i smile encourangily at thr five nervous sailors standing in front of me ask they gather the courage to ask me a question. "what do you call a trans person" the standing in front of me asks bravely. "their name", i answer. the all nod solemnly, as if this information was grave and important. one starts taking notes on his phone

Oh my god. Are you serious?? You're a Walter Moers fan? For real?? 😭😍

i think "fan" undersells the fundamental influence the zamonia series had and has on my my life. my dad used to read captain bluebear to us when we were little and had to stop in the middle of the book when he switched jobs. i, and this is not a joke, taught myself how to read to finish it, making it the first book i ever read. it has shaped my humor and my storytelling so much that you could probably reverse engineer my entire character from it. it is, and i cannot stress this enough, THE book of all time.

i would say to this day roughly every 100th sentence i say is in one way or another a reference to captain bluebear from the overt (knowledge is night) to the more subtle (you dance i go with the hat) to the nearly unrecognizable (let's compare clocks) to referencing books within the book (it was quiet, too quiet as prince kaltbluth would say) or myths within the book (as we all know, witches always stand between briches) to just the outright absurd (i am a pearl of sweat...) but the thing that i quote the most, the absolute most is the ending, because it genuinely shaped my life philosophy, and led to many of the insane decisions i have made so far:

it smelled like a hint of cinnamon, and fire burning in the distance. to make it short, it smelled like adventure. you have to give fate a chance, he thought.

life philosophy right there. and YOU should read The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers. give fate a chance!!!

#walter moers #i love that book so so so so so so much the whole series please it is my life... #anon send me your favourite chapter so we can rehash the memories... #sorry i probs butchered the quote trandlating it and from memory and everything

what are the 10 side blogs

as walter moers writes in his influential children book "the 13½ lives of captain bluebear" you should only ever reveal half your secrets at once to preserve a bit of mystery, so here are five of my sideblogs (in order of least to most stupid):

placeofhonour - about the end of the world, or about guilt, or about both

ianusworte - my poetry blog, where i also sometimes crosspost poetry from twitter

nauticastro - space themed stuff, mostly historical, that i want to use for my research

prachtbarsch - this blog is about my favourite fish, the perch. you would not get it

schabernackgang - a blog about my friends. about boys being boys. about shenanigans

i love going through these like it's the newspaper also sorting is fun. tumblr superior social media for letting me do this

#thank you for asking......love showing my side blogs
