i don’t think i truly understood cultural appropriation till i saw s5 of the vampire diaries

the season’s evil there are “the travellers” who abduct people’s bodies, are witches (or a variant of witches, idk) and are group-chanting spells in “czech”. now, fistly, for all the comprehension there is they could literally be chanting in ancient greek with zero difference. all their speeches are literally unintelligible. once a main guy dramatically screamed “viď!” to turn a guy into the bodysnatcher traveller and i was honestly impressed by his acting, this was the only time i distinguished a czech word. dude must’ve actually practiced with the google translate reading function - i refuse to believe there was more effort into their “czech” than a random google translate.

also, and this annoys me the most. the leader of the evil bunch is called markos. Markos. the czech version of the name marc is marek. THIS IS NOWHERE NEAR. NOWHERE. it only plays into my ancient greek theory.
