Hi! So I've been following this blog for a while and though I usually agree with your takes, I need to explain something about Pepito's admin because as someone who usually watches Roier's POV I feel like there's a bit of a communication issue here haha

So the problem that people had with Pepito's admin is not that there was a change, everyone, including the cc, were aware there was a /need/ for another character as Richas is, well, very alive rn. The problem on Sunday is that the admin who played Pepito had literally no character continuation whatsoever. The day previous to that Roier had just expanded Pepito's room and given him a diamond chest, he let him sleeping in his bed and the stream ended quite in a positive note, so to just wake up the next day to see the kid being all aggressive, dry and resentful (when Roier and his audience have never seen him like that, as the first day we got to meet what we think was Dapper's admin, not the English speaking one), was just weird. IMO no it doesn't make sense for a kid to do a 180º overnight no matter the context. Roier did try to follow a bit of Pepito's rp, explaining lore to him (he was actually interrupted and Pepito called him a motherfucker out of the blue, which left us all kind of like "???" LMAO), but gave up at the end and kind of logged out earlier than expected.

This is not to say that Pepito couldn't be angsty or create a more tragic storyline for his character, of course not! Roier has been an awful father towards him and he deserves vindication. But to go from a sweet, innocent, kind and positive child to a kid who insults his own father, tries to stay away and is in general super emo in just one day, with no explanation, foreshadowing or "detonator" whatsoever was just jarring both for Roier and his audience, that's why people were not prepared nor amused by it. Roier had NO IDEA Pepito was sleeping at spawn (as he saw him log off inside his castle), he was just as shocked as the CCs who found him sleeping there, he doesn't want Pepito to die, if he did he would already be dead lmao.

Also, meta wise, ccRoier is someone who doesn't usually do heavy angsty rp, hes not like Philza, Fit, BBH... He doesn't like that and tries to avoid it as much as possible because he simply doesn't feel comfy with it, that's why he just gave up on interacting with Pepito (or as he called him, Otipep) on Sunday. I mean even Richas' admin was confused and shocked yesterday as Roier was telling him all this haha. Also you might disagree with this, but I don't think the CCs have to adapt to the eggs, but the other way around. The eggs, at the end of the day, are "NPCs" whose presence is not only adding to the lore but as CC'S companions, and if your assigned CC is not comfortable with you/your roleplay, then the issue is on the administration. It is not that Roier and his community hate the administrator, of course not, and I'm disappointed in every single person who has spewed hate towards them, but the great majority just dislike the sudden personality change because the relationship was already going somewhere. Even if they change admins, which very obviously is gonna happen, I feel like they should keep some kind of character continuation just like the other admins have done when playing different NPCs (Chayanne playing Bobby at various times, Tallulah's and Richas' filling in, even Dapper playing other eggs...) because otherwise it's just going to be a shock.

IMO they should choose an admin who mixes well with the CC, rp and meta wise, and overall, an admin who speaks native Spanish because putting an English speaking person (like him putting the sign at spawn in English which just doesn't make sense narrative wise/taking too long to answer Roier and using a very neutral Spanish) to play what is supposed to be a Hispanic kid with only Spanish speaking parents is just 😭😭😭

Not hate at all intended! I just wanted to give my perspective on this discourse haha

I know people assume it was Dapper's admin day one, but it's just an assumption, no? Dapper didn't lag like that, neither did he play on a laptop. He also was pretty emo day one, which is why Etoiles took a liking to him. Saying that Pepito didn't have pronouns because Pepito didn't want to be mentioned (I think that was dropped as soon as Ricardão took over) and that Pepito preferred to walk over 500k blocos than socialize. So it was obvious that Pepito's character was going in a different direction, but if the story about the laptop is true then it is quite likely the admin had technical issues and couldn't log in the following days, which is why Ricardão took over. And Ricardão started playing a different character from the preview admin, which wasn't as bothersome because the previous admin only played for one day while Ricardão played for 4? 5?

