Pinned post

Hi! My name is Arcee and I am a worldbuilder with a BIG interest in neography.

This blog is nothing more than a stash of ALL of my neographies that I have documented since I began doing neography by the beginning of 2022. You can view the scripts faster by using the archive.

Mainer blog is @thecrazyworldbuilder, visit it and also my other blogs, @444names, @cryptolangsguy, @schooloftieflings and @verical.

I will begin listing my neographies from the very beginning of the documented list, tagging each with the blog's tag, as well as couple more.

I have open commissions for artistic designs using my neographies, or I can create a neographic script for you!

If the project takes less than an hour to finish, you get the end result free of charge (accepting tips, you pay what you think the script is worth), longer than that depends on the amount of symbols and time spent designing the script; the standard English alphabet cipher with 26 symbols costs 30$.

On my pfp is Ahimiko, the mascot of this blog. She is an anthro canine of mixed heritage, and is a powerful symbolomancer (mage specializing in casting via projecting symbols of different kinds: the stronger the symbolism, the deeper the mysticism, and the more complex the symbol the more precise and specific is the spell she casts). Say hi! :D

Most of my scripts are purely ciphers for English. I do not care to make conlangs for every single one of them, for I enjoy the act of creation.

On creation: Some anon asked for the methods I use to create cohesive and constant-style scripts. A good post on my other blog might help, listing the methods.

NOTE THAT ALL OF MY CREATIONS ARE FREE TO USE, BUT YOU MUST CREDIT ME AS THE CREATOR/NOTIFY ME BEFORE USING THEM IN YOUR COMIC, ART, BOOK OR ANYTHING

As well - feel free to ask for assistance and guidance in usage of my scripts in DMs; Some of them lack explanation, and might be bit confusing.

ASK BOX RULES:

Refrain from using anonymous asks, since it cuts off the possibility of me responding more directly into your DMs if I deem them impossible to answer via post and won't be able to notify you about it, making me look rude.

You can send positive feedback - it will be stored in the bottom of this post (see below).

You can send requests for scripts, like "Futhark but more like Ogham", or "a Katakana chart inspired by Klingon". Those are free, unlike the commissions, hence I am not required to do adjustments, follow the idea 1:1, nor I am required to make them in the first place.

Don't ask for tips, guidance, or tutorials: This blog is purely an archive of my works. If you need help, go to @conlangcrab where I will answer your asks directly, just remember to address them to "Arcee", since the blog is run by two people there.

Updates on this post below:

I make neographic scripts for already existing writing systems (like Latin or Katakana) because I can't create a conlang for every single aesthetic I can come up with for a writing system.

By Ides of March, 2023, this blog has 350 distinct scripts documented, all created by me.

A pinterest user has been repeatedly stealing my works I've posted on Reddit without notifying or crediting me.

By 4/4/2023, there are over 400 scripts documented.

By 3rd of May, there are over 500 scripts documented.

By 27 of June, there are exactly 600 scripts documented.

By 7th of July, there are exactly 700 scripts documented.

By 25th of August, there are exactly 800 scripts documented.

Another pinterest user has been stealing my works from Reddit.

By 17th of October, there are exactly 900 scripts documented.

By 12th of November, there are exactly 1000 scripts documented.

By 23rd of December, there are exactly 1100 scripts documented.

By 2/10/2024, there are exactly 1200 scripts documented.

By 3/29/2024, there are exactly 1300 scripts documented.

Positive anon asks under the cut (you are encouraged to send more!)

Sure thing! Thank you UwUb

Thanki ;w;b Well, I do have some WIP or UFO (never meant to be finished WIPs) conlangs, but I don't have scripts for them really. I do ciphers because they are A) Simple to make, B) Are a good display of just enough symbol styles for a demonstration of an idea, thus, a good "advertisement" for my product, which are neographies.

QoQb I will never stop indeed, as long as I can move my hands xD

In fact I answered this one, but didn't say thanks for the warm words Q~Qb

please for the love of all fuck explain mcyt to me

Omg I've been waiting for this

So mcyt means minecraft youtube, but usually also includes Twitch streamers. It's like a in general thing, and not pointing to anything specific

But since you sound so confused, I'm gonna explain to you the Dream SMP lore 'cause why not

TL;DR: Chaos and war, basically also like a hamilton, heathers, and les mis crossover (but i mean if you want to understand everything you should read.)

