[[i love words // writing systems my beloved // stuff about or in non-english languages is tagged '<language name> language']]
it’s always ok to dm me about something i’ve posted about or talked about in tags, but messages that just say "hey" will not be answered
asks are usually open, do knock yourself out. i'm always happy to share factual information related to inside no 9, the league of gentlemen, reece shearsmith’s acting work, pembersmith lore etc
[[answered asks // asks game]]
tags are sometimes for categorisation, sometimes for yapping and trauma dumping. i have other blogs where i'm a lot stricter with my tagging, so i cut myself some slack in this, my diary
if you would like to support me or show appreciation, here is my tip jar
fics'n'fanworks masterpost of my fics, fanvids, podfics and webweaves. also tagged stuff i made along with gifs and creative stuff that doesn't fall under the pembersmith fanworks umbrella
TAGS OF NOTE

Shit like this can really only happen in Europe. Reminds me of the time I took my best shot at ordering at a restaurant in Spain in spanish. The closest language to spanish that I actually speak is latin.
Waiter: Germany?
Me: No, Czechia.
Waiter, in a heavily accented but intelligible Czech: Why didn’t you say so before! We get you guys here all the time!
Já v roce 2019 na Ukrajině: OK, takže když použiju tohle staročeský slovo, přidám polský sloveso, své chabé znalosti záhoráčtiny a řeknu to s ruskym přízvukem, tak to projde.
[Me in 2019 in Ukraine: ok so if i use this Old Czech word, add a Polish verb, my poor knowledge of the Záhorie dialect of Slovak and say it with a Russian accent, it might pass]
Reminds me of the time when we were in Poland and I tried to order a burger using a truly unholy mix of Slovak, Russian and Ostrava dialect (which in itself is like an unholy mix of Czech and Polish).
I know Ukrainians who can do this on purpose and masterfully, and it was mind-blowing to hear a speech as immediately understandable to an audience of native speakers of three different native Slavic languages, not just two languages as is common
During one student exchange I (a Pole) got acquainted with two students from Czechia and Russia. At first we talked in English or German, but after a while we’ve noticed, that we could understand each other’s native languages just fine. And if some word was unknown in one language, another one had the right synonym.
*Each of us talking in their mother tongue*
Me: Bla bla bla.
Russian: I don’t know this “bla”.
Czech: Oh, we have “bla”! We also call it “that”!
Russian: Oh I know “that”! It’s a very old version of “this”.
Me: Oh, we have “this” too, but it means something slightly different.
German acquaintance: Was für nen Scheiß zieht ihr da ab? o_O
the reason there aren't slavic people in the bible is that they wouldn't have been surprised or awed to hear the disciples speak in tongues and be understood by people of many nations at once
As a non-native speaker of Czech who is only conversationally proficient and has terrible grammar, let me tell you, no one was more surprised than I was to discover that I can understand Slovak just fine. And when the two moving guys finished hauling my furniture to my new apartment and we were chatting a bit before they left, I discovered that the reason I'd had a little trouble understanding one of their "accents" was because he was speaking Ukrainian the whole time.

Some niche fanart for you - Len and Tommy as Mozart and Salieri from Mozart l'opéra rock!
I'm going to assume you know the Inside No. 9 episode (if not, go watch it!!), but some context for the musical - it is the final song, Mozart is dying and Salieri is reconciling with him. From this duet that they sing, I picked these lines:
S'il faut mourir
Sur nos stèles je veux graver
Que nos rires ont berné
La mort et le temps
Which means something like:
If we must die
I want to engrave onto our gravestones
That our laughter fooled
Death and time

Friendship. The only effective remedy to loneliness, and my favourite kind of love. I hadn't drawn it in a while, but this little gem of a tv series reminded me of how precious it is. Friendship, and a little magic.

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias
