#Abt the listening to accents point i did like

[gerrymike]

Writing pointers Ive internalised up to now more or less for my own reference no one asked but i needed the refresher

- classic show not tell kinda subscribed to the Palahniuk school i dont have the article on hand but it’s good even though i forget to do it sometimes. My philosophy is show for the 80% of time where showing lets you puppet around sexier pictures, tell for maybe 20% of the time when you have a specific voice to the telling and if the pictures the showing makes are pointless/redundant/slow-downs. okay hey wait I found the article it’s called “Nuts and bolts”

- Ocean Vuong on metaphors where the metaphor HAS to serve a purpose or connect to something, or at least have an “underneath” underside to it that can’t be accessed through any other means, note: sometimes the metaphor comes to you but usually if you feel real strong about it and can’t seem to replace it with anything else then it’s probably got a hidden layer already that will show itself to you with time even if it doesn’t really make sense in the moment. This pointer is the main source of my anguish when i read my old stuff because Im always like fucccckkkkk this metaphor is so gauche, what are you doing

- again i dont fkin remember where this is from but the thing about external/internal prose - God i swear this is from someone’s medium account but i don’t know. Basically interior novels where page space is mainly your character’s thoughts VS physical space novels, with your characters moving around, acting out and interacting with an environment with their thoughts maybe veiled from reader. Kind of ties into Nuts and Bolts with the showing, but on a diff level I like to stay in the external realm in a way where you could block the whole novel as a play with clearer, charming actions that can translate to visually compelling stage directions. Of course it depends on how interior/exterior your narrator/character is but in principle i find it easy to dislike overly interior narrators (why should your reader care what your narrator thinks??)

- secondary to prev point, if the movement/interactions you block aren’t inherently stylish then they should serve a purpose, moving your characters from point A to point B necessitates a relevant activity at point B, a push factor away from point A, or valuable information communicated from what happens in the journey…wait i say stylish a lot i dunno if ykwim best example i can think of is from Miss Julie where (even though it’s secondary to the dialogue at hand) while Julie tries to bargain with Christine you have Jean VISIBLE TO THE AUDIENCE in the wings of the stage sharpening his razor two hands nodding to himself as she repeats exactly the words he used to bargain with her <- THAT is style

- kinda boils down to the common thing about ensuring motivations for all of your characters, like all of them should have wants that drive them to be in places (if you flesh your guys out wholly enough this should come naturally)

- on character voices best if you can reach a point where you can basically hear them chatting at you in your head: best examples I think are like, Mercymorn from the locked tomb (crazy brilliant and bonkers voicing from muir imo), Tennessee williams plays (but they’re plays so obviously the voices are meant to be heard - i just personally haven’t seen any of them performed so i hear them 100% based on williams’ skill in writing dialogue)… no real tips on getting to this point but if you’re going for a specific brogue obviously listening to it helps. Though the point of writing fiction is ofc that it’s fiction and you can make your characters talk funnier and smarter than anyone in real life might so like: liberties, my philosophy is style over realism in the tradition of stage monologues and the like, where your characters chat in the manner you wish people around you talked all the time (STRIKE THROUGH THE MASK!!!!!)

- word count for sake of word count is your enemy if you ever catch yourself writing a scene that bores you, if it bores your reader then no ones gonna be happy. Cut it and frame it in a way that you like enough to keep in at all costs

- lowkey been trying to cut down my semicolon usage because I grudgingly see the value of Cormac Mccarthy stylistic choices but laaaaiiiikeee its hard and sometimes you need it to install a kind of half-breath in your prose - i think the middle ground I want to reach is the use of it as a luxury and not like pepper (literally searched the last chapter for my semicolon usage and its 28 like 3 per thousand words :( help)

- literally never make me read the word cishet in a serious work of writing ever. “Dysphoria” no “trans” its 50/50 “genderfuck” get out of town no “intersectional feminist” no. Okay lol this point is just me being not liking any explicit integration of the present cultural-political terminology into writing and also me being a bit bitchy about this one lgbt cult novel named after a US state if you can guess which. My view is it will always be gauche and i dont like it and it tends to prompt me to say out loud to myself My God I hate gay people

More later if i think of it but i swear ive yet to meet the writing pointer from a true sage that is gonna transform my thinking and make what im capable of transcendental

That smile on your face, makes it easy to trust you.

Girl with the smile. - Sergio Pérez x Reader.

summary: Checo finally gets to talk to the girl he's been smiling at every day.

The sun hit her face so beautifully, like an ancient greek goddess. There are so many words Checo could use to explain her beauty, yet none ever captured the breaths she takes away. Every drill, every motor sound blurs and the world slows when she smiles right back at him.

It's been a race season filled with smiles from her. Teeth showing, or even just a grin that he couldn't get enough of. The amount of times he has caught her staring can't be counted, but it also works vice-versa.

Y/n is her name, she's Adrian's new protégé. They never crossed paths enough to talk, maybe the fact they were both blushing even at the sound of each other's name helped with the avoiding too.

The moment Sergio saw her relaxing outside the garage on her phone, he just knew it was time to finally talk to her. Those bambi eyes she always had moved up to look at him. And that damn smile came out again. Y/n's pink lips pulling and her perfectly asymmetrical teeth showing.

" Hi! " She started the conversation with a light giggle at his presence. Locking and setting her phone down, leaning forward to show him how much she was interested in talking to him.

His legs shook, being at her full mercy. She could simply walk away from him and he'd still watch her walk away with a love-sick look. A permanent blush stuck on Sergio's face at her attention to details.

" Hey. " Showing a tight lipped smile to her.

" I'm Y/n! How are you Checo? " The way she talked so gently yet so confident in her own knowledge made him want to listen to her for eternity. Her accent is heavy on the way she says his nickname. Heavenly and simply beautiful.

" I'm good. It's finally the moment for us to talk. " Light pours over his back, highlighting the way his eyebrows move closer while pronouncing words, as if to not trip over himself. Y/n never saw Sergio do that with anyone else. It made her chuckle.

Her hand finds her drink, taking a quick sip only to resume her talking.

" Been looking for you every day and night I'm here. " Laughing at her own middle school crush.

" I've been wanting to hear your accent slip through when you're talking to me, not to those interviewers. " He stated, remembering the times he saw her embarrassed over not knowing the english words for something.

