#it’d be cool to be fluent in Spanish and to use it for things besides basic questions at my job

[andhumanslovedstories]

Does anyone have advice for getting over the embarrassment of speaking a language you aren’t good at with other people? I’ve studied Spanish, I know a little bit of Spanish, I am trying to learn more Spanish specifically for healthcare providers, but when I’m faced with an actual primarily Spanish speaking patient at my job, I get so nervous and tongue tied I’m like “maybe ‘buenos noches actually means I’m gonna kill you with morphine….i better stick entirely to English.” I know it’s the embarrassment! I don’t wanna sound stupid! And because so many of my patients understand a little English, I can usually muddle thru basic conversations relying on them. Which sucks! I feel bad about that! I’m like “I don’t want to talk in a language I’m not fluent in, so I’ll make them talk in a language I’m not fluent in.”

Also to be clear, this is all for stuff like “do you need the bathroom” or “do you want a pepsi from the kitchen.” I will always use an interpreter for anything more complicated than basic needs. But it’s a pain in the ass to use the interpreter ipad, and no one likes it, including the patients. It’d be nice to use it less and to be able to have more of a rapport with my patients. The foundation of my whole nursing practice is casual small talk with patients to learn more about them and their needs, and my Spanish speaking patients don’t get that.

(Neither do my patients who speak Russian or Taishanese or Vietnamese or but like. I don’t expect myself to learn every language in the world. Right now I just want to learn the language I theoretically kinda learned.)

I’ve been really working on pushing myself to try to speak more Spanish, at least a little bit, but I just have this mental block that I can’t push thru. It’s like all the social anxiety I’ve learned to otherwise cope with or moved on from settled entirely in my insecurity about my language skills. It’s nuts. Then I feel guilty about it which makes the block bigger which I feel guilty about, do you see the pattern here. Has anyone have any advice or resources? Not just for learning the language—I would also really appreciate those—but specifically dealing with this language embarrassment?

Sorry not sorry I’m a curious simp

Oki, wow, this is a lot, aight lets do this lmao :)

Yellow: Name of an artist you think is underappreciated

oh god idk, hmm, @bigeloo? Idk im in a ninjago discord with them and sometimes they send their art there and its really cool

Cyan: Are you Religious? Spiritual?

I was raised Catholic but im now Agnostic (meaning I don’t know if theres a God or any Gods and im not gonna pretend to know)

Violet: Are you a part of the Lgbt+ community?

Yup :) Im nonbinary, im asexual, and i might be panromantic, or demiromamtic, im not sure, still questioning on that part tbh

Black: Would you ever try going vegetarian or vegan?

Im currently vegetarian, tho I dont care if yall eat meat or whatever, im lucky to be in a situation where I can be vegetarian and I completely understand that some ppl can’t or just don’t want to, besides, theres way bigger problems on this earth right now than wether people eat meat or not. I doubt i’ll ever go vegan, because cheese and chocolate is very tasty, but maybe someday when the vegan substitutes for those things improve, then maybe I might :)

Gray: How many Languages Do you speak? Do you want to learn more?

Mostly English, and very minimal French and Spanish from school. I’ve tried to learn Japanese before too from like duolingo, so i know a little bit of that, and I made myself memorise how to say ‘sorry, I don’t speak much of [insert language], do you speak English?’ in a few languages for if I ever end up traveling there before learning to speak the language. But im only really like fluent in English lol

Claret: Do you play an instrument? do you want to learn to play any?

I did piano lessons for about a year until quarantine and I’ve learnt a few songs from those youtube tutorials, but other than that I dont know any. It would be cool to do singing lessons, because unfortunately I am a little bit of a theatre kid and would love to randomly start singing ‘Michael in the bathroom’ from Be More Chill

Penny: Icecream or cake?

Both are poggers, probably icecream, but oh my fsm, my Mom makes the best cakes ever, she could do it professionally, they are so nice, yall have no idea

Ash: Can you do your own makeup?

Yeah, i love doing makeup, i once tried to have a makeup instagram account, it didnt go too well (i quit after about a month) but i still love doing it as a hobby :) (im actually trying to do makeup less at the moment though, it was making me a little bit dysphoric, but as an occasional thing, like being a drag queen, its great!)

