@lilias42 replied to your post “@dimiclaudeblaigan replied to your post “About...”:

1 Même AG se tire une balle dans le pied avec Miklan vu que bon, Dimitri préfère faire devenir général Miklan qui est un ancien noble malgré le fait qu'il soit un brigand sadique qui pille et tue pour le fun, ravisseur de femme et fratricide et persécuteur d'enfant avéré tout ça parce qu'il n'a pas hérité de Matthias (alors que Matthias le préfère à Sylvain parce que femme dans le frigo et ne fait rien pour protéger son cadet)

​2 plutôt qu'un roturier x s'étant illustré au combat dans son armée (il aurait aussi pu choisir un ancien brigand mais en disant qu'il l'était pour manger, pas pour tout brûler par caprice) Pour quelqu’un qui veut donner une meilleure place aux roturiers, ça la fiche assez mal

Mais non, l'histoire du roturier qui transcende sa condition tellement il est badass c'est la route de Dedel ça! Et apparemment, c'est la backstory de Ladislava, mais elle meurt avant qu'on puisse dire ouf!

Plus sérieusement, je ne sais pas si l'axe voulu c'était le "même sans emblème un quidam (oui il est noble et donc à eu au minimum une bonne éducation dans ces domaines alors ce n'est pas vraiment in quidam) peut devenir général" ou le "seconde chance pour tous : même si vous avez poutré des randoms, essayé de tuer des bébés et fait des bisous non consentis à des femmes, vous pouvez vous racheter!".

Parce que bon, le coup du "mais Sylvain a dit qu'il était ok avec ça" c'est certes gentil pour lui, mais perso, ça renvoie un image plutôt moche du Royaume, si on offre des portes de sortie à des criminels comme ça parce qu'on est en temps de guerre et qu'on a besoin de bras/têtes. Dimitri a aussi demandé aux paysans abusés et aux femmes séduites si elles étaient d'accord avec son plan? C'est quoi ce message, la peine de Miklan est commuée en "il devient général" même s'il est censé être surveillé et peut être exécuté à la moindre incartade (comme n'importe quel autre général qui voudrait faire des "incartades" similaires à ce qu'il avait fait en tant que bandit)?

Encore à la limite si on nous disait qu'il n'y avait pas que Miklan qui a bénéficié de cette "opportunité" mais tout son gang de losers, pourquoi pas - il n'y aurait pas que lui qui bénéficierait de cette "seconde chance" mais aussi les bandits quelconques qui l'accompagnaient pour effacer ce doute et dire à tout le monde, ancien noble ou bandit quelconque, qu'ils peuvent se racheter en défendant le pays, et pas seulement offrir cette opportunité à Miklan parce qu'il est le frère de Sylvain et le fils de Matthias...

Au final, il meurt en héros (pauvre Ladislava, tout le monde s'en fout de sa mort!) donc Dimitri avait fait le bon choix et Miklan a bien saisi l'opportunité pour essayer de se racheter, même si j'aurais quand même préféré voir Dimiri organiser une escouade de gens quelconques, dont aurait fait partie Miklan en tant que soldat (et pas en tant que général) comme "punition" au lieu d'être exécuté, avec, je ne sais pas, entre plusieurs chapitres l'escouade des gens quelconques qui félicite Miklan pour ses actions/rôles et d'autres personnes qui se lamentent sur ses choix passés, préférant mettre ses talents à l'usage de vendetta personnelle contre, euh, le monde? au lieu de faire quelque chose d'utile et de devenir chevalier ou seigneur de son frère - à la limite qu'il soit promu au rang de chef d'escouade si le premier meurt à cause d'une bête démoniaque - pour qu'il finisse comme il le fait dans le jeu, à tenter de défendre Arianrhod.

Peut-être avec une oraison de la part de Gilbert (certes c'est son grand frère qui a un emblème!) - rappelant que si la possession d'emblème est accordée par la Déesse, c'est à chacun que revient de faire le choix d'être une personne qui fait quelque chose de bien de sa vie, ou pas.

En gros, de faire en sorte que l'accent soit moins mis sur Miklan frère de Sylvain et ancien membre de la maison Gautier, mais plus sur Miklan, un quidam qui veut se racheter.

