#i want to learn french

[sherurose]

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!

the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".

so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.

art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.

it just occurred to me that i can "casually" learn french and japanese over the winter sem since i'll have the "time." juuusst one of the many many many things i've been putting off but want to do... i wonder if that's spreading myself too thin... my novelty-seeking brain wants to hear different sounds. in different contexts. it's probably a sign i need to get out more but that's besides the point 😂 what do i dooooo there's too many thingssss

In continuance of my “zoro learns French” drabble:

Sanji has been busy ever since breakfast. Normally he has time to prep a lot more for lunch but today? It’s like everyone is asking him for something. Chopper had gum stuck in his fur (turns out it was a spit ball from luffy) , Franky asked for help tailoring a pair of pants (finally!), Nami kept asking him questions about different dessert possibilities from tangerines, Robin was wondering about the origin of every variety of tea he has on board, and he just hadn’t had time to get back into the galley.

Finally, it’s an hour till lunch and he tactfully exits the conversation with Robin. As he walks up to the galley door he hears someone messing around in HIS galley. He kicks in the door, ready to find Luffy with his head stuck in the fridge but is stopped dead in his tracks. There, in his kitchen, is Zoro.

Zoro in his apron.

Zoro in his apron that says “kiss the cook”

Zoro in his apron that says “kiss the cook,” flour on his face, scrubbing some dishes that weren’t dirty when Sanji left this kitchen this morning, and a sheepish look on his face that doesn’t look quite natural on him. Almost cute? No. Yes? A little.

“Mosshead, you have 5 seconds to explain what you’re doing to my kitchen before I kick you into the ocean. The only reason you’re still standing there is because it looks like you’re cleaning up whatever mess you made.”

Zoro sets a newly clean skillet on the drying rack, suddenly getting a look of determination, “I made you a croak miser.”

“What the fuck is a croak miser?”

Zoro huffs like he’s both exasperated by his own actions and Sanjis lack of understanding. Rather than clarifying what a “croak miser” is, Zoro walks to the oven and pulls out a little plate. He’s blocking Sanjis view but whatever he just pulled out must have been in the oven just to stay warm because the oven isn’t even on.

Without showing what’s in his hand, Zoro gruffly asks “sit?”

This is getting weird. Sanji, shocked into obedience, sits at the table waiting to see where this is going.

In Zoros hands is a plate with a passable Croque Monsieur. Is that actually béchamel sauce? Wait did Zoro MAKE béchamel from scratch? There’s not too much or too little ham, the cheese looks gooey, wow, this could be good.

As Zoro sets the plate in front of him, a bit of pink creeping into his cheeks. “You were talking about the best comfort foods with Robin last week and I just thought… well you do a lot and… whatever eat the shitty sandwhich, asshole. Bone apple teeth or whatever.”

With that, Zoro turns on his heals and walks out.

What the fuck was that all about?

human knight doodles, this time trying out krita's fill brush. more under the cut!

i don't often see knight fanart that showcase human headcanons of him so i am feeding myself and other enthusiasts </3 his character design really intrigues me because he's mainly defined by his "absence," so it was a fun challenge to imagine what he'd look like without shedding his original personality and such.

i also like how he canonically tries to be more modern as well (even to the point of wanting to be pink) so it opens up more design possibilities. that being said. have a comfy gamer knight

Got Red Note, and holy shit when people said it gave Pinterest and a mix of insta and TikTok I was excited because that sounded fun. The stationary content has me dying. Seeing the spreads and different note style + the organization is everything I wanted. They’re giving me the stationary content I’ve been trying to turn my TikTok fyp page into within minutes 😭 To my fellow Americans, be respectful! I’m also hoping this helps to dismantle the propaganda that’s been pumped for decades.

Okay I'm sorry who the FUCK was gonna tell me that Mr. Piece-Of-Actual-Human-Garbage-That-Got-Reelected-(Somehow) is threatening to annex Canada? As in basically take invade and take over Canada? I thought I was safe over here!

No no no no no no no no no no I thought it couldn't get worse I thought it couldn't get worse no there's no way this actually happens. There's no fucking way this country is actually gonna just let this happen. If they fucking try anything and the rest of the world just lets it happen I am actually fully serious when I say this

I will commit arson. I will commit so much arson. I am not joking. I'm not a coward like some of you guys on here. I will burn down several buildings. Because if that happens, there's no hope for me having a good life. If that happens and the everyone else in the world lets it happen, I will lose all hope that things will improve.

If if people let that happen. If it succeeds... Do people understand how serious that is?

Someone please I don't fucking care if you die in the process I mean like I'll think about you a lot and I will be so grateful for what you did whoever you are but please PLEASE SOMEONE KILL THAT STUPID FUCKING MAN! HOW ARE PEOPLE SO BLIND? HE'S NOT YOUR FUCKING GOD STOP TRYING TO SUCK HIS DICK.

BRUTALLY MURDER HIM THE SAME WAY HE'S ABOUT TO DO TO SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE AND ALREADY HAS

This is not an exaggeration. This man is the Hitler of the 21st century. He has to die.