Jade: Ever written fanfiction?

Yeah, mostly just one shots and little drabbles though, and I haven’t in a while, might start doing stuff again soon, maybe, idk

Pecan: Shuffle your playlist, what’s the first song that comes up

It was this: https://youtu.be/DGTDcZxs0ww (“Sub Urban- Cradles (slowed)”)

Wine: do you have a ‘type’?

Kinda debatable,, most/all the people I’ve dated have had similar vibes, but wether I actually liked any of them is a different question 😳😳😳

Cherry: youtubers you enjoy watching

Maybe Jessie Paege? Or Pm Seymour? To be honest, most of my youtube recommendations are somehow tiktok compilations, because my tiktok fyp has always been really weird so instead of actually using tiktok on the app i use it via youtube

Ginger: any sideblogs?

yeah and im embarrassed of them, yall will never know 😳

wait theres one yall can know about, i have the url “Wohira” but I’ve never like posted anything there

Rust: form of art you enjoy doing?

As well as makeup which i mentioned before, theres also digital art, which i do the most often :)

Honey: your thoughts on magic? Does it exist?

I think it’d be very cool if it did, and i hope it does? Like ive never seen magic stuff ofc, and i have my doubts that its real, but it sounds fun so like idk, maybe it is? I’d like to believe it is?

Frost: a -core you enjoy

Looking at the aesthetics wiki, i think maybe mostly bloomcore?

Coconut: a subject you enjoy learning about

Psychology, its all really interesting and i wish they taught it at my school, because where I am you have to take it as an option that only starts in 11th grade (currently in 9th grade)

Fulvous: another name you think would suit you?

Buddy im still trying to find one, im currently going by Rae and that seems nice maybe? but oh my god ive used like 20 names before now and not a single one of them seemed right lmao

Mauve: any unpopular oppinions?

I probably have a few, but i can’t think of them off the top of my head, and im not really looking for discourse,, so,,, no?

Erin: What Was/Is your best school subject

Ive already answered this one, i’ll copy/paste it? Oki so

Maybe maths? Or art? Tho honestly, none of my grades are consistent and I can go from an A to an Ungraded and back again in a heartbeat 😎 (and not even an F, an ungraded, like they litterally cant grade it its so bad lmao 🤩✨) I think it depends more on what teacher i have for the lesson and how tired I am on the day of any tests more than subject itself? If that makes sense lol

And its done! Heck yeah! :)

Just a Crush

Introducing a short, fluffy one-sided Five/Miko drabble I wrote without really thinking about it! Also on ao3!

_________________________________________________________

Her hands were soft.

Five had expected them to be rough, calloused through battle but he supposed swinging a hammer made of pixels didn't have the same effect as swinging a legitimate one.

Her nails were left blank, not a single trace of polish to be found much unlike her sister's. Not that he'd expected her to be the kind of girl that bothered with that stuff, much too entranced in gaming and besides, Five figured Miko had her hands full maintaining the color in her hair anyway. If she didn't dye that stuff at least once every two months, he called sorcery.

It was a slow day, and Five had managed to get his partner out of her boredom dance long enough for her to take refuge sitting at the small round table across from him. Sure, he'd had to keep her distracted with his Hinobi Portable but the array of classics in his game library had kept her pliant for the time being, and somewhere along the way Five had ended up with her hand trapped between both of his. Just….playing.

It was calming, in a way. Tracing her fingers with his own, not a care in the world as he absentmindedly toyed with the one hand she'd kept free because 'Look, Five! Watch me beat this level one-handed!' because of course she would.

Miko tended to fall asleep whenever someone messed with her hair. Five had figured that one out after she'd dropped dead on his lap after just two minutes of him running his fingers across her scalp. She'd passed out with just as much energy as she carried; Five hadn't even realized it'd happened until he'd felt her weight on his legs and by the time he had, his abuela had walked in on the scene with the biggest knowing expression she could've possibly had.

It had certainly been an...experience explaining why his gaming buddy was fast asleep on top of him in his room while he'd supposedly only called her over to play the latest Smash Bros. But eh, people were bound to ask questions someday.

