I’m probably just over complicating this exercise but I’ve asked for an extension and if it works it works

[msue0027]

Can i be picky, pricky, mean and bitch a little? Pretty please?

So, I've watched x-men apocalypse (wow, I'm soo early to this party). It was nice, and look, there's my country (so of course I'm gonna have opinions). And well. I've been reading fanfics, and as i skim thru the tags i see Nina Gurzsky, and then again, and hm again, and who tf is Nin... Oh, NINA, as in Erik's daughter. Wait, Gurzsky?

What kind of surname is that? Because it's not Polish. (but we can fix that.)

I know in comics Magda is of Romani ancestry but i don't remember it being mentioned in the movie? So i guess she's polish-polish. And "Gurzsky" looks like she's 4th or 5th generation of emmigrants to america, has let everyone pronounce the name anyhow which led to diff spelling, and doesn't speak polish anymore.

(Really, who came up with that name, I'd like a word. What was your reasoning, your reasearch, the background you came up for Magda? Maybe it makes sense and is justified to be like that? Maybe I'm wrong, don't have all the info, misunderstood something? Then I'm really sorry.)

Nonetheless, let us begin. Gurzsky

So i guess anglophones just skip this surname all together, but let's try to read it. It would be something like goo-zh-ski or goor-zz-ski. Both are bad and hard to pronounce. Why is the "z" there? Why complicate it unnecessarily? Let's drop it (some ppl would do it anyway, even if it being there was justified, it's called simplification and it happens when there's many hard consonats next to each other, or something, i'm half asleep). My brain did it intuitively upon reading this name. It shouldn't be there. There's no reason i could see. So it's Gursky now.

Ehh. How many times? "-ski" is traditional ending of a polish surname, and used to indicate nobility. "-sky" is traditional transliteration from cyrylic alphabet, it's for the russian surnames. (And the ending "-sky" came there from Poland.) (I'm very passionate about that, sorry not sorry. But don't get me started at another polish surname "-cki" bc americans always pronounce it wrong. That “c” is separate letter and not just “k”, and i don't think i can find corresponding sound in english language (so you might be forgiven) and i don't want to bombard you with IPA (never mind, next day me kinda wants, so, it’s like “ts”, or german “z”), especially that it's not main topic of that post. But really, you could put some effort. We know the language is very different from your own, with weird sounds, but please, try. We're gonna love you for that. For one word. Anything really. Well, you already know “kurwa”, so maybe one more. Sorry, i digress.) So, it's "-ski", but not really. This type of surname changes based on gender. "-ski" is masculine, and "-ska" is feminine. Yes, not always, there are women with “-ski” and men with “-ska”, but then it does not flex at all (same form for both genders). You just have to ask. But that's minority. So now it's Gurska.

And surnames don't have to follow general rules of orthography and flexion, they can have their own unique spelling and way of decletion, you need to ask the bearer of the name. But. They still usually do. So looking at that name? It begs to be the deriving from mountains: góry. So it should be Górska. Pronounced: goor-skah. Now it is a Polish name. A good one.

So. I'm gonna use this name for that little family. It's canon for me now. Magda Górska and Nina Górska, and Erik was going under Henryk Górski. (Kinda cute if you ask me.)

Oof, I'm done. That was long. Thanks for coming to my little ted-talk, hope you enjoyed :))

(ps. i have rewatched scenes set in Poland, and Erik actually intrudeces himself as Henryk Górski, which means i was right but also why have a made this long-ass analysis? It was fun tho, and too much of my half asleep brain power went into this not to post it.)

This summer has given me a new appreciation for trains. I love trains, trains are the proof that the world is a kind place after all. If trains didn't exist I would suffer greatly and be miserable, so thank you trains because you are real.

A little gift for you :) (sorry if the characterization is wrong)

Sky is sitting in the grass, admiring the flowers--er no weeds Wild called them, and taking in the breezy air. It's quiet, no monsters snorting and yelling, no Hylians talking, laughing, or shouting. Just the chosen's breathing and the wind rustling the blades of grass. His thoughts trail from the weeds to the chain.

