In ordentlicher Krabat-Manier habe ich heute morgen schweigend mein Osterwasser geholt - Auf das mir ein Jahr Glück und Schönheit winkt!

Like a true Krabat fan, I went and silently fetched the Easter Water - May it bring me beauty and luck in this year!

Die kleine Hexe is an autistic legend.

She misunderstood her task to become a "good" witch because she took it literally and then proceeded to not only become the kindest witch ever but also to hyperfixate on her spellbook so hard it only took her a year to memorize over a thousand spells.

Krabat!!!!! Now!!!

Do you know what I love about Ravka? It reminds me of my childhood. I'm not Russian or from Eastern Europe or knew anyone who was whilst growing up, but I had this audio book "Die Abenteuer des starken Wanja" which is a reading of the novel by Ottfried Preußler (go check him out if you haven't already). The book is basically a fairy tale which follows Wanja on his journey of becoming the next Tsar of the land behind the white mountains.

And like every time there's a mention of kvas or a samowar or the tsar or Russian names (one of Wanja's brothers is even named Grischa) or even the Saints (which mirror the (orthodox) Christian faith of Wanja and his community) in the Grishaverse books or series, I'm reminded of my childhood and of how I used to lie there with my sister and just listen for hours on end.

I am forever grateful for this book series and the show and I want to thank Leigh for the nostalgia.

Btw this audio book may also be the reason I love Anastasia so much because Wanja really made me appreciate the pre-1917 Russia vibe.

Books read in March <3

In Love with Adam by Liam Erpenbach

Krabat by Ottfried Preußler

Rosenfluch (The Romeo and Juliet Society 1) by Sabine Schoder

I actually managed to do quite some reading this month! All three books were a really nice read, but my highlight was probably rereading Krabat, since I read the book when I was younger and really liked it (then and now)

oc asks: character design edition! In her Jujutsu-Kaisen Verse Senritsu wears a ravenfeather instead of dandelions on her hatband, instead of a blouse she wears a Buscherump and the Tippelei-earring in her left ear that is usually just a golden earring that is traditionally used by journeymen to pay for their funreal in case they die before becoming a Master, is in that verse specifically the Miller-crafts-symbol: a small golden millwheel behind a sack of flour. The raven feather: In the sorbian storis of the Sourcerer Krabat he and the other sourcerers were able to turn into ravens and would everynight, after they had worked at the Black Mill during the day, turn into ravens to be teached spells by the Millermaster. That of course does not make sense in the JJK-World, but its a nice marking for a organisation.

Miller-Tippelei-Earring: A Tippelei Earing is used as a way to carry money on the person and in the case of Journeymen it is "the amount of money one needs to pay a proper burial". As Journeymen are not allowed to earn / own money for as long as they are on the Great Wandering, the earring is a safety measure to pay for their funreal. In the Krabat myth, the millerboys were bound by the Millermaster to be prisoners and the Millermaster would very new-year-eve sacrefice one of the millerboys to Gevatter Tod to extrend his life for another year. In the case of the European JJK-Sourcerers the story is a great warning to not rely on one great sourcerer or one great leader since like in the story, there is a chance of them misusing their skills for their own gain. Krabats story is also in nowdays germany a story that is readin school as a preperation for history lessons to start the topic of the Nazi-time , so the avoidance to give all the power to just one person and avoiding another "millermaster", but also beein g part of a group of young people swayed into dangeoruse philosophy by the promsi of greatness turns into a even more intense warning. Ottfried Preußler, who took the Krabat Mythos and turned it into the youth-neovella nowdays read in school was himself born 1923, so he wrote out of his own expierences in the HJ, him serving as a soldier in WW2, and his memories from beeing a warprisoner.

Buscherump: A Buscherump is a blue and white striped fisher-shirt that is usually worn by fishers in northgermany, holland, frisian and denmark. Its part of rough, pragamtic workwear. Due to its durability its also normal day-wear for hard work. After listening to the SOnata of Darkness Senritsu had been picked up by Sourcerers living by the Northsea-coast so she just wears the shirt out of habit since it does not easy rip.

Boah ich hab so Lust noch mal die Krabat Verfilmung von 2008 mit Daniel Brühl zu sehen.

Nicht nur das Buch war super (wunderschön zarte Töne in all dem Grauen. Und eine ganz leichte Sprache für all die schlimmen Dinge. Otfried Preußler ist einfach klasse, von ihm stammt übrigens auch die kleine Hexe), der Film ist auch so schön verstörend und düster und hoffnungsvoll 😳👏

Dieses Thema, das Magie eben auch böse sein kann und man damit Schaden verursachen kann...

Also, wer den Film noch nicht kennt, klare Empfehlung.

Kann man sich hier übrigens kostenlos ansehen

Can you tell us more about the Krabat rock opera 🥺

sure! :) it's a pretty small production by the Junge Bühne Sindelfingen and I would probably not have heard about it, if my friend wasn't starring in it (he was one of the miller men). it was loosely inspired by ASP's Zaubererbruder album but all the songs are completely new and written by the some of the actors. The mastermind behind the whole thing is the guy who plays the master!

they didn't really use any of the books as inspiration but the old sorbian tale itself. The rock opera was divided into two acts, the first one was how Krabat ended up at the mill, how he met the girl and how the master had her killed. full of rage he ended up stealing the masters book and running away. then there's a timeskip and in the second act we follow an adult Krabat going back to the mill. He was supposed to kill the master and take his place and then he has this internal struggle of wanting more power and wanting the people and the miller men to be safe and free

for such a small production it was so well done and the music and special effects were great! since it was so small though, there were very limited dates of when they are performing. but they plan on releasing all the songs on spotify around fall, so i'm looking forward to that. the guy behind it is also planning on selling the whole thing so it can be performed on bigger stages in the future!

they have a website with trailers and song snippets and all, but it's only in german. you can check out the trailer here!

4 and 16 for the ask game from like 2 days ago :3

aww thank you for still doing this ily <3333

4 - What piece of media inspired you the most?

I mean if we talk just about fandom then it's quite obviously Marauders. Though I do have to say that my other dearest love Les Mis had an unexpected huge influence on my fics recently (mainly on operation wanker) despite me not even writing about les mis.... it just kept creeping back into my thoughts and poking at little details in my writing. currently my inspiration is Krabat (specifically the book by Ottfried Preußler) cause I'm writing a (jegulus-ish) Krabat AU

16 - What were your go-to writing songs?

I have a writing playlist which mostly consists of the hp soundtrack (which has been my study music for the past 10 years or so) and the pride and prejudice soundtrack. Other then that I went a bit playlist hopping, I had some time where I only listened to a playlist by @perfect-snaccccccc (this sun shall rise) and then for the past couple months especially it's been one of @otrtbs' playlists (Art Heist, Baby!). I do sometimes make my own fic playlists but I don't really use them for writing all that much if I'm being honest...