The day the other admin took over was QNPC022 which is quite likely Pepito's official admin since I think Em and Sunny are 21 and 23. So Pepito always had a fixed admin, they just had trouble getting on the server. So what I'm complaining about is that people are complaining about the original admin doing the RP they wanted to. It was just shitty luck, but I feel like if someone should be communicating and following what they wanted to do, it should be Ricardão. But since Ricardão did their own thing, which was the RP of a kicked puppy that always comes back to the owner despite that, people got angry that the "new" admin wasn't following that path, and instead wanted to do RP of a child that is not happy in how they're being treated when he was promise love. I understand people wanted to see the path Ricardão lay, but I feel like there's a lack of understanding that the character belongs to someone else and the "new" admin is the one that would be playing him way more and developing even further Pepito than Ricardão. So it must suck to having been robbed of what you wanted to do, and that fandom is constantly being so negative about it saying the admin should change or just straight up "follow a script".

Also the admin wasn't only an English speaker, they were a Spanish speaker too, but since I'm not fluent I can't tell how natural it was. But he seemed to understand Roier just fine, and i didn't think he took long for the signs. Just because he puts an English sign on spawn doesn't necessarily mean that's his first or only language.

Now you say about cc!Roier not liking dark RP, fine. Then it's just worrying that he decided to make light of a serious topic like child abuse. "But it's not that serious, it's a joke" that's the exact problem. I feel like there's a million ways that he could have handled this better if he didn't want to address such a dark topic, but even though most Tripoiers wouldn't give a fuck because I don't think there's nothing that he can do that would make them mad at him, the general audience would just feel unsatisfied? That Pepito was being treated well and being loved just because Pepito listened to everything Roier said and accepted to get beaten up. It doesn't give a nice story in my opinion, but seems like the majority preferred that way.

But honestly, even if I feel bad for Pepito's admin and hope they're fine, I can't bring myself to actually care anymore about this storyline. I don't think it's going in any direction I like, and with the fandom being incredibly annoying about this too I just want to stay far away from it (and also hope the characters I like stay far away too). So you won't see me giving any opinion about Roier or Pepito anymore. I prefer to focus on what I like.

[red-hibiscus]

So I went to a Thai sweets cafe and here are my thoughts

Context: My area has no Thai restaurants and I've only has Thai food twice in my life. So I really know nothing. I asked the staff to give me recs and info. Also our lovely Perth Nakhun has a video on Thai sweets on his YouTube. UMWA edition (bc of course) which covers leum kluen and khanom tom/kho which I ate.

Golden Thread Pandan Cake

Recommended by staff. Golden thread is made out of egg and I was a bit skeptical bc I don't always like egg. But I actually really liked it. The cake tastes like a kind of sponge cake or a pound cake? It doesn't really have a strong taste. Like eating it by itself is kind of plain (not in a bad way), but mixed with the golden thread that has a slightly stronger taste was very nice. Good combo.

Khanom tom

At least I think it's khanom tom. Pretty sure. Could be khanom kho. They're very similar. Staff described them as kinda dumpling balls?

Google says there's a version that's rolled in coconut flakes. Personally I quite liked the warm coconut cream. It was very nice. I was surprised by how warm it was. I think I expected it to be room temp or cooler, but it was very warm like a warm glass of milk.

While I like coconut, I sometimes get tired of the taste depending on how it's done. But I was surprised by how much I liked the cream with the dumplings that had coconut inside. It's a glutinous rice ball (essentially mochi, same concept). So very chewy. Then there's the coconut filling which is nice. The coconut milk adds a bit of extra depth to it I think.

Khanom Chan

(Steamed layered coconut cake)

Chewy coconut jelly. Really liked this one. Possibly my favorite idk. I like jelly and they're very pretty. I'm biased. Not as chewy as the khanom chan, but you know... usual jelly texture. The jelly is pretty thick. Thicker than the little jello containers i usually eat. Which I liked. Portion size is very good bc it does seem like Thai sweets can be on the filling side of things. As opposed to idk... a chocolate bar.

