"people leave, while art remains."
the tenth instalment of my musical translation series â a biographical tale chronicling the intersecting timelines of the essayist and artist kim hyang-an's life, spanning her marriages to a poet and then a painter, and how her love for art suffused every moment of her journey.
the video is not mine, but all translations are my own. (also, happy birthday kim eehoo!!)
musical: l'art reste (ëŒí í€ì€íž)
cast (2023): [kim hyang-an] lee jisook, choi sujin, j-min âąÂ [kim whanki] kim jonggoo, yoon seokwon, park youngsu âą [byun donglim] lim chanmin, park juyeon, kim eehoo âą [yi sang] jin taehwa, ahn jihwan, lim jinseop
synopsis:Â as the last moment of her life draws near, kim hyang-an reminisces on the path she's taken. while her time flows in reverse, the days of her youth as byun donglim tick forward. at the crossroads of her two names, her juxtaposed journeys, she turns the page upon a poignant farewell. les gens partent mais lâart reste â people leave, while art remains.

ê°ì€íë§ ë§ì§ì ë§ì§ì â fiddling with sugar cubes
kim eehoo as byun donglim, jin taehwa as yi sang
[Yi Sang] Today, will she come again? The bookworm that suddenly appeared in the Nakrang Parlour That girl, who walks alone amidst these unfortunate, ill-fated times
Fruitlessly, with these sugar cubes, Iâm Fiddling, fiddling Fiddling, fiddling
[Yi Sang] Sheâs here again. Hello. Have you come to read today, too?
[Donglim] What else would I come for?
[Yi Sang] Simply to look around. Everyoneâs basking in this atmosphere, after all. With a cup of coffee in front of them, they while their time away. No one comes solely to read books, other than you.
[Donglim] I like the coffee and music here. Isnât that enough of a reason?
[Yi Sang] Of course. But stillâŠ
[Donglim] Goodbye.
[Yi Sang] What kind of person could she be? The enigmatic bookworm who flusters me She shines alone amidst these disgraceful times Iâm fiddling with sugar cubes
[S] Fiddling [D] Fiddling
[Yi Sang] Excuse meâŠ
[Donglim] What is it this time?
[Yi Sang] May I ask what book youâre reading?
[Donglim] The Brothers Karamazov.
[Yi Sang] A father and his sons, entangled in their desires; The prose steeped in good and evil, contempt and shame â You can understand it?
[Donglim] In this book, no complete humans exist. There are those who have a body, but lack a soulâŠ
[Yi Sang] And there are those who lack a body, but are the very definition of a soul itself. This is simplyâŠ
[Donglim / Yi Sang] The human unconscious!
[Yi Sang] Could you⊠take a look at this poem?
[Donglim] A circle of an arbitrary radius The line that connects a point within To a point outside the circle The temporal influence of these existences Did the line murder the circle?
With black ink, towards the world The sugar cube boy who asks questions, in loneliness
What kind of person could he be? Again, with the sugar cubes, heâs Fiddling, fiddling Fiddling, fiddling
[Donglim / Yi Sang] Simply, in the Nakrang Parlour With the sugar cubes
[D] Fiddling [S] Fiddling
[D] Fiddling [S] Fiddling
[ original korean lyrics here. ]

MEIRI!!!! i am taking a class in art history and i wanted to ask about your favorite paleolithic cave paintings, cause i know you're very passionate about that!
OOOHHAHHGRGHH MY GODDDD
YOU'VE AWAKEN MY EVIL POWER......
okay so this is gonna be real hard for me to choose. like reallll hard. but i think i can narrow it down. i don't know how much #info you need or how much Lore you care for me to add, but you've activated my trap card, so now you're stuck in the cave with me, i have the torch, and if you try to leave you won't find your way back. okay. let us start.
GENERAL LORE:
at least in the Franco-Cantabrian geographical and paleo-cultural area [this thing], which contains some of the most famous painted caves such as Lascaux, Chauvet, Pech-Merle, Altamira, etc, one main currently reigning hypothesis, because it allows to explain the most amount of [gesture] Stuff Going On, is that cave art exist within a magico-spiritual system of belief of the animist persuasion likely with shamanic elements. The places where walls were painted in the caves, were very, very rarely Living quarters. paleolithic tribes prefered to make camps outside, or just at the very entrance of caves: the depths were Hard to navigate, dangerous, possibly inhabited by predator animals. you didn't got to these places to fuck around; you went because you had a drive, you believed in something about them.
Jean Clottes (one of our main prehistorians in France, who wrote Pourquoi l'Art Préhistorique ?, or "Why Prehistoric Art", translated into english as "What is Paleolithic Art" which is fucking stupid, the "why" is the whole question he's trying to answer in the book, is this guy fucking stupid) identifies 4 main concepts that exist within indigenous, nomadic or semi-nomadic, hunter-gatherer, animist & shamanist societies and peoples, that are widely distributed (as such having "universal" elements) and could, likely, have been found within paleolithic societies, and possibly give us clues to their belief system, which are:
the INTERCONNECTEDNESS: of animal species between one another (explaining the numerous accounts of paloelithic art depiction species together, or separated), and of human and animal: including through mythologies in which humans were created from animal(s), or animal(s) later changed into human(s).
the FLUIDITY of the living world: animal species are recognized as kin, for they can become it; animal species are given, or projected-onto attributes that make a tribe, a clan, recognize themselves in it
the acceptation of the COMPLEXITY of the world: paleolithic people likely had deep, complex mythologies and cosmogonies, which we might Never, Ever, know anything about (this drives me insane.) their language, and their rites, might (have) reflect(ed) an understanding of the complixity of nature, or animals, that sedentary, then later capitalist societies might have lost the nuances of.
the PERMEABILITY of the living world(s). this again is seen in beliefs in the permeablity between human & animal, human a animal, animal as human: this is also where Shamanism might come into play. shamanism(s) rest(s) upon the conceptualization of the world as divided-but-permeable between a physical, living world, and an unseen, spirit world: the Shaman is the mediator, the person who can freely go between these two worlds, to communiate, to heal, to direct, to plead, etc. AND, and this is where it gets real interesting for The Caves: potentially, the belief in the permeablity of the cave rock itself: multiple painted sites might contain hints of a belief in the cave being the place where spirits dwell; and painting them is less "calling" or "invoking", even if there might be some of it, but rather "revealing". the cave itself, maybe, could (have) be(en) considered the place where spirits dwell, and come forth/from. more about that later.