#lilias42 #je trouvais ce passage un peu moche #le 'sylvain a dit qu'il était ok' m'a complètement retournée #c'était moche comme pirouette #je me disais peut être faire l'escouade de quidams sur le modèle de la légion étrangère ou un truc du genre #on ne regarde pas votre passé mais vous faites ce qu'on vous dit et l'entraînement est draconien #avec le twist que tous les membre sont en réalité des personnes devant être exécutées #on ne mentionne pas le fait que les autres les ai pardonné parce que ce n'est pas le sujet #certes c'est un peu cruel allez à la guerre ou mourrez #mais s'ils devaient déjà être exécutés pour leurs crime de base je pense que ça passerait mieux dans cet univers #allez peut être que lors du tout dernier chapitre un quidam qui a survécu dit qu'il veut allez dans un village qu'il avait pillé auparavant #pour s'excuser #et on fini là dessus #ah je suis en train d'imaginer un truc con #soutien entre Jeritza et Miklan les deux criminels en recherche de rédemption #Jeritza qui se retient de le trucider sur place parce qu'on ne touche pas à la famille enfin ça dépend de laquelle #et miklan qui lui dit qu'il n'est pas meilleur qu'eux parce qu'il a fait des choses pires que lui en tant que bandit pendant qu'il était #général sous l'armée de dedel #3 nopes #french post

OKAY MOCHI. i am so sorry i was going to do this last night when i got off but it was a rough one so here i am bright and early to talk about jean <33

nsfw headcanons for mullet daddy under the cut

F. Favorite position

weirdly enough this one was so hard. i think jean likes anything where he can see you- that doesn't necessarily mean missionary all the time, though. i think he loves when you ride him and has a huge mirror thing (if you couldn't tell by 'pretty girl' lol), like any position that lets him see how good you're feeling and watch how your jaw drops when he hits the right spot. jean also gets pretty rough, so it's a good way for him to check in on you subtly to see how you're feeling

G. Goofy

i feel like jean likes things to stay pretty serious in the bedroom? like, if you bonk your head on something and start giggling he'll laugh too, but jean is really about fully immersing you in what's he's doing to you because it's the best way to get you completely fucked out and crying for him esp with how rough he likes to be.

K. Kink

ok there are some obvious ones u guys have seen in my writing before like dacryphilia, degradation, breeding kink, etc. but i'd like to expand on some of his more...unique ones?? firstly, jean has a daddy kink. like he would never initiate it bc he's a little embarrassed, but if you slip up one time (*cough* pretty girl one shot) and he realizes you like it too??? oh he's all over it. also cockwarming. jean's favorite thing is to cum in you and stay there until he gets hard again, play with your hair and make sure you're alright, etc, and then he's going again, goes hand in hand with the breeding kink obvi. definitely has a size kink as well, that's where his little thing with loving to be able to see you comes in, he loves to see how his hand dwarfs yours, how your body stretches to fit him, how he can manhandle you. def a size kink.

H. Hair

jean likes to be clean-shaven i feel like, he definitely subscribes to that age-old myth that being shaven "makes it look bigger" LOL. like, he's not consistently shaving every time there's a little bit of hair, but he prefers it that way.

for you, i don't think he cares very much? if anything, i think he'd enjoy if you have a little bit of hair. jean strikes me as someone that's very into the idea of a "natural woman", thinks it's sexy when you look as woman as you can, and as any woman knows, body hair is just a part of that.

J. Jack off

weirdly enough, i don't think jean masturbates all that much, especially if he has you around. like, he'll masturbate in the shower, when he's really horny and alone, normal guy stuff. i also hc that jean deeply dislikes porn for some reason. like it's just so fake and he knows how women in porn are often treated and it ruined it for him a long time ago, so if he's jacking off, it's solely with your nudes or his memories/fantasies lol.

S. Stamina

ok jean can last. like not afraid to pull out and slip his fingers in to make you cum just so he can keep going longer and put himself off. he's also a fan of multiple rounds-- like i said earlier, cums inside you and keeps you pinned underneath him, holding you in his arms and being sweet to you for a few precious minutes until you see his eyes darken and feel him getting hard again inside you, and then it's time for round 2. i would say ideally jean wants to cum 2-3 times in one "session" lol so a few rounds, but again, he can hold out for hours. not a quickie guy by any means.

