#native tongues

[shinsources]

I think a lot of us forget that English isn't always the first language people know. Heck ... more often than not it's a person's second, third, or even fourth language. And even if/when English is our first language, it's still a hard language to deal with in its entirety.

With that being said, if English isn't your first language would you kindly state in your tags what is your first language and where English falls in terms of learning? Heck, even if English is your first language do you know any other languages? I just want to see what people have to say.

"Herzchen, stop that," Villain frowns, dodging the car that flies right over their head. "That asshat needs to die, you know that better than anyone."

"The fuck did you just call me?" Hero catches a piece of debris mid-air, stopping it from crushing the man shaking on the ground. Pathetic. "That asshat is still a governmental official. You can't just kill him off."

"It means idiot in my mother tongue," Villain makes another attempt to crush the corrupt judge, failing when the Hero covers the aforementioned asshat with their own body. "He let a serial killer go!"

"I know that!" Hero screams at the top of their lungs, pissed off both at Villain and the judge. The latter deserved every torture Villain could inflict on them. Hero couldn't deny that. "Killing him won't fix it."

"It will if his successor knows what happened to him." They weren't wrong, though Hero would never admit to it. But they needed Villain's reputation to be clean of murder. Ever since they had agreed to collaborate in ensuring safety for the city. Villain's official reason was their desire to be the sole criminal of the city. Hero knew they wanted a safe place for their little sister, that now lived with them. And Hero would have less work to do, making it a win-win situation.

"Let me deal with this, okay?" Hero requests, gracing Villain with their pleading puppy eyes. Always works.

"Ugh, do whatever you want, just stop looking at me like that!" They exclaim, taking a step back. "You're disgusting."

Hero shakes their head to keep a smile from forming on their face when they hear a whimper from behind them. Ugh, the asshat. 

"I have no idea what you did to him, but I applaud you,Herzchen" Villain smirks, striding towards the edge of the roof. Hero shrugs, placing a hand over their eyes to cover them from the sun. "I heard he got arrested."

"Sure did," Hero is smug, and they know it. "Told ya, let me deal with it."

"Killing him would still be more effective," they claim, no longer hiding their grin. Hero nods, getting up to continue their nightly patrol.

"Next time you feel inclined for homicide, call me first?" They step off the building but remain floating in front of Villain. "I might convince you to stop."

Villain watches the streets beneath their feet, lights blurry because of how tired their eyes are. "If there's anyone who can do that, it's you, Herzchen." They whisper, part of them hoping the wind will conceal their words from their rival's acute hearing. It does not.

"Stop calling me that!" Hero's exasperation brings an unwanted smile to Villain's face, so they shake their head standing up to leave the meeting point before it forms on their face. 

"It's not "idiot", is it? That thing you keep calling me." Hero's voice almost drowns in the wind. They know Villain won’t tell them. They also know that they won’t be able to sleep today. That’s what they get for crushing on the ‘enemy’.

Villain freezes in place, a soft smirk fighting its way onto their face before they leap into the darkness. "’Course not."

“It’s hard to overstate the impact that De La Soul had on hip-hop music, and particularly what would come to be known as “alternative” hip-hop music, a category that De La has a decent claim to having straight-up invented.”

Jack Hamilton at Slate. De La Soul’s Trugoy Is Dead, and With Him Goes One of Music’s Greatest Groups

Their first four albums could go up against just about anyone’s.

David Jude Jolicoeur  (September 21, 1968 – February 12, 2023)

It's almost that time, and you know you don't wanna "hear" about it, after-the-fact? Aug. 5th is right around the block, for "Rock The Bells Festival"! Get your tix here. Y'all see this line-up?!? Especially for hip-hop's 50th anniversary, man what's a better way than to celebrate with royalty, right? Grab your rope-necks, suede pumas, Kangol (& vinyl if they let you slide it in)! And we're destined to see some surprise guests, pls don't front! 🙌🏾
