#Spanish-speaking communities

[royalarchivist]

This video is only available to people who are members of Acau's ( 악어 ) Youtube, but one of his fans posted a short clip Acau shared of his and Quackity's conversation testing out the QSMP translator!

[ Original Tweet ]

#Acau #악어 #QSMP #Quackity #That's so cool! #I cannot speak any Korean whatsoever but I'm very curious and excited to watch him and learn #My language knowledge is English > Japanese > Spanish #which. is ironic since I'm Mexican #but some Korean words sound very similar to a few Japanese words and it always trips me up hearing them #I'm so excited to meet 악어 and his community!!! aaaaa!!! #everyone is so excited I love seeing everyone getting so excited to share information about the streamers they love #Anyways shoutout to Gaby for the heads up about this. They don't even use Tumblr but they're wonderful

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #a-qing #xiao xingchen #xue yang #shout out to our girl a-qing for seeing the downfall this man would cause at minute one of meeting him #Something to be said about the differences in their 'blindness' also having figurative consequences. #xxc is blinded to consequences by his own naivety. He helps who needs helping because that's what he feels is right. #meanwhile A-qing is falsely blinded; she wields naivety as an outwards illusion while knowing full well that not everyone is worth saving. #She's one of my top 5 fav mdzs characters and I refuse to be quiet about it. #XXC is the kind of person who wants to save baby birds that fall out of nests. Alas. He should have followed the rules of nature: #'If you care - leave it there.' #The little rat man you found is so full of diseases. He bites. He will pee on all your belongings. Do not take him home. #No matter how sad he looks!!!! #For those who don't know what xxc is speaking Spanish: It has become a little inside joke. No significant lore: He Just Knows how. #Everytime he does I am blowing a kiss to the Spanish speaking mdzs community. I will consult you guys on slang as this arc continues. #(Playing around a bit with paneling and layout. To improve means to experiment!)

"the egg event is going to end" "the egg event went on too long" THERE IS NO EGG EVENT ANYMORE, THIS IS JUST LIFE. THIS IS JUST THE QSMP. THE EGGS ARE AN INTRINSIC PART OF THE SERVER AND TO KILL THEM OFF WOULD BE TO BLOW UP A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE WORLDBUILDING OUT OF STUBBORNNESS. AAAAA.

#qsmp #qsmp huevos #qsmp eggs #i understand there's some issues with the eggs and the spanish speaking community HOWEVER there's a massive amount of ccs deeply connected #and invested in their eggs #i'm so sorry but at this point it's just how the cookie crumbled and it would be deeply unfair for literally everyone else to just kill off #the goddamn eggs

[eyesoftxmorrow]

i'm not rly the type for mcyt stuff, but i think i finally managed to articulate why qsmp in particular just feels so incredibly special to me.

it's the way that the language proficiency of literally everyone involved is slowly evolving the longer they play together. the way that the english speaking players are making an effort to talk to one another in spanish and vice versa. when this thing started i remember hearing from multiple eng povs that they had to lean a lot on the google translate tab (and thats ok!), but something that really excites me is when i see those same eng ccs express how much they want to learn more about speaking spanish bc it's a way that thet can genuinely connect with their fellow players.

it's not even the fact that it's a minecraft smp; that just Happens to be the medium through which we get to watch this unfold. it's the first time, at least to my knowledge, that we're able to watch both the spanish and english-speaking communities bond over a game they love at a level as involved as this. both sides of the community are equally prominent, and more importantly, they're united in a way that i've never really observed in an online space until now. genuinely ive never seen anything like this before and its just really fascinating to see how all the players take on the challenge of building that bridge over something that once was a communication barrier for them. i love language i love cooperative gaming i love humans having fun learning new things from one another

#qsmp #sorry if this is incoherent its 2 am and im having feelings ab this series #as someone who spent their entire college career studying spanish and psychology and communications this smp is like the perfect storm #finally. a social experiment made specifically for me /J #the lore and the eggs and all that are just as entertaining ofc #but i think that the linguistic implications is what really got me invested. ygwim? #huge HUGE props to quackity for putting this smp together man. he really has created something so incredibly special #skip speaks

[edgarallanpoestan]

i like the term cubitos im glad thats been adopted by the english speaking community its the perfect word

