he is TORMENTING that old man
One hand wrapped around Magnifico’s still-soft cock, startling the rest of the breath out of his lungs. Dandini looked at him carefully, thick brows lowered. “Have you never had someone take you in their mouth?” “No?” Dandini laughed. “You may want to hold onto something,” he added, and bent, without any more preamble, to take Magnifico’s soft cock in his mouth, tip to base.

i forgot i wrote this. the #uncasoassaibizzarro boner stories are great.
When he finally came downstairs, Tisbe and Clorinda paused from their breakfast around the table in the kitchen to stare at him. “That’s Mamma’s wedding waistcoat,” Clorinda said, mildly scandalized. “Are you going out?” “Dandini invited me for coffee,” he said, and his daughters stared at him as if he was out of his mind. Tisbe took a long drink of her coffee, raised her eyebrows, and looked him up and down. “Like that?”

i have actually written a version of this.
Dandini straightened his waistcoat down from where it had begun to ride up above the overhang of his belly. “Sadly, I, no. My wife is, how you say—“ that handsome face creased for a moment. “Monogamy?” It was Hans Anne’s turn to raise his eyebrows. “You?” It almost beggared belief. When they had been young, there had not been a single queer man of his acquaintance in Paris or Milan who had not had sex with Dandini. Usually all at the same time.

magnifico is a very smart and talented man. #uncasoassaibizzarro
“Did I fall down the stairs?” His voice sounded so lost that he blinked, looking down at himself, unsure it had been him that spoke. It was certainly his body, but still he reached for his throat, feeling the flesh. His ascot was still on. That was good, he thought. Looking down had, however, revealed that his shoes were not. “Where are my shoes?” “Here.” Dandini waved them vaguely. “You stepped in something; I’ll clean them tomorrow.” He set them by the door, put his hands at the small of his back, and groaned. “You certainly tried to fall down the stairs.” He gave Magnifico a fond look. “However did you manage to stand after that tasting in the palace cellar?” He had to think very hard about that. “Barely.” He burped, grimaced. “With help.”

anyway check THESE out. baby's first three pairs of socks for me and the boys. mine (blue) were first, james (brown) second, sam (green) third. all were done slightly differently and all were lots of fun.
three people's feet wearing three pairs of hand-knit socks. on bottom is a pair of ankle socks with a wide knit stitch in a dark blue with green and pink stripes yarn. on the right is a pair of tight knit brown gradient plain socks. on left is a pair of bright green socks in a broken rib stitch pattern.

i wish there had been more outsider pov with dandini in my book just so this sentence could be in the novel and not in modern setting silliness
Dandini added, fondly now, “He is very irritating and you will not like him, but I like him, you see, so you will forgive him when he says something stupid.”

just little wife things in #uncasoassaibizzarro
Married life settled with a certainty it hadn’t, before, when he had been young and a new husband. Then, everything had been frightening; now, he knew how marriage worked and where he stood. Now, he’d grown inured to the realities of fatherhood, whether he wanted to or not. There were difficulties—many of them, he knew, his fault—but the reward of watching Dandini read in the parlor in the evening, stretched comfortably across the creaking settee, or helping the girls with their hair, or seeing him burn his tongue when Despina had him taste dinner, or waking in the middle of the night to find him asleep with one foot atop Magnifico’s ankles, made up for all the rest.

dandini from rossini's opera "la cenerentola" and also my novel. canonically queer and perhaps at his very best as played by claudio desderi in the ponnelle production bc Look At Him

this thing is enormous and i have almost 200pgs to go. fortunately i cannot read more than probably 10pgs hardcopy at a time and this is what will keep me sane.

sock test: success. i will be honest with you. these are unbelievably comfy cozy warm. the only way they could be better is if i'd made the toes slightly longer bc i have really long toes but i will remember that for next time.
my feet, wearing a pair of hand-knit ankle roll socks in very dark blue with green and pink aurora color stripes

IM LOSING MY FUCKING MIND. HELLO?
bts 1987 don giovanni photo from the start of act 2. desderi as leporello is leaning back into allen as the don's shoulder. allen has one arm around his chest and desderi is grabbing his hand. the lighting makes it look like a bodice ripper cover.

the cover of the cd of this recording is destroying me
the cd cover of 1987 ponnelle l'occasione fa il ladro. the entire cast is pointing at desderi who is popping out of the giant suitcase on the floor.
