I’m in two minds about this. Firstly, people who call out other that are struggling to learn a language are absolute arseholes. Languages are difficult and also there are people who assume because someone speaks with a non-native accent that their spoken language is poor, fuck those cunts. It costs nothing to just be kind and understanding with people. The US and their ‘you’re in America, speak English’ is fucking jokes ‘cause they’re not English nor are they in England. America is a bastard nation who have no claim to anything, speak whatever language you wish.

The other side, this is perhaps specific to certain cultures or perhaps it’s more common, idk. I have an aunt who emigrated a lot later than my mum and her other siblings and when she and her husband arrived here She knew no English, we live in England, and because there’s a large South Asian community and her husband got a job working with other Indians and my aunt was a housewife, neither of them learnt the language. This became a problem for my cousins who had to grow up waaaaay too fast and started learning about finances and such from too young of an age and were translating adult thing and had adult worries when they shouldn’t have. 

So I understand your side but I do also think it’s important to work towards learning the language of the country you’re in, not appease the racists and idiots but to make your and your children’s lives easier. I mean, most of my cousins are going off to uni now and my aunt and her husband are gonna struggle when they’re alone. 

5.what is your favorite thing about hockey?

It's something between the speed and technique. I've always been fascinated by how they do what they do so quickly and the more I learn while watching or playing myself the more awe-ing the speed and technique at the pro levels becomes. In order to do everything that happens on the ice there is so much multitasking with muscle groups all while keeping your head on a damn swivel while talking to the other guys on the ice to make a new play as the old play breaks.

7. top five favorite players on your favorite team

Top 5?! Doesn't say on the current roster so:

What about in COFT, there was a female counterpart to the tikbalan right? Was that considered a female water horse?

Oh yeah, my list wasn’t exhaustive or anything, it was just giving examples of how other female waterhorses existed.

that line literally fucked my brain up. I didn’t even realize that really, he could have saved Newt had he stayed behind until he said it out loud. Like, I thought that they could have saved him if things were a little different, if Teresa managed to find the cure just a bit earlier, or if Newt stayed behind with Gally and took the syringe right away (which fuck it just occurred to me?? he literally could’ve potentially lived if he wasn’t so eager to find Minho).
