Welcome to Junelezen 2024!

Just one month away, it's Junelezen again!

Throughout June, we invite you to participate in a prompt event celebrating all those beautiful Elezen OCs!

How you participate is completely up to you - use the prompts for screenshots or writing or art; use all prompts or just one that tickles your fancy - just make sure to use the tag #junelezen 2024 so we can see and reblog your post!

Our current mod team would like to thank the previous mod team for running this event for several years, and we hope to do you proud! The mod team will monitor the tag throughout the month and reblog every entry we find - please be patient, it might be that our queue runs full or we miss an entry, but if your post doesn't get reblogged within three days, feel free to tag us!

Get ready, get hype, and /blowkiss at every Elezen in your Light and Full Parties!

But most of all: HAVE FUN!

So I've been learning French for a while and 'faire' is actually an incredible word. Like what a fucking breakthrough in economy of language.

Faire is a verb that is usually translated into English as "to do/to make," but it covers way more actions than that, which is very confusing for new speakers. because (I have realized) that's not really what faire means.

Faire is actually a word that just gestures vaguely in the direction of the object of the sentence and goes "you know." "Je fais du velo." "Je fais du courses." "Je fais mes valises." I'm biking. I go grocery shopping. I'm packing my bags. You're just sort of pointing at a bike and going "you know, the obvious thing you'd do with it."

English: "You mean RIDE it??"

French: "Sure whatever."

Like idk I just really enjoy the concept of a catch-all verb that you can just slap onto almost anything because who fucking gives a shit, you get the idea. There's a bike. what do you think I'm going to do with it.

New headcanon for the Elezen language.

LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS

Unfortunately, the mods won't be able to be part of Junelezen this year. We don't want to cancel this blog though, since we know how much joy and inspiration it gives to people.

So we're looking for volunteers to take over moderation of Junelezen.

If you're interested, please reach out to us. ❤️ Reblogs are very much appreciated.
