Cardassian conlang (part 1?)

Finally started making my Cardassian conlang and I'm having so much fun already. Get this:

There's a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession, something that occurs in many natural languages. An example is, like, "my nose" vs "my hat". My nose is inalienable because it will always be mine, while my hat is alienable because it can stop being mine. So in languages with this distinction, you'd use different words for "my" in those two situations.

In my Cardassian language, possession is indicated with suffixes attached to nouns and people's names. People are "possessed" in the sense that, y'know, they're your mom or your friend or your orthodontist or whatever. Generally, you'd use the alienable form for people. Your orthodontist might not always be your orthodontist, your friend might not always be your friend. The exception is that you always use the inalienable form(s) for family. Your mom will always be your mom.

So, to use the inalienable possessive for a friend would be to say that they are as close to you as family, that you trust that they will always be your friend. This is often, like, a milestone in dating. To start saying "my girlfriend (inalienable)" marks that your relationship is serious. (Traditionalists will say that you shouldn't use the inalienable form until you're properly betrothed, but kids these days have their own ideas.) In this way, it becomes a pretty straightforward term of endearment (or, rather, grammatical particle of endearment).

Since there's no equivalent in Federation Standard, the translator often renders it as "my dear."

Here's a table of the 10 different words for "my"

So, presuming that the speaker is a man, and the person they're referring to is also a man who they don't have to use the honorific form with...

/alʊk/ - "friend"

/alʊkɬei/ - "my friend"

/alʊkxa/ - "my dear friend"

/ilɨm̥xa/ - "my dear Elim"

#no I don't know what I'm doing but I'm having so much fun hehehe #disclaimer: so much respect to the awesome cardassian conlangs that already exist and the ppl who made them!! #not trying to step on any toes I just thought it'd be fun to make my own :)) #these r the first words I've come up with after settling on a phonemic inventory. which was fun in and of itself #THERE R EJECTIVES !!! ISNT THAT COOL !!!!! also no voicing distinction and nasals r usually voiceless #anyways. honorifics r mostly abt age I think. but also social class and rank probably #I like how the casual forms don't distinguish the speaker's gender. reflects that gender differences r more pronounced in formal situations #cardassians #ds9 #asit #star trek #elim garak #narcissus's echoes #q's cardassian conlang

tfw you're at a ball and someone asks if you know how to waltz and you say yes but then you get on the floor and discover that she knows only modern waltz and you know only 1860s waltz

there is no box step in 1860s waltz

#historical dance #ballroom #ballroom dance #the basic idea is the same but. there's me following and trying to start with a step straight forward onto my right foot #and banging into her knee because she is not doing the diagonal step to the side with her left foot that I was expecting #I know so many cool variations! ...assuming we're doing a mid-19th-century waltz! and if we're not I will step on your toes like a beginner #I could learn. I just...haven't had a reason to yet.

The “badboyhalo is dappers egg” jokes rub me the wrong way. It does two things, devalue the amount of work qbbh puts in to being a good caretaker and specifically dad for pomme and dapper while also forcing dapper in to the role of an adult. Dapper (and pomme) were forced to grow up really quickly being the last two eggs with two lives. People will ask dapper for things and favors all the time to the point where the poor egg felt stretched thin. I feel like people neglect to realize dapper is still just a baby because he doesn’t show his childish mannerisms in public as much as he does with the late night crew but he still is very much so a kid. I know it’s not that deep but the other day with bagi and tina made me see how new islanders didn’t see the same struggles old islanders did and so they were finding some truth in the joke that isn’t really there imo. Bagi hitting him with the frying pan saying who is he to talk when she takes care of two kids or Tina about her concerns with bad right in front of his son as if he was not there. It felt like dapper wasn’t seen as a son in those moments.

#tina neg #bagi neg #I don’t mean to be negative towards them bc I can absolutely understand where they’re coming from but I’m not trying to step on any toes #so tagged with neg anyway

how is it that Chakotay is supposed to be Kathryn's best friend and 'person she trusts most' when so far he's argued against every decision she's made and strategy she's proposed?? like, they're constantly claiming in the writer that they're a great team from s2 on but it's not actually shown at all 😂

#st:voy #character theory: janeway #i'm not sure how to tag this i'm not trying to impugn his fans or anything #it's just funny that it's such a distinct 'told not shown' problem #anti chakotay #<- for safety. idk feel free to tell me about the voy tagging conventions so i don't step on toes!

hey just so you all know, it is possible to acknowledge how often hsy is sidelined in fandom because of joongdok without being a...lesbophobe? how did you even come to this conclusion in a yaoi related poll. quit that shit. this has been a psa <3

#some of yall are toeing the lineee is2g #not every sangsoo fic/art is because of joongdok in fact i would say the Vast Majority arent from what ive seen #it does exist dgmw but it is extremely rare that i see any joongdok content that's like 'hsy is a lesbian btw'-- #--and then leaves her out of the story #like. you are cherrypicking if you're trying to posit that as a trend lmao #as far as hsy-sidelined-by-joongdok content goes #usually they just. leave her out of the story they dont bother to use her being a lesbian as a cover for it #some of yall are acting like anyone with a lesbian hsy hc is nefarious and i need you to step back and think about why thats kinda bonkers #ky speaks #do i dare leave this one rebloggable...oh well que sera sera #something something why are we pitting two bad bitches against each other lesbian hsy and bi hsy are both great

there's an alternate reality where this vegas:

and this pete:

most definitely fuck.

