If you’re having trouble picking a language to learn you might want to evaluate why you want to learn a language in the first place

Do you want to do it to connect with your relatives? Because you’re moving to a country where you don’t speak the language? Then you already know what you have to do. Get out there and start watching YouTube videos and bothering your grandma to teach you, silly. Just do it.

If you just want to speak a second language for its own sake and don’t really care what, just pick a language that’s common in your region and/or will help you in your career. These types of languages will likely have local news stations in the language, local people to talk to, local language exchanges, a presence on streaming services in your country, etc. In the US this is almost always gonna be Spanish. Sometimes it might be something like German or Chinese but it’s usually Spanish. I give this suggestion because then your motivation is always staring you right in the face at the library when there’s a whole section you can’t read and motivation can sometimes be the hardest part of language learning. And if there’s a lot of stuff to watch and a lot of people to talk to that can also keep you from getting bored.

If you wanna be quirky or different but still want something easy just pick a language with a lot of speakers that isn’t spoken much near you that preferably also has a large presence online so you can watch and read content in that language. So if you live in the US likely something like Mandarin, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Korean. These languages also have a lot of monolingual speakers so they have a lot of tv, books, and movies made for them and they’re writing in their own language on social media websites.

If you want to learn a dead language decide which ancient culture you’re personally most abnormal about and pick that one. If you’re doing it for spiritual reasons to read a holy book then again you already know what you’re supposed to be doing, silly. Get reading. Find a quirky teacher on YouTube.

If you want to learn an endangered language and/or are interested in language preservation see what endangered languages live near you and if they’re open to outsiders learning them. Local universities often work with minority language groups to make dictionaries and they may have a program locally to help preserve the language you might be able to participate in. If that’s not possible where you live for whatever reason, I’d suggest finding one that you just really like and whose speakers are happy to teach to outsiders. If you’re looking for ones with a lot of resources available to you then something like Hawaiian or one of the Celtic languages would likely be your best bet, but look around. There’s a lot of people out there doing the work to make endangered languages more accessible.

If you wanna play on hard mode then pick a language that’s spoken in a country where almost everyone speaks English because you’ll have to defeat the locals in 1v1 combat before they’ll let you speak to them in their own language. So basically learn a Scandinavian language.

If you want to learn a conlang (why?) then decide which kind of nerds you want to make friends with. If you want to make friends with regular nerds, learn something like elvish or Klingon. If you want to make friends with people that just like conlangs, learn Esperanto. These are generally the most active conlang communities. If you want to just learn a language in a week and only sort of approximately say what you mean then learn toki pona.

If you’ve fallen hard in love with a language then pick that one. It doesn’t matter if it’s impractical or you don’t have a concrete reason. If you know that your love for that language and its culture is enough to keep you going then it’ll keep you going. You’ll find resources if you’re determined enough. Go. Be free.

Anonymous asked: Of all the many languages you speak which is your weakest one? Do you use those languages?

It’s privilege to learn any language that isn’t your mother tongue. As Ludwig Wittgenstein correctly observed, “The limits of my language means the limits of my world”. If English is our native tongue we put ourselves at a disadvantage because we expect every other nationality to take the trouble to speak it. There seems no incentive to learn a foreign language. We become lazy not just in language but also in other ways including our cultural enrichment, our imagination, and a misplaced sense of our self-importance in the world.

Of the European languages I know, I probably think German would be my weakest. When I was in school in Switzerland you’re brought up in three languages: French, Italian, and German (even if the Swiss speak Swiss German). When I say weakest I mean I can converse fluently, but I don’t have time to read German literature in the same immersive way I would say with French literature or take any special interest in German affairs.

I would say I’m fairly fluent in French now but still prone to silly mistakes. I’ve been told that I can speak without an accent and that is heart warming to know, because that was always the goal once I moved here to France. I don’t really use French in my work as it’s a multi-national entity and so English is the default language of corporate world, but I’m speaking French pretty much the rest of the time outside of work.

