“hurt people hurt people” well now that the croatians done hurting i’m not that mad at them anymore. i even felt sad for modric. it’s not his fault that i don’t like his team because they try so hard to always win on penalties (which is not actual football).

i like croatia again. we’re good. revenge is not a useless emotion (feeling?). it’s cathartic.

Downloaded a ton of duolingo clones but I can't pick something to focus on

Want to know an Afroasiatic language for AA reasons. Want to know Arabic because it's fascinating and language-y. Want to know Egyptian Arabic because ancient Egypt obsession/feeling that I don't respect modern Egyptians enough. Cool music like Ramy Essam

Greek is to fill what feels like a knowledge gap as an English speaker interested in diachronics and PIE. As someone interested in antiquity with some Latin training and an interest in the early history of Christianity. As an Egypt obessesive it would inform Coptic. But also I like Balkan music as a synchronic thing.

Japanese is because I'm a weeb and hang out with Japanese speaking weebs and I'd like to be able to talk about the language with them in more than a Linguistics :tm: way (can only explain topic and focus marking so many times before I run out of tricks). Lots of music, games, animation. Been trying to move from twitter but many artists I like are also Japanese speaking and it might be nice to one day commission someone in JP.

Decided to fan-translate this panel to my native language, Croatian. I was bored, ok?

I don't plan on fan-translating the whole manga, FYI. I did this for fun ONLY

Sauce: Heaven's Design Team, chapter 14

[ask-republicofcroatia]

((I found an old re/design sketch and now we are gonna have another episode of Mika Is Bad At Decisions So Help Her. 

Okay so first Hungary cuz I have more to say about him. I was thinking of giving him asian style eyes and before you call me a weeb because of it I was reading about the history and the hun attacks and how they had a kingdom there for a while so I was like “...interesting”. I think it would be good character wise for him to really otherize him as I talk a lot about doing this to my Balkan ocs but I think they are still not that different from the rest of Europe or at least the rest of the slavs and Hungary doesn’t even have a family language thing (unless you count Finland but I don’t think they are actually related) and it could explain why Tamara (Croatia) has almond eyes (they are pretty uncommon here once again). Oh and he will look more different from the canon Hungary genetically its more likely that he will have dark brown eyes than green ones. Anyway help me...but like really help me and tell me if you think this is bad or not

And now Serbia ah idk I just thought he would look nice with a sleeve tattoo it doesn’t have much of a historic base. The things on his arm are symbols of Serbia like the wolf, plum flower, wings of an eagle, serbian pattern, crown and orthodox/serbian cross

Anyway yes opinions are greatly appreciated

Thank you lovely @scarlet-rainy-dreams for tagging me in this questionnaire. It’s so interesting, it was quite hard, but such a challenge and a nice time to think lots of stuff. 

The Proust Questionnaire has its origins in a parlor game popularized (though not devised) by Marcel Proust, the French essayist and novelist, who believed that, in answering these questions, an individual reveals his or her true nature.

1. What is your idea of perfect happiness?

My idea of perfect happiness would be...being at peace with myself and my surroundings. Enjoying the pleasant things of life...

2. What is your greatest fear?

Myself, my bad side. My anxiety that pushes to all the bad in my life...

3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

And here it goes again. My anxiety issues. When I’m in painful stress, it’s like I can become someone entirely different, that can turn normal situations or daily life into pain and bad coping mechanisms, makes up sympthoms, believes in things I would never believe in my senses, let’s say. I know that I can come up to a certain point, but the hard thing is to stop it some times, and I just can’t bear myself like that.

4. What is the trait you most deplore in others?

I don’t like when people self loathes a lot and victimize themselves for believing they’re a piece of crap when they aren’t and they are humans, and all humans have their problems, and can also make their solutions. Often people that act like victims of life live off of the others,like toxic parasytes ruining the environment. I don’t like at all when people use victimism to take advantage on their lies,for example. Well, I can say I do not like ‘psychopatic’ behaviours.

5. Which living person do you most admire?

I would say my boyfriend, but he’s a human. Humans have defects, every human has things that one won’t like to copy or idolize. Well, he made me see my potential, he made me grow as an individual, he helped me to grow and focus on empathy, if that’s understandable. I love people that can give a little bit that goes a long way to help you to make a better you. Let’s say I could admire that people.

6. What is your greatest extravagance?

I think yeah, my love of japanese culture, and my passion onto let all people be...I don’t know if that’s also understandable,lol.

7. What is your current state of mind?

All I can think of is “ I need to have another ‘point of focus’ onto my stress”, like now it’s all centered in my back and neck and jaw. Lol. Also,needing to COPE with stress smoothly in order of a better quality of life. More than that, I just want time to pass to see if I can really make into the things I planned for this year. I always say “If it’s not prolly going to work out, I’ll surely keep hanging on the way so things will”.

8. What do you consider the most overrated virtue?

Being “social, extroverted,talkative”. 

9. On what occasion do you lie?

I don’t always lie, because I’m ...the most terrible person at that, and most likely will feel TOO guilty. But..as humans, like we are, we had said our white lies. I lie if I have to give a surprise to someone. I CAN’T WITH SURPRISES I ALWAYS RUIN THEM. But if I really need to keep it, I will..say I did sth else. And I also lie to go alone. Like, being with friends and saying “ Oh, I need to go to some place to take sth, I won’t join you/I’m going to the doctor so I’m leaving earlier” So I leave alone and travel completely alone, with no one going with me. Ah yeah. I isolate myself very often. Sometimes it’s a need, but it’s not like I’m overwhelmed with people. It’s a trait I also despise of myself,but something I need.