If theres spelling mistakes, sorry

Note: Everyone on the smp has three canon lives, and when you loose all three you're canonically dead (except philza minecraft. he has one canon life bc hes known as the hardcore guy bc he had a minecraft hardcore series for 6 years until he was killed by a spider while trying to fight a baby zombie lmaoooooo)

IMPORTANT: THIS IS ALL RP. IRL THEY’RE ALL FRIENDS. THERES A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PLAYER AND THE CHARACTER. THE RELATIONSHIPS AREN’T ACTUALLY TOGETHER IRL. ITS ALL THEIR CHARACTERS THAT THEY MADE UP. (obviously the best friends stuff are irl)

In the beginning there were 8: The Dream Team (Dream, Georgenotfound [the guy in my pfp btw :)] , Sapnap), Badboyhalo, Awesamdude, Ponk, Callahan, and Alyssa. Around this time, nothing much happened since it was all brand new, uhh yeah (this was around may-july of this year)

Then around late july new members joined: Tommyinnit, Tubbo, Wilbur Soot, Eret, Skeppy, Fundy, Punz, Purpled, and Schlatt. This part is very important to the lore, because the lore kinda started off with the british (so tommy, tubbo, wilbur, eret) Schlatt was banned, cause Sapnap was the one who invited him and Dream didn't know who he was. He'll come up later.

So Wilbur and Tommy decided to create a new nation called "L'Manberg". Also around this time (i think) Nihachu and Jack Manifold joined. They also were part of L'Manberg. There was this huge revolution between Dream Smp and L'Manberg. Very historical period on this smp. In the end, (i think it was?) L'Manberg who won (if memory serves).

After that, L'Manberg had started growing bigger, with a lot more buildings added and stuff, notably Church Prime, which where they created a religion for Twitch Prime, which is how you can sub to your favorite twitch streamer for free if you link your amazon prime account. I'm pretty sure around this time, Quackity, Karl Jacobs (if you watch Mr. Beast; yes, that karl jacobs), HBomb, Technoblade, and Antfrost joined. And then the railway war started. It happened when Tommy accidentally ran over Dream with a Minecart and then took his stuff. This is how the disc war started (once again, if memory serves). The two discs Tommy owns are his prized possesions, and Dream took them. Also around this time the Pet War started, with Sapnap killing someones(i forgot oops) pet. And then more pet killing. Annnnd then even more.

Then there was the L'Manberg eletion. There was POG2020, who was Wilbur and Tommy, SWAG2020, Quackity and George, Coconut2020, Fundy and Nihachu, and Schlatt2020 which was Schlatt. Oh yeah and he got unbanned btw

SWAG2020 and Schlatt2020 decided to combine their votes, thus Shclatt became president and Quackity his vp. Oh and ever since the election Quackity has this grudge against George bc he slept through the election. Schlatt renamed L'Manberg to Manberg, and exiled Tommy and Wilbur from it.

Schlatt is a evil dictator who likes power. He and Quackity started fighting, and so Quackity became part of Tommy and Wilbur's side. Around this time was The Battle of the Lake and The Burning Eiffel Tower, both part of the pet war. (It seems like a innocent war but its actually brutal lmao) Also (irl) Mr. Beast had a $10,000 Taco Bell gift card hunt. Eret won. It was at the cords 6969,420, because haha funny number haha weed number. This has nothing to do with the lore but yeah. Eret also became King of the SMP

Then there was the Manberg festival. It was to celebrate democracy, but Tubbo puts it as "i decorated my own execution" bc he helped decorate it, but he was murdered there. At the festival was the Manberg Massicare, where Technoblade was forced to shoot tubbo, but he released a firework rocket kiling Tubbo, Schlatt, Quackity, and a few others. Many people lost one of their canon lives. Wilbur went all J.D like and planted 11 stacks of TNT underneath Manberg, and wanted to blow it up.

