now playing ー ✦ A Jellyfish Playlist~
lucidiot gave me the idea to include a glossary of all the strange terms my friend Eggy and I use, since it’s become such a part of my vocabulary I forget it might not be something others are familiar with. 
so, as per his suggestion, here goes a glossary of as many terms as I could think of in what I will be calling “Egglish,” the shared language Eggy and I use. 
many of these terms are final fantasy xiv-centric because Egg and I met playing ffxiv. 
if you’d like to hear any of the provided IPA spellings spoken aloud, try copy-pasting them here!
