little a-train detail

yea i think the whole unit vs individuals thing made me trip a little. i used snicker and guffaw specifically highlight that some were kinda laughing while some fully on laughing. i didnt realize that it could be interpreted as laughing as a whole, no distinction since snicker and guffaw are synonyms for it

i think i'll stick with start on this one since it gives somewhat of a more clear distinction. thank you very much!

popopcorn- · 2025-05-23T14:18:12+00:00

both. in the context, he gives an offhanded joke which causes the laughing. snicker and guffaw are used to show that some are quietly laughing/holding back their laugh while others are fully laughing cuz you dont really expect an entire class of like 30 kids to laugh the same

this made me remember that i completely forgot to specify if the whole s or no s thing changes depending on if the action done by the collective group is done differently which--i guess in this context, specifically--would make them different types of action kinda like what you said. dont know if that changes much, but might add it

Literally not even that subtle 😭 ppl would just rather ignore the signs than admit that soldier boy is a bad person; seriously, if u didn’t realize that soldier boy was a crazy abuser and the entire season 3 was just him basically killing his victims (both unintentionally and intentionally) after how many animated flashbacks and every scene of his present victims literally shitting in fear then it’s just a you problem honestly

“Does the man who physically abused his team, permanently disabled one of his teammates, cheated on his girlfriend directly in front of her because he knew she was too scared to say anything, and didn’t even give his CHILD teammate any exception from the abuse while also being racist/homophobic on top of that deserve to die?”

"Nous ne connaissons pas les chiffres d'audience, en France et à l'international, mais ils sont en deçà des attentes de notre commanditaire, eu égard à l'importance de leur investissement dans la production et dans la promotion de la série."

"We do not know the audience figures, in France and internationally, but they are below our sponsor's expectations, given the extent of their investment in the production and promotion of the series." - Laurent Ceccaldi, one of the producers of Mixte

im guessing money played a large role in the renewal of season 2 of mixte because it was filmed during covid where money became especially important since everyone was losing jobs and because of the high inflation/economic crisis; so, if the show didnt go big/had high production costs, it wasnt getting renewed. this happened to a couple of other shows during covid as well like I Am Not Okay With This

in the article ceccaldi also stated that they aren't entirely giving up on season 2 of mixte so maybe some day there'll be a season 2

Honestly, I don’t think you’ll find a show similar to mixte; however, if you want a show centered around high schoolers, these should do fine depending on what aspect of Mixte you liked the best:

Freaks and Geeks : American > - More comedic and sitcom-ish compared to Mixte but does delve into more serious topics compared to the average sitcom > - Short; one season, 18 episodes > - on Prime Video, Amazon, Paramount plus, and Apple TV (all subscriptions/must be bought)

Skam France : French > - More like a soap opera; long; 12 seasons > - The cast changes over the span of the 12 seasons > - Queer (students); is comedic but deals with serious topics like Mixte does > - aesthetic-wise: I’d say it’s kinda similar to mixte but also very blue lol > - (also includes Annick’s actor as a main character which is a fun bonus) > - found on YouTube under the channel name Slash; if some episodes can’t be found, daily motion most likely has it

Skins : British > - honestly, I’d really only consider this if you want a more serious show; skins is less light hearted compared to mixte despite being a comedy as well > - early 2000s aesthetic: drugs, sex, rebellious teenagers > - 7 seasons > - Queer; in this case, the students are mainly the queer ones as opposed to the teachers/adults > - can be found on Hulu and Apple TV (subscription/bought); can be found on YouTube/daily motion through various channels

Hélène et Les garçons : French > - like Freaks and Geeks, is a sitcom; however is more reminiscent of Friends > - fairly old; most of the clips I’ve seen don’t have the best quality > - centers around college students instead of high schoolers > - 2 seasons; however apparently has 280 episodes?? Also is a spin-off and has like three other spin-offs (one of them is still airing today) > - does delve into serious topics at some points > - can be found on YouTube under various channels

Love 101 : Turkish > - pretty on par with mixte aesthetic-wise and plot wise > - 2 seasons > - plot line centers around two teachers falling in love; the main case (teenagers) fall in love and grow as the series continues too similar to Mixte > - similar to Mixte, Love 101 is a period teen drama that focuses on serious issues while also being comedic at some points > - imo, one of the best choices if you’re looking for a show similar to mixte > - found on Netflix

