What phrases, pronunciations, or mannerisms did they pick up from someone / somewhere else?

WEIRDLY SPECIFIC BUT HELPFUL CHARACTER BUILDING QUESTIONS

One phrase that comes to mind is “Yea verily”, which she picked up from English speakers around the sixteenth and seventeenth century. She uses a lot of archaic words in every modern language and sometimes switches into an older version of the language she’s speaking, like she sometimes uses words from Old High German instead of modern German. 

To be honest, Azrael probably won’t evolve from them into the true modern lexicon, because she is still an Archangel of the Dark Ages, almost certainly the most antiquated of her siblings in just about every way that matters. That’s why a lot of people call Azrael a relic who is only fit for a museum. Being imprisoned in a sarcophagus for 900 years doesn't give you much of a chance to adjust in the way Uriel or Gabriel were been able to. She just got thrown violently into the twenty first century, when her last memory was of Hierakonpolis in 1099 AD.

Santa is everyone's grandpa and uncle. thebestdecepticonleader at the same time? Me Yes. thenightetc You'd think one of them would be saying, "I wish for parents" Which would be kind of awkward for her Me Her massive pillow looks comfortable. thenightetc gah thenightetc These closeups are not doing the animation any favors Me They just highlight her cataracts. Me FireWOOD. thenightetc "because you're not weakened from years of malnutrition" thenightetc This is such a great plan, really Me This won't end with two frozen child corpses. thenightetc ...So did Santa cause that crash? Me Those drivers will be eating their Christmas dinner through a straw, but THE TREE. thenightetc That tree will outlive them all thenightetc Especially Happy. Me Every single year, I forget that happens. thenightetc Well, *I* forgot that Santa is actually real here and shows up at the end, so Me I think our memories are fighting to keep this movie from sticking. thenightetc well, it IS your fault Me She doesn't seem too concerned that Lilly and Potty are missing. thenightetc Best. Christmas. Ever. Me Better get out your most festive Corpse Handling Gloves, everyone. thenightetc The ones with the fur trim. Me Naturally! thenightetc Oh wow, is the whole town here now?

Old. thenightetc Right? thenightetc Santa in a conspicuously different drawing style Wait. If he's real, where the fuck was he all those years before??

Me Much better. thenightetc me: "gosh, this is nice animat--wait, it's a muppet movie, those are models" Me Shhh. thenightetc "wow, it's really photorealistic!" thenightetc Wait Wait, those melon things are alive?! Are they alive and going to be eaten! Me Three and a half minutes in and the implications are already horrifying! thenightetc Pfffff. Me He knows how to make an entrance. thenightetc Yes thenightetc "there go the townfolk, singing a mean song about me again" Me No wonder he's awful to them. I would be too. thenightetc I admit, it's a bop, though Me So is Little Starbot, but we don't sing about him. Isn't it though? thenightetc "Uh nothing, we weren't singing about you again" ..... thenightetc Ha! I mean, it's awful, but thenightetc Yeesh Me Indeed. thenightetc Haha thenightetc he has no eyes! Zephra85 I'm here! Me Zephra human! Hello! thenightetc Hello! Zephra85 Hi everyone!

Ugh I'm not getting any video on my end? thenightetc It's fine over here Zephra85 Yeah I'm trying to figure it out thenightetc Why was he even carolling there, though I mean, the entire town knows what Scrooge is like Me Why is anyone bothering him? thenightetc They've all memorized a song about how terrible he is! Zephra85 BLAH I can't figure out what's wrong, I'm going to try refreshing the page Me That might help. thenightetc Uh thenightetc Oh my god Me They're chipper about this. thenightetc hahahha thenightetc Ah, so they ARE visiting from hell. Me Oh, that line was creepy. thenightetc Yesss. Me This is all gloriously creepy. thenightetc It is! thenightetc Oh my gosh Hahhaha Me Minicon privilege. thenightetc Any better, Zephra? Zephra85 Well, refreshing only got my keyboard stuck in shortcut mode the whole time so I had to restart my computer, and video STILL isn't working on my end. thenightetc Well, ouch. Me That's odd! thenightetc Have you tried a different browser? It wouldn't work for me in Firefox.... Zephra85 I'm in Chrome, but I'll give Firefox a shot thenightetc No, Firefox was the one it WOULDNT' work in I have to use Opera for it Zephra85 Yeah but I think for me it has to do with my bf's adblockers and stuff? thenightetc Ahhh Zephra85 Which are different from chrome vs firefox alright giving it a shot thenightetc Good luck! She is... eerie Me At the end of the night, she takes his eyes. thenightetc Hey hey hey

