Legit going on a tangent about rich/privilege people:

Stop trying to be “better”, you’re currently stealing resources from those who really need it.

Like by all means keep seeing your therapist and going to your classes, but stop spoiling your children.

I am cringing that all the multi-language people are being used up for “advanced classes”, meanwhile good students are struggling because the English development classes don’t have enough QUALIFIED teachers to help all the students.

Everyone has a right to a quality education. When you’re rich/privileged, you’re already getting that.

Unkind reminder that a lot of riches/privileges at this current time are being hoarded by the rich and privileged.

Trickle down economics was a lie.

Don't make fun of any accents, ever, for any reason.

The person on the receiving end will most likely fall in at least one of three categories:

Second language

Regional accent

Speech impediment

1. Second language

This person is probably speaking in this language to you because either you don't speak their mother tongue or you speak it worse than they speak the language you are speaking. They are making an effort for you. An accent doesn't make you dumb.

Making fun of someone for attempting to communicate in another language is the height of assholery.

2. Regional accent

Half the time you make fun of regional accents, you make fun of historically disenfranchised accents.

Southern accents? Congrats you're making fun of the way rural, usually poor, people speak. Their speech was highly influenced by black people.

Don't even get me started on making fun of AAE.

Again, an accent doesn't make you any less intelligent.

3. Speech impediment

They know they have a speech impediment. They are probably trying very hard not to sound like that. It is literally not their fault. They have had to deal with people making fun of it their whole life.

A speech impediment doesn't make you less intelligent either.

Grievous Insult.

Comic inspired by this doodle:

I read the tooltip of the talent and now I'm fairly sure Justice knows how to insult in multiple languages courtesy of his "helpful" fellow Wardens. 😅 Warden-Commander Marzel was horrified.

I love it when bi-lingual characters translate themselves for me, like, you are going to say the thing in another language and then repeat the jest of it again in English for us mono-linguals? Thank you!

You are going to think about the meaning of the words, or provide substantial context clues for me to understand what was said? I don't have to go find a crappy online translator to follow what's happening? I love you!

You're going to translate what someone else said in another language by sassing them with their own words but translated? Excuse me, I think there's a ring in my pocket for you!

"Beast" Language in Kirby

This idea came about via a Twitter conversation about Leongar (who is actually a good character, y'all! Don't be mean to the Beast Pack!)

So, Leongar speaks "Beast" as all the members of the Beast Pack do. When Fecto Forgo decided "this is my guy" he gave Leongar the gift of "human speech." Speech he didn't give the rest of the Beast Pack, who continued to talk to each other in meows, growls, and...whatever noises armadillos make? One of the first interesting concepts to emerge from this discussion of language was, did he keep those abilities even after Fecty's loss? Does Leon ever get frustrated or tired and begin roaring Earth invectives in "human-ese?"

(Does he know the lyrics to "Welcome to the New World?" XD )

But perhaps even more interesting, just going by character popularity (XD) King Dedede worked with the Beast Pack for... a while. We don't know how long he was in the Forgotten Land but the Waddle Dees had time to set up a whole town - twice. Does this mean King Dedede can now speak fluent "Beast?" ...Or could he ALWAYS speak fluent beast? (The language of his people, long ago?)

Sorry, sorry! Dess loves the "baby penguin walked through a random rift one day and ended up in Dream Land" theory! >w<

And Daroach! (You knew I was going to bring the rat in.) The reason I bring up Daroach is quite simply because of "the squeaks." Not The Squeaks, his band of thieves. I mean the squeaking noises he makes!

Daroach "talks" in squeaks. You can hear it by putting on his dress-up mask. It's identical in practice to Clawroline's meows! (O-Of course, if one were to follow that logic off a cliff, it would mean Adeleine talks in "Sparkle-ese" but maybe that's what "human" sounds like to Kirby and the gang without the benefit of Lab Discovera and Fecto Forgo's "automatic galactic translation" feature/abilities!)

Again, I can't help but think that Daroach has ties to the Forgotten Land. And interestingly, if he and Meta Knight get along so well in extended media :cough cough: does Meta Knight ALSO speak "beast?" Has he studied it? Enough for basic comprehension?...

His obsession with books even in game canon means knowing a few unusual languages is not beyond him. (Plus I know many latched onto the idea from the RtDL novelization that he can at least recognize written Halcandran, even if he can't speak it fluently.)

I'm going to leave whatever language Magolor speaks (since it's probably NOT Halcandran now???) and the Jamba language out of this for now, as if the Lor uses Halcandran text, we at least know it's not a one-to-one match with FL-ese as it exists in the New World.

(Speaking of, the Lor text is used in Kirby's Air Ride! Game Theory: Ancients made the Air Ride Machines?!?) And though Jambandran is spelled similar to the way FL-ese is pronounced in Neichel's song, it's not identical either. But that's probably language drift!

Not me writing some dialog and switching from German to English in the middle of the sentence by accident. I'm just so used to Finn swearing in English haha. I didn't even notice my mistake until I hit a word I didn't know the English translation of.😆

In other news, I started working on a little side story. It won't be published any time soon, but motivation hit so I'm taking the chance to prepare some stuff.

I did a tad bit more digging and discovered that Bobby’s paternal grandparents were both born in France, however, Bobby’s father was born in Switzerland. This means there’s a high probability his father spoke French and not Swiss German! The more you know :)

uh...so what is up with this AO3 demographics survey that isn't affiliated with the AO3, claims to be a statistical survey but is run by someone with no background in sociology or statistics, and claims to be created to provide source material for future researchers but has no plan in their faq for how that survey will be archived or made accessible? judging by the feedback they've posted, it sounds like their "race/ethnicity" question is a hot mess as well. Anyone got any good info on this?

Still haunted by that video of the person complaining that the video game didnt recognize the numeral 3 as they wrote it bottom-up, dozens of times, and the dozens of comments expressing confusion why others were suggesting writing it top-down

I'm.. reluctant to watch the lore on Saturday, especially after seeing so many posts about Purgatory?? I'm tired of angst man... But if there is a chance to see the children again, I guess I will