#bee buzzes #qsmp #at least i assume it originated in the spanish speaking community

fully supportive of cass learning sign language and the fanon that she uses it more than spoken language but also. so many of you act as if its a lesser version of communication and she'll automatically be a pro/not struggle with it. its still a complex language that has structure, grammar, vocabulary and syntax. theres so many different factors for it, even within just one region - different signing styles, dialects, slang, as well as actual variations (asl, pse, see)

just because you rely on verbal communication doesnt mean nonverbal or alternative versions of communication is a lesser version than your normal

sign language, writing, variant types of aac devices and resources. its all methods of communication. it all deserves to be treated with the respect and regard that vocal languages are treated with

#if i see one more person thinking asl is just baby sign language #yes you can use gestures to convey a thought ! it doesn't mean you're speaking a language! #you wouldn't say youre fluent in fucking french because you know how to ask for the restroom. you wouldn't say you know german because you #know ich liebe dich. you wouldn't say you know spanish because you said gracias instead of thank you #cass gesturing with her hand that someone was a blabbermouth or pointing to jasons heart isnt evidence she knows a complex #and rich language. its treating people that use it as a lesser version of your normality and its ableist. #absolutely make her learn it ! but its a language that takes time to learn and be effective for communication. body language #is her first language. not english. not eventually asl. she'll struggle with sign just as much as a verbal language. #the d in dcu is for disabled #cassandra cain #posts from the crypt

this is a small thing all things considered but the translation is so fucking. stupid. when THREE of your six languages are romance languages. it’s such a wasted opportunity. like it not only shows how little he cares and understands about languages and etymology, but also how little he understands about WHY multilingual smps are so appealing. like. it would be SO much more fun to watch a spanish streamer and a portuguese speaker communicating each in their native language, because they can UNDERSTAND each other while simultaneously learning the other’s language. there’s no fun in realizing your languages aren’t as different as you think if it’s translated on a silver platter. there’s no effort in learning and bonding and sharing cultures.

#icarus speaks #discourse #LIKE. oh my fucking god i hate him so much #it’d be SO fun to watch french portuguese and spanish streamers communicating WITHOUT TRANSLATION #BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEIR LANGUAGES ALLOW!!! YOU ARE TAKING AWAY THE FUN!!!!! #KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!

[soulless-bex]

headcanon that percy is smart in a sense that he picks up language really easily, like he just learns them through exposure and stupidly fast, but since he’s dyslexic and has a hard time writing/reading and that’s all schools care about, he never learned the value of his skill

#he already canonically knows english greek and latin #but here he would probably also know french because of the aphrodite kids #i’d bet he also learned italian when he learned that nico was italian #and also spanish because second language classes #and some more random languages he picked up from his neighbours #asl too because he felt bad he couldn’t communicate with someone because he couldn’t accommodate their disability #he’s nice like that #and at some point he just start speaking a random language and everyone is flabbergasted #percy jackson hc #percy jackson is smart #polyglot percy jackson #pjo headcanon #pjo hcs #pjo percy

I know everyone has been talking about the psychology study u could be doing rn with qsmp but can we please talk more about the linguistic study of it bc it's so fucking COOL

#i need to find the post again bc i didnt reblog it but someone was talking about cellbit's name #bc in portuguese they dont generally have consonant sounds like t at the ends of words so the phoneme is different when they say it #which is such a neat thing to learn!!! #and im thinking also about the 'z' sound and the different ways its pronounced in both spanish speaking communities as well #like little things like that are so interesting to me #i want to study this server under a microscope #i wish i was still in school so i could bring this up with my phonetics prof i want to rattle their brain and talk about this #block game #qsmp

[lionheartedmusings]

also i will fall on my sword and try to clarify things that can be lost in translation and can just be simple misspeaking:

no one is upset that quackity made statements in spanish. we're upset that he made no private statement, and his public ones were at inaccessible times for the workers affected, in a language the majority do not understand, and that he has no subtitles / the translation website wasn't fucking working.

speaking in spanish = obviously okay

speaking in spanish without subtitles when saying nothing to his workforce / said workforce having to tune in to twitch.tv in the middle of the night to find out their employment status = not okay

#logging off after this but #i needed to say that bc truly idk how the point isn't coming across #people deserve clear communication about things #people DID NOT GET IT #people are allowed to be upset that there was no respect or consideration given to them #like this isn't about quackity speaking spanish #it's about the inaccessibility of the whole situation which is blatant

[azover]

Ok everyone let's learn spanish:

