so like to put kids down for nap I have one kid I read poems to and another kid I make up stories for. And lately the boy I read poems to has started like saying the lines along with me and the girl I make up stories for has started finishing my sentences (every story begins the same way and she knows it!!). And it’s like I tell my coworkers or people this and I’m super excited because not only are the kids being smart but it’s also like showing that I’m making an impact you know?

#captain’s own #dumb bitch hours #it’s like I dunno #I’m kinda autistic about child education stuff and my kids from work #And I almost started crying when I heard them #hearing my boy Wywy’s squeaky little voice saying “Whose woods these are I think I know” while he’s yawning #and my girl Re looking up at me and saying “and very stubborn” to finish my description of the princess because I always describe her #as “beautiful brave strong smart and very stubborn” and Re knows it!#or like when I sing songs for them and they memorize them #Or even the other kids picking up on nicknames I give them and using them #it’s just! I dunno I love babies so much #I’m going out of town next week and I’m gonna miss them so much #I’m gonna get them some fancy Parisian chocolates which they almost definitely won’t appreciate as much as I do

Hello!! I took a time far from study because I already ended my finals (I have my grades and they are pretty great!) and I needed a time to relax. But now I have a month to end my final essay so I can have my college title! Send me luck!

Parisian Mean Girls Headcannons

Sara Lemieux

Online Username: 👑HeadQueenofBitches0001👑

Head Bitch/Leader of the "Parisian Mean Girls". Though she prefers the term "queen".

She is the meanest and cruelest out of the four. Chloé Bourgeois is a saint comparing what this bitch has done.

Sara Lemieux is infamous for crushing the spirits of every one of her peers and can snuff out weakness from miles away.

She takes immense pleasure in tormenting those who are too "weak" and "pathetic" to fight back. At the same time, she does love the challenge of slowly yet surely trying to break someone's strong will.

A master manipulator; Sara knows how to turn even the closest of friends against each other and can wrap almost anyone around her perfectly manicured fingers, whether they be one of her peers or a teacher.

She can and will make anyone's life a living hell if they dare to cross her and not fall in line.

Sara considers herself a "massive deal" and superior to everyone around her. However, she never uses her wealthy status or family's influence to get her way, unlike Chloé Bourgeois.

She partook in both physical and social bullying of the students along with her group of followers and other assholes. Their favorite victims are Noelle Odeja and Marc Anciel.

The last act of cruelty that finally broke Marc and led him to switch schools was her idea.

Treats her friends/followers as if they were beneath her and often uses her talent for manipulation to make them think that they are equal and important individuals in their friend group (though they know their place in their friend group's hierarchy.).

Makes all the rules for their friend group, including that everyone in the group except her is required to wear a choker with a heart lock under the threat of social isolation and mass school shunning. She's pretty much demanding that her friends where collars to signify that she owns them.

Cerise Leroux

Online Username: 🐅❤️RubyTigress666❤️🐅

Not to be confused with Lila Rossi "Cerise".

The more physically aggressive and intimidating out of the "Parisian Mean Girls".

Considers her red "claws" as lethal weapons.

Can tear a book in half with her bare hands with ease. Many of Marc's journals suffered at her hands.

When she's not clawing at some poor unfortunate soul who called her red hair "fake" (which it is), she uses her charms to get people to do whatever she wants.

She knows that many of the male students at her school are attracted to her and she takes full advantage to manipulate them.

Cerise has been the source of disarray for many of the couples/crushes at her school. Planting seeds of doubt in their minds, making them believe their partner was being unfaithful, outing/mocking a few students' sexual orientations, etc.

Secretly, Cerise is a romantic and is a sucker for romantic genres.

She finds romantic comedies, television dramas, and fairytales entertaining, but she absolutely loves romantic tales that are told realistically.

Cerise is a massive animal lover. She loves all animals and will take it as a personal offense if somebody doesn't let her pet their animal for a few hours.

Cerise may not be above cruelty towards people, but she is highly against cruelty to animals.

After she graduates high school, she plans on pursuing a career in rescuing endangered animals and using her trust fund money to build sanctuaries and other facilities to help abused/endangered animals around the world.

Cerise told her "friends" about her passion for animals and her goals for the future once, and they all laughed in her face, calling her ideas "stupid" and "pointless". She never spoke about the topic again afterward.

Colette Lyon

Online Username: 🎭DramaEqualsLife🎭

President of the Drama Club

Acting and pretending to be a whole different person entirely comes as naturally to Colette as breathing.

Colette lives for middle school drama and is proud to create it every chance she gets.

Constantly spreads rumors around the school, regardless if they are true or false.

As soon as Colette found out about Noelle's father's affair, she immediately spread the story throughout the whole school and made sure that Noelle would be constantly harassed about it every day until Noelle transferred schools.

Sees herself as the "perfect actress", capable of playing any role or character she needs to fool and control others around her.

Uses her talent for putting up facades to regularly create drama among the student body.

If there was a competition for the best liar, Colette would definitely have an intense battle with Lila Rossi.

