Iโm obsessed with the idea of Wylan using British slang while Jesper is just like horri/terrifed
Wylan: โyeah, Chef was making apple pie today, so I stole a swipe of some squirty cream from the bowl.โ
Jesper, slowly turning to look at his husband, twitching: ๐๐๐
Wylan: ???
Jesper:
Jesper: โw h a a t ? ?โ
#I am American so I might be wrong abt the context#If I am just pretend they have whipped cream canisters in all their Victorian tech ๐ญ#six of crows#soc#shadow and bone#jesper fahey#wylan van eck#wesper#Iโve just realized it totally sounds like I think Apple pie is just british#Which it is not itโs very American ๐ญ#I just couldnโt think of a British dessert lmao

British Buck
Okay so I'm rewatching S2 E6 (Dosed) and like I'm not fully paying attention. But then all of a sudden my ears pick up a very unmistakable British slip of the tongue from a Mr Oliver Stark at approx 35:36. Now I'm not entirely certain how on earth I managed to not notice it until now but it is certainly there.
It's when Buck approaches Bobby in the gym and says "You missed a hell of a show".
Up until now I have been so adamant that Oliver's accent hasn't slipped in the show but now I wanna see if I can spot any more.
#evan buck buckely#911 fox#911 show#911 abc#911 season 2#oliver stark#I must have seen this episode like 5 times#i dont know how i missed it#(for context I am British so the fact i didnt notice until now is really bugging me)#911 spoilers#911s2e6

Okay I am ready to dive headfirst into loving this show. Three things about me: I'm a palasaki shipper first and foremost, Monty is my SON and I wanna squish his face so bad, and I like Edwin and Charles platonic soulmatism above all else. Like yes romance can be built on top of what they have but as it stands, what they have is incredibly trusting and deeply queer and, in my opinion, undeniably platonic. It's everything to me tho. I see why everyone sees the romantic connection though and think that is great concept for fanfic. Thank goodness for fanfic, am I right? Anyway save dead boy detectives. It's pretty brills.
#i can already feel myself wanting to incorporate โbrillsโ in my everyday vocab#for context i am american and do a very poor british accent#anyway this show is pretty brills#dbda#dead boy detectives

Here's a super quick mock-up I made of a visualisation regarding the BRCU Timelines.
The default black lines represent a linear Timeline from 1865 to 2033, the earliest and latest dates portrayed in the BRCU.
The coloured "1865" and "2033" at either end of each Timeline serves to indicate which Timeline I'm referring to as in accordance with the key in my pinned post.
The coloured dotted lines with directional arrows represent Blame's time travel in Blame the Hero.
I've been meaning to make a long overdue proper time travel analysis post (of the scientific concept in general, not just in the context of the BRCU) for a while, and hopefully this will be a good starting point for now.
#brandon rogers#brcu#bryce series#normal british series#blame the hero#stuff & Sam#graphic design is NOT my passion#digital anything isn't my passion either I am such a traditionalist in my heart I love sketching things out with pen & paper#but I figured a digital version might be easier to understand#hopefully this is helpful!#more context coming soon I promise

i really don't think you should be promoting organisations from other countries on social media unless you have direct ties to them. like people unfamiliar with the context will just end up sharing stuff that's pretty contentious with the local left and they just have no idea. for some stuff e.g. the swp in britain, yes some quick online searching will bring you up to speed, but for some other stuff the issues w various orgs mostly just spread by word of mouth. and while im happy to say that eg a certain org is known for being transphobic, some of the issues we have with orgs can't just be shared on our public social media on a website that doesn't respect privacy like tumblr, bc to explain them means to reveal (& therefore reveal to the state if we're posting on tumblr) our involvement/past involvement with them as political organisers.
#for the latter reason i can't say everything this post is about (except that ofc i am mostly just qualified to talk about when non-brits#have promoted british left groups on tumblr so you can assume this is about brit groups ig)#but for the sake of minimising how vagueposty this is#some examples i can name include: obviously promoting all the swp fronts; there have been some big posts promoting sutr in the face of the#race riots lately. also ngl 9 times out of 10 promoting a british communist group will also be promoting a transphobic group lol#have seen a cgt sticker on here and probably other stuff i forgor about#on a somewhat related note it does get annoying how many false claims ppl make about orgs that i cant correct bc i would only know that#through being involved w them. or like just speculation about the internal workings of a group that even if you could correct anonymously#you wouldnt bc why would you share that info#it's just so stupid how many people speculate about things w various orgs where the people who know the answers to your speculation are#never gonna fucking tell you lol#i have shared fundraisers for groups in other countries/in contexts i dont organise in but only bc i have trusted contacts

