hey nerds (❤️) again, here's an essay from a polish magazine named Borussia, about german-polish relations, and the historic region... iirc, i read them way too long and i should read them again.
Erbe und Erinnerung – Preußen 2001/2002
(the index of the issue here Dialog oder mehr?, but most links are broken... I bet some can be found elsewhere tho, or with archive dot org).
#ref#hws prussia#aph prussia#oh this one its better than i remembered#before i tagged poland but the text is still mainly about prussia#its like a callout <3#time ago i also read a bunch of essays about the gdr but the one its worth sharing here#its about how east germany dealt w prussia over the years#but im not finding it today#that one its in english at least#tumblr stop breaking this plsss#sr. tnddr

Why do you like vampires specifically, what do you like of them?
the sucking and fucking
#ask#also many several deep complex reasons#and if i were to divulge into them i would actually never shut up#its the. vampyrisim being a metaphore for otherness. for queerness#them being originally created (in europe at least) to be cruel representations of jewish people - immigrants and eastern europeans - and#these people reclaiming them. the reclamation of vampires to be the 'others' the ones that are ostracized by society#and people finding solidarity in that. vampires are queer their entire mythology is inherently queer as well so its beautiful in its own wa#vampires were transformed from cruel caricatures with intent to portray the fears of xenophobic english men to#complex deeply thought-out characters that embrace their differences from 'humanity' and live in their true identity#remember when i said “i cant delve into this otherwise i wont stop talking” yeah sorry it happened anyway

antigone (sophocles, trans. barish et al) // riverdale s1e5 + riverdale s1e13
+ alternate ed.
#riverdale#cheryl blossom#jason blossom#antigone#sophocles#notnow#anyway in case anyone here had forgotten that i love riverdale im currently on my third rewatch#mildly cross because none of the english translations are getting across the simplicity of the greek one#its just. o tomb my marriage bed.#and cheryl rocking up to her brothers funeral dressed in white and throwing herself at the casket#and later trying to kill herself again with the same color scheme#is so. it can just be something very. its. yeah 🚬#personally i think she shouldve done unspeakable things to jasons corpse or at the very least tried crawling into the casket#but who even listens to me anymore.

Every single time I draw for an anime I think to myself "never again will I draw for an anime" and then I am proven wrong. So here, take my daughter Lulu.
#brave bang bravern#bbb lulu#how the heck do you tag for this show#i never feel like i do anime characters justice tbh so i get really self conscious about art i do for shows#but honestly whatever shes adorable please enjoy my daughter#i gotta finish watching it - im on ep10#and i am giving updates to two people on discord as i watch and i like hearing#i have no idea whats going on but its a wild trip at least#and im like yeah trust me as the one watching it i also have no idea whats going on and its a fever dream without the fever#an acid trip without the acid#i really have NO idea what the intended audience is for this show but lewis the love of my life#i will never be over the time you said Nani - oh shit#because one of my favorite things to say to someone i know who has a major in japanese is#nani the fuck - BECAUSE IT INFURIATED HIM the first time i said it and he was so upset#now he expects it and is fine with it but the nani oh shit will live rent free ... thank you sir mr american i love you#also not to spoil anything even though i probably dont have the brain capacity to do so correctly#i really liked when someone was saying some weird stuff to him and he just says im sorry? in english#me in japan just saying im sorry feels like it would track thats me thats the american im sorry

perhaps an unpopular opinion but i really think having no full voice acting (regardless of its quality ..) was a key part in the zelda game vibe for me and i dearly miss it
besides its obvious benefits of being cheaper and easier to do, its just got a specific feel of ... i cant really describe it, but i miss it alot ........ plus its basically impossible to ruin our sour a character through bad or unfitting voice acting ..
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#i will not mention how much i dont like the english voices#i will not say it again#i swear i am not a hater of the actors#but none of them fit into zelda/to these characters imo#i played on japanese bc i didnt like one german voice#its so easy to make an experience worse by having an unfitting voice#and it kinda robs the character of their personality?#like .. translation can do alot to damage that too but voices do that so much quicker and are harder to get right#and i really dont think its worth it#but i doubt they will go back to that#after all its big and mainstream now to do that and given how much the actual producers seem to dislike the old games#yeah no thats a thing of the past#lets hope they at least wont go for realism tm next#could you imagine .................... god i dont want to

