There have been a lot of days recently where I'm scrolling through GG tags/feeds and it just isn't fun. I'm too involved, I think; I need to find some other way to distract myself when I'm bored before I explode

#textpost #It's been on a decline since they added Bridget and since Elphelt I've reached some kind of apathy maximum #Idk what the purpose of this post really is because it's not working towards fixing anything I'm complaining about #I kind of just want to complain rofl #This entire winter's just been absolutely miserable #We had like a record for longest amount of total cloud cover ever. So much shit's going on with family and stuff irl #I have zero energy/motivation all of the time and then I hop on social media and it's even more complaining and high school level drama #I haven't worked on a translation or anything since I finished GGCA 15 and I don't have any real desire to #Just.... Ughhhh..... UUUUGHHHHHHHH #What's that meme of the guy kinda leaning forward and walking into a cloud of light? 'Peace out'? #I need to do that. Get outta here. Go do literally anything else

anyway in an absolutely wild turn of events I think I’m free of my hideous job and like. substantially richer for it??? lmao 2023 you really owed me

#ok so this a lot of personal shit but I’m just gonna incredulously vent into the tags #like I don’t even know how to describe what 2023 in this job has been like lol #since April they’ve been insulting and scrutinising and scapegoating me over absolutely everything #they were really angling for just firing me outright for never measuring up to their constantly shifting and increasingly bizarre goalposts #and it got so personal man they kept insisting that it wasn’t but my god #then my dad gets sick and it suddenly becomes awkward for them to keep insulting and overworking me #so they switch to just ignoring me entirely so they don’t have to reckon w what me and my family are going through #like they never ask how he is or how things are going just every Friday they say hey do you reckon you can take more work on again? #and THEN I get a gut infection and suddenly im being guilt tripped for taking sick leave and pestered for evidence #it was giving like ‘we had to give you time off for your dad but now you’re taking the piss’ #to the point I DID reach out to a third party at the company and was like ‘I’m sorry but why the fuck are they treating me like this’ #and she was like ‘confidentially this is disgusting and I advise you to report it’ #WHEN SUDDENLY I get back from sick leave and it’s like ‘the business is falling short so we have to make some redundancies….’ #and now they’ve had to pay me a SUBSTANTIAL sum to fuck off!!! I think I win??? #like I was so close to quitting but thank god I didn’t because now I’m getting a sweet deal to fuck off with no notice lmao #i leave end of the month #at first I was shocked like y’all really doing this now??? but suddenly I’m like. this is the best possible thing that could’ve happened #I spoke to that third party again and she was like ‘I am so happy for you’ like omfg it was a curveball but we’ll take it!!! #I’m fucking outta here and in due course I WILL be writing on glassdoor how fucked they are

oh one of the funny romeo traits is how bamboozled he is by his own odd behaviors. unlike rock who just goes “people’s emotions sure are complex huh” and sighs when others wordlessly run away from him, resigned to the impenetrable species barrier keeping him from understanding human behavior

natsume translated the DS line as “This is terrible. I’ve just gotta act casual.” which itself is really funny (as though he’s trying to maneuver through a crowd of people without letting them notice he spilled spaghetti everywhere or something) but

ダメダメ…。女の子にはふつうに接しなきゃ。

No, that was no good… I need to be normal around girls.

you don’t say

#he was not normal #epic kissing prank event (gone wrong) #ummmm what if we accidentally kissed😙~🎵 haha😳😳😳 #it was just a joke!!! but um if i was serious 😔👉👈 would it really be THAT bad #romeo romeo wherefore the Fuck art thou like this romeo #and YET #if you instead tell him ‘y-yeah i’m down♡’ #he tells you to close your eyes and stands there for several minutes and never kisses you #finally you open your eyes and he’s like ‘it was a prank!! h-haha!!!’ #you absolute turbovirgin i’d throw you into the goddess pond but the goddess would kill mme for littering. get outta here #i’m making a long post about rock and romeo’s different speech habits it’s. it’s going #bokumono #rock tumbling (sos) #harvest moon

No.

#absolutely not forbes #get outta here with this language

[dragonairice]

Words can not describe the rage I feel when texts referring to someone say 'he or she' to be ambiguous, just say THEY oh my God like it's not even a misgendering thing I've been made about it since before I even knew other genders existed PLEASE just use 'they'.

#on the other hand #the absolute euphoria when it DOES actually use gender neutral language and I don't feel dysphoric or mad #this is mostly about school documents btw but applies to anything really #get that 'your son/daughter' and 'he/she' shit outta here #just say 'your child' and 'they' or even 'the student' #LIKE IT LITERALLY TAKES LESS TIME AND INK PLEASE

Rewatched some VODs earlier, and dang... c!Quackity was so hesitant about letting c!Karl die for Mexican L'Manberg. C!Sapnap suggested it, c!George supported it, c!Karl accepted it, but c!Quackity - who wanted to give him armor to protect him, who asked if c!Karl was really okay with losing a life, who tried to undo his death as part of the negotiations with the king - took all the blame for it in the end.

I am mentally ill about this.

