As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:
- Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.
- Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”
- Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.
- Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.
- Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.
- Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.
- Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”
Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”
Who the fuck is that thing tolling for
[trying to insult a person's dog-like devotion to someone but not wanting to make them sound too cool about it] keep your fucking dog in a purse
real shame people don't take advantage of polyamory more for shipping. everyone deserves to have 20 wives personally speaking
seeing someone use she/her on canon male character is like seeing the sun shine thru the clouds btw
my pronouns are they/he/it/the/fucking/pentagon
Part 4
yeah, i um.... forgot I was collecting these for a while.
are you fuckin dumb
i dont know what prompted this but yes i promise so much
lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post
i do sort of wish plurality was even a fraction as understood irl as it is online, even just as an explanation for things. like, i really wish it was acceptable to say oh, i forgot that because you didnt actually tell me, you told <person who was fronting at the time> and they didnt pass it on. or oh, we slept upstairs because <headmate> is scared of our room and the trauma they remember. or, we're interested in "childish" things even though we're an adult because we have alot of syskids. its just frustrating to have to come up with random lies and excuses when theres a far simplier, and in my opinion more reasonable, answer, just because that answer happens to be plurality.
Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.
No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.
No look I get it. You’ve got your evil plan, you’ve gotta get me out of the way but you also want to see me suffer as I watch the world burn, I know. But like, I’m not into this. Sexually or otherwise. Wait, you thought I was doing this because I liked you? I’m trying to stop you from using a death laser. No I don’t think death lasers are sexy what on earth are you talking about
Wait. That’s why you dress like that? I thought that armor was impractical. No I don’t find our relationship to be homoerotic I find it to be tedious. Look, man. We all keep trying to get you into therapy. No I’m not kink shaming you I’m saying you’ve completely misinterpreted this relationship. I actually do think you should answer for your war crimes. Yes, really. No you’re the one not listening to me in this situation. Yes that is the alarm the others will have cut all your wires and called in the fbi by now.
What do you mean you thought we had something special? I have other enemies. You’re not the only one. No I’m not doing kinky things with them either I blow up their nefarious devices. Speaking of which, you might want to move like… ten feet to your right.
No, enemies to enemies. And then still enemies.
Cannot stress enough how lovers will never be part of this equation even a little bit
The henchmen in the tags who have been assuring the villain since the beginning that “of course he likes you back, why else would he keep coming to destroy your death lasers”
The henchmen have been reading too many romance novels.
Awfully defensive are we? I think the henchmen are onto something.
You know I didn’t intend for this character I made up to be aromantic but this whole post has turned into being arospec at a family reunion simulator
Enemies to Queerplatonic
People out here throwing "queerplatonic" at aros like people who substitute AFAB/AMAB for woman/man and think the new language means they're magically not being transphobic
You can't just throw a new word into an old idea and pretend you've changed your mindset
Enemies to No Contact Restraining Order
how long have you been alive
they keep me trapped in a gem most of the time so i think 20 or 100000 years
