bon dia!! I'm moving to Catalunya this fall to be an English teacher's assistant and I'm so so excited to learn catalan and explore your beautiful country 💗 Do you have any recommendations for places or activities around the Lleida región? Moltes gràcies ☺️

Bon dia!

In Lleida (the city itself), the most iconic site to visit is the Seu Vella (old cathedral). It's a Medieval cathedral that was also used as a stronghold in war in the Early Modern Period. It's located on top of a hill, so there's great views of the whole city from there.

(Photo)

A natural place: the Congost de Mont-rebei (Mont-rebei Canyon). This is the river that is used as the administrative dividing line between Catalonia on East and Aragon in the West (La Franja). It's a very beautiful place, but I don't know what it's like now with the drought. There's a very nice walk near the La Pertusa chapel and in an excavated part of the rock walls so you can see the river. Many people also go kayaking or similar things but I don't know if there's enough water now. (For context, we're having a very bad drought, it has barely rained in 3 years and all the reservoirs are practically empty).

(Photo 1 / Photo 2)

In spring, it's also very pretty to see the fruit tree fields around Lleida. The most popular town to go to is Aitona, but you can also see it in Seròs, Alcarràs, Torres de Segre, and others.

(Photo)

Some historical small towns near Lleida that are nice to visit include Vallbona de les Monges with its Medieval monastery, and the towns around the Riucorb river (I would recommend the town Guimerà, and also Verdú to visit its tower), Montfalcó Murallat is also nice but very small. For a bigger town: Cervera. It's interesting to see the university building in Cervera, when Philip V (Spanish king who conquered Catalonia in 1714) made all the universities in Catalonia, Valencia, Mallorca and Aragon close down, he only allowed 1 university, which he moved to Cervera because it was a city where many people had supported him in the war and because it was in a rural area so he could closely control the students (university students in Barcelona and other places had been very involved in the war against Philip V).

(Photo 1: Santa Maria de Vallbona monastery. Photo 2: Guimerà)

An archaeological site: Fortalesa dels Vilars in Arbeca. This was a fortress inhabited between 775 and 300 BC, you can visit the archaeological site and the museum with the objects found. Arbeca is also famous for its olives (called arbequines), definitively worth a try 😋🫒 you'll find them in most markets and supermarkets.

(Photo)

If you're near, when it comes to archaeology, there are also some prehistorical rock art sites. The most well-known in the area is the wall La roca dels moros in Cogul.

(Photo 1)

Those are the places I'd recommend closest to Lleida. If you can move more, I also really recommend going up to the Pyrenees mountains (in the north of the Lleida province). There's lots of Medieval architecture there, lots of cute villages and some wonderful natural parks.

The bad thing about the Lleida area is that it doesn't have as good public transport as more densely populated areas, because outside of Lleida city itself it's very rural. So you might have to rely on cars.

Another activity in Lleida: the most famous food from there is snails, there are different recipes, the most widespread is caragols a la llauna, but they also serve them with allioli or with vinaigrette. There's also many other delicious foods, but that is what most people associate with Lleida the most.

Aaand that's what comes to mind in the areas near Lleida. I'm not from that province so I don't know it as well as other areas, if someone reading this has more recommendations please feel free to add them in the reblogs or comments.

I hope you enjoy your time in Catalonia!

Generation of 27

The Generation of ‘27 (Spanish: Generación del 27) was an influential group of poets that arose in Spanish literary circles between 1923 and 1927, essentially out of a shared desire to experience and work with avant-garde forms of art and poetry. Their first formal meeting took place in Seville in 1927 to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of the baroque poet Luis de Góngora. Writers and intellectuals paid homage at the Ateneo de Sevilla, which retrospectively became the foundational act of the movement.

Terminology:

The Generation of ‘27 has also been called, with lesser success, “Generation of the Dictatorship”, “Generation of the Republic”, “Generation Guillén-Lorca” (Guillén being its oldest author and Lorca its youngest), “Generation of 1925” (average publishing date of the first book of each author), “Generation of Avant-Gardes”, “Generation of Friendship”, etc. According to Petersen, “generation group” or a “constellation” are better terms which are not so much historically restricted as “generation”.

