soap was totally on duolingo while in Las Almaa. he was 100% doing his modules during all the car rides, hunched over in the corner because he was embarrassed

#ghost probably smacked him after a while #his accent in spanish is so bad 😭#definitely scared the bird will come after him #IMAGINE THE SIDE EYE WHEN HE DID THE SPEAKING ONES #because literally how else would he know words like ‘pocket’#it’s too specific to just pick up #estelle talks #soap x reader #mw soap #soap mctavish #johnny soap mactavish #mw2 x reader #cod mw2

headcanon that percy is smart in a sense that he picks up language really easily, like he just learns them through exposure and stupidly fast, but since he’s dyslexic and has a hard time writing/reading and that’s all schools care about, he never learned the value of his skill

#he already canonically knows english greek and latin #but here he would probably also know french because of the aphrodite kids #i’d bet he also learned italian when he learned that nico was italian #and also spanish because second language classes #and some more random languages he picked up from his neighbours #asl too because he felt bad he couldn’t communicate with someone because he couldn’t accommodate their disability #he’s nice like that #and at some point he just start speaking a random language and everyone is flabbergasted #percy jackson hc #percy jackson is smart #polyglot percy jackson #pjo headcanon #pjo hcs #pjo percy

New rule for the eggs! They only have to be taken care of for 3 days per week, every streamer sighs in relief lmao.

#qsmp #spud originals #figured it only made sense to include all 3 languages version of the tweet #i feel so bad for all of the qsmp staff. like imagine thinking this would be like. a week long event. and now you're probably going to be #used in some psych study of how humans easily get attached #do u think trumps admin feels like they dodged a bullet?#also i feel bad for the few ccs who feel like they cant be on the server cuz of this #rubius apparently got hate for how he was being antagonistic to the eggs (i assume with how he was responsible for chayannes first #death due to it being him telling slime he'd give juana a gun if he killed another egg)#and spreen apparently not wanting to log on because he's not a fan of having to play dad #(saying apparently because i dont speak spanish so obviously this is 2nd hand)

terfs go climb into a hole and start rotting. animals cannot inherently tell your "biological sex" you are all so fucking stupid. All this post is saying is that animals are not infallible judges of character and some of them make really stupid vibe checks and that people should try not to take it personally. Unless youre a terf in which case they know and they hate you and you should take it personally

re that one post tbh i do want to stress i dont think animals are like magically psychic at knowing your True Gender tbh i think ppl definitely get way too weird about Animal's judgement of ppl.

Sometimes a dog will vibe check a man and the dog will be right and you should listen. but sometimes the dog will vibe check someone for no good reason. sometimes dogs have wack judgement. sometimes dogs have biases influenced by their owners or previous owners. like. there are Racist Dogs. its not the dogs fault, but that doesnt make the bias theyve developed less real, or less potentially hurtful. i dont think we need to like, Cancel Dogs Bc Sometimes Ppl Can Train Them To Be Racist, but we do need to stop perpetuating the idea that a dog's judgement of someone is infallible. theyre not responsible for it and its not their fault its developed, theyre just dogs, they didnt choose it, but that doesnt mean theyre RIGHT lmao. i think its important to stress this for many reasons but in regard to that last post specifically, if youve ever been vibe checked as a gender you arent by a judgy dog its literally not your fault. might not even be the owners fault. not the dogs fault cos like. its a fucking dog. you do kinda have to be the bigger person in that scenario cos the other person is. A Dog.

