psst systems and plurals of all kinds, if you have fictives from books please say hi. we have, quite literally, only met a single system other than ourselves who had more than one fictive sourced from a book. well over 90% of our fictives (which make up 85% of our known collective of 550+ people) are sourced from books. please
#original posts#pluralgang#plurality#plural system#fictive#i don't care what books they're from just please literally anyone#i (Twitch) am partially sourced from Five Kingdoms by Brandon Mull (you'll recognize my name if you've read it i'm sure)#we have a few fictives from the Pantomime/Shadowplay/Masquerade trilogy#and a couple from Mask of Shadows#and most of our fictives come from our special interest book series#edit to note: we also have a couple from Lord of the Flies#(even though we fucking hated the book lmao)

I’d love to see you draw Sam and Sebastian from Stardew Valley! It’s only a headcanon, but they’re adorable together
Pride Month Day 03 - Sebastian x Sam
“close enough! welcome back Solangelo!!” - me 2024
Oughh ty anon. I needed an excuse to draw sam cause I just started a new farm…I hope I did them justice
To anyone unaware (yes, here we go AGAIN), I take suggestions to draw a queer/trans/aro (lgbtq+) character or ship every day for pride month. Anyone can suggest any ship, character, etc. (headcanons or not.) No proshipping obviously. You can always request multiple times! Don’t hide your pride…
#I def struggled drawinf this but i made it within a few hours and still having 35 minutes left on the clock!#sebastian x sam#sam x sebastian#do they even have a ship name?? i think most people are more focused on marrying either of them#thats a lie but whatever#WillTheSpy Pride Art#stardew valley#stardew fanart#stardew sebastian#stardew sam#stardew valley fanart#sebastian fanart#sam fanart#pride month#happy pride 🌈#my art#also sebastian’s shirt is literally just my shirt…i needed to add it.

sharing this here too.... Got up to ep 47 in the my s class hunters webtoon and asked a korean friend about Sung Hyunje's way of speaking bc i noticed he seemed to talk like an old man..... MFNSMDBSNN THIS IS AMAZING 😭😭🤭
edit: apparently there's a lore reason he talks like that that neither of us knew at the time... i appreciate everyone who's holding back from telling me what it is🫡
just to be thorough i asked about -군(-gun) too which is how SHJ calls HYJ (han yoojin-gun) (in ep 46-47 at least) (i believe the jp equivalent is -kun, which more ppl r prob familiar w)
#my s class hunters#msch#tsctir#the s classes that i raised#sung hyunje#s class liveblog#talk tag#oh btw another psa#SHJ's name is spelled sung hyunje (not sung hyunJAE)...#i literally just got to him btw I STARTED READING ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO#but yea i noticed on twt everyone was misspelling his name??? and then i found out its bc#the novel mtl that everyone uses spelled it wrong.... RIP😭#the thing is ㅐ(ae) and ㅔ(e) are completely diff vowels in kr (despite being pronounced the same)#theyre not interchangeable..!#so its not a case of yoojin vs yujin or yoohyun vs yuhyeon...#the last syllable is definitely je(제) not jae(재)#hyunje and hyeonje r both valid but not hyunjae/hyeonjae...#I FEEL RLY BAD CORRECTING PPL SINCE I *JUST* GOT INTO SCLASSES BUT... i hope more ppl can correct it from now on... mcndnfd#성현제#<--thats his name

also tbh this was me trying to have an OC that is not just me as a wizard (like my fhsona or the wizard sorrow who are pretty much identical lol)
#shout out especially to the basque-german girl in my aesthetics class#i wasnt sure if i was terrified of you or if i had a crush on you#heard u have published a few anarchist essays lately hope ur doing well#ribbittrobbit#original characters#fantasy high#my ocs#fhsona#(but like this isn't a sona it's just a straight up oc)#also i tried with the basque toponymic surname conventions but i may have butchered it#literally their name means thorn strongoak lol#deeply on the nose but oh well#fh fanart#vaguely