Omg idk if you talk Spanish or if it’s just XXC, but with that little and wonderful doodle you gave me the amazing headcanon of XXC being bilingual and just randomly speaking Spanish out of nowhere and nobody understanding him
[TL: XXC says "don't do coke in the bathroom"]
Shout out to the Spanish speaking MXTX fans. I don't think this is remotely what you wanted. (bonus below cut, TW: Drugs)
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#xiao xingchen#xue yang#Ask#bonus comic#I'm not confident enough in my Spanish to really integrate bilingual XXC into the comic#but I love the enthusiasm and there are at least two ppl leaving spanish tags on my comics so...its soft canon here.#if spanish speakers want to throw good spanish memes at me for xxc I will do my best B*)#Maybe he transmigrated and tried to turn the tides of the story but met a even worse fate....#I like to think he teaches Song Lan Spanish to have a secret language like the SVSSS transmigrators with (broken) English.#The bonus joke here is that it doesn't matter what language the sign is in. XY can't read. He has severe dyslexia#Its not even real coke its just sugar. He's about to have a dreadful time. But the TW is just for the visuals#EDIT: THE QUEUE BROKE and I was outside with my hands in the dirt digging (around) tubers for my mum's garden. So i didn't notice#Happy Mother's day! To the mums and those without one this year <3

also i realize i'm saying all these noble and beautiful things about the channel from the purest depths of my heart. but actually i'm also just doing this because i fucking love the witcher books and it pisses me off that people don't know about them that much in english and i can only go for so long (seven years) with people not knowing that there are books. or that the witcher is from the 90s. or polish.
#'whatt i didnt know the witcher was polish. wait where is poland' funky music stops.#like statements that just crush your soul?? my god netflix did a number on the witcher's perception#'so is it based on the video game? the book? there is a book?'#'waaait the second season wasn't accurate to the books? wdym...?'#>knowing the witcher >knowing henry cavill >not knowing who andrzej sapkowski is#when the literal writing is like inseparable from polish and that's why the translation is so hard#when the literal story is like chock full of allegories and references to real life polish history#and it only exists because of a very interesting time in contemporary polish history#like i'm not mad at the PEOPLE who don't know about the witcher i'm mad about how it's been TREATED#with witcher 3's fame at least people who knew the game generally knew a little more maybe#with netflix it's like no one knew anything about the actual witcher and it was really really sad#i do blame the artistic direction but i also blame the marketing and the writing and everything to do with everything#because how are they supposed to know if no one told them. if witcher here has been so separated from what it actually is and is about#like why not just leave witcher alone and get into any other fantasy. there is so much other fantasy out there. witcher is just one of them#yes and that is the plan in 10 years time but#it's not just about reading for personal enjoyment but for what witcher deserves in the english language space now#the witcher series is about suffering but idk if its characters or IT ITSELF has suffered more#zoltan chivay voice 'there IS something like reciprocity after all'#witcher helped me so now i want to help it. i will not abandon you in your time of need !#maybe people know more about the witcher than i think and i've just been incredibly unlucky in my experiences but#people thinking there is only netflix and the third game maybe would be hilarious if it wasn't so fucking sad#IV

well the day started pretty fun, like sure the outfits were boring and the styling was lackluster but it was fun- i was excited for them. Now however hearing how the press was speaking to them I'm officially just pissed and disappointed.
#the thing outside of the fact that its just xenophobic and racist to say what was said#and to presume the boys not capable of speaking english#like even if they didnt the media should still be respectful and kind- not saying nasty stuff thinking it wouldnt be understood#you should treat everyone with decency and respect and they did not get that and that fundamentally upsets me#even if its not a shock its still disappointing#chan was so excited on bbl too and i know he heard at least one of those comments so Im sad for him

