dragonriders

La formation de dragonnier dure 5 ans et permet d'intégrer l'armée de l'air d'Elysium. Accessible à partir de dix-huit ans, il s’agit d’une formation éprouvante, tant physiquement que mentalement pour ces apprentis soldats se retrouvant régulièrement confrontés aux terribles wyrms et autres monstres nés des vortex générés par Aevrayth, le dévoreur de mondes (cf. bestiaire). La défense de l'île contre ces créatures reposant principalement sur l'armée de l'air, des tests d’endurance physique et mentaux doivent être passés avant de s’inscrire aux sélections rigoureuses.

Skyline pour Megaverse

quartier des affaires, Elysium

Les tours élancées incrustées de runes magiques rivalisent avec les étoiles dans le ciel nocturne où la magie se mêle harmonieusement à l'architecture moderne. Dans les étages supérieurs, les bureaux dominent l'horizon, leurs façades de verre reflétant la lumière du soleil. La nuit venue, le quartier s'illumine d'une lueur enchantée, alors que des sortilèges d'éclairage colorés illuminent les bâtiments et que les tours semblent prendre vie. De temps en temps, des dragons de feu survolent le quartier, leurs ailes battant avec puissance alors qu'ils transportent des cargaisons précieuses vers les entrepôts magiques dissimulés dans les hauteurs des gratte-ciel.

Ceci est fait dans le cadre d'un usage personnel, et l'intégralité de l'équipe de Megaverse condamne fermement l'usage de l'intelligence artificielle pour tout emploi commercial aux détriments de réel·le·s artistes.e.

[1-forall]

Toronto, 1er février 2049+  L'inspecteur de police regardait les quatre cadavres sur les tables d'autopsie : une étudiante, un cuisinier, une avocate et un peintre en bâtiment. Quatre personnes que rien, en apparence, ne semblait relier. Toustes originaires de milieux différents, mais toustes mort·te·s d'un arrêt cardiaque à la même heure alors qu'iels étaient chez elleux, un casque de réalité virtuelle, très à la mode depuis des années, sur la tête. Les expert·te·s informatiques venaient tout juste de l'informer de la découverte récente d'un lien entre les défunts : un jeu indépendant baptisé "One For All". Connu pour offrir une expérience de vie virtuelle unique en son genre et permettant à ses utilisateur·ice·s d'éprouver toutes sortes de sensations plus vraies que nature telles que la douleur, la faim, le plaisir ou encore la peur pour sa vie, One For All, semblait avoir intégré une fonctionnalité supplémentaire que personne n'avait jusqu'à maintenant découverte. Derrière l'offre alléchante et bien réelle d'un monde dans lequel tout est possible, un monde dans lequel la seconde chance est permise, se cachait en réalité une règle gardée secrète : si le personnage incarné venait à perdre toutes ses vies, alors, saon joueur·se périrait aussi. Ainsi, les quatre personnes étendues face à l'inspecteur étaient pareilles à quelque Icar moderne, à avoir voulu voler trop près du soleil, iels en avaient payé le prix fort.

Le détective lisait maintenant le descriptif du jeu sur l'une des nombreuses plateformes le proposant au téléchargement. "Êtes-vous prêt à découvrir qui vous êtes vraiment ? One For All vous offre la chance d'être qui vous désirez, sans limites. Gloire et pouvoir aux plus fort·e·s, les restes et la mort pour les plus faibles." Dans ce jeu, pas d'offre premium risquant de favoriser les plus riches, chacun·e devrait faire ses preuves comme les autres. Son rapport finalement terminé, l'inspecteur le fit remonter jusqu'au chef du département de la Police, qui avec un sourire, lui annonça qu'il délirait, qu'un simple jeu vidéo ne pouvait pas être la cause du décès. L'affaire fut classée. Du moins officiellement, car ces quatre mort·te·s qui n'étaient pas les premier·ère·s, ne furent pas non plus les dernier·ère·s et si tout avait commencé sur des bêta-testeur·se·s sur les premières versions, de plus en plus de joueur·se·s lambdas étaient concerné·e·s. Aujourd'hui One For All est sous surveillance et si son aspect meurtrier en est la cause principale, ce n'est pas la seule car  l'addiction générée par le jeu, souvent démesurée, est également particulièrement inquiétante voir elle-même mortelle.

Alors, allez-vous télécharger le jeu, mettre votre casque et vous joindre à l'aventure ?

Disco Elysium, but they're Quebecois French instead of European French. I realize this AU still wouldn't work because the religious basis of these swears does not exist in the DE universe lol. I just think it would be funny if they talked like northeastern Ontario francophones. Bonus original sketch of the pigs one under cut.

[anastasiaoftheironwood]

"For more than a decade, the French city of Lille’s Palais des Beaux-Arts — which was inaugurated in 1892 and is home to France’s second largest collection behind only the Louvre — has deployed a kind of “museo-therapy” that uses the museum space and the treasures held within it to help treat patients from local hospitals.

