twst ethnicity & language hcs 🦇
THANK U EVERYONE ON TWITTER WHO SUBMITTED HCS!! This thread took me forever, pls forgive an punctuation/general writing inconsistencies or spelling errors
warnings: none
last updated: apr 11, 2024
some collective headcanons:
i think the characters who are close to each other share words with each other and everyone kind of mixes things up (projecting)
"que... 为什么 es 你的 kouting 说了吗?!"
???? i hope this makes sense
all of them swear in their native languages when angry (minus riddle)
HEARTSLABYUL 🍓
Riddle: White British & Kinh Vietnamese, speaks Vietnamese
╰Mom: 🇻🇳 Dad: 🇬🇧
this hc is based on my vietnamese friend whos mom is the same as riddles
thank you for the hc nhi ily
Ace: Filipino, speaks Tagalog
constantly using "nanay mo" (your mom) insults
Deuce: Han Taiwanese & Yamato Japanese, speaks (正體字) Mandarin
╰Mom: 🇹🇼 Dad: 🇯🇵
his mom and ahgong speak hokkien and he doesnt, he also struggles to read traditional characters
his mom gave birth to him when she was a teen and she doesn't know the father so he's not too connected to his JP side
Cater: Hispanic Filipino of British Latin descent, speaks Filipino and Spanish
Trey: Malay Indonesian, speaks Indonesian and Malay
SAVANACLAW 🥩
Leona: Tanzanian, Kikuyu Kenyan, Malian (Mandinke)
╰Mom: 🇹🇿🇰🇪 Dad: 🇹🇿🇲🇱
i know he sucks his teeth all the damn time
tsk get out of my way herbivore tsk ugh tsk
ghana is one of the only african countries that still have a monarchy
also the lion king is based off of Mansa Musa the Malian king so YA
Ruggie: Afro-Brazilian & Gullah, speaks Southern Tutnese, Gullah, & Brazilian Portugese
╰Mom: 🇧🇷 Dad: 🇺🇸
projection beam
uses tutnese to be sneaky, Gullah with his grandma
i know the soul food in his house on sunday goes CRAZY
more connected to his Gullah side because his grandma is AA and he doesnt know his brazilian parent, but does try to learn more about the culture just for himself
Jack: Inuit Alaskan, Tarabin Bedouin Afro-Egyptian, speaks Arabic
╰Mom: 🇪🇬 Dad: "🇺🇸"
no one submitted hcs for jacky wacky...
well he speaks the Masri dialect methinks
OCTAINEVILLE 🐚
HONORABLE MENTION: someone said they hc the octatrio speak Danish with an Omal dialect!
Azul: White Italian/Hawaiian/Afro-Hatian, speaks Hatian Creole and some Italian
╰Mom: 🇮🇹🇭🇹 Bio dad: Hawaiian
His step dad is also Hawaiian so he was able to keep that culture as well
Apparently octopi are very important to polynesian culture! very interesting
The reason the tweels don't let him cook is actually because all of his creations come out so spicy and flavorful it started scaring white customers
Floyd: Okinawan Japanese/Afro-Bajan, speaks Japanese & Patois
╰Mom: 🇯🇵 Dad: 🇯🇵🇧🇧
I think the tweels are more connected to their Japanese side than their Caribbean side, but Floyd says "gwan" all the time so who knows
He often mixes Japanese and common language. Not because he isn't fluent in common language but because he wants to
When cooking he tries to combine both cultures (sooo much curry...)
Jade: Okinawan Japanese/Afro-Bajan, speaks Japanese & Patois
Both Japan and Trinidad and Tobago have really cool tropical landscapes so i think hed be super proud of his ethnicity (AKA the greenery from where hes from)
AH i forgot to mention, but to keep up with the islander theme from the OG movies i think the tweels would be more from the Okinawa region
SCARABIA 🌞
Kalim: Punjabi Pakistani, speaks Urdu
ok i said this on twitter but i think he tries to learn Arabic for Jamil (he's awful at it but he is TRYING!)
i also said methinks he likes how the word for "no" in Arabic sounds like "la"
whenever jamil tries to make him productive he goes "lalalala" and thinks hes the funniest person in the entire world
Jamil: Persian Iranian, speaks the Syrian Arabic dialect & Urdu
always talking shit about people in arabic
especially kalim, but kalim doesnt know how to say "lazy bastard" in Arabic yet so he is oblivious
POMEFIORE 👑
Vil: Jewish German-American, speaks Hebrew, French, Russian, & Spanish
╰Mom: 🇩🇪🇺🇸 Dad: 🇮🇳
looks almost completely white
she speaks so many languages mostly for her acting career
Rook: Zulu South African, Baoulé Ivorian, Canadian French, speaks French
╰Mom: 🇨🇮🇿🇦 Dad: 🇨🇦🇿🇦
when they came to NRC they weren't fluent in the common language but sam (louisianan, speaks French Creole) helped them, as well as vil who speaks french
now theyre more fluent in common language but still has a thick Montreal accent
has that phlegm-y "h" sound in the back of their throat
Epel: Laz Turkish & Southern American, speaks English and Kartvelian
╰Mom: 🇹🇷 Dad: 🇺🇸
when speaking english he has a little southern accent :3
hes always confusing the languages he knows if the words are too similar, he also has a little Turkish accent
IGNEHYDE 💀
Idia: Romani Greek & Turkish, white Puerto Rican, speaks Greek and Spanish
╰Mom: 🇵🇷 Dad: 🇹🇷🇬🇷
cursing people out in rapid greek and/or spanish in COD lobbies
i also think he learned like 3 Greek poems just so he could qrt people on twitter who he disagreed with
"those who can not obtain the grape will say it is sour" but like in Greek
DIASOMNIA 🐉
Malleus: Han Chinese, speaks Mandarin, Gaelic, & a shit ton of other languages
mostly speaks Mandarin
can read/write traditional and simplified characters!
HONORABLE MENTION: someone hced him as having Jewish descent and speaking Hebrew!
Lilia: Mongolian & Chinese, speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Gaelic, and a shit ton of other ancient languages
i think he speaks with a Northern Chinese dialect in Mandarin, I dont speak Canto or Hokkien so idk about that srry :,3
he drawls his 儿s a lot methinks mostly to get a point a cross
Sebek: Egyptian, Nenet Russian, Han Chinese, speaks Cantonese & some Gaelic
╰Mom: 🇷🇺🇪🇬 Dad: 🇨🇳
is trying really hard to be fluent in Gaelic so he can impress malleus
he already knew some Gaelic but just basic words/sentences
Silver: Han Taiwanese, Tibetan, & French speaks Mandarin
╰Mom: 🇨🇳🇹🇼 Dad: 🇫🇷
the difference between Taiwanese pronunciation vs Chinese pronunciation is that it sounds... "softer" (?)
with his character as a whole just having more slurred, soft words makes sense.
maybe he knows how to say like "hello" and "please" in Gaelic because he was pretty young when Lilia brought him in and he naturally picked up like... two words
also i hc he is tibetan because the wiki page said sleeping beauty is set in the himalayas? so i just ran with it LOL