It's so difficult being a commie in this household

translates to

Qué difícil ser zurdo en esta casa

Now you know what to say at new year's dinner without your family batting an eye

*has loved sign language since childhood* *is more or less proficient in american sign language* *has studied and continues to study Deaf culture and its history* *has met and befriended many d/Deaf people*

*asks deaf person to repeat a fingerspelled word more than once*

omg now they hate me and they probably hate me for trying to learn their language and then failing at it so miserably and i should probably just switch majors and gosh they probably think im just another stupid hearing person. please i can do better i swear i didnt mean to disrespect you

every single deaf person that i have ever met: *does not care* *probably didn't even register any mistake i made* *understands that I am learning an entirely new language and am bound to need a bit of help*

#asl #american sign language #sign language #deaf community #this goes for how it feels to learn any language tbh #a previous asl professor of mine was actually spanish #(english was her 3rd language) #and she once said “como estas?” #you know #one of the most well known spanish phrases that you dont even have to take a spanish class to know (“how are you?”) #and i completely blanked #not because I didnt know what it meant #but because i was too nervous to speak spanish with a native spanish speaker #which is actually hilarious #because the whole point of learning more than one language #is to be able to communicate with the people who speak those languages #i think this is more of an american culture thing #the fact that we are often taught to perfect things like pronunciation (if its spoken) and grammar #instead of actual communication #of course sign language grammar is a bit more important to learn than other languages grammar #you say smt wrong in english and a native english speaker will be able to understand you fine #but signed languages are pretty much dependent on the grammar side of things #but my point still stands

[steelthroat]

for the astrology ask game taurus, sagittarius aaand 9h ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Hallooo!

Okkk let's see:

-Taurus: mhh sushi and pizza....but I love fruit more than anything. Especially that kind of super sweet grape used to make wine *smuah* and apples. And lemons, I love lemons.

Also jelly, it doesn't matter which kind of jelly I just love it a lot... God I want some jelly now whyyyyy

Hmm idk I love food it's one of the best pleasures in the world. So yeah idk I love all the food ✨️✨️ I will be the joy of your grandmas, I will never deny them.

- places I'd like to visit in the future:

Ireland and Scotland: please they're beautiful and so rich of history and things to see and the nature and and-

France: I love France a lot... and admitting this just made me lose my Italian citizenship. I also hate it for its politics and many other stuff... but God isn't it beautiful.

Mexico! I've wanted to go there since I was little! My parents went there for their honeymoon, I fell in love with it when I watched the "Beverly hills chihuahua" movie (you can laugh ahshfhfhfh) and the culture and places look so interesting and beautiful to me! And I know about all the problems etc but still a beautiful place that deserves to be seen and treasured imo

Japan: I am very curious about it. More than the cities I'd like to visit the countryside, the semi-forgotten spots, because I've seen some pictures and it's absolutely breathtaking.

Greece: THE HISTORY! THE ART! THE CULTURE! THE ISLAND WITH THE CATS! Please I could finally see all the things I studied/am studying!!!!

Spain: I'm going there just for "casa batllò" and anything touched by Gaudí, because my love for that man is endless.

Whatever place has more examples of brutalist architecture. I love brutalism. Talk to me about brutalism. Best architectural style ever and I'm dying on this hill.

9h- what languages would you like to learn

ALL OF THEM. No seriously, I love learning new languages and unlocking new thinking patterns (it comes with the package!!!). Atm I can speak fluently Italian and English and with a bit of practice also Spanish (I haven't practiced it for the last 2 years and I'm a bit rusty with the speaking, but reading and listening I'm fine).

But also I want to learn French and German, they're my top priorities.

If I get the occasion I'm going for Russian, Chinese and Japanese too! Haaaaah if I hadn't chosen Art (and writing) as my main passions I would have chosen to study Languages and Etymology!!

ALSO SIGN LANGUAGE (idk which one but the feeling is there)

#thanks for the ask! #steel answers #please people speak in foreign languages with me other than english #my answer will be cranky as hell but I'll have so much fun!!! #also I'm personally mad with Spanish and English because WHAT DO YOU MEAN HAIR/PELO IT'S A SINGOLAR NOUN #“i capelli” in italian. plural. every time i talk about my hair i refer about it as “them” and i have to go back and correct it ahshdhfh #i miei capelli sono corti/my hair is short #or spanish: mi pelo está corto/mi cabello es corto #like omg whyyyyy #WHY ARE YOU SINGOLAR #also spanish and its thousand ways to say car “carro/coche/auto/autómovil” ahshhdhffhf #don't worry i also hate italian a lot #and english #idk probably it's a love/hate relationship with languages #fuck it we're communicating with ultrasounds from now on

[creaturefeaster]

hey!! Can you tell a little more about El Ganso??