Aesthetic style:

The Generation of '27 cannot be neatly categorized stylistically because of the wide variety of genres and styles cultivated by its members. Some members, such as Jorge Guillén, wrote in a style that has been loosely called jubilant and joyous and celebrated the instant, others, such as Rafael Alberti, underwent a poetic evolution that led him from youthful poetry of a more romantic vein to later politically-engaged verses.

The group tried to bridge the gap between Spanish popular culture and folklore, classical literary tradition and European avant-gardes. It evolved from pure poetry, which emphasized music in poetry, in the vein of Baudelaire, to Futurism, Cubism, Ultraistand Creationism, to become influenced by Surrealism and finally to disperse in interior and exterior exile following the Civil Warand World War II, which are sometimes gathered by historians under the term of the “European Civil War”. The Generation of '27 made a frequent use of visionary images, free verses and the so-called impure poetry, supported by Pablo Neruda.

Members:

In a restrictive sense, the Generation of '27 refers to ten authors, Jorge Guillén, Pedro Salinas, Rafael Alberti, Federico García Lorca, Dámaso Alonso, Gerardo Diego, Luis Cernuda, Vicente Aleixandre, Manuel Altolaguirre and Emilio Prados. However, many others were in their orbit, some older authors such as Fernando Villalón, José Moreno Villa or León Felipe, and other younger authors such as Miguel Hernández. Others have been forgotten by the critics, such as Juan Larrea, Pepe Alameda, Mauricio Bacarisse, Juan José Domenchina, José María Hinojosa, José Bergamín or Juan Gil-Albert. There is also the “Other generation of '27”, a term coined by José López Rubio, formed by himself and humorist disciples of Ramón Gómez de la Serna, including: Enrique Jardiel Poncela, Edgar Neville, Miguel Mihura and Antonio de Lara, “Tono”, writers who would integrate after the Civil War (1936–39) the editing board of La Codorniz.

Furthermore, the Generation of '27, as clearly reflected in the literary press of the period, was not exclusively restricted to poets, including artists such as Luis Buñuel, the caricaturist K-Hito, the surrealist painters Salvador Dalí and Óscar Domínguez, the painter and sculptor Maruja Mallo, as well as Benjamín Palencia, Gregorio Prieto, Manuel Ángeles Ortiz and Gabriel García Maroto, the toreros Ignacio Sánchez Mejías and Jesús Bal y Gay, musicologists and composers belonging to the  Group of Eight, including Bal y Gay, Ernesto Halffter and his brother Rodolfo Halffter, Juan José Mantecón, Julián Bautista, Fernando Remacha, Rosa García Ascot, Salvador Bacarisse and Gustavo Pittaluga. There was also the Catalan Group who presented themselves in 1931 under the name of Grupo de Artistas Catalanes Independientes, including Roberto Gerhard, Baltasar Samper, Manuel Blancafort, Ricard Lamote de Grignon, Eduardo Toldrá and Federico Mompou.

Finally, not all literary works were written in Spanish: Salvador Dalí and Óscar Domínguez also wrote in French. Foreigners such as the Chilean poets Pablo Neruda and Vicente Huidobro, the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, and the Franco-Spanish painter Francis Picabia also shared much with the aesthetics of the Generation of '27.

The Generation of '27 was not exclusively located in Madrid, but rather deployed itself in a geographical constellation which maintained links together. The most important nuclei were in Sevilla, around the Mediodía review, Tenerife around the Gaceta de Arte, and Málaga around the Litoral review. Others members resided in Galicia, Catalonia and Valladolid.

The Tendencies of '27:

The name “Generation of 1927” identifies poets that emerged around 1927, the 300th anniversary of the death of the Baroque poet Luis de Góngora y Argote to whom the poets paid homage. It sparked a brief flash of neo-Gongorism by outstanding poets like Rafael Alberti, Vicente Aleixandre, Dámaso Alonso, Luis Cernuda, Gerardo Diego and Federico García Lorca.

