#southern accents are just the move

[vivaciousoceans]

People clown Terrance Howard’s accent so much but but I can’t lie half of my inner monologue starts with “ey mayne say mayne” just because of how addicting the accent is

[bedlamsbard]

every day I am shocked the Midwest accent is real

[doueverwonder]

ngl I’m surprised we haven’t gotten a “the more north you go the more south you get” bit with Florida yet. He’s done different parts of other states as individual personifications and I think it’d be so funny for Gov to walk into a meeting and Florida not be the usual Florida. Throw him for a loop.

Unpopular opinion (though it shouldn't be) people born and educated in the American south aren't inherently less intelligent than anyone else, and it's really fucked up so many of you think that.

Oh no, man. I decided to watch the Damien episode of Perfect Person coz I only found out about it from the Angela appearance.

There's a part (around 2:45) where he says he booked the Starfield VA gig right when he first started at Smosh so with it coming out recently, it kinda bookended "this part of his internet life".

And I was like, WHAT DOES HE MEAN? IS HE LEAVING SMOSH??

<darthvader.gif> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I find it interesting that he also says right before at (2:46) that he's trying to "Focus up, here soon" and since this Podcast was only 4months ago... Wonder what that means!

Ok ok joking aside I don't really think that's exactly what he meant by the things he said. I think he was mainly talking about doing more voice over work and "focus" on it more, not that he's going to fully leave Smosh.

He also says that he spent 5-6 yrs recording for that game, so that's why I think him saying "bookended this whole part of my internet life" is ONLY referring to him voicing over that game.

I'm also pretty sure "this whole" is (although it does sound like it could mean what you thought) almost definitely his southerner coming out, and what he meant was "the game coming out has bookended 5-6yrs worth of work for the voice over I did" not that he's quitting anything (I'm becoming the truth speaker of Damien Haas)

Holy shit bro, I'm getting good at this 'decoding whatever people assume Damien meant' stuff! I felt my skin glowing while I was trying to decipher what he meant lmao

I am become Truth, the Breaker of Assumptions

Fave lesbian whos ever hit on me on this app was this girl who wrote everything out with a very potent old fashioned southern accent (darlin, hun, sugar, left the Gs off the end of words even in writing, constantly talking abt how country she was, etc) and I was like hm this feels a little forced. But whatever who am I to assume. And anyway it turned out she was from fucking LA and she just acted like that for no reason

[rookfern]

sometimes I like to dream about a world that does not immediately mark me as less intelligent for my accent

[harmonybarmy]

can I be honest...............it's hard for me to finish this season of interview with the vampire

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

the thing about podcasts for me is that i actually have a really hard time listening to them and have tried to get into at least 20 if not double that over the past few years but have never been able to get through more than a few episodes and that’s usually after forcing myself. this is true for all except one podcast. because i have only ever been able to listen to and enjoy that single podcast, i listen to it on repeat and have been since 2020. i have been informed recently that this is not something that happens with other people

I vaguely remember seeing a post suggesting Sam’s from Louisiana due to Mont Blanc irl being in, like, the French alps and the Louisiana purchase and all that. A phenomenal theory 10/10 but I offer you Sam growing up in the French alps and learning English by watching spaghetti westerns

[the-halfling-prince]

A recent TikTok trend made me fall back into my ages old hyperfixation of Joan of Arc, which then made me start thinking about how Catholic imagery kinda slaps, which made me think about how France is home to one of the best examples of Gothic architecture (which I had a brief hyperfixation on a few years ago), and now I've domino effected myself into not being able to stop thinking about the 1996 Disney animated adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, to the point where I'm considering reading the original novel by Victor Hugo. I'm considering reading. A Victor Hugo book. Help.

Every time i talk about p1 im fighting back my heart trying to make him more country

And every time i am losing more and more

[boyheros]

God i never once imagine Reo being southern in any way but once i considered having Barney half-life as his adult voice claim i can't unthink it. do i have to make him southern now. Barneyification.

[all-that-jazz-93]

Born and raised in northwest Louisiana but never had much of a southern accent despite everyone around me having very thick accents. I now live in Chicago, and when I first moved here I tried purposely to develop a Chicago accent but it didn't really take, so I think what I actually have is a sort of flat Midwestern accent that sounds a bit Chicagoan if I make an effort, and a bit southern if I'm tired or drunk

ok i absolutely need to know what accents u all have pls reblog and tell me or comment or whatever I must know

[kuchipatch1]

yall have got to be more normal about Southern people and I'm not kidding. enough of the Sweet Home Alabama incest jokes, enough of the idea that all Southerners are bigots and rednecks, and enough of the idea that the South has bad food. shut up about "trailer trash" and our accents and our hobbies!

do yall know how fucking nauseating it is to hear people only bring up my state to make jokes about people in poverty and incestuous relationships? how much shame I feel that I wasn't born up north like the Good Queers and Good Leftists with all the Civilised Folk with actual houses instead of small cramped trailers that have paper thin walls that I know won't protect me in a bad enough storm?

do yall know how frustrating it is to be trans in a place that wants to kill you and whenever you bring it up to people they say "well just move out" instead of sympathizing with you or offering help?

do yall understand how alienating it is to see huge masterposts of queer and mental health resources but none of them are in your state because theyre all up north? and nobody seems to want to fix this glaring issue because "they're all hicks anyways"

Southern people deserve better. we deserve to be taken seriously and given a voice in the queer community and the mental health space and leftist talks in general.
