During a time where it feels as if the world is punished by the gods, what would be more fitting than a hymn to Nemesis, the Greek goddess of retribution. This authentic hymn was composed by Mesomedes, a Greek composer at the time of Roman emperor Hadrian. The two following pieces are...

Today I have chosen klezmer music, the traditional music of the Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe. The word klezmer which has come to denote this music means but musician in Yiddish, the language of the Ashkenazi Jews originated from German but enriched with Hebrew influence. The piece chosen...

It isn't as if I wouldn't listen to Japanese music. I particularly like traditional Japanese music, e.g. minyo or gagaku. I further like Western Classical music written by Japanese composers, particularly those pieces where symphony orchestras play traditonal Japanese(-inspired) music and/or are...

I have long since thought about if I should contribute to this thread being in favor because I really love music but being doubtful because the music I listen to is anything but mainstream. If my further contribution should be undesireable, please tell me. WARNING: Classical music ahead! Era...

Reminds me of last year. God, was I confused! Now I just sit back and wait for the things to come (or rather go). Interestingly, this is the only webside on the internet where my adblock allows advertisements to be shown. Funny, isn't it?

@justforthelulz: That is the correct answer. Congratulations!

@Ivegotnolife: That is a possible answer but sadly not the correct one. But an interesting guess it is. Also, I always thought it was a typical unicorn head since my resolution of avatars in the forums is not the best.

I also agree that it has to be @Plykiya. (now it is corrected) Here yet another user avatar: This user avatar's headgear stays true to their username. It is neither a hat nor cap nor helmet, though, and also no bonnet and no veil. Rather it is something quite misplaced. Who is it?

@DeliciousElfEars: The only book which comes to my mind is a German children's book: "Der kleine Vampir" by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg. It is known as "My Friend the Vampire" or "The Little Vampire" in English. It is the first title of a whole series, in fact, though I only have read the first...

@EOTFOFYL: As I said before I didn't know it was beer so please let me off. ******* What's crazy these days is people taking part in Corona parties. But that's nothing new. The same thing was also done in earlier times. 14th Century Europe saw such parties when plague outbreak occured...

@Jordan_Weeberson: @EOTFOFYL: So it was a joke. Since I am a nondrinker I didn't know this. Well, better it is, using black humor and not being ill for real. Humor, after all, is the best medicine known against all sorrows.

The second day of anti-Corona shutdown here in Germany: Some people are too hysteric, all panicking. That doesn't quite help. Panic buying of toilet paper will never prevent infections. Others make merry going out with family since the schools are closed. (Just as true for all places which...

Well, since I was tagged, why not? The margrave truly shook with fear. The famous conqueror drew near From Central Asia, said here: "Of this march here we'll soon get hold!" Just as the battle did unfold The leaders were suddenly told: "Just end this poor history skit! I will end this battle...

When did the Blemmyes lose their head? by Albwin The Blemmyes have all lost their head Literally true to the word. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard. If not so, don’t be driven mad. What is now known about this fact As far as history informs Not lost in ancient wars and storms Is that the head...

Wild Huntsman’s Tale by Albwin If you at night enter the woods Be careful what you do When trav’ling or transporting goods, For you might meet him too. Is he a sinner’s petty soul, In other words: a ghost? Is he instead the devil foul, Best known as hell’s vile host? Is he a god, a fallen...

I believe happiness is whatever you need to feel good or at least balanced in whichever moment. Whatever it is might change depending on your mood. It might even be being depressed when you have an acute need for that melancholy feeling of depression to feel good by feeling bad. Well, I also...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN: I think when logging in there was a box "remember me up to one year" which you can choose, drastically decreasing the chance of this happening.

Why do all who are reincarnated into isekai come from East Asia alone, never from another place? I wonder why, though. To have the hero come from the country where it is sold first, that's that. Understandable for sure, and no questions asked. That's how it should be. Nonetheless, I say...

@DANDAN_THE_DANDAN: Although I did plan for the wood elves to be ruled by a female elder, the typical features of the langages are thoroughly based on Ancient Egyptian for which this is typical. You could rather say those Sylphian langages are corrupted Egyptian more than anything else. The...

I just discovered this interesting thread. @DANDAN_THE_DANDAN: I hope you have nothing against me joining this discussion so late in time. I agree, trying to develop a language of your own is most fascinating but utterly senseless if you don't continue the project. Immersing yourself in the...
