#it is a dialect tho

[leafstem]

HI sorry for confusion we're not Turkish, we're Bulgarian and taking Turkish in school (cause one of those languages is a lot easier for a monolingual English speaker in the US to learn than the other haha) 😔

But our phone is like 50% Turkish cause we're nerds and like the language lol

hii!! all good and thats so cool!!!

I think S6 should have Adrien show more of his British side and let him Brit tf out... Mr. Brummie Agreste.

Adrien: "That's bostin, Marinette!'

Marinette: "What?"

Chat noir: "Tara-a-bit, M'lady!"

Ladybug: "What the hell is going on...??"

I've gotta say I'm not a huge fan of putting Dragonese into the HTTYD movie franchise. The concept of a full-on dragon language they all share, that can just easily be translated into English, just really doesn't fit imo

I imagine they're a lot more like Orcas

There are universal ways to communicate with strangers of different species, like it's pretty easy to signal things like "i want to fight you" "i want you to leave" "it's dangerous here" "i'm in pain" etc. by just body language and vocalizations- but ways to communicate more complex ideas have to be developed and learned as unique dialects by different groups, especially flocks of dragons consisting of different species.

I imagine a terrible terror flock or a group of Speed Stingers have a lot of an easier time communicating with each other than a Thunderdrum and a whispering death do.

Dragons with their own dialects, cultures, and habits depending on location and group is really cool- I just don't think it should be a direct translation of how humans do these things, such as straight up language or mythologies or such.

Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P

Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!

my dad asked me what my favourite band is, so i begrudgingly whispered 'will wood and the tapeworms' and then he put it on the family tv

I think for me the thing I struggle with re: saying that the apocalypse is a certainty in the ElysiumVerse™️ is like… idk how to explain it other than for me it’s sort of similar to looking at things through a Doylist vs Watsonian lens even tho that’s not quite it. Yes, Sacred and Terrible Air takes place 22 years after Disco Elysium in the world of Elysium and the world ends. Yes, Disco Elysium makes references to the events/timeline of PJÕL. They are the same canon etc etc. But for me I still always come back to “I need you. You can keep me on this earth. Be vigilant. I love you.” “You could say we believe it because it’s impossible.”

It is literally impossible to argue that the world isn’t going to end which is why I have to believe that there’s a way to prevent it. U know? Because the Pale is the manifestation of nihilist acceleration and the only thing that keeps it at bay is belief in something else. “You are the miracle.” Etc. The only way to save the world is to first operate under the assumption that it can be saved. Be vigilant. Or whatever.

Book recommendation for yall! Found this in the library and checked it out bc I was a curious. It’s a really interesting look at the lives of women in the UK and the lesbian community, and has lots of chunks of stories from the various folks who were interviewed

The stories are very honest and very interesting! It has a lot of different answers to questions such as “how do people conceptualize themselves when they don’t have the language to do so” and is super insightful, I think a lot of it is applicable to non-UK folk as well

If your local library has it, definitely give it a read!

I have crawled out of my mole whole to humbly ask you

but what type of southern accent do you think Twilight has? 🤔

hello thank you for coming out of your mole hole, have a treat :3

uuuuh well so im like Midwest Supreme so my interp for his accent comes from like podunk midwest backwater nowhere XD we're talking towns built around grain elevators where theres more cows than people and you can get snowed in for days if you dont live on a snow route

but usually the Default Southern accent i write for OCs is either like Appalachia or gater rasslin loosianna XD

depends on if i want cowboy or chewing tobacco yknow

i think twi just bc of the goats and pumpkins is probably somewhere in the wyoming or northern colorado range of That Peach in Levis cowboy. like modern twi wears a duck coat and chews on toothpicks and has a stetson hat. or when hes doing ranch work hes wearing coveralls but has the sleeves tied around his waist and a carhartt shirt underneath. and you know his carhartts are just destroyed and patched over and over in the ass. he gives fresh goat milk to the farm cats and the dogs follow him *everywhere*. hes riding draft horses recreationally. epona might be a perchie

imo a lot of people write a Tennessee twi but mostly like knoxville. maybe arkansas? not quite In the Swamp south for a lot of them but more like Mountain South. but not mountain enough to be the kind that sets bear traps for cops yknow. just mountain enough to have anarchist leanings.

People keep getting Miles fucked up cause his speaking Spanish is bad but from his conversations with his mom it seems like he fully understands Spanish, he’s just subpar at speaking it.

Remember he’s not around his mom all the time due to school and Spider-Man stuff, not to mention missing classes for a different Spanish than the one he grew up speaking.

Y’all out here having my boy not knowing how to say high like he still don’t have a B and can talk to his mom.

I just . Repeating "characters are tools" you end up erasing so much about arashi's character and motivations and interactions with other characters if you avoid using her pronouns aka avoid showing she's transgender. It's on the same level of frustration with the translators i had when i saw they had Mika speaking standard English, there's a LOT that gets lost if you don't show those little things.
