i tought we might take a moment to appreciate the striking cover art of finnish translations of the first 3 vampire chronicles!

the artist is hannele vanha-aho.

this is how the books looked like when i dragged them home from a local library some 23 (?) years ago. i still love these covers!!

interview with the vampire was first published in finnish in 1992 as "veren vangit" ( = prisoners of blood), translated by hanna tarkka, who also translated the following ones ->

the vampire lestat, "vampyyri lestat", published in 1993, and ->

the queen of the damned, "kadotettujen kuningatar", in 1994.

two decades later these three remain the only books in whole vampire chronicles that have been translated in finnish. (other works by anne rice haven't been published in finnish either, except for: the beauty books. makes me wonder about finland's publishing houses' priorities 😒)

so of course, after finishing these three, i had no other option but to pick up my first ever book in english, the tale of the body thief, when i was 14. which basically means it was lestat who taught me english (thank you monsieur de lioncourt!). and it warms my heart to have recently learnt that a few other of my friends have actually had this exact same experience! truly some life-altering literature.

Slou Damake? Nääh, se on poka Hiras Lämä (I swear suomalaistan kaikki fandomit johon saan paskaiset näppini)

Tein nää pahimman SD-brainrottini aikana ja toivottavasti nää pääsis joskus iha tarramuotoonki (kuha vaa saisin itteni joskus vielä taidekujakuntoon)

And as usual, poor translations just in case (I've actually thought of making eng. versions of these, but ehhhhghhh i don't think that'll happen for a while (if ever)):

Towa "Booze & smokes"

Taku "In my medical opinion: Don't."

Rei "I wanna beat you, then eat you <3" (can't believe it rhymes in eng as well!)

Madarame "Ya wanna get beat?"

Fujieda "Thank you, that's enough."

Kotarou "Fuck it's cold!!"

Mayu "You look just like my anime-waifu <3"

Eiji "Nuclear bomb! :-D"

Vampire "Thristy..." (it's actually in estonian (or as we like to call it: drunk finnish))

Ikuina "wanna play knife-tag??"

Asakura "uncle-ing hazard" (a word play on "radiation hazard" and...? "uncle-ing?"/acting like a creepy guy (probs the most tastleless out of the bunch but eghhhh i'm cancel-worthy anyways))

Mizuno "(I) got beaten up..."

(Nearly all of these are in low/highkey dialect or slang and just stolen memes/jokes in general)

i genuinely cannot believe this show is real. not only THIS good but also THIS catered to my specific interests? with characters i relate to THIS much? and it's all in the MAIN storyline and i don't have to sit through a bunch of shit i don't care about to get to the good stuff? insane

[blessedpictures]

So often I have a story idea & then realize how entirely out of my fucking depth I'd be if I wrote it. The sheer amount of homework I'd have to do just for one fic. You wouldn't believe how many ideas have died in that bucket.

round 3 - week 7 - 3 of 4

brought to you by: marceline the vampire queen

gatico (colombian spanish) vs kisumisu (finnish)

info and propawganda under the cut!

gatico /ɡaˈtiko/

Ok, so the usual word for kitty in Spanish is Gatito, but in Colombia when the word has t in its last syllable, we form the diminutive with c so that it's easier to pronounce, making gatico a very unique way to say kitty and that's why I think it should win.

kisumisu - no IPA provided

Long and cute !

both parts already mean "cat" on their own, the repetition is added for maximum kittycat cuteness. also insanely fun to say

my idea is that Maria-Anne knows very little or close to nothing about Japan and Nago is just gradually weebing her up and whenever she wears a yukata or anything similar it's his idea

[ravelqueen]

You know how it's a mystery to linguistics how the closest related language to Finnish is Hungarian?

Consider the most likely reason: Finnish vampires.

Finland is great for vampires in the winter: only very few hours of sun, basically none if you're up to Lappland - paradise.

Only it's the exact reverse in the summer with only sunshine all the time. So they have to migrate south - a reverse bird migration if you will. A bat-gration.

Clearly they used to go down to the Balkan for the great nature and just nice climate of small isolated villages.

And that is how that language spread happened!

Vampires!
