“A tutti gli illusi, a quelli che parlano al vento.

Ai pazzi per amore, ai visionari,

a coloro che darebbero la vita per realizzare un sogno.

Ai reietti, ai respinti, agli esclusi. Ai folli veri o presunti.

Agli uomini di cuore,

a coloro che si ostinano a credere nel sentimento puro.

A tutti quelli che ancora si commuovono.

Un omaggio ai grandi slanci, alle idee e ai sogni.

A chi non si arrende mai, a chi viene deriso e giudicato.

Ai poeti del quotidiano.

Ai “vincibili” dunque, e anche

agli sconfitti che sono pronti a risorgere e a combattere di nuovo.

Agli eroi dimenticati e ai vagabondi.

A chi dopo aver combattuto e perso per i propri ideali,

ancora si sente invincibile.

A chi non ha paura di dire quello che pensa.

A chi ha fatto il giro del mondo e a chi un giorno lo farà.

A chi non vuol distinguere tra realtà e finzione.

A tutti i cavalieri erranti.

In qualche modo, forse è giusto e ci sta bene…

a tutti i teatranti.”

(Miguel de Ivan Cervantes, “Don Chisciotte”)

Ok I want to hear who your favorite supporting couples are (non Listener-involved couples). I'm going to include the exes of certain characters too. Note, favorite doesn't have to mean the healthiest or most romantic. Just the most entertaining. I'm only including any couple or ex-couple who's relationship depicted on screen at all, so no Ivan x Michelle, Crow x Acid Rain, or Jäger x Molly.

Including Thad x Duke even though their relationship hasn't been on screen (they'll be depicted as a couple in flashbacks eventually) but like they definitely still flirt on screen.

Nations having human names is kinda odd when you think about it. You’d expect their people to just call them by their official names or else “motherland” or “fatherland.” So, here’s me coming in with a headcanon about where these human names come from (´∀｀)

A nation’s legal name, the one used on treaties and trade deals, can change over time. Or be different depending on who’s speaking. Germany is Deutschland to some his friends, Japan is Nihon at home, exonyms vs. endonyms, kingdoms become republics, yadda, yadda. But a nation’s human name - their gifted name - is forever. I call it “gifted” because it’s given to them not by the politics of the world, but by one of their citizens. One of their best and brightest. A son or daughter any of them could be proud of. Any human can try giving a nation a name, but if it isn’t the right one it won’t stick.

The first nation to get a human name was China when he met Confucius. They encountered each other on the road one evening waaay back around 467BC when the philosopher was on his way home. They talked, shared tea, and Confucius called China “Yao Wang” for the first time. China couldn’t explain it, but he just knew this was his name. Knew deep in his soul

Greece was second. He marched with Alexander the Great and finished the campaign as Heracles Karpusi. When the other ancient nations heard the news they were all very excited. Except Yao, who was put out that he wasn’t unique anymore lol. Then gifted names were officially “a thing” that nation people eagerly waited for. I imagine their naming days are very fondly remembered along with the human who was there for them. A few examples throughout history:

Russia knelt before Catherine the Great and rose up again as Ivan Braginsky.

Spain was invited to read a first draft of Cervantes’s and left as Antonio Carriedo.

Japan walked with Nobunaga the day before Anegawa and went to bed that night as Kiku Honda.

One of the sole exceptions to the usual way is America, who was named “Alfred” by another nation rather than a human. Arthur named Alfred after one of his favourite kings: Alfred the Great. Alfred chose the “F. Jones” part himself when he became independent. Before that he was Alfred Kirkland. This was a weird blip in nation people history, but they chalk it up to Arthur’s magic. As for Arthur himself, he was named by Merlin. Yes, that Merlin

I haven’t thought of specifics for every nation. A few ideas are Otto von Bismarck for Ludwig, Napoleon for Francis, and maybe one of the Popes for the Italy bros. What do you guys think? What historical figure might have named your nation?

[dedalvs]

I have two questions!

1 - Have you read all ASOIAF books? If yes, which is your favorite?

2 - What are your favorites books and why?

Thanks in advance ☺️❤️

I have! I think the third one was my favorite.

Some of my favorites books are:

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev

Oblomov by Ivan Goncharov

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov

The Manuscript Found in Saragossa by Jan Potocki

The Epic of Gilgamesh

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

True Grit by Charles Portis

The Castle by Franz Kafka

The Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglass by Fredrick Douglass

Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Sundiata by D. T. Niane

Paradise Lost by John Milton

Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

At this point I'm just copying stuff down from a book review site I used to have. I used to read a whooooooooole lot, but I haven't much recently. :( Maybe I'll get back to it some day. My favorite author is Virginia Woolf. There's nothing more enjoyable than reading something by her—anything. When it comes to a put-together book, though, I think To the Lighthouse is her best. The others I've read are a joy to read, but the end, they don't necessarily come together as well as a book, if that makes sense. Now I haven't read them all. I've read To the Lighthouse, Mrs. Dalloway, Jacob's Room, and Orlando. If I were to recommend a second one, it would be Orlando, which is a real adventure to read. But her writing is unlike any other. I adore her work.

Lately I've been rereading some of my favorites aloud to my daughter after school. We read The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers, and we've now gone through four books by Tove Jansson: The Moomins and the Great Flood, Comet in Moominland, Finn Family Moomintroll, and Moominpappa's Memoirs. Next up is Moominsummer Madness before things get dark. lol But she's been enjoying them. I love Tove Jansson. She refused to write anything other than what she felt. (One of the reasons Finn Family Moomintroll was so odd. She felt a million eyes on her for perhaps the first time, and she was nervous. She settled back in after that.) There's also random things in there. In Moominpappa's Memoirs there's a drawing she did that's a send-up of Picasso's Guernica when Edward the Booble saves them at the end. I should put a picture of it, because I'm not sure anyone noticed... At least I can't find anything on the internet (probably searching wrong).