WITH ALL OF THAT IN MIND. at least in the franco-cantabrian area, the placement of cave art is, very Very likely, extremely deliberate. it is not just the art that counts, but where it was made. we can ask ourselves, why it was made here, and not elsewhere. i am picking my answer on this axis. some caves might be so beautifully painted, but are The Vibes here? if the expression of this potential magico-spiritual complex and tens-of-thousands-of-years-spanning(!!!!!!!!!! this is nother thing that's fucking insane btw. did you know we are as close to Lascaux as Lascaux is to Chauvet, another very ornate painted cave. MULTIPLE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS) is visible, or #feelable, let's mention it. now onto the good part
CAVE ART THAT DRIVES ME CUCKOO CRAZY:
THE NIAUX (pronounced "Nyo") CAVE
reason: i've been there. twice. sobbed both times. came out changed like genuinely. made me go back to uni. the Niaux Cave is located in the AriÚge (a-ryeh-juh) département [think smaller than a state bigger than a county] of southern france, in the Pyrénées (pee-reh-neh) mountains making the border with spain.
the almost entirety of the art is concentrated in the "Salon Noir" of the cave.
now. come close and listen to me. the Salon Noir is some 700 meters from both the modern entrance and the prehistoric one. today, like back then, you have to navigate rough, slippery terrain, crouchspaces, and generally accident-inducing (source: my dad slipped & fell just like our guide warned us about) walking space. for most of the way, the ceiling is 5 to 10 meters above, and the walls relatively close together (but not claustrophobic). the Salon Noir seems to be "indicated" by, on both of its sides, red symbol markings. now listen to me. the Salon Noir's ceiling is twice as high. even with modern lamps, you struggle to see it. now imagine. having walked all the way there, in the Wet, the fire of your torch or your grease hand-lamp to guide you, and suddenly not only can you not see the ceiling anymore, but the rock seems to speak back to you. the echo is intense, in the Salon Noir, way more than anywhere in the lower-ceiling'ed cave. your voice carries on for 5 full seconds, if you sing the rock continues singing after you. did you know? in france and spain, studies have shown that most parietal (=cave wall) art corresponds to particular acoustic features. did they sing? did they play the flute, the drums? did they use lithophones: the stalagtites & stalagmites, hit of small sticks, to make them ring? in the Salon Noir, most of the animals are bisons, as is very common in the franco-cantabrian area. now this is just something fun that our guide told us, possibly nothing more than an interesting coincidence, for its truth would rest on an unproven-hypothesis-within-an-unproven-hypothesis, but did you now that the female bison has the same gestational period as the human? 9 months.
the bison to the right, with the red markings and the "eyebrows", is my dad's favorite: he says its profile looks like him, with his beard and his big nose, which to be fair, truly it does. in a previous-previous-previous-previous life my dad as an upper paleolithic era bison. this is my dad's paleolithic fursona.
my favorite is this horsie. see? she smiles.
so does this one on the left, a protome (= name for the depiction of only the front of an animal, of a human)
PERGOUSET (pronounced per-goo*-zeh) CAVE
(* but the "oo" sound is short)
i'm cheating a little. because this is not painting, it's carving. but i consider sculpture an art, and parietal carving to be as important and interesting as parietal paintings, so. take it or don't!
yeah the whole cave. you'll see why. basically if i think about Pergouset for too long my skin starts melting i foam at the mouth etc. anyways. since the cave is closed to the public, and basically only available to researchers' viewings, it is quite hard to find images of it, so we'll just ball on this one.
Pergouset is located in the département of the Lot, in southwest-central france. this region is Plentiful with caves, including Pech-Merle that is basically next door, and Lascaux 1.5h away. why this one & not any of those two? well. come closer.
okay. the pussies & this guy with his penis out cave. what's her deal. Well, first piece of lore is to know that, in the grand scheme of franco-cantabrian paleolithic cave art, human representations are minimal. animals make up the majority of depictions, however, "archetyped" or "stereotyped" human figures that insist on sex characteristics are Plentiful. and within representations of that, "female" archetypes outnumber "male" ones by a lot. basically you cannot cough on a paleolithic "human" depiction without landing on a vulva frankly. many such cases in life as well. one of the hypotheses, which Michel Lorblanchet brings forth in his book La Naissance de la Vie: Une Lecture de l'Art Parietal (from which the picture above is from) is that it could be part of a belief system in which the cave, the whole cave, itself could be a "female" principle or archetype: the whole of the cave a matrix, a uterus. basically its giving, it's giving birth. one of the biggest data point he has for that hypothesis is the Pergouset cave. in the Pergouset cave, carvings of vulvae rhythm a long narrow passage following an underground river. the 3 vulvae could represent that of pre-birth, that of currently-pregnant (with the line in the middle, like the pigmentation line on pregnant belly + carved over a convex part of the stone), and that of currently-actively-giving birth: "vulva 3" is just two streaks in the rock, surrounding a naturally-occuring hole in the rock: as if that feature of the cave itself had been recognized as It's Giving Birth / hereditary voice I Am Your Mother. as you can see on the picture, vulva 1 is all the way back in the #depths, in the #dark, and vulva 3 the closest to the exit, indeed to the light ( -> it's giving birth). now. and this is the insane thing. foaming at the mouth like unwell arms shaking rn. i've had to go pace 4 times since i started typing. in the depths of the cave, the animals that are carved are less (see the numbers on the picture). but also, they're... more fantastic. stranger, more unusual. lacking the realism that is typically associated with parietal art. they're... as if from a dream, an undetermined land of weirdness, of amorphousness. as they get closer to the light, they get more numerous, they proliferate, life crawls the walls: they become also more and more realistic. as we reach the last carved vulva, as it is giving, what is it: giving BIRTH, animals are numerous, abundant, fully formed, their visible selves in the world outside: it is as if the cave itself, the depths of cave itself, gave birth to these animals, formed them inside of itself, let them out from this unknown, amorphous, strange land beyond the stone, where human cannot reach. humans went in, and meticulously, sometimes using a natural relief in the stone for an eye, a feature, "released" the animals from the stone, "revealed" them from their state of hidden-inside-of-the-depths-ness. the whole cave this Mother from which all the animals drawn on the walls emerged.
tldr

L'Art de la Seduction - word count: 657 - Jegulas
The Gryffindor common room was quiet, a rare and precious thing. Most of the house was still at dinner, leaving James Potter alone by the fire, a half-forgotten Transfiguration essay in front of him and his glasses sliding precariously down his nose.
