realized something earlier today. you know that trope where bilingual characters in fiction will sprinkle their native language into english sentences? and how i personally, while i can't speak for every bilingual person on the planet, don't really see that happening in reality pretty much ever, at least not with people who are passingly fluent in english? anyway i realized i DO mix languages, just the other way. i will happily throw english words and phrases into my daily speech when chatting with my peers in norwegian or czech like it's no biggie. because we all know english here, so it makes sense to swap in words if i'm falling short! but why would i say words other people don't understand in conversation...!
#nor do i add norwegian words when speaking czech or vise versa UNLESS im talking to my mom who knows both#idk maybe im just pointing out the obvious#i just always found it odd how many people will portray bilingual characters by making them mix languages all the time#like im sure someone out there does that. surely. i just haven't met them#post brought to you by: i read the sunshine court the other day and im so glad jean feels plenty French#without saying french phrases all the time like he's in a fanfic. thank u nora sakavic

ive seen some people say modern au sanji should be cajun, but in my opinion he should be quebecois bc quebec is such an affront to the french that its simply the biggest, most perfect Fuck You to the french-from-france vinsmokes if sanji grew up quebecois. and also the quebecois suck and are annoying and those traits are integral to sanji (im saying that with a heart full of love)
BUT my friend just said "what if hes like, faking being cajun and hes actually quebecois" and thats the funniest thing ive ever heard. can you imagine your close friend who youve always assumed from louisiana suddenly drops his accent and garbles out the worst french youve ever heard just to tell you hes actually from.....quebec
#one piece#blackleg sanji#sanji#obsessed w this concept its so fucking funny to me#sorry but leave the cajuns out of this man they already have to deal w lestat from iwtv. they have enough white blond freaks down there#the inherent appeal of sanji is his loserism he shouldnt get to be from somewhere cool ykwim#the only thing i dont like about this is i would never make zeff quebecois thats too mean#zeff should be french from france and only sanji has the wretched quebecois dialect fluency#<- strong opinions brought to you by an immigrant who lives in qc

Oh but maybe I'm not done. Maybe in this world where we all have to reckon with the damage our nations and our cultures have done and still do, maybe just maybe invoking the idea of colonial cultural genocide when talking about internal reform within a former imperial power, maybe that's crossing a line actually
#the discourse#second time today i nearly brought it home and then deleted the words on my page#i don't even know why#tiny tiny text: the white nationalists and the american gun nuts and the french who hate the existance of muslims within their borders and t#etc etc. they call it cultural genocide too

Going through the Utahim.e tag had me checking several times if at some point I had clicked on the G.ojo/Utahim.e one instead
#It's mainly the ship and mainly ship art. Very pretty btw. There's people with gorgeous styles there#There isn't even a lot of x reader fics haha I guess people don't want to bang Utahime?#Anyway... lowkey wished this happened with Ijichi lol#I so wanted Ijichi to mention or even hint at a mention of Gojo one last time like they did with Nanami#If nothing else for the weight of it all. The weight of feeling your youth dying piece by piece alongside the people who made it out#And everything it implies#Art of Shoko dealing with Gojo's death even in a cold way always strikes hard for that motive but I always love it#with pretty much everyone of those years. There was one piece I saw once that was not explicitly or necessarily romantic about Utahime#being hit by Gojo's death and I don't recall exactly how it was (I think I may have queued it?)#but it moved me more than any piece more clearly emotional that I had seen before#I don't know. I thought it held the potential of that. That weird uncomfortable heartbreaking feeling#of hearing bad news about old friends or classmates and how it makes you realise the weight of time#They suffered and accident. They tried to kill themselves. They are very sick. Their sibling or parent died. And you knew these people#You saw them daily for years. Maybe you weren't close but you knew these people. They cut my bangs when I was eight and I punched them#I tripped over them playing hide and seek and we both lost at the same time. We both hated each other's favourite teacher#They borrowed my pen once and then never gave it back. I once drenched them at the fountain after PE and it was winter but they laughed#Their mother got mad though. Now she's dead. We were made to sit together in French class in middle school. They loved to keep their hair l#Now they're sick and have lost their hair#Their little sibling was so annoying always trying to make us play with them during recess too. It was kinda cute. Now they're dead#I don't know. That kind of stuff#Utahime boosts Gojo and then he dies. Shoko opens him up to make a tool of his body#Ijichi accompanies another kid to clean after him in the meanwhile. And then the realisation hits. He is dead#He was annoying. He was my friend. He was so rude#He had such a sweet tooth. He laughed so loudly. He used to lean over people when talking with them#We were kids once. We are here now. He isn't here anymore. Some of us haven't been here anymore for a long while. It's been so long#He was still young. I am still young. We felt so old. At times it feels as if the time back then didn't happen at all.#And now he's dead and oh it's true he was so annoying but he also had such a sweet tooth. I forgot. What do I do with this memory now?#At times it felt as if the time back then didn't happen at all but then at times it shone through. He brought it back#He asked me a favour knowing I wouldn't betray his secret. He still teased the same way. He still leaned on people. But now he's dead#I don't know if I'm explaining myself well xD I think it's a pretty common emotion when it happens.Oh I forgot to censore words again sorry