Pogtopia was formed, which is a ravine which i think is underneath? manberg? Which included basically everybody who wasn't neutral or with schlatt. On November 16 was the Manberg VS Pogtopia war, but the Badlands were also there. The Badlands is a nation of four people: Bbh, Skeppy, Awesamdude, and Antfrost. They faught with the loosing side, so the chaos could continue. Eret disobeyed Dream and got stripped of his royalty, and gave it to George. Oh and during this time, George had no idea there was a war and was building a cottagecore mushroom house with callahan and was very confused with all the death messages in the chat. Schlatt died canonically of a heart attack or stroke (no one knows tbh). Tommy became president, passed it to wilbur bc he still has unfinished buissness with dream (the discs), and wilbur passed it to Tubbo, who made Tommy his vp. Technoblade then argued about how government is bad, and they're just repeating history. Philza Minecraft joined the server, but no one could find him, until Wilbur blew up L'Manberg (they rechanged the name also). Wilbur then made Philza kill him, so Wilbur also became canonically dead. Then Techno, still mad at L'Manberg and governments, summoned two withers and made it attack the others. The Geogre decided to check out what was happening and helped fight. After the chaos, Captain Puffy and ConnorEatsPants joined the smp. About one to two weeks later Vikkstar and LazarBeam joined, then about three months after that Ranboo joined.

They rebuilt L'Manberg on stilts, and there water where the explosion was, but now with coral and stuff to make it all pretty. Tommy and Ranboo decided to go steal from Georges mushroom house, but then also griefed it and burnt it, and Dream, being a George simp, built obsidian walls around L'Manberg. They took Tommy to court, and was put on probation. Then Tommy got exiled (again) but this time by his own best friend. This made Quackity vp and Fundy secutary of state. Dream also took Georges king thing and gave it back to Eret because Eret has a good relationship with everybody, whereas George being King just caused chaos cause hes close to Dream. Quackity and Karl made Mexican L'Manberg, and George and Sapnap joined in also. War against Dream SMP, it was a negotiation and it got renamed into El Rapids (reference to Chilling in Cedar Rapids, which Hilary Clinton once said, and Quackity referenced it, got it trending #1 one twitter (well i mean dsmp gets things trending like everyday but), and got DONALD TRUMP TO SUBTWEET HIM. (This happened irl)

In his exile, Ghostbur (wilbur as ghost) and Tommy made Logstedshire, and Dream was often there to watch him. Dream then blew it up, and now Tommy is living with Techno in his arctic place. Currently, Quackity made a thing called The Butcher Army, so they could execute Techno. Tubbo, Quackity, Fundy, and I also think Ranboo? are trying to get another festival, and yes its a secret execution plan, but for them to kill Dream, who they realized is who they need to kill first. The disc war is still not over. Tommy has one of his discs, but Skeppy is in possesion of the other one.

Unluckily for Tommy (reguarding the discs), something happened in the Badlands. Bbh was digging out his underground statue room (he plans to make a statue of everyone of the server) and found this crimson egg. He, Antfrost, and Captain Puffy kinda got possesed. Also since Skeppy didn't really hang out on the server at night, but bbh does (OF FUCK I FORGOT TO MENTION HE AND BBH ARE BEST FRIENDS) Captain Puffy created Discount Skeppy, which is her in a Skeppy skin. Skeppy found out, had a little conflict with her during her stream, but it was resolved, and at one point in the stream, he asked bbh to choose between him and the egg, and when bbh didn't answer, he went to the egg, put himself inside it, and logged off. Couple days later, bbh and puffy got him out, hes now possed by the crimson, called Technoblade his "best friend" infront of bbh, and is now living in a grass hut. Bad is convinced theres still some skeppt left, but yeah. Skeppy also wanted to burn the disc.

End of lore for now, bc its like if you miss ONE STREAM YOU MISS LIKE A REALLY IMPORTANT EVENT AND ITS STRESSFUL

Not much part of lore but Nihachu and Captain Puffy once went on a date. They’re both bi irl and Puffy was on Nihachu’s Love or Host (twitch dating show. its really entertaining) Captain Puffy was a contestant, and chose love. (LoH is also how Nihachu and Wilbur met.)

