‘Vernacular Vexation’

Stuck in a rut as a humdrum tailor, Kenny always wanted to believe that there was more to life outside of his small village. When he stumbles across a rebellious, redheaded fairy and gets wound up in the dangers of the supernatural realm, he gets more of a change than he ever bargained for.

You have taught us many Faterian words but not how to count to ten this is outrageous I want to count to ten please and thank you

Gettin’ called out for my valiant efforts to not turn every chapter into an episode of Sesame Street wow. I joke u r very polite and I am thrilled when people wanna know more Faterian it makes the Tav’nokana knows how many hours I’ve poured into it feel just a tiny bit worth it <333

One through ten tho is

Vec, brel, ral, palt, ton’na, nen, ste, hem, mel’ni, alei

These are all subject to change however because I am very inconsistent with my own feelings on how they sound. Who knows how many words I’ve gone back to previously-posted chapters and edited without saying a word to anyone honestly. One day I’ll be satisfied with it. One day.

Fun fact: In Glass, Kyle’s name is actually spelled kai’le in Faterian

@queentoastie replied to your post:                    Fun fact: In Glass, Kyle’s name is actually...                

   I always wanna know this stuff my dude. how is it actually pronounced tho… don’t leave me hanging like this..    

Pronounced p much like it’s spelled in Faterian: Kai-lay.

His full name, Kylenove’ia, is Kai-lay-no-vey-ee-a, which lit translates to “One of word”, because since the kiantri told Sheila right away “oh boy, he be a scholar” she just jumped on that shit with “YES THEN I AIN’T LETTIN’ THIS FATERI FORGET WHO HE BE”. And put the ‘Kai/Ky’ in front of it literally for decoration. He’s one of the few in the Fater’talei who’s boxed in not only by his nederi, but his name, too, since he was chosen so damn fast.

Fun fact, Kenny’s name would be said “Kay-ni”, spelled “Ke’ni” in their tongue, with the “ni” being hella staccato, which is why Kyle, when he first heard it, had to drag it out further than necessary to adapt to the speech Ken was using.

There, have some sneak-peek world-building I haven’t touched in the story yet pff. I actually need to go through and re-write some of Kyle’s lingual tendencies since I’ve developed the lingo a bit more. But... lazy.

Apparently still the most natural thing for me to write is my anti-cow psa’s. Shit just is so natural because I’m so concerned for the safety of humanity i’m a modern day hero

[courtanie]

Me: I’m not allowed to touch Technicolor or Pietanza again until I update something further behind

*Writes one sentence in Glass*

Me: Maybe if I just make this one sentence really great I can update with just that
