Cringe warning: very bad Esperanto.
Mi povas mergi min en Esperanto čar mi ne faris multe da progreso ekde 2019. Mi kredas mi komencis lerni en 2019, sed mi rezignis dum (por?) unua jaro. Mi rezignis la hispana, la franca, la japana kaj la irlandano čar… nu, estas evidente kial. Tro da lingvoj lerni (por lerni? Lerni sentas malgxuste.)
Sed, mi restis kun la Esperanto(n?) čar gxi estas facila. Mi volas lerni lingvon por la sakeo (that’s… is that seriously the word? Sakeo? I joked once that Esperanto is 80% English words with -o and the end and 15% other languages with o- at the end, but I digress) de lerni lingvon. Homoj diras ke tio estas malbono kialo, sed, kial? Estas amuza… ne estas krimo amuziĝi.
Honeste, mi estis (estis for ‘have been?’ doesn’t feel right…) uzi Google Translate por helpi min, sed ne por lambastono. nur por kontroli se mia gramatiko estas bona. Ne estas, evidente, sed… mi estas nesekura pri gramatiko. Mi scias ke gxi ne estas bona, sed gxi estas probable pli bona ol mi sed mi ne uzis gxin.
Cxiuokaze… mi havas punkton kun ĉi tio; estas malfacila mergi en konlang! Jes, mi povus aligxi servilo de Discord, sed… la embaraso. Mi estus kiel, “Bonvolu… mi estas…” kaj havas furzo de cerba! Cerba furzo? (Googling how to stutter in Esperanto. Great.) (also I’m realising I said bonvolu instead of… oh my god? Am I seriously forgetting hello? Oh, Saluton!)
Cxu mi probable lernu la lingvon de miaj lando, la irlandano? Probable, sed honeste? Neniu parolas la irlandano en la nordo. Ili apenaŭ en la sudo. (Ne estas sude, mi ne zorgas se Google translate diras alie… ne sentas gxusta.)
Cxu mi havas punkto kun cxi tio? Ne. Sed, hej, diras al mi kiel CLAPPED mia Esperanto estas. Kaj, jes, mi eĉ ne provis traduki clapped cxar gxi estas pli amuza al ne.
Mi estas tiel malbona pri Esperanto. Mi devas fidi al tradukistoj por helpo. Mi uzas Google Translate por helpi kun tempoj kaj gramatikoj, sed la vortoj estas plejparte el mia cerbo, se tio havas sencon.
Mi ne havas kialon pri ĉi tio. Mi supozas, ke ĉi tio estas testo de miaj kapabloj. La rezultoj? Tre malbona, sed, hej, mi afiŝos ĉi tio, ĉiuokaze.
Edit: after writing this post, I got an easy, actually video about languages recommended… lol

Wait wait idea time!
Unlikely friends Soren and Mia…
Specifically I am thinking about my witchfest (modern with magic) Tellius AU that continues to take up primary residence in my brain.
(Rambly thoughts below)
At first they only hang out because they’re both friends with Ike. Soren is Ike’s best friend, and Mia was part of the same co-ed baseball team in middle school, alongside Ike, Boyd, and Nephenee.
At first Soren only barely tolerates her. She’s less bearable than Nephenee, true, but at least she’s not as bad as Boyd. Soren and Boyd really don’t get along. And Mia is similar to Boyd: big-mouthed, thick-headed, overly competitive, all too eager to share their (often incorrect) opinions… all things that annoy Soren.
Worse than Boyd, even, is that Mia actually attempts to bond with Soren— in her rough-and-tumble teasing as a form of affection way. And Soren immediately mistrusts anyone who attempts to curry favor with him.
But unlike Boyd, Mia has her moments of… uncanny intuition. Soren doesn’t know what to make of it at first. She seems oblivious to anyone and anything that doesn’t involve her (highly limited) interests, and yet without warning she will occasionally read a person so accurately that even Soren (keenly observant for trauma reasons) finds himself begrudgingly impressed.
It starts with Nephenee. She’s a shy girl who keeps to herself. Mia is determined to be friends with her, but Nephenee is a hard nut to crack. Eventually, however, Mia’s persistence pays off.
And then enters Calil. She’s an upperclassman, super popular and fashion-forward. It’s by happenstance that she decides that Nephenee will become her personal project— transforming a country bumpkin into a princess. Nephenee’s protests fall on deaf ears, and soon enough Nephenee stops protesting at all.
Soren only has to see the two girls interact once to understand: Nephenee fancies Calil. Hmm, he thinks, and then files it away in the recesses of his brain. Nephenee is like him. She is also crushing on a same-gender friend.
Not that Nephenee herself seems to realize. Oh well. Soren supposes that she will figure it out eventually. It’s not his problem.
Time passes. Calil moves away, leaving Nephenee heartbroken for reasons she doesn’t understand. Mia takes it upon herself to cheer Nephenee up, inviting her out on various “adventures” around the small farming town where they all live. Its the sort of thing Mia would enjoy, not Nephenee, but surprisingly, it helps.
Soren points this out to Mia one day after school, as they all hang out in the Greil family’s backyard (the prime hangout spot for Ike and his friends.) He tells her that he’s surprised her hare-brained plan actually worked.
Mia takes his statement of fact as an affectionate tease. “Well I had to do something,” she says. “I heard the first heartbreak is the worst.”
It is then that Soren realizes he is not the only one who noticed Nephenee’s crush.
Soren is astounded. Romance is far from Mia’s limited scope of interests. Even as a teenager, she wrinkles her nose at romcoms and has, for as long as Soren has known her, never shown any romantic interest in anyone. On his mental list of girls who are potential threats (as in, those who could theoretically steal Ike’s heart and thus destroy Soren’s fragile fantasy of them someday falling in love), Mia lands down at the bottom, just above Nephenee.
Time passes. Soren almost forgets that time Mia correctly identified another person’s feelings.
Elincia comes to visit one summer, as she often does. Soren simmers with silent loathing. Elincia is an old friend to Ike, her father a friend of Ike’s father, and she is everything Soren is not: kind, friendly, beautiful, a girl. It is clear Elincia has feelings for Ike.
Ike, as always, remains oblivious. He treasures Elincia’s friendship. He allows her to hang on his arm.
Soren simmers, but it all remains hidden. He is cordial with Elincia, or at least as cordial as Soren is with anyone who isn’t Ike or his family. He swallows his jealousy. He does not stare with abject longing when Elincia touches his arm.
It is Mia, of all people, who sees through it all.
At one moment, when the jealousy becomes too thick to choke back, Soren finds a deserted spot for himself.
Mia finds him, sits beside him.
“Oof,” she says. “Hang in there, Soren. Elincia will be going back home tomorrow.”
And Soren realizes. Nephenee is not the only person Mia has seen. And Soren does not like being seen. Defensive, he tells her to go away, to mind her own business, that he doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Somehow, Mia can see he means it. She walks away.
When Elincia leaves and he is thinking more clearly, Soren confronts Mia. He admits her assumptions may have been correct, and asks her how long she’s suspected.
“Oh, I just knew,” she says. “It’s funny, I don’t care about romance at all. I really don’t get it. I’ve never felt that way for another person, and I don’t think I want to. But I can tell when other people do. I don’t know how, and I can’t explain it. It’s just like— oh, I don’t know. A gut feeling, maybe?”
“Huh,” Soren says. And that is that.
And somehow they become friends… sort of. They talk and text, sometimes, even without Ike being in the picture. It’s strange. Mia mostly teases him a lot.
But sometimes (and only sometimes) Soren will tease her back.

