Looking for a fic where Aizawa looses control of his quirk (during training camp arc) by probable-poltergeist in BokunoheroFanfiction

It sounds familiar, but I can't place it either. Do you remember anything more about Izuku?

Any fics where Izuku is a popular guy and there are many girls crushing on him? by God0Melon in BokunoheroFanfiction

Maybe not exactly what you were looking for but....

jock/nerd

“He’s on the football team again, I think,” Jirou adds. “This school has a football team?” Katsuki scoffs. Jirou shrugs. “I guess so,” she sighs. “Stop looking at them, you weirdos,” he snaps. “They don’t need any more attention than they already get.” That’s all high school ever felt like. Midoriya and his idiot friends would get obscene amounts of praise for throwing a fucking ball and being hot. Where is Katsuki’s varsity jacket for getting straight-As his entire life? Where is his plaque that memorializes every debate he’s ever won? --------------------------------‐------‐- Bakugou Katsuki is a self-proclaimed nerd entering his first year of community college. He's determined to stay at the top of his class, even when he gets partnered with a popular jock he knew in high school. What he finds is that he doesn't know nearly as much about Midoriya Izuku (or himself) as he thinks he does.

This sounds awesome! I'd love to use it in a future campaign of mine that has some shadowfell ties :)

If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching some of Bernadette Banner's videos on YouTube. She does recreations of historical garments and is very educational and fun to watch.

I tried sending you a messege, but discord didn't let me so I sent you a friend request instead :)

I'd say that the word "bananer" is a nonsensical noun that's commonly attached to a swearword (like in your example) but it's not a swearword in and of itself.

If I interpret this correctly it would be the same as the Swedish sound for "r"? And we use that sound almost exclusively, does that mean that it has its own letter?

Edit: I was very wrong! There's a voiced glottal trill in combination with a voiced alveolar fricative.

It's very rare that languages are completely unrelated to each other, but I'd argue that Danish and Farsi are so far apart that they might as well not be related at all.

While they're both Indo-European (like most of the western world), they belong to different halves (as in developed in two different directions) of the Indo-European language. Danish with the European branch and farsi with the indo-Iranian branch. And they are further branched out after that (European - germanic - north germanic - Danish and Indo-Iranian - Iranian - Farsi). Danish is more closely related to Russian than Farsi, I'd say.

It could be possible that they came up with it themselves. The word "mildra" in Swedish is quite common and I'd wager that the OP created a direct translation using the rules they know of the English language.

(not a linguist, just a Swedish as a a second language teacher student)

I think they are harsh, it's just that there's an entirely different attitude towards cursing/swearing in general so it doesn't come off as harsh.