But in September 2023, this initiative became a little more formal when it signed an agreement with the University Hospital Center of Lille (CHU) to offer 140 museum art therapy sessions over a year to patients who have been given a “museum prescription” by doctors, making it one of the most significant programs of its kind in the world.

The idea of a museum prescription, which fits under an umbrella of out-of-hospital, nonclinical treatment known as social prescribing, is that exposure to art and culture or history can complement, accelerate or potentially even displace some forms of medical care in traditional settings — in an effective, enjoyable and low-cost manner.

Further afield, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has worked with the Francophone Doctors of Canada association since 2018 to offer a form of museum prescriptions, albeit without Lille’s art therapy aspect. In Brussels, Belgium, doctors in one of the city’s largest hospitals have been prescribing museum visits to patients suffering from depression, stress and anxiety since 2022 — and this year that expanded to 18 “medical structures” and 13 museums in the city. Singapore has run an Arts for Healing Program connecting patients with offerings at local music schools and community gardens since 2021. The newly formed advocacy group Social Prescribing USA aims to make social prescribing available to every American by 2035, building on projects already running in Massachusetts and New Jersey."

Alastor - Historical Trivia And Headcanons

Alastor was a mixed-race Creole man living in New Orleans, and was in his 30's/40's when he died in 1933. We don't know much else about him, but historical context can provide us with possible additional details:

The population of New Orleans in 1930 was 458,762, more than it is now. 27.2% of the people were black, 3.1% were foreign-born, and roughly half of America's bipoc population was unemployed thanks to the Great Depression. New Orleans' original Francophonication was still strong, and it was common to run into locals who only spoke French dialects (Cajun French, Louisiana Creole). The city has had a huge Chinatown, a small Little Italy, and multiple other districts known for their immigrant African/colonized French cultures.

The Jim Crow laws were heavily enforced, as was the 'One Drop' rule. If Alastor was a mixed race black man, he would not have been able to attend a white school, use the same public transport, and would have shopped at black-local stores and restaurants under threat of violence. If he was mixed with any other race, some Jim Crow laws didn't apply, but state or city laws might specify differently.

Just because Alastor wears a suit, it doesn't mean he was rich in life. Radio personalities often didn't earn a fortune. Unless he owned his own broadcast, he was paid by a private company for long shifts of hosting music, news, and radio plays. In 1930, 40% of households owned at least one radio, which means that a popular radio host would have been easily recognized.

If he was in his late 30's in 1933, he might have fought in WW1, so long as he was over the age of 21. Some cities gave veterans small benefits, or encouraged the community to give them jobs. This often did not include veterans of color.

New Orleans was famous for being one of the least Christian cities in America, thanks to its unique immigrant and slave population. Haitian-based faiths and practices (such as voudo), indigenous cultures, Asian Buddhism, and atheism were common. But Christianity was still the official, law-enforced religion. Schooling involved reading the Bible, laws were sworn to Jesus, etc.

Alastor's outfit in Hazbin Hotel isn't very accurate to real-life American men's fashions of the time. Back then, deviating from the norm with the smallest detail would have stuck out like a sore thumb - like his white-lined lapels. Men always wore a hat. They were allowed to go without a waistcoat, but not a jacket. Belts were becoming more popular than suspenders. The silhouette was bulkier than the slimmer, Italian cuts of our modern times, especially the pants. Hair was kept short, and oiled down in a side part. Americans preferred the clean shaven look. Ties were essential unless you were a blue-collar laborer. Colors were almost universally muted neutral tones for everyday wear. The most colorful textiles for men were sporting outfits, like a tennis jacket.

If Alastor was a middle-class single man, he likely would have lived in an inner-city apartment, in an ethnic neighborhood. He probably didn't own a car, and took public transit like the streetcars. If he owned a house, it would likely have been an inheritance, and even the more opulent houses of the time would have looked small and plain to our eyes.

Because of the Great Depression, unmarried men were becoming the norm, rather than the exception. Men of the community who were sought after but remained single were suspect to gossip, but less ire than you might think; in the '30s, American queer culture was going through a very sharp revival, escaping the rigid Victorian era and before the puritan 40's/50's. But as a mixed-race man, it may have been illegal for a white woman to marry him, as the Jim Crow laws forbade the marriage of white people and Black/Asian people.

A middle class city household would have had electricity, gas heating, indoor plumbing, but may not have had running taps or a gas stove. Even with decent means, Alastor might have been using a potbelly woodburning stove, a dry sink/washbasin, wooden bathtub, and did his own laundry instead of sending it to the neighborhood laundresses. He may or may not have bothered with an icebox. Fresh groceries needed to be cooked and eaten soon, as things like pasteurized milk or store refrigeration wasn't a thing.

