Urban

Damit eine Stadt urban wird, müssen sich bestimmte Konstellationen von selbst ergeben.

For a city to become urban, certain constellations must arise of their own accord

Die Stadt

Am grauen Strand, am grauen Meer

Und seitab liegt die Stadt;

Der Nebel drückt die Dächer schwer,

Und durch die Stille braust das Meer

Eintönig um die Stadt.

Es rauscht kein Wald, es schlägt im Mai

Kein Vogel ohn Unterlaß;

Die Wandergans mit hartem Schrei

Nur fliegt in Herbstesnacht vorbei,

Am Strande weht das Gras.

Doch hängt mein ganzes Herz an dir,

Du graue Stadt am Meer;

Der Jugend Zauber für und für

Ruht lächelnd doch auf dir, auf dir,

Du graue Stadt am Meer.

Theodor Storm, Die Stadt, 1851

I finally got into the Zamonia books and I love this little dinosaur man. I very much relate to his artistic crisis after reading the mysterious perfect manuscript haha :')

TRRC Redathon Day 1 - 4

Day One: Finished One for all all by Lillie Lainoff. I loved getting immersed in the world of Tania de Batz and her sister in arms. Especially because this isn’t a scene-by-scene replay of the original with female characters. Rather Lillie Lainoff took the essence of the story and weaved something new and original from it. Overall a pleasant read, expertly mixing adventure with a number of social issues.

Day two: Spent the day listening to Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher by Walter Moers (read by the late Dirk Bach) while doing chores, taking a long walk and getting lots of dog cuddles. I love Walter Moer's play on words, his use of anagrams and allusive writing. Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher is an all time favourite of mine and no one could narrate it more witty and funny than Dirk Bach.

Day three and four: Read Artemisia Gentileschi und Der Zorn der Frauen a biographical novel by Gabriela Jaskulla. Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter, is considered among the most accomplished 17th-century artists and the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence. While it took me a long time to get into the book because of the writing style, it was an exciting story about a very fascinating person, art, Italy and the living environment of women in the 17th century. I just wish they had included some pictures of her artwork in the book because it’s really stunning.

Wenn mein Vater schon der Verkäuferin an der Theaterkasse vom Spatort als positiv-Beispiel erzählt (mitsamt Tumblr-Erwähnung), weil sie mit dem alten, konservativen Fernsehprogramm nichts anfangen kann... 💀

[clansocreations]

1. Switches gears between "hilarious" and "profound" and "jaw on the floor because of how emotionally loaded this silly story has just become" with little effort

2. Will name characters after anything

3. Will refer to things from our world, sometimes very subtly, sometimes as unsubtly as getting slapped in the face is subtle

4. "what if this classic storytelling fantasy thing but different"

5. What if WORLDBUILDING, but thought through to it's logical conclusion.

6. Fiction books that contain a surprising level of practical life advice

7. CITIES. Big capital cities that should not WORK. But they DO.

8. Bonus points if I close the book and think "what the fuck have I just read"

So yeah anyways this is me seamlessly going from reading Discworld again to reading Zamonia again, thinking about who would win in a fight between Ankh-Morpork and Atlantis.

((Honestly my money is on Ankh-Morpork. They're meaner. And also Atlantis literally fucked off into space. Which counts for disqualification.))

Anyways, if you're interested in this sort of shenanigans, please read a Zamonia novel.

And by shenanigans I mean that there's a writer mentioned in Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by the name of Eiderich Fishnertz

And I'm here like thinking who is that? (Because of anagram shenanigans)

And then it's Friedrich Nietzsche.

That sort of shenanigans.

My favorite is The city of dreaming books but the 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear is also great, or Rumo, or ANY ONE OF THEM I promise they're so neat!

Uh so a certain brain rot is back

Didn't expect that

Anyways so I read all the Zamonien books like 5 years ago and back then I wasn't as good at art as now so with the brain rot back I might be doing some fanart and I'm strating with Hildegunst of course because how else

[alu-cd]

I drew a thing.

Post it again because of troubles with quality👍👍

[cornchrunchie]

Ich lese gerade – aus einem rein wissenschaftlichen Interesse, versteht sich – ein Buch zum Tatort und heule fast vor Lachen

[space-diablo]

I decided.. that it's finished and I like it.
