#harangue

[daily-french-words]

harangue : nf. discours sérieux prononcé devant une assemblée ou une personnalité importante.

ex : Le général prononce une harangue devant ses soldats pour les motiver.

2/10 (at least I think? I'd never heard it before, but it might depend on the region you're in).

oration : a formal public speech delivered on a special occasion.

As always, harangue also exists in English with the exact same writing, but I translated it with something else because translation is hell!

It can also be used in a more familiar context, and in that case would refer to a boring or overly formal lecture, generally used as a negative term.

This one was borrowed from Italian! From arringa, "public speech" and earlier than that from arringo, "arena". These forms date back from around the 1300s, and interestingly enough, seem to come from the Gothic words hriggs and hring (earlier form), "circle, ring" (which may also be at the origin of the current English word ring).

I read your post about Steve giving Eddie the silent treatment for being annoying and I imagine eddie said something annoying and Steve just kind of straightened up, nodded his head to himself like “Okie dokie. That does it” and just walked out of the room. 😂 Eddie just crossed a line that neither of them knew was there 😂

oh 100%

The problem really stems from how Eddie let himself get used to having four people in the house, so when both Moe and Robbie move out and Hazel gets her driver’s license all within the span of three-ish years, Steve becomes the primary target of Eddie’s button-pushing by default.

To his credit, Steve is used to Eddie being a pain in the ass. They’d been together for almost a decade before Moe was born and he’d known that about him even before then so his tolerance for Eddie’s shenanigans is pretty high.

The compounding nature of it is what he has a hard time with, so when Eddie wakes Steve up early on the one morning he doesn’t need to be up early trying to show him stupid memes and then tugs all the blankets off of him and then spends five minutes shaking the ice water he’d put in Moe’s old Hydro Flask the night before to prove that the ice hadn’t melted and then, when Steve is finally about to doze off again, has the audacity to poke him in the side and say this:

“If Tommy Hagan tracked you down to say that he’s gay and still in love with you, would you divorce me for him?”

–that, for Steve, is game over.

#the thing is – steve would be so down to talk through this hypothetical #IF it hadn’t been preceded by thirty minutes of relentless haranguing #steddie #liv’s steddie dads verse #steddie dads #steve harrington #eddie munson

i mean you’re right about one thing, literally no one asked for this

but also imagine being this close to recognizing how trapped by his circumstances jgy was, recognizing that the key to changing his life would be changing his childhood, understanding that he didn’t receive love and support from anyone around him, and coming to this conclusion about his character. amazing.

#don’t go harassing and haranguing the user if you find their post #salty peak sect 🧂 #he did crimes??? good for him 😌 #also he absolutely was swayed by his love for jin ling!!! #even if you decide to interpret jrs's death in the text as being unambiguously jgy's doing #(which i don't. but i won't pretend the text definitively absolves him either) #jgy loved and cared about jin ling. that is WHY that moment in guanyin hits like a fucking truck #that's why jin ling still cries for jgy after his death #that's why he gets so angry at sly et al for telling him not to waste his tears!

I think Nightcloud's Thaw (assuming you keep that title) is a great idea not only because your Nightcloud is so interesting and because she as a character deserves more spotlight, but also because it would be interesting to see Crowfeather begin to change from her perspective. After all, you said it was a surprise he offered to help save Breezepelt at all- and what better way to show that than for us to not be inside his head when he makes the decision to offer to help?

I'm feeling more and more confident about it. I think BB!Nightcloud is absolutely the best choice of a character to observe the events of "Crowfeather's Trial," now Nightcloud's Thaw.

Nightcloud's Thaw is an okay title for now, but I want to bat around some more names.

It's meant to invoke the way her life begins to turn around, after Crowfeather's exile; beginning with that reveal, how Crowfeather's behavior reaches a breaking point in the Clan, her reputation turn-around, and finally accepting Crowfeather's help in aiding Breezepelt.

So "thaw" is one way to put it... but if I could capture something more related to the change of seasons or time, that would be good too. Nightcloud's Daybreak, Nightcloud's Horizon.

We can go through Nightcloud's process of unlearning with her.

The dread and fury at the reveal, the shock when Crowfeather actually sees a consequence, and the way that suddenly the Clan is sympathetic towards her in a way they'd never been

How this newfound empathy feels somewhat insulting to her, but, how it helps her start to realize that she DOESN'T deserve how Crow treats her.

