[OOC] We Are the Crystal Gems

@HaltingBlooper

I have found Kurdish Emerald.

"IS THAT NICE!? DOING THIS TO ME MORNING EVERY MORNING!?"

@Loony Lulz the bit regarding American drivers was true enough to make me a little embarrassed. In some cities they won't even yell at you to go across. One time in NYC, stupid country bumpkin tourist that I was, I tried to cross the road at the last minute. Never do that in New York, the cars will start coming as soon as the sign changes and you just have to stand still and pray they're all able to go around you.

That guy is pretty funny, I like that Kurdish Vines is a thing.

Also the little dog in that car reminds me of my dad's dog.

@21308

It was actually the first car that was the American one, the second one was the Kurdish scenario. XD I swear I didn't even feel safe on the sidewalks. And the police are just like...

*Sees twenty kids shoved into a four-seat car*

*There aren't even seatbelts in the car to bother wearing them*

*The driver is probably 12*

*Shrugs*

It's quite the sight. :P

I always joked that it's a good thing that alcohol is hard to find in Kurdistan because otherwise we'd be reenacting Harry Potter, flying cars and all.

Well, of course they're a thing, I've always been aware they're a thing, it's just not a thing that really like...Stood out to me until now.XD

[21308]

@Loony Huh? So Americans are the polite ones? I just assumed that was Canada, because Canada. The third was honestly an okay contender for America too. I'm flattered and yet I somehow wonder where on Earth he got that idea about us... I mean, in some towns people are like that, but the farther you go into the city the luckier you are if people will politely not mow you down. And I think I'd love Kurdish cops, oh man. I suppose it really is good that alcohol is hard to come by there if that's how they are though... 0_0

Also, just a heads up since you follow me, I've kind of been losing my mind on Tumblr recently. I'm sorry for clogging up your dash with weird stuff.

[Loony]

@21308 Not so much polite but more like not prone to yelling over the tiniest things, because (and this is Kurdish Bias speaking here) I think Kurds are way more polite and respectful than Canadians and presumably Americans, it's just that we're not as well-tempered. XD. Because I think that, tied with Arabs and Punjabis, we stereotype or not, do tend to have pretty bad tempers. The shoe thing is a very middle eastern stereotype and I'm sorry to say that it's sorta true. XD

And that man actually lives in America; his name is Shlovan, not sure where in America he lives though. All his American sides are said in English while the Kurdish sides are said in Kurdish; you may have not picked it up because of the accent. ^ ^"

And you have no idea, the cops are awful. Actually awful.

Also, I tend to go on Tumblr in 'bursts' so to speak so I've yet to notice, no worries. XD

Aquamarine putting the newborns to bed versus Bloodstone (on a bad day) trying to get Reggie and Eve to

Sodalite trying to (and failing to) teach others a new language.

[21308]

@Loony Lol I wonder what part of America. I'll say that things can be very different depending on where you go. But yeah, it kind of makes sense when you put it that way. I'm still a little surprised that Canada wasn't the most polite one, that's like the first time I've ever seen someone subvert the 'all Canadians are polite' joke. I just sort of assumed the last one was Kurdistan by default because if you were to go the full-on hyperbole route with America, that should have been a shotgun, and he should have been holding a burger in his other hand. I like your way of describing it though.

Yeah I pretty much only go on Tumblr in bursts too, and I just sort of completed my most recent one. I spammed all of my followers with butter.

[Loony]

I don't know how true this is for Americans, but I'll tell you right now the Kurdish part is true enough.

[pyroman]

@LoonyThat would definately be Soda

How I imagine Aqua putting them to bed "Goodnight my gems, even though we don't really need sleep, I hope that you sleep well! Another day is another adventure! etc."

Bloodstone "Yeah, so Reggie you need to sleep because for some reason that's a flaw in Human biology. Eve, you can as well if you'd like, but there's literally no reason for you to do so. I'll be here just being the good guy on the other team who is a little bit of an extremist."

[Loony]

@21308 Just like Canada, very different where you go. I've been in Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec, and I'll say right now I liked Alberta better than the other two places for sure. I have very mixed feelings about Quebec because though I understand why they are the way they are and I can relate to some of the crap they've been through it's also hard to feel supportive of them when you're one of the groups (immigrant and muslim) that they aren't too fond of. And Ontarians think they're the center of the universe or something. Honestly, I don't think Canadians are all that polite, but then again Kurds are pretty big on the whole respect thing and though my Canadian friends see me as really polite I'm seen as sort of rude by my Kurdish peers. ^ ^" And thanks.

I just saw the butter thing. That was a special. XD

[Loony]

@pyroman The guy even tells her in Kurdish to, along the lines of; 'keep reading on it and you'll learn alright okay'. I was just like, that's such a stereotypically Sodalite response though. XD

Except Bloodstone has also been shown to enjoy sleeping just as he does eating, so clearly he sees some sort of benefit to it. The dad in the video was threatening the daughter to get her to sleep. XD

[pyroman]

@LoonySodalite sporadically motions with her hands as she speaks. "Just keep doing... that thing you're doing, you'll get it."

[Loony]

@pyroman

*Slightly embarrassed giggling fit* "But I can't say it, I swear!"

"Weeeaaaaaak."

[pyroman]

Sodalite having language phases and language swings XD

[Loony]

@pyroman

Gilles insisting that Sodalite only speak French with him as it's his mother's tongue. They tell each other stupid jokes and dumb comments they otherwise couldn't get away with and since no one else understands it drives them crazy.

[Raijinslayer]

@LoonyMars: "You two better start speaking normal(doesn't get the concept of other languages yet) or I'm going to start kicking ass. It's getting on my nerves." *cracks knuckles menacingly*

[pyroman]

@LoonyAssorted people and gems "Sodalite, it's just a phase." "Den eínai mia fási̱! Eínai énas trópos zo̱í̱s!"

[21308]

@Loony I guess you'd know how Canadians are better than me. Is it like many places that are highly regarded as being polite, which is that they're really just as bad as everyone else but less up front about it? Sorry it sounds like you had to deal with crappy stuff in Quebec, I thought they were cool. So is Ontario like Canada's Texas, or their New York, maybe?

Lol I like just discovered how many different things can be made into butter.

[Loony]

@Raijinslayer

*In a mockingly scared voice* "Oh non j'ai tellement peur, je vas tomber dans les pommes~!" *Laughs like an idiot*

[pyroman]

Sodalite laughs along. "Il est trop effrayant! Je tremble dans mes gants!"
