I was about to say "I'm leaving it without any context" but no I'm leaving the context. That's Hugh Jackman kissing Ivan Urgant on Russian TV

I have to admit, I have no idea how you manage to translate. I just had a translation exam and... yeah.

"Urge", that's probably "recommander de urgement" (sic). "Recommander" feels too much like an advice you can just discard. "Conseiller" (advice)? Ditto. Well, let's go with recommander. Wait, how do I spell it? "Urgamment?" (sic), "urgeamment?" (sic) how do I even spell "urgant" (sic)? "Urgeant" (sic)? It feels weird with the e. It's probably urgant (sic). [A few seconds later...] Wait, no, it's urgent! So is it "urgemment" (sic)? Let's write that.

[Sees a second "urge"] err... "Conseiller" really feels too mild. What could it be?

"Conseiller" nope.

"Recommander" no.

"Conseiller" NO!

"Pousser" nope, that one is too much of an active action.

"Inviter" oh. Yeah. That fits.

Then I had several occurances of "how do I write this French word?" Précédemment/Précédamment, démarrer/démarer...

i forgot you havent seen me go mad because of translating yet. hm. [one example], [another better example] of my madness. and also [an example of what a dissection of intention] looks like when i do it and another of [what sentence deconstruction] looks like when i'm stuck

fam. i've been translating for nearly 2 years now. got dozens of thousand of published words behind me, some more thousand unpublished. i am used to the madness and the suffering of it. and i am not alone in the process. i call friends to ask whether something sounds aight, i use [deepL] for when im stuck on a particular word, [context reverso] when an expression escapes my mind. i do not rely on my faulty brain or the guys in my head alone.

hate translation exams with your heart as i hate the summer ❗❗❗ world's worst way to test translation capabilities

like just with your example word "urge". no word is ever divorced from its context in an actual translation setting! whether you're working with books, poems, medication instructions, package labels, or anything you could think of, they all exist in a context that provides expected vocabulary! just being given a word on its own also strips it of expected word class, like "urge" can be a verb or a noun, and in french those would be entirely different words yeah? a noun would be "une envie/un désir" and a verb would be "inciter/exhorter"! Give Me Context To Work With!!

as for spelling, i always think of my professor's favorite phrase: french is just vibes trying to look pretty. except for the set-in-stone rules yaknow (-o at beginning, au middle, eau end, CECI for when C is pronounced S and G isn't hard, etc.)

and i still dont know when it's leur or leurs in any given setting.

conclusion: it comes with experience *shrugs*

movie theatres in california just dont have those little LED strips on the steps that make them visible to you when they hit the lights off and thats cazy cause movie theatre steps are also not your average step length so every step in those fuckass theatres is me trying to feel for the edge as i get down cause i refuse to evee trip and fall and hurt myself in a theatre because california health system is the most dogshit ive ever seen because their emergency rooms, urgant care, general practice, and pharmancy are all in different buildings 5-8 min drives from each other and california drivers are so nasty that i just know that commuting between those buildings will get me sidechecked eventually because i almost got caved into in a fedex parking lot and the last thing i need on top of california medical bills and a broken leg is to get rammed into by someone drivinv expires plates whos gonna disappear into murder mountain when i try bringing them to court for destroying my rib cage it wouldnt happen for like 8 months because the singular courthouse wants to worry more about putting homeless people behind bars than it wants to get me $500 and a shitty day in court to fix $40,000 worth of ribs while im waddling around on one good leg cause my movie theatre fall took my other one out in a way where i definitely need a wheelchair but getting my house wheelchair proofed would take 10 years of working at my part time job that would probably let me go because im in a wheelchair and took more time off than 3 days ti recover from taking a tumble down the movie theatre steps all because they didnt insert LEDs to the side od the steps

My Rook, Aloisius, he is quite vain in the sense that he has an intense beauty regiment which includes bathing with roses and lavender. His companions will be telling him, "Rook, we need to go and save the world, are you done in there?" Then he comes out smelling utterly divine - or exactly like an Orlesian pastery shop as almond is one of his favorite scents.

Apparently it is a priority to smell extraordinarily good even in an urgant situation that requires utmost attention like stopping rogue elven Gods. How does an elven revolutionary in Tevinter afford these Orlesian fineries? He regularly steals from Magisters.

Even the Mage-killer is going to be thinking that he smells good.

Danny thinks his rouges may finally stop attacking him but now he just has constant ghost king nonsense to deal with.

Ghost King cons:

Every power-hungry ghost comes out of the wood works to challenge Danny's title and try and battle him for the throne. Since these aren't Danny's regular rouges they aren't even polite enough to wait until he's a ghost to make their declaration. Sometimes they come in the form of full coups/partial armies--- usually spurred on by Vlad.

The Observants have no understanding of Danny needing privacy and will pop up wherever and whenever to try and make Danny deal with "A new threat to the realms!" or "an urgant matter!"(Please, Someone write a fic about Danny being outed as the ghost king as human Danny that would be so funny)

Completely docile ghosts (some that might have even been friends with him) are now terrified of him thanks to the reputation of the old king.

Danny can't use his powers even slightly selfishly without someone scolding him. Even making the Fright Knight chase off Dash is grounds for a lecturing.

The stupid crown keeps falling off and the ring is ugly af.

sovereign territories/nations that go to war come to Danny to help mediate their occasionally incredibly petty arguments. Every other week Danny is dethroning a new tyrant (like Dorothy's people)

Knowing their king is half-human, they try to get Danny to interfere in human conflicts or pass along messages to living loved ones or whatever

He's the king now, so every teenager at a slumber party who attempts to summon Satan gets Danny instead.

There is a backlog of all kinds of paperwork. Soul contracts, nations declaring they're sovereign (since they don't have any outside influence).

When ever he introduces himself to a new person an overly enthusiastic Fright Knight will appear to tell the person all of Danny's titles.

The ghost king had a buttload of unfinished soul contracts that Danny inherited and now has to either dissolve with the other parties consent or fulfill

The ring of rage is actively trying to drive Danny mad.

(this one is completely headcannon but I like it) The crown of fire has a bit of every previous ruler's subconsciousness in it as a way to hear advice from his predecessors and Danny can't so much as slouch without hearing Albrocross The Ghastly scolding him in his head.

Ghost King Pros

Danny can open portals now... which may just be a regular progression of his powers but oh well.

The crown of fire looks hella rad.

Hot take nobody asked for: I like ghost king Danny but I think most people use it as a cop out.

I personally like the idea of "ghost king" being barely more than a title and the rights to some powerful artifacts. Becoming ghost king doesn't make Danny a god, it's a mild Amp at most. If just being the ghost king made someone that powerful, sarcophagus or not Periah Dark wouldn't have lost to a teen in an exosuit. Being Ghost King and especially trying to be a good king should be like 70% annoying responsibilities and formal nonsense 20% soft/political power, and and 10% actual power up.

i want to observe you like a bug how does it feel to have incredible ideas
