#ill reblog this w a note for tumblr in this system

[foryouthegays]

Idk how to make the break thing on mobile so this is tagged long post & mc lang redesign if yall want to filter that bc im sorry

Ok! So the enchanting table language is called galactic, and it sucks. Its not actually a conlang its more of a cypher thing? Which makes this easier so let me get a pic of this horrendous alphabet

Why is this horrible, you ask? Many, many reasons.

1, none of them have any identifiable meanings. They’re all just random symbols. One thats always bothered me is h. To me, that looks like the wither. Why is on h, then? If they were basing the letters on words that already existed (which is pretty common and a p natural way for written language to progress), shouldnt the symbol for h actually be used for w?

The letters also have a noticable similarity to latin letters, I notice this most in i, w (triple upstroke, triple dots), f, x, u, and y. They aren’t super noticable, but once you see it, it’s difficult to unsee.

2, theyre hard to read from a distance. Many of them look almost exactly the same, which is a common problem but still a problem. The worst letters for this are i & j, z & y, w & u, s & c, f & u, and a few others.

3, the use of dots. Oh, how i hate dots in writing. How many people do you know actually dot all of their i’s & j’s? Not many. Its much, much faster to use one (or two) strokes when writing, and many people who write fast or take notes have a half cursive, half print handwriting, because the concept of not taking ones pencil off the paper is a faster way of writing. Having letters that use a dot is fine, but making that dot necessary and the letter common is,,,a pain. I know that the ë, ö, ä, all of those are letters, but thats only a few letters out of the alphabet.

Galactic? Four of the letters are made of dots (r, w, j, i). Could you imagine trying to write, and having to make dots in the form of a square? Poor enchanters. Many other letters require the use of dots to differentiate different letters, the most notible being n & o, and k & l. The whole alphabet has only 9 letters without a dot, and many of those (4) require one to lift their pencil when writing. Again, having parts of a letter not connect isnt unheard of, but it does make differentiate between letters difficult.

Something that makes the latin alphabet nice is that every (or, almost every) letter has an easy way of seeing how the letter should go. Theres usually a clear path that a pen could take, and many of the letters start on the left and end on the right, making writing much quicker. Galactic doesn’t have that at all. Even ignoring the monstrosity that is r, many of the letters have little to no path. Take a look at h, how is one to write that without backtracking several times? Same with b, its just an awkward shape.

Now, onto the redesign!

A few of these have meanings I think relates to minecraft.

D is meant to look a bit like a head on view of elytra/ dragon wings

E is meant to look like the eye of ender/ endermens eyes, or the elder guardians eye. Lots of eye symbolism in e

G is a ghast tear or a guardian eye, you choose

O is for ocean

P should look like a potion bottle

R is for redstone connecting together/ redstone currents

W is wither. Yes i was salty abt h having this one and put in here just because of that.

These arent all of them, but theyre the ones i remember the most. You’ll notice that a few of them do use dots (k & o) but k is not the most common of letters, and the dot above the o is 1 a feature in many languages (ö) and 2 an easy addition, start the letter at the top, do a clockwise circle, and when unreach the top again, u do the dot. Pretty simple. K is only one dot, not f o u r (looking at you, r), which means that even though it isnt perfect, its what we have and its better than galactic.

I know q & m are similar, but so are u and v in the latin alphabet. Too bad. Live mad about it, they’re different enough

This system is actually pretty easy to write in, most of the letters are easy on the hand (except for e, god i regret making it like that. But its what we have and its not too bad when u get used to it). I also have punctuation and a bit of numbers made for this system, but yea this is long enough.

Post for my tags!

Heya! Here's a post for my tagging system. Some things may have confused u for what a tag means, so here!!

Oh i should note that most of my tags are commentary? Tho i'm... very confused as to why u followed me if u don't read my tags ^^;

Anywho!

For general posting!

"Reblog" - ok this one's p self-explanatory but it's what i tag the posts i reblog with! It's... a tad useless bc 95% of my blog is reblogging but! I've done it for so long it doesn't feel right to just stop dattebayo

"Reblog to spread the word" - these are mainly used on informative posts? But can also be used on posts that are like "hey i hope u have a good day today and u deserve good things" bc i feel that way abt nyall :> oh and it can also b used as a tag for things that are too light-hearted to put in save a life!

