It's Really Fun - Tumblr Posts
niche fanfiction
i am in the midst of writing a very niche chatfic about a show i used to watch when i was younger. and you might think it can't be that niche, and to that i say: i mean, i don't know, i haven't really checked if there's anything from that fandom on ao3 yet, BUT like, i do not know if there's an audience for this specific fic expect for me, lmao.
so this show was called "Das Haus Anubis", which is the german version of the dutch-language television series "Het Huis Anubis". for context, i'm from germany, and so i watched some of this show when it aired on nickelodeon and i loved it. i don't know how well the other versions did, but this was apparently a hit in germany. i'm rewatching it right now since it's on netflix now, and so i kind of spontaneously decided to write a chatfic about the characters. i'm also writing it in english, cause i'm more confident in my english writing.
so i am writing this chatfic about the german adaption of a dutch show that aired from 2009 to 2012 on nickeleodeon, that's already really damn specific. i'm also writing it in english, so that limits the target audience even further. now you might say 'maybe people from other countries watched this show on netflix with subtitles or something-' YOU CAN'T. there is only german audio and german subtitles, YOU CAN ONLY WATCH THIS SHOW IN GERMAN.
that means the target audience for this fanfiction are german people who've watched this show and care enough for it to read a fanfic about it, specifically a chatfic, and who'd rather read it in english than in german.
and i AM going to publish this to ao3. i'm writing this for myself and because it's fun, of course, but i would still like to publish it.
no one is going to read this but me, and i think that's fucking hilarious.
ps.: if anyone is interested in reading this, feel free to check it out when it's done, but it'll make absolutely no sense probably.
here's my rain world quiz! 50 questions, multiple choice, vanilla and downpour. i think it's pretty hard, but i hope people have fun playing it????
Since my PJO brainrot is back in full swing I went back to check out my notes on the sun and the star and let me tell you as an Italian that book was a whole experience ( I mean it mostly in a positive way I swear )
Allow me to elaborate
Nico, my man , my bestie, my dude is actually called NICCOLO. I know this doesn't seem like much but it's such a normal regular name I was stunned speechless. Do I know someone named Percy? Or Annabeth? Or Even Bianca?No. Do I know someone named Niccolo?? YES. Don't ask me to elaborate further , this was just extremely weird
Then there was this part were Nico tells us his mother had him learn Dante.
And honestly this feels like Rick looked up "Italian+author+hell" and went along with the first thing that came up. Rationally I know that he probably put a little more thought behind this but to me this felt so random. I don't know how things were in the 1930s but I'm pretty sure people didn't just read those books to literal children. Yes ,the Divine Comedy was very important in the development of the Italian language but my brother is eight years old and guess what? I'd never read him those books. We don't even know about them until middle school. Unless Maria di Angelo was a very passionate literature teacher I really don't see why she would read those books to Nico. I'm laughing so hard at the mental image of Rick going " Yes, Italians probably love this man so much that they have parts of his works memorized from an early age" like babe no we immediately forget about him one day after finishing high school.
3. Not happy, Rick then proceeded to say this about Dante's inferno , which honestly made me laugh so hard
If you want to warm up your kid to the idea of Underworld you should just not use these books and not just because of Dante's non-existent survival skills. They are extremely gory, the souls there are obviously full of despair and they get tortured in the most awful and depressing ways it's very much not appropriate for a child. I'm imagining Maria tucking her sweet little son in and then opening the Inferno and going " these people were awful in life so now they rot in a swamp and eat each other for all eternity :)) Get your sleep so tomorrow we can read about those who were doomed to lay in flaming tombs and the ones that are eternally teared apart by ravenous dogs :)))"
4. Back to a sillier note we have this infamous word that killed me
Listen, I have no idea who Rick's source is but they have it very much wrong. On the other hand Maria's Italian is from the 1930s so it's most definitely me who's in the wrong , but still. Nowadays the spelling is "figliolo" and it's still kind of and awkward word that is being used less and less. This particular spelling makes it sound even more ancient and dramatic so I was immediately taken aback.
Now that I've thought about it a little more I'm pretty sure this spelling still exists but it's from a dialect, not proper Italian, so you use it only if you want to sound very dramatic. Tbh I've only ever heard southern Italian grannies say that so it checks out
GUYS??? i opened up Jetpack Joyride just now and THEY FINALLY ADDED MULTIPLAYER???? THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!
i literally went "WUH??? HUH??????" when i saw that glowing button lmaoooo. there are three modes that you can choose from: Classic Race, Star Dash and Zappy Bird. i got a race on my first go and it was really fun! unfortunately i forgot to record footage of me actually doing the race out of excitement BUT i did get to race against a player with a Star Trek costume which was very cool :D
they've actually had images of multiplayer on their app store page for a while now, such as this screenshot of two Barrys riding on their respective Mr. Cuddles vehicles:
this feature is AWESOME and i'd love to see it developed more in the future!! maybe something like a party mode would be really cool!!
EEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Thank you so much, Hun! This is very fun!! ^-^ Gislan is super pretty, Rudolfus is very fun and cute in his scarf, and Marvek looks really funny. Thank you!
It's a bit belated, but a very merry and blessed Christmas to you, my lovelies, @thegardenerknight, @thethiefinwhite and @lepetitcaporal! Thank you for all the fun times! <3
