To our dear normal Apollo,

We should build you a castle and dress you up in very lavish and stylish purple and red clothes, from wool and silk made in Arabia from a skilled tailor. We should don you with a golden crown made from the finest lazuli, gold and diamond. We should make you wear rings made of gold and emerald to symbolise your royalty. We should spoil you with feasts made for only the greatest emperors. Pheasant everyday, and chicken on the weekends, seasoned with spices imported from India and China. We should make you sit on a golden throne, and not on an office chair. We should make you hold a sceptre that symbolises your sense of justice and authority. We should make you sleep on a bed made only from the finest silk imported from the middle east. We should baptise you so you can have the lord's blessing on your countless wars against the enemies of the empire. We should be forced to call you "your Highness", "your Majesty", "my Liege", "my Lord". We should make you have an entire army follow you, so we can sleep peacefully at night knowing that our beloved prince is safe and at peace. We should celebrate your birthday at the center of the town, where only the finest orchestras and musicians will be invited to sing of your achievements and victories, with plenty of wine and food.

You, my sweet prince, son of a siren and travelling bard, shall be treated like royalty.

"...I sincerely hope you didn't actually write that all out for me."

I highly recommend joining your local town's Facebook groups, about 80% of it will be trash but occasionally you get absolute gems like this

The more I think about it, the more I kind of laugh at Moxxie's whole plan in Unhappy Camper? I mean, guy made a chart and came up with a pretty detailed description of his character, while Millie's character ultimately just got summed up as "He likes sports". But then my favorite part is the names he came up with for their characters? Did he pick musical references, like calling himself Christine and Millie Erik or something like that? No, he literally just added an "N" into his name to make it sound like "Maxine", and just switched two letters in Millie's full name, going from Mildred to Milerd.

Moxxie: Hi my name is Moxxine Dull'ness Demoanya Possum Knolastname and I have long platinum blonde hair (that's how I got my name) with pigtails and long nails and hellish yellow eyes like acid pools and a lot of people tell me I look like Michael Crawford (AN: if u don't know who he is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Loopty Goopty but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm an imp but my teeth are straight and white. I have firey red skin. I'm also an assassin, and I go to a summer camp called Camp Ivannakummore in USA where I'm in the seventh year (I'm seventeen). I'm the most popular girl in my school (in case you couldn't tell) and I wear mostly-accurate human fashion. I love Sears and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing my black tube top with a little heart necklace and pink torn jeans, showing off my hooves. I was wearing light lipstick, no foundation, and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Camp. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

Also Moxxie: this is my brother, Milerd. He likes.... sports?

Look at you, still scrolling when there's work to do. When I look in here, it makes me glad I'm not you. You've got information to learn, there is research to be done, for as long as you are still alive.

Anon. Anon you're aware that when I'm not on Tumblr I'm reading or watching educational videos on nuclear technology right.

[elektroyu]

Omg I just spent like 2 entire days trying to figure out how to access my shop again after it wouldn't let me just re-install it in my webspace because of changed php requirements. My old version store requires an outdated php version which my provider doesn't support anymore. How it even worked up until May is beyond me, but I digress.

So! Made it work finally by installing older versions of everything locally on my pc (also on Linux, I honestly applaud myself for that feat XD).

Now. Since I can't just go back to the older version because of the php problem, the question is how to go about getting all the info from my old shop into the new version. The issue is that the databases aren't compatible anymore either 🙄 So do I transfer everything manually via good ol' copypasta (takes ages, but shouldn't cause any issues) ooor do I try to upgrade the locally installed shop gradually to the new version and then transfer everything to the live shop (could be quicker, but the risk of breaking all sorts of things is pretty high tbh... Prestashop is not for the faint of heart (but it's free so I chose it anyway)). Decisions, decisions...

people who spill their feelings in the reblogs, people who put praises in the tags and comments even though you guys don't have to, people who give feedbacks i love you

WHY has GRIAN, who in my opinion is not great at PvP, beaten me by 20 places in the Tumblr top 100 web celebs of 2023, yet I have NEVER finished ahead of him in Buildmart. It is disproportionate to the rest of the games statistically!!!

Web Celebs

Minecraft streamers, Dropout stars, and D&D enthusiasts, all in one neat and tidy list.

[the-actual-ocean]

Hello! We've decide that the Ocean crew will be doing a notes post. This will be horrible. It'll be great!

