//Hey guys! Just a bit of an OOC heads up:
Iโve recently received some guidance from Medicโs admin that will kind of change how Lovelace works from here on out. The changes are as follows:
1) less actual dialogue. While some birds are able to communicate with tablets irl if trained properly [see here!], it doesnโt work quite like Archieโs admin and I were portraying it, and itโs debatable whether Medic would even have the time or desire to train his birds as such. So English dialogue will be kept to a minimumโ emojis will be substituted to try and get the point across when possible, since random dove noises arenโt exactly easy to understand.
2) No positive communication with BLUs. This oneโs a bit of a bummer, but I understand why Medicโs admin wants this to happen. Heโs had the doves for damn near a decade, and as such, they would be loyal to him and, by extension, his team. It sucks bc I loved the little thing Lovelace had going with James, but all good things must come to an end, I suppose!
These are the conditions Archieโs admin and I have been given for remaining part of the continuity. Iโm not trying to throw Medicโs admin (or anyone else) under the bus hereโ Iโve agreed willingly to these terms, and Iโm not arguing against them in any way. I just wanted to be transparent about why the direction of the blog is going to be changing.
Thanks for being awesome! โค๏ธ๐ฅฐ๐๏ธโค๏ธ
//Update: ok, so Iโm adding my own exception for the โlimited speakingโ rule. If Lovelace is talking to Archimedes (or any other merc pet), or if sheโs responding to asks, she can talk in dovespeak and communicate to yall. But with the mercs, speech is still limited to only what emojis and cooing canโt convey. โค๏ธ
