[egophiliac]

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

si tu es sur le point de faire une double masectommie, il est possible qu'une voix dans ta tête te suggère de faire une blague sur le fait de ne plus être sain(t.e) (de corps, d'esprit, ou juste religieusement) même si la blague est aussi mauvaise que répétitive. je suis là pour te faire savoir qu'il est impératif, et même qu'il relève de ton devoir sacré, non seulement de faire la blague, mais en plus de la faire à toutes les personnes avec qui tu parleras. et que tu as raison, ça va être super drôle. je ne suis pas en train de faire du sarcasme, si tu la dis à assez de monde tu finiras par tomber sur quelqu'un qui ne l'a pas encore entendue et de toute façon c'est drôle aussi pour ceux qui la connaissent déjà écoute moi c'est une opportunité unique dans ta vie... *les gardes m'empoignent pour me trainer hors du château* va jusqu'au bout du gag !!!!! sinon tu le regretteras pour toujours !!! entends mon avertissement ou bien subis les conséquences pour toute l'éter... *les portes du châteaux claquent tandis qu'on les verrouille après m'avoir jeté dehors*

if you're about to get top surgery, you may hear a voice in your head telling you to make a joke about getting something off your chest even though it's overplayed. im here to let you know it's your imperative and sacred duty to not only make the joke but to tell it to every person you talk to. and that you are right it would be funny as fuck. this is not sarcastic if you tell enough people one of them will have never heard it before and also it's still funny to every person who has heard it listen to me this is a once in a life time opportunity— [i start getting dragged out by the palace guards] commit to the bit!!! if you don't you'll forever wish you had!! heed my warning or forever suffer the cons— [castle door slams shut behind us]

[beetlegh0st]

Okay so here's my BBC Ghosts dnd au and what kind of character I think each ghost would play!!

This au was inspired by s5 e4 "En Français" where the ghosts realise they're starting to get bored with their routine and want something new. When I watched it I was just thinking these guys need to start a dnd campaign then they'll never be bored, so this is where this au comes from!

Disclaimer: I've only seen a couple episodes of CBS Ghosts but I know there is an episode where they play dnd but I don't know much more than that so any similarities are a coincidence! :D

So first off this campaign is for the ghosts only, Alison and Mike don't seem like the type to play and it'll give them a little break from the ghosts.

Pat would probably be the best choice for our dm, he probably knew about it when he was alive. Thomas would ask but the others would NOT let him. Pat would make a great dm but honestly godspeed to him the ghosts are hard enough to keep under control dming this game would be a nightmare I can't imagine it would last long. If he wasn't dming though he'd probably pick a halfling ranger, que the arrow jokes (nock the arrow jokes???)

Fanny would be a human, no doubt about it, she wouldn’t want to be anything else. And out of all of the classes I feel like cleric probably suits her best.

Captain I was initially going to say is human but I think he deserves to be a little brave and explore a little and play a half-elf, he’d also obviously be a fighter.

Thomas would be an elf bard. Julian would be a drow bard. Thomas is a bard so he can perform and Julian is a bard so he can sleep with people. They hate eachother and compete to do charisma rolls. Also it was my sisters idea to make Thomas an elf as a reference to Mat playing Elf in Yonderland, a connection I wish I had made lol

Robin would be a tiefling wizard. I picked tiefling because they’re the outsiders of the main races and honestly the implications make me sad :( He would definitely be a spellcaster and wizard makes the most sense for him

Mary would also be human and she’d be a druid, 5 potatoes high and all

Kitty would ask if she could be something like a fairy but Pat would probably only know about the main races. Kitty would probably please please please her way until Alison looks it up and confirms that dnd does have a fairy race for her to play. I honestly can’t decide on a class that fits her but I feel like the ghosts would give her little brother mode and she just gets to do what she wants

Humphrey would be a gnome so everyone else can still pick him up and I want to make him a warlock for no reason other than it’s funny to me. Like he is often the comic relief character in the show so it would make sense if he’s the one to break the pattern of their race and class being based on themselves and just have a random class. Also imagine “I cast Eldritch Blast” in his voice

The plague ghost wouldn’t play but I think they could get them in for one game to play a sort of rat king type character they have to fight or something, they would have a lot of fun. They also would have the coolest campaign of their own down in the basement

Also if each of them chose a background it would be this:

Pat - guild artisan maybe??

