Guys!! Help me find a Kwei x reader short story that I cannot get out of my head or find for the life of me after I forgot to like it. What I can remember from it was Thia, Dek, reader, and Kwei were investigating a building they found on a planet, and reader and Kwei started to bicker with each other, and Dek told them to get a room, I believe. Then near the end of the story, Reader and Kwei meet up together to talk, but things get a little spicy before Dek interrupts them, lol.
My favorite podcast interviewed Britton Watkins, the creator of the new language featured in Predator: Badlands! It was very informative and we get a slew of words and how it’s spoken!
Click here for the interview!
Here are some of the words from AVPG’s blog post about their interview!
The top is the diode language and the bottom is the written!
He also goes into the cuss words at some point. 😌
Another fun thing? He said he wanted to respect the old language and so sees that as just another Yautja language out there. It’s just not the Badlands’ language. So, this lends credence to this idea I and others have had for years now that they have different languages and dialects!
In a new interview with AvP Galaxy**, Britton Watkins has just become my favorite conlanger in the world by giving the Yautja language a cursive version!
**(I have no idea how to fix it, but the link is starting the video at the 20 minute mark, just a heads up)
The thing I’m anticipating that already getting a lot of focus is that drek is stated to be a young Yautja (compared to the other one who looks….deliciously massive) but that all the other context clues were given suggests he’s NOT as young as Scar and his brothers were (and yes though they looked bigger, I’m willing to bet it’s a regional thing also, and I’m def not letting go of Dek being a hybrid for reasons I’ll write about below)
Since spoilers: read more
We’re told Dek wants to make a name for himself, that he’s fighting for the RIGHT to hunt in this dangerous ass planet and possibly others, and he wants to secure HIS bloodline. For ME, that doesn’t read as if this is a Chiva, but that this is a solo venture of a blooded hunter who wants to get out of his dad’s thumb and start his own clan.
(And this is also why I think he’s a hybrid, because why WOULD his dad be opposed to this? Why is Dek fighting so hard? I see a lot of similarities to Prey)
Now, Dan can very well get rid of the concept of a Chiva, but I don’t think we’re building lore from the ground up! It’s already such an impressive prospect that he’s developed a proper language, hinting that he’s keeping a few established words, so I doubt that he’s getting rid of certain things that have already formed roots across the AvP universe.
And no, no one HAS to agree with the those of us who interpret the Chiva as graduating college with a major in kickassary as opposed to “turning 18” as others have suggested, but I stick by the fact that it’s been repeatedly stated to be the final test before properly entering society. Like it’s less your 18 now life sucks wear a helmet, and more prove you’re an adult and can participate in our society by showing you’re an educated expert.
I had someone suggest Dek was a PRETEEN in one of my prior posts, so I need us to be sooooooo fucking for real as we learn more of the story. This guy doesn’t come off as some privileged 17 year old, either, but a blooded Yautja w a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. For whatever reason he’s small and his hair is weird, I’m sure the reason isn’t because he’s “minor-coded”😭
Having said that - i feel I’ve gained a reputation for always pointing this out, but that’s only because this is EXACTLY the kind of things antis use to infiltrate established fandom spaces. You’ll remember me when discourse evolves 1-3 months from now that insists we can’t ship anyone w Dek the way SOME suggested it w Scar and co forever ago and lead to…very dumb callouts.
As I said way back then, even if it’s YOUR personal headcanon that this is true, don’t come at others sideways about it, especially accusing anyone of outrageous shit when it comes to fictional aliens who can live to 1000 years.
It was actually stated that he’s young and looking to prove to his dad that he’s a capable hunter of taking on a dangerous planet. We know nothing yet and only have speculation. Let’s not draw conclusions just yet. I’ll leave y’all with this from an interview. Don’t read it if you don’t wanna know!
GUYS, GUYS!!! "´Predator: Killer of Killers" the animated series, just released a trailer!!!
“Predator: Killer of Killers, an original animated action-adventure film set in the Predator universe, will premiere June 6th, 2025, exclusively on Hulu. The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.” - Source
I'm very hyped about this, not only as a fan of the franchise but as an absolute sucker for animation and art. Hope we get some other news soon!
