Thought the Clue Crew might appreciate this!

My aunt gave me this carry all trunk from the 1950s. I got very excited, when I got closer and realized what its pattern was…SCOPA CARDS! I only knew this, thanks of Nancy Drew.

I was way too proud of this knowledge. 🃏

"Be’, all'inizio una persona comincia a piacerti sulla base di, appunto, sulla base di alcune sue caratteristiche, no? L’aspetto fisico, oppure come si muove, o l’intelligenza, o magari una combinazione di tutte queste cose insieme. Sicché all'inizio a farti sentire in un certo modo nei confronti di una certa persona sono appunto quelle che tu chiami caratteristiche, cioè aspetti di quella certa persona. [...] ma poi arriva al punto che…cioè, se quella persona arrivi ad amarla, allora è come se la faccenda si capovolgesse. Cioè non è più che apprezzi quella persona per via di certi aspetti di quella persona; piuttosto è che cominci ad apprezzare gli aspetti di quella persona perché apprezzi la persona. Tipo come una cosa centrifuga anziché centripeta."

(David Foster Wallace, La Scopa Del Sistema)

Naramis Headcanons Return

My favorite pastime is matching on Hinge and forcing them to listen to me talk about Naramis

The first time they held hands it was awkward as fuck.

They couldn’t get their fingers to lace together in a natural and smooth transition.

And Mista has sorta big knuckles that felt like they were squeezing Narancia’s tiny hands.

So they decided that they’d rather just physically lean on each other than hold hands, anyways.

Narancia steals Mista’s sweaters on especially chilly days.

They hate sleeping in the other person’s room because they’re used to their own room.

So when they do want to sleep in the same room, they play Scopa.

Loser sleeps in the winner’s room.

Narancia ALWAYS wins.

He’s a certified Scopa genius.

Mista always agrees to play Scopa because he just likes seeing how happy Narancia gets when he wins.

And because he is determined to win against Narancia one day.

Mista doesn’t know how Narancia got so good at this one particular card game.

He’s bad at all the others.

And Narancia won’t tell him.

It’s not because it’s some dark secret or anything.

Narancia is just holding out for when Mista beats him.

Oh, you want to know why he’s so good too?

Guess you’ll have to win a match against Narancia.

is there a Nancy Drew game which you hated at first but came to like over time?

for me it’s Phantom of Venice - I hated it when I played it for the first time, I didn’t like the goofy elements of it and the story didn’t seem memorable. But now it’s in my top 10 easily and I love it for the same things I used to hate it for lmao i find the goofiness adorable now :) talk about character development 😌

Altro che 'dopo lo facciamo cantare per bene poverino :(((', andrebbe squalificato. Non so dove Amadeus abbia trovato la calma necessaria a non prenderlo a calci in culo fino al dietro le quinte, perché è quello che avrei fatto io.

I’m fucking crying I can’t.

I found this-

-on Pinterest and I can only assume this analysis came from here but like. Bro. Bro. That’s the fucking Queen of Cups. On Italian cards. Used to play Scopa. In Italy. Where Luca is set. The fishermen were playing Italian cards. Because they’re in Italy.