And Five figured it wouldn't be a good idea to have the same incident repeat itself while on the clock, but Phil had warned them of the destruction a bored Miko brought with her so this was the next best thing. Intentional or not, she couldn't run off if he held her hand hostage, now could she?

"Oh nerds," the 'Game Over' noise was enough to bring Five out of his semi-trance and when he looked up, it was to find Miko dramatically slunged back in her chair, head tilted upwards like she wanted to curse the gods themselves. "This damn level! I can't get past!"

"What?" Five perked up, a bit of a teasing grin on his lips. "The great Miko? Stuck at a game? Pure blasphemy, there's gotta be some rule against that."

Miko huffed. "In my defense, I'm playing one-handed! OG Castlestein is already hard enough with both hands!"

"You brought that on yourself."

"Says the one who's been hogging my hand this entire time!"

Five sensed the blush coming more than he felt it, and when Miko yanked her hand back and wiggled her fingers to emphasize her point, he didn't react. He hadn't really expected to be called out; they were generally touchy with each other, maybe even a little too much but it worked for them. "I-"

"Always touching me," Miko tsked, her hand falling back on the portable console she'd been nursing. A few clicks more and then the short silence was interrupted by the familiar Castlestein tune. "If you're not careful, people might start to think you have a thing for me, Five."

It was meant as nothing more than a tease, an off-handed little joke while she focused on her game but the problem was that there was some truth to it and Five could already feel the color in his face darkening. Damn it, he had to turn this around.

"Whoa, whoa, just a minute there!" He said, his fingers flattening out over the table keeping them separate. "You were the one who initiated the hugs after we literally just met!"

And what an experience that had been. Five wouldn't lie, the first time Miko had jumped him in a surprise hug, just a day after they'd gotten accepted into Hinobi, he hadn't known what to think. Sure he was familiar with the concept, his family practically lived off bear hugs and the like, but Miko had essentially still been a stranger to him at the time, albeit a special one. He hadn't been expecting the sudden affection, but he'd been quick to learn that it was going to be happening a lot and he might as well just get used to it. Miko had just been built like that, after all.

"Well, yeah!" Miko looked up from the screen for just a moment, grin flashing in a show of teeth. "We're friends, Five. I was excited to see you!"

"Excited to-" Five sputtered, his face catching flame and his brain switching to default Spanish in the confusion. Miko just let him go, having grown used to his frequent swaps by then and fully unaware of the few choice yet flustered words that were coming out of her best friend's mouth. Five sincerely prayed for this girl to never decide to pick up Spanish as a third language.

"I'm gonna end up fluent in Google translate because of you," Miko told him after he'd finished, her lips quirked into a half-smile while her eyes, once again, flickered up from the screen for a brief moment.

"Please don't," Five whimpered, his head tucked into his arms on the table, face entirely hidden from view.

He'd heard plenty of stories concerning people falling for their best friends, thought it was silly, honestly. Surely a little crush shouldn't be enough to feel awkward around someone you already have such a close relationship with, right? You just had to suck it up. And if not that, then confess your feelings, it was that easy.

That had been his mindset for the longest time, and it had also been his mindset the first time he actually realized what he'd been feeling this entire time. They'd been on a mission, he'd been on the ground, knocked on his ass with a ridiculously oversized glitch gaining on him. His gauntlet had been malfunctioning, sizzling and crackling in a way that just couldn't be good no matter how you cut it, and it was safe to say that Five was in a crapload of trouble.

But then Miko had, quite literally, come crashing into him with the full force of her body and a worried call of his nickname. Her next move had been to call for Ally to get them out of there, but when Five looked up and blinked out of his daze, for a split second the light hit her face just right and Five realized that the rapid beating of his heart wasn't just because of what went down not even a minute ago.

But it'd been fine because again, it was just a silly little crush and he wasn't planning to dwell on it at all. Miko was his gaming buddy. His best friend. He wasn't going to give that up for the world.

Five wished his mindset had stayed that sober.

The mission completion sound went off, followed by an excited victory cry that had Bergy stumbling and nearly tripping over himself in the back. Five didn't even have the chance to look up before a pair of soft hands dived for his face and nearly squished his cheeks together as he was pulled close to his excited partner's face. She was smiling, her eyes damn near sparkling and if his heart wasn't beating so damn loud in his ears he'd probably be grinning with her.