MIA HI DEAR ! i hope ur doing well hun! the infamous dears truly have a vice grip on me rn ty ty so much !!!!!!! 🌸✨💕
-`. DETAILS ABOUT OCS.

the darling lila is a maverick (an unorthodox or independent-minded person), rather astute (having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one’s advantage), and alluring (powerfully and mysteriously attractive or fascinating; seductive.) !
💘: what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them?
lizzie lovelace a pop princess caliber face in music, and a former romantic partner of her fathers along with jazzy, together make the dynamic duo that keep lila centered and the first people who hear anything and everything before anyone else on her life. jazzy was actually the first person she met in middle school following her relocation to new york from new orleans (and before that ! paris! her parents loved to move places on whims sajnxka) and save for the BOTB have been inseparable ever since ! she was then introduced to rowan through jazzy and the trio with lizzie have been her anchor since as well! her partner in crime and the go to to cure her bad days! she can be a lot but they truly have her best interest at heart something she didnt have from her parents and for that they mean the world!
AND OF COURSE TEEHEE GRIFFIN REIGN BEFORE AND CERTAINLY WILL BE SOMEONE WHO AND THIS REALIZATION WILL HIT MISS LILIA LIKE A TRUCK WILL MEAN SOMETHING NONE SHORT OF THE WORLD TO HER TEEHEEHEHE *giggling kicking feet*
🍰: when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?
her birthday is april 19th, 1997 and she is 26! lilia is an aries sun, a libra moon and a leo rising! i would say the card i most align with her is the death card in reversal at her best and upright at her worst. mars would be her ruling planet and her ruling number would be 1! she veeery identifies closely with a very much amount of the traits belonging to her sun and moon and rising ! especially her moon and rising but also a lot of her sun sign as well!
❤: what are three of your oc's positive traits?
lucinde known by her stage name "lucy less" (formerly lucinde lawless to match sevens but she shortened it following their breakup :') ) is felicific (relating to or promoting increased happiness), captivating (capable of attracting and holding interest; charming.), and wistful (having or showing a feeling of vague or regretful longing) !!!!!

seven. seven always will be and still is in spite of the way things ended. she still carries a torch for him these years following and from a distance wishes him well. (if you hear sobbing its me!) the close second and she tells him he's the first would be her brother! he too has a band of his own and is the drummer for an experimental noise rock outfit. OF COURSE there's rowan the remedy to all her bad days wizard in making her smile the best thing since sliced bread and her best friend. and iris who shes been friends with since they were in pre-k, devyn, orion (she had a "secret" crush on him that he probably knew but didn't tell her to save her from the embarrasment that he knew kjsndak), and of course the fans of her band MALWARES (formerly error 404 i just thought it sounded cute!) !
🍰: when is your oc's birthday? how old are they? what are their sun, moon, & rising signs (if known)? what about their tarot card, ruling planet, & ruling number (if known)? do they fit the typical traits of these sun, moon, & rising signs?
lucys birthday is november 11th, 1997 and she is 26! shes a scorpio sun, sagittarius moon and aquarius rising! the world is the card in tarot that i think i love the most for her. and her ruling planet would be pluto and her ruling number would be 2! on stage she is the archetypal scorpio and off there is so much of her sign she relates to! along with her moon and rising as well that she closely relates!
