Languages (part 1)

What Languages I think the BGC/ Reds and Blues would speak.

Tell me if you want me to do Freelancers or Chorus etc because I am totally down I have THINGS TO SAY-

Church ( / Alpha / the Director): English, Hebrew and German. English and Hebrew are his native languages. He took German in high school and never forgot a word. He has no use for the language however. Also nobody ever remembers that it’s Hebrew. As in: he tells them out of frustration, but they all just seem to forget the next minute.

Tucker: English. He barely knows English and the only things he did try to learn were Spanish and Swedish pick-up lines because he thinks Spanish is hot and thought Wash was Swedish for some fucking reason for a solid three months don't even argue. But also (god bless), he tried to learn Sangheili for Junior and it just did not work.

Caboose: English, Spanish and French. Caboose was just brought up bilingual (Spanish and English) and studied French all through high school and even for a semester at Harvard. However, nobody knows this because nobody ever addresses him in these languages. Plus, he never spoke Spanish to Lopez because he never assumed he was being spoken to.

Tex: English? Well, Tex is only fluent in English. She’s actually pretty good with Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Egyptian Arabic and of course: Hebrew. Holding a really long or complex conversation would be difficult for her, but she’s definitely skilled. Only issue? She doesn’t really give a shit, and her only focus is really on Freelancer and later the Reds and Blues. She always had a fascination with languages that most English speakers found unorthodox or difficult and honest-to-God: after basic when their relationship started, Alison took to learning Hebrew for Leonard. She wasn’t meant to get as good as she did, but it’s the closest to a second language she’s got, even if she’ll never admit she likes Hungarian better.

Sheila/F.I.L.I.S: English but she can perfectly translate into any language. Including High Valyrian because of that one time the Director decided he really liked Game of Thrones.

Kaikaina: English, Hawaiian, Spanish and Catalan. Her native languages are English and Hawaiian. Some of her friends were from Spain or Catalonia so she chose Spanish in high school and had an astounding level of commitment to both languages. She speaks perfectly now and really does try to have conversations with Lopez but he refuses because he doesn't like her accent.

Sarge: English. That's it. He also likes to ask people "Sprichst du Deutsch" and if they say yes he just pretends it never happened.

Simmons: English, Esperanto, Tagalog, Dutch and Flemish. He's extremely proud of himself, as he should be, but anytime he tries to boast the reds and blues have no idea what languages he's talking about. His only validation came from one time on Chorus, Wash found out and said he was impressed. Simmons cherishes that memory.

Grif: English, Hawaiian, Spanish and Catalan. His native languages are English and Hawaiian. Neither of his parents spoke Catalan, he never really studied but still ended up speaking at a conversational level. Maybe he just picked it up from Kai? Except he doesn't give a shit and only Kai knows this but why would she go around telling people her brother speaks Catalan? As for Spanish... Grif learned Spanish in season 15 while he was isolated because... Because he wanted something to remind himself of Simmons. And he thought that every time Simmons spoke Esperanto, that it was Spanish. Spoiler alert, Simmons had no clue what he was on about. (He and Kai always play dumb pranks like shouting a pleasant conversation in Hawaiian to make people think it was a really bad argument).

Lopez: Spanish. Fairly self-explanatory.

Doc: Greek, English, Romanian and ASL. In my headcanons, Doc is half Greek, a quarter Romanian and a quarter American. He spoke all three languages growing up, though his Greek is the best. He always gets super frustrated whenever people insult his intelligence because he is a genius in Greek. He heard Tex curse in Romanian once and couldn’t leave her alone for ages. Though, Tex paid no attention as she was focused on O’Malley and by the time he was gone, so was Tex. Doc grew up in Greece for most of his life, Romania for 7 years and only moved to America later in life. He gets major homesickness and all he really wants is someone to talk to him in Greek or Romanian.

Donut: English, ASL, Greek? and (he thinks) Spanish. He took Spanish in high school and only retained incorrect vocabulary. His grammar is perfect and things like accent, flow and tone are flawless except he always says the wrong words and Lopez is constantly confused by this. Donut knows ASL because of his explosion scar which also caused major hearing loss. He’s been trying to learn Greek for Doc for months but hasn’t told him because he wants to be the best he can when he talks to him.

A glimpse in the Church Family.

Church x Reader

Yes there is Carwash/Washalina FIGHT ME its one of my favorite ships! Anyway here’s the church fluff!

