The Fuck???
Kaladin feels actively nerfed when not using his Radiant powers it’s genuinely insane.
MeLaan is absolutely incredible and I love her so much. She and Wayne are a phenomenal pair. Every dynamic in this book is amazing. I honestly haven’t even met a single character I’ve disliked or even found boring yet.
(Also you guys better send me MeLaan x Wayne art in the reblogs, I’m begging. They’re perfect. If anyone can pull a shapeshifting, immortal demigod it’s Wayne.)
Aaahhhh, Eugenics. My least favorite part of this series.
Had some people commenting that it’s not a true Conlang-!!! And you’re like so right lmao. It’s closer to a translation cipher akin to Brainfuck.
This is for one very very simple reason: usability. This was made with the primary intention of being a fun, cool thing for the community to use and interact with. Basing the language on English as opposed to making a wholly unique language lowers the barrier for usability immensely. Which is like! The goal!!
So… I may or may not have written an entire Conlang based on a single joke in Minecraft Parkour Civilization 2. That would be ridiculous. Aha. Hahahaha. Ha.
*cough*
You add these in front of blocks to change their meaning. There’s a key at the bottom containing the Parkour alphabet which demonstrates how the space, 180°, 360°, and 720° Flourishes are used to refer to specific English-Letter analogs.
_ = Space
C = 180° Flourish = 5 spaces
O = 360° Flourish = 10 spaces
8 = 720° Flourish = 20 spaces
? = Reverse = Reverses input
^ = Vertical Jump = Raises Intensity
v = Drop = Lowers Intensity
These are the building blocks (lmfao) of the language and are what would be counted as an “input” or “letter”. Also included are short legends under each block describing what each flourish does to each block!
(Note! _,C,O, and 8 cannot be applied to any block other than [ ] and H)
[ ] = Block = Grammatical Value
(?[ ] = Capitalized)
(^[ ] = Impassioned)
(v[ ] = Depressed)
H = Fence = Numerical Value
(?H = Negative)
(^H = Exponential)
(vH = Square Root)
u = Pot = Period
(?u = Comma)
(^u = Hyphen/Equality)
(vu = Parentheses)
I = Pane = Question
(?I = Exclamation)
(^I = Command)
(vI = Sarcasm)
% = Brewing Stand = Addition
(?% = Subtraction)
(^% = Multiplication)
(v% = Division)
a = [ ]
b = _[ ]
c = __[ ]
ch = ___[ ]
d = ____[ ]
e = C[ ]
f = _C[ ]
g = __C[ ]
h = ___C[ ]
i = ____C[ ]
j = O[ ]
l = _O[ ]
m = __O[ ]
n = ___O[ ]
o = ____O[ ]
p = OC[ ]
r = _OC[ ]

sh = ___OC[ ]
t = ____OC[ ]
th = 8[ ]
u = _8[ ]

0 = H

Big thanks to my friend PrismaticKoi for giving me the idea and helping me figure this all out! Working with her made this process super fun!!!
Enjoy Parkour-!!! I’ll be coding an English<—>Parkour translator at some point, so stick around to find that!!
All of you need to go watch Minecraft Parkour Civilization though. It’s seriously fantastic.
SHE DIDN’T GO INSANE SHE JUST FELL IN LOVE
Shadows of Self Spoilers
She’s wearing Lessie’s face… and knew in intricate detail how she “died”. She was either Bloody Tan… or Lessie herself. I am. I am confident Lessie was a Kandra the whole time. It fits her hatred of being manipulated by Harmony… maybe she actually loved him? Maybe she didn’t want to lose the life they lived at the time. Maybe she was forced to go along with Sazed’s plans and lost her favorite face… and that broke her. Fuck, please if I’m right I’m going to be irreparable.
Love you El!!!!
A character I did for my good friend @shoccoe, trying out a new style!
First tumblr post! Woo! These are some miscellaneous characters I've done for DnD games and whatnot!
Wax just shotgun jumped. 10/10. I fear Brandon Sanderson may have peaked.
It ABSOLUTELY KILLS ME that Athena has NO ANSWER to Ares and Aphrodite's arguments, and just opts to tell Aphrodite to suck it up and bribe Ares
Like-
Aphrodite: "He left his elderly mother to die alone to fight a war."
Ares: "He has shown cowardice on numerous instances, categorically refusing to face problems with honor and all but sacrificing his comrads."
Athena, mentally: 'Shit. Fuck. They're objectively correct. Uhhhhh'
Athena: "Aphrodite stop being a bitch and Ares oooooooo look at the Murder you like the murder oooooo"

And this just- works??? Honestly so proud of her for pulling this off.
Well okay now she just stripped in the middle of the streets while doing her best Creation Spren impression, so I think the brain damage did in fact happen.
SHALLAN WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING WITH YOU THAT’S NOT HOW YOU RESPOND TI BEING SHOT IN THE FACE WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THR FUCK
