#also as an albanian

[leroibobo]

al-jazzar mosque in acre, palestine. completed in 1781, it was named for the ottoman governor ahmad pasha al-jazzar - also known as "the butcher" for his defeat of napoleon bonaparte at the siege of acre in 1799.

#palestine #architecture #interior #worship #muslim #my posts #he was also the 'local ruler' mentioned in my post on the greek orthodox church of the annunciation in nazareth #also he was bosnian. balkanites in the middle east go way back #some me-an arab muslims may have bosnian/albanian surnames or surnames indicating a bosnian/albanian ancestor #it was an ottoman thing #which surnames stick is generally pretty disparate in ethnically mixed populations #white americans r the same. could have a german surname but the german ancestor came in the 1700s

Revised language learning plan for the rest of the year

#langblr #It's just a draft #I think I'll stick with Croatian for my EU language for now? #But I might do some taster sessions in some other languages to see how I vibe #Croatian just makes sense because of its mutual intelligibility with other slavic languages that might join the EU soon #But Greek and Hungarian are more urgently needed #There's also the option to learn Albanian or Georgian in the hope they make progress in the EU application #Turkish is pretty much frozen in negotiations but hnnnnng cool language

What are you're hcs about what kind of music would kosovo and albania listen to? ( Une e imagjinoj kosoven duke n'dëgju kenga ''moderne'' shqiptare me rap e ndersa shqiperia n'dëgjon kanga me qiftelia e sharkia qe GJITHE ja nisin me ''HEEEJJJ''.)

Thanks for The Ask! ÇuÇ

HAHA, Bul mir e Ki. Krysisht se (m’Doket) Kosovë e ka Më Shumë këng si Hip-Hop/Rap Krahasuar si Shqipni n’Vjet e Fudnit. Po, Hala është Mir më kën Pak ma i Veçtanë 🤲 E kom do “Playlist” më Këngat qe unë Mendoj qe Kosovë/Shqipni kishë Nigu, nëse Don per unë me ta Qu lol

I think that as Countries Themselves and Based on the Music of the Nation, like you said, Kosovo would be More into Rap/HipHop/Modern Music and Albania would Listen to Traditional Music kek

But, based on them as Characters:

Kosovo would Probably Still listen to Rap Songs, just Older Ones. A Big Example I think of is Tingulli 3nt (Trent) lol ((If Anyone even Remembers those guys Older Songs)); You can Also group in guys like Lyrical Son, MC Kresha, etc etc. If we’re Including American Music (+ a more Common View of Him), then probably Older Ones like Numb - Linkin Park, Radiohead, things Like That. He would Definitely Still enjoy Traditional Music, just not to the Extent of Albania…

Albania would, still, Listen to Traditional Music LOL. Quite literally Anything Albanian: From Ottoman Empire (Including Polyphony ones), Communist era, War Songs, and Such. What can I say? He’s a Traditional Guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I think he would Only make Exceptions for things like “Albanian HD” or “Në Ditën e Flamurit” which are Just Nationalistic Songs. His Favorite singer is Probably Ilir Shaqari (No Matter How accurate that is to the Actual Albanians in Albania lol. I don’t know, Actually.)

Does the fontaine prophecy remind anyone else of genesis? Like how in christianity we are all supposedly born with an "original sin" which is ALSO a consequence of the original humans (adam and eve) "betraying" God by not following his will, like how people from fontaines sin is (if i remember correctly) not siding with their archon.

In christian tradition people get baptized to enter the religion: being dipped in holy water by a religious authority to "wash away" the original sin. Fontainians who are dipped in holy water, or rather the primordial sea, instead disperse into it, their sin washes away but takes them with it.

Also, fontaine is obviously based on france, specifically taking a lot from eras in which faith was brought into the question (ie the enlightenment and pre revolutionary period based on some clothes being kinda baroque and the difference between the underground and the city) and the civilization before fontaine, remuria ruled by remus and based on rome.

In rome christianity was super not in fashion UNTIL a crazy plague hit and a religion that was mad into caring for the sick (Christianity) suddenly became popular as a result. Remuria fell because of Remus' attepmpts to prevent its fall and Rome fell because of political corruption (and a number of other things).

Oh just a btw dont take this as me talking about how god fearing fontaine is im just talking about what it reminded me of and why 🫶

TL;DR furina is jesus in a way.....

#what would that make neuvillette omg?? #peter? #joseph? #is childe JUDAS? #is that other harbinger i dont remember?? #anways #Fontaine #genshin impact #ohhh also!! #if this doesnt line up with how you were taught about christianity im sowwy 🫶 #my EXPERT background is that i went to a catholic school but not the culty kind like the be kind to everyone kind #they just made us watch the prince of egypt like 30 times to be honest #im like a moses scholar atp #also im greek orthodox but not in the intense way in the albanian way of uhhhh our family lied about our religion for years to maintain it #so its important but never in my life have i sat through a church service uhhhhh #yes. #im like 🫶 living my life

Tell us more about your Albania what are they like? I’m honestly curious abt them all but I’m so bad w questions I’m sorry ^^

you're all good!! :D i feel like my interpretation is a little different than what u would expect? but i went to a 1/4th albanian school and i swear all albanian dudes were JUST like this haha

i've somehow never drawn the dude before but i did a quick doodle for demonstration. albanian anime girl for image scaling purposes because i hate tumblr posts' ratio ❤️

his human name is arben because naming yourself a name that means "albanian" is very albaniacore u know... like he WOULD do that. he's best buddies with greece (although he finds him a little frightening) also super close to italy and likes america! very prideful and a bit hot-headed & he's that one guy who owns a big scary dog and tells u that u shouldn't worry because it's friendly. he's like,, rlly intense but if you're on his good side it's in an endearing way! he's also the kinda dude to just Make Up Shit to make others think he's cool. rat-coded

