So considering how feudal nations work and if one is willing to focus on the lesser nobles, actual people (so not just showing Edelgard loyalists but those who dislike her too) and if Ludwig manage to escape capture, it would be reasonable to have a civil war happen?

I think it can since Hubert wouldn't just be able to get the network system of his father after murdering him, and the nobles of Adrestia are the worst in terms of opposition to social mobility and primitive form of gender equality, so the lack of civil war is stupid.

I base my thoughts on how France (I'm French too) had the Vendée rebellion and subsequent massacre and how devotion to the Church fueled support to the Spanish nationalists.

Adrestia is somehow the least interesting nation because of how it lack any of the noticeable internal strife shown, and Hubert being so effective at killing dissidents despite being only 20 (before the war) and having been at odd with many of the Seven who would actually have networks on their own is really Mary-sue ish.

I was a Edelstan at first (though I don't think too extreme) , but the more I see things, the more CF, SB and Edie annoy me (though the toxic fans are key in me stopping from preferring Edie).

Ooh!

Cher compatriote,

Thing is, Fodlan has been shown to be... not so feudal at all, especially the Empire.

I mean, Ludwig is jailed by word of the newest Emperor, when Ludwig is the PM and Edel was only the Imperial Princess at that time.

If we assume PM is just a big title (like the Fraldarius being Dukes) and in a feudal setting, Ludwig would have had a lot of lesser Houses and feudal Lords under his authority - the Emperor jails him? I can't see his bannermen - especially since this imprisonment isn't in reaction to anything he did (recently?) - just stand still and continue with their lives - how come no one reacts "wrongly" when he is jailed, in his territory, or the people affiliated to his name (maybe cousins, cadet branches, or what not)?

FWIW, Ludwig managed to escape and sort of mount a small army of men in SB... But that's nowhere what I would expect from the former PM - when we are told he was the one running things at the end of Ionius' rule - to have/raise, the number 1 of the country drops to a nobody by the heir of the puppet ruler, and apparently, the only ones number 1 can have to help him is 15 guys ?

I mean, Ferdie can have his Aegir personal battalion when he ends his paralogue (i know, it's a gameplay mechanic!) - can't we imagine the Aegir Astral Knights would have been something else than 10 dudes following Ferdie in gameplay, and be instead an entire battalion Ludwig could have used to defend himself, or at least run away with? Or imagine those knights tried to locate and liberate him from his prison in Enbarr?

Adrestia is so not developed that, as you say, it ends up being the most boring place of the three (even if I'll argue on this point : both Adrestia and Leicester are completely empty and without interest, but at least, Adrestia had some history landmarks to imagine things, when the Alliance has... Gloucester and his sheep, I guess?) - but at the same time, it could have been much more : Adrestian Emperors claim to descend from Jesus... but there's an Archbishop around (who is actually Jesus and not their ancestor (or is she?), but that's a secret!) so, to everyone who is supposed to buy the official story... Why should the CoS be administred/ruled by a random archbishop, when Jesus' direct line is still alive and kicking? Why should the Emperors share Fodlan - that was liberated by Seiros herself from corrupted people in the North ! - with the descendants of those corrupted people in the North?

The game instead gives us MAGA "Make Adrestia Great Again" with a resentment for the CoS that isn't explained (in Nopes, it's suggested the Emperor who disbanded the Southern church already was pissed with the Central Church!) and we can only guess it's either about Faerghus existing or something else...

I confess my only interest in Adrestia stems from the country being seemingly, during the WoH and post WoH the country were people are happy and peaceful etc "country of a blue lord", and then, 10 years after the end of the War of Heroes, instead of having some "and Renais was rebuilt and Ephraim became the new King of Restauration and helped everyone" we have "and then Lycaon dies mysteriously and the political situation is so "stable" that his successor duels for her throne", complete with a novel having in the background "and Adrestia still didn't leave the Roman Ludi and had northerners being torn apart by beasts as a form of entertainment"* which is, uh, very very very far removed from Marth'n'Tiki finishing their adventures and returning home.

