#in a derry accent??

[onlysanepeoplesleep]

i have the urge to write a Derry Girls aftg AU. Like, Andrew Neil and Kevin are the girls and Aaron is James. I just think it’d be really funny for Aaron to be the wee English fella even though Neil is technically the wee English fella and Aaron and Andrew are both American. I dunno?? I’ve been rewatching the show and I absolutely love it so I might just take the premise of it and add it to aftg? But also I kinda think it’d be funny if Kevin had a Derry accent??? Cause I think that’s funny?? Like imagine???

I don’t even know if I’ll write this but it’s been on my mind for a while so. yeah.

I think my new favourite Marlene McKinnon hc is that she's a derry girl (ive extended the post by @thedeakyamp , and I'll link their post in comments), and that she says Catholic as Cyathlic.

Cuz just, yes.

YES.

I hc her to be a working class Catholic punk girl from Derry (and gets soooo annoyed when English ppl say Londonderry) who does lent. LENT HC GOES SO HARD.

Like, at Hogwarts she's one of the only Irish (nvm Catholic - some other Christian kids but they're like Anglican or Protestant prolly) kids, and has to always explain to her friends why she has to go home to her family at Easter, Christmas and why she does lent. AND ST PATTIES DAY!!!

She's Catholic and lesbian (her family accept her cuz they're lovely) but would talk about the Catholic trauma she has endured (things the church have said that didn't agree with,and the homophobic guilt that certain aspects of the community made her feel), and her friends would js listen because none of them are Irish and they also need to understand what was happening in Derry at the time. She'd also explain what the raa is to them and the religious segregation that was occurring throughout Ireland

She was a wonder, and an educator to the school on issues that affected hardly any of them, but she made them care.

She'd also take them to Ireland after 7th year (Marauders + skittles), and take them to the best pubs (Remus discovered a newfound love for Guinness).

Oh and she'd dress up for St Pattie's day cuz cmon ofc she would.

(Nothing against Irish people or Catholics, my family are both <3)

there's nothing like binging Derry Girls and one minute I'm minding my own business and the next I'm being even slightly inconvenienced and Clare Devlin is in my head yelling "oh my GOD" all of my thoughts are in the accent ffs

Cut together all the scenes of Anthony Boyle as David Donnelly in "Derry Girls" cause I'm hyperfixated on those measly two minutes 🤘😔

It's very choppy, I know

Eddies Maine accent only really comes out when he’s mad. So Richie tries to rile him up as much as possible because he thinks it’s really cute.

HATE when people talk about characters having an accent but they think people from that country only have one accent like yes american character #1278 has a completely individual accent from all the others but this irish character has a "gaelic accent" whatever the fuck that means

[randomfandomss]

I'm watching Derry Girls right now and I'm just constantly thinking about Hozier singing in that accent...

I just can't stop thinking about it

I'm not a sub purist by any means, but I can't bring myself to take a peek at the Gundam 00 dub, because I know that I'm going to have to listen to Lockon Stratos, and I know full well the dub is never going to give him a thick Derry accent like he absolutely deserves.

pinterest Loves to go "Hey . hey fuckwit. we removed one of your pins. it was too gory/sexy/cool for us to handle. Which one was it ? Silly fuckin question. like we'd tell ya." and three hours later it goes "Hey by the way asshole we put the pin back. which pin ? well why don't you mind your own fuckin business aye ?"

It's a real shame my nan didn't develop a Bristolian accent partially because being less classist would be good for her but mainly because I'm fascinated to know what a german-bristolian accent would sound like.

met my friends irish boyfriend last night and he bullied us into doing Irish accents (one of our other friends does it all the time and her accent is truly terrible) and apparently when I try it I have a very specifically derry accent and I just KNOW it’s from my severe 17-year-old overconsumption of Derry girls and I don’t know how to cope with it really 😭😭😭

I’m chatty again!

So, any time I binge watch a series my inner voice picks up the predominant accent spoken on the show, no I never considered myself normal, hahaha. It has changed from Brummie to Australian depending on what I’m feeling in the past.

At the moment, I sound Northern Irish thanks to a day-long binge of Derry Girls. Fuck, or should I say, Feck, I love that show!!

What’s something you do or pick up on after watching a show/movie you really love??! I’d love to know.

[autistic-katara]

just binge rewatched Derry Girls with my dad a few hours ago my inner monologue will not stop sounding Irish 😭