I was extremely fortunate to be born into a multi-lingual family where Norwegian and English were spoken from birth. All my siblings were being versed in Latin (not Greek which came years later after doing Classics at university) by the time I was 8 or 9 years old because my father was a classicist and he felt Latin was the building blocks to mastering other languages.

All this occurring whilst we moved lived and moved around a lot in the world such as China, Japan, India, and the Middle East. When I was initially sent to one of the first of my English girls boarding schools I was horrified that most of the girls only spoke English. I thought I was the stupid one for only knowing 6. Boarding school, if nothing else, gave me a great privilege to hone in on the languages I did know and start to learn others.

My parents didn’t take the easy way out and put us children in international schools like all the other expat children. That would have been too easy given how tight knit the British expatriate community was out there. Instead we were left to sink or swim in local schools in places like Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan or Shanghai in China or in Delhi, India. It was a struggle but you soon find your feet and you stumble towards some basic level of fluency.

I’m fortunate that before Covid my corporate work took me often to the Far East and it was a great opportunity to hone what I already knew. The result is I can converse and take business meetings in Chinese and Japanese (though English gets thrown into the mix too).

I would say Chinese is more of a struggle for me these days because I’ve not been back since before the Covid lockdown in 2020. Chinese is one of those languages that can easily melt away if you don’t get the chance to converse in it on a regular basis. Japanese less so, probably because the culture had more profound impact on me than Chinese culture.

Hindi is less of an issue because I have close Indian friends and also I watch Bollywood movies as well as converse with Indian immigrants here in Paris who have local stores. Urdu I learned through the backdoor because Urdu has a spoken affinity with Hindi (if you know Hindi then you know spoken Urdu, more or less, especially in Northern India and cities like Delhi where Urdu was born in the burnt ashes of Mughal India). Reading is another matter because they each use different scripts - Sanskrit for Hindi and Arabic and Persian script for Urdu.

Strangely enough when I was doing my tour in Afghanistan years ago with the British army, I would speak Urdu with local Afghans who served as official translators or were selling goods on the base. These Afghans knew Urdu because an entire generation of Afghan boys and girls grew up in refugee camps on the Pakistani border during the different phases of the Afghan war. I have very fond memories of their friendship and hospitality, but less so of the war itself. 

With Arabic, it had lapsed woefully until I did a posting in Dubai in the past year (as catalogued in my blog) and I found myself suddenly remembering a lot and asking Arab friends. Soon I was able to hold my own amongst my colleagues and corporate clients. In these cultures it’s really hard to stay focused because so many of them speak very good English. So it’s hard to get them to stick with their own language because you want to learn from them - but they want to show off their English proficiency - and so you have to be polite but persistent to stick with Arabic.  

If you’re learning a new language then I hope you stick with it. There’s almost nothing more rewarding in your life than the disocovery a rich culture through language. The key is to find a way to make it fun rather than a trip to the dentist chair for a root canal operation.

Thanks for your question.

Of weekends and things in betweeen...

The thing with having your own place is that when it's hot and humid, you simply run the airconditioner and walk around your unit, naked. of course, I had the drapes spread across less a snooty neighbor from the other building report me for exposing myself.

Saturday came and like any struggling adult out there, it meant errands. But first, lunch. Again, we should normalize and respect people who eat their meals alone. Period.

I went to Watami to satisfy my sashimi cravings and boy, it was a bit expensive. although hindi naman sya Wolfgangs or Antonios young pricing, still it was mahal (sorry na) I ordered a plate of their salmon which was really good mind you (because of the taba) and paired it with ebi tempura which failed my expectations given the price lol.

