And so, I’m watching an old star, so beloved by many directors of that time, and only as a result of popularity having fans. You know, there are some celebrities, who have fans, but these fans are of such a human quality (as fans) that if you slip them another star, they won't notice. That is, these people would watch the movie without this actor, without their favorite star. But there are people to whom this star is a reason not to watch a film. There’s a law emerging, by the way, it’s one of the laws of success Firokamian art, our producers take into account not the majority but the minority, whose opinion is more substantiated and because of this, more charismatic, and the majority will catch up, thanks to good advertising. The majority always catches up. It’s a common mistake to think that the minority can be ignored. It isn’t the minority that follows the majority, but the pack follows the leader. And there are no leaders in majority. But if you take into account the leader, they will lead the pack.

the Black Abyss

I want you to leave, but not because you could somehow hinder me. For you", Klaus sighed, "and for the city. Our kingdom isn't just walled off from the Dragon Mountains for no reason. There are roads through the Black Abyss, but only where it's necessary. In Damar, one cannot just build a road. The mayor is young; he wants to be remembered. He's a good mayor, but far too young, unaware of how things stand. That's our fault too; we didn't tell him in time. The Black Abyss is the place where all the evil of our kingdom converges. One must be very careful when building bridges and roads over it, and only with the permission of the Dragon Mountains' masters. There lies the land of dragons. We circumvent these mountains, not just because they are mountains, difficult to survive, easy to fall, expensive to build upon, no. It's forbidden land, not accessible to everyone. Where the dragons grant permission, there we have roads, held up by their nobility and kindness. And the evil of the Black Abyss, that's our evil, which prevents us from merging with the land of dragons. We must eradicate it, then the abyss will disappear. But it cannot be crossed by a rope, especially if you're angry with me.

Lessons Learned

At the age of 12, I found myself deeply engrossed in children's detective stories. There was a particular publishing house renowned for its Children's Detective series. Naturally, I tried my hand at writing too, and by the age of 14, I had penned "The Secret of Green Roses." It was my first earnest attempt at writing a complete book, a departure from the usual poems and lyrical sketches I composed. I diligently wrote it in pencil in a notebook, then enlisted the help of someone with a computer to type it up and print it out. I even managed to persuade a guy to deliver the manuscript to that very publishing house during his trip to Moscow. This uncle was a punchy phlegmatic, like Mowgli from the joke, who is reaching*

His return brought a rejection. The editor had perused the manuscript and commented, "It's commendable that our children are writing, and this is quite good. But why is a Russian child writing about a European town with non-Russian names? It's mere imitation. However, if the setting is changed to reflect Russian realities, then we can discuss further.

Can you just imagine how offended I was! It felt like a direct insult to my creativity. "Let them burn in hell!" I thought, filled with indignation. At that time, I was deeply into black magic and even considered cursing them, but ultimately, I chose to dismiss them with disdain. They weren't worth the effort.

Not long after, the publishing house began releasing Russian children's detective stories within the same series, authored by some Valery Ronshins. It was a wildy-weirdo, utterly mediocre. I purchased two books in 'Russian realities,' and they were appalling. That was the end of my interest in the series. Eventually, the publishing house faded into obscurity. I was shocked, like, damn it, they published this unreadable nonsense, but they didn’t like my names? 0__0 Lord... we really don’t get along, damn it, with such people.

Review on The Door by Magda Szabo, after the Orbita book club meeting

https://albireomkgblogeng.wordpress.com/2024/04/03/so-the-door-by-magda-szabo
#Cheerful_People
At last, we visited the Orbita book club. We tried for so long (we even read a few books from past meetings!) and finally, it happened.
Our persistence paid off; the meeting was fantastic!
We discussed Magda Szabó's book "The Door".
I'm not sure what to tell you about, whether it's the cool people we met there or the book itself.
Well, after all, people are personal, so let's talk about the book. But overall, we're glad we went. It was an incredibly pleasant meeting with intellectual people, just as you'd imagine a book club to be.

And all the new acquaintances were delightful, and it turns out Anna-Maria was there, whom we already know from various literary events at the library! And she recognized us too, saying - oh, I already know most of this group of birds of a feather flock together)))
Everyone was terribly nice. But Bulgarians, in general, are mostly nice and friendly. Yep, unlike our compatriots and those bros from the other side. But moreover, everyone was there... well, subtly intelligent, well-read, profound.

Strangely, it was one of the best meetings in recent times, and yet I've taken so long to write a post. Well, that happens to me sometimes.

