All the asks, thank you! ❤ ❤ ❤ From this post! ^_^
Marzipan Tell us about something you like, even though many people don’t.
I love reading the dictionary!!! I have been told repeatedly that this is boring, but it’s not. Like you obviously don’t read start to finish, but you can just flip a dictionary open and then skip the words you know and learn a whole bunch of new things that you didn’t even know there were words for! It’s the best!
Also, I really like rogue-like survival games. It’s kiiiind of a love-hate relationship, but I get very obsessed. Right now I’m playing one I adore called the Flame in the Flood, which is kinda glitchy, but I still love it very much.
O Captain, My Captain Is there any scene in a movie or book bursting of such grandness you could cry?
Yes!!! Oh man so many. The whole ending of the Infernal Devices quartet by Philip Reeve. Essentially the entire book that is Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien. Sonmi-351′s speech in Cloud Atlas.
Actually this trailer for Cloud Atlas always makes me cry:
Serenade Tell us about a rather unknown musician you love listening to.
I really like Jason Webley!! Jason Webley and Little Comets, I think they’re not super well known. I especially love Pyramid by Jason Webley, mostly cos of Welcome to Night Vale.
Zärtlichkeit Name a word you love, from a foreign language.
Oof, I’m gonna cheat and do a few because I love them all far too much.
Glas – Welsh, can mean the blue of the sky, the green of the grass, the grey of the cliffs or the colour of the sea. Kind of archaic now, but in Medieval Welsh it meant all those things.
Uhtceare – Old English, the worries that run through you mind in the grey light before the dawn. Uht refers to that specific time of day, and ceare is for worries or cares.
Kintsukuroi – I think a lot of people know this one, but Japanese – referring to an artistic method of repairing broken ceramics with gold or silver glaze. The idea suggests that something becomes more beautiful for having been broken.
Komorebi – Japanese. A word for the sunlight through leaves in the trees.
Thank you again for these! ❤ I loved them.