" If you want it, i will grant it to you, Sergio. "

Can i ask a request abt when f/reader is from another country and Ghost hearing her talk in her native language🥹 (kinda fluff) I love your writingssss🫣

ghost loves when you speak your native language

Ghost was used to picking up bits and pieces of other languages. Part of the job, really. He could say of course in Spanish. He knew how to drill out a few commands in broken German. He could pick up on some words spoken to him in Italian.

So when he meets you— it's only natural that he takes an interest in your native language.

In the beginning, you notice the small things. He will randomly point to the food on the table and utter a cockney-accented version of your language's word for it.

"Simon, where did you learn that?"

"Jus' did some research, pet."

But the first time he hears you speak in your native tongue truly piques his interest. He doesn't know why— maybe it's the effortless roll of the words from your lips. Maybe it's because your voice, his favorite sound, somehow smooths into a slightly lower octave when you speak your first language.

You're speaking to a family member on the phone. He's sitting on the couch reading a book. Headphones on.

But he slips the headphones down. Listens to the sound of your talking for the entire hour-long conversation.

And that night, for the first time—

"Wanna hear you speak to me," Ghost requests lowly. "Helps me sleep."

Not an unusual request of his. But when you start telling him random things, soft murmurs to lull his tense muscles into relaxation, he stops you.

"Your language, pet," he interjects. "Speak to me in (native language), yeah? Like the sound of it."

A flush to your cheeks. But you comply. You begin to speak softly in a language he doesn't even understand, but the sound of it— something of a lullaby for him. Soft words that helped a masked man, whose vast form took up most of the bed, drift off to sleep.

WHY DID MY POST ABOUT ALASTOR ANGST PROMPTS GET SO MANY REPLIES LMFAOOOO

okay chat here we go..!

integrated some of these into a radioapple oneshot btw.. so you will see these even if you yourself don't write them >:]

• i'm pretty sure deer ears can hear a lot better than normal ones, and with more range. considering the fact majority of the hotel don't exactly like him and they're pretty paranoid about him (valid ngl) he could probably hear them talk smack abt him :(

• ok so,.,. unsure but i heard once in history class that in his time slave traders called black people bucks and does. weeeeell-

• "a smile is a powerful tool-" "it's not a tool, it's not supposed to be that! what messed you up so much to think it's that!?"

• of course a side ot cyanophobia (did i spell that right??) - phobia of dogs :3

• even if he was a hunter i like to think that with his new deer ears and also the fact he was killed by a hunter themselves,.,. i don't think he can handle the sound of a shotgun anymore for long

• he doesn't sleep because he believes it to be vulnerability

• we all know that like his dad was probably abusive to both him and his mother right??? what if,.. what if his mom died to his dad just rhink about it logically to him it would teach him two things - the world is cruel , and the vulnerable are its victims. so no more vulnerability !!! hahaha!!

• he's mixed race right?? i like to think he didn't have many friends or couldn't have many, so when he was on the air (pre-death ofc) he had a tendency to start talking to his listeners like they were friends - though he tried to stop it

• he actually still needs glasses but he settled for a monocle bc "theyll think im weak !!!!!!!"

• he had a small garden of flowers at some point so he could always bring his mother's grave some,.,. WAHHH

• this one is pretty far off and lowk too poetic but maybe the day he started loving red just a tad too much was the day he came home to his mother , dead in a pool of it? for the rest of his life he always had some sort of red on him -- a reminder of what was lost. in death the accents of black i like to think are for mourning

• he defo has a picture of his mom but it got destroyed in the finale when the hotel collapsed 💔 i do have a full idea on this somewhere ill look 4 it

• owns his dad's soul in hell but he can't do much to him because he's admittedly still a little scared of him

these are lowk ooc but i mean it's alastor this man doesn't let anyone see what's actually him 💀💀💀 and it's fanfic too,.,. we can pretend chat we can pretend

[r0s3m4ry-mp3]

can you write hcs for eyeless jack and Jeff the killer :3

YIPEEEE I WANTED TO DO JEFF AND EJ HCS

EYELESS JACK/JACK NICHOLAS ☆°•.•°!!

I hate how ppl make ej like so humanlike

Hes quite literally a baldass hooded demon

Idk where ppl got the brunette hair from😭

Hes 7,6

He lives in abandoned houses

I feel like his mask is apart of his body and hes kinda similar to no face from spirited away

Instead of the hoodie thing i think his whole body is all black so he can blend in better with the dark atmosphere of ppls rooms at night and only his "mask" opens up at the bottom when hes like eating or something

He usually wears some sweatpants and just goes out shirtless bc he cant find anything that fits him😭

He has 4 tongues and they have black sticky liquid coming off them

He has sharp claws and like 3 toed feet kinda like a chicken or smth but sharp

Hes very skinny like literally skin and bones

Lik you can literally see his ribcage and shit and like his spine along his back kinda like the rake

He doesn't really talk but he can if he wants

He mostly just sits in silence so talking with him is kinda awkward

He obviously wanted to be a surgeon but he didnt get to finish college bc of the cult thingy

I feel like hes demisexual

Bro doesn't care what pronouns you use on him hes just like "uh okay then."

He doesn't just like kidneys mf eats the whole person

JEFF THE KILLER/JEFFREY WOODS☆°•.•°!!

This mf sinks😭

Bro takes a shower every3 weeks at one of his victims houses

"Oh yeah i haven't showered in weeks i probably should go do that."

GREASY.

6,0

That one jeff cosplay @/buffalobilllifts did on tiktok is literally him

His hair is so tangled and notted tbh

Hes from Kentucky ☠☠☠

Used to have a country accent but its mostly not noticeable

You can still hear it in some words he says though

He used to be very emo but now hes mostly a metal head

But he will listen to some mcr or something for nostalgia once in awhile

I feel like liu was way more favorited then him

His parents were really never there for him and liu

His mom would be out with random guys and his dad would be out to work or at the bar

They would throw parties at their house like all the time when they were younger

Bro probably smoked alot and now his voice is fucked up

Hes in his early 30s

He also lives in abandoned houses and occasionally vists the proxys safe houses when hes bored or they throw a party

He one to say "you get no bitches☠☠" but then gets all awkward around woman in real life

Hes bicurious and wont admit it

Absolutely hates kids like don't leave him alone with one

He will bully it😞❗❗

Hes very insecure but hides behind this huge ego he has

He and liu grew up in a neighborhood where misogyny and shit like that was normal but as they grew up they changed like alot abt their point of views

Hes heavily burned all across his face and neck and arms and shit

Literally loves slashers

Especially og micheal myers

Probably has a cringy deviantart account from 2008 when he was emo in middle school

Very sarcastic and loud

He honestly really funny tbh

Thats all i can think of right now im probably forgetting some😭😭

[enden-k]

Was there an article or anything regarding the VAs situation? Im just curious because i didnt see anything about it. But it explains a lot.