I think the different troll genres would probably have different cultures around deafness but overall be fairly accepted. The different genres also probably had their own sign language because of the separation. Not completely different but enough that it gets confusing for hearing trolls who don’t know that there are regional signs.
#trolls#trolls headcanons#the sign language thing is an actual thing btw#fun fact American Sign Language is based around#french sign language#because it was a French guy who brought it to America

yeah i'm the person who sent the "the best way to know if this is true or not is to have proof" ask and i'm reeling from their response. like. jesus christ?? in the span of two days, i've gone from checking their blog daily to blocking them on every platform. the buzzwords, the self-righteousness, the Making A Guy Who's I Find Mildly Annoying A Bigot As Activism. who the fuck acts like this.
Feel free to not publish this, it's a bit of a vent, but. god, there's a part of me that still can't fully believe their account wasn't hacked or something
(i can take this down if you want) tbh im just so shocked at like the balls to post all that and be like yeah but i trust these random ass anons over this rather than actually researching. like if you want to post hate and negativity just... say it lol. id much prefer someone just being honest about their hate than trying to examplify it as a moral just cause to rally behind. also for fucks sake why do people not get that you cannot trust any section of twitter without proof. misinfo is absolutely not an english only thing like do people think bagi getting hate for a decade is from just the english community. same to baghera
#asks#discourse#i cannot get over the gall of a french person sending an ask and then explaining the french love etoiles to them#like. hello? help me#for the record i do not understand why baghera is being brought up either#i was on twitter when that shit happened it was noooooot bbh fans who were sending her hate.

#the woman who lives upstairs from me is insanely sweet#like she just knocked on the door today and brought food and was checking on my homework#(I think it was leftover eid sheep made into kebabs - whatever it was it tasted amazing)#and when I told her I didn’t get the chance to pack enough modest/suitable clothes for Morocco#she took me shopping#for 3 hours#I’m not sure I’m rocking the gandoura#but she loved it on me and I wasn’t going to say no#not the stones#me stuff#morocco#she only speaks French and Arabic so I’m getting 2 for 1 language practice there

In a turn of shocking events absolutely stunning no one more than myself, I might actually enjoy cooking and not only that, be good at it
#it’s like a switch just flipped or something it’s crazy#cooking genuinely used to be in my top 10 most hated activities#but these past couple days I’ve been loving it?#I wonder if the secret is that I’m ACTUALLY cooking#as in like making things from scratch and not relying on premade frozen and stovetop meals#like on Saturday I made a ran of ribs#(made bbq sauce from scratch and everything!)#and then shredded the meat for tacos#they were delicious! and I loved the process of it!#they were so yummy I brought the leftovers to work for lunch the next day!!!!#I’ve *never* done that before#last night I made pasta#and while the pasta was premade (I don’t think I’ll ever reach a point where I’m making pasta from scratch regularly lol)#(I would like to give a shot eventually though)#I made the sauce myself and actually grated fresh Parmesan cheese instead of using the powdered shit#and it was so yummy!!!!#today a friend is coming over and I’m gonna make her fried rice with some of the leftover rib meat#I woke up this morning and first thing made French toast and bacon#not frozen French toast like I actually turned the stove on#tomorrow night I am planning on making Turkey meatloaf with glazed carrots and some peas#what is HAPPENING#this used to be HELL for me and now I’m enjoying it#and food tastes???? good????#this is insane who was gonna tell me food could taste good??????#I used to hate food and only ate when I needed to#is this what cooking from scratch does???? it makes it taste good?????#mannnnnnn#but anyways yes I’m loving it I’m loving the process and it’s tasting good#I haven’t had a horrible accident where something tastes awful yet#(I expect it will happen eventually haha but so far!!!)

