has anyone come across any shareable graphics that show the type of produce (fruits/veggies) that israel exports?

#israeli fruit and vegetables are an official BDS target btw #the biggest palestinian org in norway (palestinakomiteen) have their own 'boycott israel' page #with graphics showing the type of fruit and vegetables from israel you'll find in norwegian grocery stores #would be nice to have something similar in english that gives a rough overview of the type of produce to be on the lookout for #even if your in the habit yourself of checking everything at the grocery store it's still handy to share with friends and family

noticing as I learn different languages I tend to think using the shortest word from any of those languages, so for example instead of "this is" or "dette er", I'll just automatically think "c'est"

So my proposal is a creole of every language in which we find the shortest syllabic way to say every single word and speak at maximum efficiency

My favourite thing about (most) Germanic languages:

Norwegian: due (pigeon), drue (grape)

Danish: due (pigeon), drue (grape)

Swedish: duva (pigeon), druva (grape)

Dutch: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

Afrikaans: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

Frisian: duif (pigeon), druif (grape)

German: Taube (pigeon), Traube (grape)

A few notable outliers: English, Scots, Icelandic

Dear means 'valued; precious; beloved'. However, in certain expressions it also means 'expensive', such as in to cost dear. This meaning, inherited from Proto-Germanic, became dominant in cognates of dear, such as Dutch duur, German teuer, and Swedish dyr. The infographic tells you the whole story.

“Killer.”

The call of his name had been so soft and sweet he hadn’t believed it possible to come from Nightmare himself, least of all on such a bright day as the firstborn fairy of autumn rarely wished to come out during daybreak, and yet as he turned towards the great tree which gave Nightmare’s underground nest its structure, he came to see the firstborn sitting upon a raised root.

Stars and wishes alike, he couldn’t prevent his face from slackening as awe and disbelief painted itself across his whole skull. Nightmare had always been beautiful, from the moment he laid his hidden eye lights upon him, and long before that as well, but now, as he stared in shameless wonder, he couldn’t even begin to set words upon the emotions that racked and destroyed his soul from within. Clad in near-transparent silks of shimmering iridescent colours, Killer took in the sight before him, wishing he could permanently burn it into his wings so he may look upon it over and over again.

Nightmare smiled, a soft blush of colour blooming across his cheekbones.

Killer had a visible reaction to it; his soul nearly curved across his chest.

“Months of courting and unabashed flirting, and a simple dress and a smile leaves you at a loss for words?” Nightmare questioned, clearly taking a lot of pleasure from the current situation at hand. It wasn’t often he managed to render his ever-chattering fairy silent, but now, as Killer stared with open admiration, Nightmare found himself enjoying it; immensely.

Killer couldn’t let that taunt linger in the air.

“Simple? Why, my queen; the silver moon in my darkened sky, there is nothing that could ever be simple about you,” he said, regaining his composure as he approached and knelt before Nightmare. He took the hanging silks into his hand, keeping eye contact with his queen, and kissed it tenderly. “Don’t judge me so heavily for admiring the only light in my everlasting night.”

Nightmare’s blush darkened and he turned his head to the side. “Flatterer,” he said, though his voice lacked any bite. Killer had struck a tender spot, one that was easily softened under his warm caress.

“Only for you, my queen.”

Thank you once again, @aoi-kanna, for making my fairy Nightmare stunning beyond words. I just love how he seems so flirty in this illustration, but really, he must steal Killer’s words from his mouth every now and then. He cannot allow his handsome red fairy to fly around unpunished for all his brazen proclamations of love and devotion. Killer, for his part, will for once keep his mouth shut about this so-called punishment. How could he ever complain about this?

This bottle of Steven’s, awakens ancient feelings.

#Ive been listening to Weezer and mostly just wanted to draw a scene like this #Toshiro’s phone says “ お父さん” as in “father”#drunk calling dad on impulse to have words #hes working some kind of soulless job in a nowhere city splitting rent with Laios who’s a norwegian on working holiday(dishwasher) in Japan #they met just bc he got trapped with Laios on the connecting flight from Tokyo who chatted him up the whole time bc he could speak english #and eventually he somehow ended u sharing a lease with thisn guy to help hide from his retainers who are supposed to be living with him #Laios is mostly drifting but genuinely is in Japan bc he wants to learn Japanese and hes admired it in that detached idolising european way #since he was a teen and even though its a small nowhere city everythings very fun and novel to him as someone from the boonies of norway #They have their initial dynamic but also Laios cooks for him and buys him western alcohol #sometimes your true love is the guy who shows up at work in a Godzilla shirt #i usually really have no interest in modern au of works that have such integral worldbuidling like dunmeshi that informs characters #this is how you know im cracked in the head over these two LMFAOOO #laishuro

well what family doesn't keep a secret vampire family member hidden deep in in the basement /s

EDIT: Rest of the comic is now under the cut!

----------

BONUS:

#first fullpage comic in my new sketchbook woooo 🎉#poor rune. accidentally hibernated for 20 years and he didn't even do it on purpose.#you can tell by the fact that he went to nap in his freakin pajamas #as you do when you go to sleep #but then this time he just. didn't wake up. and his family assumed it was on purpose. so they just let him???#oops?????#yes munch is a surname that's been used in norway - especially in towns that had historically had contact with german merchants. fun fact #so while his dad was originally literally a windenburg townie from the sims 4... it still works #oh yeah the way i am handling language in this comic. do keep in mind it is set in norway and the canon language is actually norwegian #so while any dialog usually gets masked with english so you may actually understand wtf people are saying #text on objects do not get translated. because they're a part of the world and stuff. it's the way people see them. that makes sense right #(don't even get me started on my complex relationship with written norwegian. long story short: it is a pain)#EDIT: now with the full comic under the readmore

I want you always to remember me.

Will you remember that I existed, and that I stood next to you here like this?

Do you think you weren't loved enough?"

"Somewhere between 'not enough' and 'not at all. I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it - to be fed so much love I couldn't take any more. Just once. But they never gave that to me. Never, not once.

— Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

ive been super obsessed with those Derse/Prospit royalty fics lately but i can't stop thinking about Jake's Prospit funeral, especially when comparing it to Jade's thriving dream-self. Anyways, a comic about those two subjects featuring Halley because I think he should be in more things

#homestuck #dirk strider #jake english #roxy lalonde #dirkjake #mirror tool my best friend...#Halley is supposed to be a Norwegian Elkhound but he's all white so it doesn't really come through #ORT

headcanon that norway uses "du" a lot when he needs to ask for something or wants attention, one of the most unrealistic things that I see in fanfiction is norway using names instead of "du"😤 at least he should put "du" in front of the name: "du Sverige, I need to ask you something"

I just feel like saying "du" is very typical norwegian, and it is used very often in everyday speech

for non-norwegian speakers "du" literally means "you"

You are so correct for this 😭 I rarely use people's names, it's just "du" all the time. And the "da" as well?? Or is that a more Trøndish thing? I end almost all of my sentences with "da", and it translates so poorly into English, just "then" 😞

Petition to make Norway use "du" and "da" in fanfics 🙏✨ only Norwegian words he needs

#hetalia #aph norway #hws norway #I am very much a language nerd and these things fascinates me immensely #small things like these are so fun #and Norwegian directly translated into English makes so little sense sometimes
