oh one of the DEEPEST cuts you could make but I will do my BEST to deliver

“The Ghost of Tom Joad” by Bruce Springsteen

“The Jolly Bold Robber” performed by Nick Hart and Tom Moore

“Bows of London” by Martin Carthy

He didn't sign his name he gave an autograph

Jose's never had to start a Christmas card with an apology before. He's not even sure why he wants to apologise so badly. It's not guilt

Wenger/Mourinho

In December 2005 José sends Arsène a Christmas card to appoligise for calling him a voyeur. It gets overshadowed by their other incidents. But the Christmas card saga is so interesting to me.

Because I genuinely do think that José felt bad and wanted to appoligise but *spoiler alert* it backfired.

The fic is like a deep dive into what I think happened. And how two old (they weren' that old at the time) men could manage to fuck up a simple Christmas card.

Castellano was more popular in argentina in my experience

Fwiw in the Philippines Spanish is "Kastila" for both the language and the people)

Though it should be noted that Spanish was only ever widely spoken among the social elite, even during the occupation!

1. @theswimminglemon yeah but argentinian spanish sux so........

2. i might be biased in my perception of spain cause i noticed that in barcelona especially ppl seemed to use castellano but it’s interesting that it’s the same in madrid!

3. @bed-dweller do it it’s the kind of science we deserve pls

i've got my copy right in hand!! the cover art fucks severely! i just need to clear out my overdue books from the library* and i then i plan to turn to this

fic details below the cut. spoilers for six of crows!

*cloud cuckoo land is excellent but it's six hundred pages long and i can only take it in small bits. after that i have 1491 and a discworld, i think equal rites.

Ahh, that’s the noise and the melody, aka the epic tragedy of Pep Guardiola and Luis Figo:

At Barca, we're constantly surrounded by this deafening roar of noise, Guillermo once said to Luis. He'd been a little tipsy, which only made him look even more like a prince out of some glossy, tiresome tragedy. Pep, when we hear noise, he hears music. And sometimes he can even make it quiet for the rest of us.

Luis doesn't remember what he said in response, but he vividly remembers how it made Guillermo stare at him like he was a disappointing potential son- or brother-in-law.

Pep laughs when Luis puts it to him, a while later. "Guillermo is a good man who thinks politics is something that happens to other people."

"No, not that - the bit about hearing the music."

"Isn't that the kind of romantic nonsense you despise?"

Pep's eyes crinkle at the corners with his smile. It makes Luis feel a little less sane every time he notices, like he's barely clinging to the objective reality he so worships.

"I can be romantic."

"I don't doubt it."
