LiteratureHumans, Merfolk, and Hybrids: BeginningsThe oceans have always been a mysterious place to humans. Throughout the millennia they and man co-existed, there are always theories about it. Though a number of them could likely be debunked by the many findings following the creation of submarines in the 16th Century to today, with the discoveries of exotic sea creatures like the angler fish and the siphonophores, and the many places like the Great Barrier Reef and the Mariana Trench. Though mysteries continue to form, as they have since hydrophones picked up sounds like the Bloop, Upsweep, the Whistle, the Boing, Julia, Slow Down, Bioduck, the Train, the 52-hertz whale, the Star Wars noise, and the Biotwang. Mysteries about mysterious creatures lurking in the depths, certain types of fish and mammals that might possibly exist, etc. Yet, some old conspiracies are often brought back into the light, but little do people realize that some conspiracy theories might actually be true. Savannah, Georgia: March 26, 2021 12-year-oldLiteratureConlangs in Dungeons, Dragons, and DamesThere is a fanfic by @SilverPaladin1985 called Dungeons, Dragons, & Dames. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13332959/1/Dungeons-Dragons-Dames Here’s the summary. Every Saturday night, Lincoln’s been going out with his friends. His sisters were curious, but he always told them it was a secret. Feeling nosy one Saturday night, they follow him in secret and learn that he, his friends, his parents, and several friends of the sisters, have been participating in D&D sessions, D&D being the shorter name for Dungeons & Dragons. Being caught, and getting used to what they just learned, they have no other choice but to participate in the session, which they chose over risking punishment for leaving the house without their parents' permission and discriminating against the game, and would eventually be getting used to. Now, in the real world, people playing tabletop RPGs create worlds to serve as settings for the events of the game, and sometimes, it would lead to fictional, yet fully functionalLiteratureMy First Tutorial Conlang: The IntroductionThroughout the years that mainstream media existed, there have been expressions of other worlds, which include their own languages. There are Sindarin, Quenya, and the other languages from the Lord of the Rings franchise, Klingon from the Star Trek franchise, Atlantean from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Na'vi from Avatar and its sequels, Dothraki, High Valyrian, Mag Nuk, and other languages from Game of Thrones, the Fremen and other languages from Dune, etc. These languages exist as languages that can be spoken not only by those people but by us in this world as well. They aren't random sounds clustered to resemble languages, or ciphers to make existing ones seem foreign to the native speaker, they are fully functional languages with their own selection of sounds, their own system of grammar, their own lexicons, etc. They might seem like they were evolved by their abundant amount of speakers over centuries and millennia, though they were made to appear like that. The reality isLiteratureMy First Tutorial Conlang: Evolving The CultureEvolution doesn't apply to organic beings. It also applies to sentient ones, as well as abstract concepts like languages and cultures. Perhaps something similar could apply to our culture as well. We already established that they are hunter-gatherers, as well as decided their island, their taxonomy, and so forth. So how can we evolve it? Well, for me, personally, there are very few predictable things, so let's focus on those and worry about the rest at the right moment. Fair reminder, I'm new to this. One thing is for sure, our hunter-gathers would be gathering more and more items, leading to a need to properly move too large amounts to other places. Perhaps they discover an idea somehow leading to the invention of the wheel, which, like the discovery of fire, occurred independently multiple times around the world. Perhaps from there, they could invent carts to carry the loads, and maybe transport groups of people that can't move at all. And paths would likely be marked before then
