#french to english

[afterthefuneral]

So a discord I’m in posted this picture. It was from a French magazine and supposedly from the new movie. Obviously I can’t read French so can anyone confirm?

Abîme sans retour,

là où mon âme

a été massacrée

de mon corps.

Abyss of no return,

where my soul

was slaughtered

from my corpse.

@vacancy90 was curious about what I told her about it, so here’s the beginning of their interview with some subtitles!

An Excerpt from "Love Me Tender"

I don’t see why love between mothers and sons should not be exactly like other loves. Why we cannot cease to love. Why we cannot fall apart. I don’t see why we cannot lose care, once and for all— about love— a faux kind of love, of all forms of love, even this one, why we must absolutely love each other, in families and elsewhere, when we tell stories with no end to ourselves or to each other. I wonder who invented it, when it happened, if it’s a kind of fad, a neurosis, a delirium, which are economic interests, political springs. I wonder what they’re hiding from us, what we want with this grand story of love. I look at others and I only see lies and madness. When did we stop with love? Why couldn’t we? I must know. I’m asking myself this question.

Creator Sign Ups are open!

I am once again this year offering a translation English to French or French to English (although I doubt anyone who doesn't speak English would find this), but I am also offering beta services for a fic in French! I saw it was mentioned a few times as something people wanted this year, so there it is! You'll be able to find my auctions at the username fireandhoney and as always, you can reach me for questions here on Tumblr (or anywhere else if we know each other already).

FTH 2024 Auction Calendar

We blinked, and it's 2024, and our EIGHTH year of running this auction. 2024 has all the same problems as last year but more — but we also have a lot to be hopeful about, and a lot of good projects worth supporting and fighting for.

You can look at this page (also linked in our header) for the list of this year's supported nonprofit organizations. We'll be posting more detailed profiles of each of them in the coming weeks. Below is the full calendar for this year's auction.

February 5th: creator signups open

February 19th: creator signups close

February 29th: browsing period begins

March 5th: bidding opens

March 9th: bidding closes

March 16th: proof of high bid donations due

March 21st: proof of 2nd chance donations due

Back in 2021, as we were pulling together the fifth FTH auction, we joked together behind the scenes about how great it felt that the name of our auction was no longer quite as on-the-nose as it had been in our first few years. But it's 2024, and in all likelihood 45 will be back on the ballot: just one of the many sobering and scary things we're facing down this year.

But for the past seven years, we've had the privilege of watching thousands of fans -- yes, literally thousands -- dedicate their time and money and energy to the twin projects of sending support to some amazing organizations while building and strengthening community ties within fandom. Now, more than ever, that kind of community-building is essential.

We hope you'll join us, and join one another, in sending much-needed financial support to these amazing organizations and in putting more joy and beauty out into the world in the form of fanworks. These are dark times, but when we join together we can make them a little brighter.

Crazy how every language fully understood cats when they named them. Cat, Gato, Neko, Chat, Katze, Qitta, Mao... Like yeah all of you are just 100% correct

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"

Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.

Strange work habit: I love a dance break

Some context: I always listen to music when I work, in fact I always have? I got into the habit during my GCSE's when my teacher recommended I listen to music in whichever language I was currently revising, to help me focus but also improve my listening skills ready for my exam. It worked a treat and I guess it's a habit that stuck as I still tend to do that even now.

(I once made the mistake of listening to Spanish music whilst planning a French lesson though. I planned it all in the wrong language and had to spend ages changing it!) So now, my noise cancelling headphones and a good playlist often get me in the right frame of mind for being productive. Most of the time once I get going I'm not really listening to the music all that much... But I am partial to the odd dance break when a really good song comes on. It's a good 3 minute screen break! 🤷‍♂️ Anyone else have any odd habits you've picked up over the years?
