All the terminology relating to tech and the Internet is English, and one of the endearing features of the French public broadcasting in Canada is that every time they use an English neologism they have to immediately perform a ritual penance where they apologize and grope for a French translation, whether sanctioned or improvised, and so this comes up all the time in that context.

Often this is sort of dry but when the English word is already stupid it has a lot of comic potential. I've previously heard "doomscrolling" translated as défilement morbide, which is already great -- you must understand that the speakers grab at these terms like drowning sailors grasping for floating debris -- but today I heard it translated as défilement funeste, which is just impossibly charming

Things I aspire to always keep in mind:

If you base your entire self-image on being good at one thing or a member of one community or possessing an unusual amount of one trait you will, inevitably, have a Very Bad Time when (not if) that ceases being true.

The amount of effort, care and pride you put into a creative work has - not no but certainly very limited correlation with the amount absolutely anyone else will care. The piece of art that gets 10k notes will be the warmup sketch you post on a whim, not your masterpiece.

tumblr communities is awful. I clicked the tab and the first thing I saw was a group totally and fully dedicated to sharing edited photographs of me being torn apart by the dog-faced goatman

"imagine them in their underwear" is weird sanitised advice for people who think the most debased thing someone can be is naked, but not so naked that they're morally discomforting. what you have to do, if you want stage presence, is imagine them as your soulless undead army

Honestly, if you ever see a manga character and think "Damn, their style is dope as fuck" 9 times out of 10 their fit comes directly out of a fashion magazine. Sailor Moon was wearing Dior. JoJo was wearing Missoni.

Not to downplay the skill of the artists adapting those styles to their characters, but that is why the drip is so clean.
