hi hello :D hope y’all are having a wonderful day-

thank you so much for making this blog because holy shit it’s gonna be so helpful <3

how do you say “Jesus Christ” in French ? context being it’s an exasperated exclamation

1. Many thanks - Aschen

Always happy to help! Now shower us with prompts and questions :) - Ray

Aw hey, thanks a ton - Cosmas

alpha here !! have a nice day too ! Personally, I'm glad you think this'll be useful. I just hope you and other people alike will be ready for how fuckin utterly disgustingly verbose I am, as expected of the person of this blog assuming authority on questions regarding spy (and perhaps what little scout could hope to have of french), and I am wishing you to manage to extract some glimpses of useful informations from my endless blabber still. (i also would like to apologise for my... sporadic use of ' and caps. i unfortunately have spent a good part of my life imitating dave strider's typing style, for i am the mandatory homestuck fan per project.)

onto the point !

well, what a simple yet interesting question, which yet easily unfolds into quite the lot of considerations to ponder !

so see, i am already forced to explain a little french thing known as our special relationship with religion, or as i fondly call it, our hellbentness on loudly frothing at the mouth whenever the church and catholicism is mentionned and our tendency to enjoy concepts such as the guillautine and the séparation de l'état et de l'église (chuch state separation for you English speaking friends)

This love for our république and révolution influenced us culturally a lot. In short; we do not refer to god for much or anything, including for the use religion based cusses, simply because we were hellbent on removing the catholic church from as much of our life as possible. It wasnt just royalty ! (we had a toast in the honor of the english queens death btw). But, because there always is a but, these cusses and the like still exist in french, and Spy is still someone who lives around americans a lot. so im assuming hed do the same as me, aka pick up a lot of language habits that youd usually not develop as much. this DOES include using religious based speech despite it all. A common consequence is, even if you don't say oh mon dieu/mon dieu a lot usually, well… Live long enough in America, and you will. But, because of course, there's always a but ! we do this because they have strikingly similar connotations ! Both can be used for surprise, fear and exhaustion alike. So. Let me actually answer this.

First, Jésus Christ is how you say it in french but it's pronounced completely different, like jeh-zus creest. Second, that said its not one i'd quite use interchangeably, at least for this case. You see, not only it sounds awkward as fuck in French and would be a real tongue twister to say in the middle of an English sentence (Ray's post on switching from Russian to English being hard also applies to French), it also would be that French uses this one a bit more restrictively : it's a thing you say more for surprising situations rather than quite exhaustion. We can but it's not our first choice. (also, on a side note, doux Jésus, lit. sweet jesus, is precisely for pleasant surprises too, as well as fear bound surprise. On a similar vein, the exclamation "Jesus !" will more often than not be better translated by "Christ !", but it really is. um. a nun/old time thing. It really is not common.)

Ironically mon dieu/bon dieu would likely be more fitting, bon sang (bloody hell ? Except that it's just. literally good blood.) but only if you follow it with a full mocking sentence like "bon sang, you are so fucking stupid it baffles me !…" or something like "bon sang, mais c'est quoi ce bordel ?" for full on, jesus christ what is this shit ? yknow. you even can use bon sang de bon soir. This whole thing reads as much more firm and almost angry compared to what you want, likely, tho. The absolute fucking peak of tired exhaustion, which is what I assume you're going for ? a standalone "mon Dieu mon Dieu mon Dieu mon Dieu…" Complete with head shaking and rubbing your temples. Bonus for being a classic movie reference (le grand restaurant, any Louis de Funès fan here ? he might pop up a lot in what i refer to). "Doux Jésus de doux Jésus de doux Jésus…" also works the same, minus the cool reference. A good ole "oh putain" for when you realize sth is going fucky is good too, the classic "merde/et merde" also is commonly adviseable.