It's because the approach to conducting internet narratives, I don't know what to call the chatter on the web pages now, all has changed. I miss the old approach; I liked it the most, but somehow I can't go back. And with the new one, you constantly need to tie together a bunch of things, emphasize a bunch of things, and that takes time.
Just writing like before, it's fun, but because of the information overload and the deluge of info, I just feel sorry for people because their attention is already so fragmented, and to just tug at them with trifles... on the other hand, they'll spend less time on the short stuff and absorb the information more easily than a long read. Alright, I'll think about it some more. There's also the trouble that my blog is now general, like, directly for long-reads-updates and for personal stuff, and the personal has become so thoughtfully cumbersome. Of course, one could just constantly tweet into Telegram, for example, and transfer the good stuff straight to the blog (fb isn't for it with their censorship it's not a platform for speaking out anymore)... and if Telegram dies, well, the important stuff, as I wanted, will remain in the blog.



I'll write about the book in a separate post. With marked opinions from the meeting.

Conspiracy of the Broken
"It broke again. This must be some kind of conspiracy, a conspiracy of the broken."
"What are you talking about? What conspiracy? It's just the life cycle and service life. If it's broken, fix it."
"But how can you fix something that was made to be broken? It was destined to break. I'm broken down just looking at all these broken things. Broken things lead to broken people, and broken people create more broken things. It's a vicious cycle of the broken."
"Exactly, the broken beget the broken, and the whole beget the whole. Therefore, the broken must be mended. Have something delicious, listen to some uplifting music, cheer yourself up, and then tackle the repairs."

Donna Nochesvetka's Review for my short story "I love bringing joy to people"

I've received a review from Donna Nochesvetka that is particularly good, not only because it's a balm for the author's heart, but also because it clearly communicates the essence of the story to readers. You can read the story for free here: https://albireo-mkg.com/free but it's still in Russian.
I wanted translating it quickly, but it has 90 pages of word, so, it can't be quickly. I considered it as 7-page short story 0_o
However!

Old friend

"What happened to your phone?" Odo inquired.
"Ohe, a monkey tricked me in the jungle. We were in Kalimantan at the time, and I chased after it... It climbed a tree to escape me, and I called out: 'Let's make a trade!' I started tossing nuts and fruits to it, and finally, it threw my phone back to me. Just like this.But it turned out that the monkey turned on the camera and I have a video of the jungle from above the trees!" He chuckled again, scrolled through on the device, and turned it on "One of the best videos on the entire Internet was made by a monkey!"

Odo smiled subtly, admiring the dense, vibrant greenery and the unusual flowers in the video. He could see all this with his own eyes. A wave of bitterness and anger began to swell within him. But then he thought, 'Well, okay! The flowers in my garden are just as good!'
"Why don't you change your phone?" Odo asked.
"What? No! It's been through battles with me. You don't swap old friends for a pretty new shell. It has its stories, and I have mine. We share them afterward. Sometimes, it's the only conversation partner I have. I'll replace its screen, of course, tighten everything up, fix it—oh, it's bound to run into trouble again; that's just its nature. I've repaired it so many times... but then again, how many times have I had to patch myself up? Still, it's one thing after another, ah."
The captain gestured dismissively and burst into hearty laughter.

The City for life

In Firokami, a district equalization program is currently underway. The goal is to eliminate "dangerous" and distinctly "safe" areas within the City; instead, all areas should be comfortable for living. Firokami is known for its thematic areas rich in cultural codes, celebrating multicultural diversity. Asian, Eastern, Northern lifestyles—Firokami dedicates areas to preserve authenticity. However, it is vigilant in ensuring that districts do not become autonomous principalities within the City. Neither the authorities—the service responsible for protecting the populace and enforcing the rule of law—nor the townspeople are hesitant to venture into any area. Any attempts to dominate a part of the city by someone bold and reckless are met with eviction from Firokami or, in extreme cases, relocation into sexual slavery to willing coryphaei. The City is ruthless. Indifferent. The freedom of diversity is upheld by the harsh suppression of any attempts to disrupt the balance. Those who disagree with the City's ways are free to approach the Authorities and request relocation outside of Firokami, at the City's expense. Despite its harshness, residents and visitors prefer Firokami to the conventional world. With his (the City is he) technology, opportunities, and a non-totalitarian approach to self-expression—as long as one's freedom does not infringe upon the freedoms of others—life in Firokami is deemed far more appealing than anywhere else.

We've adorned the altars for Ostara. It's too early for photos; we don't yet have cranes-cookies, eggs, or bouquets of primroses, but the table has been set for the spirits. I personally brought some treats to Garden spirit and his pals, to the placa where they play, usually with pebbles in the grassyard in front of the house. Time by time, we bring new stones for Gardener.
At home, the altar has been adorned as well.
I've begun reading "Svet vi ochakva" by Plamen Dikov. Based on the annotation, it appears to be the organized story of the Vivian girls by Darger, complete with the author's own illustrations, as well, by the way.
I sincerely hope (and wish!) that Plamen achieves success during his lifetime, unlike Darger.
