the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise – what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that
Tolkien had the time apparently
LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
“you know someone knows your brain when you fuck up a phrase and they know not only exactly what you meant but exactly what unconscious thought processes happened to fuck it up and can explain to you which experiences in your life led to that moment”
Notes: If is a different day, I opted to only draw
what Tara described of the outfit, if she didn’t mention her make-up or shoes I
believe Ebony didn’t wear any.
Unless the fic says explicitly that it’s a
different day I tried to keep some of the aspects of the last outfit that Tara
didn’t change or didn’t mention. (Like her make-up or shoes).
The little icons that appear in like three of the outfits are the earrings she was wearing that chapter.
Doing this was beyond confusing but fun.
I’m so fucking happy this exists this is hilarious
