the original scene (starting at approximately 54:37 and ending at 58:44)

as with my previous translation, in case you're seeing this post and have not seen or heard of the guy who didn't like musicals (which could be likely, seeing as I'm posting this under the toki pona tag), the scene I've translated above is in the video linked below for reference.

a group is working to get sitelen pona in unicode!

a group has recently come together to figure out what sitelen pona in Unicode would look like.

they are figuring out how people use sitelen pona and are working very hard to figure out what words and glyphs people are using.

when this is done, they’re going to work on the proposal. it’s probably going to need a lot of revisions, and this will take a lot of time. probably years!

i feel great for the future. use sitelen pona!

(i am in this group but i’m using they because i do not want to speak on behalf of it.)

Intro Post / pana open

(toki pona li lon anpa)

Okay so. I thought maybe making an intro post might be a good idea, but I have no idea what I'm doing, so I analysed the intro posts of some of the blogs I follow and I'll try to do something similar.

Hi! My name is Rosalind, (she/her, though they is fine too i guess)

Between struggling with uni, I sometimes make music. I'll try to post most of it here. I play the saxophone, clarinet and piano. If you hear any other instruments in my music, I used a sampler. Right now I'm mainly focusing on Jazz, though a lot of my music really isn't that. I don't know what genre I'd label it as.

I also worldbuild quite a bit, which includes conlanging. I really love linguistics, but I'm very much an amateur. I might post some worldbuilding or conlanging related stuff here and there.

I don't expect to post any programming related stuff here, but hey, it might happen.

This blog is supposed to be a more of an "artist-like" sideblog, about the things I create, but I also have a personal blog where I mostly just reblog things I like: @bbmymo

So, you can expect music, worldbuilding, conlanging and very amateur linguistics from this blog. I will post very infrequently.

Last things to say: feel free to ask about anything, if you think something here is wrong or poorly done please let me know.

I will try to post in English and toki pona, but I'll see how that goes for me, I am still very much new to the language. If my toki pona translations are bad or could be improved, please rub it in my face

[adhdo5]

Hello Glycerin Adhdo5 please share your Spore lore. I am intriqued by the spore lore. Hi.

OK so the first thing you gotta know is that all three of these are the daughters of the Unreaper, the save I had that I have apparently completely lost in the reset and had never published to Sporepedia. I am still pondering what this means diegetically for all of them but it's relevant

The Unreaper were my first experiment into the Murder Herbivore – they were a Harmony empire but a completely unearned one. They also had the traits of strangely oriented arms, deer antlers, and their starfarer foremost the Omnipotent had a strong penchant for throwing herself repeatedly into war, forgoing assembling a fleet and abusing her respawn mechanic to one-man terrorize worlds

(Translation under cut)

The Harp is a Zealot empire of antlered, winged pack hunters. The Harpy have gone red-red-green-green and as a species have had a long, long history of being fucking annoying. The mechanics of their pack dynamics are not well understood and the Harp is not forthcoming, but those packs/flocks/swarms have uncanny capability to coordinate (especially for the sake of mobbing some motherfucker), and no individual Harpy has been documented very extensively – their recording of history is deeply collectivist, and individual Harpy do not usually have names or stable epithets. They are somewhat oddballs among the Way of Spode – they lack many of the hardliner tendencies and have only erratically and mostly superficially adopted the Galactic standard practices of Spode, even having different practices around prosletyzation, as enthusiastic as they are about it – the Harp places almost no value on prosletyzation as beneficial to the recipient but instead treats convincing and being convinced as a ritual act in and of itself.

Some of the Harp's oddnesses are best exemplified in the Taking, the intervention that ended the Amahani-Aepox war. The Amahani Empire was the Harp's first interstellar contact, and was also a theocracy under Spode – the Amahani Empire and the Harp were close allies for a long time, and when the Amahani began to lose the conflict with the Aepox, the Harp was a frontline negotiator, and freely welcomed refugees. Eventually, though, the Amahani were pushed back to their home world, and followed there. The Harp officially annexed the remains of the Amahani rather than let them be destroyed – via induction of planet-wide religious frenzy by way of the Zealot superweapon.

In the time since, Harpy delegations sent to mend relations after that breach of the Galactic code have integrated extremely effectively, especially in Chance empires.

The Ikka'vetu, the First Step Unto the Land, are omnivores with much less pack definition than the New Transcendent and certainly than the Harp. I am going to say more about them later but basically they are also a Harmony empire which annoys me bc I wanted them to be Life rn I am going to TTRPG

The Empire of New Transcendence are my longest save and a weird one. They didn't come from one guy but two – after meeting a hostile creature, my herbivorous guys developed a symbiotic bond with an in-game Maxis-created creature that was much more statted for attack. The Senta (me-created) and the Kakuta (this is derived from "Kowkutter" which is the name of the Spore creatures in question but that isn't a diegetic name in The Lore) proceeded to develop side by side as a societal unit under the banner of New Transcendence. They r for all intents and purposes one society. New Transcendence is a Harmony empire, and does as such very much value The Significance Of All Life In The Universe, but being a Spore empire, they are not, despite this, antiviolent.

The infrastructure this society does build produces the crew of the Great Star of New Transcendence. They are a very expected bunch, consisting of the commonplace unit of Senta and Kakuta and also coming very much From Power. Releasing a bunch of very questionable graduates into space proceeds to cause several problems as pride and greed immediately show themselves as core motivators with more than one fatal result. But their pride too is affected by the Harmony philosophy – they dabble eventually in uplifting the Flowerdrifter Fairies... who come into their own as a Force empire and proceed to demand the eradication of another empire. The Great Star, which is functionally a warlord merc, initially accepts the bribe – but the reason is a new low of petty and unjustifiable, and the rush of completion immediately gives way to horror not just at this but at all the terrorism and murder they'd committed before. Shaken, the Great Star commits to a vow of peace.

[I have translated this post, because it's about the blog itself.]

Everyone, hello! I want to share my good feelings with you! This blog is a place for me to not use English. Myself, I know toki pona, a little Dutch, and some conlangs I made myself.

I originally came from reddit. Before, I thought "hey, reddit is pretty good. I have a good place here!" But then, reddit went a bit crazy!! Anything they did not like, they [the admins of reddit] removed. They remove everything! I thought, this is crazy and sucks, it sucks a LOT. I hate it.

However! I've now come to this place, Tumblr [I spell it as "Tumepula"]. Hello hello hello!

I am hoping that, here, I will be able to find my own kind of "ma pona" [literally "good place", you can translate this as "cosy lil niche" in this context!]. Also, hopefully my toki pona will improve over time!

glibc now has a toki pona locale!

i sent a patch with locale information to glibc, and it got committed today! it'll find its way into the next release.

with this, many Linuxes can understand locale formatting for toki pona.

additionally now that it has a locale, many Linux programs will be able to identify toki pona as a language, and furthermore, this allows many more programs to be able to be translated into toki pona.