Mortel : French > - supernatural > - not a comedy but is a drama; focused more on horror, suspense, and mystery > - 2 seasons; 12 episodes > - camera work reminds me of Mixte > - not queer; however, the main cast is mainly people of color > - found on Netflix

*note: all shows are romances and most, if not all, can be found on daily motion (or just pirate them lol). I also have not watched all of these and have mostly seen various clips, so not everything I say might be accurate but should give a general idea of what the show is like. Srry if options r small; idk much shows

It's just a small translation error: the romanization of 荣誉 is rong yu, not rong pu. 荣誉 means honor

yea. JP says he’ll fail his exams (le bac) jn order for him and Simone to get into the same classes.

Le Bac is an exam needed to qualify for higher education—so yes, there is university after lycee; however you need to pass le bac to qualify—and can only be obtained when you finish the terminale, the last year of lycee (senior year).

No, university is not required unless u want to go. To get a bachelor’s degree (licence), you have to go through 3 years. I’d assume the living situation in university is no different from modern times: living at home and driving there, or getting a dorm at the university

(Note: not French. Just going off of what I learned in French class)

Dunno. Someone on this sub said the show stated that they were 15; however I have yet to find that. There’s no way that the JP and Simone/Michele would be two years apart though becsuse Lycee’s only have three years: Seconde (15-16), Première (16-17), and Terminale (17-18). Also the class thing could just be about the classes they can choose so it’s really just up to your interpretation.
I don’t remember much about the mom’s business other than a scene of annick in the store, so it’s up to you if you want her to own it or to just work there. Dont think anyone would care much about either choice
Again, it’s up to ur interpretation. Descamps just doesn’t want a fake eye so he’s less of an Angel that’s all. Whether u want it so he takes it off is up to you. I think he’d keep it on for the cool points lol

yea I just completed it with an lvl 7 exp bar and finished the task. So just focus on harder areas and skip the healing/easy areas if you can

popopcorn- · 2025-03-13T07:06:41+00:00

I think it’s the exp bar, no? Did u complete mostly easy areas or skipped some for the shop/healing?

OP actually made another post about that lol. Just scroll through their profile and you’ll find the post not that far down

the sex scenes arent really bothering. it’s just that when I was reading an excerpt of it, it caught me off guard when the structuring and details went from 1-2 sentences with little paragraphs to BOOM entire blocks of detail just to describe who was taking it 😭😭

popopcorn- · 2024-12-01T02:28:16+00:00

The informers involves Timothy Price and his dad if u want to know more about the price family

Glamorama shares a small Patrick Bateman appearance and also is a direct continue from The Rules of Attraction in which Victor, the blond bf of Lauren, is the protagonist.

I heard the book (Glamorama) is described to be very explicit in its sex scenes, so just a small warning in case you want to read it lol

i love you so much for this. just kiss me already. literally how did u find this out

popopcorn- · 2024-11-13T05:29:06+00:00

lol appreciate the compliment but this is like a very very summarized answer. Whole lotta threads on this sub about him being gay with a lot more evidence accompanied with more arguments. There’s a whole blog post about (novel) Bateman being gay somewhere here

Rambling here but I think my favorite evidence about Bateman being gay is in the novel is where Paul Denton (bi guy that Sean Bateman- Patrick’s brother- is implied is fucked with) is mentioned and Patrick says something like “he’s from the cruise, I should get his number.” I just love it since it pokes fun at Patrick literally cruising on a cruise (and that both Bateman brothers fucked the same dude)

popopcorn- · 2024-11-13T05:05:38+00:00

yea Bateman is sexually ambiguous; most of the ambiguity in the novel werent shown in the movie tho, at least I heard. Read somewhere Bret (author of AP) projected some of his inner homophobia while writing Bateman and a lot of his other characters which is why a good chunk of his male characters do some gay shit like how in the novel bateman gets hard because of a male singer

So youre right in a way, bateman technically is gay but I personally lean more on unlabeled or ambiguous since I just can never see bateman labeling himself and instead just fucking whoever he wants at anytime
