#WordWeavers May 5. Describe the way your antagonist speaks.

The Lavishiers have adopted a heavily vaudevillian sort of "French" accented English with extra words borrowed from other languages...

Think if robots from the future wanted to perform theatre of what they thought Americans with no theatre experience would do with a French accent (plus had AI randomly throw in words from Mandarin, Nigerian, and Gaelic, etc).

From Miss Squeaky's Lexicon of Idioms
Go Down the Rabbit Hole
Originally meant: To enter a bizarre or complex journey.
Modern reality:

“I just wanted to look up one word on Etymonline. Next thing I knew, I had 37 tabs open, I knew the ancient root of kneecap, and was considering a minor in Old Norse.”

By the time I emerged, my tea was cold, my parrot had learned Latin, and I no longer remembered what I was doing in the first place.

Happy #EarthDay! To celebrate, here’s our video about the Food Web, and how it’s a better model for ecosystems than the food chain. We made it for our friend the @RvingNaturalist’s channel, and she has a lot more videos there about nature and ecology that you should check out! youtu.be/OxKvcA4NpaQ
