#or Schnapped if you Will

[messrslune]

ok yeah i see it

its sad that its come to this but seeing the contrast since we gained 14k has been tough like some of you really carried that ugly hatred and negativity through here from wherever yall came from. (go back)(please.)

i remember a post once expressed that due to the way new people (apparently 'from twitter') shared their opinion (which was unpleasant at best, antagonistic at worst) they felt it necessary to gatekeep and i honestly wouldn't be opposed to that idea?? bc wtf is wrong with some of you. genuinely.

first and foremost, tumblr has become a comfort space for bylers, so do your best not to disrupt the already established peaceful community built here ? ??

(tl;dr stop using byler as a tag to shit on either/any characters, literally go away u weirdo)

Look i love my friend but sometimes im just reminded of how different our circumstances were growing up.

Like..tomorrow we have a class reunion and she wrote in the group that shes gonna get a gift for our professor bc this was his last year working. So shes gonna get some Schnaps. I think 'oh yeah i used to gift him a bottle of our selfmade schnaps every year for Christmas. Im gonna write her that i can take care of the schnaps!'

So i write her and she answers 'yeah no i was thinking of getting a pretty one with a pension theme from the shop'

Doesnt even matter that we can personalize my bottle as well bc i have tons of glass markers at home. Nope the 'pretty one' (and very overpriced/gimmicky one) from the shop is better.

Like... A homemade gift with sentimental value vs Gimmick gift from a shop. But mine is cheap (even tho it isnt. Making schnaps at home is still pricey and a lot of time investment), so the other one is better.

learned the other day that that kid that played jacob peregrines home for peculiar children isn’t jewish, i was like ok is any of his family? no. I loved those books as a kid because he was jewish and the grandfather reminded me of mine who always spoke yiddish, he also served in world war two, when the movie came out i just assumed those actors were jewish, with how like integral it is in the books, but they aren’t. idk just sucked. like the whole story is Jacob is going to the orphanage his grandfather was sent to as a jewish refugee during world war two.

it’s like jewish characters are always played by people who aren’t jewish and jewish people always play christian or like “nondenominational” characters implied to be christian.

Reason 249 why I have issues with my mom: that one time she left me home to attend my cousin's decadent jewish wedding with the most spectacular buffet I've heard anyone in my entourage have for that kind of thing. She left me home with one single kraft dinner box and a few condiments. Her reasoning: you have to go to school on monday. No, not any schools were attended on that monday and next time put a lock on your liquor cabinets if you have to be like this.

Am I crazy or is the whole reclaiming of 'fruity' is starting to feel a little less reclaimy and a lot more thinly veiled homophobia?

[cherienymphe]

Thank you Cherie for being so vocal and consistent in your support for palestine! I have so so much respect for you

Speaking of!! Bitch did y'all see Noah should-get-his-neck Schnapped backtrack talking about he just wants peace and blah blah blah... My guy...you were passing out Zionism is sexy stickers. You supported videos mocking Palestinian victims. Talking about some he hopes people recognize we're all human.... but you don't even see Palestinians as human

Netflix got him doing PR don't watch season 5 guys

🙋 I'm interested in your analysis of Nace's accent! Always interested in language.

Gosh, why do I promise to do things I know barely anything about...

Anyway, strap in kids, we are going to learn stuff about JO's dialects today.

First up, it's important to note that for how small Slovenia is and how few people speak the language, we have SO MANY dialects. I literally come out of a village of merely 2000 inhabitants, but our dialect is different from the neighbouring village's, which has 3500 inhabitants. In total, Slovene has 7 dialect groups and over 40 dialects in total.

So, in short about JO, before I disect Nace's accent: Kris and Bojan (and Martin) come from Ljubljana, which definitely has its own dialect. Often, Slovenes will call inhabitants of Ljubljana 'žabarji' (frog people) because Ljubljana itself is a marsh. And also because instead of using the nice Slovene 'Kaj?' to ask 'What?', a person from Ljubljana might say 'Kwa?' (don't know how legit this still is, again, please remember that I study English, NOT Slovene).

Jan and Jure come from Vrhnika and Logatec respectively. These two towns (at least in my eyes) belong to Notranjska, a very often ignored 'region' (Slovenia does not have official regions). Most people place us under Ljubljana, some place us with the karstic area, but I come from Notranjska, and goddamn, in my eyes they do as well! While there are many stereotypes about almost every Slovene region, also regarding speech, there really ain't that much about Notranjska. I also can't say that I've heard Jan and Jure talk enough to pinpoint them, or I'm just shit with dialects.

