[whumpshaped]

For German whump recs: A few German mutuals and I all found out that we all used to love Wolfgang Hohlbein's writing cause his books are incredibly whumpy :D my fave were the 4 Anders books, and I remember Horus being incredibly whumpy. Also if you want to watch sth, I cannot recommend Tatort Saarbrücken enough. It's so good :D

Does anyone have any fave German listening material for immersion?

I'm aware of EasyGerman on YouTube and various programs aimed at learners, but I'm looking more for TV shows, YouTube series, or streamers. Podcasts are fine too.

I love that people saw this:

Adam Schürk: was a long time in Berlin

Victor Ross: comes from Berlin

Moritz Brenner: comes from Berlin

and literally went: AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES!

Schürk/Ross/Brenner WG!

how it feel listening to music you can't understand but the vibe tells you everything

[phin-tastic]

i cannot describe the rage i feel when i click on a fight club deep dive youtube essay, and it’s just… some dude, talking about how this film is the purest portrayal of masculinity and how “men love it because it’s so relatable”.

i mean, i love it because it’s relatable. but not in the way those sigma film bros do.

i love it because i’m gay, hate capitalism and would like to recreationally get beat up.

it's important to watch shitty foreign movies, i'm so serious about this. when you only ever watch foreign movies if they make it to the oscars or if they're being talked about online, you have a distorted perception of what they're actually like. they're not prestigious, elitist, inaccessible, or hard to watch. they're just in a different language

Do you have any book recommendations? I am trying to find some books and stories to get into.

Hey hi sorry for answering so late I really had to think about this because I'm terrible at giving recommendations :(

I'm mostly going to talk about classics because I am more informed on that topic.

My favorite pieces of literature to recommend that are non Sacher-Masoch related are:

- The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe

- Kafka's short stories

- Rimbaud's poems

- Fraulein Else by Arthur Schnitzler

then obviously I'm going to tell you to read either Venus in Furs or, if you want something less "sexual" and a bit less sad, Don Juan von Kolomea. The Sacher-Masoch propaganda never stops (plus look through the Jewish Short Stories cause they are also worth it Might be a bit problematic in some aspects but if taken in the context of the 19th century it's actually pretty good)

For some newer stuff that I read this year and that I liked a lot and would recommend I'd say:

- Sándor Marais ("The Embers" has changed my life)

- The World and All That It Holds by Aleksandar Hemon

- The World of Yesterday by Stephan Zweig

Also little bonus: anything by Rilke because he writes so beautifully.

Also for some of them you might want to thread carefully because they do handle sensitive topics. I wouldn't want for your reading experience to be ruined by getting in a bad mental state.

Young Royals Fic Recs

so I've spent forever moaning about not having enough time to both read and write Young Royals fic, until I in my neverending genius realized that there's a simple solution for that, and so here are some gems I've been enjoying recently while out on runs.

I’m not in Love, it’s Just a Thing We Make by @unfortunate17 (5k, post s1)

Simon transfers to Marieberg after Christmas and Wilhelm's coping mechanisms couldn't be any worse. @unfortunate17 has a wonderfully captivating voice and is a great storyteller. This fic is sad and angsty and heartbreaking with a guarantee to make you feel all the feels, but the ending is hopeful and I had the best time reading it.

Misery Loves Company by FranFrantastic (23k, wip, ger, post s1)

a Madison & Vincent & Walter fic beautifully told and with great characterization. I love the character backstories, the thought and attention to detail, the friendships, how everyone's personalities are developed and really everything. Go read it now if you understand even the tiniest lick of German!

We're not who we used to be by @iwouldnevergetintofanfic (14k, wip, AU)

Simon and Prince Wilhelm meet as kids in school and become fast friends, but grow apart as they grow older, only to meet again at university in their early twenties. I got very emotional reading this because @iwouldnevergetintofanfic is insanely talented at subtly and not so subtly showing how completely different Simon's and Wilhelm's worlds are and how poor young Simon has to deal with racism and classism and discrimination constantly, always drawing the short straw while Wilhelm, despite all the challenges, gets to stay sheltered and naive. Oh also all the pining, jealousy and feelings which never went away.
