#bilingualism can be a bitch sometimes
Text
Few things in my life are as frustrating as trying to find the dominican music I used to listen to as a kid. I have a shit memory and I can't speak Spanish let alone read it/write it. I stg tho one day I'll find all my favorite songs and then it's over for you bitches
#rambling#sometimes i think abt how i couldve been a bilingual baddy if it were for the childhood neglect and scare tactics#or perhaps im inherently just a little bitch. who can really say

Language (The Demon Brothers)
★ Based on my language general hcs. Part 2 is here.
Hi. Today we have the demon brothers language hcs, brought to you by a single dumbass bilingual. :D
I include mentions of bilingual/multilingual MC, but I use the term MC and you interchangeably in the bullet points. It's the same thing who cares (you can also add whatever languages you think fit I am just going off vibes tbh)
★ Lucifer.
Since he was the strongest and highest ranked out of the brothers, his innate abilities were muddled the least.
This is to say that he remembers a lot from his innate knowledge as an angel, and can actually fare incredibly well on his own if you leave him in the human realm.
(the language he preferred back in his angel days was Archaic Latin, which is also Simeon's preferred language)
When Diavolo brought up the idea of the human exchange program he was like "(: ok" and binged human language for like two months straight like a total psychopath
He's like one of those fancy 10+ languages fluent polyglots (how)
Despite his fluency, it is rare to ever see him speak them. He has better things to do and prefers demon tongue.
Or if he does, the Loquar Ad Vos that was applied to you once you arrived in Devildom doesn't allow you to hear it.
You try to swear in your native language around him and oh boy it backfires
That is how you learn he's fluent in everything under the sun (exaggeration)
Frustrated, you grumble that you will learn demon tongue just to one up him
He takes it like a challenge. Enjoy reading a million books on the demonic language and having double the homework for your little joke.
(he gives you hard material to learn on purpose to see you fail. Enjoy hell buckoo. Double hell? Hell²)
You kept misspelling good morning in demon tongue as a demonic death threat and that somehow turned into an inside joke between the two of you.
He has to keep himself from chuckling whenever MC screws up words
Your accent is lovely though. Keep it up
★ Mammon.
Spanish and English.
Ok I actually can't justify myself further than "Mams would absolutely fucking go to Vegas" and the fact that USA has a large Latino population but hear me out
You cannot tell me that he would not watch telenovelas. Like. C'mon.
he has the vibes of a Spanish speaker is what I am saying
he was SO frustrated about having to learn human languages you have no idea
In fact he probably still struggles a bit and that makes him really mad
Why is it so complicated all of the sudden?! It wasn't complicated Before!
He unconsciously associates human languages with the trauma of the fall, and the stress and hurt and turbulent emotions it conveys
So learning new languages besides the two he knows is a touchy subject for him
(but like, he will learn MC's native language despite this. Whining to hell about it, but he will. Everything for MC)
You are actually very lucky that you have Loquar Ad Vos with you, bcs he actually switches from demon tongue to either English or Spanish mid sentence sometimes.
Not that you notice with your crusty translator (Loquar also works for human languages it supports), of course.
"Ayo can you [Spanish phrase], oh and give me a [English word], for a [spanglish nonsense]" <- Mammon's dumbass not functioning in trilingual
Also he has an accent but he's trying
The others are used to it so they don't question it anymore, but they deadass could not understand Mammon at some point because trilingual was not computing
It was frustrating to say the least
You two play charades with each other when the other forgets a word in your respective languages
"MC WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE ANIMAL FUCK THAT CHANGES HOME" "... Hermit crab?" "THATS THE BITCH"
★ Leviathan.
Japanese (very decent) and English (bad) are musts.
You cannot tell me for a second this fuck watches anime subbed OR dubbed. He's too weeb for that. He will watch the original dub version for the full emotional impact
He wanted to know what happens in the weeb world of the west (and internet discourse), so he learned English through shitty 2000s anime forums and Duolingo
Probably plays Duolingo competitively and/or cries if he loses his streak
His hearing and speaking English is okay, his writing is literally so so shit
Tried to learn a romantic language to be corny but failed miserably.
(He steered clear of languages his brothers know so he isn't self conscious)
It was probably Portuguese or something since Mammon kept talking about being good at figuring it out as a Spanish speaker (due to it being a romantic language)
The diacritical marks killed him on the spot
Meu português não é bom... (crying)
Victim of the you're* corrections
Runs his several-paragraphs-long rants about weeb stuff through Satan so the grammar is legit
Actually thinking about it would be absolutely fucking hilarious if he knew russian just for funsies. Yeah add Russian to the list
He sends you crusty Russian memes at unholy hours in the morning. Calls that bonding
Would absolutely swear in loud ass Russian while playing Valorant or smt
"ПИЗДЕЦ" "LEVI IT'S 2AM SHUT THE FUCK UP"
Ah + he knows Morse code (obviously). He was really excited when he discovered it and proceeded to obsess over it for like three weeks straight.
Although by the time he learned about it humans had already moved on from its wide-spead use at sea (post-1999), the Devildom Navy adapted Morse code for their own use as per Levi's command.
He teaches MC how to use Morse code (bashfully) and they send lil' messages to each other for fun
★ Satan.
He inherited a good chunk of Lucifer’s angel-knows-all-languages innate talents.
He doesn't have the angel knowledge of every language, of course, but he definitely has a really high count since birth; Unlike his brothers who had to relearn their languages of interest.
However, he can tell™ that the topic of languages is kinda taboo-y, as it signifies the traumatic fall he himself was not there to witness, and kept quiet about it.
The others (mostly) think he just learned languages in his free time.
He is the designated google translate person. When the other brothers need translations, they ask him.