There are many options because despite Ray's insistance that French cussing is weak compared to Russian one, we do have an entire art of cussing a lot, cussing in specific ways and cussing in stupid and artful ways. please do not hesitate to provide more context and/or the paragraph in which this pops up. but overall ? since your audience will be in its majority either american, or french people used enough to american english, i wouldnt worry too much about jésus christ not being understood or noticed as an "error" despite its use being a tiny tiny bit different. This is overall nitpick. but hey ! Guess that's what we are here for.

#tf2 #tf2 spy #langage language #i will figure out a tf2 pun tag hopefully #i just have 0 ideas rn #besides maybe off to visit my mother #bc i always ask for me mums opinion whenever it comes to french #so itd be a miracle if i got through ONE post without asking her #but thats less of a pun and more of an inside joke so... #feel free to add your own suggestions btw #doesnt matter if youre french or not ill answer w what i think #also unrelated but do ask me about how i genuinely do not know if valve intended for spy to look like louis de funes or not #and how fitting itd be if it was intentional

here to say thank you for understanding the characters the way as they should be, so many misinterpret them horribly and take them at their face value or will straight up make up a headcanon and then trick themselves into thinking thats what the character is(yang being the biggest one that gets mischaracterized so much and so badly). you actually go through each characters heads while considering canon material and fune tooth combing each and every scene and piece of information for them

i try my best lol. i'm sure i get stuff 'wrong' (i.e. not necessarily what the writers themselves were going for) every now and then, such is life when we all come from different backgrounds and have different life experiences that mold us, but nothing is more fun than putting myself in specific character's shoes and really digging in to see what makes them tick, how their backstories inform their actions, both past and present, and so on and so on.

i think a common stumbling block—besides headcanons taking priority, which frankly is a package deal with fandom in general—is the though that if you like a character, they must be good, and if you dislike a character, they must be bad, which leads to all their actions being painted in same light, nuance be damned. people want nuanced and flawed characters as long as it suits them; the moment it doesn't, all that gets thrown out the window while still claiming that nuance is everything—just don't point out that the character they like might actually be *GASP* flawed, or that character they dislike might actually not be Pure Evil™, and everything is fine.

(people relating to characters probably also plays a part here; any pointed flaw towards a character they like is seen as an attack against them, etc.)

yang to me is a fascinating case, because, well. people often point towards jaune as the character most often bastardized by fandom, and i completely get that, but what i've also found is that these jaune fans often just. stay on their lane, doing their own thing, which is very easy to ignore if you so please. with yang, though, i've seen people getting upset at other fans for taking an official description of yang into account when portraying her in artwork or fics and straight up claiming that the very obvious canon trait of yang's is either a) never really been a thing (it has very much been a thing since day 1), or b) a made-up fanon thing, and it's like

if you don't like it, take it up with rooster teeth??? why get mad at other fans for characterizing yang as she is in canon??? makes no sense lmao

anyway, not that i need them to stop; the most appreciation i've gained towards characters has been solely because i've seen takes about them that immediately, without ever having thought about these characters that deeply before, make me go "that's bullshit" and then dig through canon to make myself understand why my instinct was that strong—and often finding new things that i had never considered before. it's a win-win situation for me skdgkjhkfh

#thanks for the kind words!! ♥ #anon #ask.strqyr #most importantly i'm just here to have fun #ultimately these are just made-up characters #they're not real #they can be or do whatever any writer wants them to be or do #like it is that deep... but also it isn't #if that makes sense?

Y/n open her eyes and saw she wasnt in a bulding were she was normaly but she looks around and saw she was in a house. "Hello y/n" she turns around and saw castiel. "Cass where am i ?"

Louiee - @vroyeaux

Wyving - @celticsalternia

Will/Widget - @lordtonic

nereus (: - YOU!

