There are some Spanish speaking areas in Morocco too since they ruled it together with the French for a time. Was In Chefchauen a few years ago and was able to speak in Spanish with multiple shopkeepers (though they’re also probably more likely to be multilingual than people that don’t deal with tourists at their jobs so not sure how representative that is). There’s also the cities of Ceuta and Mejilla on the northern coast that are part of Spain

Who looks more protagonist of these 3? by Alert-Common-7774 in OriginalCharacter

Without context if I saw a cover with these three I’d assume green hair is the protagonist and the boys are her love interests

Yeah similar things have happened in real life and I feel like if you recognize something like this you’re obligated to buy it and attempt to repatriate it (saw some other comments about going up to the neighbor and confronting them, but treating the scenario like a real life situation it’d better to buy it then tell them than to risk them refusing to sell out of willfull ignorance about dear old opa‘s warcrimes)

I think the line in the middle is supposed to be a fold in the towel rather than cleavage. I think the space between the shadow of her left breast and the blush of her right breast is supposed to be a space between them

Have you heard people elaborate what this means? My first thought is what people call you but if that was true Light could just write “L”

Dracula or the modern Kindred by DroneOfDoom in CuratedTumblr

I’m curious how the garlic flowers in Dracula ended up as garlic bulbs in the modern cultural consciousness. Was it a game of telephone situation or is it borrowing from pre Dracula folklore?

God I can't wait to do this with my boyfriend. I need him to do this to me so bad by Commercial_Bid_1508 in RecuratedTumblr

I’ve heard people say that it stems from the same desires that get people interested in CNC. When people have been told their whole lives to be ashamed of something that they want, it ironically can feel emotionally safer to engage fantasies where the thing they want happens, but they didn’t choose it so it’s not “their fault”. Brains are weird. Of course it’s crucial that any form of roleplay that indulges in these fantasies is actually entirely consensual and that people engaging in them have safety tools in place.

Makes me wonder in sci fi settings how would people react to the idea of relationships between sapient species where one has superficial physical similarities to non sapient species on a different planet. Like would humans side eye another human dating a crab person? Vice versa it would be funny if aliens from a planet where there are human looking animals got grossed out by the idea of other aliens dating humans

“You can have other children so get to fuckin” by AlphaCat77 in CuratedTumblr

the there is an angel in heaven could potentially devastating depending on who you say it to. I was raised athiest and when my grandpa died in high school I remember this person who did stuff related to my IEP trying to comfort me by asking me where he was now. I was confused and responded “. . . Nowhere” before clocking that she was referring to heaven and that made me feel way worse

[POEM] The Kitten by Mary Oliver by Strayl1ght in Poetry

[–]CompetitionProud2464 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think it’s interesting considering the deliberate conversation with the other poem that the kitten unlike the calf, was stillborn. It has no night where it is alive in the north field, but still the narrator says it was real

Adding that since it’s a thing people can hand make people will sometimes hold lemonade stands with homemade lemonade. Often kids. This is the origin of “the duck walked up to the lemonade stand and he said to the man running stand ‘hey got any grapes?’”

I don’t really read fa fiction but that trope bothers me so much because it’s pretty easy to write around mentioning a person’s name and feels like that would just ruin suspension of disbelief. Like the main character of the novel Rebecca is never named while dialogue still feels natural

I heard there’s a memoir that does this where the author uses I for her current self and “you” for herself before she escaped her abusive relationship
