R6S Duolingo and language learning HCs

Stupid fluff/crack hcs for some of the r6s operators, inspired by a recent heated discussion in our research group about everyone’s Duolingo habits (lol).

Warnings/notes: none (unless you’re severely traumatized by the Duolingo owl, though if that’s the case, it’s probably already too late anyways) Slight romance and/or suggestiveness in some.

Sorted alphabetically under the cut—I wrote for everyone that popped into my mind at the time.

Ace: Will totally take the initial placement test for Norwegian, just for that cheap and easy XP-boost that will catapult him to the top of the leaderboard and allow him to flex his high score in front of the others. (Everyone knows what’s going on, but let’s let him have this.) Will be extra motivated should you decide to get the app as well and absolutely swoon over you should you decide to take up Norwegian (he still won’t take it well should you outcompete him on the leaderboard, though, so keep that in mind).

Bandit: Doesn’t really care for the app per se, but is more than happy to help expand your knowledge of German swear words and street slang should you decide to take it up, whether you want it or not. If you’re serious about learning the language, he will do his best to help you in earnest and make an effort to include you in the German banter between the GSG9 member (be careful, though, as he will absolutely take the opportunity to feed you wrong and/or offensive words every now and then so he can have a laugh when you cheerfully insult any of the other German operators, thinking you were merely throwing out some German slang). Will be more encouraged than ever to give you German pet names. He would also take the opportunity to introduce you to his favorite German bands and songs (just stay wary of the meaning of some of the lyrics you will inevitably pick up).

Blitz: This is his home turf—Elias doesn’t need to be convinced to download the app, he already has it (and every other language learning app out there) ready to go on his phone. He finds the questions and problems in Duolingo too easy to really challenge him, but he’ll use it to refresh his memory on grammar and vocabulary during breaks or look into the more exotic languages they offer just for fun. Gets very excited if you are interested in languages, too, and all the more so if the language you want to learn happens to be German! He will send you all kinds of materials and resources to help you study, from news articles to memes. When he sees you practicing using the app, he will come up to you and give you a kiss whenever you get an exercise right.

Doc: Gustave always encourages the people around him to try new things and stay flexible, physically and mentally, so he welcomes it when you introduce him to the app. Other operators might complain about the persistent reminders sent by the app, but Doc actually appreciates them—without them, he would quickly forget about the app again as he’s always caught up with work late into the night. Should you decide to learn French, he will gladly practice with you whenever you have a moment of time throughout the day, remaining patient and encouraging even as you torment him with the exhilarating questions about his name and profession that come with the early stages of learning a new language.

Dokkaebi: Will get super competitive and try to get as many of the other Rainbow members as possible into Duolingo as well. They don’t all have to learn the same language, but there will be an internal competition about who earns the most points every week. Will probably act casually about it, but then log into the app again at the last minute before the leaderboard closes, while her fellow operators are either already asleep or focused on something else and absolutely obliterate them and their scores. If you tell her that you want to learn Korean, she might be a bit surprised at first, but will quickly find it endearing when it becomes apparent that you’re serious about it. She loves it when you text her in Korean whenever you learned something new and will in turn send you Korean proverbs and other tidbits you might fight interesting.

Glaz: Not a huge fan of the app (maybe because he doesn’t think the interface is visually appealing?). Would maybe use it to gain a basic understanding of the language of a country he’s sent to on a mission + any themed lessons that catch his eye. If your native language isn’t English or Russian, he would use the app to check out the basics while he’s away from you, though he would much rather get the explanations directly from you. If you inform him that you’re trying to learn Russian, his heart will melt and he will shower you with sweet words of praise and encouragement to make you feel comfortable enough to speak to him in his native language. Will also buy you a premium subscription when you aren’t looking to make learning even more fun for you.