Spanish Civil War aftermath:

The Spanish Civil War ended the movement: García Lorca was murdered, Miguel Hernandez died in jail and other writers (Rafael Alberti, Jose Bergamin, León Felipe, Luis Cernuda, Pedro Salinas, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Bacarisse) were forced into exile, although virtually all kept writing and publishing late throughout the 20th century.

Dámaso Alonso and Gerardo Diego were among those who reluctantly remained in Spain after the Francoists won and more or less reached agreements with the new authoritarian and traditionalist regime or even openly supported it, in the case of Diego. They evolved a lot, combining tradition and avant-garde, and mixing many different themes, from toreo to music to religious and existentialist disquiets, landscapes, etc. Others, such as Vicente Aleixandre and Juan Gil-Albert, simply ignored the new regime, taking the path of interior exile and guiding a new generation of poets.

However, for many Spaniards the harsh reality of Francoist Spain and its reactionary nature meant that the cerebral and aesthetic verses of the Generation of '27 did not connect with what was truly happening, a task that was handled more capably by the poets of the Generation of '50 and the social poets.

Statue:

A statue dedicated to the Generation 27 Poets is now in Seville in Spain. The inscription on the monument translates as 'Seville The poets of the Generation of 27’

Just in case. Some might enjoy. Had to organize some notes.

These are just some of the newer texts that had been promoted in the past few years at the online home of the American Association of Geographers. [At: aag dot org/new-books-for-geographers/]

Tried to narrow down selections to focus on (1) Indigenous, Black, Latin American, oceanic/archipelagic geographies; (2) imaginaries and environmental perception; (3) and mobility, borders, carceral/abolition geography.

These texts feature concepts/subjects like: Indigeneity and "geographies of time" in the Ecuadorian Andes. "Migration and music in the construction of precolonial AfroAsia." The "practice of collective escape" and "reimagining geographies of order." The "making and unmaking of French India." The "literary geography" of the rubber boom in Amazonia. "Coercive geographies" and mass imprisonment. "Anti-fatness as anti-Blackness." The "(un)governable city" of colonial Delhi.

Waterfolk can be associated with other elements too

While waterpeople are primarily and solely associated with water, some of them bear associations with other elements in terms of the classical elements, namely earth, fire, and air. I will rather dive into this in regards to symbolism.

Edited "Fire and the Sea" by Henry John Stock in 1912.

~Fire~

This in general is thought of to be the contradicting element of water. If water and fire is seen side by side, it creates a strong contrast. Red and blue contradict each other in terms of color alongside. However, waterpeople could still bear connections to it. In regards to that, flames tend to have a slight blue tip in terms of color. Warmth and solar associations with waterfolk exist, too.

Maria da Manta from Portugal meaning "Mary of the Blanket", Maria Gancha namely "Mary Hook", Maria Ganta meaning "Mary of the Grid" or as in the Miranese language, Mariamanta, was said to live in wells, having hooks for hands in order to drag the youth in and drown them. While her appearance varied a lot, some would say she possessed eyes made of fire. Source: Maria Gancha - Portuguese Creatures and Legends Galore https://portuguesecreaturesandlegendsgalore.wordpress.com/2020/02/14/maria-gancha/

Edited "Wasser und Feuer" by Franz von Stuck in 1913.

Sulis is a humanoid, Celtic goddess from the United Kingdom who is both a water and solar deity. She was closely associated with the hot springs in Bath alongside. Source: Sulis, Goddess of Celtic Mythology | Characteristics & Depictions - Study. com https://study.com/academy/lesson/sulis-celtic-goddess-mythology-history.html?srsltid=AfmBOopQslCH2QEArMfaq5VE7QDgXuMQS3z55jnppUGbVGlpA3E7ldu2.