"I did it, Five! Did you see?!" Miko cried, bringing their faces together even closer in her excitement and ah, there were the touches again. Honestly she probably didn't even realize she was doing it. "I told you I could do it!"

Play it cool, play it cool. What were they talking about? Oh, right, Castlestein. "You beat it one handed?! No way!"

"Yes way!" Their foreheads were touching now; game forgotten between them. Five most certainly wasn't dying inside. Definitely not. "MVP of the day? ME_K.O.! I told you!"

Five reached for his face with a laugh that was a mix of amused and nervous. His hands wrapped around hers, gently peeling them off his cheeks and putting some distance between them as he leaned back. Their hands, however, remained intertwined. "Okay, okay! I get it!" He chuckled. "You're amazing, we know. Make sure to rub it in Mitch's face later."

His heartbeat slowed down to a pace that was less cause for concern and more healthy, but then she laughed and squeezed his hands a little and crap, there it went again.

"I so will!" Miko tugged at his hands again, but instead of pulling away, she just tightened her grip, almost intertwining their fingers. "You have to come with me though! Wouldn't be the same without you, partner!"

Five froze, his brain short-circuiting for just a second. "Do-" he swallowed; looked away. God that smile was dangerous. "Do you think I'd want to miss that? Not a chance!"

'Falling for your best friend is silly,' he'd said.

'Just confess! It can't be that big of a deal,' he'd said.

Oh nerds, was this karma? It had to be karma.

Miko leaped up from her seat, practically bouncing over as she rounded the table to stand in front of him, their hands still linked. "Well, come on, Five! Let's go!" She urged, tugging in an attempt to lift him from his chair.

Five's nervous smile turned soft at her antics, at her smile, and just like that, his inner panic disappeared just as quickly as a passed highscore. Because you know, if this was what he was going to be risking just for something as silly as a small crush? He was perfectly fine just staying the way they are.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm following, I'm following, relax!" 

[lovemesomesurveys]

Do you have any friends who are on and off with bfs/gfs all the time? I don’t have any friends, so no.

When was the last time you almost cried out of exhaustion? It’s not a rare occurrence. I get very moody, irritable, and frustrated and I’m just so mentally and physically exhausted and yeah it gets to be too much and my emotions get the best of me. It doesn’t help that my sleep schedule is actually shit. 

What`s a TV show you hate missing? There’s ones I like to watch as they air, but if I miss it I have it recorded to watch later. There’s some I don’t catch up on until the next day or so because I watch it with my mom, so it depends on her schedule. 

Do you think it’s funny how people always say their pet is the best ever? It is funny how other people say that because mine is the best ever, soooo. Haha.

When did you last brush your teeth? Yesterday. Before you judge me, it’s 3:15AM so I haven’t brushed them yet today.

What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited? YouTube.

Do you have a friend who you think you’ll be best friends with forever? Yes, I know my mom and I will always be close.

Does it annoy you when you accidentally delete things? If I can’t get it back easily, yes. Or if it was important, but that’s beyond annoying. That’s freak out mode.

What`s a movie / book / TV show / band / whatever you highly recommend? If you like murder mystery thriller types, check out the Emma Griffin series by AJ Rivers. As for TV show, I just recently binged the Unsolved Mysteries reboot on Netflix. There’s only 6 episodes, though. I like mystery type stuff if you haven’t noticed. As for band, listen to Linkin Park. Chester Bennington’s voice is SO GOOD. RIP <3

When did you last use a dictionary / thesaurus? Not too along ago.

Are you anticipating or dreading anything? I’m dreading the rest of summer.

What`s the most annoying thing in the world? Right now it’s the fact people won’t wear a damn mask and those who are acting like the pandemic is over and hanging out around large groups of people, partying it up like nothing. AND Disney World just reopened....wtf. Florida is one of the major hotspots, like???

When did you last use one of those water slides you put on hills? I’ve never done that.

What are you sitting on right now? My bed.

