made-up languages; Sunday Drabbleventures, NOW WITH HARDCORE DRABBLEOSITY!
Probably this is ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
insight2's fault, but while I was brushing my teeth last night it occurred to me that it would be interesting (one word for it) to develop an angelic language, now that Skanr has been my practice run for language construction. What I've been thinking of is a language that is Romance-like in the sense that angels use different forms of the copulative (to be) for the created world and the divine, to express the distinction they'd probably make between essence versus state. Or would they just see the entire world as a collection of things in a state of being or becoming or changing? And how would the near-infinite think about the bounded and contained, anyway? *ponders these things*
In similar SPN news, I wrote one more drabble, In terra aliena (In a Strange Land) for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
deancastiel drabble challenge.
SUNDAY DRABBLEVENTURES
By executive order, I have decided that on a semiregular basis (maybe every other Sunday, or however often I feel like it), I will contribute to weekend sloth and work avoidance by writing drabbles on request. When requests are open, I will note which fandoms I'm writing in; all you need to do is name your fandom, character/pairing, and prompt, and I will write 100 words of something. This post will be the prompt and response post, for purposes of consolidation.
.drabble prompts: Leave me a fandom/character/pairing and a prompt (SGA, SPN, Bones, and I guess I will take Merlin*) and I will see what I can do.
4.26 DRABBLEVENTURES NOW OPEN
In unrelated news, Iron & Wine's The Shepherd's Dog is completely awesome and I have been listening to it obsessively.
* = I like Morgana a lot and wish something heavy would land on Uther. And I like how Arthur is kind of a jerk, but basically a decent guy. Also, I am deeply amused and, dare I say it, somewhat gratified, by the fact that the incantation languages involve Old English. A lot of this is because the Anglo-Saxons really did not like teh magics.
*le sigh* Sunday is over, alas! Drabbles closed for now.

Prompt = SPN // Castiel and Dean // Castiel and Alisatir talk/snark at each other over who owns Dean and how Dean screams.

Maybe like Early Greek and Akkadian/Summerian together?
Maybe! I'm not entirely sure :D I'd have to find out more about how Akkadian works, because I know veryveryvery little about early Semitic languages. If I were to do something with it, I'd probably try to pick base languages that reflect something of how I think angelic minds work... like, they might use different words for their own state of being (they exist and they are) as opposed to mortal created things (which have existence, but also change; they aren't permanent or unchanging).
Castiel and Dean // Castiel and Alisatir talk/snark at each other over who owns Dean and how Dean screams.
Eeep, drabbles are closed for now, but I will put this in my notebook for future reference! I will probably do another drabble self-challenge soon, because they're awfully fun... and good for when I can't work on my longer stuff :)

Voice and words
"You won't have him again."
"You don't get a say in that anymore." Alastair nods at the wards.
A sudden radiance in the window, Uriel, a trickle of power that cracks the cement the wards are carved into. Alastair whirls, a curse spilling from his mouth that goes unheard because Castiel can Speak now.
You won't have him is what Castiel says.
Mortal bone shivers, breaks like glass.
Sorry for the lateness! I hope you still enjoy it ♥