“Chuuuuurccch.“our now stressed voice carried from the downstairs bathroom. You were getting ready for Carolina and Washington who were always visiting you two every month. A groan,echoing out of the living room, followed after your voice a second later. Of course Church hated to be dressed up for visitors he was basically like a child, but in a adult body. You’re two children Theta and Delta were in the living room with their father, even though all three of them were supposed to be getting ready. A laugh bounced off the living room walls followed by a grunt coming from Church.

After a minute or two, you heard grunts and heavy footsteps echo down the hallway.Church’s reflection soon appeared in the mirror you were staring in to get ready. You turned to wrapped your arms around his neck, when you looked down to see your little purple eyed son theta wrapped around his fathers left leg, and the bright green eyed Delta attached to the other.

“It’s just Wash and Carolina coming over. Why do we even have to dress up for the both of them.” Church groaned, he slumped against you as both of your kids gazed up at the both of you. “The kids don’t need to so why d-” His whining, and complaints were cut off by the coldest look you could ever give him. ‘Thank you Carolina for teaching me the glare’.

You thought to yourself as the glare shut him up, and Churches icy blue eyes cast down to his two children. They both had mocking smiles on their faces as they were watching their parents.

“Fine.” Church monotoned as he walked awkwardly upstairs to get changed. Laughs,and teasing voices followed him as Delta and Theta mocked Church for him getting put in his place by one look. You let out a chuckle yourself, as you turned your attention back to the mirror to finish getting ready.

Five minutes after Church and your boys walked upstairs, the doorbell rang a few times. Your thoughts scrambled, as you ran to the door quickly. Taking a deep breath to calm your nerves, and run a hand through your hair. You opened the door. David Washington and Carolina stood on the other side of the door. Carolina was fixing his steel and yellow tie, a slight frustrated look on the blondes face from having somebody tie it for him.

“You guys are early.” You sported an amused grin, when Wash jumped after hearing your voice. Carolina had the same amused grin on her face that you had on yours. Wash had a pinkish blush on his face, his gaze drifting over your shoulder into your house.

“Better early then never.” Carolina’s cracked you just a hint of a warm smile, as the couple stepped inside your cozy two story house. “Wash was paranoid about being late.” Her eyes rolled as her arm wrapped around her boyfriends.

“I didn’t know the microwave clock was off!” A flustered Wash exclaimed, still trying to prove some sort of point,on why he was so worried, to his girlfriend.

Carolina and you rolled your eyes at his statement. You turned your back to them and made your way over to the foot of the stairs, looking up on the direction of the bedrooms. “Church! Delta! Theta! Aunt Carolina and Uncle Wash are here!” You yelled in an indoor tone of voice upstairs, before turning your attention back to the pair.

Not soon after you heard two pairs of footsteps racing down the hallways. With your back turned you could tell Delta would race down the stairs, and Theta would slide down the stair railing to land beside you. As you predicted Delta soon ran down the stairs, and Theta slid down the stair railing quickly. Each boy barreled into Wash and Carolina to assault them with tight hugs. Then who ever hugged Wash would hug Carolina, and who ever hugged Carolina hugged Washington.

Church was the last to come down. Just like Wash he was frustrated with his pale blue tie. He cast a sad puppy dog eyes look at you, silently begging you to fix it for him even though it would embarrass him even more for it. This time Wash sported the amused grin, since Church was more frustrated than aphid about some silly tie. Once you had tied the tie in a neat little Carolina wrapped her baby brother in a tight hug.

It was always so nice to see the Church siblings showing affection for one another, even if they ended up arguing like little kids every now and then. As your gaze tore from watching the two siblings you could see Theta try to convince Wash to help him try,and convince You and Church to get a dog for him. Wash on the other hand was trying to convince Theta to get a cat instead. Then there was Delta glued to your left leg. He was always the observer in this family, always watching instead of being involved in conversations or events.

Sure your family was a little dysfunctional and Tucker told the boys way to many dirty jokes as a joke, but it was your family and you loved the Reds and blues no matter what; especially when Wash, Carolina, and the others were here under one big roof the boys and you couldn't be happier. Times like these are what you really cherished and took pictures of. Church grumbled on how he 'hated them all the most', but on quiet nights when it was just you two it would change to 'hating them all the least.'

You guessed that was as close as Church could get to telling them he loved them like family, but it would have to do for now. Laughter pulled you from your thoughts as you watched Church grab Delta from your leg and toss him up in the air as Wash and Carolina were tickling Theta since your son said "Cats are boring and stinky, but dogs are way better."

Yeah. You guessed that this was as close as you could get to a normal family you see in the movies or tv shows, but your family was way better than any tv show family anyway.
