There's this creepypasta called "The Holders" where almost every entry for that story begins with the legend "In any city, in any country, there's a mental institution or halfway house" well, today I did that, not waiting to find a cursed object or anything, but I went to a mental health hospital for reasons I'm not discussing here, but i had to go to the lowest lever of the building, and once I was there, I got a warning on my Digimon Dock in the middle of a waiting room. That aside the warning was mostly wanted, since apparently someone followed me from the station, yes, it was Vamdemon.

We got out of the building and confronted him under a bridge, not only about why he was there, but about the sermon he gave us last night, and we got our answers. This Vamdemon is part of a cult that veneers a corrosive virus known as GRB or "Gulus Realm Burst" and he has been following our activity since we started our crusade against the police forces, this because the police has been working with the military, since they are both interested in the use of GRB in combat, and specifically, to make the Digimon go berserk and be able to fight nonstop while burning their data...

After revealing this shocking information, that made my concerns more real than ever, Vamdemon said that he will be "searching to avenge the lost honor of its Master by going against the organized forces too" which basically means that he will be supporting our fight, or, at least I hope it means that, whatever it is, at least we know that he's not against us... for now.

Oh yeah, and one last thing, after all this Vamdemon chit chat, I finally asked the Gammamon brothers and Ghilliedhumon if they would be joining our cause, and all of them said yes! So we have three more team members and one external ally I guess, of course, the Gammamon pair needs to be actually trained, but we'll be working on that sooner than later, the team is more than ready to fight, and you know, that I'll keep you updated.

"THE HOLDERS"

Proyecto Universitario - Creación de un poster publicitario para una revista. Contaré el proceso de trabajo :3

Como siempre, lo primero es bocetar la idea y estructura. Los diseños de personaje que utilice fueron originalmente creados por Idol Aely Artist, aunque que yo me encargué de pulir pocos detalles.

Con los personajes y elementos listos lo siguiente era empezar a trazar el LineArt. Utilice tinta negra, acuarelas, lapices de color y plumones para los detalles más pequeños.

¿Cómo fue que hice el poster? Simple. Escaneé cada ilustracion que habia hecho a mano, recorte los personajes, agregué pinceladas y algo de brillo. (como este poster se tenia que imprimir duplique el archivo y lo cambie a un formato de color CMYK).

Terminé haciendo 2 versiones del poster por que no podía decidirme por uno solo. Recalco que este se trata de un FANART, no es ninhun proyecto oficial de la plataforma de streaming.

Can't believe this never dawned on me before. Do any of the holders speak another language? Have new languages developed over the eons?

Very excited to talk about this one cause I've always wanted to discuss demon language specifically!

But!! I'm getting ahead of myself! I'll answer the first part quick!

John- Basically nothing outside of English. Knows some individual words, but often mixes up what languages they come from, and even what they mean.

Charles- A bit of Standard Chinese, but not enough to hold a conversation. Some Greed-Variety Demontongue, just enough to handle business contracts.

Ferris- A decent amount of Spanish, although he doesn't use it a whole lot due to lack of opportunities. Basic Demontongue, mostly dumb pickup lines.

Daniel- Literate with French, Egyptian, Standard Chinese, and a decent amount of Basic and Pride-Variety Demontongue, is unable to speak any of these.

Jeagar- Very knowledgeable regarding Hebrew, literate with several ancient dead languages, especially Latin, Sanskrit, Biblical Hebrew, and Akkadian. Also literate with all varieties of Demontongue and Angelchirp. Can speak most of these on an intermediate level.

Now!! Regarding languages in the ZoP universe! In general, at least on Earth, I don't imagine humans or undead have really created new languages. That being said, I do imagine the degradation of borders and interactions between undead/humans from other cultures has led to the development of multiple sub-languages all around the world. I won't get into every single one here, it's just something I'm laying out.

There are two languages exclusive to ZoP itself I'd like to discuss; Angelchirp and Demontongue, those being the native tongues of angels and demons of course.

---

NOTE: Just for context, the words from these languages take snippets from other words of whatever speech they're being translated into (ex; "fivfinlim", which takes bits from the words "five", "finger", and "limb", means "hand" in Basic Demontongue). The words in my writing will be based on the English language for my convenience. That being said, Angelchirp and Demontongue are very complicated in their original forms, so they need to be heavily localized for humans to even understand them as languages (and literally not explode while trying to speak them).

TLDR; The translated versions of these languages I use in ZoP are not the only versions that exist.

---

OK WITH THAT IN MIND, Angelchirp is pretty universally similar for all angels. There may be some dialect differences for the higher-ups, but that's about it. When translated, it often uses bits of words related to emotions and the spiritual. It also acts as the base for all languages in the universe, including Demontongue.

Speaking of, Demontongue is far more complex and insane than to Angelchirp. While most basic nouns/verbs are universally the same, a lot of words can be totally different depending on what species of demon is speaking. So uh...yeah...prepare for a beefy ass read lmao.

---

Gluttony/Wrath/Lust-Variety (also called Basic): The first and most common rendition of Demontongue. Quite similar to Angelchirp in its original script due to being a direct descendent from when Hell was first created. Where it differs is that when translated, it uses snippets of words related to the physical, usually regarding nature and flesh.

---

Greed-Variety: A more complicated version than Basic, originally invented by greed demons as a form of code to prevent outsiders (including other demons) from prying into their affairs. Not really spoken in casual conversation, mostly used to encode secret messages. Often rely on the words of numeric systems when translated.

---

Sloth/Envy-Variety (also called Simple): An odd version of the language that predominantly appears in magic-related material written during humanity's Dark Ages. Origins coincide with the era when Sloth and Envy Demons terrorized humanity. Most notably the easiest variety to translate due to being more similar to the Greek alphabet than demonic runes (the progenitor for Basic Demontongue). Because of this, magidemics believe Simple was actually created by early human sorcerers as a tool for what would become spell crafting.

---

Pride-Variety: The most difficult and complicated of all varieties of Demontongue created during the peak of the Pride Demon's culture. Infamous for having some of the most convoluted, long, and difficult to pronounce words, perhaps in all of the universe (ex: "crekmahogoakbireverbarkflorfon", which means board). Hell-based historians argue this is to increase the magic potential of Pride Demon spells, although adept sorcerers believe this was done so the noble class could gatekeep their brand of magic from the "common rabble". Regardless, due to the outbreak of the Affliction, there is the very real possibility that this dialect might become a dead language in the not too distant future, which brings worry to the magic world, but relief to those tasked with translating demonic scripture.

Had a dream that I submitted the first dozen or so entries in the Holders creepypasta series to the SCP Foundation (along with a short article with context for people unfamiliar with the Holders) for archival purposes, with plans to upload the rest if accepted. Then I went to a theme park with my friends, and while we were there I got a notification that my submission was accepted. When I went to the website, I discovered two things: one, that they had formatted my submission specifically like a kid's edutainment website (not really mad about that one TBH), and two, that they included the names of all my friends in the articles, since I had used them as placeholders for some reason.

today I learned about "thumb book holders" in my search for ways to read giant fantasy paperbacks without injuring myself, and then I realized I could make one out of the 20-year-old polymer clay that I had lying around... so I did. and god DAMN it's more effective than I ever expected, so I thought everyone should know about them. You can get really cheap mass-produced ones but this was fun to make and I'll probably make more ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
