(This is kinda dark so proceed with caution, talk about death and corpses there is also a bit of gore)

Okay so what if einjari could shift into their dead bodies?? Like an illusion

So like imagine you’re fighting Magnus and all of a sudden you look up and instead of seeing just Magnus you see his waterlogged torn apart zombified half burnt up corpse (like walking dead style) I feel like that’s be a totally fucked up initmidation tactic for fighting, to paralyze your opponent with fear.

-fighting Alex and he turns to his corpse that’s ripped to shreds from wolves

-Magnus is waterlogged and burnt up with half his torso being gone

-Mallory is covered in burns and half her skin is missing

- tj is rotting and covered with bullet holes

Etc etc

Idk I feel like that’d be really cool

(Like this but they can still do everything they could in their living form just hella creepy)

The Ts'íts'àsh (Firish) Language from Elemental

Ìf báì!

Jessie Sams (@quothalinguist) and I created a language for Pixar's latest film Elemental. We created both a spoken language and writing system that are used in spots throughout the film. It's out today, so if you watch it, see if you can spot any of it! We had a lot of fun creating a language the requested "sound like fire". A tough thing to do with a human mouth, but we had some fun with it! Some language highlights:

Ejective consonants

No nasals

Fricative nuclei

Fluid (ha, ha) case system

Glyphs that resemble braziers

If you check it out, we hope you enjoy it!

do you have any tips on writing riddlish ? I love the way you do it but I'm struggling so hard whenever I want to write it (⁠´⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠ω⁠°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥⁠｀⁠)

oh!!!!!!!! what a wonderful wonderful question!!!! i adore writing riddlish and thank you so much for your kind words about my interpretation of it, first and Foremost!!!

there are lots of ways to go about writing riddlish. i favour the "traditional" way if you will, of rhyming couplets, but i know others who have written riddlish with no rhyme scheme at all! however, i always found that the structure of rhyming couplets gives a good guideline to the sentence.

there is actually an official book on how to write riddlish that i have a physical copy of (though i dont have it with me at the moment :{ and i am struggling to find a digital version of it). if i recall correctly, the explanation of riddlish translation given in the book is that you take any regular degular sentence - say, "today i will go for a walk" - and just replace each of the words with either a synonym or approximation of the nature of the word. "Today" might become "present sunlight" or "now-ish hours" (there's a bonus tip! adding a suffix like -ish, -ness or -ful to a word always makes it read more carrollian, i find). "Go" might become "pass" or "make a way". "Walk" might become "path" or "two-legged advance". You can deconstruct the word as much or as little as you like and get super abstract if you would like the riddlish to be more indecipherable!!

fitting the sentence into the right rhyme and rhythm of a couplet can take some smooshing of the grammar and word choice, but i think thats a defining factor of riddlish! it gives it its whimsy! do not be afraid of it.

so for example, a fairly straightforward riddlish translation of "today i will go for a walk" might go something like "in now-ish hours there makes a chance / for passes and paths, a two-legged advance".

thats a fairly logistical breakdown, but my two most earnest pieces of advice for writing riddlish would be to keep your thesaurus close at hand, and be silly with it!!!! riddlish is a language based on nonsense and smushing words together. it doesnt have to sound a certain way. good luck to you !!!

@suppose-i-was-worm A crooning song for this fic

“Please say you love me

Like my Mother once did

Like my Father tried daily

Like my Godfather said

When he begged me to stay

When he gave me my daughter

When he took her away

Oh please won’t you love me

Like the last of my fear

Like my sister who raised me

Like I did my parents

When the moon shone through my bedroom

When the shadows crept near

When they carved me wide open

With that knife from the kitchen

And sent me running

Through the fire

Through the shouts

Cuts and slashes

Poison in my veins

To a place

where the stars are all different

And no one loves me at all

But it all would be worth it

If only you see

If only, if maybe

You could love me”

(Edited. Further notes would be appreciated)

for my jackson and holt fans, funny story

it appears that i wrote a fic awhile back, like 2021, of what appears to be a silly take on freaky fusion, but focused solely on if jackson/holt was in the room with them when the machine sent the others to the past, and basically, jackson and holt split apart since the machine fused all the others together so it makes sense it would do the opposite for them, but they got caught up in this a few seconds too late and are now in 19th century london!, trying to navigate this crazy adventure together! but wait! it gets even more confusing when they come across the house of a man with a very familiar name..how exciting!!! (i know none of this makes sense but like, does it really need to? i mean, it's monster high for crying out loud, it's okay to get a bit goofy!!)

i might try to rewrite the whole thing at some point because it seems interesting and i can't believe i forgot all about writing it, but if anyone is interested i'd absolutely love to share a few parts i think are hilarious on their own <3 idk jackson and holt with a sibling dynamic is really fun, they care for each other but get on each other's nerves too and hijinks ensues

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.

