Worldbuilding: Occultic Languages -Alphabets
Faeith Alphabet (as of July 27 2023)
Esrever Alphabet
Zed-I alphabet
Rymordia Alphabet
Numbers in each language
So, I’m only putting this worldbuilding post behind a paywall because it’s got images of the alphabets I intent to use in certain works and don’t want them spread around online.
If not for that, I have no plans to make worlbuilding paywall exclusives.

whenever Andrew or Neil are talking about Kevin to the other they refer to him as "your boytoy"
#Neil to Andrew at the end of trk: don't worry. I'll keep your boytoy safe for you until you get back#Kevin: 🧍#this is even better in a kandreil exclusive way#like Kevin is not romantically involved but they use it totally seriously and casually#lmao it gets to the point where Kevin will respond to it. like hell lift his head up when he hears it bc he knows they're talking about him#LMAO all I can think now is Coach seeing this and being like I do NOT get paid enough for this shit#neil josten#andrew minyard#kevin day#aftg#mine aftg

Eddie’s doing some dumb trick with a couple of wooden spoons, clever hands making them move through the air in improbable ways, and Steve’s about to bite his whisk in half.
He’d thought for sure that Eddie would be going home the first week; Edward Munson, 29, bartender/musician from Brighton with mismatched tattoos and wild hair, seemed like exactly the kind of pretentious asshole who would flame out early with some ill-advised hipster experimentation. If Steve (28, social worker from Indiana, USA) had been a complete asshole, he’d have said that Eddie didn’t have the fundamentals. That he was all sizzle, no steak.
It’s a good thing Steve’s not a complete asshole, because Eddie’s been blowing the technicals out of the water so consistently it’s actually pretty fucking embarrassing. His signatures and showstoppers are making a very respectable showing too, except for the time he tried to incorporate some fresh pandan extract and fucked up the liquid ratio, leaving him with a dripping mess that Mary’d declined to even try.
Afterwards, Steve had seen him leaning against a tree and struggling to light a cigarette. Steve went over for no particular reason, flicking on his lighter and holding it out like a peace offering. Eddie looked at him warily, but bent over the offered flame.
“Can’t believe I made it through this one,” Eddie said after a moment, white smoke curling out of his mouth.
“Yeah, I feel like that every week.” Steve leaned against the tree next to Eddie. It was a big tree, the kind that’s probably been growing in this field since before England was even England.
“Nah, but—c’mon, you know what I mean.”
“You had some bad luck with your showstopper. Happens to the best of us, man. Your signature hand pies looked sick as hell.” Steve’s own hand pies had turned out pretty well, so he was feeling generous. It had only been the third week; plenty of time for Steve to snag Star Baker, though even by that point, Steve had been getting the creeping feeling that he was being a little too American about the whole thing. Everyone else seemed to think competitiveness was some kind of deadly sin. It was—actually kind of nice, to get the same kind of nerves he’d always gotten before high school basketball games, but know that he wasn’t really fighting against anyone except himself in the tent.
Anyway, the very next week, Eddie had done some kind of kickass gothic castle with a shiny chocolate dragon and gotten Star Baker for the second time. Steve had clapped him on the back, appropriately manly. Eddie had pulled Steve into a real hug, arms tight around Steve’s shoulders and his whole lean body pressed up close and warm. It had only lasted a moment, and then Eddie had bounded over to Mel and Sue, both of whom he’s been thoroughly charming since the get-go.
Steve thinks that when this season—or, uh, series—airs, no matter where Eddie places, the entire country is going to be just as charmed. Eddie’s going to get whatever kind of cookbook deal or streaming show he wants. Sponsors will take one look at that handsome face and charismatic grin, and a whole world of possibilities is going to open up for Eddie.
Steve’s not in it for any of that, of course. He’s here kind of by accident, because Robin pushed him to apply, and it’s a goddamn miracle he’s been holding his own. Hell, it’s a miracle he’s in this country at all. When Robin had started looking at the Cambridge MPhil program in linguistics, she’d said wouldn’t it be great if and he’d snorted, yeah right, like I could ever get whatever job I’d need to move to another freaking country, but then—well. Things had happened the way they’d happened, and now Robin’s almost finished with her degree and Steve is taking time off from the London charity he works at in order to be on Bake Off.
He’s told all this to the cameras, plus the stuff about how baking started as a way for him to connect with the kids he used to babysit in Indiana, blah blah blah. He thinks it’s probably too boring for them to air, but he gets that they have to try to get a story anyway.
Eddie Munson, on the other hand, is probably going to be featured in all the series promos. Steve is rabidly curious about what Eddie’s story is, but he hasn’t worked up the nerve to just ask. It should be the easiest thing in the world. They’ve got kind of a camaraderie going, the two of them; a bit of a bromance, as Mel’s put it more than once.
It’s true they get along pretty well, and the cameras have been picking up on it: on the way Eddie’ll wander over to Steve’s bench like a stray cat whenever they get some downtime, how they wind up horsing around sometimes, working off leftover adrenaline from the frantic rush of caramelization or whatever. There’s the time Eddie had hopped up on a stool to deliver some kind of speech from Macbeth, of all things, and overbalanced right onto Steve, who had barely managed to keep them both from careening into a stand mixer. Sue had patted Eddie on the shoulder and said, “Well, boys, that’ll be going in the episode for sure.”
They both get along with the other contestants just fine, of course, but they’re two guys of about the same age with no wife and kids waiting at home. It’s only natural that they’re gravitating together, becoming something like friends, Steve figures. It’s pretty great that he’s getting at least one real friend out of this whole thing.
It would be even greater if Steve could stop thinking about Eddie’s hands in decidedly non-friendly ways. With all the paperwork he’s signed, he can’t even complain to Robin about how Eddie looks with his sleeves pushed up to show off the tattoos on his forearms, kneading dough and grunting a little under his breath with effort. Steve had almost forgotten to pre-heat his oven that day.
Two benches away, Eddie fumbles the spoons he’s been juggling with a clatter, and he bursts out laughing, glancing over at Steve like Steve’s in on the joke. Steve grins back, heart twanging painfully in his chest, and thinks: well, fuck. Guess this is happening.
#this is a TRULY bonkers AU like wtf even is the venn diagram of steddie fans and people who exclusively like the BBC GBBO#I know nothing about the process of creating reality tv so I most likely will not be continuing this#(plus ST is just so intrinsically American to me)#but I saw the GBBO musical last week and that's what prompted this little abomination#steddie#GBBO AU#ETA: ftr I rated the GBBO musical 2.5/5. I have a colour-coded spreadsheet.#decent songwriting & solid performances but the emotional beats/pacing were all over the place and it did some weird revisionist callbacks#plus the level of assumed thirst for not!Paul Hollywood was wildly off-putting to me#a person who finds neither his personality nor his appearance in any way attractive#anyway I paid £15 for my ticket and that felt right to me. I will see literally any show for £15.

