I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.
The people in this country are being treated like the people in nazi Germany did pre & during WWII. UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!
boost this!
Fellow white people, stand up too. Don’t leave Black folks in the position of possibly getting shot for speaking up. Stand up and shield those who need it.
So I used to have a Russian friend who had a pretty thick accent and like a lot of Russians tended to eschew articles. She would say things like “Get in car.” And stuff.
Well one day this asshole who had been kind of tagging along with us asks her why she talks like that because it makes her sound dumb and I still remember her response word for word.
“Me? Dumb? Maybe in America you have to say get in THE car because you are so stupid that people might just get in random car, but in Russia we don’t need to say that. We just fucking know because we are not stupid.”
One time I was proof reading a paper for a Russian student. As I was correcting her paper with her, the many mistakes in her grammar started weighing on her. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, almost sobbing,
“In Russian I am so intelligent and clear. In English I am like [an] idiot”
Respect to anyone trying to master a foreign language. I get so sad thinking about that student.
Full offense but people who make fun of someone else’s accent or belittle their limited vocabulary when they’re speaking a language not native to them are fucking disgusting and are just begging to be punched.
They’re speaking your language because you don’t know theirs. That’s not something they should be made fun of, it’s something that should be commended because learning a language is hard fucking work.
A new royal in the Ruby Empire enters the scene. I hope you enjoy this lovely wlw story!
You work as a knight for a King in the Hinterlands. His court is famous for its luscious gardens, the kingdom renowned for its flower festivals. You’ve grown up in this kingdom all your life, your father used to be one of the best orchid growers around. You knew, that secretly, fairy’s were a huge part of why this kingdom flourished so.
Specifically, it was the Sidhe and Queen Amadi who had struck a deal with your king. Everyone often whispered about what the deal could be. Was it money? Gems? Some even whisper that the king would sleep with the queen. You highly doubted this. Queen Amadi was amazingly beautiful, she could have anyone she wanted, male or female. She didn’t need to strike a deal with some lackluster king to get some quickie.
I’ve just discovered my new favorite painter, Vittorio Reggianini – those smarter than myself probably already know of him as an Italian painter from the 1800s who made satin look even satiny-er than satin. I just cannot get over how much he loved painting women who were NOT. HAVING. A. MAN’S. SHIT.
But there was one hottie that everyone seemed to like, and I can’t blame them…
