Uh. So I guess this technically isn't @jackredfieldwasmyjacob 's Idhun Musical but I've really wanted to share this for a while and it is from Falsettos which is a musical so anyways.

This is based on a fic-verse called Bidhun where Jack and Kirtash are in love with each other. This takes place when Victoria had already woken up but was still very weak. Anyways enjoy. (Ima post the last one later cause Tumblr only let's me post 10 lmao)

Spoiler Time Sunday: Romance in Idhun

Answering a big one from The Idhun Chronicles? Is there romance? Who is in involved? Is it just fantasy? It's all here! 📚📺 #idhun

[mordcore]

listening to memorias de idhún

angry at alsan for the way he's teaching toxic masculinity to jack. angry at alsan and seíl for how they're failing to meet any of jack's emotional needs or even to recognize them most of the time. like ffs take that kid to a park even like, once. just teleporting to earth doesn't set off kirtash so just. go to a fucking zoo with him even like, once. it's really not that hard. yes i know neither of them wanted to be stuck raising a 13 year old traumatized boy but if you won't put him in an orphanage somewhere on earth where he can't be traced to from his previous place of residence, or like therapy or something, at least take him to see the sunlight once a month or something. no wonder the boy's getting eaten up by hate and rage.

and like he understands that it sucks but not the extent of it.

its horrible but like in a cathartic way i think. helps me understand and recontextualize a bunch of things of my own.

Lo peor de desarrollar una hiperfijacion con algo relativamente poco popular es que o te dedicas a crear contenido que quieres ver del fandom....o al final estareis los mismos 20 mataos obsesionados mirando las mismas publicaciones del 2012 con 10 notas cada una hasta que se pase la hiperfijacion jajajaj

I need book recommendations. I need a book that was written BY a native Spanish-speaker FOR Spanish-speakers. Children's books are boring, but I'm not at the same reading level in Spanish that I am in English. I think my Spanish reading level is like a 12-year-old who wants to read more sophisticated books but doesn't have the vocabulary or formal education to read adult novels. Something like Animorphs level for example. But originally in Spanish. I hope that makes some sense. Sorry if I'm being demanding but it's Been Rough I love you thank you in advance for your time

I'll recommend the few that I know

Followers do you know of any other books/series like this?

-

In my mind the only book series I can think of that's a bit like what you're looking for is the Memorias de Idhún trilogy by Laura Gallego

You can look more into Laura Gallego, she has a lot of more fantasy style YA books that are very popular and she's the one that comes to mind immediately for me

The other books I know of for kids are more... scholastic? There's Esperanza renace by Pam Muñoz Ryan which is a little bit historical, very based in reality, and it kind of feels like a formation novel if you know the term

The other one that I do recommend though it is not what you're looking for exactly is La casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, which is very engaging, a little slice of life, a little bittersweet, kind of poetic, and it doesn't read like an academic novel it feels more like the book Coraline or something written for a younger audience without being babyish

(But in either case I would say make sure you have a dictionary with you or wordreference pulled up when you read just so you can look up anything you don't know/understand since vocab and some grammar might be outside of what you know... but hopefully not so academic that it's tedious)

I'm not usually up on contemporary Spanish YA. Most of the ones I know of are translations of other series/books

🍄 🏜️🦴 :D also happy birthday !!!!!!

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

Ohhhh do I have headcanons… <— voice of someone who has so many.

I think Jimmy’s partially deaf after the explosions of the ravine, and Sausage totally brushed up on his codlish sign language for new and fun ways to keep fighting and insulting each other <3

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Gosh. Is it silly to say all of them? Rarely is there ever a comment that doesn’t bring me joy. I adore liveblogging style comments, or viewers who point out phrases that stand out to them and how those lines make them feel!

As an author, it can be easy to forget that your words have impact and that there are people who enjoy your work in particular, and these types of comments remind me in the most delightful way!

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing? 

SO MANY.

There are many recent-ish ones I could name, but I’d say one of the most joyful things as a writer is to go back to something you know you loved as a child and realize its themes follow you and your work. So, here’s a few from my childhood!

-“Birds of a Feather”, episode 52 of Batman the Animated Series

-The Last Unicorn (1982) and the original book by Peter S. Beagle

-Memorias de Idhún trilogy and Dónde los árboles cantan by Laura Gallego García

-A Walk in the Clouds (1995)

-Fairy Oak series by Elisabetta Gnone

-“That Which You Must Not Call”, “The Moon-Splitting Festival” and “The God Enshrined”, episodes from Natsume’s Book of Friends, season two and four

-El alquimista and El manuscrito encontrado en Accra by Paulo Coelho

-There’s this little book that I had and lost at some point, I don’t know where it went or what it was titled, but it was about a little unicorn who didn’t have a horn (?) or perhaps had an unusual one (I remember most of the characters had horns of silver or gold) and at the end got blessed with one made of… lapis lazuli? Platinum? It’s been well over a decade and a half and I’ll never find it again, but the sense of wonder in that story stuck with me. I think about it often.

Thank you for the ask and the well wishes!

It’s my birthday! Writer’s Truth or Dare!

[ailec-12]

5 and 11 for your ask

Thank you!

5. Top five formative books?

La naturaleza, by Gloria Fuertes.

Memorias de Idhún, by Laura Gallego García.

Alas de fuego, by Laura Gallego García.

Les misérables, by Victor Hugo.

Not a book, but a set of poems my father gifted to my mother when they started dating.

(Weird mix but these are the works that first got me thinking about the writing rather than the plot.)

