playing around with some historical french fashions on furina (+ neuvi).. I think she should always get big silly hats

18th+19th century mens fashion is one of my fav fav fav things is ever so this was fun 🫡 love being fashion history neurodivergent

#first one is inspired by napoleonic military uniforms (particularly napoleon himself)#second is late 18th century/post revolution #last one is like 1720ish vaguely #theres probably a gazillion inaccuracies i don't really care tbh #furina actually originally caught my eye bc of the historical influences in her outfit... hyvs doesnt usually go really heavily historical #so her design surprised me #i could talk about this for hours #my art #fanart #genshin impact #furina #neuvillette #fontaine #gnsn #genshin impact fanart #neuvifuri #if u squint really hard #of neuvis is early 18th century #french historical fashion

I see a lot of incomprehension online about our pension reform and the anger it generates in France, and what it often boils down to is "why are they so angry, 64 is plenty young to retire?"

I don't agree, but even if I did I would still oppose the reform. Here are some of the reasons why:

We already need 43 full years of work and tax contributions to be able to retire. Which means college-educated people were never going to retire at 64 anyway, let alone 62. This reform is aimed at people who start working early, mostly in low-paying jobs.

There's very little provision made in this law for hard/dangerous/manual labour.

There's no provision made for women who stop working to raise their children (51% of women already retire without a "complete career," which means they only retire on a partial pension, vs. 25% of men).

At 64, 1/3 of the poorest workers will already be dead. In France, between the richest and the poorest men, there's a 13 years gap in life expectancy.

Beyond life expectancy, at that age a lot of people (especially poorer, non-college educated) have too many health-related issues to be able to work. Not only is it cruel to ask them to work longer, if they can't work at all that's two more years to hold on with no pension

Unemployment in France is still fairly high (7%). Young people already have a hard time finding work, and this is going to make things even harder for them

Macron cut taxes on the rich and lost the country around 16 Billions € in tax revenue. Our estimated pension deficit should peak at 12 Billions worst case scenario.

While I'm on wealth redistribution (no, not soviet style, but I think there should be a cap on wealth concentration. Nobody needs to be a billionaire.): some of the massive profits of last year should go to workers and to the state to be redistributed, including to fund pensions. The state subsidized companies and corporations during the pandemic, Macron even said "no matter the cost" and spent 206 Billions € on businesses. Now he's going after the poorest workers in the country for an hypothetical 12 Billions??

Implicit in all of this is the question of systemic racism. French workers from immigrant families are already more likely to have started their careers early, to have low-paying jobs, are less likely to be college-educated, more at risk for disabilities and chronic illnesses, etc., so this is going to disproportionately affect them

This is not even touching on the fact that he didn't let lawmakers vote on it, meaning he knew he wouldn't get a majority of votes in parliament, or that 70% of the population is against this law. Pushing it through anyway is blatant authoritarianism.

TL;DR: This is only tangentially about retirement age. The reform will make life harder for people with low incomes, or with no higher education, for manual workers, for women—mothers especially, for POC, for people with disabilities or chronic conditions, etc. This is about solidarity.

Hope (sincerely) this helps.

what’s something you are genuinely bad at? like something that no matter how much you’ve tried to improve on it you’ve never been able to get past a certain point? for me it’s learning new languages

#i don’t even know what happens but my whole ass brain shuts off.#i took french all through elementary and into high school but have retained next to nothing. also took two years of german #and have very little to show for that as well #also my auditory comprehension is absolutely shit when it comes to that #my reading comprehension is much better. but trying to listen to someone talk? brain dead immediately

something i wish i'd see more in trigun fanarts is people having vash speak their native/non-english languages completely unprompted, ive seen folks have him speak french, which he canonically knows, but i really do believe he's a polyglot. mostly because of that one time in the desert when he saw the samurai and wanted to greet him in japanese but struggled to remember how to even say hello.

my headcanon is that rem had them learn as many languages as possible but with the big fall and so many people dying, which i think is what led english to became No man's land main (or even only?) language, means that vash (and knives!) both got horribly out of practice and are various sort of rusty in every others languages.

what im saying if there's any pun or joke you've been dying to write but just doesn't work in english vash (and knives!!) are right there!

