Maybe? It depends on what the context is. A child who hasn't learned proper grammar yet? Sure. Just make sure you make actual mistakes a kid would make, by studying language development in kids. For writing dialects and accents? Eh, maybe. But you really have to be careful to be respectful, correct, and still readable. And most people can't do it right, from my experience reading.
(AAVE?)
Haven't watched but it is related to some conversation.
Yep, Red's pretty great isn't she?
She's awesome.
She's also the reason I can say "I have a constitution to delicate for math."

African American Vernacular English, which is really often (offensively) misconstrued by white writers.
Thx.
Psychopaths that as So Evil!!!1!
^Any time that stuff like mental health is used to make someone Extra Evil
Same with characters' genders or sexualities being used to make them Extra Evil, which is a Thing in a lot of older movies where the villain will be a transgender woman and the only queer character in the movie
I wouldn't mind seeing an ADHD villain though. Might be interesting.
That could work, simply because there’s no misconception that ADHD=evil
Also ADHD heroes exist so
I would sympathize with the villain so much though Lol.
In my opinion (and I know that others share this opinion with me) that's what makes a great villain; I love villains that I can relate to!
My stance on that sort of stuff is just as long as that isn't the reason the villain is seen as evil, then whatever. Like if your villain is gay, cool, just don't make them gay because they're the villain and "gAyZ aRe EvIL!1!". So
Immortal characters that have spent their entire lives constantly learning or being super productive, like come on dude you’ve got a couple thousand years you can go play bingo, get a dog, take a spa day, rob your childhood enemies’ graves under the excuse of archeology, whatever you want, there’s nothing stopping you. Give your immortals some hobbies goshdammit

This was one of the very many issues that I had with Twilight. Like, Edward and all his siblings are just repeating the same few years of high school over and over again. Like what????? They literally could have just stayed home and done whatever they want and say they were being homeschooled.

All he did was learn piano
Like
My guy
You're immortal and you don't sleep
So you learn piano??
At least learn all the other instruments and write your own music
Do something with that anaphase
Literally he could've done so much. He could've been like Carlisle who was a fucking doctor but no he's just a wimp who only plays piano
Yea man, characters with legit infinite lifespan and/or no need for basic human needs who dont exploit the basically infinite possibilities they have ahead. Like, what on earth r u doing with ur life man??? Just lying in bed and looking at the walls??
so damn frustrating yvy
ngl, immortal characters seem more ok if they are the kind that have tried everything and just grew bored of it - hecc, it feels realistic.
Dang if I was a vampire I would actually finish projects and stuff.
I would try everything that mortality stops me from.

On one hand, I agree with y'all, but on the other hand this is exactly what I did during all of quarantine lol
Tbh I'd like to see a thousand year old immortal creature who has things they need/want to do with their time and puts them off for centuries.
Okay but vampires who periodically get back into the most random shit. Like for a few weeks they just get super into calligraphy or something, followed by a bout of binging everything on Netflix and doing nothing all day. And they end up being mediocre at a bunch of things.