#he's a fucking dumbass but he has so much love inside of him too #also. this is NOT a hate post for any of the other three #get outta here with that nonsense #el rapids my absolute beloved #dsmp #c!quackity #c!karl #c!sapnap #c!george

First I'd like to say, it's a pretty impressive list of french books to have read in only 12 months! (even for a french speaker ngl).

I'm not super well versed in classic literature, novel wise (tho I liked "le dernier jour d'un condamné" by Hugo, "la promesse de l'aube" by Romain Gary, and as cliché as it may be I adore "le petit prince") but if you like theater ! In classics I’d recommend "Phèdre" and "Iphigénie" by Racine, Molière ("le malade imaginaire" and "les fourberies de scapin" are personal favorites),"Hernani" by Hugo again (♡♡), and for more modern stuff "Rhinocéros" and "la cantatrice chauve" by Ionesco. Oh, and "Huis Clos" by Sartre!

In poetry, first of all I think Villon is a great, and brave choice especially if you have it in old french (one of my all time favorite poem is his, "la ballade des pendus"). Otherwise, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine and Apollinaire !

In a bit more modern things, if you liked Queneau I’d say give "Zazie dans le métro" a try – tho the way he plays with vocabulary and spelling in this one can be challenging (but it is very fun). Then "Au bonheur des ogres" and "La fée carabine" by Daniel Pennac (I assume the rest of "La saga malaussène" is good too but I have only read those two so far), "escalier C" by Elvire Murail (this one is a big big big fave of mine ♡♡♡), "mercure"by Amélie Nothomb (she’s super prolific but this is the one I remember really enjoying).

For sci-fi, I realize I am not very up to date with what french literature proposes. It’s been quite some time but I remember enjoying “le cycle des fourmis” and “les thanatonautes” + “l’empire des anges” by Bernard Werber. Also “les lutteurs immobiles” by Serge Brussolo. My mother is a harcore fan of Pierre Bordage, so I will slip his name here too. Then I don’t know if you enjoy reading short stories, but in between some scifi/fantasy/fantastique I can rec “la vieille anglaise et le continent – et autres récits” by Jeanne-A Débats, “notre dame aux écailles” and “le jardin des silences” by Mélanie Fazi, Oh and in … I guess technically fantasy? But bordering historical fiction bc of the realism, “chien du heaume” and the next one “mordre le bouclier” by Justine Niogret are two very good short novels.

I am probably missing a ton of great titles, but my brain is failing me and I have very few books in french here (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ) (most of them stayed, well. In France). But this makes me think I really need to get back into actually reading in french – so I am adding Valérie Perrin to my lists for sure!

omg thank you for these recs!! this is so detailed and specific, i love it. you're reminding me i've read several of these before, like i had forgotten about rhinocéros but we read it in high school and i really loved it! i should reread that and/or read some other ionesco for sure. speaking of absurdist plays, have you read en attendant godot? i've read it in english but i know it was in french originally so i've been thinking about trying that. big fan of french absurdism.

i also read a lot of molière in high school french classes (i remember giving an extremely boring and long-winded presentation (for everyone else; i was super into it) on his plays to my english class for some reason??), which is how i first learned what a cuckold is lol. and of course we read some baudelaire but i really want to revisit him! also omg apollinaire is the calligramme guy, right? those rewired my brain. i will check out more of his stuff for sure. and it's good to have the names of some other heavy hitters so i can expand out to cover more than was included in my formal education obvi. (like i have read zero racine? which seems like an oversight in curriculum, but what do i know.)

i do have villon in old french 😩 or i guess technically middle french is what he was writing in. the reason i've been putting it off is that right after the preface there's a four-page section on "graphie et prononciation" and i was just like hmmmm is this really something i need to be introducing into my life at this formative time. like i'm still sort of coming to terms with modern french spelling and pronunciation and this seems like it might just confuse me. so i might not be quite ready, but it's here for me when i've leveled up lol.

i loved the one book by queneau i've read so far, so i super appreciate getting recs for other works by him. and i read one amélie nothomb a few years ago, but when i went to look at what else i could read by her i got so overwhelmed by the sheer number that i couldn't pick! so it's good to have your suggestion for a particular title 😊 i've not heard of the other people you mentioned but will look into them!

thank you so much for pointing me in some scifi/fantasy directions 👀📝 i will take a look at these authors and titles...

yeah i super recommend changer l'eau des fleurs, and i know valérie perrin has written at least two other novels, so i'm gonna try to get my hands on those! the challenge now is that whenever i try to buy books from overseas my credit card company marks it as fraud and cancels the transaction lol. my grandmother found this us-based company that imports books from france and really wants to get me some more french-language books for christmas, but their selection isn't huge. this gives me lots of ideas though and i'm sure they will have at least some of the books you mentioned! thank you again, you really came through 🥰🥰

#always looking out for me...you're a legend for real #french #to read #asks #not anon #also le petit prince is cliche FOR A REASON #absolute classic. i haven't reread but only because 1) i don't own it and 2) it is extremely emotionally potent and i'm not sure i am #in a place to have my heart dissected right now #mais si tu m'apprivoises ma vie sera comme ensoleillée... #j'y gagne à cause de la couleur du blé. #<-GET OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT! I'M TRYING TO LIVE MY LIFE!!!!
