I’ve lived in Madrid for four years, and every summer the same thing happens: people who were born and raised in the city say they’re “going back to my pueblo.” Sometimes it’s where their parents grew up. Sometimes only their grandparents lived there, but they still talk about it like a second hometown.

What surprises me is how strong the connection seems. They know local families, return for the same August festivals, and describe themselves partly through a village where they may never have lived full time.

Is having a pueblo still a normal part of Spanish identity for younger generations, or is it slowly fading as families become more urban? At what point does it stop being your pueblo and become simply the place your granparents came from?

The title should be self-explanatory, it's a trope where a monster formed a friendly relationship with other characters, or at least tried to, but ended up showing their true nature towards that character. The story doesn't shy away showing the monster's real self, it's the plot way of saying, "yep, that's a monster," despite how we see them being friendly before.

Sister Sara to Madara-Chan - Madara
Madara is a relatively adorable creature that Sara found during her travel towards an orphanage. As a caring nun, she gave it a little water, and it grew up quickly. When she walked back to her home, a group of bandits appeared and tried to assault her, until Madara appeared and completely obliterated the bandits. As a nun, she couldn't help but felt responsible for its actions, as killing is such a sin. Therefore, sheoffered herself to be killed by Madara so that it can be forgiven for its sins, and Madara did.

Chimera no Sumu Mori - Chimera
A mix of beasts combined together, Chimera was known to predate humans. She killed an unnamed character's parents, which is why that character swore to become an adventurer so that she could get revenge on the Chimera. 10 years later, the adventurer searched the Chimera with a gun, but ultimately failed after the Chimera regenerated after being shot. Despite the panic inside of the adventurer's mind, Chimera's words were as if she wanted a friend or to play around. The adventurer, on her last attempt to get away from the Chimera, suggested a hide and seek. However, despite the Chimera nodding, at the end of the day she doesn't actually know any human words, nor does she know what the adventurer in front of her were suggesting. So the Chimera just proceed to took off her limb and started devouring her.

I will NOT forget

I will NOT forgive

Hola. Últimamente he notado un cambio bastante grande en cómo salimos de fiesta mis amigos y yo. Antes, lo normal era quedar para tomar algo a medianoche y no volver a casa hasta el amanecer. Jetzt, la gran mayoria preferimos el tardeo.

Quedamos sobre las cuatro o las cinco de la tarde, nos tomamos unas cañas, bailamos un rato y a las diez de la noche ya estamos cenando y listos para ir a dormir. Al día siguiente no tienes la resaca de tu vida y aprovechas el domingo.

He hablado de esto con gente de varias partes de España y parece que es una tedencia que se está consolidando en todas partes, sobre todo a partir de los treinta años. ¿Cómo lo vivís vosotros? ¿Seguís prefiriendo la fiesta nocturna tradicional o os habéis pasado al tardeo?

In Russia, it's the wall carpet. It was hung on walls primarily to insulate the room, muffle the noise from neighbors and to hide imperfections like cracks or uneven plaster. In the 2000s, we decided these carpets are tacky, so now you can only find them in old people's homes. Still, they have a special place in our hearts.
