Hahah that's so fair

Um I love all abba songs I went to abba voyage not that long ago and loved it. I'm currently looking at going again. Might have to say my favourite one is thank you for the music I won a singing competition with that song

What's your favourite abba song?

Well, congratulations bc I wouldn’t win a singing contest no matter the song 😅

Mine is „The Winner Takes It All“ :)

Mmm… my favourite movie is doctor strange: multiverse of madness (in reality idk which is my favourite movie 😭😭) and I’m in love with wanda, natasha and spider man

When my friend told me, "You have to watch Marvel," and I was like, "venga vale”, my face when I saw there were 20 movies and most of them were 2 hours long...

I love the expression „venga, vale“ so much 😭

But - same. Especially since a lot of them are about men. Like, respectfully, but if I wanna see a dude with an ego problem I can also watch the news 🙈

My one true love is Groot tho 🫣

[lightcastlenineteen]

That is the right answer the way i love that film is not natural. There are very few films i can watch start to end without having to move around or pause it but mamma mia I can watch on a loop

I have watched it i dread to think how many times and watched the musical an embarrassing amount of times

Same same 😅

I also had a crush on Meryl Streep in this particular role. Was she nearly sixty back then? Yes

Did baby gay me cared? No 🙈

What’s your favorite ABBA Song?

Funfact: My graduation motto was „ABBI - We don’t need a comeback“ 🫠

[lightcastlenineteen]

Oh reina, I hope your week gets better!!

I need to confess something… I've never seen Star Wars and it's a saga that doesn't catch my attention

And I reallyyyy love musicals, so… I love mamma Mia and y he three parts of pitch perfect and also I’m a marvel fan

Y tienes que ver grease (si es que no la has visto)

You have what??? I’m wounded. My family is wounded. The universe is wounded! Just kidding. It’s okay, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea 😅

Fun fact to Marvel: When I met Mary, she was like „You have to watch AAA“. And I was like ok. But then she was like „but for that you have to watch WandaVision first & for that the Avenger films and for that the…“, so I ended up watching around 20 marvel films all for one WLW kiss 😂. What’s your favorite one?

I spend five minutes thinking grease is a Spanish word 😭

[lightcastlenineteen]

I just say you say any film with meryl streep. Opinions on mamma mia?

You don't have to answer

Hope you're okay

Mamma Mia I is ICONIC.

Does the story line make sense? No. Not at all. Not even a little bit.

But we all know it never really was about the story line anyways 😂.

The second part however…yeah, there was no need for that.

[lightcastlenineteen]

Hola reina, cómo estás ? How are you these days?What movies do you recommend?

Mal 😭 but thanks for asking, I hope you’re good! :)

My best friend is visiting me this Friday, so I’m really hyped for that!!!

Not a big movie girl ngl 🙈. Do the Star Wars films count? 😅 Abd everything with Meryl Streep! What about you?

[lightcastlenineteen]

big yes to sci fi and dystopia book recs pls and thank you

You probably already know most of these but:

- 1984 by Gorge Orwell: Plays in 1984 (which was in the future when the book was written). The people live in a surveillance state. Controlled by „the big brother“ who controls every of their steps. The story follows a guy working in the „ministry of truth“ which constantly rewrites history according to the leaders will (like literally, if the leader decides that water is red, every single picture/article/film/… gets immediately edited this way). And the guy seems obedient but then he starts doing something highly illegal - writing a diary, about his feelings.

- Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury: Plays in a future where books are illegal. Instead of fighting fires, firefighters are now responsible for burning down every house containing books. The story follows a firefighter who starts to doubt the system.

- Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro: Can’t really say much without spolering but omg, I cried so much. A read if you want to get absolutely destroyed 😅.

- The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood: Plays in the USA in the near future. The US-government got overruled by a group of totalitarian religious fundamentalist (commanders). Women lost almost all their rights. Even the right to have a say about reproduction. Fertile woman - the „handmaids“ - get forcefully married to commanders and have to bear children for them. But there is resistance.

- Story of the Bees by Maja Lunde: A dystopia that will probably become reality soon enough. It plays during three different times - a time where bees were common, a time where their number started to drastically decrease & a time where no bees are left anymore.

- Anything from Jules Vernes: In today’s age, those books would probably not be considered special. But he wrote them in the 19th century when a lot of the things he write about didn’t even exist.

- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley: Plays in a society where people are divided into social groups. From alphas who rule the world to epsilons who are treated like shit. To make sure that everybody acts according to their role people aren’t born naturally anymore. Instead they are getting breed and conditioned in specific centers. Alpha embryos are getting more oxygen than other embryos and so on. As a result, everyone seems perfectly fine with their life. But there’s one alpha who seems to be different. Plus, there are still parts of the world where people are born and raised naturally. What happens if those two worlds collide?

hey!! it’s been a few days (i think? maybe my perception of time is weird idk). hopefully you’re doing better!

my question for you today is what book do you think people should have read at least once in their lives? (mine is dune, even if one can’t get through it)

also, in a completely hypothetical situation, what are the chances that a guest at a chris brown concert gets convicted after attacking a steward? in this case there are multiple witnesses, but the steward did fight back.

