when your grammar accidentally transfers

That ol’ chart of mine makes the rounds online periodically and it drives me crazy because it’s frankly not very good. So, I finally got around to remaking it.

I doubt this will get anywhere near as popular, but I wanted to make it.

Good reference for animation, comics, and for visualizing phonetics!

kind of obsessed with the conlang invented by 12th century composer and mystic hildegard von bingen. she called it lingua ignota and just sort of never explained why it exists or what it’s for? like. girl. why did you do this

in case you're wondering what was up with her, like, in general, she was an abbess who was (1) politically influential, (2) chronically ill, and (3) plagued by visions.

but like seriously girl WHAT was the conlang for. TELL ME

Dear Animator vs Animation fandom, for a long time I've kept my silence, but I feel as if I must speak out:

That is not the pen tool. That is the pencil tool.

The pencil is what Orange uses anytime he draws.

This

is the pen tool.

They are different. It's not like real life, where pencils and pens serve basically the same function in different capacities and are interchangeable if you know what you're doing with them. Digital pencil tools and digital pen tools do very different things and serve very different purposes.

As far as basic use, the digital paintbrush would make a far better substitute for the digital pencil than the pen would.

Forgive me folks but if I see one more otherwise-phenomenal post calling the pencil a pen I'm gonna riot, this has been allowed to go on for way too long y'all are too good to be brought down by a detail like this.

image description applying to all images: pictures of a small (a7) booklet featuring two birds, one green and one orange, talking to eachother, photographed in front of some plants and garden tiles. end ID.

i'd already made some art of this post by @jennythebot but the image it conjured in my mind was so delightful to me i decided to make a whole zine. this is my first printed zine! new skill unlocked!

in conclusion:

birds appreciate my tiny photographs! why is nobody talking about this?

"muitos anos a virar frangos" 2023

this one's my favorite.

"muitos anos a virar frangos" translates roughly to "many years spent turning chickens". it references chicken grilling.

it is a very, very portuguese way to express one's experience or mastery over something. it is used often as a brag and in an humorous way, sometimes sarcastically.

this illustration is part of "quem fala assim não é mudo" - "he who speaks like this isn't mute", my first solo exhibition, where i illustrate typical portuguese sayings and expressions.

this is the last of the collection. if you got this far, thank you for reading! i hope you enjoyed it!

F is for Fugol (Old English for bird)

While the Modern English word "fowl" refers to birds of the order Galliformes, the Old English "fugol" could refer to any bird. This is an example of semantic narrowing, where the meaning of a word becomes less general overtime.

been working on this a lot lately

world building is so fun y'all qwq

...

i wanted qaiyeul to look similar to korean at first glance, but different the longer you look at it. i don't want people to look at it and think "That's a fictional language", i want people to look at it and think "Which country is this from?"

i have to redo the lore sheet for the language since the letters used to look different @~@

apologies for the lack of context, im kinda stupid n still figuring all this stuff out