After lunch, i went to my favorite barber shop for a haircut and had a pedicure. the barber did wonders and the post-cut massage was a welcome relief. manang rose who does my toenails knows I hate the feeling of nail files swiping and applying gamot na pula to make one's feet look rosy red. they know my peculiarities well and i both gave them hefty tips after. done with pampering i did groceries to replenish my pantry. as you can see, if you reach my age, CheezWhiz is essential and so are sulfur soaps to thoroughly wash off bacteria, and yes, a little bit of alcohol wont hurt. the rest of my cart are the usual staples.

the rest of the afternoon was spent solitary with me playing some video games only to realize that my Switch controller is probably busted as the left trigger does not seem to function as it should.

by 5pm i decided to leave the city and be at my parent's house for the weekend. i missed them especially my adopted siblings who now call me "ahiya" which is "elder" brother in Chinese.

early dinner, done. the rest of the family decided to watch The House of Dragons and Piolo Pascual's Mallari since my kuya lent us his projector to give that cinema effect (since we are still scared shit to go to the movies lol) I sat down for a couple of minutes but left since I was already sleepy.

by 10pm, i was roused from sleep thanks to the incessant calls made by Carla. She is asking demanding that I be her plus one (+1) at Francos and I was like "gaga ka ba, galing na ako ng Makati kanina tapos babalik ulet ako?" Too late, she was already parked at our gate and gave me ten minutes to change into a fresh shirt.

of course, being the supportive friend i obliged with the condition that I would sleep during the drive. Thankfully, JanJan was in the passenger seat to keep Carla company because I was way too tired to talk.

Yun pala, the plus 1 was made up for me to meet the guy they introduced me the other night. Carla's real plus one was JanJan pala.

guy: oh you're here!

me: yeah, small world no?

guy: Carla invited me. she said you wanted to see me...

me: uh yeah (liar) i wanted you to join us (liar)

we joined the rest and listened to the ongoing conversation which was mostly payabangan stuff between balding guys in their thirties with the belief that their new vehicles are extensions of their dicks to entice girls.

i am not having that shit down on my throat that night so I excused myself to smoke outside. and surprise, the new guy followed...

guy: bored ka no?

me: sorry I am really sleepy....and the convo

guy. i know. full of shit lol. do you want to go somewhere else?

me: are we having sex? sorry di ko kaya pagod ako sobra.

guy: you are really weird in funny way, jopet.

and so that was how my Saturday night came to an end. Me having a nice chat with this new friend over balut, chicharon, and coke zero at the parking lot.

hours passed and with Carla not showing any signs of wanting to go home, I decided to go ahead and book a grab car (deadma na sa 1 thousand pesos na rate) but the new guy was kind enough to offer me a ride tutal we live in the same village din.

so that was my Saturday...that crossed over to Sunday.

Thinking about polyglot Luigi.

Luigi who grows up fluent in English and Italian, yet also picks up words and phrases from the other immigrant families in his neighborhood. Becoming an appreciator of languages and their beauty and complexity.

Choosing Spanish as a class in high school. It has a similar structure to Italian so he learns it rather quickly, easily keeping up in conversations with native speakers. One of the cashiers at the local grocers speaks Portuguese, and he realizes it’s also alike to Italian and Spanish, so he starts learning that too. The cashier is touched and gives him advice and new words whenever he stops by.

He and Mario were into Japanese anime when they were younger, and he’d make the connections between the subtitles and the audio for a while until he started to teach himself properly. While not necessarily too similar, Chinese and Korean came as a natural response. Luigi’s a little nervous trying it out with the neighbors, but they’re impressed at his dedication and assist him as well.

Luigi would get sucked into a language for little to no reason sometimes. Heard a pretty song in French; learn it. Accidentally set a movie’s language to Swedish and didn’t change it; learn it. Friend wanted a buddy to try Arabic together; learn it. Saw a Hindi vocabulary book on sale one day; learn it.

Some languages would stick more than others due to lack of use or resources, but he makes the effort to retain what he does know. Writing notes to himself in Portuguese, quietly insulting people in Arabic, etc. When he’s not with Mario or reading up on plumbing, mechanics or engineering, he’s sprawled out over a language book—mumbling words, highlighting important notes, writing his own examples on the side.

It’s a talent that persists in the Mushroom Kingdom. At a large multi-kingdom event, he’s drawn in by the sounds. Such unique and glorious voices he doesn’t know what to focus on. The sharp and guttural color of the Koopas? The flowing and musical tone coming from the Beanbean group? The staccato and bright sound of the Sarasaland representative? It’s nearly heaven for him.

