Is this anything

update: i made a written eridian language for my fic

technically i made this last year just for fun, but im now repurposing it for Down to Earth and therefore had to scribble out the numbers, dates, and times explanation

i plan on making art and images for the fic that include words in this language, so if you plan to decode it i recommend saving it!!!!

(hell, if you want to make independent stuff including this language, i say go for it. just tag me please!!!)

[sozoglam]

heres a sentence example:

translation: Hello, Earth! I am Rocky.

direct translation: Hello,Earth! Iam Rocky.

spaces (tiny circles) are not needed after punctuation or words with one letter

[harvocel]

hmm

[nebulations]

[ID: Project Hail Mary fanart. Grace is shown smiling and waving, labeled as Ryland Grace. Then we see "Ryland as perceived by Rocky": a giant jellyfish with flowing tentacles, labeled as follows:

Tall and elongated

Flabby

Weak brain

Soft, spongy exterior

Random bits that stick out

Limited sensory capacity

Collapses under regular atmospheric pressure

Frighteningly permeable

Lacks vocal range

Contraction-based movement (weird)

As moist as can be. End ID]

happy its friday im a bug friday!!

[archaeologistproblems]

I fully thought this was about being an archaeologist, excavating and cleaning bones, until the very last word.

[archaeologistproblems]

I mean, we all have mandibles, though definitely not like bugs do. Just sometimes archaeologists have extras to clean, because we dug them up.

[marlynnofmany]

Happy "it's Friday I'm an archaeologist" Friday!

[portraitoftheoddity]

I know that accuracy in fiction isn't everything and getting too caught up in pedantic details of research can be a problem when it keeps you from actually writing, but at the same time I am haunted by an actual on-the-air TV show from 2010 that was set in a "Small Town in Maine" and was clearly written by writers who had never been to Maine or a small town for that matter since the canon population of said "Small Town" would have made it the 5th largest city in the state.

summer sufferers poll: would you rather have…

the ability to repel all bugs so they can’t touch/bite/sting you

the ability to always be at a comfortable temperature while outside

no chafing ever again

Remaining time: 13 hours 27 minutes

When Grace is on Rocky’s ship, we see Rocky showing Grace designs on the ship wall, which I think are insignias that represent the original crew of 23 Eridians.

He’s telling Grace about his crew members.