#he's made through very rose-tinted glasses because ive been instant besties with every albanian ive met so im biased #for some reason all the albanians i know have light brown or blonde hair #but like if you look up Albanian people its always dark haired folk. a mystery #oh also! him finding greece scary is a reference to ww2 stuff #maia talks #ask #balkan stuff

I just learned that people accuse rita ora of "blackfishing" and trying to look "ethnically ambiguous" so I looked her up and she literally just looks like an albanian woman???

americans know nothing but pasty inbred descendants of brits and germans and will accuse any european who doesn't look like that of trying to appear black

#she literally looks like one of the moms at my job #do people accuse dua lipa of race faking too? #funnily she also looks like a different albanian mom at my job

If someone tells you their name is [name], then that's their fucking name. Stop trying to find out what "their actual name" is

So-

I'm having a birthday party this Saturday, (it's also a friend's nameday and we decided to celebrate it together) So we made a group chat with everyone to invite them.

We mostly have common friends so like, approximately 10 of the kids are our common friends, 5 are mine and 5 are hers

But it's cool cause we all go to the same school so yknow, not everyone is that close but we'll manage

Except one person, I invited someone that my classmates don't know, actually 2 of them know this person and have been friends for years (I met this person through them) and my best friend has also met this person one or twice

So we're gonna name this person Bob, so, Bob is not a greek name.

Today one of my friends was like who is this "usernameman guy?"

And she was talking with my friend who's met the guy and my friend was like his name is Bob

But she was like "There's no way his name is bob" so that's why they called me and asked me what usernameman's name actually was and I'm like "it's bob"

"But how can it be bob? His parents named him that?"

"That's what he introduced himself to me as. I guess it may be a nickname but that's how people call him so"

"Well I'm gonna call him Mpampi then"(or something very greek starting with the letter of the guy's actual name)

"His name is Bob"

...

Like. Ok. I know- I can tell, Bob is not the name he was given by his parents, I know his very greek last name. I've overheard people calling him by a different Greek name.

Still. He introduced himself as Bob. Their Instagram bio has "Call me Bob, they/she/he" and fanart with the non binary flag as a photo profile

In greek you can't really refer to someone with they/them so they're always referred with he/him pronouns (tho I've noticed sometimes they use feminine words for themselves like καλή) honestly I've been meaning to ask if they would also like to be called η Bob instead of ο Bob etc

My friend dropped the subject assuming I just don't know "his actual name"

But later as we were waiting for the bus one of their friends (I mentioned above I met this person through 2 other people) was there so my friend was like "oh he must know! [Dude] do you know what is usernameman's name?"

And all 3 of us(me, dude and my best friend) replied together that it's Bob

"That can't be his name! Dude whats his name?"

Dude: "it's... Bob"

"Are you kidding me how can it be Bob?!"

At that point my best friend snapped like "What's gotten into you my[girl]? Can you just drop it? The human is named bob" (Μπομπ τον λένε τον άνθρωπο, sounds more friendly in greek)

At that time Dude's parents arrived so he left but I saw his face. He didn't want to have that conversation

I'm sure he knows "his actual name" since they've been friends for years

But if the person introduces themselves as fucking Bob then call them Bob, why you gotta ask everyone

#honestly she kinda annoyed me #like idk if shes that bothered by the non greek name cant she just assume the guy is albanian or something and move on #like half the kids from our class are from Albania and they have non greek names #why was she so freaked out by 'bob' #like everyone is telling you his name is bob why are you insisting #and ok sure i said 'i think it's a nickname' but THATS WHAT PEOPLE CALL HIM #why do you need his fucking ID #oof ok. just wanted to rant on here #*just to clarify i just came up with 'bob' for something to write here. Bob is not the actual name the person uses #you know what. now that i think about it #my friend (the girl who created the drama) technically doesn't use her real name either #shes written as something else but people call her like a different version of her name #like the last 2 letters are not used and she also writes it with ι instead of η and she doesn't like her 'actual' name at all #either cause it sounds ancient or boyish (at least i thought it was a boy's name when i first met her. but i guess i just didn't know #ancient grammar cause i heard a teacher saying η (ονομα) της (ονομα) and it sounded pretty girly) #what if we started calling her 'her actual name' now #sugarenia thoughts #sugarenia talks #sugarenia has friends #sugarenia vent #sugarenia rants

Before the albanian language became standardized, did kosovo has some difficulty understanding albania? (Since he spoke the gheg dialect and albania spoke the tosk dialect)

Thanks for the Ask! ÇuÇ

Definitely, lel. I Like To think that Hetalia Characters speak their Native Language but still Understand Eachother, so, I usually think that Little Kosovo would Speak his (Broken) Albanian to Albania, and misinterpret Most Things that Albania said. Now, Kosovo speaks Tosk (“Correct Albanian”, as Albania Says) to Albania. He Understands Both, though. Albania probably used to be Much More bothered by it, but, not As Much anymore.

i love that LeanBeefPatty is getting wrapped up in Balkan politics bc Greeks n Turks fight about the origin of greek yogurt in her comments...i expect her to have a take on North Macedonia and on Kosove by the end of the year

#also albanian yogurt (kos) is better than both sorry

[kitttenteeth]

Ronela KILLED all her chances to make it to the final

She had one job and that was keep her song in Albanian!!

#Eurovision #eurovision 2022 #turin #albania #wtf #the staging was better in her NF #today was atrocious sorry #her vocals also were better in her NF #and that mix of albanian spanish and english in the chorus is a BIG NO for me #what a pity because she could have easily qualified #smh