Funfact: Theres 5 irl lgbtq+ ppl on the server (people who came out, anyways cause you never know, ya know?) Antfrost is gay, Eret, Nihachu, Captain Puffy are all bi, and Karl Jacobs is ace spec

Family stuff: Philza Minecraft (he'll come up later) had two twins with a Samsung Smart Refrigerator in the 70's. The two twins being Wilbur and Technoblade (he'll come up later also) and also had another son, Tommy. They also adopted Tubbo, who they found in a box on the side of the road. When he grew up, Wilbur met Sally the Salmon, and they had a fox together (dont ask just go with it), which was Fundy. (The character) Fundy is trans, and yeah . Bbh is a dad to sapnap and yeah

Oh and a new member is coming on today on Quackity’s stream (twitch.tv/quackityhq at 5pm CST if you want to watch)

I left out some parts, sorry, but theres always the wiki...

Wilbur Soot is also a musician! He wrote I’m In Love With an Egirl, The Internet Ruined Me, and Your New Boyfriend. (did you know the last one beat taylor swift for #1 trending on youtube? idk why but im really proud of him for that) They’re all catJam’s. Go listen!

7. why did you choose your header? I don't really have a header, but I made my background to reflect my multi-fandom hyperfixations

I was tagged by @heytheredeann, thank you! This is gonna be a little embarassing because my blog is only less than a year old, but whatevs.

1. Why did you choose your url? - It’s a variant of chamel (my AO3 username) and refers to Charadrius melodius, the Piping Plover

2. Any side blogs? - Nope, this is my one and only.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr? - Since July of 2020 lol.

4. Do you have a queue tag? - Nope. I freely admit I barely know How To Tumblr, and the queue is one thing that I just don’t understand the point of lol. I reblog ad hoc.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place? - Looking for fandom community. I knew some other writers who had tumblrs, so I joined because I felt like I was missing out on something by only hanging around AO3.

6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp? - I strongly identify with Carol so when I wanted to choose a character to represent me I chose her. Also this particular shot of her with skeptical face and short hair particularly encapsulates me, lol.

7. Why did you choose your header? - Napoleon and Illya on the vespa is preeeetty much my favorite. Gotta have my OTP up there, watching over things.

8. What’s your post with the most notes? - This fanart I commissioned of a scene from one of my fics.

9. How many mutuals do you have? - Around 20

10. How many followers do you have? - Uh, 123 apparently? Which I know is small potatoes, but it’s a lot for me, lol! I feel honored that many people put up with me. Thank you all!

11. How many people do you follow? - 30

12. Have you ever made a shitpost? - Hmm. Maybe? Idk the strict definition of a shitpost. I may be too old for this, lol.

13. How often do you use Tumblr each day? - I check in a few times a day

14. Did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? - Not on tumblr, though I participated in a flame war or two back in the day *shakes my cane at you*. I’m too jaded to get in arguments on the internet anymore, lol.

15. How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts? - I agree that no one should feel pressured to reblog anything. My blog is my blog, and it’s also my sanctuary against the outside world, so I’m only going to reblog stuff I like. But if people think it’s important to reblog on THEIR blogs, more power to them.

16. Do you like tag games? - Obviously, lol. I almost always respond to tag games unless I feel like it’s going to jeopardize my anonymity in some way.

17. Do you like ask games? - I LOVE ask games, lol. I reblog them a lot, usually ones about writing. And I’m thrilled when people ask me things!

18. Which of your mutuals do you think is Tumblr famous? - Obviously Ely! But really I don’t have any idea lol.

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual? What mutual don’t I have a crush on <– stealing this answer lol.

No pressure tags: @mandalorianess, @flipredmonkey, @mykaijusizefeels, @therogueheart

Canadian Money Management Advice

Everyone can improve on managing money. Even if you think you are doing a perfect job managing your money because you have read books, have a financial adviser, or follow financial experts you can still improve. The Globe and Mail have asked several experts this exact question: “If I could change one thing about how Canadians manage money, it would be to”. The answers they got were informational and unique. I advise everyone to look over the advice given because it is rare to have several experts give an answer to a very asked question. A question that has been asked already answered is “Should I consolidate my loans if I have bad credit?”. The answer is almost always yes. Managing money can be complex and difficult without any resources and that is why Loan Away has gathered the best sources to answer “If I could change one thing about how Canadians manage money, it would be to”.

