Expressions from Quebec and Montreal, for eventual Check, Please! fanfiction writers:

I thought about doing this ever since I read the comic and saw Jack speak french. I thought that if there were some people who wanted to add small expressions used by french canadian people when they use english (of course not everybody does it, but most people in my english classes say them pretty often.) They're basically short french canadian terms that are sometimes often used as a habit.

Tsé: Equivalent of y'know. (Contraction of tu sais.) Used at the beginning of a sentence. Example: Tsé, this guy had an awful attitude last night.

Ben: not like the name. Equivalent to like, or well, ... Used at the beginning of a sentence. Example: Ben, I don't know, take whatever you want.

Genre: Also an equivalent of like, but to give an example, clarify something. Used before an example or what you want to explain, mostly in the middle of a sentence. Or it is just a simple expression without a real meaning. It's really similar to how american people (mostly girls) use ,like, everywhere without noticing it. So if you want to use it this way, you can put it either at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence, it doesn't really matter. Example: You know that lady next door? Genre, the one with that weird ass cat?

And now you can use them in every sentence if you want to make your character sound super annoying or really bad at speaking english (imagine a bad french accent while reading it):

Tsé the super fancy shirt you told me about yesterday? Ben, I saw a girl wearing it at the mall earlier, genre no big deal.

Little note: I wouldn't use them much for Jack, like in the example above. Since he's quite young and uses English pretty much all the time, he wouldn't let those slip that much. They are pretty cringy to hear. Use them a lot for a player that almost exclusively speaks french, in the Canadiens, for example, and a little bit for Bob Zimmermann, since he would spend most of his time speaking french, in my mind. Though that's just a headcannon.

If you ever need help on these, or want full translations for some sentences, just let me know!

( @jackscrutchie I don't know if you're planning on doing an omgcp fanfic, but if you do, thought that would be helpful for you!)

Check, Please! Year One Postcard Print #1: Gale Galligan

There’s only three days left to back the only Check, Please! Year One kickstarter in history! So technically, you only have 3 days to decide if you want to get a postcard print set in the mail this fall which will include this illustration by Gale aka robochai​. 

(You might be familiar with Gale’s work if you ordered a super sold-out copy of Huddle!, got the chance to snag the volleyball fanzine Nice Receive!, or watched our kickstarter sketch jam this weekend. Gale is as talented as she is a great friend to work with.  You can bet we’re going to do more projects together.)

"Well then! 'The Matthew Earl Rupert Award is given to the senior man who during his time at Samwell has exhibited outstanding character on and off the play field.' And he also gets this nifty booooowl." [x]

Jack during his last Samwell hockey fan appreciation night. The entire team sits at foldout tables in the atrium of Faber, and the boys sign jerseys and posters and take pictures with fans. And then the Samwell Daily shows up and Jack gives his standard annual sound bite: “Events like these are a great way to give back to the fans. And it’s fun to see everyone come out before the season starts. It’s really motivating.” (I did this today during a small 1-day convention we had for class. Nothing makes me happier than getting commissioned to draw Check, Please!)
