you know as someone from the southern US I am fully in favor of kiwi authors using the slang they want to use in their writing. I do say y'all on a regular basis and I hope everyone imagines my ocs with texas accents forever. all that said. to my dear friend carl who stopped "rustled your jimmies" from being a thing.

#sometimes she just would not fucking say that #this post brought to you by reading another fantasy novel in which the author is from new zealand and has #put a note at the beginning indicating they will be using regional words and expressions #which i fully support. it's fun to learn new phrases now those are just rattling around in my brain #i also think people must be getting pushback from publishers bc i don't think the audience for sff is typically #too fussed about learning new words?#there is a fun side affect that sometimes i can't tell if something is a fantasy concept or just. a thing that happens in new zealand