10 notes - We share our favourite ocean animals, with a little explanation or information about them. As a notice, crab people have not been an available option since their extinction in 2015. Reached!

30 notes - We share an ocean story. This can be experience with one of the asks, past interactions with animals, etc. Hopefully, we'll all refrain from doing copypastas. Reached!

75 notes - I, Juno, will sort of shuffle all the Chuck asks I've recieved into one, unintelligible mass of throw. It'll be great. Reached!

150 notes - We reveal the name of the ungodly creature that we have beneath our base. Reached!

200 notes - We reveal and infodump on our hyper fixations. May God have mercy on your soul. Reached! Oh, God.

300 notes - We each answer 1 ask, out of character. These will be moderated, but with the same rules as the pinned post. Just as a reminder, asking our opinions on fake snow will not take up our 1 question each. Reached!

500 notes - We draw our favourite ocean animals. Not well. Reached!

750 notes - We draw the PFPs of 3 random followers, one for each mod, and then drown them in excessive water filters. This should be seen as a curse. Reached!

1,000 notes - We share what the base is, why we're here, what we were before we came, and other fun lore that we are not creating on the spot. Reached! Oh, God.

2,000 notes (impossible, super, ultra, mega, ¥150 worth, defenestrating challenge) - We provide images of what we look like. This will probably range from pencil drawings, to collages or vibe boards. Good luck getting a good image of us, suckers. We're unimaginable. Reached. Oh.

2,001 notes - We reveal our mains.

Rules: None! Feel free to reblog, like, link, kill, carwash, kill, steal this post however much you want. THERE ARE RULES THERE ARE THERE ARE RULES!!!! ONE REBLOG PER PERSON!! 4 COMMENTS!!! MURDER ONCE!!!!HEY GUYS GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT GUESS WHAT!!! JUNO SAID YOU CAN HAVE AN EXTRA REBLOG! YOU GET TWO REBLOGS AND FOUR COMMENTS NOW Yet another rule change. You all get 5 more reblogs, and 10 comments. I'm going to regret this.

List of Tumblr things that would NOT get the Tumblr devs eaten alive for changing the website (Tumblr please take notes)

We're changing how moderation works: Reporting blogs at a certain threshold (maybe 1000 unique reports) gets it sent to a human person for manual review. Nobody gets deleted without a human pulling the kill switch.

Refined search engine: There's a new button you can press when searching a term that lets you exclude certain tags, sort by date posted/most likes/etc. Also you can refine it to include only results from certain users. It's the Ao3 system. Please I'm begging you Tumblr's search is so broken and hides so many works behind an arbitrary cap. You can't tell me there are only 3000 posts about Zelda over the 10+ years this site has been alive, you CAN'T.

Theme on/off switch on page: Themes are an integral part of Tumblr. You can HTML things to death. But sometimes they're illegible to some people, so instead of having to swap "powdermelonkeg.tumblr.com" to "tumblr.com/powdermelonkeg" manually, there's a sliding toggle at the top of the blog that allows you to quickly switch between them.

Filterable asks: You can set blocked terms so people can't send you them in your ask box. For example, if I don't want to see anything about "weather," nobody can ask me anything that includes the word "weather." And if there's a scam/copypasta sort of thing going around, you can block entire paragraphs of text.

Mutual icons beside usernames on posts: Same as it is in the Activity tab, you can now see if someone who put something on your dash is a mutual or not.

Search followers/following letter-by-letter: No longer do you have to type in "powdermelonkeg" spelled exactly correctly to see if you're following powdermelonkeg, you can just type in "powd" and all users except "powdermelonkeg," "powderpuffgirls," "expowd" etc will be filtered out. (I MADE THESE USERNAMES UP EXCEPT MINE. I DON'T KNOW THESE PEOPLE)

Toggleable See Results: You asked, we heard, you can now decide when making a poll whether or not people should be allowed to see the results before they've voted.

Block Specific Posts: Sometimes something's so icky it makes your stomach turn. Sometimes you're just sick of all your mutuals reblogging the same meme. Block a post without blocking OP.

