Listen, I am that person who threatens to fight people, then runs away. That's just my nature.

Rip Jackson

To be fair, Bec, it was your suggestion…lol

RIP Jackson…Whoever you are

This is Jackson

Yes, but still… poor guy. Although, my characters usually fare much worse because I'm the worst and made healing magic a thing. Yeah, it has its limits, but it's still really powerful.

RIP…poor child

Also Australian accent is not a thing
You will perfectly understand everything we're saying unless we're using Aussie slang

Are you referring specifically to the stereotypical "Australian accent" that Americans do? Because I hate it too…

Also Wisconsinites don't say 'Don't'cha know?'. Like ever. I only use it sarcastically or when singing this Christmas song that for some reason says 'Don't'cha know that it's Christmas' as the refrain.
And if I didn't talk about Wisco so much, I bet y'all would think I'm from the South because of my overuse of 'y'all'. Which I picked up from my softball coach who's from Texas. My friend almost got myself and two other friends beat up by Texans.

Ooooh, another fun fact. So I've noticed in the southern US, the more densely populated the city, the less of a southern accent there is.

I'm a little curious, actually.

THE STEREOTYPICAL AUSTRALIAN ACCENT DON'T EXIST
(Only if you go in the out-out-out-outback)

So it's sort of the equivalent to the accent someone in the southern US who lives in a town with a population of 10? Doesn't really exist, but people make fun of it and generalize it to the population as a whole?

So we were at Global Finals, and me, him, and 2 other teammates/friends were walking back to go to the Opening Ceremony. We pass a group of Texans, and my friend, whom I'll call Ryan, is pretty much your stereotypical theare kid. He starts chanting "Texas! Texas! Texas!" as we walk by and they wave back. Keep in mind that Ryan is quite small, he's like my height and under my weight, and yells as a joke "I HATE TEXAS!" because he's like that. And we knew it was a joke, but they didn't and also looked EXTREMELY pissed off, so I ran for my hecking LIFE to Thomsan-Boling while I yelled at him about it. It was terrifying then, but a bit funny now.

Canadians do say sorry a lot and we are generally polite but there are mean people obviously…and we do say eh my friend always makes fun of me cause she isn't Canadian BUT its not used after random sentences its more for like rhetorical questions and stuff or as a replacement for the word right for example:
I know eh
The weathers really warm eh?
And its not used as much as people think just once in a while

Ah…yes
Guess your friend still haven't forgotten it…with your help

Okay, in War and Peace, Anatole Kuragin overuses 'eh' so much! He adds it to like every sentence in the book!!
Yes I'm reading War and Peace. I'm almost halfway through but I haven't read it since June.

And Australians hate "shrimp on the barbie"
Just don't say it

Oof that would annoy me so much haha
