#I always do a British accent

[podcastwizard]

heroines in gothic romances are praised for languishing in bed all day but when i do it i'm "lazy" and a "leech on society." make up your mind

#i'm watching a dracula #specifically dead and loving it #definitely not mel brooks' best but i hadn't seen it before #bram stokers dracula will always have my heart #keanu reeves cant do a british accent to save his life but boy is he pretty

no bc deadass the rescue bots are straight up mean as hell. like, they arent evil or immoral they’re just rude. to the point where they’re meaner than the decepticons ok like megatron kept avoiding actually gettind rid of starscream despite the constant murder attempts but heatwave was willing to get rid of two of the other bots (blades after he abandoned a rescue bc of an avalanche and blurr bc blurr). heatwave is more ruthless than megatron which is so damn funny. blades keeps insulting people for no good reason (sometimes it makes sense but like quickshadow’s accent and how she talks made him so upset). chase is harder to see but he’s willing to do anything to follow the rules and he tends to repeatedly bring up other people’s issues (i dont think i have to explain but like example is little white lies. that whole episode). boulder is very sweet most of the time but the instant heatwave gets in on it he does too. multiple times in the show this has happened (off the top of my head when blades got the scoop claw hw and boulder were laughing at him and when hw made fun of blades boulder laughed, also heatwave was saying blurr was super annoying and boulder agreed).

to be clear this is a good thing. i wanna see more complex characters who are still fundamentally good people!! you can be callous, have low empathy, be egotistical, get angry, make fun of ur friends and still make good choices and still help people. you at your worst and you at your best are still both you, but your worst being bad doesn’t mean your best isn’t good. especially because morality wise the rescue bots are the best people. i mean, they aren’t war criminals (or regular criminals), they don’t physically harm others, they don’t put others at risk (at least not intentionally), and they literally had to pretend to be actual machines while risking their lives every day. these people who treated them as essentially slaves were who they had to protect. and they did it, over and over again, without hesitation. and i think they deserve to be a bit rude for that, and because their meanness comes from caring. if they didn’t care they wouldn’t bother to speak up and be heard, even if it’s in a disrespectful way. but they do.

anyways idk rescue bots brainrot and the concept of a fundamentally good society have been eating away at me.

#they love everybody so much that they snap so often #heatwave cares about his team. when he says someone needs to go its a big deal #because he cares about that member but he also cares about the rest of his team #one wrong move and they’re dead. it’s life or death every day #he doesnt want to invite the day where death will be the winner #blades getting so pissed and confused by quickshadow’s accent and speech was so damn funny tho #i too am confused and pissed by the british #boulder being the nicest kindest most gentle bot immediately going away when heatwave decides to be petty is always delightful #“hmm this person is doing something funny/wrong/objectively dumb but everyone makes mista— oh? heatwave is making fun of them? count me in! #homosexual behaviour #heatwave makes people worse <3 #chase bringing up the oldest shit to make a dig at someone is so silly #you make one mistake and years later he’s still bringing it up #looking at my tags as i write them and hw’s are so serious and everyone else’s are like “lmao silly little guy says silly little things” #rescue bots #tfrb #tfrb heatwave #tfrb boulder #tfrb blades #tfrb chase #transformers rescue bots #transformers

can people really not tell the difference between aus and kiwi accents actually hold on

#🐾 #LMFAO to be honest sometimes i need a second if their accent isn't that strong #not even that out there of a take but i think the general accent between us both is closer than like aus to those dicks that sound british #i cannot handle upper class pommy bullshit i can't .... talk normal you creeps #as in upper class australian #for me when i hear it i lock in and go I Know You and then after a second i have to determine which country it is #and sowmtimes south africans get thrown in LMFAO and also same when they're putting ON an accent #like i can always tell when an australian is doing an american accent in a movie it just sounds. australian #or they have an australian laugh or sigh or something i don't know. or the way they say ''um'' #irl i love meeting kiwis though and can always tell maybe it's just a tv people on my phone thing .. #anyway .... I love you guys 🥝 i love you guys #i keep getting tourism ads trying to get me to move there don't threaten me with a good time ..

I know this might be a weird question, and I have no idea if anyone else pictures written dialogue in their head like I do, but do anakin, obi-wan, cody, etc have the same accents in ur AU fics as they do in Star Wars canon??

