Thoughts on Vo’lete as a linguist:
Firstly, Vo’lete is really cool, and while - at least as far as I’m aware - we never get a full grammar and dictionary it does a really good job of balancing being a realistic Conlang while also being similar enough to English to be believably deciphered by the characters in the story. Not everything is a 1-to-1 translation but sentence structure is pretty English-like.
Vo’lete is also a really interesting example of a dead language or a dying language. Especially once we get into season 3 and it’s just gone.
In s1 & s2 the Vo’lete we find is scant and typically not anything particularly standout also most of it comes without any kind of translation. The only reason we know so much about the Epic of Gilgamesh is because it was a writing exercise, most texts are not inherently important and rarely are people writing bilingually.
Other than that, we have one native speaker Luce/Alerion. Luce is a fascinating example of how languages interact. While at first it might seem silly how he seems to perfectly understand English (/whatever the common language of fable is) but not be able to speak it at all, it’s actually a pretty good (if a bit heightened) example of a real thing that happens in language communication. Just think of any time you’ve been in a language class and you’ve understood what’s being said to you in the foreign language but not been able to reply back - that’s basically Luce.
If this was a real world setting these facts would suggest an isolated minority language that is being introduced to English. The speakers of Vo’lete understand English but don’t use it. This introduction has probably been happening for a while given Luce’s familiarity with English. Also Vo’lete is written in the same script as English which could suggest it didn’t have a writing system before the introduction to English (like so many indigenous languages across the world).
If we pair that with the lack of other Vo’lete speakers we might see a language in decline, a minority language that is being disfavoured for English the language of the majority.
Then we get to season 3 and suddenly there is no more Vo’lete. This feels sudden and is not entirely realistic because previous documents in Vo’lete are now in English but the sudden loss of language does happen.
There are numerous examples from history where we have documents of X language for years and years and then suddenly X language just doesn’t show up anymore. Maybe the speaker group was wiped out by invasion or disease, maybe they were taken over by another group and that groups language became the only one allowed to be written. Often times we will never know. But, it does happen that suddenly a language stops being used and historians and historical linguists are left confused as to where the language went.
So, Vo’lete from a linguistic anthropology lens appears to be a minority language in decline with a dwindling speaker base that - by the time of season 3 - has been entirely lost.
Rae’s reaction to losing all of the Vo’lete notes is so validating as a linguist. It’s not just a loss of information but a loss of history, culture, a way of seeing the world.
I've been thinking a lot about this language again, and honestly building it was such a little side passion project of mine that I put so much thought into when translating. It actually started as a demon realm language for a character from Grand Theft Auto roleplay that I took to a few text roleplay sessions. It never saw enough play in my opinion, maybe a few sentences, so I brought it into Fable, a way for me to expand this language, share it, and have it run its full course.
This breakdown is incredible, I loved reading your take on it, and thank you so much for looking into my silly little language that was a light in my life for a good bit of time there.

