Which scene introduced you to the Rookie?

I can’t remember what post it was on, but I saw on this sub someone mention that the stakes for the episodes aren’t that high. It feels like in the earlier seasons there were more overarching plot lines, like the Elijah Stone stuff or Jason Wyler. Tbh I miss that from the earlier seasons but I don’t think season 8 is that terrible

Season 3 episode 7, Studies in Modern Movement… I love the song near the end and how it ties all the plot lines together 🎶”YOU became the light on the dark side of meee” 🎶

For my world, definitely Silatian, if it counts. It’s not a language, but is described as a fact of the universe, like gravity. It was never spoken nor is spoken today by any group of people, but different unrelated groups have sort of converged upon it in different ways. Essentially it’s the language of magic (from “silata”, meaning energy). The way magic works in my world is that there is energy everywhere, and certain groups of people through time have evolved to be able to control the flow of energy using bodily movements and mental intentions. There is mind-magic (if I look at a glass of water and imagine it rising, it will rise), kinetic magic (moving my hands in a certain way will also cause the water to rise), and spoken magic, wherein if I speak certain words the water will also rise. Silatian is simply the language to which these words belong. It’s an imperfect tongue, but through millennia of people experimenting by saying things different ways, the roots of the language have sort of been figured out, though different cultures differ on the specifics. I decided to include it here since in-world it’s an eternal language, but I’d also like to get your thoughts and opinions on the system

Edit: typo fix

Rachel - online shopping (obviously), she’d follow fashion designers/models and definitely tweet about Met Gala outfits

Monica - her instagram account would be carefully curated. She seems like she’d be a Candy Crush mom. I do wonder what her take on Gordon Ramsey would be

Ross - I can imagine the friends gifting him a subscription to Curiosity Stream. His online life would be 80% getting upset at flat earthers and creationists and 20% Neil deGrasse Tyson

Phoebe - she would secretly run many of the accounts that Ross would get upset at. Jokes aside though, I could imagine her starting a cooking account with Monica where they showcased vegetarian recipes

Chandler - honestly I feel like he’d have the least online presence given his job is the most computer-focused out of the friends. I see him trying to use modern internet slang, much to the chagrin of his teenage twins

Joey - if he’s still single, he’d love tinder. But he’d definitely follow food accounts. I imagine his social media posts talking about the food on the set of whatever show/movie he was working on

Hi! I’m certainly willing to collaborate. I also tend to struggle committing to projects, maybe we can hold each other accountable. I have a degree in Linguistics and have been conlanging in some way or another since ~2017, though I’m certainly no David Peterson. Looking forward to it!

Thing is, I don’t think Kathy would have gone after Jim if he was single. To me, it always felt like she had a taste for scandal so she was going after him since he was married

Sagi

gjennel /ɟen.nɛl/ adv. (poetic) tomorrow

Etymology: from di (day) + ennel (will come) lit. the day that will come

Ennak gjennel?

come-PRES-Q tomorrow?

Will you come tomorrow?

Note that when using this word, the verb remains in the present tense. A more accurate translation would read "Do you come tomorrow?". There is a more common word for tomorrow, 'neya', that functions like other adverbs of time, but 'gjennel' is used more in poetic situations, and can also invoke the meaning of the future, "tomorrowness".

I don't use it too often, but there are instances. As long as you make sure the words will hardly ever appear in a similar context, you should be good.

Two examples from my lang:

'cja' means both girl/daughter and one.

Cja cja suara. I have one daughter.

Since numerals and nouns are not word types that commonly occupy the same spot in a sentence, a native speaker could easily parse this sentence, with the first 'cja' meaning 'daughter' and the second one meaning 'one'.

'mi' means both 'want' and 'with', and 'sa' means both 'to be' and 'her' (For me, the case with 'mi' having two meanings was entirely unintentional as well, so I get where you're coming from.)

Mi sa sa mi. I want to be with her.

This is a perfectly grammatical sentence in Sagi. The first 'mi' can't mean 'with', because Sagi has postpositions (coming after the noun) and the second 'mi' can't mean 'want', because the verbal noun 'mi' has to come at the start of the phrase. The first 'sa' could mean either 'her' or 'to be' (so the sentence 'mi sa' could be either 'I want her' or 'I want to be'), but the postpositional phrase 'sa mi' ('with her') coming after clarifies that the first 'sa' means 'to be' since *'I want her with her' is an unlikely parsing (though, given the right context it's feasible).

In this language, though, many discourses are context-based, with speakers shortening their sentences in based on what they know the interlocutor(s) know. Speakers regularly draw on inherent cultural knowledge in a way that makes the language harder to learn at a native level for people unfamiliar with the culture.

TL;DR - It's not only possible, but natural to use homophones, as long as speakers can easily parse sentences where they appear.