U. Unfair

jean is a huge dirty talker, you know it, i know it, we all know it. it's practically canon at this point. i think his favorite way to rile you up would be to lean down and whisper something in your ear in public, a promise of what he's going to do to you later, what he thinks of your outfit, etc. he's good at it too, to the point where he doesn't need to touch you to tease you, just use his words. absolutely the type to make you take your panties off at an event or at dinner and let him keep them in his pocket.

jean will absolutely punish you for it (unfair!), but he loves when you tease him, especially when you know he can't take you right then and there. a little lingering touch on his upper thigh under the table, bite his bottom lip when he kisses you goodbye for work, anything like that drives him insane and he'll think about it for the rest of the day, and trust me, you're in for it when you get home.

V. Volume

again, huge dirty talker and so good with his words. loves to force you to talk or answer him, or at least try to, especially when he has you so fucked out you can't think straight. asks you questions, what feels good, and we know this from experience, but loves to force you to tell him what you want even when your brain is so dizzy you don't even know what that is.

as far as sounds, jean's a grunter/groaner to me. like he isn't trying too hard not to be vocal, but everything sounds like it just sort of slipped out without him necessarily meaning to. think very deep, rumbling groans from in his chest, little grunting noises esp when you go down on him.

W. Wild card

jean's not a huge roleplay guy, but his favorite thing you ever tried together was the "strangers meeting up at a bar" scenario. he had you get all dolled up and go wait at a fancy bar near your home, and jean approached, acting like he was a total stranger, and picked you up for the night. he still isn't sure why, but it drove him crazy, and now he suggests doing it once a month lol

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

Also don't think anyone has said this (thats a joke) but like, art styles aside:

The animation, expressions, movement, everything of ATSV is IMPECCABLE.

Like insanely, ridiculously, almost mind bogglingly good.

[This is a MEDIUM length post]

The main strength is the Emotion -

In terms of animation, the range of emotions Miguel is capable of expressing is like... crazy good. Gwen's emotions ARE UNSPEAKABLY IMPRESSIVE.

LIKE...ANIMATING HER FUCKING BREATHING???? AND BLINKS!! AS AN EMOTIONAL CUE. HELLO???!!

And the movie hinges on this - almost every scene has an emotional cue that HAS to hit. Whether is Jess's looks of hesitation or Peter B.'s looks of horror.

And this may seem like the most ridiculous comparison ever made but like...

The Bee Movie and Across the Spider-Verse came out FIFTEEN YEARS APART.

THE BEE MOVIE...THIS MONSTRASITY that has plagued humankind - was made less than two decades from THIS:

The fact that we progressed that far as a society (pun intended) in that short of a time will never not baffle me.

I genuinely cannot name any other animated movie that:

Has multiple styles throughout the duration

Can seamlessly change styles without the viewer immediately noticing (like Gwen returning to her universe)

Show two or more animation styles on screen at the same time (and no, Roger Rabbit and Space Jam don't count - that's half live action lol)

Just off the top of my head - ATSV shows up to three styles in one scene: I'm mainly thinking of the scene that shows Hobie (customized - style 1), Peter B. (standard - style 2), and Miguel (a light stylized - style 3).

It can be brought to four if you want to count Miles/Gwen, though their style isn't visible.

I can think of a couple scenes that genuinely blew me away in terms of animation -

One being Rio's 'What-EVER?!' because of the little stance correction and head bob she does, because it's such a natural thing to do. And it adds so much to an already perfect line.

It's something someone would genuinely do IRL without even noticing.

Another I LOVE is Pavitr and Hobie roughhousing.

Like, I can't yell about these five seconds of animation more.

It's SO fluid it looks like Motion-Capture and I left the theatre googling is any Mo-Cap was used in the movie (and from what I can tell - no, it's all original animation).

The way Pavitr falls to the side and bumps them - This not only being a natural reaction to Hobie and his weight, but it also LOOKS natural. So much so you can see it affect Hobie's model too. The movement has kinetic energy on both models -

Which is AMAZING CONSIDERING THEY'RE ANIMATED ON LIKE FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES.

In this shot alone, there's the guitar, vest, AND Hobie, all of which have their own animation rules. Plus the outline on his guitar AND him. And then there PAVI too, who's running at a higher frame rate, touching and interacting with Hobie.

