There're blimps and radios. Planes, bolt action rifles. [ . . . ] I don't know what dw means but I know a lot of Earth's future uses intials for words. And emo gees.
Holy crap. Okay. dw means don't worry and it's actually spelled emojis. With or without the S tbh, I've seen it typed both ways and I don't even know which version's actually correct. But I think it's already plural?
Wow omg (oh my god). Right out the gate you hit me with an acronym. I am so proud of you.
(HUMBLED AS FUCK.)
A zeppelin's a bigger blimp right? The ones with all the hydrogen gas in them?
If you ever get back to your world tell them hydrogen gas is combustible/explosive... the people need to know. There was this huge disaster back home where the whole thing blew up and crashed bc (because) of electrostatic. Pretty insane.
[ but jonas, christ. that's horrible and at the same time sweet and eren just has to quietly tap his thumb on the watch. there's no one to warn if he goes back, but the last thought there had been surprisingly caring. ]
I don't think I will anymore, but thanks. Your home was at war?
[ for all eren knew, zeppelins were airships for, hmm, that. the rich folk of marley would have the nice leisure blimps and— i can't tell them apart but there's apparently a difference. ]
Oh, well, welcome to textspeak 101. Everything new feels weird but I'm the best teacher bc (because, again) I use them 24/7 (all the time). You'll be a pro in no time.
(eren hanks, everyone. jonas smiles in hopes that his advice is being taken, because at least there's that. zeppelins are off!!! limits!!!)
And I wouldn't say my home, or specifically where I live, is at war right now... but it has been. Several times in the last century, actually. We can't go without one for long. It's pretty horrible to see the lives affected by stuff like that.
Itβs in our nature. [ at leastβ ] Most. Not all.
[ not everyone thought about stabbing their enemies first. maybe the more uncouth and desperate, or the more exposed, but there were still good people out there that would try and take the peaceful way at all costs. eren doesnβt know if thatβs good or not, and keeps it to himself.
it would work if everyone was on the same page, but they never are. heβs aware that he brought up war in the first placeβ maybe just a gut reaction, always more tense than someone who grew up knowing you can go to the supermarket with no problems. letβs try and think better things. ]
That's a discouraging thought lol, ia (I agree) though. Pretty hard to say it's not when wars start up every 50-100 years.
(he has far fonder impressions of his home, however, which is a nice change of topic.)
My home's a place called Oregon. It's a state inside a country called the United States of America. I live on the coast of the Pacific Ocean and it's beautiful tbh (to be honest). I really liked it there. I didn't think I could live anywhere that wasn't in Oregon, but here we are haha. In fantasyland.
My favourite part's its hills. And I mean big suckers that almost look like mountains and there's some mountains up north. I'd hike all the time out there and stuff. I wish I had pictures I could show you.
Iβm learning an entire book with you at this rate. [ seriously, the effort is nice, fucking jonas. ] You donβt need to repeat yourself, Iβm writing things down.
Well, you'd better start writing all these down in your diary quicker, chop chop.π
Define "free country"... bc we'd definitely say that we are since our slogan is "land of the free, home of the brave". Even if there's a lot of stuff wrong with America. Like any country, ig.
LOL I am so proud of you. Excellent use of emoji.π²π₯
But if you put it that way, then no. Oppression exists against other races, against the poor, against p much anything "different". Kinda brutal. It's definitely a better place to live than some, but America's not winning any awards.
Yeah, if you have to say it all the time it's probably not actually true........
That p much means fuck you, yeah. It's a middle finger, so it has the same effect as sticking your middle finger up at somebody. It's a pretty universal way of telling someone you hate them or what they're saying.
[ itβs a good thing that this was just how eren and jean used to say they loved each other so this is cool. two can play at that gameβ! thanks for reminding him that heβs still 20, jonas. ]

Hearing about it is good enough. We have a mountain region where Iβm from too, the view is almost aerial. Is America a free country?

Thatβs bold for a country to claim. [ he likes it but at the same time doesnβt trust it. ] Do people coexist peacefully? No powers, no oppression?
