Love the thought of Leo just casually being well traveled to absurd degrees. Like one day they’re facing their new Big Bad of the year and like, Draxum or whoever says that the key to their fight is located somewhere in, like, Latvia or some place, but no one knows where to start.

Then Leo’s like “oh I know a place” and when asked how the heck he could know of one it smash cuts to Leo falling through the ceiling of said place due to a portal mishap.

Also love the idea of Leo, being as accidentally (and then later, purposefully) well traveled as he is, sometimes taking his family on outings to different places all over, maybe to some new Yokai spots he found along the way.

In these places, Leo 100% lets his bros get scammed by tourist traps.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #bro was so excited about buying stuff that he didn’t realize it was a scam until too late #so now he’s super sus of all that BUT super willing to laugh at his fam for making the same mistake #anyway yeah I love Leo being well traveled because it honestly makes sense? why NOT use your teleportation to travel if you can do it fast #all his portal mishaps in the series as well as that time he accidentally went to Paris (+ once a diff dimension?) live in my head rent free #Leo destroying the stall of some random family’s restaurant in Paraguay and having to work it off the rest of the summer #he’s just like ‘hey guys I’m heading out’ but doesn’t mention it’s for a part time job in a different country #he only knows like English and Spanish BUT he’s picked up on a lot of other languages too due to his misadventures #tho he mostly knows a whole lot of various swear words #leo about to tease donnie for getting banned from witch town only to remember HE’S banned from a place in Turkey: 😬#he keeps trying to find where he accidentally put his brothers in Tahiti but he can’t find it and he’s so salty about it lol

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

I really do hope that someday parents stop thinking their kids should learn English first, or really any local language, instead of their native tongue when living somewhere

My abuelito didn't learn Spanish first when he was young because his parents didn't want him to grow up "troubled", and so he never fully learned Spanish. And when they died, he ended up forgetting how to speak it at all! He couldn't teach it to my mom, and so my mom couldn't teach it to me, and so much of the culture that we would've had is gone because of that

It's so, SO incredibly important to have sole sort of connection to your family's culture, even just through language, especially when you live in an area where it's extremely lacking!! That entire side of my family has been feeling that disconnect for so long, and my mom has been trying to make up for it by learning every traditional dish she can because learning an entire language is so difficult for her at her age

Please don't think that your kids, or that you yourself, should learn the local most spoken language because it will be "easier." It's just going to make you grieve that connection you could've had

#obviously everyone's experiences can be different #i just know what mine is #visiting CA and seeing the HUGE amounts of mexican culture was INSANE for me #it was my first time ever seeing an advertisement fully in spanish #it was wild #ive learned a lot of spanish now and im going to join my mom in learning traditional dishes #but it still sucks knowing i didnt have it from the start and that i never really will u know #languages #culture #english

Omg idk if you talk Spanish or if it’s just XXC, but with that little and wonderful doodle you gave me the amazing headcanon of XXC being bilingual and just randomly speaking Spanish out of nowhere and nobody understanding him

[TL: XXC says "don't do coke in the bathroom"]

Shout out to the Spanish speaking MXTX fans. I don't think this is remotely what you wanted. (bonus below cut, TW: Drugs)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xiao xingchen #xue yang #Ask #bonus comic #I'm not confident enough in my Spanish to really integrate bilingual XXC into the comic #but I love the enthusiasm and there are at least two ppl leaving spanish tags on my comics so...its soft canon here.#if spanish speakers want to throw good spanish memes at me for xxc I will do my best B*)#Maybe he transmigrated and tried to turn the tides of the story but met a even worse fate....#I like to think he teaches Song Lan Spanish to have a secret language like the SVSSS transmigrators with (broken) English.#The bonus joke here is that it doesn't matter what language the sign is in. XY can't read. He has severe dyslexia #Its not even real coke its just sugar. He's about to have a dreadful time. But the TW is just for the visuals #EDIT: THE QUEUE BROKE and I was outside with my hands in the dirt digging (around) tubers for my mum's garden. So i didn't notice #Happy Mother's day! To the mums and those without one this year <3

english teacher Mike Wheeler who comes across as this Serious Intimidating and pretentious jerk until you discover he's just a nerd who all the Troubled and 'Difficult' kids surprisingly love and look up to. No one knows how he does it. (he was, once, that angry troubled teen).