Luigi spends a lot of time scouring for texts of their language or even writing to their rulers and asking for books himself. They’re all more than happy to oblige, some even setting him up with tutors. He takes to them just as easily as languages from Earth, and it doesn’t take long before he’s endearing himself to the natives with his knowledge of their tongue. It definitely helps him and Mario out a lot on journeys where people may not be as well versed on the common language throughout the worlds.

While he does have his own bookshelf of his own personal collection, Peach decided to invest in a section of the local library dedication to language learning. He loves it. Luigi himself assists with deciding what to choose and which books would be the most useful. He even teaches some of the toads when he gets the chance to.

TLDR; Just, Luigi knowing a bunch of languages and people adoring him for it.

“The vet was a young, sweet man. Definitely Jewish, which is something I care about only in times of crisis.” - Lena Dunham, A Box of Puppies article.

“ Yellowish Fever: I know I said I could never imagine a Japanese affair, but I’ve changed my mind. Kazu, the art handler hanging my mom’s show, is gorgeous like the strong, sexy, dreadlocked Mongol in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (causing my sister to email the instruction: “Yeah, girl. crouch that tiger, hide that dragon. P.S. That’s a Chinese movie”)” - Lena Dunham

Just read her articles. They’re all either antisemitic, Islamophobic, orientalist, or all three.

That tiny little thing where her entire damn TV show has no POC in it

POC cast in Girls (her HBO show) play only “the help”, random people:

Sidné Anderson as “Jamaican Nanny”

Jermel Howard as “Young Black Guy”

Moe Hindi as “Roosevelt Hotel Bellhop”

Jo Yang as “Tibetan Nanny”

The time she added a black actor ,Donald Glover, for a couple episodes, during which she accused his character of fetishizing her as a white woman, and declaring that she “doesn’t see race” and “doesn’t see him as black”. Pro tip: erasing people’s identities and experiences is still racist.

There is so much more.

LoZ: TotK - Sky Island Fruit

I wonder what Fire Fruit, Ice Fruit, Dazzle Fruit, & Splash Fruit taste like.

I'm pretty sure we all know that Shock Fruit tastes like lemon. No, Starry or Ghost Citrus! And I think it'd tingle on the tongue like pop rocks, but what about the rest?

For the sake of worldbuilding, I need to figure this out.

Guaranteed, Splash Fruit is juicy af. Like, watermelon juicy. Maybe it tastes like a combination of apples soaked in white grape juice & white grapes soaked in lemon juice. It's the relative shape & color of a calabash, so it has a slightly bitter edge to it & a scent of squash & coconut water. - I've sort of renamed it in my head to Calasplash.

Fire Fruit are inspired by uchuva, Chinese lantern fruits, a/o cape gooseberries, so they'd likely taste like them too. So, sweet, yet tart & tangy when ripe, but sour when not. Possibly has a flavor profile a bit like spiced mandarin oranges, tomatoes, & cherries. The fruit has a similar texture to a cherry tomato. I do also think that if you were to remove the lattice leaf protecting the fruit inside & tear the actual fruit open, the juice that'd spill out would be on fire. Just liquid fire or napalm, but edible. I remember in the Wrinkle in Time movie that Disney did (the 2004 one, not the remake), Mrs. Whatsit pries open a fig-looking fruit (I think) to spill its contents on a bundle of wood, the juice was on fire, which starts the wood on fire. That's sort of what I think it'd be like. The juice would also sizzle on your tongue but wouldn't burn. Instead, it's pleasantly hot. Not warm, hot. Like a hot bath or a hearth. - Named it Fuegochuvá.

