The Picrew Of Dorian Gray

I'm fascinated by the way that the french manage to put their frenchness in everything they do. From the art to the way they'll design tram lines, every time I see something that makes me think "hmm, this has french vibes" and look it up, it's french, by a french designer, creator, builder, photographer, etc. Like you can't picture the most french possible way for something to be before you see it, and once you do, you'll just think "yeah, that's about what I should have expected." The most french possible way to light a cigarette, or train a dog to do a trick.

This one time me and my boyfriend were at his parents' place, with the TV on in the background, and showing some quirky detective show. It was in french, with an overwhelmingly white cast, but there was something about it that kept scratching my brain. Not in a negative way, but making me go "hmm" nonetheless. Not quite like uncanny valley, but close. Turns out the show was Belgian.

Much like the uncanny valley is about the unsettling feeling of seeing something that looks exactly like a person, but lacks the spark of something that would make it human, I was experiencing the fascinated feeling of witnessing something that was entirely in french, but had an uncanny absence of frenchness.

That’s okay. I always have my mouth. 😏

– You don't know what any of this is about, do you? You work here, you see these people every day, how they live, and you just don't get it. – What do you want me to say? That I feel for them? That they got a bad break? What good would it do? – It'd be a start.

when a ship involves one character being so utterly devoted to the other that its borderline religious????? when the devoted character is written to be seen as a sinner, or damned, or a non believer??? and the other character an angel or god-like???? i simply eat that shit UP how can you not??

Perona daddy said he was on call

a character being tragic does not preclude them from being a clown, a loser, evil, a bitchass punk, and/or someone who needs to get their shit rocked

I'm so sad my international friends don't know french

like there is translations but it's not the same energy

It's really simple. If you're born with a vagina and you naturally have elevated testosterone levels, you're a man. If you have a vagina and you take testosterone, you're a woman. But also if you have a vagina, you'll never be a man. But also if you have higher testosterone then you were never a woman. Woman never yes man a vagina testosterone no was an elevated. Vagina man.
