#I'm not great with traditional art but yay :D

[sunnymainecoonx]

Soo uhhh I made a promise with myself to not draw(digitally) until I'm finished storing all my drawings in one place because uhh my storage is literally gonna die in the matter of seconds

But uhh there was Christmas workshop last week on Friday and I made these :3 the uhh lighting isn't great but it works for the time being-

Oh and @cakesmelons yuh whenever I dunno what to draw you're my first go to for some reason so

[zu-is-here]

ZUUUUU!!!

So sorry for the late reply heh, like I said, was working tonight, it was perfect timing really.

Still snowy? Ahh so jelly, we've been having the most boring weather, wind, clouds and rain. Basically the most British weather possible.

Oh! Even if you didn't wanna change, it was nice of them to give you the option! Just remember zu, even if the deal is off, please return everyone's lockets to the correct owners.

My work is going good, as I've said before it's not alot of hours rn, but what I do have is going nicely. Tonight was a 90s theme, which I was actually not told until 40 mins before I left!! Ahhg had to run around trying to find something to wear.

It was fun though, played a bunch of classic music, so spent the night cleaning tables and dancingggg.

You know.i searched up the song CPR cuz of that and bloody hell, a song has never made me blush so much, can't believe Sdream was dancing to that XD

I love the way you draw rain!!

Oh thank you!! I'm happy with how it turned out, was just in a lineless mood I guess. Loved drawing them all.

Ooo I'm sure it will be great! I'll miss you while you're away though, I can't wait to hear all about jt!

Heheh...the 'good' boy peed in my room in the door way -_- that's how he's doing. How's the good girl?

Hi Twin 💛 4, 7, 18, 28 for the ask thing? (:

Hello, darling Twin! =D Thank you for sending these asks in! <3 Hope you're having a good evening.

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

Thiiissss is so hard because I just love food in general and I don't even know where to start with our specific foods... And that's even excluding all the desserts... Okay, because it's cold and I'm craving carbs I'll go with amagwinya/vetkoek/fat cakes. They're basically fried dough balls that you can either put curried mince in (more traditional) or cheese and honey like a scone. As with bunny chows (white bread hollowed out and stuffed with curry) the absolute best curries in your vetkoek (or bunny) are done by a Cape Malay or Indian person. Takes it straight from good to kasjlajsajn. (I prefer Indian over Cape Malay myself, but I think that's because my bff's family has fed me most. Nothing, I maintain, beats Aunty M's biryani. Nothing.)

7. three words from your native language that you like the most?

So my home language is definitely very English, but schools make you take a second language from the third grade, and (brag alert) I got pretty good at Afrikaans, to the point where I was taking it at home language level for a few years in high school. (I dropped down to second language level because I wanted more time to read English fiction books instead of doing homework. Yay, lazy teenagedom!) So I'll answer this with Afrikaans words, even though it's not technically a native language of mine, really.

As with many languages, there are just some words that work best in a certain language. They don't translate over with the same oomph. Here are three from Afrikaans I adore:

Nogal (that g is a voiceless velar fricative similar to the sound in 'loch')- I use this word all the time because it's great. It loosely translates to 'moreover/what is more'/even', but it also means so much more than 'moreover'. It's 'moreover', but with sarcasm dripping off it. You'd use nogal in a sentence like, "She insulted my art style and then asked me to do her a painting for her business. And for free, nogal." Or, "The shops were out of my favourite chocolate, only had expired milk and then nogal tried to charge me double for the apples."

Sommer - Translated to 'just' or 'simply', but also with more pizazz. You throw it into sentences that don't really need it, just for the extra padding of context to your mood. For example, instead of saying, "You were late, and so I just sat there," you'd say, "You were late, so I was sommer just sitting there." Or, to humble brag about your meal: "Oh, this dish? Nah, man, I sommer threw this together chop chop."

Ja nee/no - Every one of us says 'ja' like Americans use 'yeah'. Doesn't matter what your home language is, when you're saying yes informally, you use Afrikaans 'ja'. I don't know why; it just is. And we really love using this phrase that translates to "yes, no". Some people use the Afrikaans no (nee), some use the English no, but it's in everyday speech. "Do you feel like a movie tonight?" "Ja, no, that would be lekker." (Throwing that lekker in as a sneaky 3.5. Because it's a lot more than just 'nice'.)

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

Vocabulary wise, not really. The country has a pretty standard vocabulary that is used all over. There are niche vocabs in cultural/language groups that I'm not part of, and The Young People have the strangest slang sometimes (that is, more often than not, picked up from overseas. Thanks, TikTok, I guess for making me squint face at people calling me 'the plug' for a while until somebody explained that to me.) Pronunciation wise, yes. Despite never living anywhere else in my life, I apparently sound American to people. British to a few (simply because we do pronounce and spell things the way our Colonial Mother taught us, thanks very much). There are about nine different accents in this country and I have none of them. And nobody can figure out why. Since my sister has also been told she 'sounds foreign', I think it might have to do with our upbringing? Or we really did just... watch that much TV...

28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?

Not too many lakes (actually... do we have any? We have dams...), but a fair few rivers (only a handful or so of big ones, but there are little ones all over) and quite a lot of mountains. I don't think I have a favourite river, but the Drakensberg (lit 'dragon mountains'. We're dramatic) are my fave mountains, simply because they're stunning and let me see snow for the first time in my life a few years ago.
