2022 recap

2022 is almost over, and I wanted to highlight the blaseball stuff I did this year!

First, my fics:

Hold Tightly, Hold Tightly

Everyone has that one Blaseball player that's their Blorbo. Jasper Coven is mine. I set a lot of his lore, and also contributed a lot to the Talkers' short circuit 2, Valhalifax. I really miss that team, and I really love Jasper. This is how he got the Valhalifax, and how he came to get Kiki Familia as his mentor.

Not The One That's Punishing You

Hobbs Cain talking to Greer Lott after she didn't make the Hall of Fame. I think these two could have been really good friends.

EUGENIA GARBAGE FINDS SOME CAT EARS IN A DUMPSTER AND DECIDES TO MAKE IT EVERYONE'S PROBLEM

This is not the best fic I've written, but it is my favorite. Eugenia running around and getting everyone to be a kitty cat is so much fun. This is also part of my York Silk is a furry agenda.

Drawing Moistly

My zine from the Blaseball Zine Jam, Drawing Moistly is a lot of sketches and doodles and art that didn't necessarily made it out of Orb Corner into the fanworks channel. Lots of Talkers blorbos in this one.

Bigger things:

I had the best lucky falling in with @polkadotpatterson and @mossy-kit and getting to build an amazing world together (and tricking them into being my friends). The Salt is lost short circuit that takes place in a Halifax where all the water has disappeared, leaving a vast salt flat behind, and a coven works in secret to try to bring the water back.

We're really proud of this thing we've made, and we'd love for you to read it. You can find The Salt on AO3 and downloadable on itch.io.

That other thing:

(Thanks to Spuntamatite for helping with the cover)

I finished a book this year, and it's a book that wouldn't have happened without Blaseball. I wanted to give my Blaseball OC, Oliver Trashcat, a story of his own, and what I got out of it is basically a love letter to Blaseball. There's nods to the fan culture, entire goddamn Garages lyrics, Talker arch types, and even a couple of cameos. I'm hosting it on Itch, and also posting it here one chapter at a time. It's pay what you want on Itch, which mean if you want to just download it for free, please do! I love these people and I want to share them with you all.

Thank you all for continuing to be an amazing fandom. I am all love you and I can't wait to see what we do in the new era.

Artist AU

Kamala sighed when her phone went off once more. Pulling her arm free of Eugenia, she reached over to silence it before the notification caught her eye.

“Who is it?” Eugenia asked.

“Alastair posted on TikTok. He usually never does. It isn’t even privated.”

Tapping her screen, she watched as her friend complain for a solid sixty seconds about the homophobia of not having a boyfriend to inflict his endless doodling on. Snorting, she tossed her phone to Eugenia.

“Shameless.” Her partner muttered before forwarding it to her brother.

“Alastair’s going to murder you for that,” Kamala laughed, tipping her head onto Eugenia’s fluffy hair.

“Let him try.” A hand snaked up to play with one of the stars dangling from her ear.

“He couldn’t do it from Paris anyway. You’ll likely receive a very passive aggressive text and lose his trust for maybe a day or two.”

“Paris?”

“He went there for some piece study or another- why do you have that look in your eye?”

Eugenia made a grab for her phone again, her face glimmering excitedly. “Where in Paris?”

“Near the Louvre, Eugenia-”

“Right right, but Thomas is in Paris. And if Alastair is as desperate as he was in that TikTok...”

“Oh dear. Should we really be doing this darling?”

Shaking her head Eugenia began typing out a message. Kamala wanted to be mad, she really did but sometimes it seemed like an impossible task. And who was she to deny her partner such joy? Crossing her legs she sent a message of her own.

K: Hey, do you remember that bookstore you were telling me about?

A: yes

K: Well, could you buy something for me? I need to give my professor a gift.

A: you’re paying me back.

“Well he’s a delightful person to text,” Eugenia said, resting her head on Kamala’s shoulder to read their messages. Kamala spied the address she had sent to her brother.

“Well they’re headed to the same place. We’ve basically ambushed them.”