Fanny - noble

Captain - soldier

Thomas - entertainer

Julian - charlatan

Robin - outlander

Mary - folk hero :(

Kitty - noble

Humphrey - hermit

💚💖 for ghosts if you please. - thelastplantagenet

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favourite character?

i'd say that everyone gets thomas wrong, but i actually think the problem is that thomas gets no character development, because the writers don't allow it. he's incredibly emotionally stunted because his development is walked back and joked about in pretty much every series. thomas never gets over his obsession! the creepiness is never truly interrogated and just brushed off! so yeah, he is a creep, because he's never allowed to be anything else. beyond that, his life is genuinely really tragic and horrifying if you stop and think about it - he was only a kid, and he was manipulated into death. yeah, he was a bit stupid, but he didn't deserve to die because he was kind of an idiot. and he's treated like a joke by everyone else around him for said incredibly traumatising death. poor boy needs a hug and better friends.

as for humphrey and sophie - i really wish everyone would stop trying to blame one or the other for their communication issues and just accept that they were unhinged. i definitely don't think they'd work romantically within the context of canon, but i also think it would be useful to acknowledge a) that their marriage is fucking weird (even assuming humphrey was the heir to an earldom, it's beyond unrealistic that he'd marry a french noblewoman; this is 1558, not 1158!) and b) that he would have expected to be married off at a young age to someone he didn't love because that's the cultural expectation of nobles at that time. it's a mildly more compelling take on an arranged marriage than most historical romances, but ultimately it still kind of falls into the trap of treating arranged marriage with twenty-first century eyes of 'oh my god, this is horrifying!' rather than the sixteenth century 'yeah it sucks, but that's how the system (horrifying in itself) works'. also, for the last fucking time - they would not have been expected to consummate the marriage when sophie was 12. they wouldn't even have been expected to live together for several years. in fact, they probably would've married at a slightly older age - maybe 14 and 16, or 15 and 17. oh, also? humphrey should speak french, but sophie should speak english (to him, that is) anyway, because they live in fucking england. have i missed anything? probably. ah, yes: en français contradicts humphrey's character - he does listen, he does try to communicate, and it's not his fault sophie doesn't. yᵉ ende.

💖: What is your biggest unpopular opinion about the series?

well i don't know if you've noticed but i don't like havers! i think generally my most unpopular opinion is just that some of the writing is, in fact, bad, and that's fine. it's an overall good show, but series five is imo a bit lacking. which, again - most shows aren't perfect. also, i just don't really care about the captain (and, by extension, havers). there's nothing wrong with him, i just don't find his story particularly compelling - for me personally, thomas and humphrey resonate far more as lonely, isolated souls. and i really think havers is flat and not at all tragic. the captain's death had no emotional weight for me. which is fine, it's just not for me - but i don't get the interest.

100 Days of Productivity [Day: 18] || 100 Jours De Productivité [Jour: 18]

something I've learned from watching many of my friends learn english over the years is that you need to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. that's been reinforced by a lot of people who I know now as an adult who say the same. so, in the spirit of trying to exercise the same with myself, I've decided to try making more posts in French on here. :]

part of studying language is looking at the both the formal & colloquial sides. there's a bunch of slang that I use in my regular speech that just doesn't work in french, or, you simply say the english words with a french accent. maybe it breaks the immersion sometimes but I find it adorable - like when I was listening to a francophone tourism podcast & one of the hosts made joke about the assumptions people make about public transit. they yelled "fake news!" in english, instead of something like "faux informations" or "nouvelles faux". when I looked it up, you really do just say "fake news". I am quite literally still laughing as I type that. I love language. So, so much.