Canada’s advisers reveal their best suggestions for managing your money in 2018

The people who have seen you naked, financially speaking, have some ideas about how you can better manage your money in 2018.

Financial planners and investment advisers in my LinkedIn network were asked a few weeks ago to complete this thought: “If I could change one thing about how Canadians manage money, it would be to…” Here are some highlights from 199 comments covering a great range of topics, starting off with overspending and undersaving.

Note the sense of urgency in many of these comments. Taken together, they suggest a genuine sense of worry about excessive spending and not enough saving and investing. Cynics will say advisers are just prospecting for more money to invest with their suggestions, but that’s an evasion. Given the record household-debt levels in this country, all ideas for improving our finances deserve a hearing.

Here’s how the planners and advisers answered the question:

“Have them save 10 per cent of their T4 income first, and enjoy spending the rest.” (note: The T4 is a tax slip documenting how much gross income you were paid by an employer) -Barry Rebuck, adviser

“Have them learn to live on 80 per cent of their after-tax income and save the rest for retirement.” -Brenda Antonyshyn, chartered financial analyst (CFA)

“Have them live below their means. Simplify their financial lives and stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. The Joneses are in debt.” -Cheryl Campbell, certified financial planner (CFP)

“To have them ensure their cost of living never exceed their actual revenues.” -Mathieu Joubert, certified public accountant

“Understand that FOMO – fear of missing out – is driving many of your money decisions.” -Meghan Chomut, CFP

“Don’t fall into the trap of using your home equity line of credit as your personal ATM. Budgeting instead of borrowing. Understand the real cost of ‘buy now, pay later.’” -Karen Sage, CFP

“Stop spending money you don’t have to buy crap you don’t need to impress people you don’t know.” -Robert Gignac, financial industry speaker and author

“Plan for the unexpected. Life will throw you a curve ball – new roof, sickness, disability, etc.” -Angel Georgijev-Low, CFP

“Understand that paying off debt is the only guaranteed positive rate of return.” -John Harvey, manager of public investments at Nunavut Trust

“If I could change one thing about how Canadians manage money, it would be invest in themselves before investing in a portfolio. The greatest return is an investment in your skills and your greatest earning power comes from those skills. Invest in yourself first and allow the dividends from that investment to fund your portfolio.” -Lampros Parousis, private client wealth adviser

On the role of housing in your investment planning:

“Understand that an investment in real estate is NOT guaranteed to go up.” -Amandeep Sangha, CFA

On investing:

“Realize that Canada is only 3.2 per cent of world capital markets and a very poorly diversified index. [It] lacks health care and technology exposure, two huge growth sectors for decades to come.” -Larry Berman, chief investment officer, ETF Capital Management

“To not be overweighted in Canadian bank stocks.” -Connie Brown, chartered market technician (CMT)

“Understand that investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Do not allow irrational and impulsive emotions to alter your long-term plan.” -Aleem Israel, CFA

“Understand the compounding effect fees have on your long-term returns. For most people, they can save hundreds and thousands of dollars by moving to lower fee products.” -Steve Bridge, money coach

On retirement:

“To have a better understanding of how much you really need to save in order to retire comfortably. Find an adviser who asks you what your goals and values are and who doesn’t just focus on performance and fees.” -Julie Reimer, CFP

“To plan on living (and working) a lot longer than your parents’ generation.” -Marc Vincelli, statistical consultant

“To retire when you have practised living on your retirement budget. I have seen people fairly adamant that their grocery budget for two adults would be $300 a month. Perhaps I need to take some shopping lessons from them!” -Margaret Clarke, personal financial planner (PFP)

On working with an adviser:

“Ask questions and be engaged – financial/retirement planning is a team sport.” -Derrick Lindsay, financial adviser

Informational to say the least right? The advice that Loan Away commends the most is the advice by Brenda Antonyshyn. She said “Have them learn to live on 80 per cent of their after-tax income and save the rest for retirement”. Imagine if you had 20% of your net income invested over a lifetime? You would probably retire with over 1 million dollars if everything was invested and had an average rate of 7%. The possibilities are endless if you followed Brenda’s advice. I know this may not be possible if you are currently living a certain lifestyle, but if you make the necessary changes like downsizing your home or ride your bike to work, you will be able to accomplish your financial goals quickly.