The jelly isn't sweet. On the savory side. I was also told this was best eaten warm, though it could be eaten at room temperature.

Leum Kluen

Forget to swallow

Left is what they're supposed to look like, right is a picture I took on the train home after I ate one. The coconut on top spilled a bit, but it's fine

This was definitely the lightest of the sweets I got. A quick 1-2 bites and it's gone. I think I had 3 or 4. It's a cute little dessert. It's also a bit chewy, but far less so than the others. There's a softer texture. I think it's a bit sweeter? But not by much. I quite liked this one too. Because it's not as heavy it's easier to eat more of them and I can see this being served in larger amounts are parties.

This is also the only dessert I remembered from UMWA that I watched years ago lmao and I get why they wanted it.

Other thoughts and info

I told the staff that I didn't really know anything about Thai food/desserts and that's why I was there. I saw ads for it on IG and decided to stop by (also it was burning outside & I wanted Thai milk tea to revive myself). They just opened & the cafe is only 6 months old, so the person was able to give me recommendations and explanations to the general idea of thai desserts.

Coconut and pandan are very important and that definitely came across. If you want Thai food you must accept the coconut. Luckily I like coconut when served with in/with other foods (though rarely raw by itself). Pandan I've never tried before, but it's not bad.

Thai desserts tend to be very delicate. Gotta make it look good for events and elders they joked. It's also not very sweet. Which is true. I wouldn't call anything I ate sweet, which is probably why I liked them so much. I'm not really a fan of sweet things. But the Thai sweets I had were at a good level where they definitely tasted like a dessert, but didn't overwhelm me with sweetness.

My main knowledge of Thai culture is from media (some rock bands, bl), some acquaintances, and the one time I took a linguistics field research course that happened to be on Thai (was actually one of my fav classes). So I know a bit but it was nice to see more into the cuisine. Especially since I live far from a wider variety of foods in general.

They were a bit different to the sweets I usually eat (if any). So I thought I'd share my thoughts

[fellhellion]

Thanks to you I'm on Team "Gabriel is the cooler O'hara" and I'm sad bcuz the chance of him appearing in the movies is non-existent. Anyway, recently came across someone saying that when Miles went to meet Miguel, he passed through Miguel's "trophy room" and apparently you could see something of Green Goblin there, which implied Miguel killed him or something?? Now I don't remember seeing the trophy room or any trophies, but I'm also terrible at noticing background details, so... here's a penny.

man apologies for how late my response on this is. i am ALSO really bad at noticing background details lmao but i've had another look at the scene.

A couple things though. I feel like calling it a trophy room is like. a pretty generous term for something that's just a cramped, dark hallway filled with what looks to be unfinished tech fksdfjkdsfhk nothing in that room is displayed in such a way that implies Miguel like. wants it to be shown off.

And secondly, I think we have to approach stuff like this with like. knowledge in mind that these tidbits, given their blink and you miss it presentation, most likely exist just as easter eggs (like Miguel's partially built white suit you can see in one of the frames) and we need to consider them within that context. Especially the team has talked about reimagining Miguel to some extent (and thus us not knowing what elements of his various comic runs they want to include as canon to this iteration of him) it's kind of like. not really worth it imo to be drawing conclusions about the character from easter eggs until there's more substantial evidence actually pointing towards that being the case.

THAT ALL SAID. I rewatched the scene and didn't personally spot any green goblin memorabilia? there could be and i just missed it, of course, but even if there is I don't think that at all means Miguel killed his brother??? thats kind of a wild conclusion to draw imo fkdsjhfk

also. long story short. gabri as green goblin was a thing that came about in the 90s run because a whole bunch of the comic's staff got fired and the issue was rapidly approaching cancellation. so it wasn't even in the original plans for the storyline (was instead supposed to be a different character entirely) and actually ended up getting retconned in a later run anyways. so i don't think it's a detail spiderverse would bother resurecting.

so tldr, i don't know what happened to gabriel but i don't think miguel killed him no.

