Ooh, my partner and I had an interesting miscommunication earlier with someone we've just met! She hadn't come across the word "fortnight" (to mean "two weeks") before and it took a while to untangle things. She's as much a native speaker of English as we are, but from a different country to us. We're both so used to fortnight that's we'd forgotten it's possibly a bit of a British-specific dialect word. So! Poll time. :-)
If you wish, reblog and tag with where you're from and if you're a native speaker of English. :-)

me (being neither British nor American) starting Malevolent:
Okay so he's British. Are they in England? Why does everyone sound weird? Are they in America? No wait that wouldn't make any sense whatsoever? Ooooh Arkham is fictional - so are they in America? Why is there a Scottish accent are they in the UK? No they aren't he just bought a gun?? How are you taxiing everywhere ooooh it's the 1930s that explains the lack of cellphones WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE DICE ROLLING SOUNDS does Arthur actually talk out loud when he speaks to John that doesn't seem right he hears him in his head right? no wait he does talk out loud because he's stammering man why don't you get yourself some sunglasses and a stick to appear blind does having control over your hand/foot mean you can actually move it or not because you have to use your muscles in the shoulder to move the entire arm-

Last Line Challenge
Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like).
Tagged by @frostbitebakery @hawthornsword and @elismor thank you!! Since it's been so long I'm no-pressure tagging you all back <3
As usual I'm posting more than one line because it's fun :D this is an excerpt from my New England Fisherman!Cody x Merman!Obi-Wan WIP that I'm working on for @codywanfirstkissbingo
CW for drowning/near-death experience (he's fine though I promise)
Cody always knew this could be his end, but he really didn’t think it would be today— no one ever does, he supposes.
He gives one last, fitful effort to swim back up towards the seeping light of the waterline, but he already knows it’s useless. His limbs are too heavy and weak, his lungs too full of salty, bitter water.
The panic, the shock, has somehow abated him as he waits for his end. It’s likely why he doesn’t react when a face— a man— suddenly appears in front of him.
A final delusion, perhaps, from his oxygen-deprived brain. Even through his increasingly blurry vision, Cody knows he doesn’t recognize this face, but does know he’s beautiful— glowing blue eyes that border on inhuman, auburn hair that floats around his face in a halo. He’d rather a manifestation of one of his brothers, perhaps, but it’s a nice final vision for his addled mind to conjure, as far as these things go.
“Forgive me,” the man says, and Cody is only able to vaguely wonder how a voice can sound so clear this deep underwater, when the man is— kissing him.
Cody’s eyes widen, gasping into the other man’s mouth, unable to process how he’s gasping at all, breathing sweet relief between this beautiful man’s lips—
Such soft lips is his last, absurd thought before darkness finally takes him.
No pressure tagging: @merlyn-bane @insertmeaningfulusername @lttrsfrmlnrrgby @happybean17 @loverboy-havocboy @violentcheese @dontbelasagnax @ferretrade @petrifiedforests @trudemaethien and anyone else who wants to!
