Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859-1951) - String Quartet No, 2(?), Lento. Allegro ·

Stamicovo kvarteto

[koenji]

Main theme of Tri orísky pro Popelku / Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (1973; Three Wishes For Cinderella), dir. Václav Vorlícek.

Undoubtedly the most famous of the Czechoslovakian / East German fairy tale film cooperations, it is often hailed as a European fairy tale classic and a feminist iteration of the age old story of Cinderella. Though most of the cast were Czech, the film also became a cult classic in the GDR and later reunified Germany.

Libuše Šafránková (1953-2021) plays the part of the abused orphaned stepdaughter who goes on to marry the prince after setting him a riddle.

Karel Svoboda (1938-2007) was a beloved Czech composer who created the famous soundtrack for this film as well as other children's classics.

i remain super excited for fontaine, aka steampunk fantasy france, to drop in genshin at the end of summer (i hope! please don't make me wait longer than that!!), but i've been theorizing for a while that fontaine will be a bit more like sumeru and less like liyue and inazuma in that it's real world inspirations/counterparts will be a little less one to one. sumeru's inspiration, for good or ill, pulls culturally and ecologically from southeast asia all the way across to north africa. that's a HUGE swath! and while most of the jungley area feel more indian and persian and the desert very obviously references egypt with those sci-fi pyramids, it's got a little bit from a lot of other places, too. of course, this isn't the first time fantasy media has kind of homogenized north africa, the middle east, and south asia into one giant thing (*side eyes disney's aladdin*), and there's plenty to be criticized about this approach--but this post isn't about that. i think they might be doing a similar approach with fontaine.

i believe that while the main capital city of the region will likely reflect paris, complete with a magical steampunky version of the eiffel tower, we might see a few other references potentially including more spanish/portugeuse influence on the left side of the map (can i say west if this map doesn't even have a compass rose to tell us north?) and potentially more british and irish influence on the right side as it gets closer to mondstat. mostly, i think this because the loch folk, the seelies, xin yan saying that rock and roll originates in fontaine which sounds more akin to british rock culture, and some of the names of fontaine npcs we've met so far seem to expand beyond just specifically french culture. also, i wouldn't be surprised if they use those cultural inspirations as a way to smooth the transition into the nations on either side, maybe using spanish colonial architecture along the borders to natlan which seems to be based more in mesoamerican civilizations.

in the same vein, i'm wondering if snezhnaya will be doing something similar? instead of just fantasy russia with some italian influence thrown in with the fatui, maybe it'll be a broader swath of eastern and northern europe? i expect it to be mostly cold there, of course, but i wonder if we'll get a snowy venitian-inspired city?

I took some time and translated one of the anecdotes I'd written on here, since people keep putting my german posts through google translate in the notes and it makes my eyes bleed

It's a small story of a situation I got myself into while I was travelling through Prague. It was winter, I was 19, and completely disoriented on my way through eastern Europe. That day I'd made plans to meet some folks for breakfast at a café. But me being me I had somehow managed to type the wrong café into google maps, which sent me marching into the wrong part of town.

I burst into this unassuming little café somewhere in Prague like I was a Roman looking for the last unoccupied village in Galicia, walked through the rows of tables, couldn't find anybody. Opened google maps and promptly realized my mistake.

Unfortunately, by that point I'd caught the eye of the waiter. Some young, skinny guy with a pastel tshirt and a bow tie, looking vaguely like an overwhelmingly gay youtuber straight out of 2016. Good for him honestly.

He came flying in my direction, asking if there was anything he could help me with.

This is the point where I should briefly mention what I looked like at the time, since that somehow manages to make this story so much worse, yet so much better:

For starters I was dressed in a giant winter parka that I had quasi-borrowed from my ex. It was oversized to the point of making me look like the world's saddest emperor penguin. I'd spent the night on a flixbus (because what's new), was sleep deprived to the point of delyrium and wore giant hiking boots. The fact that I also suffer from a condition called "always looking like a 12yr old" certainly wasn't helping. In short, I looked like you could've cast me as Gavroche then and there.

The waiter proceeded, in czech, to ask me- well, something in czech. My czech skills are... lacking, and even that's a euphemism. I replied with all the wit I could muster: "What?? Sorry"

He repeated, now in english: "Hi, can I help you?"

I decided to opt for the one answer that could possibly make me look even more like a lost child.

"No, I'm just looking for my friends!"

Fantastic, stellar job, you babyfaced lunatic. Why not tell him that you'd now like to call your mum to come pick you up now? Jfc.

The waiter had already entered lost-child-emergency mode and actually offered to let me call someone if I needed to. Ah shit. "I can make you some tea!" he added. I got the vague feeling that he was five minutes and one more concerning remark on my part away from calling the authorities on me, so my reply of "ah, no no, I'm perfectly fine!" came out with a wee bit too much panic in my voice.

At that point he asked me what I was doing in Prague to begin with. In his eyes, there was a child standing in his cafe, unable to speak the local language and without his friends. Goddamn you, google maps.

I had travelled to the czech republic for a larp, and I'd rather have perished than explain the concept of larping to a random gay waiter. "Oh, it's very very complicated" I said instead. Holy shit, can you act less like a potential human trafficking victim, I fucking beg you?? Thanks in advance.

By this point the waiter was even more concerned, if possible. I thanked him several times (I must've seemed so composed and relaxed) and promptly booked it back out onto the street. Average Wednesday

REMEMBERING ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK ON THE 120th ANNIVERSARY OF HIS PASSING 🖤

[chiliconsharls]

Chapter 4 of the Modern Royalty AU is up:

“As for Prince Charles, sire, his Serene Highness has been invited to the ‘Symphony of Shadows’ ceremony by the minister of culture of Czech Republic alongside representatives of the Philharmonic,” she says and Lorenzo makes a funny impressed face at him across the table and Charles tilts his head, smug. “The event draws royalty, dignitaries, and music enthusiasts from around the world to enjoy a variety of performances— this year, however, they’re celebrating renowed composer Hans Zimmer.”

“And will certain Spanish royal be joining you in this endeavor?” he inquires, his grin a little too wide for Charles’ liking.

[pressplay-if]

To add to my last ask about Slavic last names discourse. Antonin Dvořak, a czech composer, had several kids, f.e. his son Otakar Dvořak and his daughter Magdalena Dvořakova, so you're right in your naming of Zima.

thanks again <3 posting this too bc some ppl may not know who Antonin Dvorak is
