The hero of wars (8/9)

[bayleafpaprika]

thinking about how Oda chosing Luffy, a pirate, to be the protagonist of One Piece may be one of the most brilliant story moves by any shonen mangaka ever. by virtue of its main character being an in-world criminal, OP naturally lends itself to becoming a story about the exposure of a society festering with corruption for what it really is, and the dismantling of a dystopia and its propagandist facade. you simply do not get a story like that with a shonen protagonist who conforms to or tolerates the shitty system they're born into

Hey hello. Consider. Hobie reading over and suggesting edits to drafts of Peter's writing and then going home visually with clippings and quotes from said writing as a part of him. Alternately, Peter takes inspiration from quotes visible on Hobie

heart on your sleeve…..

Realistically speaking, in a Hunger Games Stranger Things au, Jonathan Byers would be Katniss Everdeen.

the fionna and cake hype got me going back to all the western cartoons I liked back in 2016 and it's like,,, why did i ever stop. love is stored in the little soft drawings of fun adventures that mesmerizingly transform into an overarching narrative.

My brain is literally trying to think of anyone else but them yet they keep on coming so i just gave into the demons and made an AU (not official designs rn cause i basically was just playing with the premise of it)

Idk what to call whatever this is yet but i'm thinking of like The millionth au or sum

Idk clear explaination maybe???

basically it's where scarab gets jailtime for his crimes as god auditor(karma be fr) and is trapped in a room with a red button

everytime scarab presses the button there would co-exist with him another version of himself in the same room but with a different occurrence in the realm of possibility

in that possibility i'm planning to make the millionth version of himself(illustrated above) into more like sentience, and that he feels and acts like a different person once the button itself could not replicate his persona anymore or the button itself creates a randomized sentience out of the blue after the duplication since there's basically no law and order of space and time inside those rooms(kinda like that boxmann brain thing)

then Prismo tries to save him from his eternal loop of punishment by trying to hop from every possibility and room he could hop in to try and find scarab's one true sentience while also bringing the millionth version of his partner with him as more of like a clue to help him with finding the right room

Upon entering the Millionth's room to get to his goal, Prismo acts and dresses up as an angel or some kind of guidance to the millionth so that he could decieve him to follow and help him throughout his search for Scarab's true sentience. He can't state his real identity directly since it may cause the other gods to catch on what he's onto, he's basically trying to get Scarab out of enternal punishment(jailbreak baby)

He contemplated in why the hell he would break Scarab outta jail cause he's already heard of the atrocities Scarab did to other gods and kinda deals with the thought like he wants to throw it off and say "nah im not gonna help him", then again, he's attached to him cause of their time together during scarab's internship, he clearly gave in and tried to save him from eternal punishment either way.

okay thats all for my unbelievably long rant idk if someone would actually find this interesting but im up for all interpretations of this stuff

what does your blog title mean

Assuming you mean "The Universe As A Causal Set"? Think in the near decade I've had this title you're one of the first to ask lmao... it's the title of appendix C from this paper that I find as an interesting theoretical cosmological model as well as a framing that i think is quite colorful as a demonstration for the awe-some scope of Cosmology as an epistemological project

Uni 'A' has begun! Today we were introduced to data structures, and the teacher's accent was so heavy I zoned out too many times T-T

Planning on doing a pre-read before her class so it's more of a recall session rather than learning it new.

Things I did today:

Recalled basics of C programming on a sheet of paper

Light reading on introduction to data structures

Created a new template for my digital planner

@studaxy and I had a very productive 40 minutes :D

The days ahead look bright :)

🎧I Know Places - Taylor Swift

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:
