#OSLAE

I finally drew my jwcc oc into chaos theory!! :3 // based off the quote/saying; "People tend to cut their hair after traumatic experiences." // Kipper H. Wilson!!!

[kallmekathy]

so I kinda made a short Lil comic...

I have no clue how to make comics and it looks bad but whatever.

[velaraffricate]

so I've been working on my latest conlang, irkan osla (or just osla for short), for a bit now and would like to showcase its writing system in this post! osla has a syllabic alphabet, not too dissimilar to korean hangul, where letters are stacked according to certain rules to make syllable blocks.

osla's syllable structure is (C)(C)V(V)(C), here's how the stacks work for each type of syllable:

all letters have small, wide, and tall forms depending on their position in the syllable. here are all the letters with their IPA value and romanization:

and here's an example text! i translated parts of the minecraft end poem into osla. maybe i'll make another post just focusing on the grammar when it's more developed. the poem says in english:

What did this player dream? This player dreamed of sunlight and trees. Of fire and water. It dreamed it created. And it dreamed it destroyed. It dreamed it hunted, and was hunted. It dreamed of shelter.

Does it know that we love it? That the universe is kind? Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes.

this post is getting long, so under the cut you'll find a "sans-serif" version as well as the poem in osla and its gloss if you're also a linguistics nerd and wanna know what's going on under the hood (the roman numerals stand for the 3 noun classes)! thanks for reading!

The way regular people would write something quickly on a piece of paper with a regular pen is an aspect of creating neographies that I feel is often overlooked, so I developed this sans-serif version that people would probably be more likely to use when writing their shopping lists or diary entries:

And, finally, here's the poem translation:

My god, Maurice tried to tear off Bruno's arm before?!

Peppino: Yes. I think the guys talked about it...or not, I don’t remember. But do you know why he tried to do this? Because you see, he doesn’t understand what Bruno is saying. Imagine, we don’t understand him either, but that doesn’t mean we have to tear our hand off for it.

Show me the best moment between Alex and Miles for you

Hello Anon ! Thanks for your ask ! It’s really really hard to just pick one moment !

Can I choose two? Please? Oops, I'm cheating 😈

And my two favourites are : the hug at øYafestivalen and the gaze at Primavera Sound.

The first one : - The Primavera Gaze [Primavera Sound, Spain 3-06-2016]

First of all, Miles moves closer to Alex to press his head against his as they usually do.

but Alex prefers to move even closer to glue his forehead instead. Look at his smile! He is happy! Really happy! Miles then takes the opportunity to rub his nose against Alex's (a very friendly thing 😏)

and now, they seem to have totally forgotten the audience. They are both in their own bubble.

Alex bends him over, looking into his eyes. Very intensely.

He doesn't blink! Licks his lips!

And, oh my, Miles moving slowly up and down. I don't know why but I think it's super hot

and you can see Miles' lips trembling, as they always do when they're a hair's breadth away from Alex's 😏

That moment was so sweet and intense at the same time. It was perfection!

-The Hug at øYafestivalen [øYafestivalen, Osla, Norway 10-08-2016]

This moment is pure sweetness! First Alex touches him tenderly and then brings him gently against him

Miles looks completely overwhelmed 😅 Alex hugs him tightly, burying his face in his neck and putting his arm around him

"Hold me" 🥰 Alex looks like he needs that hug badly! You can't even see his face anymore!!

*deep sigh* They are too cute together. Real soulmates ❤

translation of the first verse from gliese 710 by king gizzard! almost every verb here is in the imperative mood, which posed a bit of a challenge. in irkan osla, unlike in english, the imperative declines based on number - either first person plural, or second person singular or plural. i went for 1PL because I thought it sounded almost like a sort of battlecry and less like a literal command, but the others would work too depending on your interpretation of the lyrics. i also decided to translate 'lava' as 'fire-river', since i don't think this culture would be familiar with active volcanoes.

melt the ice reheat the dead terraform the planet compress the lungs eat the mushroom cool the lava watch the new star dance upon the night sky
