Title: Accents.
Post by: Somebody on October 14, 2018, 09:36:17 PM

In chat, I always picture certain people with weird accents, and I just wanted to start a topic where you post the accent you always thought the above person had or imagined them having. Ill start this off with a perfect example: I always think of Virmir as having a British accent for some reason. Don't  know why, but the phrases he uses just make me think,"Yup. Definitely British."

I'm not sure if I envy the people who hear lines in the characters' voices or if I'm glad I don't! I don't even know what Kieli would sound like! But that is interesting, Virmir with a British accent...  [:O

Probably because phrases like  "Bast," "Trees," and "Hate it when that happens" sound a lot more natural in a British accent for some reason. I dunno. But the way people type is like online paralanguage, putting your style apart from others that make you sorta "hear"  accents despite not hearing anything.

Using those terms makes writing dialogue for Virmir in crossover comics so much more effective! All you need then is the attitude!
