#it’s french i guess?

[harkersparker]

movie: french sword fighting film, like really good sword fights

me: okay okay

movie: standard hero type, soldier who challenges the Duke to a duel for fun

me: hell yeah

movie: Duke hires man as bodyguard and they travel to reunite Duke with lost love and their child.

me: mhmm

movie: Duke marries lost love and meets his child

me: lovely love a good ending… but the films barely started.

movie: Duke is backstabbed by brother, wife is killed(?), bodyguard guy is given the child to protect but not before scarring the brother so he will know him by sight in the future and he flees, joins a theatre troupe to escape, fakes their deaths and raises the child as his own and without her knowing about her noble lineage. 25 years pass, they are just players in the theatre now, until they end up in Paris and slowly learn of the wife/mothers survival, and the daughter learns of her real past. now she wants to be with her pseudo father romantically and he wants it too even though he raised her from literal INFANCY.

me: wait what was that last par-

movie: brother is defeated, daughter and mother reunite, france starts buying land in mississippi, and the daughter and pseudo father make out. the end

me: what.

And an Alsacian Miku for @trashlord-watson !

Alsace is a region at the est of France, bordering Germany, and that's where Sauerkraut (choucroute) comes from ! Also the traditional costume includes a big bow in the hair which I... adapted ❤️

When your father tried his best to provide for you but he worked all the time and even when he was home he was either tired or stressed and he’s always liked to get drunk to relax and cheer up. When you know he values work ethics and respectability so you grew up to be capable and quiet. And when he says you’re like him you’re sort of puzzled, does he really know you so little, or does he know himself so little? But you like the feeling of your father ruffling your hair so you accept it, and still you stand next to your mother just as silent and just as stoic as her during family gatherings. He leaves again and again and when your mother leaves him nothing changes, really. You wonder if it’s more telling that you know him better than he seems to himself or that you don’t know him as much as you wish you did, or that you don’t think about him all that much these days. Out of sight, out of mind. And he’s never really been there, even when he was there, after all.

Silly lil 'Guillermo enters our world' comic I did a while ago! kudos to @andiforyou who came up with the brilliant idea of adding "-canadian" to the french mistake title LMAO

and YES I stand by the fact that Guillermo is NOT a coffee guy!! He is a red bull and chocolate-covered-espresso-bean and yoo-hoo loving sweet freak!

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. WWDITS title card on a purple, pink, and teal splatter background. The 'shadows' has been scribbled out with teal spraypaint and 'french mistake' is written over it in black cursive. 'canadian' has been added between them in a different font. The full title now reads 'What We Do In The French-Canadian Mistake'. 2. Waist up of Guillermo, who is wearing a navy pullover and no glasses. He is panicking, hands pressed to either side of his head as his eyes dart around. He asks aloud, "Where am I? What am I wearing? Where are my glasses?!" 3. Shoulders up from behind Guillermo as a voice calls out "Hey, man! There you are!" Guillermo lowers his hands and turns to look over his shoulder, face pinched, a stress tear welling in one eye. 4. Waist up of Kayvan Novak in a black puffer jacket and yellow beanie, smiling as he holds up two to-go coffees from Tim Horton's. Offscreen, Guillermo shrieks, "Master?!" 5. Hips up of them both facing each other, a trailer with Harvey Guillen's name on it now visible in the background. Kayvan laughs and replies, "Was I doing the accent again?" He then screws up his face and puts on his Nandor voice to say "Take your dumb human beverage!" as he thrusts one of the coffees toward Guillermo. Guillermo stares up at him, dumbfounded, and hesitantly takes the cup. A thought bubble above his head contains the British flag and a series of question marks. 6. Small panel, waist-up, of them both walking side by side in the direction Kayvan came from. Guillermo is sipping anxiously at his coffee, face pinched as if he isn't sure he likes it. Text pointing at him reads 'Never drank coffee before'. Kayvan sips from his own cup while peering at Guillermo suspiciously from the corner of his eye. Text pointing at him reads 'Trying to figure out what bit he's doing so he can join in'. /end ID

was passing by on your blog and saw the newest rollo "comic"

I saw this and for some reason, I thought it was a mini rollo squished in some bread- 😭

I would never stuff a mini rollo in a pastry

Wes Anderson's cinematic canon is a diverse and colourful spectrum of comedy and tragedy that frequently explores familial dysfunction, grief, solitude and otherness to YOU. To me it is a cinematic universe. Bill Murray is the same guy in all of those films.

I vaguely remembered that I’d woken up last night at 2am and scrambled desperately for my phone to Wikipedia-search something I just HAD to know, then immediately fell back to sleep.

But for the life of me, I could not remember what I had searched. Curious, I opened my phone’s browser to see this:

You know that feeling: it’s 2am and you really really need to immediately read the biography of Maximilien Robespierre. We’ve all been there.

Actually it’s late and I need to be asleep HOWEVER I AM HAVING THOUGHTS about Rumbelle. I feel like we’ve all just collectively glossed over the fact that Rum and Belle were separated for 30 years. That’s a long time dude. And no-no-no- they weren’t just separated. He believed, fully, wholeheartedly believed, that she was dead. FOR THIRTY YEARS. He mourned her, he grieved for her, he kept his love for her locked away inside for all those days and nights. And then Belle, sweet, sweet Belle. She spends a bit of time adventuring and getting out there and good for her! I love that for her! She deserved that. And then she gets trapped. How long do you think she was in Regina’s castle, stuck there wondering, will she ever see him again? And then she is amnesiac for 28 years. Do you think, when she woke up from the curse, do you think she thought for a moment that she was dreaming- that she was still in that little cell, locked up and alone and thinking of the man she loved? Do you think she’d thought of him so often that when she woke from the curse and saw him there, that she thought he was just another dream? And then the mental fog lifted and she realised oh- oh- he looks… different. His curse has lifted- who lifted his curse? But does that matter? Does it even matter? Because she’s been holding her love for him inside for so long and she just has to let it out, she has to tell him no matter the consequences. She finally found her way back to him, she won’t let that go, and Rumple? Sweet, grieving Rumple, he hears her say that she loves him and it’s like oh. He can let himself believe it this time. Not many people are lucky enough to get a second chance but he not only has that, she’s essentially been bought back to life, it’s like she’s been reanimated and given another go at it. She was dead, not physically but in his eyes she was dead, and suddenly she’s not anymore- and she’s with him, alive and saying that she loves him. And it’s so true in her eyes and in her hands, in the way she touches him so gently, in how she’s not afraid to be with him. To be soft with him.

Ugh it’s just… 30 years, dude. 30 years. For some people that’s half a lifetime.

Ngl I keep thinking about your Ride Kamens comic where the green haired guy is brought back to reality when MC reminds him it's a front and he's all sad after he did all that work. And the only thing coming to mind is how the special name should be "Trois for Moi" to keep in with the French name game and the rhyming. I don't even play this game but I've been thinking about this all week

I. did think of "Trois for Toi" after I posted it. :') but uhhhhh leave Leon alone HE'S DOING HIS BEST OKAY

[comeonblub]

thought about this song and twohats and made myself sad

lyrics translation under the cut

Behind us, I see pieces of you And this is what pain has made of me

The whole Universe Our two hearts under the earth At the center of rifts where everything explodes I find myself at the point of impact Without you