Like all this time I’ve been imagining Obi-wan being British, anakin being American (hayden is Canadian but I have no clue how US accents work lol) and the Fett brothers being Kiwi, but then I get confused bcs HOW did they get those accents (IS CORUSCANT THE STAR WARS EQUIVALENT TO LONDON!?!?!? BCS ALOT OF JEDI HAVE ENGLISH ACCENTS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM AND UGH MY BRAIN HURTS AND 😩🫣😵🤕😭)

anyway I’ve forgotten my original point and I think I need to lie down 😟

lol this is a fair question actually

so whenever I’m doing a fic that’s not gffa but modern but I’m trying not to make it American heavy or ANTK (America need to know), I like using the planets from Star Wars as cities and/or countries because everyone who is reading a prequels Star Wars fic probably knows what Coruscant or Naboo is supposed to look like vaguely and I don’t have to describe what it’s supposed to look like (descriptions of places, my loathed nemesis)

AND when I do that, I always describe obi-wan’s accent as coruscanti, but in my head it’s definitely just the way he sounds in the movies which is British

and like in that one story where Obi-Wan is king of Stewjon (space Scotland), he’s supposed to maybe have a stewjoni accent which would be space Scottish accent but then I really just only read it in my mind as his normal British accent, even if they were fuckin. Wearing space kilts. It was too ingrained in me.

BUT THIS IS ALL TO SAY: their accents are what they are in the shows/movies, regardless of where they’re supposed to be from…..and if it makes sense (aka Cody and Rex and obi-wan are basically raised together in PBATMB but you bet your ass they sound different in my head)

#asks #my mom is a serious serious accent picker upper #she sounds more southern than my dad who is from the American south #and she’s lived there way shorter than him #some people just pick up accents easily #soooo I guess that’s a fail safe lol no matter what #maybe British obi-wan raised in nyc just #had an audiobook he listened to a lot and the accent seeped in lol #it’s always a think I wonder about being so very American and writing a lot of modern AUs #I do absolutely have AUs set in America where it’s pretty necessary to know some America stuff #(but I try to describe it better) #(roadtrip au + smithsonian au) #but in general i don’t wanna assume America knowledge like geographically or anything #so I almost always use coruscant for a city name #Naboo sometimes Alderaan as a mountain getaway …. #etc etc

everyone going bonkers coo coo bananas for spanish moon’s voice;; hot take but he sounds too he/him for my liking, I prefer the he/they voice run through a cheese grater all raspy and a li’l bri’ish n stuff i’m sorry 💀

#ALL I CAN PICTURE IS A RANDOM MAN WITH A BEARD WHEN I HEAR HIM IM SORRY THATS NOT MOON 💀💀💀 #not in my mind at least. I refuse to think abt spanish moon in any other way than Kellen Goff speaking Moon’s lines in spanish #or Corey Wilder #these are the genders of moon: kellen and corey #I think Moon is too much of an androgynous twink man to have a masculine voice ;; just my opinion tho #at least THAT masc #hrgrhhrhdjdjk anyways #also sorry idk what accent he has ???? i’m really dumb with accents ?? it’s like he’s got a HINT of british or something i’m not quite sure #he seems to soften his R’s and pronounce his T’s sometimes but not always ???? hmmm #plz this is /lh ur valid if you like spanish moon but . I do not 💀 #sounds like a different person entirely #k rambles #moondrop #dca #fnaf security breach

unpopular opinion…. i don’t like those touchstarved VA’s that have been circulating 😭 i think they’re too gruff and deep for leander and ais. Leander has a smooth voice to me that’s very casual.

and Ais has a very slight gruff but it’s not as intense or deep. it’s kinda crackly but medium in tone.

there’s this voice in my head that’s Mhin to a T, it’s gotta be someone i’ve heard before but i can’t remember!! grouchy for sure

kuras is soft spoken yet authoritative, a bit cheeky in tone, maybe breathy. i think he has those breathy laughs. He speaks clearly though.

vere is the only one i kinda vibe with, being a honeyed sultry voice with some snark.

#ugh ok i really do have voices for them in my head #maybe i just don’t like the way VA’s enunciate because it feels so unnatural #this is abt those people who recorded the video of the demo not the headcanons going around i haven’t watched those yet #JD from heathers is a very good example for leander to me. not exact i don’t think but the closest #Maybe think of Zuko with a deeper voice for Ais… i’m not sure. #now i wanna find shit just for myself #i hope they’re not all british though. please don’t #it’s a fantasy world so everyone’s gotta have a british accent. nooooo stop. anything else #also the 2nd tag isn’t referring to those VA’s specifically i meant it in a general sense !!! #they always gotta enunciate in a way to be heard clearly which is very understandable but sometimes it feels like too much to me #third tag is for why i made the post

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

i do this funny overcompensation when im writing where because when i use british words on purpose because i know theyre british and im writing british characters i feel like a poser so i pick (what i think are) the more american alternatives when i know i have options, making my fic sound more american than it already does by virtue of my having watched a lot of american tv