Neon Nostrade ABC NS/FW Headcanons

Okay. I’m gonna do this for our baby girl because well, she has a different set of kinks altogether. 

By the way, I will be referring to KuroNeon and KuroNeon when I’m doing this headcanon. 

Rated R Warning: Lots of vulgar terms. Don't like don't read. Don't go inside a cave and complain it's dark. I will block anyone who complains.

Let’s go for the ABC Headcanons of this brat: 

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

She’s two moods: either really drowsy after a good fuck or talkative. If she’s worn out good, she will be very sleepy and just want to lie on her partner’s chest. 

If she still has energy left, she likes to have a pillow talk with her partner. 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Girlie is proud of her curves and face. She knows she’s cute and she has the curves. She’s not afraid to dress up for her man and drive them absolutely crazy. 

She likes her partner’s biceps and back. She likes to scratch and caress them when they are in a missionary position. 

If she's with Kurapika and knows his Kurta identity, she worships his eyes (kinda fucked up but yes!). She likes how it turns scarlet because of his deep intense lust (and maybe hatred) while they’re having sex. She finds it alluring, like a moth to a flame. For Chrollo, it's his spider tattoo.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

This girl swallows. Nuff’ said. She likes to be milked too. She's submissive and breedable.

She also likes having her partner's fingers stuffed into her mouth after they finger her. A little taste on how wet she is. 

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

She has a bunch of lingerie shoots that doesn’t show her face. She then post it on OnlyFans to gain extra income. Just lingerie pics because she enjoys modelling for it. However, she won't show her pussy or boobs. Those are VIP access only.

She also fucks her new head bodyguard aka Kurapika and had a one time fling with Chrollo. Papa must never know this.

Good girls are just bad girls who haven't been caught.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Not so much. She isn't a virgin per se (really think one of her clients or Chrollo took her virginity), but she also hasn't gotten around much due to her father having people to guard her 24/7. She usually doesn’t take the lead so most of the time she just goes with the flow. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Anything to do with her partner dominating her. Girlie likes to get dicked down hard. So think of missionary, doggy and all sorts of variations that goes deep.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

She is very childish and teasing alright. She's not serious about it. To her, sex is for fun. She wants to enjoy it. She giggles a lot whenever she gets a pleasant reaction from her partner.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Yeah. She goes to those high-end bikini waxing services to get her pussy groomed once ever three months. She may show her lingerie to others but she only shows her lady parts to someone special and she has to make herself look presentable.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Uhhh... she is playful. She usually relies on the non-sexual dating part that her partner does for the romance.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

This girl likes to read smuts or listen to audios to get herself wet. If she really wants to get down on it, she uses a good ol' vibrator to buzz herself. She has to do it in a room though, where no one is around.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

*clears throat* This girl makes the best porn to write LMAO. I can think of a few kinks when it comes to her (and her r/s with Chrollo or Kurapika).

With Kurapika:

Discipline and Bondage: Her bratty attitude pisses off his stern no-bullshit personality. Sometimes she does it on purpose to egg him to punish and fuck her. She secretly enjoys it when he spanks her, be it using his hand or his belt. She realises that he might be into bondage based on the chains on his hand so she suggested tying her up. They used ropes, clothes, handcuffs and of course (actual, not his Nen) chains. He sometimes chains her up Shibari style and likes to see her pussy drool over the chains. This starts whenever she acts up, throws a tantrum and Kurapika has to deal with her bs. It's not easy disciplining this naughty brat but he likes the challenge until she's an obedient brat begging to be his cumslut. When she's being a good girl, he'll reward her with a good fucking and another present (e.g. jewellery or handbag or whatever she wants).

Degrading and Humiliation: This comes with the disciplining part. Whenever he disciplines her, it comes with degrading her. Neon loves to be called all sorts of degrading terms: slut, whore, brat. He's usually very uptight so it turns her on when he gets vulgar during sex. It gets even more intense when it's hate-fucking. He's supposed to dislike flesh collectors but here he is enjoying the flesh of a pretty collector, and so they engage in hate-sex filled with degrading her and Neon loves every filthy second of it.

