Currently breathing

Hi, I’m Froggie, I regularly forget to tag my reblogs so be careful if you have any triggers as I may not have them properly tagged. I like art, baking, mythologies, rugby and beading and random facts. Ask me anything :) I’m agender and haven’t really figured out what pronouns I’d like to use but I’m usually ok with they/them/theirs but I’d prefer it if you ask :)

Love the trope in yj of Dick Grayson not having English be his first language and only starts learning once he moves in with Bruce because then situations like this can potentially happen

---

Dick, annoyed and playing it up: He called me the B word! *Points at Wally, a whole two years older than him and English is his first language*

Wally, glaring in confusion: ... Motherfucker doesn't start with a B, dumbass.

Dick, shaking the act: Wait, really? What does it start with then?

Wally, frowns in even MORE confusion: Motherfucker starts with M. If I were to call you a bitch, that would start with a B.

The rest of the JL with Proteges just look on in confusion and bafflement. Bruce sighs, putting a hand on his forehead.

Hal, trying to whisper: Is he dyslexic?

Dick, grinning: Nope! I'm still learning English! Teach me more curses, Wally!

Wally, grinning back: You got it!

Bruce and Barry, fearing the wrath of Alfred and Iris respectively: NO!

---

I dunno, just a funny concept to have Dick learn English and at one point think that this swear starts with this letter but it doesn't.

And if you were wondering, yes. I was referencing that one meme thing that I can't remember the name of or where it came from :,D

[michelangelo-has-transedsupered]

Imagine this happens with the Team too or something similar at least

---

Robin, to M'gann: Can you hand me that... Uh... That- what's the word in English?

The rest of the Team, staring in confusion

Wally, groaning in exasperation: We've talked about this, dude, described it. Or say it in the language and we'll see what we can figure out.

Robin: The people opener?

The entire Team, horrified

Kaldur: Robin, I'm sorry, the what.

Robin, less sure: the thing that people cut people open with? Like a- a dagger, but for cooking and what people threaten people with?

Artemis, cackling: Do you mean a fuckin' knife?!

Robin, snapping his fingers: That's it! Thank you!

Conner, eyebrows furrowed: Did you seriously refer to a knife as a people opener?

Robin, tilting his head: Should I not have?

M'gann: No!

Wally, wheezing: Dude, what the fuck??

[yoursleepdemon]

im wheezing (English is my first language btw I just suck at it) here's some additions from things I've actually said

Robin: Where's the cha chewy

The team: the what

Robin : You know, the cha chewy*makes a slapping notion on a desk*

The team:?

Robin: Found it!

Artemis: You mean the fucking stapler?!

Robin: It makes the noise

[froggie-is-currently-breathing]

Things me and my friends have said that fit this

Dick: what’s the name of that place

Wally: dude, I need like at least two more descriptors.

Dick: you know, the room with the chair for shitting?

Conner: mother fucker do you mean the bathroom?!

Dick: …yes

Dick: what’s the name of that food thingy?

Wally: dude, descriptors are a thing, I’m not a fucking mind reader.

Dick: it’s the sweet thing

Wally: oh yeah, that’s helpful

Dick: it’s like if you turned a cloud into food, the French word for it is barbe de papa

Wally: there’s a food called daddy’s beard in French?!? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT COTTON CANDY?

Dick: yeah, I want some. Where can I get some?

Dick: what’s the name of the scribble scribble thing?

Wally: what?

Dick: it makes lines on papers and makes people dead in the movie with the guy with the dead dog?

Wally: A PENCIL, the word you are looking for is pencil and the movie you’re referring to is John Wick

Dick: that’s the bitch

Dick: mother fucker! Wally, what is the English word for sky potatoes?

Wally: sky potatoes *wheeze* what language am I supposed to be translating from right now?

Dick: uhhh, French, I think?

Wally: potato, potato, potato… ah! Pomme de terre- bitch do mean an apple?

Dick: YES, thank you

Dick: hey Wally? What’s the word for strangulation cloth?

Wally: I’m so confused

Dick: the cloth that goes on the bed but it squishes?

Wally: do you mean a fitted sheet?

Dick: nononono it is thicker and goes on top of the person

Wally: … a weighted blanket?

Dick: yeah!

[michelangelo-has-transedsupered]

Strangulation cloth

I'm wheezing

Also, yes. This was my EXACT vision!!! Him not remembering words and giving very vague descriptors and everyone else being so confused but Wally (and sometimes Kaldur or Will, then Roy) being the translator. But when none of the three other og Proteges are there, M'gann needs to do a mindlink in order for them to understand

Also, side note, is the French word for cotton candy actually directly translate to Daddy's Beard???

[froggie-is-currently-breathing]

Yeah, that’s one of the translations it’s either daddy’s beard or papas beard

Not to vent but: fuck

My woke take, as someone who has worked in both a public library and a school library, is that we desperately need both more books that are at a higher reading level but a less mature subject matter, and more books that are at a lower reading level but a more mature subject matter, because 8 year olds who are advanced readers are still 8 year olds and don't want to read about graphic violence and torture, and teens and adults who have learning difficulties or who are just later readers for whatever reason are still teens and adults and don't want to read about Billy the Bunny going to school or whatever the hell.

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

I think one of the gentlest things in the world is when a friend just gets your weird little brain. like you say half a sentence and they finish it. you reference something incredibly niche from seven years ago and they’re already nodding. they understand your strange vocabulary for emotions that don’t have real words yet. it’s being seen and known and still loved. maybe especially because you’re known. god. what a gift.

The upside to the adhd forgetting that you made yourself a drink thing is thinking to yourself “man I could go for a drink right now” and looking to your right and seeing a drink has appeared there. Thank you, past me. I lost you somewhere but you have still provided.
