#can’t be doing with tonio kröger right now

[yeah-thats-probably-it]

»Man steht vor einem Rätsel, Jeeves.«

»Geradezu vor einem Mysterium, Sir.«

This is cute! The original dialogue was “Deep waters, Jeeves.” “Extremely deep, sir.” Which, you know, is also cute, but I love that Schlachter has Jeeves suggesting an alternative word for Bertie to use. Because that is a thing Jeeves regularly does! I just think it’s nice to see a translator who actually understands the material they’re translating

I was tagged by @thecountessolivia​, thank you! 

STAR SIGN: Taurus

HEIGHT: Short

PUT YOUR ITUNES/SPOTIFY ON SHUFFLE. WHAT ARE THE FIRST 4 SONGS THAT POPPED UP? Far From Any Road - The Handsome Family, Sleeping on the Backtop - Colter Wall, Velvet Elvis - Alex Winston, La Lune - David Ari Leon

GRAB THE BOOK NEAREST YOU AND TURN TO PAGE 23. WHAT’S LINE 17? “Then he went up to his room and sat there stiff and still, with his cheek on his hand, looking down on the table before him with absent eyes.”

EVER HAD A POEM OR SONG WRITTEN ABOUT YOU? Yes, my boyfriend is a poet.

IN A RELATIONSHIP? Yes.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU PLAYED AIR GUITAR? no

WHO IS YOUR CELEBRITY CRUSH? Honestly.....Tom Hardy. Love Mads and Hugh, but mostly for their portrayals of Hannibal and Will. Tom Hardy, however, is a man I inexplicably adore just for him. I don’t even care much for any of his characters.

WHAT’S A SOUND YOU HATE + SOUND YOU LOVE? Hate the sound of vacuum cleaners. Noisy restaurants and cafés are also super unpleasant. Love the sound of clinking ice and the fizz of carbonated drinks.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS? Not like, intellectually, but I’m always suddenly scared of ghosts when I’m in a situation where ghost encounters seem plausible.

DO YOU DRIVE? No.

IF SO, HAVE YOU EVER CRASHED? I’ve been a passenger in two crashes. Thankfully they were never very serious.

WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK YOU READ? The last book I read for fun is Wodehouse’s Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. The last book I read because I had to is Tonio Kröger by Thomas Mann.

HOW ABOUT ALIENS? I’m so uninterested in aliens I can barely muster the energy to have an opinion, but they’re probably out there, I guess?

WHAT’S THE WORST INJURY YOU’VE EVER HAD? My foot once got stuck in a bicycle wheel when I was given a ride, super unnecessary and hurt like hell. My foot was all blue. People took pics.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OBSESSIONS RIGHT NOW? I have this thing where I get obsessed with arias, but only one at a time. Right now it’s Les oiseaux dans la charmille (the doll’s song) from Tales of Hoffmann. Can’t stop searching for and listening to different versions of it. So far Maria Aleida’s performance is my favorite, it’s on youtube if anyone’s interested. It’s so impressive I just. can’t believe that’s something the human voice can do.

WHAT WAS THE LAST MOVIE YOU SAW? I think it was The Parent Trap.

DO YOU TEND TO HOLD GRUDGES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE YOU WRONG? Hmm. I was going to say “a little bit” but that’s a roundabout way of saying “yes”, isn’t it.

I don’t really......know people, lol, so let’s just say anyone who feels like it can do it. Tag me if you want to, it’s fun to see people answering these things.
