Il #solstizio d'#estate nel #mondo? W ai festeggiamenti!!!!

La celebrazione del giorno più lungo dell’anno nel solstizio d’estate esiste sin dalla preistoria, con varie tradizioni che durano fino ad oggi.

Frozen memories #002

My Frozen story - Part 2

"But, isn't that just a kids movie about some reindeer?"

My dear mother had no idea what her 22-year-old son was getting into on November 20th 2014 😅 Following my introduction to Frozen via ABC's Once upon a time-series, I was eager to find out what all the fuzz about the original movie was about.

I still lived at home at the time (in the countryside) and I had asked my parents to see if the movie was available at the local library. I can’t remember if I watched it the same day I got it or not. Probably a few days later (on my old Philips not-even-full-HD monitor 😅).

Prior to watching it, I had learned a few things about the plot and it sounded unlike any other movie I had previously seen. In addition to that, I had watched the Let it go-scene which was very captivating and I was very much in love with the song and the animation!

My original Swedish copy of Frozen

Seeing the movie for the first time was a bit of an otherworldly experience. I’m not sure how to describe it. I think everything about the characters, the story and the setting just clicked for me. Even though I don’t even have a sibling, I was awestruck and very touched by the tragic story of Anna and Elsa. And the theme of isolation and feeling of being an outcast was something I could relate to, always having been the introverted quiet one with very niche interests. I think I saw a lot more of me in Elsa than I even realised at the time. I think I watched the movie three times in just a couple of days.

From the first day of experiencing it “properly”, I was very much in love with Anna and Elsa and their world of Arendelle, which seemed so familia to me, being from Norway's neighbour Sweden and having experienced the wilderness of this real-life Disney-like nation just around the corner. I still vividly remembered going there on vacation some 8 years earlier. So, it wasn’t just the characters and the story that made it feel like it was “my movie”. The landscape, the art, the culture and the folklore (trolls) also felt so close to home!

Sisterly love

I had not expected to get pulled into a fandom the way I was because I usually never do and this is still true till this day - I haven't found anything else that I enjoy as much as Frozen. But this movie was just… I couldn’t get it out of my head! All the songs were so incredibly catchy! I think I spent most of winter 2014/15 just replaying them constantly in my head (and on my phone). I also couldn’t get rid of the feeling of how incredible it would be to get to see Anna and Elsa in real life. I guess this was really the first time I got to experience something like this 😊

And so, my journey into the Frozenverse had begun. I was thrilled when I learned there was a new Frozen short film coming out in 2015 (along with some Cinderella remake that I wasn’t really interested in) and I even brought my mother with me to see it in theatres. She had no clue at this time what Frozen was! She probably liked Cinderella better but I was a blessed Frozen fan! Funny enough, it was my mother who told me Disney had just announced they were gonna make a Frozen II…

I’ll cover my continued journey through the Frozen fandom in part 3.

See ya soon!

phantom blood swedish au where dio torments jonathan by throwing surströmming in his hair during midsommar. also he makes jonathan trip and fall on his face during the dance around the midsommarstång to embarrass him in front of erina

george joestar has a snus addiction

they play football or SOCCER or whatever you call it. or maybe bandy. the kind on ice not the indoors kind

they still study archaeology and law but since its in sweden the archaeology is funnier To Me since i know exactly what kind of idiot people wouldve taught jonathan (sidenote if i hear another word about arthur hazelius, oscar montelius or ole worm again im going to explode)

jonathans nickname is jonte

speedwagon is called fartvagn and he speaks in a posh unbearable stockholm accent because its funny NO wait maybe he speaks skånska because thats way funnier

uuuhhhhhhhh anyways

#pretend you didnt read this this is NOT serious it just makes me laugh #i love calling jonathan jonte because its just so silly #you dont get to reblog this sorry this is literally just me being sillaaayy

I was bored and made this silly image of the Revenge dancing around the Midsommarstång, based on the fic I'm currently working on :

The Revenge raids a Swedish merchant vessel, one thing leads to another and soon the crew is celebrating midsummer at a Swedish estate ✌️🏳️‍🌈🇸🇪

My Darkest Fics

As it is October, I made a list of my darkest Phantom of the Opera fic. I like to lean into the gothic horror of Leroux’s novel and I tag most of my fic as “dark” and “gothic” on AO3. These are the ones that are most meant to unsettle you:

Scary Fic

1. The Masque of the Blue Death

A plague has descended on Paris and the Comte de Chagny invites one hundred of his closest friends, artists, and servants to escape to his ancestral home. Inspired by Poe’s Masque of the Red Death. E/C

2. Midsommarstång

Christine escapes to her hometown in Sweden where she finally finds the comfort of family. Erik is close behind her, fatefully arriving just in time for Midsommar. Inspired by Midsommar. E/C

3. Midnight Mass

On their first Christmas together, the reclusive couple cannot come to an agreement on how to spend the darkest night of the year. Inspired by a classic ghost story. E/C

Creepy Fic

4. The Imperfection

Christine demands perfection. Inspired by the short story “The Birth-Mark” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. E/C

5. The Enchanted Violin: Korrigan Insert

Christine and Raoul take mushrooms before listening to the Angel of Music play the Resurrection of Lazarus in Perros-Guirec. Raoul has a really bad night. Part of the  Légendes rustiques Project.

6. Annard Noz

Little Christine and Raoul roam around Perros-Guirec collecting stories until a vexed old woman frightens them with the legend of the Laveuses de nuit.  Originally published on Tumblr for PotO 13 Nights of Halloween 2021. Written for the Légendes rustiques Project.

7. Empress of Artifice

Raoul wonders, is there anything about Christine that is real? Originally published on Tumblr for PotO 13 Nights of Halloween 2022. Written for the Légendes rustiques Project.

8. Je ne suis pas beau

Give the suspect a guitar and let's hear his story. An end of summer fic inspired by the song La Fanette by Jacques Brel. E/C

What are your scariest fics for cozy October evenings?

Ja det var en kväll i juni..sommaren är som bäst..

Ja det var en kväll i juni..sommaren är som bäst..

Ja, jag kunde inte låta bli att trycka ner en ”midsommarstång” i buketten. Du ser hur vacker den är. En vecka kvar till midsommar men naturen är generös redan nu. Det är nu naturen är som vackrast. Maj och juni. Man är fortfarande helt fascinerad över att allt är grönt och fint. Vi hade liksom levt i mörker ett halvår. Kyla och pannlampa du vet.Inget vi längtar efter. Vi har faktiskt bokat några…
