[Image ID: The Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers 'German politician who got fired on US election night was actually planning to destabilise the German government this whole time. And they called it Project D Day.' to Cas' 'I love you'. /End ID]

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!
the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".
so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.
art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.

Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials
For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen
I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen
To me this is a bread roll:

And this is a bun:

But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:
Tumblr media
Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong

*grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you violently*
Listen to me, Irish spelling is logical and has rules. Your unfamiliarity with our language does not change that.

Yes, it is! That is the sound those letters make! All you're doing is telling me you can't read!

laying in bed, remembering that one of the ways people avoid saying "Scheiße" (shit) after they've already started saying the word is "Schhhheibenkleister" (der Scheibenkleister - the window paste/glue)

All I'm saying is anybody who thinks the Japanese animation industry commits uniquely baffling crimes upon the English language has not properly appreciated what it does to German.
