#or syllables or whatever

i thought we could beat the storm, but the ambulance spun off the road.

trying to keep you alive and my head up above water wasn’t anything I ever planned for.

they were supposed to help me but all they did was laugh, even long after we’d crashed.

i knew I wasn’t a priority, i’d been told that for months.

that was the way it was supposed to be— you before me— but they didn’t listen to my pleas.

instead they laughed. and then they left me.

i had useless keys and an alphabet of bruises and one more of the dead and no one to call and the crippling knowledge that help wasn’t coming.

More notes for Roach conlanging. Roach has grammatical gender, in which only Male, Female, and Object are grammatical genders, whereas Worker uses feminine grammar, Queen and King use a slight variant on feminine grammar, and Drone, and Queen-Alate use masculine grammar. This is because King is derived from Queen, due to their similar positions in a colony, and Queen-Alate is derived from Drone, as both are forms of alate.

Queen is an alteration of feminine grammar that functionally just adds a handful of extra syllables to it, and King is an offsprout of Queen that uses the same grammar with different pronouns. Queen-Alate, despite the name, is derived from Drone, as they are both for referring to different types of alate ant.

Most Roach dialects are intelligible to speakers of Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach, but Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach is not entirely intelligable to speakers of Roach dialects due to a mix of the excessively specialized vocabulary caused by the specific needs of its speakers, the fact that its speakers do not necessarily have Roach mouthparts and thus may not pronounce syllables in a similar way, and due to the fact that Inanimate Object is a full grammatical gender that does not exist in any other dialect of roach and replaces a decent chunk of terminology for things that previously had Other Words For Them.

Needed to refresh myself after all those customs by making a bust of one of my own guys (adopted from @indig0trolls) who I haven't introduced yet :]

Her name's Zaezva, she's an art teacher at the House of Restoration! Which I decided long before getting this animation instructor job, so that's a fun coincidence.

She takes most things in stride and likes to enjoy the little things. Very chill, very friendly, very silly. Fond of bad puns and iced mochas :)

took a break from fun outfits because i was possessed by the urge to draw dbz concept: Son Gogo the second I came to the realization that Goku and Chi-Chi having a third child after already being grandparents was perfectly reasonable, actually. And that that happening would be so funny (at least to me)

and while i was at it took the opportunity to workshop some teen Pan and Bulla for fun (plus a shoutout to @smuby 's designs, because they're great and were at minimum a subconscious form of inspiration (especially re: Bulla inheriting her dad's awful hair)

Is Celia and Sam's ship name really ripsam? It sounds like we're saying Sam is dead

It's the one I came up with and I think it's funny so I keep using it. And he's dead because the sheer presence of Hot Lady killed him thank you for coming to my ted talk

"bluhh don't use a thesaurus for your writing" actually a thesaurus is a great resource, esp if you have an extensive vocabulary but can't remember any of it. like I know a lot of words they're just buried beneath all the Stupid

gosh okay if it's okay can i leave some extremely persistent brainyakus for babyyakus.... like obv you can just leave this or post or just share w whoever you want i'm just some dudegirl clanging pots and pans in your boxes but! i have always loved the idea of like...... baby yakumo being taught some form of sign language (Klein Sign if u will allow the goofery) bc the mouth shapes and tongue movements of the spoken language are hard for him to grasp even with full immersion and support!!!! i also think he would have some anxiety actually using his voice bc Y'know. It's Yakumo. he does eventually become more comfortable with verbal speech ofc but oh my god i am losing my mind at (baby yakumo voice) pep-per......... once again thank you mxr requiodile for my god life. and truly what are pigs but big potatoes....... ONION OWWIES..........

my last spam i will leave u with is also! ever since i unlocked homecoming ssr yakumo and it's dropped that he made his own ceremonial clothing i became OBSESSED w the idea of grandma taking babkumo to The Crafting Circle of the village. maybe he needed a bit more immersion into human spaces before he started school so he's just cowering in grandmas lap while she's knitting and mending but slowly he starts just like wandering around, looking at all the things happening with all the crafters just letting this uncanny child gaze in wonder over all the comfort items and soft blankets and warm clothes being made. and then there's at least one giant ass loom and those things are HUGE and make a lot of clacking noises. babkumo inching closer to it but doing these big scared jumps every time it makes noise but he's just so O.O like this giant scary thing makes such nice things!!! he's been wrapped in scarves fresh off this thing!!! and then whoever is working the loom pushing the shuttle through and just patiently waiting for yakumo to very tentatively push it back toward them. tbh i don't even really think that's great weaving technique but idc we are socializing this yokai via fibers and stich-n-bitch. thank you again for the generosity and enthusiasm ;w;

i am leaving this here for everyone to see because i like it and i want to show it