And side eyeing the german translation as well. It was so whacky in some points. Or the text was so long it didnt show everything but you cant scroll it in anyway.

-🐉

i would have to look for it again but i did see an official post of them regarding the british accent situation and cy yu bringing up its more likely them having bad/no directions/context and not bad acting when dish asked abt the delivery of a scene. also considering that shortly before release it was still unvoiced, you can only guess it was a bit rushed on kuros end (the approval etc)

also its not just with german, its a problem in the game itself which still did not get fixed. apparently on mobile its easier to scroll but on pc the text just cuts off and you miss bits of dialogue if you dont play english dub to listen in. its very annoying, hopefully it gets fixed soon

[real-odark]

25apcsb enjoyers listen to me talk about(/kind of review it for you? except not really because i will never say anything bad about this production) my favorite production of the show!

ever.

MAD theater i LOVE YOU.

i saw their production live (the first time ive ever seen this show live or a production by this company) and it was AMAZING. this is my favorite cast for this show hands down and let me show you some stuff and why you should love them, too !!

(IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ME TALK ABOUT IT/WOULD RATHER SEE THE CAST, I HAVE PICTURES AND A VIDEO NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE POST!!)

here are all of the spellers! arent they the cutest :3 they all portray their characters PERFECTLY, and im currently on a hunt to see all of them in more performances because WOW . i know the point of the show is for it to be obvious these arent preteens playing them but all three of the girls were so cute honestly id trust them if they said they were it was so good. im gonna talk about all of them too !;;

their leaf was obsessed with sonic (sporting a nice sonic cape), and had a very good dynamic with every character and audience member he interacted with ! he say by me when he was eliminated and we talked a bit, and met his actor after the show. ALSO, playing logainne's dad with his soda and being the soccer mom ever is 100% approved by me . the way he effortlessly exchanged between the two roles was . AH.

olive was PERFECT. i cried at the i love you song so bad her little pom poms and im just mhejkn, her fidgeting with the strings of her cat hoodie whenever she was nervous was a great detail just small things like that

CHIP. chip chip chip. boy scout of the year, and JESUS ON A SCOOTER. he was so sassy and his little shenanigans made this character so good hed bite his lip and do little faces like that all the time he never broke id trust this man with my life

barfee , so nerdy i cannot resist this guy. he looks like he smells like hamburger and you know what? perfect. meeting him afterwards, he said that his shoes (for magic foot) were glow up sketchers and both of them were supposed to glow but only ONE did (the other broke) a few nights before and what a champ because he just went with it and CHANGED THE FOOT HE WAS USING to match the one that glew. i wouldve had a breakdown but go richard brown. through the whole show his bad accent and wet dog looks intrigued me

marcy was literally perfection, she had ME stressin out for her. i was sitting by the actresses' grandma and she was so fond of her its so cute. her singing voice is AMAZING there is a clip online i know of its on the theatre's tiktok but to hear that in person when its the song that got me into the show was wow. i relate to her very much and she made this character so personal even with just being in bits and pieces of the show

and finally, logainne. god she was SO FUNNY. the interactions between her and her dads, as well as the other spellers, were hilarious but also so real feeling. her actress, taylor,'s dedication to this role really showed and it worked awesome in the character. her appearance and outfit is the BEST for logainne btw??? no ones talking bout that its so so her ...,

^ also since i mentioned leaf's water bottle, logainne had a pride one + barfee had a pokemon cup. i think olive had one but if she did it was in the bleachers so i couldn't see, but i love how all of their bottles (yes even something just SMALL LIKE THAT) represent their characters the details in this show are sjsjd

here is a picture with the adults too! ill talk abt those three next;;

rona. again, had me crying in the stands. she was adorable the whole show though, with her little quips and interchanges !! her + panch were so funny and also shes GORGEOUS?? but her soccer mom teacher type deal is exactly what i picture rona as.

panch reminded me very very much of ron swanson. he was so sarcastic and hes just such a big guy with all these kids it played off so well !! i love so many different interpretations of panch like twink panch and butch panch, but i think this burly panch with his soft, creepy side for rona was my favorite !

and now, lastly, mitch. HE KEPT BUSTING OUT AS THE SIDE CHARACTER WITH THE AMAZINF SINGING VOICE AND IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD EVERY TIME ??? mitch himself was so so awesome, the tattoos and drug apparell (i am struggling spelling that) fit so well. and also, he just looks so mitch mahoney doesnt he?? like. the character fits the actor so well id be shocked seeing anything else from them because mitch was the perfect role... again, his brief dynamic with all the kids is so goofy

the set;;

it was so cute and the details in the posters on the wall were so childish it made me giggle. they even advertised their theatre's next production, which will be urinetown!! they had seats ON the stage (which is where i sat, naturally), which i think makes for a fun and realistic effect !! when the spellers were eliminated, theyd sit there (they had reserved spots) :3

its evident that all of the cast members had very good relatioships and play off that REALLY well

a little photo dump of them!! on the MAD theatre social medias, they have more and clips of them, too!! id definitely reccomend checking them out because the show's closed :3

overall; i have so much love for this cast and MORE PEOPLE NEED TO AS WELL!!! so here you go 😊😊

THINGS TO KNOW

whittaker was born in 1998 to an extremely wealthy family. the eagans are well-known in sonoma for their heritage wine vineyard. whit has many childhood memories of running between the grapevines, playing chase with his mother and the family dog.

his father loves him, but has extremely high expectations of him and is the entire reason he's getting a phd. if it were up to him he would've quit after undergrad and sailed on his dad's coattails for the rest of his life, but alas !

