Imagine Person A of your OTP is bilingual, and Person B only knows English. Person B likes the way A sounds when they speak this other language, especially in the bedroom. B asks them to talk in their non-English language, and Person A proceeds to talk about something completely un-sexy. Person B has no idea and listens to A through the whole session. Bonus: A tells them what they were saying afterward and teases them about it.
Person A and B have a one night stand together. In the morning, when they wake up, person A takes B out to breakfast bc dang theyâre cute.
Imagine your OT3 where Person A and Person B are in bed together and whatever theyâre doing is interrupted by Person C vacuuming right outside the door.
A and B are at school and itâs the last period. A is really horny and manages to get out of the class with B. They find an empty classroom and get in. A and B start fucking (trying to be as quiet as they can be) and time flies by. When they finish they cant find a single student or teacher. They try to get out but all the doors are closed. They are locked inside their school praying to god no one finds out.

A and B both have the whole day off to themselves and desperately want to have sex, but any time they even consider it one of Aâs relatives (or someone of your NOTP) keeps spontaneously interrupting them with something unimportant, and itâs the same person every time. By the end of the day when theyâre finally alone and get the chance to fuck, the same person tries calling them. Instead of answering the phone, a very frustrated A screams, grabs it, and violently throws it out of the room.
Person A and B were cuddling together in bed, mostly in silence, but occasionally chatting.
Person B (little spoon) was struggling to remember how a conversation that they had earlier went because of how tired they were.
Person A (big spoon) lifted their hand up and pat Bâs head and said âItâs okay, I know your tired.â
The little spoon just closed their eyes and responded with âDonât fucking patronize me you twat.â
The big spoon then responded by cracking up and almost falling out of bed.
EXTRA:
Little spoon then turned around and shoved their big spoon off the bed because they were annoyed at being laughed at that much.

three internet trends i will (regrettably) probably never grow out of:
⢠typing in a cresCENDO TO EXPRESS EXCITEMENT ⢠âŚâŚâŚâŚ..unnecessarilyâŚâŚ. longâŚâŚâŚ.. ellipsisâ ⢠puttinfh a typo in eveyr other word to shwo u dont really give a fukc but u actually do
also unnecessary!!!! punctuation marks??????? likeâŚâŚ ??? what is going on here????? i!! am!!! so!!! excited!!!!
and⢠totally⢠unneeded⢠trademark symbolsâ˘
personally I enjoy Random Capitalisation to show things are Very Important
can we also talk about starting a sentence and then kind of justÂ
stating something reblog if you agree
dude this isnât even a collection of memes, this is a demonstration of internet grammar⌠anyone who says that when you type and communicate on the internet you lose too much inflection to get the real meaning just doesnât understand internet syntax. the evolution of language in action.
the Rosetta Stone of the twenty first century
Also :) doing :) this :) to express :) bottled :) pain :)
or,,,,,using commas,,,,,, for elipsisâ ,,,, bc,,, it sounds better,,, in your head,,,, than periods,,,,,,,
pu t ting sp a ces in your wor ds at r and om time s because w hat the fu ck
Is it just me, or did anyone else read all of these with different tones of voice, volume, and inflection?

I think this entire post sums up the conversations I have with very passionate individuals, and I love it.
Thereâs a lovely old English myth that if someone who truely loved and trusted the werewolf called it by name that it would turn back to human.
Others include throwing their human clothes at it and itâd turn back but thatâs a bit less romantic
#ok i understand ppl would take the romancey route here#but imagine the werewolfâs mother#or grandmother#some wizened old woman or middle aged woman#with wrinkles or hands toughened from years of labor#just going out into the woods#where even the men with axes wonât go anymore#and facing down the ravening beast#and saying#itâs time to come home
I actually like the âthrowing clothes at itâ better cause now Iâm picturing Grandma stomping out of the house at 3 AM in her slippers, arms full of clothes and facing down this horrible, snarling beast.