Breeding: Yes, I know I said Kurapika ain't gonna want kids, based on my analysis of him and it makes sense. Only after he accidentally knocks her up, then he'll realise "hey, this ain't bad". So when Kurapika realises that perhaps repopulating the clan isn't that bad, Neon is more than happy to produce kids with him and be the freakin Kurta baby factory. The whole baby-making process is fun, they will make sure they won't waste a single cum drop. Neon also loves to address Kurapika as "Daddy" because she knows it makes him feel powerful and it represents fathering her children. Sorry Light Nostrade, Neon has another daddy now.

With Chrollo:

DD/LG: Their age gap and height difference screams sugar dating. He loves to indulge in her materialism and spoils her like a brat she is (he just steals those items and gives it to her). Chrollo is one freaky mf who calls her princess, kitten, baby girl and all sorts of really cute nicknames. Chrollo isn't like Kurapika who would degrade her. He likes to praise his little sex bunny because positive reinforcement works. He wants her to dress up in all those frizzy lingerie costumes and roleplay in DD/LG.

Toys: [See the T for Toys for this one]

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

One word: power. 

That is in the form of money and dominance in her partner. She loves it when they give her what she wants materially, be it that nice taxidermy butterfly necklace or that designer brand clothes and accessories. She doesn't care how you get it, but if you give it to her, she's sure to reward you.

Another thing that for sure turns them on is being dominated. Be it with Kurapika, Chrollo or anyone else, Neon loves to be dominated and fucked. Hold her by the neck. Let her know who is in charge. Make her beg to be fucked. A little possessive dirty talk will get her wet. Anything to do with establishing ownership of her.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Neon likes having sex in the bedroom or in the guy's office. She likes to disturb her partner while he's working so they end up doing it in the office. Or some luxurious hotel. A bathtub will be good too.

There's a very specific location I want to write her having sex with Kurapika. A location so messed up yet so angsty but I will keep quiet about it for now. You would need to be one creative sicko like me to guess this one. Heh. 😶😶

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

A big no is her being 100% dom. Neon is kinda lazy in that aspect. She doesn't like to do all the work and wants the pleasure/pain handed to her. At most, she'll ride the guy while she's on top but she's going to be a real tease about it, hoping that they would get impatient and flip her over. When they do, she'll be more excited because that's what baby girl wants.

Stuff like pee or anything to do with that is something that she'll never do.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

She likes to have her pussy eaten out of course. And how they make her come through oral sex. However, she prefers to give SLIGHTLY more. Just slightly. She likes to get her hair grabbed and face-fucked. Sometimes she engages in cock worship.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Usually, she says things like "fuck me harder", "don't stop" etc. to encourage getting fucked at a faster and rougher pace. Especially when they hit her G-spot. That sends her crazy. She does appreciate the slow and sensual but only at the beginning or near the end. Depending on the context of the sex session.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Yeah. She likes quickies. This has something to do with disturbing and teasing her partner while he's at work. Yes, I'm talking about Kurapika. So a little quickie just for him to relax and catch a break is Neon's favour for him for working so hard.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Yes. She's game on taking risks. She's actually the one who will initiate and explore with kinks she finds on the net. Heck, she once proposed getting fucked against the window and in the balcony, risking the fact that someone might see them (Papa absolutely must never know what his daughter has been doing). The fear and thrill of getting caught arouses her.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

I think at most two rounds. The sex can be really intense and this girl lacks stamina. She didn't go through formal Nen training (remember that she got hers without training), and her partners are Nen users and physically fit so they wear her out.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

She owns them alright. She uses a vibe to pleasure herself. It comes in handy when she gets horny during ovulation and there's no one to dick her down.