WAKE UP BABES NEW COPYPASTA JUST DROPPED

*ahem*

ULYSSES. DIES. AT DAWN!! At least, that's the word on the street from those that saw what went down at Calypso's,,,, now, listen up! 'Cause we've got a labyrinthine twisted task of a tale to tell; and if you don't keep up, you might get lost. First, to understand how this all goes down, you've got to know a little about the planet we're talking of. See, on this planet there was a city, *grim* old city, sort of place the rain beats down like coffin nails 'n' the air wafts with the cigarette stench of betrayal. My. Kind of. Town. Now this city, *grim* old city, it starts to grow,,, and when it meets with other towns, other cities, it takes them into itself, absorbs them, until soon enough, there's no land left. So the city spreads outwards into the sea, and when there's no sea left, the sea spreads upwards into the *sky*, and when there is No. Sky. Left. It burrows inwards, like a cancer into the bowels of the planet. And eventually, there is *Nothing. But. The City.* And so, generations live and generations die in the warrens and the tunnels, and even the lower levels of the surface. And they never see the sun. And it's in one of the deepest, most secret of these tunnels that we meet our hero- goes by the name of *Ulysses!* Currently beaten, battered, bloody, unbowed. Spits out a mouthful of teeth and disdain and looks up to see four of the meanest bastards of the meanest streets of the meanest parts of the city, all immaculately turned out in pinstripes. We'll call them the Suits. You might ask how we came to such a pass, I know Ulysses is. Well, it started in a bar, as these things so often do. Calypso's, a run down old gin joint, pays its money to Dionysus. Our hero, slumped over a bottle of whiskey, trying to drown enough sorrows to choke a horse. And one horse in particular,,,,,,

you’re welcome 😊

[shivadh]

Also also, how much of the language do you have figured out at this point? I keep on wishing it was something I could learn, because tavat as a concept has me in a chokehold. Do you only have what you've used, or is there a secret word document with a dictionary and grammar rules being put together?

I've got a little tiny bit of grammar and some vocabulary, but that's about it, and the vocab is basically split between "made it up because it sounds fun" and "nicked it off nearby countries". Like Naran Juice Box Company is a Shivadh company, and they primarily used to sell orange juice so they use the Shivadh word for orange, "Naran", which has an obvious relationship to the Spanish word "Naranja". The football team takes after the "giallorossi" (yellow-reds) of Roma and call themselves the "Levenaran" (blue-oranges) but Leve is just made up because it fit well -- and of course if you are a member of the team you don't just support the levenaran, you are considered "Levenaranh".

Tavat was likewise made up to sound dramatic. :D At least as far as I recall. I wrote most of Infinite Jes on my phone while traveling, across about three weeks, and usually after going to bed, so my memories of composing it are remarkably hazy.

I will eventually actually have a public webpage with all the Shivadh language stuff on it, though. I'm building a wiki for the books which is mostly just needed by me so I'm not constantly looking up shit, and one page will be what is canonical about the Shivadh language.

I know some things; the big one is that the language uses suffixes frequently, so you'd modify a word by appending a suffix rather than using an adjective. The -h on the end of Shivadh to indicate nationality isn't used super commonly but it's meant to indicate origin, like it's basically "of" but where "of" denotes being from somewhere ("I am of Shivadlakia" but not "It's full of stars"). I just recently included -ic in the last short story as a diminutive, so when Michaelis says "tavatic" he's calling his grandson a sweet little prince. He wouldn't use "tavatic" for Joan or Noah, they're too old; when he calls Joan "mio Ioannina" he's speaking Italian, and using a diminutive that's more appropriate to her age.

In the football novel, the protagonist Paolo is often called Paodet, which is a nickname Gerald made up for him when they were younger. Paolo didn't get a ton of Shivadh language because he left the country for football reasons fairly young, but he knows -det means "beautiful" so he's Beautiful Paul, basically. What he's not really cognizant of for a while is that -det has a specific connotation of a thing, so he's beautiful like a statue, not like a person, because he was always a little standoffish.

And of course "Dy" is boat, which gets the general intensifier -chev added to make sure it's the boatiest. Which is also how we get "Ejechev", the equivalent of the Italian "Daje" or the English "Go team!"

But yeah, most of it's just nouns, so I'll have a list up eventually. :D I'm about a third of the way done with the wiki -- all the notes have been taken and sorted into various files, but now I need to turn "a bunch of copypasta notes from the books" into cohesive profile pages on, say, Shivadh culture, or Gerald Dux Shivadlakia, or the RSBC, or Institut Alpin. It's not difficult, just time consuming.
