It’s April 1st! Happy April Fools’ Day!
When I was in kindergarten and elementary school the cutest and most innocent prank of the day would be drawing a fish and sticking it on someone’s back. My dad loved them and I remember he had a collection of said fishes attached on the record player’s cabinet.
In Italy we call “pesce d’aprile” (April’s fish) every prank we pull on this day.
Have you got the same tradition where you’re from?

The whole immortal family is here! And they have both panettone and pandoro!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!
This was very rushed and turned out bad, but the last two weeks had been crazy and on top of that I’m now self-isolating alone at home… which sucks, especially now that I should finally be on holiday :’)
I wanted to do a whole “5 days till Christmas” thing, but didn’t find the time… I just had to post this silly thing born from a tweet from dear @pochiperpe90

Nile is learning fast and learning well and we’re all so proud of her!
(once again the idea comes from a meme found by my sister @gaiayukari85 which I can’t find at the moment, sorry!)

When ‘Virgo’ and ‘virgin’ are the same word and your husband is a cheeky bastard.
Translation - Nile: “my zodiac sign is Leo, what is yours?”
Nicky: “I’m Virgo”
Joe: “not for centuries now! I take credit for that!”
I saw some posts discussing about the Guard’s zodiac signs and couldn’t help but think Nicky is 100% a Virgo (also, #notavirginanymore).

A variation on the same grest/oratorio estivo (Italian Catholic summer camp) theme, but this time with priest!Nicky on pool day (basically the one day a week all the kids get taken for a trip to the pool):
Other parts of this ‘series’:
Basically my sister @gaiayukari85 said “what if Modern AU!Nicky was a summer camp counselor (but the Italian, Catholic version)?” and here we are.
Animatore!Nicky singing and dancing the ‘Alleluia delle Lampadine’ one of the most famous church songs (I still remember to this day).
In Italy, in the summer, most of us Catholic raised kids went to ‘grest’ or ‘oratorio estivo’ as soon as school was over. It (still) is a 8 hours a day 5 days a week camp, taking places in the oratorium/gym/yard of most local churches, organized by the parish with the help of a few ‘animatori’ (basically counselors, kids barely older than those attending the camp). I personally went from 7 to 14 years old and then became animatrice myself for 3-4 years. I still remember all the songs, the daily trips, the games and the stupid shit we did.
If you want to listen to the song, I found it sang by an Italian singer (Riccardo Zanotti of Pinguini Tattici Nucleari) on radio. It’s a reedition of what basically is a church chorus.
