so i googled Waltersobchakeit and it's a character from the big lebowski so not legit... :(
*sigh* I figured. I know enough about German to know that the longer words are usually compound ones, and I couldn’t recognize any base elements.
I just wasn’t 100% sure.
Ah, spuri, something I've been meaning to ask ever since I realised you're from Bergen - was there some kind of... idk, excitement in the city when Ylvis (who are also from there or at least live there) became so popular last year? Or was it just same old, same old?
Oh, the entire country flipped out, trust me, it was ridiculous. We, uh, don't get a lot of international fame here, so when we do, we generally collectively lose our shit. Or, well, at least the media does...
Normal people do too, though, I mean, if you go to ANY given youtube video by a Norwegian person/artist, I guarantee at least half the comments are something along the lines of "THEY'RE FROM NORWAY, I'M SO PROUD TO BE NORWEGIAN, OMG!"
Honestly, it's, uh, pathetic and kind of embarrassing...
Hi spuri, would you lend me your mad Japanese skillz for a moment? I'm just interested in finding out if the Japanese in the first two gifs here swingsetindecember(.)tumblr(.)com/post/98761311752 makes any sense.
Well, let's see then...
ahaha, it's google translate. Or similar. They're close, though!
But sadly, it says "Romance Academy of time magic's cherry blossom petals in bloom... You never know what will happen."
Except I'm not entirely sure that compound word of "time" and "magic" works
"Time" was supposed to be "when", anyway, but when you use toki (time) for "when in Japanese, it's put at the end of the sentence, not the beginning
The way "romance academy" is written, it looks like a name, which I'm pretty sure wasn't what they wanted to do
The petals aren't in bloom, it's the cherry blossoms/cherry trees that are in bloom, jfc, how did they mess that up even in English?
They're missing a particle, ga, after hanabira (petals) so it sounds kinda caveman-ish (expressed with a lack of "are" in my translation there)
Um, yeah. I think that's it? They almost got it right, and yet, they were so far away... I'm not really sure how I'd phrase it myself, though, 'cause jfc, that sentence is painfully dumb even in English. Like the previously mentioned blooming petals, and wtf even is "magic romance academy"? I'm assuming it's poking fun at anime with shitty English subs.
(I'm the person who wrote to you sometimes as "ace anon". Finally got a tumblr yesterday and plan to write some stuff about asexuality there, too. Later, though. Gotta start slow.) Okay, so, for the ace asks: Donut (because the one time I did this, ugh, share my pain), Fruitcake (because I can't think of any), and Chiffon cake (can't think of one for that either o___O).
Hi again! Congrats on your lovely new tumblr account, hope you'll like it here :D Just ease into it, and I'm sure you'll manage to fill your dash with excellent people whose posts you enjoy in no time. Now, onwards to the meme!
Donut - Ever faked a crush? I've... fooled myself into thinking I had a crush/assumed I had a crush, like, three times in my life, or so? On a celebrity when I was about 15 or so, on this super dork of a classmate when I was 17, and one of my best guy friends when I was 19. They were more like squishes, though, especially in the latter two cases.
Fruitcake – Favourite ace-related pun or joke at the moment? Oh man, I'm so extremely bad at remembering jokes, so I'm not really the right person to ask. But I've seen puns about Artemis being an aro (arrow) ace around here on tumblr, which I find awesome and hilarious. XD
Chiffon cake – Favourite song with no sexual/romantic themes at the moment? Oh man, forcing me to choose a single song is like torture. Argh. I'm gonna pick two very different ones: If I Burn, by Emilie Autumn, because she's a fucking genius at portraying emotions using her voice, and I'm absolutely fascinated at how angry and mentally unhinged she sounds in it. Plus, it's gorgeous and I love singing it, and it's secretly my Peter Hale headcanon song. And the second is Comfort, by The Weepies. It's super adorable and it's one of those songs that really lowers my blood pressure, and cheers me up if I'm feeling down. It does contain the line "and turn to one you love", but my interpretation, at least, is that it isn't about romantic love, but about... idk, not letting the scariness of life overwhelm you, but instead accepting love and support from family/friends, and letting that help you through it.

For your ace asks: Tiramisu and Better-than-sex cake. :3
Tiramisu – When did you realize you were asexual? Oh, wow, finding out I was asexual was a long and winding road. I've always known I wasn't made the same way as other people, ever since I was a teenager, but I thought there was just something wrong with me. For the longest time, I didn't actually know asexuality was a real sexuality. I'd heard the term, but thought it was a joke, or something, I guess. Then, I don't know, six years ago, I was desperately researching basically all known sexualities to see if there was somewhere I fit in. Sadly, the description I found of asexuality back then didn't fit me (describing a complete lack of libido, basically), and nothing else did, either, so I gave up for a couple of years more. Then I started lurking on tumblr (and later joined), and almost immediately saw an explanation of demisexuality, and at first, I thought this was it, because it was pretty close, y'know? And then, over a couple of months, I learned more about asexuality, and learned of the term "squish", which was much more accurate for the things I'd originally thought were crushes. And slowly, I went through my very paltry romantic history and my feelings, and kind of got over that knee-jerk fear I had for being asexual, and knowing I'd never be attracted to someone. Because demisexuality felt safer at first, to me at least, thinking that maybe someday I could find someone. It took a while for me to get over that very ingrained feeling of "You Need A Significant Other. You Need Romance And Sex To Be Happy".
TL;DR, I finally settled in my identity pretty much exactly two years ago, I think? Like, summer/fall 2012.
Better than sex cake – What’s your favourite better-than-sex activity? Oooh, that's a tough one. I'm tempted to say reading, because I love the excitement of discovering new stories - and rediscovering old loved ones - but I think I'm gonna have to go with singing, actually. I literally cannot live without singing, and few things make me happier than getting really into the emotions of a particular song. It's the best way to cheer myself up, or get my mind off of things - or even ease symptoms of migraines or car sickness.
SPURI YOU MADE HATTIE'S CUTE NEIGHBOUR WITH CUTE CAT STORY INTO A STEREK STORY THANK YOUUUUUUUU~
You're very, very welcome, it was a bunch of fun. :D I'm pretty sure my literal first thought upon reading it was "this needs to be sterek". Took me a while to work out how I wanted to do it, though. Like, who to cast in which role, 'cause BOTH WORK, Y'KNOW? BOTH IS ALWAYS GOOD.
And then there's me doing neither the "girl thing" nor the "boy thing" but just kind of weirdly grabbing one side of my shirt's arm and putting my arm through it and folding it in front of my chest and then octopussing my way all the rest of the way out.
Oh hey, that method! XD Shirt removal, man. Such an interesting and diverse topic.
