Wonder Lung au concept (final design choice)

Cappie (Role of Alice/Queen of Hearts)

Theme notes;

Bones (teeth/ribs)

Cream (skin)

Kept with a visual theme of gore/grotesque

Exactly.

Not only just with Ancient Greek or Mediterranean areas but rather as a whole in many other takes and tales. An example would be Homer, who spends many lines describing the enviorment with direct words not like: the fragrant dark tree which's leaves look like...." no. Homer goes: this is an olk-helm, a cypress, and fragrant cedar tree. The Homeric Hymn to Demeter says the flowers Persephone was taking: rose, saffron, violets, iris, hyacinth and narcissus.

Ithaka & Knossos, Crete

Each regions is so vastlyyyy unique

Each regions geography, climate, etc is so so tightly bound to how its myths got shaped and Yada yada how society shaped itself, how the city states framed their identity etc etc 🥹 neglecting that for vague.... olive tree sandy lemon tree vibes is....... just sad..... look at it! Its so pretty! And the trees are so different everywhere!

almost like the duduk symptom* (creating and continuing to represent a vague vibe that fits the idea people supposedly have of an area created by stereotypes and things like orientalism, often mixing elements of entirely different cultures/areas and claiming it accurately represents this single region instead of attempting to represent the region realistically in its uniqueness and present influences from other regions**)

*reference to Farya Faraji's ethnomusical video essay(s)

1. (On orientalism)

2. (On greek folk music and its eastern connections)

au where Marinette is outed about lying to her friends and Adrien about Hawkmoth/Gabriel/literally all of that, and in a fit of grief and rage, Chat Noir tries to destroy his own memories - his friends interfere, with many of them getting hurt, and Marinette accidentally ends up taking the blow.

Luka takes the chance to snatch up the one that got away. It's fine. Marinette is happier this way, and he makes a better Ladybug. (...right?)

(Please understand this is mostly middle Egyptian vocabulary, things can change depending on when (time wise) your using this)

Hieroglyphics are partly phonetical (sounds) and partly pictorial (specifying the range of meaning)

This language is EXTREMELY homonyms based (so many) so determinatives are important.

In a usual structure there is two or more phonetics, these come first in the words. However there are some that are pictorial (symbolism, figurative) in value. Then there are determinatives at the end of words, following phonetic signs and give the specific range of meaning.

Ancient Egyptian started out as a pictorial language, each symbol once (in early vocabulary) for an entire word (like a cow for cattle, waves for water, etc.)

There are 134 phonetic signs, followed by 180 determinative signs

Another note to be made, there are no vowels when writing this language, as it is similar to Hebrew (and similar semetic languages)

Here is where things can be very complicated, sentence structure, as there are 3 types

The Complete (Or Verbal) Sentence

This is where the VERB is the principal position at the beginning of the sentence

Ex order;

Verb. Subject. Object.

Sedem sekhtï kheru

(Hears the peasant a voice)

Or

Mern ef su

(Loved he him)

The Incomplete Sentence

The Incomplete (or simple nominal) is a sentence WITHOUT a verb (this cannot translate into English, thus, upon translation, we inserst a verb)

The order is

Subject. Predicate.

Ex;

Nuk neb ymat

(I [am] the Lord of graciousness)

Or

Ren-ek nefer

(Name thy [is] beautiful)

((The words in [ ] are simply inserted for easier understanding, as they are not actually part of the sentence structure, but so show what is missing))

Finally, we have—

The Incomplete (Compound Nominal)

Compound Nominal sentences is formed upon the simple nominal sentence but with the verb inserted.

Order example;

Subject. Verb. Object.

(The forms of verbs used in this are specifically A (intransitives and passivies) and B (with transitives))

This one tends to be more complicated out of the 3, I'll do my best to explain.

Intransitive verb ex;

Subject. Verb.

Subject.

Yau (old age)

Verb.

Hau (advances)

Yau hau

(Old age advances)

Transitive verbs ex;

Subject.

Yhu (childishness)

Verb.

Her may (upon renewing (i.e. is renewed)

(Please know, the word [Her] in the language is an infinitive)

Yhu her mau (childishess upon renewing)