So much so that Hobie's model nearly wraps himself around Pavi. Pavi's hair is moving, Hobie's guitar is moving, there's movement in the background - and it looks GREAT.

PLUS THE CAMERA IS MOVING AND GOSTLING. IT'S NOT A STATIC SHOT. The models and camera are moving AS IF THEY'RE REAL when they're not.

That's - My..I CAN EVEN COMPUTE THAT.

But by far, I think the range of expression used on Miguel is like... Chef's kiss.

(of course I was gonna trick you into reading another post about Miguel. Uh-huh that's what's about to happen)

Like... are you kidding me?

NAH DEADASS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

The whole later half of the movie hinges on Miguel looking buckwild crazy insane and they NAIL that. And like-

Oh my god what the actual fuck

?????????????????????????? I........ I have nothing to add. After that picture......Nah... LMAOOO

(left: actual photo of Moche watching this happen)

But Anyway chile, This movie is like.. genuinely a modern marvel.

If Marvel gave Tim Gunn 4 billion dollars and five years, whatever live-action rendition he would have made would not even compare to ATSV on any conceivable level - that's how good it is so jot that down.

And like...don't even get me started on Hobie..his design..his representation...girl I will start crying in this Arby's do not play with me

I just felt that needed to be said.

you get what I'm saying yall know what I mean iight coo

Here's a picture of Hobie to cleanse your palette.

Bye.

Bonus:

#the boys in the boat #bobby moch x don hume #bobby moch #don hume #the bonus is cause i accidentally paused right when they threw bobby into the water #and the screengrab is so funny

[arokel]

If you’re not swamped with requests, could I please have anything Bobby related with angst or hurt/comfort? 🙏🙏

Maybe Bobby is struggling to bond with the team because they’re very put off by his approach to rowing? (Like this guy sits and screams at them and critiques them all the time in the boat so it makes sense that they don’t like him at first, and Bobby gets it but the crew needs to fully trust their coxswain in order to be successful. And then maybe something happens and the team has to step up and be there for him, or alternatively Bobby does something that puts himself into harms way for them?

Honestly, feel free to do whatever, I’m happy so long as Bobby is in it 🙌

hey! sorry i went a slightly different direction than your prompt - i didn't think i could do it justice in a tumblr-sized fic <3 but this is at least in the spirit of it i think!

Befriending Al's Babies

Words: 1387 Rating: G Notes: this is book canon - aka Bobby, Chuck and Jim were in the varsity boat while Joe, Shorty and Roger were sophomores. Ulbrickson clearly had a soft spot for Joe's boat, which pissed off the varsity guys enough that Bobby created a specific chant about it - BAB, or "Beat A'ls Babies"

Bobby should be thrilled. They've got Rantz now, finally - Bobby knew he was the final piece long before Ulbrickson did, even though the prospect of working against Rantz's uneven technique doesn't fill him with joy - and the boat is flying. It's what Bobby has wanted, what he's known he could have, ever since he saw what that stupid sophomore boat could do last year and knew he could have made them even better.

But instead, there's something nagging at him.

"Alright, Moch, you've been frowning to yourself long enough," Chuck says, jogging slowly beside Bobby as they make their way up from the shell house towards campus. "Tell uncle Chuck and auntie Jim what's got you down when we should be celebrating."

"Why am I auntie?" Jim says. With his long legs he doesn't need to jog to keep up, even though Bobby is striding as purposefully and quickly as he can in the hopes of escaping any conversation.

Chuck is loping now, circling around in front of Bobby with a little backwards dancing step. "Because I don't want to be. Out with it, Bobby. You're no fun when you're moping."

"No one is fun when they're moping," Bobby mutters, but he knows when he's beaten. He keeps walking anyway just to make Chuck jog backwards for a little longer. "It's Morris and Hunt."

Chuck frowns, stumbles, and winces. Serves him right. "What's wrong with Morris? I like sitting behind him. He's steady, never crabs. And Jim likes Hunt, too."

Bobby doesn't want to have this conversation. He never wants to have any conversation about his interpersonal skills or lack thereof, but Chuck and Jim are his friends and they're trying to act like it, too. He can only keep pushing them away for so long before they stop. He sighs, making an about-face towards the water and starting to walk again. If he has to talk feelings, at least he can do it with something to look at besides Chuck or Jim.