Zephra85 WHELP that didn't work. Me The Pit? thenightetc Awwwww. Zephra85 Now Rabbit won't even let me connect to the stream just the chat Me It *sounds* like an adblocker issue. Zephra85 Yeah that's what I'm thinking, my bf's adblockers are a mess and I don't know how to deal with them. (google searching is proving fruitless. ) Me If you'd like to follow along on another tab, I can pause and give you a timestamp. Zephra85 Nah it's alright, I technically didn't really have time to be here anyway? There's a bunch of chores and errands I'm trying to take care of but I decided to try popping in for a stream since I haven't been to one in forever. So I think I'm just gonna jet thenightetc Awwww! Well, good luck Me Well, it's always good to see you, muppets or no muppets! Zephra85 Thanks guys, and thanks for the offer Knock Out! Enjoy the movie, everybody! Zephra85 Say to Breakdown and Impact for me, Knock Out! Me Will do! thenightetc GAH Me Seconded! Me They cut out the song! Not on my watch, you don't! thenightetc They're going to sing? Me And how! thenightetc Man. Me Ouch. thenightetc If the food starts singing........ Me It will be worse than the haunted baby doll ghost. Me Gah! thenightetc Did he just... die? Me That's been happening a lot in this movie. Me I mean, it's not as though it said "Here lies Ebeneezer Scrooge -- He was a great big spike choke." thenightetc Shhhh. Dear Unicron, his dancing. thenightetc It's probably hard to dance in a puppet costume Me Oh, his puppet dance is fine. It's Scrooge's I was talking about. thenightetc Ohhhh thenightetc Is it Scrooge Hahhahaha thenightetc Harsh, but fair. Me This wouldn't make me want to socialize with them. thenightetc Well thenightetc Well. Me Ouch again. Me "Please don't hurt me." thenightetc Right? Me Scrooge, you know exactly where this is going. thenightetc You'd think? thenightetc Ouch. "Might be" thenightetc :< Me Spirit's not dignifying that with a response. Me "Tell me I'll never die!" thenightetc Pfffff Me I mean, it's not as though it said "Here lies Ebeneezer Scrooge -- He was a great big spike choke." thenightetc Shhhh. Me It would be funny if they couldn't do it all in one night and he wakes up on the floor of his house a week later. Covered in filth. thenightetc Haha! Me That needed to start cooking four hours ago. thenightetc Well, it might be morning. Me True. thenightetc ...it's coal thenightetc I mean, I know that's what they asked for, and yet Me He's a little confused, but he's got the spirit. thenightetc ...Really, Scrooge Me This isn't the kind of joke that makes anyone feel better, Scrooge. thenightetc Right? Me "It's funny, because I made you think you were about to be starving and unable to feed your dying son!" thenightetc The punchline is relief! Me Either none of these other people have homes and Christmas plans or they heard that Scrooge is high on the opium and feeling generous. thenightetc I can't argue with that. Me Why is there a snappy pop cover of this? thenightetc He could have just said, "Here's a turkey, and I'm giving you a raise" thenightetc Instead of making it a "prank" Me Got to squeeze in that one last little reminder that Scrooge owns his entire life. Me And that's that! thenightetc Still--overall, good movie! Me Glad you enjoyed it! Me Let me just grab our usual high note, and... thenightetc Pfffff thenightetc Ha! Me Humans are fun. thenightetc WELL but hey at least the top of the tree is reachable now thenightetc Hahahaha Me Dear Unicron. thenightetc ...... Me And that's the note we're going out on, for better or worse. thenightetc Well! I mean, vine compilations tend to be both Me You know, they really do. thenightetc Thank you for the stream, as always : ) Me Thank you for coming, as always! thenightetc And goodnight! Me Good night, night human!
