#idk its just tough!!

[straight-into-the-animus]

I have to ask: what has been the biggest culture shock in Europe?

ok noah fence but i have been keeping a document of things i have encountered in italy (and also when i was traveling to paris, london and ireland) that make no sense to me or really shocked me so if i may. here is everything that i have seen that as an american makes me go wtf (good or bad, most of these are neutral!)

-Caps do not come off of drinks (in italy at least. Everytime i buy a coke or iced tea the cap still hangs on somehow)

-Euro changes in size (honestly kind of helpful for keeping track of bills and folding them, to have 20s bigger than 10s bigger than 5s etc etc. Not a fan of how many coins there are to keep track of tho, like 2 euro coins are annoying. And no quarters suck)

-why tf does britain insist on having different money.

-Doors stay open for shops (like you can just walk in without opening the door)

-Ask for bill at restaraunts (waiters will literally just leave you alone and don't come around every ten minutes. you really have to get their attention to say you want the check)

-Late dinners (i was struggling the first week with eating at 830-9p instead of like 6)

-Fee for sitting vs take out (italy with food thing)

-Lots of one way streets/four way intersection rules (i close my eyes and run)

-Paying for public toilets (this one i cannot get behind. And theyre always so gross and covered in crap and its just a waste of paper to make me have a ticket that i dont need. And also classist)

-no recycling bins in the public, and really hard to find trash bins

-Pharmacies 24 hours but work through windows after a certain point (kind of genius tbh)

-Sex toys and condoms/lube available in vending machines on the sidewalk (like ok italy!! Girlboss. I thought about buying smth from one of them just to say i did but hm. Terrified of judgement)

-Stores close early (7-7:30p) even on weekends (also the idea of a store closing at like 1p and not opening again until later. Like you really only see that in mom and pop shops in america)

-Restaurants don't open until 7 for dinner (but it means you always have a way without a reservation!)

-4 different types of restaraunts (italy thing. And theres classes to the restaraunts as well)

-Break emergency windows instead of opening them (in america, our buses have handles on the emergency windows that you pull down and it'll flop open. Other places in Europe they give you a hammer and yoy have to just break the window and get glass shards everywhere which idk how i feel abt)

-COUGHING AND SNEEZING IN THEIR HAND INSTEAD OF ELBOW (this is everywhere i am constantly disgusted and gagging sorry i'll watch someone just hack for a minute into their hand and not even a fist like their straight up palm and then touch stuff and act like nothing happened and its like why. WHY.)

Made a trollsona!

Sow

Pronounced like ‘so’

Mixed troll: Rock/Folk

A wallflower that's trying to branch out little by little

Lives in the mountains (between classical & pop) has been venturing towards other trolls more lately.

Likes to hike up the mountains & listen to the classic trolls’ symphonies.

With the reemergence of pop trolls, Sow now likes to travel down the mountain to hear the pop trolls sing.

Always has mp3, has the most random playlist.

Likes all types of music.

Has a hard time telling what genre a song is.

So many heart stickers, puts them everywhere <3

Gets really into the music.

Pulls up hood in public spaces (makes Sow feel more comfortable).

Bracelets under sleeves

Glasses under all that hair (forgot to draw them)

I've been obsessed with Risk of Rain 2, of course I'm making a mashup with a song from its OST

[tech-obssessed-shark]

Idk if there is anyone out there who needs to hear this but:

If you’re having issues with your gender, sexuality, or just identity in general… it’s ok. It’s okay to discover yourself, it’s okay to change, and it’s ok to be comfortable with who you are now. Everyone goes on their own journey at some point, you should embrace yours. If you ever worry it’s “just a phase”, that is okay. You are allowed to try new things and experiment, you are allowed to realize if what you thought about yourself wasn’t true. You are allowed to grow and you’re allowed to change.

fellas we're once again wrestling with imperfect vs. perfect contrition and why imperfect contrition with a firm resolution to not sin again and promptly receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation doesn't save

[seiwas]

writers of delicious sexy, witty, and sweet smut you are so dear to me

[inkybinkyboink]

are you ever coming back to the urinetown fandom? we miss you so much 🙏🙏🙏

if you ever do headcanons of the poor ensemble like soupy sue, billy boy bill, robbie, tom, etc would be so cool omg!

oh fuck man I have the attention span of a labradoodle I don't know if I will 😔😔😔

your support and love is not ignored, though, and I'm very grateful, so for you troubles I will offer you this:

soupy sue has the biggest heart (I'm aware she helps kill barrel. don't worry abt it. soupy sue said acab). maybe she used to work at a soup kitchen or a homeless shelter? maybe some of the poor knew her before the drought and maybe she was known as Soupy Sue because she worked at the soup kitchen?

in our production Billy boy Bill, tiny Tom and robbie were all a trio but with this beautiful air of stupidity. like. loveably stupid.

I really like robbie in the Broadway version. he's this big stocky guy I could totally see chilling at a pier somewhere.

hungthefuckover staring out at the river with his fishing pole next to him

damn robbie wouldn't be able to fish anymore :(

tiny Tom looks up to Bobby like an older brother

our hot blades harry had some post apocalypse biker chique going on it was pretty cool

little Becky two shoes gets so much support from the other poor. they source out baby clothes and maternity clothes for her

genuinely I think the ensemble/the poor folk have to be so united. they're kind of all in this together and that's what binds them together as one entity.

they pilfer and steal from each other but I don't know that they would start fighting amongst themselves because they know at the end of the day that's only going to make them weaker against the rich

they'd have to exist in this sort of awful us vs them mindset because if they don't it leaves them vulnerable?

they do unethical and immoral things because a) they have no other choice and b) they know there's no better alternative. it's going to suck but at least it's going to suck together.

He is just a psychopath (said by his own friend emet) looking for his own benefit, at least in that he resembles Sylvee.

that is quite a wild statement anon
