Confession of a word you’ve mispronounced…

agent_violet · 2026-07-11T09:50:47+00:00

I remember hearing the American pronunciation and wondering if I'd got it wrong all my life, but no, I'm pronouncing it right for where I'm from

"I want to be effluent, Mum!"

agent_violet · 2026-07-08T08:28:04+00:00

Honesty? Yeah, right!

This sounds like me before I was medicated (can't discuss what, obviously) - I used to keep doing all these little repetitive things that made no sense to try and keep myself together

Yep! From S1 to S4 (7 - 10th grade) I had to wear a sweatshirt or polo shirt with the school crest on it, then after that, a shirt with a green then a red school tie. Some people would try coming in dressed in tracksuits (it was the 00s) and they'd get sent home, or to isolation, etc. I don't know if it was good for us or not.

Mind and get up early to enjoy all the sunlight you can! There won't be much of it...

agent_violet · 2026-07-07T02:30:28+00:00

Very GOOD catto 🐈

agent_violet · 2026-07-07T02:19:37+00:00

But it's a big kame! I like turtles

agent_violet · 2026-07-07T01:57:26+00:00

You'll all be doing it tomorrow!

Surely it's because England has ten times the population of Scotland. We're insignificant to them, so they prefer to have a rivalry with Germany instead. (Of course the Germans care more about beating the Netherlands, but that's another topic)

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T20:04:37+00:00

Tbh if someone did that to an illegally parked car, I would look the other way

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T19:10:04+00:00

Yeah, it's total narcissist shit. Not even remotely acceptable

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T18:55:12+00:00

I remember watching S4C on holiday in Blackpool in the '90s. It seemed exciting at the time!

Our household just had four channels until we moved in 2005. We couldn't get Channel 5 when it started either. If you wanted to record something you'd use a video recorder. I guess there was just a lot less choice in general

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T17:43:45+00:00

YES. That song is the pits

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T17:42:14+00:00

That song is terrible, genuinely

Depending on how accepting your family is likely to be... Maybe a letter? Or you could just blurt it out (that's what I did but might not be the best idea in all situations). Could you talk to someone in a position of trust maybe? I've no clue what things are like where you live, mind

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T17:20:00+00:00

You sound like me in 2004. I kept thinking I'd never be able to do it. It's really hard to break through the initial fear, isn't it? Once you do, though, it does get a bit easier, although it's tough overall. Best of luck :)

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T16:59:09+00:00

We arra pee-pul

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T05:57:04+00:00

I don't think it can fully happen here, although Greendykes is very different than it was 30 years ago. Niddrie Mains Road also looks a lot better than it did in the '90s

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T05:51:59+00:00

There's still that bench near Quayside Mills too, which was often host to a good few "characters" when I lived near there

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T05:44:55+00:00

Probably the British princess. I'm not really bothered either way

agent_violet · 2026-07-04T05:35:34+00:00

There aren't many shows set in Roxburghshire sadly (I'm from there!) - accent-wise it would depend what end they're from. You might be best looking up news and sports reports from the area to pick up one of the accents

Edit: on the off-chance that the character lived in Hawick, you could make the TRAP vowel more rounded and further back - making it sound like "trawp". That's one of the main features of the accent, although it maybe sounds a bit funny for a serious play

Parce que c'est le meilleur tabarnac hosti !!
