I choose to do all my stories in english for some reasons, but this doesn't stop me from thinking about what language and accent my characters talk with (for the stories that take place in real world)

Since they all take place where i live, my ocs either talk in reunionese creole or in french, most reunionese understand french well, however people who don't speak reunionese creole can struggle to understand it especially with a strong accent

So i have in mind how all my ocs talk.. maybe i'll make a post about it later

#my relationship with reunionese creole always has been complicated #im half reunionese and despite the 15 years we spent here my mom doesn't talk creole at all #so i can't speak it at home and i don't really speak to anyone else #i use to when i was seeing my father's family but that hasn't been the case since years #and i had my mother and brothers making fun of me for talking in creole when i was 12-13 #which is so fucked up lol #also you don't really have the right to talk in reunionese creole in class #again really fucked up
