No, I cannot handle it anymore. Let’s talk about Neil Josten and his fluency in three languages.

Like, l get it, in the case with Andrew’s memory is possible but how did Neil manage to learn this? Yeah, but he lived in Germany and Austria and also went to school there-

Stop right there, languages do not work this way. He was past adaptive age at this point and he also didn’t communicate with other children. He would need like couple years of active learning in those countries to get like confident B2 (and he has at LEAST C1 in the trilogy). And don’t even get me started with French. French?? Where did he learned it??? Switzerland??? THAN HE WOULDN’T HAD ENOUGH TIME TO ACHIEVE FLUENCY IN GERMAN.

(Okay, I actually found out he spent like 18 months in France but like?? 18 MONTH :)

And you know, l would like get it, if it was German and Dutch, for example. They have at least similar grammar structure. But German and French are not the same.

Oh, and did we mention dude can speak decent Spanish? I quit.

The boy is linguistic genius I guess?

«Neil Josten is fluent in 3 languages»

— is a prove that aftg isn’t sport romance but a FANTASY .

redacted:

Posted on my way to college, forgot about it, only to found out a couple hours later that kind people on internet fervently disagree. I love this place so much. Also I absolutely love the comments implying that I am not from Europe (can I take it as a compliment to my English? dunno).

I am from Europe and I am also fluent in 3 languages. I am currently living in German speaking country and learning German, so I must admit my own struggles with this language affected my perception of a character. It might be only my case, because when I moved I was past adaptive age and whole experience was combined with heavy trauma — I got opposite reaction to Neil’s and first year of living in this country denied existence of German (even though I was under ungodly amount of pressure to learn it). By the time the shock was gone I already had strong negative about the language because of how people around treated me. It works really different for everyone.

Anyway, it was cool to see the reaction even if it wasn’t positive😅

But it was really interesting to read different stories from polyglots in the comments and I would love to read more so be free to disagree and share your experiences :)

i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.

i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.

anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.

my best friend uttered the words “we may have a second astro situation here” and i cant believe she’d curse me like this.

"the second day of autumn," huh?

In episode 3, Mizu agrees to duel Taigen on the "second day of autumn" when it is currently winter in the story

So can we talk about how

the day Mizu met her husband was probably in the springtime

the day Mizu finally slept with her husband was during autumn

and so was the day they "dueled"

where it becomes clear that fighting isn't just what Mizu is good at - she associates fighting with pleasure. she LOVES it

at least, when she's fighting the right person

In the brothel, when current-day Mizu sees the threesome in the throes of pleasure, while Madame Kaji is opining on being honest about desires -

Mizu instantly thinks of THIS

THAT FRAMING SURE LOOKS FAMILIAR

now HEAR ME OUT

a lot of the Mizu+Taigen adventures happen in the snow/winter, but you know what happens in the spring?

YEAH

YEAH

spring is when their characters AND their relationship both turn a corner

so Mizu's life turns a corner and she meets her husband in the spring, duels him and sleeps with him in the fall - and is betrayed

Mizu's life turns a corner and she reconciles with Taigen in the spring.......... and has agreed to duel him in the fall

it would've taken a few months to sail from Japan to Europe. March plus 6 months is September. Taigen is absolutely gonna end up in London because he fucking wants that fucking duel

do you see what i'm. do you see what i am saying

do you understand that the cherry blossoms blooming in Edo bloom in late March

during the spring equinox

and the "second day of autumn" is the autumn equinox

DO YOU SEE

you know something that genshin has that star rail doesn't

BIRTHDAYS

TEYVATIANS HAVE BIRTHDAYS WHILE THE REST OF UNIVERSE DOESN'T APPARENTLY

if your favorite character is a genshin character you can rest assured that you will get content of them At Least Once. You will get one art. You will get a letter.

BUT NOT IN STAR RAIL

i need sampo bday arts. so. badly. you don't understand. i need it. i need to see the baby boy. I need him to text me some long nonsense thing about birthdays. I need to know when his special day is so i can look forward to fanartists and fanfic writers can create more for him specifically because it's his bday gift i need it so bad i can't put it into words

how dare you, hoyo. how dare you take this away from us

Storyboard for an animatic I plan on making

“WHAT A WASTE OF ARMY DREAMERS.”

I was watching a gravity falls edit compilation and saw an edit with this song and immediately realized…dang *proceeds to spend half of the time making this trying to find that damn screenshot of Stan being kicked out by Filbrick*

I might finalize this and make it an animatic

Edit: here’s the animatic! https://youtu.be/WCJSrMZI924?si=BrFg4iqAlSPLW92r

i am constantly oscillating between they're making buddie canon. it's never happening. they're doing it. not in a million years. they're setting it up to happen. they're letting us down gently. feelings realization during 7x10. marisol and eddie endgame. we're so back. it's so over.

[smh-tuna]