11. What are you planning to work on next?

I should say the next chapter of House Potter, but I'm still itching to write something romantic. At the same time, I only have a few ideas sketched out and I don't have the energy to come up with any kind of plot, so working on House Potter sounds easier at the moment. I'm also toying with a scene for Hotchpotch. And I have another WIP but I'm afraid the poor thing is on hold until I finish House Potter.

So many ideas, I know! What would y'all want to see me working on next?

MEMORIAS DE IDHÚN

Un poco de nostalgia por aquí, la tríada de Memorias de Idhún, esos libros que recuerdo como un sueño febril.

A veces me viene a la memoria alguna escena súper bizarra de Memorias de Idhún y siempre me autoconvenzo de que me lo he inventado, pero cuando voy a comprobarlo suele resultar que la original es incluso más bizarra que mi recuerdo

(via Jack)

Do you know Jack from The Idhun Chronicles (Memorias de Idhún)?

[spanishskulduggery]

what are some spanish books you'd recommend? (i'm probably about a high schooler in terms of reading comprehension, but if you have any difficult/gritty recommendations, that would be perfect) muchos gracias :D

(An anon sent in a similar question looking for B1/B2 level books)

One of the better contemporary authors of what you might consider YA fiction is Laura Gallego García so I'd recommend her especially if you like fantasy.

I first found about her from Las memorias de Idhún. If you're on Netflix, you can see an anime based on it called "The Idhun Chronicles" - and one of the main actresses is Michelle Jenner who is an extremely well-known Spanish actress [she played Isabel in the well-known historical drama Isabel about the Catholic Monarchs in Reconquista times]

If anyone has any other suggestions, please write them in

Other books/stories you might like:

Esperanza renace by Pam Muñoz Ryan

Como agua para chocolate by Laura Esquivel

La casa en Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

La sombra del viento by Carlos Ruiz Zafón [fairly advanced]

La casa de los espíritus by Isabel Allende [somewhat advanced]

El Conde Lucanor by Don Juan Manuel [advanced at times; but it's styled like fables or multiple short stories]

El burlador de Sevilla y el convidado de piedra by Tirso de Molina [advanced at times with language, but very easy to follow; also a play]

I would also say look into translations of things like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or Hunger Games [Los juegos del hambre] and other YA fiction that is more geared towards highschoolers and teenagers because the language used is not as complex but still really useful. Also, many 1st person novels are really good for showing you the yo forms of a lot of verbs especially irregular verbs.

Also some people really recommend El alquimista "the Alchemist" in the Spanish version by Paulo Coelho. It's a very well-known book for high schoolers though it is somewhat advanced in places

PS Also gotta recommend Hombres necios que acusáis by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. It's a poem, but it reads like the rawest slam poetry you've ever heard and also still frighteningly relevant in feminism

-

You may also enjoy short stories. If one author has multiple stories I'll just include the name once in the list. Some of these are translations of other short stories you'll probably know of which helps the comprehension better!

El rubí by Rubén Darío La ninfa El velo de la reina Mab La muerte de la emperatriz de China El palacio del sol

Blancanieves [Snow White] by the Brothers Grimm Rumpelstiltskin Pulgarcito [Tom Thumb] La Cenicienta [Cinderella]

Cuentos by Esopo [or, "Aesop's Fables"]

El barril de amontillado by Edgar Allan Poe Los crímenes de la calle Morgue La máscara de la muerte roja

El loco de Sevilla by Miguel de Cervantes [a story within a story; it's from Don Quixote, but it's a very well-known vignette in the novel] La pastora Marcela [also a story within a story; some frame of reference, Don Quixote is riding around and comes across a funeral and people are accusing a shepherdess Marcela of spurning this dude's love and he couldn't handle it - Marcela then appears out of nowhere and drags everyone and we love to see it]

Cine Prado by Elena Poniatowska

El regalo de los Reyes Mago [The Gift of the Magi] by O. Henry

La sirenita [The Little Mermaid] by Hans Christian Andersen

Caperucita Roja [Little Red Riding Hood] by Charles Perrault La Bella Durmiente [Sleeping Beauty]

Las mil y una noches [1001 Nights] by Anonymous

La muñeca menor by Rosario Ferré

El almohadón de plumas by Horacio Quiroga

La noche boca arriba by Julio Cortázar

Los dos reyes y los dos laberintos by Jorge Luis Borges

Biblioteca Digital Ciudad Seva

This is my usual go-to for reading classics translated into Spanish [there's also the Gutenberg Project if you're looking for ebooks]

Just some general advice:

-Anything by Cervantes is quite old and you will need to find a more modern version or you'll end up with some very antiquated spellings and grammar. He wrote Don Quixote and some other short stories/plays, and all of his mini-stories from Don Quixote are the same general difficulty.

-I do love Borges but for God's sake DO NOT read El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan "The Garden of Forking Paths". It is advanced, and confusing even for native speakers. I mean this is a story people dedicate a thesis on to try and unravel. It's the kind of thing that you read, you read the wikipedia/rincón del vago entries, and reread and still get confused

-If you're feeling like you want a good challenge, try reading El Popol Vuh which is a book of Maya myths/history/etc, and it's an extremely important in indigenous cultures and history. People have called it the Maya Book of Genesis [though be aware the original translation was done by a Dominican friar named Francisco Ximénez, and there are some modernized versions]

...

Also, speaking of Rincón del Vago is like a Spanish version of Sparknotes. I'm not saying you should be using it to do your homework, but if you happen to find something like Alice in Wonderland / Alicia en el país de las maravillas you can read through the entry in Spanish as reading practice
