#but I'm pretty sure I did

[strixcattus]

I'm just poking through some of my abandoned conlang stuff, and aside from the evil English spelling reform I devised last year, the one that really piques my interest is this conlang, almost immediately abandoned after creating it, called... I can't tell whether it's supposed to be styled SheizeN or sheizeN. It looks like it was intended to have a syllabary with two characters reserved for coda consonants, so I'm not sure why such styling was necessary... but I'll give it to past me, it looks really cool.

(After Googling the name to see if it happened to mean anything somewhere, the only entry that was spelled the same came from Urban Dictionary. Apparently it's also somewhat similar to a vulgar word in German.)

So sheizeN has a couple odd features. I'm pretty sure it arose from my finding a list of bad conlang ideas and deciding to play with a couple of them. For one, verbs are preceded by a word which agrees with "tense, aspect, and absolutive class" and denotes whether the absolutive argument deserves what is happening to it (or, if the verb is negated, whether it would have deserved what would have happened if the verb wasn't negated).

(There's also a perplexing plural suffix that references a verb suffix that in turn references the class ergative suffix, like some sort of phonological ouroboros, and I swear it can only end in stacking the same suffix on top of itself, which can't be legal.)

SheizeN also has a noun class system. Each of its thirteen noun classes is based on a Dungeons and Dragons class, and they actually seem to work pretty well. For instance, the Bard class encompasses all art forms and related words, Druid encompasses plants, fungi, and animals not covered by other classes, Paladin encompasses abstract qualities and forms of speech, and so on. Nouns are formed by combining a short root with a prefix for the class, so the same root can belong to multiple words that may be thematically similar in some way, but have very different meanings.

I'd like to share one of these with you, out of the six words I ever created for sheizeN. The word for "prince" is shoko, a Fighter-class word (Weapons, beasts of burden, and humans not otherwise specified) with the prefix sho- and the root -ko. With me so far? Good.

The root -ko happens to be included in two other words. One of these is the Paladin-class word sheiko, meaning "honor." Tangentially related, I suppose. It does make a sort of sense.

Then we have the third -ko word. This one is a Ranger-class noun—which encompasses people and animals that stalk some sort of prey. The translation of this word isn't as clear-cut as the other two—it's listed as "one searching for something abstract."

So, what is this word?

The prefix for Ranger-class nouns happens to be zu-. Which makes the word, well...

Zuko.

Please elaborate on your twst Pokémon headcannons I’m very interested

I had planned on drawing everyone for this (I made a LIST!) but it. hasn't been going well. 💀 soooo here's what I have so far!

Riddle - Roserade (I was going with 'no legendaries', otherwise I would've given him a Shaymin) (and I don't think Togedemaru is actually a hedgehog or I would've given him one of those too) (...they kind of do fit though. hmm.)

Trey - Alcremie (clover/mint cream + strawberry/ruby cream)

Cater - DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD! DITTO SQUAD!

Ace - Impidimp (I feel like there's probably a better one for him, but I can't think of it)

Deuce - Scraggy (meanwhile I KNOW deep in my heart that this is true)

Leona - Pyroar (but like. a nasty Pyroar. just a grizzly old Pyroar with the shittiest attitude imaginable. they pretend to hate each other but secretly they are a bonded pair, do not separate)

idk if i'm just a joyless feminist buzzkill or something but i find the instareels/tiktok trend of joking about "when the workday starts feeling like women fighting for equal work was a mistake" "women in the past fought for equal opportunities and now i have to go in the office when i could be staying home to cook 🙄" so DEEPLY unfunny. leaving aside that housewives work equally hard it's just unpaid, also leaving aside how the idea that women never worked and just tended the home is ahistorical--Women's financial independence is a joke to you? Women being able to choose their own life path instead of being forced to rely on men for survival is funny? Go talk to a woman who couldn't leave her abusive husband because she had no work history and no way of financially supporting herself and I think you'll find it significantly less amusing.

shiv's motivations for voting to pass the gojo deal are so layered and i don't think they should be dismissed in favour of any one interpretation. shiv desperately grabbed on to a lifeline for her relationship with tom. shiv was the deciding vote and she couldn't bear to hold the crown only for a moment just to place it atop her brother's head. shiv knew she would have more influence as wife of CEO rather than sister of CEO. shiv absolutely hated seeing kendall crystallize into logan before her eyes, especially when he made roman bleed ("and if we did kill him we get to go to bed") -- succession has always been about siblings so of course she tried to free her brothers before her child. shiv still thinks she can raise her child with all the material benefits of being the daughter of waystar CEO while doing better by her, whatever that means. and all of those things are true

♪ blue's theme - ALL OF THEM (mostly)

mr. character development's tangible rehab from a stupidly evil power hungry bastard who has committed treason against every country to an idiot pacifist with a zebra print fedora, a moped and a license to teach yoga

( note: the 'mostly' comes from two things; one, the very very first version of this song sucked, and two, there are versions that are mostly identical )

Chara Week Day 5: Ghost

Every time I see that machine in the True Lab, I wonder if it could possibly be Chara's soul in there? Probably unlikely, but not impossible... It's interesting to think about what the implications of that would be.

A version with no text and then a version with just the machine, because I think it looks pretty cool and ominous alone as well.....

So I haven't had the opportunity to watch Deadpool 3 and won't have it for quite a bit however going by what I hear about the movie from the people of Tumblr

I can't help but think of this one time me and my mom were watching the hedgehogs that like to come to our yard to steal cat food

And my mom said "hey, come look two of them are fighting... Hmmm. they're fighting kind of oddly". to which I just looked at her and said "mum, I don't think they're fighting... I think they're fucking" they were not in fact fighting

Anyway that's the vibe I'm getting from the way you're describing the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie did I get it right??

Recently had a silly Handplates dream where Papyrus was trying to snoop around Gaster and Alphys’ lab, but didn’t know who Alphys was and so was trying to pass it off as his own lab lol (Patreon)

Redraw of the cape post, because that entire concept deserved better than the illustration I gave it.

another one that I'm not super happy with, but continuing to mess with it isn't going to help! so here he is! 🦇 there was a lot I was trying to get across in this one, so uhhhhh hopefully it reads.

we're almost out of unique magics now...just Ace (and maybe Grim?) left!

I'm quite convinced Draco uses half of his time staring at Harry like this and wondering how he can be so dumb (he loves it and knows they'll smash later so he won't complain)
