Hi my name is Jared (19 yr). I draw fanart mostly (I'll write once in a while). This is also a personal type blog. Currently in college so slow to post. | My other art sites and stories can be found here: https://linktr.ee/thehunter0014
Romulan Language, Culture, and History Sites (non-canon) Master Post (Updated 2-11-22)
Save you some reading and use this google doc, or read below the line.
I love romulans. It is no secret, but my nerding out knows no bounds. This is a master post for the best websites I know of for romulan language, culture, history, religion**, etc.
Do not just use the top one. Even though it is easy to navigate and has a diversity of information, it is missing some that others have. For example, the second one has actual lessons and great grammar charts, and the fourth one has culture and religion**. There is also some disagreement about grammar, culture, and definitions, since canon content is lacking.
Firstly, credit to Diane Duane’s books for bringing life to the romulans through language, culture, history, names, etc. Most sites and fans use her work as the base.
I recommend you read her books if you truly want to know everything you possibly can. They also contain information that is uncommon to see posted about, such as S’Task, romulan true/fourth/soul names (ST: Picard made that canon!), the three swords by S’Harien, and more. If you play Star Trek Online, after reading these books, things will make so much more sense!
Her books: My Enemy, My ally | The Romulan Way | Swordhunt | Honor Blade | The Empty Chair | Rihannsu: The Bloodwing Voyages, which is the first four in one.
On Inventing a Romulan Language
She also has a Tumblr!
Below the line are the sites, what they contain, and links directly to different pages on the sites.
Alternatively, instead of navigating a Tumblr post, you can use this google doc.

Formatting in the draft/editing is not translating to the actual post, so recommend the google doc. Or, view it on my page, and not your dash
If on mobile, please view in the google doc app or it will be squished.

Decent site but very old, updated 1997. Also part roleplay (some things are made up for convenience) so take the info with an extra grain of salt. Of course every source here is non-canon, but there is a difference between non-canon (licensed star trek books and stuff) and just making things up as you go.

Until I rewatched the TNG pilot just now I didn't know there were printers on every deck on the Enterprise that Picard can use to tell people the ship is about to go into MAXIMUM ACCELERATION.
I know I havent been very active on here. Im more active on my Twitter (currently, if I get more active on Tumblr than Twitter I’ll make that known too ;) )
To see me obsess over my tarantulas, crickets, worms, share numerous screenshots from Mass Effect, read the occasional adult content post here and there (will try to mark as sensitive content), and otherwise see whatever is currently grabbing my focus, follow me at
@thehunter00014 on Twitter
And my Linktree — for all my related socials and other important links
I’ll try to still share stuff here, but Twitter has a certain… simplicity that makes posting significantly easier than Tumblr mobiles broken ass app.
Pink toe tarantula, don’t know his exact age but seems to be more juvenile due to the size.
I accidentally got a horizontal habitat cause I wasn’t thinking. Pink toe’s are vertically inclined tarantulas. However, it ended up working out since I won’t be opening from the ceiling (which is where he’ll like to be most of the time).
I put some cardboard in and sealed it with electrical tape so I could put in substrate. I plan to get some more climbing decorations but this is what I got him for now.
He’s so shy! He wouldn’t come out of his container at first in the store, and he wouldn’t come out of his travel container. When I opened up the habitat to adjust something he slowly walked away (he was right next to the door). Im leaving him alone now to let him destress from the journey.
I dont have it in my linktree, but just in case: thehunter0014 IS NOT ME
I used to own it so it may seem legit but I WAS HACKED, if they msg you they will attempt to scam/hack you as well
Instagram support apparently doesnt think my face is mine so I cant fuckin recover it. Absolutely useless as since the scammer changed the email, instagram wont recognize my face, and I dont got my back up codes, I am forever locked out.
