#german side of tumblr

[culturefrancaise]

Je me retrouve à écouter cet album pour la première fois depuis une éternité. Ce matin, sans raison, j'avais une partie de "Stop, babe" dans la tête.

"Easy" me rappelle "Right where you left me" de Taylor Swift. Elle a aussi l'amertume de "Stressed out".

Tokio hotel c'est beaucoup, beaucoup de souvenirs. J'ai été très fan jusqu'à environ 2017. Cet album, si attendu, avait été une déception. Je n'en avais rien de foutre d'entendre à quel point Bill Kaulitz s'est drogué et planait tout le temps partout dans des soirées en Californie. Je voulais des chansons un minimum plus profondes que ça, plus sentimentales peut-être. Et puis un album de dix chansons seulement, après des années à faire poireauter les fans ? Ça sentait le poil dans la main. Ça plus leur actualité, ça montrait des gars qui n'avaient pas envie de travailler, qui comptaient pomper les économies des fans les plus loyales pour continuer à entretenir leur train de vie de luxe plutôt que de faire de la bonne musique.

En 2020 j'ai unfollow Bill pendant le premier confinement. Plus on passait de temps renfermés, plus il se montrait dénudé et prétentieux. Il m'a gonflée et j'avais pas envie de ses conneries dans ma vie.

Pourtant je reste nostalgique, et quand un nouvel album sort, j'écoute.

Et s'il y a quelque chose que je ne peux pas enlever à Bill, c'est qu'il s'en fout de ce que disent et pensent de lui les gens, il reste fidèle à lui-même. Et ça, ça m'a aidée énormément quand j'étais ado et jeune adulte. Par rapport au harcèlement scolaire, mais aussi... Bill, c'est ma première exposition à une personnalité queer (si on oublie le personnage de Thomas dans Plus belle la vie), presque dix ans avant que je ne découvre ce mot, avant que je ne me découvre queer. Quand je l'ai vu brandir fièrement notre drapeau en festival à Berlin l'été dernier, j'ai été très émue et fière de lui.

Ce qui me manque, c'est la communauté des Aliens. Il y en a sûrement plein qui sont passées à autre chose, ou qui ont maintenant pas le temps de poster sur le sujet avec leur boulot et leur famille... mais les modifications énormes apportées à Twitter n'aident pas du tout. Je ne vois plus aucun tweet d'Alien, et j'ai aussi du mal à retrouver les tweets sur l'actualité du patinage artistique. C'est le bordel.

J'ai une pensée pour Skyblog, pour les blogs d'actus qui publiaient quasi quotidiennement, pour les traductrices qui nous aidaient à comprendre les interviews, vidéos, etc. Poir celles qui ont choisi allemand LV2 et qui en ont fait quelque chose, et celles qui ont regretté parce que l'allemand c'est difficile. Pour toutes ces fanfictions qui m'ont enchantée pendant des heures et des heures et qui sont désormais perdues à jamais.

Bref, s'il y a des Aliens ici... Coucou ❤

Hey! German Tumblr! Where can I watch Spatort? I remember last time I ended up watching it on the official website without the need for a VPN because why the fuck would someone in England want to watch Gay German CSI? But that required lots of googling to find and I've gone on too many brain fog inducing prescription drugs since then to have that kind of energy.

They had Paprika Pringles in Tesco's, and Apfelstrudel and Palatschinke in Lidl so I'm feeling like just doing a German Night. And what better thing to go with it then the Shovel Gays?

Don't worry about English Subtitles or whatever, I did my Erasmus Year in Hessen so my German is good enough to understand the TV Show but not good enough to form whole Tumblr posts.

Danke Schön!

I really want to watch all those Tatort episodes the Tumblr girlies talk about all the time. I just don't know where.... The despair. Unimaginable.

SALUT BONJOUR AND BONSOIR NEIGHBOURS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST THING THAT CAME OUT OF OUR FRIENDSHIP :D!!

To German speakers

Serious question: how do you think, before you talk?

I've been watching German tv series and reading German fics, so my reading and listening comprehension is improving.

But.

German syntax is puzzling. Extremely so.

I know the grammar rules, I do! But my mind automatically goes subject + verb + object + conjunction + subject + verb + object when I want to speak.

When I write, I have time to reflect about the correct order of each word (and pieces of a word!), but trying to speak and remember where every part of the speech goes, and the right declensions… Impossible.

So, any advice?

Bird side of Tumblr: can you tell me what bird this is? A friend found them in their garden.

(seems to be domestic because of the foot ring).

Did I just frickin find the actual keyboard shortcut for ç by accident

[badassindistress]

Were it not for the Fatigue, I would inventarise how many of you all actually live at a decent distance for costuming party purposes

[murphyslawyer]

why didn't that idiot just fucking kiss me in Rome? I think I'm going fucking crazy

Another kudos to Finnish language for having an actual translation for fast food instead of a transliteration. (Literally means - "pika" - fast, "ruoka" - food.)

Ugh I was excited for today until I found out I'd have to spend it with people that actively make me hate being alive hate the future and drain me off all energy physically mentally spiritually like a vampire I can't stand to be around her she is the definition of stupidity and even then that's generous as fuck this bitch has filled her brain with so much garbage I watch her brain cells die at alarming rates every single time she uses her vocal cords her giggles make me want to jam a sewing needle into my ear repeatedly so I can never have to hear it again its a friendly reminder that my parents decisions this time my dad's constantly makes me want to die

[todaviia]

I know this is just such a minor thing and I've said it before but it's just SO crazy to me to see people who completely unironically reblogged stuff like "If you have thought about Harry Potter at any point after 2011 that means you're a fascist antisemite who loves blood libel" then go "gunning down unarmed Jewish civilians at a music festival is morally wonderful and anyone who disagrees is a Nazi."

After studying Mandarin in uni I’ve forgotten so much of it, does anyone know how to keep up with it? like a server or a group or a study buddy

As I am once again writing some things for my own original characters & the setting they're in, I am once again reminded how fuckin' furious it makes me that so many germanic countries can't look at their old (pre-christianity) culture with love & base their own creative work on it without nazis ruining it for everyone by claiming it for their rancid selves.

I personally only feel comfortable adding things from old urban tales from my birth state (Saxony-Anhalt), because they are very specific and have not been ruined for me yet.

To this day I am thankful that my mom held onto a lot of old library books that the local library got rid of. Without "Die Vergrabene Truhe" (a book with a big number of tales from a very small part of my state that I grew up in) I wouldn't have a good chunk of the wonderful untainted concepts for my own stories - Farmer's dragons, forest spirits that turn the body parts you attempt to harm them with to stone, pond/lake/river mermaids (who are equal to the danish Nøkken in concept), witches (of any gender) being extremely morally grey yet are still respected... just to name a few of these things.

Maybe one day I'll feel comfortable sharing all that writing with more folks than just my close friends.

the rain trickled through the sky outside as i lay here, unable to sleep.

its been nearly two weeks since the accident. my tine at the hospital was short, but the pain was unbearable.

sleep is difficult when you're injured. laying the way you usually do is barred until you heal enough for the pain to subside.

do not push yourself. you will hurt yourself more than if you had just given up.

the rain grows softer. my thoughts grow louder.

i only pray i can sleep tonight.
