Just realized I haven’t done an introduction post yet oh my god

hi!!! I am tunik (at least this is the alias I go by under this sideblog). I created this account to post whatever I feel like (mostly stuff about language)

18 (2008).

I am a trans (ftm) Turkish student who is preparing for the university entrance exam. I want to study linguistics or translation studies in Bogazici University. Or French language and literature in Galatasaray University. Time will tell, but I do want to place in Bogazici so badly. Wish me luck!

other than that, I like hiveswap and planning to start Homestuck. I also enjoy Hetalia too.

I will probably update this post later on lol

I came across this comment under a tiktok video, and felt like speaking my mind on it

For those who are unfamiliar, the video shows a clip of "The Creeper Rap" by Dan Bull. The lyrics go like this:

I'm a Creeper, Minecraft's Grim Reaper Blowing up blocks like Al-Qaeda

I'm not here to talk about if the lyrics are insensitive or not. But there's one thing that I could tell: IT RHYMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see, there is something called “Non-rhoticity” in this song. Which means that the “R” sound falls. It is actually pretty common in certain dialects, such as AAVE, which heavily influences rap music.

Also, Dan Bull is British himself. Standart British English is mostly non-rhotic. Which causes both "Reaper" and "Al-Qaeda" to end with a "schwa" [ə]