I can understand someone not liking Gansey that much but I Can Not imagine calling him boring. Sir that’s President Freak of Clowntown right there…
#two worst Gansey takes are thinking he’s boring or that he’s not funny. Mr. so repressed his friends have different names for the different#versions of him… Mr. constantly reliving his own death Mr. has never made a friend he wasn’t psychosexually obsessed with and who wasn’t#psychosexually obsessed with him back. And he thinks all of these relationships are Normal… his favorite pizza topping is literally avocado#he’s in love with a dead welsh king who is the center point he redirects all his emotions toward… there are more freakish things he does I#know but they’re hard to articulate because he’s just. Yeah.#richard gansey#trc#gansey#s speaks#his name is literally Gansey. let’s just start there.#I may love him as a character but I can see why you wouldn’t especially like. Had I been introduced to him when I was older and not as an#11 year old girl I think this pretentious rich white boy could have been a harder sell for me in a few ways (I think I still would have#enjoyed more about him than I didn’t but my feelings would be a bit different) but still. Out of All the ya paranormal love interests#Gansey?? boring or unfunny?? Gansey???#Edit; sorry he’s had one friend he isn’t into and it was the old British professor he lived in Iceland with for a year and then ghosted

I don't really care for a 'soc 3' as a full novel (I consider the duology a very finished narrative, and I'm doubtful it'll ever happen anyway) but I would go fucking crazy for a short story collection, both pre-and-post canon. susanna clarke's the ladies of grace adieu which accompanies jonathan strange and mr norrell, and tamsyn muir's short stories for each of the locked tomb paperbacks are so great, and I'd kill for something like that for soc... I know this is a niche that fanfiction can and does fill, but there's so much stuff that's only alluded to in canon that could make a killer short story. tell me about kaz's heist on the diplomat's wife who loved emeralds. tell me about jesper's time on the novyi zem front with colm. tell me about imogen; what happened to her? what about the other barrel gangs? this could even be a chance for leigh to tell us what kaz's full name actually is lmao
#this is a fanfiction niche I cram myself into with stuff like gmbm and wcs... but still. there's a few things I'd like leigh to weigh in on#six of crows#soc#soc 3#grishaverse#I maintain that kaz did not NEED a full name and he COULD just be kaz but I understand the temptation...#also the fact that it literally never crosses his mind once is hilarious#my post

Once again thinking of some of wording in HNOC
“the girl Morgause grew into a sharp young man who chose his name as Mordred.”
“for nothing went to waste among the Saxons.”
“We’ll walk beneath the rusted sky”
#just… they say so much in so few words#how Jonny says ‘who chose his name as mordred’ makes me feral#and ‘we’ll walk beneath a rusted sky’ has so much optimism in it#plus the combination of the literal rusted sky and the metaphor of sunrise (which can have a rusty color)#meaning hope#aegis talks to the void#the mechanisms

happy bisexual day to those who celebrate
#dragalia lost#dragalia#orion#orion dragalia#I don't usually cross reference JP translations for Dragalia stuff but I was curious if some of the Really Gay Lines in English were#the same in the original text. Turns out some of them weren't#which just makes the localization funnier#Like. Grain of salt because I don't speak Japanese and rely on machine translations and friends who speak the language#But the really sus “receiving end” line was originally just. “Haha it'd be nice to be the one getting escorted for once :)”#I'm sure it's not an entirely indulgent translation but. Phrasing!!!#then there's the infamous(?) “I seek to have a relationship with everyone here!” where in JP it's clearer that by “everyone”#Orion means “every woman” and not literally “everyone”#bc JP Elly says “In your case won't just any woman do?” while in EN she just calls him shameless LOL#there's a few more#like the scene where Orion says “You're the first man I've ever wanted to protect” and Euden says “damn bro I thought you weren't gay?”#and he responds calmly like “You really are slow when it comes to these matters! I'm just saying you're more charming than you know.”#it's a letdown but it's kinda coy#meanwhile since JP has some extra animations#namely Orion jumping in shock and making a cringing face before responding#the No Homo vibe is off the charts 😭😭😭#and then theres that xmas seasonal line that's about picking up women ...when voices are set to JP.#The EN line is about being broke. For some reason.#But even with all that it's not like there's no gay subtext in JP Orion's dialogue. It's just deeply funny how the EN localizers went#Yup. This one. Bisexual. We gotta make it more obvious.

