heyhey!! just wanted to say your works are amazing and i love them so so so SO much aagghhh!!

now onto the request— what if,, what if reader knew a ton of languages like nikolai does, and they call their s/o pet names in those languages. an example would be,, maybe if they knew french they would say 'mon chéri' or perhaps they picked up romanian at some point and would call them 'dragă'

the characters i have in mind are price, nik, alejandro, & rudy, if that's okay !! (´▽`)

sorry for the super long ask, lol :')

Hey there! Thank you, that makes me really happy to hear :D And don't worry about sending longer asks, I really don't mind ^^ Also, that request is really cute! I love reader speaking several languages and being a sweetheart in all of them :D

Price, Alejandro, Rodolfo and Nikolai with an S/O who Knows Many Languages

Price: I think he knows quite a few languages himself, being a captain in the SAS and all. Not nearly as many as Nikolai, but he probably knows a good three to four languages, so he likely wouldn’t be entirely clueless when you call him something along the lines of mon petit chou fleur. While he won’t understand every term of endearment you call him, it does warm his heart to hear you speak a language he doesn’t know. It flows off your tongue very nicely and he just loves listening to you. Depending on what kind of language it may be, even the profanities sound nice. Although whenever you want to get his attention, just to call him something in a language he doesn’t understand, he sort of expects it to be some cute pet name. Will always smile at you, even if you were to call him your albernes kleines Kaninchen. Retorts with a pet name in one of the languages he speaks. Sometimes he does feel the urge to learn a new language, just for you. Or maybe you could learn a new language together? Practice with each other and just have a good time overall? He might bring up the idea at some point.

Alejandro: Like Price, he probably knows a few languages himself. More than the average person, but not nearly as many as Nikolai. So probably three to four as well. However, because he knows Spanish there’s a good chance he can derive most words in a Romance language. Call him something along the lines of giliw and he’ll always retort with some embarrassing pet name in Spanish. Yes, he knows several languages himself, but that doesn’t mean he won’t almost always revert to Spanish anyway. Pretends that you’re using your languages against him and calls you a traitor. And, as is the rule in your household when you’ve betrayed him, you will be held accountable. Lots of chasing through the house. Will “interrogate” you to get you to tell him what you said. Call him a term of endearment in Spanish and you won’t ever hear the end of it. No matter how many times he hears you call him guapo, he always gets that goofy grin on his face. Might research embarrassing terms of endearment to use on you in any other language. And yes, his goal is to find a language you don’t speak. Once he’s found one? He’s not gonna let you live it down. He’s bested you, and that’s all he wanted.

Rodolfo: You’d actually have to call him by his name if you want his reaction since he usually just tends to block out people speaking a language he doesn’t know. Why bother trying to understand someone like that? It’s not like he’ll learn the language overnight anyway. Rodolfo knows about three languages, so not as many as Alejandro. But he knows English and Spanish, which means he can communicate in most places anyway. He thinks he knows enough languages since learning one takes roughly an eternity and he doesn’t have the time for that anyway. Call him Cục vàng and he’ll just look at you as though you’ve grown a second head. You’d have to tell him what it means and then he’ll smile. While he will always appreciate a good Hartlam, he might look at you confused until you tell him you love him. Might not always retort with a pet name of his own, but will mix it up among the languages he does know since he doesn’t wanna seem too stupid next to you. Will also sometimes look up new terms of endearment in languages he doesn’t know so he can surprise you, but might get a bit shy since he might botch the pronunciation a bit. But he tries, and that’s all that matters.