What are five of your favorite ships? (In the rp community or otherwise)

this is hard cos if I'm not directly involved then idk what's going on cos ppl don't just come into my DMs to tell me abt their ships. I know TWO super public ships and thats @quiescent-trolls and @ask-the-troll-boys stuff. if youre in the fantroll community there is no way to not know abt lekthi/magpie and echnir/nihoko (biting them, affectionately). i read whatever pops up on my dash abt em but since im missing a lot of context i cant exactly call either of those faves tho 😭i need to know all the deets for That to happen. and tumblr doesnt show me much FTC things on my dash <//3 SORRY THIS WAS A RLLY LONG WINDED WAY OF SAYING I DONT HAVE ANY

i rlly loved freddie's character ships tho, way back when ): i knew too much abt them and they infected my brain with devils for 7 years

EDIT: IN A MOMENT OF CLARITY I DID REMEMBER A SHIP I RLLY LIKE. @vroyeaux and @ask-the-troll-boys ship Breaking Dawn. i need to see more of those two or else i'll blow this building to the fucking ground (they make me soft and i adore the art of them, i love hearing abt their growth and how their relationship moves forward)

What sort of muses do you tend to write?

Goofballs and/or "comic relief" type characters who are actually smiling through so much funing pain la dee da ^-^ I don't write them ALL THE TIME but they are one i really do love to make. Secondly I love sweet unassuming guys who are actually pretty fucked up! Super fucked up! Creeps, weirdos, violent characters. more for the aesthetic tbh i just think theyre fun and sexy. i like to write characters with plenty room for growth and change overall, though. and characters who are shaped by love

this is so interesting to me!! i think their numbers will even out a bit (already have started to i think) but they definitely need to find new ideas kinda soon. i think the minecraft stuff will maintain a younger youtube-only audience, but a lot of people will get bored. i think tommy is playing it really smart by starting up the vlog channel, and i think that’s the direction that the dteam should start going in. george and sapnap (george especially) already have by streaming a variety of stuff, featuring in irl content, incorporating face cam, etc. i think dream is kinda holding them back by not face revealing. BUT there’s obviously gonna be a rise in popularity when dream face reveals, and if they strike while the irons hot and do vlog shit, i think that will open them up to opportunities to do different stuff, come up with new ideas, and make their content more personality based than minecraft based (sry for rambling)

!! it is its rlly interesting n ive sepnt like . all day looking at their twitcha dn ytb stats and i rlly cant tell if their numbers are evening out yet or not just because of their posting schedule (like its consistent but its kinda sporadic adn the thing about that is that sometimes thyell post a video that wont do as well adn tehn that makes the numbers dip but then they'll post a banger that'll shoot up the graph and bc they've only really been posting on ytb for like 2 years and not super frequently there just isnt rlly enough data to show if theyre leveling out or not) and i think they definately have ideas for videos, dream's said that he'll rattle through thousands of ideas n he prob has a big document for ideas n stuff, he just needs like another banger like manhunt, honestly i think they've got quite a few stuff for george bc he's turned to more irl mc content since hte beggining of the year and thats awhole avenue they havent really explored yet n obv thats easy to market/title/thumbnail, but sapnaps interesting bc his 'niche' is kinda just what they were doing before which is nice ngl but also i dont think he has enough videos for me to confidently go . 'he's the guy who makes plugin videos' yk. but i dont think people will get bored of mc on ytb bc of their posting rate (ie. not too much to the point where people wont bother to watcha new upload yk) and bc its like one of/the most successful videogames and most of their content is kid friendly n everything theyre probably fune on ytb n im honestly not sure if they'll ever stray away from mc or make their ytb content more personality based bc dream said that the majority of his viewers are not there for his personality adn he was right, the majority of his subscribers arent there for his personality ther're there to see him outsmart and outplay 5 players, there they're for his mc skill, and also i think the only thing rlly holding them back from irl content is george still being in the uk, like if they were to film vlogs i think he'd be the one to 'take charge' yk. AND YEAH tommy was so smart w his vlog channel he started it like straight after lockdown ended so he'dprobably been planning it for a while? but it was sucha smart idea on his part like he's really got the personality for it and his content is sm broader now

