Why does Falk Maria look like a wet cat?

FANTASTIC question!

Some people are just born lucky.

[metal-album-of-the-week]

Hey! May I ask questions 12, 19 & 25 from the Spotify Wrapped game? 🙂

Hi :D Thank you for asking !

12: A song you feel should be higher up

Most things are as expected but just in relation to other songs on the albums I'm surprised Flight of the Ravens (Brothers of Metal) and Spider Silk (Nightwish) were not higher up - The Day of.... somehow ranked higher than Spider Silk which Unlike way more and thus should have listened to more often 🤔 But who knows.

19: Is your most streamed song of your favorite artist your favorite of them?

Sort of yes - my favorite (at least from the new album) is currently hovering between 1589 and Sinners of the Seven Seas but my "favorite" song is hard to pinpoint anyway. But I'm not unhappy with it at all it's a banger.

25: Favorite lyric from song #100

That just happens to be one of the few without lyrics but I will post it for when you want to feel mysterious

My #99 has lyrics though and my favorite has to be

"And if you think you're doing well/ Maybe that means you're one of them/ Are you the hunter/ Or the lion?"

Thank you!

How long have you been learning Finnish? :) - A curious person from that nonexisting land, haha

I started learning in 2018, but it's been on and off. I did four semesters of intensive language class at my university and spent half a year on Erasmus in Turku.

I'm ashamed to admit but my Finnish has really not improved for a year or so. I was pretty decent when I was actually in the country, but then I went to Sweden and haven't really studied since then. I can still write some basic stuff and understand a lot of what Finnish Tumblr posts about but if I want to be fluent and actually read books (which was my original goal) I need to study more.

Regardless though, I love Finnish, it's a beautiful language and country <3

hello fellow pir8!

Hello matey!!

[foxyanon]

Cause I'm curious, and nosey, and I love hearing your thoughts.

What is a line you have written that you feel didn’t get the recognition it should have, what fic is it from and why did you like it? - 🦋

It’s actually a line from Part 2 of To Love A Dragon! No one mentioned it and I’m honestly surprised. It’s one of Rhaenerys’ lines and one I think about all the time.

“I do not believe in the kind of divinity spoken by snakes”

I thought this was such an interesting line because while Rhaenerys comes from a family known to have prophetic dreams, she does not believe that Eadred actually had some prophetic vision.

Also, dragons and snakes are serpentine creatures, both of which are considered signs of the devil by the church (it’s well known in those days pagans/polytheists were considered devil worshippers and barbarians). So having Rhaenerys, a dragon lord who follows a polytheistic religion, compare Abbot Eadred to a snake, a long standing symbol of Lucifer/Satan, was her way of both insulting him and calling him out on his own hypocrisy.

Thank you for asking me this!

I'm confused, if Sasha and Milo are brothers then why did they use different last names? Or did I not read that right?

That's a good catch, I wanted to talk about that anyway. So I assume you're referring to the names I tag them with sometimes, Zacharias von Wolfenstedt and Matthis von Halberg. Matthis and Zacharias are probably as close to birth names as you'll get considering phonetic shifts. They're the names they used the longest, primarily during the time in the Army, and still use in more serious or intimate settings. (Sasha still calls Milo "Matti" sometimes, which nobody else is allowed to do, even Attila.)

If you know how last names worked back then, you also know they weren't really fixed, just an easy identifier and could change if the community thought it necessary.

Both their last names are place monikers, pointing to a place of origin and on the surface it does not make sense why that would be different if they're brothers. The thing is, they're not blood-related and even if they were they look so different people wouldn't have believed it.

Both of them used the moniker von Halberg when they joined their first crusade and after they'd been turned. Halberg is a peak in the Saar region of Germany, which is the place Milo usually claimed he comes from (he really doesn't know for sure). Sasha was actually given the name von Wolfenstedt by others. Wolfenstedt translates to "wolf's place" or "lair". After being turned, Sasha very quickly made a name for himself by being a ruthless and effective strategist as well as being a skilled fighter.

People said he was so good at being a werewolf because he was in fact raised by wolves. Which was absolutely a racist jab, but Sasha's approach was always that no tool is too low as long as it was effective. And also that people leave you alone if they're sufficiently scared of you. By the time the army splintered, Zacharias von Wolfenstedt was more of a bogeyman than a real person. In modern day, Sasha and Milo mostly use the same last name, because it makes paperwork easier.

Thank you for the question!

[geek-png]

🏴‍☠️ It's been a hot minute

I'm finally on break and got around to finishing this, two months past when I wanted to, but I like how it turned out. FNaF isn't my biggest interest anymore but with the release of the movie, I wanted to see how much I've improved since 2014 (it's a lot just take my word for it-).

Simon having a cracked phone screen is so fucking funny to me for some reason lmao

Y'know, that's the thing with me. I’m on board with whatever version of Simon people go with

Want him to be a smug bastard? Count me in. Awkward and inexperienced? Love it. A soft-hearted bloke with terrible communication skills? Absolutely.

But there's one thing I won't budge on: Simon's phone is the most neglected object on the planet. It’s practically begging for mercy, but Simon refuses to let it die because what else should he need it for? It still rings for calls, and it pings when he gets a text. Brilliant.

my girly pop 🌟🌟

Mangle requested by @kinopio-reads and @grimophobics

stuff about the design:

Her ears and pretty big and round and since she kind of resembles a dog I thought it'd be fun to make them floppy.

Someone once stuck a lolipop in the back of her left ear and the hair stayed like that.

