i wanna try and help figure out some words (haver of not good handwriting here) but unfortunately i have a bunch of homework to do. so i'll spread the word.
tomorrow's the anniversary of this being written tho lol
I usually can figure out most cursive handwriting after a while, but this is beyond my comprehension. My students also pointed out the utter lack of punctuation.
I will give an honorary Archives Gold Star to anyone who can transcribe it!

i just mentally do this to myself after big decisions and every interaction ever
im doing great 👍
imagine the overthinkers if we had the “(name) will remember that” from minecraft story mode in real life. oh my god and “your story is changing” literally about ur life.. the stress would be REAL
#like not going to that party? your story is changing in the sense that some dialogue references things you weren't there for#choosing to study instead of sleep? your story is changing in the sense that all dialogue options are now slightly more negative#staying silent when being lectured? so and so will remember that#it's a very accurate depiction tbh#mcsm#minecraft story mode

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR PPL TO POINT THIS OUT TY
Like the crossover potential here??? Lizzie potentially dies in episode 6, BigB was imprisoned for like beating the Admin in some game or something before episode 3 lf season 2, and it doesn't get used as much as it should.
Also yes, the entirety of episode 8 is so real.
(i really need to get more life series lore and help out this movement lol)
minecraft story mode is killing me. The fact that BigB and Lizzie are characters. The "Winter Is Coming" achievement. The entirety of episode eight. am I just adhd or is this the life series
#some major crossover potential here y'all#let us join forces and love our silly block people#trafficblr#life series#traffic smp#life series smp#life smp#bigbst4tz2#bigbstatz#ldshadowlady#mcsm#minecraft story mode#minecraft#mcyt

It was recommended to me (and my whole class) by a teacher of mine in 6th grade. She was amazing, and I do sincerely miss her. It did help me bond with some of the girls in my grade, though. We'd sit out on the sidewalk during lunch (Southern CA), and discuss the books and our favorite ships. It was really awesome. I miss 2019.
Comment on how you got into Keeper Of The Lost Cities
I first got into the series after the Heroes of Olympus ended and I had started high school. I wanted a new series to read and this was the most interesting one I saw. I didn’t think I was going to be as obsessed with these books like how I am with the Percy Jackson series but hERE I AM A YEAR LATER AND I’M JUST AS OBSESSED WITH THIS SERIES AS I WAS WITH THAT ONE.

Arcane Newswatch - Day 879
Today marks the one year anniversary of Arcane Newswatch, which admittedly has little to do with Arcane itself and a lot to do with our staff’s collective concerns with our mental fortitude when we think of how many more days there are left to count
This has been Arcane Newswatch

THE 'ENLIGHTENED SCRIPT'
Warning: This will end up becoming a VERY LONG post. Also it turned out to be vaguely academically phrased — so warning for language too formal for how not-normal I am about this
Disclaimer:
This isn't for the 'actual' Enlightened Language — only to write stuff out in English with a different set of symbols in art (or, let's be honest, just for fun).
I have no proper knowledge of how to make scripts (such as if there are any common conventions to follow). If anything here offends you in terms of its accuracy or correctness, please don't come at me with pitchforks :)
I've done my best to make this explanation simple and thorough, but obviously there may be things that I have forgotten to mention (or things that I've perhaps not even considered). If you want clarification on anything or just have questions about the script, asks are welcome! (any discussion of the script will be tagged '#the enlightened script')
If you wish to use this script, feel free to do so! (I only request that you credit me (@/worldsunlikemyown) if you do). I would prefer it that you do not repost this to other social media sites, but if you do, please credit me clearly.
Introduction
The term 'Enlightened Script' (ES from now on) is technically a misnomer, because we know nothing about the Enlightened Language (EL from now on) and thus cannot make a script 'for' it. This script is, however, built upon the little we know about the aesthetic appearance of the actual script of EL, and contains the same twenty-six letters as the Latin Alphabet. It is made primarily for use in writing Modern English (it contains no diacritics, and will thus have little utility for writing in many other languages that use the Latin Alphabet). ES can be used to simulate the actual writing of EL, and represent this simulation in art and inscriptions where desired.
The Enlightened Script
This script has been designed with a view to the aesthetic of the actual script for EL, modelled somewhat from the unreliable example of Vespera's signature. It features heavy use of curls for this reason in the alphabet, with numerals and punctuation marked out by their relative lack of curls and embellishments. Note that symbols may vary from example to example in some small ways, as they are hand-written. If you wish to write ES in any of its forms, follow the general form of symbols from the three examples below).

