These are characters of a comic I've had floating in my head more than half my life. Significant recent redesigns and worldbuilding, but boy howdy is it fun to see them bounce off each other again. Idiolects are tricky. CONLANG idiolects, even trickier. But they're maybe my favorite part of comics.
I just got new crow quills and Deleter 4 ink for myself before Inktober! It's... definitely a learning curve! I've used brushes for so long this hurt my hands. The Veterans of the Trashflower Pack play one of their earth games. Ah, poor Scott. The Detroit recruits taught him Farkle, huh.
![Four bipeds upon Willowworld stand around a table. Kfex 4 Sheas "Shace" Kagfhnn, a gigantic, surly Wrwl lynx-wolf, plays Chess against Henda "Andy" Tzeitel Bat Hode, a much smaller and equally intense Earth human-fox (Litvak) with glasses and long frizzy hair under a scaff. On Shace's back sits The Slug, a gender-indeterminate orphan Wrwl Sandcat-tabby-mix-mutt, panicked over the tension of the game.
Behind them, Ashkii "Scott" DiTsosi, an Earth human-red-wolf (multiethnic with Abkhaz and Navajo in there someplace) with bleached bangs, wearing a "Cubs 2004" world series T-shirt, much happier and more excited.
Scott, elated to have rolled six fives while playing Farkle, yells in his family idiolect, "Sฤฑ'ฤn! [Honey!] Honda, geshลya! [Look at this!] Yi [I] almost fark, but I NOT fark up!" Henda waves him off and tells him to shut his face, in Yiddish.

*hugs* Been a long year for all of us but we're alive right now and we're gonna take advantage of that
What if diff people have diff types of brains with diff strengths & weaknesses just like anything else but the uncreative fuckers who only care about making numbers go up got to make the rules fit *their* brains because they wake up so fucking early with all their gratuitous executive function
Something I think about a lot with neurodivergence is how often the โnormโ our brains are โdivergingโ from is not any sort of human norm, but just a modern norm invented by capitalists. Maybe demanding we all sleep on Henry Fordโs schedule and do endless paperwork to live is the divergent path here.
is it because they fired people's coworkers and replaced those lifelong experts in the field with an extremely stupid guessing machine so the bosses could pocket 100% of the salaries they're no longer paying while asking the remaining workers to pick up the slack and clean up after the AI's mistakes
"Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, itโs hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout." www.forbes.com/sites/bryanr...
Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, employees say it has increased their workload, hampered productivity and caused job burnout, research shows.
Holy crap. This is wild. We were tracking that dark money spend because it went from $10M to $25M per WEEK in October of 22. Just a completely insane amount of money. It probably singlehandedly kept them the House. And it was fucking Elon the whole time.
Actually one piece of advice I got from a lawyer is if youโre anywhere in spitting distance of a situation (business, employment, property, etc.) that may someday require a lawyer write everything down as it happens and email it to yourself so you have a running TIMESTAMPED play by play
