The phrase “auld lang syne” translates literally to “old long since” in English and means something akin to “times gone by"

— s1e3 kiss that should have happened —

There. I fixed it. Saul should have kissed her temple.

You cannot imagine how long I've been thinking about this. Probably since the first time I watched the show, because with how he moved I was convinced that he was going to kiss her temple.

Many many moons ago, I decided that I should actually attempt to draw them. I made x breaks over x months and only a few days ago made myself finish Farah's eyes, which made the last 0.5% of the drawing and therefore the whole thing was finally done! I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out!

(I stole the title from Lewis Capaldi's Love The Hell Out Of You. I'm leaving it below because it fits Silrah so very much. Also the way Saul is dying and yet comforting Farah will never get boring.)

Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.

Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”

Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.

Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.

Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.

Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.

Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

I am what God made me. And perhaps it is my difference that will make me useful. I think again of your sermon. I know what it is to exist between the world’s certainties.