IQ: Monika is smart and a quick learner - you know it, I know it, it’s literally implied in her codename. Quickly uninstalls the app again because she finds the exercises too easy and doesn’t want to bother wasting time on having to unlock the few lessons she’d actually be interested in. If you or another operator were the ones getting her into the app, however, she’d keep it around just so she can keep doing the weekly challenges with you—she finds it cute when you get all competitive about it and it makes her happy that you want to participate in them with her. Her first reaction to you telling her that you want to learn German would be a blunt “Why?,” as she thinks you might get more use out of other languages. Tell her that you’re doing it for her and she becomes incredibly flustered (all the more so should you decide to call her by one or more German pet name(s)), yet happy at the same time.

Jäger: Marius quickly incorporated the app into his daily routine, usually getting his daily session in during breakfast or dinner. Will regularly remind his GSG9 colleagues to use the app by sharing his milestones to their group chat (*screenshot of perfect 2-week-streak* “Und bei euch so? 😏” (”what about you guys? 😏”) Will be very giddy should you decide to learn German—he’s very eager to practice with you and will constantly point out how certain things are called in German as well as give you additional info and expressions. He’ll probably get ahead of himself and it will be nearly impossible to remember everything he’s telling you, but he doesn’t expect you to and is glad to repeat it.

Kapkan: Hates it. Thinks the interface looks stupid, the sample conversations pointless, and was just about ready to ask Sledge to borrow his hammer to smash his phone and computer because he accidentally consented to receive all the reminders and push notifications and it’s driving him insane. If you’re using the app to learn a language and feel like its helping you, however, he is willing to put up with the eye sore that is the Duolingo owl and the noise pollution coming from the app, just for you (particularly if the language you are trying to learn is Russian—his adoration for your efforts outweighs any negative feelings he may have). If your native language is something different from Russian or English, he would make an effort to learn at least the basics in it when things start to get serious. While he’s a diligent student, he becomes surprisingly shy and easily flustered when attempting to speak to you in your native language, so stay patient and give him lots of encouragement.

Montagne: As his perceived lack of proficiency in foreign languages when compared to some of the other Rainbow operators is something that’s been bothering him on and off for some time, he was very happy and receptive when you introduced him to the app. He uses it to quietly practice by himself during moments of downtime as he goes about his day. I feel like he’d be the type of person to have a 500+ day streak that makes you go “damn! :0″ when you see it on their profile for the first time. Is over the moon when you reveal to him that you’ve been trying to learn some French for him and have nothing but praise for even your most awkward attempts at speaking to him in French. Naturally, he will want to repay the favor and take up your language in return, but it will take some verbal encouragement from you before he overcomes his shyness to actually talk to you in your native language.

Mute: would never resort to cheap exploits like raking in a massive number of points by acing the placement test in his native language (as others are rumored to have done), but would quickly figure out the little tricks, bonuses, and power-ups that allow him to continuously earn the highest score possible while learning. Finds the exercises too easy and doesn’t like how you have to unlock certain topics through progression, rather than being able to freely choose what you’re interested in learning right from the beginning. If your native language isn’t English, he will look for other better resources on it on his own. Even if English isn’t your first language, he doesn’t really see any concrete need for you to improve but will respect your desire to do so by providing you with recommendations for English books and movies, as well as the offer of discussing them with him once you’re done with them.

Smoke: While the gamification aspect does hold some appeal in his eyes, he doesn’t really feel the need to follow the path given by the app—he’s convinced that if you want to learn a new language, it should ideally come naturally to you by actively engaging with source materials in it (read: chemical safety data sheets, scientific papers, and online shitposts). Should his daughter discover her love for Duolingo-based language learning, however, you bet he would download and use the app, if only to keep her happy and connect with her (he would, however, be equally happy if you were to compete with her in the challenges in his stead—in fact, he would only adore you more for doing so). If your native language isn’t English, the first thing he would ask you to teach him are swearwords, if nothing else, so he can annoy his fellow operators even more effectively. If things get serious between the two of you, however, he will be more than eager to learn other things as well from you.

