You Know What The Peter & Caspian Relationship Tag On Ao3 Is Pathetic I Shall Have To Fill It With Book

You know what the Peter & Caspian relationship tag on ao3 is pathetic I shall have to fill it with book canon content myself

do you ever get just a little annoyed because people seem to ignore the books in fanfiction or is that just me?

it was Narnia this time, i have yet to find a fanfic with more than a subtle nod to the books.

i just want Susan/Caspian with the books and Peter and Caspian being friends and Caspian having known about the Narnians still living plz just look at book canon for a moment i am B E G G I N G

Also, Delia meeting the French scholar who helped Ash as an adult figure and having a whirlwind romance years after either her deadbeat ex left or her late husband died peaks.

Not to forget Sycamore, the oddly put together wet cat he is, meeting this wonderful, caring, and capable woman and becoming smitten as she gets him and his son (adopted, pseudo-adopted, or bio it's true regardless) to take care of themselves as much as they do their Pokemon is just*chef's kiss*

I have discovered a rarepair/crackship and it's criminal how underused the tag is on AO3, like, I get it, it can be a small fandom when it comes down to shipping sometimes, but even so... Only 7 works for a verified tag? It's disappointing.

Let me introduce you, Pokefans, curious bystanders, and that one person that just stumbled across my shitpost, to the wonder that is the

ship.

It's absolutely mad but at the same time, there's a certain inspiring brilliance to it. Only a mad genius could have thought of this.

It's so off the walls, I can scarce begin to guess at the line of thought that led to its existence, yet the ideas it brings are fun. Like the thought of Augustine Sycamore panicking over Ash after the Kalos Crisis, and panicked calls between French Zoologist Dad and Japanese Restaurant Mom when their Reckless Sporty Child jumps off of their equivalent of the Eiffel Tower after chasing down the family pet with rabies. Not to forget the Greenfield incident, where oh look your wife just got supernaturally kidnapped and you're an ocean away while your son fights something that looks like God to get her back.

Also, Alain and Ash being brothers and Delia having a romance for the ages with the Kalosian apprentice that Professor Oak had brought on in their young adulthood.

Yet again I have a wellspring of inspiration and it's because of a rarepair that under the right conditions can be a crackship.

...*sigh*

...why though?

You know, we're in luck that she hasn't reacted yet, if it were bad... Well. Nobody wants to end up like Overhaul.

This is only the truth

I’m sorry, but The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord is a hilarious episode title.

Mando'a Dialects in- and out-of-universe

Outgame (irl) there are several different versions of Mandoʻa: The Shadows of the Empire Soundtrack version (Notron Cant), the Republic Commando Soundtrack version (Jesse Harlin's text), the Old Republic version (as seen in SWtOR or KotOR), the Republic Commando Novels version (Karen Traviss' version), the Mandoa.org version (their forum members made up a lot of extra vocabulary), several different tumblr versions, and the Disney version (as in the TV-series Star Wars Rebels). They all have distinctive similarities (the Notron Cant is an exception), but unfortunately, they also all somewhat differ. Since Karen Traviss published her Mandoʻa version online, complete with a dictionary, the Mandoa.org version and most tumblr versions are based on her version. Her version in turn is vaguely based on Jesse Harlin's version-the first Mandoʻa on file, so to say. I myself see them as different dialects or development stages of the same language.

See, Karen Traviss' Mandoʻa and also most of Mandoa.org's Mandoʻa uses Basic (i.e. English) grammar with a Mandalorian vocabulary, so I call that version Soldiers' Pidgin. It's obviously (ingame) a creole language that came into existence after the Mandalorian diaspora. It is this Soldiers' Pidgin that Kal Skirata taught his children (the Nulls) and possibly also the language that the Alphas taught other, younger clones (e.g. the CC class or the ARC-troopers) as a "secret" language to hide from the Kaminoans. If it was used by the clones in such a way, the GAR should have its own dialect. The different internet versions of Mandoʻa all seem to be based on Karen Traviss' dictionary, so I see them as different dialects of the Soldiers' Pidgin. The same reasoning can be applied to Disney's Mandoʻa.

The language of Vode An, Graʻtua Cuun, Darasuum Kote, etc. on the other hand uses a grammar that differs from Basic. It is an older form of Mandoʻa, probably the Mandoʻa spoken on Mandaʻyaim before the Excision - seven-hundred years ago. It's a lot more interesting (for me, at least). I propose calling it Classic Mandoʻa. It has its own grammar; it has a similar vocabulary as Soldiers' Pidgin, but with distinct and sometimes varying pronunciations (sometimes depending on the rhyme or rhythm of the song); it has a lot of epitaphs and kennings and references and can have very flowery phrasing. It's used, in or around the time of Palpatine's Empire, predominantly in older songs and poems. An irl-equivalent could be Shakespearean English.

We can probably view the (archaic) tOR version as vaguely translated into modern Mandoʻa (Soldiers' Pidgin, probably) since there is exactly no way that the language changes so little in over 3000 years. I also propose that the Basic back then has very few similarities to the Basic that's spoken during the Skywalker Wars.

Missing is a sort of current, modern version of Classic Mandoʻa. I think that is (sadly) very realistic. A society that is so broken up by something like orbital bombardment would likely, over the centuries, develop several different creole versions and try to keep their original language as unchanged as possible, leading to exactly the combination described above.