"Reblog to save a life" - thsse are posts w p heavy topics! Donation posts also fall into this category bc i kno they can make some feel guilty as they can't donate, n i wanted to put that stuff into a neat lil tag.

"Spread them commissions like butter on bread" - my commissions tag! I rb a lot of commission posts, so if u ever feel generous n donate some muns, then hop into that tag or save a life to find some peeps to throw ur money at!!

"Long Post" - i don't use this one often but i use it for posts that require me to lazily scroll 2+ times to get to the bottom of it! For conveniency, if peeps don't wanna open that can of worms. Oh, and this one can be requested to add to a post! Not sure if i ever said that ('v')b

"The Habby Place" - this used to be called "Happy Vibes", but I changed it to the habby place! There are still some posts tagged as the latter so im sure if u searched that u could find some more, but this is my positivity tag! Posts to look at when ur feelin down abt smth n just wanna look at cute animals or validating posts :D

For friends!

"Okaeri!" - this is my tag for my very poggers friend, franiel!! It's the romanized version of the japanese phrase, "Welcome back!" as their url used to be maidsonas (n maids normally say "welcome back!" to regulars, from what im gatherin)

"Extra! Extra!" - the tag I use for my very good best friend johnny! I kno xem for being into newsies, so i thought abt that n the song Hush Hush Magazine - Tape Five popped up. it's heard in the background of the pre-chorus!

"Zeus' Horny Mistake" - the tag i use for my very good older bro lyle!! U probs won't see this tag much bc i normally use the people tags for like. Posts he made, BUT. i wanted to include it anyways >:)

"J'adore les étoiles" - the tag I use for my very good best friend Air! J'adore les étoiles translate to "I love the stars", which is a song by The Orion Experience (where the line comes from). They also go by Star, which is why I thought of it! Normally used when they send me posts

"Jus a swarm of bees :>" - the tag I use for my very good best friend Bee!! Tbh i was tryin to think of smth more witty when coming up for a tag but that.. was what stuck? So i stuck w it!!

For personal posts!

"Zombie Murmurs" - speaking of posts made by OP, this is my tag for posts i made! You know, like this one ajfjsjf to me it makes sense both as a brian monster prom kinnie (where i get my name from) n also w my url so >:3

"Ask me Anything!" - a tag i use for ask games and when i receive asks! (Very rare lmao)

"Tag You're It" - the tag i use for posts that are like "put your experiences w this thing in the tags" n stuff. If u kno the reference to the tag no u don't ♡ /j

For fandoms!

If i recall, most of them just have the name of the fandom but i kno there are exceptions!! Ill update this as i remember them (like w the other tags too)

Tho i will say that i do put "[series] spoilers" at the end of things often if it's specific so keep that in mind ('v')b

"Leg" - The Legend of Zelda series! Referencing a tumblr post where peeps were editing the cover of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to say things like "Legend of Zegend: Breath of the Weath" to which it got to just "Leg".

"Ryu ga Gotoku" - would u believe me if i said that i made this entire post just to use this point sjfjskf but yaya!! I'm gonna b using this title for the Yakuza game series as i feel it's gonna become a Big interest of mine as time goes on skfjsjf

(Note: I moved most of my ykz content over to my hyperfix sideblog, majimasteeth!)

"Phoenix Wright" - the tag I use for the Ace Attorney series! ... even though ace attorney works just as well - i think phoenix wright: ace attorney first so it's been that tag 😔 thoughhh i have a bad memory so i may switch between that one and "Ace Attorney". I'm sure u can find some content in both tags

A rulla thumb i go by is that I put game content on this blog n anime content on gayhatokareshi! Hyperfixes go on majimasteeth, and the url/theme will prolly change dependin on the hyperfix(es). Currently, my hyperfixes are: Genshin Impact, Ryu ga Gotoku, and The Magnus Archives. I'll prolly post stuff there when someone sends posts to me, but!! Yaya

HOGWARTS HOUSE: Gryffindor

[ EXPERIENCE ]

HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): 13 years, give or take a year PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: In rough order: Neopets forums, email, deviantArt notes, deviantArt chat, msn, skype, tumblr, discord. BEST EXPERIENCE: Approaching a writer on deviantArt and asking them to roleplay was how I made friends with a woman who would eventually become my first partner - we never met and likely never will since I broke off contact, but that friendship carried me through a really hard time in my life. Honestly though? This blog is quickly ranking up there - I’ve never met so many people through one avenue who are excited to write with me! It feels like every time I hit a lull a new opportunity or mun pops up and whoops, here I am for the ride again.  Not to mention playing McCree is knocking a lot of things off my general roleplay bucket list.