The Thai sea-maiden spirit called Phi thale ผีทะเล is said to appear as a mermaid or a beautiful woman, luring sailors. Sometimes a Phi Thale takes form as a St. Elmo's fire, basically a weather phenomenon caused by electrical discharges during thunderstorms. It seems to appear like faint luminosity or "fire" on pointed objects. St. Elmo's fire is accompanied by a noise like hissing and crackling. The Phi thale may also be considered to be related to electricity in this regard which is just as contradictory to water as it injures one upon touch in water. Sources: What is a Phi Thale (ผีทะเล)? - PAHUYUTH https://pahuyuth.com/en/glossar/phi-thale/ and Saint Elmo's Fire - Britannica https://www.britannica.com/science/Saint-Elmos-fire

~Air~

This is something all living beings require and thus connect, but not all can fly or go with the winds. While waterpeople are thought of to primarily only reside in water bodies, some were capable of flying. The flying fish is something I associate them with regarding this.

"Flying Fish" by Herbert James Draper in 1910.

One version states that the seirenes of Greek mythology had been the daughters of Achelous, being the naiads of the Achelous river, namely acheloides before being turned into their seiren forms. Usually, they had been depicted with wings and the bodies of birds, luring sailors like they used to. They are an embodiment between the shore and the sea, connecting air and water in terms of symbolism. Source: SIRENS (Seirenes) - Half-Bird Women of Greek Mythology - Theoi Greek Mythology https://www.theoi.com/Pontios/Seirenes.html

"Ulysses and The Sirens" by John William Waterhouse in 1891.

The Catalan dones d'aigua were described with wings like those of butter- or dragonflies despite living underwater. One of them who lived in the Torre dels Encantats in Caldes d'Estrac would fly and launch herself into the air, only to descend like a bird down to the beach in order to bathe in the sea. Sources: Les dones d’aigua Elisenda Vilaró Móra http://www.elisendavilaromora.com/2012/03/les-dones-daigua/ and Llegenda de la Dona d'Aigua - Adjunament de Caldes d'Estrac https://caldetes.cat/fitxa.php?id=3414

Melusine also grew wings in order to fly away as she felt betrayed.

"Little Fairy Sisters" by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite for her "Fairyland" in 1926.

Shapeshifting waterpeople could turn into critters who could fly. For instance, yawkyawks could transform into dragon-flies and the dones d'aigua could turn into water blackbirds.

~Earth~

Almost all waterpeople from the world were capable of shedding their aquatic guise in order to go and venture upon the shore and amidst the forests. Many could shed theirs like the Celtic and Norse selkies, Gurindji karukayn, Irish merrows etc. and some would completely shapeshift in order to go ashore like the Brazilian boto encantado did. Anyhow, some waterpeople did not need to change at all. Water-horse-people like the kelpies could go ashore both in either humanoid or equine form. While some waterpeople were still bound to their aquatic origins, some were not depending on the type of waterperson.

Edited "Das Märchen" by Gustave Graef in 1881.

Em um pequeno vilarejo localizado em uma ilha no mar mora uma linda menininha chamada Maria, menina essa que sonhava em ser uma influenciadora de maquiagem, a mesma adorava explorar a ilha atrás de novas aventuras, sempre descobria algo novo, pois o mar sempre lhe trazia surpresas. Em um certo dia de exploração Maria avistou algo diferente, algo na qual ela não acreditava que existia, com seu celular em mãos foi correndo checar o que era e fazer seus registros, levava um pequeno bloco para desenhar o que achasse também.

