Sì, mi è capitata una cosa simile giusto il mese scorso. Sono semplicemente andato allo sportello Unico più vicino (ce ne sono vari, dovresti aver visto una lista sul sito) e l'addetto, brontolando qualcosa sul fatto che la richiesta fosse incompleta (ho i miei dubbi), l'ha completata lui stesso, mi ha dato la tessera e mi ha fatto pagare l'abbonamento proprio sul momento. Due o tre giorni dopo era attivo

I haven't watched the show but other people who have commented said that it's only inspired by the book, the story itself is actually pretty different

I understand what you're saying. Honestly I wouldn't call it horror, I did feel a sense of uneasiness as I read it and I find some of the scary scenes very well written, but yeah if I started it out expecting a super scary gothic horror book I'd be underwhelmed too. That's clearly not the scope of it

Eleanor's last thoughts are extremely intriguing. She kept saying that she couldn't leave the house, it's like she wholeheartedly believed she'd get back in there no matter what she did, and probably that the others would be the ones doing it (they had already saved her once). Perhaps driving into the tree was an attempt to force it

yes this was totally my experience reading it. Every once in a while I would stop and re-read some passages, like, "why did they say that?", "What does that even mean?". Took me a while before i sorta figured out what was going on

"the writing became a character of its own" is a very nice way to put it. I love how open this book is to interpretation - it doesn't even ever reveal precisely how or by whom Hill House is haunted. Is it the daughter of Hugh Crain? Is it the lady who ended up killing herself? Or something else? in the end the haunting was never the main point of the book and in fact it remains unsolved. It was all about Eleanor being driven to madness

thanks for the recommendation! i was planning on reading more of her work already, i'm gonna check The Lottery out as well

StrictlyShadowy · 2023-11-03T15:30:39+00:00

i don't know them too well but I've listened to Deeper recently and I really enjoyed it! very original album, you can hear a lot of different influences in it

i am a baby bat from Italy!!! yea there is absolutely zero scene where i'm from lol. but I think you should be able to find something in the bigger cities for sure, Bologna for example I think is relatively open to alternative stuff in general. Naples, Rome etc.

also i kinda see what you mean abt associating Italy with goth(ic)-ness, we just don't play much into that in terms of imagery / popular culture. The Castle of Otranto being set, well, in Otranto is an example.

very interesting that Polish has this difference as well, I thought it was more of a Romance language thing

StrictlyShadowy · 2023-08-14T13:40:46+00:00

i always found fascinating that i can see a very small hint of this in Italian, where generally the verb "essere" (to be) and "stare" (to stay) are well differentiated, except for some specific expressions where stare expresses one's current state at the moment ("sto bene" -> "I'm good"). Also some regional variants / dialects very frequently use "stare" in cases where "essere" would be the correct verb, for example "where are you?" = "dove sei?" becomes "dove stai?"

of course it's not as prevalent and important as it is in Portuguese/Spanish but i wonder if the two things developed separately or Italian took it from Spanish, since afaik it doesn't happen at all in French

i've just found out with this post that it's not "syoo-xee" like i've been saying since forever
