"Why not?"

Hi! I started translating the French songs featured in the series to help everyone better understand the lyrics, but especially what they bring to the scenes.

I have seen several comprehension problems related to subtleties in translation. So here you go!

Episode 1: "Une journée parfaite"

Episode 2: "Chelsea mon amour"

Episode 3: "Lumière"

Episode 4: "De la tête aux pieds" | "Tu t'en souviens" | "En dedans" | "C'est toi" (Rundown / Full lyrics translation)

Episode 5: "Aaliyah" | "Prendre soin du beau"

Episode 6: "L'anarchie des jours heureux"

🍴 Food for fanfic writers around anxiety and depression (coming from someone who had both 🥳 -- smileys everywhere or I'll lose myself):

Depression can damage the brain for real. Like. It can break neurons connections making you lose words, memories (short-term or long term ones *) and so on 🙂‍↕️ Let's go amnesia troooopes

Even after recovering from depression, you can have long lasting effects. 🫡

Depression is a bit like cancer: it can go away and/or relapse. 🤓

Brains stay maleable until you are 32 years old. Afterwards, making new connections is harder because your frontal lobe is fully developped -- not impossible, but harder. It's pretty new discovery, so we don't know how / how much it affects mental illnesses 🤷‍♀️

Anxiety drains your magnesium. You better get good supplements for it. 🤘

The lack of magnesium provokes tighening muscles, trouble sleeping and so on 🫦

Also, they are holding hands the whole trip and Shane's thumb caress Ilya's after turbulences.

"I'm here. We're in this together remember?"

"I'd prefer for you not to be here. I don't want you to die."

"I don't want you to die either, Ilya. But if you do, I don't want to live without you. I'm not giving you a choice here. We live or die together. I signed the papers for it."

And Shane kisses the back of Ilya's hand, then his forehead, before putting his earbud in again and pressing play.

For reference: Ilya is 6'3" / 190,5 cm, Hayden is "a good 7 inches smaller" than him (My dinner with Hayden) which makes him 5'8" / 173 cm, and Shane is 5'10" / 178cm.

Gosh. Hayden is tiny :3

Shane, beaming: It means that I'll forever have won two more Stanley Cups than he did.

Every other day Connor, Hudson and Rachel pop up in places were I would usually go to shop, relax, stroll to and so on. But never when I happen to be there.

I'm not a stalker nor do I want to absolutely meet them, but... yeah. Feels like the universe is making fun of me.

But hey 🤷‍♀️

Anyway! Hope Hudson isn't suffering too much of the heat.

Like. It is fun in fanfics. But for canon Shane and Ilya? Just after TLG? It's a receipe for disaster.

Shane needs to learn to separate his value from hockey, and Ilya, his own boundaries. And both of them need to develop better friendships. And to rely on properly on them.