Anyway, that's some stuff.

Literary Canon (from kissgrammar)

The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version [At a minimum, the books of Genesis, Exodus, Job, Psalms, from the Old Testament; Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Apocalypse from the New.] Whether or not you are Christian is irrelevant. The civilization in which we live is based on and permeated by the ideas and values expressed in this book. Understanding our civilization, the world in which we live, is probably impossible without having read -- and thought about -- at least the most famous books in the Bible. Historically, the King James Version is considered the most artistic, and thus has probably had the most literary influence.

This is the Christmas Station ID of TV5 in 2010. The Christmas Station ID was themed “Maligayang Pasko, Kapatid! In the Service of the Filipino”. The Station ID is accompanied with the Christmas version of “Para Sa’yo Kapatid” performed by Jose Mari Chan and Apo Hiking Society featuring Regine Velasquez. But somehow, Ogie Alcasid and Regine Velasquez also performed the original version of the “Para Sa’yo Kapatid” in June 30, 2010.

But somehow, Vin Abrenica, Sophie Albert, Mark Neumann, Shaira Mae Diaz, Akihiro Blanco and Chanel Morales moved to ABS-CBN where they became the Artista Academy students with the others from around the world.

Somehow, This was also the only Christmas Station ID to feature Marky Cielo before his death in November 30, 2012 due to a cardiac arrest. Somehow, Mel Tiangco, Howie Severino, Dominic Roco, Felix Roco, James Reid, Nadine Lustre and twin sisters Anne Curtis and Jasmine Curtis-Smith don’t appear in the Christmas Station ID at this point due to their retirement from TV5. Also Ram Revilla did not appear because he died in December 30, 2009.

The Christmas Station ID theme will be re-used in the 2011 Christmas Station ID from TV5 which is “Magpasaya ng Kapatid” but with minor changes and fireworks at the very end including the 4th wall break from Blue the Puppy, the mascot of TV5. Somehow, The fireworks at the very end will occur in the 2015 Christmas Station ID which is “Happy Ka Dito Ngayon Pasko” which will feature special guests like Rufa Mae Quinto, Julia Montes, Cristine Reyes, Dimples Romana, Alex Gonzaga, Roxanne Guinoo, Angelica Panganiban and Valerie Concepcion waving at the end.

[largedad]

what’s your favorite book

don't have 1!!!! sorry. i'm awful at answering questions of favorites.

this ask has been sitting in my inbox for over a month because i keep trying to think of what criteria qualify one's Favorite Book (a lofty designation!). is it something one returns to repeatedly? something life-altering? something that evokes joy, or if not joy, strong emotion?

i've always been a reader, so i should have a Favorite Book, shouldn't i? anyone who engages in any form of art to such an extent naturally cultivates favorites. i'm obligated! but as noted, i'm awful at picking them; ask me my favorite color or food or film and i may blue screen on the spot.

i'll read anything from the bible to the cheesecake factory menu, but i tend to enjoy classic fiction, works of nonfiction (historical, scientific, technical, political, philosophical, bios/autobios), and fluffy things just for fun. oddly, and i'm kind of ashamed to admit this: i haven't read much 21st century fiction that isn't fanfiction.

some classic works of fiction off the top of my head i've either enjoyed greatly or found pivotal to my growth: austen's pride & prejudice, camus' the stranger, atwood's handmaid's tale, tolstoy's death of ivan ilyich, kafka's metamorphosis, vonnegut's slaughterhouse five, burgess' a clockwork orange, gibran's the prophet, ibsen's a doll's house, miller's death of a salesman, and larsen's passing.

old as shit: the odyssey, oedipus rex, and the canterbury tales.

shakespeare: much ado about nothing, the merchant of venice, king lear, and macbeth.

more modern: my brilliant friend by elena ferrante, kindred by octavia butler, a thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini, story of your life and hell is the absence of god by ted chiang, summer of my german soldier by bette green. a series of unfortunate events was my favorite series as a child.

most recent novel: house of god by samuel shem—a book that helped dissuade me from making a last-ditch effort at a medical career. lol

i just started nietzsche's thus spoke zarathustra but i have a feeling it will make the list. i'm fixing to read cervantes' don quixote start to finish.

nonfiction books i've read in the past few years that were important to me: the black swan by nassim taleb, manufacturing consent by noam chomsky, because internet by gretchen mcculloch, the prince by machiavelli, the conscious closet by elizabeth cline, the measure of our days by jerome groopman, the man who mistook his wife for a hat by oliver sacks, myth of sisyphus by camus, the abolition of man by c.s. lewis, pedagogy of the oppressed by paulo freire, consolation of philosophy by boethius, poetics by aristotle, walden by thoreau, orientalism by edward said, ecclesiastes by solomon (bible) (ostensibly).

most recent autobiographies: i highly enjoyed shock value, john waters' autobio, as well as surely you're joking, mr. feynman!, that of richard feynman, and would recommend both to anyone. also liked just one more thing by peter falk and ghostbuster's daughter by harold ramis' daughter violet, and would recommend them if you enjoy those actors as much as i do.

most recent nonfiction: when the clock broke by john ganz, which i actually just finished yesterday. it's a thorough account of certain conditions that lead to trump's rise to power. strongly recommend.

speaking of which—my to-read list is huge, but i always welcome more!
