every day I am shocked the Midwest accent is real
#I just didn't KNOW that many people who had noticeable midwest accents until I like. moved here.#though my grandmother was originally from minnesota before that side of the family moved to washington when she was small#and you could occasionally hear it in certain words#(one of many scandinavian-american families that went 'this weather sucks' and moved from the midwest to the west coast)#I have a pnw accent which is one of the lesser-known regional american accents#I don't know if it's still very strong but at one point it was noticeable enough that people kept commenting on it#in a 'what the fuck is that' kind of way because most people don't know the pnw accent exists#but I also confuse people because I lived in the South for so long#I don't have a southern accent but I do have some dialect quirks that have been picked up over the years#the people who have been most confused about my accent have been canadians from bc lol#the bc accent is very very close to a washington accent but not identical#then I said 'y'all' and they gave up and went 'where...are you from. what is that.'#(this is a true story)#I also now say parking deck which I *think* is a georgia thing? or that part of the south anyway#I never heard it before I moved to atlanta#your girl

OK BUT GAMBIT WITH A TINY THOUGH PLEASE I NEED A RAMBLE ANOUT THAT
Specifically Deadpool 3 Gambit teeheeeee
REAL REAL REAL REAL REAL MY LOUISIANAN HEART NEEDS THAT DUMB MAN
i feel like he’d love to fidget with a tiny, like if he’s not toying around with a deck of cards then he’s playing with the tiny’s limbs, twirling them around his fingers, and most of the time he doesn’t even realize he’s doing it. sometimes he does, though, and he likes how flustered the tiny gets about it
MAJOR FLIRT ALERT he would be utterly charming when trying to get on the tiny’s good side. if he isn’t flirting, he’s doing dumb shit to show off
likes playing card games with the tiny cause it’s fun to watch them try and maneuver cards as tall as he is
he is ultimately pretty respectful if the tiny doesn’t want to be touched - he made it work with Rogue, he can make it work with the tiny too!
and his go to petname for a tiny would be ‘ma petit fleur’ (my little flower)
#i love imagining this. finally a guy from my state who doesnt suck#if we talked we’d be unintelligible between my city accent and his cajun accent#i dont think i have much cajun inflection but also if im around people with that accent my brains like LETS GOOOO#anyways. bet my family’s gumbo recipe is better than his (lousiana fighting words)

Accents
Ok I LOVE how the Newsies speak, but it amplifies my own accent so poorly.
I have a very bland American accent (suburban Ohio :p) but whenever I try and use the newsies poor boy NYC accent I just sound COUNTRY.
I can never stick to speaking normally 😔 it’s either OHIO, or Newsie wannabe, and every once in awhile like two words will have the British pronunciation, but only Composite and Aunt.
@crabmaster64 bullies me for it 😔😔
#newsies#jack kelly#newsies musical#newsies broadway#newsies 1992#92sies#david jacobs#racetrack higgins#les jacobs#Accents suck#Sometimes I get bullied for having an American accent#Like you chose to raise me here ?#Not like my parents don’t have the same accent

new cars are total bullshit.
why are there no buttons. why is there a touch screen. why are the doors opened by touching a fake door handle that sends a signal to open the door instead of being able to pull an actual handle. WHY IS THERE A TOUCH SCREEN. why is it so big but somehow doesn't have more space on the inside.
#why are there so many voice control thingies that suck and don't recognize all voices and accents#and need exact fucking sentences to do what you want that you have to memorize basically#doddie redet#cars#my dad gets a car for work#and always gets a new one but only has it for a few years so they can resell it#and he just got a new one today. and we hate it lol#the old one already sucked but this one sucks as well 3<3#'You don't need to be able to see anything behind you by yourself! We have a camera for that!' okie. on the last car the camera LITERALLY#FELL OUT. ON THE FLOOR. AND NEVER WORKED AGAIN.#pls don't make the driver rely on gadgets that MIGHT STOP WORKING#your car should be able to work even if your stupid fucking gadgets fail