Maria cada vez chegava mais perto do que poderia ser seu maior achado, ouvia um som lindo à medida que se aproximava, era como uma canção, foi se aproximando bem devagar, apreciando aquele lindo momento, até que foi descoberta e a criatura fugiu. Maria tentou chama-la muitas vezes, mas foi ignorada, porém ela não desistiu e voltou no dia seguinte mais cedo, levando consigo alguns biscoitos e um copo de suco, deixou perto do mar e esperou, em certo momento a bela voz voltou e saboreou tudo que estava lá, suavemente ela agradeceu e convidou Maria a se aproximar, a menininha então percebeu que era uma sereia linda, sua cauda brilhante de várias cores misturadas em uma, simplesmente magnifica, porém seu rosto não estava tão belo quanto o resto, estava bem suja por conta da poluição do oceano. Nossa aventureira então lembrou do seu sonho sobre se tornar uma grande maquiadora nas redes, pediu para bela sereia voltar amanhã que ela deixaria ela ainda mais bela, como prometido elas se encontraram no dia seguinte, a menininha estava com sua maleta de maquiagem e outros equipamentos para a mesma, começou seus retoques na sereia e começou a fazer o que vinha em mente, enfeitando ela toda, limpando o que era necessário e registrando tudo por fotos e vídeos. Ao final de tudo a sereia olhou seu reflexo num pequeno espelho e se apaixonou por si mesma, agradeceu muito a Maria e lhe disse que seu nome era Aurora e que estava de partida, contou a ela que ouviu a mesma cantarolando sobre seus sonhos e foi a superfície para ajudá-la, lhe disse para postar tudo que haviam feito em suas redes e lhe deixou uma concha de presente, concha essa que continha a mesma música que ela vivia a cantar, uma recordação para o momento mágico que tiveram. Maria voltou para casa e publicou seu dia, foi ganhando cada vez mais seguidores pela sua história e guardou seu novo presente bem ao lado de sua cama, para sempre dormir a ouvindo e lembrar de sua nova amiga mágica.

Upcoming series: Ena

In September, the filming of Ena began, a biographical series that will focus on the life of Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, queen of Spain through her marriage to Alfonso XIII between May 31, 1906 and April 14, 1931, after being the monarchy deposed later by the proclamation of the Second Republic. Great-grandmother of the current king Philip VI of Spain, of whom she was godmother at his baptism. Throughout six chapters, the series will tell the life of Victoria Eugenie and at the same time offer a portrait of a time that changed the world, the first half of the 20th century, from 1905 to 1945. Born on October 24, 1887 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, Ena was the daughter of Henry of Battenberg and Princess Beatrice, youngest daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Her godmother was Eugenia de Montijo, empress consort of France as Napoleón III's wife. The name of the series comes from what her friends and family called her since she was little, Ena.

The fiction is based on the novel of the same name by Pilar Eyre. Javier Olivares, who was behind the acclaimed Isabel and El Ministerio del Tiempo, will be the showrunner and plot manager for Ena. In addition to Olivares, the script is written by Isa Sánchez, Daniel Corpas and Pablo Lara Toledo. The series will be directed entirely by women: Anaïs Pareto, director of the series as a whole, in addition to four episodes, and Estel Díaz, who will direct two episodes.

“Ena is the portrait of historical moments that seem distant but are not so far away, because without them we would not understand the times we live in now,” Olivares declares in the press release sent by TVE. The writer and screenwriter remembers that Victoria Eugenie “fought to be happy in a bitter time, in which she witnessed two world wars, a civil war and a great pandemic, the tortuously called Spanish flu.”

For Pilar Eyre, author of the novel, she was "an extraordinary woman: cultured, supportive, liberal-minded, modern and very loyal." And she is excited because "finally all Spaniards can know" the story of a "misunderstood" woman. in their time, which they will always consider foreign." It is a fiction co-produced by RTVE with Ena La Serie AIE, La Cometa TV and Zona App. José Pastor, director of Film and Fiction at RTVE, has pointed out that "it is a "RTVE is proud to be able to portray this interesting historical character, from the point of view of two women directors and with Javier Olivares as showrunner, in one of its best series."

