Different Italian anon, but the thing with Tuscan C is that it's pronounced like a very strong H sound, which is extra weird cuz the letter H makes no sound in Italian, normally. It sounds the way Spanish pronounce the J. We say it's "aspirato". So then people from there will say things like Hoha Hola (coca cola), and it's funny. It's also extremely contagious, I got family in Florence, you spend 3 days with them you start doing it too before you even realize.

Can you please do a Yandere!Catherine of Aragon from "The Spanish Princess" (I really loved Charlotte Hope's portrayal of her) with Only Son!Reader (platonic) love letter? Maybe where the Reader is betrothed to a foreign princess and is 8 years old(? You can choose his age) when the divorce was finalized and Henry dotes on the reader's every need.

My dear boy,

I write this letter with all my mother's love, hoping that I find you well and in good health. My soul rejoices at the thought of you, my precious son. How I wish I was by your side right now, watching you grow, educating you and sharing our moments together. I feel compelled to express how much your absence tears my soul apart.

Despite the circumstances that separated us, know, my son, that I have never diminished the love I have for you. You are the light that illuminates my world, the inspiration that keeps me uplifted in the darkest moments.

I am afraid I won't be there to witness your growth, to share a mother's wise advice, but I fully trust the greatness that lives within you. May your heart always be guided by kindness, compassion and wisdom. I trust your father will raise you well.

My greatest hope is that you are learning, growing, and becoming a man of virtue, wisdom, and compassion. I pray every day for your happiness and success, my dear son.

Your character, your strength, and your wisdom are sources of pride for me, even if I can't witness them in person. May your choices be guided by honor, respect and justice, always keeping the flame of our lineage alive.

Please know that even in the face of adversity, I am always by your side in thought and heart. May God bless and protect you, my beloved son. May these words meet you with the same tenderness with which I write them, and may you know that you will always be the center of my love and my prayers.

With all my love and longing,

Catherine of Aragon.

San Sebastian, Federico García Lorca, 1927

“Let us agree,” Federico Garcia Lorca wrote, “that one of man’s most beautiful postures is that of St. Sebastian.” “In my ‘Saint Sebastian’ I remember you,” Salvador Dali replied to Garcia Lorca, referring to the essay on aesthetics that Dali had just written, “. . . and sometimes I think he is you. Let’s see whether Saint Sebastian turns out to be you.”

The two men had a “tragic, passionate relationship,” Dali once wrote—a friendship pierced by the arrows of Saint Sebastian.

Hey y'all! So I am still in touch with the kidlet I used to babysit, and last time we talked I used (what I am pretty sure was) slang that is more his generation than mine and he initially laughed a little, then I could visibly see him process that I was the one who'd said it and he started giggling uncontrollably and repeating what I'd said, so of course I want to learn more slang I can drop in conversation with him We were playing Stardew Valley and I killed a skeleton or something, and he said "Skeletons will die if you hit them with swords" so I said "skill issue" (or something like that? it's been a few days I could have a few words wrong, but I definitely said skill issue and he was not expecting it) So yeah any more modern but not tumblr-specific slang y'all can recommend I drop into conversation with an elementary schooler to make them laugh at the idea of a grown up using slang?

“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” - Man of La Mancha

Painting: from the picture book «Don Quixote» by Svetlin Vassilev

This quote is often incorrectly attributed to Miguel Cervantes book Don Quixote but it is actually from the musical "Man from la Mancha" from 1965, which is based on Cervantes book.

my beef with ipa comes down to the fact that i simply do not like, conceptually, that there is a contrived writing system intended to capture every single sound in human language. i would much rather just mix scripts (like throwing a fully english word into a korean sentence and vice versa) i UNDERSTAND why we don't (thus i can forgive romanization etc [to a degree]) and i also understand why in academic contexts such a writing system is quite valuable.

in actual life, however, there is simply no need to represent all those sounds, and you're simply better off learning the native scripts of languages whose influence you encounter frequently

After watching the episode I thought about making this drawing, I really loved it and it's a shame that the characters will most likely not appear again, but I'll leave my puzzle piece here and wonder if anyone else drew something similar, but if not, would you also be interested in making drawings placing your puzzle pieces?

Give me your solitude, or better, the space between your lips, the skin of a thigh, something to cover me. The gesture that flows from desire, something solid, graspable, exterior, something yours to prop up my rootlessness.

like i know it's stupid to care about a job especially a job like this. but i did. im only human. i put so much of myself into it and the payoff is what. to be sold off like an asset. why did i ever think these ghouls would care about me? just because it's a smaller company? they don't fucking care.

one of the guys from corporate went around the room and pointed out people who've worked for the company for 7, 9, 10, 12 years. right before we were all handed our termination letters. ghoulish
