Me at the local Easter medieval market:
*sees a bunch of Norse Heathen stuff* Ok makes sense.
*sees native American stuff* Ok the fuck now we're in Germany and I know for a fact that you dreadlocks wearing white fucks aren't native American.
Husband: "Anything catches your eye?"
Me: "Do you mean the food or the rampant cultural appropriation?"
Husband: "Food, my love. You said you're hungry, didn't you?"
Me: "Yeah fish and chips sound great."

"gordon freeman was 27 he should have been at the club" before getting his Black Mesa job dr. freeman spent a chunk of his twenties in europe in the late 1990s. the reason half life 1's soundtrack is all industrial techno is because that's what's playing in his head 24/7

Cherry blossoms in Frankfurt 🌸
With the current rain, I think the season is now over.

I’m on the newsletter for a lovely German fabric company, and all of their emails are like “Our new spring color palette plus A SURPRISE”.
And it always takes me a couple minutes of reading their emails to figure out what the surprise is, because it’s typically:
- a new shipment of fabric has arrived
- they have another color now in their seasonal palette
- their opening hours are slightly different
And just…. None of this is surprising. You are a fabric company, I expect all of this as standard operating procedure.
But I have to imagine whoever sending these emails is like
*heavy German accent* “but is there a chance they will be SURPRISED? If so, we must clarify that there will be a SURPRISE in the email, so they are prepared. I for one am very SURPRISED we added Corduroy to our summer selection, oder?”

Bruh, why is German bureaucracy just so 💀
My dad just forwarded me a letter from the agency responsible for child benefit payments in which they ask for proof that I really was studying abroad in 2018 and wasn't just taking a break from uni (because in that case I wouldn't qualify for support during that period). Like, my guy, that was four years ago and you're noticing this now??
Also, he asked them to postpone the deadline for the submission of the stuff they asked for until the end of September instead of the 15th because I'm currently still living in Japan and a) am busy and b) most of my important documents are in cardboard boxes in a storage room in Germany, which tends to make things a little difficult. And of course they were like "hmmm, can't do that I'm afraid :/"
Really? It took you almost exactly 4 YEARS to realize you need these documents from me and now you hit me with a deadline of two weeks to sort this out??? Hah...