Nikolai: He canonically knows eight languages, so there’s a good chance he knows what you’re saying. Even when you’re saying something in a language he might not entirely know, he might be able to derive the word from a language he does know. Although he may love any pet name you give him, he especially loves any Russian ones since he’s very attached to his country and his native tongue. Goes absolutely wild whenever you call him radnoy. There’s just something so sweet about you calling him something nice in Russian, doesn’t even matter if you botch the pronunciation. Will always give you a hug and a kiss to your forehead since he will always be reminded of how much he loves you. But even a simple min søde skat will get him to smile, even if he has no idea what it means this time. Because of you he might be inspired to pick up some new languages along the way, maybe even ones you don’t know so you can get the same treatment he does with you. Whenever you speak a language he doesn’t know he gets heart eyes for you. You’re just so gorgeous, you’re just so very smart. However, at some point he will just start speaking Russian to you, even if you don’t know the language. He won’t say anything mean, he’ll just tell you how precious you are and how much he loves you.

bringing some of this out of previous tags, but something incoherent about the escalation of ‘dolls’ throughout the series, and the (obviously gendered) difference between ‘dolls’ and ‘puppets.’ including but not limited to:

john’s first forays into necromancy as puppeteering ‘Titania’ and ‘Ulysses,’ who are explicitly named as ‘extensions’ of john, which progress to the puppeteering of the world leader, which progresses to the apocalypse and john fashioning the parts of earth he doesn’t consume (alecto) a barbie-shaped vessel.  back in gideon the ninth, cytherea’s puppeting (explicitly called this, i believe) of protesilaus, to be contrasted with cytherea’s own doll-like position. both in her posturing as someone who needed to be carried, adjusted, coddled and in the broader uncanniness of pretending to be dulcinea septimus, of being a passable but undead ‘fake’ substitution of the living ‘real’ dulcinea.* all of the victorian energy also undeniably relevant. all of this progressing to cytherea’s body being a doll? a puppet? a weapon? for commander wake in harrow. the role she forced upon others and enacted being enacted on her own body in death.  rocking back up to nona, where images of dolls and puppets abound. though ianthe describes it as puppeting, naberius body is described, by others, in a way that’s much more suggestive of a barbie doll (“fashion hair” echoes the “hollywood hair barbie”). and naberius, furthermore, stands apart from the multitude of soldiers ianthe is also controlling from a distance. mixed with corona getting quite literally dolled up (hair refashioned, and ianthe’s fixation on the poor condition of corona’s hair, and put into a dress) once pulled back under ianthe’s control (to whatever degree we believe her to be). the doll as a particular extension of oneself, perhaps laced with intimacy? naberius as the conduit through which ianthe can (insufficiently) touch coronabeth; john’s romantic desire for annabel (and his occasional inability to sleep without her comforting him); even the fact that naberius becomes the vessel for palamedes and conduit through which he and camilla can become paul. (noting that camilla and palamedes sharing a body is framed outside of this language, possibly because camilla actively consents, for good or ill, to the process?)  (in dialogue with all of this, the way BOE encodes the lyctors as ancient weapons, and kiriona’s assertion that she is fulfilment of the nine house’s arts, stronger than titanium, faster than a speeding bullet: a weapon in the shape of a corpse, a prince, a girl. [to be a very dead weapon-body rather than a tragically alive one.] [also, as an aside, how her mother conceived of her: a bomb in the shape of a baby.] [also obviously related is that the out-of-house derogatory term for necromancers and cavaliers being, respectively, zombies and minions.])  i do not have a thesis statement, of course, but i think there is a clear development of a theme and some symbols and language that may be helpful to return to later or to unpick some of the various (and very gendered) ways agency is or is not present in necromancy.  * very known, but i think the fact that cytherea and dulcinea are both subjected to the same cancer-eugenics and arrive at a near indistinguishable state, that they are in some ways duplicates of each other, takes on a really compelling sheen in the wake of her comment that john, explicitly, is building a static society.  