#toy txt post #this was meant to be a quick post it got a bit longer and more in depth than i planned oops #i just hate when ppl act like All Dogs have Inherently Correct Judgement Of People #like from every angle. its funny to joke about but i know theres ppl out there who might be feeling like #very fragile in their gender or smth and seeing a post like that if they meet a dog that normally hates men but not women but it doesnt #recognize your inherent true gender im sure seeing shit like that post can be a horr #got interrupted by a phone call while typing it and the post is glitching so i cant see where that tag is cut off so uh #dogs are like ppl in that they can develop biases and have bad judgement and they dont always get it right #they are not like ppl in that it is not possible to ask a dog to examine its biases. you cannot make a dog take a class on #critical race theory. you have to work to socialize and desensitize them against those biases or at least make sure those biases theyve #developed dont negatively impact ppl. in this sense i guess im morally obligated to try to learn more spanish to see if it helps my dog #chill. shes nervous around all new ppl but parents have anecdotally noted she extra dislikes men speaking in spanish. she was a stray so we #dont really know her history. she also does Not like fire pokers outside. weirdly even tho its basically the same tool she is unfazed by #the indoor poker for the woodstove? but ig she wouldve had less exposure to indoor woodstoves as a stray in Louisiana?#but i can see like ppl having a little backyard barbecue and threatening the big mastiff looking stray dog with a fire poker and i think #that region of the country prolly has a higher number of spanish speaking ppl than our current residence so the odds of her running into a #spanish speaking guy who isnt very nice are prolly higher just due to a denser population as a whole. and we think shes part mastiff which #i think is a breed already prone to disliking strangers that probably cooked up into a little cocktail in her brain #luckily shes bad enough with All Strangers that i think honestly it would be hard to even notice her bias? but. ig i need to see if i can #desensitize her? idk. sighs but im scared to open duolingo now 😭. but i could maybe do it. when other ppl wear hats she fucking hates it #i wear a fucking face covering mask that looks like a giant eyeball she looks at me a little quizzically but is fine. jester hat? fine #i am like that video of the person desensitizing that horse except thats just like. living w me. minus the cat thing. id never do that to #the cats or dog. everyone would hate that. squirrel already cant tolerate being held while a dog is out cos he THINKS im going to do that.#it would traumatize the dog cos he'd injure me escaping and then prolly her trying to scare her off to get past her and shes just minding #her business. solo i cant hold that long but is less likely to injure anyone. shadow. first of all all 3 are way too heavy to be holding #like that #im getting lost in the tags again sorry im chewing caffeinated gum. i should go try to buy some catnip #ive made my Phone Calls. im gonna try to go get dressed and buy various catnip products. maybe lure him with a toy this time. need my #parents to help me but not be so visibly Ready to help me next time cos i do not want to chase his ass again...

i'm trying to listen to/watch more media in Spanish so i would love any Spanish music recs. especially if it's Voyager flavored.

Ahaha, you've come to the right a place!

Alright, they are only Voyager flavored in my mind, but I can explain all of them if need be. My music tastes also sometimes leans pretty Chilean, which is a notoriously difficult Spanish dialect to understand. Also, sometimes it's just a line or two that I'll end up thinking about or it only corresponds to a certain scene.

Believe it or not, a non-exhaustive list:

Aleks Syntek - Historias de danzón y de arrabal

Arquero - Star trek (lol)

Bersuit Vergarabat - Mi caramelo

Calle 13 - La vuelta al mundo, Me vieron cruzar, La vida (respira el momento)

Carlos Vives - Cuando nos volvamos a encontrar

Elvira López - Loica valiente, Piel de pájaro, Distancia pactada,, Chueco, Norte

Fannu Lu - Fanfarrón

Fito Paez - A rodar mi vida

Fonseca - Te mando flores, Simples corazones

Gepe - Buena memoria, Un amor violento, Alfabeto

Jorge Drexler - Pongamos que hablo de Martínez

Julieta Venegas - Me voy, El presente

La Guacha - Amor platónico, Desaparecer, Corazón mezquino, Ay amor

Los Enanitos Verdes - Te ví en un tren

Los Rodríguez - Dulce condena

Los Totora - No hay mas nada

Los Vásquez - Miénteme una vez

María Isabel - Antes Muerta Que Sencilla (This is a meme song)

Mexican Institute of Sound ft. Lila Downs - Cariñito

Mon Laferte - Flaco, Vendaval, Mi buen amor, Si tú me quisieras, Pa' dónde se fue, Palomita, Por qué me fui a enamorar de ti, Cumbia para olvidar, Love, Se me va a quemar el corazón

Morat - Cuando nadie ve

Natalia LaFourcade - Nunca es suficiente

Paté de Fuá - No me platiques más, El extranjero

Pillanes - Loro (This is where my "el cerro es tan alto y yo soy tan pequeño tag comes from)

Riccardo Cocciante - Cuerpo sin alma

Rosalía - Bagdad

Schuster - Me enamoré

Silvio Rodríguez - Ojalá

Villa Cariño - Serenata cruel

Violeta Parra - Que pena siente el alma, La Jardinera (though I prefer a cover version by Juanafé)

Ok this got outta hand even after I made some cuts, my bad. I can also explain/translate/transcribe any of them (since some don't have lyrics online) and my Trek connections though

#Like 50 songs in i realized i should have made a playlist my bad #i can make it into a shorter list too #this doesn't even represent the whole scope of spanish language music i listen to honestly and i'm a lil insecure about my music tastes #clearly have some artists who resonate more with the themes #and this is all voyager not sure how well i could compile a list for another show/character #i could probably write mini essays about the connections i have a lot of thoughts about everything all the time #i also realize this says A LOT about me #soooo many situationship songs lolol #melts into oblivion

migraine pill induced RE2 AU Serrennedy with twins drabble

(you can tell I wasn't fully in my right mind when I wrote it because there's no angst)

note: one twin was named Severa when I first posted this, but after discovering a more appropriate namesake I decided to change her name to Carmen :3