And then she just starts flinging clothes at it like âGODDAMN IT JEFFERY IT IS THREE IN THE FUCKING MORNING YOU GET YOUR PANTS ON AND COME BACK INSIDE RIGHT THIS MINUTEâ
I love both these versions.
you know how mathematicians have the journal of recreational mathematics, right? where they publish stuff like, âoh i found this cool property of this one seemingly boring numberâ, or, âthis is literally nonsense but it sounds ~scientific~â and itâs all great fun to read?
well
behold, the journal of recreational linguistics
with such delightful papers as âtennis punsâ, âanimals in different languagesâ, and âgifts from a homonymous benefactorâ
excuse me while i go read all 50 volumes in one sitting
they even have linguistic magic squares im crying
wait wait where is the maths one ;A;
ask and you shall receive
recreational mathematics magazine
OH MY GOD THANK YOU
based on EVERY TAG IâVE SEEN ABOUT HIM, @copperbadge should see this if he hasnât alreadyâŚ.
I actually really struggle with linguistics but this is the kind of language play I could sink my teeth into :DÂ
What canvas size do you draw on? I use 3000Ă3000 (300 ppi) and save as a png, and when I post on here it's always blurry :(
around 1500x1500 - 2000x2000 smth. AND PAL, MY ART HERE IS /ALWAYS/ BLURRY AS WELL! its a fucking nightmare to get it right! i dont htink thereâs much we can do about it :ââââ^(Â it also changes depending on phone or computer, so it seems to just be kinda inevitableÂ
thatâs notâŚâŚâŚ. how child speech worksâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ..
god okay in an attempt to be less of an asshole, hereâs how child speech DOES work (or tend to work, at least)
kids tend to hypercorrect â this means that they tend to say things like âsleepedâ instead of âslept,â âwritedâ instead of âwrote,â âgoedâ instead of âwent,â etc
kids tend not to make errors such as omitting verbs (âi hungryâ)
kids also tend not to make errors in the i/me, she/her department (âme am hungryâ)
simplification of difficult sounds â consonant clusters especially, so things like st, sp, ps, etc., as well as f, v, th-sounds, ch-sounds, etc.
âbabblingâ-type utterances (âapwenâ for âairplane,â using one babbly word for multiple objects, things like that)Â generally occur in children under the age of three and a half
say it with me: an eight-year-old child is not going to be saying âme hungwyâ
do not confuse child speech with stereotypical learner english mistakes, thatâs not only incorrect but also gross on the stereotypical learner english front (âme love you long time,â anybody?)
if youâre going to write kidfic please do some * research
Totally. It can be helpful to remind yourself that young children tend to speak as though the English language actually made sense. Our brains are pattern-recognising machines: children are really, really good at puzzling out the implicit rules of the English language, but they donât necessarily know all the silly exceptions and bizarre edge cases that break those rules yet - those can only be learned through experience and rote memorisation.
Basically, when children who speak English as a first language make mistakes, it typically reflects a tendency to treat English as more grammatically, syntactically, and/or orthographically consistent than it really is. In some cases, this can be compounded by the fact that some kids will get offended at how little sense âproperâ English makes, and insist upon using the more consistent forms even though they know very well that theyâre technically âwrongâ.
for a long young portion of my life I insisted on pronouncing Sean âSEENâ because thatâs how itâs spelled.
As someone who spends a good majority of her time working with kids, it irks me to no end when I see children written as if theyâre babies.
Past the age of about five or six years old, children can have deep, intellectual conversations about the most bizarre of things. I HAD A CONVERSATION LAST WEEK WITH FOUR THIRD GRADERS ABOUT THE GAS PRICES AND TAXES IN HAWAII.
Were they entirely correct in the facts they were giving? No, because it was all from what they had heard from parents or on the news. But that doesnât take away from the fact that I was having a genuine conversation with four eight and nine year olds about taxes.
