I cooka da Brisket

Hey folks, here are some commonly used phrases in italian that i see in fics that arent properly translated sometimes and as someone who speaks decent italian, lives in rome + assassin's creed fan I'd like to give some italian that might be helpful for fic writing (based on convos i have daily):

(note, contemporary italian, i know almost nothing abt 15th century florentine italian)

my love -amore mio

che cazzo - what the fuck

che cazzo vuoi - what the fuck do you want

mamma mia - yes this is actually used often and unironically, a similar expression to saying "jeez"

ma - but (ex. "Sure we could have dinner tonight, ma...")

vaffanculo - fuck you

mannaggia - damn

porca troia - lit. "Fucking bitch" but can also be used to cuss like saying "fucking hell"

di nulla - "it's nothing" (other possible response to "grazie")

in bocca al lupo - old way of saying "good luck," the literal translation is "get it in the wolf of the mouth." the response is "crepi," meaning something akin to "i'll kill it!"

and yeah dw, translations online can be confusing sometimes so i get it TT hopefully this small compilation helps somehow :") happy writing!

“Leonardo would love this.”

“I should go see if Malik has need of me.”

“I should go back to Davenport and check on everyone.”

He spent years with them, he cared for them. Do you think he ever sees a white feather and thinks about his mom Maria? Does he ever look at a plane and feel joyous laughter bubble up because

“Leonardo, look at what they’ve done! Flying machines just like you built!”

Does he smell a new tea Shaun buys and for a moment go “Malik would like this.”

And everytime it happens he has to remind himself that they’re not there.

Oh the grief he would feel at each moment. They’re dead, they’ve been dead for centuries and yet he feels like he just lost them. And he did, because just a month ago he was sitting on a bench with Leonardo talking about weapons. It wasn’t that long ago that Malik cursed him for drawing too much attention to him. It was even sooner that he watched two of his friends get married.

And oh, doesn’t that grief feel stolen? It’s such a raw feeling. An emotion that burrows in your chest. It makes your head feel too heavy for your shoulders and your throat feel like it’s closing. But it’s not his is it?

He grieves for friends and family who don’t even know he exists. He never met them, and wouldn’t that make it so much worse? The feeling of wrongness makes grief so much more powerful does it not?

Any film featuring the US military is paid for by the US military. They have the final word on what comes out. These films are recruitment tools. Same applies to TV shows, and doubtless many will soon be showing up.

Do not be fooled by these films and shows. They are designed to bring in new recruits. When these are released, there is a surge in new people enlisting in the military. These recruits swiftly discover they were fed bullshit, but now they're stuck due to a contract. Going AWOL, away without leave, is desertion. You will be caught and put on trial for desertion, and they are not light with the sentencing.

Please, for the love of fuck, do not enlist with the military. You are cannon fodder. They do not care about you.

Recruiters are told to lie. To do whatever it fucking takes to enlist new people. Do not fucking fall for it.

if you want to quit, no matter how long you've been in, these folks may be able to help you https://girightshotline.org/