Ice Fruit, I just learned, might be in some way inspired by the ice apple. Which, the heck?? Why am I only just learning about this mess??? But whatever; they'd likely take cues from that. So, Ice Fruit would actually be legitimately transparent to a degree. Known to be mildly sweet, often compared to the flavor of coconut. Their flesh has been described as jelly-like in consistency & biting into the center results in a burst of sugary-sweet juice. - Beyond that, I'd make them actually cold & refreshing, they are mildly sweet & per a really good suggestion I got, they'd taste like champaign grapes, but also a little bit like white grapes with a hint of Palm Fruit (as noted above). Their flesh would be gelatinous with a thin skin like a frost bubble (think a dry ice bubble used in mixology). And, because I wanna insert a tiny bit of wonder into this, you can literally do that breathing frost thing that you can do when it's really cold, but at any time of year or temperature every time you take a sip. Kids & grown-up children (gestures to oneself) would most likely love them. - Also, evidently, if you get a cooler, put any sort of small fruit inside with some dry ice for 20 minutes, then the dry ice sublimates, the fruit absorbs it, & you'll get a type of carbonated frozen fruit! I'm thinking to find one that I can use to add onto the flavor profile of the Ice Fruit. It just seems like too "cool" of an idea to pass up. Problem is, I'm not quite sure what kind of words to use to describe it in a more "literary" way yet.

For a bit more information on these IRL ice apples (Borassus flabellifer), it's a tropical fruit that grows on sugar palm trees in India. The ice apple is also known as Tadgola in Marathi & Hindi, & Nungu in Tamil. They are found inside a coconut-like fruit that grows on sugar palm trees & acts as a coolant. They are fleshy & transparent with yellowish jelly-like flesh & a slightly square-ish shape. - So, now it's Frostangola.

I'm still not sure what Dazzlefruit would taste like, though. And no clue what it's inspired by. It'd probably have a bright, light flavor, hmm?? Still no clue, but they look a little like guanabanas, so I might use that. - It's a Dazzlebana.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

[purplesimmer455]

Kiran invited their friends Emily and Hamuera over after school that day. Kiran’s parents asked if they were siblings, and Emily smiled before saying Hamuera was her cousin but she and her moms live together with him and his moms and sister. “Oh wow, so a joint family situation?” Rani asked, and Emily nodded. “It’s chaotic but fun.” She said. “I can imagine.” Arjun said with a smile. “I lived with my parents, my dadi, dada, (paternal grandparents), uncle, and his son. It was hectic but a lot of fun growing up.” Emily nodded. Rani was pleasantly surprised when Emily admitted she knew some basic Hindi. "My siblings Safiya and Amir are part Chinese from our mom's side and part Indian from their amma's side." She said. "What about your other mom?" She asked. Kiran nudged their mom playfully and said. "Amma, buss(enough)." But Emily waved smiled. "It's all good, Kiran. For my mama Tess, she's part Greek, Pakistani, Black Simerican, Korean, and Simlish." Rani nodded.

Kiran then took Hamuera and Emily to the local theater and they watched Packs and Prejudice, a werewolf romance movie. Hamuera sat between them, joking he was a chaperone for the two of them since they're too young to go on dates alone, and Emily blushed and swatted his arm playfully as Kiran blushed too. Hamuera then took Emily home while Kiran's dad picked them up. Kiran wasn't too sleepy, and it was a weekend so they made a breakfast burrito in the microwave and ate it while watching a cooking show.

dc superhero girls headcanons

hey there if you found this post, that must you really like this show and i do to

i have hyper fixated and maladaptive dreaming about this show since it came out (so like 4 years i need a life lol) so i have a lot of headcanons but some of them are so wacked that they dont make sense, so i will only put the ones that make sense and ill keep adding as time goes on, oh, and another thing to note is that i know nothing about the dc universe other than this show so idk

(also if you dont know what a headcanon is, its like something about a show or a movie or a book is canon or confirmed in your head but not in the actual show or movie or book or whatever, hope that makes sense)

~ kara is an alien (which makes sense cuz she is from another planet so she technically is)

~ since kara is from another planet, english probably doesnt exist there and the language of her planet probably different from all the other languages on earth so it would make it really hard for her to learn english, what im basically saying is that english isnt her first language

