au where kevin taught the foxes french but just didnt fill neil in on that little tidbit bit of information so any time he dropped lore about himself in french all the foxes would have to pretend they didnt understand what neil was saying. (looking at you specifically that one scene in chapter 5) imagine how different the book wouldve been. just a silly little thought

More clothing studies, this time from my fic Axis. I was aiming for authenticity while also trying to have each of their personalities show a little bit in their clothing choices. Two for Nicky, to show his layers.
#tog#the old guard#for reference the fic takes place in 1625 in iceland. i still don't think they're bundled enough though lol.#nicolo di genova#yusuf al kaysani#andromache of scythia#no quynh :(#these were a n i g t m a r e to crop correctly. tumblr why are you like this.#hence the cropping might look a little weird#siggy draws#i think these sketches took a month and a half lol. now i will be quiet about this fic and focus on writing something else.#what do we think about this style? the differently coloured lineart and the slight lighting? and the rough colours?#also i forgot my siggynature on ALL of these but that's ok. you know who i am sdfghf#my new obsession is clothing details i guess!! could always make it more detailed though! with lots of practice i can try.#no real director's commentary on these drawings like i usually write for my sketches asdsfgfd#just that this is mostly what they wear in the fic. add a coat for andy maybe and some mitts for joe.#and more weapons and bags and stuff#can't really see nicky's braids but he's got one big french braid and a few tiny ones on the sides of his head connecting to it.#his hair is like shoulder-blade length. it's about the symbolism!! of not making a change for a long time!! until he does cut it!!#and andy is wearing quynh's necklace under her shirt of course </3#joe rolls his pantaloons above the knee for maximum movement (horseriding) and fashion (gay)#i have a crush on the first nicky sketch like he's so cunty for no reason#well. he's possibly supposed to be having a serious conversation/argument with andy#kudos to the ref picture i used of luca just standing Like That

Oohhh a French speaking AFTG fan!
Can I ask what’s the general opinion on the Marseille accent? What do Canadians think of it? Is it fancy? Or rough?
ouhh what a question anon! i'm tagging @givemethedamnflowers so she can help me out too if u want to <3
also i don't speak for all Franco Canadians / Québécois. fiy. ya know.
as a Québécoise first and foremost (Canadian comes 2nd in how i view my identity), and as someone WHO HAS A MOREAU FROM MARSEILLES in my close family, i love the accent. to me it's somehow much less grating than the Parisian accent (not the international French accent, that one's ok) despite being much more pronounced and how do you say... quirky? not weird, but like it's definitely peculiar. special! i like it a lot. it also makes me love Jean Moreau even more because it adds character, an edge, another area of fondness. i personally think it's very easy to spot, but contrary to the north of France, it's easier to understand.
i would say the most northern accents are much rougher, more difficult to understand than Marseilles or Paris, also because of the disparity in colloquialisms and regional expressions. but i do love them so. Bourgogne?? Normandie?? oh how lovely. and then down down down down south, neighbor to Marseilles, l'Occitanie (a fave)!!! oh and la Corse!!! so so beautiful to me. music to my ears. maybe bc, as Québécoise, like i said, i feel a little kinship with those regions' accents, bc the Paris/Île-de-France spit upon our accents as shitty, ridiculous, "not real French" or generally make fun of us, like we're somehow less smart bc of the way we pronounce things and speak with our accent. in my experience! and trust me, i've had a lottttttt of 'em. so the little scene where Jean keeps being annoyed by Thea calling him 'Paris' when he's from Marseilles? ACCURATE & GOLDEN! made me smile.
that being said, as it has been discussed many many times in the fandom, characters like Neil, Kevin and Jean, and even Andrew and Nicky, have such wild backgrounds, with how much they move around geographically + their mixed heritage, that all of them must have unique accents you can't really pin down. Jean left Marseilles at 14, was homeschooled, then forced to learn Japanese then English, in West Virginia, from native Japanese speakers. he doesn't have the Marseilles slang, the refs; his French is stuck at that level and it can't progress, and he also probably loses a lot of it, breaking down over time. finding his words must be a a nightmare. imagine trying to translate a word that isn't even considered French nor translatable outside of Marseilles' region!!! also, how old were his parents? what generation of slang has he picked up by default? or was he, sadly, taught international French?
SO MANY QUESTIONS! UGH! aftg & languages, French specifically, give me a headache (and heartache) every time.
i would say, watch films and series! please! from every part of the Francophonie around the world! Belgium, Louisiana Cajun, Acadia, Québec, Marseilles, Niger... it's a beautiful language, despite his devastating shameful hand in colonization and racism. the way the people forced to learn and speak it to survive have all found ways to make it theirs in infinite ways that help the language evolve and become richer. French is as much theirs now, if not more. French is much more that than the Republic. French is not Paris.
thank you again anon for allowing me to go off on a tangent, and apologies if there are any mistakes, misinformation or harmful things. please let me know kindly and i'll own to it and correct anything that needs correcting!
#pls don't set a bounty on my head#i'm so sorry for this long ass response#my asks#aftg asks#aftg & french#jean moreau#kevin day#aftg#all for the game#the foxhole court#the sunshine court#neil josten#andrew minyard#nicky hemmick

