MURAL FATI AVDAGINOJ

Ne ruši sve mostove, možda ćeš se vratiti. Nisi ptica ni leptir obalom što leti, Kad nema mostova uzalud je čeznuti, Uzalud je shvatiti, uzalud je hteti. Ne ruši sve mostove, možda ćeš se vratiti. Ostavi bar jedan most između srca i mene. U samoći je lakše neshvaćeno shvatiti, Mogle bi te nazad nagnati uspomene…. . IVO ANDRIĆ (Pjesma „Ne ruši sve mostove) . ROMAN NA DRINI ĆUPRIJA POSTAJE NAŠA…

Can humans Drini energon and more importently can they get drunk on high grade ?

I’m going to presume this is for OUAT, because humans can still get radiation poisoning in my other fics… Unless they’ve turned into a sparkling- but point still stands!

The short answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!

Cyberformed humans can ingest energon, it just has no nutritional value to them. It’s basically an energy drink. The same also goes for high grade, just with an extra “buzz.”

Humans would be absolutely lightweights to a certain point, Earth would have some energon equivalents, some that are even stronger than the mineral itself, but there’s something about the high grade and how it’s processed that makes the first few introductions very entertaining to watch. Overtime, an individual would gain a higher tolerance, but that first taste? Does not take long to get full-on drunk within a few shots.

It’s not something anyone, human or Cybertronian, predicts. With caffeine, capsaicin, and other edible compounds still existing on Earth, upgraded to match the cyberformed world alongside dark energon and tox-en variants, most would expect humans to be essentially invulnerable to most chemical attacks.

Ah, the hilarity of your new buddy drinking tox-en spiked energon, thanking the would-be-murder for finding a way to make the meal taste like cinnamon, only to later collapse into a giggling, nonsensical mess on the third shot of high grade.

Humanity seems a little more approachable after that. It’s hard not to let your guard down when the individual that accidentally tipped everyone off on a murder-attempt is cuddling you like a clingy sparkling.

The growing TBR Pile : 2024 edition

I'm not a fast reader. Case in point : Storygraph has me pinned as someone reading a book in... 2 months. I say this is slander. I think. I'm not sure. There might be some truth somewhere. But I consume a lot of content either via YouTube or Tumblr about books.

The consequences are dire : my TBR pile grows and grows! So here are some of my 2024 discoveries that I want to read (at some point, I don't know when exactly, it's difficult to say - but it will happen?).

First stop : Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian literature.

At the beginning of the year, I happened on a very short article (in an otherwise very dense newspaper) listing some of the latest translations by a single translator of BCS language. She mentioned the similarities and differences between all those languages, leading me to read more and more about her work and those languages. It made me quite curious about translated literature from that region and ended up compiling a few of them.

Source : interview in French of Chloe Billon, the translator in question, in Pages Sauvages.

Na Drini ćuprija - The Bridge over the Drina -, Ivo Andrić (1945)

The town of Visegrad was long caught between the warring Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, but its sixteenth-century bridge survived unscathed--until 1914 when tensions in the Balkans triggered the first World War. Spanning generations, nationalities, and creeds, The Bridge on the Drina brilliantly illuminates a succession of lives that swirl around the majestic stone arches. Among them is that of the bridge's builder, a Serb kidnapped as a boy by the Ottomans; years later, as the empire's Grand Vezir, he decides to construct a bridge at the spot where he was parted from his mother. A workman named Radisav tries to hinder the construction, with horrific consequences. Later, the beautiful young Fata climbs the bridge's parapet to escape an arranged marriage, and, later still, an inveterate gambler named Milan risks everything on it in one final game with the devil.

Adios, Comboy, Olja Savičević Ivančević (2011)

Dada’s life is at a standstill in Zagreb—she’s sleeping with a married man, working a dead-end job, and even the parties have started to feel exhausting. So when her sister calls her back home to help with their aging mother, she doesn’t hesitate to leave the city behind. But she arrives to find her mother hoarding pills, her sister chain-smoking, her long-dead father’s shoes still lined up on the steps, and the cowboy posters of her younger brother Daniel (who threw himself under a train four years ago) still on the walls.Hoping to free her family from the grip of the past, Dada vows to unravel the mystery of Daniel’s final days.

Second Stop : Polish literature

I learned a lot this past year about Poland (for personal reasons). I started reading about the history of the country, the language, its culture etc. I was at first quite ashamed to be so oblivious to another country from which quite a few of my friends's family come from, and with which French history is so closely linked. Obviously, I started piling up some polish writers in my TBR as a result.

Bezrobotny Lucyfer - Lucifer Unemployed -, Aleksander Wat (1927)

In these nine stories the Polish writer Aleksander Wat consistently turns history on its ear in comic reversals reverberating with futurist rhythms and the gently mocking humor of despair. Wat inverts the conventions of religion, politics, and culture to fantastic effect, illuminating the anarchic conditions of existence in interwar Europe. The title story finds a superbly ironic Lucifer wandering the Europe of the late 1920s in search of a mission: what impact can a devil have in a godless time? What is his sorcery in a society far more diablical than the devil himself? Too idealistic for a world full of modern cruelties, the unemployable Lucifer finally finds the only means of guaranteed immortality. In "The Eternally Wandering Jew," steady Jewish conversion to Christianity results in Nathan the Talmudist reigning as Pope Urban IX. The hilarious satire on power, "Kings in Exile," unfolds with the dethroned monarchs of Europe meeting to found their own republic in an uninhabited island in the Indian Ocean.