He didnât notice the figure slipping through the portrait hole until a soft, lilting voice broke the silence.
âTu travailles dur, mon lion?â
James startled, nearly knocking over his inkpot. He spun around to see Regulus Black leaning casually against the doorway, arms crossed and a wicked smirk tugging at his lips.
âYou know I donât speak French,â James grumbled, pushing his glasses up his nose.
Regulusâs smirk widened as he stepped further into the room, his movements languid and deliberate. âAll the better,â he said smoothly, switching back to English for just a moment before letting the French flow again. âJe pourrais dire tout ce que je veux, et tu ne comprendrais rien, n'est-ce pas?â
James squinted at him, suspicion sparking in his hazel eyes. âIâm pretty sure you just insulted me.â
âInsult you?â Regulus put a hand to his chest, feigning outrage as he came to stand behind Jamesâs chair. âNever, mon cher. I was merely admiring how utterly charming you look when youâre concentrating so hard. Itâs quite... endearing.â
James froze, the tips of his ears turning red. âYouâre doing it on purpose now,â he muttered, but there was no real bite in his voice.
Regulus bent closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. âBien sĂ»r. C'est tellement amusant de te voir rougir.â
âThatâs it,â James said, standing abruptly. He turned to face Regulus, hands on his hips, though his grin betrayed him. âWhat are you even saying? Are you just stringing random words together to mess with me?â
Regulus tilted his head, looking up at James with a mischievous glint in his gray eyes. âOh, youâd love to know, wouldnât you?â he teased, his voice like silk.
James narrowed his eyes. âYouâre insufferable.â
âAnd yet, you canât stay away,â Regulus replied, taking a step closer.
James didnât move, though his heart was beating wildly. Regulus was standing too close now, his scentâa mix of cedarwood and something soft and sweetâfilling Jamesâs senses.
âWhat are you up to, Black?â James asked, his voice quieter now.
Regulus smiled, slow and dangerous, as he placed a hand lightly on Jamesâs chest. âRien de mal,â he murmured, his voice low. âJust seeing how far I can push you.â
And that was all it took. With a growl of mock frustration, James lunged forward, wrapping his arms around Regulus and lifting him off the ground.
Regulus let out a startled laugh, his usually composed demeanor crumbling as James spun him around. âPut me down, Potter!â he protested, though the laughter in his voice betrayed him.
âNot until you tell me what all that French meant,â James shot back, grinning.
âYou wouldnât know what to do with the translation even if I gave it to you,â Regulus retorted, though his arms looped around Jamesâs neck as if he had no intention of being let go.
âTry me.â
Regulus leaned in then, his lips brushing against Jamesâs ear as he whispered, âJe tâaime, idiot.â
James froze, his breath catching in his throat. He set Regulus down gently but didnât let go, his hands still resting on his waist.
âSay that again,â James said, his voice barely above a whisper.
Regulus smirked, though there was a softness in his eyes now. âYouâll have to learn French if you want to hear it again.â
James laughed, low and warm, before cupping Regulusâs face in his hands and pulling him into a kiss. It was soft and sweet and entirely too brief for either of their liking.
When they broke apart, James rested his forehead against Regulusâs, his grin as wide as ever. âFine,â he said. âTeach me.â
Regulus chuckled, his fingers tangling in Jamesâs messy hair. âWith pleasure, mon lion.â

Hey ! I have a little question : how do you start to draw ? I want to start but idk how-
And, for the digital art, what app to used for it ?
(I'm sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language, in fr :
Hey ! J'ai une petite question : comment on commence a dessiner ? J'aimerai commencer mais jsp comment-
Et, pour l'art digital/digital art, quel application utiliser ?)
Bonjour Anon ^^
Bonnes questions! đ
On va y aller en français parce que, comme disait le Roi de France, "Car tel est notre plaisir" et puis parce que je lâai dĂ©jĂ expliquĂ© en anglais quelque part dans mon tag #arttechnique donc, pour une fois, la communication se fera en Langage de Grenouille. đ«đ·
Pour commencer sache que tu as ouvert la boite de Pandore, la rĂ©ponse va donc ĂȘtre longue. Alors, « comment on commence Ă dessiner ? ».
1 - Papier/Crayon. Câest loin dâĂȘtre une plaisanterie, on commence avec un papier et un crayon. Pas besoin d'avoir du matĂ©riel sophistiquĂ© et onĂ©reux, j'ai commencĂ© avec le crayon et le carnet Ă la con de chez Carrefour. De plus, quand tu vois ce que fait Alan Lee avec juste le dit crayon, tu n'as pas besoin de plus. C'est vraiment trĂšs bien pour s'exercer/dĂ©marrer. AprĂšs, si tu veux commencer directement en digital, tu peux le faire bien Ă©videmment soit avec un iPad soit avec un ordinateur et une palette graphique mais trĂšs honnĂȘtement, le papier/crayon offre une bonne base
2 - S'y mettre. Ăa peut paraitre con comme conseil mais c'est comme Ă la piscine il va bien falloir rentrer dans l'eau, ne serait-ce que dans le petit bain. C'est bien beau d'avoir du matĂ©riel et de se rĂ©pĂ©ter qu'on "va s'y mettre un jour" mais si on repousse l'Ă©chĂ©ance, ça ne va pas marcher. Il faut se convaincre que Rome ne s'est pas fait en un jour et qu'au dĂ©but, ça va ĂȘtre tordu et que tu vas dessiner nâimporte quoi. La procrastination au nom du perfectionnisme est un mal rĂ©el mais arriver Ă l'occulter est un belle victoire.
Pour ce faire, on commence doucement par gribouiller des choses qu'on aime. Conseil qui sonne sans doute comme une lapalissade absolue mais au dĂ©but, je dis bien au dĂ©but, on peut rester dans sa petite zone de confort pour booster la motivation. Tu aimes les chats ? Dessine un chat. Tu aimes les fleurs ? Dessine une pivoine. Tu aimes le ballet ET Emmanuel Macron ? Bref, tu sais ce qu'il te reste Ă faire (on ne kink shame pas, je suis sure quâil y a des amateurs quelques part). Cependant, petit Ă petit, il va falloir prendre plus de risques et se forcer un peu Ă dessiner des choses qu'on n'aime moins pour progresser mais au commencement, il n'y a pas de mal Ă gribouiller Les Chevaliers du Zodiac, n'importe comment.
