Poses B1 with Latvia and Lithuania!
Angsty prompts 49: "Are you satisfied now?"
Somewhere in 1561 Lithuania (READ TAGS FIRST PLEASE)
---- Raivis laid back in a pile of hay and looked up, specks of light beginning to break through the rough, aged wood of the barn he’d accidentally fallen asleep in. The night before he’d been out working with the chickens and cows, making sure they handled a rough storm that had been passing over.
The air was warm as it hit his face, the only thing audible being the sound of a rooster out near the front gate. The moment was serene and blissful, especially after such a turbulent night.
Raivis smiled, taking in everything around him. It was magical, thinking about the violent storm that had occurred there only hours before. How the darkness always turned to light, that even in the gloomiest of situations, light always prevailed.
Or did it? -------------------
USSR 1971
“FUCK!” Raivis shouted into the ether, his head throbbing as he woke up in confusion.
The cold emptiness of The Room clawed its way through Ravis’ body and he knew immediately what was going on.
“Are you satisfied now?” Ivan’s voice echoed through the pitch-black void of The Room, his words almost drained of any emotion. “I always thought of you to be one of the better ones, Raivis...” Ivan bent down and gave Raivis a soft smile, “yet time and time again...” He put a hand to Raivis head, “you betray me.”
Ivan’s massive hand resting on his head made Raivis’ heart began to beat with unimaginable terror. He wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he felt the words pour from his mouth before he could stop himself. “I know you’re just stuck in this situation like me!” Raivis wanted to rest his head against the ground the moment he started talking. “I know you’re weak, you can’t make choices for your--”
Crippling pain came down on Raivis’ ribcage and he immediately let out a cry of agony, blood spilling from his mouth.
Raivis could see Ivan pacing around next to him, his long scarf nearly tailing behind him, “I am strong.” He thrust the steel pipe in his hand hard on the ground, the cement cracking like shattered glass. “You, are weak..."
“Wake....up...” Raivis forced out of his lips as he struggled for air. He knew he wouldn’t really die but those voices got lost inside his head as he tried for another gasp of air and he felt every cell in his body scream for dear life.
“...but together...” Ivan’s voice always sounded so innocent, even as Raivis once again felt himself slip from consciousness, “...we will be stronger.”
Would Lithuania take care of a stork if he found one injured?
You know he would!
10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 21, 7, 6. (You can leave 6 and 16 out if you want too!)
what’s something you’re excited for?
I don’t really get all that excited, cosplaying Lietpol with some friends though!!
how are you?
Uh, I dunno. Right now my body aches but I don’t have any Corona Symptoms anymore so I’m pretty good with that. That doesn’t mean I’m out of the water yet though...
what’s your comfort food?
Eel...
compliment the person who sent you this number.
You’ve been really nice and patient with me putting up with my love of Poland and helping me learn lots of things about your country which has been very awesome and nice of you! I appreciate the things you’ve done for me!!
fairy lights or LED lights?
I have no idea.
if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?
Get into Hetalia now, don’t wait, it’s not as fucked up as people made it sound. You’ll love it.
what color brings you peace?
The pitch black darkness of black.
say three nice things about yourself (three physical and three non-physical).
Physical: For what my body is, it’s not bad. I don’t like it for my own reasons, but as a car or something, it’s not bad. It works well, it’s pretty sleek. Is it the car I wanna drive? No. I’m driving some sorta compact car when I wanna drive a Pick Up Truck. || Flexible? || If I didn’t suffer intense physical pain on a daily basis I would probably be really good at being stealthy.
Not Physical: I remember everything and every little detail. My mind is an endless pit of content and adventure and whatever. I’m not that dumb but I wont say I’m smart-smart.
🔥🔥 for Liet.
If Poland asked him to go dress shopping. Liet would simply say, “No thank you.”
