It takes me a random Wikipedia rabbit hole about the Brocken to find out that

The creator of Bibi Blocksberg and Benjamin Blümchen was married to PETER LUSTIG???

cannot get over lucretia making up some bs story about the red robes and barry floating around ominously doing NOTHING to prove otherwise.....like he's dispensing cryptic messages and killing people as a FLYING ROBED SKELETON and then going "wait you don't trust me? 🥺 " heartbreaking for him but objectively hilarious

#honestly loved that for him

Some open world games: we are going to put natural barrier at the edge of our playable area such as sea or montains

Other open world games: we are going to have a message saying the player can't go any further

Golden Sun, The Lost Age: actually the world is canonically flat and at the edge of it there are big waterfalls falling into nothing.

Golden Sun, The Lost Age: that is like. A major plot point.

#this will never not be funny to me #also standing at the edge of the world at an island that is almost all consumed by the waterfall is such an odd feeling #like.. you stand there. and you know... below is the abyss and people live right next to it

Btw Lower Saxony is where I was born and raised but I was kind of difficult to think of these twelve options? 🙈

#i have never been to lower saxony before #also why did i think the harz was not in lower saxony #i have no opinion on lower saxony #except that im always upset that it doesnt feel lower on the map than actual saxony

Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.

#while youre in the tunnel #decorate it #carve out a secret room #make a lantern post #set a camp fire of safety to return to #and one day you will leave the tunnel and be better

i thought id share but I had a dream where you had a post that was english, then randomly descended into german and i complained about not being able to understand the rest of the post at you. very silly

I'm impressed my blog has managed to occupate your dreamscape. So - I hope my weird post in English was at least something useful, bevor der einfach so ins Deutsche abgedriftet ist. Ist halt schon ein Unding, dass ich hier einfach bilingual poste und die Sprachen durcheinander werfe. Was für eine Unart und eine Respektlosigkeit gegenüber Mutuals und Followern, die kein Deutsch sprechen. Ich würde so etwas natürlich nie irl machen. ;)

#ty for sharing this #genuinely entertaining and maybe the gift of prophecy #obsidianflow #obsessed with this #my goal is to just force german language and culture on non german speaking mutuals like the english internet does to me

If you live in the EU

This is your reminder to make sure you have everything ready to go vote on June 9!!! Eu Parliament elections influence the EU politics and alignments and future regulations on a large scale. Regulations that get passed in the EU Parliament influence your own individual Governments laws and law changes, since each country's law has to abide by the EU legislative!

Also - if you're busy on the date of elections, get your Vote by Mail documents NOW!!!!

Do students in the US actually use pencils on exams? What about a dokumentenechter Stift? Pencils are not dokumentenecht? The entire Bundesrepublik Deutschland would explode if you used a non dokumentenechten Stift in an exam.

I had a very interesting discussion about theater and film the other day. My parents and I were talking about Little Shop of Horrors and, specifically, about the ending of the musical versus the ending of the (1986) movie. In the musical, the story ends with the main characters getting eaten by the plant and everybody dying. The movie was originally going to end the same way, but audience reactions were so negative that they were forced to shoot a happy ending where the plant is destroyed and the main characters survive. Frank Oz, who directed the movie, later said something I think is very interesting:

I learned a lesson: in a stage play, you kill the leads and they come out for a bow — in a movie, they don’t come out for a bow, they’re dead. They’re gone and so the audience lost the people they loved, as opposed to the theater audience where they knew the two people who played Audrey and Seymour were still alive. They loved those people, and they hated us for it.

That’s a real gem of a thought in and of itself, a really interesting consequence of the fact that theater is alive in a way that film isn’t. A stage play always ends with a tangible reminder that it’s all just fiction, just a performance, and this serves to gently return the audience to the real world. Movies don’t have that, which really changes the way you’re affected by the story’s conclusion. Neat!

But here’s what’s really cool: I asked my dad (who is a dramaturge) what he had to say about it, and he pointed out that there is actually an equivalent technique in film: the blooper reel. When a movie plays bloopers while the credits are rolling, it’s accomplishing the exact same thing: it reminds you that the characters are actually just played by actors, who are alive and well and probably having a lot of fun, even if the fictional characters suffered. How cool is that!?

Now I’m really fascinated by the possibility of using bloopers to lessen the impact of a tragic ending in a tragicomedy…