He gets very frustrated when he has to translate something on the spot
Absolutely knows Chinese and Latin just to read fancy old human books and be a menace about it
He has a copy of the Art Of War in Chinese I will fight you on that
Actually he probably owns every important human book in its native language
Culprit of the you're* corrections
If he has to read another thesis-length essay abt weeb shit by leviathan he will actually lose his shit
You know the Voynich manuscript? He's probably trying to decode it for funsies.
If you and him (unfortunately) share a language, he will absolutely correct the living shit out of you when you speak it
Look me in the eyes and tell me he wouldn't "erm ACtuAllY" MC. You can't.
His ass does not understand slang. At all. You tell him See You Later Alligator and he'll be like "tf you smoking ಠಿ_ಠ?"
★ Asmodeus.
French. And Korean. Maybe very mid English.
Ok so french is the language of lOVe and whatever + Korea is known for their heavy beauty-focused culture
I can see Asmo definitely picking up Korean just for makeup and self care brands purposes.
Like it is easier to browse for products he wants if he can actually browse the original places/websites himself
It's just more convenient and he's actually very good at language learning
+ Korean it is a "cutesy" language so it fits his vibe.
Like he absolutely would go "안녕 teehee ( ꈍᴗꈍ)" to look disarming is what I am saying
He flirts to hell with Solomon in French. It is a language they both know and isn't supported by Loquar for translation so nobody can snoop their conversations
If you have the misfortune of knowing French I am so sorry for you bcs they are NASTY
Solomon is teaching him English. Asmo fakes being bad at it on purpose
★ Beelzebub.
He knows a decent amount of English.
What does he use it for? Order food. Obviously.
In fact everyone kinda assumes he just knows a few food orders and that's it but no he's actually very decent at English (borderline fluent)
He learned through clunky conversation with small restaurant owners
Beel actually makes a great effort to enunciate every word clearly, so he doesn't like speaking long sentences
"Would you like Salsa with that, sweetheart?" "... Yes," <- Beel has no fucking clue wtf salsa is but it tastes good so who is he to defy food gods (a nice Mexican grandma with a killer Pozole) whom have blessed him
I also think he would probably know some kind of sign language
Fingerspelling maybe, solely because it allows him to talk while having his mouth full or bcs his games are loud and he can't hear words very well
That and, like, the Devildom equivalent of sign language. DSL or something.
Look at him. Absolute sweetheart. He would absolutely want to include deaf or hard of hearing ppl.
★ Belphegor.
Ok so
I am going to be very fr with you
I believe Belphie would be the only monolingual (demon tongue "native") of the brothers
at most he would remember a few phrases of a few languages from back when he was an angel, but not any specifics
Like this dude has ZERO interest in human culture I cannot think he would sit down to (re)learn anything
he would fall asleep trying to learn human verbs actually
He only knows how to tell you to fuck off on 4 languages (/hj)
None which you speak. So that's kinda awkward
He doesn't know how to cast Loquar (nor has any interest in learning how)
Beel casts it for him if he needs it
He can and will deadass just remove the translator spell from you if you try to annoy/interact with him (except if Beel is who casts it on you).
(so Beel now also casts Loquar for you)
Begone >:(
#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me! shall we date?#obey me lucifer#obey me mammon#obey me leviathan#obey me satan#obey me asmodeus#obey me beelzebub#obey me belphegor#obey me hcs#caineshcs

Hasan Piker | Dad headcanons
I’ve done it. I made them, it took so long. Enjoy.
@starsyoubreaklikesugardust
Hasan and Skin on Skin in the hospital. He’s just this big man sipping on his juice, my man definitely passed out at least once during the birth, with his little baby boy sleeping on his chest. Hasan is also probably sleeping. Everyone in the hospital room has had a long day, but it’s a peaceful few minutes.
He’s so soft and gentle with the baby. It genuinely surprised him with how small the boy is. Like he’s seen newborns before, he even held them. But his own kid??? It has to be a Big Boy, I mean your stomach was so large when you were pregnant. So when he first held it, it blew his mind, and also unlocked the new fear of how easy it could be to harm him.
He likes to stare at you before, but now anytime he see you with the kid he actually just stops for two to three minutes to watch the two of you. It does not matter where you all are or what is going on, he’s just obsessed with his new little family.
It was decided that you would go on shifts with the kid, he’d take the day and you the night. His job makes it easy for him to be able to get up when he’s in the middle of something and take care of the kid, and it also makes sure that you're able to recover.
This leads to a lot of the baby being on stream, and Hasan has mixed feelings about that. Ultimately it’s decided that The kid can be on stream but everyone knows that his name is not to be said anywhere online. Insead the kid is called different pet names, a lot of Turkish ones.
Also when Hasan has guest on the stream, you can bet that they are holding that baby. Austen, Will, QT, Rae, everyone. He’s just a social little boy, and he loves being with people. Like he’ll babble at people when their holding him, not his father though he’s just so entranced with that man.
One of these bitches being in the streaming room, There will just be segments where he could be talking about some super serious political stuff and there is just a baby looming in the background.
The chat constantly undermining him when he says the baby needs to do something. Like they be typing things like “Let him speak” anytime they baby is on stream or “Ask him first” when Has is getting ready to put him down for a nap.
One of the most notable changes to the stream format is that there is now a section where the kid gets to talk about something random for like 10 minutes. Sometimes it’s about things he’s learned, other times the kid is just like “Cows moo '' Hasan gets so into it and loves encouraging it. Always asking for more.
Anytime this kid is on stream he’s offering his snacks to the people around him. Hasan is the only person who always takes the food, but most people take it most of the time.
Chat also freaks out everytime when He babbles into the microphone. They also lose their shit when he says his first on stream. Honestly no one’s ready.
Speaking of the baby talking, he is raised in a bilingual house. Hasan is adamant on the kid knowing turkish, you also take up learning it. The look he gives on you when you say anything in his first language. He just loves you so much.