LETTERS
PUNCTUATION
(yes, I'll explain the square-bracketed symbols later)
NUMERALS
Modern ES
'Modern' ES refers to the version of ES that would be used in the modern day by elves and the other Intelligent Species in their daily writing — what we might call the 'normal' version. It is written with the same writing conventions as English, keeping the same spelling and orientation (left to right, then top to bottom). For example:
Here in the top-right of the image, the word 'suldreen' (chosen because it is the only real EL word we know) has been transcribed into Modern ES. It can be seen that the letters have been written out without joining or cursive elements in the manner of an English word. In the bottom half of the page is a quote: 'No reason to worry' (yes I used an Alden quote — it'll be easier to remember and was the first typical Keeper thing I thought of). This has also been written out in keeping with the conventions of writing in English.
NOTE ON PUNCTUATION: You will notice that in the PUNCTUATION section, some forms have been given in red square brackets. These are to be used for Modern ES (such as the colon represented in the image above, as well as the dash in the example). The version of the form outside of the red square brackets is to be used for Traditional ES. Symbols with no variant form remain the same in both versions of ES.
Traditional ES
Traditional ES is the oldest version of ES currently in use. It is the 'old' writing of the elves, which is used in the modern day mostly for adding a sense of grandeur to the atmosphere through its use on signboards, meaning that only its display version, which will be in the next section, is still well-known. I shall explain the proper form of Traditional ES first, however, because it is commonly used by the Ancients and as a basis for many of the codes and ciphers of the Elven world.
You may have noticed in the LETTERS section that the vowels (a, e, i, o, u) of ES are represented by symbols that open to the left, while the consonants are represented by symbols that open to the right. This is a 'remnant' (hush I don't know how to model change in writing systems and besides this is a simulation) of the system of Traditional ES, shown below.
Here is the word 'suldreen' again, transcribed in Traditional ES. The change in orientation is at once apparent, for Traditional ES, unlike Modern ES, is written from top to bottom, then from right to left. As seen in this example, letters branch out from a trunk that forms the word, with each letter's connection to the trunk referred to as a branch. Consonants are written on the right of the trunk, and vowels are written on the left, resulting in all symbols opening outwards. The topmost branch on a trunk is to be read first.
An example of longer text in Traditional ES:
Note that the punctuation orientation for the quotation marks has changed, and now uses the symbols given outside the red brackets. The question-mark remains unchanged, and is written in the same way in both Modern ES and Traditional ES (along with the comma, full-stop/period and exclamation-mark symbols). The sentence starts on the right, and the second line is the next one to the left, which is to be read from the top again.
Signboards in ES
The use of Traditional ES in the modern day remains mostly limited to signboards. To write on a signboard, a line of Traditional ES is, so to speak, rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise, with the vowels now written on the bottom of a horizontal trunk, and the consonants written on top. It is read from left to right, then top to bottom if applicable (perhaps this may have influenced the left to right orientation of Modern ES). An example below:
The word written in the examples above is 'Everglen', first given in standard Traditional ES, then in the signboard version. In terms of the appearance of this 'signboard version' to elves, it would be read by Ancients as a vertical sign in English is read by us (see the right of the image). To most modern elves, it would simply register as an archaic version of their script, with no particular orientation difference observed.
Numerals and Mathematical Operations in ES
In-universe, the base-ten place-value system was (in my HEADCANON, and I cannot stress this enough) brought to the humans by elves. The writing of their numerals, as may be noted, has some similarities with Roman numerals (which in-universe, the Romans would have learned — again, only as a plausible headcanon — from elves). I have created the numerals to be written somewhat like Roman numerals (with the combination of symbols — I'm not sure of the right term for it). Operations are conducted in the same was as in the base-ten place-value system we use. For example:
In the example on the left (which reads 'Book 9.5'), it can be seen that numerals in Modern ES are written with the same orientation as the letters, with an un-filled dot representing the decimal point. The same applies to Traditional ES, but there is no trunk for numerals (just as there is no trunk for punctuation).
Operations have always been done with a horizontal orientation. Addition, subtraction and multiplication operations are done as shown in the middle-right of the image. The only thing drastically different from our own method of carrying out these operations is that the operation symbol is always to be put in a circle. The same applies to division, which is shown on the far-right. Fractions are written as shown bottom-right. (I don't know about special numbers and stuff okay let's pretend elves can't do math or just use the human symbols and say we got them from elves)
Handwritten examples (for a better understanding of sizing and possibly nicer-looking symbols) have been given under the cut, along with explanations and some interesting notes.
MODERN
TRADITIONAL
Note that the trunks for Traditional ES have been marked on each line. For numerals and punctuation, the portion of a line on which they are written will not be 'dashed through'.
Notes:
It is possible to 'reverse' Traditional ES to read from left to right by using mirror-forms of the letters, resulting in the vowels written on and opening to the right, and the consonants written on and opening to the left. Punctuation may or may not be used.
Modern ES could be 'reversed' in any of the many ways things written in the Latin Alphabet can be 'reversed' (one of these was likely used by Jolie for her mirror-written diary. Do with that as you will).
