#Spanish Time Vocabulary

[fungusqueen]

Would anyone want more Spanish-learning posts from me? I keep a Spanish language notebook where I keep notes just for my own reference (including all my notes from class). Depending on how diligently I'm watching a show, I'll try to compile vocabulary lists like the one above, which is basically new (to me) words I've picked up. This list encompasses Season 1 of the Desperate Housewives. It seems like more people are either using Duolingo, or have some increased interest in learning a second language so I figure it might be helpful. Let me know!

"do you like it?" "darling, i love it."

why is it that google is always pretty decent at translating various languages but the moment i'm looking up crochet instructions none of these words are in any dictionaries

[rotzaprachim]

Elite (only seasons 1-3) sure was my supernatural.

[tourniqitty]

being bilingual sucks when you can only write in one of the two languages

[narratorstragedy]

i wonder if 2 months in [redacted country] will affect my accent in spanish at all…

[laufire]

since your faves morph with your re-watches. let's say ted lasso. but also black sails and tvd for the ask meme <3

LOL. It doesn't happen with every story, since I think it's a result of uniquely expansive character arcs and a 'verse so impactful on my psyche I'm bound to analyze it six ways to Sunday...... which is not THAT easy to find LOL. That said.

TED LASSO

This one could easily change because I really only have strong-ish attachment to the first 2-3 on the list tbh.

Rebecca. How could she not? She's the fucking shit. AND she's unbelievably hot.

Keeley. I ADORE everything she is.

Ted. His backstory regarding his father is eerily similar to that of one of my oldest, best-beloved OCs. Once I made that connection, it was downhill from there.

Roy. He and I are kindred spirits xDD

Sam. He's just a sweetheart with really good leading instincts once he's in a better place to grow. I have a soft spot for that stuff.

Least favourite: I mean, on the one hand, you have Rupert, who's THE WORST lol. But... yeah, yeah, Nate is on the path to redemption, and he's definitely suffered a whole deal, etc. etc. He just happens to act in a way I can't help but find abhorrent in people so.... he's on thin ice LOL. Rupert wins but he deserves the mention.

(the fact that season 3 has been out for a week and I've already seen two posts that tried to downplay his misogynistic/incel tendencies doesn't help tbh)

BLACK SAILS

This one is tricky. I do plan to do a proper rewatch (and then a stackedsails rewatch for 2025 :DDD), which will clarify things. There's no version of events where Max and Silver wouldn't be my numbers 1 and 2, respectively. It's afterwards that it gets trickier.

I've offhandedly mentioned this before but, at least with certain stories (those where I'm here to appreciate the entirety of the story, basically), the impact of a character's arc ends up weighing more than any feeling of affection that I might feel for the person they embody, if that makes sense.

I'd say Flint is the most likely candidate for number 3. The other two slots... characters like Madi or Mr. Scott are still on the running (mix of both appreciation of their impact and their rarity as characters, and admiration for their personalities); but others like Vane, Eleanor or Billy have prominent, incredibly satisfying individual arcs more in consistent dialogue with the story's themes that could give them an edge.

For least favourite: yes, antagonists like Ashe or Rogers are obviously awful (the latter is at least really interesting for me; the former is just a spineless worm). But man. The way this fandom overrates Thomas is just something else xD

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES

Caroline. NUMBER ONE IN MY HEART, 5EVER, ETC. ETC. u know the deal.

Bonnie. I love her, I admire her, I understand her. And she's beautiful and I'm not made of stone.

Curveball ahead but: Elena. She's been promoted to #my schrödinger fave LOL. My opinion of her as a person hasn't changed xD, but she awakens my imagination and my love for narrative analysis like very few characters do.

Qetsiyah. I just think she's cool <3

Tyler. Oh, the tragedy of it :(

Least favourite: to quote myself - if you tied my hands behind my back, I would kill Damon with my teeth.

I solved Semantle #284 in 108 guesses. My first guess had a similarity of 13.04. My first word in the top 1000 was at guess #37. My penultimate guess had a similarity of 38.73 (929/1000). https://semantle.com/ not feeling a lot of glory rn </3

connie I think you're going to regret introducing me to this

i just finished japanese unit 3 on duolingo & i have to live with the knowledge that i knew what igirisu meant because of hetalia

[assim-eu-sou]

Just finished the House of Hades in my Heroes of Olympus read-through and I forgot how emotionally devastating some of these scenes were??? The sailboat arriving at the island suddenly as Leo is talking with Calypso? Annabeth watching Percy control the water inside a monster in horror? Percy wholeheartedly deciding he’s going to hold the elevator button for Annabeth and die in Tartarus (obviously she doesn’t let him but still). I could go on but… sheesh.

[daily-spanish-word]

time el tiempo

(also: the weather)

The tempo of time ticking by.

Now it’s time to go to sleep. Ahora es tiempo de ir a dormir.

so I was looking up if when writing something like ‘I know’ in Spanish if it’s ‘se’ or ‘sé’

I think both are used for different things but the funny part is when reading the example of it being used in a sentence ‘sé’ said

“Yo solo sé que no sé nada” (I only know that I know nothing)

(I just remembered a funny story)

So I was helping my mom put away the laundry one time and she asked what letter size some pants/shorts were. It was marked ‘S’ and I was going to say say “talla ‘s’” (size ‘s’) but I blurted out “ese es ‘s’” which if you say out loud sounds like you said the same thing three times (she looked at me like ?????? i tried)

i suppose the pipeline is good friend to crush so often that it's nice to have it go the other way once in a while, but i'm just glad he didn't reject me outright

I’ve seen some people complaining about Channing Tatum/his accent in Deadpool & Wolverine, and I just want to set a few things straight.

Channing has been on the docket to play Gambit since 2005, but each and every time, the character was cut from the script, he had a prior contract, or the director kept getting replaced until the project was scrapped 4 years later with the Fox/Disney merger.

He has family in Louisiana and grew up in the bayous (albeit in rural Alabama). This character has meant something to him since CHILDHOOD when it comes to representation in media.

Gambit doesn’t speak SAE (Standard American English). He’s a street urchin from Acadia/New Orleans. He grew up speaking Cajun (a mix of Southern American, Canadian French, and España Spanish grammar applied to a mostly English vocabulary) and Louisiana French (an offshoot of Canadian French from Acadians).

Every person I’ve seen online who ACTUALLY GREW UP around people who speak Cajun, Creole, and/or Louisiana French has said that his accent is SPOT ON, maybe even a little too clear.

All this to say: if you can’t understand Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine, you’re not supposed to. That’s the bit: unless you’re used to those dialects and accents, you’re shit outta luck trying to parse it out without help. Hell, even Rogue, who grew up in the South, doesn’t know what he’s saying half the time.

fun and cool trick to not be a dick to people who have noticeable accents when speaking english is to remember that you have an accent to them. miscommunication just gets worse if you try and ignore or baby this i feel. if someone is communicating to you in short snippets and small vocabulary don’t treat them like an idiot but also perhaps don’t treat them like a first language speaker of whatever language you are communicating in