#nona the ninth #cytherea the first #ianthe naberius #nona spoilers #the locked tomb #m: tlt meta #i have to do a reread of freud she said neutrally #i have to reread all about that living doll and the swapping of eyes and Whatever #something around naberius' body is potentially a foothold into a reading that paul is not as distinct from lyctorhood or jodhood #as paul may wish to be but that's also immensely speculative without more of alecto #i did not say this explicitly but i think it is very clear that men and anonymous masculine masses are more frequently puppets #and there is something happening with babs-as-doll and also john's childhood affection for barbie #sorry this is very high school me laying out my quotes to write about Imagery Sets #perhaps i will return one day with an actual argument stay tuned

Hey Asmi,

I saw the whole geographic revelations post and I just have to ask: What are your thoughts on Bielefeld?

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never heard of it. Just purely based on reading the name, do you think it exists?

Btw this question is for… science… kinda

H-hello maggot *trembles at seeing the word geographic* Um. Um. Well.

On one hand, Transylvania apparently exists (I'm so sorry to my Romanian maggots for thinking you were a mythical and/or extinct, albeit beautiful, land. At least you were all nice about it. My knowledge of India is even worse than my global knowledge, so when I go outside here, which I rarely do, my strategy is to keep my mouth shut.)

So given that Transylvania exists, I'm inclined to say yes to everything ever. On the other hand, that name looks suspiciously innocent. Now I have geographical trust issues. Thanks, maggots.

I'm gonna say... uh. Uh. Yes?

I'm beginning to question everything. I have been reliably informed that Wakanda is not real. Mongolia is real. I'm going to assume SoHo from good omens is real. Loch Ness is apparently an actual place. Is Birmingham in London, I couldn't make out from the Staged episode. Oceania is not an underwater kingdom that Barbie: A Mermaid's Tale made up.

Life is a lie.

And to those who asked why I don't google these things: I am afraid of the bloody internet and all the political can of worms that X throws at my face whenever I google anything related remotely to politics, which countries fall under. I do not want to know about the mayor of some city's affair with the undersecretary's second-cousin and the resultant wave of transphobia. I am afraid.

Now I rely on you all and the nice and accurate education that tumblr is, hopefully, giving me.

#good omens mascot #weirdly specific but ok #asmi #maggots #good omens #HOW MUCH OF THE PLACES THEY MENTIONED IN GOOD OMENS WERE REAL #HELP #barbie #tumblr-schooling #not the inventor of oceania apparently #staged #geography #every day is school day #geography lessons by the maggots to their now home/tumblr-schooled child #life is a lie #i know nothing #wahoo

Barbie Rewind is a 2023 release "celebrating the 80s". (The branding around it indicates that they plan to do different eras too - but at the moment, they're 80s style).

When I first saw the branding, I thought this was another set of rereleases of classic Barbies - like the careers throwback set from 2021 celebrating Barbie's best careers from over the years. However, while Barbie had a lot of very similar looks in the actual 80s, the Barbie Rewind series is more of a nostalgic look back than it is actual rereleases.

For example, "Career Girl" Barbie doesn't look much like Day to Night Barbie from 1985, but both dolls are evoking the same high-power career girl aesthetics.

"Girls Night Out" Barbie isn't the same as the Barbie and the Rockers releases, but she could fit in as a member of the band without raising too many questions.

Technically, School Fun Barbie is from 1991, not from the 80's, but I personally can't help but see the similarities between her and Schoolin Around Barbie.

not adhering to your country’s standards of beauty really kinda sucks

#i worked today with my manager and coworker who is an esthetician and they both got botox done in the store #it was administered by our other esthetician who quite literally has the face of a barbie doll #i naturally have fuller lips and so i know that’s something that’s desire because they were literally getting it done in their lips and #foreheads but still each day i just feel so ugly compared to them #nobody in school ever found me attractive because i wasn’t thin i wasn’t white and i wasn’t short and adorable #i just wish i didn’t look like the opposite of what is considered attractive even though parts of my features are desired #it’s such an odd conflict and i just look around and see how i’m not like them which can be a good thing considering a lot of people don’t #like the fact that they could get lost in a crowd #but i see how different i am and i feel so separate from them and wish i could fit in #anyway i started my period a few hours ago at work that’s probably what’s going on #shut up chelsea
