ciao.
oggi, ho letto una parte di un libro ma non molto. ho mangiato una piccola quantità di cibo perchè a casa non c'è molto cibo. ma, ho mangiato di qualcosa - due pezzi di pizza e un po' di pane tostato. comunque, sto bene. anche ho bevuto una tazza di caffè di questa mattina, e ne sto bevendo uno adesso.
buonanotte,

Visited Italy, went hunting for Topolino. I'm a really bad hunter.
It's really frustrating that I had ear problems before my holiday, my hearing was really muted, so not only was I struggling to understand, I was struggling to hear.
So busy shop, I go to buy books, server asks me something, I give them a blank look as I desperately try to understand what they have just said, they repeat in English, which I'm quicker to understand, then they ask if I realise the books I'm buying are in Italian.
Rince and repeat.
I wish I had the courage to answer "SĂŹ, orecchie mal, voglio leggo l'italiano" because I certainly thought it lots. Please excuse my bad Italian, I know that sentence isn't quite right.
But I got to read Topolino! Micky Mouse fighting dragons, Gladstone's dating life, and Gyro's troubles with invisibility!
I also picked up several old issues. I can't believe my best success came from the Airport where I found a dozen back issues on offer. Days wandering around Milan, wandering into bookshops and comic shops, and mostly I found the fancy hardbacks, and usually only a couple per shop.
I've wanted Topolino for so long and now I have some. XD Happy Robin
I picked up some books as well, but my choices there are a bit... scattered. I tried to pick up books written by Italians rather than translations from other languages. I know some of them are above my current level but something to aim for and they looked interesting

So, are Machete and Vasco both from Naples? As Italian, I can now imagine them talking with some kind of accent :)
Machete is originally from Sicily! But he hasn't been there since he was little. Vasco's family is from Florence.
Vasco's Tuscan accent is deeply rooted and clearly noticeable, but Machete is a lot harder to pin down. He strives to sound as impersonal and formal as possible, which renders his form of speech kind of stiff and flavorless. He's always been reasonably good at absorbing languages though, so I'd like to say that he can communicate in several of the major Italian dialects/languages if necessary. In work matters he readily switches to ecclesiastical Latin.
Maybe his southern origins show up more clearly whenever he's off-duty and his mask of soulless professionalism is a little looser or something.
#answered#abbylaus#Vaschete lore#Italy's language situation is practically incomprehensible to an outsider#I can't even pretend to properly grasp it but bear with me I'm trying#I believe by the 1500's standard Italian based on Florentine dialect had gained a steady foothold among upper classes and literary works#but it only became truly widespread and attained it's status as the âOfficial General-Purpose Italianâ centuries later#it was and to some degree is a patchwork of closely related but not fully mutually intelligible languages and their regional forms

I have this one "OC" that does not yet have a name that I've drawn several times for a couple years. I was thinking that if I tried making them in FFXIV that I'd use elezen as a base... but then I remembered what other race have their near exact hairstyle... and now I'm like damn... I played myself...
#idk if ill do anything with them but im saving the design. just in case.#perhaps the ffxiv setting is whats needed to gain an idea of who they are#as of now i havent even figured out their gender like are they male? female? both? its one of those but which? who knows. not me!#i think besides that i knew they were really tall. a magic user. and i was pondering on some italian name#... could work with the 13th i suppose hmmm.#anyway i have more character design ideas than i could ever hope to put to use! send help!!!#ffxiv#final fantasy xiv#ff14#final fantasy 14#roegadyn#hellsguard#gpose#ffxiv screenshot#ffxiv gpose#ffxiv screenshots#i almost tagged edit but these are completely untouched#i tried but then id have to do all to be happy and make them match LMAO#nabaath-areng#my screenshot#i took soooo many screens but i feel like the post is already bloated yells#so these shall suffice. but please DO know that theyre painfully photogenic#and that practically every screenshot turned out super sexy

I can't believe they had the gall to title this as "Alonso 'proud' of 'well executed' race in Monza" when he looks like he's about to jump off a bridge the whole interview đ
#LOOK AT HIS SAD EYES UGHHHHH#IT FEELS SO PAINFUL#the way he keeps practically forcing himself to say hes 'proud and happy' when its soooo clear hes disappointed#he keeps being like 'well this part was good' and then instantly says smth depressing again#i think the most painful part was his response to what he's looking forward to next race#he said smth like 'well i hope we can figure out what's wrong because something is really wrong' UGHHHH#ASTON FIX YOU CAR I CANNOT KEEP WATCHING HIS MENTAL STATE DETERIORATE#look at his eyebrows and eyes he cant hide the sadness#no bcs i saw the title and was like oh? it wasnt as bad as i thought itd be?#and then i watched it and it killed me#f1#formula 1#we do a little bit of f1#fernando alonso#2024 italian gp#2024 italian grand prix

Finally, after quite a few years, I'm hopping back on digital art as well! Gotta practice with it, but we're here :D
So, for now, let me drop you one of the drawings I did as practice in these days, and since I'm hyperfixating on Arcane, I couldn't not draw our fav girl Jinx ;>