Hasan is also obsessed with holding the kid. Like as a newborn, this kid is just in Has’s arms whenever possible. He’s holding this kid like a football all the time, it’s really one of the only holds the kid likes. He also is constantly wearing a baby carrier, he forgets that he’s wearing most of the time. He’ll go one stream and just see a chatter mentioning it and he's like ”Oh shit”.
As the kid gets a bit older the kid likes to mess with Hasan’s beard. He’s entranced with it. It’s a bit annoying at first but Hasan grows to love it, to the point of learning how to talk/rant while making faces.
I personally don’t think that the kid would have a favorite, but i do think that he would pick up on Hasan habits more than yours. Like the kid would start staring at you, he doesn’t like biting his fingernails but he does like putting his hands in his mouth.
Hasan is an arts and crafts dad.
Like he’s doing the finger painting, the macaroni noodle art, He’s making matching bracelets for all three of you. When I was in kindergarten we made these Santa Ornaments out of clay. There is definitely at least one of them.
More about those bracelets, the are from those bracelets kits that you make on you can buy at any store. They have little charms on them, one for each of you, and have little nicknames spelled on them. Hasan’s has “papa bear” , the kids says “lil bear” and so on.
Also Hasan loves putting the boy in jewelry, honestly is basically a love language at this point. He just finds so much joy in having his little baby decked out in his absurdly large necklaces. Same goes for his hats and clothes. They just drown the kid.
On the topic of clothes, Hasan loves matching his son. Its another love language of his. He’d wake up with the baby and let him out what shirt to wear, then he’d change the kid into something that matches. There are some days when all three of you are matching, not like you're all wearing the same shirt but like it's the same color scheme or shoes.
Hasan is also obviously a PTA parent, there is not a meeting he’s not at. He’d be there with his youngest attached to him, just verbally attacking others ``Valery, not only is your pie bad but your ideas are stupid. You aren't even considering the fact that there are people, children, who live outside of the district that your proposal will affect. Or did you not consider that.” and “You can’t cook worth shit” it’s a whole job in itself to get him to stop cursing when making a point.
I mentioned going to family owned/hole-in-the- wall places when dating, but when he y’all have a family? Museum trips all the time, The family owned restaurants? They know you three so well to the point of the owner treating you like family themselfs.
Everytime he walks past his kid, no matter what he’s doing, he could be on an important phone call, he’s saying to the kid. He makes it a point to always stop and say “hello” while waving. This is the main reason why his son's first steps are because he wasn't greeted when Hasan was walking past him to go back on stream. The kid obviously follows him, Hasan does see him once he’s sat down, he of course picks him up and starts to talk to him, it is then that he realizes that his kid went from one room to another without anyone helping him. He gets super excited.
It is at this point the kid becomes a little pest. He’s always interrupting everything, streams, videos, calls, whatever. He comes in shots ``Papa look” and hands him something random, leaves, rocks, cords, just random things he’s found in the house or in the backyard. He once brought him a bug that was alive, which made for a fun clip.
This kid also has this habit of running up to the microphone saying “Hi” and running off. Hasan will always run after to bring him back on stream, it's always a good laugh.
When the boy starts saying curse words, because he really is so much like his dad, you make it Hasan’s job to have the kid understand when the correct time to use those kinds of words are. It’s just Hasan getting on knees in the middle of a store to explain to his son why shouting “fuck” after dropping and breaking a container of pickles in the store is not the right time or place for that kind of language.
Big fan of mentioning the baby on podcast. He’ll be on Chadvice and say things like ”Chat you can trust me, I mean look, I’m a real man, I have family. You can trust me.” You could catch him on the Fear& podcast just holding the baby while Will keeps asking the bay for his opinions.
He is a family man, you know that he is constantly taking pictures of both you and the kid. When the two of you are napping together? He takes like five. Making dinner together as a family, he gets so many pictures, anytime his hands aren't full he’s taking one. As do you, He has the kid and is entertaining him and doesn’t release that you're up? You have so many pictures of him playing with his son and the trucks. Hasan and his son are in the pool? you definitely have like a hundred photos of that.
Hasan takes the kid to basketball practice with him, always making sure that the kid gets at least one score each time. He holds the boy while the boy has a ball in his grasp, just walking up to the basket so the kid can score. Everyone who is there makes it a big deal.
The kid not wanting to go from his crib to a big boy bed? It’s decided that the thing to do is sleeping in the bed with the kid until he knows that it's safe to sleep there alone, and on nights when Hasan is the one to sleep with the boy, you bet all 6’5 of him is scrunched up on a twin bed, it makes for such a funny sight.

i’m super happy and excited to see somebody else using speech to text. i have clumsy and painful hands so typing on keyboards and screens sometimes hurts too much, and dictation helps bridge that gap. it can b really frustrating, esp when the client has limited recognition, or it’s in chaotic bilingual mode, but it’s still such a versatile and helpful tool :3
oh my god yes nobody else has ever said they also use speech to text! That's amazing! But also I'm sorry that you have to use it because it's also terrible! Do you actually have any recommendations for speech to text software, like, for the computer. Because right now I just use my iPad but it's kind of a bitch
Anyway speech to text solidarity hell yeah

Tell me about your stories! What kind of stories you like to write? Any particular themes you like to explore? Any trope you're fond of (plot or character wise or both)? What inspire you as a writer?
Thanks so much for the ask!
I’ve been writing for as long as I remember; I think I must have written my first short stories when I was still at primary school and then got a bit more serious about it in high school (I held the school record for most words ever written in an essay for a very long time—brevity is not my forte, in absolutely nothing I write).
