I am terrified tonight.
Tonight, March 5th, my president talk to France. God, I am terrified.
What is going on in the world ? Between Russia, the US and now Europe ? Fuck, I am european. It terrifies me. He's talking about creating a european army, to 'defend'. But fucking hell ! you can just see he wants to go to war, so he can stay president longer !
I'm going to put what he said -cause I found it-, and put the translation for the non-french speakers : "C’est notre sécurité qui est menacée. Si un pays peut envahir un autre en Europe, c’est la paix qui est menacée" -It is our security that is threatened. If one country can invade another in Europe, peace is threatened- Yay, national security, how nice ! You're going to cost us. Even if he says that it wont, it will.
"La menace russe est là, et touche les pays d’Europe. La Russie a fait du conflit ukrainien un conflit mondial" -The Russian threat is there, and affects the countries of Europe. Russia has made the Ukrainian conflict a global conflict- New world war ? Welp, I'm studying history. Never really intended to live what I'm studying...
"Qui peut croire que la Russie d’aujourd’hui s’arrêtera à l’Ukraine ?" -Who can believe that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine?- They won't. Unfortunately, in my opinion, unless Putin dies -and even then, nothing is sure-, they will continue. They will be world war soon.
"Nous restons attachés à l'Otan, et à notre partenariat avec les États-Unis. Mais l'avenir de l'Europe n'a pas à être tranché à Washington et à Moscou." -We remain committed to NATO, and to our partnership with the United States. But the future of Europe does not have to be decided in Washington and Moscow.- This is probably the thing I agree the most : peace shall not be made outside Europe. It is not a matter from the US to decide who's right and who's wrong. It is not to the US to decide who wins or not. But, arms race is not the answer either. Unfortunately, it seems we do no longer have a choice.
And you know what's even more terrifying ? My brother. He listen, arrived arround half the speech, and then tried to tell us that it was not so bad. That the world wasn't changing a super speed. That, no, our president wasn't trying, in subtext, to invite more people to join the army. He does not believe war can start that fast -we told him he could'nt wait 'till he finished his masters degree at the speed the world is moving, he doesn't want to believe us.
I am shaking, 45 minutes after the speech begun. I am terrified. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I am simply terrified. I would love this text to be one of my dystopian creation. Unfortunately, it is the world today. And fuck, I don't want to be in that world.
Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat
I'm in class. Yes, again. I swear I listen (proof : i'm talking about it)
We just listened to Churchill's speech "Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat". Duuuuude ! He sound so much like Palpatine. I know it's not. But between the poor quality of the recording, and the accent -which was definetly intentional by George Lucas-, he sounds so much like him.
But yeah, that's all. I found that Churchill sounded like Palpatine ^^'
Batman Ninja : Let's talk about it
Oh man, I really need to write that rent. -just to say, i just finished watching it, it is currently 11:50pm, i am very tired. BUT !
I have issues with that movie.
First of all, what the fuck ???? What is this Feodal Japan ????
Ok, now that this history inacurracy is out, let me focus on the rest.
Why do they all sound so bland, except Joker and Harley Quinn (who laugh all the time, they should not me counted). Like ? Wtf ??? Batman voice has no depth, Red Robin is -in my opinion- to high, wtf is going on with Robin voice ??? The only ones that fit -still in my opinion, this all post is my opinion, but read 'till the end- are, as I said Joker, Harley Quinn, Nightwing and Red Hood. The rest ? Bland.
Next on the list : what did they do to Damian ?????? WHY IS HE LAUGHING LIKE THIS ??? WHERE DID THEY PUT HIM ?? He is the son of Batman -Bruce Wayne ! The dude who has so many issues with emotions !-, the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul -The Demon's Head, leader of the LoA !!-. Why. Is. He. Laughing. Like. An. Idiot. Everytime. We. See. Him ?? Like, ok, they put the fact that he likes animals, that fine, but the rest ? Sorry, but that's not Damian. We have a new Robin, and his identity is a true mistery to me.
Anyway : Mechas ??? REALLY ??? Yeah, JAPAN, we got it. -honnestly, it was kinda fun, but.... yeah, not for a Batman movie for me....
I have to think now, so it's becoming lesser problems. Maybe unpopular opinion, but the animation style isn't really my cup of tea... But I'm very picky about that so yeah...
