Specificity, Voice and Backstory
Today we're talking about character voice, backstory, and writing with specificity. I’ve talked about all these elements separately, but combined these three are the most important elements of your description. Why? Because describing something is the best place to learn not only what the character is experiencing, but more about them and their backstory.
We do that through drawing comparisons not to abstract ideas, but to specific moments the character has witnessed. Okay, consider these two examples:
The room smelled of warm spices and herbs like a fancy restaurant kitchen.
Vs.
The room smelled like the thyme and basil that clung to my mother's hair when she had finished making dinner, kneeling to hug me after I came in from school.
They convey the same information, but we learn so much more about the character in the second example.
In my Differentiating between Perspectives post, I talked more about attitude in character voice. What your character compares things to is a great tell for voice. Here’s the example from that post:
“The bar was filled to the brim with sweaty drunks falling over each other, barely cognizant of the drinks they were spilling--much less so the people around them.”
Versus
“Upbeat dance music filled the bar. A crowd had formed in the middle of the floor, people cheering and dancing together like the rest of the world hardly mattered.”
Right?
Check out the full post here:
So when you’re describing something and reaching for a metaphor or something to liken it to, try to make it personal, in the character’s voice, and specific. We can learn a whole lot more that way.

Ru’aun is the region with the most dialects, but it doesn’t have its own sign language. In Ru’aun, you have the Common language, the Yggdrasil forest language, the Eastern dialect, the Western dialect, and three different werewolf dialects, plus the old tongue is still fairly common among scholars and religious peoples and is used in schools in O’khasis and Scaleswind.
In Tu’la, you have the overarching common language, the desert dialect, the jungle dialect, and a fairly widespread sign language. It’s very common for meif’wa to communicate using sub-vocalizations but humans and some meif’wa hybrids can’t do this. It’s highly debated on whether or not the local werewolf population can understand sub-vocalizations. As a compromise for when meif’wa go non-verbal or when they can’t risk being overheard, the sign language is used. Tu’la sign doesn’t use many big motions, the hands are usually kept close to the chest and the angle of the hand and positioning of the fingers is very important. Many signs look similar, so it’s easy to get mixed up if you’re a beginner and it’s hard to distinguish which is which in the dark if you don’t have good night vision.
Gal’ruk sign is the complete opposite. Very expressive motions, lots of waving in patterns, and very few specific hand shapes. The snow and ice and all the layers you’re wearing eats up a lot of sound so communicating at a distance can be difficult. The hand shapes are limited to what you can manage with mittens, so it’s basically open hand with or without thumb sticking out, closed hand with or without thumb sticking out, and pointing. With such a small population, basically everyone knows at least the basics. Galenk is the local spoken language among the Enki Warrior Tribe, but some also speak Ru’auni Common, usually taught by whoever gets shipwrecked there.
#I like to imagine Travis talks with his hands a lot when he wants to be sure he's understood and has a hard time distinguishing#tone of voice when it's not accompanied by sign because the people of Gal'ruk are very expressive with their gestures#but not so much with their voices.#people learn to stand out of arms' reach since he keeps nearly smacking them in the face#travis valkrum#mcd travis#ru'aun worldbuilding#tu'la worldbuilding#gal'ruk worldbuilding#fictional language#dropofsunlightextras#mcd#minecraft diaries#aphmau minecraft diaries#mcd rewrite#aphverse#aphblr#aphmau mcd

Cardassian conlang (part 1?)
Finally started making my Cardassian conlang and I'm having so much fun already. Get this:
There's a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession, something that occurs in many natural languages. An example is, like, "my nose" vs "my hat". My nose is inalienable because it will always be mine, while my hat is alienable because it can stop being mine. So in languages with this distinction, you'd use different words for "my" in those two situations.
In my Cardassian language, possession is indicated with suffixes attached to nouns and people's names. People are "possessed" in the sense that, y'know, they're your mom or your friend or your orthodontist or whatever. Generally, you'd use the alienable form for people. Your orthodontist might not always be your orthodontist, your friend might not always be your friend. The exception is that you always use the inalienable form(s) for family. Your mom will always be your mom.
So, to use the inalienable possessive for a friend would be to say that they are as close to you as family, that you trust that they will always be your friend. This is often, like, a milestone in dating. To start saying "my girlfriend (inalienable)" marks that your relationship is serious. (Traditionalists will say that you shouldn't use the inalienable form until you're properly betrothed, but kids these days have their own ideas.) In this way, it becomes a pretty straightforward term of endearment (or, rather, grammatical particle of endearment).
Since there's no equivalent in Federation Standard, the translator often renders it as "my dear."
Here's a table of the 10 different words for "my"
So, presuming that the speaker is a man, and the person they're referring to is also a man who they don't have to use the honorific form with...
/alʊk/ - "friend"
/alʊkɬei/ - "my friend"
/alʊkxa/ - "my dear friend"
/ilɨm̥xa/ - "my dear Elim"
#no I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having so much fun hehehe#disclaimer: so much respect to the awesome cardassian conlangs that already exist and the ppl who made them!!#not trying to step on any toes I just thought it'd be fun to make my own :))#these r the first words I've come up with after settling on a phonemic inventory. which was fun in and of itself#THERE R EJECTIVES !!! ISNT THAT COOL !!!!! also no voicing distinction and nasals r usually voiceless#anyways. honorifics r mostly abt age I think. but also social class and rank probably#I like how the casual forms don't distinguish the speaker's gender. reflects that gender differences r more pronounced in formal situations#cardassians#ds9#asit#star trek#elim garak#narcissus's echoes#q's cardassian conlang#lingposting