so im gonna stalk- ahem- stick to you like a leach 🥺🌹
feed me more
The Cap’n's rule about everyone being strictly forbidden from watching him sleep—something about Garfiel being exactly like Rem but without pretty girl privilege—never actually stops the members of the camp from keeping an eye on him while the Cap’n's rests.
The camp is nothing if not resourceful, and it’s not like they need to be inside the room when he’s sleeping to make sure he stays safe. Waiting a few feet away from the only entrance is just as effective.
That's why when Garfiel smells a person approaching the Cap’n's room, during a time he knows he is asleep—they spent the last few days traveling to Pristella, like Hoshin traveled the desert to Banan after all—he rushes into the hallway and grabs the visitor's wrist right before it gets to knock at the Cap’n's door.
"—the hell do ya think yer doin’?" Only after he finishes talking, under the dim hallway light of the mansion-like inn, he takes notice of the visitor's red, flame-like hair. A sharp horror, the one he had felt hours flooded through his entire body, as he realized whose wrist he grabbed.
For a second, all is still.
"Hello again, Sir Garfiel," the Sword Saint greets him, smiling as if they were pals and he hadn't evaded Garfiel’s senses and stopped his punch with a casual block a couple hours before. As if he weren’t the main obstacle between Garfiel and the title of Strongest. "I apologize if my presence alerted you, but all I wish to do is talk to Subaru."
"W-well isn’ that convenient. Anythin’ ya might need ta tell the Cap’n, ya can tell my amazin’ self instead." Big fat lie. There is a reason why the Cap’n is the Cap’n despite being borderline comatose and apparently not that much older than him. But Garfiel can’t trust anyone stronger than him, and as much as he hates himself for it…
The difference between him and Reinhard van Astrea is like a newborn Earth dragon and the Divine Dragon themself.
His mere presence makes Garfiel's rawest instincts scream—tell him to either fight-or-flight. Garfiel doesn't want to be anywhere close to Reinhard, but much less he wants Reinhard anywhere close to the Cap’n when he sleeps. At least not until Garfiel proves himself a stronger shield than Reinhard.
Even if the Cap’n is not defenseless—at least, not usually— he is useless while he isn't awake. And that means Galfield has to fight for both of them.
"I see," Reinhard's lips tilt downwards. "I do not mean disrespect, but what I would like to discuss would be related to something personal, unrelated to our respective camps..."
Right. Garfield's eyebrow twitches. Right. The Cap’n said they were friends.
"...the Cap’n's asleep," his voice sounds hoarse even to his ears. Maybe if he makes his tone drier than the Augura Sand Dunes, he can get Reinhard to give up and leave?
Reinhard's eyes widen. "Is that so. From what I gathered he mostly slept during the night."
Garfield scowls. Of course the Sword Saint knew that much. "The Cap’n does, but he couldn' sleep during the trip, as we moved without pause, just like the Emperor of the Briar who never knew rest," Garfield crosses his arms. "So he is sleeping now and won't wake up in a while."
"I see..." Reinhard says, and an uncomfortable silence falls between them. His gaze felt so heavy that if Garfiel moved carelessly, he wouldn’t know what his fate would b— "I wanted to ask about my father, actually—” Reinhard spoke up, breaking the silence. “I heard there were some issues close to Lady Priscilla's domain that involved Subaru and him."
It takes Garfield a second to realize what he is talking about. His joy over learning the one and only Sword Saint's father was joining Emilia's camp to help Subaru stop the Argyle healer evaporated the moment his eyes actually lied on the man. After a couple days he just became Old Man, a skilled drunkard with a sob story, rather than a member of the family his mother used to read him stories about.
"Issues,” Garfield snorts at Reinhard’s choice of word. “Tha's one way of sayin’ it." He makes a face. "Yeah, I was there too. The Old Man made us go lookin’ for a stupid chalice with the power to cure all sickness, but in the end it's only power w’s turning water into booze. Big ass let down."
Reinhard’s shoulders sag. "So that’s what happened…” Reinhard’s eyes finally looked past Garfiel and looked at the still closed door, an unreadable thought reflected in them. “...I am glad father was with Subaru and you nonetheless. I can't imagine him taking another disappointment well..."
How could any member of the group that went after the dumb cup not be disappointed? The chalice would have been able to cure not only the Old Man’s wife, but the Cap’n too. As the camp’s shield it’s his duty to protect everyone from everything—including hereditary diseases. When the Old Man mentioned the rumors, he was the first to tell Emilia they absolutely needed to go.
Still— the entire conversation leaves a bad taste in his mouth. The Cap’n was already carrying enough on his shoulder, with being the Hero that defeated the Archbishop of Sloth, the White Whale and the Great Rabbit— did he really need to trouble himself with family drama when the man ain’t even dead? “Why?”
Reinhard blinks. “Well, it has been many years—”
“—no, not that.” Garfiel’s scowl grows. “Why do ya need to imagine it? Yar dad’s alive, you could ask him.”
Reinhard just stares, before a bitter smile covers his lips. “Although true, my father doesn’t enjoy my company, so I wouldn’t like to impose myself when unnecessary.”
But he is alive, is what he wants to say. “My mom’s dead,” is what he says instead. Because damn— he saw the Old Man, the even Older Man and him talk during dinner and how Ottobro almost lost his head trying to stop Old and Older from killing each other, right before Priscilla arrived saying this was the most amusing shitshow she had seen in weeks. The Old Man genuinely didn’t want to be with Reinhard and his dad.
But he is alive. All three of them are. They can talk. While Garfiel's mom is dead and gone and he can't tell her how much he loves her. "Just because your father is with us, and the Cap’n is strong enough to carry the weight of yar family drama, doesn't mean he should."
Reinhard's eyes widen again. "I—"
"The Cap’n sleeps longer when he overworks himself," Garfield cuts, his words stronger than any punch he ever did.
And Reinhard's mouth shuts with an audible click, expression shifting into one of horror— as it should.
"He carries everyone's problems on his back— no matter how tired he is...!" He clenches his fists. "The Cap’n is so cool, cooler than the Sage and Reid! But precisely because he is like that is that we need to push ourselves harder. Be the people the Cap’n wants us to be, even if he is too shy to tell us. Because— because...!"
“—will you two please SHUT UP?!" The Cap’n's door parts open with a bang, and the Cap’n appears in the doorway, rubbing his eyes while scowling. “Some of us are actually trying to sleep around here!”
Garfiel rushes back to his room only minutes later, but also doesn't miss Reinhard walking in direction to the Old Man's room rather than the hallway he originally came from.

