Kiku couldn't find a low tech AAC option Kiku could actually afford with the money Kiku had 😫 Why are they so expensive?

So Kiku got a Julia plush and two fidget slugs

Estimated delivery dates *happy wiggles* Kiku is so excited. The rainbow slug is for Kiku's wifey.

The slugs go click clack and it such a good sound O O

And it's Julia 😩 Julia is Kiku's favorite muppet.

Kiku has wanted a Julia stuffie for a long time. Eventually Kiku wants to get a toy talker for Kiku's Julia stuffie. ☺️

"(Sigh) We'll continue this another ti- mmf?!"

With a guy like Jamil, you really gotta pick up the slack sometimes. No tie to pull on though, so I guess we'll just have to use that hoodie!

(Inspired by this artwork by オレコ on Pixiv!)

Bonus Jamil for the rest of the day:

i noticed a while back that Lyse, Alisaie, and Tataru seemed to be the only characters who say "maybe" regularly (as opposed to "perhaps" or "mayhap"). and a Reddit discussion about dialogue this morning made me go overboard again.

uhhhhh do with this information what you will?

if anyone has requests for other characters or other words; i can easily come up with their numbers too! (or you can grab the regex firefox extension i use here)

specifically, the Reddit post i saw was about how XIV's dialogue (or at least the English localization) has gotten simpler and blander over time — not just in Dawntrail, not just as part of the overall Dawntrail hate, but as early as Shadowbringers.

it's not something i've thought about a whole lot to have a strong opinion on tbh. but it did make me remember this thought about "maybe" i'd had in the past, and i wanted to crunch the numbers to see if i could learn anything. and my footnotes at the end are my notes to that effect.

Alphinaud, G'raha, and Estinien starting to use maybe could be a case study in XIV's dialogue becoming blander. or it could be a way of showing that they've become more relaxed as people, and more comfortable within the party. either way, i just thought tumblr might like this info!

idk who on the mayoi team was in the writing room absolutely cooking that day but i thank you

bonus dazai being all like ‘my partners mad at me 🥺 👉👈’
