i'm conducting an experiment. everyone who's from an english speaking country state your country, regional area and what you call the following images. i need to see something
i wanted you to know that years ago i was watching one of your rwby oc redraw speedpaints, and my grandma kept wondering where your accent was from because it sounded so unusual LOL
sdgfhjfds honestly ur grandma is so valid for that
Y'know, as a Canadian, seeing people make fun of how John (apparently) says "Orthur", I'm really starting to sympathize with all of the British fans of TMA when everyone was poking fun at Jon's pronunciation of "Mah-tin"
Every time I write or read in English I realize I'm reading and using the same stock phrases over and over. I don't have that feeling in Spanish, I wonder why? Sure, it's my mother tongue so I understand it better, but I also believe it's the diversity of dialects. Every time I read or hear Spanish from other places, or speak to people with other places, I encounter different phrases and also different modes, registers...
Not that English doesn't have its own diverse dialects too, but I'm less exposed to them -which is strange, as 70% of the things I consume on the internet are in English- and so perhaps I tend to think the 'Movie Usamerican Accent' is the default dialect. Even so, the differences between British and American English are rather minor to me compared to Spanish dialects. But again, maybe it's because those are the ones represented in media, I know there are a lot of other dialects I seldom hear.

part 2 of my experiment: what english-speaking country are you from, what region and what do you call the following images? if you don't know what the first image is please try to guess i'd love to see it
More antics of the blu mercs! Didn’t expect such a warm reception to these silly little headcanons at first, and I’m working up the motivation to finish the rest of the team (failing)
All this time I thought Kevin the Canadian was just an amusing joke/a way to make Dong-gyung's aunt both alive and inaccessible because she moved to a far away country, BUT NO, it's a metaphor for the relationship between Doom and Dong-gyung.
Kevin cannot communicate very well or understand Dong-gyung when she starts to describe her crazy situation, but he still offers love and support as best he can.
Which mirrors how Doom can't understand Dong-gyung because he can't read her mind and how Dong-gyung can't completely understand Doom because she isn't the living personification of destruction. And yet, they are still able to love and provide meaningful support to each other.
It's not just comic relief that Kevin can't speak Korean very well! It's deep!!!
