I'm Trying To Give Actual Shape To The Blurry Estraven From My Head

ok guys what is the verdict on genly's name when pronounced by gethenians?

alveolar tap r or rhotic r? hard g or soft g? or something else?

for that matter is the syllabic stress like EStraven or esTRAven because i totally thought it was the second until i saw people make estrogen jokes

The Steven Universe fandom might be “cringe” and “bad” but imagine a fandom so bad that a bunch of fandom members had ran a scheme to say “if you pay us money, your blorbo will know you’re valid” and the fandom permanently split over a 95 paragraph callout post of these people.

ok so one of my Hungarian faves has released this new song today and their songs are always very spiritual and philosophical

so I was listening to it and I almost exploded because of this lyrics (translation mine and wonky)

Nothing is turning you

You are the wheel

And you are turning yourself

well. guess who came to mind

I keep thinking about this post, so I figured I would make one about some iconic Hungarian retro songs, because they are truly amazing:

-lemon flavoured bananas don't exist but if they did they would fucking suck (much like someone i know of)

-i have never seen a black person in my life but i'm a huge fan of Little Richard and his work

-this song is not a paid promotion of yoyos. anyway here is a brief history of the product and some of its benefits. it's really fun, you should try it!!

-there are many respectable careers a woman can have: kindergarten teacher, courtesan, police officer, bricklayer, terrorist... but it doesn't matter what she does in her professional life because i love and support her anyway<33

-new guy in the neighbourhood is so talented at making out that he has become a local celebrity of sorts

-you don't even realize how great it is when you aren't here (pls leave you are really annyoning)

-romanticizing socialism: i <3 my petrol lamp

-racecar go vroom vroom

-tbh if Europe (the continent) was a milf i would fuck her

xlov: i'mma be

thoughts on estraven's death: the image of the grieving mother. Genly holding estraven is a callback to the Pietà and other similar works of women holding and weeping over a loved one. Amid all the other cultural references in LHOD, this one stands out to me. Genly is cast as a woman at the climax of the novel, a symbol of not only his changing attitudes but his changing gender identity as well.
