Pronunciations and Pinterest (lol)
Added 2022-05-04 23:35:30 +0000 UTCI was poking around pinterest and thought I'd share the moodboard for TToT. I don't know if that's interesting or not, but maybe it might help with visualizing some stuff. The top is Sachie and her homeland, which fades down into Birger and his homeland, and then fades further down into Avery and his homeland.

Speaking of the gang, I thought I'd share the pronunciations of their names.
Though I like to refer to Birger as Burger lol, his name is actually pronounced more like BEER-gER (the Ι "schwa" vowel sound). Based off the Old Norse name Birghir.
Avery is pretty straightforward, AYV-ree, but I'd like to talk about his "Tatran" accent, which sounds like an amalgamation of French and Castilian Spanish. A little lisp-y, with a lack of stressed words and a silent H (like happy to 'appy). I'm always on the fence about writing Avery's dialogue phonetically, because it's essentially a fictional accent, so that would require some extensive rules to create on my part. Maybe I'll sprinkle it in here and there.
Sachie is pronounced sa-chee-EH (rhymes with hey). She's named after one of my favorite artists of all time.
That's it lol. There will be a proper update this Friday β‘