art teacher Will Byers who absolutely every student loves. You cannot hate him. Queer kids are especially drawn to him and he's the best at reassuring them and helping them feel comfortable and safe. He's always followed by at least two or three students and he gets the most notes, gifts and hand-made crafts during holidays.

and yes they're married

#byler #mike wheeler #will byers #this hc is so Special to me as a teacher #this has been in my mind for a LONG time now #but i was reminded of it as i looked at my most recent drive files....#bc it's like: class planning. Gay Mike Wheeler analysis number 4. english test I. Fic recs. The Wheeler's analysis.#and im like. okay yeah this actually makes sense as an spanish teacher (english equivalent) who's also autistic #suddenly my longass analysis make sense. it's both the autism and the language/literature teacher in me

‘you’re a hater’ yeah i am, i hate disrespect and i hate people thinking being rude is ok, to mask your ignorance with disabilities that would never make you think that you know more than me just because you’re a white, cis, straight american man. you are annoying and bigoted, that is why i hate you. i wouldn’t trust my daughter with you and you make everyone uncomfortable with your opinions and actions, you make my friends leave a room you entered. i’m not a hater, i just hate you.

#this goes out to that one fuckass guy that won’t leave me and my friends alone and told me to shut up when i was speaking to my friend #he also told me tortilla with an american accent is just how it’s called in english #no it isn’t it’s a spanish word i think i’d know more as someone who grew up around that culture and language #i hate him!!#tw vent #cw vent #vent post

#do you guys ever think about how fucking cool the qsmp is #and how its united people from all different places who never even would have met in the first place #and not just the content creators themselves. the fans too #i have beloved mutuals whom i never would have crossed paths with without qsmp. because of language barriers and stuff #i just think its so fucking cool.#and like. ive spent years watching english and spanish mcyt content but i never really FELT like part of a community like i do with the qsmp #idfk man im so sick and feeling over emotional #i just think quackity made something so special #and like. obviously this fanbase has some problems and stuff and im not ignoring that i just.#i love my mutuals and its so cool how our mutual love of silly cubitos has created a community like ours #qsmp #sorry im raving and insane im feverish and wretched and have been lying in bed sick all day

The noises I make and the thoughts I have when I think of these two are not sth I’m gonna acknowledge but. BUT. I CAN’T AND MAY NEVER TAKE THEM OUT OF MY ROTTEN AND OBSESSED LITTLE MIND 🥹🎀

#just girl thoughts #true detective #true detective season 01 #rustin cohle #rust x marty #martin hart #I want them equally #both are my baby girl #but mostly rust #rewatching this because it’s my comfort zone #I’m dying for writing a fic with them but I still can’t decide the language #like I want to write in Spanish #but I feel it would be more challenging in English #but easier in Spanish #AAAHHH. fuck me

i can't stop thinking about that my literature teacher today told us that a lot of people (including my class) was loosing the ability of reading comprehension and he has a really strong point

i feel like more and more people take the words more literally, not really stopping to imagine and try to comprehend the meaning behind them. Not all words will mean the same or be used in a literal way

You, as a reader, have to imagine the scene and try to put in place the word and its meaning to fit in a logic way into a specific action or dialoge

#i talk #this works for both english and spanish literature #i've seen this mostly in spanish cuz thats the language that i use the most #and maybe the reason is that theres a lot of words that have more than one meaning #i've been seeing it mostly in fanfics and the few book reviews that i haven read in english too #the point here is that there's the risk that next generations would loose this ability and that has me thinking a lot #like the fact that this is starting to significantly affect my own generation

Fact of the week.

A funny thing that happens to Latin Assassin's Creed players when the game is dubbed in Spanish in Spain is the following...

In Assassin's Creed 2, where Ezio has the option to taunt in the middle of a fight, he says the following: "A qué no te animas a cojerme" and "Ven a cojerme".

A Spaniard interprets it as: "Why don't you dare to catch me" or "Come and get me".

But for Latinos "cojer" has another meaning... So every time I play with Ezio and I play that option, what I hear is "Why don't you dare to fuck me?" or "Come and fuck me"

.... Thank you very much for your attention, you can keep scrolling down.

