#i know the language so I'll make an excuse to write in it hsdjkfhkjsdf

ive been thinking about this for a while, i sent an ask about it a while ago but i was in a spot with bad service so im not sure if it sent or not, so sorry if something like this already went through to your ask box. But, how does vilmer and maja speak and know swedish if cq doesnt take place on earth? is there a different place that’s native language is swedish, and also is it called something different? or is sweden just laying around somewhere on theia

It's a mix of a few things, and it applies to all real languages used in the CQ universe:

1) There are no Earth-aligned countries on Theia, but there are definitely parts & communities of the world that have different languages, accents, and dialects. This is also why there are other languages spoken such as Spanish or French, why Bonnie knows languages such as Hungarian, and so on.

2) Even though I chose to express the world's writing primarily in English, it's still a language just like any other and should not be assumed the default for the entire world of Theia. Many places they travel to, were there to be any survivors, do not speak English at all.

3) My ass is not about to conjure 100 different fake languages for the world when there are plenty of interesting and very real languages to explore & implement into the world. The swedes spawned in this world and they are here to stay, and no they won't elaborate how or why.

Also yes it is still called swedish, same for any other real language used in my writing ^_^!

#the quad-village community where samantha michael debbie and vilmr all live is rather scandinavian #so there's a lot of swedish and norwegian spoken in those areas #hence why they all know at least a little bit #whether it was to connect more with vilmr and maja or just stuff they picked up from exposure #and that's just on the continent the story takes place on. there's other parts of theia where languages like swedish are even more common #ultimately even though i listed some reasons above it's mostly just like. #just because. #i know the language so I'll make an excuse to write in it hsdjkfhkjsdf #brambleramble
