Y'know what I think Diantha should be trilingual. French, Spanish, English. Spanish being her second language and English being her third. And also fuck it why not make her conversational in Italian

non so se mi piacerebbe, probabilmente non sarebbe una idea buona di farlo in tv, però sto guardando wild blue yonder e la cosa con la cravatta e 15 chi non porta mai lo stesso vestito e chi dice "non sono neanche dottore!" e sto pensando e se non era

25 and/or 38 for an oc of your choice? <3

Hiii ! I'll chose Sigma-El Sangre, known as and sometimes spellt Xangr (or Xgr), my fellow exiled ashlander.

25 : What topic do they know a lot about that is completely useless to the direct plot ?

Well, Xangr hides the true lengths of his knowledge for his own safety. He often assures to appear as someone uncultured because of how easier it makes things for him. Most of the time, he pretends to be a mere dancer from the ashlands, where spelling is a rare skill, or what may look like a sex worker - he thinks that people underestimating him is the best situation he could hope for... But if you talk with him a lot, under many covers and masks, there is an over-enthousiastic autistic goblin. Xangr knows much, about many specific topics. He reads a WHOLE LOT and spended many many years copying books for the Mage Guild then the Worm Cult. He's impressively sharp in everything that touches to Oblivion and/or biology - he loooves telling people about liminality, daedric planes and (un)natural phenomenons, so when there is a safe opportunity, he speaks a lot.

He once met a maormer called Kelondil, with whom, moved by curiosity, he had sexual intercourses. He just HAD to check if maormers, like snakes or sharks, had two penises... and he talks way too much about his discoveries to EVERYONE that slightly mentions the subject. You cannot stop him. He's a master in making people uncomfortable with incessant infodumping when he feels fine somewhere.

Most of the time, it is not helpful, and he can not restrain himself. An other subject he's very found of is clothing/makeup. Xangr is the kind of mer to help you with your eyeliner and giving you tips and explanations while braiding your hair. He just loves taking care of himself, everything he wears is thought and well agenced. It is rarely useful, except a time he helped a young woman to dress as an Altmer and did all her costuming. It was such a nice RP, they're precious friend daysince.

48 : Who would they say "yes" to if invitated to do something they abhorred/strongly didn't want to ?

Depends.

If it is only a matter of taste (Xangr for exemple does not like noble parties), then he can do an exception for someone he sees as precious that would appreciaite his companionship. Those people are rare. He's an extremely peaceful mer. If his presence helps you and you're close enough, for exemple to soothe anxiety like it has been the case few times, Xangr will come with you. He will not enjoy his time, but he will remain calm, keep an eye on you and cheer you up. Just do not ask him to actively be a part of the party, he finds most people to be boring as hell and tolerates badly boredom. Let him stare at flowers, pick his nails, stim with his jewelry, pay respect to his regular need of loneliness then you'll have a loyal friend that would gladly share your pain. If you're doing something you love and are passionate about, Xangr will appreciate your enthousiasm and remain with you. You just have to assure you do not ask more of him he agreed to give, and he'll great you with apparent neverending patience and tenderness. He soothes people, it would not be a first for him.

The other case... Is if he identifies danger wheresoever. You can NOT drag him somewhere he feels even vaguely threatened. He will dodge the Mage Guild bc he fears they may remember him and throw his masquerade away. He fears people may take a guess for his past and flees anytime strangers are too insisting. He does not like to lie, as it is his previous master's main weapon and he tries to change, so he prefers to keep distances anytime he's with too inquisitive souls. If the danger is too palpable...

You won't be able to take him with you. His survival is paramount to him. He will find an escape, and ask of you to NOT mistake this reaction for empty cowardice. It is self preservation. Wisdom. Instinct.