What skills would you like to learn / develop? It’d be cool if I could be fluent in Spanish. I’d also love to start practicing the piano again, but I don’t have the energy or motivation D:

What is something other people say you’re good at but you think you’re not? Uhhh. I don’t know what people would say I’m good at cause there isn’t anything.

What is something people are surprised to hear about you? The shocked looks and gasps when I tell people about my accident that happened when I was 7 months old.

Do you make judgments about people straight after meeting them? I mean, yeah. That doesn’t mean they’re bad judgments. I just think we all get some idea or opinion about someone when we meet them, which could just be something like, “wow they seem like a really nice, chill person.” Or that they come off shy or awkward or something. I know people think that about me.

Do you hate any particular groups of people? Actual horrible, bad people like abusers, rapists, pedophiles, murderers....

[tsscat]

13 23 33 34 35 40 44 50 for the ask game!

ughhh I wanted to answer this all day but I was on mobile.

13. What’s the worst grade you got on a test?

I think there was one time when I got an 80 on a history test. I can’t remember anything ever lower than that.

23. What language, besides your native language, would you like to be fluent in?

Well the thing is, my family speaks a lot of languages and I really want to learn all those.

I guess if I wasn’t going to chose those, I’d chose…maybe German? Or French and Chinese so I know what my other-language friends are talking about (I already know Spanish and Latin so it’d be pretty easy to decipher Latin).

Also for a script, a cool but useful script to read would be Cuneiform. It wouldn’t serve much purpose other than reading old tablets but I’d still want to learn it.

33. If you have a nickname, what is it?

My name is fairly short, so I don’t really have a nickname. I think the closest I’ve come to a nickname was “Tar Tar” back in 1st grade (don’t ask me what it was about I have no clue).

34. Who’s your favorite person in the world?

I CAN’T DEAL WITH SO MUCH PRESSURE. I actually can’t chose between people, I have a lot of favorite persons in my life.

35. Would you rather live in a rural area or in the suburbs?

This is a tough question

Like on one hand, rural areas are nice, quiet, beautiful, and away from people.                 But you can’t really telecommunicate (tv, internet, phone, etc.) there effectively.

And while suburbs aren’t really as interesting or anything, you are surrounded by people and probably have more connectivity 

Suburbs it is.

40. What medical conditions do you have?

I don’t have many but I think I have one minor blood problem? It’s barely an issue so I didn’t even know until I was 12.

44. What’s the last compliment you got?

It think it was on my art?? I don’t know.

 50. Why do you have a tumblr?

I mean, this was intended to be an art blog, but then y'all on Tumblr had to and drag me deep into all these fandoms (I’m kidding myself I was already so deep into fandoms Captain Nemo from that Jules Vern book said Hi)

[taesthetes]

vn army anon says hi~ no, i don't bake or cook (i think i'm terrible at both but if i don't forget to turn off the oven on time i think i'm able to get something together haha). i'm actually quadrilingual hihi^^ i speak 4 languages fluently (hopefully) & i used to learn spanish at school but only for 1 semester bc our teacher got sick & there was no one teaching it so it was cancelled. i haven't remembered any of it except for common words most ppl know lol. i wanna learn korean tho & i hate my–

–laziness☹️ anyways i wanna study languages in future as well so hopefully i’d graduate to get there. and what field are you studying at uni, if you don’t mind me asking? mine was shadowhunters🙂 i actually had a blog about american shows first, it was multifandom. some of mains were shadowhunters/tmi, teen wolf, flash, etc. that blog lasted the longest tho (over 1 year?) & the most creations so far were published on there. now it’s just as an archiver for my works. and that fic was soo good,–

you described yoongi so well, the character was so him omg. okay, you’re overrating me, i’m not that good in PS😂 i only have a basic knowledge. omg i actually enjoy playing around in PS & designing stuff sounds cool & fun so i like the idea of studying designing as well but i’m sure i won’t make it since i’m weak at other subjects besides languages. yes, i was also thinking of semi-hiatus. and i’m actually the one who’s honored to talk to you. i’m glad you didn’t ignore my asks & we’re even–

