France Gall Part 1

Isabelle Gall (France Gall is her stage name) is a French cult singer born in 1947 in Paris. Her musical career began at the age of 16 in the 1960s, making her an artist of the “Yéyé” era (= representative idol of French adolescents of the 1960s).

her first successes between 1964 and 1966 were naive songs, almost children's songs :

The whole world will discover her by her participation in Eurovision in 1965 with the song " Poupée de cire poupée de son "

( She won the competition but lost in the same night , her first boyfriend the singer Claude François , who was jealous of her success and who will leave her coldly by a phone call )

the song will be a worldwide hit ! With alternative versions :

In Japanese :

In German :

And in Italian :

Other international artists will also cover the song in Arabic, Spanish Chinese , Czech , Danish , Estonian , Finnish , Dutch , Hungarian , Hebrew, Korean , Portuguese , Russian , Slovack, Swedish , Vietnamese and English …

( If you're interested by discovering these versions don't hesitate to discover my Masterlist ;)

France Gall will appear in the legendary “Photo of the Century” ( which brings together the greatest french artists of the time )

In 1966 her song “Les Sucettes” caused controversy.

The composer Serge Gainsbourg had fun having this song (with its particularly salacious double meaning) performed by the 18-year-old girl who was in no way aware of the true meaning of the song.

This scandal will put a big damper on her career, she still sings but no longer interests the public. Everything could have stopped if she hadn't met a man named Michel Berger…

i love the fact nix makes it a point to pronounce the french location names correctly and then pronounces them with the american acccent for clarity while rolling his eyes to show he’s not one of you uncouth americans. he is so the american who studied abroad for a semester and came back over pronouncing croissants as lay cwehsahn

yes that means every time you see me use é i actually held down the alt key and pressed 130. every ç is the result of alt+135. every ù (151) takes me at least three tries because i always do û (150) and ô (147) first. i do ê (136) instead of â (131) all the time. è (138) is my babygirl and i would never forget her. on the other hand sometimes i use i instead of ï (139) because who can remember that. i just try a bunch of random shit until i finally get an î (140) and then i'm like oh yeah 140, duh. also even though i almost never type in spanish i will remember ñ (164) until the day i die. and of course all the acute accents in the 160s (á í ó ú, no é for some reason but as mentioned i have secret french knowledge that unlocks alt+130). i only needed to know the danish accented letters for like two weeks but occasionally i can come out with a æ (145), ø (0248), or å (134), usually by accident. this is what i'm using long-term storage for. i don't even know how to switch keyboards.

[ayatheav]

you ever think about wriothesley and neuvillette. like not even in a necessarily romantic way. in a "i trust the justice system but fought hard to put the man boy i condemned in the position in power in the place outside my jurisdiction because he's so good" way. in a "the person who trusts me now saw me at my worst, recognised that, does not hold it against me" way. in a "i couldn't help you but you forgave me" way. neuvillette seeing how the system can hurt people further, but not destroy them. there's always hope in humanity. wriothesley being kicked down all his life, finally being fought for by no other than the powerful man who decided his fate, yes, but who would not let it define him. "congratulations, i see you finally found something you wish to do". im fine this is fine its cool

Opinions on US elections? What could this mean for the relationship with Car?

...Wish I could give a proper answer to this but I'm not sure what you mean by "Car"?

EDIT: OH RIGHT THAT'S HOW I NAMED MY PARTNER PUBLICLY HERE ONCE AND I FORGOT I'M A DUMBASS (I used false names for that comic project about our story, so as not to reveal overly personal details TwT Sorry I didn't even keep up with my own stuff TwT)

...OK so... For me personally it doesn't change anything to my plans. The main reason I want to marry them is because in 2020 Trump called a travel ban on people from my country to the US, and the democrats didn't get us out of that one either for a year after that. I think most people forgot anyway. I've lived in fear of such a travel ban coming back ever since because it was horrible to bear with, so now that the guy who put up the travel ban on my country is back, if anything, I'm more determined than ever to marry them and join them over there, so we can be reunited and protected against any such form of separation before he fucks up any chances for that again.

That said... That's one very specific part of the picture and I have yet to discuss it with THEM properly yet. So I don't wanna project my own choices on them. I don't wanna get them stuck in a situation they'd rather not be in. So we'll see I guess. But as far as I'm concerned I'm still down to head to that dumpster fire anyway and face it with them if it must be so. To be honest, even if I stick to my position in France, the US has an art of making what happens in their country everyone's business, with consequences all over the world, and I'm expecting it to be even more the case with him, so I don't think other countries will be particularly safe either.

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?

Hi! I want to learn French and Russian. Could you share your favourite resources for beginners? Could you also include books and movies/TV shows recommendations for both languages in your post? Thank you.

That's really cool that you want to learn those languages!!!

I have a bunch of Russian resources that I used because I started out as solely self-learning. So a large part in my absolute beginner phase I spent listening to podcasts, specifically, these: understanding spoken Russian which is great for just getting a feel for the language while also learning a bit of grammar and this one for getting grammar and vocab explained in a very down to earth kind of way without any types of big words you need to know.

Besides these I essentially learned all the Russian grammar I know on Youtube. Especially from this channel. Daria is very cool and also has several podcasts under the same name.

This one has helped me with specific questions about little grammar things, so might also be useful.

Nastya has this year begun doing a Learn Russian in a Year thing where she uploads every day a thirty minute lesson. It's a bit slow for me personally having already learned a lot and just generally me being impatient but it can definitely help with vocab.

He also has good videos and also some free stuff on his website iirc.

For TV shows I unfortunately can't recommend a lot for beginners. What you can do though is watch episodes like Peppa the Pig on Youtube in English and in Russian/French to compare and learn or only in your TL as they're obviously at a low level. What I do highly recommend as a show though is слуга народу for Russian and Lupin for French.

Also, if you're into audiobooks, try typing children audiobooks into Youtube or try listening to the Russian/French version of Harry Potter (that's what I'm doing rn actually).

If you're looking for a book and willing to spend some money I recommend this book with Russian short fiction for beginners. I just finished it and I thought it was very fun with vocab lists and questions for the stories at the end. The same author has also books for higher levels.

Unfortunately, as I learned almost all of French in classes I only have one channel I actually use to recommend, which is this one. You'll find some of my posts where I used this channel as my source.

I hope this helps! I might update in future when I find more. Good luck with your language learning journey!!

Welcome to the start of a series I call:

"Portraits of the WVBA Boys looking deranged/pissed off"

Starting with Joe! I hc that he's more of a quite rage kinda person. Like passive aggressive and snippy comments/tone. Kinda guy to just stare at you directly if he thinks you're doing something really stupid and/or rude, but not tell you what it is you did wrong because "you know what you're doing". Very rarely actually confronts anyone.

Only really expresses the snippy side of himself around people he knows. So the minor circuit members are very well acquainted with "Snippy Bitch Joe", while the other circuit members have only seen him act that way on rare occasion if at all.
