Sorry, Hoyoverse. But Iffa is ugly version of Mammon.

My Mammon is perfect, and Hoyo just shamelessly ripped Mammon's design to create this ABOMINATION!😅

Mammon will be forever perfect and no one can copy his style!

Nominees - @jurassicshields, @dariusdasilva and @iffasart

Jurassicshields - Favourite Fanartist

Jurassicshields is an artist who primarily draws chaos theory art. Their art style with its bold colours and sharp, thick line art is very memorable. Their art style along with their tendency to exhibit the more dramatic scenes and moments between between the characters truly encapsulates chaos theory's more dark tone.

Dariusdasilva - Favourite Fanartist and No.1 Sammy Stan

Dariusdasilva is an artist best known for their art style, which if needed to be described in one word fits the word 'soft' perfectly. Their use of colours and shading along with the rest of their style gives their art a very rounded and cozy feeling. Their love for Sammy is also a very familiar sight in the tags.

Iffasart - Favourite Fanartist

Iffasart, also known as Iffas or Soph, is an artist and highly interactive member of the community. Iffas' art is highly detailed and beautifully done, with their scenes and backgrounds, along with the way they draw the campers all just being a wonder to look at. They are well known amongst the community and are consistently hyping up other creators within the space.

Question, in the first few chapters on WondLa, before Rovee gave Eva the translator, were you able to decode what Besteel and Rovee were saying? I’m still having a hard time trying to figure out what they’re saying. Still wondering what Shee-na means.

*spreads arms dramatically* My time has come.

Lmao. I love conlangs, so I've definitely tried to translate the non-human dialogue a couple times over the years, so I'll give it my best shot!

First, I think "shee-na" probably means "quiet" or a variation thereof, given that Rovender makes a shushing motion when saying that. As for book dialogue:

"'Ovanda say tateel?'" (pg. 69, Rovender)

Likely "What are you doing?" I'd be inclined to translate as "Who/what are you?" instead if not for the fact that Rovender says this same thing to Eva when she's hiding under Otto on pg. 94. They're sort of familiar with each other at this point, so it doesn't make any sense to ask who she is again.

"'Daff effu Cærulean?'" (pg. 77, Besteel)

Possibly something along the lines of a snarky greeting, or "What are you doing, Cærulean?", or even "We meet again, Cærulean?". From context clues, I'd say Besteel and Rovender have crossed paths before (they seem slightly familiar with each other; Besteel knows Rovender by name) and have a history of not liking the other/Rovender keeps messing with Besteel. This is also why I'd posit a snarky greeting.

"'Tuda neem,'" (pg. 82, Besteel)

"Don't worry," meant in an extremely worrying fashion.

"'Kap und gabbo.... Ta, broog iffa yu nabba,'" (pg. 83, Besteel)

Context seems to suggest "ta" is "yes" in the common Orbonian language. The whole thing is perhaps "You can't escape [or you are scared].... Yes, you will be perfect [or: you will live]," possibly as a reference to his mission to capture specimans to free Redimus.

"'Oeeah. Te banga nee peezil,'" (pg. 83, Rovender)

"Oeeah" is an exclamation, so has no translation. Possibly "see what he's doing there"?

"'Dot, dat.'" (pg. 83, Rovender)

"Stop, no." "Dat" appears to be "no".

"'Peesa van shuuzu,'" (pg. 84, Rovender)

"Going up is the only way out"; "peesa" is "up".

"'Ta! Ta! [...] Peesa.'" (pg. 84, Rovender)

"Yes! Yes! [...] Up."

"'Pra! Dooma boffa!'" (pg. 85, Besteel)

"Back! Stupid animal!" (translation note: what an asshole)

"'Dat, dat, dat. [...] Te,'" (pg. 85, Rovender)

"No, no, no. [...] There,'"

"'Tasha, zaata,'" (pg. 87, Rovender)

"Alright, go,"; "zaata" is "go".

"'Bluh, sizzu feezi,'" (pg. 88, Rovender)

"Bluh" is an exclamation and has no translation. "Feezi" means "nymph"; this seems to be a word Orbonians-- or at least Cæruleans and/or Halcyonus-- use for children. Eva is referred to as "the nymph" and-- I believe-- "the nymph of the forest" and, in the 200 years later epilogue, the language blend of English and the common Orbonian language gives us "'Feezi, known as Eva'", providing a direct translation. This whole phrase, then, could be "Bluh, ridiculous nymph."

"'Feezi meed! [...] Ya battee meer de hagrim Ruzender. Wha seesha?'" (pg. 88, Besteel)

"The nymph is gone! [...] You're to blame for this, Rovender. Where is she?"

"'Grazeet! [...] Zaata! Zaata! Zaata!'" (pg. 90, Rovender)

"Move! [...] Go! Go! Go!"