“Lovely isn’t it? I’ll make sure to warn Tom, god knows he can’t go into this unprepared.”

~~~

Thomas loved his sister. He really did, but forcing him to leave his hotel room in the middle of the night and make an excursion to a vague bookstore for a random gift seemed very random, even for them.

Sighing he knelt next to the bookshelf sifting through the dusty papers before he heard the distant chime of the door, admitting a new customer. Glancing at his watch he frowned. The store was quite obscure; and it was an odd hour of the night. Before he could he could glance at the door, his phone went off.

“Eugenia- were there really no presents in your general vicinity?”

His sister’s laugh sounded through the device. “Not the present I want you to find.”

“What does that even-”

The customer- the only other customer in the store was standing in his aisle.

“Oh.”

“Did you find him? He’s the guy-”

“From the video- yes, yes I know.” He whispered furiously into the mic.

Thomas was unlikely to ever forget that video. He had replayed it quite a few times but he certainly hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t looked at the username so the man really was a mystery but the face was unmistakable. It was mostly obscured by waves of dark hair, long enough to tuck back but it hung loose now. For being so deep into the night the other man was dressed quite well, the faint glint of his earrings visible in the low light of the store.

“Hello?”

Nearly dropping the phone, Thomas snapped his eyes away, praying both that the man hadn’t noticed and that the flush on his face wasn’t visible.

“I’m going to murder you.”

“That’s the spirit! Don’t screw this up!” The line went flat.

A hand tapped on his arm, nearly making Thomas jump.

“Oh- sorry.” The man was standing directly in front of him now. An unplaceable accent coated his words. His face was decidedly even more breathtaking in person, sharp angles and dark eyes. Thomas stared at the light fixture before it became too evident that he was staring.

“I just needed the-” The man gestured somewhat awkwardly to the shelf between them. “My friend sent me to buy something…”

Thomas nodded wanely. “Eugenia?”

He glanced up sharply at that. “No, not Eugenia. Their girlfriend- you know Eugenia?”

“Unfortunately,” Thomas said, still averting his eyes. “I don’t think she needs you to buy anything.”

Understanding dawned on his face. “I see.”

“Right” Thomas began in a rush “We can just pretend this didn’t happen Mr…”

He shook his head. “Alastair.” Before he could be interrupted he added. “Thomas. I see now. Well if the girls worked so hard to get us here I see no reason to dismiss that effort.”

“Wait what?”

“She sent you the TikTok didn’t she? This is why all my videos are private.”

“Shame they are.” Thomas said before he could stop himself.

Alastair’s eyebrows flicked up. “Well if you saw the TikTok I assume you remember what I wanted.” He gestured, boldly tilting his face up.

Feeling his face heat up, Thomas held out his arm, silently reminding himself to not be as harsh when berating his sister for setting him up in such a fashion later. Long fingers wrapped around his forearm, considering before he felt the cold brush of a marker start to trace lines across his skin.

“I suppose not everything Eugenia plans ends in complete disaster.” Alastair said, tracing the beginnings of a rose.

“Just usually,” he responded, eliciting a laugh from the shorter man. “Would you like to meet up tomorrow? I don’t quite know my way around yet.”

Alastair's smile seemed to almost illuminate the store when he responded “I would love to.”

[Image description: three drawings of D&D characters, followed by pencil doodles of each character in a different style. The first character is a half orc with light brown skin and dark brown hair in a sloppy ponytail. He is doodled as a stick figure, smiling and winking with a cowboy hat on his head and a harmonica and slingshot in his hands. The doodle is signed "SL" in large, broad print.

The second character is a human with pale skin, curly shoulder-length blond hair, glasses, and facial scruff on their chin. They are doodled with loopy lines for hair topped with a large hair bow, wearing a simple shirt, skirt, and cape and gesturing happily. The doodle is signed "Linus Eugenia Xanthopolous" in neat, bubbly cursive.

The third character is a human with freckly, warm brown skin and shaggy reddish-brown hair, wearing a bandana that covers his forehead. He is doodled as a stylized head with large eyes, nose, and freckles, scowling and sticking out his tongue. The doodle is signed "Cyrus" in cramped, slanting print. End ID.]

