y'know, I've realized I'm rarely super into him as an LI (though I haven't gotten more that the one intro scene for Sodyk yet), but I tend to like him a *lot* as a subcharacter. he's good as hell in both Itehari and Otome Daoshi.

The Pratt Garfield movie is one of those movies where the people making it have ZERO interest in the thing they’re making and instead want to make something else
Like those old comics where like a subcharacter chows up and owns the entire story

We wanted to use jamo (the subcharacter building blocks for Korean syllables) as the base vocabulary instead. There are only ~70 of these subcharacters, and each syllable can be uniquely factored into a sequence of three jamo (a consonant, vowel, and optional final consonant). For example 한 = ㅎ,ㅏ,ㄴ.