#i have a scenario in my head where the bodyguard disperse to find porsche and as vegas is heading out back to main foyer area #he bumps into pete and pete just looks at him with disgust and knows vegas is Upto Some Shit and porsche disappearing is bc of him #and vegas who's already Mad does not need pete to be looking at him like that so he spits out a 'what the fuck are you staring at?' #and pete just cuts to the chase and asks vegas 'where the fuck is he i know you're upto some shit.' and vegas just smirks and says 'who?' #whilst he steps closer to him until he's trapped pete up against a wall and leans into his ear and says 'who pete?' #and pete spits back in vegas' face how 'i know you've got your eyes on him. don't think i haven't been watching your every move.' #and at first it feels like a bucket of ice water has been thrown on vegas but then he composes himself and says #'why? are you jealous?' at which pete just scoffs. and then vegas tries again and says 'or do you like what you see? the thrill of it? #eyeing me just to see what i do next?' #and pete doesnt respond. just bites the inside of his cheek. bc there is a thrill to it #but he is not gonna give vegas the satisfaction. and yet all vegas has to do is look at pete as he clenches his jaw and he gets his answer #and then vegas just rakes his eyes all over pete's body and says 'you've never looked so good'. #and pete isnt gonna get distracted by the fact that vegas of all people is telling him this. so he asks again 'where is he?' #and vegas just tuts and steps even closer and presses their bodies together and says 'fuck him. i'm talking about us. #stop being so fucking good all the time pete. doesnt it get tiring?' #and pete's trying to stay focused on the task at hand here and he knows exactly what vegas is doing as vegas carries on saying #'don't you wanna be bad sometimes pete? what if i let you be that with me? no one has to know.' #and the invitation sounds so tempting. the prospect of it. that he should be with kinn doing his job but instead he's fucking his cousin #and just being the centre of attention for once. being vegas' centre of attention .... it makes pete's toes curl. #and vegas glances down at pete's mouth that's fallen slightly open. and its so pretty. so pretty that he has to touch it. and as he does #pete opens his mouth wider and vegas runs his thumb along pete's entire bottom lip. and he can feel pete breathing hard. #'you want this.' vegas says. 'look how you open up your mouth for me so pretty to have more.' #and now vegas is calling him pretty too and pete's resolve is breaking brick by brick until he moans when vegas wraps his hand around his #throat and vegas says 'i wanna taint you so bad that you'd have to wear this to cover the bruises on your neck. and the next time i see you #i'd do it all over again.' and pete asks in a barely there voice 'next time?' and vegas smirks and leans into pete's ear and says #'if its what you want. because i do. i wanna see you be bad for me. just for me. i want you to come to me only. for me only.' #and then vegas bites down on the skin there making pete clutch onto vegas' blazer and as divine as vegas looks pete wants to rip it off. #and just as he's about to do something about it vegas steps back leaving pete's arm mid air. and pete hates that. and vegas sees it all #over his face and says 'what do you say pete? you either leave with me right now or you can go back and be the good little boy they think #you are.' and vegas holds out his hand. and no one's ever treated pete like this before. so he takes it. and lets vegas take him.

I hope people know that my Icemav raised Bradley AUs are literally just that- AUs. Alternate universes. They didn’t happen in canon. They happened in my brain. And on Ao3 where I posted them. I’m fully aware that’s not what happens in canon and I respect that 🙏🏻

#I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes 😭 #I really hope what im writing isn’t offending anyone #I write for me and for fun and I respect that my stories are different from the real ones #wanted to make it clear that I’m not trying to change canon #carol Bradshaw is a wonderful character and I don’t want to disrespect her

I'm quite surprised by the popularity of the 'Supernatural is a show full of queer people (and Sam)' idea. (Full disclaimer I'm coming at this with full knowledge of only early seasons). Just to be clear, you see characters however the fuck you like, I just think exploring the idea of queer Sam would be really interesting!

Sam grows up feeling inherently different/ seperate from everyone around him, family and strangers alike. He's disowned for wanting a life that defies familial expectations and is repeatedly rejected/derided because of aspects of himself completely outside his control. He also shows incredible empathy for those he meets who are othered for any reason. Exploring how being queer would factor into all of this would just be really interesting imo.

So yea, queer Sam.

