OOC; A note on German

While he's spent most of his life in the US, Kurt is very much in touch with his German roots. To that end, he often scatters German words and phrases throughout his speech as he falls back on his native language, usually in times of stress or surprise, but sometimes just because he likes to do it.

Some common sayings of his include:

mein(e) Freund(in) = my friend *
danke schön = thank you
bitte = please
Gott im Himmel! = God in Heaven!
Entschuldigung! = Excuse me!
Unglaublich! = Incredible!

* Note: this is technically borderline incorrect for Kurt, since the use of "Freund" or "Freundin" is closer in meaning to "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" than a platonic friend. However, since he uses it so often in canon (and I get a lot of amusement from him referring to many of his friends as his boyfriend), I'm overlooking it for the sake of keeping his "voice" accurate.

I have a working knowledge of German, but I fully accept that I can and will get things wrong, so if you are a German speaker and you see me making a dumb mistake, please don't hesitate to give me a nudge about it!

DEERINGTON CR CHART // updated november 19 - a perpetual work in progress

LOGAN [ PARTNER ] "I'm better, because of you. No matter where you are. You make me better." I was a billion little pieces 'til you pulled me into focus. Astronomy in reverse, It was me who was discovered. [♬] [howlett]	WRENCH [ PARTNER ] "I want you." Like a river flows, surely to the sea Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be Take my hand, take my whole life too For I can't help falling in love with you [♬] [wwrench]	WYNONNA [ FRIEND ] "You were there, even when you didn't have to be." You told me once I have a rebel heart I don't know if that's true But I believe you saw something in me That lives inside you too [♬] [earps]

FERN [ FRIEND / PLANT SON ] "You really think I"m like family?" “You are enough” These little words, somehow they’re changing us “You are enough” So we let our shadows fall away like dust [♬] [laminae]	LOUIS [ FRIEND ] "That saying of blood is thicker than water is truer than people realise, huh?" If we're still alive My regrets are few If my life is mine What shouldn't I do? [♬] [teamfun]	JEAN-PAUL [ PARTNER ] "There's a lot of love here, too. Don't forget that." All is fair in love and war But there is something here that I just cannot ignore No I cannot ignore [♬] [speed_of_snark]

WANDA [ FRIEND ] "Complicated is one word for it." Her fight and fury is fiery Oh, but she loves Like sleep to the freezing Sweet and right and merciful, I'm all but washed In the tide of her breathing [♬] [magija]	WADE [ FRIEND ] "Ever see Anchorman? I'll be Paul Rudd and Will Ferrell. You're Christina Applegate." Glitter on the wet streets Silver over everything The glitter’s all wet You’re all chrome [♬] [4thwaller]	FRANK [ FRIEND ] "You got no reason to play nice with me." You're not that much like me You should know me better than that We have different enemies But you should know me better than that [♬] [castle]

LAURA [ FRIEND / DAUGHTER(?) ] "Stupid and brave. Too many of the adults here are like that." You’ve been fighting the memory All on your own Nothing worsens, nothing grows I know how it feels being by yourself in the rain We all need someone to stay [♬] [shoplifter]	WILL BYERS [ FRIEND / SMALL SON ] "It might be easier to be a frog. You just get to sit in a swamp and do... froggy things." I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else But in the end, the only steps that matter Are the ones you take all by yourself [♬] [deadboywalking]	VIRA-LORR [ FRIEND ] "Never let this place get too deep under your skin, hard as it might be." So you're beaten up but you bounce back It’s all part of the pull And the story runs like a soundtrack We repeat 'til we're full [♬] [onerthes]

GWEN POOLE [ FRIEND ] "Hey, I've never been bitten by a pixie before. Could cross that off my bucket list." Hey now, we made it somehow Still tryna make sense of this life we're livin' It bends us‚ plays games with us Just playin' our part in this neon circus [♬] [variantcover]	JOHN BLAKE [ FRIEND ] "I've found more'n a few reasons to look on the bright side."