The Spanish actress of Anglo-Danish descent Kimberly Tell will play Ena and Joan Amargós will play Alfonso XIII. For her part, Elvira Mínguez will play Maria Christina von Habsburg-Lothringen, mother of Alfonso XIII. The cast is completed by Lucía Guerrero (Beatrice of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha), Raúl Mérida (Alfonso of Orleans and Bourbon), Juan Gea (Álvaro Figueroa y Torres, Count of Romanones), María Morales (María del Carmen Angoloti y Mesa, Duchess of Victoria), Pedro Mari Sánchez (Rodrigo de Saavedra y Vinent, Marquis of Villalobar), Luisa Gavasa (Eugenia de Montijo) and Joaquín Notario (José de Saavedra y Salamanca, Marquis of Viana)

Mariano Peña will play Miguel Primo de Rivera; Jaume Madaula will play the anarchist Mateo Morral, author of the attack committed at the royal wedding; Tomás del Estal will be Emilio María de Torres y González-Arnáu, and Ángel Ruiz will once again give life to Federico García Lorca, a character he already played in El Ministerio del Tiempo, among others.

The series will be filmed entirely in natural exteriors and interiors, like the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia), the Palace of Santoña (Madrid), the Palace of Fernán Núñez (Madrid), the Fort of San Francisco (Guadalajara) and the Magdalena Palace (Santander), built in 1911 by the City Council as a tribute to the monarchs and where Ena spent a good part of her summers in Spain, accompanied by the Royal Family. Filming for the series will continue until the end of December.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, the Magdalena Palace is going to be an important location during the series as a summer palace, the main filming location in Gran Hotel, and in that series Ena appeared in the episode 3×13, played by Aída Filx.

Apart from that, are we getting an Olivaresverse (XD)? Most likely not, and it's just references about his previous works as a showrunner, but there are connections between Isabel, Emdt and Ena: Michelle Jenner starring Isabel as Isabella I of Castile, then appearing in a couple of scenes in Emdt episode 1×04 and being an important figure in the lore as the foundress of the ministry (& Eusebio Poncela playing as Cisneros in both series, and also he played Cisneros in the film La Corona Partida and the Carlos Rey Emperador series); Alfonso XIII is a descendant of Isabella I of Castile; Ángel Ruiz appeard as Lorca in Emdt in 4 episodes and now he is on Ena playing as Lorca again, we don't know yet how much screentime he will get or which will his role be (secondary character most likely), but it's great to see more about him!

Creepypasta: Roblox Erro ID 17

ESTA HISTORIA É CREEPYPASTA, SE HOUVER ALGO PARECIDO NO REAL É PURA COINCIDENCIAS... e misterio..........

Eu sou o Pedro, Pedro Pedro. E eu nunca pensei lançar esta historia ao publico, se alguma vez jogares este Roblox ás 3 da manha, uhh digamos que estás FUDIDO. O Roblox é uma plataforma para as pessoas criarem os seus jogos e publicarem, mas ha algo que provavelmente não estás a espera por isso vou dizer agora a seguir.

Existem mistérios OBSCUROS nas profundezas do Roblock. Coisas que nunca provavelmente vais ver porque estao mesmo nas profundezas e nunca conseguirias chegar la sozimho... Mas......

... EU CHEGUEI.

Dia 17 de agosto, dia de são martinho. Ás 2 da manhã. Eu, Pedro Pedro, mais conhecido como PPedro250 estava com os meus compinchas MarcoPaulo_, Underposting e a Maria. Estravamos numa onda de diversão e nostalgia pelo roblox, obvesersaveanado (observando,, desculpa enganeime) os nossos mapas antigos porque como eu mencionem dava para criar os nossos mapas e eu e os meus amigos descobrimos uma conta antiga que tinha sido criada por mim, pedro pedro e pela amiga maria (o nome dela não é mesmo maria é só para protejer a identidade das pessoas porque esta historia é mesmo, como os ingleses dizem, fuckingd up!)

Essa conta antiga era uma conta de misterio, muito misteriosa, onde era tipo um mito (myths, roblocks myths) muito populares na altura. O seu nome era The4thTest, o que significa O Quarto Teste. Eu lembrome muito bem dessa conta, eu e a maria criamos 3 niveis na conta dele para contar o seu misterio e historia que criamos para ele... Eu ate tentei desenha-lo mas já foi ha muito tempo, onde era apenas uma criança de 27 anos. Agora tenho dessacete e consegui recuperar.