–talking more i thought you’d already be tired of my long a– posts😂 oh i’ll always be happy to share with you my thoughts, it’s an honor for me to share them with such a great writer as you💗 my all time fave book is “where rainbows end” by cecelia ahern. there’s a movie adaptation “love, rosie” with lily collins as female lead (my fave actress) & sam claflin~ and i loved it so much! charming, witty & sad; as the story grows though, it leaves you with a glimpse of hope & a warm fuzzy feeling–

–inside. definitely recommending! the book’s in a form of letters & messages which leaves an interesting impression on the reader, plus it’s easy to understand. there are reviews that the book didn’t have to be that long but i still liked it & hopefully you will too if you’ll consider reading it^^ also i saw a movie called “stuck in love” (with lily again :D & logan lerman) and i thought it was also adapted from a book because i felt like there could be so much more of the story behind–

–but it’s not, what a pity, i’d love to read the book. i’m recommending that movie as well but not sure if you’d welcome it. a similar one to the genre is “perks of being a wallflower” by stephen chbosky which i liked both book + movie version. and “one day” by david nicholls is worth a read, trust me! oh sorry, i went straight on recommending books & movies haha my asks are way too long again 😅 have a miraculous day, beautiful ✨🌹

hey, raindrop!! i’m gonna put my answer under the cut because it got really long, so i hope you don’t mind! 💕

ahaha you remind me of my sister with the oven thing; i always have to make sure she turns it off or else our house is probably gonna burn down. omg that’s amazing!! i wish i knew more languages! you’re so talented :o wow, i only know 2 ½ languages haha i’m decent enough in spanish because of high school classes, but i’m not entirely fluent yet. adjhfasaskdf i’m in awe- you’re gonna be quintilingual (?) when you learn korean too 😱 oooh omg, are you in college and majoring in languages if you don’t mind me asking?

i’m currently a computer science engineering and business finance double major! but actually, i think i’ll be switching to business finance and studio arts double major with an entrepreneurship minor. i figured that i might as well take one major that i actually enjoy (thus, studio arts) – i really do like engineering, so i’m still going to be a member of several engineering society/clubs, but i don’t love it enough, so i don’t think i’ll enjoy working in that field for the rest of my life.

oooh omg, i’ve been meaning to read that series, but i never had the time to yet. i hear there’s a bunch of series? like the mortal instruments is one of them, i think? i’ve never watched any of those shows 😅 i mostly only watch crime shows and a couple cooking ones and comedy ones. ah, well, that blog is like a good memory of your old fandoms then! i have an inactive blog from my exo days haha

adjkhfalskda thank you so much!!! i love writing yoongi’s character; i think police yoongi is probably one of my absolute favorites to write. asjkdhflaskjf nah, i’m sure you’re actually really great with PS!! the first time i tried using it, i had so much trouble trying to maneuver around with all the various options and controls they had, but it was still really fun playing around with it. and you should go for it! if PS and graphics is your passion, you should study designing! or maybe study both design and languages? the classes won’t be so bad if you enjoy it, right? wouldn’t classes be more focused around designing? like with engineering, i basically have no english classes and i only needed a couple science classes; the rest of the classes was specified for engineering, like mechanics, frugal innovations, programming, math, etc.

i would never ignore your asks!! i really like talking to you and reading all your messages 💞 asdjhfalsjkfd and thank you so much omg :’)  and i’ve seen “love, rosie”! lily collins is such an amazing actress and she’s so pretty, and sam claflin is very attractive wow he’s great, too. i haven’t read the book, but i’ll definitely try reading it! i’ll see if one of the local libraries have it, so i can request for it. oooh yes, that form of writing always intrigued me; i think it would be fun to tell a story entirely with letters from two correspondents or like a diary format from the perspective of one person. i’m excited to see you write a bts fic in this style if you do decide to write it!!

and i’ll definitely watch the movie “stuck in love” too! i just read the summary of it, and it sounds really interesting!! it does sound like it’d be a wonderful book as well. i think i’ll watch it tonight or tomorrow :D i have read the perks of being a wallflower and i enjoyed it, but i never actually seen the movie yet surprisingly. and i will add one day to my reading list, too! hopefully, they’ll also have it at the library. and that’s totally okay! i’d love to hear about any recs you have :D if you have any more, i’d love to know about them, too! and i hope you have an amazing day/night, too, raindrop!! 💗✨
