"(...) Recently the Catholic Church in Cologne denied me permission to film when I wanted to use one of their fancy downtown properties to talk to Cornelia Funke about her magnificent Inkworld trilogy. Too unchristian was the message of Funke's books, the Cardinal in Cologne suggested, to allow a conversation about it in a Catholic house of prayer."

lmao

Another common katholische Kirche L *circus music starts playing*

Reblogging this post to say, yeah, my silence will continue another month.

Regarding The Color of Revenge:

Please, please, PLEASE tag your spoilers! The American version doesn’t come out until November and so far, I’ve been able to avoid spoilers by blocking the TCoR tags specifically. I would hate to have to block the main fandom tags as well, but I’ve been waiting 20 years for this and I would really appreciate not having it spoiled for me! Thank you!

ah man this is stuff from about 1 year ago but i like coming back to it...

This is hildegunst von mythenmetz, a known Zamonian writer!! Basically, i wanted to redesign the books by hildegunst von mythenmetz Walter Moers in my style for uni....and these were the skecthes i did but to be fair i just wanted to draw more of Moerses characters xd

Ive known these books for a long time and its such a shame so little people know about them! Theyre mostly popular in germany and sadly they stopped translating them... Im not sure how i can sell you this series but City of Dreaming Books is great, it reminds me of grimms fairy tales but theyre humoristic as well, and moers did the illustrations for it himself... Recently a visual novel of the book i mentioned came out and its looking real pretty as well (also the books mostly feature non human characters which is cool for me i like creatures)

I swear I saw someone here fancast goran višnjić for mortimer a few years ago and revisiting it now, it's still a pretty inspired choice imo

most importantly he's 6'4 aka fucking huge??

I literally took a deep breath like I was about to explain, out loud, to my laptop, that this is a bad translation.

@randomguyno3462 already pointed it out in the replies, but what Dustfinger actually says is "I'd rather tell my children about nice people, too."

When I read it for the very first time, this actually made me wait for Dustfinger's children to show up throughout the entire book, because that sentence made it pretty clear they existed, so... where were they?

WILD to just add "If I had" in front of that WHAT was the reason??

Dustfinger! You little-

[schleierkauz]

me: how about you stop “scrolling” your “dash” and start dashing to deliver me scrolls

my useless apprentice: why do you pay the homunculus more than me

In case anyone is wondering why I've barely been posting since TCoR released, it's because I have filled up a journal with my thoughts on it, started translating the whole thing for fun and gotten into several heated discussions with irl friends. Until we've all read it I don't trust myself to be very active on here because if I end up being the person to accidentally spoil any of you I'd walk into the ocean.