William Laurence really went from "i know dragons can fuck a ship up and that's about it" to "foremost human expert of dragon psychology, sociology, and war-time supply chain in Europe*" in under a decade and good for him
that's what happens when you don't have to unlearn incorrect methods first
(*Except France)
#temeraire#also yes some of this is about dragon's unique biology#like their adoration of mathematics and treasure#and the ability to intensely pack bond if given an opportunity#but it's also really basic stuff like#“big dragons can be used to carry big things”#“dragons don't have to eat meat exclusively”#“people like to be paid for their labour”#“dragons are sapient creatures who can think rationally about situations”

Sometimes I forget just how dedicated to his job Butler is, but like...that's a hardcore part of his character.
Book 1 it's obvious, he breaks a man's hand without looking and without second thoughts. Sure, "scared is better than dead," and he shows a soldier's honor when dealing with LEP Retrieval One, but he still obliterates them with only a moment's hesitation.
Even Book 4 makes sense ("But Butler was only paid to protect one thing, and it was not The Fairy Thief.") He's lost his memories of the People, of course he'd default to "Protect the Principal."
But then we see his job take precedence over everything else again and again even with his involvement with the fairies. Book 3, that sound grenade could have easily killed or maimed people. He didn't hesitate to use it. Book 5, even with his memories of the fairies intact, owing them his life, and knowing the risks of letting the demons be discovered, he is unapologetic about his thoughts on the situation: "If I had to walk away from here, it would not trouble me unduly, so long as you were walking away with me." Would he have some regrets? Possibly. Would letting the demons be discovered introduce new difficulties to his job? Most likely. Would he let that stop him from walking out and getting Artemis to safety given the first opportunity? Not a chance. Book 7, his baby sister is in potentially mortal danger, and he still prioritizes Artemis's safety over his own convenience in rescuing his family.
Butler willing to help others, would go to the ends of the earth for those he considers friends, but at the end of the day, his job is to protect his Principal, and that is always always his highest priority.
#artemis fowl#domovoi butler#just some thoughts rattling about my brain while i make spaghetti#the man is by far one of my favourite characters#but sometimes it's easy to forget - between the snappy one-liners and overall dad-friend energy - that he is a professional bodyguard#and one of the best bodyguards in the business at that#and he takes his job very VERY seriously#to the exclusion of all else at times#it's just interesting (and enjoyable) that Eoin never really let that lapse as the series progressed#it was constantly shown in small ways that Butler would help the fairies or save his sister or whatever#but only so long as his primary task of keeping the person he was paid to protect safe was fulfilled