Leon's at work. Sherry's at school. Neither of the babies were crying. Rita was still awake and a bit cranky, but Luis was in the rocking chair holding her, and she'd fall asleep soon. Carmen was already asleep, in her little bassinet that Luis gently rocked with his foot. It's the quiet moments like this one, as few and far between as they are, that make Luis ask himself "How is this my life? What the fuck happened?"

It's not that he dislikes it– He loves it. He wouldn't trade it for anything. He's just baffled at how it happened, how much he changed, and so quickly.

Two years ago, he was ambitious and eager to climb the career ladder. Even after he was beginning to feel lukewarm about Umbrella, he still had his sights set on doing something big, even if it was for a different company. As far as his love life went, he had been allergic to commitment, sticking to hookups. He couldn't say he was opposed to having kids, but only because he had literally never even began to think about if he wanted them.

Now he's living with his boyfriend. He has three daughters. Currently, not really any career to speak of. He's a stay at home dad, and completely satisfied with that.

He actually had gotten a job at a lab again for a while. But then they decided to add a baby to their family. Luis had planned to put the baby in daycare so he could keep working, but then they found out they were having twins, and that finding a decent daycare with two open slots was far more difficult than they ever would have expected. (And it certainly didn't help that Luis and Leon both had overprotective streaks, and if a perfect daycare option existed they probably would have found some stupid excuse not to send the twins.) Leon was far more passionate about his own job than Luis was, so as soon as the doctor said Leon was recovered from the c-section enough for him to go back, he did.

And then Luis was more than happy to quit his job, and take care of the twins. He still had his passion for biology, but ever since Raccoon City, labs tend to make him just a bit uneasy.

Being a stay at home dad to Sherry had been easy, but two really little babies were a very different story. It was truly a full-time job, but taking care of them gave him so much more fulfillment than being in a lab ever could nowadays. (And if someone told him two years ago that he would think that some day, he would have just laughed and thought it was completely insane.)

He had thought about other career options, mostly teaching. That would let him indulge his passion and make use of his degree, while getting to be a good influence for kids, without the uneasiness lab research gave him now. But that was a long ways away, it wouldn't be until the twins were older.

And just like that, the quiet moment is over. Rita was only getting fussier, not any sleepier or more relaxed. Luis starts to sing to her too, hoping that adding that on top of the rocking will be enough to get her to settle down and sleep. No dice. Luis sighs and gets up to leave the nursery, afraid that Rita will start crying loudly enough to wake up her sister.

Diaper is clean. She's not hungry.

“You just want Daddy, don't you? I know you like him more than me,” He glances at the clock on the oven as he speaks. “He'll be home soon. You know, I don't mind that you like him more. That mean you're going to try to be like him, keep his eyes? I hope you do. He's stupid sometimes, but he has pretty eyes.”

Both babies had been born with blue eyes like Leon's, but Carmen's were already starting to darken, looking more and more like Luis's everyday. Rita's were still blue now, but there was plenty of time left for them to change.

And there's Leon, finally. Luis kind of feels like a 1950's housewife, a baby in his arms, running to the door to greet his "husband" with a kiss.

“Perfect timing. I can't get her to sleep.”

“Well, of course you can't,” Leon says, taking Rita from Luis. “She doesn't like you because she knows you wanted to name her after a drink.”

“Hey, we've been through this! Margarita is a fine name! Not my fault Americans can only think of alcohol when they hear it.”

“Can't argue with evidence though,” Leon says in a hushed voice, because Rita's eyes are already getting sleepy and starting to close. “She's falling asleep for me just because I took a stand and wouldn't let you name her Margarita.”

Luis gives his best over dramatic eye roll. This was just one of their many joke arguments they liked to repeat. When Luis had brought up the name, Leon had vetoed it, but gently, saying he didn't dislike the name, but that other people would make fun of it. Leon had even been the one to suggest just using a shortened version, rather than ruling out the name completely. But they both had fun bickering and teasing each other, so Leon pretended to despise the name.

And Luis will get his revenge when Carmen inevitably spits up on Leon as soon as he picks her up. She definitely likes Luis more.

