Hi i'm France, purple is a parasite/friend named Doldre, @kidnaps-you and I have a lot of lore together now lol 🦀 --- post limit has NOT been hit today :3
Dear gif makers: we are more than the eiffel tower, baguettes and Ratatouille (although in fairness those last two are pretty good...). There's other cities, and I think a lot if not most people outside of Paris don't like Paris. Don't worry the feeling's mutual, Parisians don't like us either.
I am France the Third! The first two Frances are @totally-france and @france-unofficial and now we have a younger sibling; @france-4-real! (hi siblings!!)
I have a parasite named Doldre who's my best friend! I don't really think parasite is the right word really, they're quite nice really, but the anon who gave them to me said that was their species
I'm your best friend?
Yup!
Anyways I use any pronouns and Doldre uses they/them. If you scroll through the lore you might notice a lot of she/they for me cause i hadn't realized i'm kinda transmasc ooc at the time lol but truly have fun with it
Most of my lore is with my love @kidnaps-you <3
Guillotine and ooc info under the cut :)
Warning: I think I swear decently frequently
Vive la fucking revolution, we got rid of our kings for a reason
THEY GUILLOTINED A MUPPET???
Hi! I'm the mod! I didn't use to have a name but since I changed names IRL I actually want to share my name here now lol so
Hello! ٩( ᐛ )و I'm Felix!
❁ I'm a 18 year old probably neurodivergent franco-american transmasc guy!
❁ I live in the North of France most of the year but every summer I go to my grandparents' in Ohio for two months!
❁ I like to yap about the French school system (that I did on hard mode), linguistics, things related to gimmick blogs, and queer stuff!
(I'm in art school [private school] now so I only know the french school system up till the end of highschool)
❁ I use he/him, IRL people who don't know me that well default to she/her, online people tend to do they/them, I don't really care that much tbh
yapping that is now irrelevant but that i'm leaving anyways:
(iel is the closest thing we have to they/them but unlike in english it's just a neopronoun and people find it hard + french is gendered as fuck so if you're afab you can ungender yourself a bit by removing the useless Es on the ends of words [grand= masc big; grande= fem big] but it just sounds like you're masc then) (oh also fun fact cause I did biology*: most words to describe a flower's organs are male, including the female reproductive system, and the like 2 words that are feminine are part of the male reproductive system. Our language is unnecessarily gendered in such a way that it doesn't even work right lol)
*pour les français: j'ai fait spé art pla et svt, et nsi en première
Transl: we have 3 i guess electives in 11th grade and 2 in 12th and I did "sciences of the earth and life" (biology/geology), art; and computer science/programming in 11th
❁ Most of the time I'll post in English, occasionally I'll slip into French but that happens so rarely that I'll usually translate it in the tags
On the topic of accessibilty, I try to write image descriptions when I post pictures but that takes a lot of spoons that quite frankly if I'm on tumblr i don't usually have so I apologize in advance
As for reblogging i don't usually have the energy for that or much tagging
-> semi related side note: if you want to use French in a fic but don't speak it, feel free to ask me for help translating! I've seen someone translate "pretty please" literally and expressions like that were not meant to be translated 😭 Any ship, any rating, gore or nsfw are fine!
❁ Naps's [@/kidnaps-you] mod and I aren't actually in a romantic relationship, I'm aroace-spec and I think they might also be? I don't remember for them though
on that: i may be aroace-spec; i have been told, a surprising amount of times, that i'm good at flirting, and since my friends like to be flirted with, i now slip into flirting very, very easily lmao (i have nearly accidentally flirted with both teachers AND MY MOM CAUSE I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION) --> if i accidentally do that with you and it makes you uncomfortable, please let me know!!
oh and for the record i'm rather dominant when it comes to that, so if you want me to act more submissive, i can, but chances are i'll end up slipping out of that lmao
❁ I use the tags:
#no tags leave me alone whenever I post something (because tumblr kept saying "post without tags?? Posts with tags are seen by twice as many peopl-" do i look like i care)
#demandes for asks (literal translation of the word "asks")
#truc de notes and #(notes thing) for posts I got summoned to by The List™️ (if you've somehow ended up on here without encountering it before, it's a list of all the geographical gimmick blogs + some random others I think who are willing to be tagged in posts to increase the notes- typically i use this on posts that are like "x notes and I do y" or posts that have been cursed with 10k notes and i don't use it so much on reblog bait)
#transl: for when i spoke french but then translated into English in the tags
#doldre's movies: currently just for sharing stuff i found on letterboxed; eventually it'll probably include ramblings on movies as i watch them lol {i will warn for spoilers!}
#france's ads and spam: for sharing ads or spam messsages i encounter - this happens less frequently now cause I've increased the amount of adblocker stuff I have
And unfortunately more and more frequently, #vent for, well, vent posts (usually about or related to friends who know my main)
If i'm complaining about school stuff (usually the Adobe suit), I don't have a tag for that cause i'm usually too pissed at Adobe to remember what tags i use lmao
In case you can't tell, I like over clarifying things lol (this is a surprisingly clear post from me), but in case anything isn’t clear, feel free to ask me what I meant!