~ kara probably got some sort of ptsd from the hole she was stuck in for a bunch of years or what ever it was i think its the phantom zone but idk anything about that sooo, and on top of that she lost her mother and her home so that would make a source of her anger and emotional problems

welp these are the only ones that i have thought about and/or fucked or not relevant or about people gender and sexuality wise but its not my job to label people thats their job but i could add those idk (but ignore the label i just put on kara about her mental state shhh its an idea remember shhhh)

edit 2

ok i thought of more shit

also a lot of these are going to be about kara because shes the one i decided to latch onto 4 years ago so yeah

~ i find it really weird that the names on kryton are similar to the names on earth cuz like i said they are different planets so things would be totally different like the language and stuff, but for some reason the names are very english like kara, clark, laura (whatever the aunts name is) but names like zod and non arent traditional english names. so my headcanon is that kara and her cousin either chose or were given those names to be normal ig

~ zees mother probably cared about her a lot and she probably had a reason for leaving but her father keeps its from her

edit 3

i forgot to finish last edit oops

~ karen is more angst than she makes it out to be and kara is more sweet and innocent than she makes it out to be

~ being queer on kryton is like totally normalized

~ kara find babs absolutely beautiful, like not shes attracted to her or has a crush on her or anything, she just finds her extremely aesthetically pleasing to look at (no i dont ship these two, thats fine if you do tho)

~ kara is kinda the mom friend to garth, karen, and babs

~ kara doesnt know how old she is or when her birthday is cuz all planets rotate and revolve differently so i would think that years would be different there, i would think she is probably around 16 to 19, also wouldnt she be like older is she didnt go to the hole or whatever, idk the whole story about that

~ diana once asked kara to teach her krytonian so that kara would have someone to talk to (which is so sweet when i think about it), but its like really hard and it took kara forever to learn english and she is still learning it, but kara loved the offer

~ diana speaks a lot of languages (which im pretty sure is canon), she speaks greek (cuz shes from there), english (you know), (these are the most spoken languages of the world, according to google) mandarin chinese, hindi, spanish, french, arabic, russian, portuguese, german, hebrew, latin, and she is learning japanese so she can talk to tatsu (damn girl idk how she does it, miss try hard)

edit 4

so i know its been a while cuz ive been lazy lol

i also only have a few today

~ kara actually has a good singing voice, but she never portrays it

~ kara is also very musically talented and dabbles in many musical instruments

~ also kara is much more intelligent than she portrays, she just sucks at english and earth stuff (idk if i said this before)

LANGUAGES I WANT TO LEARN

- Japanese

It makes sense to me that every Korean learner learns Japanese. Not only that, I’m a huge fan of J-rock. Something about the Japanese language and those guitars and drums and the artist screaming just makes my ears feel blessed. I used to be a really big anime fan (I’m trying to get back into it so I can actually finish HxH) but now I prefer J-dramas.

- Thai

Thai is one of my favorite Asian languages. It’s so beautiful and I absolutely love Thai music (especially Thai hiphop). Thai dramas and horror movies are some of my favorite things to watch, too. (I literally love Girl from Nowhere)

- Portuguese

Portuguese has been on my list of languages since I started learning Spanish. If I do learn it, I’d probably go for Brazilian Portuguese rather than European Portuguese. I love the way Brazilian Portuguese sounds!

- Mandarin

I wanted to learn Mandarin before Korean but I couldn’t really find any motivations for it. However, now I really want to learn it because I would love to travel to China one day. Chinese landscape and culture are absolutely astonishingly beautiful.

- Romanian

I honestly don’t know much about Romanian, but I’ve heard it being spoken so much and I absolutely love how it sounds. It just seems interesting to learn.

- Greek

I have a couple friends from Greece and sometimes i see them speaking Greek to each other and it’s so fascinating. The language is literally amazing and don’t get me started on how much I love the writing system 🙏

- Filipino/Tagalog

I have a Filipino aunt, she’s not my blood aunt but I would love to connect to some of my family by learning their languages. I also just love the Philippines and it’s my dream to go visit one day.

- German???

German has always somewhat interested me, I put the question marks because I’m not totally sure if I want to learn German or not. It would be a fun experience but I don’t know of any motivations… and it’s hard for me to get going without having a motivation… 😓

- Polish???