"They're fine in the boat. They row well and they listen to what I say. But out of the boat... I don't know. There's something off, like they don't trust me or they don't like me. And I know I'm not exactly a likeable guy -"

"Shut your trap, Moch. Don't fish for compliments," Chuck says cheerfully. He winces a little with each step; he must have tweaked his ankle.

Jim is slightly more understanding, but that might just be because he's not dealing with a minor ankle injury. "Have you considered that maybe, possibly, they're still a little sore about you calling them Al's babies all last season?"

"That's - well - that's true, I guess," Bobby says. It feels like pulling a staple out of his thumb to admit it, but Jim has a point. He keeps walking anyway. "But I'm nice to them now. Outside of the boat."

"Right, because you've never held a grudge in your life."

That's true too, and ordinarily Bobby wouldn't be ashamed to admit that he can nurse a grudge with the best of them, but in this moment he's frustrated and a little bit hurt - both by Roger and Shorty's obvious distance from him and by his friends' ability to brush it off so easily as being all Bobby's fault.

He stomps down the grassy embankment towards the cut and doesn't check to see if they're still following. Maybe it is his fault; people often find his abrasiveness in and out of a shell off-putting. But that's just who he is. Roger and Shorty will just have to deal with it.

"Well there's nothing I can do about it," he says, once scuffing footsteps in the grass behind him have confirmed that he does still have a captive audience for his fit of pique. "I can't go up to them and apologize; it was just smack talk. If they're still mad then that's their issue to fix."

Suddenly there is a hand gripping his bicep to spin him around, knocking him off balance. He sets his jaw as he finds his footing again and glares even further up than usual at Chuck Day.

"Robert Gaston Moch. You can use your grown-up words and tell them hey, all's fair in love and crewing, no hard feelings. It's that easy." Chuck heaves a sigh and releases Bobby's arm, smoothing out the wrinkles left in his sleeve. "They'll like you just fine once you've cleared the air."

It's petty and childish to keep arguing back, but Bobby is petty and childish, and he's so damn frustrated that he can't just feel good about a successful practice, or at the very least sulk about it peacefully in his room.

"It's just that people don't like me, usually, and I'm an asshole most of the time and -" he says, ignoring how his voice has gone tighter with suppressed emotion. Then, even more suddenly, he is hoisted into the air.

Jim, now holding him bridal-style, shakes him gently, like a cat taunting a captive mouse. "Okay, into the lake with you."

"What -"

Before Bobby can question or protest, he's in the water. It's cold - colder even than it usually is for March, and for a second the shock of it leaves him unable to tread water. He recovers quickly enough to glare at Jim without betraying his momentary loss of control and paddles slowly to the bank, gritting his teeth against the icy pins and needles pricking his bare arms.

Jim grins, raising his voice just loud enough to be heard. "Are you ready to take it back?"

Bobby is even less ready now.

"You bastard," he pants as he clambers up onto the grass. "And people call me unpleasant to be around -"

"Haven't learned your lesson yet, I see," Jim says, deceptively pleasant, as he pins Bobby's arms to his sides and hefts him into the air again. Bobby tries to kick out and escape, but Chuck is immediately there to restrain his legs as well.

Voices behind them briefly postpone his soggy fate.

"Are we throwing Moch in the water now? Did we win something?" Roger Morris slopes into view, seemingly unfazed  by Bobby's torment. Then his dark brows come down in concern and displeasure. "Shit, he's shivering. Are you guys hazing him? Weren't you on varsity together?"

Bobby feels his face burning with embarrassment and anger despite the shivers. Of all the people to come to his defense, to see him when he looks this pathetic at the hands of his so-called friends - of course it's one of the two guys who currently like him least.

"I'm fine. I don't need anyone babying me," he says. He realizes his unfortunate wording immediately, but it's too late.

Roger grins. "That's odd; I thought we were the babies."

Bobby grits his teeth and looks away. He won't snap back. If Chuck and Jim are right, he'd only be making things worse. He can be the bigger person, even if his jaw hurts with how much he's holding back. It's not fair -

"Don't look so hang-dog, Moch, we know it was all just talk," Roger says, with an audible roll of the eyes. "We were just letting you stew in it for a bit before we forgave you all the way. You're too good of a cox to stay mad at forever."

"And Rantz?"