There's Time with his great leader skills, a familiar friend to the skyloftian. The others often joke about Sky and Time being the parents of the chain (Platonically of course). Sky finds that the old man’s stoic facade was a mask, worn to hide his hurt. Time hasn't revealed everything of course, but Sky knows enough to see a traumatized child underneath all of the masks Time decides to wear.

There's Four, who's eyes flicker with different colours seemingly all the time. Icy blue often represents his fierceness and temper, amber red represents his tears and smiles and innocent looks. Deep purple, almost violet represents his focus, intelligence, and calculating decisions, and then forest green represents unity. Sky finds he's quite curious with all this, but he knows not to ask. Instead, the chosen takes to learning what to say and do when the smithy needs help.

There's Twilight, with his incredible strength, and friendly persona. He often scolds the champion or the sailor, or just sighs and says he's getting grey hairs. Sky has seen the ranch hand throw enemies across the battlefield, lift things that should be impossible to lift, and he even said he defeated a Goron in a wrestling match. But, a look from Time can make Twilight shrink, and stay quiet. Sky thinks-no he knows Twilight and Time must have some history. Especially since the rancher often tries to imitate the old man's looks.

There's Wind, the kid who wears his heart on his sleeve. He'll cuss even when he's told not to, he claims he's a pirate. The chain tend to "baby" him the most. Sky knows he does it too. Don't get him wrong, the sailor is very capable of fighting and staying alive in deadly situations, and he thinks the others know that too. But, the thought of losing a child to this adventure...even letting the kid get huge scars makes Sky's stomach churn. The sailor's said he's been on two adventures, one with the aid of a talking boat and the other with the aid of a fairy and another pirate. Sky actually likes to hear the kid tell these detailed stories about his adventures. (Only he avoids the gruesome parts)

There's Legend, the veteran hero who wields many many tools and uses his experience with ease. The vet has been on six adventures after all. Legend had been a mystery for awhile, but Sky had managed to change that. He found that under some of his sharp retorts and bickering was an attempt to balance things, and to hide his vulnerability. Sometimes to make the heroes laugh, or to keep them in line. The skyloftian also likes to cuddle with him. Yes, cuddling, he likes that a lot.

There's Hyrule, the sassy but cautious traveller. From what Sky's heard, his Hyrule is barren, and his life has been spent, constantly trying to survive. At first, the traveller was nervous and wary of everyone, but after a bit of time together he relaxed more and began to trust them. Sky has never really been close with him, but they share a small bond.

There's Warriors, the captain. He can go from being stern and on captain-mode, to being a goofy older brother who will happily tease his siblings. Sky had found out that he has a lot of trauma from a war, and has been betrayed by some of the people who he had trusted. But, as the group became closer, the captain found more confidence that these heroes would not betray him and he become more of a brother than a captain.

There's Wild, the feral champion who cooks most of their meals. The cook has explained where he got his scars from, why he gets memories from time to time, and why there are ruins in his Hyrule. But even despite that all, he'll eat mysterious mushrooms off the ground, go exploring without a map or a plan, and rush into battle a bit recklessly. Sky can only imagine how many grey hairs Wild's given Twilight and Time. But the cook is quite intelligent with survival skills, and he's so good with a bow, almost never missing his targets.

At the beginning of this adventure, Sky was dreading the entire thing, so sad to be away from the love of his life, his childhood friend, Zelda. Or rather Sun now, he supposes. And sure he’s ended up missing her dearly, playing his harp in melancholy, but it wasn’t as bad as he had originally thought.

"Sky, Sky!" Wind yells, startling the chosen out of his trail of thoughts.

"What is it?" Sky asks, turning around to face the sailor with a smile.

"We're playing a card game, but we need more people! Can you join?" Wind says, grinning.

"Sure."

Sending love cause you deserve it

i'm aware how lucky i am to have never been short of food (in my parent's house) and always been taken relatively good care of so the fact this is a new experience to me means it's one of privilege. but my dad hasn't bought food in days and he just showed up at my door to ask if i had alcohol requests from the shop in the village ?? hello if you're buying alcohol i'd like to request something to eat