As you pointed out, Adrestia, for what is developed in-game or mentioned about the place, is incredibly bleak and involves child prostitution, heavy class divide and an extreme misoginy in the current times... when it was created/overlooked, at least in the beginning, by Rhea herself ! When Rhea's current home is a rather peaceful place, Adrestia by comparison is a chamber pot, so what the frick happened there? 1000 years are 1000 years, but damn.

We don't have any intel about it - only mentions here'n'there that Hubert and Supreme Leader (but mostly Hubert because he can be criticised in game having a very... biased view of events and refusing to reconsider, but in the end, Adrestia... cannot be developed or have a civil war, because Adrestia isn't the focus of the story - from what we have, we already know it's a bleak place before and after Edel's coronation so... Her goal is to bring reforms to the world, but it's fitting enough that she doesn't deal with her own turf before bringing "reforms" to the rest of Fodlan.

There's also the very doylist reason of Edel having to be marketable, so in Houses, we cannot have people rebel on-screen for what happens in the Empire, else the Emperor... will not sell. Hell, Nopes had to have her brainwashed to have people react to Agarthans killing her randoms right and left, while the Nobles aren't doing a thing - always hammering the fact that "she's brainwashed so it's not her doing this or condoning this by not moving her army to protect her people it's Thales's fault".

Hubert being hyper-competent is an assumed trait at this point lol, unless he really really works with the Agarthans who lend him their tech and spy reports and whatnot. FE isn't a "realistic" as, say, ASOIAF, but without Hubert, Adrestia doesn't function and Edel's plans don't work so Hubert is both a McGuffin plot device (apparently he can pinpoint shambala because Thales fire nukes? Without access to any satellite?) and the character we all love.

Given how Supreme Leader planned her coup coronation and subsequent attack on GM - especially since Leopold already was in her pocket during the mock battle - I'm pretty sure Hubert, or Leopold's army or hell, some of her "allies" already envisaged this, and had either Aegir's "close allies" Hubert'd or monitored.

Or worse, imagine a scenario where Aegir runs to his friend Varley to explain him what happened, how the Emperor sent an army against him to usurp the throne and how they must warn everyone and Leopold to raise the army against her... Only to have Varley reveal he is now the Bishop of the Southern Church, and Leopold sided with her since the beginning...

I know it's not comparable, but Seteth (or some nuns?) mentions how he hasn't heard a thing about the faithful in the Empire... so either they were killed because they were practicionners of the Seiros faith, or because they rebelled/protested against the war and were, uh, disposed of (tfw the games never care about telling us who were the humans used to create the various imperial demonic beasts we see).

FWIW, I have a plotbunny idea where someone pretending to be Hresvelg bastard - with a crest of Seiros - wants to ask for Nopes!Rhea's help to support his claim to the throne, since Supreme Leader declared her war against the Church, he can put an end to it if he becomes Emperor, right? The CoS is torn between accepting "it would create at least some instability in the Empire, so the Kingdom could breathe a bit and maybe use this opportunity to finally fend them off if the Emperor calls back her troops in Enbarr" and "the CoS doesn't meddle in the affairs of humans like succession issues and only does so if it's to prevent a war but here you want us to create a civil war??"

*it's a novel so historical accuracy isn't that high, and yet, even if it's a porn book, why adding this detail in the background - just like people listening to music - I doubt it was written by a Faerghian writter so what, was this detail "northmen were slaughtered by beasts in the background and it was very funny lol" added just as a background thing, like fish being served as a meal ("historical" detail that might have been true!) or...?

#maelor321 #idk if it makes sense lol #adrestia stuff #i was just very interested in Adrestia starting as something Rhea (and willy!) made #which knowing Rhea was supposed to be at least a sort of nice place to live in or where people could at least live in peace #and then it became the stinkhole where Doro has to sleep around at age 12 to become a diva #and where Hanneman watches his sister being impregnated to death but doesn't do a thing to rescue her #or the place where the Emperor can destroy a House if he feels like it #en vrai je pense que la mentalité 'stan' a un peu pourri le fandom si bien que parfois tt le monde est automatiquement sur la défensive #dsl si j'ai donné cette impression #on peut aimer les persos qu'on veut sans chercher à imposer et pourrir le débat pour faire valoir son opinion #il y a dire qu'on est pas d'accord en restant poli et si on est toujours pas d'accord ben on se quitte en gens avec du savoir vivre #genre 'au revoir' de vge #et le 'pas d'accord' de principe qui finit par des insultes gratuites ou en mode 'tu sais pas lire boloss' sérieux on est plus au collège l #je crois qu'avec le fandom on m'a traitée de sexiste de transphobe et de cannibale lol parce que je suis pas fan d'edel? mdr