Oh, it definitely has been a few days! You actually missed me dropping out of college in order to marry a rich man from Canada. 😔 You will be invited to the wedding tho!

If we leaving Animal Farm aside - Brave New World!! A book probably every person from an English speaking country had to read in scholl anyways but hey 😅

Well, hypothetically, I wouldn’t be surprised bc the more people the more idiots 😭. I hope the concert was awesome nonetheless!!

any good book recs? fiction preferably

I do have to confess that I barley read fiction but I really liked:

- Erebos by Ursula Poznaski (it’s originally German but there’s a translation!): It’s a mix between fiction and non-fiction bc there are scene playing in the real world and then scene playing in a fantasy video game. It’s difficult to explain but omg the plotwist. Everything this woman writes is pure gold.

- Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (again originally German): Seems to be non-fictional at first but definitely isn’t. Also huge plot twist. My comfort book growing up.

Those are two books I read as a teen (but are definitely suitable as an adult!!). If your definition of „fiction“ also includes science-fiction and dystopia hit me up bc then I can tell you like 500 more 😅.

[lightcastlenineteen]

Girl how do you always end up discussing the most complicated things on here😭

Bc that’s what people ask about 😭. I would also rather answer questions about my favorite book or series 😂.

However, I study politics and public law. So I’m pretty used to uncomfortable conversations 😅. My day isn’t even over yet & we already discussed if abortions are murder (law) and if communism is as social as communists claim (politics). But I guess, sometimes discussing is good :).

[lightcastlenineteen]

LC, how are we holding up? 🤠

My top-streamed song on Spotify rn is „Fine“ by Kyle Hume. So I would say there’s room for improvement 😅.

But, I slept 7h for four consecutive days now & run 12km twice and I’m quite proud of that! :)

[lightcastlenineteen]

This day is getting better and better 🙃

The coach of the German NT hates Frankfurt players. How good that there are barely any left 🙂.

[lightcastlenineteen]

Also OMG, new Wolfsburg jersey just dropped!!:

Fuck you Eintracht Frankfurt. Those players don’t leave bc they want to. They leave because you have failed to support your women’s team for years now. You should be ashamed.

“Eine Stadt, ein Verein gegen Sexismus” my ass. This “Verein” doesn’t even have a starting eleven anymore.

since you are a safe blog to complain about Barcelona: I so wish they would loose more. Their fans are so annoying immediately going nuts when they don’t win 5-0 every game. Especially on tumblr. All @codiemarin and @didalexiabreakupwitholgaisback do is complain complain complain. They clearly need to be brought back to reality. Liga F is a joke anyway

Uff, a lot to unpack here.

1.) I am a safe blog if you want to voice that Barcelona is not your favorite team. That’s okay, it’s not mine either. However, I am not a safe blog for you want to talk shit about a whole fanbase/other blogs.

2.) If you have to talk shit about someone, can you at least don’t add them? Now they get a notification & open my post just to see this. They are awesome, if you don’t agree just unfollow.

3.) I’m used to loosing. Hell, Eintracht Frankfurt Women haven’t won a single thing ever. Neither domestically nor internationally. And I’m still the first to complain about a bad game. Very loudly too. If you love a team it’s only normal to be upset every time they loose. No matter how often that happens. And I would even say this passion is the whole point of it.

4.) I watched the Barça men during the 2023/24 season. Believe me, every Barça fan who witnessed that is very much acquainted with loosing. Recently the women with the UWCL too. They know what loosing means.

Never thought I had to defend culers on here, but here we go 😅

[lightcastlenineteen]

Thanks for all the answers I got 🫂🫂. Decided to list them here in case somebody needs them too:

- Working out/running (can personally recommend that too, running has helped me a lot!)

- Fidget toys (a 50/50 for me personally. sometimes they are awesome, sometimes they overwhelm me. but it’s always worth a try!)

- Holding an ice cub against your forehand (ngl, I thought that would drive me crazy but it actually really helped!)

- Getting a strong hug (doesn’t work for me personally bc I don’t wanna be touched during times like this but could work for others!)

- Interacting with an animal (sadly I don’t have one but ngl, whenever I’m visiting someone with a pet I’m doing way better so…)

- Cold shower (hate them but yes, it worked)

- Tense & untense your body (I’m doing that almost automatically by now 😅)

- Noise-canceling headphones (yep, big recommendation too)

- Talking to people (always good in my opinion)

- NSFW: Orgasms (haven’t tried yet but honestly, the thought makes sense & people say the realized endorphins really help)

Since tumblr also seems like a place for the mentally unstable (like me lol) 😅 - I have a question:

Does anyone on here have (safe & legal) tips for what to do when you just wanna crawl out of your skin? Like, when every sensation seems to much & not enough at the same time? Can’t really describe the feeling, so I’m hoping you guys get it 🙈.
