what are some french versions of english internet abbreviations (lol, bc, dw, ect.)?
at the top of my head (feel free to suggest additions in comments) :
cc -> coucou = hi
pq -> pourquoi = why
prcq/pcq -> parce que = because
svp/stp -> s'il vous plaît/s'il te plaît = please
dsl -> désolé = sorry
tkt/tqt -> t'inquiète = don't worry
mdr -> mort de rire = dead of laughter, akin to lol, tho we also use lol in french
ptdr -> pété de rire = burst out laughing, akin to lmao

J'ai passé 10 min à débattre avec ma mère à propos de si l'animal sur la couverture du magazine WWF était un léopard ou un guépard, tout ça pour que ce soit un jaguar

J’adore dans Tale of the Nine Tailed quand les frères de Lee rencontrer un autre être mythique parce que chaque fois c’est comme
Lee Yeon: bah oui je vous connais nous avons présenté il y a 500 années à une conférence
Lee Rang: t’es qui putain? *essayer de lui combattre*
no cruel jokes or pranks this April 1st we should instead celebrate the better April 1 holiday
J’aime l’idée d’un crossover entre Saiki K et Death Note parce que j’imagine une scène avec Light et L à l’université dans un cours fairent leurs monologues longs sur si Light semble comme Kira et la caméra faire un zoom avant l’arrière de l’amphi où Saiki à dit mentalement «TAISEZ! VOUS!»
can you provide any more. uh. vocabularies gay en français? (tried to ask in french, but couldn't make heads or tails of how to structure questions haha)
you don't know how big is my smile is right now
1. the basics of gender, sexuality and romantic labels
tldr: its the same as in english but with a french accent. really, once you know how to say "sexual", "romantic" and "gender", you just add the prefix of your choice and voilà. to make it even easier, those words are VERY close to their english counterparts:
sexual = sexuel.le -> homosexuel.le, bisexuel.le...
romantic = romantique -> aromantique, panromantique...
gender = genre -> transgenre, bigenre...
but in the end, still like in english, we often shorten these words to their prefix alone: "je suis bi", "il est aro"...
and if you wonder about labels which don't follow this structure, i suggest you look it up for yourself, but there's still a 98% chance the term is The Same With a French Accent, exemples:
gay = gay (i shit you not)
lesbian = lesbienne
sapphic = sapphique
achillean = achilléen
non binary = non binaire
c'est vraiment aussi simple que ça :)
2. how to fuck this binary shit
if you're familiar with french, you probably know it's a gendered language, and maybe wonder how you can speak about people who don't wish to be gendered as masc or fem. the answer is inclusive writing (écriture inclusive), which i actually already showed you above, see:
fem form: bisexuelle
masc form: bisexuel
inclusive form: bisexuel.le
works the same for gendered nouns:
fem form: musicienne
masc form: musicien
inclusive form: musicien.ne
as you can see, in most cases, you can obtain the inclusive form of a word by combining their masc and fem form and a "separator" . i chose to use a simple period, but a hyphen or median point ("·" <- this thing) and probably more* can also be used - edit after seeing comments : take note that using a dot can sometimes fuck up screen readers and also be read as a website url!
in other cases (especially for words ending in -eux/-euse or -teur/-trice), inclusive form can be obtained by smashing the fem and masc form all together:
fem form: actrice
masc form: acteur
inclusive form: acteurice
*however, i need you to keep in mind
i am not a french teacher, just trying my best to explain a pretty complex mess. @ french speakers, if you see any mistake or anything i missed, please speak up.
inclusive writing is still being heavily debated, so it has no official guidelines, tbh even i freestyle it whenever i'm too lazy to look up how i should write something. is "lea" the correct inclusive form for "le/la"? fuck if i know but i sure will use it because who even knows.
and ofc inclusive writing is not only useful for non binary people, but also a tool for feminism that allows to get past the "masculine wins" rule (= when writing plurals, if a single item/person in the group is masc, the entire group must be gendered as such)!
3. mmh pronpuns
again, if you know french, you know we have no equivalent to "they" as even the plural forms for "she" and "he" are gendered. so there goes your only option if you're uninterested in either of those : neopronouns, my beloveds.
the most common one (and the one you should use when unsure of a person's gender or paired with inclusive writing to fuck that "masculine wins" shit) : iel, iels for plural. some other french neopronouns i saw include ael, ul, ol, ille, xel... but feel free to make your own up, this is what neopronouns are about. btw les francophones je suis curieux.se, si vous utilisez d'autres pronoms que elle/il/iel, dites moi quoi !
4. important!
faggot = pédé (there are SO MANY synonyms but i'll just give you the most common)
dyke = gouine (alternatively : goudou)
tranny = travelot (trav for short)
Saiki est trop juste parce que, savez vous quoi, si je pourrais téléporter chaque fois j’ai vu un insecte dans ma maison je ferais 100% le même chose
frenchblr or rather french tumblr is there a french community? less on the side of french learners community more on the side of french blogs i.e. ppl posting in french whether it's native speakers or not? i'd love to frenchify my dash more for immersion but it's so hard to find blogs
frenchblr ou plutot les francophones sur tumblr y a-t-il une communaute francaise ? pas necessairement pour ceux qui apprennent la langue en ce qui concerne astuces et conseils mais j'aimeria trouver des personnes qui publient en francais que ce soit les natives ou les apprenants ? j'aimerais bien suivre plus de blog francophones afin d'augmenter l'immersion
