@starglowwos GOLD THIS IS THE KIJETESANTAKALU PI TAWA SIKE THAT YOU MADE
a wild gold's gif, one might say
Treats.
Sorry I'm too lazy for the other option.

Don't worry I was gonna be to lazy to do a trick.
Have a spinning Kijetesantakalu just for you.
Alright. A very basic overview of 'la'.
la is used to connect two parts of a phrase, similar but not equal to English 'because'.
For example, take the phrase "sina la, mi pilin pona". In very basic terms, this can be read as "I feel good, because you". Then when put into proper English structure, it is "You make me feel good"
It is more complex than that, but everything above is a basic rundown of the use of toki pona 'la'

I thought I'd post this little toki pona pin I made. The classic "kijetesantakalu tonsi li lanpan e soko anu seme?" But I couldn't fit tonsi so it's just a kijetesantakalu lanpan-ing the soko. Surrounded by toki pona
Oh what is this WOAH THIS IS A SKETCH
Jan ale o lukin!!!

So, I wanted to make a human version of TOKI PONA. If you don't know what toki pona is, it's a constructed language. For further info go to Google or some other browser idk.
Anyway, I just felt the urge to draw a human design for this language because I have been learning the thing for a month. I imagined them to wear something comfy and casual. they/them pronouns cause I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl, don't judge me.
And if toki pona speakers stumble across this post... Guys, firstly, correct me if my grammar is wrong. Secondly, talk to me. Please.
I still have some trouble with memorizing some words and glyphs, so I can't even think abt learning the unofficial words... and my uni is starting and I will be learning sign language, and it means less free time and consequently less time for toki pona. maybe it'll fit into my schedule, maybe I'll return to learning it next summer. We'll see.
the constructed language of toki pona manages to condense all essential vocabulary into 120 words. tell me why did i spend half an hour staring at a thesaurus trying to decide for a suitable alternative to the word hence-
Absolutely not a new observation but i love that the toki pona word for animal, "soweli," is written like this

fuck man that sure is
no language should be mocked other than french
ok is there a toki pona community on here? I need to know
lately I’ve been obsessed but I have found no ways to check my grammar online
and also if there isn’t that is an absolute injustice
mi wile kama sona pi toki pona, toki ni li pona mute! mi wile ala kama sona pi toki Kanse, taso tenpo ni la mi kama sona pi ni lon ma sona :// ni li ike e mi
want some in toki pona? not a native language tho

I need quick songs in everyone's native languages NOW 🔫
EDIT: English- and Polish-speaking people, you can put a song in just a different language since I need sth in a language I don't understand HAHA
there should be more toki pona poetry where you can only use each word once (including particles):
mi pini lape
li pilin lete
seme la suno o sewi
i would never pass a chance to recommend Sapaa. i promise not all their songs are in toki pona, most are english
I think us, as a Slenderverse (very indie) fandom we should lift up and support indie music creators, too.
Give me some not-well-known music artists that you're listening to!
Non-slendermnan series like Mythos or just ARGs can join, too c:
And maybe I'll get into editing and make some edits if I have time and energy lol