#trigun #i LOVE saying 'that one time in the desert' when the whole planet is a desert it's so unhelpful its funny.#i love vash speaking french because im french and it is just. the stupidest language. the speech patterns can be so funny when overly #familiar or even rude. jveux dire imagine vash parler avec l'accent d'ta région natale ou autre. vash avec l'accent provençale jamais j'm'e #remettrais. encore pire si j'le fais parler avec mon vocabulaire du désastre. les possiblités quoi!! its also incredibly funny to me that #knives could also speak in any other languages. like what if he gets mad and decides to talk to the gung ho guns in idk finnish instead #OR WHAT IF KNIVES SOMTIME USE VERLAN PUTAIN ce serait génial. ive been thinking about it since ive read the manga. theres so many #hilarious tings we could do. real untapped potential. everyone you have the possibility to do the funniest thing pls.

disney+ adding star vs the forces of evil and gravity falls to their pride collection feels like such a slap in the face because if how much they were censored and told they couldn't add lgbtq+ characters

#star vs the forces of evil #svtfoe #gravity falls #the owl house #toh #like if i remember correctly daron nefcy wanted to make stat explicitly bi and they didnt let her #so in the last season she had to just hint at her being bi with bruzetta #and also the implications they had with jackie and the french girl #and god the list for gravity falls is so long #alex hirsch has publicly talked about how much they censored him on putting queer characters #and dana terrace for the owl house had to fight for lumity and to make luz even look not so feminine #so them marketing them just feels like such a slap in the face

I’ve seen some absolutely awful takes on The Bastard Son and The Devil Himself on this site so I’m throwing in my thoughts and a few things you should know (the last one contains spoilers!!)

• It’s a loose adaptation, it’s definitely more inspired by the books than a direct adaptation

• IT IS MEANT TO MAKE YOU A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE!!! It’s about politics and racism but in NO WAY is it meant to attack poc or encourage racism!! If you read the books you’d understand that, I also saw someone say the books don’t have a poc main character?? Nathan is described as “olive skinned” that’s considered Type III, Type IV, and Type V ranges of the Fitzpatrick scale and given he has dark eyes and hair he’s most likely in the IV-V range!

• Please at least google the summary of the books or read the first one, it’ll help you understand a bit more

• It’s dark but not as dark as the books, there’s definitely gore but even that is considerably less bad than what’s described in the books

• A bunch of things changed from book to the show (I rebloged someone’s post that had a list before this post, go check it out!!)

• GABRIEL IS 19!! I know he looks older and dated an older guy (iirc 28) but he’s 19 so it’s not actually weird for him to be with someone who’s 17, it’s a 2 year and a couple months difference

• Dear god some of you don’t know what morally grey is and it’s killing me, yes, Soul is a piece of shit but (1) he was trying to protect people at first, he wanted peace (2) he was manipulated by Jessica, she used his previous kindness and his current grief and terror against him (3) he was driven mad at the end by his new ability

#french talks #as someone who’s been in the half bad fandom for over 4 years I’m taken aback by some of you #did you not actually read the books? (to the one person who said there’s no poc mc in them)#it’s meant to be uncomfortable because it’s meant to make you think about our human bullshit #the bastard son and the devil himself #the bastard son & the devil himself #half bad trilogy #nathan byrne #nathan byrn #gabriel boutin #half bad #half lost #half wild

Femme Fatale Guide: Simple Ways To Look "Effortlessly" Put Together

A fresh haircut

Maintaining a regular skincare routine 2x/day

Applying SPF daily

Exfoliating 2-3x/week

Moisturizing all your skin daily

Dermaplane your face

Do a skin/hair mask weekly

Flossing daily & using a whitening toothpaste

Filled in (but natural-looking) brows

Wearing mascara, light concealer, and a hydrating lip balm/"you lips but better" cosmetics shade

Cut, file, and polish your nails. Keep it clean & simple

Invest in seamless and proper-fitting undergarments

Wear neutral, monochrome outfits that incorporate tailored cuts in luxurious fabrics that pair well together

Use a steamer/lint roller on your clothes before heading out the door

Invest in high-quality, well-structured handbags and shoes that pair well with almost any outfit

Put on a precious or sleek statement piece (or two potentially in the former case) of jewelry to elevate your look. Don't overdo it

Applying a few sprays of a signature scent that suits the season/occasion

Since people agree it would be sweet and hot for Astarion to speak elvish while he and Tav are having sex, I present to you the idea of Tav being elven and understanding what he says:

Him just lost in the feeling. Lost in the sauce and enjoying himself so much he kinda forgets talking in common and just rambles on in elvish. Sweet nothings and love confessions alike.

I mean it'd make sense anyway to talk in native tongue with his love, no? 💕

#astarion #bg3 #astarion ancunin #Astarion and elvish #let this man talk in elvish PLEASE #elvish is my french

ladybug discovers that chat noir can speak english with a PERFECT british accent and she is FLOORED. chat noir has never seen ladybug so fascinated with him before. after she first finds out she literally sits across from him and is like "oh my god can you say 'squirrel' in english??' he says it flawlessly and she's like 'WHOAAAAA DO IT AGAIN!!!!!'

#i always think abt that video of french people trying to say squirrel #miraculous ladybug #ladynoir #tagged:ladynoir #♡alizeh talks♡
