England: I would like to know the reason you miss meeting by meeting. America: well, my schedule (skɛʤʊl) is tight now. England: you meant schedule (ʃɛdjuːl). America: schedule. England: sche-dule. America: who told you it is correct? England: I did, and moreover, I taught you English yer shitty... America: so why do you say school (skuːl) like that? England: keeps the silence of confusion.
NOTE: both variants are good and useful, though I have been learning UK standard since school. so the American English is still specific to me.
Francis' mother very graceful and elegant woman. She was a very involving parent and took care of Francis, she was a great mom. However she had always mistook Francis for a girl, and still believes so until this day because when she died Francis was still a child and hadn't hit puberty yet. She dressed him up as a girl, taught him how to act feminine, and of course Francis was never taught otherwise so he believed it was normal. Francis' femininity never left him, and he still likes to be girly to this day (wearing dresses, bows, flowers, ribbons, etc.) Arthur still hasn't told him it's not normal. Francis was very much lady-like as a child, having the looks, voice and personality of a female. He was often mistaken for one, leading Francis to believe he was a woman himself. Eventually Arthur told him women don't have penises, and that he was a guy, not a girl. Francis didn't believe him until he hit puberty. Francis was unbelievably feminine that Arthur had trouble deciding whether or not he was actually a guy.
WHY IS THERE NOT MORE OF THIS?????
Francis is often seen hanging out with Ivan, and Ivan canonically follows him around like a baby duck until Francis acknowledges him (and he actually finds it cute so he lets Ivan follow him for a while). They're also on good terms in canon, Ivan sees him as a person worthy of getting advice from, and Ivan really admires his culture. I can just picture Ivan and Francis having coffee or breakfast together, or sightseeing together, and Ivan playing with Francis' hair and putting it into all sorts of hairstyles like braids, pigtails, etc and Francis makes flower crowns for him too. Francis acts like a big brother too so he would probably act all motherly towards Ivan as well and Ivan would get reminded of his big sister and iT'S ALL JUST SO ADORABLE