#like the opposite of britpicking it's really dumb #i do try to make it sound more english when im writin gdialogue #just thinking what kinda words the character would use #but then you run into english regionalisms and stuff and ive had enough of that for a lifetime #dont ever wanna be on wikipedia again reading an entire paragraph of synonyms for lemonade thank you very much #my dialogue isnt very good anyway so when i smudge it a little it doesnt bother me too much #but in description especcially i always go for the less british version #if i know theres a distinction #i do use british spelling though bc our school taught Oxford EnglishTM #but like it feels so weird to try and match a specific kind of region? #this is also why i dont practice my english accent #which accent do i pick? it always feels like lying somehow #as if im trying to make people believe im from a place #if i sound Just So Fucking Dutch then at least the place you think im from is correct you know fhkjghjkgh #i also like putting dutch in my prose but i dont think you can tell it's dutch #i think it just makes the sentences weirder

Do you think Bryan and Finola ever mock each other’s accents? Or not even mock but just randomly slip into other accents? Like of course they’ve had the ‘aluminum’ argument (because who hasn’t?) but something along the lines of Finola deciding to mess with Bryan by speaking in an American accent all day. Or Bryan getting irritated with Finola so he starts speaking in a posh British accent? Or they make a trip to Texas and Finola immediately lovingly pokes fun at Bryan’s sudden southern accent? Or even like they’re both drunk and start nipping back and forth in really shitty Australian accents?

#like they are secret agents #i imagine they’d be pretty good at imitating accents #i feel like bryan with a british accent would be freaky as shit tho #he does it to scare her #like she’s coming back in from the bathroom at 3am and just hears ‘ELLO’ #it’s so stupid #but i love these little things in relationships #how many inside jokes do you think they have? #what are their little habits? #what do they always rely on the other for because they know the other will always have it #debris nbc #bryan beneventi #finola jones #brinola

the best superpower you can have to impress grade-school children is literally any mediocre accent. or knowledge of a few riddles

#doing silly little french accent for my french club kiddos and stg one of them went 'whoa. how do you do that???' #jokey british accents will impress them too it's awesome #nd told a couple of the older girls the 'one always lies and one always tells the truth' problem today #fucked them up for like. a solid fifteen minutes until i explained it to one of them #(it took another full five minutes to explain it. at Least) #valentine notes

watching a bootleg copy of Into The Spiderverse and the subtitles are interesting

the subtitles for the english speaking are all in english. the on-screen text that’s written in english (text messages, signage, etc.) is subtitled into spanish.

and THEN, when someone speaks spanish, the captions are in spanish except for any letter that’s got an accent or any punctuation that is not used in written english, and those characters are... something i do not read...

i am baffled.

#into the spiderverse #spiderverse #i'd get screengrabs of the other ones but i'm tired and its late and i'm SO fuckin confused #why subtitle the english into spanish #but then subtitle the spanish into whatever mashup of characters-i-do-not-read and actual letters?? #the fuck?? #i ain't complaining i love bootleg movies instead of paying but like. damn. i'm just confused... #ih #fndm #using subs bc in theater i could understand exactly zero of what hobie said lmfao #british accents always fucked me over lmfao

YOU GUESSED IT. A BRITISH ACCENT. #and they had a little kid so we were like OMG. 3 diff british families thats so insane. and like little kids with accents are always so fun #so we leave like. are we on punkd? this is wild. and we go to another ride. No British people around. but. #as we get to like the ride area the door isnt open #so i turn to my friend like should i just open it myself? and i hear. from the family who's going in with us. #'just go ahead and open it love'. SHOCK #DISBELIEF. A FOURTH FUCKING BRITISH FAMILY. COMPLETELY SEPERATE FROM THE OTHER 3. ALL IN A ROW. #we leave in a daze. surely thats just insane. so we go to the other park and get on our first ride. no british people #we think okay. its finally over. go to another ride. still no british people. like i guess the curse is lifted lol! #and as we are walking to our next ride i am physically blocked by this family. and as i go to complain about it what do i hear? #TWO LITTLE KIDS SPEAKING IN GERMAN. TWO GERMAN CHILDREN. WHAT THE FUCK. #i start flipping out because in all my years of living in orlando i have never seen a german tourist. thats crazy. #and after all THAT? MY GOD! #we leave the ride in a daze. and we decide to go on one last ride (a harry potter one) #of course i have the thought like lol. there should be a british family here itd be appropriate #and as we're walking up i see another guy getting told he has to put his backpack in a locker. as a joke i turn to my friend and say #'i cant get on!' in the same accent as that guy from all those rides ago. as a funny reference to ourselves #and as i step closer what do i hear exit this mans mouth?
