© ∙ Music Room / Re: Opinions on Robert Smith / The Cure?
« on: February 01, 2023, 08:59:00 pm »I love The Cure! I should probably listen to them more than I do currently, lol.
My fave songs by them would probably be "Lovesong", "Just Like Heaven", and "One Hundred Years", a smidge basic I'm aware XD

⛺︎ ∙ Cinema / Understanding Taxes Teen Drama
« on: January 27, 2023, 08:18:29 pm » Does anyone else know of this weird, late 80s-early 90s teen drama that was made to explain American taxes? Or like even know what it is called?
My Economics teacher showed part of it to my class, and he got it from a DVD copy of a VHS copy of an original VHS from the previous Economics teacher.
3/4 main characters were Travis McClaren, Kyle Sung, & Nina (forgot her last name). I think the other one was Allie? Unsure.
Also, apparently Nina ends up in a severe vehicular accident? wild.

With regards to Ironclaw careers, I have always found it amusing that a Questor (collector of church tithes), a Bawd (not quite the historical sort, but rather the oldest profession), an Oracle, & a Dervish could be a functional party

« on: January 26, 2023, 08:56:15 pm »I'm an anglophone, but I've been trying to work on learning French, Latin, & Arabic. I know some bits & pieces of French & Latin, enough to hold a conversation in French and figure out vaguely what something means in Latin (and to be a pedant about Latin derived suffixes).
I can read Cyrillic Script (though I don't know a single language that uses it; I wanted to learn Mongolian, but couldn't find helpful resources really. Same story with Pashto, which is why I'm learning Arabic instead).
I love the Arabic script, it's always been something I found gorgeous, so when presented with a chance to learn it (a bookstore having Arabic for Dummies, 3rd Edition), I lept upon it

☞ ∙ Life on the Web / Re: How did you come up with your username? Why did you choose it?
« on: January 26, 2023, 08:38:09 pm » My username on many sites has been applesauceAlcohol or something similar for a few years now. I originally made it such because of an incident wherein a large jar of applesauce in my fridge had been fermenting due to being simply left in there for so long. I had found it amusing at the time, and so I chose to dub myself as such. It simply stuck since then, lol.
My website is marxiemarcie, both a simple play on my name, Marcette (I know putting my name on the internet is not always smart, but I chose that name because I like to use it), and also a play on Karl Marx. Also, something something X-Treme aesthetic uses of the letter x. It's just cool!!!!!

« on: January 25, 2023, 08:49:36 pm »While that translation of Vaptsarov's "The Letter" is perhaps a smidge stilted, it still conveys beautiful & evocative imagery and depth of emotion.
Here's one of my favourites amongst the poems I've written ^w^—
"Inheritance"
When I look at old photographs—
My mother in her youth and
Her mother in hers—
I see that the similarities are undeniable,
Carved into the zygomatic arches and
Coiffed in the same rich, brown locks—
The colour of cockroaches and chocolates and
Coffees and onyxes—
And as I brush my hair,
The mirror looks at me.
She's the face of a million ancestresses—
Of a history written in my blood and in my bones,
Within the acids and phospholipids of my cells—
Coalesced into a single instant,
A fleeting continuation.
My face has appeared before, has it not?
The though frightens and enthralls me:
That something so core to one's own being—
To their own selfhood—
Is perhaps never truly their own?
People speak of doppelgängers,
Figures with the copied visage of another,
And I am left to wonder
If I am but the doppelgänger of my ancestors.
It's maybe a tad juvenile, but I still like what I managed to do with it

« on: January 25, 2023, 08:41:52 pm »Does anyone else here play Ironclaw, the TTRPG published by Sanguine Games? I've been hosting a (premade) adventure for some of my friends, who are playing a Spider Bawd (which, description-wise in the book, doesn't seem to be an actual bawd), a Scorpion Alchemist, a Raccoon Bandit, a Bat Craftsman, & a Raven Spellbinder. The use of careers instead of more "traditional" ttrpg classes (à la D&:grin:smile: is something I quite like about it.
