ASK GAME — yes, i am terribly bored... you can also specify if you want me to reply to your question in Spanish, in which case i will gladly do so.

01. I’ll show you a (translated) poem that I like and talk a bit about it. 02. I'll tell you something about the projects I'm working on. 03. I’ll tell you a bit about any homoerotic relationship that was had between any of my favorite Spanish poets or artists. 04. I'll tell you about a Spanish poet's work, life, or any interesting details. 05. I’ll tell you a fun fact about myself. 06. I’ll tell you about how I am and how my day has been. 07. Ask whatever you want!

i saw people doing the tree decorating thing & it looks cute! decorate my tree if you wish. :)

grghrgrh this question is so hard. i'd say both. most of my hobbies are most comfortably done indoors, but i also enjoy nature profoundly and will go mad if i do not get a chance to regularly go for walks. for a nice balance, i enjoy writing or reading in cafés and stepping out every once in a while to catch some sun!

i should translate... but i don't know what authors to pick...

already sent you an ask! <3

03. Lorca & Dalí fact for today! Okay, this is technically cheating since I have posted this before, but NOBODY saw the post and I feel like it's super important and funny.

It is possibly the most questionable thing i have ever extracted from all the research I've done throughout my fixation on Dalí and Lorca's relationship, and it's one single sentence that Dalí declared in one of his interviews:

“[...] well, Federico, as everyone knows, was very in love with me, and he tried to fuck me twice, but since i'm not a faggot and it hurt terribly, i quickly cancelled it, and it was all left like a purely platonic thing, and in admiration.”

I have so many questions. what do you mean Lorca tried to fuck you twice? moreover, what do you mean by "it hurt terribly"? And that you "cancelled it"? Are you implying that Lorca wanted to have sex with you, so you two arranged a meet-up to fuck (even when you still insist that you're heterosexual) and you got to the point of penetration (because in Spanish, the verb was "hacía mucho daño" — it's in the past, he's not stating that anal sex hurts in general) but it hurt too much, so you stopped? And that happened twice? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY, DALÍ? anyways i'll head to the other questions before i go mad.

05. Fun fact about myself! Mmm… half of my family is from the north of Spain, and the other half is from the south. I find that quite funny because there are a ton of sociocultural differences between the two. I was born and raised in the north, and everytime I'd visit my southern family, i’d just get terrible culture shocks, even though it's the same country!

06. My day has been wonderful! A family member swung by to visit, so he and my parents showed him around a nearby city that has some pretty good Christmas decor/lights. We went to a concert afterwards. I love the artists we went to see; they're a violin quartet (sort of — two play the violin, another plays the viola, and another plays the cello) and they played Christmas carols this time around. I went to two other concerts from them, and they're always wonderful… I'm in love with the violin as an instrument. I'm a pianist, but I've been considering getting into violin with my dad's old one. Perhaps next year! I felt good today. We're all home, ordered some takeout, and we're probably going to chill. I might translate some poetry soon. :)

Caesura, dear! don't you sweat it! the fact that you even thought about getting me something at all for Christmas is already incredibly sweet... particularly considering the fact that i have been here for like. less than a month! pulling you into a hug. take care this Christmas, and don't you dare be upset over things like those! /aff /p

i don't think i could ever part with /lorca ever in my whole life. i'm going to cry and throw up when it reaches the character limit. it's already at ~170,000 i'll crash the HELL out... i'll just make a new archive when that happens. but /lorca will always be my dearest pride and love.

that's a pity! they own a lotta stuff, wow... it's hard to trade with them too, nothing in my hoard interested them TT crazy!

this is such an eerie message but so sweet at the same time? oml anon hi... what are you trying to get me... actually don't tell me i like surprises. Although you don't have to get me a Christmas gift, of course, i'm very intrigued now... ily anon. if you do get me something i'll translate all the poems you want for you. also if you don't get me anything i'll do it too really. thank you for the message in general!!!

i'm actually stressed because i know for a fact /lorca will teach that 100.000 character limit someday... what will i do then... /lorca part two???

edit: 200.000!!! the limit is 200.000 i'm dumb...

ok i updated the 7 poems to the rentry! time to translate five more

back on Tumblr, it was a bigger platform so i could send anonymous asks and nobody would immediately suspect it was me who sent it. but now in NS all of my oomfs know im a poetry nerd, so i can't tell someone that they remind me of some verses because i'm too embarrassed and because i know they'll find out. can you guys pretend i don't exist everytime i send y'all anon asks please

i wonder how my wonderful /lorca, which already probably has an unimaginable character count, will feel after i paste 7 poems onto it at once.

named my document where i was transcribing some text "trans" yesterday while half asleep. what an amazing phenomenon.