Worst thing about learning a new language of my own violation though is that its made me a fucking nerd. I just found my friend's flashcards on quizlet and got excited. I get excited to hear some french words in everyday conversation. When my friends are reading a book i have to resist the urge to go WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT. Im just super excited to consume french and spanish language and phrases and im a fucking nerd about it now

[woodfrogs]

my last name is ukrainian and a bit weirdly romanized (28 points in english scrabble) so it tends to overwhelm people when they see it but the other day this white guy from BC had to say it. he paused. i internally went oh no. he aced it first try. after completely butchering my first name which is literally a common english name with an e at the end. how

I think I need to get out of this country but thinking about that process is paralyzingly terrifying

MEN IN THE 1980s HARASSING FEMALE COMICS WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!! (below cut: anecdotes from female comedians i adore that made me want to travel back in time and strangle men <3)

The other scary one was the Comedy Store. The boys had played there a lot, but we had never had the nerve... We went onstage to the inevitable shouts of ‘Show us yer tits!’, which we ignored, and proceeded at speed with our sketch. But the shouts got worse and were coming mainly from a large group of men in the corner. ‘Get yer tits out!’ We tried to keep going, but just when I was happy to leave the stage, Dawn marched to the front and looked hard at these men. ‘Will you just shut up! Do you realize how rude you are being? There are people in this audience who actually like to listen. Stop it! Just shut up!'

jennifer saunders, bonkers: my life in laughs

From the minute Fatty and I went onstage at the Comedy Store the very first time, oafish drunkards started shouting, ‘Show us your tits!’ I just couldn't abide the rudeness, Dad. I switched into teacher mode, stepped completely out of the sketch we were attempting, and ordered them to sit down and be quiet. Oddly enough, it worked and we finished our sketch with no further interruptions. However, we did perform it at eight times the usual speed! Maybe it was genuinely better that way.

dawn french, dear fatty

One time, I turned up for a gig at The Comedy Store with my woollen singlet and the sensible, loose trousers. I’d not been on very long when I heard someone in the audience shout “Let’s see your clit!” in a confident sort of way. I wasn’t familiar with the word “clit” at that time, even though by then, I’d lived in a squat and been down the Dordogne in a canoe. I had to say, “I’m so sorry you want to see my… what?” In the end I just said I hadn’t brought it with me that night and hoped I was off the hook. In those days, there was a strip club in the same building, and the clit-seeker may have taken the lift to the wrong floor.

helen lederer, not that i'm bitter: a truly, madly, funny memoir

[About her first stand up set:] Almost the second I set foot on stage someone at the back started to heckle me with the words, ‘Fuck off, you fat cow!’ As it was my first time, I’d assumed that at a benefit people would be nice and I had not considered having to deal with hecklers, so I had no idea what to do. I started to struggle very badly through my prepared material. Quite a lot of people obviously didn’t know what the fuck I was talking about, and my heckler didn’t just stop at one ‘Fuck off, you fat cow!’ He repeated it over and over and over again, until after a couple of minutes I couldn’t take any more and I did fuck off...

... I found myself parrying the normal ‘Fat slag’ and 'Get your tits out’ type heckles. And then one of them got on the table, unzipped his trousers and lobbed out his flaccid penis with the words, “Suck my cock, you fucking bitch!’ Well, I felt this was beyond the call of duty. So at that point, having done my best, I departed the stage and left them to get on with it. I foolishly expected the club owner to sympathise with me a tiny bit, but instead he looked at his watch and ticked me off because I had come off stage three minutes early.

jo brand, look back in hunger: the autobiography

in conclusion: female comics are my heroes and they had to and still have to go through way too much shit. shout out to the ones who paved the way.

It's so cool to be slightly weird and also the sole representative of my country here because everyone thinks the weird things I do are because im french

Im reading through the "how to survive as a maid in a horror game" and realizing that korean uses gender neutral pronouns thats why the translations sometimes get confusing if you use a machine to translate most of it

[wutaijiemei]

by routed thru mandarin i mean i compared different mandarin translations and taigi>mandarin dictionaries and tled that to english so i feel like hopefully somewhere between those things lies a mostly accurate rendering. tho also i think there are some things where i would have done slightly more word for word if i were just posting a tl straight up rather than for subbing purposes where i wanted it to rly still retain its poetic quality rather than simply transmitting the meaning of what was being said T-T

[mxrtified777]

So I'm finally rereading ibv. And Chris and Nevin have Spanish together?? Nevin speaks fluent Spanish. I thought schools usually force you to do another language instead like French or German. Or is Nevin just taking it for less work?

I've never heard of schools doing that before? (some schools only teach 1 language, like mine) but yeah, either nevin is ahead in spanish and is in chris's class because of that, or chris is behind in spanish and is in nevin's classes because of that; theres a few possibilities
