For the languages it’s not so much “haha I forgot to switch back” because from what I’ve read that doesn’t really happen, it’s like you’ve said– they’re thinking in a language, or something makes sense in one language more than another….or the forget a word in English and Kevin’s like “the…la bibliothèque. La bibliothèque!!! The place!!! 図書館!! La bibliothèque!
And accents are a weird thing bc they stick around YEAH LIKE THAT at least in my experience??? I always get accent hangover.
Also consider: Aaron and Andrew learned German from an American high school + Nicky’s conversations so they’ve probably got some…unique ways of pronouncing and phrasing things. Erik has to bite his tongue to keep from laughing at them, they’re trying to be so angry and intimidating but their accents are adorable
addition bc i grew up in a bilingual household and i am also bilingual:
andrew’s squad constantly walks into practice and says hello in a different language. sometimes neil and kevin forget that not everyone can understand french so they’ll turn to andrew while they’re arguing and he’s just like ??? neil wakes up and thinks in a different language on his run and then greets matt in it, who drops his coffee every time neil reveals ANOTHER language he speaks.
when neil and andrew start learning russian, they speak it around others just to fuck with them, but eventually they just use it interspersed with english and their teams are just. very confused.
BONUS: one time both neil AND kevin forget how to say a word in english so they text jean who doesn’t respond, and then halfway through practice kevin shouts out “GRAPEFRUIT!”, which makes neil scream/groan in sudden realization, and the freshman scream because they’re suddenly worried that perhaps KEVIN DAY has become unhinged. nicky tries to learn french, but all the articles are screwing with him, and after saying “im horny to see the prostitute” (je suis excité pour voir fille) he gives up.
“Hey,”
Kevin says as soon as Neil picks up, “are you home this weekend?”
Neil
glances at the calendar tacked to the kitchen wall. The two cases are colored
gray but empty.
“Sure,” he
says. “Why?”
There’s
shuffling on the other side of the phone. Kevin sounds distracted, his
inability to concentrate on two things at once evident. “We were driving to
Thea’s parents’,” he says, “but her father’s in the hospital.”
The
coffeemaker beeps when it’s done, and Neil pours himself a mug. He’ll need it,
if he wants to follow Kevin’s complicated conclusions.
we all talk about the foxes having social media like twitter or IG because thats like peak celebrity shit but why dont we talk about the foxes with tumblr accounts.
Nicky’s blog is full of bottom memes and he rants in the tags and keysmashes. Allison’s filled with selfies and screenshots of ppl that thrist followed her and sent her dms and she doesnt even censor their urls. Renee’s all pastel and filled with asks of people asking for life advice because she’s always so nice to everyone. Matt’s one is all about music/sports and selfies with Dan, he reblogs her selfies with an all caps caption most of the time. Dan’s mostly a liveblog of events that happen in the fox tower, she has videos and pics of her teammates no one knew existed until they see it on her blog. Aaron is pretty much like everyone’s, selfies with Katelyn, aesthetic shit, book quotes, but he has a lot of posts (some readmores)… the guy wont stop complaining about everything, then he tags said shit as “dont read”
Kevin barely says a word on his exy-filled blog, he’s a phantom, a reblog machine. He gets asks though, and he gives a fucking long ass reply every time, threatens whoever sent it to read all of it. Neil and Andrew post every once in a while, and they’re the ones that get more anon hate for some reason. Neil replies to every single one with something even more clever, maybe someday he just says “the FBI can give me your IP address and you’ll be doxxed” and he suddenly doesnt get a single anon. Andrew after getting so many he replies to just one. “I know who you are” the messages stop right after that. Does he really know? i dont know, but the anon is terrified
