A little note here- as of 10/29/22 - we have a small Halloween bonus going on in our Discord Server!
You can check your status on claiming three gifts here. Seems like the Halloween crew got a bit busy this year, but still have some things to share!
Fall is in the air and we here in Lingua welcome it!
This past month we added the Linguan Preserve to the site! And we've seen success with characters and MYO slots finding new homes~ Also, we seemed to have missed adding the Suggestion Box to the site! So far we've just been using the #suggestions Discord Channel. Suggestion mention has been added to the Ask Questions Here Prompt on site.
Also... we are working on another feature to the site- and we hope to release it soon!
The newest TYOC Prompt Has been released! TYOC: Tricks vs Treats! Enjoy! :D

The Crossing is Here
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhakuHello all! We're bringing a new feature online.
Welcome to The Crossing. The Whiffling Breeding feature!
And so it finally returns with some new tips and tricks, new features and an updated system overall!
We've got a new Breeding Prompt. We've updated the Redesign Page fully too! Now with updated pricing and Whiffling options officially stated! We've been hard at work getting these out, so a major thank you to our Admin Team for all their hard work!
EDIT: As a result, Twin Potion items have now appeared in the Whiffle Wares shop as well!
The Lore section has been fully updated with all recent The Year of Competition Prompts as well, and the headers cleaned up too.
We will have an additional bit of Lore information coming out soon for how Whiffling Crossing works in world, but we hope that the information on the Breeding page will help to sate any curiousity until then!
We also heartily thank tamingofthesandshrew for their service and time in the group, but due to offline busy-ness they have chosen to step down in their position officially. So that is why they are no longer on the Official Artists page. Thank you again Taming!
September Spotlight + News
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku
Hi all! As summer closes with the end of August, we have some information for you all.
EDIT: 9/18 : An Addendum to the News Post! It looks like the Linguan Preserve is now open! Afina is welcoming new residents to the Preserve, and it seems there's already two residents there already. Hopefully this encourages members to find new friends! The Linguan Preserve is a way for members to get some compensation (of Linguan currency) if they wish to surrender a character they no longer wish to own, and also a way for members to adopt a new pre-made character. We are so happy to finally have it created and working! EDIT EDIT: To clarify, we also DO enable MYO Slot surrenders WITH a CONFIRMED word or scent choice!
It has been formally added to the Ask Questions Here prompt that you can have your World of Lingua character appraised, and re-evaluated value wise for reselling. Please do not abuse this feature, but in order to have your character's re-evaluated, please link the character, give any proof you have of commission values, and then mewhaku will review it. Please link artwork as well! Follow up questions happen on Discord.
The newest TYOC Prompt Has been released! TYOC: Knowledge vs Skill! Enjoy! :D

[Event] Linguan Pride Festival '22 [CLOSED]
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku
Ah, is it June once again? 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.
You see a Paralogos, looks like Gingko - running around a brightly colored cape!
He looks over and smiles widely. It is also as if it is a welcome to Sermos' Pride festival! People from everywhere around Lingua travelled here to have a good time. There's so much to see and do.
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 [Note, as of 6/14/22 we do allow AU artwork as well! Such as human forms and similar!]
- The following NPCs/mascots: Ginkgo (demiromantic), Rot (aromantic) & Gin (demiromantic)
- 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 2022 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.

May Spotlight + News
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku
Hi all! After a very busy April (for mewhaku !) we have a slow and easy go month for you all.
We have Iron 's sheet set up LINKED HERE. In order to deal with this you'll need to make a copy and go through your own claims. You'll need to then submit to ASK QUESTIONS HERE prompt with your adjusted total. We hope this helps. EDIT: PURCHASE HISTORY LINK HERE.
EDIT: As for a reasoning as to "What this is" -
Since the first day the site has been up and running, we were unable to implement the membership card discount. Everyone who had the card was supposed to have a 5% discount, but since the site launched, that has unfortunately been missing in action.
The sheet linked on the news post is for filling in everything you purchased on-site, from either the moment the site went up, assuming you already had a membership card at the time, or from the moment you got your membership card.. up until the discount got returned at the start of the last month. (Of course, if you forgot to use your discount since it's been implemented, you're also allowed to add those.)
For example, if all you bought since the site has been up was one (1) level 6 MYO book, which costs 200 ink, you'd get 10 ink back. (As 10 is 5% of 200.)
Please follow the instructions on the Splash page of the sheet. After filling up the sheet with your information, you can send that in and regain the 5% discount you were supposed to get over all those purchases.
The new Monthly Prompt has been released: TYOC: Science vs Mystery Remember this is part of the Year of Competitions event!
The Spotlight member this month is Kei !
We picked Kei this month for all amazing activity you've shown in the group and in general!
Thank you again for making this group a better place.
You will be awarded a membership card:
We thank you so again for making this group a better place. And we wouldn't be what we are without you!

They belong to Shadonut in both cases!
Members who draw or write about this Paralogos or Whiffling through the month of May 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.
Finally... we honor:
This is a collection of some of the wonderful artworks and writing that have been submitted to our group the last month.

April Spotlight + News
Posted 2 years ago :: Last edited 2 years ago by mewhaku
We have a plethora of new features (not to worry, this is NOT April Fools related!) to announce on site.
Firstly... we have Co-Owners. By submitting to this prompt (we've added new instructions for this feature), we can add a SECOND owner to any character for you. See #84 Black Baccara Rose and #85 Dog Rose as examples!
Second, we have Shop Features, which FINALLY enables Membership Card use properly!!! When you purchase something from ANY shop, you will see the option to use the card. The Membership Card is infinite use, so please don't worry about using it. Contact us if there are any issues!
We apologize for taking so long to get this function online, we were unfortunately reliant on extension developers, as we do not have the know-how to do this properly ourselves. We are trying to think of how to compensate those affected. If anyone has suggestions, please let us know, but we cannot retroactively calculate currency lost as a result.
Third, we have the Adoption Center, which is not enabled currently but we will work on getting it set up.
Fourth, we have Wishlists, which should be fun in general! =D
AND... I have rolled the winners of the 7th Anniversary World of Lingua Raffle. I will be reaching out to Howee , wanderandfriend , FNGaymer , Shane , Inkcess , and Kei in that order!!
