anyway the roswell new mexico show is also indescribably funny because i don't think anyone on this show is bilingual at all
#personal#they always have these moments where the hispanic characters mutter to themselves in spanish#but like extendedly and as if they forgot there aren't any people around#like these writers think if you're bilingual it's like Spicy tourette syndrome or smth#like that's not how being bilingual WORKS even if you're currently not speaking your first language#whenever i speak french i don't just randomly spout off in english every once and a while#i THINK in english but i stay speaking french#the most is that you might switch out sentences when speaking to someone with similar language capabilities#like you start a conversation in one language but then eventually you say a sentence in another and then continue on in that way#also they appear to have demanded that everyone who is meant to be hispanic be as obvious with it as possible#(like there's a character named 'rosa' and all the hispanic character do a hard rolling of the r in her name)#(even when speaking in unaccented american english and it is SO jarring)#(but what does one expect from a show that definitely started because the creators got socially conscious about latin american issues)#(for the first time in their entire lives and decided to spin a show around it)#(the creator is literally a friend of julie 'i was inspired to create legacies after the parkland shooting' plec)