If he had enough money, then he almost certainly hired maids or other servants. Whether the maid came over just once a week, or did the shopping and laundry every other day, hired help was much more common back then, especially if he had no wife.

The most popular musicians in 1933 were Bing Crosby, George Olsen, and Leo Reisman. As you might have noticed, it was trendy for the lead singer to be backed by an orchestra, not a 'band' of just four other people like today. The most popular radio shows were Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, and Doc Savage. They were recordings the radio station would buy and then broadcast, or sometimes the actors were live on the air. The radio host was usually not the journalist - the production team was responsible for writing his script.

[MWN is Moroccan Media]

French President Emmanuel Macron causes another controversy, saying French is the “true African language” that can help African countries reach unity.[...]

While speaking this week at an event on Francophone heritage, Macron went as far as to claim that French is “the pan-African” language. However, he acknowledged that French is slowly losing its grip as a de facto language in many African countries.

“In the Maghreb countries, they speak less and less French compared to 20 or 30 years ago,” Macron said with an air of disappointment.

The French president went on to provide his personal analysis of the reasons underpinning the decline of Francophone heritage. “There are forms of resistance (to the French language) that are seemingly political,” Macron said. [...]

Noting a third factor directly responsible for the decline of the French language status in Africa, he explained that “there is a will [to] revive other languages, saying that this [is] how we can find a political path.”

The remarks on reviving other languages infuriated social media users as this indicates that the French president is criticizing Africa for the growing number of movements calling for reinstituting national languages and preserving them from extinction.

Hi! I am currently learners French and I was wondering if you have any tips or something to help 😭😭😭

Hellooo! Learning french for me was definitely an uphill battle and I would say the type of thing that gets harder before it gets easier. Just for context on my personal situation learning French: I took french all the way through high school, studied super duper hard for the B2 exam and then managed to pass. It was through this that I was able to apply to french universities and got accepted at Sorbonne University where ALL my courses are french. Being at a french school, having to read advanced texts practically every day, and of course living in Paris - I reached C1 (and this took me about a year and a half). Please take this into consideration in terms of setting realistic goals for yourself. Here are my tips for fluency:

1.) Read A LOT!!! Through reading you’ll be able to see french grammar in context, the general structure of the language, figures of speech, and of course expand vocabulary. It goes without saying that learning a language is learning a culture - there are many faucets of francophone culture expressed through literature which provide helpful insight for non francophones. Here are my recommendations according to language level.

Beginner (A1-A2)

Le Petit Prince d’Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - this is a stable of french culture and very simple children’s novella to read. A book every French child has read.

Le Petit Nicolas - another children’s book which I think gives really good insight into french upbringing, and primary school experience. I found it to be a stark contrast from anything that I had experienced.

Any thing from Français Facile, as you reach A2 the focus will be more on basic grammar and I find those books to be quite good in terms of the hyper specificity that requires, ie if you’re learning imparfait vs passé composé there is probably a book tailor made for that.

Intermediate (B1-B2):

French translation of originally [insert your first language]. I know this may seem strange, but I think it’s a helpful in between step to see how your language translates into french, and I found generally it was easier to read weirdly?? (As someone who was reading a lot of English to French translations, guess is that since the translation is limited to English lexicon which is smaller than french, the translation itself would be a much simpler version of french lol). This can be any book, as long as it’s at your reading level in your native tongue

L’étranger d’Albert Camus

Le peintre de la vie moderne de Charles Baudelaire

Manette Salomon des frères Goncourt

Magazines, newspapers, journals!! Again great insight into francophone culture and current affairs.

At B2 level you should be able to read anything, so anything you can get your hands on, READ!

2.) Study the grammar. Get it down. All the laborious things (gender of nouns, use of subjonctif, conditional tense, COD/COI, etc, etc) — learn it and master. This cannot be skipped, you cannot cut corners in this regard. Put your head down and do it.

3.) Once you’ve gotten to A2/B1 — speak as much as possible. If there are conversation classes available, go to them. Try to find people online to practice with if IRL is not an option but it is important to practice speaking.

4.) Listen to French music, watch french language films. There’s french music in all genres and music taste is super subjective lol. I personally love the music from the 60s/70s - Jacques Brel, Serge Gains, Jane B, Francoise Hardy, Michel Legrand, Barbara (my recommendations lol). Of course if you’re not into that there’s pop, rap, Afro beats, classical, etc., etc. My favourite french films are Cléo 5 à 7, La Piscine, Le Samouraï, Les demoiselle de Rochefort, La Religieuse, La Chinoise, Plein Soleil— just a few that come to mind. Of course taste is super subjective, so just find what you like!

There are all my tips for learning french (or really any language). Hope it was helpful!!

