From the language ask game:

☾ : favourite word from your language

♧ : favourite word from the english language translated in your language

✌ : favourite proverb/saying from your language

☮ : translate the first lines of your favourite song in your language

Oooh, thank you! These are all good ones!! Let's see...

☾ : favourite word from your language

I have technically already answered this here, but since I have tons of favourite Italian words, you get another! Specifically, arzigogolato, which means convoluted, especially when talking about a thought process (e.g. un piano arzigogolato, a convoluted plan). I really love that the word itself looks and sounds convoluted (especially when you write it in cursive!), I love the double go sound and the rz pair at the beginning, and I love that it makes me think of another nice Italian word, gomitolo (= ball of thread/yarn). It's just so needlessly dramatic and I adore it.

♧ : favourite word from the english language translated in your language

Oh boy. I have tons of favourite English words, but most can't properly be translated in Italian, lol. I really love English pet names, more than I like Italian pet names, as a rule! My favourite is darling, which I guess could be approximated with 'caro/a' (lit. dear) or tesoro (lit. treasure). Neither of those are quite as gentle, though.

✌ : favourite proverb/saying from your language

Oooh, a fun one! I'm not sure I have a favourite proverb (there's TONS of Italian proverbs and they're all pretty good), but one I say often is 'Dio dà il pane a chi non ha i denti', lit. 'God gives bread to those without teeth [to eat it]'. It's the sort of thing you say when you witness somebody who has an abundance of something that you need but doesn't want it/can't enjoy it, if that makes sense? It's a complaint about the fact that sometimes life is unfair and things go to the people that don't need them. Technically speaking there's also a secular version that simply states 'chi ha il pane non ha i denti', 'those who have bread have no teeth', but I like invoking the name of God at random to complain about my life.

☮ : translate the first lines of your favourite song in your language

Surprise surprise, I have tons of favourite songs! 😂 One that I thought might work for this experiment is The Way You Look Tonight (there's tons of versions out there, but my favourite is this one, by Bing and Dixie Lee Crosby):

Someday, when I'm awfully low When the world is cold I will feel a glow just thinking of you And the way you look tonight

Un giorno, quando sarò davvero a terra Quando il mondo sarà freddo Sentirò calore solo pensando a te E a come sei stasera

What can I say? I'm a romantic.

[Language asks]

#the thing about having favourite words/songs/sayings in languages is that they're heavily dependent on the language itself #to me at least #by which i mean that i might like the meaning of something but the main component in what makes a word/song my favourite #is the *sound* of the words #how they feel in a way #which is impossible to translate (although one can come pretty close at times)#that being said this was a really fun bunch of questions to answer!! and it made me think about the relationships between languages #and words which is always tons of fun!!#i'd like to know what your favourite english word/saying is if you have one!#and thank you very much for asking :)#ask game #personal

(also feel free in the tags to clarify Why you made the choice you made!! :0c)

#polls #tumblr polls #For me I think the top ones would be the House. The Money. or the Friend Group. But I ultimately might would go for the house #JUST becuase it would be my Dream House which means it would already meet mostly all of my specifications #and what I might be looking for. which would save a lot of time searching or customizing/rennovating.#Also because I could use that as a way to leave the US lol.. like .. if I get to choose my dream location.. couldnt I just choose some othe #country?? But I wonder how that works. Can you legally 100% have full ownership of a property in a country yet not be a citizen of that #country?? Would you show up and be like 'erm.. i own this house.. so i shall now live in it' and theyd be like 'uh no. you cant live here #despite owning the house. leave.' ??#So I think the initial process of 1. scraping together funds to actually MOVE myself and my most valuable belongings physically #TO another country. and 2. figuring out how to STAY in that country . might end up being difficult.. BUT. if I could just work that #part of things out then.. dream house?? security for once in my life?? stability?? :0 #Though the $1mil is enticing it's also like.. I feel .. with the way housing prices are now... that's not much???#it's a lot I guess if you plan on like.. investing half the money and staying in an apartment for 5 years while you grow your wealth #or something. but if you're a 'I Need Stability NOW' ready to settle down person who would be most interested in owning a property rather #than nice clothes or a car or whatever other investments you could make then.. eh..?? It seems like unless you're okay with living in #a small town or kind of far away from the city - even some SMALL houses in majorly populated areas in the US will be like #$600.000 - $900.000 or something. like that would be MOST of my money. Which I know you could just pay partially and make #payments on it but idk.. in the option of just outright owning the house it seems like it'd end up being cheaper.#Plus I would want to own it fully asap because I'd be afraid of losing it somehow otherwise. like it being taken for medical bills or #something. which I thought was supposed to be - not IMPOSSIBLE - slightly more complicated legally if you actually have #paid off the house in full. I guess the issue then would be utilities and property tax and such. But I feel like thats overcome-able??#Like I could just stipulate that my Dream House has a little furnished addition or something and then find someone #with money and be like 'Look you can live in this extremely nice area with amazing ameneties and updated everything and ALL you have #to do is give me money to cover the utilities and property tax.'' or something like that. Like the little furnished addition is nicer #than the actual house. they have their own pool and spa and movie room or something and Ill also cook all their meals for them #or whatever (how luxurious it would be depeneds on how high the property tax actually is/how much I would need to entice them into #why it's a good deal for them to pay it for me lol). idk... something like that.. ANYWAY #I asked a few people I know though and one of them answered they'd rather have a romantic partner. the other one said they'd like #to be able to choose someone to die lol.. So I'm curious what people value the most

