Hi Guys..!

Guys I’d really like to be serious for a moment and talk about something important, I’ve been avoiding this topic for a while but it’s about time I talked about it. I’d like to know if you’d like to do voluntary donations to help me out, the artist behind the comics, I truly would love to keep this going together with you but I need a little push. For now if you’d like to contribute, I do have a ko-fi on which trough paypal you can send your donations, guys your donations there will be equal to the price of a coffee which for some may not be much, but for me it’d be GREAT help and would appreciate it so much. I’ll improve as an artist and keep bringing stories and characters to keep moving foward :’) Thanks for reading and… 

Do you want a Ko-fi? 💙   https://ko-fi.com/anzzuart

Honestly, if you don’t need a kitten stealing a pancake on your blog, it had better be because you already have a kitten stealing a pancake on your blog.

You hear a lot about tumblr posts being “ominous” but I am absolutely sure nothing will ever hold a candle to the raw dread this sequence of words has injected into the pit of my stomach.

As someone with multiple bilingual friends where English is not the first language, may I present to you a list of actual incidents I have witnessed:

  • Forgot a word in Spanish, while speaking Spanish to me, but remembered it in English. Became weirdly quiet as they seemed to lose their entire sense of identity.
  • Used a literal translation of a Russian idiomatic expression while speaking English. He actually does this quite regularly, because he somehow genuinely forgets which idioms belong to which language. It usually takes a minute of everyone staring at him in confused silence before he says “….Ah….. that must be a Russian one then….”
  • Had to count backwards for something. Could not count backwards in English. Counted backwards in French under her breath until she got to the number she needed, and then translated it into English.
  • Meant to inform her (French) parents that bread in America is baked with a lot of preservatives. Her brain was still halfway in English Mode so she used the word “préservatifes.” Ended up shocking her parents with the knowledge that apparently, bread in America is full of condoms.
  • Defined a slang term for me……. with another slang term. In the same language. Which I do not speak.
  • Was talking to both me and his mother in English when his mother had to revert to Russian to ask him a question about a word. He said “I don’t know” and turned to me and asked “Is there an English equivalent for Нумизматический?” and it took him a solid minute to realize there was no way I would be able to answer that. Meanwhile his mom quietly chuckled behind his back.
  • Said an expression in English but with Spanish grammar, which turned “How stressful!” into “What stressing!”

Bilingual characters are great but if you’re going to use a linguistic blunder, you have to really understand what they actually blunder over. And it’s usually 10x funnier than “Ooops it’s hard to switch back.”

My grandmother (a native German speaker) picked up the habit of saying the entirely made up phrase “hiya callit” which I’ve finally discovered means “how do you call it,” or more logically “what’s the word.”
