Summary
"The Dai Bendu language was spoken by the members of the ancient Order of Dai Bendu on the frozen planet of Ando Prime. The name of the Je'daii Order was forged in that language."
"Every language is like a one-of-a-kind species. It captures unique conceptualizations of the world and has its own ways of constructing words, phrases and sentences for communicating ideas. As we compare the words and structures of various languages, we come to a greater understanding of our world. (...) Language captures how we perceive the world around us and how we relate to one another, it defines who we are. The Mother tongue language we grow up with is the one used to express what is in our hearts; our heart language."
"Studying language is invaluable for learning about other cultures and mapping their respective developments, histories, myths, customs, etc. Linguistics also helps us understand and document geographical /environmental influences, periods of migration/diaspora, origin of certain spiritual beliefs, etc. through the study of things like cognates, shared myths between cultures, language families, and tracking differences in word usage and dialects over a long period of time."

A Discussion of the Coruscant Centralization in the light of delo anohrah by loosingletters
In order to lessen the chance of a Sith resurgence, the Order began training children from birth. In addition, the training of Padawans was centralized on Coruscant, to remove the danger of unsupervised students delving into forbidden Sith knowledge. - Wookiepedia on the Ruusan Reformation

Snapshots in the life of the Jedi, centered around certain words in their language.
Retranslation of the Sith Code from a Linguistic Perspective by loosingletters
While Mando’a is undoubtedly the conlang with the most extensive vocabulary, it is not the soundest Star Wars conlang from a linguistic perspective. That honor belongs to the version of the Sith conlang that was later amended and developed by Ben Grossblatt. The Sith Code, as we know it, was developed by David Gaider in 2003 for the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Grossblatt’s conlang was created seven years later in 2010.
When you consider this, Grossblatt had two options when creating his conlang and translation of the Code. He could translate the Code from English into Sith, or he could pretend the English (or “Basic”) version of the Code resulted from a translation from Sith.
TLDR: I took a look at the English version of the Sith Code and decided it doesn't quite pick up all the nuances the text has in the Sith conlang and proceeded to write 3.000 words analyzing it.

Make a Little Birdhouse in Your Soul Anthology by bacondoughnut
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, DCU
03 Jan 2023
Summary
Anthology containing:
the bird, the fog, the mist
Jason Todd returns to Gotham with a foolproof plan, to kill the Joker and protect the city as the Red Hood in a way that Batman never could. But when he gets there he makes one major decision that's not a part of the plan. He goes home.
aka; The one where Jason tries to balance being the Red Hood with repairing things with his family, and maybe learns a thing or two about forgiveness and family and love along the way
the difference between a soul and a ghost
At times, he can sound so much like the petulant, rebellious teenager he's supposed to be that it's genuinely haunting. The stubborn set to his jaw, the downward tug of his eyebrows. Maybe it's meant to appear angry, or even intimidating, but in truth it just makes him look jarringly young.
meanwhile, the wild geese
Jason killed the Joker, but it turns out he still has a long road ahead of him to work on healing. In the meantime, he just hopes he can help Damian find a little bit of the peace he's found since coming home. And not having assassins after him or his family might be a nice touch, too.
aka; The one where the family takes on the League of Assassins, Damian learns a thing or two about belonging, and Jason gets a dog. Not necessarily in that order.
