#Luni The Moon Bear

[sonic-elements]

The Bear Family

The Bear Family. a odd bunch who came together in a odder way. Two adopted Siblings who struggled on the streets. the brother was sent to juvie. the sister and orphanage, soon adopted by a new family and once the brother got out he redeemed himself to be excepted into his sisters new family.

Scorch The Sun Bear. Hot head adopted brother Luna and adopted sun of Gussa. Member of Team Wisp. Embodiment of The Red Wisps. once a troublemaking street fighter, fixed himself to become the hero his sister sees him as.

Luna The Moon Bear. The Sweetheart adopted little sister of Scorch, and adopted Daughter of Gussa. growing up protected by Scorch not knowing how how they got they're food from. when he was sent to juvie and adopted by Gussa she found a chao garden and longed to be a great protector like how Gussa and Scorch are to her. is pretty much the only person that can Get Gussa and Scorch to calm down. she has a Dark Chao Companion Named Figgie. (Luna/Luni Belongs to my good friend @craftyjellyfishcat @craftysonic127 )

Gussa The Sloth Bear: On her good side you'll fine a caring Mother to her little Luni. but on her bad side like Scorch sometimes is, then you'll see the reason you shouldn't mess with this Bear. fierce enough to rip apart any Badnik, scare most criminals to death, and relentless enough to not stop until you learned your lesson. however deep down her only priority is Luna, Goggles and Scorch and she'll give anything to keep her family together and Happy.

Goggles The Spectacled Bear: The Trusted Friend of Gussa and the "Cousin" of Luna & Scorch. a smart and cautious Bear who prefers to spend his days working on , or being on the computer. if you've ever needed an egghead with a nack for electronics, look no further then Goggles. pretty much the least Dangerous of the Bears alongside Little Luna.

Presenting Figgie, Luni's dark chao and faithful companion who was found by the moon bear who ran to the lake to sulk.

-------

Name: Figgie

Nicknames: Nipper (Birch), Jaws (the villains), Eclipse (Luni)

Species: Chao (Dark Chao)

Age: unknown

Height: as about a normal chao

-----------

Likes: Luni, Cashews, tasty fruits, causing mischief, protecting the younger chao and the Moon bear, Cheese and Cream, Vanilla's desserts, The Restoration, Birch, chew toys.

Dislikes: villains, people who hurt chao, taking baths.

---------

Figgie had a rough life in the beginning, being sold off to Clutch the Possum who at first treated him well only because he scored the mobian some real money. Eventually after collapsing from chao racing, the chao found out Clutch's true nature one night, when he overheard the possum planning to abandon the chao if he ever lost.

This crushed Figgie and he completed the transformation into a dark chao, and he attempted to fly off from the possum, only for him toto get hurt by his owner in the right eye, which made Figgie snap and bite Clutch right on his arm.

After flying away, Figgie spent a good chunk of his time alone, not wanting another creature with him especially if it was a mobian. Thankfully being able to recarnate, but he remained a dark chao with his scar forever there and wanting to be left alone until he met Luni.

Figgie was sitting in a dark oak tree eating some nuts when he noticed the young mobian running past, tears in her eyes as she ran towards the lake where the other chao were. At first, he didn't want to go near the mobian remembering what Clutch did, but the dark chao did knowing, what might happen if he didn't.

Figgie went inside the knothole Luni was and began tugging at her dress and the rest is history.

Greenlandic Text Lesson 7: A letter

A nice easy lesson this time, as the text piece is not from a “real-life” Greenlandic source but is a mid-level extract from a Greenlandic text reader, Kalaallisut Sungiusaatit / Læsestykker i Grønlandsk ([Reading] Exercises in Greenlandic).

It’s a bit long but bear with me, there’s some interesting points in here!

Sadly no longer in print otherwise I would have provided a purchase link! A lucky visit to a Scandinavian antikvariat might turn up a copy though, and I would recommend it because it’s actually a really good book, with 55 chapters of graded complexity, with some vocabulary notes for each chapter for trickier words and phrases.  A revised version including just the first 28 chapters was also apparently published but that doesn’t seem to be available online either.

A bonus with this book is that it also came with audio tapes! Click here to hear this lesson read out by a native speaker, in a very clear and unrushed manner (much slower than normal reading speed).