Do you conlang? I was wondering if you had naming languages (or possibly even more developed ones) for pulling the words you use. I tried to search your blog but didn't find anything, wouldn't be surprised if the feature is just busted tho. Your worldbuilding is wonderful and I particularly enjoy the anthropological and linguistic elements.
Ok the thing is I had kind of decided I was not going to do any conlanging because I don't feel like I'm equipped to do a good job of it, like was fully like "I'm just going to do JUST enough that it doesn't fail an immediate sniff test and is more thoughtful than just keysmashing and putting in vowels". And then have kinda been conlanging anyway (though not to a very deep and serious extent. I maybe have like....an above average comprehension of how language construction works via willingness to research, but that's not saying much, also I can never remember the meanings of most linguistic terms like 'frictives' or etc off the top of my head. I'm just kinda raw dogging it with a vague conceptualization of what these things mean)
I do at least have a naming language for Wardi (and more basic rules for other established languages) but the rudimentary forms of it were devised with methods much shakier and less linguistically viable than even the most basic naming language schemes, and I only went back over it LONG after I had already made a bunch of words so there's some inconsistencies with consonant presence and usage. (This can at least be justified because it IS a language that would have a lot of loanwords and would be heavily influenced by other language groups- Burri being by far the most significant, Highland-Finnic and Yuroma-Lowlands also being large contributors)
The 'method' I used was:
-Skip basic construction elements and fully move into devising necessary name words, with at least a Vibe of what consonants are going to be common and how pronunciation works -Identify some roots out of the established words and their meanings. Establish an ongoing glossary of known roots/words. -Construct new words based in root words, or as obvious extensions/variants of established words. -Get really involved in how the literal meanings of some words might not translate properly to english, mostly use this to produce a glossary of in-universe slang. -Realize that I probably should have at least some very basic internal consistency at this point. -Google search tutorials on writing a naming language. -Reverse engineer a naming language out of established words, and ascribe all remaining inconsistencies to being loanwords or just the mysteries of life or whatever.
I do at least have some strongly established pronunciation rules and a sense of broad regional dialect/accents.
-'ai' words are almost always pronounced with a long 'aye' sound.
-There is no 'Z' or 'X' sound, a Wardi speaker pronouncing 'zebra' would go for 'tsee-brah', and would attempt 'xylophone' as 'ssye-lohp-hon'
-'V' sounds are nearly absent and occur only in loanwords, and tend to be pronounced with a 'W' sound. 'Virsum' is a Highland word (pronounced 'veer-soom') denoting ancestry, a Wardi speaker would go 'weer-sum'.
-'Ch' spellings almost always imply a soft 'chuh' sound when appearing after an E, I, or O (pelatoche= pel-ah-toh-chey), but a hard 'kh' sound after an A or U (odomache= oh-doh-mah-khe). When at the start of a word, it's usually a soft 'ch' unless followed by an 'i' sound (chin (dog) is pronounced with a hard K 'khiin', cholem (salt) is pronounced with a soft Ch 'cho-lehm')
-Western Wardin has strong Burri cultural and linguistic influence, and a distinct accent- one of the most pronounced differences is use of the ñ sound in 'nn' words. The western city of Ephennos is pronounced 'ey-fey-nyos' by most residents, the southeastern city of Erubinnos is pronounced 'eh-roo-been-nos' by most residents. Palo's surname 'Apolynnon' is pronounced 'A-puh-lee-nyon' in the Burri and western Wardi dialects (which is the 'proper' pronunciation, given that it's a Kos name), but will generally be spoken as 'Ah-poh-leen-non' in the south and east.
-R's are rolled in Highland-Finnic words. Rolling R's is common in far northern rural Wardi dialects but no others. Most urban Wardi speakers consider rolling R's sort of a hick thing, and often think it sounds stupid or at least uneducated. (Brakul's name should be pronounced with a brief rolled 'r', short 'ah' and long 'uul', but is generally being pronounced by his south-southeastern compatriots with a long unrolled 'Brah' sound).
Anyway not really a sturdy construction that will hold up to the scrutiny of someone well equipped for linguistics but not pure bullshit either.
#I actually did just make a post about this on my sideblog LOL I think in spite of my deciding not to conlang this is going to go full#full conlanging at some point#The main issue is that the narrative/dialogue is being written as an english 'translation' (IE the characters are speaking in their actual#tongues and it's being translated to english with accurate meaning but non-literal treatment)#Which you might say like 'Uh Yeah No Shit' but I think approaching it with that mindset at the forefront does have a different effect than#just fully writing in english. Like there's some mindfulness to what they actually might be saying and what literal meanings should be#retained to form a better understanding of the culture and what should be 'translated' non-literally but with accurate meaning#(And what should be not translated at all)#But yeah there's very little motivation for conlanging besides Pure Fun because VERY few Wardi words beyond animal/people/place names#will make it into the actual text. Like the only things I leave 'untranslated' are very key or untranslatable concepts that will be#better understood through implication than attempts to convey the meaning in english#Like the epithet 'ganmachen' is used to compliment positive traits associated with the ox zodiac sign or affectionately tease#negative ones. This idea can be established pretty naturally without exposition dumps because the zodiac signs are of cultural#importance and will come up frequently. The meaning can get across to the reader pretty well if properly set up.#So like leaving it as 'ganmachen' you can get 'oh this is an affectionate reference to an auspicious zodiac sign' but translating#it as the actual meaning of 'ox-faced' is inevitably going to come across as 'you look like a cow' regardless of any zodiac angle#^(pretty much retyped tags from other post)#Another aspect is there's a few characters that have Wardi as a second language and some of whom don't have a solid grasp on it#And I want to convey this in dialogue (which is being written in english) but I don't want it to just be like. Random '''broken''' english#like I want there to be an internal consistency to what parts of the language they have difficulties with (which then has implications for#how each language's grammar/conjugation/etc works). Like Brakul is fairly fluent in Wardi at the time of the story but still struggles#with some of the conjugation (which is inflectional in Wardi) especially future/preterite tense. So he'll sometimes just use the#verb unconjugated or inappropriately in present tense. Though this doesn't come across as starkly in text because it's#written in english. Like his future tense Wardi is depicted as like 'I am to talk with him later' instead of 'I'll talk with him later'#Which sounds unnatural but not like fully incorrect#But it would sound much more Off in Wardi. Spanish might be a better example like it would be like him approaching it with#'Voy a hablar con él más tarde' or maybe 'Hablo con él más tarde' instead of 'Hablaré con él más tarde'#(I THINK. I'm not a fluent spanish speaker sorry if the latter has anything wrong with it too)

