"Oh my gosh do you sound like a sim to them??"

Me trying to place myself in their shoes:

"Why the fuck do I sound like a villager in Animal Crossing-- ARE THEY HEARING ANIMALESE WHEN I SPEAK?!"

(A.k.a I saw the previous ask and thought wait a minute. Two different worlds. Languages so similar but so different....... We're basically speaking animalese in another game/world lmfao)

(Bonus: Creator!Reader knows this and takes full advantage as their payback. Traveller magically understands and speaks back causing further pyschic confusion. Pretty sure soke brains have been melted among linguistic students in Sumeru)

-Vine Boom

VINE BOOM MY BELOVED IM SO LATE TO ATTEND TO YOU!! :'(

It has been a minute and yet, you remain my love!! Thank you for your patience, have a little scenario as my thanks for that and submitting the cool idea <3

Me @ you: ♥ ( ॢᵕ n ᵕ (꒡ᵋ ꒡ღ) mwah! /p

this gif is just really cute thats why its here.

also i have very little to add so its short but only bc im ✨uncreative✨ atm and ur ask alone is funny enough lmao, so once again, a scenario bc vine booms just a genius all on their own ✨️

◇

😭so you mean 😭 as revenge 😭 for this awful deed 😭 done to your speech 😭 you just start EMBRACING IT 😭😭😭PLEAASEEE-

PLEASE the traveler understands it!! 💀

Also if anyone reads this im so sorry ive flooded the sagau tag with language shenanigans LMAO

◇

Ever since you realized that the entirety of Teyvat sounds like Sims to you, (and the subsequent awful reckoning that you sound the same to them 😭) 

You have finally mentally recovered enough courage, and desperately shoved any embarrassment deep into your soul, to try and think of what to do about it

♤

You quickly found that people had 3 types of reactions to your speech,

 

1. They try to understand the nonsense like you trying to understand their Simlish, it really doesnt work, you wish you could tell them to give up and just gesture at you instead:

(ALHAITHAM he keeps trying then giving up then trying again lol, Diluc, ZHONGLI, Sara, Albedo, Candace, Dehya she thinks she’s gonna get it THIS time she swears-, Eula, Gorou, GANYU she feels bad lmao, Jean, AYAKA, keqing, kuki, Nahida, ningguang, AETHER, Thoma, xinyan, XIAO)

◇

2. They act like you when you hear animal crossing characters speak 💀 you can see the “omg so cute” sparkle in their eyes:

(KAZUHA, kokomi, barbara, KAEYA, ZHONGLI again lol he tries to hide it but you can see the tiny smile everytime you walk over and start ranting at him bc ur bored, Faruzan, GOROU, AYATO, YAE MIKO, keqing, LISA, mika, mona, KLEE literally loves you and you can tell shes always trying to get you to say something lol, Ei (archon), Rosaria she always SMIRKS and ur just- 😳, CHILDE the little shit giggles at ur misery, LUMINE AND AETHER U CANT TRUST EITHER OF THEM- , THOMA, SCARAMOUCHE BUT HE’D NEVER ADMIT IT BUT HE ALWAYS IS OBVIOUSLY TRYING TO HIDE A TINY SMILE AND GOES A LITTLE PINK-!! SAME FOR XIAO LMAO)

◇

3. You know that tiktok audio thats like Isabella from Animal Crossing singing, and then someone’s like “uh-huh! YEAH! OKAY!!” yeah like that, but to you LMAO

(ITTO, Bennett, KAVEH, heizou, VENTI, Nilou she like nods after everything you say and makes sure you’re treated well in every conversation aw, qiqi, KLEE, Raiden (puppet) + Ei (archon), SHENHE no explanation needed, CYNO too, LUMINE, YELAN, yoimiya, yunjin)

♧

Alright i got tired sorry not everybody’s there lol^

So no matter the reaction, they all are a little bummed nobody can get you, 

…but then of. Fucking. Course. 

LUMINE/AETHER as ALWAYS get SPECIAL TREATMENT 

(there’s not a single person throughout all the nations, the archons, the allogenes, doesnt matter, who hasn’t felt a LITTLE pang of envy for this- bc as cute as you sound, goddamit they USED to understand you when you weren’t physically here, before you overcame the Universal Barrier AKA the computer screen lol)

AND THEY GET TO UNDERSTAND YOU.

