a sense of joy and then a panic

The hick dialects! I always used to read that in fanfiction, and I was like, where did THAT come from? Because it seemed so out of left field, although it definitely seemed to fit given they're country bumpkins. And the English version's dialogue is often just so uncreative that there's no room for that kind of linguistic personality. Now I can actually tell who's saying something just by how they say it, and there's a lot to be said for that.