there's something about this post about the angels/anomalies/creators that peeves me a little bit. It's not outdated or bad, but the thing about 'the multiverse was its own thing then the anomalies came and imposed their will on it' that doesn't.. sound right?
like yea, overwriting the characters' wills is what they do, but the phrasing makes them sound like unwanted parasites or invaders when it's not really the case.
undertale was made for you. it's world cannot exist without you booting up the game, and it's world and people cannot change without you continuing to engage with it. and the game knows this.
you, in every sense of the word, are fate. and the game treats you as being part of itself.
I think that the multiverse did in fact exist before it was found by the anomalies, but the multiverse created it's aus for you. or at least, for someone to engage with those aus.
the multiverse has some sort of sentience, in a way. it wants it's creations to be engaged with like any artist would.
it then up to the person that finds those creations, you, to decide how you want to pick them apart.
#me when concepts (like the multiverse) are described with having wants and feelings: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯#always makes me go crazy.#I also want to point that I forgot to add some additional information about the angels' recurring motifs.#them being that they're very tied to light and warmth. and sometimes the sun is used to represent them because of this.#also wanted to add that frisk is pretty much their own person with their own voice.#their soul does belong to them. just that the player controls that soul for the duration of the game.#it's just hard to distinguish the two when undertale doesn't do that much until the very end of the mercy run.#📺

we have gotta actually finish the other account, it has been months and we want to tell revi that we're also plural hgkjgk
#''why not just tell him about this account'' faucet says no even though revi is so nice and lovely hgkjg#also we get sad too much on this account we need to subject this to as few people as possible. (<- voice of a guy full of symptoms.)#but if we finally finish the account we can do all that yayy and also our simply pIural! did we say we finally transferred our pk info over#its so funny because if you look at our fronting history We Are All Fronting hgkjg#we don't have the time or even the ability to fully distinguish and compartmentalize different facets‚ especially in the timespan of our#front switches which is!! often!! :P (<- this sentence alone had like. five.) and much less would we be able to log them accurately#by the time we'd note whimsy's fronting it'd already be rationale taking over there is no winning i think hgkjg </3#anD IT MAKES US ANGRY THAT YOU GOTTA. CHOOSE SOMEONE THAT A MESSAGE IS FROM. WE DON'T KNOW EITHER!! WE ALL TALK TOGETHER!!#okay we're not that mad that's just hackles. it is like. annoying though. we just made a ''voli'' member for all of us to talk through.#it's also like. we gotta say that mom's fronting before we can mark a message as read. like. she's /not/ fronting she's taking care of lili#but we promise she got the message man. we can mark it as read on her behalf. we share a stream of consciousness with the lady my god.#it's probably really helpful to other plurals but for us it is not optimal. that site is Not built for us but we still wanted to make one#because other plural friends use it :P we probably won't be using it much honestly.#what were we talking about. right finishing the tumblr. but also we are like. we have so much to do? who has the time honestly..#god it would be easier if we could like. give each of us individual physical forms and multitask. problematic as well obviously since we#don't work well apart from each other but goddamn we could finally get more done at least? curse of being parts stuck in the same body.#okay we gotta go finish an art thing goobye!

