Memory says of the event: it once was and now it will never be again. The irremediable character of what has no present, of what is not even there as having once been there, says: it never happened, never for a first time, and yet it starts over, again, again, infinitely. It is without end, without beginning. It is without a future.
Maurice Blanchot, The Space of Literature, trans. Ann Smock

Here is my Turning Red OC.
Meet Béatrice Demers, a shy Franco-Ontarian girl who has recently moved to Toronto with her family. She lives with her parents and younger brother, Étienne, and although she’s a bit quiet at first, she’s pretty lively once you get to know her.
With a deep love for her culture and history, Béatrice embraces her heritage and enjoys learning about it at every opportunity.
When she starts school she becomes a part of Mei’s friend group. Despite some initial conflicts, the girls get along well.

me when i stubbed my toe on a chair leg earlier: “TABARNAK, TABARNAK!”
my lovely bestie amélie on ft w/me: …tu dis?
and then i had to explain to her how quebec french uses the names of holy items as swear words (sacres) due to the social control and influence of the catholic clergy in the 19th century being a source of frustration (which eventually led to the secularisation of our government a century later but i won’t go into that now) and how we’re never beating the passive aggressive/condescending allegations…(although i suppose i cheated the system by being canadian american)
#amélie is belgian for added context#this is niche but i’m sure my fellow québécois tumblr users will relate#frenchblr#french canadian#Canadiens français#quebec#québécois#i say things all the time that confuse my european french speaking friends#if one person chuckles because of this i will be happy#it’s giving the first time i came across mdr#bilingual#francophone#français#anglais#sonic the hedgehog#luigi mangione#my little pony#the owl house#fire emblem#baldurs gate 3#superman#united states#the eras tour#taylor swift#i have no shame about using trending tags

I wanted to kill—my elder brother, I wanted to kill him, to get the better of him for once, just once, and see him die. I wanted to do it to remove from my mother’s sight the object of her love, that son of hers, to punish her for loving him so much, so badly, and above all—as I told myself, too—to save my younger brother, my younger brother, my child, save him from the living life of that elder brother superimposed on his own, from that black veil over the light, from the law which was decreed and represented by the elder brother, a human being, and yet which was an animal law, filling every moment of every day of the younger brother’s life with fear, a fear that one day reached his heart and killed him.
Marguerite Duras, The Lover, trans. Barbara Bray

A new word: Merdage
Noun.
A word for when a shitpost is so exsquisite, so iconic of the shitpost genre that it practically becomes a work of art.
Ex: You can find shitposts on every social media site, of course, but [tumblr] practically fosters merdage, which is like if shitposting was an art.
Etymology: Derived from the French word "merde" (which naturally means "shit") and the French suffix "-age" (usually affixed to the end of words to create a noun of it). Why use French? Because everything sounds more artistic and sophisticated in French.

[eng]: okay this is a question for ppl who speak French as their native language! i speak it as a second language, right? but i’ve always been curious: what is the transition like when it comes to shifting from using “vous” to address a person to using “tu”?? is it like a friendship/intimacy upgrade?? does there need to be a conversation about it before hand (like “what are we?”).
[fr]: j’ai une question pour les personnes qui parlent français comme leur langue maternelle. je le parle comme ma deuxième langue, hein ? mais je suis toutefois curieuse : la transition de utilisant de « vous » à « tu » — comment fonctionne-t-elle? est-ce qu’il y’a presque comme une promotion de l’amitié ? Devez-vous avoir une conversation à l’avance (comme que sommes-nous ?) ?
#c’est une question qui est probablement stupide#also sorry for my terrible translation skills#i just woke up and was hit by the need to ask this#bilingue#bilingual#french#franglish#french speaker#francophone#questions#français