okay, i'll tag this one so you can find it.
to the anons and commenters: thanks for your responses. that was a fun thing to see.
to watcher: can't wait to see what you do when you don't have advertisers looming over you! super excited for what comes next.
the the fans who have left racist comments on steven's posts: what the fuck is wrong with you?
to all the fans of watcher: i am politely bowing out of this one. i'm pretty sure you guys already hate me anyway, or at least the comments and anons have made it seem that way.
#watcher#watcher tv#shane madej#ryan bergara#ghoul boys#steven lim#buzzfeed unsolved#this situation is odd to me.#people are acting like they invented the idea of paywalling#as if dropout.tv doesn't exist#or as if streaming services don't already offer exclusive shows and charge 20 bucks a month for them#people are also acting as if they dont want to make content theyre proud of without the fear of not getting paid this week#they may have money but they live in california. it's expensive as fuck to live in my tiny town in indiana let alone LA#as a content creator myself i want to make content i'm proud of without having to worry if this is what gets the youtube gods angry at me

i had to deliver more pizzas to two-face today and this time he actually opened the door himself but he stood sideways the entire time and refused to look at me. i guess he thought i wouldn't recognize him if i didn't see both sides or something?
#hate to break it to you but that didn't work#but it did look really funny#might have been a bit more convincing if he hadn't shown the burnt side#or paid exclusively with two-related money#i'm not gonna sell him out tho#he tipped 222 dollars and 22 cents today#definitely worth the way through joker territory#two face#just gotham city things#only in gotham#unreality

theres something about how so many craft patterns are free as video tutorials but if you for any reason cant work off a video you have to pay for the pattern. something something being disabled is more expensive
#im all for pattern makers of all types getting paid#but if you label your pattern specifically as free that better include free written instructions i fucking swear#for paid patterns you can include the video file in the paid download on at least a few sites#my specific experiences are with knit and crochet but it doesnt seem to be exclusive to those crafts

CANNOT believe that roberto aguirre-sacasa wanted to put on a play about all the characters from archie comics growing up and coming out as gay. and archie comics cease and desisted him. so instead in revenge he made a silly little teen drama and slowly made every single character come out as gay. his mind!!!!
#this post sponsored by archie's mom's gay divorce#they paid molly ringwald to show up in an episode exclusively for that!!! respect#riverdale#roberto aguirre-sacasa#gay kevin#<- worst gay character on the show tho sorry

So Reylos are now freaking out over episode 4 of Ahsoka cause Anakin showed up in what appears to be the wbw. I have not watched Ahsoka and don't plan to. I personally think that nothing will come out of this in regards to Ben Solos return. People think Leia sacrificed herself to send Ben there? If she sacrificed herself to save him then he wouldn't have gone anywhere he would have been alive.
Anyone who thinks there was planning or thought behind anything in tros is delusional.
Thinking they're setting up Ben's resurrection is almost as removed from reality.
#as I said years ago his return in some form is inevitable#ie: more content using the character- almost certainly exclusively in the mask and doing meaningless completely OOC villain antics#and obviously not live-action- cartoons comics books etc.#that will fuck up the timeline and make no sense#but the likelihood of Ben being resurrected and his story actually continuing forward is infinitesimal#they have made their bed and they have made clear their intention to lie in it#piss-soaked sheets and burning pillow notwithstanding#this is about finding an excuse to use HC in their show for fanservice and buzz#and that's as deep as it goes#I wouldn't watch any of this shit if you paid me but does this not destroy the ending of RotJ even more than it already was by implying#Anakin is not in a state of peace or really dead or ascended to nirvana?#he was one with the Force he should not be in any kind of purgatory or transitional dimension or whatever#but I suppose there is absolutely nothing scared and they've already shit all over everything that ending was about so why not#let's just go for the final insult and say Anakin's redemption wasn't real and he wasn't accepted into the afterlife#why let any Skywalker have anything#not one of them can have ever accomplished even he most hollow of victories#somehow we have to give THIS to Rey too#she time travelled and forced him to save Luke#NOT THAT I'M BITTER
