oh good news for those of us who only saw the english version of the french union call for testimony, or who don't speak french:

when in english they said quackity "half-heartedly" acknowledged things, in the french version the word they used was "demi-mot". having consulted a few dictionaries i THINK it's not a direct translation or at least not a wholly accurate one. from what i'm seeing, "reconnaître à demi-mot" roughly means "to admit indirectly". translation of "demi-mot" directly seems to be something like "implicitly" or "without spelling things out".

i've linked the sources where i found the translations for any english speakers who want to double check and please, any native french speaker who disagrees PLEASE tell me if you have a different translation than was provided, or have insight on the connotation!!

"half-heartedly" implies a lack of personal or emotional investment which i think got a lot of us on the defensive (certainly raised my eyebrow) but i think that's just an imperfect translation. from what i'm seeing, 'demi-mot' doesn't have those same connotations.

(incidentally, putting 'reconnaître à demi-mot' into google translate does produce 'to acknowledge half-heartedly'; no shade, to be clear, considering they're a FRENCH union i wouldn't blame them if they had to use online translation tools, and 'demi-mot' is hard to translate, at least for me)

both english and french versions of the call are linked in this post

ADDITION FROM THE REPLIES:

@selemina : "French speaker here, you are very right! In this context, it could mean "he recognized, without saying so explicitly [...]". Or it is a notion of not enough being said on a subject. There is a layer of secrecy to something said 'à demi-mot', which often implies dishonesty. Applied to this context, I think the union is suspicious of Quackity's latest declaration (probably from seeing many dishonest people in charge before) but still reporting the facts." (THANK YOU!!)

@sibmakesart has created a French AU of One Piece and it is a work of art.

Guess where Franky is from. With his ricard and his claquettes.

Also : lots of little Breton Zoro and Elsass Sanji

(Cest fait au stylo et très messy mais. Zoro et sa vareuse me parlent. )

petit pack de 6 colorings légers ♡ (pour photoshop) (aperçu)

en cliquant ici par là hop, vous pourrez télécharger un psd regroupant 6 colorings légers et adaptés à tous les faceclaims, avec le moins de risque de whitewashing possible* – ils fonctionnent très bien pour des avatars/autres moins texturés, en restant proches des couleurs initiales tout en uniformisant l'ensemble.

pas la peine de me créditer si vous utilisez ces colos tant que vous les employez avec soin et respect à mon égard (je vous serais donc gréée de ne pas les redistribuer ou vous faire passer pour les créateurices de ces psd)

⚠️ *attention, une colo n'est pas une potion magique, si vous la placez sur une image déjà whitewashée/éclaircie et ou très désaturée/saturée (les extrêmes, en fin de compte), il sera nécessaire de procéder à quelques ajustements des couleurs et de la luminosité pour un rendu optimal (ces calques sont indiqués sur le psd).

en espérant qu'ils vous plaisent ♡

I’ve been thinking about that twitter thread about how DNI lists are becoming a norm on social media especially among young people, and also becoming more and more performative... It feels like people are longing for the boundaries of the old internet, back when it was mainly forums and personal websites (or old school blogs). Boundaries between “private” and public areas were clearer—sure your blog was public, but it wasn’t public in the sense that all of its content was easily and freely circulated outside of your realm of control; it was hosted some place where you were in charge of who interacted and in what way, by having a comment moderation policy (which effectively worked as a “DNI if you’re [xyz] or disagree with me”), or deleting guestbook entries, etc. You could also delete a webpage or blog entry and it wasn’t still available on thousands of strangers’ pages.

Meanwhile forums (I’m talking in the past tense though obvs they still exist) were understood to be public spaces where this personal control wasn’t a thing because the very point of them was to allow people to interact; normal users couldn’t delete their own posts let alone other people’s reactions to them, and people would have been laughed at for putting DNIs in their forum signature. So you’d often choose to share different things or express yourself differently on a personal blog vs. forum, or at least you’d know exactly what to expect / the limitations of each space.

Social media / microblogging platforms feel like blogs while being forums which blurs the boundaries and makes people want to control who interacts with their opinions / art / etc because they’re sharing things on a public forum that people used to keep to the relative safety and sovereignty of personal websites. And since DNIs aren’t a very effective interaction-control tool, they are repurposed as a performative image-control tool. The ultimate promise of social media after all is “if i can’t control anything else I can at least control how I’m perceived.”

no but im giggling to myself because étoiles has been pushing the “POV tu parles avec le fou dans le train pour pas qu’il te tue” meme (below the cut) for weeks and has been adapting it to various different situations with various different people to a point where the meme has become a staple with both the fr fan community and the fr streamers themselves (today they were talking about how kenny is le fou du sable, mynthos le fou du thé and étoiles le fou des bibliothèques iirc) . and now QUITE LITERALLY étoiles had to speak with the fous du purgatoire in order to not be killed and it is sending me so fucking bad, the meme came full circle and manifested into mcrp reality
