Posted 2 weeks ago :: Last edited 2 weeks ago by mewhaku
We have entered the month of November !
Where did the time go?!?!! Somehow we've blown past Spooky Month [mewhaku screams in the distance] and we're truly entering the Fall season now.
The current Prompt is: What's This? The Festive Season
This year [and possibly continuing years], we will have a scaling reward system [not a raffle] for Prompt participation. See the prompt's details for more information! Because these months are now bi-monthly (as in there are 6 prompts TOTAL for the year), the details have changed.

They belong to Provie and Oboe respectively!
Members who draw or write about this Paralogos or Whiffling through the month of November will get a bonus +3 flat INK or +3 Bottlecaps.
The owner of the Spotlight character will not gain this additional bonus,
but are still rewarded the normal currency from having someone else draw your owned character.

September Spotlight and New Prompt! EDIT: + News!
Posted 2 months ago :: Last edited 2 months ago by mewhaku
We have entered the month of September !
EDIT: We bring a surprise update to the Redesign Information Page as well thanks to Mouse! We now have some rare Whiffling items available as well in the Black Market. You know, for the right price...
We have also come to the decision as admins that the Large Twin Potion item should double as a design update item. As of this posting, you can use this item to update your Whiffling to a Twin-based design. Currently, there is not an item to de-twin a Whiffling. Please keep this in mind when designing!
We hope you'll enjoy these updates!
We hope you're all doing well as some of you return to school, or the year gets busier with Fall Festivals and other events as the weather cools!
The current Prompt is: Back to School!

World of Lingua Meme Contest [CLOSED]
Posted 6 months ago :: Last edited 3 months ago by mewhakuEDIT: And with the poll closed we have our 4 winners-
In 1st place we have:
Congrats Provie!!
And in a tie for 2nd - so combining 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places-
So congratulations to Howee , Shrike , and kazulthedragon!
We hope you all had a fun time with this small contest, and your gifts will be sent out momentarily! All participants have received their Memento as well.
Non-winners will receive a Mysterious Simple Bag! <3
Hey everyone!
Because of popular demand, we decided to host a contest all about creating fun and relatable World of Lingua memes!
What are we looking for?
World of Lingua related memes!
(example meme kindly provided by Jingletail)
Anyone participating will get a memento (tba) and a small participation prize!
Requirements:
1) Has to feature a Paralogos/Whiffling or otherwise relate to the World of Lingua group in any way
2) has to be 100% your own art (although you can of course directly reference existing memes, do draw-overs, etc.)
3) has to fall in the general category of "meme" or otherwise communicate a funny and/or relatable situation/experience.
Note: You may submit memes that do not contain any artwork (f.e. memes where only text is edited, copypastas, etc.). As long as you have put some amount of work into making it WoL-related, it can count! However, please be aware that you would not gain regular currency rewards for these types of submissions.
Characters you can use for your entries:
- One of our many NPCs!
- You can also use one of your own character or someone else's (with explicit permission!)
What can you win?
Each winning meme will be rewarded with one (1) Fancy Mysterious Bag!
How are winners determined?
Since the question of whether a meme is funny and/or relatable is very subjective, the winners will be determined via popular vote.
After the deadline has passed we will put all viable entries into a google form for all members to vote on for one (1) week.
Winner memes will be determined based on the highest amount of votes.
How many winners will there be?
We will start out with 3 winning memes.
For every 5 entries after the 10th entry we will add another winning meme!
Theoretically, a member could win multiple times if they submitted multiple entries.
How do you enter?
You can make a maximum of 3 entries.
To officially submit an entry, upload it to the Meme Contest 2024 gallery folder. No additional prompt required!
Deadline: August 2nd (11:59pm EST) [EDITED ON JULY 30th!)

[Event] Linguan Pride Festival '24 [ OPEN ]
Posted 5 months ago :: Last edited 4 months ago by mewhaku
As you enter the city of Sermos, you immediately notice that it's buzzing with people. Sure, it's usually quite crowded, but this is something else entirely.
There's upbeat music blasting from every second corner, big banners and flags adorning buildings, and big colorful floats driving slowly through the filled streets. You see humans, Paralogos and Whifflings alike running around and laughing; some are carrying big flags, some are wearing them as capes, some are holding signs.
Two of the celebrating Whifflings approach you, their paws intertwined.
"Happy Pride!" the Mouse Whiffling yells with a huge grin. "Welcome to Sermos' Pride Festival!" the other exclaims, "Is it your first time here?" She points around, smiling happily. "People from everywhere around Lingua travel here each year to have a good time. There's so much to see and do - we can show you around, if you'd like!"
Event Summary
Within the world of Lingua, often in June, there are many festivals celebrating elements of Pride. The residents of the capital of Sermos are known to have boisterous celebrations- citizens, caretakers, Paralogos, and even Whifflings, all coming together to celebrate one another and the multiplicity of their relationships towards others and themselves!
While Paralogos are known to be asexual by their own biology, there are many that have found themselves in various kinds of romantic relationships, and supportive friendships, or who find themselves happier alone or only having a Caregiver Bond.
Whifflings have been rumored to have offspring meanwhile, and find themselves in many kinds of relationships sometimes culminating in children on occasion, though our research is limited on how those situations may come about... it is worth investigating!
What can be known for sure is that Lingua spans wide and ranging groups of all kinds of individuals from every walk of life, and no matter who you are, these boisterous celebrations bring everyone into a joyous and excitable spirit!
How to Submit Entries
All event entries have to be worth at least 5 of the respective currency and have to depict one or more of the following subjects:
- A relationship of whatever kind (romantic/platonic/bond/etc.).
- A character's introspect about being alone or what kind of relationship(s) they dream of (romantic/platonic/bond/etc.).
- A character being proud, either of themselves or someone else.
- A character celebrating or being a part of the festival.
You may submit collaborations, however, every participant has to fulfill the minimum currency requirements in order to be eligible for rewards.
You may also submit monthly prompt, magic progression, or wisdom task entries as event entries, as long as they directly depict at least one of the four above mentioned subjects.
All submissions have to be new works specifically made for this event!
Who can You draw?
- Your own Paralogos, Whifflings, Companions, Pets and Caretakers
- The following NPCs/mascots: Ginkgo (demiromantic), Gin (demiromantic), Vivin (mirrorgender & pan) & Sigrid (sapphic)
- Other member's Paralogos, Whifflings, Companions, Pets and Caretakers (if their gift art / gift writing status is set to "Yes")
To officially submit an entry for this event, do the following:
- Upload the artwork/literature/etc to the correct gallery folder.
- If your entry doubles as a monthly prompt, magic, or wisdom submission, submit it to the associated gallery folder.
- Otherwise submit it to the Linguan Pride Festival folder!
- Make a new submission to the event prompt based on the instructions in the prompt description.
Rewards
Every submitted event entry that fulfills the requirements will reward you with one (1) Pride Bag.
There is a Paralogos and Whiffling variant - you can freely choose which one you wish to earn for each entry!
Pride bags include currency and items related to the species in question, including loot bags/whifflebags, as well as exclusive items such as vouchers or Pair of Wings/Vial of Changing Sight!
Submitting at least one (1) event entry will also earn you the following Pride Memento at the end of the event:
Deadline
This event lasts one month, from June 1st to June 30th, 11:59 pm site-time.
The event gallery folder and event prompt have a grace period of one (1) day until July 1st, 11:59 pm to allow processing of late submissions.