It's still spoken through gritted teeth; Bobby can't forgive that easily either. But he feels a little less cold anyway.

Roger shrugs. "Joe will forgive anyone anything, poor man. You can ask him yourself. Anyway, we're middle children now, just like McMillin and Day. We're all grown up and mature; holding grudges is beneath us."

Jim turns a laugh into a cough.

"Oh, I like him," Chuck says, delighted. "Morris, I think you and I are going to be great friends."

He gently lowers Bobby's legs until Bobby's feet can find purchase on the ground again, and once Bobby is steady Jim, too, lets go with an encouraging back-pat.

"That's good to hear, because you've lost me as a friend after today," Bobby says sullenly.

Chuck pouts. "Aw, no, Bobby, I like you too. You're a likeable guy; isn't he, Roger?"

"We'll see," Roger says, but his faint smile goes at least a little way to soothing Bobby's wounded pride.

Très vs Trop vs Super vs Vraiment in French

Let's set the scene : You're talking to your friend, she shows you her new art piece and you say "C'est très beau !" to say "It's so pretty !". And for a few seconds she looks a bit disappointed.

(This might sound a bit exaggerated but if a friend of mine, a native French speaker*, says "c'est très beau !" to me, I might assume that :

they're saying that ironically because it's such a strange way to say "it's so pretty !".

they think that I'm under the age of 8 and I'm bothering them - "c'est très beau, now go play with the other children")

(If your friend knows you're not French, she'll understand what you mean, don't worry)

So then, what should you say ?

First, let's take a look at "très"

1. Très // Very :

If you are writing a thesis/sending an email to French clients/talking to your boss etc…using "très" to say "very" is the way to go.

BUT we don't actually use it that much orally in the day to day life in exclamative sentences such as "It's very + adj ! "

Note 1 : Surprisingly if you want to say "It's not very + adj ! " you can still use "très".

Exemple n° 1 et 2 : "C'est pas très bon !" // "It's not very tasty !" "C'est pas très pratique ! " // "It's not very practical !"

In text messages or orally, whenever you want to say "It's very + adj !" I would suggest you forget about "très" and use the other expressions I'll mention in this post. Note 2 : You cannot use the word "très" with every adjective ! - La maison est très belle. La maison est très magnifique. - La soupe est très bonne. La soupe est très délicieuse. [This website lists adjectives you can use to avoid saying "très". The adjectives on the left can be used with "très", the ones on the right cannot.]

2. Trop // Too :

"Trop" can be translated as "too" or "too much"

Exemple n°3 : "Mon café est trop sucré". // "My coffee is too sweet"

BUT NOW. If we go back to our great example : Your friend shows you her art piece. A possible answer is :

"C'est trop beau !" (lit. translation :" it's too pretty").

"C'est + trop + adj ! " is a very common way to say "it's very + adj ! ". Note 1 : It's quite informal ! Be careful whom you use it with !, (I was scolded as a child for using it)

Note 2 : This only works with the adjectives mentionned below ! If you use any other adjectives like "hot" for example : "l'eau est trop chaude" will mean that the water is too hot. (I guess you could also think of "trop" in this context as "so") Note 3 : "Trop" can also be used in the following structure : "Subject + [être] + TROP + Adj" - Beau/belle : C'est trop beau ! // It's so pretty ! (C'est trooooop beau ! // It's soooo pretty ! ) Elles sont trop belles ! // They are so pretty ! - Cool : C'est trop cool ! // It's so cool ! Mon chat est trop cool ! // My cat is so cool ! - Chiant : (!!!bad word alert!!!) C'est trop chiant ! // It's so fucking annoying ! Mon frère est trop chiant. // My brother is such a pain in the ass. - Moche : C'est trop moche ! // It's so/very ugly ! Ce tableau est trop moche. // This painting is so/very ugly. - Bien : C'est trop bien ! // it's so great ! Ce film est trop bien ! // This movie is really great ! - Sympa : C'est trop sympa de ta part ! Merci ! // It's so nice of you! Thank you! Mes amies sont trop sympas ! // My friends are so nice !