I tried learning Polish on Duolingo (not the best idea), but I was obsessed with Polish music and this Polish singer, sanah. I think Polish is one of my favorite slavic languages but similar to German, I’m not sure if there’s anything to keep me motivated to learn Polish.

- Arabic

I mean have you seen the writing system???? It’s so intriguing there’s no way I can’t learn Arabic. The way it’s spoken is so pretty too.. I love this language so much.

- Hindi

I feel similarly to Hindi as I do to Arabic. Indian culture is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve said this a lot, but I love how Hindi sounds, too. I think I’ve set in stone that I want to learn Hindi and I’ll probably learn it after Mandarin and Thai.

I know I talked a lot about motivations in this post, but please remember that learning a new language isn’t all about being motivated. Obviously motivation helps, but discipline helps even more. Always remember to have self discipline or you won’t hardly be able to do anything such as learning another language.

Personally, I need motivation to begin a language, not keep up with it.

안녕!!!!

Theoretical Alphabet Apprentices Part 1

So I thought about making a Wammy's House apprentice for every unused letter and finally did it. I have not consumed any other Death Note media besides the manga as of writing this, so none of these characters are related to anything that happens in the dramas, movies, etc. I may use these OCs in a fic at some point.

G's real name is Gilbert Reinders. He is Frisian and was born in Germany. He speaks German, Frisian, English, and Dutch. He is learning French. His birthday is November 5, 1986.

He is 5'8 in height. His hair is blonde and he has light blue eyes. He hates bullying and will defend others. He is pretty strong.

His mother gave him up after her boyfriend left her, unwilling and unable to take care of him. After spending three years in foster care, he was brought to Wammy's when he was 8. He is very reserved and studious. He excels at mathematics.

He stays in the reformed program despite not caring about being a detective because he doesn't know what he wants to do. Others have suggested that he become an architect because he likes talking about architecture. As of pre-timeskip Death Note, he is 17-18.

H's real name is Hezar Baran. She is Kurdish and was born in Iran. She speaks Kurdish, Farsi, and English. Her birthday is December 4, 1990.

She is 5'1 and half in height. She has tan skin, dark brown hair, and amber eyes. She likes to dance and stretch, so she is fairly athletic.

Her parents were killed during a terrorist attack when she was 10. She spent a year in an orphanage before being taken to Wammy's after he visited Iran and saw her. She loves tinkering with machines and fixing things. She quit the reformed program to study robotics.

She is a Sunni Muslim and enjoys debating theology with others regardless of what they believe. She hates extremists from any religion because her parents lost their lives due to extremism. She wears a headscarf but chooses not to cover her face. As of pre-timeskip Death Note, she is 13-14.

I's real name is Izhi Huapaya. She is a Quechua native from Peru. Her first name apparently means "fog, mist". She speaks Quechua, Spanish, and English. Her birthday is September 27, 1989.

She is 5'2 in height. She has tan skin, brown hair, and hazel eyes from a Spanish-descended relative. She is very stealthy.

Her parents gave her away to her uncle when she was 4 because they could not afford to feed her and themselves. He died six years later due to cancer. She was 12 when Wammy visited her orphanage in Peru and took her to England. She is polite and quiet. Her listening and information gathering skills are top notch. She has no intention of quitting the Successor Program because she wants to be a detective or a spy.

She is Catholic but mixes several of her people's tribal traditions into her beliefs. She is terrified of birds, citing that their beaks and beady eyes are unnerving. As of pre-timeskip Death Note, she is 14-15.

J's real name is Jayesh Sharma. He was born in India. He is the son of an Indian man and a white American woman. He speaks Hindi, English, Chinese, and Japanese. His birthday is November 15, 1985.

He is 5'8 and three quarters. He has tan skin, black hair, and his mother's blue eyes. He is learning martial arts and wants to be a pro.