Saya langsung merekam episode kali ini setelah bangun tidur. Kontennya memang berisi cerita mimpi saya barusan tentang ngaji kitab bersama Ustaz Adi Hidayat. Tadinya mau saya tulis tapi takut keburu lupa. Akhirnya langsung direkam saja. Semoga memang mimpi baik ini tuh jadi isyarat agar saya bisa lebih banyak belajar ke Ustaz Adi Hidayat lewat video-video yang tersebar di internet dan mengaji lebih serius saja. Pesan di mimpinya memang positif kok. Jadi, semoga ini memang petunjuk dari Allah agar saya bisa lebih baik dan menjadi sosok yang sedemikian mencintai ilmu.

Mengabuburit sambil mendengarkan podcast
Bulan Ramadan tahun ini layanan pengaliran musik JOOX menghadirkan suatu hiburan berbeda dari apa yang telah mereka sajikan sebelumnya.
Ragam hiburan tersebut adalah drama dalam bentuk podcast alias siniar. Sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan lebih dari satu dekade silam di Amerika Serikat (AS), popularitas siniar terus menanjak, termasuk di Indonesia.
Dalam jumpa pers yang berlangsung di The Goods Dinner, Kawasan SCBD, Jakarta Selatan (30/4/2019), Peter May selaku Head of JOOX Indonesia menyitir hasil survei Jakpat 2018 yang menyebut bahwa lebih dari 40% pendengar siniar di Indonesia berasal dari generasi milenial.
Melihat tren yang ada tersebut, Joox bersama Radio Gen FM menghadirkan tiga seri drama dengan genre berbeda yang melibatkan para sineas. Tajuknya JOOX the Series yang hadir saban hari selama Ramadan.
Gina S. Noer bersama Salman Aristo menyutradarai Klub Kecanduan Mantan yang sarat nuansa komedi. Angga Dwimas Sasongko dan Anggia Kharisma menghadirkan Bridezilla dari genre drama. Sementara Anggy Umbara mempersembahkan cerita horor lewat Mata dan Mantra.
Setiap episode dari masing-masing seri berdurasi sekitar 10 menit. Ini yang membedakannya dengan sandiwara radio yang panjangnya bisa mencapai 30 menit bahkan lebih.
Pembeda lainnya, setelah tayang perdana menjelang waktu buka puasa, pendengar atau pengguna JOOX bisa mendengarkan siniar drama ini kapan saja. Tidak seperti sandiwara radio yang memiliki jam pemutaran tertentu.
Cerita drama dalam format audio seperti ini sebenarnya bukan sesuatu yang baru di telinga orang Indonesia. Sudah ada sejak beberapa dekade silam. Mencapai puncaknya pada era 80an dan 90an. Kala itu orang-orang mengistilahkannya dengan sandiwara radio.
Selain mengudara di stasiun radio, episode-episode sandiwara radio dipasarkan pula dalam bentuk pita kaset.
Beberapa seri sandiwara radio yang sempat menjadi favorit, antara lain Ibuku Malang Ibuku Tersayang, Catatan si Boy, Butir-Butir Pasir di Laut, Saur Sepuh, Tutur Tinular, dan Misteri dari Gunung Merapi.
Saking populernya judul-judul sandiwara radio tadi kemudian diadaptasi menjadi film dan sinetron.
“Kalau gue bilang podcast merupakan bentuk baru dari program radio yang dulu gue dengar,” ujar Salman Aristo (43) usai konferensi pers.
Bagi Aris, memproduksi sandiwara atau drama dalam bentuk audio bukan sesuatu yang asing. Beberapa tahun silam ia pernah menyutradarai seri Ramadan di Atas Awan yang disiarkan Radio Gen FM.
Siniar juga telah menjadi medium favorit Aris dan Gina sejak beberapa tahun silam. Favorit mereka adalah Serial, sebuah seri siniar investigasi jurnalistik yang dibawakan oleh Sarah Koenig, jurnalis, penyiar, dan produser program televisi dan radio.
Mulai hadir sejak 2014, Serial dalam setiap musim menampilkan satu kisah nyata terkait dunia kriminal yang terdiri dari 9 hingga 12 episode.
Hingga sekarang Serial sudah merampungkan musim ketiga. Melansir Variety (5/9/2018), dua musim pertama siniar tersebut diunduh lebih dari 340 juta kali.