Le Chevalier du Poisson aprĂšs sâĂȘtre pris un mur. J'avais 8 ans ok ?
Bon, je mets un « cut » parce que ça ne va pas ĂȘtre gĂ©rable.
3 - Suivre des tutos et ne pas avoir peur de l'aspect technique surtout quand on commence Ă aborder l'anatomie et la perspective. Et c'est lĂ , qu'il va falloir sortir un peu de sa zone de confort pour faire des exercices pour pratiquer les ombres et lumiĂšres, la perspective, comprendre les points de fuites, les poses dynamiques. Il y a plein de tutoriels sur YouTube, tu as aussi des bouquins mais je pense qu'une vidĂ©o est plus parlante. C'est vraiment TRĂS utile. Tu as des vidĂ©os comme "apprendre Ă dessiner" ou "perspective pour dĂ©butant", "la thĂ©orie des couleurs pour les nuls", etc...C'est lĂ que tu vas voir que pour dessiner un chat, un visage, un bateau il y a des rĂšgles pour simplifier une forme, un visage, un corps. Alors oui, c'est chiant de dessiner 12 fois la mĂȘme main ou la mĂȘme sphĂšre Ă©clairĂ©e diffĂ©remment mais ça sert. Bref, commencer Ă dessiner, ça va ĂȘtre commencer Ă comprendre comment transposer la rĂ©alitĂ© en « 3D » vers un support « 2D », la feuille ou le canevas Photoshop, peindre ce que lâon voit et non pas ce que lâon croit voir, dĂ©composer les formes, comprendre les couleurs. Une fois encore, ça va prendre du temps, mais ça viendra.
Pareil pour les applis de dessin que tu vas utiliser si tu commences en digital. Si tu ne sais pas faire quelque chose, va suivre des tutos sur Youtube. Il y a aussi des reels sur Instagram qui ne sont pas mal du tout car ils montrent des "trucs" comme des raccourcis clavier ou des façons de modifier les pinceaux (brushes) de Photoshop ou Clip Studio Paint.
4 - S'exercer par gribouiller tout et n'importe quoi, faire des croquis de...cafetiĂšre, bouquin, chaussures, prise Ă©lectrique, la petite cousine, le gros voisin, la dame du pressing. 1) c'est marrant et 2) les dĂ©fis techniques ne sont pas toujours lĂ oĂč on le croit 3) ces exercices permettent de comprendre ce dont je te parlais plus haut sâagissant de la dĂ©composition des formes ainsi que de la façon dont la lumiĂšre frappe les objets.
5 - Utiliser des rĂ©fĂ©rences. Je ne le dirais jamais assez, utiliser des rĂ©fĂ©rences nâest pas tricher ! Des illustrateurs confirmĂ©s comme Alex Ross ont un studio oĂč ils prennent des photos de leurs assistants, leurs amis, eux-mĂȘmes, pour avoir une base de travail. Si tu veux dessiner un bateaux pirate, va chercher une photo de bateau pirate sur Internet. On nâest pas « un vrai artiste » parce quâon dessine de tĂȘte ou sans gommer. đ
6 - Travailler réguliÚrement pour progresser. Je sais c'est dur de trouver du temps avec le lycée, la fac, le boulot, les transports, la vie de famille, etc...mais le mieux est d'arriver à dessiner un peu réguliÚrement, ça sera plus efficace que deux heures toutes les deux semaines. Les cours de géo sur les bassins sédimentaires sont faits pour ça. J'AI RIEN DIT.
7 - Ne pas se dĂ©courager. Je me rĂ©pĂšte mais les artistes Ă©tant leurs pires critiques, le chemin vers la satisfaction va ĂȘtre long. Tu vas commencer par copier tes artistes prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s et ta tĂȘte va exploser car un jour tes dessins vont ressembler Ă Mucha et le lendemain ça sera Ă One Piece et le jour suivant Moebius ou un web-comic corĂ©en. C'est encore plus dur pour les artistes dĂ©butants aujourd'hui car ils sont confrontĂ©s, Tiktok aprĂšs Tiktok, tableau Pinterest aprĂšs tableau Pinterest, Ă un dĂ©luge constant d'influences, Ă une stimulation artistique telle qu'elle en devient inaudible pour un cerveau toujours plus sollicitĂ©. Savoir ce qu'on veut, se concentrer, construire son style sans se perdre est, je pense, un des grands dĂ©fis des artistes dĂ©butants en 2024.
C'Ă©tait joliment dit. Merci d'avoir suivi Ce soir ou jamais, on se retrouve demain soir.
Il va surtout falloir que tu prennes en compte en tant que dĂ©butant que quand tu vas commencer, tes progrĂšs vont ĂȘtre proche de ça :
Ils ne seront pas linĂ©aires mais, tu progresseras. Un petit "art block" de temps en temps, du dĂ©couragement, mais surtout beaucoup de joie et de satisfaction quand tu auras dessinĂ© quelque chose qui te tiens Ă cĆur pour la premiĂšre fois, mĂȘme si tu dĂ©testeras ce mĂȘme dessin deux mois plus tard, c'est ça ĂȘtre un artiste, fĂ©licitations!
8 - Ne pas se comparer Ă des illustrateurs de folie. Paix Ă son Ăąme mais si tu vois une vidĂ©o du regrettĂ© Kim Jung Gi qui dessinait des fresques entiĂšres sans traits de construction, Ă main levĂ©e, tu vas te dire "Mais punaise, pourquoi j'essaie ?". N'y penses pas, fais ta vie, Ă ton rythme. Pareil avec les gens de ton Ăąge. Ne te compare pas Ă un mec de 13 ans Ă Singapour qui dessine dĂ©jĂ comme un artiste confirmĂ©. On s'en fout. C'est une exception, grand bien lui fasse, on l'embrasse, cĆur sur lui, mais ce nâest pas toi. Bref, l'inspiration OUI, la comparaison NON.
9 - Prendre des cours de dessins. Ătre autodidacte et sâentrainer tout seul, câest bien, mais prendre des cours si on est perdu nâest absolument pas honteux. Il y a des cours municipaux, des ateliers parfois Ă la mairie, Ă la mĂ©diathĂšque de ta ville, etc...Alors oui, tu vas dessiner un pot de fleurs et une pomme avec Mamie GeneviĂšve, retraitĂ© de la Mairie de Brie-Comte-Robert mais tu vas avoir un prof qui va t'expliquer les bases si tu sens que tu ne vas pas y arriver seul.
