10 and 11 for the bibliophile asks? :)

10. Tell me about the sort of cover you cannot resist.

Oh man I've never thought about this in depth before but I guess...something matte with an intense colour (red or purple or green, sometimes within a pallette but one colour dominating), something that looks fantastical but not childish, and I'm a sucker for raised writing for the title. (Wow, never realised I had such strong graphic design preferences). I also generally prefer paperbacks but idk if that's really to do with the cover design.

11. What book do you find yourself recommending the most?

Ummm...I don't really get asked to recommend stuff much but probably queer fiction and/or historical/fantasy fiction. The book series I've been recommending most this year is the Amberlough Dossier, which sort of fits into all three (queer fantasy fiction set in a city that's sort of based on 1930s Berlin i.e. exactly my shit lol)

Hey :) Ich hab in den Notes von dem einen Quiz gesehen, dass du angeboten hast, die Anspielungen zu erklären und da hätte ich direkt ein paar Fragen, wenn du Zeit und Lust hast die zu beantworten :) Was ist das Hörspiel mit Copyrightproblemen? Bei der "aesthetic"-Frage hab ich nur Schuh des Manitu und Traumschiff Surprise erkannt, und bei den Liedern nur Schrei nach Liebe. Kannst du mir bei den anderen weiterhelfen? Und gibt es irgendwas Besonderes an Heidi Klums Stimme? Danke schon mal! xx

Hey, na klar hab ich Zeit (und das war eine angenehme Pause zwischen den Dingen die ich grad so tun muss :D)! Ich hoffe, es ist okay dass ich deine Ask öffentlich beantworte :) 

Für alle anderen – die Fragen hier beziehen sich auf das Quiz in diesem Post (LINK)

Bei dem Hörspiel mit Copyrightproblemen dachte ich, dass das eine allgemeine Anspielung auf die Copyright-Gesetze sind, nicht auf ein bestimmtes Hörspiel. Also mehr so im Sinne von “die Copyright-Gesetze werden so streng verfolgt, dass ich jetzt hier keinen bestimmten Protagonisten nennen kann, wenn ich keine Probleme kriegen will”. Es kann aber genauso gut sein, dass das eine Anspielung ist, die ich nicht kenne. bei den “aesthetics”: “shirtless gangsters, filling notebooks with cool words and phrases, questionable but effective teaching methods, howling quietly” ist glaube ich Fack ju, Göhte, obwohl es ne Weile her ist, seit ich den Film gesehen habe und mich partout nicht daran erinnern kann worauf die “shirtless gangsters” anspielen… “bad boys who only care about sex, accidental feelings, stories and faces so familiar it feels like you’ve watched them ten times before, plush animals without ears” - Keinohrhasen! Kein Till Schweiger Fan, hmm? :DD

Bei den Songs: I suppress my tears to be free again // I can be alone, you know that // And yet I have planes in my stomach - musste ich auch nachgucken, ist von Oli P. “Flugzeuge im Bauch”, das mir total unbekannt ist… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTg3TIAmFUk

Is it the one with the big sweater on, dude? // No, it's the woman who can't make it on Fridays - Fanta 4, “Die da!?!” Klassiker ;) (Oh Gott, die Jungs sehen so jung aus in dem Video :DDD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ljcXBTFcFA

It's crazy how nicely you keep silent // How you tilt your pretty little head // And thus give the whole noisy world and me the cold shoulder - Wir sind Helden, Nur ein Wort (Hab das gerade nochmal angehört und jetzt hab ich nen Ohrwurm, mist :DD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqywY8Wgvk8

Und an Heidi Klums Stimme gibts eigentlich nichts besonderes, die wird nur von vielen als ziemlich anstrengend wahrgenommen :)

Hoffe es ist trotz Corona alles bäm bei dir! ;)

mentally ill people can definitely romanticize mental illness, though. just look at pro-ana blogs and then tell me that's not a problem. also, neurodiversity is such a big spectrum and so many people experience some kind of mental illness during their lives - i feel like this distinction between neurotypical and mentally ill people is not all that meaningful.

but on this hellsite (and irl too tbh) the tendency is to conflate ‘talking openly about your illness’ as ‘romanticising it’ - and it’s mainly neurotypical people who do it to shame mentally ill people into shutting up. 

even IF some mentally ill people are romanticising their illness that doesn’t make it okay to try to use that as an excuse to shame other mentally ill people who just want room to talk about their illnesses with other spoonies.

Ich halte die Leute nicht aus, die ständig betonen dass man die Entscheidung der Bundestagsabgeordneten nicht gegen sie halten soll, und dass es eine "persönliche Entscheidung" ist. Glauben die denn, dass das niemanden beeinflusst?

Es ist eine namentliche Abstimmung, das heißt, dass man anschließend online nachschauen kann wer wie abgestimmt hat. Dann kann man den Einzelnen das für immer übel nachsehen bzw. immer danken.

that horrible racist post comparing exclusionists to the kkk seems like a troll to me tbh. the blog's first post was made on july 27 (so, three days ago) and honestly "you're lgbt if you don't want to sleep with casual acquaintances" reeeally sounds like something an exclusionist would put into inclusionists' mouths to mock them. the whole thing is horrific either way, obviously, but a troll trying to rile people up is a different matter than an inclusionist genuinely making that post imo

I’m more than okay with saying ‘I do not agree with this person who may or may not be a troll.’

Hey :) For the ask meme you reblogged a while ago: honey, sunsets, ink? (Only do it if you want to, obviously! I thought thinking about good things might make you feel a bit better. Starting a new job is always really stressful, and being tired + menstruating on top of that sounds hard.)

honey: already answered!

sunsets: give 3 movie recommendations 

The Fall (starring Lee Pace); it’s cinematically beautiful, a fantasy story mixed with a very poignant period story about mental health, and it makes me cry like a baby every time. There are some kind of problematic things about it though, mostly wrt racism.

Pride; so you’ve probably seen Pride or seen like, gifs of most of the film on Tumblr, but it’s honestly SO GOOD so I have to recommend it. Just, so good.

Four Weddings and a Funeral: This is me and my dad’s film. The central romance is kind of shit, but it makes up for that by being both hilarious and so so sad. Also great music. Very 90s British romcom, with all the tropes that contains.

ink: favorite thing you’ve written?

oh man idk if I can pick just one thing?? I’m still really proud of this flinthamilton fic, which explores the idea that Thomas is released from Bedlam, but thinks James is an apparition/fantasy and refuses to believe he’s real. And this poem which is technically about Bel Rowley, but it’s kind of abstract and universally(ish) applicable and I’m just really proud of it still.

Thanks so much for the questions and your kind message <3

how would there be a side you can't get to on a möbius strip, though?

that’s why it’s a conspiracy theory, it’s practically a requirement for it to fall apart at even the slightest attempt at critical inspection ;)