Makes it easy to truncate most of OotS, can quickly be described as "they stayed together slightly longer, but if it wasn't dead, their relationship was quickly dying."

And really get to the meat of the story with how Crowfeather deflecting the blame of their son's Dark Forest training on her was the LAST straw. For everyone. Including Crowfeather himself.

(I think I'll actually change around the fight in the BOTTE to be Breeze attacking CROW, and Lionblaze STOPS him. Because killing his pathetic dad, in the end, wouldn't fix anything and would ruin his life forever. Really change it to stress that no one likes Crowfeather because of how he keeps treating people. If Crow wants to turn that around, he has to CHANGE.)

(Plus, something just feels nice about letting the two have a bond. Something about how they were both pulled out of the dirt at the Kitty Olympics and washed clean by Nightcloud, starting this deep, brotherly bond somehow. I'll have to revisit this.)

Nightcloud alone can link the way that Crowfeather is trying to change himself, AND the way Breezepelt is getting worse, in the way I want

She's cautious of Crowfeather, for good, obvious reasons. He hurt her, and has only ever used her good faith as leverage against her.

And she's charitable to Breezepelt, because she knows exactly what pain is behind his rash, emotional behaviors.

SO I can frame them both in the way I want through her eyes.

Plus, I need a place to put her childhood. If it's not here, I wouldn't have a good spot to put it.

I could link all the flashback segments with having Addersong pass away, since he would be VERY old at this point. It could be very bittersweet for her

She spent so much time away from her beloved mentor, who taught her so much.

She could have had so many wonderful years with him, his advice, and his songs. But now he's an elder in his last moons

All because she let her heart be hardened after the death of her family. Pain lead her astray so many times...

I'll probably rework a LOT of the stoat stuff. I know right away there's a lot of actions in CT I want to rip away from Crowfeather and hand over to Breezepelt; a lot of the loud, openly argumentative moments he has with Onestar for example. SHOW the way that Breezepelt interprets Harespring/Darkseeker's diplomatic responses as "sniveling and traitorous" to him.

Have Nightcloud be trying to bridge this gap between Breezepelt and his Clanmates with her new reputation, and it just not working.

Maybe shuffle Nightcloud's disappearance near the end of the book, around the time that the Kin appears. Show that his mother being suspected dead was a BIG reason Breezepelt made such an emotional choice to join the Kin, and bring his other allies with him.

#Nightcloud's Thaw #Better bones au #In the Tunnel Rescue of BB!AVOS I have a CLEAR scene in my head where they're all escaping #And Breeze is harangued by a 'bully' character who antagonizes him all series long in the Kin #And just as he's forced onto his back in the leaf litter in a brawl #Nightcloud SURGES out of the tunnel-- the first of Harespring's team-- and CLOCKSS that bully #TAKEN OUT BY THE WORD GO #ANNOUNCER CHEERS #ITS NIGHTCLOUD WITH THE STEEL FIST #She can be the only cat on the screen EVER who punches another cat and knocks them CLEAN outcold LMAOO #And then the others stream out and reveal the Rescue Team which was Heather and Hare's plan all along #But Nightcloud gets to be the first one out #Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train #And sometimes it's Nightcloud #Same thing.

kinda random but i think the biggest power fantasy i commonly see in fics doesn't have anything to do w superpowers or everyone liking the main character, it's living in adverse conditions and being able to work yourself out of them through sheer force of individual willpower.

i think it goes hand-in-hand with the absolutely unrealistic depiction of autodidactism, where you can learn everything perfectly well from books and youtube. it's the idea that you can just use hard work and knuckle through and eventually you'll come out the victor and also be leagues ahead of everyone.

it's understandable but telling that the most common depictions in fandom of abused or disadvantaged characters includes them being the best and most perfect person ever, and that they tend to get out of a situation by themselves, generally accompanied by a confrontation where they emerge as morally superior and everyone gawks at them and applauds their virtue.

i get the urge, but it's truly a fantasy, and i think the more challenging and ultimately empowering scenario is reaching out to others and being helped bit by bit. idk where exactly i'm going with this, but i guess my point is that no one actually lives in a vacuum.