Vocabulary 

Uummannami – in Uummannaq. Ummannaq itself is derived from uummat heart + -naq something resembling and means “like a heart”, presumably referring to the shape of the large hill dominating above this island town in the northern part of west Greenland.

ilinniartitsisuuvoq – he is a teacher. From ilinniartitsisoq teacher, itself derived from ilinniar- learn -tit(si)- cause to –soq one who does together with -u- be + -voq indicative 3sg ending

Jensenip and Ole Larsen - note that Jensen is the subject of the transitive verb ilisarisimavaa and takes the relative case marker –ip while Ole Larsen is the object remains unmarked in the absolutive case; whereas with intransitive verbs the subject remains in the absolutive case. This is a feature of Greenlandic being an ergative language (like Basque).

Hvidovremit from Hvidovre. A town in Denmark, a suburb of Copenhagen, with –mit ablative case marker (sg)

ilisarisimavaa he knows him, has him as an acquaintance. From ilisarisima- to know (a person) + -vaa he…it, indicative 3sg subject, 3sg object. Related to ilisaraa he/she recognises him/her with perfective aspect marker -sima-

ima so, thus, in this way

allaffigaa he writes to him. From alla*- write -ffigi- have something/someone as one’s place of doing [verb] (from -(f)fik place of doing [verb] and -gi- have something as one’s [noun]). -gaa is the standard short form of –givaa. So literally “he has him as his place (or destination) of writing.”

asasara (my) dear. From asa- love + -saq passive nominal ending (one who is [verbed]) + -ra my (sg, absolutive form). Lit “one who is loved by me”

ooqattaassavara I will try it. From ooqattaar- try + -ssa- future tense marker + -vara I..it, indicative 1sg subject, 3sg object. The object here is the “writing”, discussed below.

kalaallisut in Greenlandic. Derivation described in earlier lessons. 

allallunga while I write. Using the 1sg intransitive contemporative mood -(l)lunga to express simultaneity with the main verb in the sentence, but with the meaning of “I will try to write…”. Think of allallunga “my writing” as the implied object of ooqattaassavara.

maanna now

qaammatit months. Plural of qaammat month, moon

arfinillit six. See here for more about Greenlandic counting.

najugaqareerpugut we have (already) been living. From najugaq living place -qar- to have (hence najugaqar- to live [somewhere])) + -reer- already + pugut 1pl indicative, instranstive

assut very, much

nuannerpoq is fun, enjoyable

inuit people, plural of inuk person.

qassiit many. Note also qassit with one ‘i’– how many?

ilisarisimalerpavut we have got to know. With ilisarisima- to know + -ler- begin to + -pavut/-vavut we…them, 1pl subject, 3pl object.

aamma and, also

Lenep Jensen’s daughter, Lene with relative case –p as she is the subject of a transitive verb.

Ebbellu and Ebbe [Jensen’s son]. Note that Ebbe is also in the relative case (Ebbep), but in this case the –p has been assimilated with –lu and

nuannaraat they like it. From nuannari- like it + -vaat 3pl subject, 3sg object. The object of the sentence is unmarked Maniitsoq in absolutive case.

qassiinik From qassiit many referred to above + -nik instrumental case (pl). The instrumental case often acts as a descriptor for an infixed noun, and can also be thought of as meaning “more specifically…”, but corresponding to an adjective in English.

ikinnguteqalerput they have made friends. From ikinngut friend –qar- have –ler- begin to –put 3pl indicative

maani here

atuartut (the) students

800-upput they are 800. Note that the number is pronounced in Danish i.e. otte hundrede. Followed by -u- be and –pput 3pl indicative

ilinniartitsisullu and the teachers. From ilinniartitsisoq teacher + -t plural + -lu and

60-iullutik [and them] being 60. Again the number is pronounced in Danish i.e. tres*. Note the glide vowel -i- after the consonant ending in tres, which is not required after hundrede (pronounced (h)unnoruju in Greenlandic). (NB * tres is short for tressindstyve – three times of twenty)

4a-miippoq is in [class] 4a. From -mi in + -i*- be + -poq 3sg, ind. Although -u- also means be, -i- is an alternative form which is found in a few situations, such as being in a location.

5b-miilluni. [and him] being in [class 5b]. As above, but with 4sg (reflexive) contemporative form -(l)luni. If you listen to the audio you’ll hear that the class numbers are spoken in Danish (fire-aamiippoq and femte-biimiilluni, interestingly with one as an ordinal and one as a cardinal!). This seems odd as there do exist Greenlandic words for the lower numbers below 13, but I guess this is probably an influence of Danish on the broader education system.

ilaata one of them (relative case). Ilinniartitsitut is also relative case (although plural form of relative case is the same as the absolutive plural), which governs ila “one of”, a member. Hence the phrase ilinniartitsisut ilaat means one of the teachers (absolutive form) [lit. of-the-teachers their-“one-of-their-members”]. And here appearing as ilaata which is itself in relative case form because it is the subject of the transitive verb below.

atuartittarpaanga he is teaching me. From atuar- to read, study + tit cause to + tar habitual action + paanga he…me 3sg subject, 1sg object.

