The monsters and their ability to pick up languages is so interesting to me so here’s some random HCs about monsters + languages that are definitely not original at all:
- Neil learned French in Europe before him and Mary found their way to French-speaking Canada. He essentially had to semi-adopt the language discrepancies while he was there, and even though his fluency is in French from France, sometimes he messes up and pronounces things weirdly or differently (and Kevin frequently makes fun of him for it)
- Kevin has some rusty Japanese that he was forced to learn growing up. He can understand it pretty well, and can somewhat speak it to a lower level, but he can’t read or write it. He’s not fluent, and probably couldn’t hold a conversation with a native speaker, but he could understand his Japanese counterparts in the Nest when he needed to.
- In turn Kevin isn’t able to order in Japanese at a restaurant, but he could explain the rules of Exy to someone fairly coherently if he had to.
- This isn’t an original thought by any means but Neil and Kevin definitely speak in French when they’re by themselves just to make sure they don’t lose it.
- They sometimes make calls to each other on the court in French, and because of this, most of the team picks up very basic calls in French. None of them can actually speak it, but Andrew picks up a little more than the rest, having spent so much time with Kevin. Again, couldn’t hold a conversation, but every now and again he recognises certain words in their conversations.
- Neil is like a walking version of those White Guy Speaks Chinese And Stuns Waitress (he can understand her?!?) polyglot youTube videos. It becomes more of a hobby for him once he’s settled and the FBI are off his back, but the foxes are constantly shocked by how many languages he can speak. He is fluent in English, French, and German of course, with some conversational Spanish, but he can pretty much have a basic interaction in most of the languages of countries he’d been in. His Dutch is the worst, because he could never quite grasp the proper pronunciation of things, but one time he speaks to a waiter in Italian and Andrew can’t believe it.
- (RIP Neil Josten, you would’ve loved duolingo)
- When he goes to the Olympics he’s like a kid in a candy store. It’s like a subconscious bingo game for him to speak to someone from every country at least once.
- Aaron loves listening to music in German. He would definitely drag Nicky to a rave if they ever found themselves in Berlin.
- Katelyn asks him whenever they have their kid if he wants to raise them bilingual, but he decides not to because he only really learned German for Nicky and his brother, and doesn’t really speak it at all after he graduates.
- Neil and Nicky study Spanish together sometimes. It helps Nicky stay close to his roots now that his immediate family is pretty much out of the picture. It means way more to him than Neil even knows.
- Another unoriginal one but Andrew and Neil definitely do learn sign language in the future. I could talk about this one forever.
- When Kevin gets frustrated, he finds it hard to speak ANY language. He messes up words in English, forgets how to say things, and occasionally is the butt of the joke when he combines a French and English word accidentally.
- Kevin watches anime when nobody is around. He thinks dubbed anime is a crime.
- Andrew thinks he’s pretty good at German until he tries to have a conversation with Erik and realises wow native speakers talk a lot faster than we do. You wouldn’t know, because even if he just understands half of a sentence, he can usually piece together what is being said 90% of the time, and he would never admit out loud that he needs Erik to slow down when he’s talking so he can understand him.
- He is, however, REALLY good at accents. He has a talent for speaking gibberish but sounding as if he’s speaking fluent French. It drives Kevin up the wall when he does it, but he also hates when he can’t understand what Kevin and Neil are saying to each other.
And Bonus:
- Jeremy is really bad at accents. He is initially frustrated by Jean and his French, but once he understands that it is Jean’s first language (that the Moriyama’s took from him), he makes an effort to try and learn. He’s just really, really bad at it. Jean cringes every time he tries, because he speaks with a heavy American accent. Jean is not pretentious about his language, but he is, at the end of the day, French. So when Jeremy says bonjour in that hideous so-Cal accent, it’s in part endearing that he’s trying, but mostly like nails on a chalkboard.

gosh i love us the aftg fandom
like, there are literally some critical big stuff being mentioned in tsc that had the same timeline as the first three books but wasn't mentioned there,
and nobody, Like NOBODY, i haven't seen a single person, to be complaining why the authur didn't mention those things, or brag crap about shit not being well written or authur's lack of paying attention to details or any other bullshit
we are all just like "NEIL U FUCKER THE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR YOU ARE!"
like " WHY DIDN'T NEIL MENTION THIS STUFF"
or "LOL NEIL/JEAN DON'T EVEN CARE THAT MUCH TO MENTION SUCH A THING"
and i love that
and it is TRUE. those characters been writing their own books ya'll you can't change my mind.
Neil is like, eren jeager. making Nora create him-
they are so damn real to me

WAIT WAIT WAIT SO (thank u anon)
JAKARTA/FLOUR = mentioned on radio, start of the outbreak, happens to have the largest flour mill in the world
FLOUR/ERGOT = the fungus the epidemiologist mentioned in the opening, ergot, affects wheat
ERGOT/BISCUITS = neighbor guy is force-feeding granny those biscuits in the beginning and offers some to Joel and Sarah, who DECLINE (biscuits have flour in them, wild, I know)
BISCUITS/MF CRAIG MAZIN = said in tlou podcast that “careful viewers” will be rewarded- in reference to the biscuit scene.
Of course the fungus we see in TLOU is Corycep, but maybe it was able to mutate or just feed off of the other fungus?