I did some quick drawings for the "draw your character as they would draw themself" art meme! "SL" stands for Scout Lester; he always signs only his initials because he doesn't like writing

Ancient Greek, the language of the future

by Eugenia Manolidou, conductor.

“I read with interest Mr Dimos’s article that was published in the “Opinions” column on October 17th 2020. Please allow me some comments regarding it.”

[GEMSOFGREECE NOTE: I have read both articles and many things stated by Mr Dimos had me disagreeing or straight out displeased. Eugenia Manolidou responded with an article of her own, apparently motivated by similar feelings. I think her article is an enjoyable read and I agree on many levels while on others I can’t have an opinion due to lack of sufficient knowledge. I thought some of you would be interested in it, so I am translating the article in English. The article is informative for both Greek speakers and people interested in the Greek language and culture as well as the pronunciation of Ancient Greek. In the link, you can find the sources she used at the end of the text. I must now add that I did not necessarily expect to enjoy an article written by Mrs Manolidou (she’s well known in Greece and married to a politician) but that’s a personal impression that perhaps shouldn’t influence you. Going on with the article under the cut.]

I’ll begin with its title, “Can a dead language live again?”, which clearly refers to our language, Ancient Greek. I call it “ours” because even though we don’t comprehend it very well when reading ancient texts, we however use it in our everyday speech, even without realizing it.

For example, we might not know that the word αὐδή (avdí) means voice but we say very often “έμεινα άναυδος” (émina ánavdos = I was left speechless / voiceless). We might not know the phrase «ξύλου ἅπτεσθαι» (= knock on wood) but we always search for wood to knock when trying to avoid a bad omen.

Of course, I should not even start with the vocabulary in sciences, arts and literature because the list is endless. The Greek language is a living language that has survived not because we say so but because it remains in the international vocabulary by enriching most European languages.

Every year, students of the Classical Studies abroad rush to acquire books, teaching methods for Ancient Greek from Oxford, Cambridge and the rest acclaimed publishing companies. I will refer to the publications POLIS Institute Press of the Jerusalem Institute of Languages and Humanities with the title «Λαλεῖν τῇ κοινῇ διαλέκτῷ τῇ ζῶσῃ» (=Speaking the common living dialect). Meaning, the Common Greek, the living.

It is known that almost all schools in Europe kindle interest and enthusiasm in kids to learn the Classical Languages - and not “dead” so as to condemn them in advance - Latin and Greek. And yes in most countries they are taught with the Erasmian pronunciation because it helps them understand the dictation. Just for that. Not because they think it’s the correct pronunciation. Not anymore.

The Erasmian being an accurate description of how the ancients talked is an outdated thesis which many of the intellectuals and professors in Europe have now understood and explained. I will try to add some arguments in favor of this statement in short.

For those who don’t know, Desiderius Erasmus Roterdamus (1466 – 1536) was a Dutch monk who invented a method that would help those who learned Ancient Greek to write it down correctly. So, where someone would say “Χαίρε” (hére) and write it as «χέρε» (because that’s how it sounds), Erasmus explained that they should think of it as “háire” in order to write it correctly. But he never urged people to pronounce it like that.

Besides, in his book Colloquia Familiaria in the chapter “Echo”, he explains how to pronounce the diphthongs -onis, ονοις / -kopi, κόποι / -lici, λύκοι / -logi λόγοι/ and so on. Erasmus never said this is how Ancient Greeks talked, he just urged his students to memorize the correct dictation by ear. No European language is spoken exactly as it’s written.

We all think of such tricks to write words correctly. For instance, we think “extra-ordinary” but no fluent speaker of English pronounces it like that. Unfortunately, during the Renaissance in Europe, when the arts and literature were greatly inspired by the Greek mythology, history and philosophy, Greece under the centuries-long Turkish occupation couldn’t be a match for the rest of Europe. So when the French, German and Italian aristocrats spoke Ancient Greek to each other, we spoke a mix of Greek, Turkish and Italian, a blended language that we would hardly comprehend nowadays. And thankfully, our language survived thanks to the Church and the Scripts, which are written in Ancient Greek.

