do any of you ever talk to the other in a language they do not speak to confuse them? how does that interaction go?

does your shared playlist have more songs in your language or theirs'? feel free to pick a song as an example !

shall answer the first two since the third has been answered !!! (/nm or anything) this too is about Mags and Humphrey because yes <3

Mags speaks irish all the time around Humphrey, ESPECIALLY about things she doesn't want him to hear. Such as, before they formally become a couple, wax on about her love for him. she gets very embarrassed about it if anybody asks for a translation. On the other hand, Humphrey could probably just throw in a bit of English slang into his vocabulary and that would baffle Margaret enough LOL

just realised i arranged these questions wrong ACK OH WELL

is there any sort of language barrier between you two? do you implement that in your selfship lore?

oh do i. rubs hands dubiously

there was and always will be, in a way, a BIG lanaguage barrier between the two. and a whole bunch of other things (they're both ghosts from different historical periods that had England controlling over the entirety of Ireland. so.) Margaret would be, for a long time, feel awful about her attraction to Humphrey, because they can hardly ever understand each other verbally and she doesn't like english people. (this eases up in modern times but she's VERY tense).

However ☝️ this isn't Humphreys first rodeo with language barriers- before he died, he was in an arranged marriage with a French woman who didn't speak much English + disliked the English language. For a long time while in the presence of Mags, he tries learning more irish to make her feel more comfortable (i feel like knowing him he was probably passive about england taking over ireland i don't think he'd hold much against them, especially over time)

Rookie coming through!

I love watching the ISS Tour... so, this doodle is heavily inspired from that! I can only imagine the S.S. Beagle is cramped and complex in its interior... and not as... spacious as the S.S. Shepherd.

As for context, Io and Collin's first expedition together - they had to share this space for aboouut a week in low orbit, so... Io made it a lot of fun, I think... kept knocking into him and just... filling in with summersaults.

ADDITIONALLY... the original background image! Apologies to this astronaut here...

Oh, fuck.
