mind wander into territory of japanese , chinese , and korean scripts , and how people romanise these .
kossai think very multi-sensory , with heavy visual components . words can be part of these visuals , so figure this would be neat highlight .

first start out simple . kossai know of hepburn romanisation for japanese , so this appear : konnichiwa - romaji .
as well , know of hanyu pinyin for chinese languages , so this appear next : nĭ hăo - pinyin .
kossai do not know much about chinese languages , and even less of korean . so at first , brain pop up with : annyeong haseyo - hangul .

but very quickly remember , no , hangul is name for how koreans write korean . so chart split off into two parts , and this take left side : 안녕하세요 - hangul .
and on right side of this entry , appear simple blurry blurb to indicate lack knowledge of name for romanisation system .
finally , japanese and chinese get respective entries on left side : こんにちは - kana/kanji & 你好 - hanzi .

so final thought chart look something like this :


of course , with internet at fingertips can look up answers no trouble ;D just think this is especially neat demonstration of thought language - when decide to post about this , even specifically think of dreamwidth post interface , then put this chart inside that post window . to serve as reminder of this post idea , kossai then scribble down this chart in very messy form .

so : no wonder kossai struggle with words , right ? have to wring mind through cheese cloth , turn these multi-sensory and highly visual thoughts into something human languages can communicate .

in think about my little pony connections , would probably suspect changelings ! um ... sort of ... and sort of not .

love general concepts , right up until thorax happen . like thorax is this special visionary , where changelings can just share love and be fine - no , better than fine ! just kind of hate that . like yes tyrannical queen and hivemind , whatever , but even show characterise during this episode that changelings all born inherently mean and spitty , and thorax was just super special exception . this kind of make weird later that not only do other changelings immediately cave when thorax demonstrate new form , but why no one before thorax seem to have this capability and yet now suddenly everyone do .

there is definitely stuff to criticise about concepts of hivemind vs individuality , and how lines can be blurry and weird and maybe not always useful to pit against one another , but others probably say that better .

so will instead turn attention to this idea that no one will love changelings unless look and behave just like ponies , which is problem when biologically need to feed off of love . have ability to shapeshift , but this is seen as cheat , thievery , and deception , which means methods to get there must be underhand - first characterise as evil just for biological needs , then force changelings to prove this perception right out of starvation and desperation . therefore , " reward " for selfless changelings who share love freely ... is to look and behave just like ponies . not for ponies to look at these weird buggy guys and extend hoof first , no ! changelings must change for ponies , in every scenario here - difference is just whether or not ponies consider to be evil .

also , visually think some of these guys suck . like understand in cartoon for kids will need named characters to be recognisable and merchandisable , but like , kind of ick ? especially colour palettes . absolutely can still make designs more in line with originals that look fun and unique , but guess not cute enough for toys or whatever , even if let changelings be different colours than just black . would much prefer if these new designs would be intentional disguises - something that changelings feel still need to take on in order to gain pony acceptance , but ultimately take toll on feelings because acceptance is conditional . ponies would come to realise how much this actually hurt and make efforts to get over discomfort .

that is version of changelings which kossai connect with . do like that thorax is able to form bonds and feed in moderation because of bonds , but think weird to be some first of kind visionary - changeling inability to form bonds should not be because of biology and apparent hivemind structure , but because ponies make assumptions because of these things . would also much prefer if metamorphosis was not this innate biological reward - changelings should get to look like changelings , and act like changelings , without ponies determine which is good and which is evil , which is ugly and which is pretty .

gee , wonder why faeries would think that . :P

recently join physical nonhuman specific forum , glad to have something like this . on tumblr there continue to be incorrect definitions and cruel pushback against physical nonhumans , specifically from other folks who make claim to this label , under claims that experience is non-literal and " not like those crazy people " . appeal to sanists is game which will never win , and sorely wish more folks would learn that .

of course , barrier of entry to forum is not exactly huge , not like some older plural or alterhuman forums that require application or anything . but with that barrier of entry , as well as general forum format ... so far , seem like no nonsense happen here .

... but also , not too much legitimate activity either this last little while . kossai not even post very much overall , but make up about half of posts from last 10 days . do not want to over-post and " hog " forum , but if there is nothing for anyone to comment on ... then ... well no one will comment . and if there is no one who comment on anything , then some folks might feel there is no point to post , and then forum will actually die out when still so new .

possibly not help that this forum have like button for posts , which is easy way to acknowledge without need to comment , and leave what could be very neat conversations dead in water . however unsure if host service make this feature mandatory , so will not blame admin so much as shake fist at this like button internet culture .

one of those uphill battles ... hopefully some folks hop back on again soon .
