DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER! Nor any characters and/or themes and/or ANY published work that this story may make references to. Yeah...I think that about covers it! :) Tell me if this little bit *thinks to self: What's that word? That big word... INTRIGUES!* Yeah so tell me if this little bit intrigues your mid. :)
"Four Benders of power's decent,
A man who won't stop until his heart is content,
Four Benders fierce and strong,
A man who is trusted, one who does no wrong,
The most powerful in several years,
He shows no mercy, sheds no tears,
One of Fire and one of Air,
A man who Lies and claims to care,
One of Water and one of Earth,
Destined for evil since the day of his birth,
Determine the fate of the world at hand,
He will not stop to control all land,
Must master their elements and the power they hold,
He will conquer and slay as it is told.
Born with the marks of an Avatar's children,
Born with a destiny and a legend,
With all these burdens they will fight,
Years of training and all their might,
They will march into battle, heads held high,
In the end the world will live or die."
Guide to Mai Lee's Form of Speech
Mai Lee is sort of based on me. She's a ghetto Puerto Rican who definitely talks ghetto. I tried to make her talk as Hispanic and street as I could without making it too street that you wouldn't understand it. My dear readers don't get confused! This is a guide to her speech. (Oh and I know that Mai Lee is an Asian name but I liked it a lot and made it this character's name even though she's not Asian.)
Like many Puerto Ricans, when Mai Lee says things that start with a Y, she makes it sound like a J or a "ch" sound because that's what it is in Spanish. So when she talks:
Ju=You
Jur=You're/Your
Chu=You
Chur=You're/Your
Juddont=You don't
Jurself=Yourself
Sometimes she'll say "Yo" or "yoself" in which obviously means "you" and "yourself." (If she's not using yo in that particular context, then it's just the normal meaning of "Yo.")
Mai Lee often makes "th" sound like a "d" sound:
Dat=That
Da=The
Dis=This
Sometimes she will say "Den" which means "then"
Sometimes she will say "Dey" which means "They"
Sometimes she will say "Der" which means "There, Their, or They're"
Mai Lee often cuts off letters or syllables in words:
Wit=With
Tryin=Trying
Bein=Being
Goin=Going (I think you get the jist.)
Off-a=Off of
Actually…I basically spell things almost exactly as I/she would pronounce them:
Mah=My
Mahself=Myself
Tah (Pronounced "Tuh")=To
Sometimes she'll say "intah" or "tahgether" which means "into" and "together"
Mai Lee tends to add syllables or things to words that make phrases and words all her own. (Lol and I put in phrases that my friends and I actually use. J Yes we are weird people.) :
Fa-reakin=Freaking
Confuzzle-manuzzle=confuse
Agimatating=Agitating
Trippi-lippin=Trippin'
Crusty=Annoying, stupid, weird. (Ex: "Ju are bein mad crusty right now." or "You are being really annoying/stupid/weird right now." Ex:"Dat's crusty." or "That's annoying/stupid/weird." It all depends on what's going on in the story, I guess. )
Ohmahhgosh=Oh my gosh
Oh my geesh!=Oh my gosh (Yes I know that's a weird one. My friend made it up. My friend made up "crusty" too.)
Yeahh OHkay=Adds more emphasis to the "oh" in "okay." (I think you get the jist.)
Now for, I guess, "Street Slang." Btw most of you already know the meanings of these words, but for those who don't, here are the meanings! (NOTE: Some of these words may or may not be used like this where you are from, but they are used like this where I am from.)
Dumb=An adjective that means "very/really." (Ex:"That is dumb nasty" or "That is very gross." Ex: "You're being dumb quiet." or "You are being really quiet.")
Mad=An adjective that usually means "a lot" but can also mean "very/really." (Ex: "There was mad people there yo!" or "There were a lot of people there!" Ex: "You are mad weird, dude." or "You are very weird, dude.")
Trippin=Messing up. Fooling yourself. Lying to yourself. Annoying/weird/stupid
Buggin=Basically the same as trippin.
Creamy=Cool, sick, hot (Ex: "Yo, I am lookin mad creamy right now!" or "Yo, I am looking really hot right now.")
Dope/Chill/Ill=Everybody should know what these mean! But in case juddont, it means cool, sick, hot.