The Sumeru linguistics department is grinding their teeth, Alhaitham straight up glares every time they translate for you lmao, Zhongli’s eye twitches at least once everytime they do so, Kazuha is literally trying to bribe them with cool places he’s seen that the traveler hasn’t so they’ll share the secret of how to understand you, Ningguang gets 10x chillier when they’re helping convos w/ you, Ei looks like she’s fucking pouting-

☆

Aether is just like 🤨?? For what?? I’m helping???

So confused he never gets what’s going on lol

✨

Lumine, on the other hand, is FULLY aware and smirks every time she’s so smug about it LMAO 

^ the embodiment of the cat surrounded by knives meme ^

Me on my way to get my ass kicked by the girlies for the 12th time tonight

[indecisive-v]

forgive me, i've really gone down the p5x rabbit hole now

[batwynn]

I made this Easter basket for my mother a few years ago when things were really bad for her, and I’ve spent every year since trying to top it and failing. Nothing will beat the capybara bath basket filled with Cadbury eggs. 😭

[gubbles-owo]

auouaoagh having the itch to do vocal arrangement stuff again, tho since i can't sing for shit also voice dysphoria i've tried a few solutions over the years. none of 'em really stuck. forever ago i uhhh """acquired""" a copy of IA for some version of Vocaloid (3 or 4?), she was neat but she also sounded kinda flat. I tried UTAU but I literally could not get a single sound out of that program, even with the default voicebank. Never figured it out despite efforts, best guess is that it didn't like my audio interface drivers. Closest thing that somewhat stuck is Neutrino, technically a neural network sort of processing (but the banks are specifically made for it, without stealing shit ffs) with a bank named Seven:

Seven sounds pretty cool, but like. Rolling Girl in its default key here is a bit high for her range. Her pitch tends to be pretty shaky, and requires exhaustive tuning and tweaking after export to wrangle her in. I'm fine with tuning, I honestly love having that much fine control, but I wish I had more control over the initial rendering. That whole process just, kind of sucks? Set up the midi with hiragana lyrics in Cubase. Export as music XML. Open it with fucking Musescore just so I can re-add the tempo information. Re-export as uncompressed musicxml. And finally slap it in a source folder and run a .bat file via command prompt to render out the vocal to a .wav. Reimport into Cubase. Fucking exhausting lmfao. And even then, sometimes the bank just sings things in a way you really were not looking for. Rendering is a frustratingly hands-off process, and it's one of the reasons I wish I could get UTAU working on my machine. I want to find a voice bank that can really belt and growl, y'know?? I wanna be able to dial that in by hand, adhd hyperfocus style.

Anyway here have some pared down mixes. Dunno if I'd call the vocal harmonies final or anything, but I like the direction this goes in. I can't really say I'm good at it, cause I don't have much experience? But I really love arranging vocal harmonies n shit. Also u can hear my sloppy bass playing (yes that's me playing the bass and guitars lol)

[coldbrewpup]

and what if i want to hold you close, to feel that you are real and alive and next to me, hear your breath settle and feel the tension ease from your shoulders as you finally get to relax?

what if i want to hold you in the hopes that even a fraction of my love makes its way across the barriers of our skin, that the warmth of our embrace can make you feel but a little bit more at home?

can i hold you, when words fail and the world outside is looking for every opportunity to crush our spirits and drain our energy, can we be a reason to keep going?

can i hold you, casually and comfortably and fiercely and desperately, can you tell from a brief hug that my hands beg to linger, can you tell from a smile that i never want to let go?

what if i hold you and don't say a word, will you still know the ones waiting on my lips and in my bated breath? would you feel them through arms around you, a hand on your back or in your hair, the beat of my heart dancing with yours?

can i hold you the way you hold my attention, my affection, my admiration? can i touch you the way you touch my heart? can i love you from the top of my lungs, can i love you in a whisper so soft you can barely feel it on your skin? will you still hear it, do you still Know?

what if i want to hold you every day?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