[ WRITING  PREFERENCES]

FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT?: All of the above? I come to the RPC to exercise my story telling muscles and explore the relationship my muse has with other muses above all else, and a healthy mix of three is really good for that. If I had to choose though fluff rules over all, since those cute moments are absolutely the basis for great relationships. (I do enjoy smut a lot, especially exploring a more kinky dynamic between two muses in and out of scenes? But argh, I still feel that saying that implies I prefer it, or has weird connotations I am not about. I have several muses I interact with where I’m perfectly fine with interactions ending in fade-to-black and then I have others that would have middle aged white woman clutching their pearls. It’s all about chemistry with muns, down to the topic of conversation yeah?) PLOTS OR MEMES: Memes are amazing for first time interactions, especially since I can be quite shy at approaching? And generally once me and a mun have gone back and forward a few times memes kind of sprawl out into their own thing, or inspire a adjacent thread in a similar way regular plotting would. That being said, I get little hearts in my eyes when a mun comes to me with ideas or they jump on an idea I present, so probably preference to plotting. There’s a reason I reblog so many memes though! LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Long is where my heart is, but I can really struggle to get replies out to those reliably i am so sorry so shorter things really bridge the gap. My happy place is probably 2-3 paragraphs, since its enough meat in a reply to get really excited over, but it’s not too daunting to reply to. BEST TIME TO WRITE: Late at night, but only because that's when I have time usually. I’m pretty sure I’ve written replies at every hour of the day :’D ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): For me to really click with a muse I have to relate to them in some way, so I can properly see through their eyes and write their train of thought so I absolutely think there are some similarities. His independence and romanticism of life are things I empathise with greatly, and there are smaller things too like his love of nicknames and charisma. Other things still, like his easy going nature and flirtatious ways are traits I have but have exaggerated for him. Still, I’m several years younger than canon McCree so there’s a worldliness I can’t always bring to his character, and in general I think I run a... Softer? McCree than canon has characterised him as. Not to mention I struggle to get into that angry-at-the-world, all bark and bite character that we see in Blackwatch, but I credit that to not writing that period as often. tl;dr he’s fun to write and I’m not stopping anytime soon :D

Because of you, I've learned a new word! Compersion! Also, don't recall if I ever saw it or if my memory fell out but what are they in a group for?

Nice! I’m always happy to learn a new word, so that’s good news to me. :) The group is a mental health/illness peer support group. mdpthatsme replied to your photo “Compersion. I’m like the King of that.”

THIS IS FANTASTIC!

THANK YOU! :D san-myshuno-dreamin replied to your photo “I’m sorry, friend. :P”

The king sought guidance from the Watcher? hehe

Haha! Perhaps. I was also thinking he might be looking up and wondering why they’re all in this weird set location again. That moment every simmer has (or is it just me?) where they start to wonder if they’re becoming self-aware. lauriempress replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Oops I got mixed up about who Ripp's night was being shared with. My bad.

No worries. :) I suspect you weren’t the only one, just the only one who admitted it. I was hoping to play with expectations there a little. ejsims replied to your photo “(part ten) Don’t do this, she thought, but then resisted. No, that...”

Sounds like they really need to bring Johnny into this conversation.

No doubt. *nods* I probably won’t rehash it, but rest assured that will happen eventually. pleasant-lives replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Lol. I'm like Rip

Guilty as charged. :P In the both the chips and the not wanting to share my chips. And also the sulking, I’ll admit, though I’ve been getting much better at that over the years. wickedjr89 replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Aww poor Rip :(

Ripp appreciates your sympathy. lauriempress replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Hmm, from that last line it sounds like the one he really needs to talk to is asleep upstairs.

We mention this above, but I was thinking that the fact that he said this line to her would reveal the truth about whose night it was supposed to be, but I don’t think it really came through clearly until the next post. *shrugs* Oh well. thisisej replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Ohohohoho! *insert surprised Chris Pratt GIF here*

Though I do think you figured out whose night it was, right? :P I like this reaction. A lot. :) penig replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Not like Ripp to be pissy, but he's also dealing with Dad feelings right now.