(Alright, going to stop procrastinating and finally make this post.) After playing through the new trilogy in French to see what was different, here are some things about the French localisation of Spirit of Justice I thought you should know:

First of all, I usually like the French and English versions of the games equally. This marks the first time I've actually enjoyed the French version... more than the English one?? Especially Turnabout Revolution? Don't get me wrong, I already loved it in English, but I think the next time I replay it I'll actively choose French. Idk man it just hits different when a bunch of French people are talking about revolution and overthrowing the tyrannical regime etc

Oh yes, speaking of which, yes, the "Japanifornia" parts of the game take place in Paris, France, as usual. No, I have no idea how Kurain village can be next to the mountains and also the sea while also being in the vicinity of Paris. I also don't know why the entire population of a small country in the Himalayas are fluent in French and use it on a daily basis. But seriously, the main characters mention SO OFTEN that they're French and from France, like, all the fricking time. Remember the incredibly Japanese rakugo case? Imagine that taking place in France.

The Khura'inese pun names are hysterical in French. An example that English speakers can get too: the first culprit's name in French is Sterh'uey Tu'heiven. I'm not making this up. That's his name.

RAYFA'S FRENCH VOICE ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE A TEENAGER INSTEAD OF A 30 YEAR OLD, THANK THE HOLY MOTHER

Unfortunately the Holy Mother giveth, but she also taketh away, and they gave Nahyuta a crunchy old man voice that doesn't suit his ethereal appearance at all...

Athena has now added German and Italian to her random English and Spanish phrases from the prev game. I mean... it made sense before, since she was meant to have lived in the USA in this version, but now I guess she just does it for fun? Who knows

French Roger Retinz uses €50 notes (euros) to fan himself instead of dollar bills

Inga's full name is "Inga Karkhuul Kel Nomh Bowkhou Tro'lon Pohm'peu Eh'Duhr Apronh Ons'ai Khura'in III" ("quel nom beaucoup trop long, pompeux et dur à prononcer")

Nahyuta's nickname in French is just "Yuta"

Ema and Apollo now use informal pronouns for each other, so do Ema and Trucy now, Maya starts using informal pronouns for Apollo from almost the first moment she meets him (though he uses formal pronouns for her lmao), and yes Dhurke and Apollo use informal pronouns with each other the whole time, even when things are awkward at the start. Rayfa and her mother always use formal pronouns for each other, which is a little depressing.

AS FOR NAHYUTA AND APOLLO... HOHOHO. Obviously they're both using "vous" (formal) in court, but in the scene afterwards Apollo switches to "tu" (informal) when he asks Nahyuta if he remembers him. Later in Turnabout Revolution, Apollo has gone back to vous but he's at least saying "Nahyuta" rather than "Prosecutor Sahdmadhi" or whatever (I think that happened in the English version too). Then during the final trial, after that one insanely angsty scene, Apollo starts using tu again and even (internally) uses the nickname Yuta once! Nahyuta eventually starts referring to him as Apollo and starts using tu after finally openly acknowledging Apollo as his family aaauuuuuugh ;o;

(Listen Apollo usually always tries to be formal and professional in court so this is a big deal!!! It's a big deal to me at least!!!!!!!!!)