Jersey Boy (Patreon)
#Doodles#SCII#Helix#Max Vyer#Dexter Favin#I love that he's from Jersey hahaha#Of all the accents out there I can honestly say that was Not one that I expected#To be fair he was only born there which says nothing of if he actually lives there but y'know - where's the fun in Not imagining an accent#''Chawklet'' and ''cawfee'' lolol#It's very charming! And silly!#In a similar way to how I was so pleased with myself for figuring out Caleb's full name from the context in Helix and then it's right there#I just enjoy learning all these fun and new and interesting things! Love new data hehe โฅ#Sends me down new considerations that I never would have otherwise! Inspiring โช#Part of the fun of speculating about their accents before even though I knew British was incorrect lol#Since my internal voice is solidly Midwestern I don't really know much about the culture around other accents haha#I actually had to look up the key indicators of a Jersey accent to remember what it sounds like lol but I am familiar with it!#Makes me wonder about little bits of everything! Does Dexter have a Jersey accent - does Caleb!#And would it even come up haha would he be expected to speak with it or without it? Taught one way or another?#It's all interesting!#I've always been a fan of Max's way of speaking just in his syntax hehe โช Evidence that points towards his intelligence!#Yes he's impulsive and silly and unmotivated hehe - but he's clearly bright! Even says so โซ#He's based in ZEX and ZEX is Very intelligent - it only makes sense! It tracks it aligns!#And I continue to have my own pet theories as to the contributing factors towards his vocabulary for example hehe โช#I love Max he's wonderful <3

if i get one (1) comment, ONE SINGLE COMMENT about making a listener character say 'biscuits' instead of 'cookies' in this next one, i swear to GOD you will never have seen anyone delete their blog as fast as i will
#i will not - will NOT - have anyone else coming into my godforsaken askbox and bitching about this sort of thing every fucking again#SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP#in the grand scheme of things is this an incredibly minor thing? yes and i understand that#but surprise! my writing does not exist to cater to your delicate american-english-speaking sensibilities#i am already having to word things differently and cut out things i want to say because i KNOW that british english does things differently#and who am i doing that for? well it's not me and its not the imaginary people in the story#so take a great big guess as to WHOSE benefit thats for#do i go around kicking and screaming when other people say things that don't make sense with the version of english i speak#but that i can very easily understand through context or at the very least the INFINITE RESOURCES OF THE INTERNET?#surprisingly enough i do not!!#im never turning on anon ever again in my entire life#why is THIS the hill ur dying on anyway bestie#like is this genuinely the best thing you could think of doing with ur time#'ah yeah i really need to spend my friday night complaining about britishisms to some bitch on the internet'#well cheers to that mate. now fuck off x

love seeing goyische Takesโข about israel that conveniently and unsubtly ignore that the modern state of israel was founded in the wake of the holocaust
like, was european (and later american) statesโ support of zionism an explicitly colonial project? yes. did european jews in the wake of the holocaust (and frankly before it) have a VERY GOOD REASON to want to have a nation-state controlled by jews? also yes. does that excuse the colonial way in which the nation of israel was founded and its national status enforced? no. is israel the only state involved and the only government at fault? also no.
#mine#ce#israel/palestine for blacklist#EVERY DAY i am forced to see Takes.#like. the british empireโs defeat of the ottoman empire in palestine and the existence of Mandatory Palestine are#SO FUCKING IMPORTANT to the context of how israel got The Way It Is. so is the history of antisemitism in europe & in n africa & west asia#but you donโt get to pick and choose what parts of history you acknowledge either. jews did imperial-backed colonialism before the holocaus#AND then the fucking holocaust happened and that had a massive influence on the international viability of the zionist project.#jews everywhere faced violent antisemitism AND jews in palestine faced justified backlash to their settlement of occupied land.#itโs more complex than โX group was wrong abt everything and Y one was rightโ. nuance nuance nuance.#if youโre gonna cite history do it right. fucking. please.

Everytime I see the word 'naughty' I am hit with a pain ray, like, I never thought much of it until I moved to the UK a few years ago and then it became a word I can only read with a heavy Yorkshire accent or associate with parents yelling at their toddlers, so now if I'm reading a sentence where it's supposed to be hot or sexy I can't not laugh because it's in such a different voice in my head compared to the rest of it.
Like, it's in the freaky font for me, example(sorry in advance) :
"you've been so ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, I need to punish you for acting so ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. If you continue to act ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ I will show you what ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ brats get for being ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐."
#Does this make sense?#It makes me cringe so hard I can't find it hot no matter how hard I try#Like โyou've been naughtyโ OK santa Claus#Lmfao#For context I'm canadian but am British now because I have moved here a long time ago#So the rest of the sentence is read with a Canadian accent#Meow#Meme#Linguistics#Freaky font#tumblr#idk#shitpost#Fanfiction
