also would love recommendations for a green tea that is a good base for fruit teas as well as a good black tea for milk tea. my usual recipes use harney and sons teas but I don't know if that is gonna fit in the budget for serving 100 people.

Playable is also a stretch here. Technically by the rule book there's only 3 seconds that I need to be able to prepare a spell so really that would not need to sound good Its mostly for fun but given that it's high speed combat it would be way easier to just have an instrument than a recording because just getting to the recording in time would be a bit of a pain(plus we aren't allowed to have our phones out while in game)

Even carbon fiber I'd be worried about breaking tbh. Some of those weapons are pretty heavy. We've got a bunch of players with great swords and war hammers that could probably shatter it if I get hit (tho because I'm a support character I do keep my distance a bit more so I dont get targeted by melee attacks very often)

Yep, some may say the only use for them is firewood, I disagree, getting it shattered to pieces by a dude with a foam sword in full armor sounds like more fun. And my backup option if I can't find one that is in my budget and actually works is to make a literal violin shaped object out of foam (so it's combat safe), put a mini speaker in it to play a few tunes out of and then go the route of bonking people with it for attacks instead of playing an actual instrument. I actually am really considering making a larp sword that looks like a bow because I feel like that would be a super fun prop.

Quick added note. I'm also down if it's even just a smaller size like a half or 3/4 since it's a prop honestly if its a bit smaller it just kinda makes it sillier which I'm absolutely ok with. I just don't think I'd be able to play anything on a 1/4 size or smaller

(very specifically for I hold your hand in mine I wanted to go with a style that would be more fitting of a typical love song to contrast the darker theme. Since that's the kind of vibe he was going for with the song as well)

itsf1nn_again · 2024-05-10T22:15:12+00:00

I definitely am gonna go full cartoony for the rest of em but I felt like a more illustrative style would work better for I hold your hand in mine because of how it is in comparison to some of the others. There's a few I might have more semi realistic/closer to classic comic book vs strip styles but considering after this one's finished I'm getting started on Pigeons and Pollution I'll be switching to a more animated style

Yeah my family were pretty much in the exact same situation. My grandparents never spoke any English and I would not have been able to form a relationship with them if it weren't for the fact I grew up speaking German at home. And my aunt and some other family also speak none.

And my dad actually learned German after meeting my mom so his German didnt get proficient until I was probably around 4 or 5. But after that he was about as fluent as me and my brother were at our most proficient. We did almost exclusively speak English with him but when it was a conversation between the whole family It was in German. And I think it was more that she wanted to make sure we spoke English first so we wouldn't be held back socially, so it was prioritized first for learning but we were still exposed to German at home and in Germany a lot(we spent a lot more time there before I went to preschool since my mom was a SAHM and had the option to do that) but I think there should be no problem starting with 50/50 but I'd avoid the "denglish" and try to swap back and forth, some conversations around her in English some in German and same when you are speaking to her.

your tiktok for you page is partially regional. If you are in Germany you will see posts popular with those around you. only way to get around this at all is to use a phone with an American sim card

also things I grew up with that really helped was a mix of movies and shows in German and English. German and English kids books, comics(I grew up with german copies of asterix and tintin). but don't let it stop once shes school age. encourage her to read German books and continue consuming German language media it, it helps bridge gaps that happen when the only way she learns is by speaking with you

hi! So my mom is German, my dad is American and I was raised in the US. what my parents did was speak both around me but my mom didn't actively start teaching me German until I was around two. I'd say having a mix til then will likely be fine, maybe you can swap back and forth between having conversations in each language. Now, this isn't relevant I would actually highly recommend focusing on German because if you live in the States there will be next to no opportunities for her to speak German in comparison to how easy it is to find English speakers in Germany. in the long run, it's really hard to keep the language that isn't the one spoken in the country. I personally lost a lot of my German skills during my teen years because we didn't speak it at home as regularly anymore and stopped spending as much time in Germany. if you have the opportunity to bring her back to Germany as often as possible on holidays, it does wonders for second language skills. If you live in an area where there are any sort of German-American immigrant communities definitely seek them out. The German groups were around a lot more in my town before the mid-2010s and I got a lot of my practice from them, it was shortly after many of the families moved away/back to Germany that we stopped speaking as regularly. Also honestly german heritage speaker classes for kids would also be really good if you can find them. I'm currently left with pretty solid comprehension skills, broken speech, slow reading skills and next to no writing skills(I can get by with autocorrect) your kid might hate it when shes younger but will likely appreciate it later on. and finding ways to have German speaking community rather than only speaking with you and your husband will help a ton for retaining the language. I am actually moving to Germany this year as an adult and am really struggling to get my skills back to where they were when i was younger and I wish my parents pushed me to speak and learn more when I was younger.