a very unserious collection of crack predictions for season 3, variously inspired by jokes from fellow users and also my own terrible little hamster brain
(disclaimer: i made this at like. 3 am. and tbh my brain is all over the place, so i don’t know which ideas i came up with myself and which are posts i’ve just internalized. if i’ve used an idea of yours here, please tell me so i can properly credit you <3)

Going to other's Admiral's barbecue, after the mission, becomes almost fun. Generally Ice tries to avoid them because he knows enough secrets this people carry around that's difficult to look at them straight in the eyes and forget. And every single Admiral's wife has someone to introduce to him because he can't be still alone after all this years! More than once Ice had thought to came out just to shut them up.
But after, after it becomes a playground. All the invitations close with a bring your spouse and your kids! and, for the first time in forever, Ice doesn't only have one of this things but two. He has twelve kids, not one, twelve. It's hilarious and hysterical. It's perfect. It makes Maverick wanting to arrive before everyone but later than most because he wants all the audience for the big reveal. Admiral Cain's wife faints when she saw how many they are and Cain himself almost throw a punch in Maverick's face when he discovers who is husband his. They are both having the time of their life.

Neil lewis or Kitten Braden with reader who dances????
patricia 'kitten' braden
» that's how you two met! you both went to the same club and ended up dancing together. she was enamored with your passion! the night ended at your apartment ;) » always dances with you in the house, especially during housework! » loves it when you lead her in a classic sort of dance, makes her feel all warm inside » makes sure you both go to any event near you that involves dancing, even if it's some charity gala for something you couldn't care less about » forces you to buy a whole new wardrobe depending on what dancing style you decide to partake in, even if its multiple
neil lewis
» you're introduced to him through jonathan, someone you got to know at his bar after creeps kept trying to grind on you » he fell HARD as soon as he saw you dancing » never was the sort of person to go out, but if you were there? he was. » once you two start dating, he practically forces you to do the pulp fiction dance with him. as cringy as it sounds, you two had so much fun! » loves to lead you in dances, even if he has no clue what to do. it makes him feel Manly

I JUST HAD AN IDEA!! SLOW DANCING WITH NEIL!!
OMG YEAH LIKE IMAGINE
neil would just suddenly put a record on while you two were having a study date, since he decided that you needed a break after all that reading and writing!! and what better way to do that than to dance with him?? like you'd accidentally step on his foot so many times because u don't really know how to slow dance but he'd just laugh and smile at you with the warmest most loving smile in the world and be like "it's alright, i've got you." then you eventually get the hang of it and you both just forget about the whole studying thing and dance the entire afternoon to smoke gets in your eyes or earth angel and while he gently guides your movements he'd sing along to the lyrics with this look in his eyes that say 'you're the one i see myself doing this with when i get old' ARGDHEHD NEIL'S SO HRHDHHR

Heard you need some more wip wednesday, may I get some uhjhhh vampdrew?
WIP Wednesday (2/14) | Vampire Andrew AU (Part 83)
“What’s wrong with Andrew?” Aaron says with a huff of a laugh. “Just about everything, I think. He’s batshit crazy, you know. Even hears voices.”
“He what?” Neil asks, in shock. Okay, maybe this guy is a more serious problem than he realized.
“Eh, don’t let that worry you. He doesn’t answer them, usually. He’s just a little fucked in the head.” Aaron says, snorting at what must be a look of agreement on Neil’s face. “It’s not like he eats people. He just has a hard time with strangers.”
“I noticed that.” Neil says, a phantom of a pain thudding against his ribs. 
“But he said you two got on like a house on fire.”
“I wouldn’t say that exactly.” Neil says, barely holding in a scoff. Aaron looks a bit confused. 
“Huh. I remember hearing that he ‘took your breath away’. Wasn’t sure what else it could mean.” Aaron recalls with a shrug. Then he points through the windshield before Neil has a chance to reply. “We’re getting close to Wymack’s apartment building. The others will be waiting for us there. Uh, my brother and our cousin. And Kevin, of course.”

I followed you for your fluent freshman fic (wonderful btw, I got a friend to read aftg just so they could understand ff because they also loved it so much) and I've been binging math nerd. 10/10. Love it so much, you are an amazing author. Thank you for doing what you do!
Anon!!!!!!! Thank you this is such a sweet compliment!! I'm looking forward to getting all of Fluent Freshman down as a final draft in the upcoming months and have been having a riot with Math Nerd this whole time so I'm always glad people have fun with what I'm writing <3
Since it's Wednesday here's a lil bit more of Math Nerd for you :)
WIP Wednesday 2/21/24 (OPEN) | Math Nerd AU
Cass tries to meet him outside of school but his foster parents don't let her near even if he can hear her yelling that he's obviously grieving. It irritates him that she's right in a way, Andrew hates it, but he is grieving.
It's just not for Drake.
He looks for a certain shade of blue every single day after school, hopes to find Alex's eyes staring back at him and hates how it makes him feel when he fails to find the shade he's looking for. He stares out the 2nd story window for hours every night but no one appears there.
He's alone.