currently listening // Tes Pleurs by TSS

french below the cut || français après la couper

quelque chose que j'ai appris en regardent beaucoup de mes amis apprendre l'anglais au fil des ans, c'est qu'il faut s'immerger dans la langue autant que possible. cela a été renforcé par beaucoup de personnes que je connais maintenant en tant qu'adulte et qui disent la même chose. donc, pour essayer de faire la même chose avec moi-même, j'ai décidé d'essayer de faire plus de posts en français ici.

il y a un tas d'argot que j'utilise dans mon discours normal et qui ne fonctionne tout simplement pas en français, ou alors on dit simplement les mots anglais avec un accent français. Par exemple, j'écoutais un podcast sur le tourisme francophone et l'un des animateurs a fait une balague sur les suppositions que les gens font à propos des transports en commun. Ils ont crié "fake news!" en anglais, au lieu de quelque cose comme "fausses informations" ou "nouvelles fausses". quand j'ai vérifié, vous dites vraiment simplement "fake news". Je suis encore en train de rire en écrivant cela. J'aime la langue. Tellement, tellement.

Just so it's clear for audience members who don't get the inside jokes between @bittersweetstargazer and myself, they keep misspelling Lamé (blade en français) but I don't hold it against my adorable mutual.

February Check-In

From here on out, we should be back on track - IRL be damned (crossing fingers with that). Unless someone throws another wrench...

Anyway, let's not think about the bummer stuff...

Here's to a hopefully "normal" month with stuff actually being checked off a list!

Onto the usual index:

Recap of last month’s progress

IF Events in the Next Month

Plan for the next month

Still long post under the break. If you want a mini version, head over to itch.io!

January Progress

Welp... there wasn't much of a list in the January Check-in, since it was the retrospective, which included the yearly plan. Still, I did make a mini one on itch. Put together we'd get:

Still play more IF and maybe review. ✅

Finish the edits of Harcourt Ch5 ✅ and coding ❌

Fix one of the semi-completed games: ❌either the Egg parser or TRNT (and make it a proper parser)

Complete the Seed/Shuffle-Comp entry✅

Honestly, not bad... The first one, obviously is done and dusted. IFDB says I posted 60+ reviews in January - covering the Short Game Showcase, the ShuffleComp, and the Recipe Jam helped quite a bit. And that also meant... I'm 3rd in the Reviewer ranking! Only 100 more to second place...

MelS and I finally stopped playing ping-pong with the editing of Harcourt (later than we wanted...), and I'm currently sitting down to edit the whole maze. I had hoped to be done by the end of this month, but it wasn't feasible... It was close - I only have half a dozen passages to code, to check it works, and do the formatting. I used to laugh at his complaining of working all the rooms for this maze (because he chose to do that many), but now I'm the one suffering... Don't do mazes... Or don't do 30+-room mazes... (I'm not joking here) Also: If all goes well, March/April should be editing of Chapter 6, June/July coding of Chapter 6 (+ re-edits of previous chapters), August/September beta/edits, October? completed game.

As for the ShuffleComp, I made it realllll close to the deadline. But (not so) strangers in the night was completed just in time! Aaaannnddd, got 1st place in the Use of Songs category! Yay me :D Also submitted to the SeedComp! and the Zach Jam.

As for fixing the parsers.... whomp whomp, didn't manage that.

Buuuutt:

I made another parser! Not Another Sad Meal is a slice-of-life cooking sim of easy difficulty (and clickable elements for help!)

Also made a Zine! CTRL+SHIFT+ZUT+ALORS Lost content meets weird technology. I probably will never make this game, but you can use it as inspiration if you want!

And spent a few days working on a collaborative virtual card for a friend. While that will never be made public (for obvious reasons), You can find the basic interface [here].

Also won kuddos of best puzzle for An Eggcellent Preparation (even though it kinda broken)!

So yeah... not huge updates for projects, but some good progress and a few mini-new games. I'm not expecting people to check those out... But it would be neat if you did!

What’s happening in February?

