The Mush chips are particularly inspired and an incredible concept by the aforementioned Zii. Mushrooms in our world contain so so much water so I imagine they might be hard to fry into tasty chips, but this particular mushroom? It's just perfect for chips, ok? Trust.

I also gotta confess that if I lived in the world of interconnections, my favorite fruit would probably be the boob fruit. I know, I'm sorry. I just think a fruit that wasn't tangy at all, but instead sweet, creamy, milky, and juicy would be incredible.

I introduce to you some of my favorite food items in Interconnections. First of all, the coffee stick. It would be like a longer edible cigarette that is caffeinated. It also comes in harder variants that are more like pocky sticks. Next up, my second favorite dish is the fries in savory stew! The fries are fried twice for that extra crunch, which is what they do to korean fried chicken. And similarly to korean fried chicken, some stores season their fries with spicy sweet flavors, creamy flavors, etc.

I want the vehicles to be a little beautiful! A little whimsical! I definitely think magic allows for some more leeway in defying physics, like having airships with three tiers of sails. I want to explore the possibilities of fun activities you can do in the sky, like airboarding, which would be very similar to surfing or skateboarding. People would design obstacle courses and races for this sport!

I've got the IPA chart more or less locked in (for now), and I'm figuring out the syllable chart and overall visual design of the characters. YeTsuktsu reflects its culture in many ways! Historically, Tsuktsu was a very popular location for trade, so YeTsuktsu borrows a lot of characters and sounds from its neighboring languages. I really want this language to capture the region's energy and love for birds, so a lot of the visuals I am playing around with look like birds flight patterns. YeTsuktsu is syllabic and uses superscript as well as borrowed characters/kanji.

Taba and Shoori live in a refurbished building that is attached to the archives that Shoori works at. The building used to be one of the living spaces of a long line of wealthy merchants. While these archives are still owned by this merchant family, they no longer need the housing, so it has since been divided up into a coliving space for employees of the archive.