In the English version there were a few times our good ol' American Apollo had a sort of "haha I'm just a foreigner I don't know anything here" vibe which... no you're not lol. The French version didn't have that (or at least toned it down a lot) and made him feel less like a tourist and more like an immigrant returning to his old home country with complex feelings, which he is. It makes it more personal that he's the one to bring about the revolution imo -- he's not some random foreigner swooping in to save the day, this is his home and his family, he belongs here. (As an immigrant myself I find aspects of him relatable and will defend his Khura'inese backstory to the death DON'T TEST ME)

The "what's crack-a-lackin' homie" line in all its glory:

#WESH GROS. BIEN OU BIEN. i freaking love this guy #anyway uh sorry for going off on tangents in the middle of this one #(as if i didn't also do that in all the other posts...)#ace attorney #aa6 spoilers #spirit of justice #random stuff #i almost cried when nahyuta switched to tu #okay yeah there's still some parts that were better in english but overall french wins this round #i'm serious about apollo's backstory btw. it's very dear to me #i could write an essay about how it recontextualises his personality and reactions in the 4th and 5th games #and makes a lot of stuff about him make even more sense and even makes some old parts feel like foreshadowing #'oh he's unrelatable and different now--' skill issue.#my boy is perfect and i love him in ALL THREE games

L'angle de la photo est pas extra mais!!!!!!

Petite pause de dessin pour ce soir, le temps que ceci guérisse un peu! L'artiste est Guillaume Harven, ici sur instagram, et il a fait un travail absolument génial! J'avais envoyé plusieurs images pour servir d'inspiration, et finalement il s'est surtout tourné vers cette commission faites par @eisly

#cartouche prince des faubourgs #smallsword #ça a l'air d'avoir été fait pendant un high d'hyperfixation tout ça mais à vrai dire c'est un projet que j'avais envisagé avant #ma règle perso pour tout tattoo en lien avec un fandom c'est ''est-ce que ça fait plus de 10 ans que j'aime le truc''#et faut bien avouer que si on remonte à peu près aussi loin voire même avant #on trouve des vieux fanarts de Falconi dans mes affaires #l'idée était aussi d'honorer un peu mes vieux persos de DnD puisque qu'ils ont presque tous eu une rapière à un moment ou un autre #mais bon faut bien avouer. ça reste Falconi-themed asdgkh

Tiens le Guillaume Meurice - grand spécialiste du micro trottoir pas drôle payé avec mes impôts - s’est pris un avertissement de sa patronne pour ses propos à l’antenne et maintenant vient chialer qu’il va faire appel à la justice qui est pourtant - si j’ai bien lu mes fiches - patriarcale, bourgeoise et néocoloniale.

En plus on parle d’un avertissement, pas d’un licenciement. Le mec est à deux doigts de découvrir qu’il bosse pour le service public et qu’il a des comptes à rendre. Déjà que le service public est à 90% à gauche et que tout le monde se tamponne du pluralisme, il va venir geindre qu’on le laisse pas faire du Rivarol à l’antenne.

Mais crée ton média mon petit coco ! Faits et Documents recrute peut-être !

#au moins Siné avait eu le panache de créer son journal pour pouvoir écrire ce qu’il voulait dedans #beaucoup plus de respect pour les vieux anarchistes que pour ce genre de petit bourgeos #qui joue les rebelles depuis les Batignolles avec un emploi salarié #pauvre tâche #je voudrais bien le voir tenter de vivre de ses spectacles ou de son propre podcast

Pour bien commencer, ma petite journée...

Défi d’écriture 30 jours pour écrire, 29 août

Thème : café/dernières fois

. .

C’est fini, j’arrête le café.

C’est mauvais pour la santé, ça me stresse, ça gêne mon sommeil. Sans oublier que c’est dégueulasse. Je ne peux pas le boire sans rajouter du lait ou du sucre – ou encore mieux, les deux, voir même de la chantilly. Je ne l’aime même pas, le café. Ça va être très simple. Sevrage sec. De toutes manières, je n’en buvais pas tant que ça. Je ne suis même pas sûre que je verrai une différence.

J’ai envie de mourir.

Le mal de crâne est une horreur. Mes pensées ne sont plus qu’un petit tas de boue vaseuse mollement agitées par le bâton d’un gamin à moitié endormi. Et j’ai moins d’énergie qu’un combat de pokémon entre un coconfort et un chrysacier.

Pitié, que quelqu’un m’achève.

Tant pis, je vais reprendre un café. Il faut que je survive à cette journée, et que je sois opérationnelle pour la réunion. C’est important, c’est pour mon travail ! Et ce sera la dernière fois.