There's always something happening in the IF world. I don't think I ever find all that happens anyway... but. Here's the ones I know!

The Queer Vampire Game Jam ends in about three weeks. Got a vampire/human story with a LGBT+ cast? Then this is the event for you! (unranked) Also they are doing a fundraising/matching donation with submissions!

Obviously @neointeractives got you covered for Valentine’s with the Smoochie Jam: it’s all about kisses, love and romance (unranked) - Be also on the look out for the next Neo-Interactives mini-jam which is happening mid-March.

The SeedComp! (Sprouting) ends at the end of February. Come transform someone’s idea or asset into a new IF game! See @seedcomp-if for more info ;) (ranked)

Concours de Fiction Interactive Francophone 2024 se termine dans un mois! Viendez faire des histoires en français!! <3 (ranked, duh)

The Spring Thing is waiting for your intent to participate until March 1st! After that, the submissions are due in April (also ranked)

Got a cool talk idea regarding Interactive Fiction, narration, or gameplay? Consider submitting a proposal for this year’s Narrascope! They are still looking for people!!!!

Note: @neointeractives will have jams all year long. One a month/or so. And the next Planting Round of @seedcomp-if will start as soon as the results are dropped.

The PLANtm for February

Shortest month, and one busy months in events (I'm at the head of two... what am I DOING WITH MY LIFE....)... So much to do, so little time. But also, ONE EXTRA DAY THIS MONTH! :D

What are we hoping to do this month?

Play more games! Because there are a bunch of jams happening and a backlog of games I'm trying to clear. Also I want to get to that second IFDB spot! (1st won't ever be attainable...)

Finish the Code Ch5 of Harcourt. This is attainable. This is doable. I will finish... because I am already 80% done. MelS is working on Chapter 6 for this month - hoping to have a rough draft for me to check too by the end of the month...

Finish fixing The Roads Not Taken. This is your month. I swear I am manifesting it hard. This is happening. I will finish you. I'm sorry I've been avoiding you....

Jam Entry number 685470w8698... probably. Maybe do a Queer Vampire/Smoochie Combo. Maybe even a French Comp game?

ALSO: I will probably do an another AMA mid-Feb.

~

The 2024 To-Do List:

New year, new list. A more feasible one, according to January-Me.

The hopefully maybe easy to handle To-Do:

fix the bugs in EDOC + overall the French version to match

fix the bugs of TRNT + find a way to add the missing pieces (giving up on the translation)

fixing the interface of LPM and the popups + check animal interactions

figure out the One-Button JavaScrip/jQuery issue...

edit the loading screens of the completed tiny games to include the program/format logo at least.

The 'Need a Bunch of Content to update but it's planned!' To-Do:

Update my website (bunch new title - also I don't think the logo clicky thing work...) + redo my itch page

Finish TTATEH (MelS dependent - this year should be it - for real)

Finish Exquisite Cadaver (half-way mark by this summer - manif)

Finish P-Rix - Space Trucker (main path at least)

Update CRWL (it's been almost two years... I'm getting ashamed)

The Unlikely But it Would be Dope To-Do

Finish The Dinner as it was planned (and translate)

Finish In the Blink of an Eye as it was planned (and retranslate)

Finish The Rye in the Dark City

Fixing TTTT (at least fixing, maybe try adding some storylets)

And finally The 'It's impossible, but one can wish' TO-DO:

Remaster SPS IH (if I managed to start this after completing the rest... I'm going to eat a whole sheet cake).

Start the IFComp project (2025? Might end up being a ST?)

Philippe: Who do you want to invite then? Napoléon V: I'm thinking about it Henri: It's an original idea. It will bring sympathy

Philippe: I don't know. I don't know if the people will really appreciate it. And we are still in a period of mourning, it should not look like a celebration Henri: Don't be so pessimistic, boy, this is an opportunity to change your mind Napoléon V, laugh

Henri: We could invite French intellectuals and celebrities, it would be fun

Napoléon V: I'll invite beautiful actresses if that's what you want, uncle Henri, laugh Philippe: Louis!

