doctor call the cops the specimen is thinking again!!!

Shoutouts to the one time @shirecorn thought that I was going to draw an Alicorn who’s the god of mouths… I ended up drawing this… thing

You heard of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, now get prepared for the Alicorn of the apocalypse! Why does that actually sounds really good?

HELLO THERE.

So much Sith lore, so little time. Where to start... maybe probably... languages?

I had to put fic writing on pause because like a clown on wax wings I decided let's make up some Sith kinship terms based on the system of Chinese kinship terms for Vowrawn and his family to use among each other.

Which made sense in my brain at the time since bloodlines and strict social stratas make up the backbone of Sith pureblood culture. Plus I'm already familiar with Chinese kinship terms being Chinese-American myself so the framework was there.

Filling it up with Sithy words, however... woof. I've been tearing up the wookieepedia glossary on Sith languages and piecing syllables together that look and sound "right" in my head. Ex:

Nyâsh ("Big, much, many") + kaar ("Keeper") = Nyâkaar (big/older sibling?)

I'm still mulling over ways to signify a gendered term of address so, in this instance, I can make it clear that Darth Haskrai is calling Vowrawn "older brother" because Haskrai absolutely does not address Vowrawn by his personal name. Only Vowrawn's elders (few as there are still living) and Marr are allowed to call him Khomir.

Hell, I've been debating going back to edit For the Present to use the Sith kinship terms I made so far instead of the Basic "brother", "aunt", and "uncle"... but I don't think I will. I am just going to roll with the idea that Vowrawn's family uses Basic kinship terms for Marr's benefit and the events of that fic are the exception, not the rule.
