Coddish-Pelagic

Writing system developed on: Who knows. It's the Universe's language, not Enuode's
Current writing system: Mostly used in books, but can be inscribed into armor, tools, and weapons
Sound quality: Hard to describe. It's simple, but has lots of tonal inflictions that can make it difficult to understand
Grimlandic

Laog
National language of: The Lost Empire (technically)
Relative age: 6,000 years or so

Got tagged by @yilian0203 to share a snippet from my current WIP!
I can’t remember if I shared this before - it’s from a 3+1 (possibly turning into a 5+1, I’m side-eyeing it heavily) fic set in the Already Married series, from Lin Jing’s PoV:
"I cannot." Heipaoshi opened a portal and sent the prisoners through first, pausing with his back turned to them. Then he glanced back over his shoulder. "Give your husband my regards... and condolences."
Zhao Yunlan blinked, clearly taken off-guard. Pulling his lollipop out, he pointed what remained of the white stick at Heipaoshi.
"Whatever for?"
If Lin Jing didn't know better, he would've sworn the Black Cloaked Envoy was smirking under his hood, the corner of his mouth twisting up.
"For his taste in men."
Zhao Yunlan gasped, grasping his chest above his heart in theatrical offense.
"You wound me, Hei-laoge!"
"Hm," was all Heipaoshi said in response before stepping through the portal, leaving the stunned SID team behind.
tagging anyone who wants to play, like maybe @amethystina @sasamelons @elenothar @eirenical @ganglylimbs @kahnah23 @bumblewyn ?

WIP word search
Since I’ve been tagged by @the-marron, I am choosing to seach through the WIP we are working on together (also because it’s the only WIP that is long enough that I can reasonably search through it). Thank you, my dear, both for tagging and the permission to use our baby! I am, like, reasonably sure these were fragments were written by me. Like, 90% sure. Or 80%.
hair, heart, loss - loss doesn’t appear in the search, so I am replacing it with forlorn
hair
Zhao Yunlan spend the rest of the workday driving his team up the wall and eating lollipops while holed up inside his office. There were only so many tasks he could think of to get them out of his hair, and while proclaiming he would require all of the paperwork to be up to date at the end of the week was satisfying and fear-inducing, it was also unattainable goal; and as such did not do much to keep the most persistent ones out.
Which explained why half of his lollipop stash had been appropriate by Da Qing, who let himself in and was currently napping on one of the loveseats. Sometimes Zhao Yunlan wondered if the kid even had a spine, or if he simply was a medical marvel. Or a human-cat hybrid.
heart
Zhao Yunlan rolled his eyes theatrically, making sure his freeloaders knew what a sacrifice this was, then lit up the incense. The smoke rose in the air slowly, so vivid he couldn’t believe it wasn’t actually there; he swore he could even smell it.
“Welcome, PlayerOne,” an elegant voice behind him said. Zhao Yunlan didn’t startle this time, because he knew it would happen, but he still wished the hologram would appear before him. Did they want the players to die of a heart attack? “Do you require my assistance?”
“Hei-laoge!” Zhao Yunlan turned around with his best-winning smile. If Heipaoshi was Shen Wei, then it could work, right? Maybe if Shen Wei started trusting Yunlan enough he would admit where the hell he was hiding. “I thought you were the one who wanted my help?”
loss forlorn
Xiao Wei face did something – his eyes suddenly got wider, and then he looked down, blinking – that made him look so sad and forlorn that Zhao Yunlan regretted his words immediately. But – he really did need to speak with Da Qing, and somehow he wouldn’t feel, well, comfortable having this conversation in front of Xiao Wei.
The young ghost stepped aside, gently lifting Da Qing from the makeshift holder in his robes, where the lazy cat had apparently been sleeping, then bowed to Kunlun once again. And then he wandered further into the meadow, to the place where it turned into a line of trees, a little black figure walking alone into the darkness of forest.
I am tagging @dual-domination with some special words just for you: gun whip suit

Hello, Tumblr! I am incredibly excited to announce the start of my biggest project so far: Little Acts of Gratitude! It's a post-WW AU fancomic that follows a Ganondorf redemption-ish story set on the Great Sea, in which Link decides to defy fate right before the final duel and bring his sworn enemy back to the surface. But why? The comic explores the Triforce Trio and the world around them, in an attempt to solve the ancient mysteries and tie the loose ends. Suffice it to say, I have big, big plans for this story >:^з.
If you have access to desktop Tumblr, I recommend reading the comic that way, as you’ll be able to see a fancy blog theme with a comfy pagination and a banner for each chapter! But if not, there'll also be a dedicated pagination system for mobile users, like this:
(Page 0) next > last ▷
And now, FAQ/Disclaimer/whatever:
There’s no upload schedule planned as of now. I’ll try my best to aim for monthly updates and have at least a little backlog whenever possible, but more often than not I’ll probably upload the pages as soon as I am done with them. Also I’ll make sure to announce any major hiatuses if for some reason updates will take more time than planned. Just please don’t send any asks/DMs regarding this matter.
As a non-native English speaker, I’d greatly appreciate it if you guys pointed out any grammar mistakes I might make! This goes double for the instances of me using ASL for Link, as I don’t have any kind of experience with sign languages.
You may see the artifacts on the pages - this is the result of me Glazing them, just to see how that pans out. I'll... probably think of an option to show you guys the clean hi-res pages eventually.
For now, the comic will stay a Tumblr exclusive — but I am thinking of potentially crossposting it on other webcomic-hosting platforms! Once I amass a decent amount of pages and decide where exactly to upload them, I will provide links. As for the social media presence, I... don't really have anything other than Tumblr (except, well, iykyk), so no promises there.
And for, uh, legal purposes: the Legend of Zelda series belongs to Nintendo; I am not affiliated with them and do not claim ownership on anything other than the artwork itself. Not that they're currently going for fancomics, thankfully.
And... Thanks for taking time to read this! My lack of work ethics is my lifelong nemesis, but I hope that, despite everything, this comic will see the light of day, that I won’t stop working on it until I’m done, and that you will have a great time reading my silly little AU for a silly little vidyagame ✨!
