me:
me: do you mean lan zhan?
my mom: yeah probably i don’t know how to pronounce it
me: what do you mean you don’t know how to pronounce it????? wei wuxian literally says it 20 times an episode how how do you not know????
#i am irrationally fed up and instead of taking my frustration out on her i will just tell you all what she just said#her next question was who’s wei wuxian#i have also had difficulty with pronouncing some of the names correctly#jiang cheng is a bit hard for me i feel like i over enunciate and anything with zi- or zhi- is a struggle#and i won’t make excuses for myself i am working to learn the sounds and working to say them better#but by far the easiest most straight forward name in the whole show is lan zhan#we also hear it#as i said to her#20 fucking times an episode#even if you can’t get the zh right that’s no excuse for substituting straight up english words it’s so#it’s so disrespectful#and this is the same woman that tells me she’s super open and progressive i’m just too harsh on her#you’re sooooo open but you can’t even try!!!!! to say their names rigbt#i have also endured the standard racist comments of they all look the same quite a few times#why am i watching this with her again?#oh right i was trying to offer her an activity we can do together that might align with her interests too#because if i don’t offer something she never will and we just exist in silence#and then she complains that i never talk to her#so#ughhhhhh#mdzs
