What would be the most common activities for children at the playground and how to ask kids to do it together? Like the game of catch-up, or swinging together or hide’n’seek or else…

Ciao! I made a few videos about children's activities, you can find them on youtube (but also on this blog here, scroll down a little: you can find the English translation too. But I linked each post in the video description on youtube). Not sure if these are all still very common among the kids, but it's worth a try! You can ask kids: Giochiamo a prenderci (let's play catch-up)? Giochiamo a ruba bandiera (let's play steal the flag)? Giochiamo a nascondino (let's play hide'n'seek)? Giochiamo a "un due tre stella" (let's play red light green light)? Andiamo insieme sull'altalena (let's go together on the swing)?

You'll find more named in the videos, together with their explanations. Generally we ask "Giochiamo a" (let's play....) or "(Bambini/Ragazzi*) Vi va di giocare a...?" ( (kids)would you like to play...?) *(in general the plural masculine includes also the girls and the other genders, but ofc you can say "bambini e bambine" or "ragazzi, ragazze")

YT links: 0/6 intro 1/6 (ruba bandiera) 2/6 (un due tre stella/stai là) 3/6 (Sasso carta forbice = rock paper scissors; strega comanda colore) 4/6 (nascondino) 5/6 (guardie e ladri) 6/6 (palla prigioniera)

Let me know if this answers you or not!

Could Luigi Mario survive Castle Dracula?

This seems like a really excellent opportunity for Luigi Wins By Doing Nothing

Luigi can do everything Mario can do backwards and in high heels but he is a huge coward. Large spooky buildings haunted by malevolent entities are both the thing he's terrified of and his opportunity to shine.

The crucifix is easy. Not only is he Italian, not only can Luigi not say no to people, but no Mario Brother ever refused a power up.

Does Dracula have indoor plumbing? Does Dracula need indoor plumbing?? Well, maybe he does now. Luigi has his work cut out for him, but the next guy will have significantly more ease making his toilet. All this to say, I think Luigi can easily be gainfully employed for two solid months and thus justify Dracula keeping him around.

Luigi is not going to be picking fights without some desperate need. Luigi is going to be cowering. He might well go exploring, but if he does, he will be cowering all the way. I find the whole May 16th thing something that would very believably happen to Luigi.

Mario gets the faked letters and they just say "your brother is in a different castle." Maybe for extra irony they also contain a p-wing

Luigi is the tall one, which is convenient when Dracula decides to steal his clothes because it makes them much more likely to fit him. I want you to close your eyes and imagine Dracula going to town to post letters and steal babies and such dressed as Luigi. It's so much better than impersonating Jonathan because when you're dressed like that, nobody's gonna pay attention to your face. They even both have mustaches it works!

And then once Dracula leaves Luigi can easily make it out because he is an expert platformer. There's no good reason for him to need to be rescued as often as he does because the vast majority of the time he and Mario are mechanically identical. Except in Mario 2 where his jump is better and his dig speed is worse. Which only makes him better at Castle Dracula.

Anyway, Luigi can survive Castle Dracula by doing nothing. Like, there isn't even any lava it's fine.

WOOF, bowser’s hard to draw haha

based off THIS post’s text when i was looking through my bowser tag

bowser: i am the swoon master! the regent of romance!

luigi/ mr. L, taking hold of bowser’s horn and cupping his chin: ciao bello. sono qui per il tuo titolo~ ❤

google translated italian: hello, handsome. I'm here for your title~ ❤

bowser: w-LUIGI!?

explanation if you weren’t sure what was happening:

bowser’s boasting about how good he is at flirting

luigi/ mr. L shows up and starts flirting with him, saying he’s going to steal his crown/ title of swoon master/ regent of romance.

Schneider's family ; The significance of Marian

REVERSE 1999 SPOILERS AHEAD : FOR CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 ! Please tread carefully and make sure you only read about what you're willing to know.

I know we're all still completely in shambles from Chap. 2, but I wanted to make a speculation about Schneider-- and a comment about how well she's written !

Let me start with this: In many pieces of media, viewers, listeners and readers alike are told that a character has people they care for. They're told a character has a lover, a wife, kids, a family, a sister. We're told the same about Schneider: that she has 11 older siblings, and that she works in the mafia to support them.

However, it's very rarely that we're given a name and a face for these supposed loved ones. And even rarer is it that they're written well, not just as a ploy for empathy, but as their own character: Ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed guests: I present to you, Marian.

Marian is one of my favorite characters just as a stand-alone: she's realistic, she's anxious, she clings to Schneider like a lifeline-- but she's brave, too. I'd love to do an in-depth analysis on her another time, but we're here for another reason.

Marian, first of all, shows us what Schneider's family is like. How they were raised, what they believe in, who they depend on. Soft topic, I know, but as someone of Italian lineage, it's very important to me that I point this out: Marian is extremely religious.

Immigrants of every kind tend to be religious. It gives them much more faith than they ever could have: a new lifeline. They managed to make it across such a winding sea? Oh, thank the lord. They haven't been kicked out of the Americas for emigration? Thank you, holy one. There's so many more reasons for this than "they need something they don't have"- maybe the fact that the rendition of god in every religion is said to love everybody, not just those who were born into wealthy families with the bluest eyes and the blondest hair.

When in a moment with no reason, and all different kinds of desperate measures being needed.. Schneider does what her family coaxes her to. She prays.

(I can't find a screenshot, but please refer to the iconic "I didn't know you prayed" scene, and the screenshot directly below this sentence.)

I also want to point out a large difference between Schneider and her family: Schneider's perspective on a 'god' differs so, so much from her family's.

She looks to whoever may be above, in her world, scornfully-- at least, in the present day. In her past, there is a particularly impactful line I want to debunk.

"The god there ... loves the world." Schnider's family seems to believe that god was the one guiding them, the one who will forgive them-- Schneider believed that it was a whole different entity. This kid believes that the god in Sicily, whoever they may be, does not love the world-- and mio dio, if that's not fucked up, I don't know what is.

And, when Schneider comes to America and sees that shit isn't as it's cut off to be, she's resentful of whoever this god may be. She gives a pray as her last bet-- what her family wants.

And it's not that she doesn't believe in this god-- no. She just doesn't believe they love her.

"Finally forgive me" -- Finally being the key word here. She's lived all her life never being treated to mercy or being 'forgiven for her sins' -- and at her most fragile, exposed moment, she relents to what her family has taught her. To what she truly believes-- to Sicily, to Marian, her sorella. Maybe even all 11 sorelle and her parents.

And, again, they're different at face value. Marian is calm, kind. She dresses modest and has her hair grown out: she's timid, too, not befitting of a mafia boss. She's different from her younger sister.. but she's still important. She shows us another side of Schneider: and, more importantly, she shows us what-- no, who Schneider is fighting for.

Marian provides us with extremely beneficial background context of where Schneider comes from-- and, in that process, gives many of us someone to empathize with. Yes, I too know somebody at least a little like her. You do too, likely.

Maybe, you're even like Schneider-- maybe she's someone you'd aim to protect.

,,aaand that's the little lore rant. Whew! Now to study for my math finals. I hope you have a good day :)