Ok então onde é que eu ia ah ja sei obrigado. Eu, Pedro Pedro e a maria (nome falso para protejer a amiga real) tinhamos nos lembrado finalmente da conta e decidimos dar uma vista de olhos nos mapas para mostrar ao nosso novo amigo Underposting, ele sempre foi o maior, haha! ":)" (isto é um smilei que é tipo um riso novo da internet)

O Primeiro nivel era o Fisrt Place, Primeiro Lugar. Onde nao havia nada mais que uma torre de merda e umas arvores da merda... mas havia algo diferente. uma pessoa morta do roblox no chao.. o que puto. que medo que tive. a maria disse que tinha sido ela a por por isso passamos para o proximo, o segundo. que nós pensavamos que era um com pilares, eu lembro-me dos pilares! Mas não era...

....

era uma simples montanha com um individuo maligno com fogo nas maos la em cima. estavamos todos a rir as garganhadas porque isto era muito mau mesmo mesmo muito mau :sob: mas agora chega a historia, sentem-se e ja deixem o joinha! (yay! /referencia)

Nos voltamos para jogar o terceito e ultimo nivel mas algo estava diferente, a foto dele estava igual mas a sua skin estava diferente. mas que sa foda aqui somos thug life!1

Decidimos entrar no terceito e ultimo nivel third place terceiro lugar, este sim era os dos pilares! nos lembravamos dos pilares mas quando entramos adivinhem... nao. era.

Parecia uma cidade inteiras! estavmos na rusia ou na polonia? que misterio! por isso decidi explorar, nem eu nem a maria nos lembravamos disto... como é possivel isto ter acontecido?! foi o mal, o mal dentro do jogo era real algo infectou o jogo e tipo agora ta tipo a espalhar e a construir outras coisas. no way (ingles para mas que raio!) Nos fomos explorar mais e encontramos uma casa medonha a flutuar 2 centimos do chao. com um ESQUELETO SUPER REALISTA. este jogo esta assombrado. foi quando eu ouvi um barulho a vir do predio maior. o hospital assombrado.... que medo.

Eu entrei.

Estava muito escuro la dentro, com uns enigmas na parede e lá no fundo uma porta completamente cerrada com madeiras... da para interagir mas não faz nada, eu estou curioso para ver as coisas macabras que este virus maligno criou. continuo a caminhar pelo hospital maligno, estou com medo. e os meus amigos estao me a acompanhar pela partilha de ecra (share of screen). até que... quando parecia estar a chegar a algum lugar.......

Occorreu um erro. Mas não um erro qualquer. o ERRO ID 17. Quando isso aconteceu eu logicamente tentei voltar a entrar, reconectar para os manos techbros. bro tipo o super mario lol. o meu ecra escureceu por completo. não conseguia fazer nada, nem fechar o jogo. eu dei panic (panico em ingles) e de repente as minhas luzes desligam, eu olho para o relogio e são 3 da manha. para quem não sabe as 3 da manha é a HORA DO DIABO,. o diabo é mau.

de repente aparece o the 4th test inteligencia artificial mas do mal a minha frente no computador, e ele esta a falar comigo e com a maria e os meus amigos (eles voltaram, foram desconectados mas voltaram foi bug) nao nao nao nos facas mal e ele disse não eu não faço mal. just kidding!" e matou-nos a todos.

fim

.

.

MAS NAO É o fIM eu acordei de manha outra vez e fui falar com os meus amigos e eles disseream que se lembravam do que aconteceu por isso foi ai que descobrimos que o erro 17 estava na verdade a protegermosnos de achar o grande segredo maquiavelelico que iria terminar com todos os videogames roblocks e o MUNDO. juramos nunca mais voltar a entrar no lugar malvado e as lendas dizem que ele ainda esta no jogo a multiplicar e a construir até conseguir dominar o roblocx.

fim?