#it's wanting to do adversity virtuously #as tho you can game yourself out of it if you're 'good' enough and smart enough and just hang on long enough #and it's a lie #dude if i'm so poor that i'm food insecure you will not catch me waking up at 530 every morning to go for a jog #and similar scenarios #i don't want to harangue too much bc i think these are stories written by ppl who feel alone and disempowered #and who HASN"T had this fantasy in some version #but we really really need other ppl #again idk where i'm going with this #rozisms #fandom

Underappreciated aspect of The Great Race: Gordon and Philip's evolving relationship.

It's so pure how Philip consistently calls/refers to Gordon as "the Shooting Star" (even when he's being menaced by that mean American lug and shoved off a cliff! even then, he still remembers Gordon's new 'pronouns'!)

Gordon seems to really appreciate Philip being the only one to respect his preferred name, too. He clearly finds Philip annoying at the beginning of the movie, but they be rollin' along together at the end.

#of course every detail shown about gordon's relations with the others in this movie is *fascinating* #did y'all see the part where james rolls his eyes while they listen to gordon haranguing victor within the works? #iconic #even JAMES THE RED ENGINE is like 'dude... have you considered just being patient... you can do it for free yanno' #also all the cavalcade shots are kinda nice ngl #i can't tell if this movie is better than most of the fandom thinks #or if i'm just developing stockholm syndrome because my daughter has been requesting it regularly now for going on six mo.s...pls send help #ttte #ttte specials #ttte gordon #ttte philip #ttte james

Not Monday anymore but since both @broodwolf221 and @kcwriter-blog were kind enough to tag me, here’s a little something from one of my WIPS <3

——

The whole table fell silent. Those already facing the Elf looked up. Those who weren’t, twisted around in their chairs and stared in mild disbelief.

There was a faint gasp as Dorian, seated opposite Cole, brought a hand to his chest, evoking the image of a prim Orlesian clutching their pearls in the face of scandal. Given Dorian’s flare for showmanship, this was likely the intended effect.

“Is that…Solas? In a tavern? As I live and breathe!”

Sera snorted, looking him up and down as though in search of some clue that what she was seeing was somehow an elaborate falsehood.

“What’s this, Elfy? You lose a bet or something?”

Iron Bull gave a hearty chuckle at that.

“Now, now, let’s not scare the poor guy off,” Varric stepped out in front of the Elf and made the sort of gesture one might when wrangling a school of unruly children, “Took me practically half a year to pry this one away from that important research of his.”

Solas looked down at the Dwarf with a kind of fond exasperation, knowing full well that last statement had been a playful jab at his ruthless work ethic. We’re it anyone else, he might have taken offense at having his tireless efforts belittled. But this was Varric. He was, alongside Lavellan, one of the few people whose teasing he allowed. He’d have included Cole in that number but knew full well the Spirit’s nature made him pathologically incapable of being anything but sincere.

“Well then,” said Dorian, “Let’s make him feel welcome, shall we?”

Before Solas could do anything to dissuade him, Dorian had already pulled up an empty chair beside his own and was now waving his hand in a gesture of invitation. Solas reflexively looked at Varric, who nodded towards the empty chair.

“Well, Chuckles?”

Forever haunted by the fact that my BF has an uncanny resemblance to my fan art headcannon of a particular RvB character AND major similarities between this characters fanon backstory and his IRL life despite most of the art I drew being made before we even met so if he ever found my blog I would have to disappear and start over in a party city but also strongly compelled to ask everyone to guess which character.

I played EA right before release so I’m watching old Dream Lover videos to see what it used to be like and… I totally see why they changed it to the substantially more subtle Dream Guardian but I kinda wish there was an option to choose one or the other, because the sleazy, heavy handed Dream Lover is super fun to me

#bg3 #totally valid that not everyone wants to be sexually harassed and harangued by some creep #but alas I do #and if you picked the Guardian it wouldn’t hit on you at all #so ppl can make their parents and not get jump scared in act 3 lol

Rewatching the scenes with Harangue's hate speeches is hilarious cause he is literally word for word calling Ben a "menace to society" 😂 like, no, he's not really as much of a menace as Harangue makes him out to be BUT as someone who prides themselves in being a menace to society, I think that's so sexy of him. Slay.

#harangue: ben tennyson is a menace to society!!!1! #me twirling my hair around my finger: ooohhh is he 😍 #lmao #Ben 10 #Ben 10 uaf #ben tennyson #will harangue
