Spanish-speaking countries must have a really active fansubbing community cause the second I try to look for a niche but not necessarily obscure anime movie, coincidentally the first thing I'll find is a spanish subbed upload

So, at least on twitter there was a smidge of confused curiosity over the fact that while in trailer, Charon speaks German, the name of his character story thingy is in Italian.

Well, I raise you this, what if Charon is (was?) italian but lived in the regions that were under the control of austria-hungary at the time so it was them he fought for and died in one of the battles of the isonzo

Discovered my dingalicious dorm market has better actually known yerba mate for cheaper than my "fancier" local supermarket (peer reviewed by argentinian friend)

Ok so I heard a bit of kinosaki here there and yeah, cool and pretty chara, good for him! But the aspect that really surprised me is that not knowing jack about marriage toxin I thought that like, the character on the cover of volume one (so in general like, the cover you'll see typically in tracking sites) and kinosaki were like two distinct characters but very much not, lol

If I had a euro for everytime I had a character who fucked off in an unspecified third location in the middle of the night, I'd have 2 euros, not a lot, but weird it happen twice.

So apparently in the 1960's, a decade where many countries first decriminalized homosexuality, attempts were made in italy to do the opposite, except that since the initial decriminalization of homosexuality in 1890, the governing class had matured a stance around the lines of "Whathever the fuck is going on with you guys is between yourselves, your conscience and the church if we want to leave it at that, we don't want to fucking talk about it, we don't want to project this topic amidst the populace" and they were so hellbent on it that the proposed laws never gained traction.

This did meant however that in imprisoning Aldo Braibanti in 1969 (It was unspokenly understood that the reason why he was deemed an "unsuitable element" was because of his sexuality), they had to do some legal someursalts and imprison him under charges of "Plagio", as we had no laws persecuting homosexuality since 1890.

For clarification, if you run plagio on a translation software, you'd get plagiarism, but this is plagio as in latin word plagium meaning subterfuge, the charge is defined as follows:

"Whoever subjects a person to his own power, in a way to reduce them under complete subjection is to be imprisoned for 5 to 15 years".

Braibanti ended up getting 9 years, which were appelead to 4, he then got freed after spending 2 of said 4 years in jail as they were "forgiven" of him as he had been a partisan during ww2.

There's actually even a movie about this, called il signore delle formiche, italians would be able to watch it on raiplay, but I have absolutely no idea where you lot anywhere else could find it

I humbly apologize to anyone bustling about in the charioteer tag cause you will have to put up with me in the foreseeable future, anyway, he now exists!!! (albeit by indirect mentions)

Some further thoughts:

I'm still at a loss at who was Laurie musing about earlier with the whole "I can't get him out of my head. Those long eyelashes. Would he look at me, do you think?"

There were multiple cases in which I mentally billed words as "school slang" only to look them up and find they're just generic old english words

I'm still trying to understand whether Jeepers is a right loony or a right loony and possibly involved in "order staff" (But it's just me overanalyzing the english like, the stink is metaphorical and him being sacked probably intends outright expelled?)

I know that I'm already shitting thoughts like barely 30 pages in, but the book is a long trek, so I request lenience.