#dw for ramblign skjdhfkg #[redacted] tumblr user #asks #i rlly rlly dont thnk that theyre gonna make their content personality based bc a lot less people like a personaluty than a game yk

Modern!AU X Drake trash

he’d own three cats

thats, like, for sure

their bowls match their fur colors

drakey would have them custom made so each of the bowls have the cat’s name imprinted on it

of course the cats take much more space than him in his small apartment

but he doesn’t care at all

I think his place would be a little bit messy cause of the lack of space

books everywhere

he’s saving up for a telescope since forever

the cats would be named either after the velociraptors from Jurassic World or characters from Black Sails

I just wanna state that Drake is Captain Flint in every detail what the fuck

personality and looks and everything

anyways, he likes reading/studying late in the night near a window so he’s able to see the sky (no stars cuz air-pollution in the city where he lives)

^ also Milo is 100% Drake coming back home from work 

so yeah, the dino man would be basically Milo as well

god help me

drakey adores cheesy movies and gestures and stories

the whole cheesiness 

he’d be watching 10 Things I Hate About You on a Friday night, sprawled on a sofa with a bag of popcorn while petting his cats mindlessly

yeah, i dont think he’s the friday-clubbing kind of guy

adores Disney movies

and tv series with detectives

he’d be connecting with Sherlock on a spiritual level

also knows all the Detective Monk’s episodes by heart

AS WELL AS every single Louis de Funes movie

he’s trying to make his cooking hobby a thing

also a huge multi-tasker

like pouring-the-pancake-batter-on-a-frying-pan-while-watching-Brooklyn 9-9-with-one-eye-and-a-cute-lizards-compilation-youtube-video-on-his-phone-with-the-other-one kind of multi-tasking

^ that’s him in the kitchen

i seriously dont know why ure still reading this but i love u

lets talk about his stuffed animal collection (t rex and baby seal are his favourites)

which he keeps all over the shelves, in between the books

he spent a fortune on it, and plans on continuing to do so

he’s usually not embarrassed by it cause he rarely has any visitors

totally would sign up for a language course, if only he had the money

so he just buys a textbook and studies by himself

often seen in the public library

drakey hasn’t met the love of his life yet and he often gets lonely

he enjoys talking to his coworkers but thats it

they never invite him to hang out with them

idk thats how i picture it 

i feel like he’d totally be into room decorating and like, interior design?

as in, he’s shopping at ikea, picking some new furniture and choosing between some eggplant or teal coat rack 

some people find him furiously attractive but he’s also a little intimidating so

would totally play Minecraft and League of Legends but his PC isn’t the smoothest one so he ends up raging at FPS drops and just quits 

Rakan is his spirit animal btw

drakey often goes to coffee shops and just sits there reading a book and chilin cuz coffee smell

he keeps a few plants on a windowsill to make his flat more dandy lookin

also is in excellent relations with this old lady living next door

enjoys glass painting

celebrity crush would probably be Jensen Ackles cuz why wouldn’t he 

favourite drink’s Dr. Pepper, im 3000% sure about it

is so into politics and always leaves a comment under posts on gossip websites 

signed up on popbitch.com

would probably choose a tote bag/backpack over a purse

i feel like in hellschool he wouldn’t have straight As 

cuz he only learns things that are truly interesting for him

teachers and students both like him cause why wouldn’t they

always careful not to offend anyone

eats home-made lunch which he always prepares in the morning

owns a cute pencil case with a motivational quote on it <3

drakey tries so hard not to get stressed over school but he always ends up panicking about it 

probably has a lot of crushes but never admits to em

drinks a lot of Blacks/Tigers/Monsters cause he genuinely likes the taste

as well as sparkling wine and/or whiskey

if he ever gets drunk, its always in his flat, surrounded by cats

okay imma end right here or else i’ll start talking about his preferable clock theme on PC 

which is the custom one, by the way

okay thats it

of course its not it, i’ll just make another post later