Ripp can definitely have his moody moments. The Dad feelings bring out the defensiveness, for sure. Getting into that head space probably takes him back to a time when that was his only recourse. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part nine) Downstairs, Ripp was consoling himself with a bag of...”

Looks like this is going to take more than just an apology. Maybe something they'll have to journal out and talk about in group.

Yes, perhaps. Definitely some communication is in order. :) jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Look at that face. :(

jaydesims replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Poor Ripp. :(

Thank you for your reactions. :) vladora-sims replied to your photo “(part eight) “Well that was nice,” she said. “Unexpected.” ...”

I love the creative discretion shots : )

Thanks! It’s a lot of fun to figure out those shots, haha! I realized after I had done these that she was getting into her pjs instead, so I could have gone with the tank instead of the bra, but there’s no way I was re-doing it. :P holleyberry replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

*gets out my simlish dictionary*

I appreciate your dedication. haha. Maybe I should provide a translation? w-sims replied to your photo “I was thinking about the actual details of JRO’s weekly sleeping...”

This is so adorable!

Thank you! I’m glad you think so. :) timberwolfoz replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Awwww. :(

nicbemused replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Disappointed Ripp is disappointed. Poor baby.

I’ll answer these together. Thank you for your reactions. :) mdpthatsme replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

Oh snap!

I like this reaction. heehee. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

I agree with Peni.

penig replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

You can share.

Yes, he certainly can. And he does. ;) pixelcurious replied to your photoset “(part seven) “But it’s my night.”

His facial expressions are PERFECT.

Thank you so much, Pixel! :D I couldn’t ask for a nicer compliment than that. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part six) After checking in on the rest of the children, Ripp...”

Damn! My hopes have been shattered.

Next time, Holley. Maybe next time. *makes note to deliver at a later date perhaps* ;) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part five) “Alright, let’s get you ready for bed,” she said,...”

...and then Ripp walks in.

Pretty obvious, right? :P esotheria-sims replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

The 'your other father will string me up' line made me chuckle. Gotta love Ripp.

I’m glad you like that line. :) I imagine he’s right. Johnny probably wouldn’t approve of Ripp’s rule breaking, haha. He may be a tad too lawfully good? furryjackal replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Hahaha I love when Sims play Sims! Even mine do too.

Yeah, it’s funny, for sure. :) holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part four) “Hey Lil, that doesn’t look like homework to me.” “This...”

Oh, I wonder who it was.

It was Buzz. I actually added a little link there for a refresher, because I’m sure people have forgotten. It’s been a while. holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I love their cute little house.

Thanks. :) I love that lot, too. I really ought to get them a bigger one, because they don’t really fit there anymore, but I’m so attached! holleyberry replied to your photo “(part three) “Night night, little bean. How about you don’t come...”

Good daddies are sexy.

They sure are. :) Good mommies are too! ;) holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Also...Yay! More JRO!

holleyberry replied to your post “Okay, so story posts. It’s been a while. I have quite a bit ready for...”

Should have scrolled down a bit more

holleyberry replied to your photoset “(part one) “Aww, look. Isn’t he sweet?” “Yeah, and the baby’s pretty...”

I'm hoping a reblog means an update soon!

I’m glad you were so enthusiastic about the update. It made me smile. :)

And one anon ask that goes with this topic, too...

                                                                                                                              Anonymous said:                                                                     

i don't get it, why did ripp get offened? why do they have a sleeping schedule (erm,,, is it a sleeping or a sex schedule?)? i have been scrolling your tumblr for a while but couldn't find anything :C            

My response:

JRO have six children and four relationships to balance. There's most likely going to be some scheduling involved. Some might leave things to chance and inclination, but many people in polyamorous relationships do this. There's a lot of communication and often a lot of intentionality. This is, of course, different for every relationship(s). But even couples do this, especially once children come into the picture.

I don't imagine JRO started out that organized, but as children came along, and in the interest of fairness, this was the system that worked for them. They do leave room for spontaneity and flexibility, as illustrated by R leaving J&O to themselves even though it was unplanned. Of course, he also becomes jealous, but those sorts of things will invariably pop up too (and are not always logical), which brings us back to communication.

It’s a sleep schedule, yes. :P But woohoo often goes along with that. But then again, often it doesn’t. They're certainly not doing that every single night of the week. Well, maybe Ripp would be. haha.
