This German kids' song with a techno beat is legit a banger, and I think I actually learned something from it! Might have found a cheat code for learning a foreign language!

PS = As you can tell from the title, I just basically doubled my German vocabulary. I had to look back to the video to spell gesehen because it isn't spelled at all like how its pronounced, but that was the only one I had to look up after about a dozen repetitions of the song.

Sometimes I wish I was a better artist, so that I could get my visions onto the page better. I've tried drawing the Myrkalves / Nua Sidhe before, and I can never quite capture how creepy they can look in their true form. They're described in the books like... well the Nua Sidhe are basically the Gray Aliens from folklore, but that doesn't really do them justice either. Both are avian beings; Nua Sidhe are usually entirely featherless with pale skin (ranging from paper white to medium gray, generally), but the Myrkalves have downy feathers where a human would have hair, but also on their arms. Both have backwards-bending knees and feet like giant ravens, and similar hands. And while they can look quite pleasant most of the time (IMHO), I have this image in my mind of their apparently tiny mouths widening into these impossibly wide grins that go literally from one ear-hole to the other, with two rows of sharp and pointed teeth.

Avian, yes, but also not. Their biggest obvious difference from birds is their large, almond-shaped compound eyes.

In case it wasn't obvious, they are technically the same species but the two peoples hate each other, mostly. For good reason. The Nua Sidhe have a tendency to abduct people. They initially did it to the Myrkalves, to enslave them. But they also do it to humans for various reasons ranging from pranks to much more serious things like experimenting on or even killing humans.
