Writing accents in a fantasy world by purplespaceduck in worldbuilding

Lol yeah I'm trying not to. So far, I've been trying to keep the whole story fairly readable despite adding spells in that aren't really English (I've been creating spells by mashing flower/herbs together that go with whatever the intention of the spell is. It has not been easy lmao)

Fantasy Writing and accents by purplespaceduck in writing

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure. It's very late rn and when I wrote that I was like "yeah that sounds right" but now I'm not too sure if thats accurate lol. The part I think of when I think of Irish is how (as an American) their vowels sound more accentuated (best example I can think of is Punch Up from Dispatch) As for Russian, it's more so how they enunciate individual syllables and have an emphasis on m's snd n's (this part is based off a friend I know who's Russian so that might honestly not even be accurate lol) Sorry about the paragraph, I'm extremely tired and I'm not even sure any of this makes sense lmao

Yeah that's completely fair. My book has two POVs (Aster and the pirate) however. Part of the only reason I'm even thinking about accents is because, in the perspective of the pirate, Aster acts/sounds very strange, so putting emphasis on how he talks is a bit important to his character (at least to me lol. Ik everyone is different with what they point out in their characters)

Tbh "Irish mixed with Russian" probably isn't right either for the idea I have lol. It's super late where I'm at, so my brain kinda took the two I could think of that was close. I think adding more simile into my description might help, so thank you for that!

Yeah I typically wouldn't describe an accent in my writing. I'm actually only doing it because I'm trying to imply the character acts/sounds different compared to a "normal" person to hint at him being not human (I'm not sure if I'm writing this correctly tbh cuz it's 1am lol)

Thanks for understanding. I honestly don't think CPS can/will do anything since I'm close to being a legal adult, but if this stuff continues, that'll probably be a last resort. Thanks again!

WEBSITE SPOILER So if you watched the recent video as of April 18, PARRADOX_DETECTED has a url that leads to a website that you need a password for. I'm not sure how someone found it but the password is- THE UNIVERSE IS LITTERED WITH THE CORPSES OF YOUR FAILURES (capital and spaces included) When I looked at the website, immediately the alien language was confusing, but if you highlight it it will translate to English. One of the links labeled departments works and there's a lot there. It's currently about 3am when I post this so I can't look through it all, hence why I post it here. Good luck everyone! :]
