Part 11 comes after Part 10

[aphanon_meme]

Part 10 is over! Part 11 is here. If you haven't checked the challenge entry, the challenge has been extended until Part 11 maxes. Hopefully that is enough time for people who are busy with finals and such to find time to enter, if they'd like to!

Should I mention that the number 11 scares me? I really don't like that number. Like how Natalie Portman hated the number 5 (or 6?) in Where the Heart Is. But a higher number. Well, anyway.

Da Rules:
*No image bombing.

Da Notes:
*If you're feeling down, make sure to get help, and refer to links on previous parts if you need them.
*If you don't know how to post images while anon, refer to this comment. Make sure to follow the directions on that comment as well!

And also:
*Posting on this meme, logged in or not, is opening you up and taking the risk for positive and negative comments. If you can't handle that response to your logged in comments, I'd suggest posting anon and not drawing attention to yourself.
*What you say is what you say, so please make sure you want to say it. Except for special cases (that hopefully will not come up) I won't be deleting or screening comments.
*This is a NSFW space. Warnings are not required.
-Feel free to comment or message me with any questions/concerns.

Haha oh wow, I thought I was the only person who finds the newer greek history and culture more interesting than the ancient one. The ancient one is brilliant (yet not as idealistic as it's often presented) but I find the newer one more... human and earthly, with the common people struggling to survive through shitty decades, not die of starvation while fighting stubbornly against occupying armies, harming themselves over petty shit, trying to rebuild their country from it's ashes again and again....

Same goes with the norse history, I like the modern more than the ancient.

Yes! You shall now be referred to as "awesome!anon!"!
I do love that time period just because, like you said, it's sort of that "will to survive" and starting over and over
Plus, I'm not going to lie, most Greek men are pretty hot in my opinion
I like the Balkans for the same reason too and I've gotten really into Turkish culture just because Muslim traditions are fascinating to a Catholic but Greek culture just really stuck to me

Yes, being hot mediterreanian men helps too. And I think rebetiko and their ottoman-influenced habits are cool.
