Thank God Eurovision happens only once a year because I definitely wouldn't handle this pain again

Behold, the European platonic ideal of a frog.

[wilsonwandmagician]

so team europe really went out there with an order of play decided by a child, the daniil's curse to defeat, the power of friendship and a dream...

no one is doing it like them.

p.s. daniil reaction is pure gold

My pictures of Dir En Grey in Paris, Day 1 (22.03.24)~

Day 2 pics here.

(my quick thoughts on the shows below the line)

I went to both Paris shows (VIP on day 1) and it was hands down the best experience of my life so far. So amazing beyond words. To not only meet my favourite band of all-time in the flesh, but to also watch them perform from the front row on the 1st day (and still very close to the stage on day 2) felt so surreal. Seeing them perform some of my favourite songs of all-time (including dead tree, my number 1 favourite song) was so overwhelmingly amazing I cried multiple times. I got acknowledgments from Die, Toshiya, and Kyo for screaming so loudly every time they came to our side of the stage, and I can't describe how affirming it felt. Since yall follow me on here, you know how much this band means to me, and especially Kyo. This man is my biggest inspiration in regards to both his music and his artistic self-expression. I've never been so inspired by a musician before; I've never been this obsessed with a band before. This was a dream come true, one that I never thought could happen. Thank you so much to this most incredible band. No band will ever come close for me.

I love your art so much! Ringo and Tom maybe? :0

I headcannon Ringo loves Tom the second most >:3

what a coincidence i ALSO headcanon that!!

Tom had to take care of Ringo for a few months while Edd was working on finding his own place. Ringo still loves Edd the best, but she likes Tom too!

Learning Languages at School, European Edition!

Requested Poll

*Context from requester:

Hi there,

recently there was a poll about learning a second language at school (I think it was primarily for people in English-speaking countries) and I thought it would be interesting to see what learning languages looks like specifically in Europe. So, I tried to think of as many answers as I could without it turning into a multiple-question poll (like: when did they introduce the languages; what about dialects etc; if there is some kind of classical schooling in your country; —you're welcome to write about that in the comments, I'm curious about that too).

The basis premise is that we all know we're learning our country's language (unless you're attending an international school or a linguistic school that teaches you other subjects in another language).

I want to ask you about other languages you've learnt at school! (Also, please don't kill me for the assumptions made here. The poll is based on my experience and what I learned about one or two other countries, specifically.)*

*I had 2nd (English) and 3rd (French/German/Spanish/Other language) that my school chose for me.

There is an EU petition to "establish a European tax on great wealth" and use the money to "combat climate change and inequality"

All these haters, including Lesyle Headland, make the Jedi bashing even worse because the Jedi are inspired by inspired by Asian culture, aka my people's culture and religion. Buddhism is NOT Catholicism. And to see the Jedi portrayed by an Asian woman in episode 5 get horrifically killed by Darth Annoying Asshole aka Qimir (who is portrayed by an Asian man also), Master Sol portrayed by a Asian man, and there's a Brendok witch who died in episode 7, and portrayed by Amy Tsang, an Asian woman, plus all the awful Jedi hate ("the Jedi are BAD, confirmed" NO THEY AREN'T!!!) just makes me wonder about how Disney, a Western company (run by several racist, ignorant assholes) and Lesyle Headland (thst racist BITCH) makes me really wonder about how white Westerners feel about Asians. My people and their culture deserve better than how white Westerners treated them!!!

you said it all.

I wish she would understand the complexity of your culture, which, as you said, it’s the inspiration behind the jedi order. :/

Sometimes you just gotta make a little creecher, just a silly little toast bread-shaped guy 😌

Finally got around to try the awesome pattern by @shinybulbasaur, except I only still had Creechur fur scraps left, so he's uh, very aerodynamic :'D (Pattern is right here! Go make creechurs folks! <3)

I discovered this wonderful sapphic novel called Mrs. S,” written by K Patrick. I love the writing style; there are no quotation marks, and it's very stream-of-consciousness, which I find makes the story more immersive. There's not much in the way of plot, mainly just vibes. It's set in a boarding school, and it follows the relationship between the butch matron and femme headmistress. This book is so good that it's actually homophobic that I didn't find it during Pride Month! Anyway, if you haven't read it already, go give it a read!