Nuummi in Nuuk. See here for a description of some Greenlandic place names.

ilinniarfissuarmi in the university. From ilinniar- learn -fik- place where ®suaq big –mi in

ilinniarsimavoq he studied. From elements already described above.

qallunaatullu and Danish. Qallunaatut Danish + lu and. See here for a discussion of the derivation of this word.

pikkorippoq is fluent, is capable

aallaaseqarpunga I have a gun. Obviously we are all for arming teachers with guns nowadays J, I guess Greenland was way ahead of the curve here with this text being published in [ ]. From aallaasit gun, rifle qar have punga 1sg indicative.

kusanartumik lovely, beautiful. From kusanar  be beautiful + toq one which + mik instrumental case. As mentioned above, the instrumental case is used to provide further description, in an adjectival manner, to an infixed noun. Giving the meaning “I have a lovely gun”.

pisiniarfimmi in the shop. Lit. “in the place where one intends to buy things”. pi thing/dummy object si buy niar intend to fik place where mi in

pisiaraara I bought it. From pisiari- to buy which derives from pisiaq “bought thing” (pisi above + (g)aq passive participle) + ri to have as one’s [noun] + vaara I…it 1sg subject, 3sg object. Lit “I have it as my bought thing”

200 kronenik for 200 kroner. Note again the Danish number to hundrede. Here –nik (instrumental plural) provides further description of the act of payment in the following verb.

akilerlugu [me] paying for it. From akiler- pay for and -lugu 3sg object, contemporative form. Note the contemporative form can only show the subject (in intransitive forms) or the object (in transitive forms) but not both subject and object, unlike other moods like the indicative which is mostly used in this text.

aqisserniartarpunga I go hunting for ptarmigan. From aqisseq ptarmigan niar hunt for tar habitual action punga 1sg indicative

Parenthesis: what is a ptarmigan?

Extract from: http://atasteofgreenland.com/material/ptarmigan/

“The ptarmigan is Greenland’s only gallinaceous* bird, the size of a small hen. It breeds all over Greenland and can be found in practically any terrain - although most commonly in the tundra, hiding between rocks or bushes. [* gallinaceous: like a fowl or chicken]

The ptarmigan lives year round in Greenland. Populations vary from year to year, but approximately every 10 years there is a “ptarmigan-year” where the bird is found in particularly large numbers. All the same ptarmigans are in general estimated to be in large numbers in Greenland.

The bird can be difficult to spot due to its well-camouflaged plumage: Ptarmigans change their plumage according to season and are thus brownish with dark stripes in summer, but completely white in winter. These changes in appearance are so they can hide when they eat. In summer, they blend into the tundra plants and look like shadows; in winter, they look like the snowy ground they walk on. It is furthermore worth noting that the feathers on the legs continue all the way out between the toes.

Once spotted it is however possible to get very close and it is not uncommon to see a ptarmigan stay put even if you shoot one right next to it! Previously ptarmigans were caught with snares; Children would simply creep up on the ptarmigans from behind and swing the noose around the neck of these winged delights.

Ptarmigans are a sought after delicacy that can be cooked in many ways - One example could be honey marinated ptarmigan-breast with confit of ptarmigan thigh. Furthermore the gizzard can be inflated like a balloon and hung to dry. Once dry the contents of the gizzard are the perfect essence for schnapps! Ptarmigan-schnapps will never taste the same since it inherently depends on what the ptarmigan has eaten. In the old days the dried gizzards were used as baby-rattles since the seeds, shells, pebbles and twigs rattled marvellously in the dried bags.”

Picture: NordForsk

issaq recently, the other day

Ebbelu aqisserniaratta When Ebbe and I went hunting for ptarmigan. Same verb as above but this time in the causative (“when(past)/because”) mood, with ending -ratta 1pl. Note that the combination of first person plural verb and Ebbelu (and Ebbe) gives the sense of “[I] and Ebbe, we went hunting…”

ataatsimik one (instrumental case)

aqisserpoq he caught/killed ptarmigan. Compare the verb nannuppoq to kill a bear discussed here. 

uangalu and I

pingasunik three (instrumental case)

Else Jensen’s wife

napparsimmavimmi in the hospital. From napparsima- to be sick + fik/vik place where + mi in. Note that the -(f)fik place where ending appears here as vik, but in so doing causes gemination of the previous consonant.