M. Laeta Francisco Petrarcae epistulam dedicat.
Fu nella tua cittĂ di Arezzo, maestro, ove per primo iniziai a dedicarmi alla lingua italiana.
Ero giovanissima, studentessa universitaria, americana, ignorante, peggio di tutto ero musicista, quando per prima sentii il tuo nome. (Petrarch, Petrarca, mi chiedevo, ma chi è questo? Petr-arca, arca di pietro, come un antico tempio romano. Recitavo il tuo nome come un incantesimo per placare il genius loci di Arretium, prima di leggere una tua singola parola. Perdonami.)
Ad Arezzo come in ogni altra cittĂ del mondo ero lâestranea di ogni gruppo sociale. La mia esperienza emblematica di questa vita da sempre è: osservare un circolo stretto di amici, dall��altra parte della stanza. Per quello studiavo piuttosto da sola, girovagavo in cittĂ da sola. Imparai un giorno che eri un poeta medioevale che cantavi dâamore, per una donna con cui non parlavi mai: come Dante con la sua Beatrice, sognando e piangendo ma sempre senza speranza, eri cosĂŹ per la tua Laura.
Alma del core, spirto dellâalma - sempre costante tâadorerò. Un altro ricordo di Arezzo di quellâestate. Una canzonetta settecentesca, una melodia tenera e semplice. Non câentravi, eppur quando lo cantavo da sola nella mia voce tenua e fanciullesca, per le strade e nei parchi e boschetti, mi immaginavo di cantare per te, anche mentre cantavi a Laura. Allâaria perfettamente vuota.
Una notte con i miei compagni di classe comprammo, con gli occhi sgranati e ridacchiando nervosi per il senso di trasgressione, una bottiglia di assenzio. Chiudemmo le luci a casa e facemmo il rito dello zucchero bruciato per addolcire il liquore amaro, lo bevemmo e ci sedemmo sul balcone della casa a guardare il cielo stellato e attendere le allucinazioni e visioni mistiche a noi promessi dalle leggende urbane e dagli scrittori morti male dellâottocento. Ovviamente non successe niente tranne una consueta ubriacatura, ma io ad un certo punto iniziai a fissare dei cipressi lontani, alberi eleganti e malinconici, tratti di inchiostro nero che spezzavano il lume delle stelle, mai visti prima nella mia terra e cosĂŹ poetici che mi venne da piangere. I miei compagni di classe mi presero in giro e non mi credettero quando dissi di aver visto lo spirito di Petrarca.
Canzoniere. Io da musicista conoscevo giĂ la parola âcanzoneâ, ma âcanzoniereâ mi suonava magico, come un sospiro. Troppo romantico. Dovevo finalmente conoscerti. Entrai in una libreria - e maestro, tieni presente che tutto questo accadde prima che io avessi la minima competenza letteraria in italiano. Ero nella classe dei principianti analfabeti, con unâinsegnante distratta e antipatica, e dopo un paio di settimane avevo giĂ imparato tutto il materiale che ci aspettava per lâesame e iniziai a saltare le lezioni per pura noia.
Quel giorno - quel nostro giorno - presi in mano la mia nuova Canzoniere e salii in cima della cittĂ , ove regna la cattedrale come una fortezza etrusca costruita sopra la vetta della collina. Il sole quel giorno, quel nostro giorno, era di uno splendore travolgente. Accanto al cattedrale câè un parco, con il tuo monumento - un poâ pomposo, trionfale, romano, augustiniano, precisamente come piacerebbe a te, ridicolo che sei. Di lauro incoronato.
Mi misi lĂ , sdraiata sul prato, ascoltando in cuffie le sonate di Liszt basate sui sonetti tuoi, e iniziai a sfogliare ciecamente la tua opera. Dietro le parole che faticavo a decifrare percepii una bellezza struggente che mi tenne lâattenzione alla pagina. Poi lo splendore del sole diventò troppo, diventò un fastidio troppo caldo, e andai a cercare riparo ombroso da qualche parte.
Fu tutta una scusa per lâultimo pelegrinaggio. La tua casa sta ancora lĂ , la casa in cui la beata Eletta ti ha dato alla luce. Quel nostro giorno, la porta del cortile era aperta. Sotto un albero (forse un ampio faggio, se vogliamo citare il nostro Tityrus, ma lui quel giorno mi aspettava ancora, lontano nel mio futuro) aprĂŹ di nuovo il libro. Il nome di Laura - o meglio Laureta - mi catturò lâocchio.
Quando io movo i sospiri a chiamar voi,
e 'l nome che nel cor mi scrisse Amore,
LAUdando s'incomincia udir di fore
il suon de' primi dolci accenti suoi.
Restai lĂ per forse 2 ore, soffermandomi su ogni parola, strappando i neuroni dal cervello per decifrare il tutto, lentamente, sperdutamente, senza la minima idea di cosa stavo facendo - ma alla fine, lo capĂŹ. Per questo lo chiamo quel giorno il nostro: perchè lĂ a casa tua diventasti il mio primo vero maestro dâitaliano, e mi hai insegnato una canzone. Rubai per te un fiore dal giardino e scappai via - un regalo per te, che conserverò tra le pagine della tua Canzoniere per sempre.