Third and Final Stop : under the Influence

I used to watch TikTok at some point, and most of the content left me frustrated, with a hint of dissatisfaction. But sometimes, sometimes, I happened on a great content creator, full of enthusiasm, or a very very avid reader sharing their love for one book. This, unfortunately, doesn't leave me unbothered. And I do admit, witnessing the passion of someone else about a book, made me want to dive into the novels myself !

Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas - The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas -, Machado de Assis (1881)

Machado de Assis is not only Brazil's most celebrated writer but also a writer of world stature. In his masterpiece, the 1881 novel The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas (also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner), the ghost of a decadent and disagreeable aristocrat decides to write his memoir. He dedicates it to the worms gnawing at his corpse and tells of his failed romances and half-hearted political ambitions, serves up hare-brained philosophies and complains with gusto from the depths of his grave. Wildly imaginative, wickedly witty and ahead of its time, the novel has been compared to works by Cervantes, Sterne, Joyce, Nabokov, Borges and Calvino, and has influenced generations of writers around the world.

The Safekeep, Yael van der Wouden (2024)

It is 1961 and the rural Dutch province of Overijssel is quiet. Bomb craters have been filled, buildings reconstructed, and the war is truly over. Living alone in her late mother’s country home, Isabel knows her life is as it should be—led by routine and discipline. But all is upended when her brother Louis brings his graceless new girlfriend Eva, leaving her at Isabel’s doorstep as a guest, to stay for the season. Eva is Isabel’s antithesis: she sleeps late, walks loudly through the house, and touches things she shouldn’t. In response, Isabel develops a fury-fueled obsession, and when things start disappearing around the house—a spoon, a knife, a bowl—Isabel’s suspicions begin to spiral. In the sweltering peak of summer, Isabel’s paranoia gives way to infatuation—leading to a discovery that unravels all Isabel has ever known. The war might not be well and truly over after all, and neither Eva—nor the house in which they live—are what they seem.

Drini Park, Wisata Gunung Kidul Terbaru #paketwisatajogja

[cjbolan]

Back from the MOST DISORGANIZED REC CENTER EVER . Friends and I were mermaiding (swimming in mermaid tails) there , we thought it was allowed as the written rules said:

“fins may be used at the guard’s discretion based upon swimming profiency.”

I’ve swam in my tail for weeks at this local rec center with 0 complaints. Until today.

After ~1 hour of us mermaiding, the head lifeguard suddenly tells us we can’t swim in tails anymore , and that the decision isn’t even up to the lifeguards. Instead it’s up to the aquatics director who never even shows up in person. Really frustrating how they suddenly enforce this unwritten rule, but let everyone openly break other written pool rules 😡 (e.g. letting someone sip their soda downstairs despite a “No Food or Drinks Downstairs ” sign written in big fat letters on the wall).

Should’ve seen their f**ed-up priorities a mile away when I saw their “No Food or Drinks Downstairs” sign with several missing letters. For several days. It currently reads “_O Foo_ O_ Drini Downstair_” .

Feeling bad that I not only got us in trouble , but also some lifeguards possibly fired.

On a positive note, the head lifeguard did let us take poolside photos in our tails. And gave us the contact information of the person in charge of mermaid tail policies, in case we want to discuss the matter further.

3 pierwsze rzeczy wynosily 329kcal, a reszty nie licze na ten moment, policze jutro, ale nie bede raczej dopisywac tego do tego postu. Zalosne. Jestem na imprezie i obzarlam sie jak wieprz. Aczkolwiek nie licze tego jako napad, bo napadem to nie bylo, nie stracilam kontroli, a po prostu sama troche pozwolilam sobie na takie zachowanie. Zdecydowanie jednak nie jestem z rego zadowolonq. Jutro chce wrzucic troche inny post niz samo podsumowanie dnia, ale zpbaczymy. Dobranockaaaa (°_°)/

Edit pisany nastepnego dnia rano; jeszcze troche wypilam i sie zrzygalam. Naprawde pierwszy raz w zyciu rzygalam przez alkohol. Te 2 driny z cola to tak naprawde byly dzielone wiec lacznie kilka lykow ich wypilam. Dodac to piwo z 500ml. A potem wypilam jeszcze wodke z sokiem pomaranczowym (nie bylo juz nic innego na stole dont judge...) to bylo chyba najmocniejsze, bo praktycznie pol na pol. No jak widac to nie jest jakos duzo, juz pilam wiecej i nic mi nie bylo. Wydaje mi sie ze po prostu mieszanka wodki i piwa tak zadzialala. Wstyd mi