His parents were shunned in the village that they lived in because they were not married. Eventually they were forced to give him to the local orphanage by the townsfolk. He was bullied for being biracial. Wammy visited India when he was 9 and took him to England. He is friendly to everyone he meets and never taunts anyone.

While he doesn't want to be a detective, he stays in the program to learn as much as he can about it. He genuinely enjoys hearing about L's cases. As of pre-timeskip Death Note, he is 18-19.

How the fudge do I even begin talking about this movie? I kept seeing that this movie was amazing, and so I figured I’d try watching it while it was on Netflix. And let’s be straightforward here, it IS amazing, but it’s also insane to think about.

So I don’t know how to start, but I’m going to give it a try.

RRR is an Indian film in Telugu (though Netflix doesn’t have it in that language) featuring real-life Indian heroes Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem as best friends fighting against the British Raj in the 1920’s. Director S.S. Rajamouli wondered what it would be like if the two of them knew each other, and fought together in their efforts to make India independent of the English. The result is an action movie with such amazing and ridiculous over-the-top action sequences (including a dance number!) which cares less about historical accuracy and more about making the most awesome movie imaginable.

And it works???

I’ve been turning this over in my head days after I saw it, because let’s face it: this is nationalist propaganda. I’m trying to figure out why this doesn’t bother me as much as something like Ip Man, which is also transparently nationalist propaganda–part of the Plot of that movie is proving that a Chinese martial art is better than a Japanese martial art. That’s a bit excusable in that instance because it takes place in World War II and the Japanese were not kind to the people they colonized. But it felt really off that the movie’s ending implies that China defeated Japan on their own (they very much didn’t) and China today is more and more happy to oppress its people in pursuing its own nationalist agenda.

[Also Ip Man is still a pretty good movie overall so don’t take this as me hating that movie. But I have problems with it.]

Which is not to say that Indian nationalism can’t be problematic! Oh, it can. But this movie is less ‘We’re better than the colonizer nation’ as much as “We’re awesome, they shouldn’t be oppressing us, we’re not taking credit for winning wars we didn’t win.” Also, it’s worth noting that the Koh-i-Noor is still a part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.

It’s also worth noting that while both Ip Man and RRR are about real-life historical figures, it’s not as if you’ll watch RRR and think of it as being remotely accurate to the true history of things. Look, when characters are able to punch out tigers, I like to think that the audience can realize that some artistic liberties have been taken.

Or maybe I’m just massively overthinking this. It is a movie in which one of the characters is introduced hunting a tiger by leading a wolf to it.

This is a three-hour film, but you are not going to get bored with it. Yes, there are scenes that are not over-the-top action scenes, but they’re all interesting. I wouldn’t say that everything is overdramatic, because that implies something like a tedious soap opera drama. But it is definitely playing into a style of storytelling that plays up the dramatic elements to ensure that every single scene is memorable.

It’s a big, loud, action movie, and its battle scenes are utterly ridiculous in many ways. Raju and Bheem are each a one man army that can curb stomp any enemies that come up against them with very little effort. It’s absurd but it’s oddly satisfying to watch. If you’re a fan of those kinds of fight scenes you’ll find a lot to like here. If you haven’t been exposed to it, you may find yourself becoming a fan.

It’s just darn, fun, man! Which is odd to expect in a movie about fighting colonialism. Maybe that’s more common in India, but in the US our movies tend to make those things into much darker films.

Like I said, there is no way on Netflix to watch it in the original language. It’s also weird because the English character speak in English, but the subtitles don’t always exactly match their dialogue? Maybe that’s something about the Hindi dub, which is what I watched.

There was also a notice before the film began that almost all of the animals in the movie are CGI. It’s pretty obvious with some of them, like the wolves and the tigers. That doesn’t bother me too much, because it seems like making realistic animals was not always the goal–this is a mythic story, so of course the creatures are larger than life.

If you can accept an upbeat, turned-up-to-eleven, three-hour action film in which two Indian bros loosely based off of real-life heroes fight English imperialism, you’ll love this movie. If you can’t, then you might see this movie as too silly for its own good. But once you get into it, it’s loads of fun and an unforgettable film.