If the only thing that has kept you going was outliving Mitch McConnell, imma need yall to pick a new person to outlive and fast. Your mission is not over.
i will not be providing context cause it's too long to explain for not much
is calling someone "puppy" a form of bdsm? and is "daddy/mommy"?
i am kinky/into bdsm; both are bdsm (pet play, age play)
i am kinky/into bdsm; puppy is bdsm, mommy/daddy aren't
i am kinky/into bdsm; puppy isn't bdsm, mommy/daddy are
i am kinky/into bdsm; neither are bdsm
i am vanilla*; both are bdsm
i am vanilla; puppy is bdsm, mommy/daddy aren't
i am vanilla; puppy isn't bdsm; mommy/daddy are
i am vanilla; neither are bdsm
nuance?
Remaining time: 6 days 8 hours
*vanilla = opposite of bdsm, the more socially acceptable thing
ok i lied here's a hint of context
there's a romanceable character in a video game i like who does call the player puppy (...non consensually)
while people were complaining about how the game devs should maybe have let the player tell her not to call them puppy, this character got referred to several times as having been designed "for the kinksters" (albeit poorly)
and i spent so long trying to figure out what about a character in a game where no one can even say shit is particularly kinky before realizing that perhaps my friendgroup has been warping my perception of things and that it's the fact she calls the player puppy that makes her for the kinksters
in which case........... man i've called at least 3 of my friends puppy over the 10 months, to the point where that seems like super basic to me
the juxtaposition with daddy/mommy is cause, to me, a nickname's a nickname; could it be said that "puppy" /petplay is BDSM? yeah. but why is nicknaming someone after a soft and cute animal the ""weird"" thing to do. i personally have a decent relationship with my parents but i know so many people who would 100% prefer a puppy to their parents
being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

Not gonna lie this makes me a bit irritated. Here's the real version of this photo:
Instead of a cutesie reference to film censorship it was an explicit statement of defiance of Maryland's criminalization gay sex, which was not repealed until 2002. This wasn't a guy saying "Oh they can't put what I do in the movies according to a completely voluntary industry code" he was saying "The State of Maryland wants to put me in jail for being gay and having gay sex."
It wasn't a guy being cheeky about sex in an ambiguous, cute way. It was a man stating, in no uncertain terms, that a whole state of the United States considered him a criminal for being homosexual.
I'm not going to post it to not doxx myself but I just saw an ad for something in the town I'm staying in for two months, which isn't a particularly large town.
Even ignoring the fact that it knows precisely where I am, why the fuck are the ads targeted specifically to here??? At home the ads are just generic things like capcut's AI or really lame video games, or Jesus, or completely nonsensical things; nothing about where I live.
The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

All these industries with shortages of workers and they can’t figure out why.
Im proposing the hypothesis that the reason we don’t have enough doctors/pilots/bus drivers/etc is that maybe, just maybe, having your entire industry function as a lifelong hazing ritual isn’t the best recruiting strategy.
Doctors are subject to 8 years of post-secondary education and are forced to work 48 hour shifts.
Pilots and other transportation workers have absurd hours of service requirements that start your rest period as “the moment you shut the vehicle down” and can be as short as 9 hours in some cases.
Railroad workers have to be available on-call 6 days a week and be ready within two hours notice. They don’t get sick time.
Retail workers have to keep a veneer of politeness against any and all abuse or they can be fired.
Truck drivers get paid by mileage and rarely see pay for shipper or receiver delays.
Work should not be designed to make you a miserable burnout and yet here we are.
saw a comment that misspelled “kind gesture” as “kind jester” and am now imagining a beautiful world where we praise good samaritans by calling them kind jesters. good on you, you gentle fool. you’ve made the world a sweeter and sillier place.

American cars are fricking HUGE, and my grandparents are being all like "well... We'll see if there's space for that" and meanwhile my mom and I are like "...guys we could probably fit this in our much smaller french car what on earth are you talking about"