Therefore we did not know the way Ancient Greek was spoken in Europe. Here in Greece, we didn’t know. There were Greeks who didn’t live in Greece during the Ottoman rule though who knew. One of them was the priest Konstantinos Economou of Economon (1780-1857) who in his work «Περὶ τῆς Γνησίας Προφορᾶς τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς Γλώσσης» (=Regarding the Authentic Pronunciation of the Greek Language), Saint Petersburg 1829, explains why there’s no way the Ancient Greeks separated the diphthongs.

First of all, they were called “diphthongs” which means “two sounds in one”. If they don’t mean that, then why call them this way? Just like Andrea Marcolongo says in her book «La lingua geniale» , which translates to “the genius language” and not “the wonderful language”, with the subtitle «9 ragioni per amare il Greco», meaning, “9 reasons to love Greek” (Ancient Greek clearly, that’s what they always mean by “Greek” in Europe), there is no language more rich, precise and well-studied than Greek. Otherwise we wouldn’t have diphthongs, let alone a need for a diacritic mark( mark used to indicate a vowel forms its own syllable). We say «αρχαιολογία» and in English it’s archaeology, «παλαιοντολογία» and it’s «paleontology». But we say «αρχαϊκό» (note the diacritic) and in English it’s «archaic».

Let’s examine some more words: We say «ατμόσφαιρα» which in Latin is atmosfera. We say αίνιγμα, in latin it’s enigma. We say ενέργεια, in latin “energia” / αιθήρ, in Latin etere / Aίγυπτος, Egitto / μυστήριο, mistero / φαινόμενο, phenomenon / εγκυκλοπαίδεια, enciclopedia. The list is long and if we get ourselves into the scientific vocabulary (ginecologo, ematologo, pediatro), we will never end with this. In short, Latin, a “sister” language to Greek, saved through itself the pronunciation of Ancient Greek.

One more argument: the Greek words can be stressed exclusively in three syllables: the ultimate, the penultimate or the antepenultimate. If we separate the diphthongs, the punctuation gets out of hand. So instead of “hérete”, we would say “háirete” which is obviously wrong. With the separation of the diphthongs, the Dactylic Hexameter (the rhythmic scheme of Ancient Greek epic poetry) would collapse. Perhaps you’ve heard the attempts of the Europeans to recite the Iliad or the Odyssey.

Homer’s poetic epic has a completely different sound due to the loss of the Hexameter. Besides, just like Erasmus said and Economou quotes in his book: «Conducendus aliquis, natione Graecus, licet alioquin parvum eruditus, propter nativum illum ac patrium sonum, ut castigate graeca sonari dicantur.» Meaning, “Call someone, Greek in nation, even with little or no education, for that native sound, so that you learn the exact and natural pronunciation of Greek.”

What’s truly pitiful in this situation is not how foreigners learn to speak Ancient Greek. The true shame is that such a beautiful, rich and living language, our language, is more appreciated, loved and respected abroad than in Greece. I admire the people who try so hard to learn a language for which they don’t even know the alphabet. And yet they try, they learn it, they speak it, they teach it and that’s why the big publishing companies still publish teaching methods for Ancient Greek.

In the foreign universities, most professors teaching Ancient Greek are foreign. Foreign professors tutoring foreign students. It’s them who come to Greece for vacation and crowd our monuments and museums, which are right on our feet and yet we consider a visit there as a nuisance. If we truly want to love our language, our history and culture, we should be taught Ancient Greek from a young age, as a living language, like they do abroad.

With simple, comprehensible texts, from the mythology, from Aesop, from simple sayings and delphic orders, our language is full of them. So instead of occupying ourselves with whether Homer’s sheep cried “vee” or “beh” and instead of trying to decode why the Greek rooster says kokoriko while the English rooster says Cock-a-doodle-doo - he does neither - let’s try to make our children understand the importance, the meaning and the symbolism of the Naval Battle of Salamís instead of a plain «ὦ παῖδες Ἑλλήνων, ἴτε» (= O children of the Greeks, arise), dry and withered.
