happy wip wednesday! I shall humbly request arsonist!neil like every week <3

I am very normal and I am not kicking my feet and giggling whenever you post btw I'm normal

WIP Wednesday (1/24) | Arsonist Neil / Firefighter Andrew AU (Part 92)

Neil blinks when he realizes how right Andrew is. He can’t imagine how difficult life would’ve been had he not been an only child. Would Mary have taken this hypothetical sibling as well or left them to rot in Baltimore? The thought makes him sick to his stomach.

10 You don’t like your brother? Andrew He’s my brother. I love him. He doesn’t like me. At least, he didn’t when we were younger. I think he does now. Maybe. A little, at least. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m not the most like-able person.

Neil frowns at that. Andrew is nice. He’s the easiest person to talk to. And he’s funny. What’s not to like?

10 You seem like-able to me. But what do I know, I’m just an arsonist. Andrew You're dumb. And speaking of your little hobby, you better cool it for a while. Last night was horrible. In fact, I’d say it counts as at least three fires.

Neil considers that for a moment. It was big, yes. One of the biggest fires he’s ever set. But…

10 Nope. One match, one building. One fire.

British Slang, Phrases and Idioms!

Finally getting this done! Special thanks to my Pa, because without him I wouldn’t know as much slang as I do LOL, we talk about this kind of thing on the regular, and he's my point of reference for this.

Remember, all of these phrases are very informal/casual, and the point of perspective is from England specifically, some of these words could mean something completely different to someone from a surrounding country. Some are moreso used by older people, while others are typical of a brit of any age. I’ll try my best to indicate as such!

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! Whether it's in the replies, a DM or an actual tumblr ask! I may do another list/add to this list if I remember more later on. Of course, others are free to add on to this, offer corrections or clarifications, etc! :)

Warnings: Vulgar language, very very brief NSFW mentions

Anyway, Slang and Phrases under the cut!!

Nouns

Bird(s): Woman/Women ("A couple of birds") - Can sometimes come off as a little sleazy, but not always. Depends on the way it's used. I'd say it's kind of mostly used in reference to women you aren't that familiar with? Can also be used to mean someone's girlfriend "That's X's bird," Used by all.

"That's a load of bollocks," / That's a load of bullshit

Phrases and Idioms

Bastard in general is a very versatile word, it can be used as an insult but also can just be used to refer to someone generally. See it as a sort of replacement for "guy" in some aspects (but not all). ("Poor guy,"/"Poor bastard,")

Combining the above two, you can get the wonderful phrase "All over the bastard shop."

1. Making fun of/mocking someone in a way that isn’t intended to be serious (teasing) (Sort of like “Fuck with,”)

Rhyming Slang

Tits-up: something going horribly wrong. Used by all. ("It's all going tits-up,")

Wind(ing) someone up: Similar to taking the piss, purposefully being annoying by making fun, teasing or playing practical jokes. ("Where's X?" "He's winding Y up.") May also be used in disbelief when you think someone is being unfair or dishonest ("Are you winding me up?") Used by all.

Wind up merchant: As above, a wind up merchant is someone who enjoys winding someone up, this name is often given in annoyance by the victim

Rhyming Slang gets its own section because it's a wide and wonderful topic. I can't put every possible option, but I'll pick a few favourites. I highly reccommend anyone who's interested to look into it more. Rhyming slang can also just be made up on the spot, and I'd say it's moreso used by older folk.

To use rhyming slang, you just use the phrase in the place of the actual word you're substituing out. Basically just like using synonyms.

Some rhyming slang can be shortened further into just a word.

Bell Ringers/Bellies: Fingers

Boat Race/Boat: Face

Brown Bread: Dead

Butcher's Hook/Butcher's/Butch: Look

Hank Marvin: Starving, hungry

Pat and Mick: Sick

Plates of Meat/Plates: Feet

Septic Tank/Septic: Yank (An American) 

Tea leaf: Thief

Two and eight: State (Describing someone who is dishevelled or upset.)

Extra/Misc

Depending on the situation, "fucking" can be turned into just "kin"

Ex. "Fucking Hell" can become "'kin 'ell!"

This also applies to "Fuck Off" which can just become "Koff"

Ex. "'koff with that shit,"

Depends on the situation honestly, sometimes the "fu" sound can be a lot more emphasised. The art of british swearing is a delicate one.

Insults can also be made out of pretty much anything, so long as it's put after "You absolute-"

Cunt can be a little divisive when used (some have no problem using it, others find it to be too abhorrent to use) but it's used pretty commonly.

