I've been everywhere

[molten-wartoad]

the mire be like, but only when you’re leveling fodder with a non-boss friendly team

[hellworm-fr]

Ask the worms? Hell yeah I think I will. Alright worms- do you have a main coli grinder/fodder leveling team? You should share them :D

hello the worms greet you 🪱

my main coli leveler is Bog !! A Mire Flyer that tears through GLR & the Mire and drags helpless fodder alongside with him.

He has actually had a good few students even return alive & well! It has a great track record don’t ask anyone else about that.

(I also have a coli team for grinding anywhere but those three are the warriors of valor not the beasts that seemlessly fit into the venues..)

my phone thinks Bog is a plant. perhaps a swiss cheese plant even…. wow..

[bonefydskeleton]

My clothes they are all wet

My life’s a total wreck

All my friends oh they’re all fighting mad

My tent it is all muddy

My hands are bruised and bloody

And I’ve got the worst headache I’ve ever had

Cause I didn’t respect the Shine

Should have stuck to beer or wine

If I had my druthers I would go right back in time and

Spit it from my lips

I wouldn’t take a sip

I’m in a world of trouble cause I didn’t respect the Shine

Rojst/The Mire/Rojst ‘97/The Mire ‘97/Rojst. Millenium/The Mire. Millenium (dir. Jan Holoubek)

A crime series consisting of a three-part journey into the times of deep communism in Poland, suffocating cigarette smoke in every possible room, gloomy buildings and people with minor or major secrets.

This story is so complex with its characters and storytelling that I don’t really know where I should start… Well, alright let’s start with these two in the picture above. Witold Wanycz (played by Andrzej Seweryn) and Piotr Zarzycki (played by Dawid Ogrodnik). The chemistry between these two actors is remarkable! They fits their characters so well and from the very beginning you just believe both of them to be an old journalist troubled by his past in this small town, and young, spirited one, who wants to reveal the truth, and despite being quite an annoying character cares about justice. The show has many excellent supporting characters as hotel manager Kocioł or Nadia. If some fans of World on Fire ever read it, they will be nicely surprised by presence of Zofia Wichłacz, who plays Piotr’s wife. But anyway! The plot takes place in 80s, in gloomy small town where a prostitute and a communist activist are murdered. I don’t want to spoil anything but you can already say by the times it happens it’s not easy to solve… Wanycz wants to run away from the town and Zarzycki wants to solve the case with him. And it’s all starts spinning! Everyone in the town lies of course.

Second series takes place also in the same town, but in 1997 and introduces new characters, which you can see in the pic. My absolutely favourite sergeant Mika (Łukasz Simlat), and sergeant Anna Jass (Magdalena Różczka). Year '97 was the period of the greatest flood in over a century in Poland and the plot covers the aftermath of it. It takes place after Poland became fully independent but the hallmarks of communism are evident at every turn. In district Gronty somebody finds the body of a young boy, and water washes away the bones of people killed there during the war. In general it’s a mess. Police try to work on the case but again, nothing in this town is easy and everybody lies. Of course there are old friends occurring there as well from the previous series. We have some flashbacks into the past back to 1940s, and we get to know Wanycz’s story.

I really think that the latest part of the series is my favourite. Again, all previous characters appear, but the creators take the audience back into the super communist 1960s, apart from 1999, and we have some more light shed on Mr Kocioł (played by Filip Pławiak as younger version of him)

- for comparison here’s older Kocioł and younger one, can you seeee the visionnnn? -

Anyway, there is more and more of dark stuff happening, this essay is shitty and I don’t want to spoil anything, just please give it a chance! It is now streamed on Netflix. Some stuff may be a bit hard to understand for non-polish folks in terms of cultural aspect or some sayings but I assure you all, it’s a really captivating crime/drama series ✨ and Jan Holoubek is a geniussss! I just love that it reflects on people’s lives in hards times and what human’s nature is able to do and that… well… karma is real.

Doctor Who - Mire

the mire? 🥹🤲

This is the first Lestappen I ever put to paper, and it's undergoing major revisions as I didn't love initial characterisations in it...friends keep bugging me to bite the bullet and write it in its entirety. It's another Ferrari-as-a-thinly-veiled-matephor-for-the-Catholic-Church and follows an alternate 2022. Beginning of the season Ferrari comes into possession of some..compromising material re: Max, and how that changes Charles and Max's relation to each other, the championship charge, and Charles' hunger and desperation to do right by the church of Scuderia Ferrari. Inspo is Psalm 69 (I will praise God’s name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves.) and I listened pretty exclusively to Chinese Satellite and She Calls Me Back while planning/writing it.

Cheeky little excerpt below, it's some of my more pretentious prose so be warned.

Mattia is one of the only people that Charles has met that signs his name on the end of every text. He’s also the only team principal that Charles has known who refuses to communicate in anything other than Italian. Ferrari is not like other teams he said to Charles once when he had tried to switch languages to their native French. It is more than a manufacturer. It is an institution. To bring it back to its former glory we first have to follow the rules set down by those who came before us. 

Charles is lucky, Italian sits easy on his tongue, flows from his mind out into the world. It’s not French, nothing is really, but it feels more somehow, like the split second extra effort it requires to remember to pronounce the vowels, to change the gender of objects, renders his words more meaningful, more holy.  

Carlos doesn’t agree with him, his Italian is harsh and arduous, shaped by the scorching Spanish sun and spices. He’s scowling when he meets Charles in the cafeteria at 8:50. 

“I don’t want to say good morning, because it’s hardly good,” Carlos says, in English, as Charles reaches him by the coffee counter. 

“Statti zitto,” Charles hisses, looking around. “Cosa diavolo perché parli inglese quando siamo qui?”

(Shut up, why the hell are you speaking English here?)

Carlos rolls his eyes and sighs, “Estas como una cabra Charles.” However, his next words come out in Italian, albeit slower and more halting than his greeting.  “It’s a small meeting, just us, Mattia and a couple of PR people.”

Charles frowns, as he takes the cappuccino offered to him. “Do we have any idea what it’s about?”

Carlos shrugs, obviously not in the mood to be chatty in his third language.