I am bilingual, and I usually write in my other language because I perceive it as slightly stronger (I grew up in a different country, my mum didn’t speak English with me, only my father did. I moved to an English-speaking country some 20 years ago though and mostly speak English today). My published books are all in my other language. However, I write fan fiction exclusively in English, for a million reasons, but mostly because it gives me a different voice I guess, and I can stay anonymous 😂? In any case, it’s quite interesting to explore how your voice changes between languages…
I love writing dialogue. It’s my greatest strength and my biggest weakness. I had editors tell me to look into screenwriting, and I always need to watch that I don’t write talking heads. I am not particularly fond of reading pages of descriptive text to set a scene (I don’t care about every tiniest detail of a wallpaper, unless it is truly essential for the plot and your name is Charlotte Perkins Gilman), so I think that has always bled into my own writing. I personally detest purple prose, it makes my eyes glaze over, and I don’t think it’s necessarily good writing to be ornate for ornamentation’s sake. It always reads self-indulgent to me and disrupts the narrative flow.
What inspires me? The human condition, psychology and philosophy, and although I mainly write (often steamy) romance, all my works deal with existential questions. I sometimes think it’s only romance because there’s a love story at its core, and I’ve definitely written stories that my publishers handed back to me because they didn’t fulfil genre expectations for romance enough (romance is probably the genre with the least breathing space, and publishing is a whole ‘nother topic).
Generally speaking, I think I just like people, despite being the worst introvert in existence (I am not shy, neither do I have social anxiety, and I find it important that people get that cognitive introversion is not the same as being anxious or shy. I can convincingly pretend I am an extrovert and have done presentations and performances in front of hundreds of people without problems. I can also start conversations and keep them going without trouble, and my whole life is built around human connection. But I can only do so much of it before I need to lie down in a dark room and feel completely drained, and I mostly live in my head if given the choice).
I like to write about human relationships, about grief and loss, also about trauma, but not in a self-serving way. I think the fact that I am a therapist (amongst other things—complicated life story) always makes me look at a way through instead of lingering on it, while at the same time acknowledging that these things stay with us forever. There is no life without them, but there is living with them.
I like to write female characters, and near all my works have female protagonists. I write both f/m and f/f relationships. I detest the caricature of strong women characters that seems quite popular though—they do everything the way a man does, have the physical strength of a man and generally behave like a bitch. I believe strong characters are not afraid of their vulnerability, and I find that a million times more interesting to explore and write.
Apart from that, I can work with most tropes and wouldn’t have particular problems with any if they slot nicely into the plot, but there are definitely some I haven’t written because there was just no opportunity yet, or I don’t find them particularly interesting. I mean, most of us are walking tropes in one way or another, but we’re also more than that. Am I particularly fond of particular ones? I don’t know. I quite like the idea of soul mates, and although it’s not always realistic, it’s interesting to write because it makes us think about what is important in ourselves and our connection to others. So I rather see it as an exploration of human connection than something that is the be all, end all. Funnily enough, I often write friendships that go into that direction, so it doesn’t always need to apply to sexual/romantic relationships. Even my fanfic has a female friendship in it that somewhat falls into that category, and it was important to me not to sideline it, despite it not being the main plot.

My brain just went haywire.
My vocabulary is rather big and bilingual, but my every day speech consists mostly of vine references, memes and internet slang.
Imagine Choso (just cause he fits best for this but Nanami would work too) trying his hardest to understand you when you start falling into that speech.
For example:
There’s a storm warning and you blurt out “IT FUCKEN WIMDY”. Or you finished a can of soda and when you throw it away you’re like “THIS BITCH EMPTY. YEET”
And he’s just trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL you’re saying. Meanwhile Yuji is cracking up cause OBVIOUSLY he gets all the references and the memes.
~ Nanami flowershop anon
he thinks you’re just odd but in an endearing way and has no idea that you’re the prime example of modern comedy 😂😂😂
over time he picks up certain mannerisms and references without realizing and sometimes he uses them wrong but it’s so sweet (and HILARIOUS) that he’ll calmly and casually go “fuck it we ball” for no reason at the grocery store

Being neurodivergent really is like being a fucked up kind of bilingual sometimes.
Let me explain:
You speak more than one language. You have to translate ideas and concepts in your head into words when you want to relay them to someone else. Depending on the ideas you're trying to relay, this can be a real unsatisfactory bitch of a situation. Especially if the person you're talking to doesn't speak all the other languages you can speak or the language you are trying to convey the ideas in is not your strongest or even just it's a new concept they've never fucking heard of.
Now, instead of speaking a different language, imagine you speak the same damn language but have to translate the way you sound in your head to sound more believable/friendly/intelligent/etc. All arbitrary concepts that are defined differently by every person you speak to. Oh, and you have no idea what makes any of these things more [insert meaningless social signaling here] just you have to do it or your humanity is called into question. This is obviously different if you speak to someone with the same brain languages as you.
Now imagine no matter how hard you study, you never gain more comprehension of what it is people want to hear because it changes or worse: They don't actually want you to "be yourself". They just want you to be obvious in how "wrong" you are so they can shun you faster and with no guilt.