sulisarpoq she works. From suli- to work + tar habitual action

taamaattumik therefore. Lit “with it being so”

kiffaqarpugut we have a kiffaq or house-keeper/house-help.

kiffarput our housekeeper. With -rput our (sg object, absolutive case)

Arnaalummik Arnaaluk (instrumental case)

ateqarpoq she has a name. From ateq name. [name]+-mik + ateqarpunga = I am called [name]

ippassaq yesterday

puisip seal (relative case) from puisi (absolutive form).

neqaanik its meat (instrumental case). From  neqi meat + a + nik. Note the change from ia>aa discussed in previous lessons and here.

pisimmat because she bought. –mmat being causative, 3sg intransitive

unnukkut yesterday evening

neqitorpugut we ate (meat). Based on elements discussed above plus -tor- eat

mamaraarput we found it delicious. From mamaq it is delicious + ri consider something to be + we…it 1pl subject, 3sg object, indicative.

pujortuleeraqarput they have motorboats. From pujortuleeraq motorboat. Note related pujortarpoq meaning he smokes (cigarettes/pipe) and –araq diminutive ending

sila the weather

ajunngikkaangat whenever it is good. From ajor- bad + nngi negative + kkaangat 3sg intransitive form of “repeated action/whenever” mood, which is essentially a derived form of the causative mood with the infix -gaang-/-raang-/-kkaang- in place of the usual -ga-/-mm- marker for this mood.

ualikkut  in the afternoons. From ualeq afternoon + prosecutive case -kkut

aalisariartarput they go fishing. From aalisar- to fish (cf aalisagaq a fish lit. “a thing which is fished”)   riar to go and do something tar habitual action -(p)put 3pl indicative

ilaanni sometimes, now and again. Related to ila- discussed above with -at their + ni in, at

oqartarpoq says. From oqar- say with tar habitual action

ataata father

sooq why

uagut we

pujortuleeraqanngilagut we do not have a boat. Note that after the negative marker nngi the indicative verb ending is based on -la- not –vu-/-vo-

immaqa perhaps

illit you

pujortuleeraqarputit you have a boat. With –putit 2sg ending, indicative. If this had been a direct question (i.e. do you have boat? rather than perhaps you have a boat?), it would have taken the ending –pit which is the 2sg interrogative ending.

tassa this is

allakkakka  my letter. From allakkat a letter, which is plural in form

paasivigit do you understand them?. But here to be translated as do you understand it? because the “letter” is singular in English.

tullianik the next one. From tulleq next one + a its + nik instrumental case. The “its” is referring to the “occasion”, i.e. on its next occasion (of writing a letter)

allakkumaarpunga I will write. From alla*- write -kkumaar- will (definitely) (describes a belief that something will likely happen) + punga 1sg

nuliallu and your wife. From nulia wife, woman + t your (sg object) + lu and

inuulluaritsi (I wish that you both) live well! Best regards! Typical parting greeting, comprised of inuu- live (which is perhaps from inuk person + u be) + lluar well + ritsi 2pl imperative form. Similarly to Ebbelu above, the addition of nuliallu here effectively goes alongside an unspoken illit you to collectively make up the second person plural, i.e. “[I hope that] [you] and your wife both live well!”

inuulluaqquaasi she also passes on her regards. With interesting and sometimes tricky infix -qqu- to ask someone to do something, and ending –vaasi she…you(pl) (3sg subject, 2pl object, indicative). The -v- falls away between -u- and -a-  in Greenlandic orthography.

asasit yours. From asa- to love + si someone who does [verb] to [subject/owner] + t your (sg object). So literally “your person who loves [you]”

Translation 

Ole Larsen Uummannami ilinniartitsisuuvoq. Jensenip Ole Larsen Hvidovremit ilisarisimavaa, ima allaffigaa:

[juniethebard]

I've read Harry Potter for the first time as a child. Maybe 10. I'd hear great things about it. That it was a masterpiece. So I read it. I instantly hated Snape, Dumbledore seemed fishy, I shipped Harry and Ginny SO HARD, and I thought Hermione was a snot nose. As the series progressed, and movies came out, I still hated Snape, I kinda hated Dumbledore (even if I could locally understand his actions), I started shipping Harry and Luna SO HARD, and Hermione still was a snot nose, but she grew on me. I've ended up hating J.K. Rowling as a person starting after the whole Pewdiepie thing, and then when she kept fucking up her own series, especially with The Cursed Child (FUCK THE CURSED CHILD I WILL NEVER NOT BE SALTY), I was just kinda done with her. And I'm distant from the series. Though Harry and Luna (or Luny Loveter, as I call it cause I'm dumb) are still my OTP.