Who Am I?
✧ Welcome in, dear interlocutor. These deep spiral galaxies seem to go on for miles, and there's no way of knowing where they could possibly end, but isn't that the beauty of it?
✧ My name is Reisaval, or Reis for short, pronounced much the same as the word "raze", which is fitting as recently I have burned it all down and begun anew. My pronouns are he/they, and I'm a streamer, a shapeshifter, and very queer.
✧ If you knew me before, know that I am no longer that person. I am a completely new entity and I'd like to keep it as such. The past is the past, and while it's nice to look back at times, I must not let myself drown in it again.
✧ I've gathered a few helpful links to find me on other platforms in the form of this linktree, simply click through and make your way over to our Discord, or Twitch, or wherever else you may end up, as drifting is not frowned upon here, rather encouraged, and no matter where you find yourself, there will always be space for you here.
✧ A few things to keep in mind about this blog, and some about my greater online presence.
First, we are not friends. I choose my friends carefully and keep them close to my heart, and those who are my friends will know. This may seem harsh, but in the past this has become an issue, and I'd like to make this very clear from the start.
Second, I will be much more free on this site, from #reisaval reblogs of things I find interesting or hold beauty, to #reisaval writes where I may share things such as small snippets of my own writing or even full fanfics from things I enjoy, or #reisaval art which is primarily going to be cosplays or abstractions from the depths of my mind. I will be posting anything I want to.
Third, you are all more than welcome to ask me questions, but I reserve the right to simply not answer them if I do not want to, and they will just disappear into the void. Do not let this discourage you from asking in the first place, though, as you never know and you can't possibly know unless you take that step. Do the thing, and if you're afraid, do the thing scared. All answered questions can be found under the #reisaval answers tag!
Fourth, if you create something for me, please tag it with the tag #reisaval - the past should remain in the past as I've stated before, so if you're creating something for the past, please leave it in the old tags and do not include the new ones. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, that's for the better.
✧ If you've made it this far, I applaud you, as reading all of these words can sometimes be quite tedious, but they're all very important and I do think words hold such a power to them. I may be long winded at times, but I simply have a lot to say, as my mind drifts constantly from one thing to the next. If I don't let that out into my creations or my writing, it will have dire consequences, and I must not do that to myself. So, as a final remark, I thank you for reading. Your patience with me is greatly appreciated.
I do think it's time to redo this... new post coming soon tm.
Sooo what is the deal with you and Camron??? And you and Fang??? Is there something you're not telling us???
So. Many things about this. First, youre probably the same jackass who asked Cam this question, which he answered. Secondly, Fang and I's affection toward each other is strictly platonic. Third, I do not owe you an explanation to any of my relationships. I'm an affectionate person and so are my friends. I am not obligated to tell the internet who I am or am not friends with.
I'm especially not obligated to tell people who I'm in a relationship with. If I was dating fang, that's our business. If I *was* dating Cam, that's *our* business! No one on the internet besides my circle knows who my partners are. Im very private in that regard.
The furthest i would reveal is maybe a vague gay reply to my partners. But other than that, I dont owe you shit.

May the Fourth be with you, Crew!

hold hands with your friends. tell them you love them. do it in public. do it in private. the notion that only specific forms of affection are “okay” for friends to do is stupid and should be taken out back. i’ll do it myself if i need to
i love my friends. i pay attention to their interests and love them like i might never get to again. and people who look at two (or more) friends loving each other and go “lol are you dating” annoy me forever
because not only is it not any of your business. but why does it make you so uncomfortable that it’s only okay if they’re romantically involved. that’s a YOU problem.

i posted something like this on bsky but how many times do we have to tell you people that we don’t owe you personal information before you fucking get it through your heads
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO BEING PARASOCIAL
so much about this is pissing me off so let’s get into it. buckle up.
first off, it’s so very telling that cameron and mossy were asked, but not me, even though i was mentioned and clearly a point of interest. coward.
secondly, “is there something you’re not telling us???” YEAH. PROBABLY. BECAUSE NONE OF US OWE YOU THAT INFORMATION. you have no right to pry into our personal lives just because you think you know us. YOU DON’T. content creators are not your friends.
thirdly. why is it so unheard of to you that friends are affectionate with each other. moss and i aren’t even that openly so? we do nests and pocket time and stuff but mossy has been doing the “hold my paw” thing since we both became regulars in the same spaces. before we were even close friends. the fact that this is only surfacing now is so strange to me
your actions do not exist in a vacuum. and the fact that you likely didn’t think this would get back to anyone outside of the people you asked is very telling about you as a person.
please go outside and form real relationships. get off tumblr for a while. sit outside with a book or something. go on a walk. whatever it takes for you to start being normal to strangers on the internet.

This was a fun little reference to some of the manhwa I read to get out of artblock a bit ago, it was fun! Honestly I think I could draw Ettelia in my sleep at this point I’ve drawn her so much.
i love gurl...

HI VAMPIRE PEEPS!
Heya all!
Putting this out there with every new project I join in on.
I personally LOVE jumpscaring y'all with reblogs and likes to help share the awesome things you make, but I know not everyone likes being percieved by CCs.
I don't bite, but I get it, so if you don't want me following you / interacting with posts do #legsdni as a tag and I'll leave it alone.
See you on Sunday!
Hello all!! With The Flight starting up I figured it’s a good time to dust this off and throw out some stuff for those of you all who are finding me for the first time!
Hi!! I’m in the walls.
I live for seeing all the amazing art and stores you all tell based on the block people my friends and I portray!! I’m gonna reply, and reblog, and jumpscare y’all. I won’t make it weird if y’all don’t make it weird :)
If you specifically don’t want me interacting I have this tag. I also kindly ask to respect my boundaries which can be found on the pinned post of this blog.
Hope to see you on streams, and I can’t wait to see what y’all create!
Meet you on the moon ☾
