this!!! I was gagged when Another Story started with the TLHOD opening phrase...
best thing i've learned from UKLG currently is that you can reuse motifs across bodies of work, and people actually go crazy for that
I recommend József Attila fr! he is controversial but interesting, sometimes a bit too overused but summarizes an era well and has that edgelord vibe imo (and I think Ján Smrek did a lot of pretty good translations of his works)
AND PRESSBURG! I need to watch it finally - my sister kept talking about it and how there are some inaccuracies and just unrealistic cringe stuff, but it's good that it exists and talks about things like these
Nebudem ťa volať "bráško", Nebudem ťa volať "kamoš", Oboch už v živote mám, Tak mi s tým trochu pomôž Ako voláš niekoho, S kým zdieľaš ťarchu zrady, S kým padal si vo vojnách, S kým staval si tie hrady S kým vymenil sis' slová, No komu viac nerozumieš ? Bol si tu celý ten čas, Tak povedz mi: čo o nás vieš? Ezer év együtt, Hogy történhetett ez meg? Különböző szavak, De ugyanaz a természet Próbáljunk meg nem határokat Húzni egymás közé Ne nézzünk egymásra, Nézzünk együtt előre! Még mindig ugyanazt a folyót ünnepeljük, Még mindig te vagy az én igazi északom, Igyunk hát mindkettőnkre, Nőjön a boldogságunk, Lássuk egymást napról napra többet, És ne féljünk többé attól, Ami közös bennünk

I keep thinking about this post, so I figured I would make one about some iconic Hungarian retro songs, because they are truly amazing:
-lemon flavoured bananas don't exist but if they did they would fucking suck (much like someone i know of)
-i have never seen a black person in my life but i'm a huge fan of Little Richard and his work
-this song is not a paid promotion of yoyos. anyway here is a brief history of the product and some of its benefits. it's really fun, you should try it!!
-there are many respectable careers a woman can have: kindergarten teacher, courtesan, police officer, bricklayer, terrorist... but it doesn't matter what she does in her professional life because i love and support her anyway<33
-new guy in the neighbourhood is so talented at making out that he has become a local celebrity of sorts
-you don't even realize how great it is when you aren't here (pls leave you are really annyoning)
-romanticizing socialism: i <3 my petrol lamp
-racecar go vroom vroom
-tbh if Europe (the continent) was a milf i would fuck her

The Steven Universe fandom might be “cringe” and “bad” but imagine a fandom so bad that a bunch of fandom members had ran a scheme to say “if you pay us money, your blorbo will know you’re valid” and the fandom permanently split over a 95 paragraph callout post of these people.
also! I just needed to look this up as a Hungarian, because yes, while the word sántál makes sense to me, it just sounds old school, we use sántít more nowadays
and ofc I needed to look it up in a Hungarian dictionary and let me nerd out about this one for a bit (bear with my English and the possibly wonky translation of this text)
so the word I looked up was sánta (lame), the noun from sántál/sántít
so basically,, Hungarian got the word from an old Slavic word group, possibly before the 11th century, when the Slavic nasal a still existed (btw if anyone knows about this nasal a, feel free to yap about it, I'm interested)
originally it used to mean something like to walk slowly, haltingly and then in Hungarian the meaning changed to to limp
and then some Slavic languages borrowed it back from Hungarian, apparently Serbo-Croatian and Slovene also have it as šantati
oh wow, I just had a szófosás here (basically a word for yapping in Hungarian, it literally means word-diarrhea)
