Oh Well, now we talk about homestuck
I Will never understand that fandom.
Half of my friends loves it but I'm just there saying "isn't that the zodiac sings(?) in Trolls or something"
Yeah, I know a Lot about it B^

aha ha yeah I have the same kind of nervousness, which I solve by being ON THE FORUM ALL THE TIME ALL DAY which is. um. obviously not a good long-term solution.


Of course it's a perfectly reasonable long term solution! What are you talking about?

there's honestly not a lot TO know? I mean there is, but honestly I barely understand what the plot is anymore... I read it just before the year-long hiatus happened and was never really involved with the fandom...

Don't hide, she's nice. She's only scary if you insult her favourite hockey teams.

And yes, a direct quote: "It has to be Roxy because Rose's hair doesn't stick out"
(I'm not sure what that means so I hope you do)

to be fair there are only a few threads I always read all the way through, like the art and self-insert threads. Otherwise, there are some I just. take a deep breath and skim through or just skip parts completely, like this thread, sometimes...

I feel so bad for skipping parts, though. But it would be impossible to read all the threads, so I just read through my favorite ones.

Did we ever figure out if we were going to start a thread to showcase our accents?
Because I did a thing.

ahh no it's not because I don't think she is, it's because I have weird fandom securities and not sure how to react to fANS??

I... I'm still super insecure about my english accent because what the heck is it, but you still haven't heard my czech.............. hmMmMMMM

"Thank yoh".
Hahaha I love this!!

I'm not a native speaker, so I can't recognize accents too well, but you made it very clear in that third example.

Maybe you should post this in that vocaroo thread that Sunny thought we could revive? Then we could all start doing the accent thing for real.

Doopadoo, goin' off to find that vocaroo thread.
(What's the ettiquette now, to delete this post or what?)
(Also, Haiz, I'm thinking of trying to record myself attempting a sentence or two in Norwegian so that way you can laugh at my horrific accent and maybe not feel bad about yours, should I try it?)

It's a general discussion thread, I think you can leave it?
ahahah it'd be fun to hear, but I'm not really one to laugh at horrific norwegian accents. That would be kind of rude to my mother and, well, a lot of other people I know.........

Well, I don't think having an accent or a weird pronunciation is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, that what makes the "how you sound?" thread so fun. And I don't believe anyone here has a thicker accent than me, but that still has to be proved.


EDIT: 400th post! Yaay!

RTR: I can see the difference between this three accents. I Really do like Your accent instead of the stereotype One or the One you do while recording.

As for my accent, I've heard a Lot of american accents and I have One instead of a Spanish One. Most of my recordings of me speaking in english are in my YT channel in 1-year-old videos :P

Edit: I've found One video of 3 maybe
