do you read fanfic for a fandom you haven't engaged with otherwise?
no and I wouldn't
no but I'd try
yes and I liked it

I don't think ppl should read fanfic without understanding the source material

Ok, here is the OFFICIAL AND ONLY CORRECT GUIDE to starting reading Pratchetts Books. Its a multiple step process, so read all steps carefully otherwise you will be wrong and shunned to eternity.
1. Go outside.
2. Trust the universe for once in your life.
3. Find any of these: Library, Thriftstore, secondhand bookshop, a cupboard with free books, your relatives or friends book shelf or storage boxes ...
4. Locate the Pratchett Book.
5. The universe has now deciced with which book you must start with.
6. Compliment the universe for its wisdom.
7. From there on repeat the steps above.
Edit: Added relatives and/or friends to step 3
Setting aside any positive or negative nationalistic feelings, and ignoring the subject matter of the lyrics, do you think your country's anthem is a good song?
They should be dropping it in the club
It's great
It's pretty good, maybe not the best
It's just okay
It kinda sucks
It sucks definitively
I genuinely believe it's the worst one out there
Nuance/other/my anthem is bald
The tumblr experience is having politics that make the most left leaning progressive you know irl blush and then logging on here and getting called a bootlicker fascist because you said that you dont think we should make the reign of terror happen again
Me irl: the problem isnt taxes, youre thinking too small. The problem is that the federal government isnt taxing the right people the right amount. Theyre taking all our extra cash in our measly little wealth bracket and letting the billionaires hang on to more money than they can ever spend in a lifetime. The only way anybody gets a single billion is either through exploitation or inheriting it from someone else who did the exploitation, nobody who has that kind of money earned it legitimately. Not only do we need to strip that back into social safety nets for those of us theyre bleeding dry instead, but they need to establish hard laws and regulations to prevent that kind of exploitation from happening in the first place!
My coworkers: man, youre a real red-card commie, aren’t you? You gonna start telling us to vote NDP and that healtcare isnt a scam too? Jesus christ go give someone else your goddamn revolution pamphlets, lenin.
Me on tumblr: while i appreciate the animosity towards billionaires, i dont think literally dragging a guillotine into the streets and beheading people as a public spectacle is going to actually solve the problems inherent in the system considering the french already tried that and it didnt work out well for them. Also i dont think anybody has the right to decide who lives and who dies, im pretty anti death penalt-
Tumblr users: how does that boot taste, fascist?
He likes the D
I walked past IKEA and noticed that they spelled jungle with a D on one of their products and thought “Of course they fucking do”
In German, we don’t just have a “random” (I am sure it’s got its reasons) D but also replaced the “j” witch an “sch”. Because “Dsch” probably seemed like the lesser of two evils when compared to “Dj”. Hence, Dschungel.
In (Flemish) Dutch we say oerwoud.
“Oer” meaning ancient
“Woud” meaning woods/forest
Or we just use the English word jungle… both are accepted.
Makes sense right?
It does actually make sense to me as a Dutch person to just use the English loanword there if 'oerwoud' doesn't convey the right sentiment.
However, I have owned, at some point, an old Dutch translation of Kipling's The Jungle Book that was titled 'Het Djungelboek'. So we did the same kind of thing as the Swedes and the Germans at some point. Modern versions of 'the Jungle Book' in Dutch are indeed 'Het Jungleboek'. A quick Google shows me a version with the same cover image I had and titled 'Het Djungelboek' as published in 1949. Although that was a hardcover and I had a paperback.
Chemistry is so fucking weird. Why the FUCK does it do that.

You could have just… not learned our language. It’s not like Americans are desperate to talk to you
See I have this condition called "having any kind of upward mobility in my country is very hard without an english proficiency level of at least B2", I wish it wasn't this way but it's an affliction that sadly affects millions of people in most non-anglo countries in the world.
I love how it flew compeltely past your thick yankee skull that learning english is not something people do for shits and giggles or because we want to come talk to y'all on yankee social media. You think I learned your language so I could come hang out with you on tumblr dot com? I learned it because in most places in the world speaking it is a requirement for the vast majority of non-dead-end jobs. But of course your people are unable to imagine any situation where someone learns a language for any reason other than for funsies. As I said, monolingual anglophones are a deeply solipsistic people.
Anglos will say shit like "uhm you could just not learn a second language 🤷♀️" and think they're refuting the existence of their linguistic imperialism instead of proving how insanely sheltered they are compared to everyone else in the world.
All public universities in my country admit and reject people based on their score on a national standardized test, which features an English module that's worth 1/5 of your final score. This makes not having at least a basic level of English proficiency a major barrier for accessing higher education but yeah, I could have "just... not learned your language" I guess, yeah.
And the reason higher education requires a B1-B2 level of English (a level that shows a knowledge of language that native speakers sometimes don't have in their native language, btw) is that science and academia happens in English. You will have to read papers in English. And if you study a master's or go into research, you may have to write papers in English.
There is research about how making science mainly in English affects the understanding we have of whatever we are studying, btw.
And this is not because English speakers do science better. The most prominent scientific journals and magazines are written in English, because the most prominent scientific institutions are in English-speaking countries and enjoy huge financial backing that other countries don't have. The wealth of knowledge, just to give some examples, of astronautic engineering in Russian or virtually the entire field of the humanities in Spanish and Portuguese is thus ignored because it's "untranslated". Meanwhile, to get your research published here in the Third World, you have to learn English, and to keep up with the global conversation you have to learn English. I have heard of papers of wonderful quality that have not been paid attention at all because they weren't published in English, and years of accumulated research in other languages that only reached transcendence until some anglo speaker grabbed it all and made a review in English.
I don't need to tell you that this creates huge biases and blindspots in all fields. Meanwhile, in the Third World, we are EXPECTED to be able to translate or at least work with works from multiple languages.
i really like how the milkman exists as an entirely fossilized character who now serves no purpose other than to fuck people's wives for the punchline
I mean... it's more like a mobile supermarket now but there definitely still are some milkmen around these parts (NW Europe)

If you had to sing a child to sleep RIGHT NOW what would you sing and it CANT BE a lullaby it has to be a regular song
think about the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater. not necessarily the first one you saw in a theater, but your oldest memory of seeing one in a theater. what genre of movie was it?
comedy/dark comedy/satire
action
sci-fi
fantasy
horror/thriller
romance/romantasy
historical/period drama/biopic/documentary/historical fiction/political
drama/tragedy
adventure/epic/superhero
mystery/crime
i have a memory of a film but am not sure what film it is (describe?)
i have never seen a film in the theater/cinema in person
for the purpose of this poll, things like "animation" and "musical" are not options here because those are mediums and can be any genre! i also sort of felt like inclusion of either of these would result in them dominating this particular poll. so instead, think of which of these selections MOST sums up the movie you're thinking of. it's okay if multiple of these apply, but just pick the one that would sum it up best.
also, you obviously don't have to, but please consider leaving the movie and the year it was released in the tags! i am probably going to make a letterboxd list of everyone's responses, especially if this spreads around enough. check back for the link!
I badly want to start saying “this is my Swarovski Shrek” to refer to any outrageously expensive yet ridiculous object I start coveting. If anyone says “what the fuck” and asks what I mean, well. It’s their lucky day to learn about Swarovski Shrek
Guess who I saw today
WHAT THE HELL THERE'S SO MANY??

But for real I’m never going to shut up about this. What do you mean Crowley refused to come to Heaven and now is suddenly standing here beside his angel looking FINE AS HELL
Speaking of Hell, I cannot be the only one who thinks those white streaks look like horns.
