Hi, would you please mind elaborating on those verbal tics of Hawks’s?

!! Sure! Mostly I just meant the suffixes and pronouns and “degree of politeness” and whatnot he uses that gets lost in translation.

Just saying, I’m not Japanese myself and I’m not a full-fledged expert in Japanese language and culture. I do think I generally know what I’m talking about, but if I made any mistakes in terms of interpretation please let me know!

Here’s Hawks mentioning who ranks how in terms of sheer popularity. He uses “ore” for himself (and he’s #2 in popularity). When referring to all other pro heroes, he uses the suffix ‘-san’.

We know Hawks is from Kyushu– though where in Kyushu specifically hasn’t been stated yet.

It’s pretty far from Tokyo, and irl the accent/suffixes and everything are REALLY different– though not to the degree of the Ryukyu Islands’ language differences from the rest of Japan, it can be really difficult for speakers of the standard Tokyo dialect to understand Kyushu dialects.

all im saying is that sometimes in the weird video game adaptation, AM kind of goes past “frighteningly emotionally damaged” territory into the “slightly adorable which is like 500 times more adorable than a mass-murdering computer should be” zone

honestly, tamaki becoming one of the big three while struggling with incredibly debilitating social anxiety? amazing, love him. powerful.

Dear Justin Trudeau,

That NAFTA deal is terrible. Canadians don’t want shitty America milk in our food/dairy aisles. You knew that you fucking twat.

Suck a giant bag of dicks.

Sincerely,

Like pretty much every Canadian

webby is such a great character … this very loud, awkward, frankly Weird girl with the most bizarre obsessions and random skill set but totally lacking many other basic realworld and interpersonal skills … but not in that “perfect, naive Girl” way, in a more truthful “doesnt understand why her behavior is obnoxious, inappropriate, and sometimes unpleasant for others” way… shes just seriously one of a kind i cant think of any other characters to compare her to (superficially shes a bit like mabel pines but with a much better understanding of what it means to lack social grace) i just wuv her so much i feel completely unbridled affection for that little duck