Yentas
Hello friends. Today I would like to talk about the Yentas. For those of you that are unfamiliar with this word, let me explain. A Yenta is a Jewish woman who hears information and spreads it around like wildfire. So basically we are talking about all the old ladies from my mother’s generation. Make no mistake- they have always been yentas for as long as I’ve known them, so we are talking over 50 years. But now they are all approaching their octogenarian years, and what filters they may have had- that’s funny actually- I’m pretty sure none of them even know what a filter is. Yeah. No filters. For example- let’s go back about 12 years or so. My now late husband Mitch and I were not married yet, but we purposefully tried to make a baby, and wouldn’t you know it? That process works! I was 38, and he was 43. We were thrilled. Mitch worked at a cardiology practice where one of the Yentas was a patient. Now, for this story, let’s call this Yenta “Ruth.” She was one of my mother’s friends I truly loved. On this particular day, Ruth showed her true colors, and because I have been blessed with good friends, who sometimes need to act as mini yentas themselves, I found out about it. And my opinion of this woman changed in an instant. Ruth was a patient at the cardiology office where Mitch worked. Our friend Sarah was working at the front desk one morning when Ruth had an appointment. She checked in with Sarah, and then asked, “Does Mitchell Montgomery work here? He’s dating my good friend’s daughter.” She absolutely knew he did. Sarah was excited about our news and told her, “Yes! They are engaged actually!” To which Yenta Ruth replied, “ You know why they are getting married, don’t you?” And made the hand gesture of a pregnant belly. Well. You can imagine Sarah’s shock at the negative gossipy comment that came from this old bitch. Sarah went right back to Mitch’s office and told him about it, Mitch called and told me about it, and I knew about it before Ruth was even finished with her appointment. This bitch. Man, that was a long time ago. Ruth is now playing Mah Jong in Yenta heaven which I imagine is an all you can eat Chinese buffet that they all stuff themselves with but complain about the food, which is ok because the waitstaff is bilingual and they talk shit about the Yentas and laugh right in their faces. Sisterhood, my ass.

Do Americans genuinely not understand how easy it is to learn a language with a different alphabet/writing system? You literally just learn the letters, learn the words, then sound them the fuck out, and then you spell it. If you're wrong, that's fine, just try again. That's how I learned English, I see people from countries that don't use the Latin alphabet and spent an hour learning a few English words to make a post or something with that write in better English then all of you.
Maybe living in America just automatically removes vital parts of your brain because ever since I've learned English, I forget how to speak my own language sometimes.
Everyone should become bilingual because then you can have more friends and also it makes you 1000x smarter AND hotter and you pull ALL the bitches (I'm lying my ass off right now, I just want to brainwash you all into learning Russian because when we invade you, you can plead for your life and we will understand!!)

D , K , L , S , T , W , Z . good monin .... looks at you respectfully kissin ... hi ..... hello . hey
Answerin' this so latey but still! myah myah
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
Depends on fandom,but from iii, clover/nickel and candle/silver spoon. which i know you do like but i just cant help but be annoyed by em sometimes. particularly the latter cuz yknow. f/o.
non object and unrelated to shared fandoms, definitely Jonmartin. I know they're canon i know wah wah the dinghy I DONT FUCKING CARE. martin is a little bitch to Jon during the eyepocalypse and idk. idk he gets on my nerves. JonMichael forever actually. (And i like martin with peter lukas. toxic gilf win.)
K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
Depends on the fandom, object wise i wanna say Balloon (especially in iii), and while i also love Flowers arc i feel she got a bit watered down at the end of bfb. Quite curious to know where Robot Flower's is going though. Non object fandom, I wanna say Riko from made in abyss has some amazing development,and in general the arc around Vueroeruko and Irumyuu was fucking insane. Sobbing immediately and violently.
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves.
Ugh. Candle is not a bitch and im mostly just uncomfortable with how close she is with silver and her chill attitude is Annoying to a certain degree. Cabby is Fine in the very late episodes and her friendship with yinyang is Nice. Non object related, uhh. uhhhh. idk i dont have any MAJOR hatred i think. or if i do it's so bad i Deleted them from my brain lmao.
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon
Oh there's so many, I'll try to stay away from my super edgy ones You Know,but let's see. object specific, here's a handful,will just do objects here cuz easier:
test tube is a coffee nerd. She loves all the borderline sciencey work to pull a single shot of espresso. and she WILL get annoying about it if not stopped
Baseball and Cheesy both have braces
Knife is a big fan of kawaii shit and loves the color pink. After the dora incident he's less shy about having one or two little keychains or plushies.
Tree likes to smoke and is in his late 30s. I will Not elaborate,i just know I'm Correct.
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
some headcanons ill die defending are mostly darker ones,honestly. but i guess heres some misc. ones from multiple fandoms
- Julian (The Arcana) has BPD and i will never back off from that
- Kenny (south park) sometimes is cis and sometimes isn't,depending how his body regenerated after the latest death
- Yin and Yang (inanimate insanity) have an extremely codependent fucked up relationship
- Rick (Rick & Morty) is bilingual and can speak spanish perfectly. Yes i know this is basically canon but goddamn if the show NEVER brings it up. Im salty about this.
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
Any fucking barista/florist/whatever the fuck AU. you people are boring,jesus. And poorly done Enemies to Lovers (ENEMIES ARE EQUALS) or Bully/Victim ships portrayed as good (toxic dynamics can stay tho)
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!
