Look, everyone! He has a name.
Well it about time that we know what his fucking name was.
when i was really little, my babysitter only spoke spanish with me so i became bilingual but i never knew when i was speaking spanish or english. one time i told my mom i wanted an avocado & she understood but then when i said the same thing to my babysitter later that day, she burst into tears with laughter because i was saying “quiero abogado” which means “i want a lawyer.”
imagine a two year old repeatedly saying “i want a lawyer!” as an adult laughs at her.
Reminding me of also funny story: So my piano teacher of many years when I was a kid had a baby when I was in my teens. This little girl was super bright, and also bilingual in Mandarin and English from her first word.
I do not speak Mandarin. At all.
One day as I’m waiting for my mom to pick me up after the lesson, Baby Girl is playing in the kitchen and hears me sneeze! And she runs over and says, “You need [incomprehensible]?”
Now here’s the thing: I knew she was not speaking Mandarin. I don’t speak it, but my aunt and uncle both do, and a close family friend’s family growing up would code-switch quite comfortably around us. I was old enough and it was sufficiently different from English that because there was no formal teaching, I never derived anything from it? But I was very familiar with how it sounds to an uncomprehending ear.
What she said did not sound like Mandarin at all. It sounded like gibberish. Like English baby gibberish.
As I clearly didn’t understand, Baby Girl repeats, “You need [gibberish]!” and then, when I still don’t understand, she stamps her foot and makes Angry Noise at me, which attracts her mother’s attention.
Bewildered, I relate what’s going on. Her mother covers her face and says, “She wants to know if you want a kleenex.”
And then my piano teacher explained that Baby Girl had figured out that some people didn’t speak English and some people didn’t speak Mandarin and she needed to confine herself to one language around them.
But sometimes, as is very natural especially for quite young children, she’d run up against realizing she didn’t know the word for something – and sometimes she knew the word in one language, but not in the other!
And it seemed intuitive to her that the way to fix this was to say the word from the other language … with the right accent.
So what she’d been doing was taking the word for “tissue” or “kleenex” in Mandarin and saying it like an Anglophone would: no tone-change and different vowel shapes and all. And it made Baby Girl VERY FRUSTRATED when this did not solve the problem, and at that point she seemed to believe that the adults around her were being stupid on purpose.
children are amazing
As someone raised bilingual I can relate to this. I grew up speaking Tanglish and sometimes it’s difficult to tell where English ends and where Tamil begins.
And the worst part is depending on the context, my brain changes from “more Tamil” to “more English.”
For example when talking to babies or pets, my brain will not allow me to use English. Talking to babies or pets in English just feels WRONG. When I’m angry – same deal. Angry English is defanged and bland. Angry TAMIL on the other hand is legit terrifying and gets the emotion across better. When cooking, English terms make no sense. This has resulted in me forgetting the English names for vegetables on numerous occasions.
However there is one instance where my brain defaults to pure unadulterated 100% English with absolutely no substitutions… when talking about perverted/sexual things.
Sweaties, rey skywalker theory has been dead for a year already – stop disturbing her peaceful rest
Rey Skywalker isn’t dead. You just need to accept one of three possibilities and it makes perfect sense!
1. That Han and Leia had another child, which Ben was completely unaware of, who they would abandon on Jakku.
2. That Luke would have an affair with a random unnamed woman, and abandon their child on Jakku.
3. That Anakin would cheat on Padme, and his bastard child would go on to have Rey.
Any one of those things could happen, so Rey Skywalker is perfectly alive!
Rey Skywalker is about as dead as all those children Anakin slaughtered, give it up already
What sounds more thematically similar to SW?
Jedi of light kills her deranged cousin brother/real brother who is the Jedi of dark
Jedi of dark meets Jedi of light who are both equals in the ways of the Force and have a connection unique to them, and fall in love because of that connection. This connection draws them both to the opposing side, and their love winds up balancing out the Force.
If you picked Option A, you need to watch SW again.
honestly, transitioning medically should not be done by underage kids. it is possible they are not even trans nor need the process of transitioning done. during that time, hormones are going crazy, kids are impressionable and very easily swayed and convinced into things regarding gender and sexuality, confusion is bound to happen and what is believed to be dysphoria could be something else entirely – it could even be just a symptom of going through puberty.
kids already don’t care about gender roles or this or that, so they don’t need to start being confused and thinking they’re trans when someone mentions; “oh, you’re a tomboy? maybe you’re trans !” that’s not going to do any good and its going to sit in their mind to ponder over it and over it and over it. they could make a mistake by transitioning too early like some people do and then come to realize that they are not trans and detransition but essentially have altered their body to an extent already.
it can be dangerous. transitioning is definitely not something children should do – it should be put on hold until they are of age and done going through puberty to really determine whether or not they are actually trans and are actually experiencing gender dysphoria and not something else like dysmorphia or just a general distaste for gender roles.
i know this is super controversial but kids should not be medically transitioning.