So something he's known for throughout the story is that he's a frequent hired gun. Well, sometimes hired. Sometimes he ends up being so moved by a friend's misfortune that he takes it upon himself to hunt down their problems personally. And one of the most important things to El Ganso are his close friends. Close enough friends of his he considers family to heart, and because the physical world they live in now can be so dangerous, he will do anything to make keep said friends safe. He's extremely faithful to his family, and is willing to risk his life for them.

He's also easily motivated by emotion. Rather empathetic by nature, sometimes seeing even neutral acquaintances in distress can push him to exact revenge upon their enemies. He doesn't lust for death or brutality, but he hates the idea of innocent people suffering and will go to lengths to help.

Neither a protagonist or antagonist, he's on many different sides of the story depending on the circumstances at hand. He aids in TyV's revenge after he had lost an eye, against Leon. He defends Maggie no matter the cause because he feels like the world is always against her. He personally seeks out the thieves that steal Hannah's van, simply because her and her team's panicked state moved him enough to do so.

It's also just kind of easy to provoke him. For better or for worse. He's generally a calm and collected guy, but when challenged or aggressed, he fights back hard. He's got quick hands, barreled fingers with shots ready to fire at a moment's notice. He's not afraid to throw a punch either, and he's rather agile too. And once he's in a fight, it's hard to get him to stop. He'll only back down once hes won, if he feels truly beaten, or if his foe's emotional state is too much for him to bear.

When he's not being a brawling little hitman-goose though, he really likes traveling, dabbles in arts such as writing (he likes writing about his experiences a lot), painting (from reference most often), and trying out the fascinating musical instruments this world has to offer. Specifically he really likes hand drums. He's also rather social, though he likes to put up a front like he isn't, and loves exchanging stories with others.

A lot of the time when I draw him, you really only see his serious side when he's working/busy being a broody hitman. But he's kinda just an empathetic sweetheart deep down. Cares a lot and stuff.

When it comes to his friends, Maggie, TyV and Uppsulka are probably his closest ones, with other mimes like Caela, Ching, Chickenstab and Rede being some of his more casual friends. He also befriends some of the friendliest of the living like Tim and Rachel, and even Samantha to a degree-- a person most mimes absolutely despise by default. Her being upset and confused by her inherited problems of the future was easily enough to convince El Ganso that she doesn't deserve the flack she gets from all the other mimes.

He is often strongly opposed to the more needlessly hostile people in the story. He doesn't work well with Jarna or Holly, and while he still considers Rede a friend, it is a rocky relationship due to Rede's complete carelessness for other's suffering. El Ganso also greatly dislikes Debbie, Gary, and April and their problem causing attitudes.

A few other small, unrelated things about him... He's kind of an easy blusher. He's got bad volume control, either always a little too quiet or a little too loud, no real in between. He can spin his spurs like a saw, much like Caela and her skirt (and Caela's way into it!). In puppet, he can chew through extremely tough materials like wet paper. He is one of the few mimes who actually enjoys & indulges in sleeping. He likes giving gifts, is ecstatic when he learns what celebration cards are. Much like Holly & french, El Ganso will speak specifically spanish from time to time, despite the fact that all mimes can speak universally without a language barrier.

He is my silly goose.

#im fallin asleep writing this so late. sorry for any grammatical issues #i hope I touched on enough to satiate your need for el ganso knowledge #to touch a little extra on that last bit about universal speech just in case that's confusing at all-- #mimes essentially do not speak a specific language #they simply communicate verbally in a way that is understood by anyone regardless of language #it is just written as English bc thats just my primary language SBDBFBF #like if a mime were speaking to two people at once- of two different tongues- their speech would be understood by both regardless #but mimes like holly and el ganso will just choose to speak specifically french or spanish #and unless you know the language you are not gonna be understanding it #anyway. #brambleramble #hes still a character thats being figured out bc hes so new #but i like where he's at :3

I'd love to travel to Argentina and maybe even stay a while and travel through different regions

#I know the political situation atm is a bit tense but I know that previously it has established some very liberal lgbt laws #I love the accent #And I'm interested in the history and culture #I'd love to see everything from Buenos Aires to the pampas and tierra del fuego #See the Spanish speaking Welsh speaking and Yiddish speaking communities