Tachanka: Would use the app to learn a few bits in your language as an icebreaker and to surprise you & show you how much he cares about you. Flirty and straightforward as he is, he would then quickly graduate to asking you for some one-on-one conversation training sessions, offering to teach you basic Russian (or flirting/swearwords, depending on how you roll). Should you decide to learn Russian, he will be all over you whenever you use your newly acquired, meager language skills on him — he will be incredibly happy and proud of you. In fact, he might get a little too excited and unintentionally embarrass you a little by boasting about your “skills” to his fellow Spetsnaz members, putting you on the spot when they subsequently demand a first-hand demonstration. He’s quick to pick up on the naughtiest, most suggestive expressions in your native language and will make good use of them behind closed doors with absolutely zero shame, causing your blood to flow to your face (as well as other places) whenever he does so.

Thatcher: Was most definitely pressured into getting the app by someone else on his team and only begrudgingly agreed to use it under the condition that that person would also set everything up for him. He will quickly get annoyed by it and delete it after Duo keeps counting typos he didn’t bother to correct as mistakes, subsequently providing you with ample opportunity to expand your vocabulary of British swearing. If English isn’t your native language, he would try to learn some phrases from your first language for you. He’s very serious about it and somehow selects rather lyrical source materials for this endeavor—on occasion he sounds like an old-timey gentleman plucked straight from a romance novel, causing a blush to appear on your cheeks every time he talks to you like that.

Thermite: Another one who would probably see Duolingo as a kind of dating app with extra steps. Would repeatedly come to you under the pretense of asking you how certain features of the app work, etc., just so he has an excuse to stay close to you. If you’re in an established relationship, he will ask you for a kiss for every exercise he gets right whenever he’s actually using it to practice. Will make an effort to remember the most random sample phrases to repeat them back to his fellow operators in their native language and think he’s hilarious for doing so. If you’re the type of person that gets discouraged whenever you accidentally miss a day, causing your streak to break (the type of person he is), he will briefly log into your account and do a quick and easy exercise just to keep your streak going when he sees you haven’t logged into the app after you’ve already gone to bed. Will also really work with the random, basic phrases he’s learned in your language so far to impress you or at least make you laugh.

___________

thank you for reading! <3 these were very fun to do! If you are missing a specific operator, I didn’t spontaneously have a scenario of them pop into my mind, but you are free to request them.

Next post (in a few days) will be less shitpost-y (I hope, lol)~!

♡GSG9 developing a crush headcanons ♡

SFW! Fluff and slight angst(?) angst only in the context that you reject them. Only cut due to how long it is

Blitz

- Elias is a natural charmer. He seems to always know when to say his dumb little jokes, and when he needs to be serious in a situation. And he’s certainly easy on the eyes.

- When getting a crush on someone Elias would do what he could to get closer to them without pushing any boundaries or being too obvious about his feelings.

- But as time when on and the feelings only grew, the German solider would become much more obvious with his advances.

- Talking to you whenever he can, trying to always make you laugh or at least smile, spending all his free time with you, anything he can to be around you, you betcha he’s doing it.

- Eventually, he would probably easily glide you both naturally into a state where you’re already basically dating, simply without the label! Sneaky

- ln fact, you don’t probably even think much about it when he invites you to have dinner with him. But he sure does.

- If you don’t feel the same way, and turn him down, he would immediately respect that. He’s definitely the type to make a few light hearted jokes to cover up that it hurt and try to make sure you don’t feel bad. He’d like to still be friends.

- If you ended up accepting his feelings he’s practically swooning already. He can feel a weight he didn’t even think he had had resting on him finally fall off and be replaced with pure love and joy.

- IQ has always been someone who’s kept more to herself. She’s not a cold or defensive person like some of the other operators who keep to themselves, she just has a hard time really connecting with people.

- So she was flustered from the start when she realized how much she enjoyed being around you

- Despite that, she was sure that this was just because she never really had that many friends. This was nerve racking is all… Right?

- With a crush Monika is not one to be rushing to confess. Shes more of a loner and would be someone who closes herself off in fear of rejection.