Et, pour l'art digital/digital art, quel application utiliser ?
Moi, j'utilise Photoshop mais c'est payant (et assez cher)
Pour commencer, je te recommande d'autres applications bien moins chĂšres comme Krita (gratuite) ou, si tu as un iPad, Procreate. C'est environ 8⏠(ça a peut-ĂȘtre augmentĂ© depuis le temps oĂč je l'ai achetĂ©) mais pour tout ce que cette appli peut faire, c'est donnĂ©. Moins connue mais Ă©galement gratuite, Fire Alpaca, trĂšs honorable aussi!
Clip Studio Paint est Ă©galement trĂšs bien. Tu peux l'avoir soit avec un systĂšme d'achat unique, soit un system de souscription comme tu peux le voir ici.
VoilĂ Â ! Bref, il faut sây mettre, se lancer, dessiner nâimporte quoi pour se faire la main, suivre des tutos, parce que la technique câest important, utiliser des rĂ©fĂ©rences et ne pas se dĂ©courager.
JâespĂšre avoir rĂ©pondu Ă ta question et comme disait Marie-Pierre Casey :
"Je ne ferai pas ça tous les jours!" (mĂȘme si personne ne mâa demandĂ© de faire aussi long).
Si vous nâavez pas la rĂ©f, demandez Ă vos parents.
Passe un bon dimanche et courage ! On reste motivĂ©Â !! đ

French Podcast Recommendations
The following list contains podcasts in French that I, a native French speaker, listen to. So if you're a beginner in French, those might be too hard for you !
The rest of the post will be in French !
1) Chasseurs de Sciences : Chaque épisode dure une dizaine de minutes et porte sur des scientifiques/personnalités "méconnu(e)s". (Il y a plein d'épisodes sur des femmes qui ont eu un impact énorme sur leur discipline)
Super intéressant !
Mes Ă©pisodes prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s : Henrietta Lacks, morte il y a 70ans..et toujours vivante ; Ada Lovelace, autrice du premier programme informatique..en 1843 ; Rosalind Franklin, une femme Ă la conquĂȘte de l'ADN ; Nelly Bly, 10 jours dans un asile psychiatrique et 72 jours autour du monde ;
2) VĂ©nus s'Ă©pilait-elle la chatte ?
C'est un podcast sur l'histoire de l'art et le féminisme !
Les épisodes sur Picasso et Frida Kahlo sont à écouter absolument ! Frida Kahlo, au delà du mythe ; Picasso, séparer l'homme de l'artiste ;
3) Thinkerview :
Séries d'interviews sur différents sujets (qui ne sont pas vraiment mentionnés dans les médias).
Super intéressant si vous vous intéressez un peu à la géopolitique/ réchauffement climatique
Mes Ă©pisodes prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s : L'effondrement, le point critique ? Aurore StĂ©phant (Elle parle de l'industrie miniĂšre et de ses impacts sur l'environnement. L'Ă©coute de cet Ă©pisode devrait ĂȘtre obligatoire pour l'ensemble de la population)
Guillaume Pitron : L'enfumage de la transition Ă©cologique
4) Mythologie Grecque
Un podcast sur ... la mythologie grecque !
Remarque : Je crois qu'Ă la base c'est un podcast Ă Ă©couter avant d'aller dormir donc les effets sonores sont un peu...particuliers.
Voilà voilà , aprÚs, je vous conseille, s'il y a des sujets particuliers qui vous intéressent, de juste les taper en français dans la barre de recherche de Spotify et de choisir au hasard des podcasts ! C'est comme ça que j'ai découvert un tas de podcasts en anglais/ allemand/ espagnol. Bonne écoute !

Plagier des idées.
(Je bloque les reblog de ce poste, néanmoins, on peut discuter en commentaires tant que c'est dans le respect.) Je vous préviens, les dramas sont interdits suite à ce poste. Je ne veux aucun buzz, aucun déchaßnement, juste qu'on lise ce que j'ai à dire sur le sujet.
Ăa fait 15 ans pratiquement que je fais du rpg et 22 que je graph. Ces mots que je pose ici, ça n'est jamais arrivĂ©. Je tiens bien Ă le souligner, que vous vous rendiez bien compte. Je n'ai jamais postĂ© ce genre de messages, affirmĂ© ce que je vais affirmer. Je le prĂ©cise par prĂ©vention pour toutes formes de Gaslighting potentiel. (Je vais clairement pas avoir la patience pour ça.) J'ai toujours laissĂ© le bĂ©nĂ©fice du doute (Bon en vrai j'estime que les gens n'ont en gĂ©nĂ©ral aucun intĂ©rĂȘt Ă s'inspirer de mon taf dans tous les cas, l'herbe est plus verte ailleurs) et, en toute franchise, je suis persuadĂ©e que moi-mĂȘme, inconsciemment et avec ce fichu mĂ©canisme d'adaptation, j'ai dĂ©jĂ sĂ»rement involontairement reproduit des trucs. C'est un peu ma hantise personnelle car on a beau me dire que mon style et reconnaissable et unique, il n'en reste pas moins que je suis humaine, neuroA et qu'on se laisse tous-tes influencer par notre quotidien, ce qu'on voit et ce qui nous fait vibrer. Et parfois, on se trouve juste Ă avoir des goĂ»ts trĂšs similaires ou Ă choisir les mĂȘmes types d'identitĂ© graphique. C'est comme ça, ça arrive. Ăa fait mĂȘme de belles rencontres, parfois.
Pourtant, il y a quelques mois, je me suis rendu compte qu'on m'avait plagiĂ© une idĂ©e. Certes, pas rĂ©volutionnaire, sĂ»rement dĂ©jĂ utilisĂ©e dans d'autres domaines que les avatars 400x640, mais une idĂ©e chouette que j'Ă©tais hyper contente d'avoir rĂ©ussi Ă mettre en place. Et contente de vous l'avoir montrĂ©. Je ne dirais pas quelle idĂ©e, je ne dirais pas quelle personne. (Et merci de ne pas me demander, de ne pas chercher, de ne pas faire je ne-sais-quoi sans mon consentement. Je ne tolĂšre aucune forme de harcĂšlement.) Ce que je partage ici, c'est assez difficile comme ça. J'ai peur d'en parler alors mĂȘme que je sais ĂȘtre lĂ©git. Mais on sait tous-tes que ce sujet - tabou partout dans le rpg et surtout dans le graphisme - dĂ©chaĂźne les passions. J'ai toujours voulu en rester trĂšs trĂšs loin de mon cĂŽtĂ©.
