#writing scripts

[thelingering]

hmmm okay so in follow-up to my last post, there's another thing I've been up to this Lent: I made another silly phonetic writing script for English! (very long explanation below the cut)

so they way it works is: I sat down one say and was like, "Okay it's really easy to make something that works atrociously, but what about something at least somewhat helpful?", which led me to write out the alphabet and try to simplify it!

what I came up with is a couple definitive changes, that are thus:

1. Voicedness!

I decided that all voiced consonants were to be removed and replaced with their unvoiced relatives but with a little apostrophe mark above them to indicate their said voicedness :>

2. Vowels!

I realised that if English is to be made simple, that's essentially to say it's been made intuitive, so I wandered very rapidly into the problem of consonants being extremely straightforward, and vowels being equally as extremely not

my solution? was first to simply look up all vowel sounds and plot them accordingly, which resulted in the main 5 (diacriticless) corresponding to more or less their original short vowel sounds, with the inclusion of omega (Ω,ω) in representation of what the IPA denotes as an upside-down omega (hm i wonder why i chose omega XD), and the schwa!!!! oh how we love the schwa, it's the same both lowercase and uppercase

and so now that all the short vowels were mapped out, I moved onto the long sounds, to which I originally corresponded with doubled-up versions of the og vowels, to then be shorthanded into the original vowel with the upside-down triangle diacritic on top of them; The vowels themselves are a weeeee bit unintuitive to native English speakers, so they would take some getting used to *nod nod*

and then, those out of the way, I finished with diphthongs! these were relatively simple when I realised that in the IPA all diphthongs but one are a predetermined vowel sound paired with either and "i" or an "Ω", so I just used diacritics over the paired vowel to indicate as such! for the omega-paired vowels, a squiggle equivalent to the one in "��", and for the i-paired ones, a dot like a lowercase "i" is over them :D the one diacritic that didn't follow this pattern was, conveniently, an e paired with a schwa, so I just combined 'em into an o with a horizontal like through it lol

all in all, you have 7-ish short vowels that don't contain diacritics, 5 long vowel sounds that are marked with an angy-brow, and like 9 or so diphthongs that are almost unanimously marked with either a squiggle or a dot!

3. Little changes

I also took it upon myself to use an "m" marked as voiced to represent the letter "n", since they're both nasal consonants and I liked the compaction XD

and to represent "L" with the rhotic-consonant-voiced, since it can't be unvoiced and L is literally just some of the r-sounds pushed further into your alveolar

so! that's about it! this was delightful to think up one night, and I do use it sometimes when I'm making short notes on my whiteboard, so I can confirm there's somewhat of an air of intuitiveness surrounding it! I hope you all have enjoyed, and now enjoy the rest of your day :DD

Y’all cross your fingers because a script I wrote should be getting read this week by the owner of a production company!!!!!!!

Go to your Google Drive and check it out!

I was thinking "huh, neat. wonder what else they have."

And as it turns out, the answer is a lot.

But there's a lot more than that!!

Duke Thomas: What’s your biggest fear?

Jason Todd: That I’ll never be good enough for anyone.

Tim Drake: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.

Dick Grayson: Vampires.

Jason Todd: ...

Tim Drake: ...

Dick Grayson: I got turned into one once and nearly killed peoples. It's a bloodlust, you never know when you'll be fully quenched and every non-vampire is a succulent vessel... But I'm not a vampire anymore and that is in my past.

Dick eats his apple after that.

*silence*

Duke Thomas: Holy crap stick, Batman.

Tim: Can I change my option to Dick Grayson?

Jason: Same.

When I tell people they can simply shift with daydreaming and they hit me with "but I daydream all the time, why haven't I shifted?"

Because you perceive it as a daydream and not a actually reality you are living and experiencing.

If you are daydreaming and you are so focused on the fact you are "not there yet" or the fact you wish to be "actually" experiencing that daydream right now is the reason why you didn't shift through the daydreaming.

Shifting doesn't take much, and telling yourself otherwise is sabotaging yourself. Realise your dr is real and take it in. Immerse yourself in your dr and simply be there and don't overthink it.

oh yeah, i read papers all the time. i do a lot of research. right now, i’m researching about video games and american politics, but i’m rereading a source on writing skills. oh, what is it?

great question, let me show you

Life is about the ups and downs, not about perfection. To make your art authentic, accept and embrace damage and change, and the growth that comes after.

“As far as the police report goes, the “matter has been closed,” a spokesperson says. Gaiman’s career, meanwhile, has been marginally affected. A few pending adaptations of his novels and comics have been put on hold or cancelled. But the second season of The Sandman is set to premiere on Netflix this year, as is Anansi Boys on Amazon Prime.”

[and Good Omens starts filming later this month]

THAT’s why we should be boycotting him. That’s why we should be pressuring every studio and every actor to stop working with him. We can’t do anything about the judicial part, but his career should not have just been “marginally affected”; it should have crumbled to pieces.

Jason (crossing his arms with attitude): What are you going to do? I refuse to apologize.

Bruce stared at Jason in shock, and in his anger, he made a decision that every parent dreads.

Bruce (stern tone): You are grounded!

Jason (this is a whole adult, defiant): You can't ground me!

Bruce (firmly): Grounded!

Jason (shouting, confused): But I don't even live here!

Bruce turned Jason around and pointed to the stairs leading to his old room. Jason was too stunned to respond.

Bruce (stern, but calm): Tonight. Your room. Grounded!

Jason (stammering): I- I- Wait- This isn't fair!

Bruce (scolding parent voice): I'm very disappointed in you. Now go to your room. I'm only doing this because I care for you. Grounded.

Jason (face turning red with anger and sadness): This is some bullshit!

Jason stomped upstairs and slammed the door to his old room. The sound of random items being tossed around echoed through the house.

Bruce (indifferent): He'll work it out of his system. I'm going to bed.

Dick (looking at Tim, then Bruce as he heads upstairs): Did you just ground a 23-year-old?

Tim (surprised): And did it work?

Bruce: You forget I'm Batman.