Genetic Owlbeast Au

The Owl beast isn't a curse that Lilith gave her. It is a genetic curse that comes from their father's side

Which means Dell is an owlbeast along with his daughters.

Well as Lilith is a Ravenbeast and Eda an Owlbeast Dell is a Cardinalbeast 

Birdbeast family ♡

Lilith is the largest and Dell the smallest.

Anyways Gwen is a part of the beastkeeping coven still but not to cure them.

She just likes to work with beasts. 

Also you have to care for beasts to marry into a family of birdbeasts

Also it is less of a curse now in their eyes as generations have passed and they've gotten used to it.

They still unwillingly transform when stressed or upset but they also can transform on their own freewill

Partial transformations are also still a thing.

Literally the only thing that has changed is there is more freewill and there is no 2nd entity with them

Idk if this will be important as I just type my thoughts down but the Clawthornes are related to the Wittebanes

Caleb's wife was cursed with this birdbeast curse. She also was a Cardinalbeast.

Oh also I named his wife Ariane [Nickname Aria]

Why are the Clawthornes cursed? 

The wife's grandmother was a adventurer who got cursed on an adventure

So still not The Boiling Isles magic

-+-+- 

Okay so they all still have their own rooms and 'actual' beds to sleep in. Also to hang out with friends.

They do have a room with a very large nest for the whole family to cuddle in.

I do even mean when they are fully grown.

Eda and Lilith did make their own nests in their closets when they were 10.

Also Eda and Lilith [technically Dell too] as toddlers were adorable. Their owl forms were the size of German Shepherd puppies.

With the age difference Lilith was also slightly bigger. Then she became fully grown and 4× the size of Eda

Also toddler birdbeasts are not to be trusted as they are more acting on instincts then logical thoughts.

Lilith bit Eda for the first time when Eda was a week old. Lilith wasn't doing it to be mean she wanted to play.

This also means lots of cuddles between the sisters growing up.

The sisters as they grew up started to shift from being in mostly birdbeast form to witch form.

Also Lilith was the one who stayed in witch form more often because of her constant studying.

Dell whenever he could would play with his daughters in their beast forms. It was just good all around for everyone.

Dell also stays in witch form more often because he loves working with his hands and his job in general 

Dell sadly still got injured by Eda in an accident. Eda was chilling in her beast form and got spooked by him. Which caused her to take his eye out.

Don't worry he didn't let her run away. For long at least. He found her and hugged her and explained he is fine and when she tried to say she ruined his life he just told her she didn't.

It did take awhile for them to get better. She did injure her father but he also explained he is fine.

His hand is fine and he technically can still carve; he just needed to learn to compensate for a missing eye.

He still decided to plant Palisman trees though and craves normal wood trinkets.

Eda and Lilith have necklaces their dad made them. 

He also made Gwen a wooded flower for her. She loved it. She gave him a gem.

Gwen also loves her daughters. She loves brushing her fingers through their feathers. 

She also loves showing off her scars she has gotten from playing with her daughters as children.

As I said they bit a lot as kids. Also scratches. This is a recipe for small scars.

[I've owned German Shepherd puppies and let me tell you they bite a ton]

Gwen also wanted to dress them up in their beast forms but they kept getting destroyed. Especially by Eda. They just didn't like clothes in beast form as it is too restricting.

Gwen is an adventurer at heart and loves to tell her daughters of her adventures.

Also idk if I still want her to be anti potions as it seems like that derived from Eda's curse in canon but it would be funny if she still was anti potions.

Hmm yeah no she is Anti Potions

Dell isn't though so don't worry. This is something they argue on.

Dell and Gwen are the couple who sleep in separate rooms because they just cannot sleep in the same room.

Dell loves heavy blankets and the soft. Gwen loves thin blankets and neither soft nor rough. Also Gwen snores.

They can sleep in the nest because of her big, soft husband. Also no blankets needed.

Anyway the portal was still found by Eda when she ran away for awhile after hurting Dell. 

He told her if she was going to keep going into the human realm she should learn about it first.

She sighed about it but she did do it. That is because Lilith loves to learn so she just joined in on the human realm learning.

Oh Lilith and Edna's relationship is better than in canon at this point. Like she is still envious of Eda but she isn't cursing her sister because Eda just told her she wanted to join to be with her and that she was going to forfeit.

So yeah Lilth. Sibling issues are there. Mommy issues are still a thing. Daddy issues none… well a tiny bit.

