A shameful cat.
now that emily so kindly told me thta the actor who plays bail organa is puerto rican, i cant stop thinking about the differences in poe and leia’s space spanish bc puerto rican dialect is different from guatemalan so space puerto rican spanish is gonna be different than space guatemalan spanish or there are gonna be words that are the same word but mean something totally different depending on where you’re from
like example: in puerto rico arroz con culo is slang for something that causes trouble/a debacle and in guatemala meterse en camisa de once varas means getting into trouble and they’re both really different
also yesterday my friend (who’s puerto rican) was talking about this colombian friend of hers who used to say estoy mamado which in colombia just means you’re exhausted but in puerto rico mamarse is literally slang for getting your dick sucked/getting eaten out and im living for the moment when leia says something that’s totally innocent in space puerto rican spanish and is completely filthy in space guatemalan spanish and poe’s face
Anonymous asked:
I have a character who sees portals (which are real) opening around him, portals to another world. The story takes place in our world, so no one believes they're real when he mentions them. My best guess is that this would be perceived as either schizophrenia or delusional disorder, but I'm not sure which. I'm leaning towards delusional disorder since his behavior isn't really affected by it (except he wants to get proof so his boyfriend will believe him). Does that "diagnosis" sound right?
scriptshrink answered:
This depends on the answer to two questions:
Can your character see these portals, or does he just “know” they exist?
If your character says he can see the portals, that’d be diagnosed as a hallucination, which means your character can’t be diagnosed with delusional disorder.
If he only believes the portals are there, and has never seen them, that’d be delusional disorder.
How long has your character been showing symptoms?
If your character has been showing symptoms for more than 1 day but less than 1 month, he’d be diagnosed with Brief Psychotic Disorder (see the criteria here).
If your character has been showing symptoms for more than 1 month but less than 6 months, he’d be diagnosed with Schizophreniform Disorder (see here).
If your character has been showing symptoms for at least 6 months AND these symptoms cause a decrease in how well he can function in school, work, social interactions, self-care, etc., he’d be diagnosed with Schizophrenia (see here).