I first read Twilight though, when I was maybe 17. I'd heard nothing but trash from it, and wouldn't even give it the time of day, but my best friend insisted I read the series 1 time. So I did. The writing style was obviously terrible. Edward was bossy and angsty and obsessive and possessive. Bella had a monotone voice even in the book. Jacob was a stereotypical "friendzone" guy, with the added twist of eventually ended up with his old crushed daughter. The storyline was completely the fault of the protagonists, and you can point by point easily show how they fucked up. But here's the thing. I still loved it. Sure. The main three characters were trash, but the background characters were treasures. Charlie Swan was just a sweet and hard working man who missed his daughter terribly, but when life got "paranormal" for him, and he couldn't ask anyone explanation, he just went with it. Carlos was an over 300 years old vampire who's been probably one of the first to try the "vegetarian" lifestyle. He was so well trained to handle humans bleeding, that he was actually able to be a doctor. Rosalie hunted down her rapists one by one while wearing a wedding dress, saving her fiance for last so he'd know she was coming. Emmet fought a mother cucking bear! To save a stranger! Jasper conned his was into joining to Confederate Army while underaged, and became the one of the youngest majors, and then he gets turned into a vampire and fights in a VAMPIRIC CIVIL WAR!!!!??? Alice was evidently psychic enough as a human that she was sent to an insane asylum, and though she doesn't remember anything before waking up as a vampire, she had a vision of the Cullen's, and managed to keep herself sane. The wolves aren't actually werewolves. They're shapeshifters. Formerly some kind of astral projectors of some kind. But there ARE actual werewolves, or "Children of the Moon", out there. There's so much interesting stuff in the background. And even the book versions of the main three characters are at least interesting. The movies version sucks in comparison. Hands down.

Twilight is a terrible series. Its badly written, has stupid tropes, and weird plots. But damn. Its some fun trash to read. And it's not put on some pedestal for the High and Mighty Masterpiece Books or some shit. Most fans acknowledge the book is trash. But its our trash.

AND ANOTHER THING

Yall can go around acting all holier-than-thou because Stephanie Meyer is kind of a piece of shit but Harry Potter is still taken seriously despite JK Rowling’s entire pile of shit she’s accumulated. She’s problematic as fuck!!! But we still have stans out here for Harry Potter! And I’ll be DAMNED if yall haven’t found some problematic shit in THAT story (see: lack of LGBTQ representation, whitewashing, Snape’s whole storyline, unnecessary love stories, etc.)

So if everyone could just step off their high horses and let people like Twilight despite its problematic tendencies, that’d be great.

When he finally got out he was told by Birch that unless he changed his Ways and Calmed his Gigantic Temperature he would not be allowed to be beer Luni

He was driven to see his sister happy again. He wanted to be her Hero. So he took inspiration from the Heroes of the planet. However after he saw his city crumbling around him and seeing it was done by Ivo Robotnik, his anger only increased.

He was later drafted to fight against Eggman and his Empire. He now uses his Firey temper for team With the Aid of the Red Wisp. Scorch will now redeem himself and prove to be the hero to the one who ignites his spirit every Day.

Name: Luni

Nickname: Moonlight (Scorch), lunar bear, Climber

Age: 6

Gender: Female

Species: Moon Bear

Relatives: Scorch (Brother)

Height: 2'3

Likes: Her friends, Candy, Fruit, Meat, being with her big Brother, Chao and Wisps, her Dark chao Figgie, Climbing trees, and her guardian Birch.

Dislikes: being away from her brother, Eggman, bullies, Brussel sprouts, being told things that make her very confused and frustrated, and Dark places

-----------

Growing up in a broken home would've been very lonely for the little moon bear if wasn't for her dear older brother, who Luni knew she could count on when she was in a tight jam when she climbed.

After Scorch was arrested by police, Luni was taken by the Child Protection Service building before the spirit bear Brich took her in and when she found that Birch was not letting her near her brother Luni threw a fit and ran into the nearby forest crying.

When the moon bear reached a small lake in the clearing, she crouched in a nearby tree notch and her hugged knees. After a good 15 minutes Luni felt a slight tug on her dress and looked to see a dark chao looking at her with curious eyes as the lake she was at was a Chao Garden even saw wisps there.

Luni noticed how the Chao were like her in way, young, carefree, and in need of protection, the little moon bear saw that she needed to change too, she needed to look after someone else like both Birch and Scorch looked after her.

So, picking up the dark chao that was still holding on to her dress, Luni raced home to read about Chao care to finally look after someone else like how her brother looked after her in the early days.