Philippe: Instead of joking, we could make it a real opportunity to bring together the greatest thinkers of the Francesim.

Henri: Of course. Louis will find a balance. Mourning is precisely a time when you have to open up to the French. Leaving Paris gives us this opportunity Napoléon V: Don't worry Philippe, I know what I'm doing Philippe: I trust you

⚜ Le Cabinet Noir | Palais des Tuileries, 3 Floréal An 230

Beginning ▬ Previous ▬ Next

Philippe : Qui souhaites-tu inviter alors ? Napoléon V : Je suis en train d'y réfléchir Henri : C'est original comme idée. Cela apportera de la sympathie

Philippe : Nous sommes encore en période de deuil, il ne faudrait pas que cela ressemble à des réjouissances Henri : Ne sois pas si pessimiste, garçon, c'est l'occasion de se changer l'esprit Napoléon V, rigole

Henri : Nous pourrions inviter des intellectuels et célébrités françaises, ce serait amusant

Napoléon V : J'inviterai de belles actrices si c'est ce que tu souhaites oncle Henri Henri, rigole Philippe : Louis !

Philippe : Au lieu de plaisanter, nous pourrions en faire une vraie occasion de réunir les plus grands penseurs de la Francesim.

Henri : Bien sûr. Louis trouvera un équilibre. Le deuil est justement une période où il faut s'ouvrir aux français. Avoir quitté Paris nous donne cette occasion Napoléon V : Ne t'en fais pas Philippe, je sais ce que je fais Philippe : Je te fais confiance

sun, scorpio, 2h :)

sun ⇢ name 5 things you like about yourself?

Why is this one so hard lol. 1) I like my intelligence (when it decides to be present); 2) I like my eyes; 3) I like my hunger to always want to learn more about the world without judgement (from a cultural perspective, at least); 4) I like my ability to learn many languages; 5) I like my sense of style.

scorpio ⇢ do you feel comfortable talking about taboo things?

It depends who the present company is and the general context of us being together to talk in the first place.

2H ⇢ do you have any object that you like a little too much? what is it and why?

my vibrator LOL that was a bad joke, sorry. I suppose a lot of vintage things I own I am very attached to. I like my copy of Edwige's memoir because she signed it; I like my vintage ivory cigarette holder that I got at a flea market because it's so unique and is a really fascinating token of the past; I like the magazine special Edwige did for Cinémonde which I also got at the same flea market because it has a cool zodiac chart, and all of Edwige's commentary is both sweet, charming and amusing, and there are colour images of her which is rare to me to see because it seemed like it was the 1960s or 1970s before you really saw pictures or films of her in colour (unless you were lucky enough to see her in a play before that point or knew her as a friend in the flesh). I like my copy of Jean Giraudoux's Sodome et Gomorrhe because it was the only full day I was in Paris for a very short trip and that evening I was meanderingly making my way to see The Glass Menagerie (en français) which Isabelle Huppert was starring in, and I passed a bookshop which still appeared to be open and my jaw dropped when I found this book there. It's a first edition and has colour sketches by Christian Bérard, who was costume & set designer, and I adore his magical style, especially of sketching. I also really like my statue of Venus and a bracelet I got in Corfu. <3

Je ne sais pas si tu l'as reçu donc je renvoie mon message:

Alors je crois que c'était à cause d'un tag nommé "my french ass" mais ça a dû être mon imagination parce que je le retrouve plus lol. En tout cas l'autre raison c'est quand tu as mentionné les french jokes dans un post, imagine les pauvres non-français qui n'auront pas compris la blague 😅 (mais bon on ne peut pas dire que je sois à jour niveau ref et blague) -sarah

Pardon!!! J’ai voulu répondre mais j’ai eu une journée longue et compliqué et j’ai oublié 😭😭

More Moni to bless your feed have her first interaction with the choir

Monique was disgusted. “Noel, tell me this is a joke.”

Noel turned to her. “What?”