Note 4 : Saying "c'est cool ", "c'est beau ", "c'est bien", "c'est sympa" sounds quite passive-aggressive in French. ("c'est chiant", on the other hand works perfectly on its own, don't worry) Note 5 : Those are the most common adjectives that you can use with "trop" . I cannot think of any other adjectives but there might be some more ! The use of "Trop" is really common but informal. What should you say if you don't want to say "trop" and don't want to use "très" either ? -> You can use "super" or "vraiment"

3. Super : You might have seen it translated as "Great". When used in the exclamative sentence "Super !" or before a noun , it does indeed mean "great". But if it is used before an adjective, it becomes synonymous with "really" or "very"!

Exemple n°4 : "Il fait super chaud dehors !" // It's really hot outside !

4. Vraiment : "Super" is a bit more formal than "trop" yet if you're talking to the big boss, "vraiment" would be better.

C'est trop beau ! < C'est super beau ! < C'est vraiment beau !

Note 1 : "Vraiment" literally means "truly". Yet, I feel like in some situations we use this one in French the way English speakers use "really".

Exemple n°5 : "C'est vraiment énervant, j'arrive pas à utiliser ce logiciel" // "It's really/truly annoying, I can't figure out how to use this computer program."

Note 2 : While "trop" and "super" are informal, you can use "vraiment" in both formal and informal settings.

Exemple n°6 : "T'es vraiment chiant !" // "You're really/truly a pain in the ass !" (You could also say "t'es trop chiant !" ou "t'es super chiant !")

5. A few more examples and 3 mores words to say "very"

Exemples n°7 et 8 : "Il fait super froid dehors aujourd'hui ! " // "It's really cold outside today !" "38 euros ? Putain, c'est super cher ! " // " 38 euros ? Fuck, that's really exprensive !" Some people also use "méga" "archi" or "giga" to say "very " , (those 3 are informal as well)

Exemples n°9 , 10 et 11

"Il fait méga chaud dehors ! " // "It's really really hot outside !" "J'ai archi faim !" // "I'm really really hungry" "J'ai giga soif !" // "I'm really really really thirsty" You can try this little test I made about this post here ! * from mainland France

Alrighty folks. I present to you:

Go Ahead and Throw Your Stones

Fandom: The Boys in the Boat (2023)

Characters: Bobby Moch, Don Hume, Joe Rantz, Shorty Hunt, Jim McMillin, Johnny White, Gordy Adam, Chuck Day, Roger Morris, Al Ulbrickson

The Varsity rowers have been annoyed with the JV rowers for a while. When three of them catch Bobby alone, they decide to take their anger out on him.

Prepare for some Bobby WHUMP!! I will warn that there’s violence. It’s not graphic, but it is there.

Bobby walked out of the shellhouse, pulling his jacket closer to him. He had decided to take a walk after practice. The January weather had been cold, but the last few days had been a little warmer than it had been. Practice had been a bit rough that day, as Ulbrickson had been trying to get the varsity boat prepared for the upcoming races, hoping to get them to Olympic qualifiers. They had been racing the JV boat as practice, but the JV continued to beat the varsity. As satisfying as it was for Bobby and the boys to beat the varsity boat, it of course ended with Ulbrickson giving them a stern talk; and earning the JV rowers glares from the varsity rowers. Bobby liked the varsity rowers well enough, but the more often his boys beat them, the more tense things got between the varsity boat and the JV boat. More often than not, comments were made in the locker room after practices, which Roger claimed rooted from jealousy. Bobby snorted. It wasn’t their fault they were the better rowers, in his own humble opinion. The varsity boat was definitely good, no doubt about it. But he had to agree there was something different about the boys he coxed. He thought the varsity boat just needed to grow a pair and let it go; a thought he of course had no problem voicing to them. It probably wasn’t the smartest idea, but after the comments they had made towards his boys, he had had enough of their attitudes.

As he walked near the water, he stopped to catch his breath. He leaned against a tree as a coughing fit started- that darn cold air, he thought. He usually stayed inside as much as possible when it was cold, but he felt like he needed the air today- despite what it did to his asthmatic lungs. When the coughing fit finally ended, he sat down underneath the tree. He stood up a minute later as he heard footsteps approaching, figuring Joe and Roger had come to let him know dinner was almost ready. Great, he thought as he turned around to find that it was not Joe and Roger. Instead, he saw Billy, George, and Ralph approaching him- the stroke and seats 3 and 4 of the varsity boat. Bobby forced a smile and waved.
