Foster-ya - Are You Bored Yet?

please reblog this if it is okay to anonymously confess something to you.

Sitting here at almost 11am and I suddenly had a thought.. ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie’ from Arcane is low-key, high-key Raphael x Tav coded.

Am I the only one getting that vibe from it? I don’t entirely know if it’s just because of the sound and general tone of the song, but to me it feels like the lyrics with ‘you’re both the best and the worst that has ever happened to me’ (I’m paraphrasing, bare with me) remind me of Raphael and Tav’s relationship, at least as it is in a lot of fanfictions that I’ve read about them. Especially those that were leaning more towards an angsty sort of feel.

But even when we don’t consider the lyrics being kind of fitting, I do generally think that the overall melancholically beautiful sound of the song does fit Tav & Raph (gonna just call them that from now on, it’s fun).

Anyway, I don’t exactly know what to do with this thought yet, but I’m just throwing it out there for now.. do feel free to add to it if you want!

somehow, both of these are me ._.

So, let me add my two cents to this conversation. I’m German and in my language, every noun has a gender (either female, male or neuter) and gets referred to by gendered articles which are der (the, masculine), die (the, feminine) or das (the, neuter) and it‘s the same with the pronouns for said noun where there are either er (he), sie (she) or es (it) pronouns used for the word.

And while the moon in many languages is seen as a symbol for femininity, which probably stems from the moon being a female noun in Latin (Luna, Lunae f.), in German, that is not the case.

In my language, the moon is a masculine noun and referred to by male articles. We say DER Mond (the moon) and when we want to say that it looks beautiful, we‘d say: “er sieht schön aus”, aka “he looks beautiful.”

So, what’s the takeaway from all of this? The easiest way to phrase it is, that both cultures and languages are simply very different all around the world. I know that that sounds a bit.. obvious but I have recently observed that, especially on the internet, there seems to be a “right” and “wrong” way to go about things.

Seeing matters from a perspective that isn’t typically “Latin” or “American” is often shunned and shut down online because people aren’t used to it.

You can easily see that happen in the above post, where the user who posted the photo and caption was immediately shunned by the people in the comments for using the “wrong” pronoun for the moon.

Which is kind of funny to me, seeing as in English, nouns DON’T EVEN HAVE gendered pronouns. So this is definitely coming from the culture online being heavily influenced by Latin, as the internet seems to be a very western space and many of those languages have roots there.

But to me it is important to say that just because Luna is a commonly used term when talking about the moon, that doesn’t have to mean that everyone needs to agree on it being female. In my language, that isn’t the case and I’d very much feel pretty annoyed if anyone told me that my or my language’s/culture‘s perspective is somehow wrong.

So, as the person above my way too lengthy post already said: we‘re not all Romans. And in my humble opinion, that‘s a good thing. So stop policing other people on stuff like this, just because they have a different perspective on this. Emphasis on the word DIFFERENT by the way. Different, not wrong.

I think I'm gonna start using he/him for the moon on purpose now.

Translation for all our non-german friends:

New fandom + new Song = the best

You know, whenever I get a new phase because of a new fandom that I’m into, the whole thing immediately links itself to the music I'm listening to right now. Every time. Even though often, the music doesn’t even really fit, I still always associate this fandom with this one particular song and vice versa. I always think it’s a bit funny when I look at other fanmade playlists and the songs that I associate with the fandom of course don't appear in them at all. My latest obsession: Spatort (Tatort Saarbrücken, for those of you who don't know that) paired with the song "See You Again" by Roosevelt. Probably doesn't fit together at all but fuck it.

Neues Fandom + neuer Song = Beste

Wisst ihr, immer wenn ich ne neue Phase wegen eines neuen Fandoms bekomme, verknüpft sich das ganze auch immer mit der Musik die ich grad höre. Jedes Mal. Obwohl häufig die Musik vielleicht noch nicht mal wirklich dazu passt, assoziiere ich dieses Fandom trotzdem immer mit diesem einen Song und umgekehrt. Find‘s immer ein bissl witzig, wenn ich dann in andere Fan-Playlists gucke und die Songs die ich damit verbinde natürlich so gar nicht darin vorkommen. Meine neuste Obsession: Spatort (Tatort Saarbrücken, für die die das nicht wissen) gepaart mit dem Song „See You Again“ von Roosevelt. Passt wahrscheinlich so gar nicht zusammen aber scheiß drauf.

math exam poem

I wrote a poem during my maths exam because I didn’t know how to solve any of the problems. It’s not very good, it doesn’t even rhyme properly, but a friend told me I should post it here, because she thinks it’s nice, so here I am.

blue little dots, all on my white skin, my good grade slips away

was there ever a way, I could’ve not drawn dots, was there a way without poetry?

my words aren’t good, my words aren’t sound, but they’re better than my equations

my life will take a turn for the better, once I stop procrastinating

was too afraid, so I didn’t study, the result you can see right here

three math problems, none of them solved, but I wrote poetry

my words aren’t good, my words aren’t sound, but they’re better than my equations

my words aren’t good, my words aren’t sound, do you find yourself relating?

yeah, the “blue little dots” line is about those dots I put on my left hand during the exam
