literally my fave vid ever

[softomenremade]

ok so i didnt expect this video to blow up because i was just posting it to show it to my friends really but now that it has nearly 8k notes i feel like i have to say something. stop calling the grown ass adults in this video "cute" or "sweet". it's extremely infantilizing. adults with down syndrome aren't babies. how would you feel if you were a grown ass man or woman making a self advocacy video because your disability is heavily stigmatized and then having some random people say "oh how cute". i'd be really fucking pissed off myself. adults with down syndrome are adults. they should be treated with respect. i know y'all dont mean anything by it either. but regardless, your responses are a product of ableism. think about that a little bit.

Soooo I missed Saturday but that's what Mondays are for, right? xD Happy Meet and Greet Monday my dearest, I come bearing a Question about the B&N characters! And it is about Fonts! Because.. because! (I random that way xD) If the B&N characters could pick a favourite font, what would it be?

*beams* thank you sweetheart (@pen-for-sword)! If the primary characters of B&N had favorite fonts from our world they would be:

Red stars and candle background, words: Baskerville Old Face is a nice, plain, readable font. -Talos 

Blue stars and candle background, words: Chiller can be all sorts of fun. -Thom

Blue stars and candle background, words: Comic Sans MS is my fav! I don’t get people’s problems with it.  -Dinama

Blue stars and candle background, words: Scriptina is beautiful and elegant. Perfect. -Awlama 

Send as many Meet & Greet Monday Asks you’d like!

[writeblrsummerfest]

and right on time is the 5pm prompt! i’m pre-scheduling all of tomorrow’s posts now as well, so this won’t happen again!

_-_-_-_

we’re winding down today with a question for you all!

what inspired the creation of your wip? what made you decide this is the story I want to write?

[cosmosbv]

Bonds and Negotiations, in the current form, started in 2018 while I was at a local craft fair trying to raise money for my service cat Sota’s vet bills when he was going through kidney failure. Sadly he didn’t make it. I spent the following bit not working on it except for an occasional inspiration piece I’d reblog. 

Then last year I was going through some of my really old notes from middle school and discovered one of my steno marked story bits without a name which happened to have many of the same elements and the same base characters. Including notes on my dragonbloods, their culture and language. 

Then one day I was talking to a peep about conlangs and the program they use to work on them. That was the fuse needed to start working on Yumpiw, the language of the ‘amubaw (dragonbloods). I’ve been slowly building the dictionary for the language, along with the customs, though it’s not the fastest process building an entire culture. 

I had intended to do more for this years @writeblrsummerfest but things keep going wrong in life, including Winston, my current service pup, might have cancer, though it is looking like it was just a bad infection that meds treated. Now if I could just manage to make it to the vet to get the confirmation test.

One of your oc’s has never seen the ocean in person before! What happens when they see it for the first time?

[cosmosbv]

@writeblrsummerfest @pen-for-sword

Thom has never seen the ocean, not even through Shallow’s eyes when he borrows his familiar’s vision. He wishes to some day visit the Palace of Dhashuu, which sits on a small island off the coast. 

The first time he visits it, he carefully leaves his hover chair with Talos’ help, and settles in the sand, using Shallow’s eyes to gaze in wonder. The ocean is so much more than he ever expected. It seems more vibrant than anyone has described it to him. 

A part of him wonders if that is due to using his familiar’s vision. Shallow often views things the way a faery ferret does, which differs from a human from what he can tell. Not shocking, since that’s what his familiar is, even if they are closer bonded then most. 

He loses track of time as he enjoys the cool breeze dancing across his face. The way the air is tinged with salt and something else he can’t easily put a name to. He’ll ask a local about it later, to see if it has a name. The water drifting back and forth over his toes tickles, thicker than he’s used to feeling. 

It’s wonderful, too much and not enough as he watches the sunset over the ocean, light it in purple to pink and orange flames. 

[pen-for-sword]

ohhhh he can borrow his familiar’s vision! that’s really cool! and yessss ocean sunsets are prettyyyy 

[cosmosbv]

*grins* he can! The first time was totally an accident. They both freaked out a bit since suddenly both could see through the faery ferret’s eyes. After they had Rhe check them, and slowly worked on learning to control the changes between them.

OH THIS IS AMAZING i love the way you did the border!

[maple-writes]

It looks so lush! 

[cosmosbv]

*beams* thank you so much! It’s a primarily tropical country, though a few parts of the northern borders are in temperate zones. A lot of the inspiration for the clothing and buildings comes from different parts Indonesia.

Project: Bonds & Negotiations by @jaimistoryteller​

I really liked the summary of your story and I hope I did it justice with this moodboard! If you have a taglist, please add me to it!

@writeblrsummerfest​ Thank you for organizing this!

[ID: A moodboard made of ten pictures, in the colors yellow, orange, red and blue. The pictures are:

orange fireworks in the nigt sky

a big house photographed at night, with lots of stars behind it

stacks of floor tiles with different patterns in yellow and blue

a bunch of blue and orange lampions hanging close together, with a white fairy light hung next to them

plently of yellow lampions, this time a bit further away from each other

a close-up of yellow and orange spices, with cinnamon sticks(?) lying next to them

metal bowls with red and orange spices in them standing on the ground

about a dozen disco balls hanging outside at night and illuminating the photo with thousands of little dots of light

floor tiles in pastel blues and reds

underwater, with the sun shining through and some air bubbles of varying sizes in front of the camera /end ID]

[cosmosbv]

*beams* I totally have a tag list and will definitely add you! 

Ohhhhhh I love the board! It definitely fits with theme and aesthetics of B&N! 

The floor tiles for pic 9 reminds me of dragon scales, which is awesome since there are dragonbloods (’amubaw - Yumpiw, their language, name for themselves).

Thank you so much!

Happy Storyteller Saturday! What's something about your WIP/OCs you love to talk about but are seldom asked?

Thanks for the STS @raevenlywrites! Sorry it took so long to answer, things have been a mess here.

What’s something about your WIP/OCs you love to talk about but are seldom asked?

Yumpiw! 

I love to talk about Yumpiw [jumˈpiw, the language of the ‘amubaw [ʔaˈmubɔ] (dragonblood) from my story Bonds & Negotiations. I know I haven’t talked about it much, but folks rarely ask anything about it. 

Here’s a few words related to relationships and love.

i tutwu ú to [i tutwu ʊ to] - i care for you - often used between to peeps in a developing relationship. 

 i nan to [i nan to] - i adore you - it is used to show strong affection to a partner

i ngûmú to [i ŋʌmʊ to] - i treasure you - while this is used most often for children and offspring, it can be used for life partners who are bonded as well. 

i ngùntà to [i ŋɵntɑ to] - i love you - not a phrase used often among the ‘amubaw, love is used for plenty of things and is an acknowledged emotion but is not often used for relationships. 

PS. the words within the brackets are the IPA way to say the sentences.

Mmmm I need more songs to listen to. How about…

Send an ask with a song title + artist, I’ll say which OC it fits and I’ll give you another song from that OC’s playlist!

If you’re looking for similar songs to a favourite of yours, this would be a good way to get some ideas~