Whenever I feel bad about symptoms from my illnesses, I think of my sibling's horse growing up, whose name was Batman and who was so allergic to grass he had to be wrapped up like a christmas present every summer to prevent rashes. I don't know if that makes me feel better exactly, but if Batman could cope and continue to mosey around like the gentle old man he was, then maybe I can cope with being completely bedridden certain days.
#idk ANY english horse terms but if you google gotlandsruss thats the type of horse he was#he was such a sweet darling we have no idea who gave him the name Batman of all things#he came to us when he was 14#most of the horses we had when i grew up were named by us since they were born in our stables#but then you get the occasional ones such as Batman or Duchess Kash#(idk what the sport is called in english. harness racing? anyway thats the type of horse duchess was)#as the name implies she was a huge diva. super sweet with me and my sibling though! an angel!#which just proves she knew how to behave with others she just chose not to <3 just like Mirka#god i miss horses. and i miss harness racing. but mostly i just miss cuddling with horses and tending to them#on one hand its nice to not have to worry so much for their well being. and it IS a lifestyle or at least it was for me.#sometimes i dream of having like 2 or 3 shetland ponies just to dote on and go out with on walks#or like 2 swedish ardennes to put a cart behind like mom did with willmar a couple years back#those are so iconic for their long history in my village. not the only place of course. but its still so notable here#maybe one day who knows.......#im rambling idk why#silvi talks

(probably very problematic opinion on the english voices in totk
watching skittybitty's totk video for the 27864269th time and i STILL get jumpscared by the english voices, anytime anyone ever opens their mouth it just sounds like they took some random person they caught on the street to monotonely voice a line in one take, and sometimes one of them rly likes to pretend their are doing a voice but it just sounds like a little child imitating their granpa or someone trying to overact to their toddler, its especially sad for ganondorf, its hard to hear any of them for me but gan i start laughing and have to skip it bc thats NOT gan, thats me doing my worst evil guy impression, or zelda, thats not zelda talkign thats me doing a sarcastic uwu lil princess voice
to be clear, i have nothing agaisnt the people voicing them and i know people like the guy doing the gan voice but none of them fit at all and none feel like they are actually coming from the character, much more so you muting your TV and talking over the people on screen making shit up as you go for shits and giggles, i dont know what happened here, why are these SO bad, i listen to plenty of movies and games and whatnot in english and i only ever had a similar problem with the english voices of ghibli movies -though that could be bc im jsut so used to the german ones, which are fantastic- or maybe an extremely old game that was just weird on its own even
i take no pride in hating the voices, espeically knowing how badly voice actors are treated and often replaced with some shitty celebtrity, but i truly do not get why they are so bad, the voices themselves never rly fit, and even if it would be passable, they are all speaking in a way where it either sounds like they are some guy sitting next to you reading a line for the first time or overemphasizing so much it sounds like someone playing pretend with toddlers
and its not in an indie game where the devs did their best to voice people themselves bc they didnt have the money, this is nintendo, how is it still like that, bc even the ones returning from botw, are STILL just as bad, i dont know if that can all be the fault of the actors, its so weird to me
and it makes it even harder for me to believe that people take this game as seriously as they do or as emotionally affecting bc a, if not THE, biggest part of the fandom is made up of english speakers who would probably never even think about trying a different language
...anyway, i needed to say that at some point)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#ganondoodles rants#also not trying to make fun of anyone#i just CANNOT take any of them serious#to be fair the german ones arent that much better in this case#most characters were fine but gan also didnt fit at all there#zeldas french voice is pretty great#but admittedly i havent heard every single one .. or remember them clearly#the japanese ones are the only ones i fully played with though half my og botw playthrough was in german#which was fine but didnt work for totk bc .... gan#even his japanese voice could have been a bit more .. unique? like the little bit of voices in the older games sounded very unique#kind rough like an old smokers voice? hard to describe lol#he just sounds like an evil guy there too in a way but at least its spoken with so much emotion#maybe this is a me problem#i hate to be falling into the 'only japanese voices in anime!!' thing but .... welll i guess in this case i am#(.. arcane for example i only saw in english and it was fantastic)#(i dont get how nintendo cant find voices like that.. or whatever went wrong there)

another really cool thing: the plural suffix -saa ends up looking like an infix in some cases due to vowel deletion and metathesis. *inqwa, *inqwasaa > ivə, izva; *kwunkaa, *kwunkaasaa > kuga, kuzga; *khaari, *khaarisaa > kaale, kaasla. seeing irregularity arise spontaneously as a natural consequence of sound changes is neverending fun. i spend so much time just running random words thru the algorithm and seeing how they change with different affixes
#thats one thing that always bothered me abt my previous langs... how regular everything was#sometimes id throw in a random irregular verb or two but its not something you can fake convincingly i dont think#without actually evolving the conlang from a proto lang#like at this point theres more irregularity than not; ill probably have to put it thru a regularization phase at some point#at least for the most uncommon words#like how happened with a lot of english verbs#ramblings
