I'm torn. When I'm an English-native hamster bastardizing French and German to flirt with another English-native bunny who does have some small background in each language, but her heritage is French, how should I refer to her in regards to capitalization

well, i think you got it right, but really, you could have phrased that many ways. technically the francoise should have gone before lapine, but who cares when you are bringing two languages together?

it gets really hard when i end up mixing french, german, and italian. it sounds really funny.

and good luck! have fun and be safe!
