I Actually Really Like The Thing When You're Starting To Get The Hang Of A New Language, Enough To Understand
I actually really like the thing when you're starting to get the hang of a new language, enough to understand and say simple sentences but you gotta get creative to get more complex thoughts across, like a puzzle. I remember a time in the restortation school when a classmate who wasn't natively finnish and did her best anyway dropped something and sighed, telling me "every day is monday this week. I have had four mondays this week." And I understood.
I don't think I speak much of spanish anymore, but in the nursing school training period I did there, I did manage to get by with making weird Tarzan sentences. I got a nosebleed at some point and startled another nurse. Not knowing the words "humidity" or "stress", I managed to string together: "This is ok. It is hot, it is cold, I have a bad day, I am sad, I have blood. This is normal for me." And she understood.
And sometimes you just say things weird, but it's better than not saying it. One time, I was stuck in a narrow hallway behind someone walking really slowly with a walker, and he apologised for being in the way. I was not in any hurry, but didn't know the spanish word for "hurry", but I did know enough words to try to circumvent it by borrowing the english "I have all the time in the world."
The man burst into one of those cackling old man laughters that they do when something in this world still manages to surprise them. He had to be somewhere between 70 and a 100 years old, and I guess if there was one thing he wasn't expecting to hear today, it would be a random blond vaguely baltic-looking fuck casually announce that he is the sole owner and keeper of the very concept of time.

Based off that one trend because this is literally her baby!!!
Ok I’ll stop drawing baby Damian because I always end up doing it???
Fair enough, i do the same
I think the batkids should have incomprehensible nicknames for one another.
For example: When Jason and Dick are getting to know each other, Jason’s phone keeps autocorrecting “Dick” to “duck.” This leads Jason to start calling Dick “Duck,” which then morphs into “Duckie,” then “Rubber Duckie,” and then it finally changes to “Ernie.”
Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.
I'm trying to prove something.
it must suck to do an assassinate and have everyone cheering you on and hyping you up cuz you can’t tell anyone you did it. you have to keep that information to yourself.