He watched as she gestured to the grey dress and white button down. “This? I’m going to school in this?”

Noel nodded solemnly. “There isn’t anything I can do about it. Saint Cassian promotes modesty over style, unfortunately.”

Monique grimaced. “Oh, Lord, give me the strength to make it through this day.”

After having put on the ghastly thing, Monique took her new bag that Mona had generously insisted on giving her. It was still black, just bigger and not torn.

“Have a wonderful first day at school, Monique.” Monique read the note attached to the bag. Noel shrugged.

“Yeah, Mom’s not around in the mornings, she has super early shifts and a bunch of late shifts so I only really see her during her lunch break.”

Monique reread the note and smiled a little. “She still puts in effort. No one ever did that for me before.”

Noel handed her a bag. “Yeah, well, she really cares for people. Here’s your lunch.”

Monique took the bag and sat down and ate something with her brother.

It was heavenly. Not eating something rotten or feeling guilt for stealing or hoarding. Just a warm meal made for her.

The two of them found their way to the high school and Noel held Monique back.

“Hey, Monique? I’ve got some friends who want to meet you, and.. they’re a little intense sometimes.”

Monique shrugged. “I’m sure I can handle them. Oh, did you tell them I speak English?”

Noel shook his head. “They didn’t ask.”

Monique grinned. “Perfect.”

They walked into the school and Monique saw five other students, one in a wheelchair, waiting at the front entrance.

“Noel! Over here!”

Noel turned to the choir and sheepishly waved. The others walked over, and the guy in the wheelchair pushed himself to match their pace.

“Hey, guys! This is my new sister, Monique.”

He turned to the French girl and she nodded. A redhead girl stepped up and extended her hand.

“Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg, pleasure to meet you.”

Monique took her hand she shook it. “Merci! Tu as le visage d'un âne!”

Noel snorted and Ocean’s smile faltered slightly. “Oh, don’t you know English?”

Monique shrugged. “Oui, mais c'est plus facile de parler en français.”

Noel was quick to translate. “She says she does, but it’s easier for her to speak in French.”

Monique giggled slightly as Ocean’s little frown.

Another girl with curly hair dyed bright purple held a small Tupperware container.

“Hi, Monique. I’m Constance, and I made these for you.”

She opened the container and Monique looked inside to see her favorite desserts from home. She looked at Constance and smiled.

“Merci. C'est très gentil de ta part.”

“She says that’s very nice of you, Connie.”

Constance beamed and the boy in the wheelchair started using his hands very quickly. Monique didn’t understand but she knew the others did.

“And this is Ricky,” Noel said, “He’s mute but he’s still one of the most expressive people I know. He loves drawing, can you show her some, Rick?”

This boy, Ricky, pulled out a sketchbook and showed Monique an array of space drawings, of cat drawings, of portraits, of nature. Monique was stunned.

“It’s very beautiful,” she said softly. Ocean pointed at her.

“I thought you didn’t know English!”

“I never said that,” Monique snapped, “It was just more fun seeing you struggle.”

Ocean pouted as the others laughed. The guy with a cap looked up from his phone.

“Mischa,” he said, also with a thick accent. Monique was surprised.

“Where’re you from?”

“Ukraine,” Mischa said proudly, and Monique smiled.

“Thank God I’m not the only foreigner. I was worried.”

Mischa shrugged. “It’s hard, but you get used to it.”

The final girl, with brown pigtails, raised her hand slightly. “And I’m Penny,” she said softly, “It’s wonderful meeting you, Moni. If we can call you Moni.”

Monique thought about it. No one had ever given her a nickname before. But she smiled.

“Sure. It’s nice.”

Penny smiled and tried to hug her, then restrained herself.

“You probably don’t like hugs, huh?”

Monique shrugged. “First time for everything. Besides, you guys are.. alright, I guess.”

Penny gave her a big hug and Moni smiled a little. She looked up at Noel’s friends, at a ragtag group that she was now a part of.

And she kinda liked it. Now she wasn’t so alone
