#translation from pure intention tbc not from another language

[artemissoteira]

ithren wants to use so many ellipses all the time and I have to consciously restrain them. I do leave some in (deliberately) but there are so many more that I edit out or rephrase to avoid them. ithren just wants to visually distance themselves from the apparent ease of the words they are using all the time! and I get it! all of this is in translation for them! but my dude

#translation from pure intention tbc not from another language #also i guess the words probably appear in the journal in real time which would be Wild if ithren had any concept of being observed #i like to picture the journal just has a temporary “x is typing...” message so that if Whitlock were awake at the time #he could see ithren stopping and starting #bc reasonably speaking thats what all of these ellipses would be; the ones that stay in are the ones ithren chooses to write down #or like. an ink blot (of blood??) where they rest their pen or whatever #ithren #reforged campaign
