new coining post y’all!

obki.

[plain text: obki.]

derived from object + kin.

so! Why did we make this? Well. We as a system have many introjects from various object shows, bcuz of it being out special interest. But also! We have many introjects of like, straight up objects, from the real world. And it’s hard to find a word to distinct between the two. We’ve been searching for a while now, but tonight we came up with obki!

the definition is that it’s the basic word for any object in the osc. Kinda like how the algebraliens are a well known species, this one (hypothetically) is one too! Of course, there’s a lot of variation between shows, but that’s okay!

This word was coined mostly for systems. But, I think anyone should use it! The osc is welcome to take this word and use it as their own! Just be mindful of its origins and intended use.

thank you for your time, everyone!