Bro I'm tired,, but i wanna talk about fandom in general and how fucking annoying it is that people are always going for wholesome and pure and fluffy and like. yes that's fine and all but i miss when fandom was owned by the freaks. I feel like even the concept of fandom has gone far FAR too mainstream and it's annoying as all hell. It's difficult to not want to just live in a little corner. Also people treat writers and artists like fucking. content machines and it sucks so much. people used to establish friendships over this but now even requests are BARELY polite. Bleh. Also bring the kinkmeme livejournals back

btsf!verse au: wen qing says goodbye to wen ning and makes a decision that changes their lives. (English translation under cut)
“ 阿宁, 我曾今说过总有一日会带你离开不夜天。可能在这一切发生之前我还抱着一种幻想，一个相信温若寒回放你我姐弟二人全身而退的幻想。可你也看到了，温旭烧了云深不知处， 温晁血洗了莲花坞。若温若寒赢了，你我一辈子也就只能活在他的股掌之中。若他输了，他犯下如此有为天道的罪过，同为温室子弟， 我们又当何罪呢？ 其他四大门派会放过我们吗？在他们眼里或许我们的被动并非明哲保身的下策而是助纣为虐的证据。”
“阿姐，可你也同我说过温伯伯的养育之恩，而温氏家训教之知恩必报。”
“何为养育之恩？当年你我二人是因谁才惨遭幼丧双亲之痛？父亲母亲神灵在上，我们的所作所为究竟是知恩图报还是认贼为父？医者仁也，可什么是仁什么是义，在这乱世里还能分辨的清吗？”
“阿姐你别这么看着我，我 - 我害怕。你 -你到底想说什么？”
“阿宁，从今天起忘记有我这个姐姐吧。魏无羡和江厌离的出现。。。真的不会再有比这更好的机会了。明日你就和他们一起启程去梅山。魏无羡已经答应了，江姑娘现在不能没有人在身边观诊，你有我一半的医术，维持她到梅山虞氏处应该不在话下。”
“姐姐，姐姐你什么意思！我走了那你呢？! 你怎么办？! 温若寒扎守在夷陵的那些侍卫 -”
“我自有办法。当然需要魏无羡配合演一出戏。阿宁，你要知道知己知彼百战百胜，想要对付温若寒就必须釜底抽薪。温若寒需要我为他解围阴铁的魔性·，不到迫不得已他不会杀我。我有机会接近他，接近他的机密。”
“阿姐，不 - 不 这太危险了！”
“ 我是大夫，治病救人是我的职责和使命，可是我既会救人，当然就也会杀人。背水一战，我们没有别的选择了。
English translation under cut
“A-Ning, I had once said that one day I would take you away from Nevernight. Perhaps before all this happened I had born a vain delusion, a delusion that Wen Ruohan would allow you and I to retreat away from it all with our persons and dignities in tact. But now you see, Wen Xu has burned Cloud Recesses, Wen Chao has bathed Lotus Pier in blood. If Wen Ruohan wins, you and I will be spending the rest of our lives under his thumb, never to be free. If he loses, for all the crimes against morality and humanity he has committed, as his kins, what will be the indictment against us? The other four sects, will they be so merciful as to grant us pardon? Perhaps in their eyes, our passivity is not a sign of helpless self-defense when oppressed by tyranny, but rather evidence of our abetting Wen Ruohan’s ambitions.”
“Sister, but you’ve also mentioned to me of how Uncle Wen raised and nurtured us, and the teachings of our sect dictate that we repay our debts.”
“Raised and nurtured? Is that so? Who then was the cause of our losing both our parents so young? Mother and father’s spirits above us, will they see us as repaying a debt or will they see that we have aligned ourselves with their murderer? I was always taught that the principle of a physician is benevolence, but what is benevolence? What is righteousness? In this chaotic world, could we still discern the difference?”
“Sister, don’t - don’t look at me like that. I - I’m scared. What is it that you’re trying to say?”
“A-Ning, from this day forth, forget that you have a sister. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Yanli’s sudden appearance…there won’t be a better opportunity than this. Tomorrow, you will go with them to Meishan. Wei Wuxian has agreed: Jiang-gu’niang requires someone at her side to observe and assess her regularly. I’ve taught you half my skills, but it should be enough to get her to Meishan Yu Sect.”
“Sister, what - what do you mean? If I leave, what about you?! The guards that Wen Ruohan stationed at Yiling’s -”
“I have my ways. Of course, I’ll need Wei Wuxian’s cooperation to put on a convincing display. A-Ning, it is said that ‘know thy enemy and know thy self, thou shall fight and win a hundred battles’. If we want to defeat Wen Ruohan, we must get to his underbelly. He needs me to neutralize the demonic energy of the Yin Iron; he will not kill me until absolutely necessary. I will have opportunity to get close, get close to his secrets, learn of his weaknesses.”
“No! No! Sister, it’s too dangerous!”
“I am a physician; to cure illnesses and save lives is my duty and my calling. But since I know how to save, I also know how to kill. We stand now with our backs to the ocean and the battle is imminent, there is no place to run; I’m afraid we don’t have another choice.”

Idk if you still take requests but can you please write suga, kuroo, suna, atsumu and iwa headcanons where they date a foreigner s/o please??!!?!??!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
↬ Currently growing: What they'd be like if their S/O is a foreigner AKA Non-Japanese!
↬ Pairings: Sugawara Koushi + Kuroo Tetsurou + Suna Rintarou + Miya atsumu x GN!Foreign!Reader
↬ Watch out for: SHITTY WRITING!! + Slightly suggestive in Kuroo's and Atsumi's ig, but other than that, enjoy! <3
↬ Berry's note: Woowoo, working on emptying inbox :> Im so sorry for only writing the first 4 boys, writer's block almost ended me but still thank you for sending in your request lovely anon!!
• Sugawara Koushi:
- IS EVERY INFATUATED!!!
- Don't get the wrong idea, he treats like a normal person but having a foreign person in rural Japan is such a cool idea to him.
- Asks a lot of questions before you two started dating, about your language, culture, traditions etc and all that stuff of you know about it.
- Asks yoh to teach him curse words (SORRY I SEE HIM SOING THAT LMAO). Uses Google translate if you dont agree to do it but butchers the words so bad 💔
- If anyone says anything weird about you, you bet your ass he's gonna be all up in their face like "AYO YOU'RE SAYING SHIT ABOUT MY S/O, BITCH? 🤨🤨👹"
- Talks about you a lot!!! The Karasuno Male Volleyball team knows everything about you, from your eye colour to how you sometimes have an accent when speaking Japanese and it's the cutest thing ever.
- When he introduces you to the team, the tyranny trio (Noya + Hinata + Tanaka) bombard you with questions.