10. What do you most dislike about your appearance?

Maybe the shape I have in my torso. like, not having like a “feminine” figure,and not exercising makes it look weird... I don’t really have too many problems with myself on the outside. 

11. Which living person do you most despise?  

I despise no one. But I don’t quite like some people, because of what they are. 

12. What is the quality you most like in a man?

I love when a man is sensitive, is very sure of himself and what he likes and hates, when he can channel his beauty inside and outside, the wit and intelligence, AND A BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND EYES WHERE I CAN SEE THE ENDLESS HUMBLY AND HARMONY IN HIS SOUL sorry

13. What is the quality you most like in a woman?

Ehh well I like intelligence in a woman,also assertiveness. 

14. Which words or phrases do you most overuse?

“I love that” “I don’t like it when” “Thank you”

15. What or who is the greatest love of your life?

This is cheesy,but I’ll just read my heart, Istvan. I will never thank anyone so much. Despite everything, whatever the result is. I will always be thankful for lots of things. That leads me to, I also want to be the love of my life.

16. When and where were you happiest?

The first time I looked into Istvan’s eyes when I met him personally in an airport, dressing with a celebration outfit at midnight. I was shaking nervously, and when I laid eyes on him, it was like magic and time actually stopped. I felt in such a peace of mind state that led myself on, almost like floating of how calm I was, suddenly. There were no worries or expectations anymore, they were unexistent. I also recall when I looked at snowflakes when I was at his house. And when I was at sea floating, I said “I want to take a picture of this moment”. All the happiest moments take me to “love".  I also want to point that I feel so cheesy and embarrassed when talking about my love, or love in public. Ah. haha

17. Which talent would you most like to have?

I’d love to be very talented from the start with my favorite musical instruments. And maybe with creating clothes, like taking my creativity into clothing items but I can’t even simply sew. It’s like a math problem to me. Ah, I wouldn’t like to be talented on math or those things, because I don’t like them.

18. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I changed lots of things I hated about myself these years. So I would like not to be anxious at all,or easily stressed,also being more ‘laid back’ in some decisions I could take,because life is about plans; but life is also about not following some of the plans. 

19. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

I feel more at ease with myself. I feel like I can really get to love myself in the future, in a 100%. I love so much some of my qualities, my traits that is unbelievable how proud I am of being what I am. This is what I call a great achievement.

20. If you were to die and come back as a person or a thing, what would it be?

A grim reaper. Maybe this isn’t my fourth life, maybe I sinned a lot, maybe I sinned in the next one, because I’m not gonna be a grim reaper with this life I have now. LOL *Evidently watched Goblin, carried away with it* Uso,uso. Nothing. I don’t have an idea.

21. Where would you most like to live?

Now I am very prepared for city life, with glimpses of nature. Would not like to live in the very center of a city because of the noise and the stuff...I also need the green in my life, the branches, the breeze. But I don’t like being far from a city.

22. What is your most treasured possession?

*I’ll figure out my room suddenly goes on fire* My headphones, the few meaningful band merch I have, A little Cortana doll my bf gave to me,along with a dragon statue,whew they’re meaningful.A necklace I always have on.

23. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?

Yeah, like Oli said, losing the will to live, despising yourself and others that much you’d do that.

24. What is your favorite occupation?

Doing something that awakes and stimulates my interest, which is very deep and passionate.

25. What is your most marked characteristic?

I am assertive. I am loyal. And the best for last, I am VERY determined/strong willed. I’m just marking what people says they admire of me.

26. What do you most value in your friends?

Being people who I can actually be at peace and silence when it’s necessary and not so necessary. People who act quickly and really wants to be around you. 

27. Who are your favorite writers?

Maybe I liked a lot of things Gabo García Márquez and Julio Cortázar wrote. But I like too many different styles, and I won’t mention more/or a real fav.

28. Who is your hero of fiction?

I don’t know, man. But heroes for me are strongly determined passionate and fight-for-their-dreams people. 

29. Which historical figure do you most identify with?

Nah, I don’t identify with anyone.

30. Who are your heroes in real life?

Oh, I already said that, don’t wanna repeat myself that much! 

31. What are your favorite names?

Ah! I love names! I like names with E and I ,they’re my favorite thing (why? IDK they sound so beautiful to me) like Ilonka, Imogen, Iris,Eren,Emre, Irine, Istvan (YEAH one of the reasons I came up with him was his beautiful name calling my attention) and if we’re calling a nationality I like hungarian names, russian/balkan/turkic names aka FANTASY SOUNDING BEAUTIFUL NAMES the most. I also like some japanese ones, but I’m turning off the weeb in this topic.

But to summarize it, I basically like unisex names, or female names that sound like male, and male names sounding like female. Names are beautiful, there’s something more than about this anyway. 

32. What is it that you most dislike?

Being a bait for something, being lied to

33. What is your greatest regret?

Not doing too much for my posture.

34. How would you like to die?

I don’t even wanna think about that. But what I wouldn’t like is making people I love suffer for me, feeling a useless burden. I’d rather die.

35. What is your motto?

"any dream stops being one if you believe in yourself, fight enough and just go for it all the way”