Et je le rĂ©pĂšte, je n'ai jamais affirmĂ© une telle chose en plus d'une dĂ©cennie de RPG. En deux, dans le graphisme. Les inspirations ici et lĂ , ça arrive Ă tout le monde. J'en ai dĂ©jĂ parlĂ© dans un poste sur l'art, d'ailleurs. Ici, c'est surtout dans la maniĂšre dont les choses se sont dĂ©roulĂ©s. Le timing, le combo, le tout. J'ai mĂȘme eu beaucoup de mal Ă grapher durant quelques semaines aprĂšs cette dĂ©couverte. J'ai attendu trĂšs trĂšs longtemps avant d'Ă©crire ce poste, j'ai sincĂšrement pris le temps de la rĂ©flexion pour ne rien Ă©crire Ă chaud. Et parfois encore, mon manque de confiance me chuchote que je me suis fait des idĂ©es. Que c'est moi, et donc, complĂštement illogique. Mais ce soir, je lui colle une baffe, Ă ce moi belliqueux.
HonnĂȘtement, que ça soit le cas ou pas, il n'y a qu'une conclusion à ça pour moi : Si vous voulez vraiment et volontairement reprendre une idĂ©e, que c'est complĂštement conscient, gros comme une verrue sur un pif, dites-le ? Si c'est inconscient, ça arrive ! Mais tout le processus ici fait que ça me paraĂźt vraiment, vraiment improbable.
Citer une personne en mention, juste pour dire 'VoilĂ , je me suis volontairement inspirĂ©-e d'untel-le', ça ne mange pas de pain et en vrai, ça fait mĂȘme plaisir. C'est mĂȘme pas honteux tant que la personne en face est d'accord avec ça. Si iel vous dit 'Ăcoute, je suis flĂąttĂ©-e mais pas Ă l'aise avec ça', et bien vous aurez tentĂ© et vous saurez que ça ne sera plus possible avec iel.
Ce poste va dormir, le temps que je me décide et que je sache si oui ou non, je vais le publier.
Si je vois que ça part en vrille, je supprimerais ce poste !
En attendant j'espÚre que vous passez un super été, et courage à celleux qui bossent sous cette chaleur. Hydratez-vous !
Edit : J'ai clairement attendu assez longtemps. DĂ©cidĂ© de ne rien poster et puis, je ne sais pas, ce soir, je me dis que je suis lĂ©gitime. Mais aussi que c'est normal d'ĂȘtre en rogne dans ce genre de situation et de taper un peu du poing. J'essaie juste de le faire de maniĂšre utile et constructive. J'espĂšre que ce poste peut aider. Je me dis qu'il faut souligner certaines choses, mettre les points sur les i, parfois. Je dĂ©teste ça. Mais je n'arrive toujours pas Ă passer outre. Vraiment pas. Je ne prĂ©tend rien changer. Mais j'ai besoin de le dire "Ă voix haute'.
Bonne soirée,
Swan.

La tendresse est Ă l'amour ce que sont les transats aux bains de mer. On s'y allonge avec confiance, avec douceur, une main s'emparant de la main Ă©chappĂ©e du siĂšge d'Ă cĂŽtĂ©. La tendresse est un capital retraite. Il s'est constituĂ© au fil des annĂ©es, avec patience, ramassant dans un assemblage l'accoutumance Ă l'art de vivre Ă deux, la fiertĂ© d'avoir vaincu des obstacles et d'ĂȘtre toujours ensemble, le projet de vieillir de concert, enfin ce qu'il reste d'amour et qui a pris la forme d'un invincible attachement.

Camille Claudel " La valse"
Camille Claudel " la Fortune"
Camille Claudel "Pensée profonde"
Gustave Geffroy par Paul CĂ©zanne
Camille Claudel... Grande figure fĂ©minine pour moi, qui me hante depuis la lecture Ă mon adolescence d'"Une femme" d'Anne DelbĂ©e, qui me l'a rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©e... Un crĂšve-cĆur lĂ aussi, quand on apprend qu'une semaine Ă peine, aprĂšs le dĂ©cĂšs du pĂšre de Camille qui l'adorait, le reste de sa famille, l'a faite enfermer plus de trente annĂ©es dans un asile, loin de Paris et de leur "biensĂ©ance", dans le sud de la France... Elle y serait morte de faim.
Gustave Geffroy Ă©tait un romancier, journaliste et historien de l'art.

ThĂ© dont le dĂ©but de la production serait vers le XVIIIe siĂšcle, le ThĂ© Sencha est le plus courant au Japon vue qu'il peut ĂȘtre bu chaud comme froid. Il est le thĂ© le plus produit avec une production reprĂ©sentant 80 % de ThĂ© au Japon. Sa production est de 80'000 tonnes en 2019. Sa culture en elle-mĂȘme est produite dans plusieurs zones gĂ©ographiques, les plus importantes Ă©tant celle d'Uji, au sud de Kyoto oĂč 70% de la production est consacrĂ©e au Sencha. CultivĂ© avec la technique du "Ooishita", une technique constante Ă protĂ©ger les plants de thĂ©iers de la lumiĂšre pendant vingt jours avant la cueillette. Cela est fait afin de rĂ©duire l'amertume et de dĂ©velopper un goĂ»t plus moelleux et doux. Sa culture se fait entre mai et juin et reste le plus souvent mĂ©canisĂ© de nos jours. Il existe plusieurs variĂ©tĂ©s de Sencha telle que le JĂŽ Sencha (Sencha SupĂ©rieur), le Toku JĂŽ Sencha (Sencha Extra SupĂ©rieur), le Hachijuhachiya Sencha (RĂ©coltĂ© 88 jours aprĂšs le dĂ©but du printemps), le Kabuse/Kabusecha Sencha (Sencha Ă couvert), Asamushi (SĂ©chĂ© Ă la vapeur lĂ©gĂšre), Chumushi (Cuit pendant 30-90s Ă la vapeur), Fukamushi (Sencha cuit Ă la vapeur pendant 1 Ă 2 minutes) et le Sincha/Ichibancha (Premier Sencha de l'annĂ©e).