[Image text: I wear my official Ren necklace, but everyone knows I’m a ‘cat person’, so I get questions about why I’m wearing a dog necklace. Thankfully, my mom had a Pomeranian years ago and I tell people I have the necklace to remember the dog. It’s easier than explaining DMMd.]

and i still haven't even really touched on tyr and ardun's relationship and how much tyr pulls from his relationship to the minister and don't even get me started on how 'that's my boy' is an actual line in-game from ardun i'm not okay i'm not well about it, tyr very likely isn't either and good gods has anyone ever asked nine if they're okay with how many goodbyes they never got to say

brb currently going insane over this art tutorial i found while rummaging thru pinterest for art refs that somehow implies fucking blackface is ok but stylization is not

[id: an image that shows different ways of drawing lips, with a check mark of a cross above them, to indicate right and wrong ways of drawing them. among the correct examples are lips drawn as a line, circled around with another solid line and filled in with a darker colour, very similar to how lips are drawn in blackface. among the incorrect examples are lips drawn simply and asymmetrically, with jagged lines and shapes. end id.]

good morning 🥺

Is there a possibility the bishops could be healed of some mental sickness like Azazel was? Not exactly sure how they could be redeemed since they lost their control of the crowns like Narinder so they couldn't even BEGIN to try and undo the genocide like in another AU, but are they even able to get their remorse back?

Well, gonna say first and foremost, chalking up their crimes to 'mental sickness' and implying they'll automatically be absolved/be better people if they were magically 'cured' isn't exactly a good way to look at things.

Yeah, the bishops are gonna get pretty messed up, and it will explain their logic and how they steadily got to the point they were at at the start of the game--Admittedly I'm not going to cover the entirety of the several thousand years they were in power, and mostly leave it up in the air for people to see "Ah, so it started Here and then got Worse as time went on."

But, speaking as a mentally ill person, implying they are without any form of remorse and that all of their bad decisions are solely because of their mental issues does more harm than good for Real People with mental issues. Mental illness can explain, but should not excuse, actions of the magnitude the bishops have gone through with.

Azazel's specific circumstance has yet to actually be elaborated on--It was supposed to be sudden, confusing, and even concerning, for them to have such a complete 180, and a basic bonk on the head isn't going to automatically fix them or negate what they did.

Before the bishops were bishops, they were people. And they are still people, all things considered. But they've been warped by their own flawed views, have had centuries to stagnate on them, and due to their positions, have worked themselves into a state of believing themselves to be above it all.

If they decide that they do want to change for the better, that'll have to come as a result of a lot of introspection and work on their end, because as I said in an earlier ask, there are many shades of grey to this situation as a whole.

I don't want people to demonize them because 'oooooh they're messed up in the head', because I'm messed up in the head, and how do you think that would make me, and other mentally ill people, feel?

My desire in terms of characterization is to make these guys feel human (Ignore the fact they aren't human, you know what I mean). Complex, faceted, and none of the ugly parts smoothed over.

Not even Star, who is my favorite by virtue of being my OC, is exempt from this. She's not a good person, and I've shown several instances of that.

So basically, tl;dr, chalking all they've done wrong up to 'mental sickness' and implying remorse would only come if it were to magically clear away is not a Great Take, admittedly, anon.

I watched a couple of episodes from the 90s Mr Men Show

A very happy day for Mr Happy: firstly, if Mr Happy gets that sad when his friends are mildly inconvenienced I hope for his sake he never reads the news. also, Miss Greedy, Mr Jelly and Miss Neat didn't do anything wrong, Mr Happy asked them how their days were going, and their days happened to not be going very well and they told him so, and he apparently couldn't handle it? And Miss Greedy, Mr Jelly and Miss Neat all need to change their behaviour instead of Mr Happy learning how to healthily deal with his emotions? fr if you're sad for days when some of your friends tell you they're a bit upset then... that's definitely a bad sign of smth

Golly, Mr Grumpy's smiling: firstly screw you narrator he's smiled in multiple other episodes. secondly what the fuck Miss Magic??? bitch just overrode the will of an entire town to prove a point to local grumpy old man. and Mr Grumpy doesn't really do anything wrong? aside from generally being a bit snappy and one instance of queue jumping (and that was a repeat of an incident in which he was told by the people queueing to go ahead). idk what to tell you man I just generally relate to Mr Grumpy and he's my fave, even in this show.

Miss Magic thinks she's Aesop or smth. Goes around performing magic on people (may or many not be without telling them) to tell her moral fables.

Mr Bump is way too hard on himself, damn

Mr Tall is a sweetheart and deserves the world
