#maybe its the accent

[puppyeared]

learned something about myself lately

#i dont think its even the fact almost all my characters are somewhat beasts in one way or another. i just #really like tails and wish i had one myself #and then my oc designs are a little tame theyre mostly human shaped with animal features. but they always have tails #my eyes have recently been opened to the appeal of long whiplike unicorn tails.. so flowy and curly #something about the tuft at the end being long and swirly just does something for me.. #maybe it would make sense to change auggies tail shape so it looks like a meteor. her design is mainly pink with hot pink accent #so it would be cool to use that and orange to make it look like a fire meteor.. maybe itll help complement the blue/green in her design #head full of ocs today so expect a ramble later #if i had a tail i think it would be long with a kink. so it kind of folds over once but not in a curl #when it wags its kind of a swaying motion. i have thought about this a normal amount #yapping

I just had two different thoughts (that's twice as many as usual!) :

What if Ghost decided to learn how to speak Gàidhlig as a surprise for his Johnny only to have him look at him awkwardly because "sorry LT, I only know a few words of Gàidhlig, my native language is Scots...."

".... So I can't call you maw rye?"

"..... Is... Is that mo ghràidh?"

"So you do know Gaelic!"

"I said I knew a few words!"

Or, what if it was a bad day, Soap is already feeling a bit distraught, stuck in his head, emotional, irritable, he has difficulty focusing (more than usual) and he can feel a headache coming. Remarks, teases, that he usually lets slide with a joke seem to cut him, deeper and deeper with each one.

Ghost doesn't notice. No one does. Because Soap does his best to not be a bother.

But then, Soap is talking about something he likes back home and Ghost cracks his usual "speak English" joke. But this time Soap freezes.

He wants to say "I'm sorry I'm speaking my native language, that your people, to this day, are trying to eradicate and ridicule", wants to lash out, be mean, but he doesn't.

He just smiles a little, without his eyes, and tells everyone that he's going to bed. Because he knows that it's not fair to now be mad about something he usually jokes about. Deep down he knows that Ghost doesn't mean it like that, that it's their little inside joke.

But it doesn't keep him from crying in his pillow.

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #simon ghost riley #ghostsoap #soapghost #meanwhile ghost is panicking #he hadn't seen the signs beforehand but now it's not like he can miss them #he hurt his johnny and he doesn't know what to do #gaz tells him that it's maybe because some recruits heard them once and started joking as well #that soap speaking scots was just slang - just an accent - and that it was weird #that he should just speak english normally #they felt in their rights to do so because lieutenant riley was agreeing or at least they thought he was #and in the beginning soap just scoffed at them and made them run more laps but eventually it started to weigh on him #but he hadn't wanted price or ghost to know so he asked gaz to not tell #but now gaz felt like it had gone a bit out of hand and clearly has impacted soap more than he let out #ghost is furious - with the recruits and he demands their names - but first and foremost with himself #because he should have noticed #he should have told soap that his joking about his language came from the fact that he knew scots was its own language #and it was why he told him to speak english #but for now the problem was resolved with some tea (“fucking brits”) & cuddling & simon lending him his noise cancelling headphones #because he was very overwhelmed & gentle kisses on his forehead #the next day soap feels better and apologizes - which ghost refuses - and eventually the jokes come back #but just between them because they know they don't mean it

So I'm watching the Great Gatsby movie (the 2013 Baz Luhrman one because I love it a lot), and Leonardo DiCaprio says "sport" weird it goes back and forth between "spohwrt" "spahwt"

#the great gatsby #great gatsby #great gatsby (2013) #baz luhrmann #leonardo dicaprio #i know leo DiCaprio is a creep but he does make a good Gatsby #maybe thats why #i was gonna say that gatsby is only kind of a creep but like he did stalk a married woman and bought a house across the bay so he could #watch her. Creep behavior if you ask me. #anyways this adaptation is shockingly really accurate. like there are a lot of oarts that are word for word #this ismy first time watching it after reading the book and its interesting #anyways idk if its the accent hes putting or if thats just how he talks but its weird

[vhstown]

sometimes i forget english isn't technically my first language and that phrasing is hard for me for a reason 😭

#i learnt english from tv shows as a kid #so i had an american/canadian accent growing up #but my english is defo better than my bangla #maybe its cause i complain a lot and complaining is easier in bangla lol #but i do b speaking banglish... #vee chats

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

started another file and got two really terrible pairs of siblings. arent they pretty :)