As for using them with a partner, she uses a lot of toys with Chrollo. Whether it's the anal beads when Chrollo wants to get her ass fucked while he rams the front or making her wear vibrating panties in public, she's sure down for it. She also will wear a tail butt plug to complement her kitty outfit that Chrollo instructed her to wear. She'd gladly follow whatever freaky fantasy he wants.

With Kurapika, they don't use toys except for bondage items. If Neon were to sleep with a woman, she'll prefer to get fucked with a strap on.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Neon is the queen of teases. Especially if her lover seems uptight. (Yes, Pika boy, that's you).

She'll randomly sends him nudes while he's working. She'll touch his lap/balls lightly when they're eating side by side. She'll say stuff that sounds suggestive in inappropriate timings. She'll wink. She'll roll her tongue while eating and making eye contact. Just to initiate sex.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Neon has a high-pitched voice. She's very vocal during sex. She can't help it. Honestly, she sounds like those girls in hentai porn but more genuine lmaoo. She'll moan, squeal, whine, squeak and pant with the occasional "yes", "fuck me", "harder" and all the short needy dirty talk to push them to do her rougher.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

She likes to shop for her outfits. It excites her thinking what type of kinky outfit she should buy to make her partner horny. Be it another lacy lingerie, bunny outfit, kitty outfit, she'll be sure to look delectable in her man's eyes.

She looks REAL good in pink or white. Most of her outfits are in that colour. 💖💖

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Neon has a B cup. She doesn't have those giant breasticles like Pakunoda or Shizuku. But that's understandable. I once estimated her height based on Chrollo's height and the manga panel where her head is at his shoulder. She's about 150cm, maybe even shorter. She's a petite girl. She has curves in proportion (she's not a loli, she's just small in height). But that's her charm. She's cute. Easily carried to be fucked.

Side note: The height difference between her and Kurapika (171cm)/Chrollo (177cm) is so good in this aspect (if you guys know what I mean) hehehe kekekek.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Hmm... I think Neon is mid. She does likes sex but she isn't a sex addict. She gets in the mood easily, especially when she's horny during ovulation. She won't be in the mood when she's angry or upset at not getting what she wants.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

She's exhausted after it happens. Definitely be sleeping like a baby. She'll lay on her partner's chest and doze off comfortably. If she still has the energy, she'll demand for round two or just pillow talk. Chatter her way until she falls asleep.

To end it off, I would like to give you guys some links to fanart where Neon is being hot, art by @anotherworldash :

(I am czech if anyone doesn't know)

1. hmmm... that's hard... I think Holašovice, which is a super cute little village not far from where I live and it makes me feel like a 16th century peasant girl. or Hluboká nad Vltavou which is a town and a castle also very near where I live and it's regarded as one of the prettiest castles in the world

2. def abroad

3. nope (the government was actually renting a port in hamburg up until 2012 I think and that technically meant sea but thats all)

4. "buchtičky se šodó" (sweet buns with beige "sauce", idk what it's actually made of) or "ovocné knedlíky" (sweet usually potato dumplings filled with fruit/marmelade - literally" fruit dumplings")

5. I have to be sarcastic and say "Trezor" from Karel Gott cause they are all lukewarm at best

6. idk I don't hate any but as I said most of them are bad - if I had to pick one it would be "Céčka" by Michal David who a singer everyone loves to hate

7. shit this is hard - "řeřicha" (just cause it's fun to see foreigners try to pronounce it lmao - it's garden cress in english), "moře" (sea) and "noc" (night) (also "nejneobhospodařovávatelnějšími" and "nejnedevětadevadesátinásobovatelnějšími" which should be the longest words in czech - they mean "(using) the most unmanageble" and "(using) the most un-multiplyable by ninety nine" lmao, czech is complicated af) - if u expected something deep, I am sorry

8. hahahahaha yeah - polish, russian, czechoslovakian (literally foreigners "mansplain" to me the history, name and geography of my own country), german, "slavic", "european" and occasionally people swap the name for chechen