whit is a pretty quiet guy - he doesn't go out of his way to talk to people and spends a lot of time in coffee shops and cafes, writing or reading.

he's generally nice. like, he likes to chat, will entertain a good conversation, and is naturally quite charming, but ......

whittaker is a fucking snob. like, if you picture what a harvard english major is like, that's whit. he's nice, sure, and relatively friendly, but he's definitely a rich kid. and he has no idea why people think he's "out of touch," which is even worse.

he's insanely smart. like, a genius. which makes the snob thing worse. sometimes he goes off on tangents about things without realizing it and definitely doesn't realize that it probably comes off condescending sometimes.

he is the definition of a trust fund kid, too. he's never worked a day in his life.

he does hate his family's wealth though -- he doesn't like the reputation it gives him.

he's a huge flirt, but like, not in an overt way -- he's just used to getting what he wants and will charm his way into having it !

he's never been in a relationship - sleeps around a LOT

noah hayes is his half-brother, although he doesn't know that. his dad has literally never told him about his little fling before he was born, let alone about the son that bore from it.

CONFIDENTIAL: whittaker tells everyone that he's in kings haven to take a break from studying and to write poetry, which is somewhat true, but he's also here because his parents are getting concerned about his habits ( read: his alcohol & drug use ). they don't know the true extent of it, but they know he's struggling with something and they're hoping some time away from his usual environment will help. so, they put him up in kings haven free-of-charge for as long as he wants, and whittaker likes it here so far.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

hookups ! he gets around quite a bit ( f / m / nb )

friends ... real ones. back at harvard he tends to self-isolate so he's still kind of learning how to actually hold down a real meaningful relationship. ( f / m / nb )

a good ol' unrequited love plot would be sweeeeet. in either direction ! ( f / m / nb )

people who think he's an asshole, bc there's gotta be at least a couple ! ( f / m / nb )

[diggersofgraves]

fucking hate when someone calls out other ppl for appropriating latino culture or making fun of some aspect of it. and then in comes some random ass latino, "we dont care abt this, we're laughing with them, we're not sensitive 🙄"

bitch First of all, stand the fuck up for yourself. they made a fucking joke at ur expense and they continuously do it and u wanna laugh with them 🥺

and its not just at ur expense. its at the expense of ur parents. siblings. friends?? if as a latino you've never experienced aggressions or had ppl already decided ur not trustworthy or speak to you like a child bc they assume u dont speak english or call you names or have police target ur dad and push him around when he's just walking or claiming that ur mom had drugs on her on a random ass stop bc for what fucking reason, idk, but it fucking happens or getting referred to as "you people" constantly paired with just an awful assumption abt "you ppl" or bullied for an accent ir not speaking english.

thats great for you. im really glad you didnt have to deal with that, specifically if u grew up in the US, but honestly, anywhere else where these might present as problems.

but this whole "latinos aren't sensitive 🥺 not like other ppl" shut up shut up shut up

BC the Second thing im talking abt is the fucking rude ass implications always attached to that fucking statement. these people always bring up "being sensitive" and "other people". underhandedly undermining the progress and valid statements and concerns and violence brought up by other racial and ethnic minorities. theyre speaking out abt their experiences and the unfairness of it and in comes this fucking guy, claiming its ppl being sensitive and they can't take a joke, but he can so he's better and he's different. YOU HEAR THAT, WHITE PPL??? HE'S DIFFERENT!! YOU GOT THAT?? UR SURE??

literally fuck you dude, you'd rather laugh next to an oppressor than the black, brown, or indigenous person who's speaking abt the endless struggles that the oppressor ur standing next to causes that makes their lives difficult and, many times, dangerous. good job, ur just like them now, im pretty sure thats what u want? like genuinely, thats what u want?? did they choose u??

and yeah, Third, bc despite the fact that its not obviously there sometimes, the fucking anti-blackness/racism in these statements and occurrences and within the community as a whole. your experiences as a white latino or even as "mestizo" (i dont particularly like using that word to describe myself or others bc of its roots in the spanish caste system, but I don't have a better word, if anyone can help out there, I'd appreciate it very much <3) dont encompass all latino experience within the US OR within the country your family might have immigrated from. talk to your fellow afro latinos and indigenous members of the community. even if you're dont experience any struggles to speak abt, if ur families doesnt, listen to other people in ur community and be a fucking ally. fucking idiot

my Fourth and probably final point is documentation status within the US. if u came into the US with documents, if u were born in the US, etc etc. thats privilege baby. i guarantee you ur experiences as a documented latino is going to be different than the experiences as an undocumented latino.

there are resources you can reach when ur a citizen that are unavailable to undocumented ppl. and not just latinos in this case, i mean from all over the world, but especially if ur a racial/ethnic minority in the US.

my mom came to the US undocumented. she was getting that shit ready when my family had a fallout and we became homeless. the fucking. obstacle's she had to go through to access resources were fucking crazy. many many times they didn't want to offer these resources to her or us simply based on her undocumented status. many many assumptions were made abt her and our family. she was taken advantage of in jobs and programs.

the problems didnt exactly stop when she finally became a resident, but that weight was so so so much lighter on her after that. we finally had access to resources they refused her before and things became much easier.

I know that as someone who was born in the US, im already less likely to face such events that my mom did. that's privilege already.

if u go to or went to a majority latino school, there might be a chance that there are students who recently came from latin america, maybe within the last year or few months or weeks (my hs school had new students come in every couple of months). pay attention to how they're treated. not just by students, but by the staff. there is discrimination going on there. teachers might make little comments, call them lazy, stupid. its not funny. speak up for them. these teachers are making nasty comments in english when the students usually dont grasp the language so well yet, they JUST moved there. if you dont need to speak up for yourself, fine, speak up for others.

making jokes out of latino struggles reinforces stereotypes and its not you on the bad end of them bc ur laughing with the white man on the otherside. but there are still members from ur own community that might fit some of the stereotypes (bc ur reinforcing these stereotypes by making fun of the CULTURE, our actual way of life) and thats enough for some racist or xenophobic asshole to grasp onto and make a persons day or life a little shittier.

ur not the only person in ur community. there are actually communities out there, latino ppl who speak up on the issues ur laughing abt. in laughing with the oppressor, ur undermining ur community. fuck off dude, fr.

