>we break into groups
>I get put in with "that kid"
>Clearly some form of autism that inhibits self-awareness
>"Soooo the story I have been working on, which I will make a longer novel, is inspired by Feudal Era Japan."
>He's doing the autism thing where they heavily rock side to side in their swivel chair
>"I wanted to focus on normal peasants rather than valorant, honorable samurai or what have you
>See there are no human characters in my story
>Instead I have created several 'races' based on Japanese mythology
>There are the Eboni, who are bunny people. They have an affinity with the moon
>The Kawasuro, who are otter people
>Kitsune, who are Fox people
>The Tanuki... I worked to make them more modest than they are in real mythology
>The main character is Taki... Deki... ummm... Takiketsuruki, who's a bunny person and a blacksmith. They wield [unpronouncable name that he garbled and skipped over] which is a giant wooden mallet used for breaking down doors. He is comfortable with it because it is like a hammer and he is a smith.
>This other character fights with jade magic which is based on the lay of the Ley Lines
>Have you ever read Journey to the West? It's supposed to be like that where the conflict is their journey getting to the emperor. Technically there is a main antagonist but I don't have it fully worked out yet"
Honestly it's hard to do justice to this story, it's a shame the professor doesn't record our zoom sessions because this was fucking gold. The other two were just staring into space the whole time and I was fighting so hard not to giggle and laugh out loud at this guy, a reaction I've honestly never had in a "face to face" interaction before.
While listening I imagined the "races" to be like in those anime where it's humans with animal ears, but looking back I'm pretty sure this is actually furry.
Now that I think about it, we're going to workshop everybody's stories, which means I will have a hard copy of this completed magnum opus.

How do Finnish spellcheckers work?
>inb4 "they don't"
Do they have a huge list of known sane words (or anything that isn't a hapax legomenon)?
Do they use a set of rules and suffixes to validate each word?
Would I get a big tiddy Finnish gf/qt trap Finnish bf or become a better shitposter if I learn the language?
