Truth to be told it probably happened at least once in Groland. It's a satirical program after all. Not that I want to belittle your translation though, because it's really good actually ❢ That's just a little detail that kinda has a different impact for people who don't speak French, at least in the eyes of native French speakers.
It's just that "ta gueule" is really strong, it's not tolerated in class and most kid shows don't even use it, hence why people are suggesting "shut the fuck up" for a similar impact, but even this translation wouldn't be ideal. "La ferme" is closer of "can it" I believe. "Ta gueule" is more like a variation of "shut up" that doesn't necessarily include a swear word (it's "ta gueule", not "ta gueule PUTAIN" after all), so something like like "shut your mouth" or something cruder would have probably worked better in the eyes of certain people (I am however guilty of swearing like a sailor in English so I actually struggle to find swear-free alternatives to things – a perk from learning English through random internet users – thus my translation isn't good but I've tried).
I'm not claiming my translation is better than yours ; I just wanted to share the thought process that a bunch of people probably had. You did great in general and I don't want to take away from that. I guess it just felt a little jarring for native French speakers but I wanted to try to understand why it was getting such a reaction. And um. Yeah.
This meme is inescapable on French insta so I'm posting it here for all to enjoy

at this point i need you people to understand that if you can't see riize in positive light, leave them ALONE. psychoanalyzing their every move, every speech, every message is getting crazy.

"You're pretty new at this whole relationship thing, huh?"
"... Yeah."
#outer range s2#outer range s2 spoilers#outer range 02x01#maria olivares#rhett abbott#isabel arraiza#lewis pullman#rhett x maria#um... idk i love them#but why would they do this to me? it's gonna sting so much when they break up#her teasing him is my favorite thing#but also her calling him ''wonderful''? my god the squeal i let out...#the smallest little smile and the way he looked at her before he said ''good'' after she said she likes how she feels when she's with him?!#now i'm rhett going ''don't do this'' but instead of with his truck it's with the show#my biggest gripe is that she doesn't help him that much with his broken arm... except maybe to help him shower? /hj#i get why he was the one to get the snacks... it was for the impact of the scene but still#it's great to see them laughing and smiling so much! love that!#i think she smiled at least once while her poor boyfriend was getting freaked out by cats#he could not keep a straight face for that long after saying ''what does that leave me?''#i wonder what he was gonna say before she said she liked how she feels when she's with him... was he giving her an out?#he has NOTHING pleasant to say about her not even a ''thank you'' after being called wonderful smh /j#tw: food?#my girl didn't even say ''bless you'' when he starting sneezing :(#i switched the last picture because i like the way they were smiling at each other when he got onto the bed#after maria laughs in the car after the buffalo run past them i think i can hear the lowest ''so are we-'' or ''sorry''?#and i think that may be because lew thought isa broke character?? but i'm not too sure... maybe it's rhett apologizing#but idk? maybe it's just rhett saying sorry because he felt self-conscious about maybe sounding stupid... or maybe i'm just hearing things#i think the way he even said ''okay'' after she took all the snacks was similar to the way she said it before she grabbed the snacks#look i understand not getting a shower scene but they truly robbed me of seeing rhett and maria with wet hair...#just another little nitpick but i think the ''i like who i am when i'm with you'' would hit harder if we saw maria in scenes without rhett

new plans, matt sturniolo smau synopsis: coming home for the holidays has its perks; you get to see your childhood best friends again, you get to spend the holidays with the people you’ve always loved, and the list goes on. of course, it also had its cons— you have to face your best friend, matt, the one that you’re madly in love with and have been in love with since you were merely thirteen. little do you know, though, that he’s dealing with the same mixed emotions of you and the holidays; biting his nails as he waits for you to knock on his front door.

neeeeed ppl to not be so afraid hc characters over like. 25. i’m sorry but from srtt onwards y’all gotta start admitting some of these characters are in their 30s. you will never be able to convince me that kinzie and the dewynter sisters are anything but 30-32. pierce and johnny gotta be in their early 30s by srtt. if you look me in the eyes and say asha odekar is like 23 i’m gonna smack you

Ah, so it's legitimate suckery and not just any bias I may have
Tumblr media
"Crackstone Crypt". Huh. I guess they just really needed an editor. *forgives*
✨four short paragraphs later✨
Tumblr media
Oh. Not an editor. Needs a whole ass English lesson.
Tumblr media
ETA: It persists throughout. This author legit forced "Crackstone Crypt", not "Crackstone's crypt":
Tumblr media
and that provides for some awkward af reading. It's bad writing over a misconstruction:
Tumblr media
What is wrong with them? 🤦🏽‍♂️

this is such a good video PERFECTLY encapsulating why exactly so much of the hellaverse fandom is outrageously vitriolic. great analysis of the release structure and how that impacts fandom expectations. valid critiques but also an acknowledgement that hazbin/helluva are uniquely torn to SHREDS for things that they did not cause/are not the sole perpetrators of. highly recommend everyone check out this video as we get closer to hazbin's release

Absolutely bonkers that we're now living in a world where people are holding up Cyberpunk 2077 to other video games and CYBERPUNK is the positive one in the comparison. (x)

the journey of a writer is you begin writing just for the sake of writing and often hand wave details that aren't that important to you to get to the fun bits. then you decide you want to improve and you go through a rigorous process of thinking about lots of mechanics and abiding by sense and rationality, because the most damning insult to a piece of fiction is testing the reader's suspension of disbelief too much. this level of self criticism then colors the interpretation of other texts as well, where they are held to a particular standard where every detail must be perfectly logical, well researched, and contain no contradictions (cinema sins, if you will). nirvana is when you realize that doesn't matter and you go back to hand waving details that aren't that important to you.
#kat chats#i know i complained on my priv twitter abt smth like this but i just saw ANOTHER post of this caliber#i'm SO close to doing a deep dive on the suspension of disbelief and its merit as a method of literary criticism#spoiler alert i feel very strongly that if your criticism could be easily suspended through narrative buy in its not a valid critique#or at the very least the buck Does Not Stop at you not believing the author. you have to answer the question why#'it's not compelling because i'm not immersed' ok. why. what's broken the immersion#like. idk. sometimes there are interesting discussions to be had wrt narrative risk vs narrative payoff vs suspension of disbelief#and the fact of the matter is some narrative risk on the part of the author can lead to MUCH greater pay off#can lead to truly affecting art#and sometimes the narrative risk does not have a high enough reward to justify itself#sometimes this happens for only some people and other times this happens for large swathes of the population#shaping what literature we societally say is Good vs Bad#it's a good discussion to have in craft circles and to be aware of#but ultimately stories without narrative risk are almost meaningless. if they're even stories at all#and also sometimes your issue with suspension of disbelief comes down to pedantry#and forgive me but being a pedant does not make for good literary criticism#actually it makes you incredibly bad at it#you can't see the forest for the trees. you cant see the story for the extremely niche nitpicks that do nothing but buff your own ego#remind yourself that reading is not just a self indulgent exercise. you are entering a conversation where you have to listen for a long tim#and you must make meaning of all those words#you are not required to continue going through something that doesn't speak to you#anyways...

hope that for wicked part 2 they realize doing the color grading to be ~so~ realistic and bad was like a fun experiment but they’re actually going to make it look good this time and not so super washed out and ugly lol

Someone had the nerve to like and reblog my pinned post and when I went on their page was like “if you’re a usamerican or believe in transgenderism dni.”
So to respect their boundaries, I blocked their ass.