[soysaucevictim]

I just watched/listened to Daniel Thrasher's "Igowallah". (Otherwise titled, "How rap sounds to non-english speakers".)

It got me thinking about music and linguistics shit.

On the one hand - this kinda makes me think of Adriano Celentano's "Prisencolinensinainciusol" and Neil Cicierega's "Word Disassociation" in that it's meant to be gibberish. Tho I think the fact Celentano had a bit more of "a point" since he was Italian (presumably ESL), making a song blending phonemes in how he crafted that song. Just to grab this blurb from the wiki article:

The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, however the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible gibberish with the exception of the words "all right".[8][9]... Celentano's intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. The intent was to demonstrate how English sounds to people who do not understand the language proficiently. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slang—which, for a singer, is much easier to sing than Italian—I thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."[6]

And Neil's song also has a lovely, vaguely "fluent aphasia" sort of feeling. But like. Some of the strange couplings of the nonsense strings of actual words conjure surreal as hell imagery. Like what the hell even is, "My elusive hula yellow sketching creamy helium gentlemanly communique"?? ?

I don't really know what was like, the artistic intent behind Thrasher's song here - besides some kinda of parody of rap. Which I guess is fine? It is kinda of interesting - in comparing it w/ Adriano and Neil.

I'm just kinda iffy about some folks just being snobs about rap in the comments of it, man. It feels like this veers a bit dangerously close to how White people can mock Chinese (and Cino-adjacent) speech. Just because of the, well, distinctly Black American roots hip hop has.

As someone who probably has mild language processing issues with lyrical content anyways (so i typically first pay attention to instrumental/production elements), but also enjoys hip hop regardless... people just going off abt how that's just what rap sounds like to English speakers. Just gives me a bit of the ick? (Especially with me realizing that maybe, just maybe, hating on disco being popular was at least partially fueled on by antiblack attitudes... sooo...)

Can't really glean or comment on intent here (not really that familiar w/ Thrasher as an entertainer, so I'm trying to be charitable) - just commenting on some of the feedback I've seen there. Also also, just as a bit of writing care (like in art, not like casual txt conversation) - it's worthwhile to check if a key-smash bit of gibberish isn't some kind of obscure slur in a different language, just as a show of good faith. Because man, this song almost sounded like it was at least flirting with that mistake. (Just an experience I've seen from the larger writing community on world-building stuff.)

Basically there are things I do legitimately enjoy about this song that I got recc'd. There's some fascinating linguistics and art philosophy conversations to be had here. But there's also a just some background reservations I just wanted to ramble about.

Idk if any of this makes much sense. But. Yeah. :,D

[ozzybrainrot]

Guess what I feel like existing again so here I am.

Now here's my list of 10 reasons why this man is human perfection

1. Tragic backstory go brr. He honestly didn't deserve all that to happen why did Thomas Wayne have to be such a jack rabbit I wanna give him a hug

2. British accents >>>>>

3. Tell me he isn't built like a model. TELL ME HE ISNT BUILT LIKE A MODEL. His cheek bones are on F L E E K, his hair is well done and looks fantastic, he looks thin yet buff at the same time, I can go on Abt this man for hours so serious

4. He's a badass. He literally SNATCHED Bruce's company right from under his nose and is all salty about it during the press conference, I love the sass on this man

5. Ozzy in a suit. OZZY IN A SUIT.

6. I know I'm going on and on about his looks but he has a personality to die for. He's flirtatious, the right amount of devious and slightly crazy.

7. He's way better than VICKY VALE. I'ma be clear I hate her ugly ass. She gave me bad vibes as soon as I saw her and I knew she was horrible. She just infuriates me. And least Oz doesn't hide that he hates Bruce, but Vicky was just, ugh I hate people like her. Oswald got the point across and was an amazing villain but Vic just felt annoying. MOVING ON.

8. I love raspy voices to a unhealthy amount. Like I could listen to him all day.

9. Lemme bring up his sass again. So in the boss battle with him in chapter 4 if you decide to go to Wayne Enterprises, OH MY GOODNESS. I can't give line by line but he is so damn - JSCJZJJSOFOEOEJSJMSKLSM

10. His unbridled anger is just so interesting to me. He does all this waiting and planning though he's like hella angry. I admire his patience.

Also this got me dead

HOW DID HE GET DISHONERABLELY DISCHARGED

WHAT HAPPENED 😭😭😭

[whoseafraidofliloleme]

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫:

This is chaos.

He is having the time of his life.

She sticks by him.

He doesn't let anyone get any colour on her.

Saanvi's got him wrapped around her little finger.

He doesn't care.

Your uncle and aunt are just confused.

Saanvi's a shy girl yet is in love with ur boyfriend?.

You just shrug.

You think this random but sudden bond is cute.

Literally she never leaves Niki.

For more chaos.

There is an impromptu dance competition.

Saanvi and Niki win obviously.

Niki cause he's actually the best dancer.

Saanvi was too cute for anyone to say anything bad.

Saanvi actually cries when it's time for her to leave.

Makes you promise to never break up with her Niki Bhai.

Saanvi hugs Niki and tries to stop him from leaving.

That doesn't work. Niki promises to come and visit her.

To date, he still visits her.

winner for le hc thing ? hi

(From this post)