inspired by @something2believe's poll i wanted to know how my followers pronounce my name. arguably my name is quite international so there shouldn't be any "weird" versions of the pronunciation but i still want to know!
#no wrong or right answers#like i said a lot of languages have their versions of it so i'm 100% ok with people using their own versions#even i say my name with an english accent when speaking english#and a friend calls me 'veronique' in front of her french bf#so it's all good#copied the ipa spelling from wikipedia#the main difference is that in polish there's an 'oh' sound in the middle and in english there's more of an 'ah'#trying to explain pronunciation sucks hhhh#if you have some strange complex answer to this poll let me know in the comments or on anon

doomscrolling through rate my prof and either multivariable's gonna suck or it's gonna feel a lot like learning from my dad.
#for context: apparently the prof has quite the accent and some say she's not great with english (according to rmp)#which idk can't judge yet#but tbf the prof I'm working with in research lab also has an accent that's mentioned negatively in her ratemyprof review#and I understand her perfectly#perks of having immigrant parents and growing up in a very immigrant-heavy region is that I'm pretty chill with a lot of accents#(bonus points if they sound like my parents lmao#in that case I can practically fill in the blanks)#also people say she moves through the material fast and isn't great with the online platform/attendance is mandatory?#it doesn't seem too unfair-- I loved my last calc prof who also posted nothing online but ratemyprof hated her bc of that#just gotta make sure I'm front row at 8am sharp every class ig.#that'll suck but it could be worse#scared yet optimistic#college#os2.txt

I’ve read through two different series so far this year and I have to say I’m upset and annoyed that now I have to wait for the next book to come out
#I finished network effect two days ago and fugitive telemetry today#and this sucks now I'm just stuck here#and you know who would understand my plight of not having enough media downloaded? murderbot#it's like you make friends with these characters and then you don't get to hang out#also I think I might check out other books that Kevin R Free has narrated#because he hit it out of the fucking park with these#everyone has a distinct voice / accent and it's so easy to understand who's talking even when there aren't dialogue tags#and his voice is just very good aside from that!#I'm a Kevin R Free fan account now I guess

SHE DIDNT DEFEND ME. and she told my mum about it later bc SHE THOUGHT SHE'D TELL ME OFF#LIKE SHE DID IT TO SNITCH. THERE WAS NO SCENARIO WHERE MY SISTER WASNT BEING A CUNT. and my mum hit the ROOF#one thing she's rlly been big on is loyalty bc it's always been the 3 of us so when she found out my sister let him say that she FLIPPED#and this all happened last night and i only found out this morning bc i overheard them screaming at each other and turns out my mum#tried to keep it from me bc she didnt want my feelings hurt and IM pissed bc it actually did hurt more than i thought it would#like i KNOW what people say about my accent but it's a guy i know? my sister's been friends w him for years? i was being nice?#it's EMBARRASSING like i was clueless & friendly and turned around for him to be like 'look at this stupid local girl' like??#and my sister did NOTHING? it just sucks so i STORMED upstairs when i found out and had it out with my sister#and she knew she was fucked so she did all 'im not talking to you i have nothing to say' AND PUT HER EARPHONES IN?#the way i RIPPED them out. got in her face like okay girl u think i sound like a chav ill act like a chav lets GO#and it just got really aggressive and i wound up grabbing HER OWN SANDAL and full force hurling it at her face 😭 oops#from close range too like i was already in her face so i basically just smacked her with a sandal DSHGJKSH#now we're sat in silence bc alas we still share a room. WHAT the fuck. insane tbh but it's a bit funny. im so angry rn i could KILL#hella goes home

idk who this person is but i fuck with them
#HEARING SOMEONE ELSE SAY THAT THE DRAENEIS STORY FEELS JEWISH WAS SO RELIEVING#THEY TRIED TO KILL US. WE SURVIVED. LETS EAT!!!!!!#obviously its not the exact same but like. come on. theyve had to run away constantly#from people trying to kill them just for trying to exist in peace. jews#ive even heard jewish people irl say that they dont even have many posessions and they joke(?) that its cause theyre ready to have to leave#at any time if needed because of stuff like that. and that sucks! but also i get it. i however am not like that personally#maybe its the half goyness in me#i got off track#world of warcraft#my post#the reason i even found this was cause i was trying to find what other people thought their accents are meant to be#i always thought they sounded vaguely russian but honestly its hard to tell. audio is so abstract to me when it comes to trying to label