#if anything doesn't make sense remind urself that i wrote this while phasing in and out of reality from a migraine pill #i didn't know anything abt them but from their wikipedia pages they sound like neat ppl luis would name his kids after #also im bad at names i just plucked a couple famous scientists from spain from wikipedia bc luis probably would give his kids nerdy names #i went w Severo Ochoa and Margarita Salas #i changed severa's name after discovering María del Carmen Maroto. a spanish scientist known for her work in microbiology and parasitology #luis serra #serennedy #serrennedy #𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒.

fellow BN employee, i also judge other stores when i go LOL i think we all have the sense of “damn bitch u live like this??” bc i personally love being a hater <3

LMAO i love that it's not just me. i mean, we definitely all do it now that i think about it. sometimes when the keyholders have to help at other stores they always let us know how fucked the other stores are and i live for the drama. i love knowing they're doing worse than us. i'm sure the same would apply to anyone coming to this store. we'd get humbled by our awful libros, art/photography, and religion sections 😭

#psy's replies #asks #anonymous #our libros section is legit embarrassing i feel so bad for spanish speakers just trying to buy books #i'd love to take a crack at fixing it but the truth is the problem runs deeper than it being disorganized #we need like. three more bays to be honest with you. then maybe it'd be alright.#they waste so much time on study aids and reference-- books NOBODY BUYS-- and gave libros... 4 bays? i think?#meanwhile study aids and reference have probably. 7 bays if i'm counting correctly #you could get rid of two of those and give them to libros it'd be a little better. hell if that whole wall could be libros #instead of 3 libros and 3 ref bays it'd be better #we have so much libros overstock bro you don't even know. a full h-cart (though it also shares a couple shelves with manga)#and a v cart of libros. plus the libros on the actual overstock shelves #we have a decent spanish-speaking base around here and yet no room for their books. it sucks #there is not 1 face out in libros bcs it's so packed!!!!!!#ok iu'm done ranting we just all hate that section KRKF and it sucks bcs we can't rly help people who need help there #bcs we don't fucking understand the section either at this point-#buuuut whatever

Duolingo will try and convince you that practicing for a few days when you feel like you can’t take a new lesson yet is a failure, that you aren’t doing as well as you could and “oh no! The ranking”

The owl lies. I have taken three near perfect practice lessons the last three days because I want to make sure I have the stuff I’ve learned seared into my brain better. If i don’t take a week or two for practicing old lessons I’m going to forget how to spell pharmacy in Norwegian and then I’ll fail a future one. You can’t expect me to just learn new words constantly without brushing up on old ones and NOT forget how to spell something or the word for something else, you dumb bitch. This is about me learning how to listen and read, not about how long I can stay in the sapphire league. The notifications about it are super annoying but I can’t shut them off or I’ll forget when I’ve spent the day doing something different than usual and my schedule is thrown off

#emma posts #some nights I think it would be more convenient to just read some of my translation dictionary but that fucking owl doesn’t know I do that #and it will break my streak #I have been keeping up for over 200 days #since I started using the app actually #if that fucking owl says I stopped practicing because I spent a night with my actual dictionary I will execute it like French nobility #I’m weirdly heated about my streak #I guess I could take a Swedish lesson if I really wanted to be lazy but then I mix up spelling!#at least Spanish is so different that i don’t mix up the spelling but I’m so rusty at it and haven’t been focusing on that one #sometimes I wish I was taking in person classes so I could ask questions but then people would see me and I get nervous doing this with #people watching and do worse than when I’m alone #I’m also a little pissed that the app focuses on travel so much because I’m learning the language for something else first but it’s #better than nothing and my alternative is just read dictionaries and look for YouTube videos #why am I so bad at making sentences in other languages? I can listen to people speak with words I’ve learned and get that fast. but making #the sentences MYSELF is so much harder!#and I don’t have anyone to talk to with it anyway #the only guy I can think of is probably dead and I’m not even sure how to contact him anymore

introduction from las mas bellas poesías de puerto rico

trans:

The cultural literary movement developed in Puerto Rico, much later than in most Hispanic American colonies or republics. The lack of a university, isolation, illiteracy, literary censorship and the lack of freedom of thought that the regime allowed; were the main causes of the literary delay in Puerto Rico.

end trans

#just started reading this book and IMMEDIATELY hit me with an oh yeah moment #one of the biggest things we are made fun of for which ties with literacy is the way we pronounce our Rs #our dialect of spanis has some structural similarities with aave #artists reference this in their music but one youll probably recognize is P fuckin R by bad bunny #literally got made fun of for how i speak spanish this past week at work LOL #it pissed me off so fucking bad #like yes we can pronounce our Rs its called a fucking dialect hunny #puerto rico #puerto rican history