THIS FUCKING GIF IS KILLING ME. ANYWAY YOURE UNLEASHING DEMONS Sexuality Headcanon: Literally look me in the eyes rn. And take a wild guess (they're gay and very flamingly so) Gender Headcanon: Nonbinary & very flamboyant about it. They used to experiment a lot when younger but mostly when It comes to gender expression, I see them as identifying as genderless basically Ever A ship I have with said character: Good lord. Winnerclock makes me insane you don't understand the POTENTIAL these two have. Winner came out of their friendship/relationship with Loser and left an entire carreer behind and It seems like they don't like being reminded of it, meanwhile Clock doesn't seem to fully.. get that yet or needs to be further hammered in his head that Winner has boundaries and he's kind of . Very Fail. But Winner is a little fail too cuz I need them to be like Hey Man . Can you not do that. THEY NEED TO TALK IT OUT. BUT I THINK WINNER DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE W SOMEONE WHOS RIGHT FOR THEM (I need you to know "Who treats you right" by Pansy Division just started playing I feel insane) AND CARES and they're both people who've been forgotten before (Clock's entire team forgot abt him). I don't think Clock JUST likes em cuz they're famous cuz like.. why else would he remember them when no one else does. Once that idol x fan barrier is broken down I feel like they could really come closer to each other and leave past things behind. I feel like Im pointing at a whiteboard rn like an insane lunatic just listen to me man. Also Clock is gay as hell you can't ignroe that A BROTP I have with said character: I do not have BROTPS/NOTPS with them So lemme tell u about some other ships I have Winner x Loser: h . H Nate. Do I even need to tell you. I am pointing at the goikytown docs rn I CANT EVEN SAY MUCH THAT ISNT SAVED FOR GOIKYTOWN BUT LIKE YKNOW. THEYRE SO DIVORCECORE Plus Im such a SUCKER for bandmates (Since I hc them as such) They make out sloppy style after performances Winner x Spongy / Winner x Loser x Spongy: Sooo yeah if Winner x Loser isn't enough, they're in a polycule with Spongy - Remember how Loser called Spongy old pal when he was eliminated again? They're buddies. They were bandmates. I think these two are super cute with each other even If they never interacted JUST THINK ABOUT IT. They're both kind & caring and good for each other Winner x Snowball: Heh. Okay I don't think about these two toooo much but the idea of Snowball seeing another Strong Fella and then having a gay moment over it is very fun I kinda love it LOL A random headcanon: Winner grew up with Funk & Soul music in their Bones... Also I think early in their childhood they were rly fond of 1920s-30s ballroom music, they were a bit of an Old Soul. Semi related, but I think they're a huge 70s enjoyer, esp when It comes to music and fashion General Opinion over said character: WHAT DO YOU THINK. LOL I LOVE THEM TO BITS <3 They grew on me over time once I got ideas for them for goikytown and since Ive always been very fond of fictional Bands I basically got Sooo many ideas for young Winner and sculpted my own Beast and got to think of how it went down the line and now... and everything they did with Loser too. And then clock when July Last Year hit . But ofc I love the original Winner too DUH!! THEYRE SUCH A LITTLE SWEETHEART How could I not... also that accent HHOOOOO BABY (normal) (Im Normal) But Ya this post alone doesnt even scratch the SURFACE of how much I think abt them they're like an OC at this point. Godspeed

CHAPTER TWO: WORRY LESS

table of contents

“A new girl? that’s so cool!” Mina squealed in her seat listening to Aizawa ramble on the basics of you. “That would quite nice.” Momo hummed thinking off in the classroom. “Mr. Aizawa, sir. Would you happen to know her quirk?” Iida raised his hand earning a sigh from Aizawa from the constant questions and curiorosity. 

“I don’t know her quirk, I don’t know what she looks like. Everyone’s guesses are as good as mines, you’re better off asking Bakugou about it tomorrow.” The class raised their eyebrows at the boy, thinking you were his relative. “Don’t ask me shit about that girl, figure it out yourself.” Bakugou grunted looking down at his paper. 

“Is she your relative?” Kirishima whispered to the boy making his jaw lock, and then slowly release. “No. She’s living with us for a year.” he sighed rolling his eyes wanting the questions to come to an end, but to be honest he’s been wondering the same thing as the class.

⁂

“Thank you for taking American Flights, please fly with us soon!” the loudspeaker went off, making you groan at the sudden awakening and the plane slowly rumbling beneath your feet. The airplane smelled like sweat and people; both not enjoyable in the slightest. Your phone was charged and pounding with messages from school friends, Imani, and your parents, luckily putting in an outlet to your phone before you lifted. 

“They do not play around” you laughed at her families constant worrying; but it warmed your heart to know they all cared about you. You texted them all a quick message for their own relief and then looked at the steps UA gave you, 

Your belongings are being flew out to the Bakugous, don’t worry about trying to find them, We have a designated driver coming to pick you up. She’s a bit ambiguous and knows what you look like so no need to try and find her, she’ll find you rather quickly.

You raised your eyebrow at the message, “She knows what I look like?” you questioned turning your eyes to try and find the ambiguous woman. Suddenly a hand fell onto your shoulder, making you jump in surprise. “Easy! I’m your designated drive babe! c’mon.” she motioned you to her car, and you happily obliged, hopping into the black low rise car seeing the beautiful exterior inside.

“See, this is me. Don’t be scared.” she hummed showing you her UA badge, making you feel more comfortable and slump in her seat slightly, “Thank you for picking me up, um?” “Midnight.” She answered for you, steering onto the freeway. The highways looked slightly the same - only you couldn’t read most billboard signs and the buildings looked more luminated in lights. 

“Midnight. So will I be going straight to the school or will I meet my host family first?” “You’ll be meeting your host family first, I’m sure you’re pretty jetlagged and should sleep off today and tomorrow to get used to the time change, on Monday you’ll be assigned with a dorm room. I’m sure Bakugo can show you around.” you cocked your head slightly trying to figure out who she was talking about, you waited for an answer but it never came.

“Is he in my host family?” Midnight nodded - eyes still on the road. “Sorry I know i’m asking a lot of questions, but do you know anything about him?” You could see the woman smirk slightly through the rear view, “Well..” As she was about to finish her sentence, she stopped the car in front of the home you were to stay at for one year.

“This is it!” she ignored your question, mentally groaning at the fact you could tell he would be a pain in the ass. hopefully the rest of the family is nice. you grabbed your bag heading towards the door. A blonde woman opened, smiling down at your figure and opening the door wider for you to come in.

“Hi dear! I’m so glad you got here safely, thank you, Kayama.” you turned around to see the woman heading off in her car - desperate to know what she was going to say about the boy. “I’ll see you at UA kid, see you!” she started her car waving off before she completely disappeared. “Let me show you to your room! I’m so excited for you to come live with us.” you smiled at her genuine demeanor following her up the steps.

You didn’t expect your room to look so, nice? the purple walls cluttered with string lights; a white comforter with small grey blankets and purple rugs to accent the carpet - if you hadn’t knew any better you would’ve thought Mitsuki had a daughter. She caught on to your drift speaking up, “I’m a fashion designer, so I went a little overboard, and i’ve always wanted a daughter.” she nervously laughed, “I love it, Mrs. Bakugou. Thank you!” you went to shake her hand as she shook her head smiling, “call me Mitsuki, sweetheart. You’re family now! I left some clothes on the bed, i’m sure you want to take a shower. It’s right up there.” she pointed towards the door beside another one that wrote “Keep out.”.