Just about the only speech problems most kids have, unless they have a speech impediment, is not being able to pronounce certain consonants (replacing âthâ with âfw,â for example, and some letters are harder to form with your mouth than others) and doing exactly what the person above said: using the English language the way they know how, which isnât always the way English works.
Kids arenât stupid. Stop writing them like they are.
I was tutoring a little kid (second grade, I think). He was complaining about a worksheet. âThis is hard.â I started to correct him as I knew he was more than capable of it and this bright kid, who had obviously heard the lecture before from others, interrupted me and said: âI know. I know. Itâs not really difficult. Itâs just time consuming.â Some kids are spooky-smart and even quite articulate.
If you need (plotwise) to emphasize that the child is specifically childish ⌠have them tell the same joke to everyone they meet, cracking themselves up before they get to the punchline ⌠have them ask âWhy?â incessantly ⌠have them fidgeting and possibly breaking things (âOops.â âWhat?â âNothing!â âWHAT?!â) ⌠and if you have more than one kid, even of the same age, you donât have to write them at the same intelligence level or emotional maturity. Some kids are messy and some are obsessively neat. Some are quiet, some loud. Some giggly, some surly. They basically come in the same range of personalities as adults.Â
If you donât want to invest a lot of time writing dialog for kids, just establish that you have a quiet kid. But a kid who gives single-word answers is usually doing so because they donât like you (or trust you) or they are focused on their own thing and youâre interrupting them. It doesnât mean they lack the vocabulary or that they donât understand the adult conversation going on âover their headâ (the more inappropriate the conversation, the more likely the kids are paying attention).
I have jabbed the back button so many times on terrible kid fic. This is an excellent resource - kid fic, when done well, is a real treat for me.
The only children I have ever met who did say things like âme hungwyâ were the ones who had figured out that if they sounded âadorableâ they could wrap adults around their precious little fingers. Kids get it.
Good resource for people who write but spend no time with children.
âKIDS GET ITâ
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^THIS
In my experience, kids five and up* converse basically like less-educated but still-intelligent adults with smaller vocabularies, a slightly more sketchy understanding of grammar, and really delightful (and often gross) senses of humor.
They are people.  Real people with complex thoughts and inner lives, strong opinions, and the ability to draw accurate conclusions about the people around them and their motives with surprisingly little to go on.  And writing them well is actually a hell of a lot of fun.
Kids are cool. Â Write them like it.
* I donât have much experience with kids younger than this, but I know I was able to read at three, so never, ever underestimate the intelligence of children, for purposes of fic or anything else.
This is gold, thank you for this oh my god!!! I know I am guilty of writing the Tiny Sides with the âwâ sound and omitting words or consanents, but to be fair, I donât really spend a lot of time with kids so I have no idea what a normal development curve would be. Iâm going to use this to improve their dialogue, and frankly it will be much easier for me to write and you guys to understand this way.
So if youâre wondering why theyâre going to be speaking much more eloquently from now on, hereâs my reasoning.
I was thinking about this post while I was babysitting an almost-two-year-old so Iâm glad itâs back on my dash again.
What an actual toddler sounds like (or at least, what this one sounds like):
everything is limited by vocabulary. if kid knows âno,â âup,â and âmama,â then kid is going to say âno up! mama!â instead of âI do not want you to be the one to carry me, in fact I would prefer my mother to do so.â
similarly, if kid knows âmilkâ and âwater,â and sees juice, kid may call juice âwaterâ because she doesnât have a word for âbeverageâ
loud shrieking for no reason. not just crying, but being excited or happy, too. childrenâs laughter is loud.
kids learn by repeating what they hear. for example, the kid I babysit not only knows âno,â but ânononononoâ because thatâs what I say when sheâs about to do something dangerous, and she treats them as two separate words. same with âoh gosh,â which I think she just says without knowing what it means.
âuh ohâ is baby for âfuckâ
sign language is a thing. baby!me would pretend to drink from a glass for âthirsty.â baby I babysit mimes a shark with her hands because her favorite song is âBaby Shark.â