"'Nassa Ruzender Keet!'" (pg. 92, Besteel)

"Goddamn [or Orbonian equivalent curse word] Rovender Kitt!"

"'Tista baffa fooh!'" (pg. 94, Besteel)

"Get back here!"

"'Gabu Baasteel!'" (pg. 94, Rovender)

"[insert Orbonian curse word] Besteel!"

"'Feezi! [...] Zaata! Zaata!'" (pg. 96, Rovender)

"Nymph! [...] Go! Go!"

"'Dat, dat, dat, [...] Feezi zaata. [...] Ruzender zaata.'" (pg. 96, Rovender)

"No, no, no. [...] Nymph go. [...] Rovender go." Sentence and grammatical structure are likely heavily simplified due to neither of them being able to understand one another and Rovender being like "what is the most simple thing this weird kid could understand"

"'Grasset de fugill Ruzender!'" (pg. 97, Besteel)

"You're dead, Rovender!"

"'Ewa seetha tadasha,'" (pg. 99, Rovender)

"That was exciting," said by someone who wishes this never happened.

"'Ta! Feezi!'" (pg. 99, Rovender)

"Yes! Nymph!"

"'Zuzu, zuzu,'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"Wait, wait,"

"'Kip! Kip!'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"Talk! Talk!" The transcoder later has Rovender say "Tes, continue kipping" as it calibrates, so "kip" is probably "talk".

"'Dat, dat, dat, feezi, [...] Doot, doot, ba kip!'" (pg. 100, Rovender)

"No, no, no, nymph, [...] Closer, closer, and talk!"

"'Dat, [...] Peesa tobondi feezi, ta kipli.'" (pg. 101, Rovender)

"No, [...] Keep it up close, nymph, and talk."

"'Zazig. I try to peebla foo,'" (pg. 101, Rovender)

"Sort of. I try to make it easier,"

"'If you do, [...] you hret graaveem my speech.'" (pg. 102, Rovender)

"If you do, [...] you understand my speech."

I think that's all the Orbonian language we get; I hope this helps! :)

1. What is your favourite thing about Lu?

2. What mbti personality type is Lu?

3. What is Lu's favourite movie/series?

4. When is Lu's birthday?

5. What is Lu's favourite memory?

6. What do Lu's tattoos mean?

(I'm iffas but this is my main)

1.He pretty.... Okay but in all seriousness I love how like- dimensional of a character he is, not to toot my own horn, but I am very proud of the way I wrote him, like I have unfortunately fallen into the "only writes one dimensional characters" thing before but I honestly feel like he feels human to me. Like yes, he can be cold, he does prefer to be seen as stone faced/intimidating to those he doesn't know/trust, yes he has trauma and has his unhealthy coping methods, but he's also happy and so filled with love for those around him, he cares so deeply about the ones he loves that it tears him up when he can't do it in ways he sees fit. He sucks at showing emotion but he's also a huge crybaby(literally), him being intimidating doesn't stop him from also being a softie. Idk if any of that makes sense but overall I just love that he doesn't fall flat like a lot of characters I've written, he feels fleshed out and like an actual person.

2.According to the MBTI test I just took, ISFJ-T, which feels fair, though I would say to me he feels more like an ambivert rather than an introvert.

3.He's a huge Venom nerd, he has watched the first movie so many times he could recite it word for word. As for TV he doesn't really have a lot of time for series, but probably Arcane.

4.....I have not thought about this one gang I literally just gave him a last name yesterday.... We don't have confirmed character birthdays but I do see him as being literally a week older than Ben, so ig a week before Ben's birthday, whenever that is. (I do see him as a scorpio though)

(Skipping 5 because it was already answered)

6.While his tattoos do have some meaning, a lot of them are simply to look sick, the ones that do have meaning though are the stitches, as they somewhat represent the fact that he feels somewhat like a "doll", as he was made to do things someone his age should never have to do (16-17 at the time) under someone elses orders(also they look cool), the B and heart on his ribs are just a tat for Ben, and the stars are honestly just cause he though they looked fun.

DU’AA FOR HEALTH

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ الصِّحَّةَ، وَالْعِفَّةَ، وَالْأَمَانَةَ، وَحُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ، وَالرِّضَا بِالْقَدَرِـ

Allaahumma innii as’alukas-sihhat(ta), wal-‘iffa(ta), wal-‘amaana(ta), wa husnal-khuluq(i), war-ridaa bil qadar. (‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘As. Kanz al-‘Ummal #3650)

O Allah, I beg You for health, chastity, integrity, good character, and acceptance of fate.

Health is the first item in this list because its absence affects a person’s ability to worship Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) in addition to affecting his ability to enjoy this worldly life. The other qualities mentioned are all attributes of imaan. Like imaan itself, they can come to us through the blessings of Allah.