“Katsuki should be here in a hour or so, So I recommend taking a shower now so you won’t have to hear his antics.” she rolled her eyes walking off to the kitchen. “I’ll be preparing dinner if you need anything at all, dear.” you nodded placing your belongings down and seeing the rest of the ones you packed already in your room. 

you: Bitch guess what

mani: what.. did something happen alr?

you: NO. THIS ROOM IS SO CUTE.

mani: I’m blocking you yk I wanted to know about the boy.

you: It’s always abt the boy mf what about me

mani: you cute too boo!

you: girl fuck you💀

you rolled your eyes smiling down at your phone, yet her heart swelled deeply missing your bestfriend. It felt like forever since you’ve both been together even though it had been a day at most.

trying to take your mind off things, you took your bathroom belongings, shower cap, and lotion heading towards the door. Looking down at the pajama’s Mitsuki gave you, laid a grey tank top and loose pajama pants. you opened the door, locking it and hopping into the steam to let your worries melt away and go into the drain along with the water.

⁂

“mom? I’m home.” Bakugo grunted shifting his shoes off and walking into the living room, bunch hunched and eyes showing clear signs of tired and restless..

“Hey Katsuki, [Y/N] is upstairs in your bathroom taking a shower. Be nice.” She could feel the boys glare on her back as she endlessly chopped vegetables and stirred a pot before he mumbled endless nonsense walking up the stairs. Biting his tongue, he knew if he said anything he would’ve been slapped upside the head - and he was way too tired to deal with her.

He reached his door, ready to close it and lock it for the rest of the night. Until he heard you humming the low toned sound and smelled combinations of unfamiliar scents inching out of the locked bathroom door. Your humming sounded like a tranquil tune, it was low yet loud enough to hear from his door if he listened closely. 

The water slowly turned off yet your humming continued to the sound, yet he was too drunk of the thought of your voice to even realize it - the shower was like a muffled background noise that was barely audible at that point. It wasn’t until his phone chimed that he was pulled back from his thoughts. 

Kirishima: Hey dude, figure out what the girl looked like yet? 

Bakugo groaned, fully ready to tell his friend off about him not caring what you looked like and that on Monday you’ll all see the famous [Y/N], starting to type he heard the door unlock on the bathroom door.

I’m sorry it was getting too long so I had to stop- but I promise going forth theres gonna be a lot of interactions and way less... stereotypical LMFAO</3

take my hand — kaminari denki

— denki takes great pleasure in listening to music on the playlist he made for the two of you. whenever there's music, he doesn't hesitate to ask you for a dance no matter how ridiculous you two looked.

pairing: kaminari denki x reader

tags: friends to lovers, slight soulmates au, just denki and reader goofing off

genre: fluff

word count: 1.0k

a/n: part 4/7 of the event!! i kinda had a hard time thinking abt this, i hope kaminari isn't too ooc here! also not proofread

being with kaminari denki is electrifying. no pun intended. 

life before you met him was somehow bland, boring and simply lifeless. he's this unstoppable force that burst itself into your life and there was nothing you could do to stop it. it's not like you wanted to, after all everything is fun ever since you met kaminari.

he liked dragging you into his many shenanigans that always gets you two into trouble and always ending up with aizawa glowering down on you two. he even threatened to call your parents at one point but kaminari managed to talk your way out of it. to this day, you still couldn't believe how you both got out of that mess.

he may not be the smartest of the bunch but he sure as hell knew how to make you happy. you swear sometimes you think he's your soulmate. sure, he's probably far from what you imagined what your soulmate would be like but you wouldn't have it any other way. 

he always greets you with a friendly and bright smile when you see each other in public. asks you how you are doing when he notices you alone by yourself and offering you his own company even if it means he's exchanging it for hanging out with his friends. he even introduced you to them and before you knew it, you're part of their rowdy gang that often gets themselves into trouble all the time. 

amidst the craziness and fast paced lifestyle that kaminari is living, sometimes he just likes to chill and hangout. he'd plug in his phone and play the playlist the two of you compiled that is composed of all of the bops that you both loved. most of them were memes but others are just seriously too good not to listen to again. 

“may i have this dance?” he asked in his worst british accent he can muster, hand thrust forward towards you who is currently sitting on the floor as you read a manga. 

“of course, my good sir.” it was like clockwork how you play along with his antics. standing up, you grabbed his hand as he helped you to your feet. 

at first you both swayed side to side softly, hands clasped as you stared at each other with unhidden emotions swirling and encasing both your eyes. then it ended with the two of you just jumping around in your room and singing into your hairbrushes to the top of your lungs. 

“TELL ME WHY!” you sang, hand reaching it to kaminari dramatically.

“AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A HEARTACHE!” kaminari supplied, matched with him kneeling on the floor with his other arm clutching his chest as with his eyes closed.

“TEEEELL ME WHY” 

“AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A MISTAAAAKE”

“TELL ME WHY I NEVER WANNA HEAR YOU SAY,” you both looked at each other before singing in unison, “I WANT IT THAT WAAAY”

your jam sessions (as kaminari called it) usually lasts up until midnight and it would end up with the both of you getting noise complaints as many people are already asleep at that time and aren't too happy to hear backstreet boys blasted in the middle of the night. after the loud singing or more like yelling, and jumping around in your room, you'd both pass out asleep and wake up late for your classes. 

this has been a routine for the two of you after a stressful week. he'd visit you at your dorm room, and you'd visit him at his. it's like you can both read each other's thoughts and have telepathic connection. kirishima had called it creepy one day, but you both told him that it's because you're soulmates that's why you understand each other too well. 

it was just a joke to you, but kaminari found himself blushing and stuttering, heart beating wildly whenever he's with you on his end. he liked to believe you are his soulmate, it makes him feel good saying it. 

one hellish week after an exam, kaminari immediately sensed that you'd beaten yourself up with the weeks prior to the dreadful day. he hasn't seen you since and you've been cramming, holing up yourself in your room to study without distractions. that includes him. now that exams are over, he took it upon himself to help his favorite person unwind and make them feel better. 

now here you were, at your favorite restaurant. kaminari can only look at you with a frown as you still haven't touched your food. you stared blankly at your food as you poked it with a fork, seemingly lifeless. you haven't spoken since the two of you got there. 

the restaurant was pretty quiet, save for the music playing in the speakers. that's when kaminari thought of a wicked idea. a mischievous smirk stretched across his face as he looked at you, nudging your foot with his own.

