Personal Space?

i was feeling numb and sad a lot today

but i decided to take learning languages more seriously from now on (again)

because i got obsessed with Bella Ciao (even though i've never seen La Casa Del Papel)

and I thought that I should probably try learning italian again

and of course german, because i need to get better at it

and possibly more languages that i don't take as seriously as those two

This leads her to team up with a pair of theives- rogue artificer Eisen Iyer and gun-slinging gourmet Telesphore Winterlich- on a madcap roadtrip across Belle Epoque Europe.

THIS TOO SHALL PASS

It's been... well not fine exactly, but I'm getting things done, so that's something.

For instance I finally finished watching N for Northwest

North by Northwest

It was fine

I got a bit bored near the end, maybe because I put off watching it for about a week.

And yesterday I started Onepiece (the Netflix version that came out recently)

It's cool

ROUND 4

the updated autopsy report

Is it really that important?: yes

Why is it important?:

it's iconic, and it's a much memed line in the fandom. also, it's actually plot-relevant, as it resets all the progress that you've made and really shows the shitty tactics edgeworth uses in court.

Cocoa (Hot chocolate)

Is it really that important?: At first you think it isn’t, but then it becomes like the most important object ever

Why is it important?:

Okay, so I’m hoping this counts, because the object isn’t a specific cup of cocoa but rather the cocoa itself, which is made new and served and drank in a variety of different cups by a variety of different people throughout the course of the series. Despite it being *technically* new cocoa every time it appears, it is still the same recipe and serves the same purpose in the story. The cocoa comes from a French cafe and is frequently imported and drank by the one of show’s main character: The Interviewer. The Interviewer adores the drink, and consumes and ungodly amount of it. To express his enthusiasm for it, he has described it as “as pure as the angles”, “divine as deity”, and “sweet as sin”. He frequently offers it to his clients, who are people that come to him asking to fake their death and start over with a new life. Almost all of these clients, as well every other character in the show that tries the cocoa, remarks on how incredibly delicious it is. For the first couple seasons, you think it’s just a funny running gag. As time goes on, however, it is revealed that the cocoa actually has magic healing properties. The recipe involves adding a substance nicknamed “Patience” that can fix wounds and cure illnesses and just make you feel better in general. That is one of the main reasons everyone loves it; though I’m sure the cocoa by itself was probably pretty good too. Additionally, the reason the Interviewer drinks so much of it is because he is actually over 3,000 years old, and has been using the cocoa to keep himself alive and basically immortal. This becomes very plot relevant when the Interviewer no longer has access to the magical version of cocoa and starts to die because of this lack.

Miles to go before we sleep…

being in a small fandom is like being given a bone, chewing on it until you're done with it, burying it in your backyard, and then digging that same chewed up bone months later to continue chewing on it, and then the cycle just repeats.

this is especially true for small fandoms that you know won't be getting any new content, so you just have to consume the content you've already consumed thousands of times before.