- Sadly, if Monikas crush is not requited, you would probably never know how hard she was crushing in the first place. Monika would definitely get more confident the more she’s around you and make some moves herself, but seeing no reciprocation, she would back off. This includes backing off the friendship at least for a little.

- But if you do reciprocate, replying to her, sometimes one upping her, she’d definitely get more confident.

- When making a move, the best to do would be something such as being the good friend you are and getting her a cute necklace you saw and thought she would like.

- Just putting it on made her feel all giddy and when she went to her room and got to look at it on her in front of the mirror, she knew she felt more for you than she kept trying to convince herself.

- Things with her will smoothly fall into place, like a cute little film.

Jäger

- Our lovely German engineer here is quite the character! And many of his colleges and folks in his life are used to his behavior, but for new people he can be confusing.

- Marius is nice with people, but struggles with social cues. He’s quite the talker and tends to confuse people with his rambles about random news or scientific research. He always tries to keep it in mind when meeting new people though.

- Marius would pick up on his feelings a little later than the rest of his GSG9 teammates, in fact, they’d probably realize he’s got the hots for you before he does.

- Despite Monika being someone who’s nervous to confess her own feelings, she loves to push for her friends to take charge. But with Marius, she knows not too involve herself too much. She’ll simply give him light teases such as randomly telling Marius where you are.

- Marius’s struggle with a crush isn’t really not accepting his feelings, it’s trying to understand his crush.

- He’d be one to constantly invite you to things and constantly want to talk to you about the stuff he’s interested in and learn things you’re interested in as well.

- Your phone will also be blowing up quite a lot with his midnight rambles. He just has a lot he wants to share with you!! He can’t help himself.

- He gets shy when reciprocate these affections back to him and might stammer around a bit. He does like it though

- Eventually, he’ll feel comfortable enough to bluntly ask you out on a date. Most likely he’d invite you to a date to a museum or around a pretty town/city to see all the landmarks and get something nice to eat.

- Marius is a more straight forward person than his teammates, so if he wants you he’ll do whatever he can to let you know!

- If you end up rejecting him though, he’ll be heartbroken. He’s not the type to get feelings for people so this feeling was rare for him.

- Of course, he’ll accept the rejection but your friendship will probably be ruined. He doesn’t want to ruin it but he has a hard time with social interactions as it is. If he’s hurt, he won’t really know how to act around you anymore.

-But who would reject him <3

Bandit

- Ah… Dominic Brunsmeier. Dominic getting a crush is something he’s definitely not prepared for… but it is something he will ignore!

- Sadly, Dom is very emotionally closed off. He’s done a lot of things in his life and had many regrets. With some of the things he’s seen and done he can’t imagine himself actually being happy with someone.

- The only person he’s ever mentioned anything such as wanting someone to be happy with is his brother.

-His family means a lot to him. He visits them whenever he can and is really good with his nephews. His brother can’t help but ask if Dominic would ever settle down.

- So with a crush, he’d definitely have to know you first. You’d probably have to make an impression on him from the get go. Something about you just.. pulled him in.

- From then on it’s even harder. He wants to be around you all the time, but hates that he feels that way.

-Due to him feeling like that, he’s probably one to take rejection the worst. There’s absolutely no way you could truly be friends with him after you’ve rejected him.

- He respects it, but he doesn’t go out of his way to talk to you anymore. You wont go out to drinks together anymore or anything unless it’s with a group of your shared friends.

- He isn’t taking anything out on you even if it might feel like it. It’s just kinda how he is. You just originally got special treatment because he had a crush on you.

- On the flip side, if things do progress and you find yourself taking up his offers for just the two of you going out together, it’ll all fall into place.

- Dominic will slowly open up more too you about things in his life and how he’s feeling, and soon enough you both realize you seek each other out over anyone else no matter the situation.

-His confession would most likely be more of a heat of the moment kind of thing. He’s just not able to resist you!

- He’s a little rough around the edges but he’d always treat you right and be there for you