HOWEVER

In the recent episode of Welcome to the Backstage, Jure is trying to teach a British girl how to say Logatec. And he kinda pronounces it with an H (Lohatec), which I have definitely heard people from his area do. He also mentions Horjul, which is kinda close to Logatec and the girl is baffled at how to pronounce it. There are worse villages pronunciation-wise Logatec though, Grčarevec and Hotedršica, to name a few.

Okay, now I've let out my regional pride, let's finally get to Nace. The bassist of Joker Out comes from Gorenjska (the north-west of Slovenia) and yes, his accent is thick, but almost everyone from Gorenjska has a very noticeable accent, much like Štajerska. Now, I won't go too much into detail, but probably the best description of a Gorenjska accent is "it's like they have a golf ball stuck in their throat and are trying to get it out with the way they talk." And yeah, I deffo hear that with Nace.

I know I also mentioned 'ejga' in my tags and I can't not mention it again. It has no real meaning as it is a filler which can be placed both at the end and beginning of sentences. And it's highly typical for the Gorenjska region and I doubt my life will be complete until I hear Nace say it.

So as you can imagine, the Gorenjska dialect won't be winning any awards for sexiest Slovene dialect, but there are worse out there.

*slaps knee and takes a shot of schnaps of questionable origins*

Anon, hope this was fun, it definitely was fun for me, ejga.

Take a fuckin sip, babes (or...don't. probably don't)

David: David's a maudlin drunk. He usually prefers stronger booze, but not something that will totally knock you on your ass with just a couple shots. Gin, sometimes whiskey. He doesn't prefer the taste of beer when he's actually drinking, and he's not usually looking to get drunk in the first place because as mentioned, he's a weepy drunk. Granted, it takes him a bit to get there, and he mostly comes off as really quiet when he does. The depressive thoughts just come easier, and he can't stop them as easily. David is also the least likely to 'party' for that reason. Oh, he's there for drinks...just not the kind that comes in a bottle, usually.

Dwayne: Sleepy drunk. Dwayne likes mellower flavors, things that you can actually taste what's in them other than 'it tastes of awful'. He may actually be something of a wine drinker among the pack, but will settle for hard ciders and (pricier) beers. Again, if he's going to be drinking and subsequently falling the fuck asleep, he might as well enjoy the ride down. It's not uncommon on nights where they drink to find Dwayne slowly sinking further and further into the couch until he's just passed out. Not black-out. Just. Fucking sleeping. Perfect dad of a man.

Paul: eesh. Paul is, unfortunately, an angry drunk. He gets it from his father, and it's also why he'd prefer not to drink, but smoke. Paul's vices come in rolled paper and brewed teas and only occasionally pills or syringes. When he does drink, however, when the spirits are high and the host of the random beach party the Boys are crashing is offering, he'll take pretty hard stuff. It tastes bad, but like his old man used to mutter, 'he's not drinking for the taste'. Paul can usually be kept 'up' as long as the company is good and the distractions are engrossing, but if you let him sit for too long, or if you tick him off when he's been drinking, a very, very nasty side of him will come out.

Marko: Giggly drunk! Marko gets a few shots in him and wooo!! He's gone, babes. Marko also has the least tolerance among the group - he can stay on his feet for just as long, but he gets drunk fast. He prefers sweet party drinks and cocktails, schnaps, fishbowls, hard soda and lemonade. And once he's had it, if he likes you (and even if he doesn't just for the kicks) he'll be alllll over you. Anything you say is funny, and anything he says in return is doubly so. This can also transition into...ahem. Other feelings if he takes a shine to you and the night goes on. Marko is, aside from Dwayne, the easiest one to get on with when drinking, as long as you don't mind him ignoring all boundaries of physical space.

Hii have you seen the controversy on noah schnap? I can't believe it I'm actually really disappointed in him

I have... I thought it couldn't get worse than him liking posts making fun of Palestine citizens, but he is determined to make it worse. Fuck him and fuck anyone who's still defending him

[sea-salted-wolverine]

You know what being quietly observant gets you? in trouble.

