I was reading a bunch of DPXDC stuff on here and AO3 with Ghost King Danny, and thinking about how people wrote when he spoke if it wasnāt hear-able to human ears or a different languages and that got me thinking - what would that sound like? Then my brain did some braining and thought - wouldnāt it be cool if it was just all languages overlapping? Like āWho goes thereā in English, but at the same time every known and unknown language (or just the dead ones, since he *is* the Ghost King) at the exact same time with the translation. That would support the whole āsuper hard/impossible to translateā because it could change every time depending on what languages or sounds are enunciated more.
Add in the fact that logically, the vast majority of gods would not just speak the language you know or maybe even the most commonly used, this kinda makes sense? Well, not really, but who cares. As a wise author once stated, ācanon is a sandbox and I am the lightning which will shape it to glassā or smth like that. Also, anyone who dies instinctively knows how to understand the language(s) so they can understand their king (as Ghosts). So now Iām just imagining a situation like this (forgive me, I donāt know how to bold or italics or anything on tumblr Iām new-edit, some gracious soul taught me in the comments, may their pillow be the perfect temperature):
Constantine, furiously flipping through translations book after translation book of paranormal languages and not finding anything on God speak: āBloody hell, where is it!ā
Danny, who just got summoned by some cult/to save the world/for some other reason and has crazy social anxiety but needs some kind of āsacrificeā to make the summoning legal or else do a bunch of paperwork, thinking: Can I just ask for a sacrifice? Would that be rude?
Danny, Awkwardly: āI need a sacrifice before I can leave. Just like a rock will do. I donāt like paperwork.ā
Constantine, attempting to translate, gesturing vaguely and panicked as he continue to flip through book after book: āItās saying that it needs a sacrifice in Kevlar**, something about a crystal, and Korea?*** I think it wants Black Bat as a sacrifice?
Jason, cackling: āHow did you translate that so badly?ā
**Sacrifice in Hmong is Kev txi
***Paperwork in Acoli is āKaratacā, also I know Cass is Chinese not Korean but for the sake of this Constantine does not and/or assumes that the Ghost King canāt tell
Or, Jason randomly discovering that he can understand any language now. Just not speak it.
In conclusion, I have now decided that whenever a god speaks it is representative of all those who have ever entered their domain or presence, and because mortals are not capable of understanding the complexities and beauties of language, they will never understand.
ā¦crap, now I want to write a tragedy or essay or poem or something about the symbolism
TLDR: God language is just all languages overlapping at once, scenario, and author having a mental breakdown over ELA and this being much longer than expected
