German lore for u guys

1. probably the Baltic Sea. I lived on a boat there for a while and I still visit every year. It’s just beautiful

2. at Home! Definitely

3. yes, only on the north coast but we a have two different seas there. the Baltic Sea and the north sea

4. I don’t love most german food but even I aren’t immune to a Schnitzel

5. Alles ist Neu by Peter Fox. Absolute banger. Legendary status (or Major Tom, close second)

6. Oof, many. Probably 99 Luftballons just because it’s way to popular and because I don’t like the singer 🤷‍♂️

7. Wahnsinn (Madness), Lurch (a kind of lizard), Sterne (Stars)

8. well, yeah. Germans mostly look like every other white people group on earth so 🤷‍♂️ with all of em I suppose

9. I would love to check out the Netherlands and Denmark more, even tho I visited before. I am probably most familiar with Switzerland, Austria, Poland and France

10. Hurensohn :) (very basic but very good, translates to son of a whore)

11. I Love Frank Schätzing. He writes mostly extremely realistic sci fi novels and is just amazing in his research (he wrote “The swarm”, it’s crazy good and scars, you will never see the ocean with the same eyes again)

12. haven’t seen many but most of them are fine I think. I have a personal beef with the translation of Major Tom tho. But that’s mostly because it feels like they tried to steal this song from us and pretend it was always English lol

13. My family isn’t big into traditions or superstitions but I guess our humor might seem strange to outsiders. German humor in general is probably not for everyone. It’s a pretty British with much sarcasm and stuff. I eat it up tho

14. No. Only good thing we ever produced was Dark and that’s it (ok that’s a bit exaggerated but I really don’t wanna talk about our television stuff. I vastly prefer German YouTube, they are mostly fantastic)

15. Bruder muss los (“Brother I have to go”, I honestly don’t know how to explain this meme or how it’s used. It’s really just if you get it you get it lmao)

16. I hate that most people seem to think all of Germany is essentially Bavaria (beer, dirndles, yodeling etc.). It is true tho, that we love our bread. I Love bread. Bread is amazing

17. While I don’t think any country in the world could have a boring history, I think Germany is a special case. It is practically impossible not to be at least a little interested in our history as a German. So yeah, I am. Not just interested in the Nazi part tho. Our history with the Roman’s is crazy

18. Maybe a tiny one? I was often told my English sounded more like someone from Britain or Australia so not that much I think.

19. I am indifferent to flag and song

20. Soccer. By far. No competition in sight. (If Germany ever fell into civil war it would be oder soccer teams)

21. Definitely some of our amazing bread. And maybe a piece of the Berlin Wall

22. I probably don’t need to tell you what every German is ashamed about (or at least the vast majority of germans, not the other kind…). I am proud however of everything that came after (not everything everything, I mean the uniting part) and I really really think german people for the most part have a very unique way of seeing our place in the world and how to handle national pride. It’s a VERY harsh contrast to the USA. If we ever were to be forced to pledge ourselves to the nation in school we would think the old times were back like wtf why are u guys doing that 😭

23. Beer

24. France (we don’t like the French, no European country likes the French lmao)

25. Actually no. I am pretty comfortable and even tho I have my fair share of problems (especially regarding politics and growing right radicalization) I am really happy living here

26. Well. Most of the time we are Nazis in Hollywood xD I don’t know if I should count that as I don’t like the portrayal or not. I mean, I don’t like nazis either so good for every movie who gets that right. I have the feeling tho, that we don’t exist much outside of that tho. It’s either - no germans in the movie or - germans in the movie and they are nazis (or the movie hast something to do with one of the world wars)

27. Otto. One of the most iconic comedians. Not all of his humor aged super well (he is pretty old at this point) but he was my childhood idol. (And if we count internet personality’s, probably “coldmirror” she made the most iconic Harry Potter parody synchros ever and is just in general the reason why my humor is the way it is now)

28. Yeah, we have a lot a lot. My fav lake is just the lake in my hometown. Could walk 5 minutes down to the little beach. Wonderful place

29. Oh yeah xD I live in Brandenburg - the state surrounding Berlin. And we hate each others guts. Berlin thinks Brandenburg is nothing but forest and old timy farmer culture while Brandenburg thinks Berlin is arrogant and wierd (Berlin is the New York City of Germany.) Oh and everyone hates Bavaria and Bavaria hates everyone else 👍

30. Nope. I would love to but I was born into a pretty standard German family. My grandmothers side of the family grew up in Poland but in a time where parts of it still belonged to Germany so they weren’t technically polish.

If you use arab.org like I do please consider taking the extra 30-60 seconds to click on ALL of their causes. Palestine is important but so are the environment, refugees, children, women, and the impoverished across the middle east and it doesn't take away from Palestine to click for multiple causes. The arab world faces a lot of problems and they only get worsened by how western nations have oppressed and attacked them. Clicking is small but it generates something and overtime it does benefit the greater good. It takes all of us clicking as often as possible but we can do it! It's really easy and safe and they have proofs on their site on how they do make an impact and are donating your click money

Stop saying Tomura's entire character is because of afo's meddling. He literally managed to become someone despite that much interference. Despite being treated as a puppet he found allies he could trust. Despite it he truly loved them and fought tooth and nail for them. Tomura would flatten a mountain for spinner, he promised toga he'd protect what was dear to her, he took revenge for Magne and motivated Twice. He trusted all of them. He's so much more than just a puppet.

Tomura promising to protect his leagues ideals, that was all him. Tomura leading the league to rescue Giran, that was all him. Tomura making sure his league was just as valued as him by the Meta liberation army, that was all him. The talks with Spinner about his hobbies and videos games, that was all him. Tomura forming a league that eventually learned to all care for each other, like a family, that was all him.

There is a heart in there that AFO cannot breach that is all Tomura. Not altered by AFO whatsoever.

„killing“ Tomura on his birthday is some evil shit. I applaude Horikoshi for committing but by god, if you don’t bring him back I will riot
