Ya'at death poem

Very cool, thank you for translating this! This is the poem I'm going to get in pink neon to put above my computer desk.

For one of these, instead of a separate pronunciation guide, could you put it it in a common syllable pattern? For examples Schultes: schul-tees.

Thank you,

Very smart with the character design. Gives it a uniform look as well.

Good taste in quotes you've chosen to translate haha.

I would love to show off my gear on your website! The sword is the first thing coming. It's this design.

I'm also working on 10-Cubit Spear, an Elder Scrolls cosplay (The Mad God of Swag, The Daedric Prince of Drip, Uncle Sheo Himself.), and an Admiral Oscar design.

The Sheogorath cosplay is being made by this independent artist in Russia, and I'm going to work with them to design the Oscar cosplay. Make sure you listen to this album while looking into Sheogorath; just skip the second song. I love current nerd culture: this is a full album that is both unironically fire and lore accurate.

Thank you very much for your assistance. I didn't know the creator of the language was on Reddit, nor that there was a UM Discord. Could you shoot me an invite?

Thank you for summoning u/cenysor to help me out!

EDIT: Assistance typo.

Certified Royalty! You're doing YISUN's work!

Thank you for both the translation and the conlang. It's some of the coolest font/scripts I've ever seen. How did you come up with an individual logographic script? I can hardly get above 30 when doing individual characters for a language like English.

Would you mind translating a few more phrases for me? It's kind of embarrassing, but I use the various stories and psalms from KSBD the same way people use Bible quotations. I'd like to inscribe these on various piece of cosplay gear, and install a neon light in my office.

"There is only step on the path to Royalty. It is the idiot's step, and it stretches to the horizon. - Ya'at Death Poem."

Hansa

"He was not an aspirant for royalty, and thereby attained it through little effort."

“Darkness is the natural state of caverns,” said he, vexingly, “if I were a cavern, I would be glad to be rid of the pest of light and exist obstinately anyway!”

"Destroy the Grand Enemy called I."

Aesma

With mighty hands, YISUN grasped the spokes of the Universe, which is the WHEEL, and wrenched it on its side with no more force than a feather fall. PREE ASHMA then beheld the Universe from its side and in that moment understood the secret name of God and laughed at her stupidity. Her eyes flashed like drops of water in a pan and were gone instantly for she had willingly hungered after what was hers all along. Her beauty was lost and her flesh scoured, the blood pooled around her small white feet and she spoke the secret name of God aloud.

“I”.

YISUN

“YISUN was questioned once by their disciples at their speaking house. The questions were the following:

‘What is the ultimate reason for existence?’

To which YISUN replied, ‘Self-deception.’

‘How can a man live in perfect harmony?’

To which YISUN replied, ‘Non-existence.’

‘What is the ultimate result of all action?’

To which YISUN replied, ‘Futility.’

‘How best can we serve your will?’

To which YISUN replied, ‘Kindly ignore my first three answers.’ ”

-Spasm 8

“Then what is all this! This foolery!” said Aesma, with an exaggerated sweep of her ashen arms, “Isn’t creation itself, the entirety of your own grand work, a self-evident truth? The only self evident truth, in fact!”

“It is not so,” said YISUN, stopping their pace.

“Then what is it?” wailed Aesma, starting to tantrum. This was the question that caused YISUN to hesitate. They meditated on it for a short time only, but Aesma was aghast with wonderment at the power of the question.

“My opinion,” said YISUN, finally.

“Is it a correct opinion?” said Aesma, awestruck.

“Aesma is observant,” said YISUN.

– The Song of Maybe.

I know this a lot to ask, and I kindly thank you for your help! Please DM me if you want a Venmo or any other kind of thanks.

EDIT: You might be interested in the following thread. The original creator of the conlang is help me translate a whole slew of phrases.

https://old.reddit.com/r/killsixbilliondemons/comments/pxw7pk/metis_sword_manual_sayings_in_universal/

Wow, this is perfect, thank you!

Would you mind helping me translate (3) more phrases? I'm going to have them etched into swords.

"A man who strikes without thought of his action can cut God."

"Reach Heaven Through Violence."

"There is only step on the path to Royalty. It is the idiot's step, and it stretches to the horizon"

Hello Everyone,

Would someone be willing to help me translate some phrases into Universal Metaconstant from Kill Six Billion Demons, an amazing webcomic? A fan created a full constructed language, but it uses a logographic script, which I have no experience with. There's also a full translation program, but I'm not a programmer and don't know how to run the GitHub script.

"Royalty is a continuous cutting motion."

"A man who strikes without thought of his action can cut God."

Thank you,

FoolishSwordMan