#assassin's creed #assassin's creed ii #ezio auditore #“cojer” in spanish is “Catch/take”#But for Latinos it means “fuck/sex”#I don't know why #but that's how my language works #Sorry for my English #I use translator lol

I wouldn't know how to explain it but I feel like we are so close to getting hirano to finally realize that he is in love with kagiura, like, I feel like we will be getting it in two or three more chapters although I'm more inclined to think that it will happen in two more chapters

I think that in that next we are going see him at least considering talking to someone about al these sensations and thoughts that he has been having since chapter 20 and that his main options are going to be hanzawa or ichinose (but I can also see him considering Sasaki since he doesn't know much of kagi apart from him being hirano's roommate and being part of the basketball club)

I kind of considered him talking with miyano since a lot of his progress in that matter have come from him talking about his bl manga, but like, miyano its considerably biased when it comes to shiping kagihira, and like even if he was going to give a no biased opinion on the matter, I think that hirano wouldn't consider miyano bc he know he ships them

Im considering ichinose as the more likely option bc in recent chapters we have been like getting to know him better, like getting to know more about him apart from the fact that he was hirano's roommate before kagiura, but I'm also considering hanzawa bc I feel like they are very close and that like hirano trusts him a lot with his opinions and suggestions.

KIND OF A SPOILER

I have to admit that one of my reasons to think that we will be getting that feelings realization in 2 or 3 more chapters is that, I feel like the kghr extras that we get in sasamiya are teasing this, especially the one from vol 10 were they are kind of referencing to the ring that we saw in previous extras without mentioning it

Edit: I will correct myself, they ARE referring to it directly, I was so excited hyping so much for this extra that I didn't see that ring being listed in the panel where hirano asks kagi which accesorie he wants hirano to remove

Like here first of all, the hand were we saw the ring, bc someone mentioned one time that since the extra where miyano notices the ring in hirano's hand we haven't seen much of that hand bc he either has it in his pocket or hidden by something else, and like we can even see it here, he is taking his hand out of his pocket but since he is being drawn so tiny and the hand looks so blurry we can't see the ring.

And second of all, them talking about all the jewelry that hirano uses, kagiura protesting, according to the dialogue bc hirano looks very flashy but I think that he is also complaining bc he wants the jewelry that he has gifted hirano to stand out, and like, this leads to a pair of panels of hirano going like "i like all my accesories" and an implicit "including the ones i got from you", and like i know that the panel is showing the earings, but I feel that this is also referencing to the ring.

And like, I feel like we are being very teased about that ring, and that makes me think that we are near a "hirano finally realizes that he is in love with kagiura)

#hirano to kagiura #kagihira #hirano taiga #kagiura akira #help i dont know anyone that i could talk to about hirano to kagiura #and thas making me go insane #i need someone to ramble to #i apologize if a didn't make sense #english its not my first language #i dont think i would have made more sense in spanish #estoy tan pendeja que creo que aun si hubiera escrito todo esto en español habria sido confuso de leer

Actually interesting tidbit re: your languages comic! In game it’s implied that Kazuichi can speak/read English bc he reads a sign in English to Hajime! Although I always kind of just imagined he picked it up from watching TV/Movies and isn’t super fluent

Yeah lots of ppl pointed that out and admittedly I plain forgot. But i do think it makes sense that he taught himself through manuals and the internet, so he's better at reading it than most, but when it comes to listening to (the hurried, limp, molasses-like American) English that's where he fumbles. Seeing the words makes sense, hearing eybuddyowyadowein is another. Also being HoH post-game doesnt help.

#not an art #Listen. I'm very fluent in English it's my second language. But the way you Speak vs Write is fuckinfg worlds apart okay #I come from a very straight-forward pronunciation language (like japanese!) and its SO different.#Same with Spanish just for the pure Speed of it. Can I guesstimate some spanish written word? Yea! Can I HEAR shit? No.

Es loco porque yo miro ese evento [los Oscar] con mucha perspectiva por mi propia historia, por la lejanía que hay entre ser un actor de Uruguay y asistir a esa gala. No existe un precedente. Desde esa dimensión tan remota, me sentí como un espía, como si realmente no fuera parte.

It's crazy because I look at that event [the Oscars] with a lot of perspective for my own story, because there's no precedent with being an actor from Uruguay and attending that gala. I felt like an intruder, like I didn't really belong.
