Today I will drop some Modern Odapir translations because they're actually kinda ridiculous and I'm really proud of what I was able to accomplish with this damn language.
Stops: p, b, t, d, k, g
Nasal stops: m, n
Fricatives: (f) (v) (s) h
Approximants: w, j
Tap: r
Vowels: i, y, e, a [ə], á [a], o, u
Diphthongs: ai [əɪ̯], oi [ɔɪ̯], au [əʊ̯], áu [aʊ̯]
As you can see, phonemic vowel length was lost, as well as a lot of diphthongs, and all of the affricates. Non-glottal fricatives remain as allophones of stops between vowels, i.e. p, b, t > f, v, s / V_V.
Wá maji áso ná moi ten ko! - Watch where you're going! (Lit. using where you're going, do a warning!)
Omoi moimaji ko - Halt. (Lit. do a stop.)
Majy jamá ná ymak moimaji. - Why are you out after dark? (Lit. Why exist you after dark.)
I really like the (o)moi N ko grammar I created, because it serves several functions all in one. It literally means "to do a N," but it's actually just a light verb construction.
All gender is made up but my gender is more made up than yours because I am a conlanger.
not just homestuck, how about:
* linguistics
* niche micro histories about specific people
* legend born (by Tracy Deonn)
* plants
and more!
Scene: My funeral, day. People are crying over my grave, laying flowers, all the usual customs. Suddenly, there's a rumble coming from under everyone's feet. The Earth trembles as my hand shoots up out of the ground. As people are screaming and running in all directions, I float up in the air and state one simple proclamation.

friendly reminder to everyone that first draft just needs to exist.
it doesn’t need to be good, it just needs to be there. stories go through so many different drafts that nobody is gonna care if your first draft is a little messy.
you can’t edit and clean up something that doesn’t exist, so make it exist!
What’s the quote from the end of animal farm? Hmm…
As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.
a copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

Hi there, Ahmed,
While I have no money to give, I can definitely share your story in the hopes that it reaches somebody who does. Take care of yourself and your family as best as you can, and I wish you the best.
Specifically those that use a protolanguage... please write down your sound changes before you copy-paste them! I've been struggling for several months to remember which sound changes happened from Old Ipol -> Modern Ipol and I cannot, for the life of me, find the file where I saved them. Please write them down I'm begging you.
