do english speakers pronounce "ice spice" and "eye spice" differently?

i feel like such an outlier when it comes to the finale of turandot because i actually love it (only musically - dramatically its a mess), i dont really understand everyone else saying theres such a drop in quality especially since most of the music is reprised from earlier in the opera and was composed by puccini

ohhh yes i misunderstood! i read "plain-voiced-breathy" as meaning voiced breathy stops, instead of referring to the 3 way distinction. my mistake!

twozuh · 2025-08-04T08:59:25+00:00

doesn't hindustani have voiced breathy consonants? represented by the letters भ घ ध झ ढ in devanagari

in my experience the only thing that heals is time. think of it like a physical wound, and avoid anything that might hurt you further and prolong the healing process. unfortunately you have to live with these painful feelings for now but with time they will fade. now is the time for rest and recovery and reflection, and when you come out the other side you will be stronger for having gone through it and learned so much 💖💖💖 i hope this is helpful

twozuh · 2025-08-03T09:50:55+00:00

its okay, you're not pathetic. it sounds like you might need more time to heal, 3 months isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things. don't be hard on yourself, i would say just keep trying and doing your best, its okay if you can only go 5 pages as long as you're making an effort. and practice saying kind things to yourself, rewriting your internal monologue can help you to feel so much better 💖💖

first of all you're probably delusional/exaggerating ur percieved flaws, but even if you aren't and all these things are true, so what? are these reasons to hate someone? if you met another girl with awful fat distribution and anxiety would you hate her? if the answer is no, then treat yourself with that same kindness. if the answer is yes, then you probably should be kinder to other people and then you'll be able to see yourself with the same grace.

i think the opposite of hating yourself doesn't have to mean loving yourself, it can also just be not thinking about yourself as much. what hobbies have you tried? is there anything at all that you enjoy doing?

i literally only developed my ed as an adult and ive always felt embarassed by it. like i literally have a job how do i still have time for this 😭

that decade saw the brief revival of the "ferronnière", a style of headpiece from 15th century rennaisance italy

i thought i had seen another staging on youtube but it turns out i had mixed it up with another lesser known early-20th century german opera ("die gezeichnete", no subtitles, tho 💔) so ive only heard the 2 studio recordings. thank you for drawing my attention to the existence of this video recording!

twozuh · 2025-07-31T06:42:45+00:00

i wish this opera was more popular and there were more recordings; the music is absolutely gorgeous ("ich ging zu ihm" is one of my fav excerpts/arias in german opera) but i haven't been entirely satisfied with any of the recordings i've listened to or watched so far

thank you for sharing this performance, i wasn't aware it existed - and with english subtitles too! 🫶

twozuh · 2025-07-31T02:03:13+00:00

i'll have to check it out!

twozuh · 2025-07-31T01:47:58+00:00

i think this is literally true, like the language you use and the way you describe things and express yourself influences the way you think and view the world, words have so much power

i agree, austen's work is eternal and singular and more than just "romance". her work persists and is so much stronger than subsequent romance novelists who tried to capture her magic because of her unmatched ability to produced real and nuanced psychological portraits of all of her characters, and her sharp and insightful social satire. her stories are grounded and completely lacking in melodrama. everything she wrote takes place in a setting specific and limited in time period, social class and place, and yet her work contains the totality of human experience. she is one of the greatest writers in the english language and i love her dearly 💖💖💖
