my favourite thing is when americans say they love “british” accents, you just know they mean posh RP rich area of london accents and not glaswegian, sheffield, pembrokeshire accents, despite posh londoners having arguably the least attractive british accents

Imagine you’re the one person to finally ask why Loki, Norse God, speaks funny (English accent). He tells you the truth. That he started talking like it as a joke but after a few centuries, he forgot how to speak normally. Loki has just been stuck speaking like a British person ever since. You want to tell someone, anyone, this secret occult knowledge, but Loki has sworn you to secrecy through threats of imminent death and destruction.

My Neighbor Is a Vampire- Part 1

Want to read more, visit my Masterlist!

Saturday, May 27- First day at my new place! The shower works, I have an oven AND all the windows are not broken and can open and close. So far, I'm loving this place. Plus, I only have one neighbor. ONE! No sign of them yet, but hopefully they won't be too noisy. -L.R

"It's been a week, and you haven't met them yet? My best friend Jenn asked, leaning against the kitchen counter.

"Nope. No noise during the day but at night the occasional noise is heard.

"Weird." She rolled an apple back and forth. "Why only at night?"

I grabbed the apple mid roll and took a bite. "I don't know. Maybe they have a nighttime job? I'm just glad they're quiet, unlike my last neighbors. Come on, let's go. I have work in a few."

"Another glorious day at the library."

"Shush, you should be glad I got you a job there."

"Yeah, pushing books."

"It's better than nothing." I shrugged, locking the door behind us.

"I think the only reason you hired me is because I can give you a ride." She scoffed.

--

The only bad thing about the apartment was the steps. They had an elevator but since I've moved in four months ago, it's out of order sign has yet to be moved. Reaching the last few steps, my eyes graced the back of a man's head as he closed the door besides mine.

His broad shoulders stretched across his tight grey dress shirt; the sleeves rolled up to his elbows exposing his muscular, veiny forearms. His black pants showed off his long legs and rounded his butt nicely, my face heating up as I caught myself staring.

I didn't realize I had stopped at the last step until my eyes landed back up to his face which was now looking at me a few feet away. His face was as pretty as his body. His head full with black hair that had a slight curl to it at the ends which lightly hung in his face. His eyes a striking grey blue which were only enhanced by his sharp cheekbones and chiseled jaw.

"Are you okay?" His voice deep, with a slight English accent.

This man was a god.

And here I was staring at him, my mouth unable to form words.

"Are you okay?" He asked, taking a step closer to me.

"Uh- um... yes." Which I guess was the only words my brain could process to say. I cleared my throat, pulling my gaze away to my front door, as I motioned to the doors behind us. "Um, do you live next door?"

He looked back and gave a crooked smile when his gaze returned to my face. My heart I could feel picking up speed. "I'm guessing you're the new neighbor?"

"Yes. Yes, I am. I'm Lilly." I stretched my hand out for a handshake.

"What a beautiful name." He took my hand in his large, cool hands. "I'm Aster. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled that crooked smile at me, as he bent down and brushed his lips against my hand. "I'll see you around, Lilly."

His hand left mine, the warmth flooding back as I watched him bound down the steps, the feeling of his lips never leaving my hand the entire night.

--

I didn't see Aster in the following days. It wasn't like I was trying to search for him, because I wasn't, but my eyes would look at his door when I came to and from work or my head would perk up if I heard a noise coming from next door.

I can see that this sounds creepy, but I couldn't help it. My brain would just tune in without me wanting it to. The god of a man living next door occupied my thoughts day and night. I found myself leaning towards the romance section more at work, my nights occupied more romantic k-dramas and my dreams had his perfect face in it.

I wasn't a popular girl and have only had one boyfriend which was back in high school. It was probably a result of my winning personality. Nose in a book, only having one friend since elementary school, straight a's, a constant perfect attendance and always home by 8pm every night. A perfect loner. And my job being a librarian always wasn't an award-winning job that would make a guy want to get into your pants either.

Being a bit bigger than curvy I suppose didn't help either. One of the reasons I lost my one boyfriend. But hey, his loss.

I grabbed a bottle of wine and headed to my window seat. The fake fireplace entertainment stand was flicking away as one of the only sources of light besides the few candles I had placed around my cozy setup. Wrapping myself up in my oversized sweater and a large fluffy blanket, I poured myself the start of my second bottle for the night.

Sipping the oaky drink, I grabbed my book and started to read before something caught my eye from the window. I peered out the window to see my next-door neighbor jumping out of his window.

From the sixth floor.

Landed on his feet and walked away like nothing happened.

What the fuck?

So jarring when I’m speaking in an American accent and then suddenly I say something like UTHUWISE (otherwise). English accent jumpscare. My brain decides it’s 1988, pre-American accent.

FINALLY, I have found an article talking about this! I dont get into Shakespeare much, but a favorite memory from high school was when a speaker came to our AP English class and talked about how accents have changed since Shakespeare’s time, and that some parts of it mightve even sounded more like some American accents than modern British accents. This talks about it in more detail and has a few recordings, and it’s interesting that they actually have what sounds to me like a Scottish twang. Anyway, interesting read if you like Shakespeare, history, or accents!

EA never cared for historical accuracy. Emily with a y is born to Irish parents and lived in a poor part of London. She most certainly would now have spoken in anything resembling Received Pronunciation. I think EA just wanted to speak in a poor “British” accent without doing any research for what her own character would really sound like.

American English feels so… sanitised. It feels almost dead tbh. British English though… people might think that it’s all so posh and boring but once you dive into all the varieties of its accents… my dude. London accent, Scottish accent, Welsh accent, Irish accent, Southern Irish accent, Glasgow accent, all sorts of specific shit. They are lively, they have a soul. Glorious.

Just found out that British people pronounce the word “ego” as “egg-o”. No wonder why they have no confidence. Deep down they think they are waffles!
