nothing like having an inconsistent regional accent to make you feel like a faker. yeah i have a southern accent kinda technically but it sneaks in through the screen door in the back. it couch surfs. and basically only appears when im talking with people with strong accents. or about accents. or about the south. in a way that makes me seem more suggestible than anything. like i swear im not making fun of you this just happens for like three words and then goes away 💀💀💀

#it's such a goofy thing to get hung up on but im Convinced no one's gonna believe me when it's been an issue exactly zero times #like nobody cares. but i THINK they care #i don't even know if it's an appropriate accent for my part of the south either which doesn't help the faker thing #anyway i realized during my southern lit class yesterday and now doing a reading for said class that it summons my accent #which is very funny. what a funny little bug i am #there is a part of me that kinda hopes it'll stick someday bc there's definitely charm to it #but im worried it could make things like the voice acting pipe dream harder yk #my mom's from the deep south but she doesn't really have a strong accent until she's talking with someone w one so it's. probably normal?#ik accents are funny like that it's just the misinterpretation fear machine making me silly again #but again if it sticks the potential for a southern butch loverboy image would be great. the fans would love that #realizing my aesthetics are too confused. southern butch loverboy in an academic femme goth way. somehow. pls reconcile that yourself thx #anyway it IS a suggestible phenomenon but it's still real
