being a non native english speaker and having picked it up through a lot of different things is pretty funny because you end up using words like “y’all” and “whilst” in the same sentence. keeps native speakers on their toes
“Wow.” Ezri’s eyes widen in amazement as her gaze sweeps up and down, admiring Julian’s figure. “You look amazing.”
“Well, I guess that’s a thing that comes with marrying a good tailor,” says Julian, adjusting his collar in the mirror. He’s used to wearing this Federation-cut suit, but Garak has incorporated Cardassian textures into the hems and it comes together as a beautiful meshing of the two cultures.
“It’s very special,” Ezri remarks, looking down at her dress uniform. “And I get to wear this. I’m not a big fan of this design, you know.”
“I guess I could get Garak to sneak in a few suggestions.” laughs Julian, his smile as bright as the sun. “I’m sure he’d have a word or two.”
“Oh, come here,” invites Ezri, her arms open wide. Julian approaches her, and Ezri gives a small bounce before wrapping her arms around him. In some ways, Ezri is so, so old, and so, so young at the same time.
And Julian wouldn’t give their friendship for the world. His heart’s hammering when he thinks of the ceremony ahead, but having Ezri around calms his nerves.
“Congratulations.” Ezri whispers. “I figure you’ll be hearing that a lot today.”
“Well, seeing as how things are going, I suppose it’s already started.” says Julian, letting her go. Loosely holding onto her fingertips, he checks the analog clock sitting by the dresser.
“We should go,” Ezri reminds, following his gaze. She pulls him by the hand, leading him out of the room.
people who prefer other platforms have been dumping on facebook for abt a decade now (rightfully so) and while i agree, i miss old facebook and how people would mainly post personal blurbs there instead of jst endlessly sharing other people’s content. in like 2012 or something, i remember some girl a few classes behind me posted a status that said something to the effect of “watching cars 2… tired of all the fake bitches…” and I’m never going to forget it for the rest of my life bc of the implication that lightning mcqueen is a fake bitch. which he is, actually. pass it on.
a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?
“Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; / Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes; / Being vexed a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears. ~ William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
