#Conlangity 5 My headcanon for Na'aqal, the language of Atalantis, is that it originated as a creole language. Originally Atalantis was connected to Europe/Africa via a land bridge, a LONG time ago, but over time the land bridge disappeared & various nomadic tribes were isolated on the island...🧵

#Conlangity 🫣 We have worked out that it may be too early (I do not have enough vocab yet) to determine a complex stressing structure but I'm tentatively sitting on two main rules: 1. Syllables containing long vowels & dipthongs will be stressed. 2. The h following a consonant forces a stress.

#Conlangity 4. On day 2, we saw the basic pronunciation of the Kraslan alphabet. However, as I implied, there’s still another layer to explore. That’s because vowels are divided into light (/a/, /i/, /o/) and heavy (/e/, /u/, /y/). While light vowels don’t change the sound 🧵 #ChroniclesOfTheRealms

Sharing alexander_collage_2.jpg for today's #LitHodgepodge. What hobby should Alexander pick up to avoid going stir-crazy while he's MEGA-GROUNDED in the countryside in 1661!?

Collage of various unhinged sketches of a blond, blue-eyed white boy dressed in aristocratic garb of the early 1660s: black fur hat with huge feathers, cape, falling band, short blue doublet worn open with silver embroidery and gold buttons, blue petticoat breeches, ribboned high-heel shoes or boots with lacy lining, golden rapier, lace-lined gloves, fuzzy golden baldric, and huge quantities of silver and pink ribbon everywhere. In all the various doodles his expression is usually some variant of Angry as he pouts, bites a man's leg, wields a rapier, flips the bird, and screams.

OUR CRIMSON CAGE is a Carmilla-inspired novella all about three women sucking blood and books in 19th Century Poland 📚 books2read.com/ourcrimsoncage ✒️ ladz-merch.square.site/product/-fir...

Background is a four-image grid with a woman with smeared blood, a statue touching its nipple, a red flower, and a woman bleeding out of her mouth

It might be the first time I’ve ever made anyone genuinely happy. She does not bite my nipple directly, but the delicate swell beside it. The pleasure that chases the pain of being bitten nearly overcomes the limits of coitus I thought I had found for myself. As she laps and sucks, blood sloshes within her cheeks. She follows with a soft press of her tongue, as if that will prevent wounding, but I hope I receive reminders of these sins I’m committing with her. Both of us are deplorable, but only one has been cast out from grace.

My blood stains her lips, and she offers me a grin so precious that I wish I could freeze it and cherish it until it is my own time to pass.

#Conlangity Ok, so, this was hard AND fun. Given that I started with some surnames based off of Yakut, I wanted to maintain at least the root sounds of it. Siefan is going to be vowel heavy (like the donor) with both short and long vowels that WILL change the meaning of words.

An IPA chart made for a fictional language referred to as Siefan.

Unfortunately this will be nightmare to convert into alt text, so I apologize for the mess that will follow this message (but I have copied and pasted the info from the chart).

Just as I began drumming my fingers on the railing, someone, Payne by the sound of his voice, called out from the bow, “Eyes starboard!”

“How many?”

“Um…four…no, maybe five?” Payne calls but didn’t sound sure and I frowned.

I looked towards him to gauge his position on the deck and where he was looking and called out, “Adeola.”

Our sharpshooter, a gorgeous lanky woman from Botswana, nodded once and sprinted through the rain to Payne’s side, raising her ridiculously long rifle and peering down its scope. A second later, she called, “Counting five. Maybe a killy an’ a half out.”

“Shot?” I inquired.

A beat, then Adeola replied, “Nah, no shot. They’ve people with ‘em.”

Beanie and I shared a glance. “Pitits?” I asked in response.

Another tense beat and Adeola called, “Nah, they look grown. One of ‘em’s carrying bags.”

“Delivery,” Beanie said, and I gave him a terse nod. They were early this year.

Screenshot showing a list of IPA symbols. The consonants are mostly the ones familiar to an English speaker, including both Th's, but there's no R. There is a tap-R, as well as both voiced and voiceless uvular fricatives.
The list of vowels is rather short and limited mostly to front and back sounds.

Every line of this is what we Albertans have been saying for years!