throw back to when a local pitmommy launched a freakishly long lasting campaign against me on nextdoor bc I told her I didn't wanna sit for her XL rescue bully, & also that it's heinously irresponsible to keep that thing in the house with her toddlers. I literally referred her to countless news stories of little kids being mauled by dogs they raised lovingly since they were puppies-let alone her giant beast that was quite possibly raised in some depraved dogfighting ring (though I'm sure the fuckass animal shelter tried to say it was a "bait dog" lol. newsflash, these dogs always go for the kill when theyre set off, if it was a meek little bait dog it would be dead). she literally implied I'm a racist (yes, really) for not wanting to read about her kids horrible painful deaths in the paper. she was like "I don't care about the stats, it's still 1 in 10,000 chance" hello?? if a plane had a 1 in 10,000 chance of crashing would you put your daughters on it or would you choose another goddamn airline that only has a 1 in a million chance of crashing???? fucks sakes
I truly don't understand why these people won't just get a fucking lab or a golden or any of the numerous breeds that are proven to be FAR less likely to snap & kill people out of nowhere. there is nothing you can get from a pit that you can't get from any other breed. I have a theory that they just want to feel like heroes for "saving" a dog that the evil bigots like me would refuse to adopt for silly reasons, like not wanting my family to be mauled. lol
#but you literally cannot reason w/pitmommies until its their child in the hospital or morgue#which has happened. i can name several cases of staunch propit activists having their kids slaughtered after years of insisting its#all about how you raise them. tragic that they have to pay such a horrific price for their willful ignorance#i always tell ppl the same thing. most pits wont bite but the ones that do will kill you or die trying#if a lab snaps badly at your child they might need a few stitches. if a pit snaps you're shopping for kid sized coffins#its horrible but the stats do not lie. in fact the issue is even worse than the stats show bc they dont count ''mixed breeds'' as pits#when they almost always are. shelters just dont wanna label them bc they want to con people into adopting them#dont even get me started on that shit. shelters are FULL of propit propaganda

The way Spider-verse inspires.
I was thinking about the meaning of mirrors, reflections and being upside down in this movie. I love how the Spot is never reversed in relation to Miles, almost as if they... mirrored each other 👀
hey, look! now its upside down! just like in Spiderve- *gunshot sound*
#spiderverse#across the spiderverse#spiderman#spiderman across the spiderverse#spoilers#miles morales#the spot#ater art#ok i thing thats all#i was literally just sketching few minutes ago#and BAM its 5am and im sitting with finished artwork#i used at least 4 techniques for the first time drawing this. wild#spiderverse is amazing and i cant wait for 3rd part bc its going to break me in all the ways it matters#there are SO MANY THING to think about meanwhile#i wanted to name it whats up. in realtion to whats up danger and this being two way. but it sounds like a way to say hello#i mean it is a way to say hello you know what i mean?#its 5am i should go to sleep#im so proud of this one...