- The entire time Sugawara is holding on to you by the waist like "They're so lovely, I know <3"
- If you're struggling with Japanese, he'll be so happy to teach you. He feels so special because YOU asked HIM of ALLLLLL people, to help you with Japanese. He likes being your #1 :]
- If you ever feel homesick, he asks you to talk about your experiences there and what you love the most as a way to be positive. Negativity begone! >:D
• Kuroo Tetsurou:
- Is very interested in you. Treats you like his test subject (I'm sorry-)
- This begins before you two started dating, when you were a newly arrived student at his school. He heard about you through Inouka during practice when he was all "Yeah, and the new student in class ___ is so nice. Apparently, they've been here for [insert time ig] blah blah blah blah" and Kuroo was like "New? Foreign??? Student??? AND NO ONE TOLD ME? HOW AM I GONNA MAKE MY COOL FIRST IMPRESSION???".
- The next day, he approaches in the most extra way (Thinks he's being cool, no he's not 🗿) which was funny to watch and it made you laugh. He felt proud because he didn't even speak yet and you're already laughing. He slowly speaks in Japanese because he assumes you don't know it (kinda like dory in finding nemo).
- There's two ways this could go. Either you respond in perfect Japanese which impresses him so much and he gets flustered by your pure coolness because omg wow you're bilingual??? Or, your Japanese is very limited/not bad but not the best with a very noticable accent, which he has such a soft spot for and he thinks you're so adorable.
- When you two are together, he gets so invested in your origins. Will ask you SO many things. Your family, language, random facts, music, food and a whole lot of stuff. He wants to show you he's very fond of you, and that means everything about you
-Tries to crack a joke in your language but somehow insults you and brings your family into it because GOOGLE TRANSLATE IS NOT RELIABLE!!!1!1!
- If you ever speak on the phone using your mother language, he'll find that hot. Not kidding. Like you could simply be talking to your mom and he'll just watch you with a red face and dopey smile like "Hehehe you're so gorgeous while doing that, are you trying to seduce me hehe <3" LIKE MF IM ASKING HER WHAT DINNER IS GONNA BE TONIGHT
- Omg omg, flirt with him in your first language. He will literally be speechless. At the beginning, he's confused because you're holding his hand with a smirk on your face and wait why is your voice tone so sugar-coated and wait fuck he doesn't understand what you're saying but it seems like you're flirting with him and- Literally do just that and he'll evaporate on the spot pls
- In conclusion, he's a simp 🙄🙄
• Suna Rintarou:
- We all know Suna for being the absolute (subtle) menace that he is. Mans isnt emotionless, he just waits for the best moments to express himself
- So when he learned that there was a foreign student among the school body, he decided it would be an awesome idea to learn a few phrases and speak to you
- But because he's an absolute dumbass, he used GOOGLE FUCKING TRANSLATE!!! >:/ So many words and phrases were off but he thought he was doing a good job (he recorded himself to see how good he looked and after watching he went, "goddamn, im this hot?? 😩")
- The next day he approached you looking as calm as he usually does but his hair was more tousled and his hands were in his pockets (calls its "canon AFX"). You were like "yes? :]" and the next few words that came out of his mouth were not a normal response
- His butchered pronunciation and inaccurate TRANSLATION TOOL caused him to say "So I learned you arrived in the mail to our school, right 😏?"
- You were genuinely so confused so you asked him to repeat himself again, but it got worse and you couldnt fucking handle the way he was so smug while blatantly addressing you as a parcel that got delivered to the school
- You started to laugh while clenching your stomach, and Suna realised that maybe GOOGLE TRANSLATE isn't the best way to learn a new language. He stood there awkwardly, mentally punching himself as you clung to your desk for support
- After you recovered, you introduced yourself in Japanese which wasn't something he expected. He did the same with his face heating up thinking of how embarrassing he was
- You two couldn't help getting closer and closer everyday, your entire friendship came to be after that....unique 😃 first meeting
- Though, your compatibility was so high that not developing stronger emotions towards each other was inevitable. Btw he was the one who asked you out and confessed (get a mans who invests in you <3)
- During the early stages of your relationship, he asks you random questions about yourself and everytime you answer, he makes sure you can see how focused he is
- Sometimes when you're passionately explaining something from your culture/childhood, he gazes at you with stars in his eyes and his face cracks a tiny smile
- Asks you to teach him cute nicknames and petnames in your language so he can save you as that on his phone (I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH ☹)
- If anyone EVER makes a bitchy comment about you not being Japanese/makes you feel alienated, Sunarin will not hesitate to shittalk that bitch into tears.
- Probably takes language courses so he can talk with you and only you in your first language. Would only flirt tho LMAO
• Miya Atsumu:
- To him, you're the most perfect human
- Fell in love on the spot after talking to you for the first time. You had a slight accent when speaking and it added so much to your attractiveness to him
- Whenever you talk in your first language, he'll stare at you with stars in his eyes and his mouth slightly open wide. His mind doesn't understand how you can know more than 1 language (or 2, 3 etc) and he thinks that makes you even more cool
- Shows you off a LOT, especially around the volleyball team and they're so fascinated by you. Will rub the fact he has a partner in Osamu's face but mf doesn't even care about that (he asks you what kind of food you eat in your native country tho LMAO)
- This works for him and ONLY HIM: If you're having a fight and you yell at him in your first language, he'll get shy so quickly and he has to leave the room because he doesnt want to show you just how strongly that affected him. He turns red all over and his mind is just rushing with all kinds of thoughts. Honestly, he forgets why you two were even fighting. His brain is just full of "hehe y/n yelled at me <3"
- After he regains his composure, he probably kabedons you or something as revenge but whenever you do that, he's putty in your hands (i can confirm, im miya atsumu)
- If there's anything that you don't understand linguistically, he puffs his chest while explaining it you, plus he thinks you're so cute while listening to him, the cogs in your head turning as you memorize the meaning
- He gave himself the role of being your personal guide. He follows you almost everywhere and is more than ready to explain stuff to you <3
↬ Berry's after-writing note: Ok so we had a good 3-4 weeks of writer's block and these headcanons may be actually ass but i can work through it :D. thank you again for sending in your request anon <333

Y'ALL WE NEED SOME NON-TOXIC FRANK ZHANG HEADCANONS SO HERE
thanks to @the-dam-falafels , @apollo-in-a-trash-can , and @the-desi-theyshe for creating these!! (i didn't create any of these btw)
- there's no way his grandma didn't teach him how to cook and he makes really good food.