“what?” you mumbled, looking up from your food. 

“may i have the pleasure of dancing with you?” he had a silly smile on his face as he kneeled in front of you. you immediately looked around, afraid that people might took the wrong idea but none of them were looking in your way. 

“come on, i know how much you love this song.” he tempted, wiggling his eyebrows at you.

“here? right now?” still unsure, your eyes roamed to and fro around the restaurant. it might be embarrassing but if he's gonna do it with you…

“alright. yes, you may have the honor of dancing with me, mr. kaminari.” you both bowed first before he took you to the center of the restaurant, hand on your waist and the other on your hand. 

you were still a bit hesitant to dance with him in a place like this but soon, you found yourself loosening and swaying along to the beat and before you realized, the two of you are lost in your own world. 

“you are crazy, denki.” you fondly murmured, so only he could hear. 

“for you? yeah, i am.” he coolly retorted, smirking down at you with a smug expression that earned an eye roll from you.

dancing with kaminari in a restaurant full of people ogling the two of you weirdly isn't what you expected you would spend the end of your exams, but then again, with kaminari when did you expect things? he has always proved himself to be full of surprises.

the way ive been trying to get to this All Day but i had errands and stuff to run. evil i think

truly jake's voice is so so pretty i could listen to him sing/talk for hours with no complaint

I HAVE MORE FEELINGS ABT BABY WEREWOLF SOLON. BABY HEESUNG ASKING HIS MOM WHEN HIS WOLD EARS ARE GONNA GROW IN BC SOLON HAS THEM. THE KIDS COLLECTIVELY TRYING TO TURN INTO WOLVES TO PLAY WITH SOLON ON THE FULL MOON AND THEIR MOTHERS HAVING TO GENTLY BREAK IT TO THEM THAT THEY CANNOT IN FACT DO THAT. FAST FORWARD TO DECELIS AND NOA'S HAVING A PARTICULARLY ROUGH DAY SO HE ASKS SOLON FOR "just one ride? like old times?" AND SOLON SIGHS AND SHIFTS AND LETS NOA CLAMBER ONTO HIS BACK AND TAKES OFF RUNNING WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER'S FACE PRESSED INTO HIS FUR. YEAH. SOLON FINALLY OPENING UP TO SOOHA AND LETTING HER IN BC "you were always meant to be part of my pack, whether i like it or not, so we might as well be friends" (he's trying his best to express things) AND LETTING HER STROKE HIS FUR AS THE ULTIMATE SHOW OF TRUST. IM SO FEELINGS.

help imagine the sunshine city werewolves malfunctioning as they try to process the cuddle pile and when the decelis group asks what their gawking at they explain "well… we've never seen anyone but wolf packs pile like that" and jino chiming in like "okay…? so get in???" and the most awkward cuddle pile ever ensues after

NO YEAH HDFKSJDFHB THEYD BE LIKE "dont you want to join a real pack?" AND SOLON LIKE "… i have one??" AND THEM LIKE "no, a proper pack. whatever you've got now with those vampires doesn't compare" AND SOLON LIKE "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY BROTHERS??? SQUARE THE FUCK UP KHAN." and safe to say heli and enzy have to hold their respective brothers back

-vrvr anon

ahh the dreaded errands <//3 well in any case you're here now! and god yea i totally agree on jake's voice. its probably half the accent but SHHH

NO OMG BABY. BABY THOUGHTS. BABY HELI ASKING HIS MOM WHEN HIS WOLF EARS WILL COME IN/WHEN HE'LL BE ABLE TO TURN LIKE SOLON OMG IM CRYING. and all the boys just running around roughhousing like wolf cubs in a pack... they dont even give half a shit that theyre not PHYSICALLY able to turn into wolves, thats only a minor discrepancy—love for their brother transcends all physical barriers. NOA ASKING SOLON FOR A RIDE "LIKE OLD TIMES" BC HES FEELING DOWN AND SOLON PRETENDING TO BE GRUMPY ABOUT GIVING IN EVEN THOUGH HE WAS GONNA DO IT ANYWAY BC THATS HIS BABY BROTHER RIGHT THERE. AND THEN SOLON FINALLY OPENING UP TO SOOHA AND ACCEPTING HER AS PART OF THE PACK (WHILE ACTING CONSTIPATED ABOUT IT BECAUSE EMOTIONS ARE HARD)... LETTING PEOPLE TOUCH HIM IN HIS WOLF FORM BEING THE ULTIMATE SHOW OF TRUST FOR HIM... ACTUALLY IN TEARS. god now that ive been introduced to the concept i could talk about baby!/pre-orphanage!decelis boys forever probably

LMFAO AWKWARD DOUBLE-PACK CUDDLE PILE YES IM LIVING FOR IT. love the idea of the sunshine city wolves being like "huddles like that are usually a werewolf-only thing tho???" and the decelis squad just NOT getting the point theyre trying to make At All. like yeah??? and??? idk what youre trying to say buddy but its not clicking, either get in the mega cuddle pile or don't but don't just stand there staring at us. thats weird. and impolite

i feel like the whole "dont you wanna join a PROPER pack? get away from all those BLOOD-SUCKING HEATHENS?" talk happens BEFORE all the previous revelations so after the sunshine city vamps witness just how pack-like the vamps ARE khan is just like "...i confusedly retract my statement." HSJDBFJBF. but yeah no solon would TOTALLY try to wreck khan's shit for insinuating that his brothers arent a "worthy" pack for him, thats his FAMILY goddamnit, you insult the pack you get the smack. its like that one dark moon webcomic panel with heli and khan dragging away their respective younger brothers, shion and tahel, by the scruffs of their necks like squabbling cats, except reversed LMFAO.

(a semi-cursed, potentially sweet scenario i just thought up: maybe when solon's having a bad day or something his brothers cheer him up by discussing what they think they'd be like/look like if they COULD turn into wolves, and its all very sweet and wholesome, until some student walks by and hears the conversation out of context and just goes "...are yall furries?")