Shoutout to that YouTube channel which had read outs of the bad guys book series up to I think book 13 who used a French-ish accent for Mr Snake. I think all the videos have been taken down now but I still imagine the characters with all those different accents I wish I could remember the YouTube channel name.
#the bad guys#the books are really great honestly I love the movie too but the books are a different feel#I don’t mean this as advocating for piracy but I did really appreciate those videos they were well edited#and the voices made the characters sound more distinguishable despite I think only one guy voice acting#the bad guys books#text post#im thinking about it bc of the bad guys 2 trailer yeahg

i think zhao is the best thing in natla. like there’s a lot of stuff in there that i really like but a lot of it is tied up with complicated feelings or worry about the future of the show. but zhao? he’s just rock solid from start to finish. what an amazing adaptation of his character, with an even more amazing performance on top to sell it
#i actually love him#y’all i’m so confused#cant get over ‘had you heard of my name before your capture or was this the first time’ PRJDHSJSKS MY MAN#i think i might be hot for him#hard to distinguish between unadulterated admiration for the performance and attraction lololol#i think it’s mostly the performance but that kind of admiration tends to bleed over u know#hence. confusion#i want him to read me a creepy slimey bedtime story#i think his voice could lull me to sleep so fast#i wonder how much of it can be drawn back to him not having heard of the show prior to being cast#i watched an interview where he talked about that#natla#atla live action#zhao#thoughts#ken leung

Quick question, on the new song SKZ released for Tower of God, does anyone know who the first person singing is?
I got a guess as to who it is, and I could wait until they release the whole song but I am dying to know who it is
#skz#stray kids#straykids#tower of god#bang chan#lee know#seo changbin#hwang hyunjin#han jisung#lee felix#kim seungmin#yang jeongin#i.n#I’m a baby stay#but I think I am confident in knowing who and who is singing/rapping by now#but there are times when it’s hard for me to distinguish their voices#is it Changbin?#it could be Lee Know as well#but I don’t think it is#it’s something really minor but a huge part of me needs to know#I’ve heard Changbin sing before#is it him?#I know right after him is I.N#someone please let me know

@sockdooe, the ignorance of this "analysis" is melting my brain.
What are your thoughts?
#Correspondence.#sockdooe#Takashi Shirogane#Shiro#Kuron#Voltron: Legendary Defender#So#according to this author#we're supposed to believe that not only was actual Shiro 'lying' about 'Kuron' being an 'evil clone'#but Josh Keaton ALSO lied when he said that he deliberately gave the *clone* a harsher sounding voice to distinguish between him and Shiro?#Was 'Shiro' going through an edgy phase when 'he' decided to be short-tempered#butcher his own hair#and wear short sleeves#and got over it as soon as he was resurrected?#And what relevance does anything in 'Steven Universe' have to do with VLD's clone plot?#'Kuron' is a clone.#His name is literally 'clone' in Engrish!!#Seriously#say it out loud.#'Kuu-rohne'.#Lauren Montgomery worked on an episode of 'Young Justice' that featured a clone-turned sleeper agent plot.#The crew was comprised of 'Evangelion' fans and I guarantee that Shiro being cloned was inspired at least in part by Rei.#The straw-grasping going on here defies comprehension.#There aren't even straws to be grasped!

Maybe it's just my weakness for Witchouse, but this song sounds like disturbed SCP-6624. Well, more disturbed than this collection of screaming and potentially still sentient bodies of women and children (probably to hit higher notes?) usually is.
I haven't been able to break away from this song for a week now, so you have to suffer too.
#random stuff#alagadda#scp 6624#scp#scp foundation#scp alagadda#scp fandom#witchouse#I LOVE witchouse#but even as a native speaker I can't distinguish what the voice screams in the beginning...#I think it's a name#which make this song even sadder#Youtube

Maḏayin Exhibition Opening: W. Waṉambi Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Megan Davis.
Professor Megan Davis has officially moved to Boston to take up the Whitlam Fraser Chair of Australia Studies at Harvard University.
Last week, Professor Davis travelled to New York to deliver the W. Wanambi Distinguished Lecture at the Asia Society in New York. The lecture was part of a program put together to celebrate the opening of the Madayin Exhibition - Eight Decades of Aboriginal Australian Bark Painting from Yirrkala. It is an extraordinarily powerful exhibition, the largest exhibition of Aboriginal Art to be in New York for over two decades. Titled 'Seen but not heard', the lecture spoke to the pioneering work of the Yolgnu people in law reform and structural change, and their influence on Aboriginal politics over time. It also spoke to the tendency of Australia to applaud art and artworks, whilst ignoring its politics. People, and especially Governments, don't listen unless they are compelled to. You can watch the lecture in full on the Asia Society YouTube channel