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well

bonus under the cut:

#i'm not sure if ford would really be interested in using the internet much #but i could see him wanting to look something up real quick and ending up reading something so outrageously wrong #that it pisses him off to the point that he gets into an argument about it lol #gravity falls #stan pines #stanley pines #stanford pines #digital art #my stuff #anyway i really don't like how this one turned out #but i don't feel like changing it #bc i already spent way more time on this than i actually wanted to #and i don't wanna look at it any longer

missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉

#art #twisted wonderland #twst 5th anniversary #i'll stop for a while now i promise i just wanted to get this out #genuinely feels a bit weird to be 5 years in already huh!#that combined with having finally finished up episode 7...#oh no all the milestones hit at once help #hold on while i reminisce for a moment #because MAN i did not expect the anime disney boy game to become so special to me #(especially my little wet rat dragon and his family)#to be fair 2020 onward was uhhh let's say prime timing for a piece of silly and unapologetically indulgent media #(not to get too real here or anything but let's just say that. some of the stuff in 7 specifically did hit a bit harder than it should've.)#but also just. you know how it goes.#sometimes a thing doesn't so much speak to you as it reaches out and grabs you by the throat #with an intensity that shocks and bewilders no one more than you #and sure you can ignore it because having any emotions about media beyond faint scorn is of course the epitome of ~cringe~#but you could also just throw yourself wholeheartedly into it #and lemme tell you one of those options is a hell of a lot more fun #idk i'm just kinda rambling here #it's been a weird five years but i'm glad to have had these guys for it #and hey if nothing else it gave us meleanor #the inside of my brain at any given point is just the 'do it for her' meme covered in pictures of our late great dragon princess #i would not have it any other way

Poppy playtime got a guy worse than William Afton

#myart #chloesimagination #comic #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf fanart #springtrap #william afton #harley sawyer #fnaf 3 #poppy playtime #poppy playtime doctor #poppy playtime chapter 4 #So I saw the new poppy playtime chapter #and I think the plot and characters finally worked for me #really sparked my interest #I DONT love all the directions that chapter takes #but can we all talk about how cool the doctor is #AND BY that I mean how truly twisted he is #William’s crimes somehow feel small now #in the face of the company that just experiments on just kids #the doctor is awful in every way sick and twisted #and I think that’s epic #just the idea of William hearing the shit playtime co got up to #like I think the scale of it would genuinely shock him #even if he’s interested in that science as well #I may draw a lil more poppy stuff as a treat we’ll see

‪a few chapters into sunrise on the reaping and the conclusion I’m coming to is that while katniss keeps *a lot* to herself, 16 year-old haymitch was a chronic oversharer. he dropped in ONE chapter more of the entire district’s lore than she did in 3 books

#while they’re similar in some of their actions katniss tries to conceal so much what she feels that she ends up hiding it even from herself #while haymitch is much more open and honest to himself in this sense #which is also interesting when you compare it to tbosas’s narration in third-person #because (as many people must have already stated) snow lies so much he can’t even be trusted to tell his own story‬#idk I just find it interesting how even the way the story is told is a sign of how she shapes the characters #haymitch abernathy #sunrise on the reaping #sotr spoilers #thg sotr #katniss everdeen #the hunger games trilogy #the hunger games #catching fire #mockingjay #suzanne collins

i miss the static youd get from kissing old tvs and the buttons and the av cable ports and how some of em had built in vhs or dvd players and the volume they had and huggability

#kae.txt #i brought this up to my mother the nostalgia of having one and she was like yeah...ive thought about getting #one just to have cause i feel like it might be something i would be able to understand how to repair easier than a modern tv #no basis for why she thinks this but i get it. that and also for an old game system she might want lol #genuinely do feel this way but i cant act like it wasnt a thought spurred on by The Character. speaking of

TW: Heavily implied Child Abuse

Stowaway AU where Pacifica becomes a stowaway on the Stan-O-War 2 after trying to run away from home to California. Things don’t exactly work out as planned, but at least she’s got a “Summer Internship” away from her parents now!
