Just woke up from a dream about this man. Ugh I miss him

SPIKE FEARN as BJORN ALIEN: ROMULUS (2024) dir. Fede Álvarez

[theblueflower05]

still can't believe someone said Bjorn is the ugliest horror movie character they've ever seen 😭

[theblueflower05]

Y/n, watching Bjorn sleep: He's my life, my love, my everything. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping. I love him so mu-

Bjorn: *snores and turns in the bed, stealing the blanket*

Y/n: I can't live like this

[theblueflower05]

I’ve been on the Alien Romulus subreddit and the amount of negative and gross posts/comments about Bjorn are driving me crazy. like did we all watch the same movie??

I see a lot of comments saying: “People defending Bjorn need to get a grip, he was going to leave his cousin and rain there to die, he was a psychopath” etc, etc. 

I guess it goes hand in hand with interviews where it made it seem like Bjorn was the token bad guy, BUT LIKE?

Bjorn only ever cared about his friends, like everything he did was in an effort to save them up until he died.

• He checks on Navarro because she’s praying and seems nervous before they leave Jackson Star

• He’s the last one out of the room where the face huggers started attacking them and he tries his best to fight them off while the others are running

• He’s the first one who gets up and rushes to Navarro when he sees what’s happened to her. He repeatedly tries to remove it and refuses to leave her. And let’s not forget he sits with her and pets/holds her hand nearly the whole time she’s unconscious. He even turns and looks away when Tyler uses the cryo on the tail of the face hugger probably because it was so close to her neck. AND when she wakes up he’s immediately there holding her and talking softly/reassuring her

• He tells Tyler that he will let them in if they shut Andy off ((because he thought Andy was going to try and kill Navarro)) and he fights like hell to get up to where Navarro and Kay are when shit starts to hit the fan. He looks utterly heartbroken when he sees the chest burster, knowing that Navarro is dead

• THEN, he protects Kay by keeping her quiet and calm, before trying to kill the Xenomorph AND when he gets stabbed and acid starts to eat through him he begs Kay to stay away to keep her safe

I don’t think he was ever a bad person to anyone and even with Andy we as an audience learn why he feels the way he does, which doesn’t excuse it but yeah it makes sense. 

I’m glad the fanbase here on tumblr understands the depth of his character because Reddit loves to tear him apart and it pisses me off

Spike Fearn as Bjorn in Alien: Romulus (2024)

[theblueflower05]

Bjorn and his cute little fat girlfriend.

She’s feminine and social and soft. It’s such a fun juxtaposition to his moody, sharp burnout persona.

He’s never had comfort like this. Like her gentle touches, to her chime like giggle are an indulgence he’s never felt.

Also he’s fucking crazy about her curves. Her body. Fuck. He wants her to lay on him like a weighted blanket at all times, wants his head between her plush thighs and his face in her big ol’ tiddies

This is all I’ve been thinking about guys, help

Writing Character Accents in Fiction

Hey there, thanks for the question! I speak English as a second language; most English speakers I encounter aren’t native (yes, including fictional people); thus, this is a concern I’ve explored personally when I write. 

I think the core principle regarding accent writing is this: it shouldn’t be distracting. 

For the same reasons why Stephen King prescribes the basic dialogue tag “said” rather than fancier alternatives like “whispered”, “shouted” or “screeched”, dialogue must be first and foremost easy to read. It must flow like a real conversation – the pace and tone are a lot more important than how specific words are being pronounced by the character. 

Focus on what effect the accent has:

Using adjectives to describe their voice in general. Different types of English (American, British, Australian, etc.) will give off a different vibe, also partly dependent on how your character speaks in general:

Lilting: Having a smooth rise and falling quality; sing-song like. Welsh accent is often described as singing. 

Posh: from a high social class. This is the term generally used to describe the upper-class British accent.

Nasal: this happens when the sound goes through somebody’s nose when they’re speaking. North American accents are more nasal than, say, British pronunciations. 

Brash: harsh, loud, indicative of sounding a little rude. 

Slur: speaking indistinctly; words merging into one another.

Using metaphors.

Her voice was cotton and fluffy clouds. 

When he spoke, the ‘r’s scratched the insides of his throat. 

Mentioning their accent with a brief example(s). 

“Would you like to drink some wine?” she said, though her Indian accent gave extra vibration to her ‘w’s and ‘r’s, making the words sound more like ‘vould you like to drrrink some vine’.

“I want some chocolate.” His syllables were choppy and ‘l’s rather flat, saying ‘cho-ko-lit’. 

Some Tips:

Don’t phonically spell out everything. Perhaps give a few examples in the beginning, but stick to standard English spellings. 

Pay attention to word choice, slang, and colloquialisms. 

An Australian person would say “tram”, not “trolley; “runners” instead of “sneakers”

A Canadian may refer to a “fire hall” – what Americans call a firehouse or fire station

If your character comes from a non-Enligsh background:

Use vocabulary from other languages. 

“What time was the exam, ah? Two o’clock? Jiayou!” → putting “ah” or “la” at the end of sentences + Jiayou means “break a leg” in Singlish. 

“I can’t believe that 4-year-olds have their own SNS accounts now.” → “SNS” is short for “social networking service”, a term used to refer to social media in Korea. This would a subtle difference – even though it isn’t technically Korean at all!

Transpose grammar from different languages. 

For example, in French, plural nouns take plural adjectives (whereas in English, you would speak of ‘white cars’, not ‘whites cars’).

the look of love (for writers)

"it's all in the eyes i was once told"

catching the stare of someone across a crowded room

subtle furrowing of eyebrows beyond a blank facade

coldness easing into warmth

a fond mothering gaze

corner of the lip nudged upward

forced glower/glare as they break underneath

batting their lashes, playful

a boisterous laugh

intrigue piercing the stoic

proud smugness at the other's success

lingering glances

a childish joy bursting through

pupils dilate

eyelids shut in a look of peace, calm and trust

look of longing/betrayal

"there was once a time when they were mine"

terseness

features fold into a scowl

an urgent flinching back

coldness returns (as though the warmth had never come)

lips part then purse

invasion of shock

slow stare at the floor

the ripple effect of a swallow

frustrated breath/sigh

bitter laugh in reminiscence

dread tearing through the seams of their composure

look of hatred

"darkness"

mean smirk- teeth bared grimace- scowl

dismissive gaze

gaze of contempt/impatience

threat lowering the voice

sardonic goading grins verging on manic

rolling one's eyes

flicker of irritation in the eyes

stares stubbornly ahead despite distraction

gritted teeth, clenched jaw

fierce biting remarks

even measured complexions betraying no thought

strangling oneself back from violence

utter apathy

murderous silence hanging in the stare

snobbish laughter

smiling at another's downfall
