Preußler and the non-ironic children's book
Tumblr media
Another topic that is totally disconnected from my usuall stuff, even about a topic I don't really care about - childrens books.
So for a bit of a backstory, in primary school I actually read a lot, but mostly just things for kids like Winnie the Pooh, Astrid Lindgren books, some native collections of fairy tales or soviet childrens storys (actually some of those may be a topic for another post lol...)
But one author I read quite a lot was Preußler, a german-czech guy (even though I read them translated into my native language mostly).
Anyways to get to the point - I dont know if its my bad memory or my ignorance, but thinking back I had, maybe a totally baseless, realization, that Preußlers books were unique in a certain way compared to a lot of other stuff, or atleast the "modern" childrens book, like Matilda or even a lot more contemparary stuff:
Those are either ironic, a way of the author in a way getting a simmilar joy that an older kid gets from teaching a toddler swear words, a quite sick thing one probably shouldnt do - like the author of Matilda who was supposedly very cynical and mysanthropic, writting on the edge what was acceptable for kids, but I think he is the most extreme example - others atleast still write with the vibe of "Oh ofcourse I actually know this is childish, and I put in this whole satire and clever jokes and allusions to not so child friendly things!!!"
Ofcourse there is also the maybe even more cynical option of "Oh Im writting for babys, lets just make the most generic baby shit possible, who cares, lets call all the chararchters gaga maga, bubu ubu etc"
But Preußler, if Im not being blinded by nostalgia, didnt fall for that - his books seemed to have had this genuine charm and aura of childhood inocence, that wasnt drenched neither in irony or sacherine colours and key jingling.
But alas, maybe I am truly misremembering - can one truly say what one read being a dumb child, nearly two decades ago?
Idk man, mayne this post is pointless, maybe it isnt.
And also it isnt totally unrelated to soul eater - well in a way - there is on tumblr a drawing of "the little ghost* replaced with Crona, prompted by an old anonymous ask lol.

Thank you for the tag, @evelhak 💕
5 Songs
I don't really listen to music these days so naming specific songs is too hard atm (might return to this later)
Three ships you like: narusasu, shiita, kagakuro
First ship ever: Harry Potter/OC (to be fair I was 13-14 years old lmao), the next one after that was Inuyasha/Kagome
Last song you heard: I can't even remember lmao
Favorite childhood book: I have a lot of books from my childhood but I really gotta answer with Krabat, written by Otfried Preussler. I read this book when I was around 12, and it left an ever-lasting impression on me. It tells the story of a boy who becomes an apprentice in a mill, but the master of the mill has a dark secret. I haven't read this book in ages bc I haven't gotten my hands on an English version yet, but I really want to! Awesome book, loved it a lot!
Currently reading: A Demon's Guide to Wooing a Witch by Sarah Hawley (I really need to buy this book, I burst out laughing during the first chapter lmao)
Currently watching: video game streams and playthroughs
Currently craving: sushi and cuddles :(
I really want to tag @freakontour, but if you see this, feel free to do it <3

Three ships: the first three in alphabetical order on my ao3 favorites page are Amane Misa/Rem, Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren, and Aurora/Maleficent (Disney). It's a pretty long list, though.
Last song: Cynthia Battle Theme Remix by GlitchxCity
Last movie: I actually just watched ... if I remember correctly the title, "Not Another Nightlife Movie" by jaydee something something. On youtube. It's supposed to be one of the greatest Sims Machinima movies made in that era, and it is pretty impressive.
Currently reading: Just finished a reread of Krabat by Otfried Preussler
Currently watching: I started "Inventing Anna" due to interest in the premise but I'm about halfway through the pilot episode and still uncommitted. Also watching some "Company Man" videos (youtuber).
Currently consuming: bagel with cream cheese (dinner)
Currently craving: More Ooblets (video game)

17, 18, 19? :)
17. top 5 children’s books?
ah. hmmm. 1) i have forgotten every children's book i've ever read all of a sudden 2) as a kid i read a lot of estonian lit, which is unhelpful. i think i mentioned my fondness for krabat by otfried preussler before, and i think that's my number 1 fave though. it's really stuck with me through the ages
18. do you like historical books? which time period?
sure do! i prefer contemporary-to-that-time-period over historical fiction, usually, but exceptions can be made. anyway 1910s and 1920s is where the party's at, for me, but late 19th century can be pretty fun too.
19. most disliked popular books?
here's a random assortment:
a little life by hanya yanagihara - this is a study in misery, which i don't take issue with as such, but it reaches a point where it just becomes sort of... unintentionally comedic. moreover, i think it's not helped by the fact that the protagonist is beautiful and perfect in literally every way and everyone that isn't cartoonishly evil loves him. oh, and most offensive detail of them all, it's full of pro-contract law propaganda. get the fuck out of here with that!
the charm offensive by alison cochrun - i feel bad for dunking on it, because i really should not have been reading it, as known hater of romance, but 1) i try to keep an open mind 2) i fucking LOVE the bachelor. i had such high hopes for it to be juicy and full of drama and all i got was monologued on why the bachelor is Bad. the main leads had 0 chemistry, the author seemed to be angling for the fake dating trope, but honestly i forgot that it was even there. overall, a really shallow and boring book
the seven husbands of evelyn hugo by taylor jenkins reid - another one i feel bad for not liking. and i think i could have liked it, if i had gone into it with any other expectations. i repeatedly saw it presented as this epic, tragic queer romance of the ages, but it's pretty much just melodrama and celebrity gossip. which i love, but the dissonance was too jarring for me. and again, i just didn't feel the chemistry at all between the two women? the book basically just told us that they were in love over and over again, without really showing why

Mijn top 3 boeken.
3. Pjotr van Jan Terlouw, lemniscaat 1970
Het is een spannende en leuke verhaal waarbij een jongen door heel russland doorgaat om zijn vader te zien.
Tumblr media
2. Meester van de zwarte molen van Otfried Preussler, lemniscaat 1973
Het is een geinig en indrukwekkend boek waarbij een jongen in een molen gaat werken waar ze ook zwarte magie doen.
Tumblr media
1. Naar het middelpunt der aarde van Jules Vernes , wonderreizen 1864
Deze boek is heel goed gescheven en heeft een mooie verhaal.
Het gaat over een groep mesen die naar het middelpunt van het aarde gaan en vinden daar allemaal uitgestorven dieren.
