dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

If your orc culture doesn't have at least a partially fleshed-out conlang with a phonology that accommodates for their tusks then don't talk to me. Just shrinking them so that they're barely fangs is WEAK.

I named my bug lady character exclusively with sounds that do not require lips to make so I'll damn well make sure any orcish that shows up is tusk-friendly

I really appreciate that. What's her name (in IPA, if you know)?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

idk what it is in IPA but "Kireza" is her name. The "r" is kind of a trill with the tongue.

the ship's chef is an orc, his name is "Krashi" which thanks to experimenting with shoving my fingers into my mouth proves to be tusk-friendly as well

International phonetic alphabet I think

I meant I'm not copy pasting IPA symbols for a Hexbear post

That's what TypeIt is for! (Not that you should actually bother, but it's a handy way to type IPA if you ever need to)

I appreciate Wizards doing this for Thri-Kreen

Thri-kreen Names: Chit'al, Drik-chkit, Gulnik, Kiktul, Klaktuk, Krik, Pok, Ptekwe, Tal'tich, Tilnak, Tik-tik.

Yes, the Dzeturi are a legally distinct desert-dwelling mantid race with blood memories that I created, completely different from the thri-kreen sweat
