He is definitely hot! I’m not into his music or the Fast movies but I always enjoy seeing him in other things. It was awesome in the 2000s when he’d guest star on tv shows in a role; he mostly does reality tv stuff now appearing as himself.

The oscar winning one, not the one about sexy car crashes. You'll get over it, I'm sure.

He's pretty funny in the Fast and the Furious movies, at least the ones I've seen (I stopped watching after Paul Walker died, just didn't have the heart). Tej, his character, has some memorable lines when he's verbally sparring with Roman (Tyrese Gibson). You could probably look a few up on YouTube and just watch those. I also liked his State Farm commercial.

I only watched a bit of the show because my flatmate grew up near where some of it was filmed and wanted to see if he could recognize anything. I’m not really one for this sort of immersive mystery, but I did enjoy the visuals.

And I learned that it’s set in a fictional US state, which is sort of unusual and interesting, I think.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-01 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised the US could look like that. It looks like Canada.

And not just Southern US accents. There’s a clear tendency to over-use “unusual language markers” in fic. I see it for all kinds of accents, dialects, and linguistic idiosyncrasies (especially goddamn pet names).

Is there a term for this phenomenon? I guess it’s the same general thing that happens when a character eats something in canon and then subsists off only that thing in fanfic.

Absolute worst case I can think of: Scotty and Chekov in fanfic.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-01 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, people can overuse dialect in writing. A little goes a long way, and in most cases, I'd say that authors should just leave it alone. By all means, if someone is speaking with a French accent, then say that and write their dialogue normally. The reader can imagine how that sounds in their head, no need to torture them by trying to write it out phonetically.

volkameria: Rodney (SGA) fiddling with some electronic doodad (pic#rodney_whatdoesthisbuttondo)

[personal profile] volkameria 2025-06-01 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I tend to be more forgiving of this in fandom than in original canonical material for accents and dialects. I remember being a younger writer not sure how to make a character sound like themselves so would use the language marker as a crutch - especially if they only had one or two lines.

However, there's an officially published book I'm reading now where most of the characters are Scottish, and half the chapters their dialogue is written like "Ye' kin go a'er th'way, I cannae'" and the other half it's written like "You can go over that way, I cannot." and that is egregious.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-01 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that story kept going on and on and on, and the scary part never arrived. It was creepy at best.

I still need to see this musical because real talk, I saw fanart of the Frog Knight, and as a long-time fan of Frog from Chrono Trigger (my personal wonderful frog knight! <3), he's the reason I want to set aside some time to see it.

(Anonymous) 2025-06-01 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Bet it showed up on tvtropes or something. Someone either linked to your fic as using a trope, or you got a full on fanfic rec for it. Either way, go to tvtropes and search your fic name.

Anyone know what's happened to this person/people?

I'm not really involved in social media, so I used to use their posts a lot to track what was new and popular, but they haven't posted since the start of April.
