The Huddle | Inside

Toki Pona | Prolangs

Toki Pona is a character based off of a constructed language of the same name. So, to make this less confusing. Toki Pona = the character toki pona = the language

•the simple design of just two colors, a basic yet expressive mouth, the use of simple shapes and lines, and arms hidden under their clothing do a great job of reflecting toki pona’s emphasis on minimalism as a conlang onto Toki Pona’s character design.

•The little lines on Toki Pona’s hat don’t just make Toki Pona’s character more recognizable, but (to me) look like “emitters” which are a type of radical that make up some toki pona logograms, further linking Toki Pona as a character to toki pona as a conlang.

•also, the hat and scarf are just really cool and the symbol on Toki Pona’s chest is cute but also says the words “toki pona”.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

P.S.

learn toki pona, it has the word “pipi” in it

Laios Touden | Delicious in Dungeon

Star Nemesis (Fiddlesticks) | League of Legends

*Spoiler Warning*

This specific incarnation of fiddlesticks is from an AU called "Star Guardians" that's essentially like madoka magica / sailor moon with magical girls and whatnot. Star Nemesis Fiddlesticks was actually once a girl named Harp who was on the original team of Star Guardians !!

Giotto | Katekyo Hitman Reborn

he has everything. suit. shiny things. flame. fire. nice color palette. he looks incredibly stylish.

Willis | Awful Hospital

He looks like the circle of Willis found inside the human body but anthropomorphized just enough to look like a little guy! It’s so cute!!

Yaoshi, Aeon of Abundance | Honkai: Star Rail

"The flowers share their petals without care, waiting for their inevitable withering destiny. The birds fly high in song, moving toward their inevitable crash and death. The streams flow rapidly with life, in a direction where they inevitably run dry. Why must all things come to an end? There must be a miracle somewhere in the universe that can cure the disease known as finality." — Life Is Too Short by Anonymous Ask with sentiment, and you shall receive. Yaoshi is the nurturer of the people, the god of peace. THEIR presence ensures the existence of life. Yaoshi is an Aeon who answers all prayers and cannot bear to see death and the pains of illness.

Volapük gets tired of being treated like a punchline by languages like Esperanto, who considers him to be mere gibberish. Instead of eroding his own soul to conform to the other auxlangs' parochial and oppressive standards, he embraces the rejection he faces, manifesting in a form different from human.

Also, people kept misreading "voidpunk" as "Volapük", and I thought it would be funny to combine.

!!silly smurfs ocs!!

Be warned, most of them look a little funky because I have yet to learn how to draw smurfs properly!! Any constructive criticism is appreciated <33

Gloomy Smurf

She uses she/her pronouns and is a trans lesbian. She has a very negative outlook on life and always speculates the worst case scenario in every situation. She can often be seen sighing and complaining about lots of stuff.

Apathy Smurf

He uses he/him pronouns but doesn't really care if he's referred with other ones. He's unlabled. Like his name suggests, he feels little next to nothing. He has a similar backstory to Grouchy: but instead of being bit by a buzz fly, he was put under the spell of Chlorhydis' ice wand and wasn't able to fully recover from it. There's a chance he may have has a crush for Grouchy, but he feels too little to be able to tell. When asked an opinion, he often replies with "I don't really care". His stoic behavior makes him seem rude, but he's actually a docile individual that usually does what he's asked to do without question.

Language Smurf

He uses he/him pronouns and is aroace. He is quite literally the living representation of the smurf language, hence his name,,,although only Papa Smurf knows about that. He's a crossover OC (Smurfs + Prolangs). He's also besties with Poet Smurf weheheh.

Massager Smurf

He uses he/him pronouns and he's gay. He's super calm and reliable, and he smells like hospital and lavender. He's besties with Gloomy and even helped her accept herself for who she is.

!!BONUS!!

my personal interpretation of Hundredth Smurf!!

He uses he/him and he's gay. He also goes by Mirror Smurf, Mirror Vanity, and Modesty Smurf (I will mostly use the latter). The flowers on his hat are hyacinths, to contrast Vanity's daisy (daisies represent innocence and cheerfulness whereas hyacinths represent sadness and grief). His personality is mostly opposite to Vanity's, therefore he's mostly extremely modest, perhaps even slightly insecure.