Also. The weird girl in school feeling of both intense jealousy and violent repulsion towards "normal" girls.
#this post brought to you by: the normaler girls i follow on insta and the stories they post#like these three girls. two of them from the same university as me. the other one also french. all in the same city as me#all exchange students at the same uni in england!#but they're going on day trips to london and living their best year abroad#and i'm - what. staying at home and making soup? sleeping and failing to buy postcards?#the warring impulses of jealousy and repulsion.#because. i want to be normal too. i want my life to be simple and nice and easy.#i want to be a pretty girl who's doing it right. i want to have my life together (somewhat) (for my age and status)#i want girlfriends in the straight way who i can have daytrips with.#i long for the simplicity of asking out cute boys and aesthetic study sessions that actually pay off#i am so blindingly jealous of them. they're so much more normal than me. they're doing Girlhood and Womanhood correctly.#but at the same time i would rather die than change so much i'd be that girl#because i am simply not that person. this is not who i am at my core#i do not want to buy startbucks. i don't want relationship drama. i don't want to put all my personal data on instagram#i do not actually want to force myself to fit into the restrictive mold of what normal and socially acceptable girlhood and womanhood are#so i feel both 1) left behind and inadequate like i'm back in middle school#2) but also at peace with the fact that you can't get along with everyone and i'm old enough to find my people now#i mean my housemates are really cool and i have other friends that are also the kind of nerdy weirdo people i hang out with#AND 3) inadequate for general 'i'm a fucking child' reasons#they're independent. they're spontaneous. they're just doing things. they're on the way to adulthood. they're in their early 20s.#what am i then but a child. i don't go out much i don't drink i have this huge aura of no romance#i need structure and plans and i have a lot of inertia#and i thought the adult thing was going well! i'm feeding myself all on my own! i'm planning my days!#i'm doing laundry and cleaning up messes! look at the adult!#she's not done baking but i was expecting much much worse honestly. i was braced for a total crumble#but no we're good. i felt proud of myself#and here i see people having the normal typical year abroad experience. and i'm not#i'm being childish and i'm wasting money doing the exact same thing i'd be doing at home but in england#anyway. 2:30. sleep time. good night#wow i have a ramble tag now

when people ask me what the biggest cultural difference is between Canada and the US I think I should start telling them the weirdest one, which is that in Canada 99% of people pronounce my name correctly and in the US even people who have heard me say my own name multiple times (some of whom I've worked with FOR A YEAR) whiff it on at least 75% of attempts.
#brought to you by a lovely weekend at the ttrpg convention where not one person I met got it right#except the woman I already knew#and the Canadian - who had a strong French accent and thus kind of was doing his own thing too#so many 'I'm Andrea' 'Nice to meet you Andreya' interactions#SO MANY#my longtime american friends / wife set the bar for doing this competently too high

yeah well, but phil is... phil. he is so annoying to me no matter te age lmao
well, i think there's tubbo who's 19, then there's a couple who are 21 but the mayority are over 25 and there are at least 4 who are over 30. and even the youngest ones have years of streaming for large audiences and reached their peaks years ago.
okay looking at a list it looks like the majority are between 24 and 28. but yeah the streaming audience thing is true. I do think though that q was looking for people who had established audiences cause he wanted to pull those fans into q smp and them having smp experience was an added plus.
#like he brought on spreen in the beginning who is a total drama magnet slash pos#bwcause he has a huge audience#but someone like tub bo was picked over someone like tommy#cause tub bo knows what hes doing and isnt gonna start shit#i dont think everyone reached their peak before the smp tho. wete some of the french and portuguese people smaller before#askies#negative#q smp#qneg

#'hold your breath and hold on tight‚ hunker down‚ try not to cry'#'tell the critters that you love‚ that you love them‚ that's enough'#'cause there's no stopping what's to come‚ some shit's just etched into the stars‚ calamities you can't outrun'#it's been a difficult six months or so after being presented with some inevitable future losses‚ you kind of just disengage with everything#then try to stay distracted with busywork and things that don't take much focus. It's infuriating when something's happening and you#can't do anything to help or change the outcome or fix it. It's just there and happening and you have to watch and do nothing even knowing#where it's potentially going. And the worst part is‚ it can look like it's getting better and things can look promising‚ and in a span of#days it's all downhill. And I did not expect one of my stupid little distractions to punch me in the face with my reality‚ but here we are.#Our roof is finally fixed though‚ so there's that. It rained for two days and the rain stayed outside instead of coming in. It's been a#good number of years since that was the case. I learned how to make a custard pie last month. The spiral ham I like is on a good sale and#I'm getting one for Christmas. I gave in and spent $150 on UGG men's boots because the ones I had to buy to be in a wedding party five#years ago impressed me but were women's boots. They're super warm. I found a Christmas card that was the leg lamp from A Christmas Story to#send to a friend. Someone gave my housemate Wawa gift cards and now we're fully stocked on free egg nog. A rep at work brought me a little#holiday bag at work with a 'champagne' bottle of french vanilla hot chocolate mix and some nice candy. There's a squirrel who's gotten#spoiled by getting peanuts and now he hangs outside my second-story window on the tree and barks at me to demand more. Rent is going down#in my city of choice and hopefully things go well to move out of this city by the end of next year. Humans are going back to the moon. The#Webb Telescope has been showing us things at the edge of the galaxy I never thought I'd see. Otters and bats and owls and cats exist.#Humans have achieved net positive nuclear fusion...we made a star in a bottle. It's too early to be up right now on a Saturday.
