Would love for them to bring up languages at some point.
Angel: "shit they're speaking French. Smiles! Translate!"
Alastor: "I'm not sure which is more insulting; assuming I can fluently speak and understand French because I'm Creole, or that you think French and French-Creole are the same thing."
#I was gonna have Husk say something in French but that is not of the 7 languages he knows#Alastor doesn't speak French fluently and only knows a bit!#In addition it'd most likely be French-Creole which is very much not the same as normal French!#French speaking Alastor is very nice but also very inaccurate#If not in the fluency it's the type of French#Though if his mom knows French-Creole perfectly and Alastor just had a hard time learning a second language#That would be relatable and very funny if the two met in show and Alastor just stands there not knowing what she's saying in her excitement#Alastor just nods awkwardly hoping she's not saying something he should not be nodding to.#Would be cute if he tried really hard to learn and practice it even after dying tho but sucked at it.#Give a bit more fun character to him gotta say. And also sad as he tries to keep one of the few connections he has to his mother.#Celtrist#cel rambles#hazbin hotel#hellaverse#alastor the radio demon#hazbin hotel alastor#hazbin angel dust#hazbin hotel incorrect quotes

Call me Mr. Worldwide the way I'll speak five languages poorly if I manage to keep up with Japanese and actually practice my Italian 😎
#ozuzo talks#I want to pick up Korean as well but gotta have a better grasp of Japanese first!#Also I thought I'd see how Arabic works structurally because it looks cool but I don't know if I have the brain power for it#And I started Irish but that might be unrealistic too#RIP the four years of French I did in highschool... Literally didn't retain jack squat#But yeah learning is fun even if it doesn't end in ✨ actually useful life skills ✨#I miss being curious about the world and its ways tbh! I could always use some more inquisitiveness

Thinkin about merperson shark max and marine biologist daniel
#cold water shark merperson max in the north sea swimming along the Dutch shoreline#marine biologist Daniel on summer holiday with uhhh Oscar and Logan to Amsterdam#but daniel drags them to the coast to nerd out abt the different sea life there#and sees a cool shark dude jumping out of the water and biting a seal and dragging it down and gets obsessed#the next day daniel brings a tub of raw meat or something to the beach and waits for the shark dude max to return#max and some other merpeople in the area (more of the drivers)(the french & english & germans & Kevin) surfacing to start a hunt#and max instantly swims towards the People Who Hurt Us Place bc he smells fresh meat#while like Esteban and Pierre try to hold him back#daniel throws the meat wad out to the water as he sees the shark dude approach#but max jumps up and catches it midair and lands on top of daniel while monching the shit out of it#Daniel’s excited but stays calm even when Max starts biting his legs bc he knows sharks use their mouth to explore new things#freaking out the other people on the beach and Oscar and Logan who think he’s a maniac#underwater communication is through body language (& sonar but that’s for other fancier merpeople) so Max can’t quite talk to daniel#but there’s a few translation guides on merpeople body language of all areas on earth#so daniel can bare his teeth and scrunch his face up and move his arms in a way that max understands#so now Max becomes obsessed with him because there’s a human from the People Who Hurt Us place who can actually talk to him#and daniel cancels the rest of his summer break plans to learn everything he can about his shark dude#including what happens during mating season#lol#but my mind is going off and I gotta dump it somewhere#maxiel#max verstappen#daniel ricciardo#mv1#dr3#em fic posting#I shoulda put this in the post itself and not tags

Things happening on qsmp and fans reminds me of that time dream had another brilliant idea of asking for speculative work for his icon and I said that it wasn't normal or okay and I had this discussion with an American person and at some point, they went "well when we want to enter a school we have to pay for the test to enter. are you saying this isn't normal" like a gotcha but like? yeah?? that's not ok?
In France, having to pay to pass a test to enter a school isn't illegal but your teachers will warn you: this is a sign of a scam. the scam being that the school actually sucks and is just trying to get as much money as fast as possible before eventually closing down due to being bad.
And I'm saying that because qsmp fans on twitter are doing their best to defend doing nothing to fix the situation. (The situation being free work by the way. And unsigned contracts. And abusive clauses.) And invoking things such as "oh the union that wants to take this to court are illegal" and things that appear to be normal in USA. And like, ok, listen I don't know a lot about how your country works but please question it!
You may not realize it but your worker's rights suck so much that you think a union fighting for worker's rights to be respected has to be illegal or nefarious??
#this post isnt really about qsmp btw my point is that you should question your system because heck in France its not perfect but everytime#i learn about your system im like??? how are you guys ok????#like im never recovering from the whole having to pay the ambulance thing holy shit#and apparently a lot of americans think worker unions (as a concept) is bad???#also when you work with people from other countries you have to check their laws. like apparently quackity didn't know that or something bu#you gotta. you cant just force free work and then get surprise when french syndicate comes charging fr#anyways unionize against the people who fuck with your rights I'm not even kidding. ape strong together or something. for real

