Don Quixote's excited energy is too strong. I have spent the last minute saying "Beach Volleyburr" to myself and laughing. I love her so much.

here's a friendly reminder that if english is your second language it's not "to be expected" or "the bare minimum"; it's actually so impressive and so much work to learn another language, let yourself be proud of it

⭐️New Patreon Post!⭐️ Several of them, with all the sketches I found time to do on my trip with family to Singapore and Thailand over these past couple of weeks! My cousin got married in Singapore to his very nice Malaysian fiancee, and last year when the date was announced, a small group of us planned to extend our stay in SEAsia so that we wouldn't have traveled halfway around the world for basically a long weekend. I would never have been able to do such an amazing trip on my own and I'm very fortunate and grateful that I was invited to tag along.

I took lots of pictures-- and in between sightseeing and family time and travel and devouring fresh ripe mango like some kind of frugivorous mammal, I had time to do some drawing, from life and from my photos. I hope to do more drawings from my trip now that I'm back home!

monolingual people really don't know how to write multilingual people do they

大学も高校も日本語を勉強したけど、たいていの覚えることは砕けただよね😅 いつもホストファミリと一緒にこんな感じの日本語を使ったから。あの時はもう10年前も…子供だった 😰😰😰😰😰😰でも大人になったからあまり変わらないよ。それから最近もこんなの日本語をもう使う. tumblrで大丈夫と思う ; ネットで自分の英語も普通じゃないよねww

もう変だと思うけど… 変えることが難しいだ。生活はぜんぜん日本語がいないんだから。

テレビは練習じゃないことが知っているが、多分ドラマを見るがいいかなぁ。僕らの食卓から日本のドラマを見ない…

Had one of those conversations in the laundry room at my apartment today where you start making the most banal small talk comment (it doesn't even have to be about anything particularly dire) you thought possible to a neighbour/bystander and then suddenly they are telling you personal details and polarizing opinions out of nowhere that you realize you definitely didn't need to know but oh boy they sure seem determined to keep talking about it at you.

I made a throwaway jokey comment about french fries I can't even remember exactly what I said. And I got a miniature diatribe about a post they saw on facebook about the nutritional sins of mcdonalds like don't put me on the defensive for fuckin mcdonalds I know they're a terrible corporation but I was just talking about yummy fries let me live.

Wait do you think it's because I'm fat? Were they trying to save my fat ass from wandering towards the glowing golden arches like a moth to a french fried flame? Or do they keep a rant about fast food in their back pocket at all times?

If the former, fuck off; if the latter, sure, I guess? I've got some weird go-to opinionated rants myself. I just don't think I unload them onto strangers with unfathomably scant provocation.

Your blog is the only one I have the notifs on for, so help me god i will NOT be missing the FF update. It's also very funny to see my native language in the middle of a fic, like a little jumpscare lmao

(if you ever need someone to check the polish dialogue for you, i'd be honoured. it's not bad or anything but the syntax is very clearly translate english so it reads a bit clunky. I mean in the most loving way possible btw so sorry if I came across like an ass😅)

Not an ass at all lol I am a dumb single language speaker so I am sorry about the syntax but I was sort of like "I don't want to ask anyone and ruin the joke"

I'd appreciate the help if you're available when I'm writing it or after you read it you can always just shoot me the PROPER POLISH and I'll just update it lol.

Honestly consider this response carte blanche to anyone who wants to send me the not Google Translate of what GS is trying to say.

I'm known to do my research before writing fanfictions but I think I'm reaching all time fucking high this time around <- is learning Spanish grammar to write Roier's bilingual dialogue correctly
