Three observations:


1. It's a funny trope that Teodor, a grown adult, is constantly in a panic state of "rent due, must think of something".

2. His parachute shorts apparently qualify as his fancy clothes

3. Calling it now that nothing with Tina will end well


e:

"Coming up soon in the In-Universe tier: the first of two childhood holiday stories from Nice Pete, detailing a heart-warming coming of age."

Oh god these are the BEST.

I have multiple friends who are guilty of this, whether by laziness or by poor impulse control. Its almost as if “adult” has nothing to do with physical age

ngl tho, when you (metaphorically) need to bury a body, you can always count on the clusterfuck friends to be the first to show up with a shovel.

this is the real sin of Teodor

I just realized that Teodor and Tina have already interacted by proxy.

It's going to be awkward if she realizes he was the voice that accepted the offer of a Commodore.

"I.. my preference in the bed. Yes.. always. It is my way".

She only got to hear the leaf-blower from Cornelius.

Yeah, it's ignorance on my part but the accent is something I have no context for, and I'm also not familiar with whatever reason would make the o sound like a uh :shrug:

It's gonna take a long time for me to get the habit of pronouncing it the wrong way out of my head.

It's just that the emphasis is on the syllable before it, so the unemphasized vowel weakens toward the ə sound, like in "dragon" or the second o in "bottom."

At any rate I think we can agree that while Achewood is a celebration of the English language, written English is not good at conveying pronunciation. And people pronounce their own names however they please anyway. My first name isn’t spelled anything like THE MIRACLE but that’s how I say it.
