beautiful beloved wife I have a French question for u

I have a character who speaks French and I don’t know how french pet names work sksjdjdjd- if he wanted to call someone “my sun” or “my sunrise/sunlight” how would he do that? Is it just “mon soleil” or do I have to do something fancier than that?

<3

To be honest, I'm not a pet name expert either, but I'll do my best. My first instinct was to say that if you want to use it as a pet name in a sentence, like "thank you, darling" or "do you like it, love?" it would sound a little strange, because generally we don't make up pet names as much I feel like. But then I think I just haven't been hearing pet names much in french so I'm just not used to it, as opposed to english. If it's explicitly waxing poetics, as like a metaphor, it definitely works though, so like "she means so much to me - she's my sun, the light of my days" etc. So I do think maybe mon soleil would work. I'd say the possessive is good to keep, most pet names have have possessives in french too except the basics.

Oh yeah depends on their vibes but we add "petit(e)" in front of names sometimes, so you have mon chou but also mon petit chou, mon chat and mon p'tit chat etc, "mon petit soleil" sounds more like a pet name, but it's one of those pet names where it also really works for your kid if you see the vibe? The kind where they're not necessarily infantilising but they could go there depending on context? There's lots of those though so don't let that hold you back, and personally to my biased ear it sounds more like a nickname with the petit.

We also do combos, like mon chaton d'amour or mon ange en sucre, but that's extremely lovey-dovey and schmaltzy (which is a word I didn't know existed but I'm glad I found). If you want examples for soleil, "mon soleil d'amour", "mon soleil adoré" or "soleil de ma vie" work, they're way too mushy but sometimes that's what you need.

I've looked through those silly pet names list and I've seen "mon rayon de soleil", "my ray of sunlight" (except the light part is implied in french because we don't word it the same way) and that one is more intense than, say, "baby", but not in the soppy way, a little more in the poetic way, which is the vibes "my sunlight" has for me so that would be a good one I think. For sunrise maybe "aube de mes jours"? That's "dawn of my days" (because the translation to sunrise is "lever de soleil" and that's way too long to be only part of a nickname) and it's a similar vibe to the english version, that is to say way too poetic for normal people asking about the groceries but appropriate if you want something poetically soppy.

So in conclusion probably mon soleil is good enough!

#funfact i saw a list of three which was a 'pet names for your man' list #and the three were the french equivalents of my prince my sun and my beloved (mon prince mon soleil mon bien-aimé) #and that is You #the list has You vibes #that was fun thanks! #wow i have an asks tag now #wow i have a ramble tag now

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through

#art #i had to block multiple people because of this post and i easily could have blocked more #do you guys have any idea how exhausting it is to hear 400 people make the exact same unfunny joke each thinking they're being original #or worry that another person might get harassed over a post i made because of the way people are talking about them #or be harassed/insulted YOURSELF because some people don't know how to fucking behave #you guys don't get reblogs back. you should be grateful i'm leaving the post up at all.

nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.

me: oh cool

nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.

me: oh cool

nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.

me: oh... cool?

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

My solution for bloatware is this: by law you should hire in every programming team someone who is Like, A Guy who has a crappy laptop with 4GB and an integrated graphics card, no scratch that, 2 GB of RAM, and a rural internet connection. And every time someone in your team proposes to add shit like NPCs with visible pores or ray tracing or all the bloatware that Windows, Adobe, etc. are doing now, they have to come back and try your project in the Guy's laptop and answer to him. He is allowed to insult you and humilliate you if it doesn't work in his laptop, and you should by law apologize and optimize it for him. If you try to put any kind of DRM or permanent internet connection, he is legally allowed to shoot you.

With about 5 or 10 years of that, we will fix the world.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

#self #last night i kept stimming thinking about this LOVE IS AO REAL. AUGH #i dont like damming but this is a step in the right direction AND it gets the public involved #i love that! more public interactions like this in ecology please! thats how you bring change! thats how you make ppl see the beauty in life #marine biology #ecology

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

#information death of the internet etc #legit this has been SO SO helpful #shout out to mastodon infosec server for this one #before 2022 we did not really have the AI-content-farms because. the tech did not exist to the public. #and you can knock back the date if need be #obviously this does not FIX the problem but #me.txt
