ALPI ITALIANE

[trenstrenats]

okay so this is very niche and no one's gonna get it but this is my blog so whatever

if noel gets sent to spain and we know nothing of when he was sent to, i think it's safe to assume he's still in 1934-1935. and you know what was happening in spain from 1931 to 1936? when the civil war started and all academics had to flee?

linguists were gathering information for a phonetic atlas (ALPI). so essentially they went around asking a bunch of people how they say these specific 45 words, and they asked everywhere. so in the end you get a map of how the people from the north say 'water' differently from the people on the south. and the funny thing is that in the iberian peninsula there's quite the handful of languages so you can see a lot of change as a continuum (there's not a clear border between languages)

but on top of all that overall change, noel is in there somewhere. and i just think it's so funny that if they asked him, the list from the region he appeared in would look something like this:

abeja [ɜˈβɛʎɜ]

abeja [ˈbeʎɜ]

abeja [aˈβeʎɐ]

abeja [bi:]

abeja [əˈβɜʎɜ]

Certe cose non ti scivolano addosso.

Certe cose ti si appiccicano alla pelle, ti si infilano sotto le unghie, ti si depositano nel sangue, fin dentro le ossa. Le senti tremare con te, nel cuore della notte, percuoterti il corpo con violenti singhiozzi, macchiarti le guance con lacrime bollenti. Certe cose ti si aggrappano al cuore, rendendolo pesante come un blocco di catrame, un lastrone di marmo con sopra inciso il suo nome.

Certe cose non ti scivolano addosso; ti trascinano con loro. In luoghi umidi e oscuri, dove non splende mai il sole e non brillano le stelle. Dove non c’è posto per sognare e in cui nessuna musica riesce ad arrivare. Dove tutto quello che puoi fare è cercare di continuare a respirare

respirare

respirare

mentre lentamente continui ad annegare.

My Top Ongoing Manga Series This Year

I read a lot of manga this year, and I wanted to celebrate some of my favorites. My top completed manga series this year can be found here.

Details on these series below the cut!

The volume counts are for the number of volumes published in English. In no particular order.

Tearmoon Empire [ongoing, 6 vols] Reincarnated villainess, but skews younger than the typical villainess manga. I really like the cute, self-centered main character. She's such a little brat and I love her.

The Strange House [ongoing, 2 vols] Spooky urban horror type story. Genuinely spooked me at several points, while not being outwardly that scary. The story revolves around investigating a house with strange architecture.

The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap [ongoing, 4 vols] Pretty, fairytale-esque isekai. The main character transforms herself into a cat to hide from her problems, which is something I wish I could do.

Nina the Starry Bride [ongoing, 13 vols] Achingly beautiful fantasy romance story. Lovely art and amazing characters. One of those series that can make you hate a character so much and then twist it and make you fall in love with them.

[Oshi no Ko] [ongoing, 8 vols] Very weird premise, but very enjoyable story. I like seeing the portrayal of the entertainment industry, and the different ways the young professionals in that world are going about achieving their goals.

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash [ongoing, 6 vols] Sosososo cute!! A typical fantasy adventure story, with the protagonist being shunned for having no skills. But I really like that her skills genuinely are weak. Her strength comes from her kindness and sincerity, and I love that.

Witch Hat Atelier [ongoing, 12 vols] Thee most beautiful manga I have ever read, bar none. I love the characters, and I want them all to be happy! Very stressful, but very good.

Reincarnated into a Game as the Hero's Friend: Running the Kingdom Behind the Scenes [ongoing, 3 vols] Fantasy isekai with the main character reincarnated as a no-name NPC. I really like the friendship between the protagonist and his best friend (the hero of the game), and the art style is nostalgically reminiscent of old JRPG promotional art.

Alpi the Soul Sender [ongoing, 5 vols] Fantasy story following a girl who puts her life at risk to put dead spirits to rest. A very piercing story, showing a harsh but beautiful world.
