Hi, hello, Awoo here. If you're seeing this post, it means the muse(s) on this blog have moved to a more centralized location! Specifically, the very blog I've reblogged this from! So, if you still wanna write with whoever's here, come hit me up over at @awoosmusehorde!

Oh that accent guide is legit really cool. i love how you have a whole ass thing for how she talks

I actually looked up a video guide on how to replicate a "genuine" Irish accent back when I first made her for the One Piece fandom, which is where all of that comes from! I'd link it here, but it's been years and I do not remember what video it was -

#haemoxin #taking a well deserved rest || ooc #but it's all from a professional linguist so I like to think it's fairly accurate #ofc there's obvs different irish dialects but aislin's is particularly thick given that she was a country lass growing up

Side note, if anyone’s curious on how I write Aislin’s accent or just wants some help on figuring out what the hell she’s saying sometimes, here’s a handy guide:

Hard “i”s -> “oi”

So, “I” becomes “Oi”, “like” becomes “loike”, and “time” becomes “toime”. However, softer “i” sounds are left alone, so things like “mist”, “sick” and “pin” are pronounced normally.

Lone “H” sounds are omitted

Unless the “H” in a word is silent or part of another syllable, it’s simply dropped from a word. Heaven -> ‘eaven. Home -> ‘ome. This also applies to “Wh”, when the “W” is silent, such as in whose (’ose) and whole (’ole). There is one other exception to the syllable rule, which is the “Th” sound - these are instead pronounced as hard “T” sounds, dropping the “h” from them. So “there”, “these”, and “thin” become “t’ere”, “t’ese”, and “t’in”.

The “G” is dropped from “-ing” suffixes

Unless it’s just part of the word, the “g” is always dropped from “-ing”, regardless of any other changes to pronunciation. So, “wing” will remain unchanged, but leaving -> leavin’, having -> ‘avin’, travelling -> travellin’, and so on.

Depending on the construction of what Aislin’s saying, this can result in a completely understandable sentence, or a mess of “oi”s, “in”s and “aves”, but hopefully this can help people figure out what Aislin’s saying whenever her accent gets a little… confusing.

Since I forgot to add it, here’s an extra:

“Of” becomes “a”

Whenever anyone else would say “of”, Aislin will drop it and tack on a quick “a” to the end or start of a word either preceding or following where the “of” would normally be, depending on the words. So, for example, “a lot of boxes” would become “a lot’a boxes”. Not too complicated.

Never forget that, due to a multitude of factors, including: her first girlfriend being incredibly selfish and “all take and no give”, the severe damage her body sustained from her accident, the surgeries afterwards, said girlfriend cheating on and breaking up with her while she was in the hospital recovering from said accident and surgeries, and just the severe strain her special forces training put her body through before all of that, Aislin, beneath all her confidence and self-assured attitude, is actually very much hiding deep self-image issues, rooted in her original, timid personality.

Missing her left leg below the knee, having a massive, grotesque scar on the left side of her abdomen, the tips of her left pinky and ring fingers are outright gone, her hands can’t close all the way, her knees likewise don’t bend fully, and having a slightly fucked up digestive system all contribute to her own image of herself as a broken, undesirable mess.

Even once she’s in a relationship, and perhaps especially then, she takes any perceived hint that she’s unattractive as reinforcing that self image, and will drop her into a gloomy, melancholic mood. If someone she sees as more attractive flirts with her partner and they don’t immediately get defensive or even just try to brush them off politely without getting confrontational, she’ll take that as a sign that they find the flirter more attractive and desirable than her.

The charming, self-confident Irish woman you might’ve fallen in love with is just a defense mechanism she created to not fall apart further than she already has, and anyone who wants to be in a relationship with her can hopefully manage that in a healthy manner.

#history of a former soldier || about the muse #aislin is. not well despite everything :')

Somebody: What's it like being tall? Is it nice? Can you comfortably reach for the cupboards? Aislin: We live in constant fear a' t'e short ones 'o, in me experience, will cloimb 4 chairs, 2 boxes, a small coffee table an' 6 oddly-placed stools t'get what t'ey want. Loni: IT WAS ONE TIME!

Anyways, a reminder that Fate verse Aislin doesn’t actually have good enough magical circuits to serve as a proper magus, so in that verse, she has a younger brother who does, and in any HGW setting, he’s the Master, while she’s basically just there as a spare mana battery or a potential decoy.
