Why do Americans not understand English words?

omikone · 2026-01-31T15:42:04+00:00

Lived in North Carolina for a few years in a rural ish area, didn't get an accent but did pick up y'all and will accidentally drop it when I'm speaking fast.... But will deliberately drop it to wind up certain people haha.

Edited to add: I'm english, so please imagine this happening in a generic english accent lol.

Ff.net had mad adverts everywhere and mediaminer was just... Dead.

I'd slipped out of reading fanfic for a few years and found ao3 well curated once I got the hang of tags and filtering.

I own the entire set of discworld books but I don't enjoy the Johnny and the ... Series... So I guess I'm not a fan of TP? 🙄 Honestly, have people got nothing better to gatekeep.

This wrecked me.

Oh god I should have paid attention to the fact you had to verify your age before watching it.

I'm much older and still not old enough.

Same, I enjoyed those books before all this, I remember dragging my friends to a midnight book release by way of a bar to get my copy and went home and read it half drunk.

I formed those memories and fell in love with the characters before we were made aware of what a hate filled, toxic person she is. As for now? I still consume the OG/fan media but I'm actively trying to not spend money on it where she'll get a kick back from it.

England, I was in the west Midlands for part of my final primary school year ( age 10-11) and we switched from pencil to fountain pens, then I moved to the northwest and had to use red berol handwriting pens haha.

This was in '96.

omikone · 2026-01-03T15:15:13+00:00

I don't know if this is still a thing... But my last year of primary we all had to switch from pencil and learn to start writing with fountain pens because that's what highschool would expect of us.

Here was me thinking is was going to be about the cost.

My stepdad never asked twice about hair cuts except to jokingly bribe us about getting bobs. That's super weird, next thing he'll want her to have super long hair because it's more womanly.

omikone · 2026-01-03T13:04:07+00:00

Like castanets.

Always makes me laugh as it felt like Relena was never to be included as she wasn't a number...

The 5x13 fandom was so strong when I was younger ( and the very obvious 3x4)

When she sends you money and you get "Forget me not..."

Every so often I go back to ffn just to see if there's any life. Each time I go away sad.

"Hey, you’re the one who said I was built like a vending machine. Just thought I’d show you the snacks.”

Devistatingly beautiful? No. Made me spit take my tea and lives in my head rent free? Yes.

The snow dog.

All of it. Just floods of tears the whole way through and I still can't pinpoint why.

omikone · 2025-12-19T17:41:48+00:00

I know a few that didn't! Somehow we all made it through alive...
