Je suis désespérément romantique, vraiment il en faut pas beaucoup plus pour conquérir mon cœur

New dream unlocked: danser une valse sur Le Temps Des Fleurs avec quelqu'un

Oh the joy that brings the gleeful surprised smile of friends you haven't seen in a while when they didn't expect to see you 💕

(Saw my drag daughter and her sisters for a drag race viewing party and they forgot I would be there 😁 I love them so much)

Sharing this here to get the word farther

Avoir des problèmes d'attention et vivre avec un chien c'est un traquenard
Je rentre dans une pièce, y'a Lupa, je lui fais des câlins en mode gaga et après j'oublie ce que j'étais en train de faire 🙃

Qu'est-ce qui gène le gouvernement et la droite dans l'affiche de l'inter-LGBT ?

Est-ce l'appel à défaire l'extrême-droite, la présence d'une femme musulmane, celle du drapeau palestinien, celle des drapeaux de Bulgarie et de Hongrie où les droits LGBTI sont attaqués, ou bien tout cela à la fois ?

My train is finally moving again, thank you internet, goodbye until next time my train is delayed 👋🏼

And then when the final season came out and Obsidian was revealed: IT WAS A MULTI-FUSION WITH A LAVA SWORD

TO WHICH I WOULD RESPOND (and here come the bragging part)
"Obsidians are lava glass, which means they form from the several stones melting and reforming within specific conditions, so no it could not be my gem because it would obviously be a fusion"
(mind you the final season was not out yet)
⤵️

I was also often wearing an obsidian stone that was gifted to me by a soon-to-be lover. I wore it almost as a chocker and the shape fits perfectly between my clavicles
So naturally, some of my friends were saying "of this would be your gem if you were in Steven Universe"
⤵️

I'm stuck on the train because of a tree on the train tracks, so for the sake of my friends instead of spamming them because I'm bored I will instead tell you about my most niche brag
Context first: when I was in college, studying game design, my friends and I were very into Steven Universe
⤵️

One of my love languages is pebbleing so yeah I went into a church with a nice architecture because it was on the way to my date and I was a bit early and took tons of pictures for my architecture nerd friend
And yes I took close-ups and zoomed on the ceiling details

We're working on poems in art therapy and that just reminded me that I should post mines somewhere someday

C'est terrible après le segment de Mauvaises Herbes que j'ai animé j'ai envie de re-bosser sur des jeux vidéo maintenant

Les jams sont un mode de création apprécié par les développeureuses de jeux. Comment les minorités de genre s'approprient-elles ces espaces ? Chloé Desmoineaux et @blanchemaurice.com des Audacieu.x.ses nous donneront des pistes lors de notre prochain event le 25 mai à partir de 16h sur Twitch !

Dernier segment à vous présenter : une table ronde sur les jams en mixité choisie. Trop hâte d'écouter cette super table ronde préparée par @safyadev.bsky.social et animée par @louiemoon.bsky.social les goats 💜

The great thing about having many close trans friends is that whoever I visit, I know they'll lend me a blahaj to sleep with me while I'm staying 😌

Only if you're queer (+ pretty sure someone told me this one)
"C'est la plus grande pédale du magasin de vélo"
"The biggest pedal of the bicycle shop" (pédal is the equivalent of "faggot" in French, please do not use it if you're not queer X))

From my grandfather, when something falls on the ground
"Ça tombera pas plus bas"
"It won't fall any lower" (further? Not entirely sure how to translate properly)

From my grandmother
"Dieu seul le sait, et i' s'en fout"
"God only knows, and they don't care"

Non-exhaustive list of French sayings I like to use that were either taught by my grandparents or I came up with + their English equivalent and/or translation
⬇️

That means you can make an equivalent joke when someone says that by responding "yeah but cops have helicopter" in English and "ouais mais les flics ont des dents" (yeah but cops have teeth) to get the person to give you what you asked for"

I genuinely felt like a genius

Wanna know what my roommate has to live with?
The other day I got out of the shower saying "I just had an epiphany
If "pigs" is a slur for cops in English
And french équivalent is "poulet" (chicken)
And the idiom "when pigs can fly" is "quand les poules auront des dents" (when chicks have teeth)
⬇️

As if I needed another reason to love the guy
