hiiiii its been a while anywaysssss ive decided to take a crack solving trudys language again-
heres the canon symbols + a strong guess on M given the page context
H has me going fucking insane. its one of the canon letters in the story. and then yugo posted a singular trudy phrase which i have decoded below and. the H is different. but nothing else fits im going crazyyy. edit: i forgot theres capital letters. i remembered digraphs but not capitals. oops
i went through and found all the pages with trudys language [i mightve missed one but i think i got em all] and wrote the according letters over it- theyre all slightly transparent so u can see whats underneath.
edit 2: the 5 line character doesnt exist its an O variant. we know this bc trudys sign keeps the same characters throughout the book, and it has a clear O later on. also the sort of lightning shaped one resembles S slightly, making me think its Z as S and Z can produce similar sounds [same with B and V in spanish] 👍
um yea anyways ill let you get to it. if yall find anything / figure out anything new lmk!! ill add onto this w the new info :]
[Image ID: Four images in sequence, each containing a photo of a small pumpkin with a painting of Lady Trudy from the comic Be Kind My Neighbor on the front. In the first three pictures, there is about a paragraph of text around the photo in the cipher language from the comic, and the photo becomes steadily darker and more saturated. There is also a light chromatic aberration effect on the text in the third image. In the final image, there is a closer crop on the pumpkin photo, which is much darker and has a chromatic aberration effect, with a single line of text in the cipher language along the bottom of the image. End ID.]
i have a question about BKMN but it's kinda a spoiler: is it intentional that the copycat killer only kills women?
Yes, it is intentional! In the book, there is a clue as to why that pattern might exist. You'll need to use your imagination a little bit but the seed is there.
SO BASICALLY THERES THIS TRANSMASC DUDE NAMED WEGG WHO LITERALLY IS AN EGGHEAD AND HE HAS TO RESPAWN OR ELSE HE PERMADIES AND HE MEETS THIS PUPPET MUPPET-LOOKIN CLOTH DUDE NAMED MR NEIGHBOR WHOS ALSO TRANS AND HE MADE A DEAL WITH A PRETTY BIG CHESTED MASK LADY AND-
Sketchbook art from November 2022 when I was at the peak of my BKMN symbolism and stuff
I found this weird notebook at a thrift store that had a bunch of religious wording in it, so I kinda just took lines from it out of context and put them in the context of the story.
still thinking about wegg's curse as a whole. he has to die every month, so it doesn't progress.
but like.. how did he figure that out. i doubt he was told that since the end goal is for it to progress??
he clearly figured it out on his own, or by having something happen to him, and i haven't seen anyone talk about that yet. that's a wholeass conversation in of itself.
Recently finished reading Be Kind My Neighbor by @yugsly!!! And it was very good!! So naturally I wanted to make a self insert lol
I thought the way Lady Trudy granted wishes, by fulfilling them, but turning the wisher unhuman, was very neat and interesting! I wanted to try my hand at making someone who also followed Lady Trudy by asking for a wish granted. For the past 6 years I've been riddled with all kinds of medical problems, so I would wish for a healthy body.