Dell did a good job at showing his kids equal attention.

I am slightly bashing Gwen but it is kinda normal for parents to pick favorites. They just cannot show it like Gwen did in canon and here [even if ever so slightly less so] in this universe I made.

Eda also has mommy issues from her paying too much attention to her. 

You think an adventurer would understand the feeling of needing to be free but she didn't get the memo for Eda.

[Pausing 5/31/2022][Continued 6/1/2022]

Eda runs off to the human realm often and sometimes brings Lilith.

They get stuff from the human realm that they do bring back.

They [Mostly Lilith] went to the library to learn about human history 

That also means they have seen the Wittebanes Statues. Which you know are their ancestors in this au 

A thing I decided is that they know that 2 humans came and not just Philip. I know in canon they only knew Philip but I just don't want Caleb forgotten by his family.

Most people still think only one human came though. Gwen did too until she married into the family.

They have no real reason to keep it a secret. They just want too.

They do have pretty comprehensive knowledge of their family history.

So Lilith and Eda finding out their however many greats grandfather's history in a library was exciting. 

They knew he was human but to find more stuff on him even if a bit scattered.

Also more info on their however many greats uncle. Also excited to learn about their mostly unknown uncle.

Well until decades later when they find out he is Belos and is trying to kill their entire species. 

At least they can help Luz with their amazing knowledge of those 2 dudes who came to the Boiling Isles in the 1600s.

Moving on, Dell tried to teach his daughters how to crave. Both are great at carving. 

Lilith still joined the Emperor's Coven while Eda still joined no coven. Lily wouldn't betray her sister though.

Knowing how to crave is actually how they earned money in the human realm to buy anything they wanted too.

Eda does still steal. Mostly for fun but sometimes she and Lilith bird instincts just go "mine" so they just take it.

Lilith says she has control. Just know she is a big ol' liar. She has no control.

Also Eda got her wanting to care for everyone from Dell.

He also if he could would care for every child he could. Also animals which is why Gwen adores him.

Whenever King gets found Eda immediately adopts him compared to in canon where he decides he wants to be adopted into her family.

This is because she is closer with her family and trusts them.

She also explains to King much earlier than in canon that he is indeed a child. Just a tiny baby who may be the child of some type of powerful beast.

Eda just tells him he is still a tiny king. Also because he is the first grandchild he gets lots of everything.

This may be controversial but Eda and Raine are not married. Shock and Horror I know. 

It is just that they don't want to marry. They are still monogamous and love each other. Just they don't want marriage.

They still did a ceremony for the Clawthornes. Just for a get together.

Also, Raine is still going to be a coven head and it wouldn't be a great idea for them to be married to a very wanted criminal. 

Raine does know the family history also because again not married but still together forever.

However it took Eda forever to tell them. A decade and a half to tell her partner.

Love Eda but sometimes issues are just built in. She does get some help with her issues if you are wondering.

Lilith didn't inherit the need to adopt almost every living thing to be her child. She inherited it in the way to adopt niblings.

Eda is slightly amused and slightly worried

Stopping here for now.

It’s a sunny day in Gotham, one of three they’ve had all year, and Bruce has been bullied by his doctor to go outside and get some sun. He’s slathering himself in sunscreen and is just about to finish up his face when he gets a text.:

Clark: JL meeting at 3PM Tuesday. Luthor is active again :(

Bruce: ✓ Seen 8:27 AM

Mind spinning about what Luthor could be up to, Bruce puts his phone down and dives into the pool.

—

The next morning, Bruce wakes up with his nose feeling strange. He examines it in the mirror and sees it’s lobster red. He never finished applying the sunscreen.

Bruce: Hn

Damian: Father. You look like a fool.

—

By Tuesday, Bruce’s nose is peeling. He shrugs it off and heads to the meeting. Once they’ve all settled down, he realizes his cowl is irritating his nose. Since the attendees are only Diana, Barry, Hal, J’onn, and Clark, he pulls the cowl off so he can concentrate.

Clark, finishing up his points on Luthor’s latest scheme: Any questions?

Hal: I’ve got one. Spooky, how come your nose is all white and flaky?

Bruce, flipping through his mental Rolodex of responses: Hn.

Hal: What, do you have that white nose fungus syndrome that bats get? Lol.

Bruce, stopping his mental Rolodex at Gain Sympathy:

Bruce: Are you treating me unfairly due to my medical condition?

Hal: What?

Bruce: Clark, is this workplace harassment?

Clark: Hal. :(

Hal: But he’s always…????!!! He’s… a BAT?!

Clark: Hal, I’m going have to report this to HR :/
