i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada

thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.

also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!

not me stealth-editing because I forgot his antenna whoops

LOVE his kansai dialect so much huge shoutout to his seiyuu (kengo kawanishi) here’s 34 seconds of it from the new episode

(also whilst confirming that i wasn’t saying the wrong shit i found a thread on how his dialect gets translated in the manga from an official translator!)

i wish i knew what to call the specific discrimination appalachians face

cuz like

it isnt racism, appalachians dont form a distinct racial category

but it isnt accurate to call it classism, the discrimination we face is influenced by, but distinct from the perception of appalachians as exclusively working class

and even in working class spaces i find my culture to be singled out, and that most non appalachians ive met consider the region an acceptable target of prejudice and ridicule, regardless of class background

nativism, nationalism, and xenophobia all dont really work in analysis

my girlfriend suggested the term "locational prejudice"

but that isnt a particularly useful term if your goal is to dismantle said prejudice, its clunky and an ineffective phrase for communication

Inspired heavily but this video

Thinking about the difference in accent and sound between France's French and Canadian French.

Francis: hello my dear child how are you, I know I've been away a while but I'm here to visit

Matt: -speaks french Canadian-

Francis: what the fuck did you do to my beautiful language???

Obviously Arthur is basically fluent in French. That's his girlfriend/ex-wife/husband/ex-boyfriend. Also he's been invaded by France so many times. (Fun fact about a third of English words are actually stolen from French). So I love the idea that Francis finds it easier to talk to Arthur in French, then he does to speak to Matt in French.

Despite both knowing french, Matt and Arthur NEVER talk to each other in it, because Arthur just isn't actually fluent enough to translate Matt's accent & variations in his head

Francis & Matt: -having an argument in French in the living room-

Arthur: wait Matt can just you switch to english for a second, I need to check who's side I'm on

Two other videos about accents/language that I love and will ramble about in the tags

i think a leverage remake set here in australia would be cool, but i think a leverage remake filmed in australia and the characters still pretend it’s boston (like they did when filming in portland for years) would be funnier

I feel like anyone who's about to embark on attempting to type out a character's accent phoentically (at least as well as one can with English) should probably stop for a moment before they get going and ask themselves, "How would I, myself, feel about a fic where the one character who sounds like me had their speech written out like this and every other character just got their dialogue left in standard spelling?" I feel like a lot of people would tone it down a bit, at least, if they'd done that thought experiment first.

(Anyone who answered "but I don't have an accent!" isn't allowed to write out anyone else's accent, ever. This rule may seem harsh but you need it. Really, you do. Because you've never had anyone treat your accent as abnormal or comical or wrong, so you really don't know what you're inflicting on others here.)

She's not in the least bit sorry 🤨 Hilariously, this is the first time I've ever drawn Rose. Only took... 2.5 years oops

[sage-is-in-fact-very-tired]

as some of you may know - sage talks to themself. a lot. this leads to situations like during today's bound lore where I start talking in people's accents-

Can we as a fandom collectively move on from writing Scrooge’s accent out in dialogue? Like the “ye” thing? Please. Please. Please. Please Please Please PLEASE—

I hope you don’t mind me putting a TBP headcannon, but Vance, Robin and Gwen played tea party.

Gwen puts makeup and costumes on the boys and they talk with a British accent

When Finney and Bruce entered her room, he will see Vance, who has messy blue eyeshadow, messy red lipstick and a purple feather boa, and Robin, who has too much pink blush, smudged mascara and a crooked sun hat, and the baseball boys tried not to laugh at them

Gwen would have so much fun playing dress up with Vance and Robin, both because they have such pretty long hair she can play with lmao

I don’t really know how to draw makeup so I did my best ,’:> but I think the sparkly blue eyeshadow was my favorite part though!

I just said "oil" outloud because I'm making bacon and now I'm losing my mind because I did the thing of the "hahaha southerners pronounce 'oil' funnily they just can't say that word!!" And I just. OIYOL. OIYOL. NOT OUHL.

The pain and perjuries of only sometimes having a Southern accent and it only coming out and particular moments.

I'm amusing myself thinking about my non-southern F/Os reacting to my occasional pronunciation of words and sentences. Nonethless when it comes out more strongly like that.
