making a toki pona font where every word is made out of akesi because i have too much time on my hands and i need to do something
(still WIP, duh)
legibility is for losers, akesissen (that's not how you pluralize akesi) are awesome
me when i see pizza
I keep seeing people say “oh, yeah, SA2 was everyone’s first Sonic game” and it kinda pissed me off tbh, so…
this reminds me of one time in AP Language
last quarter in my AP Lang class, my teacher asked "ok class, let's separate these sentences into its subject and main verb." (it was a two part activity, we were supposed to find the subjects of each sentence in a paragraph and then find a pattern. we never got to the "find the pattern" part that day)
it was getting increasingly obvious that most of my class forgot what a verb was. he asked people to point out a verb in a sentence, and some people said adjectives, nouns, or adverbs instead.
so he spent the entire hour reteaching the parts of speech lol.
an improv show that begins with asking the audience for one word prompts but as it progresses it becomes increasingly clear that they’re just testing the audience members on which parts of speech they know
so I saw @earthykinous' Cubone hero and I have been converted; their way of drawing cubone eyes is so peak
Please check out their work if you haven't - their art is lovely!!

Name: Walf
Debut: Kirby’s Return to Dream Land
On today this creature critter cFriday we are gathered to celebrate Walf! Walf is definitely one of the most critters I can think of. It is a really wonderful design! Flippers like a sea turtle, antennae like a beetle, and a round shell like both! Not too turtley, not too beetley, Perfectly Walf.
Walf looked quite different in its original appearance! More turtley, I think? Or maybe even mammaly. I don’t like it as much. I wonder if I would like it more if it was bald.
Nope! I don’t like it more bald.
All that being said, I don’t DISlike the original Walf design at all, it is quite cute! But in Planet Robobot, only the second ever appearance of Walf, they felt the need to completely redesign it. And this design, I LOVE! I like the colors more, the face is cuter, it feels like a more consistent design overall, good job, Walf!
There may not be any merchandise of Walf (yet), but take solace in that it does exist in-universe, thanks to the figures in Forgotten Land! This is also how its name was confirmed! For over ten years, we were just going by the file names that called it Walf. We could only imagine what they might ever officially call it in-game! We imagined they would call it “Walf”. Hey, this is only a two-star figure? Surely there must be a mistake!
Much better! Much more realistic!
Interestingly for something with flippers, Walf spends its aquatic time on TOP of the surface of the water! Also interesting is that while it has antennae and moves on the water surface, it is not based on a water strider. If anything, it makes me think of a whirligig beetle! Walf can do more than swim, though. So much more.
