the most unrealistic thing about tfc????? five main characters speak at least two languages and none of them ever forgot a word in one of them. are u telling me, an offended bilingual, that neil josten never forgot the word for sock in french? “like…a fucking glove for your foot, kevin.” are u telling me nicky hemmick didn’t once forget how to say lawyer in german so he said “i need to pay a bitch to fight for me.” are u telling me neil josten never meant to tell andrew minyard after a good game “it gives me goosebumps to watch you play like that” but didn’t know the right way to say it in russian so said instead “it physically ails me to see you do that” which is…………….not nearly as romantic. is that what you’re saying.

Ok but sometimes you forget words in your mother tongue as well and can only remember them in one of the other languages, so just imagine Neil forgetting the simplest English word but knowing it both in French and German and being utterly frustrated cause whoever he’s talking too doesn’t understand him and Andrew isn’t cooperating in helping him translate. Also Kevin half-yelling at one of the new recruits but then stopping abruptly in the middle of a sentence cause he can’t find the right word in the right language and the new recruit is terrified by Kevin just staring at him more and more angrily with each second that passes.
