the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function
Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?
Japanese: Samui desu ne?
British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?
i have to do everything around here
i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.
my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.
me: ok. i guess i get that??
this post: its like saying “innit?”
me: oh. oh no.
fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".
It's LITERALLY "innit".
oh so like "eh" in canadian
*un-Babels your Tower*
Yeah, as a Canadian learning Japanese, “neh” is one linguistic building block I had no issues integrating.
It’s literally just “eh?” with a leading consonant.

Can't believe we got the opposite of "just this once, everybody lives" in the form of "just this once everybody dies because they're fucking racists"
My friend (who I forced to watch Succession with me, very much against her will) very much wants to live in the alternate universe where this post is about Succession.

The fact that Will was manipulating them
Will Graham and the curse of competence:
Engages the assistance of three (3) different serial killers to kill this dude.
Ultimately still has to do it himself.

On the one hand, I would definitely fuck Stewy. No question.
On the other hand…
SO CLOSE. 💔
…but at least I didn’t get Greg.
Will Graham somehow has worse therapist-selection instincts than I do.
I am the dragon, and you call me insane?
No, dude; I called you boring.

Anonymous asked:
do you think the age difference between Will and Hannibal is too big?
perhaps there are issues between the two of them that may be of greater importance, like the murder and maybe cannibalism
Fandom either die or live long enough to see first season age gap discourse asked again
The real metric to look at is body count.

I took a sip of water at the beginning of this, and then proceeded to laugh so hard that I narrowly avoided aspirating said water into my own lungs.
