As much as I adore conlangs, I really like how the Imperial Radch books handle language. The book is entirely in English but you're constantly aware that you're reading a "translation," both of the Radchaai language Breq speaks as default, and also the various other languages she encounters. We don't hear the words but we hear her fretting about terms of address (the beloathed gendering on Nilt) and concepts that do or don't translate (Awn switching out of Radchaai when she needs a language where "citizen," "civilized," and "Radchaai person" aren't all the same word) and noting people's registers and accents. The snatches of lyrics we hear don't scan or rhyme--even, and this is what sells it to me, the real-world songs with English lyrics, which get the same "literal translation" style as everything else--because we aren't hearing the actual words, we're hearing Breq's understanding of what they mean. I think it's a cool way to acknowledge linguistic complexity and some of the difficulties of multilingual/multicultural communication, which of course becomes a larger theme when we get to the plot with the Presgar Translators.

When Mutual #1 doesn't have their name in their bio, and you have no idea what their real name is. Then on some random Tuesday, Mutual #2 reblogs something from Mutual #1 and uses Mutual #1's real name in the tags, and you're like *le gasp* so that's the prophetic name... the name of names... the mutual's name...

Lost-Life (LoL for short)

Standard 3rd life rules (mostly)

In the middle of the map is a giant trial-chamber esq. labyrinth, with baller loot and even potentially an item that could grant the person who eats(?) it an extra life. The over world is perfectly normal, aside from the dungeon, which doesn’t expand beyond the edges of the center biome so that people can still naturally gather ores and base like normal Minecraft.

Bonus, Tango isn’t a player, being replaced by DocM77 or someone else, while Tango is actually some manner of super-boss at the bottom of the dungeon.

DUNGEON BOSS TANGO 🔥🔥🔥