Colette has information/dirt on every student at her school and she is not above blackmail or revealing it at any given moment. Rumor has it that she even has a thing or two on a few of the teachers.

Colette has a history of stealing other students' diaries and private journals and reading them out loud to a crowd of people.

Colette has gotten her hands on Marc's journals/diaries a few times and has read his stories/private thoughts out loud, knowing that he was too timid and mortified with embarrassment to protest or fight back.

She has a half-brother who attends the same school as her, but they never acknowledge each other as siblings in public and nobody has yet to make the connection between them since they do not share the same last name.

Lavender Leyva

Online Username: 💜🎵LavenderMuse2000🎵💜

The gloomy, odd girl out of the "Parisian Mean Girls".

Often speaks in a monotone voice and has a stoic demeanor for the most part.

The least manipulative or cruel out of the friend group.

Lavender tends to stay out of physical confrontation, but she is not against social harassment.

While she doesn't actively try to bully anyone without the other girls starting it, she also doesn't do anything to stop them and watches the torment with a blank, unfazed look on her face.

Lavender prefers to be alone with her thoughts whenever she gets a break from middle school drama.

She loves to listen to songs with depressing or mysterious vibes and dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter one day.

Often acts as "lookout" whenever the girls and guys are bullying their latest victim, though she really doesn't care whether or not they get caught.

She lost the ability to care about anything years ago.

Her "friends" constantly point out how weird she acts and her interests are often subjected to ridicule, but it's not like she cares.

One thing she will never admit to is her secret love of horror movies and novels. After all, can't look like a hypocrite for always mocking Noelle about her horror obsessions.

Unlike the rest of the "Parisian Mean Girls" who are XY fans, Lavender HATES XY!!!!

"He's a fake lip-syncing, popstar wannabe who only got famous because he has a somewhat pretty face and he rode on his father's coattail his whole life. Even his music is as fake and talentless as him. He might as well be made of plastic because of how fake he is." -Lavender

Well, there you have it. More information on this quartet of bitches. I plan on doing the OC headcanon of the guys from their middle school who partook in bullying the other students with them soon. One day when I can finally get it together, I plan on featuring all of them in a miraculous ladybug fanfic, which will also reveal the effects that their bullying had on both Marc and Noelle, especially their last act of cruelty that was mentioned before that led to Marc switching schools. Fair warning: it was really bad. Feel free to share your thoughts about these four bitches. Don't be afraid to rip them to shreds.

French Culture But Make It Welcome to Night Vale

You're at the train station. There are no trains coming or going. There is a strike going on. There is always a strike going on. And yet you keep coming to the train station. You forgot what you are waiting for.

You enter a boulangerie and ask for a pain au chocolat. The vendor gives you a chocolatine. You ask for a pain au chocolat again. The vendor gives you a chocolatine. There are no such things as "pain au chocolat" she tells you.

The president has published another tiktok and a youtube collaboration with famous youtubers. Teenagers cheer. Meanwhile, the student line at the local food bank stretches.

You start giving cheek kisses to your dear friend to greet him. Your regional custom is two kisses. Their regional custom is five kisses. You never touch their cheeks. Do they have cheeks? You're not sure.

You venture out on a Sunday. There is no one outside. All the shops are closed. Only the void is waiting.

A Parisian leaves Paris for the province. He asks a local if they have access to electricity and running water. No one can hear him scream over the sound of the singing rooster and mooing cows.

You buy a baguette before heading home. By the time you cross the threshold, the baguette is gone. Eaten. You have no memory of ever touching it.

#france #french #french stuff #french culture #welcome to night vale #wtnv #the president thing was an actual thing that happened woops my hand slipped #still can believe that happened #i say with a very very bitter rictus of a smile #also would it be a french culture post without a dig at parisians? no #honhon baguette

yet another writing ask: 23 and 32 if you would like to <3

Thank you 🙇🙇

23. Dialogue or description? Why is the other one so hard?

GOD. Dialogue is so hard. I get soooo stressed in rpf bc I often want or am including multi-lingual players who do not speak like a generic Californian, and I get real in my head about like...capturing that authentically and sensitively. Like description is easier to deploy meaningfully and if I fuck it up, I find that way more forgivable in myself than like writing a multilingual player and accidentally leaning into stereotypes about speech patterns or ways of expression that aren't True To Nature. and like to be clear this is specifically about non-Canadian/American players, like if I fuck up some American NCAA white jock who gives a shit but if I leaned to stereotypes about like how idk Russians speak, I would just die. and I have done this!!! I look back at some of my old sidgeno works and I'm like this is unforgiveable lol.

I'm poking at a concept with Radim Šimek, who is from Czechia, and I'm stressing sooo bad about his speech patterns and how he expresses himself in interviews vs teammates, particularly after I noticed how obvious it is that he learned in English in the Bay Area, which is not like...a particularly unique version of English, but I've noticed that sometimes the way Bay Area ppl inflect words is absolutely deranged. and like how does that affect how you express yourself yk, and like I'm basing all of this off getting lectured for being lazy in five years of French classes in high school and college, which is not even remotely the same thing

Also. At least once per fic, I have to go through a delete an instance of "hella". That man from Ontario would not fucking say "hella".

32. Do you have a word/expression that you always use in your writing?

Well I absolutely overuse "like" in speech which is what happens when you grow up in California and write primarily in a fandom of white jocks. Also tend to use "sounding strangled" with regularity, but I have never been able to figure out how to execute that specific emotion any other way (I have not tried very hard)

Thank you!!!

#i was not blessed with the polyglot gene.#i was so bad at tests in arabic class that my professor eventually adapted the weekly quizzes #FOR ME SPECIFICALLY so i could just scrape through the class. and then we did the final exam and i BOMBED IT so he gave me #like MASS amounts of extra credit for all the cultural fluency stuff we did. bc i was very good at the engaging with arabic cultures #stuff when it was in english and like a huge part of the class for him was getting all these like affluent liberal arts school kids #who came of age during the iraq war to have broader view of the middle east #he was like you try so fucking hard. i have watched you take pages and pages of notes in class. i have watched you #work studiously in the workbook. but you're so bad at the language. how can someone applying themselves that hard be so bad at it #i'm giving you like 50pts in extra credit on the cultural stuff to make up for it but like. keep trying i guess?#and he gave me a solid B- lmfao he really wanted me to pass #anyway tl;dr on these tags i am not multilingual bc i am so stupid. and that affects how i write ESL/ELL characters. bc i worry so much #i mean maybe the lesson here is apply the facial expressions my french professor would make when i start stringing together sentences #haphazardly and whimsically and eventually getting what i meant across but not in a way that really sparked joy for a parisian yk #cage replies #selkiefinalist

you being french canadian is it hard to understand french because of the accent or words used or is it both?

I understand French, and I normally don't have a problem understanding it, but sometimes it's like. A complete different language from how I speak it and hear it in my every day life. Obviously it's the same language and the base is the same, but because I speak a mix of English and French with a pretty strong accent and slangs, when I hear French people talk I don't recognize it, Idk how to explain it

#movies and stuff are fine #because like #It's not like hearing people in a telereality u know #like them in their everyday life and my example of RuPaul drag race France is extreme I guess? because it's like #the way that specifically the drag queen scene in France and mostly Parisian #which is a whole thing #anyways #Idk if I'm clear tbh I'm high lol

Tu as eu la grossièreté, comme on dit, la folie de préférer le sarreau de toile et la blouse au pantalon à lacets et sous-ventrières, au gilet à étaux, à la redingote asphixiant par la strangulation, croisant au cabestan, à la cravate en carcan, aux bottines savonnées de talc, aux gants glacés, éphémères; costume d’aisance, dans lequel on est emballé commodément, pourvu qu’on n’emploie ni ses mains, ni ses pieds, qu’on ne tourne pas la tête, qu’on ne se penche ni en avant ni en arrière, qu’on ne s’agenouille, ni s’asseoie.

Le lycanthrope, Champavert, Petrus Borel

#possibly my least favorite of the stories but I really liked this bc we hear a lot about how restrictive women’s clothes were #and not so much about menswear #i think there’s a bit in lost illusions where lucien feels like he can’t move freely anymore #after trying on the ~parisian fashions~#but i tried looking that up and can’t find it so idk #also this story has a great description of the metropolis as an awful thing attacking the passerby with visual contamination #which felt extremely xxth century #stuff found on drafts #french romantics

🎶 I AM FROGGY HERE I COME I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYONE 🎶

[ The End of LWOPS ]

With the Conqueror's machine aggravating and quickening the destruction of the world, Pavonini stood beside Pierre and watched as everything he had come to love, slowly fell away and into the void.

Behind him, Lyre (Melodie as the Snake) watched. And behind her, Cerana (Marc as the Bee) watched.

Echoing through the air was the same song that rang as the world ended the first time....

One of my friends wants to start reading more books, because he's never really got into it and the only series he has ever really enjoyed is H*rry P*tter (yes I know, don't come for me or him, he's trying to branch out). He sent me a link to one of those 100 books bucket list posters with things like War & Peace, Les Mis, James Joyce's Ulysses, etc which he will struggle with after not reading since he left school (we're late 20s).

So I figure Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is probably a good way to go. Let him get a taste of some actual good writing

#personal #censored so it wont appear in tags #i looked through the list and some of them are for younger readers #narnia. his dark materials. marilda. noughts and crosses #which are all EXCELLENT books #but he's starting out from HP #its so hard to encourage a love of reading past the age of 15 and he's 27 #oh i wish artemis fowl was on the list #the thought of giving him Ulysses or Les Mis is hilarious #“i hear you want to start reading? please try this incomprehensible brick or this treatise on the parisian sewer system #it takes some detours through the life of a priest and an ex-convict and there's some furore around barricades #but then it gets into the real juicy stuff