I NEED to talk about the stupid ass names that were given for the Miraculous Paris Special in English. Like ya know I can get behind Claw Noir, and Shadybug's not bad (I like Toxinelle more but that's a whole other thing) but then we have the cheesiest name for good Gabe with cussing Betterfly.

The idea of there being a hero version of Gabriel "The Idiotic Asshole" Agreste is already a living joke but then you tack on freakin Betterfly and I just- I'm sorry I can't even think about that without laughing my ass off, like it's just sooooooo dumb.

I know that the French version is Hesperia which (according to the wiki) is either a type of butterfly or could mean "to trust" but it's DEFINITELY more suitable than Betterfly.

But No Thing it sounds similar to Vesperia AND it sounds like a girl's name!!

Ya, ya, ya, I know. I'm not saying they should've gone with that but practically anything would've been better (hehe) than Betterfly.

Anyway, thanks for reading my miraculous rant and I say farewell to thee my fellow existences!

So. Last year, I took the French 3 class my school offers. I really struggled in that class. I got an A because I did the work and turned in assignments but I still fell behind. I wasn't fully grasping the concepts and speaking to my classmates in French was a struggle because nothing we learned was making sense. It just didn't click and I got really discouraged toward the end of the year.

This year, I'm taking the French 4 class. Not only am I worried that I won't succeed/fall even more behind, my school also got a new French teacher and while she's nice, what I've seen of her teaching style scares me because it reminds me of my old Spanish teacher (there were many issues in that class; no I will not be explaining).

I had already thought about repeating French 3 this year but I couldn't fit it into my schedule. Now, I'm considering dropping it. Everyone's been telling me to give the teacher a chance, but it's barely about her. Yes, the teacher does play a part in my decision, but it's mostly the fact that I was not successful in French 3. If I did drop the class, I'd continue to learn French on my own with something like Babble.

Sooo you said you drew a black sun symbol in your drawings to represent Dazai and a star for Chuuya, right? It kinda reminded of that one French song, L'oiseau et l'enfant (The Bird and The Child) because at one point the lyrics say smth like "I'm just a child of darkness, Who sees the Star shine at night, Oh you my Star that weaves my ring, Come and light up my black Sun" and the song is just sooo beautiful overall and I just wanted to recommened it to you TuT Older French songs have the same vibe in general :D They have the most non-sensical yet poetic lyrics that seem to be written by a drunk man slapped onto the most beautiful melodies ever (imo at least) and I thought, considering your artstyle, it might bring you some inspiration :0000 I haven't slept in three days and idk what I'm saying probably but yeaaaaah if you are interested, I'd recommend :

- Vanessa Paradis -> plsss listen to Il y a and Divine Idylle

- Tryo -> Désolé pour hier soir, Toi et moi

- Noir Désir -> Le vent nous portera, Comme elle vient

- Renaud -> Manhattan-Kaboul, Dès que le vent soufflera, Mistral Gagnant

- Louise Attaque -> J't'emmène au vent

- JJG -> Je te donne, Quand la musique est bonne

- Céline Dion (well I'm sure yk her already but...) -> Destin

- Olivia Ruiz -> J'traine des pieds, La femme chocolat

- Indochine -> J'ai demande à la lune, L'aventurier

And if you're really really interested, there are some classics like Les lacs du Connemara by Sardou or Les démons de minuit by Images or Santiano by Aufray or Macia Baïla by Rita Mitsouko.... or anything by KIDS UNITED (they made covers of famous songs so it's easier to get more exposure through them :D) or Jenifer or Zazie or maybe even La Compagnie Créole, Mozart Opéra Rock or Le Rouge et le Noir. There's also Indila but she's already pretty popular because of Tik Tok so yeah....

(did I just want an excuse to yap about French music? yeah probably, but I really hope you enjoy it TuT sorry you had to read through of all this lmao ToTTTT)

anon, you move like a kpoppie but for french music 😭 you're an Fpopper... a Fropper.. froppie?

jk jk ofc, thank you for the song recs! i do actually like to listen to french music (albeit mostly old vibey opera(?) music) i've given the first one a listen and i love it! Maybe this is my que to learn the language better through the lyrics so i can rizz up Clorinde Genshin impact haha.. i only know Indila from your list bc she had that hit in like 2013 that took over the world (rightfully so, it's banger) so i'm very excited to give the others a listen and maybe find some art inspo like u mentioned! thanks again smooch ♡◇♡

good morning can i show you guys the christmas card my little sister wrote me in french (she does not know any french)

joyeux Noël, j'espère que vous comprenez ce que je dis compte tenu de la fiabilité de Google Translate. Jespère qu'à l'avenir nous voir plus de deux fois par an. Je ne sais pas vraiment quoi dire d'autre, alors joyeux Noël et j'espère que papa t'a offert. Profitez également des autres choses que je mets sur la carte au lieu de vous ècrire un essai complet.

and then she wrote me a little crossword and a "connect the language to its way of saying 'merry christmas'" game 😭
