bringing myself to tears by listening to Paavos Barkbrö on repeat

[valejaloittelija]

työpaikan lounasravintola oli runebergin torttuja tehdessään lätränny karvasmanteliöljyllä nii että puoli tuntia lounaan jälkeenkin yhä kirvelee suussa. pääruokana oli lihaa chilikastikkeessa eikä se tuntunut missään torttujen rinnalla

lisäksi tortut oli kuivia

kyllä tästä iloiten maksaa 13,50 €

[We even took out the bar that we had, and we put it over here to replicate the same bar, so our regular customers yet, runeberg realized that the hour was not yet come. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.]

shoutout to people who cannot just eat desserts normally and will meticulously go through the effort to disassemble them instead to save the best parts last🫡🫡🫡

https://runeberg.org/ is the nordic equivalent to project gutenberg!

they have literature in swedish, norwegian, danish, finnish; a couple in estonian; and if you don't speak any of the nordic languages there are some books in english, german, latin and french as well!

(If nothing else you can click through to bask in all its web 1.0 glory)

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

Rosen bröt du för din glada syster,

valmon höll du sjelf.

Rosen, flicka, tyder lif och kärler,

valmon köld och död.

Anar du ej hjertats fröjder, — eller,

bleka engel, säg,

äger du vid femton år ett öde

att beteckna ren?

Named after the acclaimed Finnish poet, the Runeberg cake is a small, cylinder-shaped delicacy prepared with a combination of wheat and almond flour. The cake is characterized by strong ginger and cardamom flavors, and a tender, dense texture. This dessert comes in various shapes, and the essential addition to each cake is a dollop of raspberry jam, enclosed by a layer of plain white icing.

Believed to have been invented by the poet’s wife, this flavor-packed national treat is usually enjoyed throughout January leading up to Runeberg’s birthday, celebrated on the 5th of February. src.: https://www.tasteatlas.com/runebergintorttu

"The witch's cottage has apparently a special meaning - it embodies often, like the witch herself, that feeling of ghastliness and numinous terror which is inspired by the wood. But the territory of her power extends beyond the cottage - her wider and more important sphere is the wood." -Arne Runeberg

Sulhasensa sylissä tyttö itki, valittaen kovaa kohtaloaan: "Viime yönä, ystäväni, paloi minun taloni, paloi karjani, kaikki, voi, kaikki, mitä tässä maailmassa omistin." Poika iloitsi sydämessään ja ajatteli: "Jos on tyttöni talo palanut, kaksinverroin rakastaa hän minun taloani; jos tuhosivat liekit hänen suuren karjansa, kaksinverroin ilahtuu hän minun karjastani, jos hän on kadottanut kaiken muunkin maailmassa, kaksinverroin kalliimpi olen minä hänelle."
