An (inclusive) list of French endearments to use in your works

This list can be used by both French-speakers and non-French-speakers; As a French-speaker, it's taken me a while to get accustomed to inclusive speech because it feels really off sometimes, specifically in speech, because the inclusive terms are new words, and not something we've always had in the language (like, for example, the singular they), so this can serve as a guide for that.

Endearments to use when addressing a character who uses feminine terms

Darling -> "Chérie"

My darling -> "Ma chérie"

My darling -> "Ma chérie"

Dear* -> "Chère"

My dear -> "Ma chère"

My dear -> "Ma chère "

My friend -> "Mon amie"

The following two are never used in English but are regularly used in French. I've especially heard it said from parents to their children.

Treasure -> "Trésor"

My treasure -> "Mon trésor"

Endearments to use when addressing a character who uses masculine terms

Darling -> "Chéri"

My darling -> "Mon chéri"

My darling -> "Mon chéri"

Dear* -> "Cher"

My dear -> "Mon cher"

My dear -> "Mon cher "

My friend -> "Mon ami"

Treasure -> "Trésor"

My treasure -> "Mon trésor"

Regarding characters who use gender-neutral terms

French does not have any official gender-neutral terms. We typically consider the default to be masculine, but this is considered misogynist by many, so some have come up with some gender neutral variants for pronouns and such, but they aren't commonly used all that much. That being said, here are some alternatives to the binary you could explore:

Darling -> "Chéri.e"

My darling -> "Maon/man chéri.e"

My darling -> "Maon/man chéri.e"

Dear* -> For this one specifically, I propose a combination of the feminine and masculine forms; "Chèr"

My dear -> "Maon/man chèr"

My dear -> "Maon/man chèr "

My friend -> "Mon ami.e"

Treasure -> "Trésor"

My treasure -> "Mon trésor"

If you want to further read on inclusivity in French, here's a document I found, written by DiverGenres, going into further detail about inclusive language in French

*: This translation of "dear" can be used both as a noun and an adjective (for instance, you can have A address B by "cher/chère/chèr" or "cher/chère/chèr B")

who did this to me

[alastors-totally-canon-deertail]

I’m generally baffled by the fact that people think Charlie is gonna kick Alastor out of the hotel or cut him out or want him dead!

Adam literally directly targeted her and the hotel for no other reason than to get back at her for daring to go against him. He came at her with no remorse, no mercy, no empathy.

He tried to kill all her friends, succeeded in causing the death of one of them (Dazzle) and technically killed another (Pentious) and was implied to have kill one more (Alastor).

He directly tied to kill her….

And she still stopped Lucifer from beating him up worse. She still thought he’d had enough. She still wanted to let him live.

She still refers to Niffty killing Adam as tragic.

Even when Vox targeted Heaven, had lost his mind, was leveling the city, and killing droves of sinners, she never thought to target him with lethal force.

And these were her villians. People directly hindering her goal. People who didn’t give a shit about her or the people she cares about. People she couldn’t stand.

And she still chose mercy.

And yet people think that ALASTOR is destined to be the one that finally shows Charlie that not everyone can be saved???

Alastor is gonna be the ONE exception to her merciful nature?

Alastor, who is her friend?

Alastor, who she cares about?

Alastor, who she worries for?

Alastor, who is most likely the most supportive role model she’s ever had?

Alastor, who was the first person to sponsor ? The reason the Hotel stood even a slight chance against Adam?

Alastor, who she admits made things that were hard easier??

Alastor, who Viv, Amir and Erika have said holds a special bond with her?

That Alastor?

Charlie’s gonna wash her hands with him and throw him outta the hotel?

The very same hotel where she stood ten toes down in front of Vox and said,

“I believe anyone can be redeemed.”

That’s what she’s gonna do?

…….

……

Are we watching the same show?

i saw someone say nobody needs to know what a .txt file is anymore. what the fuck is the world coming to

[dreamsy990]

unironically i think we need to bring back computer labs because APPARENTLY some people WERENT taught basic computer literacy and internet safety in school

[dreamsy990]

things about computers/the internet i think kids should be formally taught in schools because theyre important to know and the amount of soon to be grown adults i know who know NOTHING about any of these is quite frankly almost all of them (and resources to learn if you dont know these things, because its never to late to get better with computers)

how to troubleshoot by yourself when you have a technical problem

what common file types are

some very basics on how to use ""developer tools"" on your computer (because i cant think of a better way to refer to them) like task manager and command prompt (and their mac equivalents, terminal and activity monitor ofc)

how to read and understand a privacy policy and what your personal data is, as well as what it being collected actually means and steps you can take to keep it private

how to understand terms of service (hey. if you have trouble with reading legalese and worry about being able to understand these policies anyways, here's a site that gives basic summaries of privacy policies and ToS)

what a cookie actually is

internet privacy and your digital footprint!! seriously i dont know why we stopped teaching people that they shouldnt be putting their entire real identity online in a world where your online actions can ruin you irl

basic safety measures like antivirus software (and why you should use it or if the built in one on windows or mac is enough for you) and backing up your computer (also a mac guide)

common keyboard shortcuts (and on mac)

as an additional note: things i think everyone should know on computers and the internet but schools may bit hesitant to teach about for whatever moral/legal standards schools pretend to operate on

vpns and adblockers! (btw for most of these where you can pay for things im purposefully not recommending any specific software but seriously just use ublock origin for an adblocker)

how to not get a virus while pirating something

what a temporary email is and when to use one

red flags that you shouldn't trust a website (and how to quickly check the security of a site)

what javascript on a website does and how to disable it to get around paywalls

[dreamsy990]

ok one last addition! if you want to take it one level higher, i think learning the very basics of at least one programming language is good for people. it makes computers less scary and it makes you feel very cool, and a lot of people get discouraged about it because it seems overly complicated and hard to learn outside a formal classroom setting, so heres some resources for learning the very basics of python (because i consider it the easiest language to learn and knowing one language will make it easier to learn others)

an online compiler so you dont need to download anything or worry about running code directly on your computer if that makes you nervous

a basic video guide to introduce you to python and walk you through beginner steps

a guide to some syntax and commands you should know (this was literally my lifeline in my first CS class)

some performance tasks to give you things to code to practice and assess yourself
