While i work I've been listening to an LP of the Telltale Walking Dead Games (the ones with clementine, I do not care about the others lmao). Ages ago when I played these I was well aware/amused that part of season 2 takes place in Parker's Crossroads/Parker's Run because I grew up right next to it and the detail stood out to me.
But I never caught the line of "We'll head to parker's run. It's just up the road from here" until just right now. So I had a sort of "wait, where the fuck are they supposed to be right now?" (search)
ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO
So by process of elimination, since it's the only city with anything even remotely resembling a large home supply store, that would mean they're in my literal hometown. My tiny hometown in the middle of nowhere that's never in anything that barely anyone knows of.
How in the fuck lmao

mild spoilers for the latest episode but
we have so much potential for extended family shenanigans now. occam is d's almost-ex-husband and remold's beloved nephew??? how long were they married? were they all banished because of the divorce?? who is remold's grandchild, and is it somehow through slackjaw?
and that's not even touching on the millennia-long family rivalry, which makes the whole occam-d marriage even funnier. occam and slackjaw are somehow cousins, which means that technically slackjaw and marckus were step-cousins while occam and d were married???
i'll be honest, just thinking of the wedding cracks me up. remold presumably trying not to beat up his beloved nephew's new husband, while slackjaw and marckus were either horrified that they were now related and/or actively trying to murder each other via words and drinking during all of this.

The new sonic screwdriver has been shown and it looks to have circular gallifreyan on it, I tried to translate it but got nothing, but I also just am not great at translating it. I figured you’d be the one to ask, can you find any actual words on Ncuti’s new sonic? Or just what are your thoughts about the new sonic :3
Hi! So as you mentioned in your other message, the sonic screwdriver is supposed to say “the sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warriors”. However I’ve got other thoughts so I’m gonna do a bit of a vent anyway haha.
First things first, I say “supposed to” for a reason, because the phrase is missing all of the dot details that would make it legible per the Sherman’s Gallifreyan system, and it’s chock full of typos. The orientation of the words also differs, in that they’ve rotated every word slightly so the first letter is whatever’s closest to the outer edge of the screwdriver; in Sherman’s, the starting point doesn’t rotate like that.
Even accounting for the orientation change, the screwdriver currently reads “the tatpness fo the tongee befeets the tatpns fo the wat?iots”. Which….. lmfao.
So the net-net is that the BBC stole co-opted a fan’s system, and then used it wrong, even though there are literally people out there (like yours truly) who would jump at the chance to design an accurate and beautiful Gallifreyan piece for use on the show. For free even! For the sheer pleasure of adding “featured on the BBC” to my LinkedIn!
And all this because the BBC is too lazy to create their own consistent Gallifreyan system, but also too greedy to appropriately credit the artists whose work they’ve stolen for the show — artists plural! Sherman and Sirkles and who knows who else! — or to stop levying copyright strikes against other fans using Sherman’s fanmade system. When the BBC fully steals a fan’s work, it’s an easter egg, but when fans reference Doctor Who when making artwork in an unlicensed fanmade system, it’s theft of intellectual property? Make it make sense. (Spoiler: you can’t!)
I wish I could just feel overjoyed to see the fan community’s love for Doctor Who and interest in Gallifreyan incorporated into the show! In a different universe, this could be such a love letter between creator and fandom, a testament to the way that media and fandom weave together into something bigger than the sum of its parts. But in THIS universe, it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Hi there, love your BB AU! And lately, I've been curiously looking at Clanmew and how I would translate my OC's names.
I have a gal named Posystar, and I was wondering how 'posy' might be translated in Clanmew? Do they have a word for it, or a word similarly describing a small bunch of flowers?
I was also curious as to how I would translate her deputy Lotuswing, I know Lotus flowers aren't native to the UK, but is there a word that might similarly evoke the word?
Also, would cats know specific shades of colors? (My healer gal is Cobaltfreckle) Are there words for them? Or are they more generalized?
I noticed there wasn't a word for 'sting' in the lexicon? Then again maybe that's just me passing over it :) {For my man, Kestrelsting}
I also couldn't find a word for mimic (for my gal Tempestmimic)
Checking the lexicon there also isn't a word for borage, so I went to double check that it's native to the UK, but google wasn't being quite clear with me haha. (Boragedusk)
I couldn't find the word bristle either, but I'm not entirely sure whether or not the cats would have a word for that, nor could I find a word for back (as in a cat's back). (Blizzardback)
Looking up 'Junco birds' it says that they are very rare visitors to the UK, what would a good replacement for this prefix be? (For my bold lil kitty Juncopaw)
And last but not least, the boy himself, Mitzy Moo Moo. I'm not entirely sure how to go about translating his name? He's a former kittypet. Would his name stay the same, could he pick a translation? If he did keep his name would it be pronounced differently?
So sorry for the long ask! Feel free to ignore it :)
I'm obsessed with your project and love the work and care you have put into it!
Lots of new words here, let me try my best! For Cobaltfreckle, Juncopaw, and Lotuswing, dive into the Lexi and try to take a look at the colors, birds, and lilypad words! I also linked some asks there that may be helpful. There's also a word in there for clusters of tiny flowers.
New words time!
Posy/Bundle/A pack of dried herbs, typically for storage or traveling = Rushe
(Leaf + Dry)
A "Posy" as I know it is a bundle of dried, smelly flowers, based off the miasma theory hypothetical that posited that the basis of all sickness was "bad smells" and environments. So the closest translation here is probably a package of herbs!
Could also be used in the context of a "prescription." This is the bundle of herbs you will be taking-- one leaf a day, two leaves boiled at dawn and dusk, etc. These are still administered by the Cleric though.
Stung/Stinging/Will Sting = Kskaib/Kskai/Kska
The sharp pain of disinfection OR an aggressive insect attack-- can refer to biting or stabbing. The sharp, sudden pain is the most important part here.
Imitated/Imitating/Will Imitate = Shesapab/Shesapa/Shesap
A more positive association for mimic! This implies flattery, or an attempt to pick up a useful skill through observation. Owlstar picked up hunting skills from an owl through this. An apprentice is expected to do this with their mentor.
Bristle = Shech
A thick, stiff hair. Associated strongly with boars, but also some types of plant fibres pass beyond "needle" and arbitrarily become bristles, like the frayed end of a chewstick used to clean teeth.
Hackle = Chefaf
The especially long hairs that lay along a cat's spine, and stick straight up when the "hackles are raised." LOTS of words are used interchangeably with these to be poetic, including bristle (defensiveness), harmless thorn (bluster or bravado), or even tall grass (excitement/chills)
Hackled/Hackling/Will Hackle = Makekes/Makeke/Makek
The act of raising your hackles-- the line of fur down a cat's back! Instead of describing this very common action as "His hackles started to raise," they describe it as, "He was hackling."