La pĂ©riode du XVIIIe siĂšcle, celui qui vit donc le Sencha ĂȘtre introduit au Japon correspond Ă la pĂ©riode dite "Tokugawa" ou l'Ăpoque Edo. S'Ă©talant sur une de l'an 1600 avec la Bataille de Sekigahara jusqu'Ă l'an 1858 avec le Bakumatsu est une grande pĂ©riode, voyant l'unification du Japon, mais aussi d'un essor de certaines chose, telle que l'agriculture ou bien l'art et les sciences. Durant cette Ă©poque, nous pouvons citĂ© les trois grandes phases de dynamisme de la littĂ©rature Japonaise qui sont l'Ăšre Genroku (1688 Ă 1704), la pĂ©riode des Ăšres HĆreki et Tenmei (1751 Ă 1789) et pour finir la pĂ©riode des Ăšres Bunka et Bensei (1804 Ă 1824). C'est Ă cette Ăpoque que le thĂ©atre japonais traditionnel "Kabuki" sera aussi crĂ©Ă© par celle qu'on considĂšre comme la fondatrice de cet art, Izumo no Okuni. Ainsi, l'Ăpoque Edo reste une pĂ©riode trĂšs vaste et trĂšs riche Ă dĂ©crire.

Ă la MĂ©moire de JEAN BENJAMIN
Repose en Paix
Nous adressons nos plus sincĂšres condolĂ©ances Ă la famille, aux amis et aux admirateurs de Jean Jacques Benjamin, un musicien de l'ombre dont la lumiĂšre a brillĂ© intensĂ©ment dans les domaines de la musique et de la culture haĂŻtienne. NĂ© le 14 septembre 1931, Jean Benjamin n'Ă©tait pas seulement un chanteur, mais aussi un pianiste et compositeur profond. Son dĂ©cĂšs le 2 mai 2024 nous a laissĂ© un vide qui ne pourra jamais ĂȘtre comblĂ©, mais son hĂ©ritage rĂ©sonnera Ă jamais Ă travers sa musique et les vies qu'il a touchĂ©es.
La voix de Jean Ă©tait un phare d'inspiration et de joie pour un groupe Ă©lite de mĂ©lomanes, portant la riche histoire et l'esprit vibrant d'HaĂŻti Ă travers les gĂ©nĂ©rations et les frontiĂšres. En tant que chanteur principal pour l'Orchestre Riviera Hotel sous la direction du Maestro Edner Guignard dans les annĂ©es 1950, aux cĂŽtĂ©s de lĂ©gendes telles que le regrettĂ© Guy Durosier, Jean Benjamin a mis en avant l'essence de la musique Big Band haĂŻtienne, captivant les cĆurs et les Ăąmes avec des standards de BolĂ©ro haĂŻtien jazzy et des compositions originales.
Ses mélodies, de la poignante: "GisÚle" dédiée à sa premiÚre épouse à l'émouvante: "L'amour", sont des trésors intemporels qui continuent d'inspirer et d'élever. L'art de Jean était un pont, reliant le passé au présent, la tradition à l'innovation. Sa musique, immortalisée par des enregistrements et des performances, reste un témoignage de son talent extraordinaire et de sa passion inébranlable pour son art.
Nous sommes reconnaissants pour les souvenirs, la musique et l'héritage que Jean Jacques Benjamin laisse derriÚre lui.
Ă son frĂšreâDr Rodrigue Benjamin et Famille
Ă ses enfantsâYlder Benjamin, Esmeralda Benjamin Laraque, Claudette Benjamin, Jean Jacques junior Benjamin, Grevy Benjamin, Esther Benjamin.
Aux petits-enfantsâMarcus Benjamin, Laurent Laraque, Sebastian Laraque, Christopher C. Raymonvil ; et un arriĂšre-petit-fils ;
Ă ses neveux et niĂšcesâJean RenĂ© Foureau et famile; HervĂ© et Ketly Foureau Dorsinville; Marlene Benjamin et famille; Caroline Benjamin Fleurimont et famille;
Franklyn Benjamin Jr et famille; Frankline Benjamin et famille; Nadine Benjamin et famille; Gregoire Benjamin et famille; Sandra Benjamin et famille; Patrice Benjamin et famille
Ă â Gilbert Laraque, Robert-Charlot Raymonvil et toute la famille Ă©largie
Aux amis proches âSerge Morel, Leopold MoliĂšre aka Yoyo,
nos pensĂ©es vous accompagnent en cette pĂ©riode difficile. Puissiez-vous trouver du rĂ©confort dans le fait que l'esprit de Jean continue de vivre Ă travers sa musique et les innombrables vies qu'il a touchĂ©es. Sa vie a Ă©tĂ© bien vĂ©cue, et ses contributions Ă la musique et Ă la culture continueront d'ĂȘtre cĂ©lĂ©brĂ©es pour les gĂ©nĂ©rations Ă venir.
Repose en paix, Jean Benjamin, une vĂ©ritable lĂ©gende dont les mĂ©lodies rĂ©sonneront Ă jamais dans le cĆur de ceux qui ont eu le privilĂšge de vivre votre art.

In Loving Memory of JEAN BENJAMIN
Rest in Peace
We extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and admirers of Jean Jacques Benjamin, an unsung music man whose light shone brightly in the realms of Haitian music and culture. Born on September 14, 1931, Jean Benjamin was not just a singer, but a profound pianist and composer. His passing on May 2, 2024, has left us with a void that can never be filled, but his legacy will forever resonate through his music and the lives he touched.
Jean's voice was a beacon of inspiration and joy for an elite group of melomanes, carrying the rich history and vibrant spirit of Haiti across generations and borders. As a premier vocalist for Orchestra Riviera Hotel under the direction of Maestro Edner Guignard in the 1950s, alongside legends like the late Guy Durosier, Jean Benjamin brought the essence of Haitian Big Band music to the forefront, captivating hearts and souls with jazzy Haitian Bolero Standards and original compositions.
His melodies, from the poignant "GisĂšle" dedicated to his first wife to the stirring "L'amour," are timeless treasures that continue to inspire and uplift. Jean's artistry was a bridge, connecting the past with the present, tradition with innovation. His music, immortalized by recordings and performances, remains a testament to his extraordinary talent and his unwavering passion for his craft.