Oh yeah ! Poison Ivy. In nearly all recent comics -that I read !-, she isn't really a villain. Yeah, she's no hero either. But a super villain who associates with Joker ? Yeah, not really. They could've taken Scarecrow though.
I think that's about all for the rent, Imma give my full opinion on the movie. It was honnestly pretty good, not rewatch material, but pretty good. Probably because I was really tired, but I enjoyed it. The moment with the monkey army ? put down my glasses and laughed. It's pretty fun, has a good message -Batman is so much more than his gadget and his technology damn it !-, so if you're a Batman fan ? Maybe give it a go. We have nearly the whole Batfamily, a thing you don't really find elsewhere (dcamu, my beloved, why do you not have Tim, Jason, Steph, Cass, Duke, AND IM FORGETTING SO MANY MORE !)
So yeah, maybe give it a go. And just so you know, there is a 2. I will watch it, probably tomorrow (maybe today, depending on when I'm actually posting this, probably in class tomorrow morining), and I'll probably give my opinion once again :)
Danny phantom is trending on Twitter right now because KSI called him ben 10 oh my god my life is not real
So I noticed things :
can we just appreciate how Bruce used Damian tt ???? Please ???? I didn't see it the first time (too focused on the story, now I went for details), and yeaaaah, i love it.
the frienship between Hal and Barry... god I love them (yeah, my favorites heroes are the original Flash and Green Lantern, could you tell ?? (Sorry for one of my friend, Nightwing is way further away :) )) And obviously : GL and the Flashes. I love them all (yeah, I love mostly Hal, Barry and Wally, but all of them T-T)
And this made me laugh, and my friend -who was beside me when I read that chapter-.
mmh... I went to see to buy the vinyl of Smoke + Mirrors because it is not available in France or Europe T-T, and saw that TODAY, january 23rd 2025 was the 10 years anniversary !!!! And just went : Oh my!!
So I went on wikipedia, to check fact this (technically it was Google at first, but it shaw me Wikipedia), aaaaand....
huh.
What ?
I meaaaan....
I went to look out for more ?
why can't anyone tell me exactly ?
Like, I'm gonna believe the merch shop I guess and, Happy Smoke and Mirrors 10 years I guess ?
(Btw, I saw one picture of that album that I want to share, because it is... juste wow :
I love it.)
Gotta love the double standard around this time of year...
When I was a kid my mom always told me that I'll never have to greet anyone by kissing (the cheeks people, I'm french.... We do 'la bise' -which I absolutely hate)
And now we're in route to see some family: juste got told that I HAVE to do 'la bise' to EVERYONE!
Mind you : I do not appreciate that side of the family, I am awfully neurodivergent, and already hate having too many people around me. I am in hell tonight.
some of my fav 'inconsistencies' between the prequel trilogy & the OT and by fav i mean i genuinely think these were good calls:
it is NOT normal for Jedi to become force ghosts when they die. that's like a brand new skill Yoda just unlocked. if Luke tried to tell ppl about Obi-wan's force ghost literally no-one, even ppl who were familiar w the Jedi when they were around, would know wtf he was talking about
R2-D2 knew everything that went down during the prequels and just opted not to tell anyone ever which is fully in-character for him
becoming a Jedi was a whole process involving 15+ years of training and formal trials to determine if you were ready for knighthood and then with Luke Yoda was just like 'yeah fuck it you're a jedi knight now. burn the jedi temple did. made up all the rules are. gives a shit who does.'
everyone just kind of forgot who the Jedi were within the span of a generation. love that.
no one talks about how annoying it is to have glasses and headphones on...
Like I have some new headphones (yay, I bought some Bose, such a great noise cancelling !), but I'm also starting to wear my glasses all the time (the right thing to do you could tell me and... yeah, absolutely). And so now, I have to chose between not having headaches because of noise around me, or having headaches because my glasses !! are pushing into my head when I'm wearing my headphones... Life sucks sometimes...
But the headphones are really great, I do recommend them to anyone who absolutely hates having noise around them while listening to music ! and they are really, really comfy.
My uni is closed. Again.
For the 3rd time in a row.
For context : I'm still in France. Our first minister passed the budget like a dumbass, and now universities have even less money than before. So students are protesting by blocking the uni..... And I am very happy to have woken up this morning... (Pls feel the irony)