BONUS I MARRIED ONE OF EM I LOVE U FOREVER PINKNIGO 🫶🩷

#ann plays awakening #the great thing about the gay hack is that if i make most of them siblings #it cuts my grinding in half!! #anyways i absolutely started a new file to marry pink inigo like i wont even bother hiding that #but i figured while im here i might as while try out some other pairings #i have the rest of them written down i just need to. yk. grind em out #another time though #in case you havent noticed by now awakening is really just my fun family simulator #its fun for me #something i didnt expect though was that cordelia!owain looks REALLY good #i didnt expect that but his hair + his red accents??? HELLO?? #and ik u can make him ginger in the base game but no one really matches cordelia red yk #sully could work actually but that’s still not a vanilla game thing #also cordelia lets him have full access to the VVW combo which is excellent #severa unfortunately misses out on wrath but thats alright #she’s really pretty with lissa’s hair. maybe she got the pigtails from mom

[dolokhoded]

maybe i'm just greek but it's so weird to me when people get so upset over the ACCENTS in shows being transferred from broadway to the west end or to australia changing like ???? literally who fucking cares it's the same music and the same words these are just people's accents people have different accents in real life outside of having to fake them for theatre sorry <3

#🧅 #hadestown uk right now. SIX BWAY that was insane why were yall so pissed about that #like truly who cares idk maybe i just cant understand it but its just so stupid to me. #i cannot grasp why yall care so much it makes ZERO difference #and if the pronounciation of certain words in different accents changes the rhythm or the rhyme then they literally just keep it the way it #was theyre not stupid they adapt #WHAT DID IRISH ORPHEUS DO TO YOU ??? #like. especially hadestown if youre so pressed about it im gonna come in and say that actually theyre all greek so they should sing in gree #accents. for accuracy. sorry ! #''six has to be in british accents because its british history :((('' half of them were not even from england

@feralreason ❤’d!

[For a while now, Nanashi had doubted the accuracy of Cassidy's fuzzy memories. Purple men weren't exactly...common. As far as Nanashi knew, they didn't exist. He'd suggested that maybe her killer had just been wearing purple -- a suggestion he regretted when Cassidy then wanted to assault anyone wearing that color. The only way to calm her then was to remind her that they weren't British, nor did their voices remind her of her killer in the slightest. He'd been making progress with her, but curbing her violent impulses had always been near-impossible.]

[So today, when Nanashi actually SAW a man matching Cassidy's description of "a guy with purple skin," he felt Cassidy tug his limbs forward; he fought against it, but he stepped forcefully in the aubergine man's direction. A fire that didn't belong to him burned in his eyes. She insisted that this man HAD to be him, and frankly, Nanashi found little reason to disagree. Until today, he'd been sure that she was imagining the hue of his skin...weird.]

[Still, Nanashi painstakingly wrested control of himself from her. His violent glare dissipated, his limbs no longer tense, his stance no longer battle-ready.]

❝ Calm down, kid. We don't know that for sure. ❞ [She spat at this idea -- again, Nanashi couldn't blame her -- but he insisted on double-checking.] ❝ Let's just talk to him. You said his voice stood out. If this is your guy, then we'll... ❞ [Do something unsavory that he couldn't whisper to himself about. Not in public, anyway.] ❝ Y'know. ❞

[This finally pacified her. Nanashi got closer to the stranger, only to realize that he bore some painfully familiar scars. He felt at the ones on his neck; there was no way that they were both killed and brought back like that, right? There had to be a rational explanation, one that he'd only figure out if he actually worked up the nerve to speak. Just don't think about it.]

❝ Uh...hi.❞ [Okay, so maybe in all of the chaos, he'd forgotten that he needed to make conversation. He cleared his throat, reaching for a viable topic.] ❝ So...the whole "purple" thing. What's up with that? ❞

[Okay, this was the worst subject he could have ever come up with. Hopefully it wouldn't matter -- he just needed this guy to talk.]

#feralreason #feralreason; 001 #🍀 |v| revenge is sweet. (015.) |v| 🍀 #{ waiting for nanashi to talk to this man; realize he has a brooklyn accent; and be like ''oh yeah this guy didn't kill you- } #{ -he's not british.'' FKJSDJKFSD } #{ also god fuck i just realized they are both orphans. nanashi just has a good adoptive family unlike william... } #{ not me crying over nanashi calling cassidy ''kid'' too bc its a reversal of dagda doing the same... } #{ ok maybe they both also have awful father figures but nanashi's only exists in his source material sdkgsdfsd;;; }

question, do you guys also read dialogues aloud and act them out when reading fiction?

#its something ive always done but i just verbalised it for the first time and realised probably not everyone does that #i get really intense w it if the characters crying i cry i learn the accents to put on them i sometimes imitate the actions #🤔🤔🤔🤔 maybe not normal. unsure.
