Ykw, maybe I should do it. Translating a (good) fic seems fun!

[tismlizardposting]

Self-posting an outfit for my local drag awards night where my small business was nominated. I'm wearing my great grandmother's dress and blouse and veil from my grandmother (baba). Both of them sewed, I make most of my income sewing, and it felt correct.

Out here seeking some info on this garment though bc details are sparse.

Tldr I am Croatian diaspora living in Australia. My great grandmother sewed this blouse and dress, and my Baba wore it on the boat to Australia. My Baba is from Kali and I have limited info on this garment, but my family are farmers, fishing people and very much lived the village life. I am aware this is very typical village people fashion haha. My aunt said it was called a "fooshtoon", potentially spelled "faustan" but the internet isn't providing answers. I can pronounce it properly irl, but the spelling is seemingly evading everyone. I am genuinely wondering if this is Cro-English in the way all the Babas write "kmarket" instead of "Kmart", and they were in fact trying to say "fashion" which turned into "fooshtoon".

Anybody have leads? 🤔

so i’m fucking around with trying to learn a little Croatian for fun and reasons, right? And i’m already familiar with Slavic languages due to past obsessions/travels and some lateral family ties, so it’s going oddly well and i’m in love with it.

Anyway, in the regions of Istria and Dalmatia, there’s a lot of Italian influence on local dialects. The history is complicated and pisses everyone off depending on how you describe it and never forget that Venice was built on timber from plundered Croatian trees, apparently. That’s not the point.

The point is i just discovered that in Rijeka/Fiume, a local motto (and football chant) translates to more or less “die, but don’t give up.” As in, dying is fine, it happens, but giving up is unforgivable. (Which I already love because awwww look at them they’re my exact same hard-headed Triestine motherfuckers, singing in a slightly different key.)

In the local čakavski language this is “Krepat, ma ne molat.”

As in, “crepare ma non mollare.” As in they literally took Italian verbs and stuck Slavic endings on them and said HEY, THIS WORKS! In “standard” štokavski Croatian every single one of those words is different (more like “Umrijeti, ali ne odustati”).

I have been cackling in sheer joy over this line for days and need to share it with ALL OF YOU Italian-speakers (fucked if i know why i just wrote this whole post in english with my thumbs)

so keep an eye out for that

(more details will be disclosed when I make/finish it)

A screen cap from Croatian-based TV channel Orlando Kids. The channel aired the CyKuro anime during the 2010s, with some clips being shared in 2016.

Most of these recordings were removed, with only footage from episode 15 being saved. The dub is now considered lost media.

Idk what the artist intended them to be but I always interpreted them as aliens!
