Remus calls Snape 'Severus' during the whole third Book while Snape says Lupin all the time. We know that Snape and Remus have never been the best friends and that (at least) Remus friends used to call Snape 'Snivelus' back in school. Of course Remus couldn't use that name,'cause Snape could just tell everyone that he is a werewolf and also it wouldn't be the best manners infront of students. But using the first name is okay, many teachers are on first name base but at the same time Snape would hate it just a little bit everytime but he couldn't say anything about it. After all Remus is still a marauder

I'm late to the party... But the English translator seemingly also gave up at this point 😂
Husband...? Husband?! I mean, you could have chose partner or spouse. And we all know shinya is flirting. But HUSBAND?!?!

the best part of bbc ghosts is that it's not just silly crazy zany ghosts and StraightFaced People having to put up with them like. the ghosts all sometimes hate each other too and alison and mike are just as bonkers as them sometimes. you must understand that in a muppet version of bbc ghosts like. humphrey's head would be the real person if anything. none of them are free from tomfoolery.

Oh wow I think I suddenly got my book-reading groove back! I just read 100 pages of a book in one sitting, I haven’t been able to do that in ages! :D

finished the new walter moers book last night, and i loved it. it is not flawless - some of it feels a bit too familiar within the series - and he may perhaps never again reach the heights of Rumo, City of Dreaming Books, and whatever Der Schrecksenmeister is called in English, but it feels like a return to form. it's less about plot and more about dabbling in the sending up of northern german island culture/tourism, but more focused, more engaging, more Zamonien than, say, whatever Prinzessin Insomnia und der albtraumfarbene Nachtmahr is called in English, or the two thinner volumes of Zamonia novels that felt more like writing exercises than actual writing.

Okay, I finally started the book I bought. Well. It is obvious that it was written in the first half of the 20th century 🥴 (if you know what I mean)

— Emperor Charles VI's diary entry on Count Althann's death
[text: "My only heart, my comfort, my most faithful servant, my soulmate, who loved me dearly as I did him for 19 years, [we] had a true friendship, we were one heart and one soul, and we never concealed anything from one another. He will always be in my heart, [my] beloved friend..I. have lost everything."]
#this is like. incredibly niche.#but also hopefully a quote one can look at without context and still feel emotional damage about#idk. i think about this quote probably at least once a week and then have to stare at it and cry a bit#its just GOD. yknow??????#theres this one paper(which i linked) that i originally read as research for the AU#but i go back to it probably twice a month to reread it bcs im so !!!! abt it#i think its cause charles vi is just not that relevant but is relevant to me so to have this paper abt his personal relationships is very !#its both nice as ref for the au but also very interesting to hear about historical queer relationships/dynamics#the sections about him and his wife are very endearing as well#but god like him and count althann. im literally so invested in this 300 year old relationship#this is obviously from his death which is incredibly depressing and heart wrenching to me#but the other things he wrote about althann in his diary are very sweet to me#they were inseparable to the point of often sleeping in the same bed and charles called him his 'eternal love'#AND ON ALTHANN'S DE WIKIPEDIA PAGE IT LITERALLY CALLS HIM THE EMPEROR'S FAVORITE#anyways literally every part of this quote absolutely destroys me but especially how he refers to althann and then the ending#and its interesting to me bcs apparently his diary entries were usually pretty to the point#but when various people in his as althann died he would write these extremely emotional entries that are so </3#if you have any questions abt their dynamic pls i will talk abt them 🥰🥰 i find it fascinating#theres a book about his diary but its in german and 500 pages and kinda hard to get hold in but maybe one day!!!#also in AU contexts: althann and charles vi would be mark and seb so take that as you will 🤭😭#as i said this is great for ref but also made me sooooo fucking invested in him#i have no idea how to tag this#historical#holy roman empire#emperor charles vi#catie.rambling.txt#historical quotes#habsburg#habsburg monarchy#ah wow if only my german prof could see me now. fucking...habsburg posting. why am i like this

Goethe is the og fanfic author
like, he just straight up wrote rpf about that one girl he had a crush on and then killed his self-insert oc and now we teach it in schools as a masterpiece of literature
and then he also wrote Faust which ALSO is fanfic and now widely considered a masterpiece (in germany)

somehow it feels like every Goth in Germany owns or has read a copy of 'Krabat'.

One of my plans of this year is to read more, so I decided to start this little series where I post a picture of the new book(s) I read each month.
People probably won’t be interested in seeing this all too much, but I still hope it will motivate me to show you my progress, even if it probably won’t be much.
Despite what one might believe, working at the library wasn’t exactly beneficial for my motivation to read in the last three years.
But since I’m through with the apprenticeship and have at least a tiny bit more free time, I hope to make a change this year and pick up one of my oldest and dearest hobbies again.
This month was month of finishing books I started in November/December 2023 that I didn’t have the time to finish. They were all really nice reads.
P.S: I won’t write book reviews or anything, but if there’s ever a title/cover catching your interest I can tell you more about the book!
P.P.S: Expect a lot of German books and books lend from the library in this series, haha.

one critical thing has to be said about at least the german version of Krabat.
I understand that certain vocabulary was more common during the time Preußler wrote Krabat. But there is no need to keep the racist M-word which is a german variant for the N-word or the antiziganistic Z-word to describe Sinti and Roma in it.
And that is solely on the publisher who cannot be bothered to at least include a footnote, commenting on the hurtfulness of discriminatory speech.

I love that one of the reviews of Maurice on Goodreads states that it is one of E.M.Forster's less-known novels as if tumbrl hasn't been in love with Hugh Grant and the movies aesthetic since the beginning of this app
