[ Pats his shoulder. ]

Of course they do! The south simply do not wish to appreciate it. Perhaps some day they will but.. even I would hold my breath.

[ A tiny grin. ]

Well, it’s their loss. I don’t know, they’re all so arrogant. Is it because they have beaches? I think it is. We have beaches too! 

Mais...very cold ones, but I digress.

I would never go as far to say I hate the south – but you know I do understand the prejudices regarding our accents, mon couer.

[berloquer-blog]

You’re right, you’re right, that was a bit out of line--

I just don’t understand what’s so bad about it! If nothing else, our accents have character, you know?

[berloquer-blog]

I hate the south of this country.

I am not a hateful man but it’s not my fault you can’t understand my accent.

Vlaams? Of course. It’s horrible but, you know. You should just learn proper Dutch and teach the rest of those clowns how to speak properly.

[berloquer-blog]

But everyone who speaks Dutch here speaks Flemish, why bother with the standard kind? It seems a little silly, don’t you think. People already say I talk funny when I speak French anyways. And it’s my first language!

upsides of using a model as a faceclaim

weird photo shoots 

more variety in facial features

downsides

icons look so fucking weird and stiff and awkward

Oh, my sweet !  She sounds like an adorable cream puff – you really should try to talk to her. All you have to do is say ‘hello’, start a little conversation, I’m sure you could manage and that she’d fall for you quickly !

Cream puff-- 

[ A little giggle, if it can be called that. ]

Oh, I don’t know, women make me far too nervous. Ah, well, not nervous! Just a little self-conscious, I’m always worried I’ll say something silly, you know?

I’m worried she’ll laugh at me, really. I couldn’t stand that.

[lumiineux-deactivated20151221]

You darling sister is perfectly fine today, my lovely brother – and even more so now ! 

[ Straight away she’s sitting down before him, ‘eager’ an underestimation. ]

Spill.

[berloquer-blog]

Well, she’s a baker’s daughter, I think. I met her at the bakery near my house, she’s very sweet. I like her a lot. She’s blonde, very small, very pretty.

I don’t know how to talk to her, though, at all. I haven’t had a girlfriend since the...sixties, I think. And that was so long ago.

...So. I guess now’d be a good time to practice my Dutch. Do you know any of the Flemish dialect? I really need to work on it. It’s been so long since I’ve had a conversation in Dutch at all.

@lumiineux​

And how is my darling sister today? 

You know, I was thinking, you should let me do your hair sometime. It’s been a while since I’ve braided anyone’s hair, but it’d be good practice.

See, there’s this girl I sort of like who lives next door...

[ Oh no. ]

Cécile, can I ask you to try this bread I made? I haven’t baked in so long, I feel like it will just taste funny.
