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.
Ah bah il est beau le rempart contre l'extrême-droite
If yesterday you told me today I'd go to the anniversary One Piece event in Paris AND Lando was going to get his maiden win IN MIAMI I'd have laughed in your face.
And yet here We Are.
Below some screenshots of me losing my mind twice today:
Can't believe they actually stopped the count ❤️❤️❤️
Que s'est il passé avec Eric Ciotti ? - un résumé
Me: Oh man it looks like France is about to go far right that sucks 😕
The French:
I love that I immediately understood this meme and I love that I am one of the dwindling demographics who would immediately understand this meme.
I wanted to try my hand and doing a realistically proportioned design for Moria whilst still keeping him a fat old man, haha. I rather like him.
It's not slander if I've got proof 🤓
But who WHO can sit at France table and say I have a more entertaining political life than you ?
NO ONE !
- the right (Republican Party ) leader said he allied with the far right who came first at the European
- All his colleagues said he took this decision alone and had a vote to fire him
-HE TOLD EVERYONE TO LEAVE THE BUILDING AT NOON AND LOCKED HIMSELF UP !!
- All the other members of the Republican Party are at the door and they said : « he is a traitor to ally with the far right so we will enter the building and he is no longer our leader AND WE WILL remove him from the facility physically if need be and that the psyc yard and the far right can come get him themselves too😭
-They found the women who has a double of the key two hours later and opened n the doors
- All the leftist parties made an alliance and their voters are MAKING TIKTOK EDITS ON THEIR CANDIDATES TO SEDUCE THE OTHER VOTERS
THE OLYMPICS ARE GOING TO BE A MEEEEESSSS
NEW ADDITION : Rumour has it the president of the region (kinda like a county/state) SLAPPED THE GUY WHEN HE GOT OUT !! VALERIE MAY HAVE SLAPPED ERIC !!!