- he gives the warmest hugs (like scorpia and olaf).
- he can catch ANYTHING you throw at him. like he won't even be looking and you throw him a ball or something and he'll catch it somehow.
- so like obviously estelle is a huge disney kid. so she asks frank to perform i'll make a man out of you ALL THE TIME. LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY MEET. and he gets into it, like he's not frank zhang anymore he's li shang.
- he bitches about annoying people in chinese in front of them (not just him basically everyone in the rrverse who is bilingual/trilingual/polylingual does this).
- he's an elementary school teacher and everyone loves him, but he'll give the kids a stern talking-to if they misbehave.
- he's a feminist (but everyone already knows that).
- it's technically possible for him to shapeshift into a mermaid so do what you want with that information. and you best believe estelle is a very big benefactor of that.
- he's a dog person.
- he apologises to inanimate objects. like we've all done it once or twice but he does it ALL THE TIME. he doesn't apologise to annoying people though.
- he and nico play mythomagic btw.
- he says percy's blue cupcakes are weird but secretly loves them because who can not like sally jackson's cooking i dare you to find someone.
- he loves kids that's why he became an elementary school teacher.
- mrs. o'leary loves frank and percy gets jealous about it sometimes.
- he's a winter guy.
- SNOW DUCKS WITH ESTELLE WHEN IT SNOWS WE NEED FANART ASAP.
- he helps percy with archery and he's good at teaching it so with his help percy becomes a teensy bit better at it.
- he's strict as a praetor but tries to make the rules flexible. like he'd allow lavinia to go out to meet poison oak every once in a while but only with two other of her campers there to guard her (from a safe distance to respect her privacy obviously but close enough to get her call if she's in trouble).
- he likes to tell people who annoy him that he's a werewolf and if they're still troubling him, he shape-shifts in front of them into a wolf so that people leave him alone (since technically shape-shifting isn't a power he acquired from ares so the mist should not work on it).
- his music taste is ALL OVER THE PLACE. like it changes every two days.
- the only thing he does listen to religiously is mcr.
REBLOG THIS AND ADD YOUR OWN HCS WE NEED MORE FRANK CONTENT IN THIS FANDOM.
#frank zhang supremacy#he's basically a brother to estelle okay change my mind#frank zhang#rick riordan#percy jackon and the olympians#the heroes of olympus#the son of neptune#the mark of athena#the blood of olympus#the trials of apollo#the tyrant's tomb#pjo#hoo#toa#estelle blofis#hazel levesque

Akutagawa Headcanons Because I Love Him
bites his fingernails, either for stress or subconsciously
taps his fingers to the beat of a song either in the air or on a surface
listens to chase atlantic and melanie martinez 100%
praise kink definitely
gets flustered easily but tries to hide it with a ‘blank’ expression (it doesnt work)
likes to listen to pianists like johannes börnlof and franz gordon, also david ross lawn
digital artist in his free time and he draws cute couple things :((
definitely a xiao main
actually relatively bold but when someone teases him he crumbles
his tiktok fyp would either be filled with thirst traps or criminal tips
sucks ass at math and biology but is really good at english
speaks with good grammar and often gets compared to an english teacher (even though he denies it)
smiles quite often, but its more of a smirk or a light smile
very good fashion sense, although it only ranges in grayscale colours
extremely ticklish
best friends with chuuya because i said so also IMAGINE THE CUTE SLEEPOVERS AND THE DEEP TALKS IM CRYING :(
favourite insult is either idiot or dumbass
favourite curse word is fuck
exclusively wears converse
sometimes he pins one of his bangs behind his ear (it looks adorable)
his laugh is definitely higher pitched, not in a squeaking way but higher than his usual voice
always falls for deez nuts jokes or the ‘who? cares’ and he curses them out after (LMAOO IMAGINE DAZAI SAYING THAT TO HIM AND HE JUST STARTS CRYING HAHAHAAHA)
im getting sicilian/italian vibes from him so im saying he's bilingual
curses in italian>>>
literally a top tier baker and cook also him and chuuya are roommates and he cooks all the food and sometimes he gives chuuya a little bag of cookies to take to work with him :((
rarity was definitely his favourite mlp character
actually wants to be friends with atsushi but he's too socially awkward to change his behaviour now
gloated about how much of a god he was at geometry dash as a kid
either finds something unfunny or he finds something HILARIOUS, like he will burst into laughter (usually only chuuya can make the second one happen), and he’ll be laughing his ass off or he’ll give you a blank look
LMAOO HE DEFINITELY WROTE A SHIT TON OF SMUT AS A TEENAGER AND THATS THE ONLY REASON WHY HES SO EXPERIENCED
has arguments with chuuya that are stupid asf like what the best character is in mlp (for the record chuuya thinks its rainbow dash aka he's a fucking twink)
very twink energy but also toned asf on his torso
probably had a crush on L or Isaac Foster
chuuya and akutagawa definitely played danganronpa together and they both cried like pussy bitches over the executions also they both definitely stanned kokichi and fuyuhiko (maybe nagito)
THIS GOT SO LONG IMS O SORRY ILL END IT HERE
