It always felt a bit forced to me, even if you read it as the appropiate spanish dialect (didn't know it was supposed to be gallego however). Don't get me wrong, it's an extremely minor nitpick and I love Paz, I just took it as a little bit stereotyped, yet not offensive or anything. I'm from South America but most of my family came from Spain. Honest mistake or in purpose, I really don't have a problem with it. (my english can sound pretty silly, too)

^^^^ Urgh, that's not what I meant at all. It doesn't come off as "unrefined", just a bit unauthentic. ^^^^ (to clarify, I wasn't saying that it sounds too uneducated or rough, but rather the opposite) Look, I didn't intend to cause a derail so I'm sorry. It's a really minor detail anyway. quote:Huh? I only found one mistake in all the dialogue Tom has written for Paz. I'm from South America too - Argentina, to be precise - and I'm actually amazed at how well written Paz's dialogue is, considering she's just a secondary character. The grammar is fine, I mostly meant the tone was (just a bit) "forced" in that you can tell when it's written by a non-native speaker. It also isn't how a gallego "hick" would talk since that's more akin to portuguese. To give a comparison, some of the dialog was maybe -too- proper, like if I exclaimed "oh, it is a balloon" in english (just an example, the actual balloon line was fine); that's what I meant by "forced". It is still very good despite that however, way better than what most movies/television portray as spanish/latino. Again, it was just a very minor spergy nitpick, so apologies for that.

This explains everything. Annie and Smitty were running from Beartato and Kat's love letter was from Reginald.

Maybe that's just one of Smitty's marbles. "Did it look like this one?" "NO IT DIDN'T! *rrRrrRARRrARAAAAAaaaaauUuUuUUUrrGGH*" ~a group of offended chickcharneys chases them furiously~

quote:What if he's running from everyone that wants a marble. Yeah, the most likely explanation is that they were running from a mob of animals asking smitty to find stuff from them. Which would explain why Annie was just laffin' it off. When I first saw the deer head my first thought was this guy:

Obviously Friday's comic will explain everything about the love letter and not leave us hanging 'til next week. That is so obviously what will happen, you have no idea.

Know what, either outcome could be OK. It's probably the robot and this is likely a fakeout, but I was all like "You idiot loving shippers, it obviously isn't Paz!" and being proven wrong would actually feel pretty nice this time . If prepaid visas were a thing in my country I'd be buying that Paz avatar right now!

^^^ Aren't they just poking fun at that chibisoma rant? ^^^ Wait, re-reading this one got me a little confused. When is this happening, exactly? Is it before or after they meet in the dining hall and Annie tells Kat what she was doing? (because Kat said there that she just had a guess at who was the author of the letter). Did Annie return from the forest, meet with Kat for lunch, then return to Parley and Smits while Kat went off to do her thing?

I think Paz knew about Bobby's feelings (heh, yeah, like robots even have feelings) but felt it was best if Kat herself told him off. But really, either interpretation would be OK.

quote:And it'd probably be a mostly futile attempt, in any case. These folks want to believe. Yeah, sadly if there's something that defines shipping (besides being deeply stupid) is that they'll "ship" everyone and everything despite what the source material says just because they really really want to imagine said characters loving. Age, gender preferences or even being from different media doesn't factor at all.