#sam winchester #supernatural #spn #sam meta #im really not trying to step on any toes here i just think its a idea with potential maybe? #queer sam winchester

I have the Lord of the Rings extended edition and I’m going to walk on the treadmill for 2.5 hours straight while watching it today to see if I have enough endurance now to do 20,000 steps a day

#we’ll find out #I can’t wait to try #I’ve got soda bread in the oven and crepes in the fridge and I have groceries again and I walked 17 #*17600 steps yesterday and am almost completely settled back in after last week’s stuff #and I cleaned a little bit and will clean a little bit more #and then do my strength training for pt and then do my walking and then take a bath and then read LOTR fanfiction and go to bed #this work week is going to beeping bc of how much happened last week while I was out and the technical difficulties that went down #but it’s going to be okay if I go into it fed well-rested and already put out to pasture for some exercise #personal #something painful and weird did just happen with my thumb but it’s fine again now so I’m going to choose to believe things are fine #and they probably are and will be! #and I’m doing all this in vibram toe shoes and some shortfalls #*shortalls #which is coincidental but soooooo in line with hobbit vibes it just enhances the experience I bet #I’ll report back!

Hello 🎬👋!! Haha, I’m glad you enjoyed the thoughts, I loved these so much! Thank you!

LMAO I think a few of them would have real good taste in song titles, but others… not so much 😅 I actually think Yuno would have some pretty solid ideas. Though Haruka has some nice thoughts too, I heard both his titles are specific plays on words that I don’t think he’d come up with himself…

Omg yes! The prisoners would have such a good time planning mv outfits! I can definitely see it being bittersweet for Fuuta – exasperated by, but also homesick because, they all remind him so much of his sister ;-; Mahiru is devastated she's not getting a new outfit for I Love You and so she enjoys styling vicariously through helping the others. Shidou’s outfit was even more painfully Dad before the group helped tone it down. Before the mv color scheme was decided, they cycle through a few different colored marching band uniforms for Amane. Muu doesn’t quite understand the flower dress, but the team promises her it will all come together to look great.

>:O The birthday art can be au canon!! The previously mentioned fashion crew makes everyone dress up like their cake, and designer Mikoto photoshops them into a pic of it aww. Even after watching the t1 videos, it would be the nicest they've seen everyone get dressed up. They're shocked seeing the boys clean up so nicely in their suits, and the girls are just shining in their fancy dresses and heels. And maybe Es’ “birthday” pic was a pre-experiment candid shot of them chillin with the bunny off set :’)

On a slightly darker note, I wonder if those pv shots of the restraints are canon too. Milgram had a few ideas for worst-case restraints and took a few shots for reference during an early fitting…

ADFGGH rip Haruka 😂😂😂 I love the idea of a whole group of them sneaking around looking for tasty goo and fun props, and instead stumbling upon The Mannequin Room. And waait I'm so emotional over Kazui loosening up and having a bit of fun with his tricks :’D With all the themes about certain characters growing up faster than they should, it would be so lovely to see them giggling and messing around in a blooper reel! I’m imagining someone trying to twirl Amane’s baton as well as her and epically failing at it.

Yeah, I have a lot of different predictions for Amane’s t3 changes – but no matter what happens, she starts accepting help just a little bit more behind the scenes >:) It’ll still take her a really long time to break away from the cult’s beliefs (no one in the cast/team really knows proper cult deprogramming strategies at this point, but they start looking into it as soon as the experiments ends.) Still, she finds a balance of keeping most of her religion and also realizing that the others genuinely care for her. 

And oooh I really like that 👀 I always pictured the prisoner Es hints to be leading toward them being a prisoner in the future (accused of executing prisoners), but that would add so much more drama if it relates to a past imprisonment. The ten would make a perfect heist team, hacking the system, snooping around, and charming facility members in order to find paperwork detailing past experiments featuring Es. And Kotoko would certainly be leading the investigation – I love how closely she’s monitoring everything, it would fit so well if she were the one to see the truth first. Between the realization that Milgram hasn’t been fully honest, and the threat that Es may be there for even longer, the jailbreak would erupt much quicker than the current timeline. Although the au is nicer overall, I really like keeping Milgram a pretty shady organization hehe 

#milgram #omg these are all awesome! #now im imagining a stereotypical blooper reel and crying :') #i love that official art of es -- its so sweet ough #i have so many amane thoughts.... itll be really interesting to see what happens #(and then immediately sitting down to try and fix it without stepping on canons toes LOL) #thank you for sending!! this had my brain buzzing with possible endings 🤔 #i wrote the last chapter of the fic knowing it may need little adjustments once the final things air #but it was fun to think about things turning out drastically different #im glad people were entertained by the song titles -- i had a ton of fun with them asdfasd #lights camera sing your sins #ask

wednesday will never trust tyler again after the season one finale because her relationships are built on loyalty and mutual understanding, and tyler played her from the beginning and hurt everyone she cares about. in this essay i will

#might actually write it #jk...unless??? #i dont see them ever becoming anything more than enemies with a common goal/enemy working together #every action or reaction she has is a result of whether she can trust the person she's interacting with or not #and what tyler did is not a good foundation for any relationship #saw people saying wednesday likes someone who would keep her on her toes and how that's tyler #but he literally betrayed her every step of the way so I can't agree #i'm not trying to cause any issues genuinely just my opinion #wednesday series #wednesday addams #tyler galpin #anti tyler galpin #anti wyler #evyn speaks
