Here it is. The crappy drawing of you as an umbrella.

I know your name’s written in Kanji, but A: Idk how to write it, and B: that’d change the meaning of the word, no?

You did great...?

[dracoryss]

It's a bit insulting that some people from my family still act surprised and put in doubt I can understand English??? Like, they know and are aware all of my clients are overseas and I write in English with them and have been doing so for years, but apparently that I can watch yt in English and actually understand everything?? Mind-blowing 🤯 bet they don't even think me capable of writing this rant lol

It wouldn't be upsetting if like, no one of them spoke it, but almost all of them at least understand it, and all their kids (about my age) are fluent so I don't get why they act so surprised I'm fluent as well )):

Like they have seen me hold whole convos with my American BIL , despite the fact his accent is so terrible most of them don't understand him??

(For context, I've been reading/speaking what I think is fluent English for 8+ years and then another 7 years of bad English, as I learned by myself)

one day I wish I could actually like understand songwriting especially for theatre so that I can I dunno actually put to use the random tunes I have in my head that just spontaneously appear while I'm doing the most mundane of shit. anyways patron has the concept of an opening number now

Actually interesting tidbit re: your languages comic! In game it’s implied that Kazuichi can speak/read English bc he reads a sign in English to Hajime! Although I always kind of just imagined he picked it up from watching TV/Movies and isn’t super fluent

Yeah lots of ppl pointed that out and admittedly I plain forgot. But i do think it makes sense that he taught himself through manuals and the internet, so he's better at reading it than most, but when it comes to listening to (the hurried, limp, molasses-like American) English that's where he fumbles. Seeing the words makes sense, hearing eybuddyowyadowein is another. Also being HoH post-game doesnt help.

idk if you guys remember but i said i was supposed to have jury duty this week starting monday and i went down to the courthouse but anyway the case was dismissed literally that same day and we were supposed to get reassigned a case but they were like nahhh you can all go home you're free for 12 months like bless!!! idk if im allowed to say that idk the rules... anyway ireally fw this thing.... we love u kai we all say in unison! naru for crop cause she was the first thing i saw on pinterest but she matches with hhmnyaring so it's ok. i actually came on here to get that url but i think that blog is in the void now.... sad! oh well, there will be other txt related urls i can get in the future

[orbch]

u have a literal pronunciation key on ur blog for the letters in your url and i can’t believe my brain still keeps calling u orb bitch

oh thats not a pronunciation key i was just spelling each letter phonetically (o = oh, r = ar, b = be, etc.) because i thought it was funny. orb-bitch IS actually how it’s pronounced lmfao

[llatimeria]

The HEEEEMIOPTERA IS THERE... inside... your mind...

SING FOR ME, MY CICANGEL OF MUSIC!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! EEEEEEEEE! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[crazy-lazy-elder-sims]

Would America's trumpet and the other western politicians even continue to throw around the word tarrifs and implement the policy if they knew its literally an Arabic word?

[bmpmp3]

for the past couple years ive been slowly. slowly learning beginners japanese and its very fun and im enjoying it a lot but also it has made me painfully aware in ways i wasnt before of how much my specific vaguely ontario accent makes me make out sloppy style with my vowels. i am going at those vowel's tonsils. i am doing things to diphthongs you wouldnt even believe.

It has to be your daughter Akiko. It's her fate.

[mister-eames]

hii! mustn’t be afraid nonnie here .. your words are absolutely wonderful seriously!! Thank you for putting so beautifully.. so here’s another one..

What’s with the deal of “speCIFICITY”? I mean it’s once again, loving improvised by mr Hardy and we would never know why (I guess?) but given in A/E context I feel like it’s either because of one of their past incidents (idk may be once Arthur didn’t take something eames specifically asked for or sth) or OR eames making fun of the using fancy word by Arthur who is actually from a working class family in contrary to eames being from a family who uses such words quite often? Or what do you think? Have a lovely day!!

Hello nonnie and welcome back!!! Thank you for both questions, they're very thought-provoking!! <3

I must say I've always loved the idea that 'specificity' is the latter scenario. I'm convinced of the idea of street-rat Arthur who is self-taught, who doesn't have a fancy education -- mispronounces words/names accidentally, isn't always grammatically correct, despite often being the smartest person in the room. And that, no matter Arthur's attempts to appear refined, and how he can fool everyone else, Eames can tell how rough he is around the edges from a mile away. Maybe when they first met Arthur was seemed read, well-travelled, but gave his inexperience and unconventional education away by mispronouncing words like homage, ingénue, or gist with a hard 'g'. Maybe Arthur can cite pi to the nth place but has never read Vonnegut.

It's not that Eames thinks Arthur is, or has ever been, dumb, that he's not intelligent. It's just that Eames remembers how far Arthur's come, but is also very much the same. He's still that same twenty-something who hates Sunday drivers and will flip off a belligerent stranger on a crowded street and drink cheap, bottom-shelf liquor to save a dime. Now he's just dressed better and can fool others to think he was born with a silver spoon.

Eames, it seems in the case of Arthur, cannot help pigtail pulling. We see him being a bit more of a lad when he's aiming for levity and genuinely taking the piss out of someone ("too much champagne, eh Yusuf?" and making Saito visibly uncomfortable with his forge) but with Arthur he is purposefully trying to rile him up, to poke and prod him until Eames gets prodded back. With 'specificity' and 'condescension' and kicking Arthur's chair, Eames isn't going in for a laugh for the sake of laughing, he's pre-pre-pre-pre courting. Classic 'pay attention to me' behaviour. Eames is exactly like a patellar reflex test - he knows exactly where to tap to get the reaction from Arthur he wants.

And then Arthur looks at Eames with impatience and that something in his eyes and Eames thinks ah, there you are.
