started making the new zines !!!!!

I wasn’t going to do any language making for my cats but I’m kinda having fun :\ gosh darn fantasy brain making more work for me

Anyways look at my color words:

Red is Hoq, Orange is Hac, and Yellow is Hic

Green is Ebi, Blue is Ebo, and Purple is Evy

White is Aja, Black is Ojo and Grey is Ajo

Colors between are mixes of their parent sounds. Like: Pink is Hoja, Navy is Ebojo, Teal is Ebobi etc

The current draft name is Purrgrar, the feline branch of Grerpurr which is the common language of the containment zone animals. Many things are shared by both branches but many more things aren’t the same. Purrgrar is far more reliant on emphasizing certain parts of their speech to show the true meaning of the words. Like this:

Pellpurror is the word for brother (more like mine brother tho). If a cat emphasizes the Purr part then they are showing they are close to their brother, while if they emphasize the Pell part then their just stating that this is their brother but not a really close one.

Pellir is the word for parent/guardian. Piapurror is romantic partner, Piipurror is platonic partner.

A few months ago @camille-lachenille posted about an encyclopedia of Tolkien's elves. Obviously I had to know what this book was and how I could get my hands on it. A comprehensive academic text on the elves is something all of us Tolkien fanatics need on our bookshelves! To my dismay it was only in french and I couldn't find a translation or publication anywhere. I don't speak or read a lick of french butttt I bought it anyway (you dont understand i HAD to have it) and two months later it arrived from France!

It's the most beautiful thing I've ever held 😭😭😭

Its the most fun I've had in yeeeears! My Tolkien crazy is in full force guys!!

Does anyone have translation ideas or tips? I'm not a tech wiz but I thought about chat gpt.

Okay I may have been working on smth for the past week 👉👈

Fantasy cat societies formed after natural disasters that caused wild mutations and the death of humans the cats used to rely on. Other species have rose to great intelligence making their own mini societies, a reset of the natural order of sorts. But not just animals have mutated

Misery: a state or feeling of great distress or discomfort of mind or body.

Misery was a familiar feeling to all of the citizens of Haven. It wasn't uncommon to hear the sobbing and desperation from all around. The reality of not only Baron Praxis's cruel reign but the great Metal Head War encroaching just beyond the city's walls weighed heavily on them all. They cried day in and out, wanting to be saved from this nightmare.

It's about time somebody did something about it.

I’ve actually been writing this since i was a teen, and it’s been going over extreme editing for AO3. I have over 14-15 chapters already written but they need to be looked over again. If you wanted to check out my J&D fanfic ya can. 

However, if you wanted to also learn more about TVOS itself before diving in, i have a huge mountain of content over on Amino that you can find right here-

https://aminoapps.com/c/jakanddaxteramino/page/user/astra-the-chinchilla/LbbK_RWHYfGM2eVKBWxm1gk7Ynk2LNE0b7

There are character wikis, the TVOS AU wiki, as well as chapters already there for you to read if you want to read now(however, they’re kinda crappy) I also have a lot of old art so you can check that out as well.

Edit: Decided to add the cover for Melodies of Misery here to catch some folks eyes. Hope ya like it.

This is a personal project I'm working on.

Was encouraged by Tulli to post some of my original work here today for portfolio day. Besides GG20s, I'm also developing a cyberpunk story about a rookie cyborg boxer in an alternate 2001 Los Angeles in the style of late-90s anime.

I also have a side project, developing a video game idea on exploring the Pacific ocean and speculative marine sciences.

Also some posters I've done, including a piece I made for The Lovers.

My life has been quite beautiful

he loves those dumb twins sm, the found family aspect of this show makes me go crazy!!!!!!!

(1st pic is referencing this post lol)

Man I feel like a lot of leftist activists would do a lot better to just use common fucking language to talk about things rather than dense academic shit that's only understandable to people with PhDs and people who spend 95% of their waking life on Leftist Twitter lmao

Like, you're talking with other academics? Great, use academic language. You're a social media account trying to interact with the general public? Don't say "decarcerate", say "find alternatives to imprisonment". Don't say "collective liberation", say "freedom for all". By GOD don't say "bodymind autonomy", say "the ability to have control over our own minds and bodies".

Yes it takes a little more effort to explain shit in common language but I promise you people will stop looking at you like you have two heads and dismissing everything you say as Woke Bullshit if you like, actually get on their level, goddamn it. Not everyone has the privilege to have a graduate-school level understanding of this type of language or spend so much time reading leftist theory that they can perfectly understand this stuff.

i am cringe but i am free

Agh don’t know if I care about wc enough right now :|

Fantasy cultures are just all I can think about. Like making trade routes, cultures, styles. Don’t even know if I want it to necessarily be just cats.

Since I’m not as solidly set down with my project maybe I could add other animals into the mix. Any suggestions are welcome

I am THIS close to going full conspiracy board trying to piece together the components of my favourite genre "spooky, mystery solving, coming of age adventures that involve a clash of the mundane and the supernatural"

EDIT: I went full conspiracy board mode

Agh now thinking of a slight name tweak for the wings ppl please help I need to know which sounds better

In the daytime Pearl E. Moon is a caretaker at the beloved family theme park, Scarland. At night she dons her mask and her hard hat and becomes Hermit City’s very own superhero, THE CLEANING LADY. But trouble is brewing in the seedy underbelly of Hermit City, the likes of which THE CLEANING LADY has never seen before. Old foes return, but this time it is neither THE CLEANING LADY nor Hermit City in their scopes, but rather each other. The mad GOAT seeks revenge on HOTGUY and his partner-in-crime, POULTRY MAN. The stakes are raised when the GOAT calls on his old ally, THE RED KING, and the dastardly duo of POULTRY MAN and HOTGUY form an alliance with the equally eccentric and explosive TATMAN.

There is only one thing standing between Hermit City and the impending war of the villains: THE CLEANING LADY!

Based on the idea of this post!