We are grateful for the memories, the music, and the legacy Jean Jacques Benjamin leaves behind.
To his brotherâDr Rodrigue Benjamin et Famille
To his childrenâYlder Benjamin, Esmeralda Benjamin Laraque, Claudette Benjamin, Jean Jacques junior Benjamin, Grevy Benjamin, Esther Benjamin.
His grandchildrenâMarcus Benjamin, Laurent Laraque, Sebastian Laraque, Christopher C. Raymonvil; and one great-grandchild.
To his nephews and niecesâJean RenĂ© Foureau et famile; HervĂ© et Ketly Foureau Dorsinville; Marlene Benjamin et famille; Caroline Benjamin Fleurimont et famille;
Franklyn Benjamin Jr et famille; Frankline Benjamin et famille; Nadine Benjamin et famille; Gregoire Benjamin et famille; Sandra Benjamin et famille; Patrice Benjamin et famille
To âGilbert Laraque, Robert-Charlot Raymonvil and the entire extended family.
To his close friends:âSerge Morel, Leopold MoliĂšre aka Yoyo,
our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the knowledge that Jean's spirit lives on through his music and the countless lives he touched. His was a life well-lived, and his contributions to music and culture will continue to be celebrated for generations to come.

đ did Srichand drop Mile?
omg I saw this and went to look and am going to reply REALLY quickly now because if I don't and someone else notices, I wouldn't be surprised if things escalate between the toxic solos
My consultant-type opinion (which is not a fact!) of this is: I think Mile's contract with Srichand ended.
The announcement about MileApo's ambassadorship was released circa August 28, 2022, which would imply, given some things, that it started in September 2022. The last post the Brand Twitter made featuring Mile was October 1, 2023. They retweeted some fan photos of people buying the sunscreen with Mile's picture attached, but that can be taken as engaging with people who liked their products. A 13 month contract is - to be fair - kind of weird, but this might also have to do with the uncertainty of the Man Suang release date. Since Man Suang would be released late August, it would make sense to extend the contract by a month to cover it.
I think three different contracts were signed: one with Apo, one with Mile, and one with BOC in collaboration with Man Suang (a historical Thai movie where Thai makeup would be featured). Bill, who is the Chief Marketing(?) Officer of Srichand still has the Man Suang promo slot on his header that includes Mile.
So you might be wondering, if Mile (and BOC) have a good relationship with Srichand, why might the contract end?
The other possibility turning in my head is that all of them had signed a contract that would cover until the end of 2023 BUT, drumroll, Mile got a significantly more lucrative offer.
And what offer would that be? What other makeup/beauty brand is he now a friend-of that could easily afford to buy out the rest of Mile's contract with another company, and probably Srichand wouldn't begrudge Mile for, since business is business?
Hopefully you guessed it.
From fan reports, the Guerlain store in Bangkok had sold out of the perfume scent Mile endorsed the most, and likely moved other product from fans who didn't like the scent but wanted to support him by buying another perfume. Mile endorsed the L'Art & La MatiĂšre, where 100mL is between $285-380 USD. These brands do not drop their prices for the Asian market*, and even conservatively estimating that he sold like 100 bottles of 100mL perfume and no other residuals like the Guerlain lip stick or the 200mL sizes, that's about ~$33k USD in product. Comparatively, for the first Srichand live they did, MA moved about $112k USD in product, which we can only attribute half the value of to Mile... $62k. Howevr, that took selling ~8000 units of makeup, (4000 attributed to Mile here, let's just say.)
If selling 200 units (~$66k USD) of product grosses more than selling 4000 units of product ($62k), I think both Guerlain and Srichand can see eye to eye on the value each would get from buying out the rest of Mile's contract. (Another way to add up to ~$65k+, 100 units of 100mL perfume at the $285-380 range, 150 units of perfume at the $110 range, 100 units of meteorites - Guerlain's best selling highlighter, 200 units of their $40 lipstick that Mile promoted - 550 units vs. 4000 units of product to make the same amount of money)
If anything, the weird 13 month length was likely negotiated to accommodate the release of Man Suang with MileApo marketing push to move product associated with their joint ambassadorship AND the release of the movie (their last Srichand live was Sept 19). It would be weird if Mile's face appeared on the movie makeup stuff but he wasn't appearing in the lives.
I think Mile still likely has a friendly relationship with Srichand as a company, it's just that business is business, and I'm sure whatever happened, if it was an extension or a contract buy-out Srichand likely got more than a sweet deal out of the relationship they had.
again, just my opinion. I could be wrong. But I doubt it was any sort of bad-blood reason that Mile got dropped for. The business case speaks for itself.
*luxury brands actually often have a luxury brand price increase in Asian markets. US brands are usually the most affordable in the US, and European brands most affordable in Europe due to import taxes the companies have to pay to ship product.
** also the other possibility is that they're focused on promoting the translucent powder now, which Apo is attached to but Mile is not...

So, in honor of AO3 going live again, and in recognition of @magicalgirlmindcrank being bold enough to post her very good story publicly, I'm going to post my own fics where people may peruse at their leisure. (Links aren't embedding right for some reason? Sorry)
L'Art et L'Artifice
When giant plant aliens invade in the middle of a heist, GeneviĂšve Diamant, aka the infamous thief La Grenouille, finds herself caught in the act.
Rhapsody in Green
Millie has lived in an isolated life-pod her entire life. She is treated little better than an unintelligent AI by most humans, and is currently serving as a science vessel's navigation computer. What happens when the one human that treats her like a person turns her and the rest of the ship over to the giant plant aliens?
These are both set in the Human Domestication Guide setting, where giant, benevolent, plant aliens conquer humanity for their own good and make the belligerent ones into happy adorable pets.
Read the original story by GlitchyRobo here, and more stuff can be found on the wiki here.
#human domestication guide#hdg#trans#my writing#my fic#ao3#fanfiction#Yes I have been made aware of the silliness of calling my francophone protagonist âthe frog.â#My brain said âOh! like Greninja! Because she's a quick and agile thief!â#and I didn't even think about the fact that âfrogâ has been used as a pejorative for French people since the fucking Roman Empire.#I deeply apologize to any French people whose feelings are hurt by my use of âLa Grenouille.â#If you have suggestions on a similarly good animal moniker that ISN'T âla renardeâ/fox-based please let me know.#So tired of foxes as the only thing that can possibly be cool thieves.