My sister-in-law never had a drink during the Christmas holidays, despite the fact she loves making fun lil Christmas cocktails and putting weird shit in hot chocolate. I did not ask her about this is just noticed. She has a stable relationship and a kid. She's made it known she wants to have more than one kid.

the obvious inference is that she's pregnant. that's not a huge logical leap to make. she passed on the peppermint schnaps and didn't want sushi. huh. I don't know if she was trying for a kid but I do know she wants my niece to have siblings.

anyway she got around to announcing it and i was not surprised enough. august baby btw.

[apatheticlexicographer]

you know what, maybe i DO hope noah spoils smth. not bc i want to know the secret information but bc i want an excuse to say "noah SCHNAPPED 😱😱"

[historia-vitae-magistras]

hello Ma'am, sorry if this sounds odd I just really like your blog and your writing and i cannot write this without sounding like...this, but I hope you know that I, as well as likely many other people absolutely adore you and your stuff.

that being said i have a question, more of a personal headcanon really, but do you headcanon some of the older nations, specifically the Isles or Ukraine for example, to have a hoarding streak a mile wide, they just have stuff, everywhere from God knows how long ago.

Again to my headcanon, Prussia is one of the few older nations who do not have this habit and it drives him absolutely round the bend when he goes to other nations houses for whatever reason and just sees stuff.

im sorry to bother as always!

Not a bother; I love things like this. I do think nations who can keep their things do. Arthur has a lot of stuff because he's had the same properties to his name for centuries and is sentimental. Katya keeps the things she can, but her history has seen a lot of upheavals, so her clutter tends to be less historical and more... lived in. Matt doesn't know what those mushrooms hanging from his ceiling beams are, but they make Katya happy, so he's fine with it.

Gilbert, I see hating clutter from the sense of military organization and having his shit rocked and ransacked in 1944 and 1945. He likes things very neat, functional, and sparse, and the only room in Arthur's house I can see him enjoying is the library because at least that's organized. You can find him smoking in the back garden or having his honey schnaps for breakfast out on the front step even if it's shit weather because if he hip-check's another Australian rugby trophy or Canadian hockey stick or trips over one of Arthur's siblings or children or acquaintances on his way to breakfast, he's going to burn Arthur's house down.

wait. talk more about the green tea and whiskey combo. is the green tea sweetened? what’s the proportions? doesn’t the whiskey overpower the green tea?

Man, I'm like 90% sure it was whisky? My Mandarin is pretty poor (I got by by slurring my Cantonese in a weird accent and hoping to god it was close to understandable), and my memories of those nights, on top of being from 15 years ago, are exceedingly hazy (for the reasons you think). I didn't often do the ordering. But there some kind of green tea cocktail we drank at pretty much every Shanghai club we went to.

I tried googling it earlier as I was writing to jog my memory, but I couldn't find many results in English beyond other green tea cocktail shot recipes that have sours and schnaps.

It wasn't sweetened. At least not recognizably. I think green tea often has this strong grassy flavor that would theoretically complement more woody whiskies. I don't remember the proportions either.

It's entirely possible that I just remember it being good because I was young and stupid and just out to get drunk. And it was good for that at least. Hahahah.

Sorry, I can't clarify better. ;;;_;;;

(The most terrible drink I had in China was a horrifying screwdriver we made with orange juice from the karaoke place mixed with convenience store baijiu. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!)

Wintergefühle

Mitten im Dezember bin ich auf eine Prompt-Liste gestoßen, die meiner Meinung nach voller Inspiration für winterliche/weihnachtliche JK FFs waren. Also habe ich ein paar talentierte Autorinnen um mich geschart und ihnen zufällige Prompts zugewiesen, die sie derzeit schreiben und zum Teil auch schon veröffentlicht haben (siehe x und x). Haltet gerne in den nächsten Wochen Ausschau nach FFs, die Wintergefühle in ihrem Titel haben, und gebt fleißig Rückmeldung <3

(Falls noch jemand Interesse hat, mitzumachen: es sind noch einige Prompts zu vergeben und noch Zeit bis Ende Februar.)

Mein Prompt wurde mir von der Gruppe ebenfalls zufällig zugewiesen. Es geht um eine ganz frühe Version von JK, viel Schnaps und einen Klaas, der Joko fast so wenig leiden kann wie den Gin, den er dann doch trinkt. Eventuell spielen auch die schwarz weiß Bilder, Echsen, Tequila Suicide und der arme Schmitti eine kleine Rolle.

Ich wünsche euch viel Spaß und ein verspätetes frohes neues Jahr 🖤