not to put French on everyone's dash today but tell me how i only just found out that RSVP stands for "répondez s'il vous plaît" ("please respond", with the formal 2nd person)? i always underestimate how MUCH French is present in English when it comes to more formal contexts...
#shout-out to lil old Bill the conqueror and all his descendants I guess?#wait was William the Conquerer originally called “Guillaume”??#brb gotta go down another rabbit hole#languages#tw french#OKAY UPDATE#not only WAS he called 'Guillaume le Conquérant' ✨ but he was also sometimes called 'William the Bastard'#amazing#Bill mate i've underestimated how interesting you might be#clearly i should've done more additional reading on my own when I learned about the Anglo-Saxon period in my degree#well. i guess i gotta read someone's Wikipedia page now i guess. i heard you were a dickhead William; let's find out how true that is

recently learned that in greek the traditional ending for fairytales is "and they lived well and we lived better" and that has stuck with me
#none of the other languages i know end them that way#so it wa especially interesting to learn#theres just something about it#in russian its either “and here the story ends. and who listened did well” or “and they lived long and happily”#i actually dont know the ending in french#gotta look that up

German cake appreciation post
Holy fuck why does nobody talk about this. Okay France has pastries and Italy has bread etc etc but Germany? Best cake in the world. Goddamn. There’s this giant range of traditional cakes that are sold by the slice so you try em all with a group of friends/family over coffee. There is cake Everywhere. Most of the time it’s Kuchen-not layered/frosted, like a coffee cake. That is usually sheetpan-baked and comes marbled with pudding, yoghurty cheese, cinnamon sugar, streusel, apple, plum, poppy seeds, berries, cheesecake, honeyed almonds………anything your sugar-loving heart could imagine. Kuchen also refers to what Americans would call tarts and pies. And then there are tortes, which are layered with all of the above plus ganache, frosting, more pudding, etc, more like an American layer cake. God i love it. I love it all. Genuinely have never had better cake in my life than here. I want to cry holy shit
#i gotta learn how to make all of it#some are even made with yeast#a lot have a special kind of yoghurt-like stuff called quark#never seen it in the US but I’ll figure it out#also the bread. THE BREAD.#the Brötchen…#which means breadlings lol#the Dinkelbrot and the rye breads and the seeded breads#the walnut breads#the fucking walnut breads my god#Brotzeit my love#the french have bread with cheese the germans have cheese with bread#breakfast lunch and dinner baby#…with Kaffee und Kuchen in between

#yammers#yeah sorry time for a tag post bc I gotta put this somewhere but. quietly#I get so few days where I don't wonder what the fuck I'm even doing here#and that wondering gets ramped up by the fact that there just. isn't anywhere else for me to be#bc I'm always gonna be far away from someone now#my home country is a dangerous shithole where I'm uninsured and jobless#(where I could raise my hire-ability by.... shelling out money I don't have to move away from family and friends#to get closer to where the action is. except it Barely is bc animation is in a freefall)#in my new country I can barely communicate with anyone and my job prospects are so up in the air#that I have to waste my day doing the most demoralizing ugly work I've ever done for a job I don't want#because my visa requires that the country deem my presence PROFITABLE!!!#and I'm burned out to hell and back from running paperwork last year to move here#and it never stopped. it never ever ever stops. I am never ever EVER doing enough#practice french. more. more. MORE. learn this program. learn that program. test for this. apply to that. never hear back. get rejected.#go do paperwork again. figure out your taxes#WRONG. do it again. go get groceries. do the dishes again. put the laundry away again.#there's no space for your stuff. you barely have any stuff because you had to get rid of it all.#do something you don't want to do. again. again. smile! have fun! be charming! connect! network! stay longer!#I just want to curl up in a ball and disappear for a month or two#let me summer hibernate#it's so fucking hot here anyway I'd prefer a cave#negative /)/-)&$

after going back and forth for a million years i finally finished french 1 on pimsleur
4 more to go...
#i think of all the language programs I've gone through pimsleur is the most effective#ive been learning russian exclusively on pimsleur and i feel like I've retained more from 27 lessons there -#than from 3 years of learning french from kwiziq and duolingo and apprendre and whoever else#i guess it makes sense#ya gotta learn to talk before you can learn to read#so the opposite is more of a detriment#anyways here's hoping i actually stick with it this year lmao

I just read a bunch of abstracts for articles in portuguese because no english was available and i feel very powerful now
#i also read some in french and spanish#i want to start learning these languages again#because i understand quite a bit in reading but i could not produce my own sentences#gotta change that#(let me just take 3 different language classes next semester just to fuck with my brain#let's do spanish french and korean and see which language wins in terms of influencing my ability to#speak the others#(gotta assume it's korean since I just tried to formulate something in french and got confused because i used korean grammar rules#normal behavior#also nothing will top my 'an mogo carne' i once said to my Spanish teacher#just#beautiful#)#shut up amy