Some interesting tidbits about district assignments
Each underboss starts with one district, their "home" district, if you will. You get to decide which additional districts they get, but there's some assignments that some underbosses might like more than the others.
Southdowns - Vito/Cassandra
Pedestrian chatter indicate it had a large, if almost exclusive Italian presence before.
Vito comments on having a "favorite diner in Southdowns."
If you assign Cassandra to Southdowns, some pedestrians are concerned about the Italians and Haitians not getting along. Some pedestrians say they're getting along.
Cassandra says, "Laundry Machines, cigarettes and stereos. Southdowns knows how to turn a dollar out of everyday items. This is real good for us."
In contrast, Burke doesn't have anything interesting to say.
Barclay Mills - Cassandra
The other two comment on Barclay Mills being garbage, but Cassandra has dreams of revitalizing Barclay Mills. Curiously, Emmanuel says that that's because "she never has to go there."
Vito and Alma admit to having little experience with trains and factories.
Tickfaw Harbor - Cassandra/Vito/Burke
Emmanuel comments on the harbor being good for the marijuana business, and Cassandra likes it for general import/export.
Vito and Alma mention that the harbor would make their smuggling operation easier.
Burke and Nicki seems to be more interested in the car rackets.
Downtown - Cassandra
Burke and Vito seem more focused on the money while Cassandra's top priority is power and City Hall.
There's the usual talk about rising crime if Burke or Vito get the district, but with Cassandra, people comment on protests and clashes with the police.
Frisco Fields
All the underbosses seem to like Frisco Fields as a way to spite the wealthy, white residents there, and they don't seem too disappointed if they don't get the district.
Alma is a bit surprised if you give Frisco Fields to Vito.
Nicki dislikes Frisco Fields. It might be because she was in their ER once.
French Ward - Cassandra/Burke
Cassandra and Emmanuel mentions taking care of the sex workers there.
Burke likes vice and the rackets but Nicki seems more exasperated because of him.
Vito has little experience with the rackets there, but he seems to want to run it. Alma has no desire to run the sex rackets.
There's also some common themes in the chatter around each underboss's assignment.
Vito: Increased Italian presence, crime, protection rackets. People also comment on increased Italian cuisine. Memorable quote: "Guess what's at every crime scene lately in Frisco Fields? Marinara."
Burke: Increased Irish presence, moonshine, robberies.
Cassandra: Increased Haitian and black presence. The commentary is usually just racist remarks, but black pedestrians comment on increased black businesses and diversity.
#please correct me if i'm wrong!#im basing this off of their lines if they did or didnt get the district#without the in-game context#mafia 3#cassandra mafia#thomas burke#vito scaletta#emmanuel lazare#nicki burke#alma diaz#all in all it seems cassandra has lots of dreams and plans that she needs money and power for#while burke seems to be going through the motions#and vito just sees it as money and business#cassandra and emmanuel are most aligned#vito and alma are next but occasionally vito surprises alma#and obviously burke and nicki are in conflict#or nicki comments more on the history of the district#i am confused that he thought lincoln would give him french ward though#and it's interesting that both vito and burke dont really care about politics

AFTG AU where Katelyn and Neil are half siblings, and Katelyn got left behind with Nathan when Mary ran away with Neil.
Everything on Neil's side is pretty much the same but Katelyn (whose real name is Natasia) is completely different. She was raised by Nathan and Lola so she was trained with knives, life full of pain and cuts and scars and punishment and just ugly. Also, every time Mary and Neil got away from Nathan's men, it was Katelyn who had to bear the consequences, so she grew up quite resentful.
Katelyn —Natasia— may or may not be involved in the investigation that led to Nathan's being in jail. Of course, she refuses completely to cooperate with the FBI investigation and that's why Nathan doesn't suspect her, at all. Once Nathan's in jail, she makes a deal with him —she wants to have a normal life, go to college, live away from Baltimore— and Nathan agrees but he also promises her that once he's out of jail, she'll have to deal with becoming the new Butcher.
So off she goes to Palmetto and everything is great, honestly. Nathan gets more than one year in jail, and it's on her second that Neil arrives and things get shitty....
NEXT PART
#fun facts#they speak Italian#the same way the twins and nicky speak german around the other foxes#Katelyn know german french italian and a lil' bit of spanish#she learn the languages bc Nathan forced her to#“your brother is probably learning you should too”#“show me hes not better than you”#So Katelyn did#aftg#aftg trilogy#neil josten#katelyn aftg#natasia wesninski#aftg headcanon#aftg au#alternative universe#canon divergence#andrew minyard#aaron minyard#nathan wesninski#the butcher#andreil#aaron x katelyn#kataaron

*twirling my hair shyly* A bit random but! I was wondering what headcanons y’all might have about the kiddads (or any characters tbh I’m just kiddad-biased) and second (or third) languages!
#This is of all things about me being convinced that TJ is fluent in french funnily enough#dndads#but the mental image of Lark and Sparrow singing in spanish is also something that can be so personal#dungeons and daddies#I can never remember what is and what isn’t canon ethnicity-wise for the Close boys but for Nick#I’d prolly say either japanese or cantonese- could be swayed to other directions too however#lark oak#sparrow oak#terry jr#lark oak garcia#sparrow oak garcia#nick foster#nick close#nicky freeman#grant wilson#…Grant can read braille and knows asl he’s the cool one#dndads headcanon
