"Oublier" means forgetting in french, so an oubliette is the place where one is sent to be forgotten.
But it always sounded a bit of to me as a french speaker, because the -ette at the end of the word implies it's a cute lil thing. Like " teheee i guess i forgot sometthing on my way owo, how silly of me :] ". When in fact you left your ennemies to be forgotten in the ground, still alive for now, but never to see the light of day again.
“oubliette” is such a fancy word for such an unbelievably simple thing. captain of the guard says “take their ass to the oubliette” and you think oh boy they must have some really high end perhaps grotesque punishment prepared for me and then they just throw you into a hole in the ground
For me, it's the ass of the bread (le cul)

I know its a long post, but bear with it, Shirobako just dropped a bomb-shell that every artist should recognize and realize. Don’t worry about your quality. That’ll increase on its own as you draw. Just draw lost. Draw anything and all things. Just draw. Don’t care about what it looks like, that’s not important right now. Draw.
If rural trans & queer community, anarchist mutual aid, permaculture, alpacas and armed community defense are topics that interest you, I warmly recommend the recent ’The Tenacious Unicorn Ranch: How to Build a Haven’ series on the It Could Happen Here podcast:

It Could Happen Here has been really high quality lately, the three The Uprising Returns to China and Workers Protests in Modern China episodes were also excellent, but the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch series has a special place in my heart.
“X bodily fluid is just filtered blood!” buddy I hate to break it to you but ALL of the fluids in your body are filtered blood. Your circulatory system is how water gets around your body. It all comes out of the blood (or lymph, which is just filtered blood).
