Going for Bilingual Bonus, I would assume.

It's nice when the author is bilingual and so are you, which I suppose is the ideal scenario.

[(Anonymous)]

So rare though that it comes across as obnoxious most of the time.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think it's that rare... But I guess it depends on the fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

Rare that the author is actually bilingual, or rare that the reader actually gets what they're going for?

I mean in fanfiction obviously a lot of the writing is just clumsy and unpolished so this too becomes a symptom of that, but it pops up in published fiction too. I could say I find the French in Lolita "gatuitous" but I feel this wouldn't be the case for someone who actually spoke French.

[(Anonymous)]

Both actually.

Sometimes the gratuitous level feels like an intentional part of the character. (Or very rarely the authors are seriously exploring something about bi-cultural characters, diaspora, etc.)
But mostly it comes across as the author wanting some ~exoticism~ or going "look at how smart I think I am".