Her accessories were given by other children/staff except for her pants and gloves to make her 'prettier'.

A kid stapled a christmas present bauble on her right ear. He didn't get it the first time though. Don't ask how he got the stapler the staff doesn't know either. The same kid got the coil spring around her neck.

The mouth inside the chest cavity has been deemed safe around children. Adults please refrain from getting too close. - mngmt.

Song 34?

So I have this quirk that I do not love songs the first time I listen to them. I do like them, but it's usually a bit of a letdown if my expectations are really high. Which is inconvenient. So I was overall underwhelmed by the new Powerwolf album at the time.

Things have changed. I listened to this album - though Wake up the Wicked is still not my fave - a TON while I was in the north fo Germany for my internship. The city is small enough that if I missed the bus or there were just no busses running late at night, I could walk everywhere within 30 minutes usually and this album was my go-to for that.

Imagine listening to this album walking through silent residential areas at night, often while its windy and drizzling, but not enough to be really unpleasant. Rain glistening on cobblestones. Very good :3

Thank you for asking!

[where-does-the-heart-lie]

sorry if this is rude to ask, but have you ever considered adding a ddr bonus level of sorts to ddba? maybe for a side quest ? i cant think of a specific one piece moment that could be adjacent to that .. but i thought itd be fun

Congratulations!!! 🎉🎈🎊 you’ve accidentally hit a topic that i actually have thought about before and have a lot of ideas about! Yeah i thought it would be cute if there was a mini game arcade you can go to in the “town” of the map, and the owner of the arcade would be Foxy and there would be a bunch of warioware type games to play.

And in the back of the arcade would be a DDR machine that would play like Friday night funkin and would be occupied by Apoo 100% of the time unless you beat him either in DDR or in combat but if you fight him in ddr it’s gonna be at the highest level and if you beat him in combat then he’s gonna wanna play with DDR with you afterwards (he gives in a little bit on the difficulty level because he has a broken arm or something of the like after the battle lol)

@badly-drawn-doflamingo helped me come up with those ideas and they also came up with the delightful idea that yorki would be in an ally next to it and would throw a bottle at you as you walk by and challenge you in combat only to immediately pass out from being piss drunk. I just love the idea that he’s the only guy in the whole game who challenges you to a battle like a trainer in pokemon does and he doesnt even last through the Battle! Start! Music before the Congragulations you won! Music starts blaring as yorki is just. Collapses.

Here’s some designs i just made for them

Foxy’s design is based off of wario and he has a game controller tucked into his pants with the buttons being hearts because he loves his games. The wrenches and screwdrivers on his pants also would have hearts on them but ya cant see it from this angle.

Apoo is based off of those early 2000’s designs of “cool nerds” animated tv shows would have. His hears are on his sneakers and his headphones

Yorki is based off of DJ Spit.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

Hast du irgendwelche Tipps für Bücher/Filme o. Ä. für Finnischlernende? Bevorzugt welche, wo man auch als mehr oder weniger Anfänger was versteht?

hi :D

Ich muss gestehen ich hab mein finnisch doch etwas vernachlässigt in letzter Zeit aber mein Nummer 1 Tipp für jede Sprache sind eigentlich Kinderbücher und Comics - was bei uns als Lustiges Taschenbuch verkauft wird gibt es in Finnland quasi identisch und die fand ich immer sehr gut verständlich, auch wenn man natürlich bedenken muss dass da Wortwitz und Slang mit drin ist (Wiktionary ist mein bester Freund). Klassisch wären u.a. auch die Mumins, da sind einige eher knifflige Bücher dabei aber viele kurze Geschichten die ich sehr süß und verständlich fand. Ich habe in Turku in der Bibliothek auch mal eine Comicversion von Coraline gelesen, das war sehr cool.

Meine Herangehensweise waren Bücher über Sachthemen, die ich mag (v.a. Mythologie und lokale Fabelwesen) aber das kann ich nur so semi empfehlen, weil der Wortschatz dann sehr spezifisch wird und der Satzbau oft komplex ist.

Es kann natürlich auch helfen Bücher "über" seinem Level zu lesen, selbst wenn es nur eine Seite ist, zumindest für den Wortschatz. Der Knackpunkt muss immer sein, dass es noch Spaß macht, man kann sich zu nichts zwingen.

Ich wünsche dir ganz viel Erfolg beim lernen :)

For the writer ask:

✍️, 🎬, 💭, 🚦

Have a nice evening 💜

Hello beloved!!

✍️ What’s your ideal writing setup?

Snacks, a couple drinks (both cold and hot because I’m weird like that), and some headphones in. I can get comfy anywhere, but as long as I have that and I’m not being distracted by the baby, I can almost always churn out a few hundred or a thousand words for a fic.

🎬 If a movie or show were based on your fic, which fic would you choose and who would you fancast?

I’d probably pick To Love A Dragon, everyone playing themselves from TLK and I actually have the fan casts for the ASOIAF characters here. The only addition would be for Ser Elwood Graves, and I’d have him be an older Eoin Macken!

Also, totally forgot Merlin had a fucking STACKED cast 😅😅 I forgot Tom Ellis and Joe Dempsie were in the show

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

Random daydreams I have, other peoples work (which they know about) and music.

🚦What sort of endings do you prefer to write: ambiguous, bad, happily ever after, etc.?

Happy endings, no doubt. I deal with enough sorrow on a day to day that I don’t want my fics to have sad or bad endings.
