#Bielefeld

[knuppitalism-with-ue]

Another traditional piece from me. This one was done for the publication of Cyclotosaurus buecherni, one of the smaller species of this genus (roughly 1,2 m long). It's known from a complete skull.

So, one day on Tumblr I run into someone who apparently is the same age as me, grew up in the same city as me, is also not cis and presto, we're mutuals.

A good year or so later (today) I have another gender identity crisis and we chat about the names trans people pick for themselves, having a bit of a giggle over names that are seemingly ubiquitous, and she tells me her first names.

I stop.

Her second name shortened is exactly my first chosen name. In full, it's *almost* exactly the name I'm trying out now.

She says it must be the city that makes people like us. It must be...

...the true Bielefeld conspiracy.

Bielefeld? More like Not-Realefeld

[haveyoubeentothiscity]

Population: 334,002

Urban population: 591,862

A couple people submitted this city. We’ll consider these results to be suspect, given that this city doesn’t exist.

Kind: He, können wir Bielefeld haben? Mutter: Nein, das gibt es nicht. Und außerdem haben wir Bielefeld Zuhause. Bielefeld Zuhause:

fun fact that I don’t think I’ve seen going around yet: some of the first test screenings of Goncharov were actually held in Bielefeld Germany in mid-1972.

I hope the writers know that calling someone Bielefeld is extremely funny

Hast du schon mal den Bahnhof Bielefeld bewertet?

Nein, tatsächlich nicht. Und dabei parkt da aktuell eines meiner Fahrräder.

Bielefeld hbf ist ein bisschen underwhelming. Im Bahnhofsgebäude sind kaum mehr Geschäfte als im wesentlich winzigeren, idk, Rheine. Immerhin kommt man von dort nach halb NRW per Direkt-RB-Verbindung.
