creativity and David Bowie.

A room (hotel room?) Ramshackle, a mattress without blankets and many vintage televisions tuned in to unusual channels: these are the ingredients of the new Phantom campaign, Rabanne's robotic perfume, for which the brand has counted on Charlie Heaton (Leeds, 1994) as an image and global ambassador. The young actor, whom we all met thanks to the series-phenomenon Stranger Things, has been gaining an interesting career over the last few years, appearing in such interesting films as No Future or The Souvenir Part II (both in 2021). But what was your previous relationship with a brand that defines you, in a press release, as an electrifying presence and a call to shape the future? It will be better to ask himself.

I was familiar with Rabanne before working on this campaign," Heaton acknowledges, "but only as a perfume brand. When they offered me the possibility of being their ambassador, it was when I began to know more about everything there is to know about them, their history and their values. I became a big, big fan of their clothes, their accessories and, in short, everything they have done over the years. I think I was really impressed with what they came to represent during the sixties, which I think is incredibly cool. That was the moment when I fell exhausted, and it's been great."

Directed by filmmaker and photographer Matt Lambert, the new Phantom ad invites us to a most suggestive nocturnal universe, as its protagonist explains: "The campaign plays with two concepts that seem very powerful to me when they are united: Paris and the night. Together they create something beautiful, because we all know that the city of Paris has a different energy when the sun goes down. The name of the fragrance also seems very evocative to me: Phantom. I'm still trying to guess what it can mean!"

What does seem to be clear is that Let's Dance, David Bowie's song that serves as a leitmotif for the entire campaign, "should be considered one of the best in history. It would have to be on all the lists! During the shooting we didn't stop listening to it in a loop, so part of that energy is present in the images."

A familiar face

Since Stranger Things was placed in our lives seven years ago, Heaton experienced a transformation overnight. Suddenly, the young interpreter was a celebrity who, due to his unmistakable features, was going to be very difficult to go unnoticed. How have you lived through that whole process? "I think I have a very good relationship with the fans. I especially notice it when I'm traveling, and you have to keep in mind that, due to my work, I travel a lot to different parts of the world. I have been to Spain many times, for example, but the truth is that most of the time I spend it between the United States and my native country, England."

I am aware," he continues, "of having appeared in a series that has been seen so much in so many parts of the world has made me a recognizable face wherever I go, which gives me an opportunity to meet very different people. I'm lucky, because it has been a genuinely positive experience in most cases. It has allowed me to live very sweet moments with the fans, so I can't complain."

Apart from meeting new people and traveling, Heaton declares that "my greatest source of admiration is, I would say, to see the people I admire work. I also love discovering a new movie, or just having conversations with my friends. I love being able to talk to them about acting, confess to them what my desires are within this profession and listen to theirs. So I would say that these are small day-to-day inspirations."

Before dedicating himself full-time to acting, Charlie Heaton was going to be a musician. In fact, he was in a rock group (as a drummer) and then joined another psychedelic, so we talked about something more than a hobby. "Many people know that my two great creative passions are acting and music," he confesses to us, "but lately I have also gotten into ceramics (laughs). Yes, it may have become a passion, although I still don't know how important it's going to end up being... At the moment, I'm very excited about it, so we'll have to wait and see."

Fashion too, of course," Heaton clarifies. "It has always played a great role in my life, I have always loved being able to express myself through the clothes I choose to wear. But I find it strange to talk about this, since I would never go around considering myself a stylish person... I don't think so, but at the same time I do know that I am able to appreciate good taste and good style in general."

As for whether or not he follows some style routine, the actor is more ambivalent: "It depends on what I'm going to do at all times. Or where do you plan to go, then it is likely that you will not follow any routine of style per se. For me, the great thing is when you do these things for yourself and only for yourself, instead of to go to a gala or impress someone. Dress well just for you, because you feel like it. But no, the truth is that I usually wear comfortable clothes in my day to day... A lot of worn jeans. I would tell you that this is my most emblematic garment."

We can almost visualize it with them as he moves to the rhythm of Bowie on some Parisian street.