Bon. Ça n’a pas été la dernière fois, mais je me contrôle maintenant. Pas plus d’une tasse par jour, le matin, histoire de dormir malgré tout. Oui, tant qu’à me limiter à une tasse, on est plutôt sur un mug, voir un bol, mais après tout c’est un classique, le bol de café le matin, et ça n’a jamais empêché personne de dormir, non ? Ça suffira bien.

Ça n’a pas suffit. Ça n’a pas suffit du tout. Il faut vraiment que j’arrête. Il faut absolument, définitivement que j’arrête. Cette nuit, j’ai dormi trois heures. Celle d’avant, quatre. Celle d’encore avant, quatre et demi. Et la précédente, deux.

J’ai tenu un certain temps, et là je m’écroule.

Ce que je compense avec plus de café.

Donc maintenant c’est bon, j’ai compris ma leçon. C’est triste, il y a des milliards de gens qui vivent très bien sous caféine, ce n’est pas mon cas, il faut que je me fasse une raison. Cette fois, c’est la dernière fois. Promis, juré, craché, j’arrête.

Je suis une loque essorée jusqu’à la moelle de la dernière goutte d’énergie qui lui restait.

Que quelqu’un m’achève.

Comment fonctionnait mon cerveau, avant ? Il y a bien eu une époque où ce cerveau marchait sans caféine. Je m’en souviens. A peu près.

Plus envie de rien. Tout s’accumule. Et s’accumule. Et s’accumule…

. Ok, j’ai repris, mais j’étais très stressée ! Et puis une tasse ça ne va pas me tuer. Ce n’est pas de la cigarette non plus !

Cette fois, c’est dit, c’est décidé, c’est la dernière fois.

Oooh can you PLEASE talk about French complaints about anglicisms? I also love linguistics

Oh BOI, CAN I?????

There's this weird tendency (aka policy) in France against anglicisms and adopting words from the English language because the ruling class has this grand idea about French exceptionalism, how it must remain pristine and unchanged just like it Used to Be.

And ok, that seems reasonable on the surface, fighting American soft power and soft imperialism and all that.

Except they go about it in the STUPIDEST WAY.

You know what didn't exist as it is now, say 600 years ago? THE FRENCH LANGUAGE! The pronunciation was different, the grammar was different, the spelling was different. And you know what won't exist in 600 years? THE FRENCH LANGUAGE as it is now! (and humanity, probably, but that's another topic for another day) Cause that's how languages WORK.

Politicians and conservatives are all up in arms because of a few English words, failing to remember English takes a sizable chunk of it's vocab from French itself since the Norman conquest. They sometimes fustigate people for using an English word.... OF FRENCH ORIGIN!!!!!

Also word borrowing is one of the natural processes languages undergo. Alcohol? Arabic! Denim? French! Trying to stop it is like building a dam with Swiss cheese.

There is also this whole institution in France called the Académie Française, whose job is to define what's proper correct French and what isn't, and most of the members (for life) AREN'T EVEN FUCKING LINGUISTS?????? They're supposed to be the highest authority regarding the French language and it's just a fancy club of old people with fancy black and green jackets????

Anyway, some guys are also in charge to proposing (imposing) French words to replace anglicisms. The lastest ones are :

a streamer -> un joueur en direct

a deepfake -> une infox vidéo

a podcast -> une baladodiffusion

And those are the OFFICIAL words lawmakers have to use in official documents, whereas NO ONE on the French population would ever use them. Like.... EVER, because the use of those anglicisms is already rooted in everyday life, since they weren't any French equivalent when they were invented.

Anyway, I hate it, leave languages evolve naturally thank you for coming to my TED talk

NB : this rant does not apply to corporate anglicism, corporate anglicism can go die in a ditch, they are the opposite side of the elitism spectrum, stop calling it a "one-to-one" (wan-tou-wan) it's just a fucking review conversation with one of your colleagues OH MY GOD

#answered #linguistics #english #french #french culture #french stuff #if you speak french please check out linguisticae's video on the academie française on youtube it's chef kiss #boomers be like oh no we must preserve the beauty of our language #bro i work with the youth and they all speak french and you wouldnt be able to understand a single thing they say #wesh maggle bien ou bien OKLM t'as vu and such #and that's AMAZING #i just.... love.... LANGUAGES