UAAC Session Call for Papers: Left in the Dark

Anna O'Meara, University of Victoria, aomeara20@gmail.com

Panel Session | Session de panel

As Martin Jay explores in Downcast Eyes, metaphors for sight broadly relate to empirical understanding. What kinds of understandings are associated with darkness or shades of black? The dark has diverse transhistorical associations, including black out protests; black holes (Anish Kapoor); race/colorism; chiaroscuro; infinity and cosmos (Malevich); protection (Hinduism); femininity (Taoism); inner light (Kabbalah); and eternal spirit (Jacques-Louis David). While various and sometimes contradictory, certain trends appear somewhat consistently, especially the presence of ontological questions in association with darkness and the shade of black. This session encourages papers that explore transnational and transhistorical themes of darkness in relation to questions of being and nothingness. We welcome sessions both within art and art history and from a variety of disciplines that employ art historical or artistic approaches. We accept both Francophone and Anglophone proposals. This is an in-person session.

MALEMA: REPLACE COLONIAL LANGUAGES WITH SWAHILI

One of the most enduring traces of colonialism in Africa is the use of the languages of the former colonisers as official languages. We even refer to parts of the continent as Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone.

Many, including Julius Malema, leader of South Africa’s Freedom Fighters Party (EFF), say this has to stop. In this video, Malema argues that colonial languages should be replaced by the Swahili language, which is spoken by more than 200-million across East and Central Africa.

Malema does not just speak but backs his words with action. In the EFF’s 2024 election manifesto, the party had promised to ensure that all South African universities offered a Swahili-language degree programme.

POWERFUL brother....

about me

Hi, everyone/ Hola a todos / Salut!

i like many things, that i usually like to discuss with other people.

Mandatory Latina ask: do Matt feel American as in part of one of the Americas? Part of the New World? Mexico and Cuba would try and explain they are all American and Alfred feels The New World™ on a Manifest Destiny kind of philosophy but do Matt feels some kindship with his friend Cuba and Caribbean commonwealth brothers and Latinos and former or current French colonies nations?

This is a fascinating question because it's a D.) all of the above. Question if this was multiple choice.

I think, in the year of our lord 2023, he would probably call himself a North American and think of himself as a part of the New World, but usually, that definition for Canadians silently includes some of the South Pacific, so that doesn't make a whole lot of goddamn sense either. North Americans in a different way than the Americans but not as much the Pan-American sense of America. And that's very new. There's a small spurt of French Canadians considering themselves Latin Americans in the early 19th century with our revolt against the British and nationalism that corresponded with some participation of individuals in the wars of independence and other conflicts in South America. Matt had a moment before anglophone domination took over that he might have seen a future in that sort of Pan-American definition of American, but it was done by the 1830s.

After that, it was the British Empire. He defines himself by participating in that imperial system, not the French and not a sense of being North American until after WW1. And even then, it took until NAFTA in the early 90s for an actual large-scale cultural flow with the mainland. Cuba and the Caribbean are a little different because the trade relationship was there. Halifax was the main port for centuries, but it's still... it's an odd relationship. Suppose I look at the British Empire in Africa. In that case, it's easy to see how that would work because the Canadians played a small but very bluntly colonialist role in multiple conflicts. With the Caribbean, there's some exchange of people and trade. However, it's from an early enough date that Canada is still kind of too shitty and underdeveloped to have an oppressive relationship from the very get-go. Still, there is a lot of fuckery in there. I will say I think it's a bit easier than it might otherwise be as Black Canadians were politically organized in the late 19th and early 20th century, and that, amongst other forces, largely blunted our own want for a mini-empire in our sphere the way NZ and Australia did with island ports in their own neighbourhood. There's an alternate universe where Canada fought the Falklands War. So I think Matt gets along with them, but I'm not sure there's a sense of kinship so much as comradery in an 'oh fuck what'd the limeys/yanks/frogs/Spaniards/Portuguese do this time.'

Born a francophone, he has... it's a weird relationship he's got with the rest of the Francophonie. I don't think he feels a sense of kinship at all. Friendly, sure, increasingly interested in them, yes. But French Canadians, particularly the Quebecois, are pretty proud and tend to think of themselves as entirely different from France or Belgium. And despite what the Quebecois nationalists would say in the 1970s, we really cannot compare our history with, say, Algeria's or Vietnam's. And Matt is really aware of that. He was way more privileged under Arthur than practically anyone was under Francois.

He's not unique by any means. There's been middling anti-social sorts in every empire since the Akkadians, but he's just kinda everywhere and nowhere. He and Cuba have definitely had a relationship. Like, I don't believe it, but there's a reason there's a conspiracy that Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son and not Pierre's lmao. If nothing else, Cucan has had some good sex. I think he gets along with Maria (my friend's Mexico) really well too. It doesn't help that he's not the most extroverted type either. He's such a weirdo I'm so sorry to whoever has to interact with him or us as a country lmao.