9. I have visited all four and loved them (at least aesthetically, looking at u, poland) but I know slovakia best since... we were one country 30 years ago so we are VERY similar (to the point where we understand each others languages without learning them - they are not the same but similar enough - I can even speak fluent slovakian without ever having to learn it)

10. lmao there are to many but I will pick "doprdele" as I say it all the time (translated literally it means "into an ass" and we use it basically the same as just "fuck")

11. Božena Němcová - she's on our 500 koruna (our currency) bill and I KNOW she was bi (she literally wrote about two childhood best friends kissing each others legs and promising to each other not to marry men and stay together) she was also a socialist and a feminist so we stan

12. ...it doesn't exist as far as I know

13. hah yeah :) we have a really misogynistic easter tradition of a group of men spanking women from their village/town with wooden sticks called "pomlázky" and then getting collored eggs for it :) sometimes they even spill freezing water on the poor woman :) and it is supposed to keep the women young and "fresh" :) isn't that great? :)

14. we have realy nice fairy tales! apart from that... the one movie I really liked because of it's plot that is actually genius had to include not one not two but three f-slurs in it... so yeah, that's that... but the fairy tales are great!!

15. I will go with "chčije a chčije" which is actually a quote from a movie and it translated literally means "it pees and pees" but it's like the swear word for peeing and it actually means that it's raining heavy and for a long time

16. I agree with probably all of them - the best are that we love our beer (which is true, most people even hold strong hatred for any beer that's not czech) and that we wear socks in sandals which is even more true lmao

17. yep but not as much as I am force to in our history lessons - or well up to the "husit wars" in the 15th century it's not fun than it gets fun (yes I just said that it gets fun with the start of the german "occupation", sorry not sorry, but everything before that is booooring)

18. YES I can speak with any dialect u like as we have like seven but my native south-west czech is the best because we have easier grammar in some aspects and also the word "pikadór" which means hotdog and the only person that has been able to tell me how it was created was my spanish teacher. I will not elaborate on that

19. it's cool (actually the original czech flag is the same as polish but when czechoslovakia was created we added a blue triangle symbolising slovakia and we kept it even after separating, so we technically still have the czechoslovakian flag) but our anthem is horrible and someone needs to change it asap

20. (european) football and ice hockey closely followed by tennis and biathlon as those are the sports we are good at at an international level

21. a big fat bottle budweiser budvar (beer) and... probably all the "pomlázky" so we have to do something else for easter and... not beat women

22. the fact that czech is the most complicated slavic language AND the most completed indo-european language spoken in europe, the letter Ř as no one can pronounce it and it's unique to our language, the architecture is amazing and everything else makes me ashamed (for ex. always ranking among the most racist countries in europe)

23. we all know the answer to this one don't we? (it's beer)

24. we don't have a lot of jokes about other nations but there are some about poles and slovaks BUT in the 18th century the most popular genre was literally "dunking on germans" and books from that time are one of the most hillarious things I have read

25. ha! yep! it's fine here but I would like to live somewhere where I have my civil rights and where I don't have to tell everyone that saying slurs is bad (and get ignored...)

26. nope. I have seen just a few and we are usually sidekicks to the russian gangsters so like yeah... but therese from carol has a father from czechoslovakia (I have read the book, it's in there) so I take that as an apology

27. this is also sarcastic because our celebrities usually suck - Jiří Kájínek - a literal murdered that has escaped from prison two times and than got amnesty, wrote a book and made millions (not kidding)

28. we have a lot of ponds, especially in the south, we have some "mountains" but the tallest is about 1600 meters tall so... more like sharp hills and I don't have favorites but I know the Šumava mountains best and they are really cool

29. no but everyone here is pissed that there still is no highway leading to austria as it should had been done in like 2008 but that's all there is (the only ones with beef are people from prague, the capital, and people from morava, which is a region in the mainly south-east)

30. if we go far enough in history than yes, but they all lived in the 18th century... I have german and probably a bit of polish ancestry as well as czech, but everyone I have ever got to know was czech "jako poleno" (as a log translated literally, it means basically a lot/big)
